Knowing that Jiang Sui was really worried about her, Xiang Baiwei couldn't refuse his good intentions: "Okay, I'll tell you in advance when I go."
Having said that, Xiang Baiwei didn't want to owe anyone a favor, and she was also afraid that the target would be too big, so she was actually unwilling to take Jiang Sui with her.
So, although she had agreed verbally, she decided to pretend to obey and secretly go to the free market when Jiang Sui went to work in the machinery factory.
Anyway, when Jiang Sui is busy sometimes, he will stay in the machinery factory and not come back.
Days like that are the best time for me.
At this time, Jiang Sui stood up to pour tea. After coming back, he looked at Xiang Baiwei who was fiddling with the candied fruit with her head down, and took a sip of water with a meaningful look in his eyes.
Three days later, Jiang Sui received a letter from someone at the machinery factory, asking him to go out and might not come back at night.
After Jiang Sui gave some careful instructions, Xiang Baiwei suppressed her inner joy and appeared calm as she escorted him out the door.
When he sent her to the door, Jiang Sui seemed to remember something, pulled her over to Bai Wei, and whispered in her ear: "I should be back tomorrow, but I'm not sure. Take your time with the free market. Don't worry. Wait until I come back and we can go together."
Xiang Baiwei agreed obediently on the surface, but she had actually made up her mind to get up at three or four in the morning tomorrow and go to town.
There happened to be a market in town tomorrow, so she could pretend to go there and take the opportunity to wander around the free market.
This way, after selling everything, she should still have time to go to the supply and marketing cooperative again.
She had to go and see how the supply and marketing cooperative was selling after it changed to a new jam.
Jiang Sui looked at Xiang Baiwei who was obviously absent-minded, turned around and rode away without saying anything.
Early the next morning, Xiang Baiwei met some villagers at the entrance of the village who were also going to the market to sell things, and they went to the town together.
When she arrived in the town, she took the opportunity to eat to separate from the villagers, walked around, came to a secluded place, changed her clothes, and walked into the free market.
When she finished her work, there was a slight light in the sky, it should be almost dawn.
Xiang Baiwei was afraid that she would be caught by the patrolman if she was any later, so she ran back to the place where she had just changed her clothes, changed back into the clothes she was wearing, and then happily went to the town to attend the market.
As a result, just after turning a corner, she saw Jiang Sui waiting there, holding the bike.
It seems that the other party has been waiting for a long time.
Well... this scene is a bit awkward.
Xiang Baiwei touched his nose and walked over calmly: "This... is such a coincidence?"
"Unfortunately, I've been waiting for you here." Jiang Sui patted the back seat of the car, "Are you tired? There's a new steamed bun shop in this town. The meat buns and soy milk there are both good. I'll take you there for breakfast."
Xiang Baiwei felt guilty for not keeping her word: "Do you want me to explain it to you?"
"No need, I have my own eyes and can see." Jiang Sui lowered his head, got on the car, and urged Xiang Baiwei who was standing behind him, "Hurry up, there will be a lot of people queuing later."
No conversation along the way.
When they arrived at the dining area, Jiang Sui suppressed his anger and ordered two baskets of buns and two bowls of soy milk. After they shared them equally, they lowered their heads and ate in silence.
Xiang Baiwei ate slowly with a guilty conscience. She looked up several times to talk to Jiang Sui, but because of the other party's silence, she had to swallow her words back.
What should I do? Jiang Sui seemed really angry.
Xiang Baiwei was feeling doubtful, but she also knew that she had just agreed yesterday, but he went back on his word today, which was really unpleasant.
How about you apologize properly later?
It’s just that there are too many people here now, so it’s not convenient to say anything.
When they were about to pass by the supply and marketing cooperative, Xiang Baiwei reached out and grabbed Jiang Sui's sleeve: "Um... I want to go in and take a look at how the jam and preserved fruit that replaced me are selling."
"I'm afraid it won't work today," Jiang Sui continued walking forward. "Just now when we were having dinner, two people were talking about how the supply and marketing cooperative was closed today. They didn't know why."
“I see.”
Xiang Baiwei didn't have anything else to buy, and since the supply and marketing cooperative was closed, she could only go home.
When they arrived at the entrance of the town, Jiang Sui got on the car and turned to look at Bai Wei: "Get in."
Xiang Baiwei looked around and saw that there were not many people around. She became bolder and reached out to pinch Jiang Sui's sleeve: "Jiang Sui, I was wrong this time. I broke my promise and went back on my word. Don't be angry. I'll apologize to you, okay?"
Jiang Sui lowered his eyes and looked at Bai Wei's fingers pinching his sleeves: "What do you want to do? Can I stop you?"
This tone...
Xiang Baiwei knew she was in the wrong, so she thought for a moment and started to make up a story: "I looked up the almanac and figured out that today is a good day. Look, I've sold all the things I brought with me."
"What we are discussing is not how our day went today," Jiang Sui took a deep breath, "Okay, since you don't want my help anyway, I am just a superfluous person who bothers you and is a burden, that's all."
This is getting more and more outrageous.
Xiang Baiwei reached out to grab the car and looked at Jiang Sui with a guilty look on her face: "Don't be angry, can you please talk nicely?"
Okay, talk nicely.
Jiang Sui rubbed his forehead: "Do you know what I was thinking when I was waiting in the corner?"
"What are you thinking about?" Xiang Baiwei asked, and suddenly remembered something, "Did you guess in advance that I would come today? Otherwise, why are you waiting there before dawn?"
Jiang Sui, who had guessed it a long time ago, looked away and started to lie: "I couldn't sleep, so I came to the morning market with my colleagues to eat. I saw someone whose back looked like you. When I got closer, it was you, so I waited outside."
So that was the case. Xiang Baiwei immediately dispelled her doubts.
The topic was interrupted, and Jiang Sui no longer wanted to continue: "But I'm glad you're okay today. I'm not angry anymore. Let's go back."
Seeing that he was no longer angry and no longer harping on these things, Xiang Baiwei happily got into the car and said, "Let's go."
Jiang Sui looked at his empty waist and said, "Hold my waist tight. I'm in a hurry to go back, so I might ride a little faster."
"ah?"
Bai Wei, who didn't want to have this physical contact, reached out and put her arms around his waist at Jiang Sui's urging: "Hold him tight, let's go!"
On the way, Xiang Baiwei, who was deep in thought, suddenly realized something was wrong: "Aren't you in a hurry to go back? Why are you riding so slowly?"
"Is this still slow? There were people there just now, and the road is not good, with stones on it. I was afraid you would be bumped."
Xiang Baiwei, who wanted to let go, immediately hugged Jiang Sui's waist tightly again when she heard about the stones. She didn't want to be thrown off.
Jiang Sui looked at the two hands on his waist and smiled with satisfaction.
When they reached the door of their home, Xiang Baiwei let go of her hand and said, "Ride slower so I can get off."
Jiang Sui looked at his waist again reluctantly: "Okay, I'll stop first."
