Miss, you are my future wife
Chapter 344 Home Base
Chapter 344 Home Base
*This chapter is also called "The Home Run Booster"
On August 8, the day before school started, the temperature dropped a bit.
But Zhang Zhengkai still drank a bottle of very cold Sprite.
He bought the bottle of Sprite at the kiosk at the entrance of Xiao Yao's grandma's alley. It was in a glass bottle and needed a beer bottle cap opener to open it. After drinking, he had to return the bottle.
Zhang Zhengkai likes to drink drinks in glass bottles, which makes him full of energy.
He especially likes the water droplets that condense on the outside of the glass bottle like morning dew, just like the pattern on the advertisement.
The boy raised his neck and finished the bottle of Sprite in two gulps. He stopped once in the middle to release the carbon dioxide. It only took seven or eight seconds in total.
comfortable.
He wanted to hold up the empty bottle and say to the proprietress of the canteen: "It's sparkling and refreshing, Sprite."
But he won't do such trivial things.
Zhang Zhengkai slammed the empty bottle on the glass table of the canteen and let out a long burp.
The proprietress of the canteen: “Young man, would you like another bottle?”
Zhang Zhengkai turned back and walked deeper into the alley, raised his right hand and waved at the proprietress with the back of his hand, leaving only a free and unrestrained back.
Zhang Zhengkai knew in his heart that he was trapped by obsession.
The boy put the headphones on the back of his head again.
"Do you know, the feeling of missing someone is like drinking a glass of ice-cold water, and then it takes a long, long time to condense into tears one by one..."
Zhang Zhengkai walked to an intersection in the alley, turned in with familiarity, and stood under the shadow of an awning.
The alley where Xiao Yao lives has two entrances and exits.
However, no matter which entrance or exit you take, you will definitely pass by this place.
As long as he doesn't nap, he won't miss it.
Probably.
"Do you know that the feeling of forgetting someone is like appreciating a kind of cruel beauty; then in a very small voice, tell yourself to face it with strength..."
Zhang Zhengkai shook his head and listened to the sounds of Jinggang Mountain coming out of his headphones, and couldn't help but hum along softly: "Do you know~Do you know~Do you know~~~"
Then he shut his mouth suddenly.
If Shen Jie or someone else heard it, wouldn't it be a warning?
Zhang Zhengkai raised his head and looked at the second floor window with his big eyes.
The curtains were pulled open, and you could see through the clear glass window...you could see a ghost, and you could only see a statue of Jesus that was literally "sheltered".
This is the fourth time Zhang Zhengkai has come. The curtains were closed last time and open last time.
There are various signs that the two of them live here, at least there are people living here.
The boy let out a long sigh.
"Do you know, do you know, do you know what it feels like to be lonely? Loneliness is because you miss someone..."
Zhang Zhengkai took off his headphones with some irritation, and then turned off the Walkman.
Two days ago, I went to Xiahai Temple to meditate. I met a master named "Shi Hui" and gave him a few words of encouragement.
The master said that there are eight sufferings in life, which are called "birth, old age, illness, death, separation from love, long-lasting hatred, not being able to get what you want, and meeting with resentment and hatred."
I suddenly suffered from the two sufferings of "love separation" and "unavailability". I had to say that it was unspeakable.
Following what the master said, Zhang Zhengkai began to imagine what Shen Jie would look like a hundred years from now.
No matter how beautiful and charming a woman is, after a hundred years, she will be nothing more than a withered skeleton.
Zhang Zhengkai closed his eyes and deeply imagined what Shen Jie would look like a hundred years from now.On the canvas of his mind, a bleak picture appeared: it was a shriveled skeleton, with white bones clearly visible, arranged neatly like ancient teeth.The once plump face has now faded away, leaving only the remaining skin on the skull, which is pale and shriveled.
Shen Jie's long hair also faded under the ravages of time and turned into dust in the wind.The eye sockets under the skull were once bright and bright, but now they are just empty and lifeless.A hundred years of vicissitudes have deprived her of all appearance and vitality, leaving only a ruthless skeleton, which seems to silently tell the fragility and shortness of life.
Zhang Zhengkai deeply felt the fragility and impermanence of life. The master's words of "unavailability" and "love apart" were more deeply engraved in his heart at this moment.He silently prayed that Shen Jie could cherish time in this life and leave no regrets, because a hundred years from now, everything will be a thing of the past, leaving only a handful of lifeless bones.
……
But even if she turns into withered bones, she is still very cute.
Damn it, I’m really hopeless, Zhang Zhengkai thought.
To get rid of "self-grasping"...
A short girl with short hair, Shi Shiran, walked past the intersection of the alley, and Zhang Zhengkai's heart skipped a beat.
After he could see the girl's face clearly, he retracted under the awning with half disappointment and half relief.
Thinking about it, the first time (in the sense of feeling) was not very far away, as if it was just yesterday.
Zhang Zhengkai recalled the dance, it was on a... night when the lights were on.
Well, it's a high-society dance.
This can be regarded as the first encounter between the two of them. Is it an encounter?First time meeting, whatever.
At that time, I was sitting in the corner of the dance party, drinking a glass of Sprite from 82, and watching her dance alone in the middle of the dance floor.
Look at her eyes closed, like a lonely note.
In Zhang Zhengkai's imagination, he was counting her messy steps on the empty street...
A group of male and female urchins laughed and ran past Zhang Zhengkai noisily, interrupting his fantasy time.
I hate it.
One of the little girls gave him a wary and strange look, as if she was looking at a bad guy.
Brother, I am not a bad person, Zhang Zhengkai thought.
He gave the little girl a warm smile, but the guy turned around and ran away.
Tsk, really.
In short, let’s just say that the feeling of falling in love with someone for the first time, that innocent and ignorant throbbing, even if I think about it now, I can relate to it, as if I am right in front of my eyes, and I can feel that melting love. The warmth makes people smile involuntarily.
And thinking back to his, or rather her, current situation, the corners of Zhang Zhengkai's mouth drooped again.
Sadness flows like river.
A thin old man wearing glasses rode a dilapidated bicycle in front of Zhang Zhengkai. The wheels made a sound when they pressed against the upturned stone slabs.
Zhang Zhengkai couldn't figure it out or understand Shen Jie's choice.
In terms of appearance, I am much prettier than that Xiao Yao. In terms of figure... I still have a lot of potential. In terms of family background, there is not much to say. In terms of talent, knowledge and sense of humor, I am also far ahead.
To sum up, let's just say that apart from being taller and older, Xiao Yao has nothing that can compare to him.
What is his charm? What can make little Shen Jie so devoted? Not just for a romantic relationship, but for him to be willing to fall out with her father, run away from home, and live in his home.
My eyes are gone!The water in the West Lake has entered my brain!
Why West Lake?Forget it, it's not important.
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhengkai couldn't help but feel resentful towards his father and Shen Hongsheng, especially Shen Hongsheng.
