unfamiliar

Although the fire in the other party's eyes was dazzling, it was as fast as a shooting star, flashing in an instant and then disappearing, making Li Ting think it was his own illusion.

The two looked at each other for a few more seconds, Li Ting pursed his lips, took a step back, and took the initiative to distance himself.

Li Ting's eyes, ears, mouth and nose were stained red by the prolonged cough, and his eyes were even more glistening. This made Fang Huai Ning a little dumbfounded just now. At this moment, the other party's behavior made him come back to his senses. She withdrew one hand that was resting on Li Ting's shoulder, while Fang Huai Ning curled up her other hand slightly, gently pinching the wet wipe in her palm to wipe his face.

Li Ting said, "Thank you."

He glanced at Fang Huailing's hand again and said, "The trash can is over there."

Fang Huai Ning let out a soft "Oh", clenched his fists, and walked slowly over to throw away the tissue.

The foreman was so busy that he came out to check the situation when he was free. Seeing that Li Ting was in a panic, he kindly told him to go in and change his clothes before leaving get off work, while the others cleaned up the things on the floor.

Li Ting didn't insist any longer, and came out after tidying up a bit, and walked to the other side of the shopping street as soon as he turned his feet, and came back from the other side with a big bag of things after a while.

Fang Huai Ning naturally paid attention to him, knowing that it was time to pretend to be a doll again, so he stopped his feet and continued to stand where he was, and suddenly said to the foreman who was directing the staff to clean: "Why don't you recruit more people?" Someone?"

Of course the foreman had an impression of this old customer, and he said frankly: "Oh, it's not that we don't want to recruit more labor. Our boss misses the old days and likes University A, but you also know that the students who come out of University A have too much vision. High, even if you do a small job, the salary must not be low."

"Then find more freshmen," Fang Huaining said, "The software and hardware in the store should also be opened up. It's hard to get into the picture A, and the conditions of the book bar are good. If the staff can spend more time, the students are still willing. "

"That's true. I'll talk to the boss again, but the traffic in this shopping street is still not enough. The recruitment notice was posted a long time ago."

Fang Huaiming looked at the back of Li Ting who was seriously posing with the doll opposite: "Go to the forum of A University to post."

"It's not that I haven't tried it before. The post will be deleted. It can survive for 5 minutes at most." The foreman said while looking at Fang Huaining. Talking about it, I probably know Fang Huailing's reputation, so I said, "Do you know the people in your major, can you help us out if you can? Extend it for an hour or two?"

In fact, he also felt that the handsome guy in front of him was quite serious, and he just said to relax before leaving get off work, but Fang Huailing lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and said: "It's impossible for an hour or two, at most half an hour." After all, the forum There are a lot of spam posts, so it's not a big problem to delete them first and then delete them.

The foreman was taken aback for a moment, and then he was pleasantly surprised: "That's enough, can we add some advertisements below, just a little bit, there are many activities behind our store, and it's really a discount for students."

Fang Huai Ning said nothing, didn't say yes but didn't refuse, the foreman already understood, and stretched out his hand to pat him: "Hey, if it works, next time you bring your classmates over, it will be free of charge, thank you so much."

Fang Huaining dodged his hand, looked up and saw that Li Ting was almost done, so she casually nodded with the foreman and walked forward.

It was getting late, and after another busy day, neither of them seemed to intend to walk home. They walked through the shopping street one after the other, and stopped at the station at the same time.There were no students coming and going at this hour, and the huge station was empty except for the two of them.

After a moment of silence, Fang Huai Ning spoke first: "The battery car, don't you ride it today?" When he saw it parked outside Hyacinth's cottage just now, he thought Li Ting would ride it away.

Li Ting said: "Leakage."

After thinking for a while, he said, "It was late when I went out, so I rode here."

Speaking of this, Fang Huai Ning casually said: "I left early today, and went to... Shiyilu's place."

Li Ting: "Oh."

Fang Huai Ning: "I will go in the next two days."

Li Ting: "Oh."

Fang Huailing stopped talking.

