Love You Secretly [MTL]

Ch 3

Since Taoxi grew up, it was the first time that she was in such distress.

The air-conditioning in the convenience store was obviously very good, but she felt that her cheeks were as hot as a baked sweet potato just out of the pan.

Probably blushed to the point of explosion.

In this case, Taoxi didn't want to worry about whether to greet that man anymore, the most important thing for her now was to get out of this gap first.

Taoxi moved her body, at this moment, she found a more embarrassing thing, as if the clothes behind her were hooked on the wooden shelf, she just squeezed out a little, and she obviously felt that the clothes on her body were beginning to constrict. She got tighter.

"..."

Taoxi wanted to cry but had no tears.

Shang Huaiqing walked towards Taoxi.

He had already seen her embarrassment, and also saw the difficulty that her clothes were hooked, so he approached her without saying anything.

"You stick it to the wall a little bit, and I'll help you pull out the clothes." As soon as he walked to Taoxi's side, Shang Huaiqing said directly without saying anything else.

Tao Xi pressed it against the wall with a muffled voice.

Although she was so embarrassed that her mind went blank, Tao Xi could still feel the gentleness between the man's fingers, and the gentlemanly and even careful help to pull out the hooked clothes for her.

Do not touch her.

Don't let her back be too exposed.

"Okay, try to come out."

Hearing the man's voice, Tao Xi slowly squeezed out from the gap, this time it went smoothly.

She was still holding the sandwich she had picked earlier, and when she turned around, she didn't dare to raise her head, she just kept her little head depressed, and said in a low voice, "Thank you." "You're welcome.

" Looking at Tao Xi who was opposite, seeing her flushed face, he continued, "I won't bother you anymore, I'm going to buy a drink." After finishing speaking, before

Tao Xi could reply, Shang Huaiqing took two or three steps to the side , facing the wooden shelf for drinks.

The words did not embarrass Taoxi anymore, and even the staring eyes did not make her feel uncomfortable in the slightest.

Turning around, he just stood there and picked up the drink as if no one else was there.

He didn't look at Taoxi again.

Holding the sandwich, Tao Xi took two quick steps, brushed past him, and hurried towards the checkout counter.

Shang Huaiqing was still standing there, he took a bottle of drink casually, wanted to check the production date, but his mind was not on that bottle of drink at all.

Instead, he kept listening to the movement behind him.

Seeing Tao Xi's figure passing by in a hurry from the corner of his eyes, he tilted his head slightly and looked to the side, just in time to see Tao Xi's figure disappear at the turn of the wooden shelf.

The corners of Shang Huaiqing's lips curled up into a faint smile, and Taoxi's shy and embarrassed look just now appeared in his mind. He guessed that she wanted to avoid him, and that's why she wanted to escape from that gap in such embarrassment.

But accidentally half of them got stuck there.

Thinking of this, the faint smile on Shang Huaiqing's lips became more intense, and the whole person exuded a sense of joy from the bottom of his heart.

It seems that every time I meet Taoxi, something interesting will happen.

But seeing her this time, Shang Huaiqing still felt that her eyes were breathtakingly beautiful. When she slowly raised her eyes, the dark eyes seemed to hide a dark arctic blue light, and the shimmering ripples carried a mysterious and unpredictable pure.

But the shape of the eyelids is very charming, like a vixen who can seduce people's souls with just one look.

She should be favored without fear, even without fear.

But every time I saw her, I was always trembling like a frightened bird, with a feeling of desolation that I still feel pity for.

At some point, the convenience store started to get more crowded. When Tao Xi went to check out with a sandwich, there were already five or six people lined up at the cash register.

Seeing that there were a lot of people, she took two or three packs of snacks that she often ate from the nearby snack rack. After finishing, she walked over and stood at the end of the checkout line.

The people in front started to move around, leaving almost two seats open, Tao Xi hurriedly stepped forward and continued to line up.

There were already three or four people lining up behind her.

Shang Huaiqing, who had finished buying drinks, was in line behind Taoxi, perhaps because she was afraid that she would still feel embarrassed seeing him, so he took the initiative to make way for the people in the queue behind, walked to one side of the snack rack, and casually looked at the look.

But he paid attention to the movement on Taoxi's side.

Two or three minutes later, it was Taoxi's turn to pay the bill.

She put the sandwich on the checkout counter, took out her phone, and just unlocked it, only to realize that the phone turned off automatically at some point.

Tao Xi's heart sank suddenly.

