Just in June, the streets are steaming hot.
It's one o'clock in the afternoon. The sun is very bright and there are few pedestrians.
Lin Xiaonian, wearing headphones, ran excitedly through the sun in the street, flushed, and turned into the small supermarket on the corner.
Now is a special period. She has a hard time catching the chance to take a break. She can go out to the supermarket and buy a bottle of her favorite iced cola.
Lin Xiaonian is only 18 years old this year. He is a junior in high school. He will take the college entrance exam every few days. It's a rare chance to relax when you can get out for a while.
"Uh...!"
The air conditioner was on in the supermarket. As soon as she entered the door, the cold air made her squint happily.
The landlady was sitting behind the counter, watching the popular TV play, listening to the voice, she looked up, smiled like a maid watching her family, and made fun of it in a native dialect:
"Xiao Nian, how about finding another time to play today?"
Lin Xiaonian replied shyly, "Hmm", and then walked to the iced area in the innermost part of the supermarket with long legs.
The supermarket is not very big. She skipped around the rice pile and the shelves in the middle with few steps and saw the familiar Coke refrigerator.
The freezer was empty, except for a bottle of coke standing on the bottom floor. Ice drinks are always popular in such hot weather.
Lin Xiaonian is relieved.
This is not a trivial matter. It is a matter of success or failure in the college entrance examination. The power of reviewing in the afternoon is pinned on this bottle of coke!
She raised her left hand slightly, ready to go forward to get it. Unexpectedly, a young man in a cap came out from the other side of the shelf, opened the freezer, squatted down and took out the last bottle of iced coke first.
"Click~"
Heartbreaking voice.
No ice drop=unable to focus on review in the afternoon=great failure in preparing for the exam=loss of hope for the college entrance exam, so ice drop ≈ hope for the college entrance exam.
Lin Xiaonian's eyes were dazed, and the barren cerebellar melon seeds suddenly lost the meaning of entering the store, staring at the young man who had taken away her hopes for the college entrance examination.
He was wearing the common short white sleeves, and his bare arms were too white. A pair of black sweatpants is worn at the bottom, and the irrepressible horned hair rises under the cap on the head. Viewed from the side face, it is very handsome, which conforms to Lin Xiaonian's fantasy of an occasional girl.
But the young man seemed very strange. He squatted in front of the freezer, raised the coke he had just got, looked carefully at the trademark and package on the bottle, and muttered:
"Water... Mercury?"
"Mercury Coke?"
It's like seeing this brand for the first time. I don't know whether I have never seen TV ads or bought Coke before.
Her mouth curled.
The strange young man stood up with a coke, turned around and showed his face.
A salted fish face. Lin Xiaonian thought, but unexpectedly he looked familiar.
Where do you look familiar? The only people she met in her senior three were classmates, parents and teachers, but young men were obviously not included.
Lin Xiaonian thought doubtfully with his head tilted, until he watched him go to the cash register with iced cola to pay. Then he woke up and remembered the feeling of heartache, pursed his mouth, and made a slight hum from his nose.
"Yeah? Young man doesn't buy much this month?" The landlady said jokingly.
"No, no." The young man waved his hand briefly, embarrassed.
Big purchase?
Lin Xiaonian's ears trembled slightly, catching the key information keenly.
She remembered.
Isn't this the opposite house man's neighbor? On the first day of each month, I will go out to purchase the life needs of the whole month. I seldom see a few of them on weekdays. What impressed me most is the cry of the delivery boy who comes to my house on time every day
No wonder my skin is so white. I didn't go out to bask in the sun at all.
Young men seem to be very strange to everything outside. He used his mobile phone to clumsily scan the code to pay the bill, and then he couldn't wait to leave. Lin Xiaonian even saw the feeling of "relieved" from his actions.
Is this the otaku man?
She plumped her cheeks and compromisedly took a bottle of iced orange juice from other freezers. Her face was unhappy.
-------------------------------------
Fang Bai hurried out of the air-conditioned supermarket and was shaken by the temperature difference hot wind coming from the street. He spent a little time getting used to it and pulled down his cap with one hand.
"There is Coke in this world..."
He unscrewed the cap of the Coke bottle he was holding, took a sip with an experimental attitude, and then sighed:
"The unexpected taste is not bad. But that landlady seems to know me? It's really bad. Next time, change a store."
"It seems that the balance on the mobile phone is not much. Go back and try again?"
"Why don't you try to find a job?"
After closing the bottle cap, Fang Bai opens the map navigation on his mobile phone to a completely unknown strange area nearby, and continues to walk towards the world "home".
It's really strange. It's the kind of strange that can't find the road if you are not careful. So although the road is not far away, it's absolutely necessary for him to turn on the mobile phone navigation.
Since she woke up half a month ago in pain on the sofa of "Home", Fang Bai has never left the house. At most, she looks through the window of her room every day to see the moving car logo on the street outside.
This situation has continued until now when water and food are in urgent need.