Zhang Zhengkai did not expect that Shen Hongsheng would give up just like that.
Not giving up on this marriage, but giving up on... his daughter?
He knew clearly where his daughter was but didn't send anyone to look for her.
What else said, "It's going to rain and my daughter wants to get married, so let her be"?
Friends, help me, are there any fathers like you?
In fact, when he first learned that Shen Jie went to the Dongqi summer camp incognito, Zhang Zhengkai immediately made preparations to arrest him.
As a result, he was locked at home by his father.
Dad even threatened to break his legs if he went to find a girl from the Shen family again.
Since the parents of both parties had this attitude, the marriage was of course a complete failure.
Zhang Zhengkai lost his last trace of "legitimacy".
But to be fair, his father has been extremely kind to him.
How many fathers in the world would push for such a big marriage just to satisfy the childish wish of their son, a son who is a junior high school student?
Zhang Zhengkai knew that he had no reason to blame his father anymore.
The only thing to blame is Shen Jie's confusion and willfulness. After all, she is still young.
And that Xiao Yao.
Zhang Zhengkai is not a saint, he cannot suppress his hatred.
The ancients said that the hatred for killing one's father and the hatred for taking away one's wife are all like this.
The hatred of seizing his wife is a crime parallel to the crime of killing his father.
But impotent hatred solves nothing.
Two boys who looked like high school students were walking past me wearing small vests, dripping with sweat, holding basketballs under their creaky nests.
Calmly, patiently, and think carefully, how could things develop like this step by step?
At the beginning, although Shen Jie declined her confession, she was still polite, friendly and patient with herself.
Later, maybe there was something wrong with the way I pursued him, and I was a little too obsessive. The other party could feel it, and he was obviously a little impatient.
But generally speaking, he was polite to himself and never took any hostile stance.
However, since the situation has been stuck here, neither up nor down, Zhang Zhengkai changed to another track.
When I just urged my father to find a marriage alliance with the Shen family, based on the feedback from Shen Hongsheng, his daughter was not very disgusted or opposed.
In Shen Hongsheng's original words, Shen Jie is a person who "knows the general picture" and "recognizes his own identity."
Of course, it is not ruled out that Shen Hongsheng is gaining weight. (bragging, telling lies)
However, when this matter was informally put on the agenda, Shen Jie's attitude towards herself did not become worse. On the contrary, it became vaguely better.
Zhang Zhengkai was a little unsure whether this was a man's illusion, but it was certain that it had not gone bad.
When did her attitude turn 360°?
Just before the official engagement, she suddenly began to object strongly and ran away from home.
All in all, it should have happened some time after Xiao Yao appeared.
Obviously, Xiao Shen Jie fell in love with that man, so she showed an indifferent attitude towards the engagement at first, but then suddenly changed.
Wait, is this short girl who walked over actually Shen Jie?
It's a bit like it, but not quite like it. It's impossible to tell for sure when wearing a mask.
Zhang Zhengkai subconsciously took two steps after him, thinking that it shouldn't be the case.
A woman who likes to wear a mask when going out for nothing is really SX.
However, Shen Jie might also deliberately use this method to deceive others, Zhang Zhengkai reminded himself.
……
If, I mean if.
If I had not asked my father to facilitate the marriage at the beginning, but continued to show my sincerity on the regular track, would the outcome have changed?
Could it be that she accepted Xiao Yao because she hated her behavior and had a rebellious mentality?
It's also possible that nothing will change and Shen Jie will just accelerate into the arms of others.
Zhang Zhengkai had no way of knowing.
Have no idea.
There is no time machine in this world, and there is no way to go back in time and verify "If...then...".
Regret is useless, now is not the best time to do some self-examination.
In fact, Zhang Zhengkai himself didn’t want to come.
It's not that he didn't know that he was doing something stupid.
No one likes to stand in one place waiting for someone, basking in the sun for hours, watching everyone coming and going like a fool.
Isn’t it delicious when I’m at home with the air conditioner blowing, eating cold drinks and playing GBA?
But Zhang Zhengkai just couldn't help it.
He couldn't control himself.
When he was sitting at home, it was like a hundred cats were scratching and scratching in his heart.
He clearly knew where Shen Jie was, but he couldn't control it and couldn't stop his desire to see her.
It is also a kind of floodgate for libido that has nowhere to rest.
As long as you do something, even if there is no good change, even if it makes things worse, it is better than waiting at home and doing nothing.
Therefore, as long as his father is not at home, Zhang Zhengkai will sneak out and wait here for a few hours.
Wait until your libido is used up, and then go home. At least you can have an explanation with yourself.
"I tried my best." "I did something."
Use this method to soothe your soul in exchange for short-term peace and relief from anxiety.
The old monk can't help me. I'm going to see the school's psychology teacher when school starts.
Speaking of school.
School starts tomorrow, and then there will be no time or means to come here and keep an eye on him.
Today should be the last time.
If you still can't wait for her, then give up completely and give up completely.
Zhang Zhengkai's eyes were fixed on the comings and goings of people who were starting to become a bit frequent.
Wait another half hour, just half an hour, I will leave immediately, Zhang Zhengkai thought.
In his heart, he was hoping that Shen Jie would appear in the next second, and at the same time, he secretly hoped that she would not appear.
Just wait enough time and go home.
Zhang Zhengkai silently reviewed in his mind what he should say to Shen Jie if he waited for her.
Even if there is a high probability that he cannot wait, his character does not allow him to fight an unprepared battle.
"Wherever sincerity comes, gold and stone will be opened."
What "a fierce woman is afraid of stalking a man".
What "If you keep thinking about it, there will be echoes."
What kind of chivalrous and sincere waiting.
Lies, all lies!
The ancients, sincerity, deceived me!
Zhang Zhengkai glanced at the time on his phone anxiously, there were still 11 minutes left.
You will be relieved soon.
The boy realized that his anxiety was rising again and decided to listen to the Walkman again.
"Later, you wore blue clothes and took away my softest part;
So I grew up alone, enduring the wind, rain and sunshine, enduring the vast sea of people, and enduring you being far away.
Come, wear your blue clothes, and pierce my softest place;
I like growing up alone, I like wind, rain and sunshine, I like the vast sea of people, I like you in the distance..." As soon as Old Lang sang the words "I like you in the distance", Shen Jie walked past Zhang Zhengkai.
Zhang Zhengkai's target only glanced at the little girl's face for half a second, and he immediately completed the recognition.
His heart also stopped for half a second.
Damn it, I'm leaving soon...
The girl's middle hair is very messy, as if it has not been combed. She is wearing a simple short-sleeved T-shirt on her upper body, which looks a bit like a man's T-shirt and is a lot bigger. Her lower body is wearing a pair of black trousers with trouser leg covers. On the upper of a white sneaker.
"Shen Jie." Zhang Zhengkai called.
