Xiao Shi lowered her head and carefully felt her feelings. Zhou Shaoting once told her that gratitude and love are two different things and must be distinguished. In the past, when Kang Ning was by her side, she always surrounded her with meticulous care, leaving her no space to distinguish and think. I got used to his careful care, used to his tenderness and safety, and thought this was a good future.
However, following Zhou Shaoting's unexpected situation, some of Kang Ning's shortcomings were also exposed - gloomy suspicion, preoccupation, narrow-mindedness, capriciousness These problems, which she had no way of discovering at first, are becoming more and more obvious now. Some she can understand tolerance, but some, she simply cannot stand. All of this also greatly reduced Kang Ning's image in her heart, and he was no longer the elegant, gentle, considerate and enthusiastic man he used to be.
So, now it's her turn to think carefully, whether she can accept this man, and whether there has been a chemical reaction called "love" between them.
Seeing that the girl just lowered her head without answering, Kang Ning shook her arm and asked tremblingly, "Speak, why don't you speak?"
Xiaoshi took a breath, looked up at him and said, "Give me a few days and let me think about it, okay?"
"No!" Kang Ning suddenly collapsed, his face was in pain, his eye circles were red, and his voice was choked with awkwardness, "No, Xiao Shi, don't treat me like this, I'm very sad!"
"I don't feel well when you're like this, but"
"Don't say anything, don't say anything," Kang Ning raised his palm, signaling her not to speak any more, as if afraid of hearing certain clear words. His Adam's apple rolled up and down a few times, and he said with difficulty and urgency: "Don't make a decision in a hurry, can you give me some more time? Think about it, think about the good things we have together, I will do it for you wholeheartedly." Those things you did, and I love your family too, don¡¯t you? Xiaoshi, think about it! Your current wavering is only temporary, and you will come back to me, won¡¯t you?¡± In the last words, he More like self-soothing.
Following his prompts, Xiaoshi's brain couldn't help replaying their dramatic first acquaintance, the relaxed time they had, his caring everywhere, his meticulous preparation, and the things he did for his father
She looked at Kang Ning's earnest and distorted expression, and at his eyes glistening with tears As the saying goes, a man never flicks his tears easily, and Xiaoshi couldn't bear such moist eyes. She really couldn't bear to hurt him, so she touched his arm lightly and said, "Go home first, it's getting late. I promise you, think about it, okay?"
Kang Ning shook his head, "I can't wait, I want your answer now!"
Xiaoshi bit her lip and thought over and over in her heart, if she was too aggressive now, he would definitely be hurt, right? It's better, as he himself said before, keep a distance, leave space for each other, deal with it coldly for a while, and it will naturally fade away.
So, she said sincerely: "I haven't sorted out some things myself, so I can't give you the answer for now."
Hearing such words, the eagerness in Kang Ning's eyes receded layer by layer, and filled with a coldness that was almost desperate. He took two steps back numbly, with an inexplicable chill exuding from his body, and said from a distance: "Okay, then I'll wait for your answer."
Yan Xiaoshi only goes shopping to buy clothes when she is forced to do so, and often has a clear goal.
Today, the task she set for herself was to buy a small dress. The requirements were: conservative style, simple decoration, and low-key color.
She was invited to Cheng Yiyao's birthday party, and it is said that there will be a dance that night. Drawing lessons from the last time she attended Cheng Yiyuan's welcome dinner in casual attire, she deeply felt that it was necessary to prepare a decent dress this time.
Xiaoshi doesn't usually have the opportunity to wear this kind of dress, the only dress at home was given to her by Zhou Shaoting last time. However, she felt as awkward about that dress as she did about the person who gave her the dress.
That skirt followed her, and it was considered to have no bright future. Ever since that dinner party, she had been "hidden" by her. After dry-cleaning, she has been covered with a big plastic bag, hung in the closet, squeezed together with a pile of cheap casual clothes, and lived a life of darkness, even if she is beautiful, no one appreciates it.
This time, she would rather have bloodletting and buy a new dress than touch that dress, in order to reduce all possible associations with Zhou Shaoting.
The small boutiques on Shaanxi South Road are very chic, and of course, the prices are also very chic. Xiaoshi had no choice but to keep lowering expectations while constantly increasing the budget.
She began to regret that she had chosen the wrong location. She originally thought that Han Dong's bakery was on a small street not far from here. bragging??
Now it seems that she has really put the cart before the horse. Xiao Shi entertained himself and made arrangements. When he saw Han Dong later, he must tell him: How much money did I spend to see you today
With a smile on her lips, she walked into a women's clothing store decorated all in white, which was not a small store. She knew in her heart that in such an area where every inch of land was expensive, the price of clothing in the store was often directly proportional to the area of ??the store. The reason why I had the courage to walk in was because I was attracted by the evening dresses worn by the window models.
