As evening approached, among a sea of colorful signs, Pei Xi spotted the simple, retro "Street Hot Pot" sign.
Everything seems unchanged.
The three of them ate hot pot together.
As Pei Xi left home reeking of spicy hot pot, something suddenly occurred to her.
When Jiang Cheng paid the bill here before, she said that she would treat him to a meal next time.
But it seems that it has never been realized.
"Next time" and "another day" are probably the most common lies people tell.
As she pondered this, she remembered the escape room shop.
And that group photo they took together.
It was once hung in the most prominent position on the photo wall by that short-haired female shop assistant. I wonder if it's still there now?
The three of them walked a little further and happened to arrive at the entrance of the escape room shop.
Shen Miaoyi helped the old woman to look at the retail flowers at the stall, and Pei Xi, as if possessed, walked into the shop.
The interior furnishings remained unchanged. As soon as you entered, you could hear people screaming in fright inside.
Pei Xi looked around. The posters on the wall seemed to have changed, and the theme of the escape room had been updated. The castle theme they had played with last time was no longer available.
She slowly walked to the photo wall.
The wall was covered with a dazzling array of items, including many more Polaroid photos, which were pasted up in a haphazard and disorderly manner. She looked up at the spot where they had previously put up photos and, sure enough, it had been covered with other photos.
Pei Xi raised his hand and gently pulled at the bottom.
Then her hand suddenly stopped.
It wasn't covered up.
The photo is missing.
Pei Xi paused for two seconds, then fiddled with the photo next to him.
Still no.
She blinked helplessly, a sudden emptiness filling her heart.
"Hello."
Someone called her from behind, and Pei Xi came back to her senses and turned around to look.
It turned out to be the same short-haired shop assistant from last time.
Her hairstyle remained the same, except it was dyed yellow.
Before Pei Xi could even greet her, the short-haired shop assistant's eyes widened in surprise, "It really is you!"
Pei Xi paused for a moment, then smiled and asked, "You still remember me?"
"Of course." The short-haired shop assistant nodded.
In real life, the number of beautiful faces one encounters is already very limited, so how could one not have a deep impression of them?
Especially since they are record-breaking handsome men and beautiful women.
Pei Xi suddenly felt a sense of closeness and immediately asked, "Hello, I wanted to ask if all the photos are here? I can't seem to find the photos I took last time."
The short-haired clerk said, "Oh, that photo has already been taken."
Pei Xi was stunned for a moment, "By whom?"
"The guy who came with you last time," the short-haired shop assistant said.
Pei Xi remained silent for a full two or three seconds.
Then she asked, "May I ask when he took it?"
The hairdresser rolled her eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "It's been a long time, since last summer."
She remembered it vividly because the photo had been lost once before, so she moved it to a different spot. At the time, the boy thought the photo was gone, and his face turned cold, which almost scared her.
Based on her intuition, she felt that the two of them must have had a fight.
Seeing that Pei Xi remained silent for a long time after her answer, the short-haired shop assistant paused, further confirming her suspicions.
A hint of regret appeared on her face as she cautiously asked, "By the way, did you two really break up?"
Pei Xi was taken aback.
Only then did I realize that the person in front of me seemed to have misunderstood something.
Then she immediately shook her head, a smile spreading across her eyes, and replied softly, "Of course not."
They just hadn't seen each other for a long time.
But not meeting in person does not mean we've separated.
What's more, they will soon meet again.
