Chapter 42: Forty-second step

In fact, Chen Jinyao has not many opportunities to wear high heels.
It's not that I don't wear it, but I rarely wear it. Even if she wears it, it is estimated that it is during the break time. She will also have flat shoes that can be replaced at any time in the office.
But this cannot be stopped. There are several rows of beautiful crystal shoes that belong to her on the shoe cabinet in the cloakroom at home.
They stay there quietly, in most cases just for pleasing the eyes.
Chen Jinyao doesn't think this is a waste. Compared to waste, she agrees that she is collecting. A woman's cloakroom will always lack a dress, a skirt and a pair of shoes. There is no way, just like when she was a student, even if she already had a lot. However, I can’t help but keep going to the bookstore to find good-looking books and ballpoint pens. You don’t need it, but you have to buy it. You’re happy when you buy it.
Chen Jinyao bought all the "Crystal Shoes Collection" at his own expense.
Yan Cheng would not hesitate to buy anything for her, except that he would not buy her shoes. He bought them before. Later, he watched a Korean drama with her. The first episode of the drama was that the heroine bought her boyfriend. The latest running shoes.
Then in the next second narration, the subtitle translation: I heard that if you buy shoes for the other half, the other half will wear the shoes they bought for him and run away with others.
Chen Jinyao clearly remembered that at that time, Yan Cheng had "sneered" without expression, and it seemed that he had sniffed at such superstitions.
The usual attitude of materialism is not surprising, not to mention that some plots in the TV series are just as good as you can. Then in the second episode, the heroine’s boyfriend cheated happily and unceremoniously dumped the heroine. .
"Tsk." Yan Cheng frowned, squinted, his expression indistinguishable.
After a moment of silence, he took out his phone, lowered his eyes and turned on the calculator, deducting what he bought for her and then deducting what she bought for him. After careful calculation, he pushed the five digits to her eyes and lazily said, "Call me the money. , You buy the shoes yourself."
"..." I just praised him, but the result was revealed, and she was childishly biting her back molars and wanted to hammer the dog to death.
However, the dog is very persistent: "Hurry up."
Chen Jinyao secretly scolded him for being mentally ill, but physically transferred him to him honestly.
Two minutes later, with a ding sound, the money turned back, adding a few thousand more, rounding up the whole number, and the remark was a smiling face. Chen Jinyao glanced at the screen, moved the corner of her mouth, and looked at Yan Cheng with a puzzled face.
Yan Cheng was just as foolish as ever, with the tip of his tongue turning around his teeth, and he whispered and naturally said: "Next year's New Year's money."
At this time, Chen Jinyao even twitched the corners of her eyes: "..."
Also since then, Yan Cheng has never bought her shoes again.
Of course, in the same way, he wouldn't let her buy him shoes.
Others can be swiped at will, only this one, you must pay for each.
After hearing that Shao Chongsi knew this, he laughed at Yan Cheng for a while, laughing at him hypocritically.
Thinking about it now, the word "hypocritical" is not wrong.
The hotel is not far from Chen Jinyao's alma mater, East China Medical University. It takes only ten minutes to walk there. The crowd is mighty. Compared with the students returning to their alma mater to find memories, this is more like a large-scale group tourism activity.
In mid-June, the university has entered the final exam stage.
There are also majors that have already been taken. Those who drag their suitcases and set foot on the way home early. The campus of the University of Nova Scotia is empty and quiet. Only the branches on both sides of the road clamor endlessly.
"Li Dan, how about civil servants?"
Most of the people who came out of the medical department were still engaged in professional-related occupations. Besides, dentists were the best to make money. People lived a lifetime for most of these vulgar things. I didn't expect that there would be people in the class who would seek civil service examinations.
The only one, naturally, has received a lot of attention.
Li Dan smiled, "All to make a living."
The old classmates get together like this, the modest ones are humble, and the ones who show off can’t wait to show off all the time. Only those who are close and usually have contact, such as between roommates, will hesitate from the heart.
I haven't seen each other for many years, and when I meet again, I have changed and have a new life.