He heard his voice sound a little bitter and hoarse.
The girl trembled all over and did not look back.
"Can I talk to you?" Zhang Zhengkai said politely, with a bit of humility in his tone.
The girl ran away almost subconsciously.
Zhang Zhengkai had no choice but to chase after him subconsciously.
The young man was chasing after her in the alley. He was feeling nervous and anxious. He hoped to have a good talk with Shen Jie and explain his feelings.He kept calling her name, with a hint of humility and longing in his voice.
Shen Jie ran very fast, but while she was running wildly, the soles of her feet suddenly slipped for some reason, causing her to stagger and slow down.
People in the alley were attracted by this sudden scene and stopped to watch.
Zhang Zhengkai tried to calm down his emotions while chasing after him. He didn't want Shen Jie to get hurt because of him.
However, it is counterproductive.
Just as Shen Jie was running, she stepped on a loose stone and fell to the ground.
Zhang Zhengkai quickly rushed to her side and asked with concern whether she was injured.
Shen Jie sat up tiredly. One of her shoes had fallen off at some point, revealing her white socks, but she was still struggling desperately with shortness of breath, as if she wanted to continue to escape.
This scene stunned the people around him, and some people were already eager to step forward and meddle in their own business.
Zhang Zhengkai wanted to help Shen Jie, but he knew that the other party would fiercely refuse, so he looked back at the way he came, trotted over to pick up Shen Jie's sneakers, and trotted back to hand the shoes back to her.
At this time, Shen Jie had already stood up by holding on to the wall of the alley. She seemed not to be injured. The foot in the white sock was placed on top of the foot in the shoe.
Shen Jie took her sneakers from Zhang Zhengkai's hand and hit him on the head and face without mercy.
Zhang Zhengkai protected his head and vital parts and allowed her to hit him.
Shen Jie's strength was not small, she was merciless, and she used the soles of her shoes. Soon Zhang Zhengkai couldn't bear it anymore.
This scene stunned the people around him, and some people were already eager to step forward and meddle in their own business from another angle.
Fortunately, Shen Jie stopped her hand, then squatted down and started to put on her shoes.
After putting on his shoes, he kicked Zhang Zhengkai's calf bones like a storm until the other person sat on the ground.
After the beating was over, the girl turned around and left.
Zhang Zhengkai got up with difficulty and limped after him: "I'm just going to say a few words, just a few words. After I finish speaking, I'll get out immediately, okay?"
Shen Jie covered her ears, walked quickly through the canteen at the entrance of the alley, and walked towards the main road.
"Young man, would you like another bottle of Sprite?" the proprietress of the canteen greeted enthusiastically.
"Can't you just listen to a few words from me?" Zhang Zhengkai said breathlessly: "After I finish speaking, I promise not to pester you any more."
"Say it!" Shen Jie put down her hands covering her ears and quickened her pace further: "No one is telling you!"
"I," Zhang Zhengkai quickly said what he had already typed countless times: "I give up, I won't chase you anymore, let's be friends, okay?"
Shen Jie said nothing and continued to walk forward.
"I can tell my father to cancel the marriage so that you can go home and reconcile with your father." Zhang Zhengkai spoke very fast: "I can even persuade my father to continue to cooperate with your father... "
Shen Jie did not continue to accelerate: "What are the conditions?"
"Be friends with me, just friends." Zhang Zhengkai offered.
"Being friends, what else?" Shen Jie turned into Gaoling Road.
"You take my QQ number off the blacklist, and don't block my phone calls..."
"That's not necessary, right?" Shen Jie said, "Friends can also just nod and say hello when they meet."
Zhang Zhengkai swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "You can go home and continue to fall in love with Xiao Yao. I promise that I won't pester you and affect you two. I hope you can add my contact information back, but don't It doesn’t matter, I just want you to promise me one thing.”
Zhang Zhengkai paused and Shen Jie didn't speak.
"Just say it." Shen Jie stopped at the door of the "small shop" mentioned by her grandma.
"I hope you," Zhang Zhengkai hesitated: "It's okay to cherish yourself and fall in love, but before you get married, don't be with him..."
"This has nothing to do with you, right?" Shen Jie interrupted Zhang Zhengkai.
"As long as you promise me this one thing, I will stop pestering you immediately. I can cancel the engagement, and I can reconcile you with your father without affecting your relationship with Xiao Yao." Zhang Zhengkai continued to talk about Che Luan, Emphasizing his negotiation conditions: "You can even let my dad continue to cooperate with your dad..."
Shen Jie interrupted him impatiently: "Since you said we should be ordinary friends, what should I do in this regard? I shouldn't have to be responsible to you, right?"
"I'm doing it for your own good," Zhang Zhengkai defended himself feebly: "A high school student's relationship may not lead to marriage. I don't want you to suffer, and I don't want to see you lose the purity you once had... Moreover, and …”
"And what?" Shen Jie raised her eyebrows.
"Nothing more." Zhang Zhengkai said.
And when you and Xiao Yao break up, I can continue to pursue you.
"It can't be done," Shen Jie deceived Zhang Zhengkai and said, "He and I have nothing to do with each other anymore. Just give up. Xiao Yao and I will definitely get married in the future, and even if we break up, I won't consider you. Do you understand?" ?"
"You, you, you lied to me!" Zhang Zhengkai looked so aggrieved that he was about to cry.
Shen Jie pointed to the small shop behind her: "Look what they sell here? I came out this time because I ran out of what I bought before. Do you understand?"
Zhang Zhengkai's face turned pale.
"You, how could you do this?" Zhang Zhengkai said: "You must be intentional, intentional..."
Shen Jie stopped talking to him and turned around to walk into the shop.
Zhang Zhengkai chased after him: "I really like you."
The location of this confession is really strange.
"I know," Shen Jie's tone sounded a little gentler, but Zhang Zhengkai felt that this might also be his own illusion: "Although you can't understand it, I can tell you that I am doing this for your own good."
"For my own good?" Zhang Zhengkai said.
Big tears burst out of the boy's eyes. Zhang Zhengkai couldn't bear it anymore and turned around and ran out of the store.
Shen Jie breathed a sigh of relief.
"Little girl?" the shop owner asked her, "What do you want to buy?"
Only then did Shen Jie feel embarrassed.
"I...I...do you have that..."
The girl bought what she wanted, turned around and walked to Grandma Xiao Yao's house. She didn't encounter any problems along the way.
"What's wrong with you? Did you fall?" After Shen Jie woke up Xiao Yao, the latter looked at her body and was shocked.
"It fell, but nothing will happen, don't worry." Shen Jie said as she stuffed something into Xiao Yao's mouth, then turned around to get him a glass of cold water.
"What is this?" Xiao Yao asked after swallowing the thing.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt his heartbeat began to speed up and he felt a little uncomfortable.

After about an hour or so.