Li Ting collected a large bag of game coins from the machine and jingled them in his hands. Fang Huai Ning glanced at them. Although he didn't understand how much one coin could be exchanged for, he probably knew that it should be quite a lot.

He asked lightly again: "Business is good?"

Li Ting was not modest: "It's not bad."

"The other two are better?"

Li Ting nodded: "The station and subway station have more traffic."

Fang Huaiming thought about the entrance of the city where the three dolls were placed in Liting, and then nodded: "It's a good place to pick, and I have a good eye."

Li Ting accepted the compliment smoothly and snorted softly, "Half a year."

Fang Huai Ning: "What?"

Li Ting said, "I've been looking for these places for half a year."

Fang Huaining was surprised, he thought that Li Ting's eyes were vicious, and he was always straightforward in doing things. It was just a few claw machines, and he had prepared for so long?What a prudence.

Li Ting looked at the red signal light in the distance and sensed Fang Huaining's doubts, and said, "You don't understand me."

Fang Huai Ning was taken aback, and sighed in her heart: I have worked very hard!

Li Ting added: "In fact, I do everything like this..."

"How is it?" Fang Huai Ning couldn't help asking.

Li Ting suddenly turned his head and looked directly into Huai Ning's eyes: "Even if... no matter how tempted you are, how much you like it, until you are not 100% sure that you will win it, you will not take it casually."

When he said this, he put away the kitten's cunning and agility, and instantly revealed the aura of a beast, and transformed into a big cat with sharp claws. Big cats that are predators are best at observing their prey, and will not attack easily. And once it strikes, it will definitely hit it with one hit, and it will never fail!

Fang Huai Ning's heart shuddered under Li Ting's sharp eyes, and then she couldn't help but curl her lips slightly.

"I don't..."

Fang Huai Ning said.

"If it were me, I would try to rent one to test the waters first. Observation is safe, but everything can only be known by practice. Just like learning, the theoretical knowledge in the head can only be applied to the problem. You will know where the difficulties are, and where you should break through one by one."

And he really, really likes the process of solving puzzles.If you compare it with a beast, Fang Huailing is more like a wolf, with enough patience and tenacity, he can chase the prey persistently all the way, until the opponent has nowhere to escape, and then devour it with satisfaction.

The two looked at each other, and both saw a strange competitive spirit in each other's eyes. Although it came out of nowhere, and the reason for it might not be fully understood by each other, it did not hinder their persistence.

It wasn't until the signal light turned green and the bus in the distance slowly approached that the atmosphere of coming and going was broken.

Get in the car separately, think separately.

********

During the process of mixing milk tea, Li Ting always felt that there were two sticking eyes behind him. In fact, not only today, these two eyes have been following him for the past few days. , how could it not be found.

He slowly covered the lid of the cup and handed it to the other waiters. He even washed the utensils before turning his head abruptly, and met Wei Ping who had no time to turn his head.

Being caught suddenly, Wei Ping was embarrassed for a moment, but she was not an ordinary person, she calmed down after a little adjustment, and walked over generously under Li Ting's puzzled gaze.

"Well... I happened to have something to ask you," Wei Ping said, pulling out a piece of paper from the side. "It's like this. There will be an event in the store next month."

She said while looking at Li Ting, the two had worked together for dozens of days, Li Ting was so withdrawn, Wei Ping was also a proud person, so for so long, the two hadn't had close formal contact with each other, Wei Ping only had a stereotyped impression of Li Ting, mostly from what her colleagues, Qian Kun, Wang Fuliang and the others said, so that Wei Ping was so surprised when she learned about Fang Huailing's secret.

In fact, whether Li Ting is good or bad, or whether Fang Huai Ning likes men or women, it is not their turn to talk, let alone agree, so Wei Ping directly skipped this layer of psychological activities, and the rest is all Curious about Li Ting, based on her understanding of Fang Huai Ning, the top brand's taste is not curious, does not take the edge of the sword, and does not have the rebellious symptoms of the second year. On the contrary, he has high requirements for the quality of life, and does not easily compromise or settle. , the goal is clear, and life is never allowed to be ambiguous, so what charm does Li Ting have that can make this old pagoda tree, which has been bored in the deep mountains and old forests for 21 years, only grow tall and not sprout? !this is the key of the problem.

