"Ah, this durian is so fragrant!" A customer stood by the fruit stand and rubbed his hands excitedly.
" Little brother, Can you open the durian for me ? Give me half of it, I can't buy the whole one, because I won't be able to eat it."
"Yes." Ji Lianhuo lowered his head and took out a clean plastic bag, and used his hands to break the cracked opening in the durian.
"I have a knife here." Seeing Ji Lianhuo's difficulty, Uncle Yu took out a knife from under his booth and handed it to Ji Lianhuo.
"This is what my son asked me to hold for self-defense." Uncle Yu stretched out his hand to tease Ji Dabao who had just woken up, "Yo, the little guy woke up."
The child's body couldn't hold on all night, and Ji Dabao fell asleep without holding on. When he opened his eyes, there was a suffocating strong durian smell, and Ji Dabao almost rolled his eyes from the smell.
Why would anyone like to eat this thing! (A sillent nod from the sideline)
"One catty is a eight yuan and for total of four catties, you have to give thirty yuan" Ji Lianhuo used the knife and split the durian. Just as the customer was about to pay, the old man bumped Ji Lianhuo with his elbow.
Ji Lianhuo was stunned, and immediately raised his head, "Sorry, I made a mistake, it's thirty two yuan."
"It just happened to be paid today." The customer didn't care, and counted the money to Ji Lianhuo, "The salary is just 800 yuan, I'm lucky this one, but it's really expensive." The customer left satisfied with the durian.
"Xiao Ji, this is not like you. I have never seen you miscalculate. What happened today?"
Ji Lianhuo lowered his head and covered the remaining half of the durian with a plastic bag. He didn't know if it was frozen or he remembered something, and his ears turned red.
"Tsk..." Uncle Yu is quite well-informed. When he saw Ji Lianhuo's appearance, and then remembered the lunch box that fell on the ground before, he understood a little bit.
"Xiao Ji, at first glance you can see that, the young master from before and we are from two different worlds." Uncle Yu sighed and continued, " Someone saw you look good before, and asked me to be a matchmaker, but when they heard that you had a child with you, and there was a gambler uncle, the family was so frightened that they packed up and ran away overnight."
"I...I can't marry ." He knew his own situation, no matter which girl asked him, he would never harm others.
"Alas." Uncle Yu sighed, just as he sighed, he lifted his head up again, and stared back.
Without saying anything, Uncle Yu knock at Ji Lianhuo's arms continuously as if he had seen a ghost. Ji Lianhuo didn't know why, so he looked up, and at a glance he saw the young master from before was quietly looking at him from on other side of the road.
The other party seemed to have just come out of Yehun bar, his suit was still trimmed, and his posture was elegant and generous. The pair of beautiful eyes under the gold-rimmed glasses were facing him, and a little bit of drunkenness could be seen on his face.
Ji Lianhuo froze in place holding the knife, staring at the man blankly, his mind was blank, and he didn't know where to put his hands or feet.
Ji Dabao was also affected by Uncle Yu's series of slaps, and felt his uncle's stiff back, poked his head out of curiosity, and saw the young man standing upright across the street at a glance.
Ji Dabao squinted his eyes, feeling that this person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he met him.
"Xiao Ji, he seems to be looking at you all the time." Uncle Yu turned his body sideways and lowered his voice.
Just being watched, Ji Lianhuo's brain went blank, somehow he subconsciously looked down at himself. The old single shirt was still patched on the elbows, the chest was dirty at some point, and the trouser legs were torn by wild dogs into cloth strips.
The cloth shoes under his feet have been washed to the point of whitish. Recently, his feet have grown more, and his toes were almost sticking out. He was also carrying a one-year-old child on his back. His hair was messy and dirty. Didn't he look...funny and ridiculous?
Ji Lianhuo almost didn't dare to look up, afraid that if he raised his eyes, he would see the undisguised smile on the other's face.
A few bicycles passed by on the street, the young man didn't pay any attention and walked straight over.
When Ji Lianhuo heard the crisp ringing of the bicycle, he raised his head subconsciously. The next moment, he felt a sudden sinking in his legs. And a pair of beautiful eyes with slight redness looked straight at him, under the lences.
"... Boss, it's not cold today... don't..acquire...."
Looking closely, the man's facial features are extremely delicate, Ji Lianhuo can't quite understand what he is talking about, he just feels that his heart is about to jump out of his chest, and the place where the two of them are touching seems to be burning, almost boiling.
Ji Lianhuo's breathing became unsteady. With a 'Kuang' sound, he dropped the knife in his hand. His mind went blank, and his eyes were full of the young man kneeling in front of him.
The man raised his head drunkenly, his eyes were soft and gleaming, he hugged the boy's leg with one hand, and touched the knife that fell from the boy's hand with the other.( What were you going to do zhaomou?🙃)
Seeing this, with his pupils trembling Uncle Yu stepped forward quickly, and stuffed the knife back under his stall.
