Chapter 43 Word Frame
cross
As far as the eye can see, there are crowds of people.
A man in a shirt, a woman in a mask, a yellow scarf, and a white hat brim, among the people coming and going, suddenly a bundle pops up.
She was half a bust taller than the people around her, bouncing and rocking, in a gray lake wrinkle jacket with a puffed-up neckline and a Latin cross on her chest, chocolate-coloured, wooden, what looked like spade, and custom-made.At this time, it was dangling with the body.
"Wait a minute." Chi Xiansheng called to stop Chi Ge, avoiding the passage of the elevator entrance, "Shu Zi is also here."
Chi Ge narrowed his eyes and looked at it for a while, "Why didn't I see it?"
"XX counter, gray coat, wearing a cross." Chi Xiansheng asked, "Did you see it?"
"No." Chi Ge raised his eyelids expressionlessly, "You are wrong."
"But……"
After meeting their eyes, Shu Zi made a "V", arched his back, and rushed forward with all his strength.
Chi Xiansheng stared at her figure, there was no way he would admit his mistake, he took out his phone, and he called to confirm, when his wrist was suddenly grabbed.
"Let's go."
Chi Ge grabbed him, and went directly to the elevator. The first step was not empty, his back was pressed against his chest, and his body was tightly blocked behind him.
Since childhood, Chi Ge has been at odds with Shu Zi. For many years, he has long forgotten the direct cause of the conflict. It may be a small matter, or it may be the result of the accumulation of many small things. In short, it is already like this now, similar to Things happen from time to time.
Taking advantage of the time, Chi Xiansheng sent a text message to Shu Zi:
[My brother and I are in the underground supermarket, don't squeeze us over again, our hair is all messed up, see you when we have a chance. 】
Shu Zi replied in seconds, [OK! ! 】
And 10 minutes later, when Chi Xiansheng was discussing which milk to drink with Chi Ge, Shu Zi appeared again.
"Pure milk is fine. Drinking a cup before going to bed can also help with insomnia." Chi Xiansheng turned his head, he really didn't want to waste time on choosing milk.
"No." Chi Ge made a big fuss, without hesitation for a second, and resolutely refused, "I don't need it, I bought it for you, children's milk has high nutritional value."
"But I'm not a child."
Chi Ge stood in front of the shelf, surrounded by colorful children's milk printed with cartoon characters, and browsed the nutritional content list with the rigorous attitude of reading a criminal case agency contract.
Chi Xiansheng really wanted to take a picture of this scene, if it didn't end up in his stomach.
"The name of the product is children's milk, but children are not required to drink it." Chi Ge looked serious, correcting his misunderstanding, "Children are just a period, not a person, which means that for this period, it provides sufficient nutrition , just enough to fill the body's needs."
The teller glanced over for the fifth time, and Mobu was squatting in the shopping cart, and Chi Xiansheng stared at it, already anticipating what Chi Ge was going to say next.
"You have been a picky eater since you were a child. You don't like to drink milk. You can taste it when you add it to dishes. You can lock yourself in the bathroom and brush your teeth for half an hour. I almost forced it down, but now I finally figured it out and understood the importance of milk, it’s still timely, so naturally I have to start from scratch.”
Having said that, he still couldn't accept it, the stupid look of holding a milk bottle with Transformers on it was simply silly.
Chi Xiansheng tightened his lips, trying to find a perfect excuse, racking his brains.
"How about the smart baby's nutritional milk?" Chi Ge picked up two boxes, "One morning and one night."
"It's not that good." The big-headed son is only slightly better than Transformers, Chi Xiansheng lowered his head, sullen, "If children are a period, then so are the elderly?"
Chi Ge nodded, put down the milk crate, and looked over with great interest.
"If you miss it in childhood, you can make up for it later. If you predict it in old age, you can also prevent it in advance."
"So?" Chi Ge asked with a smile.
"So—" Chi Xiansheng didn't want to be outdone, "If I can drink milk for children, you can also drink nutritional supplements for middle-aged and elderly people."
"What nutritional supplements for middle-aged and elderly people?" Shu Zi suddenly appeared from behind at this moment, "What a coincidence, I can meet you all when I am doing market research. Is it to give gifts to the elders?"
Chi Ge put a fist on his lips and chuckled. He was not surprised by Shu Zi's appearance. He even pointed to the milk and asked her opinion, "Smart baby, is it the favorite of the 6-year-old baby?"
"I think...?"
"Hmm." Chi Ge dazzled.
Shu Zi was a little dazed, but she still had to try her best to echo what she had said.There are so many beautiful things in front of my eyes. Generally speaking, this kind of moment is caused by the natural pursuit of beauty. In any case, the good-looking one is definitely not bad.
"Little princess?" She stretched out her slender index finger and pointed at the most pink carton of milk in the audience.
"Unfortunately, there is no little prince." Chi Ge sighed to himself, "The calcium content in this box is quite high..."
Shu Zi asked from behind, "A Sheng, where are you going?"
"Buy nutritional supplements for middle-aged and elderly people."
Chi Xiansheng said without looking back.
Chi Ge was carrying two boxes of smart babies, Shu Zi was carrying a bag of snacks, Chi Xiansheng was holding the mop's leash with one hand, and his elderly companion—oatmeal with the other.
