Chapter 010: Tan Xi's Pursuit of Her Husband at Waterloo
Ah?
Qin Zhao directly exposed her: "I must be benefiting from Rong Li's influence."
This dazed expression is very different from her usual gentle and mild demeanor
On Friday morning, the sky was overcast with wind, the sky of the small town was very clear, looking up there was a vast blue, and looking down the ground was covered with maple leaves, blanketing the cobblestone streets.
She sent a total of six handkerchiefs back and forth
0317
Wednesday morning
Sir
She has come again
The girl in the mirror smiled faintly, her cheeks tinted with a light blush: "He took the initiative to speak to me today"
Yao Yao, why did you send me so many handkerchiefs
Rong Li placed the shipping QR code on the stool
Rong Li leaned against the shelf, speaking in a casual tone that conveyed little interest: "Besides running a dessert shop, do you have any side businesses?"
After she finished explaining, she left, her head down, revealing a section of her nape that was all red
Last digit
How did you respond
Xu Tanxi wore a black qipao embroidered with silk thread in flat stitch, her shoulder-length hair elegantly styled up, complemented by a pair of pearl earrings
There are two computers in the store, one is being used by Wang Xiaodan, primarily for cash register operations, and the other is placed on the outermost shelf, used for sending and receiving express deliveries
The waist is very slim, but the mind is not particularly sharp
Rong Li glanced at the game interface; he had already become a box. He took out a cigarette, bit it, and looked up at the girl who had walked away.
She possesses a graceful figure and walks lightly, devoid of any trace of the restlessness that pervades this bustling world, as if she has stepped out of an ancient painting
Rong Li had a piece of bread in his mouth while picking up goods: "0317?"
He gave her another QR code for payment
In the afternoon, Xu Tanxi also arrived
One cannot lie, for to tell one lie requires another lie to cover it up
In the small town, sending express deliveries does not require real-name registration. Rong Li took the QR code sign from the basket next to the shelf and placed it on the stool: "Scan the code to fill out the form"
Xu Tanxi did not dare to meet his gaze, lowering her head and awkwardly arranging the hair by her ears: "I sell embroidery"
Xu Tanxi wore a knee-length black coat over her apricot-colored qipao. The coat had a simple and elegant design, and she had embroidered a small white butterfly on the pocket, which was very lifelike.
Just then, Rong Li, born to die, kicked a bagged delivery to Xu Tanxi's feet. She was wearing black flat shoes, with her ankles exposed, very fair.
Rong Li glanced at the shipping information on the computer: "Ten yuan, cash or WeChat?"
He remembered the last few digits of her phone number
Wang Xiaodan : `` ... ... ''
After that, Xu Tanxi never procrastinated again; as soon as a message arrived, she would immediately go to pick up the package. However, because she never delayed at all, often without waiting even a moment, there were times when she had to go twice in one day
She fills it out very slowly
It is truly alarming that a well-behaved child like Xu Tanxi has learned to lie
What was said
Xu Tanxi scanned the code and walked to a place that did not obstruct the way to fill it out
He asked me what side job I do
It is merely for amusement, like him and Cheng Ji, individuals engaged in such activities in the shadows prefer to maintain a respectable profession, serving as a shield when necessary
Xu Tanxi has a thin skin and blushed when Qin Zhao spoke to her
Xu Tanxi was stunned
Xu Tanxi came over, holding a square paper bag in her hand, which had a small sunflower on it: "Sir." She entered, "I am sending a package."
I said to sell embroidery
If you want to see him, just go to his store and buy something
This is the first time she has lied to someone
She brushed off the floating fluff from her shoulder and entered, saying: "Sir"
Qin Zhao couldn't help but chuckle: "Young lady, every time you fill it out, it's always the same address"
In the afternoon, the rain stopped
Habits are formed subtly and imperceptibly, just as Rong Li unconsciously memorized the last few digits of Xu Tanxi's phone number, recognized her shoes, and gradually became accustomed to her calling him "Sir"
After exiting the convenience store, Xu Tanxi let out a heavy sigh of relief. Just as she returned home, Qin Zhao's call came in.
A lazy sofa that is completely out of place has been added to the convenience store. He looked up from the sofa where he was playing games and asked, "Are you here to pick up a package?"