It wasn't a big deal, but she suddenly panicked, afraid that the cashier would dislike her for being slow, and even more afraid that the people waiting in line behind would be anxious.

When restarting the phone to operate the phone, Taoxi could clearly feel that her fingertips were shaking from nervousness.

"Excuse me, are there only these things?" The cashier has already scanned the codes of Tao Xi's purchases.

"Yes." Taoxi raised her eyes, exchanged glances with the cashier, she continued in a low voice, "Please wait for me, the phone has automatically turned off." "Okay." The cashier said politely

.

Tao Xi was holding the phone, she stood there pretending to be calm, but her cheeks started to get hot, and she always felt that everyone was staring at her.

This made her feel even more uncomfortable.

After the mobile phone was turned on, the signal reception was a bit slow, and the network could not be connected for a long time. The waiting process was long and tormented.

Her whole body became more and more sensitive, and she seemed to vaguely hear the impatient sighs of the people in line behind.

Tao Xi bit her lower lip, tried her best to overcome those sinking emotions, and tried to calm herself down.

But the trembling of the fingertips seemed to be getting more and more uncontrollable.

What made her even more embarrassed was that the battery of the mobile phone indicated that the power was getting less and less, and it was close to shutting down.

A feeling of panic overwhelmed her, Tao Xi felt that she was about to lose her breath and almost passed out.

At this moment, a familiar man's cool voice suddenly sounded in Taoxi's ear.

It was as if a god descended to solve her predicament.

"Let me help my friend check out." Shang Huaiqing handed the mobile phone payment code to the cashier, and then said, "Another bag, please.

" After a long time, without asking any more questions, I directly scanned Shang Huaiqing's QR code.

After scanning the code, the cashier pulled out a plastic bag from under the counter and handed it over.

Shang Huaiqing took it, and silently put the things Taoxi had bought into it one by one.

Then handed it to her: "Okay, it's all in."

Taoxi reached out to take it, and she thanked in a low voice: "Thank you, my phone is out of battery, please wait for me here, I'll get it when I go home Power bank, I will return the money to you."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you." Shang Huaiqing agreed without saying anything.

At this juncture, he thought that Tao Xi, who was so embarrassed, would really want to go out to get some air, so he didn't make any excuses, and directly agreed to her proposal.

Sure enough, after hearing his promise, Taoxi turned around and walked out of the convenience store.

Although her footsteps looked calm, there was an indescribable anxiety hidden in her thin back.

As soon as he walked out of the convenience store and breathed the air outside, Tao Xi finally felt alive.

In fact, what happened just now is nothing, if the phone is turned off, the big deal is that the things she bought will be discarded, but she really doesn't like the feeling of being stared at by everyone and feeling alone and helpless.

Those staring eyes seemed to be palms growing out of the darkness, pushing her to the bottom of the cliff one by one, without showing any mercy.

This is not the first time she has encountered this situation.

It was the first time she was rescued like this.

Timely, clear, and carefully guarding all her emotions.

Just like before when he helped her out of the embarrassment stuck in the gap, he treated each other with tenderness.

She was already immune to those bad things, no matter how embarrassing she was, she would not shed tears in public, but the sudden good made her feel a little overwhelmed.

Tao Xi only felt her nose sore.

It seemed that there was an indescribable sadness pressing down on the bottom of my heart, neither rising nor falling, so heavy that I couldn't breathe.

In the end, I couldn't help but get red eyes.

Taoxi clenched the plastic bag in her hand tightly, scratched her knuckles with her fingers, and tried her best not to let the tears fall. She didn't want passers-by to see her crying, and she finally endured it until her knuckles turned white.

She lowered her head and walked on the sidewalk in a dull manner. After walking along the side of the road for a short distance, she entered the community where she lived.

Walking all the way home, Taoxi didn't delay any longer, she put the things in her hand on the small square table not far from the door, she took off her shoes, she didn't even have time to put on her slippers, and walked into the room barefoot.

Take out the power bank from the bag, connect it to the phone with the power supply, and start charging.

Tao Xi put the power bank under the phone, held it together with the phone like that, turned around and walked towards the door.

Putting on her shoes and taking the key, she walked out of her room and locked the door.

When walking through the corridor and walking to the elevator, Tao Xi turned on the phone again, but it may be because the battery is too low, the phone has been unable to turn on.

She thought it would be better to wait a little longer until the phone was turned on before going down, otherwise it would be a bit embarrassing to wait in front of that man.

There was an elevator coming down from upstairs to her floor, and Taoxi stood there, watching helplessly as the elevator went down to the first floor.

