Chapter 180 Lower and more obvious
After school in the morning, Lin An came to Anyuan Square.
In just a few days, Yang Wenmin shouted that he was going crazy, saying that Zhang Weishan and his group gave him another long list of equipment, all of which needed to be imported from abroad, or very expensive. If he bought it like this, Yang Wenmin wondered if An Yuan would also be dragged down by the institute.
While there was time, Lin An asked Yang Wenmin to come to Changxi. First, he discussed the funds needed for the LCD screen research, and second, he also comforted him and made Yang Wenmin mentally prepared. After all, it was just the beginning. When the research room was built and the equipment was bought, it was the most expensive time.
I had a short break at noon and I ate a box lunch in the office. Lin An lost his appetite after eating halfway through it.
After the meeting was over, it was already past three o'clock. I left the office area to see the crowds on the fifth floor, and then looked at the more crowded Tang Ji. He gave up his plan to go to eat and decided to wait and eat at Xiangzhu Hotel.
There are many people in lifting elevators and escalators. Lin An felt that there was nothing to do when he went back in the afternoon, so he walked slowly down the fifth floor along the circular walkway, and inspected the business conditions of these merchants who entered the business.
When he arrived at the third floor, he passed by a row of women's clothing stores and saw that it was raining outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows next to him. When he remembered, he put the umbrella in his hand and handed it to the office secretary to put it away before the meeting. After the meeting, he chatted with Yang Wenmin for a while. Before leaving, he didn't see the secretary and forgot about the umbrella.
After a sudden stop, Lin An was about to turn around and return to the fifth floor when he caught a familiar figure flashing through the shop next to him.
He walked over curiously and looked inside through the glass window. He was surprised to find that it was Ruan Ruan. The little guy turned his back to the window and was wearing a long brown tweed dress that he usually didn't wear, so he didn't recognize him at once.
I met in Xiangnan last Sunday, and I didn’t see Ruan Ruan much in the past two or three days. And I came back from the bus that day and couldn’t find the opportunity to talk to her. Last time I took the bus, she came to the middle to argue with him, but this time she lay down by the window early. Along the way, either focused on looking at the scenery outside the window or leaned on Tang Xiaonan’s shoulder to close her eyes to rest.
He was about to enter the store when he raised his foot and noticed that there was a girl about the same age as Ruan Ruan. Seeing the two of them talking, they probably knew each other well. Lin An took back his feet and stopped and turned around and looked left and right. This row was full of women's clothing stores, underwear stores, etc. Boys should rarely come here, especially when they were alone.
On the way to school or after school, I have never seen this girl and Ruan Ruan and Tang Xiaonan walk together. I think my home is not the same as them. I think that when Ruan Ruan and this girl leave the mall, they should be separated, or at most they will be separated at Shishui Bridge. He decided to go downstairs first, and wait for Ruan Ruan to "meet" when he gets down, and then he should be able to go back with Ruan Ruan along the way.
Lin An hurried downstairs and stood next to the city service desk near the gate. When he noticed that the people coming and going in the mall were holding umbrellas, he remembered that his umbrella was still on the fifth floor. It was too late to run up to get it, so he hurried into the market to buy a new umbrella. Then he came down from the second floor and happened to see Ruan Ruan walking out of the mall gate.
He hurriedly chased after him with a smile, lifted the wind shield at the door and walked out. When he saw clearly, he couldn't help but feel confused, and the world seemed to be circling.
In an orange umbrella that had just walked down the steps and was about to go away, two people stood with their backs, one big and one small. The small one was Ruan Ruan wearing the brown tweed jacket, while the other was a strange boy. The two were very close to each other. They hid their hands together through the shopping bags in the middle.
His heart seemed to be torn apart. Lin An felt his voice twisting and out of tune, not sure if he was shouting something. He staggered into the rain, jumped off the steps and caught up with the umbrella in three or two steps, and grabbed the little hand and pulled it back.
"Ah~ What do you want to do?"
"Who are you!"
When he met the strange girl who was frightened by this sudden incident, and when he met the strange boy who was stunned and glared at him angrily, Lin An was stunned on the spot and immediately reacted and quickly let go, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I recognized the wrong person!"
The other party stood in the rain and bent down sincerely to apologize. The two of them saw that they were really misunderstandings, and the other party apologized sincerely. They looked at Lin An like a crazy patient. Although they were unhappy, the two did not pursue the matter anymore, and then they left with an umbrella.