He went to the shelf to find the package for her
Rong Li did not continue the topic: "Scan the code"
She scanned the surroundings and spotted a box of almond crisps in an inconspicuous corner of the shelf. The box was open and empty, bearing the same brand as the one she had given to Rong Guanguan, although Rong Li's box was slightly larger.
She did not send any items, arriving empty-handed, and anxiously said: "I only have one customer, she often frequents my business." Because of her lie, her face turned even redder, and her speech became more awkward, "It's a regular... a returning customer."
She did not leave, watching him pack the express delivery she needed to send, standing not far from him, she caught a whiff of the scent of almond crisp
Sent for your use
There is a faint smile at the corner of her mouth: "Yes."
Side job? What side job?
But she did not
Rong Li handed her the QR code for sending the package: "Xu Tanxi"
Xu Tanxi did not enter the house immediately, but instead put away the umbrella and stood under the eaves, waiting for the rainwater beneath her feet to dry a little before stepping inside
Rong Li was using her phone, playing a game while searching for the delivery.
If he were born in ancient times, Rong Li would indeed be worthy of the title "Mr." Before coming to Xiangyun Town, he was truly just a teacher, teaching advanced mathematics at the university level
After Xu Tanxi finished sending the express delivery and left, Wang Xiaodan remarked, "Rong Ge, this person comes a bit too often."
Xu Tanxi did not wear a qipao today; beneath her coat was a dress, the hem of which just extended beyond the outer garment. The coat was adorned with a hand-embroidered black cape, featuring a large hood, the edges of which were embroidered with flowers in the same color as the dress. She removed her hood and said, "I am here to send a package"
Alright
In fact, if she goes to collect the parcels every two days and retrieves all the items at once, that is also feasible
Today the weather has warmed up a bit, and she has changed into a qipao. The fabric is off-white, adorned with sky blue leaves embroidered on it.
Rong Li raised her eyes: "Last digit."
Five minutes have already passed
Xu Tanxi nodded
She ran to the convenience store, neglecting all decorum, her face flushed, breathing rapid and chaotic, her hair disheveled: "Sir."
Cheng had also worked as a firefighter before.
Sir
He is having breakfast, eating steamed buns filled with red bean paste. He does not chew slowly at all, eating very quickly, finishing the buns in just a few bites. The yogurt is in a bottle; after drinking it, he gently tosses it towards the trash can four meters away, and it goes in: "Sending a package?"
Rong Li: "Who has the scope?"
Gunfire erupted with a series of sharp sounds
On Saturday morning, it rained. The autumn rain in the south is fine and drizzling, not heavy, but when the autumn wind blows, it feels piercingly cold
Moreover, her store has not yet been renovated, and she has a lot of free time, which she spends entirely on online shopping, resulting in a large number of packages.
Xu Tanxi nodded
Rong Li did not look up, but recognized his shoes first. This time, he did not ask anything, threw down his phone, and got up from the lazy sofa: "Wait."
On Thursday, the temperature dropped
Sir
She forgot to receive the QR code: "Hmm?"
In this way, the frog is slowly boiled in warm water, and only Xu Tanxi could do this. Qin Zhao found it somewhat amusing, "So, with all these packages you sent, what progress have you made?"
Xu Tanxi pushed the door open and entered the bedroom, sitting down in front of the dressing table. She looked up and saw the woman in the mirror, her face like a rosy cloud, and immediately averted her gaze: "He does not accept cash." It is impossible to have a conversation when only purchasing items.
0317
Xu Tanxi scanned the code to pay: "Thank you"
Rong Li was rarely not playing games, twirling a pen in his hand, with his jacket draped over the back of the chair. Despite the cold weather, he was wearing a very thin hoodie, which was a rare white one for him. He said, "There is no delivery for you today."
Rong Li looked up, his expression was one of surprise: "Oh."
Tsk, internet-addicted youth
On Monday, Rong Li arrived at the convenience store at 9:30, and Xu Tanxi came over at 9:40
Rong Li: "I have fallen, help me."
Subsequently, she sent several more times, one after another
Xu Tanxi felt as if she were about to burst into flames: "Farewell, farewell."
