Chapter 41 Opening a Shop for You
In the room, Lin Lu's toes in slippers were constantly raised and lowered, tapping on the wooden floor.
She looked at the record book spread out on her desk, saw the name Cheng Zhu, and suddenly felt a very strange feeling in her heart.
“I kind of want to cross him off.”
But then she changed her mind and decided to just write her name.
"We are all friends, and friends should be open and honest with each other. If I don't write my name directly, it will seem like I have something to hide, huh!" Lin Lu thought.
To be honest, it was she who took the initiative to invite Cheng Zhu to play games.
But I didn't expect that the two people's skills were equally good, and their dishes had their own unique characteristics.
But she wasn't annoyed. She thought it was quite interesting to see two newbies in a duo complaining about each other.
Look, she learned a new word today.
She had just used an invalid [Flash] in a game and failed to dodge any skills or pursuit.
As a result, this death was discovered by Cheng Zhu, who immediately chuckled and said that what she did was called flash grave relocation.
Lin Lu was so angry that he went crazy, but now when he thinks back on it, he finds it quite funny.
The voice actress girl smiled, closed her record book, and put it in the drawer.
She has continued this habit since her grandmother passed away. It started when she saw a sentence: Pausing time is a divine skill, but photography and recording allow us to peek into the divine skill.
When she saw this sentence, she suddenly felt quite regretful.
She hasn't taken many photos with her grandmother.
Then, she began to actively record her life.
In other words, the death of her grandmother changed some of her living habits and affected every aspect of her life.
——The departure of a loved one is not a momentary rainstorm, but the dampness of a lifetime.
As for Shen Qingning, she is not a person who likes taking photos or recording videos. At the beginning, when Lin Lu Lao asked her to take photos or something like that, she would feel a little uncomfortable.
After gradually understanding her thoughts, the cold girl became more cooperative.
And after the voice call ended, what was Shen Qingning doing?
The cold and aloof girl was in a daze for about half a minute.
Then, she picked up her phone and sent a WeChat message to her peers in the family group.
It’s the WeChat group that includes Shen Minglang, Jiang Wanzhou, and an older cousin.
Shen Qingning: "Do you think there is something wrong with Cheng Zhu and Lin Lu?"
In this group, only the eldest cousin is not in Hangzhou. He works in Beijing and did not even attend Shen Minglang’s birthday party. However, he is always the most active one in the group.
Cousin: "Lin Lu? Your sweet friend Lin Lu who's a voice actor?"
Shen Minglang: "What's the problem?"
Jiang Wanzhou: "I think there is a problem too."
Cousin: "By the way, who is Cheng Zhu? No one told me last time."
Shen Minglang: "Now that you mention it, I realize that they have been less frequent in the group chat recently."
Jiang Wanzhou: "Stupid, this is just the most superficial aspect, okay?"
Cousin: "What? You have another group behind my back!?"
Shen Qingning: "I think Lin Lu quite likes playing with him."
Shen Minglang: "What's so strange about this? I also like playing with my cousin!"
Cousin: "If no one pays attention to me anymore, I will quit the group!"
Jiang Wanzhou: "No no no, Shen Minglang you idiot still don't understand!"
Shen Minglang: "How can I not understand? Do I not understand Lin Lu or do I not understand Cheng Zhu?"
Cousin: "No! Who the hell is Cheng Zhu!!!"
In the family group of four people, Shen Qingning hesitated again and again and did not continue the deep conversation. She couldn't say arbitrarily, "I feel that Lu Lu is a little interested in Cheng Zhu, right?"
Jiang Wanzhou recalled Cheng Zhu's shocking statement "I'm also dating your cousin" and chose to remain silent.
Only Shen Minglang said in the tone of an experienced person: "Oh, Xiaolu is so pretty and has a nice voice. It's normal for young people to be a little attracted to her!"
"But, even though I'm so outstanding, I don't have a chance to be with Xiaolu, let alone Cheng Zhu."
"If he can hook up with Lin Lu, I'll wash his underwear for a year!"
"He'll put himself in his place soon enough."
"Isn't it nice to be friends peacefully? Isn't it fun to play together?"
It was obvious that when he said "let's play together", he did not consider the feelings of his older cousin who was far away in Beijing.
At this moment, the eldest cousin expressed the same helpless rage in the group as last time: "No, no one cares about me, what am I in this group?"
…
…
At night, after dinner, Cheng Zhu took Xiao Youzi out of the restaurant and went for a walk outside.
I said I was going for a walk, but actually I was going to see if the small supermarket was for sale.
He held the little hand with his big hand and walked slowly.
Cheng You is small and her short legs can't keep up with his long legs.
The weather in August is hot and humid, and it is easy to make your hands sweat when holding hands like this.
Every time little Youzi felt her palms were a little sticky, she would put her hands on her little skirt and rub them. After wiping the sweat off her hands, she would immediately put her little hands into Cheng Zhu's big hands.
When passing by a milk tea shop, Cheng You looked back frequently but never spoke.