Shen Jie sat on Shen Tianyun's bedside, staring blankly at the fog outside the window.
Xiao Yao turned on the TV in the room, and the baseball game was being broadcast on the screen.
The sun was high in the blue sky, and the auditorium was packed with people, full of tension and anticipation.On the baseball field, the game has reached a critical moment. The two teams have evenly scored, and now it is the watershed between victory and defeat.
In front of the pitcher's plate, a strong player swings his bat and stares sharply at the opposing pitcher.The atmosphere of the whole place froze, and time seemed to slow down extremely.
The pitcher waved the ball and a gleaming white baseball came roaring across the center of the field at high speed.The player's eyes are glued to the ball, calculating the timing of the hit with precision.
Suddenly, the player swung the bat hard, and it was a precise swing. The moment the ball and bat met, there was a huge roar.The ball quickly changed direction and flew deep into the stadium at an astonishing speed.
The audience burst into cheers and applause. The fans stood up and stared closely at the baseball flying into the distance.The outfielders were running hard, but the speed of the baseball was unmatched.
The baseball flew over the outfield wall and toward the home plate mark in the distance.At that moment, the entire stadium was filled with electric passion, because this moment would determine the outcome of the game.
Finally, the baseball hit the home plate mark hard, making a deafening bang, and at the same time, a dazzling spark burst into the air.The player began to run around the base at a fast speed, and his teammates cheered to help him return to home plate as quickly as possible.
The umpire's gesture pointed clearly toward home plate, ruling it a home run.The cheers in the audience became even more enthusiastic, and the players were lifted high by their teammates and became the heroes of the audience.
This wonderful home run in a baseball game has become an eternal memory, not only because it changed the outcome of the game, but also because it showed the strength, skill and perseverance of the athlete, which was heart-warming.
The girl took the remote control and turned off the TV.
"Are you okay?" Xiao Yao worriedly pulled the girl's shoulder: "Is it serious?"
Shen Jie shook her head: "I'm fine."
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault..." Xiao Yao said, "I should..."
"It's okay, I told you to do that." Shen Jie said, "Actually, it's okay."
Xiao Yao: "...Thank you for your hard work."
The girl gently nestled on the boy's shoulder: "Are you satisfied now?"
"I...I'm actually more worried about you." Xiao Yao said.
"I told you that I'm fine," Shen Jie raised her head, looked into Xiao Yao's eyes and said, "I just feel an inexplicable melancholy."
"I understand." Xiao Yao said, stroking Shen Jie's face.
"I...can I cry on your shoulder for a while?" Shen Jie said, "Don't laugh at me."
"Of course...of course." Xiao Yao said baptically.
Seven or eight minutes later, Shen Jie looked up from Xiao Yao's shoulder. The latter's sleeves were completely wet.
"It's a bit embarrassing. I'm being pretentious," Shen Jie said with a tearful smile: "I originally thought I didn't care so much, I thought I would be free and easy."
"How is that possible," Xiao Yao said sincerely, "Isn't there a problem if you don't care?"
"Bring me the wet wipes, over there, over there, oh, where are you looking? Forget it, I'll get it myself."
The girl took the wet wipe and wiped her eyes: "I'm fine."
"Ah! Well!" Xiao Yao said.
"Husband." Shen Jie shouted crisply.
"Ah? Yes!" Xiao Yao jumped up.
In his impression, Shen Jie rarely called him that.
When was the last time she called me that?Xiao Yao thought.
"Get dressed," Shen Jie instructed: "I want to eat grilled fish, you grill it for me."
"Bake!" Xiao Yao said, "Eat!"
"Eat, eat!" Shen Jie started repeating words again.
"Mama, eat fish!" Xiao Yao shouted.
Looking out the window at the everlasting fog, Xiao Yao believed that his relationship with Shen Jie was about to enter a new chapter.
"Wife..." Xiao Yao shouted with a sore nose.
"What's the matter?" Shen Jie said, "Ouch, why do you look like you're about to cry?"
"I don't have one," Xiao Yao said.
"Come and give me a hug." Shen Jie said.
"No," Xiao Yao said, "Where are my pants?"
"You oh you oh." Shen Jie said.
About 10 minutes later, Xiao Yao and Shen Jie sat in the "Jinsha Hotel", at the same table where they had eaten with Xiao Xiong that day (August 8).
"Oh, please don't help me, it will look like the real thing," Shen Jie protested, "I can walk by myself!"
"Is it really okay?" Xiao Yao asked a little uneasily, "Didn't you fall when you went out just now?"
While waiting for the fish to be grilled, Shen Jie told Xiao Yao about her experience of being blocked by Zhang Zhengkai.
She told Xiao Yao the whole process in detail, including the conversation between the two.
"Ah this..." Xiao Yao said.
Grilled black fish was served.
The exterior of this grilled black fish is an attractive golden color, and the skin is crispy and slightly caramel-colored, as if it is shining in the sun.The inside of the fish meat is white and delicate, revealing an attractive freshness.
A strong aroma of spices filled the surroundings, making people salivate.The grilled blackened fish is evenly coated with lemon, garlic and fresh herbs. These spices penetrate into the fish during the grilling process, releasing a charming aroma.
"Let's pray first."
Every bite of grilled black fish is a taste experience.
The outer skin of the fish is grilled to a crispy texture, with a slight caramel sweetness. When you bite into it, the juices emitted from the inside of the fish immediately burst into your mouth, filling it with the delicious taste of river fresh food.The freshness of herbs and lemons intertwine with the tangyness of garlic to create a unique flavor, while maintaining the original flavor of the fish.
This grilled black fish is both crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a rich spice flavor. Both Xiao Yao and Shen Jie ate it with gusto and relished it.
"Is it delicious?" The proprietress of Jinsha Hotel wiped her hands on her apron happily: "It's delicious, come and eat more in the future!"
"I told him later," Shen Jie said to Xiao Yao, "Although you can't understand, I can tell you that I am doing this for your own good."
"How pitiful." Xiao Yao commented.
"Who are you calling pity?" Shen Jie raised her eyebrows.
"You are pitiful, you are pitiful," Xiao Yao said quickly: "This bastard made you fall, sooner or later I will deal with him next time I meet him."
"Forget it, forget it." Shen Jie said, "Don't get yourself into it again."
At this time, Xiao Yao's cell phone vibrated on the desktop - it was a call from Yu Luying.
"Hello?" Xiao Yao said.
"Hey..." Yu Luying said in a long tone: "You don't want to call me when you want to eat grilled fish, do you?"
"Call, call, call," Xiao Yao said quickly, "We are at the Sands Hotel, come over."
"Xiao Yao." Shen Jie lowered her eyelids.
"Huh?" Xiao Yao put down the phone and said, "What's wrong?"
"If you dare to apologize to me," Shen Jie said, "I will ask Uncle Johns to sink you into the Yellow River."
"Sink." Xiao Yao said, "It must sink, sink hard."
