Her Little Dimples - Chapter 22
“I want to go back to school.”
“How can you go back to school like this?”
The thank you note stared at her profile and raised her eyebrows slightly, “Or I will take you back to find–“
When the voice fell, the phone squeezed in Xu You’s hand rang again.
She lowered her eyes and glanced at the caller ID.
For a long while.
Xu You sniffed, coughed a few times, brewed a good voice, and pretended to connect casually.
She gave a low feed.
Fu Xueli’s voice was very anxious, and she hurriedly asked, “Why don’t you answer the phone all the time? Is something wrong?”
The background voice over her is very messy, and the speeches of many people are mixed.
“It’s okay.. I…” Xu You choked again after saying two words.
Thanks for taking her mobile phone to her ear, “Xu You is with me, don’t worry about it.”
“Where are you now?! Why didn’t you answer my phone just now? I’m so **** dying.”
Fu Xueli was crackling on the phone.
She just wanted to find Xu You by herself, but she was not very familiar with the location of the parking lot, so she asked for Xie Yu to pick up Xu You back. As a result, it took a long time for him to go. Xu You was nowhere to be seen, and the phone couldn’t get through, and he didn’t come back for a long time.
Then she couldn’t help but hurried to the parking lot and was going to find it by herself. As a result, she was stopped by two bodyguards as soon as she got out of the elevator door.
Fu Xueli was always anxious, and she became more irritable when she was blocked by someone. She jumped up angrily and asked loudly: “What are you doing, I’m looking for my friend, get out of here!”
The two bodyguards refused to move, and they explained politely: “I’m sorry, miss, there is something going on inside.”
“What to deal with?! My friend is still inside!”
Fu Xueli and them were circling, vaguely hearing a few faint howls in the empty parking lot.
She herself was a playful person, knowing that something was not right, she kept making thank-you and Xu You phone calls on the spot.
It took about ten minutes for Xu You to call.
“I’ll send her back to school later.” Thanks for answering in a hurry, his eyes cast aside.
Fu Xueli was furious and almost roared: “Send you paralysis, you send Xu You back, and I will accompany her back to school.”
Thanks, “My car is on the road.”
Fu Xueli asked him, “What happened?”
“Nothing happened.”
“Do you treat me stupid?”
Fu Xueli was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and said coldly: “Why is the parking lot blocked, and what is going on inside?”
Thanks to the remarks, he made up casually: “Oh, I just came out with Xu You, and there was a conflict between a group of punks, they couldn’t beat them, so I took her away, and after I ran, I was angry. But call, call my brother and ask him to bring people down to communicate with the group of people…”
Fu Xueli:…….
“Okay, that’s it.” Thanks to her, she cut off the call without waiting for her to speak.
After hanging up the phone, the car was quiet again.
Thanks for being bent with one hand and resting on the edge of the car window. With his head on the back of his hand, he lowered his eyes to play with Xu You’s phone casually.
For an unknown period of time, he suddenly asked: “Ah, you didn’t save my number?”
Xu You turned his head and silently took back his mobile phone. She looked tired and her voice was hoarse: “Thank you for today.”
After a pause, Xu You continued: “Don’t tell Sydney.”
“Ang.” He agreed.
“Don’t tell anyone,” she added.
He snorted lazily, his head tilted up slightly, his back leaning on the seat, and he looked at her up and down.
After a while, he flipped through the small drawer in the car and took a few 100 yuan from it.
“Wait for me.” He opened the door and got out of the car after he explained.
Xu You turned his head.
The door closed with a sound, and the body shook suddenly, and even her body shook.
He crossed the road, and his whole body was dirty and dusty, and there were still blood stains. Thanks for resigning to a 24-hour supermarket, without looking back, he raised the car key in his hand.
Xu You sat in the car and heard a click, and the lights came on.
The car was locked.
Almost at the same time, the mobile phone in his hand shook, Xu You picked it up, and the contact person sent a text message of ‘thank you’:
——I’m afraid you will run away.
It didn’t take long for the thank you to return, holding a t-shirt and two packs of wet tissues in his hand.
He got in the car, closed the door, and dropped a pack of tissues into Xu You’s arms.