As soon as she opened the door and entered, there was a young and beautiful shopping guide lady who stepped forward to receive her attentively. Xiao Shi felt the pressure, and just said "just go shopping".
She looked through the hang tags of several dresses as if unintentionally, and became more and more sure that she had come to the wrong place.
"Miss, what kind of dress do you want to choose? Here is a new summer dress from a Korean designer, and here is our own original brand. Well, I think this dress is very suitable for you. You have fair skin, so it must look very good. There is style"
Xiao Shi looked at the emerald green dress in her hand and smiled slightly. He was so enthusiastic, it would not be very polite if she just walked away without paying attention. So, she pretended to ask, "Do you have any discounts?"
The shopping guide lady thought she was tempted, and said more enthusiastically: "Then you are really here today! We don't offer discounts, and members only have 5% off. Today, our general manager is here. Which one do you like? Let me know." I can ask for you, if I can give you a little more discount"
Just as he was talking, two fashionable beauties walked out of the background work area. One of them was taller, wearing a gray sleeveless tube skirt, with big wavy long curly hair draped over his shoulders, talking to the woman in formal suit behind him. The latter held a small book in his hand and recorded it with a pen very seriously.
When Xiaoshi saw the tall light gray figure, he froze in place. The smoky past rushed towards her face, like a water curtain movie projected, passing through her body. It looked magnificent and beautiful, but afterward, her whole body was wet and cold.
The beauty in the gray skirt looked at this side, and noticed the stunned guest standing in front of the clothing rack, and her expression froze for a moment.
She screened the woman behind her and walked towards Xiaoshi.
Xiaoshi opened her mouth and called out her name: "Mina?"
The shopping guide standing beside her quickly explained with a smile: "That's right! This is Mr. Mi, and this row of original clothes is designed by Mr. Mi. It just so happens that she is here today. Which one do you like? You can ask Ask."
"Oh, she's my friend." Mina smiled at the shopping guide in charge, indicating that she can go to work. Then he showed a friendly smile to Xiaoshi, "Long time no see! Why, come to choose clothes?"
"You opened this store? It's amazing!" Xiao Shi admired sincerely.
Mina casually humbly said a few words, and said generously: "Do you like it? Take it and wear it."
Xiao Shi was embarrassed, so he smiled and shook his head, saying that he was just strolling around.
Mina looked around at the dresses in her store, and said with a smile, "However, to be honest, the clothes I have here are really not suitable for you. Casual clothes are more individual, and formal clothes are more cumbersome." She looked up and down Looking at Xiaoshi, "You are suitable for wearing simple clothes, so that you can bring out your temperament."
Xiaoshi listened to Mina's talk, and felt that she had changed a lot. She was much more mature than before, and she was able to take charge of her career on her own, exuding a capable and elegant charm.
She recalled a little, the same-sex friends around her seemed to be growing up. Ding Liangliang has become a mother; Xia Fang has found a job she likes and is working hard; Bai Jie is busy preparing for the wedding, dizzy and happy It seems that she is the only one who achieves nothing: work is not what she loves, her boyfriend is about to break up, Life is a mess. Even the emotional intelligence seemed to stop at the moment when he watched that person leave.
Xiao Shi felt a little bit sour, but Mina was in a good mood, saying that it was rare to see her, but she wanted to have a good chat, and asked her if she had time to drink coffee together.
Xiaoshi saw that she was so enthusiastic and he had a lot of time to spend, so he readily agreed.
The two walked across the noisy main road, turned into a relatively quiet alley, and sat down in an elegant shop.
The sun is shining, soft but not glaring, the wooden tables and chairs give people a rustic and warm feeling, and there are two blooming orchids in the glass bottle on the table. Thin white petals reflect the sun, like slightly transparent, and the round and beautiful arc is like a girl's sweet smile, nodding gently with the wind blowing in from the window. The small furnishings in the house are also very nostalgic, making people feel comfortable and peaceful for no reason.
While waiting for coffee, Xiao Shi stared at the lily of the valley on the table in a daze. The lily of the valley here is just a flower for people to watch. As everyone knows, it is also a kind of medicinal herb that can treat tuberculosis. I still remember when I was a child in my hometown, this kind of flower would bloom all over the mountains in spring. The wild lily of the valley is not as delicate as the one in the vase, but has vigorous vitality. When the summer fruits are ripe, grandma will take her up the mountain to pick lily of the valley, cut off the whole grass, remove the soil, go home to dry, and boil water for dad to drink. She was always happy and happy, but she didn't know that the tiny flowers and plants were related to her father's illness.
