“Welcome!”
As I scanned the merchandise for customers one by one, my attention couldn’t help but fall on the man sitting alone by the window.
Five days ago, after confirming that Shen Wunian wasn’t in a serious condition and shouldn’t die from shock, I didn’t stay and took a ride back to Jiang City that afternoon.
He and I didn’t contact each other for a few days after that, and three days ago, I received a message from the grocery store manager asking when I could return to work. I checked the chat logs and found that Shen Wunian had actually told the store manager that my sudden absence from work was due to the death of my cousin in my hometown.
Even though this reason was a bit rude to Du Jingchuan, he was so annoying, rude is rude, and it saved me from having to look for a new part-time job.
So I went back to work at the grocery store.
And just yesterday, without any warning, Shen Wunian showed up at the store.
He didn’t talk to me or interfere with my work, he just walked into the store and bought a cup of coffee, then sat down in the window seat and just sat there quietly all night until I got off work.
As soon as I left the store, he leaned over from the side, I was too lazy to beat around the bush with him, and asked with dissatisfaction, “Are you putting a tracking device on me? I told you, didn’t I, point four, don’t keep doing illegal and criminal things”.
The originally smiling expression froze and his lips fell, looking a bit hurt, “I didn’t. I just happened to be looking for you and followed you when I saw you go out.” As if he knew what I was going to ask next, he took the first step and patched himself up, “As for why I know where you live, it’s because when you told me earlier that you shared a room with your schoolmate, I did a little …… investigation. The law doesn’t apply retroactively, I won’t in the future.”
I tried hard to watch his expression, to distinguish between what he said was true and what was false, and realized that I just couldn’t, so I just gave up.
“What do you want from me?” I walked forward.
He followed me and spat out the words without twisting them, “Missed you. I also wanted to ask you if you found an answer to what to do with me?”
The ear that was close to him obviously didn’t feel any breath, but it still heated up quickly and burned within seconds.
“No.” I hastily quickened my pace, trying to get away from the radiating circle of this wave of invisible mental attacks.
Shen Wunian didn’t catch up and push me again, but honestly followed me.
“It doesn’t matter, you can take your time and think for a long, long time.”
He followed me to the bottom of the building and watched me get on the elevator before turning away.
I thought he wouldn’t come back, at least not for the next few days, after all, sitting around for eight hours with nothing to do is not something everyone can tolerate, but I never imagined that when I got to work today, he would show up at the store on time again.
What happened? Did he steal my schedule?
“You weren’t here a while ago, I thought you quit your job.” The tall and prudent office worker in front of me picked up a bottle of fruit yogurt from the swept merchandise and placed it in front of me, successfully drawing my attention back, “Please drink.
This person I have some impression, is the side of the business building of the white-collar, before often come over at noon to buy bento to eat, the night sometimes can also meet him overtime to buy coffee to refresh.
“This …… how is this good?”
I wanted to return the yogurt to him, he lifted the bag and backed away half a step, not giving me a chance at all.
“Take it.” He flipped on his cell phone and held up the QR code of his business card, “If you want to return the favor, give me your contact information.”
He made it so obvious, I’d really be a fool if I didn’t realize he was hitting on me.
“I ……” was about to tell the other person that he couldn’t use his cell phone at work when suddenly the movement of something toppling over came from the window.
When I looked, it was Shen Wunian who had spilled his coffee.
“Sorry, I spilled the coffee, is there a mop?” He raised his hand and asked me.
“I’ll take care of it, I’ll take care of it!” I smiled apologetically at the office worker and turned to get a mop from the workroom.
When I came back out, the office worker was no longer there, I took the mop and finished mopping up the small puddle of coffee in front of Shen Wunian before straightening up to see him pressing a hand to his heart, his eyebrows slightly furrowed in a not-so-comfortable look.
“Are you okay?” I asked.
He rubbed his heart and shook his head, “I’m fine, just a little pain in my heart, probably because the wound hasn’t grown back yet.”
Hearing this, I suggested, “Then go back and rest, don’t come.”
His hand moved a beat, his eyes hung still for a moment, then he raised his eyes gently, his tone a bit accusatory: “You don’t want to see me at all?”
I blinked, very surprised: “This is not you saying heartache ……”
How in I do not want to see him?
He no longer speak, just take a pair of desperate and hurt eyes to look at me, look at me very uncomfortable, have a kind of unintentionally become a negative man Chen Shimei feeling.
Coughing lightly, I took the mop and fled to the workroom, washed for a while before pushing the door back to the shop, and at this time, Shen Wunian has already left.
He did not come back the next day.
“That handsome guy is still here.” The clerk with a name tag on her chest and her companion each asked for a cup of coffee and then waited off to the side, “It’s such a hot day, thanks to him, he can sit still.”
“I want to invite him to come to our company to blow the air conditioner, such a handsome face, just like a pendant can also improve everyone’s enthusiasm for work.”