She sat there, nothing happened until she thanked her and asked, “I want to wipe it for you myself?”
“I want to go back to school early.”
“I know.” He said.
“I want to go back to school.” She repeated it again.
The thank you words are really grind and lose your temper at all.
He lowered his head to open a pack of tissues, took one, wiped the stains on his fingers, and said, “It’s half past six, right? I will send you to the school gate on time at eight o’clock. Will it work?”
It was quiet, no one answered.
Thanks again and tentatively said: “ballballyou?”
The car was parked close to the sidewalk, and occasionally elderly people and children walking by, cast curious glances into the car.
The night wind passed through the carriage, bringing a burst of coolness.
Xu You sat there, her tears were over, but her mind was suddenly quiet. Can’t think of anything, it’s just a blank.
Dry tears fell on his cheeks, and the skin became tight.
Xu You didn’t bother to think about anything, what to argue about. She silently picked up the mint green wet tissue on her leg.
The thank-you note lay on the steering wheel, and his eyes lingered on her. After confirming that she had acquiesced, he smiled and cleared his throat, “Turn your head over, I want to change clothes.”
Xu You glanced at him quietly and turned his head to the car window.
The window on the other side rose slowly, and the noise from the outside world was isolated.
He folded his hands and lifted his shirt to the top of his head, his thin waist was exposed, his voice muffled, “Don’t turn your head secretly, take advantage of me.
“Got it.”
She returned slowly.
—
The city is extremely lively at night, with neon lights shining brightly, and traffic is constantly flowing.
They followed the crowds and wandered aimlessly at the nearby night market.
The two-yuan grocery store selling jewellery has strong rhythmic music. Seafood shops, small noodle shops, and roadside stalls set up grilled gluten and mutton skewers, and many unknown foods are mixed with scents.
Xu You was wearing a large black coat with a zipper to the bottom, completely enclosing her thin body. She quietly followed the thank you note, biting into the red bean-filled bread in her hand.
“What do you like to eat?” The short black hair of thanksgiving was placed on his head in a mess, and he put his hands in his trouser pockets, taking Xu You around freely and casually.
Xu You chewed twice, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said softly, “I’ll just eat this.”
“Is it enough for you to be full?” The thank you note lowered her head and looked at what she was holding, and said suspiciously: “My family feeds Xiao Huang more than you eat.”
“Yeah.” She replied and said nothing.
They went all the way to a small river in the night market.
There is the most lively place. There are all kinds of children gathering there to play games, there are old uncles selling sugar people, and there are also young people sitting on the grass chatting and laughing.
Thanks to his eyes, he glanced wildly, and suddenly saw a place.
He raised his eyebrows and squeezed Xu You’s wrist there.
On a piece of land, there was a black crowd in front of them, and most of them were adults and children who came to play.
“Boss, how much does it cost to play this one time?” After standing still, Xu You still held his hand and shouted with a high-powered boss who was busy inside.
The stall owner is a middle-aged man who is getting lucky. He is busy collecting money. He said without looking up, “Look at the side. It says on the sign.”
There are everything on the stalls, from rotating music boxes, ceramic jingle cats to brown bear dolls that are more than one meter tall.
A white board was standing next to it, and it was written crookedly in a bold blue water-based pen:
Ten laps for ten dollars, circle to take home.
The boss over there is still shouting for business.
Thanks, bowed his head, and said to the girl around him: “Hey, look at me, today I am going to bankrupt this boss.”
After he finished speaking confidently, no matter whether Xu You was willing or not, he pulled her over by force.
“Boss, come around ten times.” The thank-you note took out the money from his pocket and handed it over.
The boss glanced at him, handed the circle over, then looked down for money.
“Boss, how do you circle the bears in such a small circle?” The thanksgiving played with the thin travellers, a little puzzled.
The boss asked him for money, thinking that this tall and thin young man is very handsome, why is he short-sighted. He rolled his eyes and said angrily: “Who made you ring the bear.”
“Then I want it.” Naturally, he said a word of thanks, and then became a little angry, “Why do you show this if you don’t sell it?”
“Hey, you boy.”
The boss was impatient and yelled at them, pointing to a white line drawn with chalk next to him, “See if you can stand here and throw it. Throw it to the innermost mineral water bottle and you can get the bear. The first few are there. You can throw it and take it!”
