It wasn't early when Jiang Yanqing went out, and she stayed here for more than half an hour, and the sun was gradually getting higher.
As they walked, Jiang Yanqing felt sweat starting to form on her back. Coincidentally, they came to a newsstand.
Newsstands don't just sell newspapers and magazines; they also sell soda and popsicles in the summer. So Jiang Yanqing glanced at Fang Mingxiao and said playfully, "Brother Mingxiao, can you treat me to a popsicle?"
Without any hesitation, Fang Mingxiao took out the fifty cents he had just received from his pocket and handed it over.
Jiang Yanqing took the money and tiptoed to hand it to the old man guarding the newsstand, "Uncle, two ice creams, please."
Mung bean popsicles cost five cents each, and ice cream cost ten cents each. After having tried the mung bean popsicles, Jiang Yanqing wanted to try the ice cream of this era.
The old man took the money, rummaged through his tin box, and found three cents for Jiang Yanqing. He then stood up and took out two ice creams from the foam box wrapped in his cotton-padded jacket and handed them to him.
The ice cream was plump and wrapped in a white paper with red patterns printed on it, with the word "ice cream" written in big letters on it.
She happily took the ice cream and handed one to Fang Mingxiao. Jiang Yanqing peeled off the wrapper of her own ice cream and put it in her mouth impatiently.
The rich milky aroma instantly filled her mouth. Jiang Yanqing took a satisfying bite and said to Fang Mingxiao in a slurred voice, "Eat it quickly, or it will melt."
Fang Mingxiao looked away and thought to himself, is this ice cream so delicious?
He peeled off the wrapper of the ice cream in a few seconds and took a bite like Jiang Yanqing. Hmm, it was too sweet, but it tasted good.
He handed the three cents in his hand to Fang Mingxiao, and the two continued walking forward while eating ice cream.
When they arrived at the department store, the two had already finished their ice cream. Jiang Yanqing and Fang Mingxiao went in for a walk and bought some candies, biscuits, and canned peanuts as snacks for the holiday.
She also bought a fish, two pounds of meat, and a chicken. However, the weather was too hot and it was difficult to store food, so Jiang Yanqing didn't buy that much. She still had some side dishes at home.
After all, it is not so convenient to use space when staying with Fang Mingxiao.
She thought that maybe she could get a refrigerator for her home, but Jiang Yanqing didn't see any refrigerators for sale in the department store. Even if there were any, they would have been taken away as soon as they came out.
Let’s talk about it after I move in completely, Jiang Yanqing thought to herself. She didn’t even hear Fang Mingxiao calling her twice.
Fang Mingxiao sighed silently, "Jiang Yanqing." He called out again stiffly.
Jiang Yanqing finally reacted and looked back at Fang Mingxiao awkwardly, "Hmm? What's wrong?"
"Wait here for me, I'm going to get something from my classmate's house."
Jiang Yanqing nodded of course and stretched out her hand to take the things in Fang Mingxiao's hand. She had just bought things and only took the biscuits and candies. The rest were in Fang Mingxiao's hands.
Fang Mingxiao stepped back, avoiding Jiang Yanqing's hand, and walked to a tree nearby. There happened to be a bench under the tree, so he put the things on it.
After Jiang Yanqing came over, he said, "Wait for me for a moment, I'll be back soon."
Jiang Yanqing was stunned for a moment. Why did the tone sound like someone coaxing a child?
But the person had already walked away, so Jiang Yanqing could only sit on the chair and wait. He peeled a piece of candy, put it in his mouth, and looked around boredly.
It didn't take long before Fang Mingxiao came over from the other side carrying a big black bag. Jiang Yanqing stood up and waited for Fang Mingxiao to come closer.
He said in surprise, "You brought so many things, what are they?"
Fang Mingxiao carried his bag and picked up the things on the bench again. "Books."
Well, what a top student this is, Jiang Yanqing complained in her heart, but praised him, "Student Fang's studious spirit is worthy of our praise."
As he said this, he raised a thumbs up with his free hand.
Fang Mingxiao glanced at Jiang Yanqing coldly and didn't say anything else.
The two soon arrived near Jiang Yanqing's house and entered the alley. Aunt Hua was chatting with a neighbor at the door. Seeing Jiang Yanqing and Fang Mingxiao coming over, she smiled and asked, "Hey, Xiao Jiang, who is this?"
Jiang Yanqing had already thought of an explanation and replied, "My cousin, Aunt Hua, do we look alike?"
Aunt Hua actually looked at Jiang Yanqing and Fang Mingxiao carefully before answering, "Not really, but they're both equally handsome."
Jiang Yanqing laughed and agreed, "Haha, Aunt Hua, I also think my cousin is handsome, but not as handsome as me."
Aunt Hua and the neighbors nearby also laughed and chatted for a while. Jiang Yanqing and Fang Mingxiao continued walking forward.
Jiang Yanqing turned her head and was about to talk to Fang Mingxiao when she saw two suspicious blushes on the boy's face. No way, is he shy?
Jiang Yanqing couldn't help but burst out laughing and whispered, "Fang Mingxiao, you are so cute."
