It was July, and the sky was blue. The sun hung in the sky like a fireball. The clouds seemed to have been burned by the sun and disappeared without a trace. The sky without any clouds was the most terrifying. The temperature of the sun shone directly on the ground without weakening at all.
At around 11 o'clock in the afternoon, the temperature in the air had gradually risen, and the number of people walking outside had gradually decreased.
Su Qi was walking in the alley of this old residential building. Since the sun was not shining directly on him, the temperature in the alley was slightly lower than outside. There was also a breeze blowing from time to time, which made Su Qi feel a little more comfortable.
Su Qi took some cash and his phone and thought about where to buy ingredients. As for bringing cash, it was because some small vendors did not accept online banking, and the vegetables sold by small vendors were cheaper.
As for Su Qi, he had a lot of expenses, such as tuition fees, rent, and living expenses. These expenses were all dependent on him alone, so Su Qi usually chose some cheaper dishes. Although he would not fight with the hawkers for a few cents, he still lived very frugally.
However, it was different now. Because he had someone he loved, he could not be careless with the ingredients. Thus, when he reached the intersection of an alley, he resolutely chose a different path than before. At the same time, he put the few ten-dollar bills in his hand back into his pocket.
Although this road was rarely taken and basically never stepped on, Su Qi still remembered the road here clearly. After all, sometimes he would think about the day when he earned money and try a different life.
Now, although he did not earn any money, his life had changed. It was completely different from before. Every time he thought of this, the corners of Su Qi's mouth could not help but curl up. It was a happy arc.
Hey, Su Qi, why are you here?
A rough voice interrupted him. Su Qi was slowly savoring the change in his mind. He came back to his senses and subconsciously looked at the source of the voice.
Just as he turned his head, a rough hand reached over to grab Su Qi's shoulder, but Su Qi easily avoided it.
Yu Shang, why are you here? Su Qi felt a little strange. His roommate, who usually liked to work out in the gym next door to the school, would actually meet him here.
It was the weekend, so I came out to buy some things. Plus, I had finished the muscle-building powder from before, so I just happened to buy some more. As I said this, the big black man, who was Yu Shang, stroked his well-developed biceps.
Su Qi looked at the big black man standing opposite him. He had an ordinary face, stubble on his chin, and a strong body. He looked very rough, but he was especially meticulous.
Compared to Su Qi's delicate face and thin body, the big black man in front of him was simply a beast. Moreover, Su Qi wanted to complain about the big black man's name the most.
Yu Shang was a simple and elegant name. Coupled with his body, it brought a strong contrast. However, what matched his name was his meticulous mind. Perhaps it was more appropriate to describe him in terms of emotional intelligence.
Why are you out shopping today? When he said this, the big black man had a smile on his face. He didn't feel that his words were mocking people at all. Instead, he felt that his face was full of sincerity.
It was because of this maturity that Su Qi only got along with him among his roommates. The others were more or less childish.
As for me, I suddenly wanted to eat better today, so I came here to buy vegetables. Su Qi did not have the slightest urge to tell the truth.
After all, their relationship was just getting along. It was still far from what Su Qi thought of as a friend. Moreover, even if they were really close friends, Su Qi would not tell the truth.
Su Qi did not have the power to protect her beauty yet. After seeing Zero's beauty, would he have any evil thoughts?
This was something Su Qi would never allow. As the saying goes, a dragon has a reverse scale, and if you touch it, you will be enraged. And Zero was that reverse scale. She was his everything, and everything that was more precious than the reverse scale. Therefore, before Su Qi had the power to protect Zero, he would not let her show her face outside.
It just so happens that I'm going to a big supermarket too, and…When he said this, the big black man looked at Su Qi and continued,
It's already past eleven o'clock. The vendors on the road have already left. Only the big supermarket in front still has vegetables to buy. How about you go with me?
Su Qi didn't understand what the big black man meant. There were so many supermarkets selling vegetables, so why did he choose this supermarket? However, Su Qi thought about it and decided not to reject the good intentions of others. He nodded and agreed to go to the supermarket with the big black man.
After walking around, Su Qi picked out some ingredients that he was good at in the supermarket and bought some drinks such as milk and juice.
The big black man was looking for a topic to chat with Su Qi, but Su Qi only replied casually. The big black man didn't care and continued to chat like this.
Su Qi finally finished picking out all the vegetables he wanted to buy. It was a total of more than 300 yuan. Just as Su Qi was about to pay the bill.
A rough hand blocked his way and gently pressed down his hand that was holding the phone. His stubble-covered mouth moved slightly.
" Su Qi, I didn't take care of you in the dormitory usually, but it's fate that we met outside. Let me settle the bill this time. You know that I don't lack money. After all, a can of protein powder costs a few hundred yuan."
As he spoke, the big black man beside him had already taken out his phone and was about to pay. Just as he was about to pay, he was stopped by Su Qi in the same way.
Normally, Su Qi might have accepted it half-heartedly and even be very happy after the event. After all, although a few hundred yuan was not a lot, it was not a small amount to Su Qi.
However, it was different now. He bought the ingredients to cook a delicious meal for Zero and let this confused little loli really taste his cooking. Su Qi did not want others to participate in this process, even if they had to pay.
So Su Qi slowly said," Yu Shang, you don't have to spend money this time. Because recently, a relative came to my house. This money was also given to me by her. So the next time we meet, you must treat me again!"
Alright, if that's the case, look for me if you have any difficulties next time. I'll go buy some protein powder first. After saying this, the big black man patted Su Qi's shoulder and left. This time, Su Qi did not dodge.
Actually, the big black man, Yu Shang, knew about Su Qi's situation. He also knew that it was impossible for Su Qi's relatives to come. Even if Su Qi did, he would not cook for those relatives.
He had seen Su Qi's imperceptible smile when he said that his relatives were coming, which made him think that Su Qi was lying. However, that smile was so sweet that it reminded Yu Shang of the same smile on his face when he had a girlfriend in the past.
The big black man shook his head and thought that perhaps Su Qi was so happy because he had a girlfriend. However, he had a feeling that this might be the last time they would meet.
To Su Qi, this was just a small interlude. Perhaps before he met Zero, he would be touched and open his heart to accept this friend completely.
But now, Su Qi's heart was filled with the image of the confused little loli. The weight of friends no longer occupied much of a place in his heart. Perhaps one day, he would completely forget about it.
Su Qi was dressed in a pair of casual black pants, a pair of black sneakers, and a black shirt and jacket.
When he came back, Su Qi was carrying two big bags of things in his left and right hands, making him a little breathless. In addition, the route to the residential building was a little complicated, so he couldn't take a taxi, so Su Qi had to walk all the way back.
It was not easy for Su Qi to reach the residential building. He had to climb up to the third floor to reach his own house. After some time, he finally climbed up to the third floor.
Su Qi swore that he would definitely train his body in the future and not be stumped by these few steps.
