Together we are the world

Chapter 5 The Flying Knife of Life
【Xiao Yi, don't say good night, I won't be able to sleep. 】

Shen Mi stood on the steps, Xiao Yi blocked her against the wall, the corridor was dark, only the moonlight came in through the window below.

Her scream still echoed in the corridor, but her mental activities seemed to have been going on for centuries.

In the darkness, his eyes looked over.

Shen Mi heard herself swallowing in a panic, followed by the sound of the door opening on the fifth floor above her head.

The aunts in the community are all very concerned about the relationship between neighbors, and at the same time they are also very warm-hearted. Probably hearing her scream, they quickly opened the door and asked, "Who is it? What happened?"

An old voice sounded, and when the door was opened, the light leaked out and shone through the cracks in the stairs. Shen Mi and Xiao Yi let go of each other almost at the same time, as if they had been caught doing something shameful.

Shen Mi hurriedly shouted: "It's okay! The heel is broken!"

"Oh!" The aunt closed the door.

He stood opposite and looked at her, the light was too dark, Shen Mi was flustered and short of breath, and couldn't see his expression clearly, she squatted down and quickly took off the culprit's high-heeled shoe, then took off the other one, and put it on the He tapped his hand, smiled stiffly, and eased the embarrassment: "Haha! This broken shoe! Broken shoe!"

Xiao Yi turned around and went upstairs, walking in front of her.

"Be careful next time." I don't know if it was an illusion, but his words were hasty and short, as if he couldn't supply his breath.

"Yeah." Shen Mi went upstairs barefoot, for some reason, she lowered her head and wanted to laugh.

The uncontrollable feeling of wanting to laugh is like watching the most exciting scene of an idol drama, just wanting to smirk hard, a bit of a nympho.

Anyway, she was behind him, so he couldn't see her.

Xiao Yi didn't seem to feel uncomfortable because of the episode just now, he sent her home as if nothing had happened, didn't ask to come in, just said goodbye and left.

As soon as Shen Mi closed the door, holding the shoes, she suddenly laughed like a little lunatic, and then laughed uncontrollably.

"Hoohoho!"

"Hahahaha!"

Her smile was a bit abnormal, but she was very happy. She still took the two shoes and walked around the living room, followed by another smirk.

She rushed to the sofa with her shoes in her arms, rolled around, and then rolled around again, lying on her back and kicking her legs high, as if she was in a mountain bike race.

Tired of tossing and tossing, she finally stopped, pressed her face against the back of the sofa, suppressed the corners of her mouth forcefully, but still burst out laughing.

"Pfft!" She laughed exaggeratedly, and then suddenly sat up expressionlessly!
"Shen Mi! Hold back!" She said seriously to herself.

But in the next second, another excited nympho appeared in his body, and he said happily: "I can't hold back, hahaha!"

Shen Mi felt that she was going crazy.It's almost bubbling too.

The next day was a sunny day. She woke up early in the morning and opened the mobile app for job hunting, hoping to find a job that sits in an office from [-] to [-], even if the salary is very low.But ten human resources assistants were voted for, and only one wrote back to her, saying that the personnel position was full, and asked her if she was interested in doing sales.

Shen Mi thought of her experience in sales, it was simply horrible, her character really couldn't sell anything, so she rejected this company.

After doing a big cleaning, the time came in the afternoon, Shen Mi made some cakes, but she didn't finish eating, there was a lot left.She suddenly remembered the aunt who opened the door on the fifth floor last night, so she packed the cake, took it downstairs, and knocked on the door.

Auntie opened the door and saw Shen Mi, her eyes were full of strangeness, but she greeted warmly: "Hello."

Shen Mi smiled sweetly: "Hello, Auntie, I'm new here on the sixth floor. I twisted my foot last night and I'm bothering you."

Auntie looked at Shen Mi and smiled amiably: "You are new here, we will be neighbors from now on, we need to help each other and take care of each other."

Shen Mi smiled and nodded: "Auntie, that's what I mean. I'm alone and my parents are gone, so please take care of me in the future. I made this cake myself. You can try it."

This is the first time she communicated with people like this. Although it seemed abrupt, she hesitated for a long time before deciding. She was alone, and she had to establish a good relationship with her neighbors. Otherwise, if something urgent happened, she really couldn't find anyone. .And the uncles and aunts in this community are very enthusiastic, Shen Mi feels that the neighbors downstairs are no exception.

