Chapter 5 Only the Moon

Li You was very satisfied with yesterday's performance. The only thing that made him dissatisfied was that the factory director did not kick him out! Instead, he was transferred out of the original work and asked to join the cleaner team to clean the canteen and yard. Now he could enjoy singing...

Tongzi also remembered the name Li You yesterday. It was very hot today! It was hard to endure the heat in Guangdong in May! In her hometown, Tongzi had never experienced such a hot summer before. Even if it were dog days, there was nothing more than this! Tongzi drank a lot of water today and did not go to the toilet much. The short-sleeved shirt was wet with sweat and it was dried up by the heat. Tongzi was already used to the smell of water here! Listening to the intermittent singing outside, Tongzi knew that Li You was cleaning the yard under the main building in the sun! The continuous singing was sometimes loud and sometimes low, this guy was definitely doing it on purpose.

As for yesterday's matter, it was just like that. The boss specially came over at night and had a meeting on the fourth floor for more than an hour before he went downstairs and drove away. This morning, Li You was transferred to clean up.

"It seems that the boss does not intend to compromise!"

Tongzi said to herself.

Tongzi had also carefully analyzed the matter with Li You yesterday. She felt that it was too risky for Li You to do this, and the reward was small! If Li You was kicked out of the factory, with this precedent, who wanted to go out in the future would do worse things! Therefore, what he did was futile. At most, they would change his post like today. Yesterday, Tongzi carefully observed Li You's skills. Tongzi felt that if he wanted to go out, he would have other ways...

This was Tongzi's conclusion to Li You.

"I want to go out, too! I want to leave this place!"

Tongzi secretly made up her mind.

Li You sat down on the stairs and panted heavily. He threw the broom far away! His shorts were soaked with sweat. He was bare-chested, and he felt that he was about to die of heat! His skin was greasy under the sun, and the flesh on his body was secreted with dense sweat beads.

"No! This place is not cool at all! There is no wind at all!"

Li You said to himself. Then, he stood up and walked towards the pool next to the boiler room. He turned on the tap and the water flowed out. Li You stretched his head out. The cold tap water splashed onto his head. He felt as if all the pores on his body had tightened.

"Wonderful!"

Li You turned his head back and forth to let the water touch his head as much as possible. After washing his head, Li You stood up. He wiped the water off his face with his hand and allowed the water on his hair to flow to his shoulders and back. The water droplets mixed with sweat slowly fell from his strong body! In order to prevent the water droplets from wetting his shorts, Li You began to wipe away the water from his chest, back, and abdomen with his hand. As he touched it, he swung it...

Tongzi took the empty cup and was about to refill her cup in the boiler room when she saw Li You standing at the boiler room's door, shaking his sweat everywhere! With an expression of disgust, she did not move forward. Li You turned around and saw the scene of Tongzi holding the cup and frowning.

"Please come in, pretty girl!"

Li You immediately made a very gentlemanly gesture and then stood motionless at the door of the boiler room in a very gentlemanly posture. When Tongzi came out, he tidied up the non-existent bow tie and said,

"Goodbye, pretty girl!"

Then he shook off the sweat on his body.

Tongzi ignored him and left without looking back. Li You saw that Tongzi had gone far away and raised his eyebrows with a smile.

Tongzi finally waited for the damned sun to set. Without the roasting of the sun, the earth began to return the stored heat to the sky.

"Why is it so hot at night?"

Tongzi sighed anxiously.

Tongzi began to miss her hometown! Even if it were hot during the day in the mountains in her hometown, it would become cool as soon as the sunset, while it was hotter here at night than in the daytime.

Today, because of the high temperature, she worked overtime until nine o'clock in the evening and it would continue until the rainy season arrived. This finally made Tongzi feel that the high temperature was not so annoying anymore...

The moon was very round tonight. Tongzi raised her head to admire the moon. Ever since Tongzi came to Guangdong, this was the first time she had such an elegant mood! Tongzi had washed up early and washed her clothes. She was ready to go to bed as soon as it was slightly cool! Sleeping was such a wonderful thing!

"What the hell! There are so many people!"

A thunderous roar! Tongzi didn't even need to look to know that it was the fool called Li You who roared out! Tongzi suddenly had the thought of getting to know this idiot! And this idea was getting more and more intense! Tongzi went into the dormitory, picked up the mirror, looked at herself, tidied up her T-shirt and short skirt, took off the old slippers that were given to her by others, and changed into the only pair of silver-white high-heeled sandals! A fair and beautiful face! A tall and well-proportioned figure! Then, she tied her short hair up with a rubber band, smoothed her hair, and looked at the mirror before she went out with satisfaction.

Tongzi went downstairs and saw that idiot ran to the store to buy a popsicle. He was walking towards her with an empty bucket in his other hand, walking and eating.

There were a lot of people at the entrance of the small store. The factory was not big! Only this small store had a TV. Although the salary in the factory was paid once per year, each person could still have an advance of 100 yuan every month to improve their life! The atmosphere at the entrance of the small store was very happy. Perhaps it was because they got off work early today.

"You, who messed around this afternoon!"

Tongzi shouted at Li You.

Li You had a popsicle in his mouth. He looked at the beautiful Tongzi who shouted at him, looked around. There was no one around him! Then he pointed to his nose with his big hand. Tongzi nodded and then he ran over with the popsicle in his mouth.

"Beauty! What's the matter?"

Tongzi was also quite embarrassed! She had no experience of taking the initiative to strike up a conversation with a strange man. While she was biting her finger and looking at the sky, thinking about what to say, she found that Li You was staring at her foolishly, and the popsicle's water with saliva in his mouth was dripping down from the corner of his mouth!

Tongzi stared at Li You with wide eyes.

Li You also felt that he had lost his composure, so he hurriedly threw away the popsicle, wiped his mouth, and his expression began to become serious.

"I want to make friends with you! Please don't misunderstand! The normal kind! Although this is very presumptuous, you can keep your opinion!"

After Tongzi finished speaking in one breath, she lowered her head and looked at her

feet.

Tongzi lowered her head and waited for a long time but did not hear a reply. She looked up and saw that Li You's eyes had become bright and bright, and Tongzi's eyes became firm.

"Sure!"

A moment later, Li You spat out these two words.

"It seems that my first friend in Guangdong has been born today!"

Li You teased.

"Me too!"

Tongzi responded.

"What do you want to ask? Say it! I'm waiting to take a bath! We can talk about other things later!"

Li You's chat was very straightforward.

"Alright then, I'll cut to the chase. I just want to ask you one thing! Why do you mess around every day?"

Tongzi said seriously and waited for Li You's answer.

"For what?"

Li You looked up at the round moon in the sky and muttered softly.

"The only thing that I miss is the moon in the night!"

After reading this poem, Li You turned around and disappeared into the darkness with the bucket in his hand.