(End of this chapter)
*This chapter is also called "The Home Run Booster"
On August 8, the day before school started, the temperature dropped a bit.
But Zhang Zhengkai still drank a bottle of very cold Sprite.
He bought the bottle of Sprite at the kiosk at the entrance of Xiao Yao's grandma's alley. It was in a glass bottle and needed a beer bottle cap opener to open it. After drinking, he had to return the bottle.
Zhang Zhengkai likes to drink drinks in glass bottles, which makes him full of energy.
He especially likes the water droplets that condense on the outside of the glass bottle like morning dew, just like the pattern on the advertisement.
The boy raised his neck and finished the bottle of Sprite in two gulps. He stopped once in the middle to release the carbon dioxide. It only took seven or eight seconds in total.
comfortable.
He wanted to hold up the empty bottle and say to the proprietress of the canteen: "It's sparkling and refreshing, Sprite."
But he won't do such trivial things.
Zhang Zhengkai slammed the empty bottle on the glass table of the canteen and let out a long burp.
The proprietress of the canteen: “Young man, would you like another bottle?”
Zhang Zhengkai turned back and walked deeper into the alley, raised his right hand and waved at the proprietress with the back of his hand, leaving only a free and unrestrained back.
Zhang Zhengkai knew in his heart that he was trapped by obsession.
The boy put the headphones on the back of his head again.
"Do you know, the feeling of missing someone is like drinking a glass of ice-cold water, and then it takes a long, long time to condense into tears one by one..."
Zhang Zhengkai walked to an intersection in the alley, turned in with familiarity, and stood under the shadow of an awning.
The alley where Xiao Yao lives has two entrances and exits.
However, no matter which entrance or exit you take, you will definitely pass by this place.
As long as he doesn't nap, he won't miss it.
Probably.
"Do you know that the feeling of forgetting someone is like appreciating a kind of cruel beauty; then in a very small voice, tell yourself to face it with strength..."
Zhang Zhengkai shook his head and listened to the sounds of Jinggang Mountain coming out of his headphones, and couldn't help but hum along softly: "Do you know~Do you know~Do you know~~~"
Then he shut his mouth suddenly.
If Shen Jie or someone else heard it, wouldn't it be a warning?
Zhang Zhengkai raised his head and looked at the second floor window with his big eyes.
The curtains were pulled open, and you could see through the clear glass window...you could see a ghost, and you could only see a statue of Jesus that was literally "sheltered".
This is the fourth time Zhang Zhengkai has come. The curtains were closed last time and open last time.
There are various signs that the two of them live here, at least there are people living here.
The boy let out a long sigh.
"Do you know, do you know, do you know what it feels like to be lonely? Loneliness is because you miss someone..."
Zhang Zhengkai took off his headphones with some irritation, and then turned off the Walkman.
Two days ago, I went to Xiahai Temple to meditate. I met a master named "Shi Hui" and gave him a few words of encouragement.
The master said that there are eight sufferings in life, which are called "birth, old age, illness, death, separation from love, long-lasting hatred, not being able to get what you want, and meeting with resentment and hatred."
I suddenly suffered from the two sufferings of "love separation" and "unavailability". I had to say that it was unspeakable.
Following what the master said, Zhang Zhengkai began to imagine what Shen Jie would look like a hundred years from now.
No matter how beautiful and charming a woman is, after a hundred years, she will be nothing more than a withered skeleton.
Zhang Zhengkai closed his eyes and deeply imagined what Shen Jie would look like a hundred years from now.On the canvas of his mind, a bleak picture appeared: it was a shriveled skeleton, with white bones clearly visible, arranged neatly like ancient teeth.The once plump face has now faded away, leaving only the remaining skin on the skull, which is pale and shriveled.
Shen Jie's long hair also faded under the ravages of time and turned into dust in the wind.The eye sockets under the skull were once bright and bright, but now they are just empty and lifeless.A hundred years of vicissitudes have deprived her of all appearance and vitality, leaving only a ruthless skeleton, which seems to silently tell the fragility and shortness of life.
Zhang Zhengkai deeply felt the fragility and impermanence of life. The master's words of "unavailability" and "love apart" were more deeply engraved in his heart at this moment.He silently prayed that Shen Jie could cherish time in this life and leave no regrets, because a hundred years from now, everything will be a thing of the past, leaving only a handful of lifeless bones.
……
But even if she turns into withered bones, she is still very cute.
Damn it, I’m really hopeless, Zhang Zhengkai thought.
To get rid of "self-grasping"...
A short girl with short hair, Shi Shiran, walked past the intersection of the alley, and Zhang Zhengkai's heart skipped a beat.
After he could see the girl's face clearly, he retracted under the awning with half disappointment and half relief.
Thinking about it, the first time (in the sense of feeling) was not very far away, as if it was just yesterday.
Zhang Zhengkai recalled the dance, it was on a... night when the lights were on.
Well, it's a high-society dance.
This can be regarded as the first encounter between the two of them. Is it an encounter?First time meeting, whatever.
At that time, I was sitting in the corner of the dance party, drinking a glass of Sprite from 82, and watching her dance alone in the middle of the dance floor.
Look at her eyes closed, like a lonely note.
In Zhang Zhengkai's imagination, he was counting her messy steps on the empty street...
A group of male and female urchins laughed and ran past Zhang Zhengkai noisily, interrupting his fantasy time.
I hate it.
One of the little girls gave him a wary and strange look, as if she was looking at a bad guy.
Brother, I am not a bad person, Zhang Zhengkai thought.
He gave the little girl a warm smile, but the guy turned around and ran away.
Tsk, really.
In short, let’s just say that the feeling of falling in love with someone for the first time, that innocent and ignorant throbbing, even if I think about it now, I can relate to it, as if I am right in front of my eyes, and I can feel that melting love. The warmth makes people smile involuntarily.
And thinking back to his, or rather her, current situation, the corners of Zhang Zhengkai's mouth drooped again.
Sadness flows like river.
A thin old man wearing glasses rode a dilapidated bicycle in front of Zhang Zhengkai. The wheels made a sound when they pressed against the upturned stone slabs.
Zhang Zhengkai couldn't figure it out or understand Shen Jie's choice.
In terms of appearance, I am much prettier than that Xiao Yao. In terms of figure... I still have a lot of potential. In terms of family background, there is not much to say. In terms of talent, knowledge and sense of humor, I am also far ahead.
To sum up, let's just say that apart from being taller and older, Xiao Yao has nothing that can compare to him.
What is his charm? What can make little Shen Jie so devoted? Not just for a romantic relationship, but for him to be willing to fall out with her father, run away from home, and live in his home.
My eyes are gone!The water in the West Lake has entered my brain!
Why West Lake?Forget it, it's not important.
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhengkai couldn't help but feel resentful towards his father and Shen Hongsheng, especially Shen Hongsheng.
