I think I can not answer this, simply silent, tilted his head to look at him, “take away, or stay to eat?”
He looked around. Obviously he did not like to stay here, but still opened his mouth, “Go find a location.”
Always listening to him was good and we found a window seat, eat a few bites of burger. I looked out the window of the mall crowd.
He looked at me and raised his eyebrows, “What are you thinking?”
I looked back at him, “Why did you suddenly bring me here for a burger?”
He raised his eyebrows, “You like it!”
Uh-uh!
What was that supposed to mean?
It wasn’t a weekend, and most of the people who came to the mall were couples who had scheduled time off to go shopping.
Downstairs there was a H-M store, young people in and out, very lively, “Before Diana always said. In the future, if she has a boyfriend, must pull him to go shopping in CK, and then let him buy her a few more bags, and then go to H-M to try on a few more sets of clothes.”
Dennis took a look at the store downstairs and raised his eyebrows lightly, “Very expensive?”
I shook my head, “But, a few hundred, some discount, a few dozen to get.”
He was a little puzzled, “That …”
I looked at him, I thought he did not quite understand the life of ordinary people.
The university will be, “We just need eight hundred RMV a month for living, excluding meals. There is not much left, and girls like to be beautiful, always want to buy some nice clothes and cosmetics, sometimes, save a few months for a set of cosmetics.”
He nodded and looked at the store downstairs and said, “Do you still like it now?”
I looked at him and said seriously, “Would you still like the Ultraman cards that you liked to play with when you were five?”
He did seriously think about it and said, “I don’t play with those.”
Well!
Maybe childhood was different.
“Dennis, are you over here too?” A few surprised female voices sounded behind me.
Turning back, I saw Sheila, who was accompanied by a seven or eight year old child.
Dennis looked at her and nodded slightly, as a greeting.
The little boy looked around and his eyes fell on the untouched family bucket on our table.
I spoke, “Want to eat together?”
Sheila froze slightly and looked at Dennis, as if inquiring.
Dennis didn’t say anything, so he acquiesced.
Sheila sat down and told the boy not to make a mess while she went to get the food.
I brought the family bucket to him, and the little one looked at it and said thank you softly, seemingly shy with strangers.
When Sheila came back, she saw that he was already eating and frowned slightly, “Zhou Ran, did you say thank you?”
The little guy looked at me and Dennis, said, “Thank you,” and then quietly ate.
Dennis had always said little. At this time, with other people, he will say even less.
Originally there were trivial things to talk about, but now there was nothing to say.
A few moments later, when I stopped eating and kept looking at my phone, he spoke, “Ready to go?”
I nodded my head, “Yes!”
“Let’s go!” He got up and reached out to pull me.
Sheila suddenly spoke, “Dennis, there’s a new update to the AI program, can I take this time to talk to you for a minute?”
He spoke, without emotion, “It’s not work time.”
The implication was that they should talk at work.
Sheila opened her mouth, “It’s Intelligent Housekeeping, which happens to be applicable in a restaurant like this, where the environment and the specifics are just right for us to have a closer chat.”
Dennis frowned, visibly displeased.
“I happen to have something to buy. I’ll go out for a stroll, you guys talk.”
It’s not that I was deliberately avoiding it. I just think that it’s pointless to be so stagnant.
Dennis looked at me sideways and his voice was low, “Don’t you need my company?”
I always felt that there was some anger in his words, but I nodded, “I’m fine on my own.”
What to buy?
When I came out of KFC, I walked around aimlessly and found nothing to buy.
I felt like a fool for making room for them when I knew Sheila was interested in Dennis.
After browsing for a while, I became confused, looking at my reflection in the window. I always felt something was wrong.
It was the emotions and the feelings inside.
It was low self-esteem. The scars on my face was not deep anymore, so if I didn’t look closely, it’s hard to see them, but since they were scars, they can’t be completely unmarked.
Sheila was excellent, really excellent. She was beautiful and elegant, smart and intelligent, resolute and brave. Such a woman, a man should like it!
I didn’t know when I started to have low self-esteem, from the time my face was injured? Or was it earlier?
I guessed it was earlier, but it was just so obvious at that time.
Let’s cut my hair!
The thought suddenly came to my mind, and I froze a little, maybe I could use my hair to hide the scars on my face.
The first floor of the mall, a barbershop called Style, was very easy to find.
The two young men at the door were handing out leaflets, and I casually picked them up, saying that new members just needed 19 RMB for a wash, cut and blow.
It was not for the cheap. I just looked at the hairdresser’s hair and that was pretty good. I went in.
After washing, I sat down.
The barber asked, “How do you want to cut?”
“Just like that!” I raised my hand and pointed to the short hair model on the wall, with thick bangs covering half of my face, and that was fine.
The barber took one look at it and gave me serious advice, “Miss, if you’re just trying to cover the scar on your face, you can try cutting a bangs just to cover it. There’s no need to cut your hair short, you have beautiful hair.”
I froze and thought to myself, so the scar was more obvious than I thought.
“Then you can decide it for me!” .
He nodded, while cutting “Miss, you have the standard beauty face. I suggest you try to change your hairstyle. It will do not hurt the hair, do not need to perm and dye. The hairstlye is semi-permanent, can keep for half a year.”
I smiles lightly, perfunctory, “No thanks!”
It had been many years since I had not changed my hair, so I were used to seeing myself this way.
After waiting for half an hour …
Looking at myself in the mirror, I always felt a few years younger all of a sudden. I can’t help but be a little surprised, “How can …”
“Bangs show young. Miss your skin and features are very good, so cut like this, look very young.”
I smiled and the mood was a few better.
From the barber store, I walked down the street, looking at the window occasionally flashed my own appearance. I can not help but think, maybe a change of a younger clothes, will be very good.
So, directly into the H-M store, looking for a few sets of clothes, strappy pants white shirt, canvas shoes, seemed to be a representative of youth.
