struggle in a small town

Chapter 37
After a busy day, the mall is closing.

Zhang Xuejiao was so sleepy that she kept yawning.

Lin Zhiyuan wanted to stay with her for a while, but felt sorry for her that she didn't get enough sleep, so he proposed to buy some food and go home.

Zhang Xuejiao squeezed her eyes, feeling a little sluggish, and shook her head after a long time of reaction: "I have bread over there, I'll go to sleep after I eat something."

"Then I'll take you back."

"Row."

Walking out of the shopping mall, Zhang Xuejiao was about to ask where the car was parked, but Lin Zhiyuan urged, "Put on your gloves."

She took out the pink gloves and put them on bravely. She didn't expect her hands to be particularly slender, not to mention soft.

She subconsciously dug out the label from the packing box, and after looking at the 100% pure cashmere written on it, she realized that it wasn't something that cost 10 yuan a pair on the street.

Think about it too, the box alone costs a few dollars.

Lin Zhiyuan saw it, and explained: "I saw it on the way, and I think it suits you."

"Thank you."

Zhang Xuejiao is not a hypocritical person either, so she put away the packing box and looked up: "Where is the car parked?"

"Stop you downstairs."

"That's it"

Lin Zhiyuan had already thought about it: "It's not far, let's go for a walk."

Zhang Xuejiao usually walked over, and she didn't think there was anything wrong.

After walking in silence for 2 minutes, Lin Zhiyuan had nothing to say: "It's so cold, I don't know if it will snow during the Chinese New Year."

"It's best not to, I still want to go out and play."

Lin Zhiyuan didn't expect that he would come up with something out of a casual question. This was a surprise!

"Where do you want to go?"

Zhang Xuejiao didn't hide it: "Ride on the motorcycle, find a direction at random, and stop when you encounter something delicious and delicious."

Lin Zhiyuan imagined the scene, the blue sky and white clouds, the beautiful girl speeding on the road chicly amidst the roar of the motorcycle.

He wants to go too.

But he can't ride a motorcycle.

How can I get her to take me with me?
"Are you not afraid of danger alone?"

"I don't want to go too far." Zhang Xuejiao laughed at herself: "When I opened the store, I wanted to be free. I didn't expect to be tied up in the store all day, that is, I can only go out for a walk during the Chinese New Year."

"Understandable. When my family first opened the bookstore, my parents stayed in the store every day."

While chatting, we went downstairs.

Zhang Xuejiao stopped in her tracks: "Just send it here."

"Okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."

"No, no, no." Zhang Xuejiao refused in a panic: "You have already helped a lot, so I can't take up your time anymore."

Lin Zhiyuan would not follow her words and leave directly: "Go up, it's cold outside."

"Oh, bye."

After going upstairs, Zhang Xuejiao remembered that Lin Zhiyuan didn't give her the car keys.

Forget it, we'll see you anyway.

Opening her eyes, Zhang Xuejiao looked at the bright light on the ceiling, and then remembered that she was too sleepy last night and forgot to draw the curtains.

Looking at the time, it's already 08:30!
She hurriedly got up, washed casually, grabbed a piece of bread and put it in her mouth, took the bag and ran outside.

Walking out of the unit door, she was surprised to find that Lin Zhiyuan was standing in the snow, with a thin layer of snow on his body.

"How long have you been here? You're just standing there? Call me!"

"Not long." Lin Zhiyuan shook the multi-layer insulated lunch box in his hand: "Millet pumpkin porridge, and my mother's steamed shrimp meat buns."

Zhang Xuejiao suddenly felt that the bread in her mouth was no longer fragrant, and the shrimp buns were Aunt Song's specialty.

Lin Zhiyuan tricked her with a smile: "Eat a steamed stuffed bun first?"

"have you eaten?"

"I want to be with you, but I'm afraid that the temperature will be lost by opening the lid."

Zhang Xuejiao stuffed the bread into her mouth, and muttered vaguely: "You really deserve to be a master, what you said is so nice."

Lin Zhiyuan pretended not to hear.

Only a fool will admit that he is a master in love.