After waiting for about three or four minutes, her mobile phone finally turned on, and the battery on the screen showed 18%.

Looks like it should be enough.

Taoxi stretched out her hand and pressed the button of the elevator. After a while, an elevator stopped at her floor, and she walked in.

Take the elevator to the first floor.

The sky outside was getting darker, but when I walked out of the community, there were still many people walking on the road.

Tao Xi walked in the direction of the convenience store, and as soon as he reached the corner, he saw the man in the white shirt standing at the railing opposite the convenience store.

The street lamps on both sides of the street have been turned on, and the yellow light penetrates through the branches and leaves, falling thinly on the man's white shirt. In the mottled light and shadow, he leans lazily on the railing behind him, with one elbow propped there, the other Holding the phone in the palm of his hand, he lowered his brows and eyes, not knowing what he was looking at.

Under the dim light of the night, he stood there quietly like a hazy picture of an old movie, every frame had a nostalgic and retro flavor, but his slightly drooping side face was the most stunning frame.

Tao Xi slowly approached him.

Hearing footsteps coming from ahead, Shang Huaiqing slowly raised his head and looked over, just in time to meet Taoxi's gaze, he nodded slightly: "Here we come." When he spoke, he had a smile in his eyes, as if meeting Taoxi for the first time in the afternoon

. He was as gentle and kind as ever.

"Well, sorry to keep you waiting." Tao Xi approached him.

But at a safe distance.

"It's okay." Shang Huai opened Alipay on his phone.

Tao Xi, who was on the opposite side, also opened it: "How much do I need to transfer to you?" "Let

me take a look." Shang Huai opened the message in Alipay, and looked at the record of his payment just now, "A total of fifty-eight five yuan "

"Please open the payment code, I will scan the code and transfer the money to you directly."

"Okay."

Shang Huaiqing opened the payment on Alipay's homepage, clicked on the QR code to receive payment, and then he turned the phone screen to In front of Taoxi.

His gaze coolly passed over the phone, and accidentally fell on Taoxi's body. Looking at her so closely, he felt that she was very white, almost transparent and fragile.

She should still be a little nervous when facing herself, and she could feel the slight trembling of her fingertips.

Seeing her reserved appearance, Shang Huai didn't say anything else, for fear that whatever he said would make her more uncomfortable, so he just stood there quietly and gave her the short-term social dominance between the two of them.

Just let her take control.

Taoxi, who was opposite, directly scanned the QR code of Shang Huaiqing with the Alipay homepage.

The mobile phone screen instantly jumps to the transfer page.

When Taoxi entered the transfer amount, he accidentally glanced at the payee's personal information, and the real name in brackets only showed the last character.

Suddenly remembered that he heard Lu Zhaomin calling his name in the afternoon, and remembered that it was Huai Qing who called him.

Don't know his last name yet, though.

He seems to have written down his own name, including the first and last names.

While daydreaming, Taoxi has already completed the transfer.

"It's finished, take a look."

Shang Huaiqing glanced at him casually, and put away his phone without looking carefully, "Okay."

After the normal communication, Tao Xi became more and more uncomfortable after realizing it. Woke up, not knowing how to communicate next.

Then thinking of the embarrassment that she was stuck in the gap in front of this man not long ago, she became more and more embarrassed.

After thinking about it, anyway, the money has been transferred, so there is nothing to communicate with, after all, the two of them don't know each other very well.

So Tao Xi said in a low voice: "Then, goodbye."

After leaving this sentence, without waiting for the man opposite to respond, Tao Xi turned around and walked forward in a hurry.

Seeing her walking so fast, she walked a long way in a short time, Shang Huaiqing's goodbye was too late to say.

Watching Taoxi's figure disappear at the turning, Shang Huaiqing looked back, but he didn't leave, still standing there, leaning slightly on the railing behind him.

He turned on the camera mode of his phone, held it up in front of him, and took a picture of the entrance of the convenience store opposite.

After taking the picture, Shang Huaiqing lowered his eyebrows and eyes again. He held the phone with one palm, and manipulated the screen with the long fingers of the other hand.

Move the photo you just took to the newly built photobook named Wu.

There are only two photos in total including the photo of the convenience store in that profile, and the other photo was taken by Shang Huaiqing in Lu Zhaomin's clinic in the afternoon.

The composition of the photo is very simple, and there is not much white space. In the yellow light, there is only a white trash can, and on top of the trash can is a tissue with lipstick.

That was left by Taoxi.