Auntie was a little surprised: "Hey, look, I thought you young people lived their own lives and didn't have the concept of neighbors. It's rare for you to be so friendly. My surname is Chang. Just call me Auntie Chang. From now on Come and play more, and come to me if you have any questions. My daughter is about your age."

A few words from Aunt Chang revealed that she has good social skills, but she didn't invite Shen Mi to sit at home, which may be due to her precautions.Shen Mi talked enthusiastically for a few words, then went upstairs and went home.

First time a stranger, second time acquaintance, when neighbors always need help, although Shen Mi blushes a little at this kind of proactive communication, she is very happy in her heart.

As soon as he got home, Liu Beibei called.

"Brother Beizi, is there something wrong?"

Liu Beibei came up and said, "Mimi, I haven't found a suitable job yet, but my brother found you a very good part-time job. Are you interested?"

Shen Mi was taken aback: "Are you looking for a job for me?"

Liu Beibei said: "Ah, Xiao Yi specially called me this morning and asked if I have a suitable nine-to-five job to contact you. Didn't you tell me?"

"I?"

Xiao Yi "specially" asked Liu Beibei to find her a job?Shen Mi's heart warmed up, and the corners of her mouth slowly raised.

He really has a heart.

"I really want to find a job, but money is a little tight recently."

Liu Beibei said bluntly: "Okay, brother will definitely pay attention to you, but now there is a job that pays 300 yuan a day, do you want to do it?"

"Do it! But is it reliable?" Liu Beibei was with her, but he had a "conviction record".

"Absolutely reliable! Don't worry, a crew of a doctor drama is recruiting extras. The requirement is a bit special. The hair must be long and beautiful. Can I leave such a good job to others? I will be the first one. It reminds me of Mimi's black and beautiful curly hair."

When Shen Mi heard it, she thought it was okay: "Okay, if it's okay, I'll treat you to dinner."

Liu Beibei said, "Hey, no need! It should be!"

"That's no good, you help me find a house and I haven't invited you yet! This meal must be eaten!"

The next day, Shen Mi went to the set, observed vigilantly for a while, and felt that the crew was really reliable.

This is a drama about young doctors. The director was invited from Hong Kong. In order to show the friendship between young doctors and patients, the drama specially arranged a plot of a young female patient suffering from leukemia.

After reporting, after waiting for a long time, someone came to give Shen Mi a play.

"Yo! This big curly hair is really beautiful!" The assistant director came over, smiled friendly, and showed the script to Shen Mi, "The young female patient you played has leukemia, and she has black and beautiful hair. Beautiful hair, but the raging disease forced her to cut it off. She couldn't do it by herself, so the young doctor cut it for her, that's the plot."

When Shen Mi heard it, she took a step back in fright: "Ah? Cut your hair! I don't, I don't! No, absolutely not!"

The assistant director smiled: "Little girl, I don't really want to cut your hair! We will put a wig in your hair, and the doctor can just cut the wig when you cut it!"

After hearing what he said, Shen Mi was relieved: "I was scared to death, if you ask me to cut my hair, I will die."

The assistant director smiled: "Young people, don't die and live at every turn, act well! Come on!"

"Yeah, I'll do my best!"

At the beginning of the play, Shen Mi was a little nervous. The Hong Kong director was sitting behind the machine with a serious look. Many people were facing her with lights and cameras. Doctors and nurses in white coats surrounded the hospital bed. Shen Mi’s mouth A layer of foundation was painted on his face, lying on a hospital bed with a tube inserted in his nose, like a dead body being paid homage to.

Before the director called to start, someone came over and put a lot of eye drops on Shen Mi. The director said "the group performers close their eyes", and Shen Mi obediently closed their eyes.

When the shooting started, Shen Mi's long hair like seaweed was scattered on the pillow, looking so beautiful.She opened her eyes weakly, and a tear fell from the corner of her eye.

"Cut it! Cut my hair! Don't let me see it fall out, cut it!"

Shen Mi said her lines, but she was slandering in her heart: Which brainless screenwriter wrote this script?It's not necessary to show the doctor's benevolence and benevolence, right?Don't doctors and nurses have to work to watch a little girl cut her hair?
She has never seen any doctor who is so considerate when she grows up.

"Xiaoqi, we have known each other for so many years, but what I like the most is your beautiful hair." The male doctor stroked her forehead affectionately.

