within Temptation

Chapter 326

Before I knew it, the night was already very deep.I walked aimlessly on the streets of the city, and I don't know how many roads I have walked and how many streets and alleys I have passed.

The cold winter night wind blows on the body, while making people shiver, it can also keep people's minds highly awake.I have been thinking about it, but the more I wake up, the more I realize that no matter what I do, it will inevitably cause harm to Fei Leina.

Not long after, the pack of cigarettes that was left in my pocket was finally exhausted by me.Throwing away the empty cigarette case that I had crumpled into a ball, I saw a small convenience store not far ahead, so I strode over to buy another pack of cigarettes.

This convenience store is indeed very small. When I entered, I saw that there was only a three-story two-sided shelf in the middle of the store except for the surrounding shelves.It seemed that there was already a customer picking something on the other side of the shelf, but my view was just blocked by the shelf, so I didn't see the customer's face.

Of course, I only came in to buy cigarettes, and I didn't want to see anyone's face at all.Walking directly to the shopkeeper's counter, she looked up at the cigarette rack behind her.I found that this convenience store is not only small, but also lacks a complete range of goods.There are no other brands of cigarettes on the cigarette rack except for the common ones on the market.

The owner of the store was a middle-aged woman in her forties. Seeing that my eyes were only fixed on the cigarette rack, she knew that I just needed cigarettes.So she asked, "Young man, what cigarettes do you want to buy?"

Since my younger sister Yingying's eyes were cured, I don't need to be as frugal as I used to be, saving every penny.Especially recently, my mother has also moved into a new house, and the quality of life has been greatly improved.In addition, my income is also enough for our family to live comfortably, and there will be no time of poverty.Therefore, when I treat myself, I am no longer as stingy as before.

Of course, this has something to do with my wife Tang Xiaoru's constant requests and reminders.Anyway, I am also the vice president of the company.Now he has a successful career and is the husband of the company president.If you still live that kind of stingy life, it is really detrimental to your dignity and status.

So after I got married, I started to smoke that kind of high-end cigarettes.Generally speaking, I like to smoke 20 yuan a pack of Yuxi cigarettes.But looking at the cigarette racks of this store now, not to mention Yuxi cigarettes, there are not even Yunnan varieties of cigarettes.I was in a difficult situation, hesitated for a while, and asked directly: "Is there Yuxi?"

The shopkeeper shook his head and said with a wry smile: "There are very few people smoking Yuxi in our area, so I have never entered. Or, can you look at other cigarettes?

Other cigarettes?I frowned and looked at the cigarette rack behind the owner again.In addition to Zhonghua cigarettes, there are several popular cigarettes that are common on the market, and two kinds of foreign cigarettes.I don't like smoking these cigarettes.Although Zhonghua Tobacco is available, the price is too expensive.I say that I have become rich, but my thinking is still in the poor stage.Smoking this kind of high-end cigarettes that cost 50 or [-] yuan, I think it is too extravagant from the bottom of my heart.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a sneer from someone behind me, and then a very familiar voice came: "Buy Zhonghua! Men should smoke less, and even better. You can afford Yuxi. Do you still care about spending an extra twenty dollars?"

Hearing this voice, my heart trembled.She turned around abruptly, and sure enough...it was her!

The woman in front of her was obviously no longer young.The thin girl back then seems to be a little fatter now, and her face has a more mature charm that girls don't have.Holding a few snacks in her hand, she looked at me and smiled.On the expression, revealing the joy of an unexpected encounter.

I immediately shouted in great surprise: "Shanshan! Why are you?"

Shi Shanshan smiled even more cheerfully, but gave me another look, walked over and put the snacks in her hand on the counter, and said to me angrily: "Shanshan is what you can call me? I'm not your girlfriend already Has it been a long time?"

I rubbed my hands a little excitedly, and said with a smile: "It's been a long time, almost four years, right? I didn't expect to meet you here."

Shi Shanshan signaled the shopkeeper to settle the accounts, and said to me with a smile, "I didn't expect that either. By the way, it's so late, why did you come here to buy cigarettes?"

I said, "I'm just wandering around at night. When I came here, I just ran out of cigarettes, so I came in to buy a pack of cigarettes. I just didn't expect that you would also buy things here, ha ha!"

Shi Shanshan didn't believe it, and said, "Wandering around? You?"

I know that Shi Shanshan understands me, and I'm not the kind of person who likes to wander around with nothing to do, but to explain it, it's not just a matter of a few sentences.So, I didn't intend to explain anything, but asked: "By the way, don't you live in the east of the city? Why do you come here to buy things?"

As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I immediately realized that I was asking too much.Shi Shanshan and I have broken up for more than four years. After such a long time, she should be married by now, right?Perhaps, she and her husband live near here, so what's so strange about going to this store to buy food?

At this time, the shopkeeper had already calculated the total price of the snacks that Shi Shanshan had bought, and said, "It's 12 yuan and fifty cents in total." Without answering my question, Shi Shanshan took out her wallet from her pocket and took out the money. One side said: "Oh, bring me another pack of Zhonghua cigarettes. How much is the total including cigarettes?"

I was stunned, and immediately realized that I hurriedly took out my own wallet, and said eagerly: "No, no, I'll do it myself. Madam boss, don't take her money!"

The shopkeeper first took out a pack of Zhonghua and put it on the counter, then looked at us with a smile and didn't speak.Shi Shanshan blushed and gave me another look, and said, "Did I tell you that this pack of cigarettes is for you? Why are you so excited?"

My hands immediately froze, and I said in embarrassment, "Huh? Didn't it...was for me?"

Shi Shanshan simply ignored me, took out a hundred-yuan bill and handed it to the shopkeeper, and at the same time quickly picked up the cigarettes and snacks on the counter.After the shop owner got the money back, she didn't even look at me, turned around and opened the shop door to go out.

Although I'm a little baffled, but it's been so hard to meet her for so many years, and I have to separate without saying a word, I always feel that it's not right.So, I didn't have time to buy any more cigarettes, so I hurriedly chased him out of the shop and shouted, "Shanshan, don't go, I still have something to tell you."

Shi Shanshan didn't go very far, and while I was talking, she had stopped and turned to look at me.I walked up to her and said sincerely, "I haven't seen you for so many years, how are you doing? If you don't mind, please talk to me, okay?"

Shi Shanshan blinked her eyes, and a smile slowly appeared on the corners of her mouth.Suddenly, she flipped her hand and held it in front of me.Holding a pack of Zhonghua Cigarettes in his palm, he smiled and said, "Here, I'll buy you a cigarette, and you can buy me coffee. That way, I'll feel fair!"