It was still snowing outside, Zhang Xuejiao hesitated for a moment, but changed her mind: "Go to my house to eat."

Lin Zhiyuan went upstairs happily with the joy of his little trick succeeding.

He knew that if he came here with porridge, he would definitely be able to enter the door.

After all, eating in the store will leave a bad smell and affect customers' desire to buy.

The elevator stopped on the 16th floor, Zhang Xuejiao took out the key and opened the door: "Come in."

Lin Zhiyuan rubbed the soles of his shoes on the cartoon mat at the door, and stood there without moving after entering: "Do you want to change your shoes?"

"It doesn't matter if you change it or not."

Zhang Xuejiao said that she had already changed into gray cotton slippers with long-eared rabbits.

"The guest is up to the owner, let's change it."

Lin Zhiyuan saw it in his eyes and kept it in his heart, um, Xiaoxue likes such cute little things.

Zhang Xuejiao searched in the shoe cabinet, and embarrassedly took out a pair of men's sandals and slippers: "I didn't prepare the guest's cotton slippers, why don't you change them?"

Lin Zhiyuan really wanted to ask whose pair of sandals and slippers belonged to, so he held back: "It's okay, there is heating at home, and it's not cold."

Zhang Xuejiao put the sandals and slippers in front of him: "This is my dad's, and it shouldn't be too small, so you can make do with it."

Lin Zhiyuan's mood instantly improved.

It seems that Lei Ming has such a close relationship with her, and he rarely comes to her house.

After changing his shoes, Lin Zhiyuan formally stepped into the living room.

Zhang Xuejiao beckoned him to sit down, and went to the kitchen by herself.

Not only do you have to take the bowls and chopsticks, but you also need to adjust the dipping sauce.

Lin Zhiyuan looked around, the living room area was at least fifty square meters, the decoration was in a simple style, half of the area was empty.

In the corner of the partition wall between the living room and the balcony, stood a high-power air conditioner.

A smoky gray three-seater sofa is placed next to it, with an oval single-layer transparent glass tea table in front, and a smoky gray carpet underneath.

There are no common TV cabinets and TVs on the opposite side of the sofa. A log-colored bookshelf at least two meters wide is placed in the corner, and a computer desk of the same color is placed next to it.

The computer screen is quite big, and the router next to it is still flashing green.

The rest of the living room is empty, with only white walls.

Lin Zhiyuan untied the scarf and put it aside. Hearing the sound of "dong dong dong" coming from the kitchen, he raised his legs and walked over.

Zhang Xuejiao was patting garlic, saw him coming in, and greeted him: "Wash your hands, you can eat right away."

"Okay." Lin Zhiyuan unbuttoned his coat: "Is it okay to hang the clothes by the door?"

Zhang Xuejiao looked at him in surprise when she heard the words: "Otherwise?"

After hanging up his clothes, Lin Zhiyuan went into the bathroom and found that Zhang Xuejiao was using a fully automatic toilet.

Not only can it automatically flush, but it also has cleaning, deodorizing, and drying functions.

The faucet is also different from the ordinary ones. It is a pull-out type with an extra shower head.

Even the soap placed next to it is in the shape of flowers.

Lin Zhiyuan turned on the faucet, thinking that Xiaoxue is still a person who cares about the quality of life.

Zhang Xuejiao walked to the living room with the dishes and dipping ingredients: "It's time to eat."

"coming."

Lin Zhiyuan came out after drying his hands, saw that she was arranging the dishes on the tea table, and hurried over to help.

Open the insulated lunch box, the upper two layers are buns, and put it on the coffee table together with the lunch box.

It's just that the porridge was stained under one layer, which stained the tea table.

Lin Zhiyuan took out a piece of paper and was about to wipe it, but Zhang Xuejiao stopped him: "We'll do it after eating."

This very ordinary sentence brought back some charming memories of Lin Zhiyuan.

The past tense, the ex-girlfriends may all be married.

Lin Zhiyuan didn't say a word, watching her pour the porridge into the bowl.

After Zhang Xuejiao finished pouring, she realized that it was enough to eat in the lunch box: "Look at my brain, I have to wash two more dishes."
