Chapter 838: The Last Day

After breakfast, Meng Huo and Shen Jie walked out of Meng's house.

Li Qin saw them off with a smile at the door, and the old lady was also present, but after seeing the two children disappearing, she suddenly sighed and said, "Who is the child Meng Huo likes?"

Li Qin was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Is that still useful? Look at what happened just now, it must be Shen Jie."

What Meng Huo said at the dinner table clearly showed that he wanted to go further with Shen Jie. Li Qin could tell that he was actually accepting Shen Jie, otherwise he would not have put Huahua on this special day. lay down.

"Is that so?" But the old lady didn't really believe it, or——if Li Qin said this before the New Year, she would believe it a little more. But after observing for more than half a month, the old lady was not so confident.

"He likes Shen Jie and treats her very well, I can see that..." She shook her head, then slowly turned and walked home: "But... I can't tell whether he likes her the most .”

Li Qin walked over to support her, and said with a smile, "What do you like and what do you like the most? What's the difference? Don't think about it..."

"You're talking nonsense with your eyes open..." The old lady glanced at Li Qin angrily. For more than half a month, although Meng Huo treated Shen Jie very well, he was obviously conservative, not like someone who had fallen into a trap. A man in love.

If Meng Huo's favorite is Shen Jie, why would he waste his vacation time and instead devote himself to painting? But on the other hand, the old lady did see that he liked Shen Jie very much, which made her very conflicted.

So she thought, if it wasn't for Meng Huo, he wasn't ready yet. Or the fear of misfiring. That's why he deliberately didn't get too close to Shen Jie - that can only show that Shen Jie is not Meng Huo's favorite person.

There is a difference between 'like' and 'favorite'. But the old lady actually didn't want to see this. If so, that's pathetic.

"Will that child throw away the most important things..." The old lady thought to herself, she really hoped that she was thinking too much, otherwise even if Meng Huo accepted Shen Jie, her grandma would feel awkward.

No elder wants their children to throw away their favorite girl and choose another 'substitute'.

But whether Shen Jie is a "substitute", so far, in Meng Huo's mind, the answer is "". It is true that Alice has brought him a lot of trouble, but he has not changed his choice, and since this holiday, he has liked Shen Jie even more.

Shen Jie has always been a very good girl in Meng Huo's heart. Her only or perhaps the most prominent shortcoming is her personality. Meng Huo doesn't like girls who are too strong and crazy. performance has been very good.

This vacation impressed him even more. He liked Shen Jie's restraint and quietness very much. The life of painting with him without any complaints seemed to let Meng Huo see a woman image that best suited his psychological preference.

So this holiday is too peaceful. But Meng Huo's affection for Shen Jie has indeed increased greatly, and he will not lose to Alice. Shen Jie's actions today are also in line with his preferences. Although Meng Huo was ready to spend a crazy day with her on Valentine's Day, she didn't go too crazy, and instead made an ordinary request.

"I want to see Ninghai." She said at the dinner table: "Ninghai has several scenic spots, let's go shopping together, just like ordinary people, take the bus and subway there, don't bring bodyguards... come back after dark .”

What she wanted to do was unexpectedly ordinary, so Meng Huo naturally had no objection. As for the key point of "no need to bring bodyguards" - the old lady and Li Qin didn't object either. With Shen Jie here, what kind of bodyguards does Meng Huo need to bring?

The two left alone and waited in front of a platform. Meng Huo hadn't taken a bus for a long time, so he reached out and pressed his hat on the platform several times, thinking whether he would be recognized by others.

"Brother..." Suddenly, a hand grabbed the corner of Meng Huo's clothes, and Meng Huo turned his head to look. It was a little girl looking up at him.

He was startled, and when he almost thought he was recognized, the little girl brought up a bamboo basket full of flowers: "Today is Valentine's Day for Westerners, big brother, would you like to buy some flowers for your daughter?" friend?"

Meng Huo instantly relaxed. It seems that it is the same in any world. As long as it is a festival related to "love", no matter whether it is in the East or in the West, there will always be flower sellers on the streets.

"Buy flowers for your girlfriend?" Meng Huo looked down at the bamboo basket, which contained many colors, not all roses like in his previous life, and pointed to an unknown red flower: "How much is this one? "

"Nine dollars and nine." The girl said nervously. This price is very popular on Qixi Festival, but today's Valentine's Day is not as well-known as Qixi Festival. For many people, it is a dispensable type. The guests just heard The price is all waived.