Zhang Zhengkai did not expect that Shen Hongsheng would give up just like that.
Not giving up on this marriage, but giving up on... his daughter?
He knew clearly where his daughter was but didn't send anyone to look for her.
What else said, "It's going to rain and my daughter wants to get married, so let her be"?
Friends, help me, are there any fathers like you?
In fact, when he first learned that Shen Jie went to the Dongqi summer camp incognito, Zhang Zhengkai immediately made preparations to arrest him.
As a result, he was locked at home by his father.
Dad even threatened to break his legs if he went to find a girl from the Shen family again.
Since the parents of both parties had this attitude, the marriage was of course a complete failure.
Zhang Zhengkai lost his last trace of "legitimacy".
But to be fair, his father has been extremely kind to him.
How many fathers in the world would push for such a big marriage just to satisfy the childish wish of their son, a son who is a junior high school student?
Zhang Zhengkai knew that he had no reason to blame his father anymore.
The only thing to blame is Shen Jie's confusion and willfulness. After all, she is still young.
And that Xiao Yao.
Zhang Zhengkai is not a saint, he cannot suppress his hatred.
The ancients said that the hatred for killing one's father and the hatred for taking away one's wife are all like this.
The hatred of seizing his wife is a crime parallel to the crime of killing his father.
But impotent hatred solves nothing.
Two boys who looked like high school students were walking past me wearing small vests, dripping with sweat, holding basketballs under their creaky nests.
Calmly, patiently, and think carefully, how could things develop like this step by step?
At the beginning, although Shen Jie declined her confession, she was still polite, friendly and patient with herself.
Later, maybe there was something wrong with the way I pursued him, and I was a little too obsessive. The other party could feel it, and he was obviously a little impatient.
But generally speaking, he was polite to himself and never took any hostile stance.
However, since the situation has been stuck here, neither up nor down, Zhang Zhengkai changed to another track.
When I just urged my father to find a marriage alliance with the Shen family, based on the feedback from Shen Hongsheng, his daughter was not very disgusted or opposed.
In Shen Hongsheng's original words, Shen Jie is a person who "knows the general picture" and "recognizes his own identity."
Of course, it is not ruled out that Shen Hongsheng is gaining weight. (bragging, telling lies)
However, when this matter was informally put on the agenda, Shen Jie's attitude towards herself did not become worse. On the contrary, it became vaguely better.
Zhang Zhengkai was a little unsure whether this was a man's illusion, but it was certain that it had not gone bad.
When did her attitude turn 360°?
Just before the official engagement, she suddenly began to object strongly and ran away from home.
All in all, it should have happened some time after Xiao Yao appeared.
Obviously, Xiao Shen Jie fell in love with that man, so she showed an indifferent attitude towards the engagement at first, but then suddenly changed.
Wait, is this short girl who walked over actually Shen Jie?
It's a bit like it, but not quite like it. It's impossible to tell for sure when wearing a mask.
Zhang Zhengkai subconsciously took two steps after him, thinking that it shouldn't be the case.
A woman who likes to wear a mask when going out for nothing is really SX.
However, Shen Jie might also deliberately use this method to deceive others, Zhang Zhengkai reminded himself.
……
If, I mean if.
If I had not asked my father to facilitate the marriage at the beginning, but continued to show my sincerity on the regular track, would the outcome have changed?
Could it be that she accepted Xiao Yao because she hated her behavior and had a rebellious mentality?
It's also possible that nothing will change and Shen Jie will just accelerate into the arms of others.
Zhang Zhengkai had no way of knowing.
Have no idea.
There is no time machine in this world, and there is no way to go back in time and verify "If...then...".
Regret is useless, now is not the best time to do some self-examination.
In fact, Zhang Zhengkai himself didn’t want to come.
It's not that he didn't know that he was doing something stupid.
No one likes to stand in one place waiting for someone, basking in the sun for hours, watching everyone coming and going like a fool.
Isn’t it delicious when I’m at home with the air conditioner blowing, eating cold drinks and playing GBA?
But Zhang Zhengkai just couldn't help it.
He couldn't control himself.
When he was sitting at home, it was like a hundred cats were scratching and scratching in his heart.
He clearly knew where Shen Jie was, but he couldn't control it and couldn't stop his desire to see her.
It is also a kind of floodgate for libido that has nowhere to rest.
As long as you do something, even if there is no good change, even if it makes things worse, it is better than waiting at home and doing nothing.
Therefore, as long as his father is not at home, Zhang Zhengkai will sneak out and wait here for a few hours.
Wait until your libido is used up, and then go home. At least you can have an explanation with yourself.
"I tried my best." "I did something."
Use this method to soothe your soul in exchange for short-term peace and relief from anxiety.
The old monk can't help me. I'm going to see the school's psychology teacher when school starts.
Speaking of school.
School starts tomorrow, and then there will be no time or means to come here and keep an eye on him.
Today should be the last time.
If you still can't wait for her, then give up completely and give up completely.
Zhang Zhengkai's eyes were fixed on the comings and goings of people who were starting to become a bit frequent.
Wait another half hour, just half an hour, I will leave immediately, Zhang Zhengkai thought.
In his heart, he was hoping that Shen Jie would appear in the next second, and at the same time, he secretly hoped that she would not appear.
Just wait enough time and go home.
Zhang Zhengkai silently reviewed in his mind what he should say to Shen Jie if he waited for her.
Even if there is a high probability that he cannot wait, his character does not allow him to fight an unprepared battle.
"Wherever sincerity comes, gold and stone will be opened."
What "a fierce woman is afraid of stalking a man".
What "If you keep thinking about it, there will be echoes."
What kind of chivalrous and sincere waiting.
Lies, all lies!
The ancients, sincerity, deceived me!
Zhang Zhengkai glanced at the time on his phone anxiously, there were still 11 minutes left.
You will be relieved soon.
The boy realized that his anxiety was rising again and decided to listen to the Walkman again.
"Later, you wore blue clothes and took away my softest part;
So I grew up alone, enduring the wind, rain and sunshine, enduring the vast sea of people, and enduring you being far away.
Come, wear your blue clothes, and pierce my softest place;
I like growing up alone, I like wind, rain and sunshine, I like the vast sea of people, I like you in the distance..." As soon as Old Lang sang the words "I like you in the distance", Shen Jie walked past Zhang Zhengkai.
Zhang Zhengkai's target only glanced at the little girl's face for half a second, and he immediately completed the recognition.
His heart also stopped for half a second.
Damn it, I'm leaving soon...
The girl's middle hair is very messy, as if it has not been combed. She is wearing a simple short-sleeved T-shirt on her upper body, which looks a bit like a man's T-shirt and is a lot bigger. Her lower body is wearing a pair of black trousers with trouser leg covers. On the upper of a white sneaker.
"Shen Jie." Zhang Zhengkai called.