Whoever works, whoever works, who is still single, whoever, children can make soy sauce, and they talk about such issues with gusto.
"Hey, Jin Yao, why is there no news about your marriage?"
Unprepared, someone brought the topic to her.
Chen Jinyao’s new shoes were rubbed, and Chen Jinyao’s back heels were red. It was really caught by Yan Cheng’s crow’s beak. She had no choice but to slow down, and gradually distanced herself from the crowd with Yan Cheng. She talked to Yan Cheng about her alma mater. There's really nothing to say. She is not the one who has feelings for this place, so she pulled him, appropriately softened, shook his arm, rubbed him deliberately, and screamed for pain.
It was also a rare experience. When Yan Cheng's cool expression started to crack, she bent her eyes reluctantly.
Yan Cheng: "If you don't mind the public, I can carry you on my back."
When the voice fell, I heard someone mentioned her in front of her and dragged her into the center of the storm. Chen Jinyao constricted and looked forward. When she looked up, she found that the person who was walking in front had stopped and turned around and stopped her sight. She and Yan Cheng were on her.
The inquiring gaze seemed to be able to peel off human skin.
Everything seemed dull, Chen Jinyao slowly withdrew his gaze, and exhaled calmly: "Well, there is no banquet."
"Huh, no!" Xu Ting exclaimed in the crowd.
This kind of response, when it appears suddenly, is particularly harsh.
Yan Cheng frowned and went back directly: "Have you never seen the world before? If you travel and get married, is it possible to entertain guests and take them around the world?"
Xu Ting: "..."
Chen Jinyao glanced at Yan Cheng, pursed her lips and said nothing.
This is the second time he brags without writing a draft.
As the saying goes, it is true that there is no flaw at all.
Xu Ting's expression was a bit ugly, and she muttered, "Everyone still has their own lives."
The wind blew by, blowing this sour sentence into everyone's ears.
Yan Cheng raised his chin and "chicks" with extreme disdain.
Chen Jinyao: "..."
The squad leader was still quick to react, and he immediately said haha ​​to ease the atmosphere.
Then, he stabbed the culprit Gu Ci with his elbow.
Gu Ci's expression was faint, completely out of the picture. This really doesn't have anything to do with him. It's just that his eyes always glance in the direction of Chen Jinyao imperceptibly, thinking of when he knew that she had someone she liked during the student days. Averted his gaze and looked at Yan Cheng beside her, frowned slightly, thoughtfully.
The sun is dazzling, and the burning cheeks are hot.
Xu Ting was embarrassed by Yan Cheng's meanness.
She also had a good relationship with her to speak for her, which gave her a bit of confidence. She privately thought that it was Yan Cheng who was impolite. She raised her eyes to Gu Ci, hoping that Gu Ci could speak for herself like in the past. words.
But Gu Ci didn't, he didn't look at her from beginning to end.
Yan Cheng was like an individual, and as soon as his eyes rolled, he understood everything.
After this episode, when everyone continued to move forward, he sighed: "A period of love, hatred, and hatred."
Chen Jinyao: "?????"
"That woman is obviously aimed at you. She likes your class assistant." He bent over and approached her, "Look at it, combined with what we said yesterday, doesn't it mean that everyone has different choices. There are those who say goodbye to the past and those who don't give up."
"However, her actions are really stupid enough."
Chen Jinyao raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but pat him: "Stop gossip."
In response, Yan Cheng only shrugged.
---------------------------------------------
Later, everyone simply got together in twos and threes and moved separately.
There is a winding commercial street in the school, from Hedong to Hexi, this street is especially lively at night.
The most popular place back then is still the most popular today.
Chen Jinyao pulled Yan Cheng and walked here by mistake, the leaves rustling around, her attention was focused on the nail salon from beginning to end.
As if she had a specific attraction and wanted to get her in, walking in the shade, Chen Jinyao raised her hand and pointed in the direction of the nail salon, "husband, look."
Yan Cheng looked in the direction of her fingers, realized, nodded, and even breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's go."
"Good, good." She nodded like garlic.