It’s not Ruan Ruan. I’m dizzy, so how could it be Ruan Ruan! However, this girl seemed to be the one who was visiting the shop with Ruan Ruan. The girl’s body shape was very similar to Ruan Ruan, and she was wearing the one Ruan Ruan just wore, so she accidentally mistakenly.
Lin An pressed his chest and felt amused, but he couldn't laugh at all. He had mistakenly thought it was Ruan Ruan, and the heart-wrenching pain still had not completely subsided.
He turned around in anger and saw a cracked hot drink falling from the steps in front of him. His eyes gradually moved up. He saw the little girl who was afraid of losing, wearing a pink down jacket, holding a light pink umbrella in one hand, and holding a drink cup in the other hand, looking blankly with her mouth wide open.
No!
Lin An stood stiffly, and saw Ruan Ruan on the steps immediately lowering his gaze. He grinned bitterly. Ruan Ruan probably didn't see the scene just now, right? With the drink that fell to the ground and the appearance of Ruan Ruan Ruan at this moment, is this possible!
The cleaning staff in the mall came out and cleaned up the drinks on the ground. Ruan Ruan was awakened and blushed and apologized, looking at Lin An who was standing below in the rain, and then looking at the distance, hesitating whether to run away immediately.
Gradually, when Ruan Ruan, who saw Lin An still standing in the rain, was so entangled that misty water appeared in her eyes, finally walked down the steps with a lowered face, raised her hand and covered the person in front of her with an umbrella.
Today I came to Anyuan to go shopping, but I didn’t find the sweater I like. Instead, Meng Lin, who came with me, picked a tweed coat. She planned to wait until she went shopping with Xiaonan before buying it.
When she got off the escalator and was buying drinks on the first floor, she met a male classmate in her class. Later, she saw Meng Lin shyly saying that she wanted to go back first and told her not to say it. Then she realized that Meng Lin and the male classmate walked away intimately.
It turns out that the rumors in the class that the two dated privately was true! However, she didn't have the time to care about other people's affairs! Both of them were obviously so young and were only in the first year of high school, but they were just...
When she noticed that Meng Lin and the male classmate secretly held hands together, she felt embarrassed when she saw it. After walking out of the mall, she hurriedly stood aside as if she had something to do, intending to wait for the two of them to leave before leaving. Meng Lin's house was on the other side of Shishui Bridge. If she just walked like this, she might have to walk to Shishui Bridge together, and she didn't want to.
Seeing the two of them walking down the steps with umbrellas, Ruan Ruan breathed a sigh of relief, and then the curtain next to her was suddenly lifted open. She saw that it was Lin An who ran out of breath.
Her cheeks were hot, and she nervously grabbed the hot drink in her hand. She was considering whether to say hello casually, but Lin An suddenly changed his face, shouted hoarsely, ran down, rushed behind Meng Lin and the male classmate, and grabbed Meng Lin's hand...
The raindrops kept beating the umbrella cloth, and it was a tendency to get bigger and bigger. Seeing Ruan Ruan raising his master to hold the umbrella with some effort, Lin An took the umbrella and saw Ruan Ruan lowering his hands, wishing he lowered his red face to his chest. He grabbed his wet head with distress.
"Let's go over there!" Looking around, Lin An pointed to a row of pavilions connecting the fountain to the distant street. This was opened by Anyuan Square in southern Hunan. It was not expensive and could attract more popularity.
It was raining and the weather was colder. There were people there? Several pavilions connected together, which were considered as a place to shelter from the rain. The privacy was better than standing in the square and living back to the mall.
Ruan Ruan's chest was undulating, but she couldn't breathe, but she didn't dare to breathe heavily. Her cheeks were so hot that she almost felt it. She twisted her toes nervously. When she heard Lin An make a sound, she glanced over, then panicked and lowered her little head, and replied in a short voice, "...Okay."
There are many people driving around the pavilion, but they all pass by in a hurry. In such seasons and weather, no one will come here to sit leisurely, and no one will come here to appreciate the unopened fountain. Even if you need to take shelter from the rain temporarily, you will go to the shopping mall not far away.
Walking into the pavilion, I led Ruan Ruan to sit on the dry stone platform beside him. Lin An felt that it was necessary to explain. He turned around and said to Ruan Ruan, who was hanging his eyes as if he was looking for something in front of his toes, "I saw you wearing that woolen garment before, and thought that girl was you!"
Seeing Ruan Ruan hang her little head lower when she heard the sound, Lin An patted her forehead speechlessly, and she was so confused. This explanation was not more obvious!