“The first day I saw myself, I thought it was a modeling photo shoot, and when I sat down on the stairs, my legs were longer than my A blacklist.”
“But our department has a little girl to ask for contact information to refuse, said waiting for a boyfriend.”
“Oh wow, it’s really a faggot. He all looks like this, his boyfriend must be what kind of heavenly fairy ah can let him wait thirty-something degree days so many days?”
I put the lid on and pushed two lattes in front of them, “Guests, the coffee is ready.”
The two of them took the coffee and walked out the door together, still talking about the handsome guy with the long legs until they left the house.
“Zhong Ai, you can leave work first.” The store manager, who had changed into his work clothes, came out of the workroom at that time.
The store had a three-shift system, one round a week, and all this week I had been working from four in the afternoon until twelve at night. But today the store manager came in early, and it’s only half past eleven now, which means I get to leave work half an hour early.
“Hey, good.” I pulled back the line of sight that had followed me to the door and turned to enter the workroom.
I walked out of the grocery store, and somehow my mind was filled with white-collar conversations about long-legged guys. I always felt ridiculous, but I was still unsure, and as I passed the office building, I paid special attention to the front steps.
He actually saw Shen Wunian sitting there eating ice cream.
He was wearing a black shirt that almost blended with the night color, so it was easy to miss him if you weren’t paying attention.
I saw him, and he saw me, but compared to my horror, his expression was much calmer.
“What are you …… doing sitting here?” The summer heat is hard to get rid of, even at night it’s thirty degrees above zero, he doesn’t know how long he’s been sitting here, his neck is covered with a fine sweat, even the roots of his hair are soaked with humidity.
“Waiting for you to get off work.” He sat on the steps a few feet higher than me, his arm resting on his knee, the lollipop between his hands dangling downward, melting very quickly.
The white lollipop dripped down as he said, “I’m not so sure, I always feel …… like you’re going to get kidnapped as soon as you’re out of my sight.”
Okay, I’m sure he wasn’t watching me anymore.
Crying and laughing, I held out my hand to him, “Then you’d better wait in the store from now on, at least it’s cool.”
He stared at my hand for a moment, took it firmly and stood up.
I don’t know if it was dipped in the sweet water of the popsicle or sweat, his palm was sticky and hot, inviting me to have the illusion that if I held it for a moment longer, I would be stuck with him.
I quickly pulled my hand back, fished a pack of paper towels out of my backpack and handed it to him, “Wipe your sweat.
He took the paper towel from me and thanked me quietly, then threw both the wiped paper towel and half of the leftover popsicle in the trash as he walked down the stairs.
Just like before, he followed me a short distance and walked me back to my seat in silence. This time, though, as I was about to enter the building, he grabbed my wrist from behind.
“Hmm?”
The moment I turned around, he released the force, five fingers went down a little from my wrist, “I know you still need time to think things through, I’m not trying to force you to make a choice, I’m just trying to tell you that I’ll do whatever you tell me to do, I’ll be whatever you want me to be, I’ll become whatever you want me to be…”
Brushing the back of her hand, she hooked and twisted her index finger, lingering to gently pinch it and finally releasing it, “If you like the Shen Wunian in the beginning, I can become him forever. I can fulfill all your fantasies, and I will be your ‘Galatea’ until you trust me completely.”
Pygmalion fell in love with the girl he had carved, named her “Galatea” and took her as his wife. The gods were touched by his infatuation and resurrected the statue to fulfill the marriage. And now Shen Wunian says he wants to be my Galatea.
After he admitted his love for me, I realized for the first time that he was no longer the king of the world, the identity was reversed, and now the initiative is in my hands.
However, I’m really not good at holding “power”, which makes me a bit at a loss.
“Even …… doesn’t have to be like this, let’s just go with the flow”.
I am a human being, the advantages are obvious, the disadvantages are also obvious. Other people are tougher, I can still fight a little, if others are soft words, I really have no way at all. And I’m pretty sure that Shen Wunian knows this very well. Therefore, he is not like the beginning of the enthusiasm of the initiative, not like later that rough crazy, he knows I am soft, desperate to show weakness, even at the expense of putting down their dignity.
On the contrary, I can’t tell him to stop being so good.
“You can make me do anything.” Shen Wunian laughed, his voice becoming sticky, “Including using my body at will. No need to be responsible, no need to feel guilty.”
There was a roar in his mind and three words suddenly appeared – Vixen.
Pang Dai’s family had a fox, but it wasn’t hers, it was her sister’s, and it always stole chicken legs and chewed furniture. Every time it did something bad and Pang Dai wanted to hit it, it would flatten its ears, cry and hide in her sister’s arms. Peng Dai in the group sent several times that white fox video, a mouth called a “vixen”, lamenting that no wonder King Zhou was also confused by the vixen, a tail is still so, not to mention the nine tails.
I now look at Shen Wunian, actually also from his face to see a little charm of the heart of the vixen like, behind the trance also flung nine big fluffy tail.
