She had muted her phone while watching the movie just now, so she didn't hear the phone ringing.
"Let me make a call." Riemann said politely to Chen Shi.
Chen Shi smiled and nodded, and Riemann called back.
"Where are you?" As soon as the phone was connected, Huo Jiansheng's magnetic voice was heard.
"I'm outside. I was watching a movie with my friends and my phone was on silent mode," Riemann explained.
When Huo Jiansheng heard that Li Man went to the movies with his friends, he suddenly felt uncomfortable, as he seemed to have never watched a movie with Li Man.
"What friends?" Huo Jiansheng asked sourly.
"A friend I've played with since childhood." Riemann did not hide it.
In fact, there is nothing to hide. She and Huo Jiansheng are just friends.
Although Huo Jiansheng treated her very well and she also had a good impression of him, Huo Jiansheng had never said that he liked her, so she never dared to think in that direction, let alone have any improper thoughts.
She also didn't want to take her relationship with Huo Jiansheng any further, so she just wanted to keep the current status quo, which Li Man thought was fine.
The person on the other end of the phone just said "oh" and didn't ask any further questions.
After a moment of silence, Huo Jiansheng asked, "When will you come back?"
"I may not go back," said Riemann.
“What about your barbecue stall? Are you not going to run it anymore?” Huo Jiansheng asked gloomily.
"Well, let's not do it anymore. Let Xiaohui do it alone."
"Have you made up your mind...are you really not coming back?"
"Yes, I've made up my mind. My mother is alone at home, and I'm worried. I want to stay here with her."
After another silence, Huo Jiansheng said disappointedly: "I know."
After ending the call, Riemann turned off the silent mode on his phone.
Chen Shi had been standing next to Li Man. He had heard the general idea of the conversation just now, but he didn't ask much. Li Man said that she was not going back, and he was very happy.
Putting the phone into his bag, Li Man asked, "What did you just say?"
Chen Shi quickly said, "Let's go shopping again. There's nothing to do if we go home so early."
Li Man looked at the snow flying all over the sky and frowned, "Where should we go?"
In fact, it doesn’t matter where you go shopping, what’s important is who you go shopping with. If you go shopping with someone you like, you will be happy just walking on the street.
"The Spring Festival is coming soon, how about we go to the supermarket to buy some things?"
Speaking of going to the supermarket, Riemann remembered that there were many things he hadn't bought yet. His father had passed away and the family had been shrouded in sadness. He was not in the mood to buy anything, so he decided to take advantage of today to buy some things and take them back.
Riemann replied: "Okay."
The two came to the supermarket, and Riemann went to the fresh food area to buy some beef and front leg meat.
Chen Shi pushed the shopping cart, and Riemann put the selected items into the cart.
Watching Riemann carefully selecting things, Chen Shi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
His ideal life has always been to marry the person he loves, to be busy at work, to go to the supermarket and cook together after get off work, and to watch a movie together on weekends.
Today, after watching a movie with Riemann and going to the supermarket, he felt like he was dreaming.
The annoyance I had just felt in the cinema disappeared, replaced by a full sense of happiness.
Just as Chen Shi was immersed in happiness, a figure suddenly rushed out and slapped Riemann hard in the face.
It all happened so fast.
Neither Riemann nor Chen Shi reacted.
Riemann was slapped in the face just by surprise.
She was stunned, looking at the angry strange woman in front of her with a blank face, and quickly searched her mind for memories of this woman.
