Chapter 326: An Unexpected Encounter

readx;

Before you know it, the night is already deep. www.biquge.info I walked aimlessly on the streets of the city, and I don't know how many miles I walked and how many streets and alleys I passed.

The cold night breeze blows on the body, which makes people shiver at the same time, but it can also make people's minds always maintain a high degree of clarity. I kept thinking about it, but the more I woke up, the more I realized that no matter what I did, I was bound to do harm to Ferena.

It didn't take long for the pack of cigarettes that I had left in my pocket to finally finish smoking. Throwing away the empty cigarette shell that had been crumpled into a ball by me, I saw what appeared to be a small convenience store not far ahead, and strode over to buy another pack of cigarettes.

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

Of course, I came in just to buy cigarettes, and I didn't even want to see anyone's face. Walked straight to the owner's counter and looked up to see the cigarette rack behind her. I found that this convenience store is not only small, but also very incomplete. On the cigarette rack, except for the common cigarettes on the market, there is no other brand.

The owner, a middle-aged woman in her forties, knew I just needed a cigarette when she saw my eyes just staring at the cigarette holder. So she asked, "Young man, what cigarettes do you want to buy?" ”

Since my sister Yingying's eye was cured, I don't need to be as frugal and save every penny as I used to. Especially recently, my mother has also moved into a new house, and the quality of life has greatly improved. In addition, my income is enough for our family to live comfortably, and there will be no more financial constraints. Therefore, I am no longer as stingy with myself as I used to be.

Of course, this is related to my wife Tang Xiaoru's constant requests and reminders. No matter what, I am also the vice president of the company. Now he has a successful career and is the husband of the company's president. If you still live that kind of door-slamming talk, it is really detrimental to your dignity and identity.

So after I got married, I started smoking those mid-to-high-end cigarettes. Generally speaking, I like to smoke Yuxi cigarettes for 20 yuan a pack. But at this moment, look at the cigarette racks in this store, not to mention Yuxi cigarettes, not even Yunnan varieties of cigarettes. I was in a dilemma, and after hesitating for a moment, I simply asked directly: "Is there a Yuxi?" ”

The shopkeeper shook his head and said with a wry smile: "There are very few people in our area who smoke Yuxi, so I have never entered it." Why don't you look at other cigarette shops?

Other cigarettes? I frowned and looked at the cigarette rack behind the shopkeeper again. In addition to Chinese cigarettes, which are several popular cigarettes commonly found on the market, as well as two foreign cigarettes. I don't like to smoke any of these cigarettes. Although Chinese cigarettes are OK, the price is too expensive. I say that I have become rich, but my mind is still in the poor stage. Smoking this kind of high-end cigarette for 40 or 50 yuan, I think it is too extravagant in my heart.

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone behind me sneering, and then a very familiar voice came: "Buy China!" Men should smoke less and smoke better. You can afford to smoke Yuxi, do you care about spending so much more than 20 yuan? ”

When I heard this voice, my heart trembled. Suddenly turned around, and sure enough...... That's her!

The woman in front of her is obviously no longer young. The emaciated girl back then seems to be a little fatter now, and her face has more of a mature charm that girls don't have. She looked at me with a few snacks in her hand and smiled slightly. On his expression, he exudes the joy of an unexpected encounter.

I was immediately pleasantly surprised and exclaimed, "Shanshan! How are you? ”

Shi Shanshan smiled even more happily, but gave me a blank look, and while walking over and putting the snacks in her hand on the counter, she said to me angrily: "Shanshan is also what you can call?" It's been a long time since I wasn't your girlfriend, right? ”

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

Shi Shanshan motioned to the shopkeeper to settle the account, and said to me with a smile: "I didn't expect it, by the way, it's so late, why did you come here to buy cigarettes?" ”

I said, "I have nothing to do at night, and I just ran out of cigarettes when I came here, so I came in and bought a pack of cigarettes." I just didn't expect that you would also buy things here, hehe! ”

Shi Shanshan was a little unconvinced, and said, "It's okay to wander 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 a matter of one sentence or two. 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 something? ”

As soon as I spoke, I immediately realized that I was asking too much. Shi Shanshan and I have been separated for more than four years, after such a long time, she should have been married by now, right? Perhaps, she and her husband live near here, so what's so strange about coming to this store to buy something to eat?

At this time, the shopkeeper had already calculated the total price of the snacks Shi Shanshan bought, and said, "It's a total of twelve yuan and five cents." Shi Shanshan didn't answer my question first, took out her wallet from her pocket, and said while taking out the money: "Oh, bring me another pack of Chinese cigarettes." How much is it plus smoke? ”

I was stunned, and immediately reacted, hurriedly went to my own wallet, and said eagerly: "No, no, no, I'll do it myself." Boss, don't take her money! ”

The shopkeeper took out a pack of Chinese and put it on the counter, then looked at us with a smile and didn't speak. Shi Shanshan blushed and glanced at me again, and said, "Did I say that this pack of cigarettes was bought for you?" Why are you so excited? ”

My hand immediately froze, and I said in embarrassment, "Huh? No...... For me? ”

Shi Shanshan simply ignored me, took out a hundred-yuan bill and handed it to the shopkeeper, while quickly picking up cigarettes and snacks on the counter. When the shopkeeper got the money back, she didn't even look at me, turned around and pushed the door open and went out.

Although I was a little inexplicable, I finally met her after so many years, and I didn't say a word and wanted to separate, and I always felt that I shouldn't be. So, I didn't have time to buy any more cigarettes, so I hurriedly chased out of the store and shouted, "Shanshan, don't go, I still have something to say to you." ”

Shi Shanshan hadn't really gone far, and she had stopped as I spoke, and turned to look at me. I walked up to her and said very sincerely: "I haven't seen you for so many years, are you doing well?" If you don't mind, talk to me, okay? ”

Shi Shanshan blinked, and the corners of her mouth slowly began to smile again. Suddenly, she flipped her hand and held it up in front of me. Holding a pack of Chinese cigarettes in his palm, he smiled and said, "Here you go, I'll invite you to smoke, and you can invite me to coffee." That way, I'll feel fair! ”