The thank you words carefully estimated the distance, and then dissatisfied: “So far?”
He still wanted to fight again, Xu You couldn’t help but stretched out his hand to pull the hem of his clothes, “Hurry up, there are still people waiting.”
Wait till it is finally ready.
They were surrounded by people, everyone huddled together excitedly.
A young mother hugged the child, pointed at the thank you note, and said, “Look at the brother throwing things at the sister.”
The child was fluttering and arguing: “I want a little goldfish, I want a little goldfish, I want to throw it too.”
…
The thank-you speech was very serious, and he moved his muscles and bones while standing still.
People around him thought he was very good when he looked at him like this.
Xu You stood quietly aside.
Before throwing the first thank you note, she turned her head and asked her, “What do you like?”
Xu You looked at him like a child and couldn’t help but shook his head and said, “Hurry up.”
Then he decided without authorization, standing at the white line, bending slightly, and attentively extending his arm to throw the first circle.
Missed.
The crowd hissed.
the second.
Missed again.
The third, fourth, fifth…
Ten thank-you speeches were thrown in a row, not even the most recent one.
After the throw, he was empty-handed.
Standing in place and silently staring at Xu You. In fact, it is quite embarrassing to say, think about when a tycoon who has been so embarrassed has ever been so embarrassed.
Not convinced, he went to the boss and bought ten laps.
When he came back, Xu You looked at his eager look and sighed slightly.
She shook her head, stood beside the thank you note, took the circle in his hand, and whispered: “I’ll come.”
then.
Xu You stood there, staring at the small objects in front of him, and was quiet for a while.
She shot, thrown it away, and trapped a small gift box.
It’s another circle, trapping the goldfish bowl.
There was exclamation in the crowd.
….
On the last lap, Xu You weighed it in her hand for a while, the evening breeze was blowing slightly, she lifted her loose black hair, and the corners of the pure white skirt slapped on her calf.
The thin steel ring took off his hand and flew straight forward, drawing a perfect parabola.
With a ding sound, firmly set the innermost mineral water bottle.
The people around burst into cheers and applause broke out.
This is the real master in the folk!
The thank-you speech was completely stunned, staring blankly at what was happening in front of him.
The boss with a bad complexion took out the big bear and handed it to Xu You’s arms.
Xu You hugged it with one hand, thanked him in a low voice, and then discussed: “I don’t want other things, can Little Goldfish give me?”
Of course the boss has no objection.
Xu You nodded, walked forward, squatted down, and picked up the little goldfish.
She looked up, looked around, and saw the young mother.
Xu You walked over and handed what was in his hand to the kid, “Little Goldfish.”
—
After visiting the night market, it was almost eight o’clock.
They returned along the same route. Xu You hugged the bear in front and walked silently.
Thanks for resignation and put his hands in his pockets, and followed slowly behind.
When she got to the side of the road, the sky was getting darker, and the street lights made her shadow longer.
“Ah, you really don’t show your face.” He smiled suddenly and stepped up to catch up with her, “I didn’t see it, Xu Yo.”
Xu You said ‘um’ and she said, “Because you are so stupid.”
He hissed thanks and continued to listen to her.
“That kind of circle, the center of gravity is not evenly distributed, the front is heavier, and there is wind, you can’t throw something at it, you have to move a little to the side, and also consider the height of the throw.”
She looked at him, “You don’t usually study well in school, so you don’t know anything.”
Thanks, staring at Xu You, teasing her: “Xueba is Xueba, I admire and admire her.”
He has a hippy smile and is not serious, and Xu You is too lazy to make sense, leaving his eyes aside and walking forward.
Thanks with a smile and continued to follow her lazily.
Walked a few steps away.
Xu You stopped suddenly.
The pace of thanking him stopped, he just wanted to ask what was wrong, he watched her turn back.
She handed the big bear that she had been holding in her arms to thank you, raised her head slightly to look at him, and said seriously: “This is for you.”
The flow of people coming and going around.
Xu You raised her face, her dark, clean eyes stared at him quietly.
Deep and shallow light and shadow passed over her.
Thank you for a breath.
He blushed for the first time since he was a child.
