Chapter 587 The Man Who Throws Chopsticks
Bai Qingxia didn't move when she saw this. After all, she had just said "Just stand." Although she did want to sit down and wait now that the other party had left... Never mind, she would just stand and wait for a while.
Five minutes later, the proprietress finally finished taking care of another customer and walked towards Bai Qingxia. She was slightly stunned, then smiled: "Hey? Are you the little girl in school uniform who ordered ballet costumes last year?"
Bai Qingxia was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the proprietress would recognize her after getting closer. She nodded: "Yes, it's me."
"You've changed so much. You're even prettier now. How was the dress you wore last time for the dance?"
"Very good." Bai Qingxia was not good at chatting with strangers, so she quickly got to the point: "Do you have any red dance costumes here? Suitable for ballet."
"What kind of red?" the proprietress asked as she took Bai Qingxia towards the clothes rack.
Bai Qingxia thought for a moment and said, "A red like maple leaves, with a gradient color would be fine."
"Is this okay?" The proprietress picked out a red dance dress from the hanger. Bai Qingxia took a look and said with a smile, "Yes, it's pretty. Do you have anything else?"
The proprietress looked at her and went to look for another dance costume. She asked curiously, "Are you in college now?"
She still remembers that when this little girl came a year ago, she was extremely socially anxious. She hid behind the boy almost the entire time and her voice was as soft as a mosquito. She followed the boy wherever he went, as if she was stuck to him.
It's completely different now.
Compared with this girl, her son became more and more gloomy. She thought her son would become more sunny after going to college.
"Yeah." Bai Qingxia responded.
Lady boss: "Where did you go to college?"
"Pearl City."
"What a coincidence, my son does too!"
Out of politeness, the proprietress did not ask which university it was. After all, many students are reluctant to talk about this.
"How about this one?" The proprietress picked out another one and showed it to Bai Qingxia.
After looking at several pieces, Bai Qingxia finally decided on the first one. Without anyone to accompany her, she didn't dare to change clothes. In fact, it didn't make a big difference. She just had to report her measurements.
"What's your name?" The proprietress came over with the order.
"Last name: Bai."
The proprietress looked at her in surprise, then nodded and said, "Okay, Miss Bai, just fill in your address and phone number here."
Watching Bai Qingxia walk out of the store, the proprietress took another look at the order, then walked towards the lounge. She leaned against the door and said to her son, "Luo Qiang, that little girl just now also came here to order dance costumes a year ago. Mom thought she looked familiar a year ago, and when I heard her last name just now, I remembered that she looks a bit like your elementary school classmate."
Luo Qiang was concentrating on playing the game and didn't look back: "Which one?"
"The one with the surname Bai, the one whose brother got into a car accident."
Luo Qiang stopped typing on the keyboard, turned around and looked at his mother at the door, his expression a little stiff.
It took him a long time to turn around completely, and hesitantly asked, "Could it be that you made a mistake?"
"That shouldn't be the case... And she's a ballet dancer. Doesn't your classmate also dance ballet? And she was in high school last year and is in college this year. She should be the same age as you."
Luo Qiang suddenly fell silent, and his eyes gradually moved to the ground.
The lady boss walked over with the order and said, "Here's her phone number. Why don't you give her a call and ask her full name? Or your mom can ask for you."
"There must be something wrong." Luo Qiang simply raised his hand and pushed the order away without even looking at it.
He turned around and looked at the computer again, looking at the game characters floating on the screen, but at this moment he no longer had the mood to play.
Only he himself knew that he hoped to see the girl again every day, but he was also afraid to see the girl again.
…
Two weeks passed in a flash, and it was the day before school started. At eight o'clock in the evening, Lu Yuanqiu, Bai Qingxia, Zheng Yifeng and Zhong Jincheng went to the barbecue stall address sent by Cao Shuang on his mobile phone to keep the appointment.
In fact, Lu Yuanqiu did not recommend Cao Shuang to hang out with these so-called "bad students" at first, but after getting along with these boys in No. 7 Middle School, he gradually felt that some of the so-called "bad students" were not completely flawed. They might just be unsuitable for studying. At least when they got into trouble, they would uphold their sense of loyalty and throw down their chopsticks and stand up.