Oh, it turns out that the doctor and the patient are friends.

Shen Mi closed her eyes and shed a tear.

Then she heard the sound of scissors, and her heart beat fast, as if the scissors were about to stab her, but she must not open her eyes.

Click, the male doctor cut off a section of her hair.

"Cut!" The very serious Hong Kong director spoke, "The female patient played her nervous emotions very well, please continue, male doctor, are you from a hair salon?"

"When I came up, I didn't hesitate to cut his hair! Give me your trembling! Give me your intolerance! OK?"

The male actor was scolded by the director, a little embarrassed: "Director, come on again, I will put emotions into it."

"Continue." Following the director's order, Shen Mi acted again——

"Cut it! Cut my hair! Don't let me see it fall out, cut it!"

The male doctor hesitated, picked up the scissors and cut off a section of her hair.

"Cut!" said the Hong Kong director, "Hands are shaking! Trembling! Make up a close-up!"

The male actor was a little nervous: "Oh! Good."

Shen Mi still didn't dare to open her eyes, only heard the sound of sharp scissors ringing in her ears.

"Crack!"

The shot was added again, and there was another "click".

In the end, I took five shots and finally passed.

Shen Mi sat up like a corpse!Touch your hair now!

Something is wrong!Something is wrong!She brought so many wigs, why is her head still heavy after cutting it?
She rushed to the mirror of the fire hydrant, and kept flicking through the hair, and found that the wigs were intact, and all the actor cut off was her hair!
Shen Mi quickly took off her hair, and looked in the mirror. The thick strands of hair on her left had turned into ears, while the hair on her right was still in beautiful big waves, which made her look like a monster!

Shen Mi was so angry that she couldn't believe her eyes!

The crew started filming other scenes. Shen Mi stood alone in front of the fire hydrant in the corridor of the hospital set, took out her mobile phone tremblingly, and dialed Liu Beibei's number.

Liu Beibei's joyful voice came: "How is it? Is the filming over? I'm with Xiao Yi, we are both looking forward to your big meal! By the way, bring your little sister Yang Yuxi too?"

As Liu Beibei spoke, he even whistled with his tongue.

Shen Mi was about to explode with anger, her voice was trembling because of helplessness and surprise: "Something happened to me... something happened to me..."

"What happened to you? What happened?" Liu Beibei asked vigilantly.

Shen Mi raised her head, looked at herself in the glasses, her nose was sore, she suddenly cried out in despair: "I, I, my hair... My hair is gone!"

"Hey hey? Don't cry! We are on the way! We will be there soon!"

Shen Mi hung up the phone, squatted down next to the fire hydrant and buried her head in tears.

"Woooooooo..."

Her cry was not loud, but she was extremely sad.

Sitting in the car, Xiao Yi and Liu Beibei really thought something had happened.Shen Mi was crying on the phone, and she couldn't articulate her words clearly. Liu Beibei only heard "I've had an accident".When she called Shen Mi again, Shen Mi stopped answering.

"What happened?" Xiao Yi sat in the co-pilot, his thick black eyebrows frowned.

"I don't know! I'm just crying there! I don't even answer the phone! I'm so anxious!" Seeing Xiao Yi's serious eyes, Liu Beibei immediately swore, "Heaven and earth conscience! The assistant director of this crew is my university. Classmate! Absolutely regular! He’s serious about filming TV dramas! And I asked what he was acting in, and he said he was playing a female patient! Listen, what’s wrong with it!”

Xiao Yi raised his hand and asked him to drive, feeling a little impatient.

Liu Beibei jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash himself away: "I'm really reliable this time!"

Xiao Yi lowered the car window, and skillfully took out a cigarette case from his trouser pocket, tapped it lightly with his fingertips, and a cigarette popped out, he picked it up, lit it in his mouth, and puffed.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Liu Beibei thought he was angry, and quickly said, "It's okay, something happened and I smashed the crew! I have a guy in the trunk!"

Xiao Yi remained silent, smoking a cigarette, lowered his head, found Shen Mi's number on his phone, and dialed it.

"The call you have made is temporarily unavailable."

Liu Beibei held the steering wheel and glanced at him: "What's wrong?"

"No one answered." Xiao Yi replied.

The corners of Liu Beibei's eyes instantly wrinkled into two folding fans.

Xiao Yi's smoke filled the car, and Liu Beibei didn't smoke, so he opened the window a little wider.

