Chapter 252 The Game
Jiang Zhizhi was eager to go out, but Zhou Xiye stopped her by saying, "Don't rush, wait for her to come out."
He glanced at the counters in the store again and asked Jiang Zhizhi, "Would you like some candied hawthorns?"
Jiang Zhizhi looked at Zhou Xiye in surprise. Even at a time like this, he still wanted to eat candied hawthorn?
Zhou Xiye gently patted her shoulder, signaling her to wait. He walked towards the counter, bought a string of candied hawthorns, and also bought three cents worth of fruit candy.
He handed the candied hawthorn to Jiang Zhizhi and stuffed some fruit candies into her coat pocket: "Orange candies, the sour ones can refresh you."
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and looked out the window: "They haven't come out yet."
Zhou Xiye said patiently, "No rush, let's go eat now."
Before they could leave, Sun Xiaoyue came out of the post office first, looking rather unwell. She stood at the post office entrance, looked around, and then quickly walked towards them.
Jiang Zhizhi exclaimed in surprise, "She discovered us?"
Zhou Xiye glanced at Sun Xiaoyue crossing the street: "Someone must have told her."
Judging from the current situation, Sun Xiaoyue is so stupid that the other party has not given her any tasks other than arranging for her to become the daughter of the Jiang family. Otherwise, it would be tantamount to courting death.
Just as Sun Xiaoyue was about to lift the curtain to come in, Jiang Zhizhi quickly pulled it open, nearly stabbing Sun Xiaoyue in the face with the candied hawthorn in her hand, exclaiming, "Ouch..."
Sun Xiaoyue was also startled and took a step back. When she saw that it was Jiang Zhizhi, her heart skipped a beat: "What are you doing here?"
She had just called for help, hoping the other party would help her deal with Jiang Zhizhi, but was called an idiot and told that Zhou Xiye would definitely be near the post office right now.
Tell her to calm down and not cause any trouble, or she'll be sent back to her hometown.
After the reprimand, the other party immediately hung up the phone.
Sun Xiaoyue was unwilling to accept this. She didn't believe that Zhou Xiye and Jiang Zhizhi would be waiting for her in a nearby shop and spying on her. After all, they were the ones who came out first. Did they have the ability to predict the future?
Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhizhi and the others were actually there!
Jiang Zhizhi gave her a disdainful look: "Move aside, don't block the way."
Sun Xiaoyue was so angry she could only glare helplessly, and silently took two steps back.
Jiang Zhizhi glanced at Sun Xiaoyue, then slowly walked out while munching on a candied hawthorn.
Zhou Xiye followed behind Jiang Zhizhi, not even glancing at Sun Xiaoyue, and walked past her, busily wrapping a scarf around Jiang Zhizhi's neck.
Sun Xiaoyue watched Zhou Xiye and Jiang Zhizhi walk away, then turned to look at the store door. She was a little unsure if Zhou Xiye and Jiang Zhizhi had been waiting there all along, knowing that she would go to the post office to make a phone call.
Or was it just a coincidence? How could they possibly have guessed that she would definitely make the call?
Sun Xiaoyue's mind was already not working well, and now it was even worse. She rubbed her head and felt waves of throbbing pain.
...
Jiang Zhizhi was overjoyed and went with Zhou Xiye to the state-run canteen not far away. They had brought steamed buns, so they ordered two bowls of soup noodles to soak the steamed buns in.
"Shouldn't we investigate who Sun Xiaoyue actually called?"
Jiang Zhizhi was very curious. Wouldn't this investigation help her find the other person?
Zhou Xiye shook his head and said to Jiang Zhizhi in a very low voice, "There's no rush, and it's easy to find out. The operators have records of it. Song Dong can find out with just a few questions. But Sun Xiaoyue hesitated for a while at the post office entrance and then went straight to the store, which means that the other party gave her a hint. She came here to verify what the other party said."
Jiang Zhizhi nodded excitedly: "Yes, yes, I understand! The other party must think Sun Xiaoyue is stupid. They are probably panicking when they call her now, after all, they have been hiding for so long and they may be exposed in an instant."
"So now we're going to play psychological warfare and see who jumps out first."
Zhou Xiye smiled and picked up the only slice of meat in his bowl and gave it to Jiang Zhizhi: "Eat first, there's still tomorrow. Let them be nervous for a while."
He also knew that since the other party was using Sun Xiaoyue, they must have known what kind of problems Sun Xiaoyue would cause and had definitely come up with a solution.
We can't let such a ticking time bomb explode at any moment, so even if we manage to catch it, it might not be the final big fish.
Jiang Zhizhi felt happy just thinking about it, and even the meat she ate tasted especially delicious: "Where are you going this afternoon?"
Zhou Xiye thought for a moment: "I'll go take care of some things first, then I'll go home."
Jiang Zhizhi laughed and said, "Okay, I'll try to go home earlier after school."
I completely forgot that relatives were coming to visit.
In the afternoon class, Sun Xiaoyue was very well-behaved and sat in her seat, looking very diligent.
Jiang Zhizhi noticed that several classmates she had spoken to before were always looking at her curiously, their eyes filled with a sense of unspoken words.
She was a little curious, so she asked Ge Qinghua during the break, "Sister Qinghua, what happened at noon? They were looking at me strangely."
Ge Qinghua originally thought that if Jiang Zhizhi couldn't sense it, she wouldn't say anything to avoid upsetting her. However, she didn't expect Jiang Zhizhi to be so perceptive: "They heard from Sun Xiaoyue that your husband is more than ten years older than you, and they think that you are so young, and you are willing to marry an old man in his thirties, so you must be interested in his family background."
"Zhizhi, don't take it to heart. I know you and Zhou Xiye have a good relationship, and you two are a perfect match."
Jiang Zhizhi rested her chin on her hand and frowned for a while: "Sister Qinghua, it's not like that. Zhou Xiye looks older because he spent a few years in a high-altitude area and then stayed in the border region. The ultraviolet radiation there is strong, and the training intensity is high, so he looks older. If he comes back looking clean and tidy, it means he went to relax."
After hearing this, Ge Qinghua immediately apologized: "Zhizhi, I didn't think that way. I understand. Zhou Xiye must have had a tough time. If it weren't for their efforts, we wouldn't be able to sit peacefully in the classroom."
Jiang Zhizhi didn't speak, but rested her chin on her hand and looked in Sun Xiaoyue's direction.
Suddenly standing up, she walked towards Sun Xiaoyue. Ge Qinghua was startled, fearing that Jiang Zhizhi would go and start a fight, so she quickly followed.
Jiang Zhizhi stood in front of Sun Xiaoyue's desk, suddenly leaned down, placed her hands on the desk, and looked at Sun Xiaoyue.
Sun Xiaoyue was startled and stared at Jiang Zhizhi, asking, "What are you doing?"
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? Let's chat. How about we play a game?"
Sun Xiaoyue looked at Jiang Zhizhi warily: "What game? I need to read, I don't have time to play with you."
Jiang Zhizhi stared into Sun Xiaoyue's eyes without saying a word. When Sun Xiaoyue's eyes began to dart away, she smiled and said, "Let's play truth or dare. You say something to me, and I say something to you, okay?"
Sun Xiaoyue suddenly felt as if her throat was being choked. She gripped her book tightly and stared at Jiang Zhizhi.
How could she dare to gamble this with Jiang Zhizhi!
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and looked at her deskmate: "How about having Cheng Feng be a witness? Sun Xiaoyue, you're not scared, are you?"
