Watching the sea from the shore

Chapter 27 Mysterious Prize

Seeing that Ni Manhua didn't reply for a long time, Lu Guanhai's mother thought she had acquiesced. She sighed and said tactfully: "Girl, you have spent a lot of money during this period. Let me refund you some." It’s not easy for adults to make money. It’s better to study hard at this age, and our Xiaohai still has to go to college.”

I don't know who brought up the rumor. Ni Manhua felt her face start to get hot. She opened her mouth, and after a long time she said bravely: "Auntie, you misunderstood. I am indeed friends with Lu Guanhai, but I didn’t want to fall in love with him, I came here to buy things, just..."

Why?Because of that dream that sounded absurd?Even Zhan Ping didn't believe it, so how could he deceive Lu Guanhai's mother.

"My classmates and I are actually doing charity work. During this period, most of the things we bought were donated to the welfare home."

"When did you become so in love?" Jiang Lan hadn't noticed just now. Jiang Lan came over with two bags of potato chips to check out: "Buying hundreds of yuan in snacks a week is for charity, and sticking him with you after school is also for charity? "

Luo Zheli, who was in charge of the lottery over there, heard her voice. He took some time out of his busy schedule and turned around and said coldly: "Jiang Lan, don't cause trouble here. Auntie still has business to do."

Ni Manhua finally understood what was going on here, she really didn't expect Jiang Lan to hate her to this extent.

Because it was his own decision that led to the beginning of their story, as a participant, Ni Manhua has endured it once.But it's not her fault that Lu Guanhai doesn't like Jiang Lan, and there is no need for her to give in because of her again and again.

Ni Manhua turned and looked at Jiang Lan, as if looking at an unreasonable child: "I live in the same direction as Lu Guanhai's family, do I have to wait for the next one every time he gets on the bus? But you, you My family lives in Xinhuayuan, five kilometers away from here, right? Don’t you also come here very often.”

At this time, Jiang Lan and Ni Manhua were separated by 12 years of experience. When Ni Manhua said it, they were like cats whose tails were stepped on, and they didn't know how to reply.

She blushed, paused for a while, and simply broke the jar: "Yes, I like Lu Guanhai, so I will come to buy things, how about you?"

Ni Manhua didn't fall for her: "I like snacks, and this is a supermarket."

Jiang Lan couldn't stand the stimulation and sneered and said, "What are you pretending to be, Ni Manhua? If you were more upright, I might not hate you as much as I do now."

Lu Guanhai's mother looked on confusedly: "Which one of you two likes Xiaohai?"

Jiang Lan spoke quickly and took the lead: "Auntie, I like Lu Guanhai, but I didn't bother him. She was always pestering Lu Guanhai and racking her brains to attract his attention. I really can't stand it anymore. "

Ni Manhua almost laughed at Jiang Lan and planned to settle the old and new accounts together, but suddenly a more sinister voice came from behind him: "You are not disturbing Lu Guanhai, you are disturbing his mother. Why are you still living in the Qing Dynasty?" If your son can’t catch up, you should recognize your mother-in-law first? I wonder if you don’t have the face to be a real wife, so that’s why you are so aunty? But the jealous women back then knew how to suit the occasion and not to embarrass themselves outside. You can’t stand on the stage. thing."

Zhan Ping has a bad mouth and never stops swearing. Ni Manhua was heartbroken when he heard her words, fearing that Lu Guanhai's mother would have a psychological shadow.

And Jiang Lan was originally just a little girl who only knew how to chase stars and dream about it, so she had never been scolded like this.She was in a hurry and raised her hand to hit Zhan Ping, but Lai Hongtu who was standing behind Zhan Ping grabbed her hand: "Little girl, I know you are thin-skinned and it's not good to make trouble like this. Go back."

Zhan Ping let out a "poof": "She is thin-skinned? So thin-skinned that she can throw me and Manman's homework into the trash can while calling her sister? I think she is much thicker-skinned than my homework."

Jiang Lan took a lot of effort to pull her hand out of Lai Hongtu's hand. She was already crying when she spoke: "You are the ones who apologized to me first. I treat you as friends. You should have known that you were going to meet Ni Guanhai on the road to the cinema." Manhua, why didn’t anyone tell me when I confessed?”

Ni Manhua admitted that this matter was their problem, but at that time Ni Manhua really couldn't tell Jiang Lan that Lu Guanhai liked her in front of Jiang Lan. She just wanted to whitewash it, and this matter was between her and Zhan Ping. Sorry Jiang Lan.