Liu Beibei turned his head and glanced at him cautiously, while Xiao Yi stared straight ahead expressionlessly, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if smoked.

Liu Beibei coughed and said, "Let me tell you, if something really happens in a while, you can't do it because of me."

With a cigarette in his mouth, Xiao Yi took out his wallet and looked through it.

"Did you hear that?" Liu Beibei was anxious, "Don't you know what your identity is?"

Xiao Yi nodded.

Liu Beibei said: "This Shen Mi is really your favorite? What is the relationship between you two?"

"Debt relationship."

"Love debt?"

When Xiao Yi and Liu Beibei arrived, Shen Mi answered the phone. In fact, the setting of this hospital is not big, it is a special scene building. They didn't take two steps before seeing Shen Mi walking out of the women's toilet listlessly. .

She was wearing a hospital gown, pulling blue plastic slippers, and wearing her own red dress on her head. Her eyes were a little hollow, her eyes were slightly swollen, and there were two white tear stains on her small face, which was covered with the crew's foundation, like being crushed on a dirt road. The two wheels that passed.The lips are also pale and colorless, and I can only see it when I get close. It turns out that the lips are also painted with foundation.

Shen Mi had a look of lovelessness on her face, and she looked sideways at Liu Beibei faintly, Liu Beibei felt deep malice.

"What's wrong?" Liu Beibei asked.Xiao Yi stood beside him, looking down at her with his hands in his pockets.

As soon as Shen Mi spoke, she became a little dumb: "I lost my hair."

Liu Beibei frowned: "He lost his hair? How did you do it?"

Shen Mi had feelings for him, but she couldn't blame him when she thought about it, so she lowered her head, sighed and said, "I agreed to cut the wig for filming, the male actor is a newcomer, and he was scolded by the director. I was too nervous, so I cut it." wrong."

After Shen Mi finished speaking, she looked up, and the expressions on the faces of the two men visibly relaxed.

Only then did she realize that Liu Beibei was holding a long object in his hand, which was wrapped with cloth. From the outside, it looked like a long piece of iron, but it had a handle.

"Hey, that's all?" Liu Beibei breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled at Xiao Yi, "I thought I was going to come out of the rivers and lakes again!"

Xiao Yi showed no expression, put the cigarette in his mouth, hooked his hand at her, and said, "What kind of cut is it? Let me see."

Shen Mi took a step back: "I don't! It's like a dog gnawing on me!"

With a cigarette in his mouth, Xiao Yi took a step forward, pulling the cover off her head without any explanation.Shen Mi refused, but her strength was not as strong as his, so Xiao Yi took off her clothes with three strokes.

Shen Mi's hairstyle, short on the left, long on the right, less on the right, was instantly exposed to the air, and the static electricity generated by a few wisps of friction rang in her ears. Shen Mi felt that she must be like a lunatic with blown hair at this moment.She was dissatisfied with Xiao Yi's rudeness, so she let out a "hum", and turned around with her arms folded.

What catches your eyes!

Xiao Yi reluctantly walked to her side again, he was too tall, bent slightly, leaned over with a handsome face, looked her up from bottom to top, Shen Mi glared at him again, and turned around again in displeasure.

Xiao Yi's expression became frivolous, but when Shen Mi looked up, his expression immediately turned serious again.

"It's ugly," he said.

"It's up to you!" Shen Mi was already in a bad mood, but his words made her heart chill into the ice cellar.

Maybe men can't understand how important a well-maintained hair is to girls.

In Shen Mi's memory, she had cut her hair short once since she was a child.It was when she was in the third year of junior high school. She was not good at studying, and her father asked her to find a relationship and put her in a key class. The head teacher of the key class was very strict about girls' love of beauty. At the beginning, she was not allowed to wear patterned headbands. Later, colored hair bands were also not acceptable. During the scorching summer, which was [-] days before the senior high school entrance examination, the teacher simply asked all the girls in the class to cut their hair short.

That was the only time she had her hair cut short.

Men don't understand at all that the sadness of having their hair cut off is not much more comfortable than cutting their flesh.

Shen Mi was very angry.If it was before, she would definitely make a fuss, but she was afraid to go to the production crew to make a fuss. They didn't pay her wages, so she squatted in the toilet and cried for half an hour.