"Wait at the door." Chi Ge took out the key from the pocket of his trousers, "I'll go pick up the car."
Chi Xiansheng took the two boxes of the source of evil and put them at his feet, with a calm expression on his face, and took the initiative to get closer without a trace of disgust.
"That guy is really weird. My co-worker's child celebrated his birthday and gave milk to others, and he actually chose it himself for a long time." Shu Zi looked at Chi Ge's back and clicked his tongue again and again.
The night was falling, and when the wind came, a few trees on the side of the road rustled, and it was pitch black, whistling, and the original appearance could not be seen clearly.It's a bit like when I was a child, I couldn't sleep at night, Chi Ge frightened the old tree spirit he made up, Chi Xiansheng nodded.
"Look, you think it's right too." Shu Zi's fingertips were red with cold, and he stuffed them into his pockets, "It feels like time flies."
Chi Xiansheng hummed, and the street lights reflected the elongated shadow on the ground, "When you wait until tomorrow, you will feel that today is fleeting, and when you wake up at dawn again, the window is covered with sunshine, and you will still feel relieved."
"Actually." Shu Zi looked down at his feet and murmured softly, "I regret what happened back then. If I hadn't left, would you have..."
At the end of the speech, Shu Zi's voice was inaudible, his eyes drifted away, his red lips were tightly closed, and the unspoken words came back to his heart.
It's not difficult for Chi Xiansheng to guess that it's just a matter of feeling better, maybe, maybe not, anyway, it's over, and it will always be unknown, so why bother.
"No." Chi Xiansheng looked into her eyes and replied seriously, "When I lost the chance to be myself, I realized how important it is to be myself."
"us--"
Shu Zi wanted to say something more, but a whistle interrupted her.Chi Ge drove to the side of the road, and Chi Xiansheng picked up his things, walked over, and asked, "Is it far away where you live? It's getting dark, let my brother take you back."
"No need." Shu Zi waved his hand readily, pointing to the two apartment buildings opposite the shopping mall, "I live here, Block A, 303, come and see me when you are free."
Chi Xiansheng responded, "Let's go back early at night."
He opened the trunk and put in milk and oatmeal.Shu Zi responded in a low voice, her eyes flickering, and she stood by her side. Chi Xiansheng bent down, reached in with the hand holding the snack belt, took out two boxes of pudding, and put them in her pockets, one on the left and the other on the right.
Leaving alone, it is inevitable that my heart will be empty, and there are some things in my hand that can always be resolved.
Seeing that he was tied with a plastic bag knot, Shu Zi also bent down, "...can it still be the same as before?"
After sealing the open plastic bag so that the snacks would not be spilled in the car, it was only then that Chi Xiansheng realized that what Shu Zi asked was what he had just been interrupted, he leaned close to Shu Zi's ear, and answered in a low voice.
"What are you doing?" Chi Ge frowned and turned to glance.
"Say a few words." Chi Xiansheng closed the rear door, sat in the front seat, rolled down the window, and waved goodbye to Shu Zi.
"Say a few words, don't you need to be so close?"
As soon as the words were finished, Shu Zi put his hands on his mouth outside the car window and shouted loudly: "I will always like Chi Xiansheng."
His body was stiff, his throat was tight, and he turned his face sideways, making a meaningless rhyme.
Chi Ge stepped on the gas pedal, leaving exhaust fumes, and drove away, "Is this just to say a few words?"
"Not in my few words."
Chi Xiansheng held a piece of orange peel and shook it in front of the mop, watching its small head turn around, stretched out its paws to poke around, but couldn't reach it, and threw it on the face. It was Chi Ge who drove steadily, and dogs and humans were both Not dizzy.
"It seems that I have to care about your love life." Chi Ge stopped in front of the red light and said inexplicably.
Chi Xiansheng nodded, without any scruples, one finger was held in the paw by the mop, and the other hand was still rubbing on its body. He smiled, "I will tell myself? Or answer questions?"
"Let's talk when we go home." Chi Ge turned the corner smoothly, with two green tea-flavored lozenges in his mouth, "I was afraid of being stimulated, so I shook my hand and hit a tree."
It's fine to go home, Chi Xiansheng raised the corner of his mouth and stopped talking.
Chi Ge lives in the city center, near the company, there are colorful lights and trees everywhere.Entering the main gate, the security guard is registering the vehicles in front. He is wearing a work uniform, with a bald head, dark complexion, shaved cheeks and thin jaw, and the sleeves and trousers are exposed, as if they are empty.
After the security guard registered, he glanced at the license plate number, opened the barrier and greeted with a smile, "Mr. Chi came back early today."
"The company is not busy, so I can relax for a few days..." Chi Ge said a few words, closed the car window, and said to Chi Xiansheng, "Captain of the security team, when we meet later, just call Uncle An, it saved my life .”
Chi Xiansheng came several times before he was reborn, but Chi Ge didn't change a single word, it was still the same introduction. Knowing the specific reason, he was not at all curious, but suddenly remembered something, and forgot to ask Shu Zi just now.
"You mean the cross she wears?" Chi Ge asked, "Did Shu Zi tell you?"
Nodding his head, Chi Xiansheng became more and more surprised. Shu Zi never believed in these things, and even drove away Christians who stood in front of him to preach in the street.
"She said that the meaning of the cross has many meanings, one of which is rebirth."