She is the kind of child who is not good at making demands and doesn't make noise. She is not like some children who ask for this and that, and when being rejected by their parents, they will throw a tantrum in the street or even roll on the ground.
Cheng Zhu stopped and asked, "Want a drink?"
Xiao Youzi did not answer directly, but asked cautiously: "Brother, do you have money?"
Cheng Zhu was amused by her. After laughing, he said, "Brother has made some money recently."
People are strange. When talking to cute children, they can't help but add some interjections.
Cheng Zhu is a typical example:
"First day of the challenge of not swearing!"
"Get the fuck started!"
But in front of Xiaoyouzi, he always speaks in a softer tone.
Little Youzi looked up at him, blinking her big eyes, her two braids falling back as she looked up, and said, "Then let's have a drink once in a while!"
Because her mother Xu Yun always controls her eating snacks and drinking milk tea, and always tells her that she can only eat and drink occasionally.
So at such a young age, she has already learned to define the word "occasionally" flexibly.
Regardless of how often I drink it, I always say to myself when I consume it: “I just drink it once in a while.”
Cheng Zhu took her over to place the order, and even picked her up and let her choose by herself.
The little girl looked at it for a long time, and finally asked hesitantly: "Sister, which kind of milk tea is the cheapest?"
"Also, I want something sweet. I can't stand sour ones."
Cheng Zhu just found it funny and said, "Not really."
He ordered a drink for his sister that she usually liked, and specially added coconut flakes. She didn't like pearls, but she had a special liking for coconut flakes.
After Cheng Zhu paid the money, he took a photo of Xiao Youzi while waiting for his milk tea, and then sent it to the group, specifically tagging Jiang Wanzhou.
"Don't you want to be recognized as your sister? Little Pomelo wants to drink milk tea, why don't you show some appreciation?"
A few seconds later, Jiang Wanzhou sent a red envelope to Cheng Zhu in the group.
The red envelope was quite big, enough to buy two cups of milk tea, which was equivalent to treating Cheng Zhui to a cup at the same time.
——"He is so real that I cry to death."
Lin Lu jumped out and said, "Wow, my sister is so cute!"
Cheng Zhu replied directly: "What sister? You are disrespectful, call me Master Aunt!"
Shen Minglang was very enthusiastic about this topic and he also said, "Ningning was also very cute when she was little, but it's a pity that she is not cute at all when she grows up."
Shen Qingning actually checked WeChat, but was too lazy to respond to him.
After the milk tea was ready, Xiao Youzi said to the clerk in a baby voice: "Thank you, sister."
Cheng Zhuze said with a straight face: "I paid for it, so you should thank me."
"Thank you, brother." Cheng You said.
As for Jiang Wanzhou, Cheng Zhu didn't even mention him.
With milk tea to drink, little Youzi walks faster.
The two soon arrived at the small supermarket.
Cheng Zhu came the day before yesterday, but the transfer notice had not been posted yet. However, it was posted today.
"Let's go back." He said to his sister after going in and buying a bottle of water.
When they were about to walk back to the restaurant, the brother and sister tacitly did not enter the store immediately, but found a corner nearby to sit down. They waited until Cheng You held the milk tea in both hands and drank it in small sips before entering the store.
Just then a table of guests had finished their meal, so Cheng Zhu went to help his mother clear the table.
While cleaning up, he casually shared what he had just seen and heard.
He was just chatting at home, saying that last time he went to a supermarket to buy something, he met a girl and an old man who were causing trouble because the girl had an abortion for the supermarket owner...
Cheng Zhu was just like performing a crosstalk, and he even supported himself.
Xu Yun glanced at him unhappily and said, "You are the only one who talks too much. I don't know who you resemble!"
She didn't say anything, but she silently took note of the supermarket transfer in her heart and planned to talk about it with Lao Cheng when she got home in the evening.
At this moment, Cheng Zhuyi turned his head and saw Xiao Youzi listening very attentively beside him.
He knew his sister didn't understand either, but in her eyes, a supermarket where she could buy snacks was one of the most amazing places in the world, comparable to a milk tea shop, so she forced herself to listen even though she didn't understand.
Cheng Zhu's mind moved, and he asked, "What kind of store do you want to open when you grow up, Xiao Youzi?"
The little girl hesitated a lot, and finally made a choice between the supermarket and the milk tea shop, saying: "Milk tea shop!"
Cheng Zhu patted her head gently and said in front of his mother, "Sure, I'll open it for you when I make money!"
Xu Yun didn't take it too seriously. She just smiled at her son and said, "Look at your behavior."
Instead, Xiao Youzi asked with anticipation, "Can we make a pinky promise?"
"Sure." Cheng Zhu smiled and stretched out his hand.
Old Cheng happened to have no vegetables to cook at the moment, so he came out of the kitchen to drink a bowl of iced mung bean soup.
Xu Yun immediately said, "Old Cheng, your son is bragging, saying that he will open a milk tea shop for your daughter in the future."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhu immediately raised his eyebrows and said angrily, "Mom, you are talking nonsense. I didn't say I was going to open one for her."