If possible, Lu Yuanqiu would still advise them to stick to their studies. They may not learn anything useful, but the environment can change a person.
Cao Shuang was probably the one who transformed most successfully among them.
Cao Shuang: "Have you practiced all your programs?"
Lu Yuanqiu nodded: "It's almost done, just wait until school starts to participate in the competition."
Bai Qingxia ate the barbecue in small bites and raised her head to respond: "I'm almost there too."
Cao Shuang smiled and said, "I will go to the scene with our school's car participating in the city art competition and cheer for you."
"Okay."
Zheng Yifeng raised his head and looked in one direction: "They are here."
Liang Jingfeng exclaimed, "Oh my god, this alley is almost killing us. It's so dark that even cars can't get in."
Lu Yuanqiu smiled and said, "Stop complaining and sit down quickly."
He introduced his senior and Liang Jingfeng to the boys around him. The boys were very enthusiastic and stood up and called them Brother Song and Brother Liang.
Liang Jingfeng drank some wine, his face flushed and he was drunk again. He raised his glass and said, "I dare say that our song this time is absolutely invincible! We will definitely win over the judges on the spot!"
Lu Yuanqiu: "Can you please stop setting your goals? Otherwise, you won't even get your third prize."
It’s hard to say whether I can win over the judges, but it’s certain that I can win over someone, Zheng Yifeng said to himself with a smile.
At nine o'clock in the evening, after having enough food and drink, the seven of them stood up, supporting each other. In fact, only Liang Jingfeng, Finkel and Cao Shuang had drunk some wine. Lu Yuanqiu supported Cao Shuang and said to the boys behind them, "We are leaving first. We have to catch the bus tomorrow. You guys continue eating. I'll pay the bill!"
"Thank you, Brother Qiu! Take care, Brother Qiu!" The boys stood up one after another.
Bai Qingxia looked at the boys and smiled. The boys were stunned when they saw this, as if they did not expect that this ice goddess from high school would smile. They all shyly bowed to her, nodded, and smiled back.
The seven of them walked side by side towards the alley entrance, and Liang Jingfeng said drunkenly: "We...we can definitely win the prize."
"Well, continue standing." Lu Yuanqiu responded.
When they were about to get out of the alley, they suddenly stopped and saw young men holding steel pipes coming out from the side roads on both sides of the alley.
You set a great flag and won an award, but I don’t even know if you can return to school... Lu Yuanqiu looked at this scene and couldn't help but mutter to himself. Cao Shuang next to him also sobered up a little.
Seeing Bai Qingxia's body tense, Lu Yuanqiu blocked her behind him and at the same time reached out and touched Zheng Yifeng inconspicuously. Zheng Yifeng understood and reached his phone behind Lu Yuanqiu to dial 110. Zhong Jincheng turned his head to look at the scene behind Lu Yuanqiu and swallowed silently.
The person leading the way was a young man with a cross around his neck. Lu Yuanqiu felt as if he had seen him somewhere before.
"Did you provoke him?" Lu Yuanqiu whispered to Cao Shuang.
Cao Shuang shook his head and shouted to the front: "Who are you looking for? If you have something to say, please tell me!"
The young man wearing the cross looked at Finkel and muttered, "Weren't there two people who entered the alley? How come there are seven of them coming out?"
But he didn't seem to care how many people there were. After he finished wondering, he led the people behind him up. Lu Yuanqiu took a quick look and saw that there were fifteen people in total, five of whom were holding steel pipes.
"Go!" The man wearing the cross didn't waste any words and rushed over with a loud shout.
Lu Yuanqiu grabbed Bai Qingxia's hand and shouted, "Run back!"
Bai Qingxia followed closely behind him, and the seven of them ran back in the direction they came from. Zheng Yifeng took advantage of the chaos to explain the situation on the phone, and within a few minutes, the seven of them ran back to the barbecue stall.
The man wearing the cross was stunned again, and quickly stopped, while using a steel pipe to stop the people behind him.
Lu Yuanqiu and Cao Shuang panted and turned back to look at the boys at the barbecue stall with staring eyes.
“Snap! Snap! Snap!”
Everyone reacted instantly, threw their chopsticks on the table and stood up.