And after looking at it like this, Wei Ping realized that Li Ting is indeed good-looking in terms of appearance alone, with extremely beautiful features, a combination of the delicacy of girls and the handsomeness of boys, if it weren't for the usual cold face and doing things that spoil the public's impression , she must be very popular just because of her looks.

"what?"

After seeing Wei Ping for a long time, Li Ting had to ask with a frown.

It's just this expression, even the slightest negligence, his face is full of impatience and condescension, it's no wonder that others avoid him, it's really reckless.

Wei Ping beat her chest in her heart, but she said kindly on the face: "Oh, next month, the store will hold a Singles' Day event. We are going to make an appointment and arrange it from now on. We will provide preferential measures for specific customers on that day. Because the boss said Yes, our employees can also participate, so now we need to count the number of people, that is...the number of single people, you understand? At that time, small gifts will be given out on the day of the festival to show comfort."

Although Wei Ping didn't know the ins and outs of Fang Huaining and Li Ting's relationship, just by looking at their personalities, one could guess that they were still in a half-dead relationship. .

"So? You just need to say whether you are a circle or a cross." Seeing Li Ting's silence, Wei Ping urged again, "The gift is not bad, our boss is not a stingy person."

Li Ting seemed to think for a moment, then said: "Circle."

"Circle? Single?" Wei Ping confirmed again.

Li Ting nodded.

Wei Ping smiled, and was about to take a pen to record, when she suddenly stopped.

"Hey, no, I think it's too early for me to ask this question now. There is still more than a month before Singles' Day, maybe the situation will change, right? After all... love comes as fast as a tornado ~~~"

It was Li Ting who asked the question, but Wei Ping turned around and left while singing as if she had already got the answer.

"I can't escape without the storm circle~~~ Don't think about it~ Don't think about it, oh~~~~~"

Li Ting: "..."

Chapter 38 Appreciation It is also good to appreciate the life that survived the season that should not grow.

Fang Huaining went to the Planning and Science Association again. While helping the juniors, he took out his mobile phone and went to the small ranch.

Xiaocaifan's recent accounts are very monotonous. Most of the content is about how many pigs and rabbits I bought today, and how many more pigs and rabbits I plan to buy tomorrow. But there is also good news, that is, the frequency of vegetable buns has also dropped. I don't know if it's because he found other food to deal with.Thinking of this, Fang Huai Ning was annoyed why she forgot to mention the working meal to the foreman before.

Today, Li Ting was on shift in the afternoon, Fang Huaining started to play the game while wondering if he would have time to go to Hyacinth Cottage at night.Ever since Big Grapefruit's list was swept by Mr. L, Mr. F was surprised and not in a hurry to take back the top spot immediately. On the contrary, he enjoyed the fun of chasing, getting closer every day until zero distance.

Playing the car to nine thousand and ninety-nine, Fang Huai Ning ended the game, looking at the [-] points of Mr. L at the top, Mr. F happily pressed save, and silently opened another mini-game to continue to record.

When a few students from the Computer Science and Technology Association came in, they saw a thick stack of original documents in their hands. He was looking down at his mobile phone and books, paying special attention.

The juniors naturally thought that he was studying academics and didn't dare to disturb him. It wasn't until Fang Huaining cleaned the trays and put down the things in his hands that someone came to ask questions.

It was the kid named Zhou Mingcheng. Fang Huai Ning noticed that Li Ting's younger brother was also here today, but he didn't come forward, just sat in the distance and looked at him with a smile.

Of course, Fang Huai Ning is not the only big boss in the association. Some masters and doctoral students will also come to help regularly. Today, a senior came here. Fang Huai Ning arrived a little later. As soon as he entered the door, he pointed to the book in his hand and said in surprise: "Hey , This... so it's here with you, I've been looking for it for a long time! How much have you read?"

Fang Huai Ning said, "It's almost finished."

