Gentle and radiant history graduate student vs. Cool, charming, and de...
Song Shengsheng took the porcelain spoon he handed her, held the bowl, and stirred the porridge: "When did you wake up?"
Jiang Yiyu pulled out a chair and sat down opposite her: "Not long."
"oh."
"Eat quickly."
"Okay." Song Shengsheng scooped half a spoonful of porridge into her mouth. Jiang Yiyu took a piece of paper from the tissue box beside the table and placed it next to her: "Let's go camping tomorrow."
"Ah?" Song Shengsheng didn't react immediately and choked: "Have you thought it through?"
"Yeah." Jiang Yiyu took a sip of porridge. "I really can't stay at home all the time. Does your friend's place require an appointment in advance? How big is the venue? How is the security?"
"It's like a private club, membership-only. No reservations are required. I'll just give him a call later. Since it's not open to the public, non-members can't enter, so the security is pretty good. As for the venue, I went there once with a friend when it first opened. It's quite large. The main feature is that you can get close to nature. They have tents, barbecue grills, and everything. It was quite comfortable to sleep in a tent at night."
"Who are you going to call?"
"It's up to you. If you only want to go with me, then we can go together. If you think it's boring to go alone and want to have some fun, then call my brother. I heard that your friends like Brother Lin Huan and Brother Li Xu are all in Beijing recently, so you can call them along. And Su Bei, Sister Wen Jing, and Xiao Chen, they can all come together!"
Jiang Yiyu thought for a moment and said, "With so many people here, it's going to be quite lively. If we want to barbecue, do we need to buy the ingredients in advance?"
Song Shengsheng lowered his head and drank a mouthful of porridge: "The camping base can help prepare it, but it may not be complete. We can go buy some food and bring it with us tomorrow."
"Okay, let's go to the supermarket this afternoon."
"us?"
"Well, didn't you say yesterday that we should live a normal life?"
"That's true." Song Shengsheng smiled at him.
After dinner, Jiang Yiyu cleared away the dishes and sat in the living room watching TV, while Song Shengsheng returned to the study to continue reading the document that he had not finished reading yesterday.
Jiang Yiyu didn't come to see her the whole morning until lunch time, when he knocked on the door.
In the afternoon, they changed their clothes and went to the supermarket together.
Song Shengsheng followed Jiang Yiyu and was very nervous the whole time. She pushed the shopping cart with her nerves tense, paying attention to every gaze cast towards them.
In order to separate Jiang Yiyu from the passers-by around him, she encountered many scenes. When Jiang Yiyu was selecting goods, someone wanted to come over to select together. She would quickly reach out and pull Jiang Yiyu, who was confused, to her side, or she would just walk over to him, making Jiang Yiyu laugh and cry, and strangers looking at them were also confused.
When passing the fresh food area, she pushed the shopping cart backwards and accidentally bumped into a staff member who was placing oranges on the shelf.
The staff member was a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her forties or fifties. After hearing Song Shengsheng's apology, she couldn't help but look at them a few more times and felt that the two of them were very strange.
The man was very tall, but he was wearing a hat and mask indoors, with the brim pulled down so low that even his eyes could not be seen clearly.
The woman was even stranger. Not only did she look nervous, but she was also wearing a long-sleeved jacket with the zipper zipped up to her chin in such hot weather. Her baseball cap was also pulled down very low. I didn't know if she was hot or not.
Under her scrutiny, Song Shengsheng inexplicably felt guilty. She smiled at the staff, picked up a box of oranges at random, and then hurriedly pushed the shopping cart, pulled Jiang Yiyu, and walked away quickly, looking back every few steps.
She didn't breathe a sigh of relief until she no longer saw the staff member.
Jiang Yiyu held onto the shopping cart, looked at her and smiled, "Dear, we don't have to be so careful."
Song Shengsheng took off her hat and smoothed her messy hair. She leaned on the armrest of the shopping cart and sighed tiredly: "Brother Yi Yu, maybe you are right. I should hide you."
Jiang Yiyu smiled dotingly and patted her head: "Relax, I'm covered up like this, no one can tell who I am. Besides, not everyone knows me. Maybe in the eyes of others, seeing me covered up like this indoors, they think I'm weird."
Song Shengsheng looked up at him and smiled: "Indeed, a little bit."
"So, be natural. Just do what needs to be done. Don't worry about others. Let's just be ourselves." He put his arm around Song Shengsheng's shoulders. "Besides, the gossip media is more curious about you than me. Mrs. Jiang, you are the one they want to dig up."
Song Shengsheng frowned and put on his hat silently.
…
The next morning, after breakfast, Song Shengsheng and Jiang Yiyu carried several large bags of things they had bought yesterday and drove to the camping base on the outskirts of the city. When they arrived, they happened to meet Song Ming and Wen Jing getting out of the car together. The four of them looked at each other and were stunned at the same time.
"Well... we just happened to meet." Wen Jing explained awkwardly, nudging Song Ming secretly with her elbow. Song Ming cleared his throat and hummed awkwardly, "We just happened to meet."
Song Shengsheng and Jiang Yiyu looked at each other and smiled along with them: "Very good, very good."
Wen Jing stepped forward and took Song Shengsheng's arm. She winked at Song Ming, who understood and hurriedly asked Jiang Yiyu to help him move things from the trunk.
Jiang Yiyu shook the shopping bags in his hands to show that he was helpless.
In the end, Song Ming forced him to carry another bag that was not too heavy.
All the way to the entrance of the camping base, Song Shengsheng and Wen Jing kept listening to the two of them arguing behind them. It sounded like whoever said less would suffer a loss.