She didn't want to talk to the two of them anymore, so she turned around and left, but her wrists were grabbed by a pair of hands. When she lowered her head, she saw Xiao Yi's hand holding hers through the fabric of the hospital gown.

He dragged her to the direction of the filming set, his steps were a bit long, Shen Mi staggered in her slippers.She felt a little fuzzy in her heart, and asked uneasily: "Xiao Yi! Why are you dragging me there?"

Xiao Yi said lightly, "Check out."

It was the lunch break time at this time, and the shooting in the morning had already been finished, and the staff stopped work one after another.With sharp eyes, Liu Beibei spotted the assistant director from the crowd at a glance, and shouted from afar: "Old Wang! Wang Wengang!"

The assistant director stopped, saw that it was Liu Beibei, and showed a friendly smile: "Yo, Beizi, are you here?"

Liu Beibei carried the iron sheet leisurely, and also laughed: "I said, old Wang, my friend will shoot a scene for you. She is a pretty girl, and you have caused your hair to become like this? Look. My boyfriend feels distressed."

Xiao Yi grabbed Shen Mi's shoulders and looked at the assistant director with a sullen face.

The assistant director was taken aback, looked at Shen Mi again, and then smiled apologetically: "Ah, I heard that the girl didn't make a fuss about the actor's mistake, and ran away after the performance, and we didn't find anyone."

Beizi said, "Where can we run away? We haven't settled the money yet!"

The assistant director said: "Okay, come in, let's go into the room and talk."

There were staff members who were eating in the room. Deputy Director Wang said something to someone. That person might be in charge of finances. He raised his head and looked at Shen Mi. Assistant Director Wang wrote a receipt. After some final discussions , Finance got an envelope for me.

Deputy Director Wang handed the envelope to Liu Beibei and said, "It's just a little meaning, I'm really sorry girl."

Liu Beibei took the envelope, and when he saw that there were three thousand, he winked at Xiao Yi and handed it to him.

Xiao Yi didn't need to open the envelope, he could tell how much it was by feeling the thickness, the other party had a good attitude, and he was Liu Beibei's buddy, so there was nothing to say.

Liu Beibei asked, "What about the actor?"

The assistant director pointed: "Next door."

"Thank you, Old Wang."

Shen Mi followed the two men in a daze to the door of another room.

Although this actor is a rookie in acting, he is a popular singer. He and his team ate alone in a room.

Xiao Yi originally wanted to go in, but was stopped by Liu Beibei. He smiled and said, "Oh, don't worry, I can handle it. You take Mimi to get your hair done first, and I'll call you later."

Xiao Yi thought for a while, then nodded.Pulling Shen Mi out, Liu Beibei opened the door and went in by himself.

"You just dragged me to rush over. I thought you were so powerful, but in the end you left Brother Beizi and ran away." Sitting in the passenger seat, Shen Mi vented her depression on Xiao Yi in a muttering voice. .

Xiao Yi only drove without speaking, and casually threw an envelope to her. Shen Mi opened the envelope and saw that there were three thousand in it.

If it was before, if someone said that her hair was only worth three thousand, Shen Mi would definitely roll her eyes at him.But at this moment, she just blinked and said, "My hair is so expensive, so this is the compensation, right?"

"It's not over." Xiao Yi said calmly, looking ahead.

Shen Mi's heart skipped a beat, and she stuffed the money back into the envelope, the expression on her face was not so bad anymore.

He drove her to one of the most famous hairdressing salons in the city and stopped the car at the door.Shen Mi once brought Yang Yuxi here once, and Yang Yuxi was too scared to come here for a haircut again because it was too expensive.

Xiao Yi saw that she was still refusing to take off her seat belt, so he was a little impatient: "Let's go, get out of the car."

Shen Mi clutched the seat belt with a very reluctant expression on her face, but she was afraid that Xiao Yi would lose patience with her and feel that she was hypocritical, so she slowly unbuckled the seat belt.

I don't want to cut my hair...

Still hoping it was a nightmare.

The two entered the hairdressing salon, the receptionist was very warm and thoughtful, Shen Mi didn't say a word, Xiao Yi said to find the most expensive and best teacher.

Finally, a chief designer named Kevin came out and warmly welcomed them into a private room. Shen Mi sat down in front of the luxurious mirror and was surrounded by a cloth covering.

"What do you want to cut, ma'am?" the designer asked kindly.