But Zhan Ping was still stubborn: "Didn't you see that you were very confident at the time? We wanted you to try it, what if he changed his mind? Besides, we were hanging out all day long. I was not afraid of you and Manman Is there a quarrel? Manman didn't have anything to do with Lu Guanhai, so you treat us like this?"

Zhan Ping spoke very quickly and overwhelmed Zhan Ping in terms of momentum. Ni Manhua couldn't bear to see Jiang Lan.

While they were arguing, Wu Bo and Lin Xiang rushed from the Internet cafe. The last one to arrive was Lu Guanhai. He seemed to be running in a hurry. His white shirt was soaked, and the skin of his arms and hair could be faintly seen. It was also wet with sweat and turned into strands.

Lu Guanhai gasped and stood beside Ni Manhua. He glanced at her first to make sure she was okay, then frowned and looked at Jiang Lan: "What on earth do you want to do? Stop making trouble, my family still has business to do, I Mom is not in good health."

Lu Guanhai's mother asked him in a low voice: "Xiaohai, what on earth is going on?"

Lu Guanhai reached out and pushed his mother into the cash register: "Mom, don't worry about it, it's nothing serious, I can solve it myself."

Lu Guanhai helped his mother sit down. Lin Xiang looked at Jiang Lan and said kindly, "Jiang Lan, it's good that Sister Man and the others didn't report you to the teacher about the homework last time." , don’t bother anymore. How about I send you back..."

"Why are you all on her side?" Surrounded by this group of people, Jiang Lan suddenly broke down emotionally, turned around and ran out after saying this.

Wu Bo pushed Lin Xiang and motioned for him to follow him to see if anything happened.

Lin wanted to catch up and everything became quiet.

At this time, Lu Guanhai walked out of the cashier and seemed to want to say something to Ni Manhua. Lai Hongtu, who was beside him, said in a bad tone: "Let's go, Manman. We have class in a while."

Ni Manhua nodded, turned around and followed him towards the door. But when she reached the door, Lu Guanhai called her from behind: "Ni Manhua, wait a moment."

Ni Manhua stopped and glanced at Lai Hongtu hesitantly. He had no expression on his face. She looked back at Lu Guanhai: "What's wrong?"

Lu Guanhai walked out quickly and looked into her eyes: "You bought so many things during this period, let's draw a prize. It won't waste a lot of your time."

As a result of their fuss, all the people who bought things from the lottery were dispersed, and now there were no customers in front of the carousel.

Ni Manhua hesitated, but still agreed to Lu Guanhai, and slowly walked to the turntable.She kept hinting to herself in her heart that it was okay, it was just a draw, and she would leave after the draw. As long as the draw was done, everything would be over for today.

Ni Manhua looked at the words on the turntable and took a deep breath. Lu Guanhai was standing behind the turntable, but Ni Manhua didn't look at him and just gently turned the turntable with his hand.
After two laps, the wheel settled on a tiny red area with "Mystery Prize" written on it.Ni Manhua looked at the small corner and was stunned.

Lu Guanhai glanced down, then picked up a box that looked exquisitely packaged and handed it to Ni Manhua.

The third prize is half a pound of noodles, the second prize is a pound of rice, and the first prize is a barrel of oil. What this mysterious prize is is not marked on the notice board.

Lu Guanhai smiled at Ni Manhua: "Open it when you go back."

Ni Manhua nodded, and Lai Hongtu called her again. Ni Manhua hurriedly said goodbye and got into the car with the box in his arms.

After Ni Manhua left, Luo Zheli patted Lu Guanhai on the shoulder: "You came back in time, didn't you delay things?"

"No." Lu Guanhai shook his head: "I was already finished when you sent me the message."

There was no one in the supermarket at this time, and Lu Guanhai's mother walked out of it: "Xiaohai, please tell me clearly what's going on."

Lu Guanhai pursed his lips: "The one who made trouble is the girl who likes me, and the one who drew the lottery is the girl I like, but she came to the house to buy things, really just for charity."

Lu Guanhai didn't want Ni Manhua to leave a bad impression on his mother, so he could only tell a little lie and put the blame on himself.

Wu Bo didn't expect Lu Guanhai to speak so boldly, so he stood behind Lu Guanhai's mother and gave him a thumbs up.

But Lu Guanhai's mother slapped Lu Guanhai. Although the blow was not serious, her eyes were full of helplessness: "I just checked it out. In the past half month, that girl spent a total of 600 yuan in our store." One thousand and six hundred yuan, do you know what the conditions are like? Look at the car her parents drive."

Lu Guanhai grabbed his mother's hand and coaxed softly: "Okay, Mom, I don't want to do anything now, so don't think too much..."