He heard his voice sound a little bitter and hoarse.
The girl trembled all over and did not look back.
"Can I talk to you?" Zhang Zhengkai said politely, with a bit of humility in his tone.
The girl ran away almost subconsciously.
Zhang Zhengkai had no choice but to chase after him subconsciously.
The young man was chasing after her in the alley. He was feeling nervous and anxious. He hoped to have a good talk with Shen Jie and explain his feelings.He kept calling her name, with a hint of humility and longing in his voice.
Shen Jie ran very fast, but while she was running wildly, the soles of her feet suddenly slipped for some reason, causing her to stagger and slow down.
People in the alley were attracted by this sudden scene and stopped to watch.
Zhang Zhengkai tried to calm down his emotions while chasing after him. He didn't want Shen Jie to get hurt because of him.
However, it is counterproductive.
Just as Shen Jie was running, she stepped on a loose stone and fell to the ground.
Zhang Zhengkai quickly rushed to her side and asked with concern whether she was injured.
Shen Jie sat up tiredly. One of her shoes had fallen off at some point, revealing her white socks, but she was still struggling desperately with shortness of breath, as if she wanted to continue to escape.
This scene stunned the people around him, and some people were already eager to step forward and meddle in their own business.
Zhang Zhengkai wanted to help Shen Jie, but he knew that the other party would fiercely refuse, so he looked back at the way he came, trotted over to pick up Shen Jie's sneakers, and trotted back to hand the shoes back to her.
At this time, Shen Jie had already stood up by holding on to the wall of the alley. She seemed not to be injured. The foot in the white sock was placed on top of the foot in the shoe.
Shen Jie took her sneakers from Zhang Zhengkai's hand and hit him on the head and face without mercy.
Zhang Zhengkai protected his head and vital parts and allowed her to hit him.
Shen Jie's strength was not small, she was merciless, and she used the soles of her shoes. Soon Zhang Zhengkai couldn't bear it anymore.
This scene stunned the people around him, and some people were already eager to step forward and meddle in their own business from another angle.
Fortunately, Shen Jie stopped her hand, then squatted down and started to put on her shoes.
After putting on his shoes, he kicked Zhang Zhengkai's calf bones like a storm until the other person sat on the ground.
After the beating was over, the girl turned around and left.
Zhang Zhengkai got up with difficulty and limped after him: "I'm just going to say a few words, just a few words. After I finish speaking, I'll get out immediately, okay?"
Shen Jie covered her ears, walked quickly through the canteen at the entrance of the alley, and walked towards the main road.
"Young man, would you like another bottle of Sprite?" the proprietress of the canteen greeted enthusiastically.
"Can't you just listen to a few words from me?" Zhang Zhengkai said breathlessly: "After I finish speaking, I promise not to pester you any more."
"Say it!" Shen Jie put down her hands covering her ears and quickened her pace further: "No one is telling you!"
"I," Zhang Zhengkai quickly said what he had already typed countless times: "I give up, I won't chase you anymore, let's be friends, okay?"
Shen Jie said nothing and continued to walk forward.
"I can tell my father to cancel the marriage so that you can go home and reconcile with your father." Zhang Zhengkai spoke very fast: "I can even persuade my father to continue to cooperate with your father... "
Shen Jie did not continue to accelerate: "What are the conditions?"
"Be friends with me, just friends." Zhang Zhengkai offered.
"Being friends, what else?" Shen Jie turned into Gaoling Road.
"You take my QQ number off the blacklist, and don't block my phone calls..."
"That's not necessary, right?" Shen Jie said, "Friends can also just nod and say hello when they meet."
Zhang Zhengkai swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "You can go home and continue to fall in love with Xiao Yao. I promise that I won't pester you and affect you two. I hope you can add my contact information back, but don't It doesn’t matter, I just want you to promise me one thing.”
Zhang Zhengkai paused and Shen Jie didn't speak.
"Just say it." Shen Jie stopped at the door of the "small shop" mentioned by her grandma.
"I hope you," Zhang Zhengkai hesitated: "It's okay to cherish yourself and fall in love, but before you get married, don't be with him..."
"This has nothing to do with you, right?" Shen Jie interrupted Zhang Zhengkai.
"As long as you promise me this one thing, I will stop pestering you immediately. I can cancel the engagement, and I can reconcile you with your father without affecting your relationship with Xiao Yao." Zhang Zhengkai continued to talk about Che Luan, Emphasizing his negotiation conditions: "You can even let my dad continue to cooperate with your dad..."
Shen Jie interrupted him impatiently: "Since you said we should be ordinary friends, what should I do in this regard? I shouldn't have to be responsible to you, right?"
"I'm doing it for your own good," Zhang Zhengkai defended himself feebly: "A high school student's relationship may not lead to marriage. I don't want you to suffer, and I don't want to see you lose the purity you once had... Moreover, and …”
"And what?" Shen Jie raised her eyebrows.
"Nothing more." Zhang Zhengkai said.
And when you and Xiao Yao break up, I can continue to pursue you.
"It can't be done," Shen Jie deceived Zhang Zhengkai and said, "He and I have nothing to do with each other anymore. Just give up. Xiao Yao and I will definitely get married in the future, and even if we break up, I won't consider you. Do you understand?" ?"
"You, you, you lied to me!" Zhang Zhengkai looked so aggrieved that he was about to cry.
Shen Jie pointed to the small shop behind her: "Look what they sell here? I came out this time because I ran out of what I bought before. Do you understand?"
Zhang Zhengkai's face turned pale.
"You, how could you do this?" Zhang Zhengkai said: "You must be intentional, intentional..."
Shen Jie stopped talking to him and turned around to walk into the shop.
Zhang Zhengkai chased after him: "I really like you."
The location of this confession is really strange.
"I know," Shen Jie's tone sounded a little gentler, but Zhang Zhengkai felt that this might also be his own illusion: "Although you can't understand it, I can tell you that I am doing this for your own good."
"For my own good?" Zhang Zhengkai said.
Big tears burst out of the boy's eyes. Zhang Zhengkai couldn't bear it anymore and turned around and ran out of the store.
Shen Jie breathed a sigh of relief.
"Little girl?" the shop owner asked her, "What do you want to buy?"
Only then did Shen Jie feel embarrassed.
"I...I...do you have that..."
The girl bought what she wanted, turned around and walked to Grandma Xiao Yao's house. She didn't encounter any problems along the way.
"What's wrong with you? Did you fall?" After Shen Jie woke up Xiao Yao, the latter looked at her body and was shocked.
"It fell, but nothing will happen, don't worry." Shen Jie said as she stuffed something into Xiao Yao's mouth, then turned around to get him a glass of cold water.
"What is this?" Xiao Yao asked after swallowing the thing.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt his heartbeat began to speed up and he felt a little uncomfortable.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………
After about an hour or so.
Shen Jie sat on Shen Tianyun's bedside, staring blankly at the fog outside the window.