Shen Mi didn't speak for a long time, Xiao Yi who was sitting on the sofa smoking a cigarette said, "Shorter, better looking."

The designer made a few jokes about Shen Mi's bad hair, and then started to use the scissors.

clack clack...

Shen Mi suddenly remembered the only time she was forced to cut her hair in the third year of junior high school.

At that time, her father doted on her so much, knowing that her daughter likes long hair the most, he went to the school to find the head teacher and stuffed a big red envelope, so only Shen Mi didn't cut her hair among all the girls in the class.

Once, when Shen Mi went back to her class to pick up her school uniform during inter-class exercises, she heard a few girls on duty talking ill of her in the classroom.

She always attracts criticism when she doesn't do anything, as if she has a topic of her own.Shen Mi secretly looked at the girls who spoke ill of her from the back door, among them were the front and back tables that she was close to.

Later, Shen Mi asked her father to take her to have her hair cut, and she cried while cutting, breaking her father's heart——

"Oh my little princess, why are you bothering? If you don't want to cut it, don't cut it!"

"Woooooo... cut it, cut it to be as short as the girls in our class. Woooooo..."

Dad sighed: "Mimi, don't compete with yourself, what is great? It doesn't mean that you can do what you want to do, but you can't do what you don't want to do. That's called great! Dad is amazing! With Dad here, What are you afraid of!"

"Oh, ma'am, why are you crying?" the barber stopped.

Shen Mi was sobbing, tears streaming down her face, just like the tragic heroine in a movie who was forced to shave or become a monk.

The barber didn't dare to move anymore, he turned his head and glanced at Xiao Yi on the sofa in embarrassment.

Xiao Yi looked at Shen Mi through the mirror, she closed her eyes, sniffed aggrievedly, crying so hard that her heart broke.His cheeks moved, he stood up, walked to Shen Mi's side, and told the designer with a blank expression: "Cut."

The designer's scissors moved quickly again.

"Woo..." Shen Mi finally couldn't help making a trembling sound.

Shen Mi didn't even take a look at how the hair was cut in the end.

The barber made a girlish surprise, and kept asking Xiao Yi if he looked good.Xiao Yi said: "It's very pretty, Shen Mi, take a look in the mirror."

Shen Mi is a bit stubborn when she gets excited, she hangs her head down in a low mood, no matter how coaxed they are, she doesn't even look at her until the barber has nothing to do and removes the cloth cover from her body.

A hairdressing salon that provides red wine must be very expensive, Shen Mi is naturally not in the mood to drink any red wine, and just wants to leave this place early.She quickly went to the front desk to check out, and when she heard the price, she felt the feeling of "meat pain" for the first time in her life.

But there was no other way, she still took out the envelope that Xiao Yi gave her, and wanted to pay, but the receptionist said that someone had already paid for it.

Seeing Xiao Yi who followed, Shen Mi took out the money from the envelope and handed it over: "Xiao Yi, here it is."

It seemed that Xiao Yi hadn't gotten used to her hairstyle for a while, and his eyes were always fixed on her hair. Shen Mi subconsciously turned her head away, still clutching the money in her hand and insisting on giving it to him.

Xiao Yi said, "What are you doing?"

"It's so expensive, I can't let you spend it." Shen Mi said.

Xiao Yi suddenly put his arms around her shoulders, stroked her hair affectionately, and led her out.

Shen Mi was taken aback by his actions, she leaned into his arms and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter? Why don't you want the money?"

She remembered that the first time she had dinner with him, he wouldn't even pay for a bowl of noodles.

Pushing open the door of the salon, the two of them walked towards Liu Beibei's car with an extremely enthusiastic farewell sound, and Xiao Yi let her go.

Maybe it was because she looked so pitiful, Xiao Yi spoke to her very gently today, not as blunt as usual.

"Why is there no tacit understanding at all? When I came here, everyone thought I was your boyfriend. How can a boyfriend let his girlfriend spend money?" Xiao Yi opened the car door for her and motioned her to go in.

Shen Mi has never enjoyed this kind of treatment from him. In her impression, Xiao Yi is a cold, arrogant and petty man.

Shen Mi's eyes were red, she looked at him who got into the driver's seat, and said, "I can't let you spend so much money."

Xiao Yi smiled: "I made an agreement with the beauty at the front desk that it was your birthday, and she told the boss that I am her cousin, and she will pay me the internal employee price, which is not much."

