meow if you are happy

Chapter 102 Cold War
After the movie ended and they went out, Lin Mo took Xiao Xiu to have lunch together.After finishing their meal, the two people entered the parking lot one after another.

"Are you free next Friday? Are you at work?" Xiao Xiu suddenly asked when he walked to Lin Mo's car.

"Well, yes." Lin Mo nodded, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong? If something happens, I can ask for leave."

"Ah, no need." Xiao Xiu waved his hand and said mysteriously, "It's not a big deal. Anyway, you have to wait for me at the beer house and I will go find you."

"Okay, it's a deal." Although Lin Mo was very curious, looking at Xiao Xiu's mysterious look in front of him, he couldn't help but curl his lips, "It's still early, let's go to the amusement park to play together? "

Xiao Xiu nodded and wanted to agree, but for some reason, Chi Yan suddenly appeared in his mind.She left home early in the morning. If she doesn't go back now, will Chi Yan be worried?

Plus the phone call from the movie theater just now...

"Let's go to the amusement park another day." Xiao Xiu stood there and waved to Lin Mo, "I have to go back to work at Pond Bookstore!"

"Yeah, that's fine." Lin Mo nodded and opened the car door, "Let's go, I'll give you a ride."

Xiao Xiu didn't want to trouble Lin Mo at first, but he couldn't resist his enthusiasm and finally got into the co-pilot obediently.

The Little Pond Bookstore is much quieter than before because of Xiao Xiu's absence.Chi Yan leaned against the bookshelf holding a thermos filled with wolfberry water, looking at the door.

There were not many customers in the bookstore. Only after lunch time did a few parents come to buy learning materials.After seeing off the guests, Chi Yan sat down in the same place again, picked up a book from the bookshelf and read it.

He didn't know why, but he couldn't calm down and read a book, and he would look up at the door from time to time.

"Beep, beep, beep—" A car stopped at the door.

Chi Yan stood up and looked outside. The car... belonged to Lin Mo. Lin Mo always drove it to pick up Xiao Xiu before, so he paid attention.

The car door was opened quickly, and Xiao Xiu jumped out of the car. She took a few steps back, turned around and looked at the people in the car with a smile: "Thank you for sending me back specially."

——She looks really happy.

Chi Yan lowered his head, wanting to continue reading, but couldn't concentrate.He couldn't help raising his head again, and looked towards Xiaoxiu.

The car had turned around, Xiao Xiu changed seats and waved to the people in the car window: "Bye!"

The next second, she seemed to have thought of something, and raised her voice again and said to the people in the car: "Next Friday! Don't forget it!"

When Lin Mo smiled and made an "OK" gesture to her, Xiao Xiu turned around and returned to Pond Bookstore with a smile.

"Chi Yan, I'll answer..." Halfway through her words, Xiao Xiu remembered that the two of them were still having a cold war. She swallowed back the second half of her sentence and ran back to the counter.

Pond Bookstore returned to silence, and only the sound of Chi Yan's occasional flipping of books could be heard.

The short break was too boring, so I just picked up a comic book and started reading.The comic book seemed very interesting, and before long, Xiaoxiu was completely immersed in the world of comic books.

After Lin Mo gestured "ok" to her, Xiao Xiu turned around and returned to Pond Bookstore with a smile.

A few hours later, Chi Yan put down the book in his hand and walked out of Pond Bookstore in silence.Not long after, when I came back, I had a bag of Xiaoxiu's favorite snacks, bread, dried fish, and the takoyaki shop across the street that required a queue.

When Chi Yan came back, Xiao Xiu was already drowsy.Chi Yan put the food he bought in front of Xiao Xiu, then sat down next to her and stared at her.Looking at the sleeping girl, there was an indescribable pain in her eyes.

Xiao Xiu drowsily followed the good smell and murmured in his sleep: "I like it so much..."

Chi Yan stiffened but did not push her away.Instead, he gently stroked her hair.Only at this time did he dare to make such an intimate move.

After a long time, Xiao Xiu woke up, and Chi Yan quietly opened the distance between the two people. His intention could not be more obvious.

Xiaoxiu pouted and looked at him. The moment she opened her eyes, she thought the two of them had gone back to the past...

Just as a guest came in, Chi Yan stood up and went to help the guest find books.

After sending away the guests, Pond Bookstore fell into silence again. Apart from the sound of taking a break and eating, the only sound in the bookstore was the sound of Chi Yan turning the pages of books. Until they returned home in the evening, neither of them spoke a word again.

This situation did not last for a few days, and I began to ask for leave frequently again during short breaks.She was away from the bookstore most of the time. Chi Yan initially thought that she had gone out to help the cats around her. It wasn't until she came back later and later that Chi Yan began to feel slightly worried.

When Xiao Xiu was away, Chi Yan started to look at the watch on his wrist frequently. Whenever he didn't see her back after a few hours, he couldn't help but call.

"Xiaoxiu, where are you?"

"I'm busy. I'll be back later. What's the matter?" Xiao Xiu seemed to be really busy. After answering the phone, he couldn't say more than a few words before hanging up. "If nothing happens, hang up first."

This waits for a while, sometimes it is an hour, sometimes it is three hours, sometimes it is a whole afternoon.

Chi Yan didn't know what Xiao Xiu was busy with. He would even occasionally stand in front of the glass window and look ahead, wondering if she was looking for Lin Mo?

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Chi Yan felt filled with panic.

When Xu Zihao came to Pond Bookstore with a big bag of snacks, he saw Chi Yan standing alone in front of the glass window in a daze.

"Xiao Xiu, look what I gave you... Hey, where is Xiao Xiu?" Xu Zihao put the snacks on the counter, looked around, and finally focused on Chi Yan.

"I don't know." Chi Yan was still looking out the window.

"What are you looking at?" Xu Zihao came over and looked at the street with occasional pedestrians. He really didn't understand what was worth seeing in this street with few people.

Chi Yan looked away: "What's wrong with you?"

"No, no, no, I'm not free now. I haven't seen you for a long time." Xu Zihao leaned over with a smile, "I went to watch a movie with Mingming yesterday. After watching, she took me to her favorite restaurant. Let’s eat! Don’t tell me, it tastes really great! So, I’m going to ask you and Xiaoxiu if you want to eat together some other time?”

Normally, Chi Yan would still have the heart to chat with Xu Zihao, but it happened that he hadn't come back from a break for a long time. Chi Yan was not interested: "Congratulations."

Xu Zihao talked nonsense for a while, and then he was about to leave: "I'm leaving first. Oh, speaking of which, it's so late. Why aren't you back from the break?" Xu Zihao glanced at the time on the phone screen, "Just wait, I I’ll call you and ask where she is! By the way, I’ll help you educate her. It’s a girl who doesn’t come back so late, it’s worrying!”

After saying that, he ignored Chi Yan's obstruction and called Xiao Xiu.