Xiao Yao turned on the TV in the room, and the baseball game was being broadcast on the screen.
The sun was high in the blue sky, and the auditorium was packed with people, full of tension and anticipation.On the baseball field, the game has reached a critical moment. The two teams have evenly scored, and now it is the watershed between victory and defeat.
In front of the pitcher's plate, a strong player swings his bat and stares sharply at the opposing pitcher.The atmosphere of the whole place froze, and time seemed to slow down extremely.
The pitcher waved the ball and a gleaming white baseball came roaring across the center of the field at high speed.The player's eyes are glued to the ball, calculating the timing of the hit with precision.
Suddenly, the player swung the bat hard, and it was a precise swing. The moment the ball and bat met, there was a huge roar.The ball quickly changed direction and flew deep into the stadium at an astonishing speed.
The audience burst into cheers and applause. The fans stood up and stared closely at the baseball flying into the distance.The outfielders were running hard, but the speed of the baseball was unmatched.
The baseball flew over the outfield wall and toward the home plate mark in the distance.At that moment, the entire stadium was filled with electric passion, because this moment would determine the outcome of the game.
Finally, the baseball hit the home plate mark hard, making a deafening bang, and at the same time, a dazzling spark burst into the air.The player began to run around the base at a fast speed, and his teammates cheered to help him return to home plate as quickly as possible.
The umpire's gesture pointed clearly toward home plate, ruling it a home run.The cheers in the audience became even more enthusiastic, and the players were lifted high by their teammates and became the heroes of the audience.
This wonderful home run in a baseball game has become an eternal memory, not only because it changed the outcome of the game, but also because it showed the strength, skill and perseverance of the athlete, which was heart-warming.
The girl took the remote control and turned off the TV.
"Are you okay?" Xiao Yao worriedly pulled the girl's shoulder: "Is it serious?"
Shen Jie shook her head: "I'm fine."
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault..." Xiao Yao said, "I should..."
"It's okay, I told you to do that." Shen Jie said, "Actually, it's okay."
Xiao Yao: "...Thank you for your hard work."
The girl gently nestled on the boy's shoulder: "Are you satisfied now?"
"I...I'm actually more worried about you." Xiao Yao said.
"I told you that I'm fine," Shen Jie raised her head, looked into Xiao Yao's eyes and said, "I just feel an inexplicable melancholy."
"I understand." Xiao Yao said, stroking Shen Jie's face.
"I...can I cry on your shoulder for a while?" Shen Jie said, "Don't laugh at me."
"Of course...of course." Xiao Yao said baptically.
Seven or eight minutes later, Shen Jie looked up from Xiao Yao's shoulder. The latter's sleeves were completely wet.
"It's a bit embarrassing. I'm being pretentious," Shen Jie said with a tearful smile: "I originally thought I didn't care so much, I thought I would be free and easy."
"How is that possible," Xiao Yao said sincerely, "Isn't there a problem if you don't care?"
"Bring me the wet wipes, over there, over there, oh, where are you looking? Forget it, I'll get it myself."
The girl took the wet wipe and wiped her eyes: "I'm fine."
"Ah! Well!" Xiao Yao said.
"Husband." Shen Jie shouted crisply.
"Ah? Yes!" Xiao Yao jumped up.
In his impression, Shen Jie rarely called him that.
When was the last time she called me that?Xiao Yao thought.
"Get dressed," Shen Jie instructed: "I want to eat grilled fish, you grill it for me."
"Bake!" Xiao Yao said, "Eat!"
"Eat, eat!" Shen Jie started repeating words again.
"Mama, eat fish!" Xiao Yao shouted.
Looking out the window at the everlasting fog, Xiao Yao believed that his relationship with Shen Jie was about to enter a new chapter.
"Wife..." Xiao Yao shouted with a sore nose.
"What's the matter?" Shen Jie said, "Ouch, why do you look like you're about to cry?"
"I don't have one," Xiao Yao said.
"Come and give me a hug." Shen Jie said.
"No," Xiao Yao said, "Where are my pants?"
"You oh you oh." Shen Jie said.
About 10 minutes later, Xiao Yao and Shen Jie sat in the "Jinsha Hotel", at the same table where they had eaten with Xiao Xiong that day (August 8).
"Oh, please don't help me, it will look like the real thing," Shen Jie protested, "I can walk by myself!"
"Is it really okay?" Xiao Yao asked a little uneasily, "Didn't you fall when you went out just now?"
While waiting for the fish to be grilled, Shen Jie told Xiao Yao about her experience of being blocked by Zhang Zhengkai.
She told Xiao Yao the whole process in detail, including the conversation between the two.
"Ah this..." Xiao Yao said.
Grilled black fish was served.
The exterior of this grilled black fish is an attractive golden color, and the skin is crispy and slightly caramel-colored, as if it is shining in the sun.The inside of the fish meat is white and delicate, revealing an attractive freshness.
A strong aroma of spices filled the surroundings, making people salivate.The grilled blackened fish is evenly coated with lemon, garlic and fresh herbs. These spices penetrate into the fish during the grilling process, releasing a charming aroma.
"Let's pray first."
Every bite of grilled black fish is a taste experience.
The outer skin of the fish is grilled to a crispy texture, with a slight caramel sweetness. When you bite into it, the juices emitted from the inside of the fish immediately burst into your mouth, filling it with the delicious taste of river fresh food.The freshness of herbs and lemons intertwine with the tangyness of garlic to create a unique flavor, while maintaining the original flavor of the fish.
This grilled black fish is both crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a rich spice flavor. Both Xiao Yao and Shen Jie ate it with gusto and relished it.
"Is it delicious?" The proprietress of Jinsha Hotel wiped her hands on her apron happily: "It's delicious, come and eat more in the future!"
"I told him later," Shen Jie said to Xiao Yao, "Although you can't understand, I can tell you that I am doing this for your own good."
"How pitiful." Xiao Yao commented.
"Who are you calling pity?" Shen Jie raised her eyebrows.
"You are pitiful, you are pitiful," Xiao Yao said quickly: "This bastard made you fall, sooner or later I will deal with him next time I meet him."
"Forget it, forget it." Shen Jie said, "Don't get yourself into it again."
At this time, Xiao Yao's cell phone vibrated on the desktop - it was a call from Yu Luying.
"Hello?" Xiao Yao said.
"Hey..." Yu Luying said in a long tone: "You don't want to call me when you want to eat grilled fish, do you?"
"Call, call, call," Xiao Yao said quickly, "We are at the Sands Hotel, come over."
"Xiao Yao." Shen Jie lowered her eyelids.
"Huh?" Xiao Yao put down the phone and said, "What's wrong?"
"If you dare to apologize to me," Shen Jie said, "I will ask Uncle Johns to sink you into the Yellow River."
"Sink." Xiao Yao said, "It must sink, sink hard."
