very nice
Xu Xi blinked, thinking it was a good idea. It would indeed save them a lot of time, so she agreed immediately.
When Chen Shuning turned to leave, Xu Xi stopped her and reminded her, "Shuning, be careful. If you encounter any other problems, you can call me."
Chen Shuning turned around and smiled at her. There was a special warmth in his smile, like the sunshine in spring.
"the same as you."
Xu Xi watched her back as she walked out first, feeling indescribable fondness in her heart. Just looking at this scene, she could imagine that if they were together in the future, the scene of them saying goodbye to each other at work would be so happy. Why hadn't she thought about falling in love with someone before and living a happy and simple life?
Xu Xi continued to work with a happy mood.
With the two of them dividing the work and cooperating in this way, they finished the task quickly. It took about three hours to sell all the items in hand.
Xu Xi looked at the two empty refrigerators and couldn't help but sigh in admiration. They had actually done it. She had originally thought they wouldn't be able to process all the items tonight, so she had asked Xiao Mu to sell some barbecue. Unexpectedly, they had sold all the items in about three hours. Selling them at the lowest market price, giving them the lowest profit, meant they were making a profit, but she didn't know how much yet.
Xu Xi looked at the time. It was almost 11 o'clock, the best time to have a midnight snack. She wondered what Xiao Mu was doing right now.
Xu Xi gently pushed the small cart that was used to deliver the goods, and walked slowly side by side with Chen Shuning. Neither of them spoke, and the surrounding noise and their silence formed a sharp contrast.
Xu Xi didn't speak until he was about to enter Xiao Mu's barbecue restaurant.
"Shuning, thank you for tonight."
Xu Xi pursed her lips and looked at Chen Shuning. She could only thank him first. She could talk about the rest later. Now was not the right time to ask why she was helping him. In fact, she was also afraid that if Chen Shuning didn't like girls, asking this would be like asking if she had any feelings for her before she was willing to help. If she didn't like girls, it would make her feel very uncomfortable.
At the same time, this will also make it seem like the nature of the help has changed, turning people's kindness into selfishness.
So now, no matter how much Xu Xi wanted to ask, she had to endure it. She couldn't ask no matter what. She just had to express her inner gratitude.
All I could hear was Chen Shuning's relaxed laughter, as if he was just helping with something very insignificant.
"You're welcome, I'm happy to be of help."
After Xu Xi expressed her gratitude, her emotions were still surging. She felt as if she wanted to say something more, but because she rarely communicated with others, she didn't know how to express herself. So she held it in for a while and only managed to say three words:
"It's so kind of you."
"Really?" Chen Shuning stopped laughing and looked at Xu Xi in front of him seriously.
Xu Xi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, and because she hadn't been able to express the frustration she had just felt, her ears suddenly felt hot. Fortunately, the surrounding lights were dim and she couldn't see anything. She subconsciously lowered her head and took a deep breath, then stammered:
"Of course it's true. I really think you're a very nice person."
“…” Chen Shuning: That’s good.
In order to avoid being stuck in this situation, Xu Xi changed the subject.
"Let's put the things we have back into the store. I'll take you back later, and then I'll go find Xiao Mu to see how she's doing."
Xu Xi said as she pushed the cart into Xiao Mu's barbecue restaurant. Chen Shuning didn't have anything in her hands, so she just stood there without moving. When Xu Xi came out and saw Chen Shuning still standing there, she quickly walked over and reached into her pants pocket to take out the car keys.
"Let's go. I'll take you home first."
Xu Xi took out the car keys, but found that the person in front of her was motionless and silent.
She raised her eyes slightly, took a step forward, and just as she was about to ask Chen Shuning what was wrong, she spoke first.
"Let me go with you to your friend's place. We don't know what her situation is like right now. If she needs help, I can go with her and have an extra hand."
"..." Xu Xi was stunned in place, with that familiar feeling in her heart tugging at her again. Why was this happening? Xu Xi was puzzled but had to endure it. "But it's very late now. If you don't go back and rest early, I'm worried that you will be tired."
However, Chen Shuning still insisted and gave a reason that was irresistible.
"No. I feel fine."
Chen Shuning spoke in a relaxed and gentle tone. "Actually, I just wanted to experience what it's like to sell barbecue. I've never sold anything in my life, so tonight is a big experience. I find selling things quite fun. I thought about opening a store a long time ago, but for some special reasons, I chose this professional job. I've never had the opportunity to sell anything before, so I wanted to give it a try. I don't want to go home yet, and I don't have work tomorrow either."
