For several days in a row, Qi Zhenghan passed by the Sanfeng Bridge in the south of the city. Finally, on the fifth time he passed by, he got off the bus, still using the excuse of buying snacks for his grandmother and sister.
Standing beside the clean glass counter, Qi Zhenghan saw the girl he had met that day.
"Comrade, what would you like?" Zhang Mengmeng asked with a smile, her big eyes sparkling with laughter and her attitude friendly.
The smile before him resembled one in his mind, and he was momentarily lost in thought.
Qi Zhenghan understood. The girl's smile was somewhat similar to He Tiantian's. He had no excuse to see He Tiantian, so he came here without thinking.
Before returning to China, he made up his mind to pursue He Tiantian again.
It is evident that after meeting He Tiantian, Qi Zhenghan's courage vanished. He lacked the courage to pursue her, let alone confess his feelings.
Faced with his true feelings, Qi Zhenghan felt like a coward.
Yes, a complete coward!
Now, seeing this girl who bears a resemblance to He Tiantian, he can't help but approach her, not out of love, but simply out of his inner desire.
"Wife cake, peach shortbread, hibiscus cake," Qi Zhenghan said, listing several kinds of snacks his grandmother and sister liked, as well as Western-style pastries. He bought a large bag and paid for it.
"Thank you for your patronage, and welcome to visit again next time." Zhang Mengmeng quickly packed the snacks, calculated the price, had the person pay, and after receiving the receipt, handed the bag containing the snacks to Qi Zhenghan.
Qi Zhenghan left with the snacks.
Once inside the car and with the door closed, he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he looked out the window at the girl with the bright smile.
Qi Zhenghan left about half an hour later.
After that, Qi Zhenghan would come over to buy snacks every one or two days.
If we can't finish the food at home, we bring it to the office and give it to our colleagues.
Half a month later, Zhang Mengmeng also remembered this tall, handsome man who was also very rich. Every time he bought snacks worth tens of yuan, she would receive a considerable bonus.
Whether it was just her imagination or not, Zhang Mengmeng felt that the way this man looked at her held a hint of searching and struggle. This puzzled Zhang Mengmeng and stirred a ripple in her heart.
On this day, Qi Zhenghan came to buy some snacks, but Zhang Mengmeng was not in the shop, so he turned around and left.
As soon as Qi Zhenghan's car drove away, Zhang Mengmeng came in from the back.
"Mengmeng, did that guy come again?" Qin Suyue asked with a grin. She knew that the man had taken a liking to Zhang Mengmeng.
Zhang Mengmeng asked, puzzled, "Which man?"
"It's that young man who comes to buy snacks not long after you start work every day, the one who drives a car," Qin Suyue explained. He always buys a lot of snacks and stares at Zhang Mengmeng in a somewhat ambiguous way. They're both young people, and there's that kind of feeling between them.
Upon hearing Qin Suyue's words, Zhang Mengmeng quickly explained, "I don't know which one you're talking about. We have so many customers every day!"
"Hehe, if you don't know, why are you blushing?" Qin Suyue covered her mouth and laughed. "Typical guilty conscience! Oh dear, look, that car is here again. If he buys something from me, it proves he's not interested in you. If he buys something from you, just like before, then it proves he's interested in you."
"Don't talk nonsense, Sister Suyue." Zhang Mengmeng blushed, looking somewhat unnatural.
However, because her face was a little red, her eyes were also more moist than before.
When Qi Zhenghan came in, he saw Zhang Mengmeng like this.
Under the warm light, it has an even more gentle beauty.
Recently, Zhang Mengmeng has been intentionally or unintentionally dressing herself up. She is wearing a red work uniform with her hair tied up in a bun, which she learned from Teacher He. It looks clean, neat, and pretty.
"Miss, could you please get me some snacks?" Qi Zhenghan said softly to Zhang Mengmeng.
Qin Suyue secretly glanced at Qi Zhenghan, thinking to herself that this man was most likely interested in Zhang Mengmeng.
Ah, being good-looking is really an advantage!
"Sir, what kind of snacks would you like?" Zhang Mengmeng asked, sounding a little awkward compared to before, perhaps because Qin Suyue's words had stirred up inappropriate thoughts in her mind.
"Cookies, old-fashioned bread, wife cakes, sponge cakes," Qi Zhenghan named seven or eight kinds. "Two pounds of each, wrap them up."
"Okay, please wait a moment." Zhang Mengmeng began to pack the snacks while calculating the prices.
Qi Zhenghan paid the money, glanced at the pretty Zhang Mengmeng, and then turned to leave.
After Qi Zhenghan's car left, Qin Suyue said with emotion, "Mengmeng, do you believe it now? That man must have a crush on you. From the first time he bought snacks, he made you serve him. When he saw you weren't there, he stopped buying. He probably felt uneasy not seeing you, so he came back."
"Sister Suyue, don't talk nonsense." Zhang Mengmeng also had a feeling that perhaps that person really came here intentionally.
"Haha, neither of us is married, what's there to be embarrassed about?" Qin Suyue said. "Such a good man, his family is either rich or noble. If he takes a fancy to you, you'll be a phoenix rising from the ashes."
"Sister Suyue, they didn't say whether they're married or not, how do you know?" Zhang Mengmeng asked, she was very curious and also longed for what Sister Suyue said.
Qin Suyue said with an air of experience, "I'm just guessing. Rich people wear rings on their ring fingers when they're married, right? He's not wearing one, so he's probably not married."
Hearing Qin Suyue's words, Zhang Mengmeng felt they were unreliable.
She came from an ordinary family and was considered pretty. Even if he wasn't married, she wasn't good enough for him.
Seeing Zhang Mengmeng with her head down, Qin Suyue asked, "What's wrong? Are you angry?"
“I wasn’t angry. I just said I thought it was impossible. Instead of overthinking, I should focus on my work and earn more money,” Zhang Mengmeng said, shaking off the jumbled thoughts in her mind and just wanting to work diligently.
After graduating from university, I can get a decent job, find someone of equal social standing to marry, have children, and live out my life.
"Don't be discouraged, there might be a turning point!" Qin Suyue said. "You'll see, that person will come again."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Mengmeng felt a mix of anticipation, struggle, and mixed emotions.
Just as Qin Suyue said, Qi Zhenghan often came to buy snacks, and Zhang Mengmeng always served him, but he never said much.
Every time, Qin Suyue would say a few words to Zhang Mengmeng, which would always make Zhang Mengmeng uneasy and cause a slight change in her mind.
Qi Zhenghan didn't say much, and Zhang Mengmeng silently paid attention to him while also avoiding him, feeling very conflicted.
This situation affected her work, and she was reprimanded by Sun Sihao several times. In order to keep her job, Zhang Mengmeng had to force herself to work and that's how she managed to avoid making any more mistakes.
