struggle in a small town

Chapter 40

The deli wasn't closed, but it was empty.

After Lin Zhiyuan asked, he found out that the business was good a year ago, so he needed to book in advance.

The extra ones have already been sold out.

Along the way, most of the restaurants are closed, and if you want to eat, you can only go further afield.

Zhang Xuejiao really didn't want to leave.

Lin Zhiyuan quickly changed his strategy: "My mother must be cooking, you go back with me?"

"Don't go."

Zhang Xuejiao went back with him only after she went crazy.

It's one thing to follow your parents, it's another to follow him.

She didn't want to be misunderstood by Song Xiuni now.

Lin Zhiyuan had no choice but to think of a way: "Then go home, I will cook, you rest."

"Need not."

"That `s a deal."

Lin Zhiyuan didn't give her a chance to refuse, turned around and walked back.

Zhang Xuejiao followed behind feebly, wishing to poke a few holes in him with her eyes.

After entering the door, she threw off her shoes and threw herself on the sofa with bare feet, not wanting to move.

Lin Zhiyuan knew him well, took out the newly bought cotton slippers and put them on, took off his coat and hung it up, put the shopping bag on the coffee table, and went to the kitchen.

Open the refrigerator door, the top layer is full of milk, two bags of bread are placed on the second layer, and a few tomatoes are placed in the fresh-keeping box on the third layer.

There are five more eggs in the storage box on the door.

After closing the refrigerator, he looked through the cupboard again, and there was nothing in it except a few packets of instant noodles.

Should not be!

Obviously she cooks so delicious food, but there are no ingredients at home.

At least there should be rice, right?
As a result, there was not even a single green vegetable.

After thinking about it, Lin Zhiyuan took two tomatoes and three eggs, and prepared to make tomato egg noodles.

Wash, chop, put into the pot, stir fry.

The instant noodles were cooked quickly, and when he came out with the bowl, he found Zhang Xuejiao curled up on the sofa and fell asleep without even taking off her coat.

The heart is so big.

There is a man in the family, and she can sleep well.

Lin Zhiyuan didn't dare to enter the bedroom, took his overcoat, and gently covered her stomach.

Then she took the bowl back to the kitchen, ate it quickly, covered the remaining tomato and egg marinade, and planned to cook the noodles again after she woke up.

Zhang Xuejiao fell asleep and felt hot, turned over and kicked something, it was hard but soft, not like a sofa.

Opening his eyes in a daze, he saw Lin Zhiyuan smiling at her: "Are you awake?"

"You didn't leave?" Zhang Xuejiao sat up on the sofa, still feeling sleepy: "What time is it?"

"It's almost eleven o'clock."

Zhang Xuejiao couldn't help but yawned: "Are you still leaving so late? What's the matter, do you want to live with me?"

"Extremely happy." Lin Zhiyuan stood up: "I made tomato egg noodles, you can eat some."

"It's too late, if you don't eat, you will gain weight."

Lin Zhiyuan said that he had already entered the kitchen: "No one dislikes you, so if you are fat, you will be fat."

Zhang Xuejiao rubbed her face, wondering why she was so sleepy and could fall asleep even with guests at home.

No, no, no, it can't be like this in the future.

Fortunately, Lin Zhiyuan knew everything, and he didn't have any bad intentions, otherwise something would happen.

There are several plates on the coffee table, each containing the purchased peanuts, melon seeds and candies.

Zhang Xuejiao couldn't help complaining: "It's really self-conscious."

Only then did she realize that his coat was covering her body.

The faint smell of cigarettes mixed with the smell of his body is not annoying at all.

Zhang Xuejiao also found it strange that her father smelled particularly bad of cigarettes, but Lin Zhiyuan didn't.

Well, it is possible that Zhiyuan Lin is not a smoker.

Within a few minutes, Lin Zhiyuan came out with a bowl in his hand: "Eat some."

Again and again, Zhang Xuejiao was too embarrassed to refuse.