"Well, you don't need too much, just bring me ten flowers..." But Meng Huo didn't care about the price, he took out the money from his pocket and wanted to pay—but was stopped by Shen Jie who stretched out his hand: "Don't buy it, buy it!" Why don't you let it go, we still have to play!"

She has been watching the interaction between Meng Huo and the girl, and she is very happy to see that Meng Huo is willing to pay for it. But the two of them had to play for a day, Shen Jie didn't want to keep holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand, it would be so eye-catching.

"You don't want it?" Meng Huo was surprised.

"No more." Shen Jie shook her head and said with a smile: "You have already promised to accompany me for a day, it is useless to ask for such things."

Meng Huo had no choice but to take back the money, and then slapped the girl's head: "Sorry, this big sister doesn't want it, let's forget it..."

The girl looked at Shen Jie, thinking that this sister is really strange, other sisters are trying to get their boyfriends to buy flowers, but this sister is lucky, she took the initiative to stop - and why do these two people look so familiar?

"Brother, you look like Teacher He Xi..."

The girl said suddenly, which startled Meng Huo, but she continued, "But Teacher He Xi's voice is more handsome than yours..."

She actually observed Meng Huo and Shen Jie very carefully, but they were wearing masks, so they could only see their eyes and forehead, not their specific appearance.

"How could Teacher He Xi be here..." The girl left muttering, Meng Huo and Shen Jie also used ventriloquism in addition to their masks. In fact, if they didn't do this, the possibility of being spotted by the two of them who showed half their faces was quite high.

After the girl left, Shen Jie smiled, "It looks safe."

"It seems to be..." Meng Huo heaved a sigh of relief, he was so frightened just now. The girl was very young, and she looked at them from the bottom up, and she saw the most clearly. The hat was useless at all, but she didn't even see it. The two people's outfits were quite perfect.

"Then let's go." The bus was already coming, and Shen Jie grabbed Meng Huo's hand, happily took him up, and then started a day of fun like an ordinary couple's date.

In the morning they went to the temple and the snack street. Suhua's temple was very lively, and there were people visiting the Buddha everywhere. Although Meng Huo was not a Buddhist, he had a good experience - he felt that it would be beneficial to some of his future. Comics are good.

Comics also need to be close to life, and Meng Huo has not copied his paintings all the time, because he cannot adapt to this world. And his experience in comics in the past few years comes from his travels in the past few years. Traveling has allowed him to understand the world better, and he will not make common-sense mistakes.

So he is very serious about things that can be used as materials. Temples and Suhua's snack street are all good materials...

The snack streets in every city in China have their own characteristics, the prices are not expensive, and they can better reflect the flavor of a city. It's a pity to say that Meng Huo has been in Suhua for so many years, and today is the first time he has eaten Suhua's local food.

Both he and Shen Jie ate a lot, and as a result, both of them skipped lunch. When they were a little tired from walking at noon, Shen Jie took Meng Huo to find the largest book city in Suhua City.

The scale of this bookstore is larger than that of Ninghai, and there are so many books in it. Meng Huo first accompanied Shen Jie to buy some books she needed—she wanted to be his secretary, and no one knew him better than Meng Huo. What kind of knowledge does the secretary need.

After buying the book, the two stayed together in the comic area for another hour. Meng Huo took this opportunity to read all the comic magazines except Phoenix Company, and also got to know some cartoonists who are popular nowadays.

After many years, the situation in the comics industry has changed greatly from Meng Huo's imagination. Except for the familiar cartoonists he knows, he doesn't know most of the well-known cartoonists.

Every year, a group of newcomer cartoonists will appear, and the comic area is also full of guests. This scene makes Meng Huo feel happy and helpless. He feels more and more that he can no longer become a simple cartoonist.

In this delicate mood, he accompanied Shen Jie around Ninghai for another afternoon. In the evening, the two of them took the bus back to Meng's house with several bags of things, large and small.

"I'm going to work tomorrow..." In the car, Meng Huo said regretfully, "After work, I won't have time to accompany you anymore..."

He looked at Shen Jie: "Are you really satisfied?"

"Well, it's enough." Shen Jie leaned against Meng Huo, and she had a very happy and fulfilling holiday: "But next year can't be like this...Meng Huo, before the next Chinese New Year, I want to be successful in Working next to you..."

Her words were more like an oath that within this year, she would take down the job of Meng Huo's secretary. Meng Huo was a little surprised that she moved so fast, but he smiled back: "I believe you can do it." (To be continued...) R1292