Shen Mi curled her lips: "You are really good, you can recognize a cousin in the time it takes me to cut my hair."

Xiao Yi raised one eyebrow: "What? Look down on the wisdom of working people?"

Shen Mi quickly waved her hands, narrowed her slightly swollen eyes kindly, and smiled as if she was crying: "No, no, you are the face value of our team, I am just proud and happy for you."

Xiao Yi's expression was relieved, obviously satisfied with this conclusion, he nodded: "It's just as long as you are happy."

Xiao Yi spent the whole afternoon with Shen Mi and didn't eat. Shen Mi asked him to have lunch, and Xiao Yi naturally agreed.She called Liu Beibei, and Liu Beibei pressed the button, and sent a text message saying that they should eat first without waiting for him.

The two of them drove to a fairly affordable western restaurant and ordered two steaks and some pastries.Today Xiao Yi wore a white T-shirt with vertical stripes, dark blue cropped slacks, and a pair of ordinary white low-top shoes on his feet. He should not be expensive at all.But he's tall, good-looking, and looks trendy.

He was sitting opposite her cutting steak, and Shen Mi found some red rashes on his neck and arms.

"What's wrong with you?" Shen Mi pointed to those red rashes.

Xiao Yi put a piece of steak into his mouth. His teeth were fine and he ate deliciously. He looked used to it and asked, "Have you developed a rash?"

Shen Mi nodded and frowned: "Are you allergic to ultraviolet rays?"

"Sun rash."

"Ah, then why didn't you hold an umbrella?"

He chewed the food in his mouth, took a sip of red wine, and said lightly: "I'm scared to death by you, how can I have time to open an umbrella."

Shen Mi was startled.

The two looked at each other, it was Xiao Yi who noticed something was wrong first, and lowered his head to eat as if nothing had happened.

Shen Mi coughed lightly, and resolved the indescribable atmosphere in a normal way: "Sorry, I made you worry."

He continued to eat, and his tone was also polite: "It should."

Shen Mi lowered her head to eat, picked out all the carrots in the spaghetti, and put them on one side of the plate.

Xiao Yi seemed to be very curious about her new image, he always glanced at her casually, then looked away and continued to eat.

Shen Mi was indeed in a depressed mood, and she spoke very little.In the past when we were alone with Xiao Yi, Shen Mi was always the one to find something to talk about, but today she was really not in the mood, and the two of them ate their own food.

After eating, Xiao Yi drove her home.Shen Mi happened to be carrying a bag with a silk scarf on the handle today. She remembered that Xiao Xiao tied a silk scarf around his neck the day he set up a street stall, and Shen Mi couldn't help but untie the silk scarf.

She glanced at Xiao Yi who was concentrating on driving, and wanted to put it on for him, but she didn't dare to move the silk scarf as it was twisted and twisted between her fingers.What an embarrassment it would be if he politely refused when she proposed it.

As if she was trying to be nice to him.

I really envy when I was young, I would show my enthusiasm to whomever I wanted to be nice to, without worrying about whether the other party would accept it.

But now that she has grown up, she just cares about him purely, and she is struggling like she was afraid of wolves and tigers.

Is it because she has ghosts in her heart?Is it really just pure concern?

Shen Mi suddenly found out that once caring started, she couldn't stop.

It's the hottest time of the day, and the scorching sun shines into the carriage. The care in her heart finally defeated her cowardice.

Shen Mi turned to look at Xiao Yi: "I have a scarf here, how about you wear it around your neck?"

Xiao Yi hastily turned his head and glanced at the crumpled silk scarf wrapped around her fingers.

It was just this short moment of waiting for him to speak, Shen Mi always took a deep breath and couldn't let it go.

If Xiao Yi said "no need", she felt that her face would turn red like a crab.

However, he slowly parked the car on the side of the road.

"Well." He didn't refuse her.

"Shall I tie it for you or do you tie it yourself?" Shen Mi handed over the silk scarf, trying to make her voice sound polite.

Xiao Yi put his left hand on the steering wheel and turned half of his body: "I don't know how to do it."

"Oh, then let me help you." Shen Mi said seriously.

A few seconds later, seeing that she hadn't moved, Xiao Yi frowned: "Shen Mi, what are you thinking?"

Shen Mi let out an "ah", and quickly moved forward, stretching her hands towards his neck.Because of the seat belt, her movements are a bit clumsy and laborious.