Red crushed tomatoes, yellow egg flakes, green vegetable dices, and white instant noodles are pretty nice.

Lin Zhiyuan watched her eating noodles, thinking that he must buy some food in the future, at least fill up the refrigerator.

As for those milk breads, they were not food at all in his eyes.

At best, it's something to keep alive.

Zhang Xuejiao sweated while eating, and took off her coat casually.

Lin Zhiyuan consciously took it and hung it by the door.

Zhang Xuejiao looked at his back and felt that the sweater on his body was quite nice.

Dark blue bottom, light blue diamond grid, very classic pattern.

Lin Zhiyuan turned around and met her eyes just in time: "What's wrong?"

"Nice sweater."

"Like it?"

Zhang Xuejiao nodded: "Well, if it were me, I would also buy this kind, it's versatile."

"If there are women's models, if you like it, give it to you."

"no, I'm fine."

Zhang Xuejiao really convinced him, she just asked to give something, a lot of money!
Lin Zhiyuan sat down next to her: "I didn't think carefully today, I didn't expect you to be so tired, and I dragged you to the supermarket."

"It's ok."

"Xiaoxue, I."

The phone rang, and Lin Zhiyuan hurriedly took it out to see that it was Wang Mengyun again.

Hang up immediately.

Looking at his actions, Zhang Xuejiao was quite puzzled: "Why didn't you answer?"

Just about to explain, Wang Mengyun called again.

"Take it, in case there is something urgent."

Lin Zhiyuan had no choice but to connect: "Hello."

"Xiaoyuan help!"

The voice was loud, Zhang Xuejiao put down her chopsticks and looked at his cell phone nervously.

Lin Zhiyuan was also taken aback: "What's wrong?"

"My husband hit me."

Then there was only whimpering.

Zhang Xuejiao recalled: "Her husband beat her, and instead of calling the police, he called you?"

Lin Zhiyuan sighed inwardly, raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose: "Meng Yun, the alarm number is 110, you made a mistake."

After finishing speaking, he hung up and turned off the phone, saving Wang Mengyun to call again.

Zhang Xuejiao took out a piece of paper and wiped her mouth clean: "It's getting late, you should go back."

"Xiaoxue, it's not what you think."

"It has nothing to do with me." Zhang Xuejiao stood up to see off the guests: "You should go back."

Lin Zhiyuan was frustrated.

He worked hard for so many days, but was disturbed by a call from Wang Mengyun.

"Xiaoxue."

Zhang Xuejiao insisted: "You go, it's getting late."

Lin Zhiyuan knew that it would be useless to talk more now, and the description would get darker and darker, so he had no choice but to leave.

Zhang Xuejiao locked the door, flushed the leftovers from the bowl into the toilet, cleaned herself up and climbed into bed to go back to sleep.

I just lay down for a long time, but couldn't fall asleep.

She couldn't help thinking, what was the relationship between that woman and Lin Zhiyuan just now?
For things like being beaten up by your husband, you have to call the police or go to the elders. Why did you go to Lin Zhiyuan?

Could it be that they have something?
Could it be his ex-girlfriend?

Now that we broke up, we should each be safe and forget about each other, why are we still inseparable?
An ex-girlfriend is too lethal.

The two of them have memories and love, what do I have?
Zhang Xuejiao laughed at herself, why did she think so much, since she had nothing to do with him.

Love someone.

Or find someone who has never been in love, and build your own memories together.

Lin Zhiyuan stood downstairs, and he didn't go home until Zhang Xuejiao's window lights were turned off.

The mood is extremely different.

Sorry, I shouldn't have answered the phone.

Knowing Wang Mengyun's temper, he still answered the phone in front of Xiaoxue. Isn't it courting death?
This is all right, let Xiaoxue misunderstand.

Originally, she was cautious when it comes to relationships, and she managed to get closer, but it was all useless because of a phone call.

No, I have to make it clear to Xiaoxue tomorrow.