In the past half month, except for eating, drinking and drinking, he has only done one thing - cracking the original six digit lock screen password on the mobile phone, and then carefully understanding the information of this new world through the network. After confirming that it is a modern normal society using Chinese, Fang Bai is relieved.
Isn't it crossing? How fresh it is? Which handsome boy from the orphanage has never experienced it? Since he came into contact with the first online novel in junior high school, he felt that he could be selected based on his own hard conditions.
Just don't be a weird and twisted world.
When thinking, the girl's clear cry came from behind:
"Wait! Please wait!"
Are you calling me?
Fang Bai stopped doubtfully and looked back. He saw a double ponytail overdue Laurie chasing behind, still holding a bottle of orange juice in her hand, clattering.
Is this the girl who just stared at the store?
Lin Xiaonian ran to his stop, stood up with his small chest, looked up at Fang Bai, opened his eyes, and showed two small tiger teeth sweetly
"Brother Fang Bai, can you change your drink?"
"I want an iced cola..."
As she spoke, she held up the orange juice.
Do you know me?
Fang Bai is a little confused. No matter in which world, he is not very good at communicating with strangers.
Lin Xiaonian looked at his unexpected eyes, not surprised, and explained:
"I live right across the street from you. Every time the delivery boy comes, he will call your name, always loudly. So although you don't go out very often, I still know you."
Was it a neighbor? He thought it was the daughter of the proprietress or something.
The Coke I just got in the supermarket is really the last bottle. It doesn't seem to matter if I change my taste with others. Anyway, I have already tasted it. The girl looks cute and has no head. I don't think she has actually had a drink, do you?
Fang Bai nodded hesitantly and said a word briefly:
"Good."
Lin Xiaonian happily handed over the orange juice, and at the same time took the iced cola from Fang Bai, who was in her heart, immediately opened the bottle cap, took a big sip, and made a pleasant "purr purr" sound.
I didn't find it.
Fang Bai looked at her as if she were looking at an afternoon cat.
Lin Xiaonianwei opened his mouth to breathe and spit out the carbon dioxide in the cola. He happily invited:
"Fang Bai, shall we go home together?"
She thinks that the white Fang is pretty good. He is good-looking, but he doesn't talk much. He is still an otaku.
"Hmm."
Fang Bai silently turned off the mobile phone navigation and quietly agreed to the familiar girl.
It is also troublesome to keep an eye on the route planning of mobile navigation. It is better to follow the neighbors back.
He thought indifferently.
They walked side by side, and while walking, he looked for topics to ask:
"What's your name?"
"Lin Xiaonian. Small in size, small in thought!"
"How long have we been neighbors?"
"For three years... I remember you moved here when I was a freshman. Now I have to take the college entrance exam!"
Lin Xiaonian took another mouthful of ice, and even when it comes to the college entrance examination, which is the most cruel to students, the answer is full of vitality. She took out an MP3 player from her pocket and habitually tried to listen to the music with matching earphones as usual, but her movements slowed down.
It's not polite to hear Fang Bai, is it?
Suddenly, she had an idea. She took the earphone and held it out to Fang Bai while leaving it for herself. It was just time for Amway to pick up her favorite singer's new single "Leave the Voice".
Fang Bai did not refuse. He took over half of the earphones and put them on. He also wanted to listen to the world's pop music.
To be ashamed, most of the songs that are popular in the world have to be paid for, and there is no piracy at all. For half a month, he was too poor to buy a song, so he had to choose a few songs from the previous library of purchased songs.
The prelude to "Liu Sheng" is bleak and gloomy. It is hard to believe that it is a song loved by soft and cute girls like Lin Xiaonian.
"The rise and fall of time make the Milky Way magnificent
I was alone waiting for a mottled song
People come and go, tides rise and fall
Is it time to take out a knife to break love
……”
No, this is it?
Does Laurie really love Uncle?
The music is OK, and the singing is really... Not that he is not bad at rap, but Fang Bai has the feeling of listening to Wang Feng singing the legend of Phoenix, which is awkward.
However, out of respect for others' good intentions, he endured to hear the song and gave a "not bad" comment.
Lin Xiaonian was disappointed that he was not very interested at first sight.
The road is not far away. Just after listening to a song, they arrived at the downstairs of the community. Lin Xiaonian led him upstairs to the door of their house.
She stood in the middle aisle between the doors on both sides and strongly recommended Fang Bai to go to station b to watch the mv of Liusheng. Only when she received a positive reply from Fang Bai did she take out the key and open the door to go home with satisfaction.
It seems that I will feel good after watching the mv.
Fang Bai thought.
Listening to music is very ear related. Like it is like it, don't like it is not like it. Why do some people always think they can listen to it several times before they like it?
However, after he returned home, he still lay on the sofa, found the pink app in his mobile phone that he had never paid much attention to, and clicked to open it.
People have faith, which is Fang Bai's rare advantage.
The small TV icon lights up, and the loading page is running
The app interface is opened, and a series of red dots appear in the upper right corner.
The old mobile phone suddenly stuck.