Hilariously from the bottom of my heart: Everything is silent, and it feels great to have a sharp heart.
Then, she was taken into the nail shop... in the shoe shop next to the side.
"..." Chen Jinyao: "I want to make nails."
Yan Cheng glanced down at her, "Change your shoes and go again."
She suddenly laughed, turned her head and glanced back at her back heels, half-jokingly said: "Actually, I did it on purpose. I expected you to carry me when I couldn't walk. I didn't expect you to think of a once and for all method. Gee."
Hearing that, Yan Cheng didn't lift his eyelids, half honey and half a knife: "You can carry it anytime you want, and I can't commit self-harm."
Chen Jinyao rolled her eyes: "Can't talk anymore."
Yan Cheng: "..."
By coincidence, Xu Ting is also in this store.
There was only a face-to-face meeting, and there was no extra conversation.
Even so, there is still a somewhat narrow atmosphere.
The stores opened in the school generally sell things at a low price, which is similar to Taobao products, and the price is based on seventy or eighty yuan.
The soles are stiff, and they are not very comfortable to wear.
But compared with Hentiangao, it is much better.
She is just looking for a pair of high heels instead.
Chen Jinyao sat on the small couch by the side and tried on shoes, and did not pick and choose too much. Yan Cheng found a few pairs of white shoes for her to try, subject to her decision.
Almost, he sat next to her, with his elbows on his knees, his head slightly sideways, squinting, and staring at her ankles.
Xu Ting is still choosing, and she keeps scrutinizing during the process.
At this point in time, there are not many customers in the store.
The boss also stood by and strongly recommended this year's latest models.
Chen Jinyao calmly faced Xu Ting's scrutiny. After a while, she turned her face to Yan Cheng and bit her ears in a whisper, "Go to the supermarket and buy me some water."
After a pause, he bent over and touched the red heel, "Go and buy two more band-aids."
Yan Cheng looked at the quality of the little white shoes, rubbing the heel of the shoes with his clearly articulated fingers for a long time before he said "OK".
Immediately, he handed the white shoes in her hand to Chen Jinyao, "This pair is beautiful."
Then, got up and left.
The supermarket is at the end of this street.
There is still a little distance.
Chen Jinyao didn't linger for long, so she took the pair that Yan Cheng said were good-looking and put it on her feet, and said to the boss: "Just this pair, how much is it?"
Boss: "Eighty-nine."
"I just wore it. Give me a bag and I will put my old shoes."
The boss repeatedly agreed and led her to the cashier.
When scanning the QR code to pay.
Xu Ting suddenly appeared beside her and asked, "Don't wait for your husband to come back to pay?"
Hearing that, Chen Jinyao turned her head and looked at her incredulously, with a face of inexplicable expression: "Why wait for him to pay, I won't make money anymore."
Immediately afterwards, Chen Jinyao felt only a moment of fortune.
Fortunately, I let Yan Cheng go to the supermarket to buy water.
Otherwise, with Yan Cheng present, she still pays the bill, and she may be rumored to be a pitiful image.
After staring at each other, Xu Ting was the first to lose. She laughed a few times, then turned back to watch shoes with another classmate.
Chen Jinyao left the shoe shop and went straight to the nail salon.
When passing by a fruit shop, Gu Ci leaned back lazily against the column that happened to support the upper balcony, half-dangling his eyes.
When she saw her walking towards her, she pinched her cigarette.
After saying hello, he carefully organized the language.
"Ah, it's actually nothing, and nothing else. I just want to ask you, is your husband the one you have been in crush on when you were in college?" Relieved, but there are always other emotions that will be controlled.
If you ask clearly, you will be reconciled.
Knowing that the uninterrupted call is in my ears.
Besides, the surroundings are very quiet, only a few students pass by them occasionally.
The sun was faintly scorching, and the sun shone across a large area of ​​the ground blocked by the balcony, leaving a little bit and hitting them both.
Chen Jinyao's pupils shimmered slightly, looking straight at him with her head up and chest high.
She didn't know what he meant by asking this question.
Quiet for a moment.
Chen Jinyao licked her lips and said lightly: "No."