Fortunately, after his breath gradually burned her cheeks red, she wrapped the silk scarf around his neck.

Xiao Yi is a real person, so close, and staring straight at her girl without shyness at all, making Shen Mi feel like a deer, thinking that he either really didn't regard her as a girl, or It was on purpose.

As it turns out, he appears to have done it on purpose.

"Why are you blushing?" he said suddenly.

"Ah?" Shen Mi hastily fastened a button for him, then sat back and rubbed her face, "Is there any?"

Xiao Yi's expression gradually became playful, probably because he was afraid that she would be teased and jumped out of the car window, so he gave her a step down and said, "Be patient, Beizi's jetta is broken, and the air conditioner is broken."

Shen Mi hurriedly followed his "steps" to open the window wide, Xiao Yi restarted the engine, a gust of wind came in, Shen Mi kept fanning her cheeks with both hands, pretending to be very hot: "Yes Ah, this broken car is like a small oven, I'm almost cooked!"

Shen Mi heard a chuckle from his throat.

I don't know if this smile was really amused by her words, or if it read through her mind.In short, it took a long time for Shen Mi's hot cheeks to cool down.

After sending her to Xiyanghong Community, Shen Mi got out of the car and waved to Xiao Yi who was sitting in the car. Xiao Yi pointed to a small vegetable stall at the entrance of the community and said, "Eat more carrots when you go back, it's good for your eyes." .”

Shen Mi smiled, he was still looking at her hair.

"I don't want to eat it! Carrots are too unpalatable!" Shen Mi said.

Xiao Yi drove away, still wearing her silk scarf around his neck, and did not take it off and return it to her.

Shen Mi held the bag in both hands, hanging in front of her skirt, took a deep breath, and relieved her depressed mood a lot.

She walked to the stall and really bought a catty of carrots.

After taking a shower at night, Shen Mi came out wearing a pink shower cap, turned off the TV, and took out a carrot from the refrigerator to chew. Although the taste was not used to it, Shen Mi reluctantly chewed it for the sake of her eyes.

Carrots, rabbits.

She rolled her eyes and smiled.

Opened WeChat, Nie Yongheng sent a message: "What are you doing?"

Shen Mi didn't return.

Not long after, Liu Beibei sent a WeChat message, which was a screenshot of Alipay.

Shen Mi opened her account, and after seeing the money, she immediately sent a voice message to Liu Beibei: "Brother Beizi, why did you ask for so much compensation? How did you ask for it?"

Liu Beibei said loudly: "Brother has a solution, you can take it, and let the girl be wronged today."

Shen Mi's heart tightened: "Brother Beizi, don't say that, you have helped me so much, I am really grateful, I take it all to heart."

After all, Liu Beibei is a big man who is not good at expressing, he only sent a rogue rabbit emoji.

Shen Mi thought for a while, and sent the screenshot of Liu Beibei's Alipay to Xiao Yi: "Xiao Yi, do you think Brother Beizi gave me the money from his own pocket?"

After waiting for a long time, Xiao Yi did not return.

Shen Mi went to blow dry her hair, and when she came back, Xiao Yi hadn't returned.

She pouted subconsciously and lay down under the blanket.Just about to fall asleep, WeChat rang, she opened it quickly, and there was a red circle next to Xiao Yi's profile picture.

For some reason, Shen Mi was inexplicably happy when she saw this circle next to his portrait.

Xiao Yi: "It's possible, he wants face."

Shen Mi: "Then what should I do? Shall I send it back to him?"

Xiao Yi: "No, you can just take it, it doesn't have much money."

Shen Mi hesitated for a long time, then sent a picture of a cartoon carrot: "Alright then."

Xiao Yi: "Have you eaten carrots?"

Shen Mi: "Yes, yes!"

Xiao Yi: "You are really obedient."

Shen Mi stared at these three words and forgot to reply.

After being in a daze for a long time, he probably saw that she didn't reply, and she didn't reply either.

Shen Mi was afraid that the conversation would end like this, so she hurriedly typed, but he preempted her.

Xiao Yi: "Good night."

Shen Mi lay on the pillow, staring at the screen, and forgot to type again.

For a long time, she resisted not answering him, but turned off the phone.

After turning off the light and lying on the bed, Shen Mi turned over and fell into darkness.

My heart was soft, but it was blank, like it was full of cotton.

Xiao Yi, don't say good night, I won't be able to sleep.