The senior was in a complicated mood: "When did you borrow it? My borrowed books are all full, and I haven't finished reading the ones in my hand. I'm afraid that you will borrow them if you pay them back. Huai Ning, let's discuss it. You can wait for this book." Is it okay after I read it? I will soon."

Fang Huai Ning thought about the strange origins of these books, thought for a while and nodded: "Sure, I'm not in a hurry."

Although his mind is full of other things now, it doesn't mean that he has forgotten about it. If it was just an ordinary suitor, maybe he wouldn't care about it at all, but Fang Huaining rarely has an intuition that this matter is not right. Simple.Since no one told him, it can only let the matter surface by itself.

The earliest book was borrowed by the mysterious person before the summer vacation. The deadline should be more than two months, but now it is already October, and the borrowing time has passed. If Fang Huailing does not return the book, the perpetrator will always be in a hurry , and when the other party is in a hurry, they can only come to find themselves.

and so……

Fang Huailing's fingertips lingered on the writing.

Who is this caring person?Should know soon.

……

During the group discussion, Fang Huaiming went downstairs to buy water. In fact, he hesitated whether to simply run away and bring back a cup of pudding milk tea, but there was still data in the machine that was about to run out at any time waiting for him to process, so he was not allowed to be half-hearted In the end, Fang Huailing had to go to the supermarket to solve the problem.

Before entering the door, I met Zhou Mingcheng and the others again. Knowing the needs of the top card, this clever junior insisted on running errands for him.Fang Huai Ning was reluctant at first, but Li Han also spoke up, the enthusiasm was hard to resist.

Zhou Mingcheng left in a hurry, leaving Fang Huaining and Li Han standing outside.Fang Huai Ning would not take the initiative to speak, and the task of opening the chatterbox of course fell on Li Han's head.

Li Han brilliantly found the starting point of the topic: "What happened last time... I have always wanted to thank Senior Fang, and today I have the opportunity."

Fang Huai Ning was inexplicable.

Li Han said: "I was drunk at the restaurant, please take me home."

Of course Fang Huai Ning had a deep memory of that day, but it was only after Li Han told him that he realized that everything started because this younger brother was drunk.

"Oh... it was your brother who sent you back, you should thank him." Fang Huaiming said, then remembered something, and glanced at Li Han lightly.

The person in front of me was helped into the house early that day. I don’t know if he heard about the family conflicts outside. Even if he didn’t know it at the time, Li Han should also know the real relationship between Li Ting and his family. What is the brother’s attitude towards this?

Li Han's expression was a little embarrassed: "Well, I know, I also want to thank him, but... my brother is too busy, I have been wanting to invite him to dinner and he is not free."

Fang Huai Ning agrees with this point: "He is very busy."

There was no special change in the tone he used, but if you listen carefully, you can feel a bit of helplessness, admiration and pity hidden in it.

Li Han has been an intern at the research institute for nearly two months, and has run a few times at the Association of Computer Science and Technology. Although the number of times he met Fang Huai Ning is very small, every time the other party is admired by the stars, it is rare today. Fang Huai Ning answered her own words, and she still wanted to continue the chat, so Li Han was naturally happy.

Along the way: "Oh, my brother has such a temper. I suspect that he has severe obsessive-compulsive disorder of saving money. He has to be busy all day to feel at ease."

In fact, Li Han just said that casually, but Fang Huaining suddenly turned his head and looked at him coldly.

"If you can live a carefree life, who would really like to work hard?" Fang Huaiming said word by word.

Li Han was startled, and immediately felt that the other party was unhappy. Although he was puzzled, he explained quickly.

"I... I didn't mean that. In fact, in fact, my brother and I have a very good relationship, and he treats me very well. When he was in boarding junior high school, it was so far away, and I went to see him every two weeks. , only..." He wanted to emphasize that only I would go to see him, but he swallowed the latter after thinking about it.

These words really caught Fang Huai Ning's attention: "He went to junior high school far away?"

Li Han nodded.

"What about high school?"

Li Han said: "High school is the same as me, No. [-] Middle School in City A."

Fang Huai Ning was surprised. He himself was a member of No. [-] Middle School. No. [-] Middle School, which is famous for its rate of admission to higher education, is not as famous as No. [-] Middle School in City A, because people with rich background like to put their children there. There are many, and there are also many students who study. Although the school spirit is not very good, the students have a good future.Fang Huai Ning originally thought that Li Ting's high school should be average, but unexpectedly it was there, but no matter whether he is real or not, he should not have fallen into such a university, which does not meet the average level of No. [-] Middle School.Fang Huaiming didn't believe that Li Ting didn't work hard enough, or that he wasn't talented enough.

He looked at Li Han, and wanted to seek an answer, but the words stopped on the verge of his mouth.He shouldn't ask the person in front of him, even if he wants to know, he thinks Li Ting should tell him himself.

Li Han didn't hear what Fang Huai Ning said, so he could only smooth things over by himself: "My brother didn't have many friends after studying in junior high school, high school, and college, probably because he has a relatively independent personality, so I didn't expect you to have such a good relationship with him... "

Fang Huai Ning pursed her mouth slightly: "He and I... are in a normal relationship."

"Ah? Really?" Li Han was at a loss, and said intuitively, "I thought you two were already very familiar. Last time you helped me so much to send me home, my brother also asked you to help. He is obviously alone. You can handle me, even if your relationship is mediocre, I think my brother should appreciate Senior Fang very much, um... just like me."

The last sentence was an addition, and I was wondering if it was too direct, but Fang Huaining turned around and confirmed it.

"Is it?"

Li Han thought he was asking himself, so he nodded vigorously, and then he found that the dark cloud between Fang Huailing's eyebrows had dispersed a lot, and his face brightened.

Like happy?

Just as he was about to continue talking, Zhou Mingcheng came back with a drink.Because he was walking in a hurry, he almost bumped into other students passing by recklessly, and the black tea in the cup was splashed out.

Looking at the few drops of light red on Fang Huaining's cuff, Zhou Mingcheng was terrified. He didn't know the top card, but he knew that he was most afraid of getting dirty. Could it be that he was going to be cold?

In the end, the other party brushed off his sleeves without changing his expression, took the black tea, even thanked himself gently, and walked away.

Zhou Mingcheng was in a daze: "Fang, Senior Fang is too kind to me..."

Li Han: "I also feel..."

********

Achang sent a message saying that the fruit was ready to be picked, so Li Ting took the car to Shiyilu when he was not on duty.

Achang was the one who sold him watermelons last time. Li Ting had known him for a long time. When Li Ting was away in the past few years, he was almost always in charge of those fields.

October in City A is getting colder. In fact, it is already past the season of strawberry planting and harvesting, but Achang is used to it. Unlike other things, Li Ting is very perfect in everything. For this field, Liting planted very freely. Plant what you want to eat, share what you can harvest, and don’t force what you can’t harvest. Even if you can’t eat, it’s good to appreciate the life that survived the season that shouldn’t grow.

But as soon as he got there, Achang frowned and complained to Li Ting: "The fruit seems to have been picked a little bit."

Farmers are not surprised by this incident, but there are big companies built near here, and the quality of the staff inside is quite high. I didn’t expect this kind of thing to happen again, and there are large tracts of good fields not far away. In the past, there was an orchard more than ten meters away. You can see big fruits bearing on it here, which makes people too lazy to steal.

Listening to this, Li Ting knelt down to check on the strawberries. He didn't steal many strawberries, but because they didn't bear many fruits, the traces of one or two stems being chopped off in each canopy were particularly conspicuous.

In a blink of an eye, Li Ting looked at the muddy ground to one side, where there were a few shallow footprints. The patterns on the soles of the thief's soles were quite unique, and they were a good pair of shoes.

Li Ting withdrew his gaze, stood up and said, "It's okay, pick up the rest, leave some for me, and you can take the rest."

Achang let out an "oh", and started to work hard with his hands, but he was still puzzled in his heart...

Who the hell wants to steal such an unpalatable fruit?Come back again?What's your heart?
