The two men walked to a small river not far from the city gate. There were overgrown weeds here. They sat on the rocks by the river. The weeds just covered their figures. The weeds swayed in the wind, making rustling sounds.
As soon as Xu Qianjiao sat down, she began to stare at the roast chicken in Cheng Jiawen's hand. Cheng Jiawen laughed in his heart, this girl, she can even take away a roast chicken, what a fool.
As he thought this, his hands did not slow down at all. He put the roast chicken on the stone, squatted by the river to wash his hands, then opened the oil paper, tore the roast chicken into two halves, and handed half to Xu Qianjiao.
Xu Qianjiao looked at the obviously larger roast chicken in front of her and immediately smiled. She reached out to take the roast chicken and smiled sweetly, "Thank you."
She tore off the drumstick of the roast chicken. She was still full and couldn't finish such a big roast chicken. She could eat the drumstick first and take the rest home and eat it secretly tonight.
She had a beautiful idea. After tearing off the chicken legs, she wrapped the remaining roast chicken with oil paper and stuffed it into her small backpack, covering it tightly to prevent any smell from leaking out.
Fortunately, the cold roast chicken didn’t smell as strong as the freshly roasted one. She stuffed it into her backpack and couldn’t smell anything at all.
She sat on the stone, smelled the roasted chicken leg with relish, then took a bite, her taste buds instantly satisfied.
The meat is tender and delicious. Although it is a bit cold, it is still delicious. This roast chicken should be marinated. It is sweet and tasty. The more you eat, the more you want to eat. Even the bones are fragrant.
As soon as you take a bite, your mouth is full of oil. The chicken is tender and a little charred. It is really delicious.
After a few bites, Xu Qianjiao finished the chicken leg. She burped, walked to the river, washed her hands and rinsed her mouth. She sat back on the stone and looked sideways at Cheng Jiawen who was slowly eating the chicken.
This man is thin but not weak, has a tough look, and has a somewhat bad temperament, but it doesn't make people feel vulgar. She likes him in every way. If he doesn't have a girlfriend, she would want to sleep with him.
Wow, it’s such a pity that a young and beautiful girl like me has never been in a relationship. Now that I have met the right one, why not give it a try?
But in this era, if you are in a relationship, you basically have to get married, otherwise it is considered as hooliganism. Oh, it’s so confusing~~
Under Xu Qianjiao's increasingly passionate gaze, Cheng Jiawen felt a red mark on his ear. He tore off a piece of chicken, put it into the corner of his mouth awkwardly, took a bite, and found that the girl was still looking at him.
He thought for a moment, then tore off a piece of chicken from the uneaten area next to him and handed it over. "Hey, do you want to eat it?"
Eat, eat, if you have food to eat, don’t look at me, or he will ruin your mood.
Xu Qianjiao was stunned by his actions. She opened her mouth blankly and said, "Ah."
Cheng Jiawen carefully stuffed the chicken into her mouth. Xu Qianjiao closed her mouth and took a bite. Suddenly, they looked at each other, and a red mark appeared on their faces.
For a long time, neither of them spoke, just staring at each other silently. The surroundings were quiet, with only the river flowing under their feet, making a clear sound.
The ripples of the river reflected the golden sunlight, like a golden painting. The figures of the two people were looming in the grass, as if they were blending into nature.
Xu Qianjiao quickly turned around and scratched the hem of her clothes with her fingers unnaturally. What was she doing? She was doing such intimate actions to a man she had only met twice. Where was her mysophobia? Where did her mysophobia go? She ran away from home automatically when she saw a male homosexual, right?
When Cheng Jiawen saw the red marks on her face, he curled the corners of his mouth and continued what he was doing. He finished the roast chicken in a few bites, then dug a hole with a branch, buried all the chicken bones in it, and then washed his hands and mouth.
He walked up to Xu Qianjiao and stretched out his hand.
"Hmm?" Xu Qianjiao looked at him a little puzzled. Are they going to hold hands? Thinking of this, her heart was jumping. This, this is too fast, I will be embarrassed. She thought so in her heart, but her hand was quickly put on him.
As soon as the two hands touched, both of them were shocked and a trace of unnaturalness flashed across their faces. The red mark on Cheng Jiawen's ear became more obvious, and it expanded directly into patches and spread to both sides of his cheeks.
He pretended to be calm, and after pulling Xu Qianjiao up from the rock, he let go of her hand and said lightly, "Roast chicken money."
"Uh." Upon hearing this, Xu Qianjiao's face turned red. Damn, she was too self-indulgent. It's so embarrassing. Ahhhh, help me, I really want to die on the spot. What should I do? Is there a hole? I really want to crawl into it.
She reached into her pocket and pulled out the few cents she had left. Blushing, she said a little embarrassedly, "Um, I, I'm not trying to dine for free. I just don't have that much money. How about I give you fifty cents first? Is that okay with you?"
As he spoke, his voice became smaller and smaller, until finally it was silent...
Cheng Jiawen glanced at her, took the fifty cents from her hand, and took out a notebook and pen from his pocket. "Here."
Xu Qianjiao looked at the familiar notebook, she took it and began to write the IOU skillfully. The more she wrote, the smoother it became. Never mind, owing a little is still owing, owing more is still owing, and having too many debts is never a burden.
"Here, the IOU."
Cheng Jiawen took a look and said to her lightly: "My name is Cheng Jiawen, remember my name."
"Okay, I'll remember it." Xu Qianjiao replied with a blush. He, is he also interested in me? He asked me to remember his name. Isn't that what they say in novels?
Then, he added, "Don't even know my name. You won't know who to ask for repayment."
When Xu Qianjiao heard this, the deer in her heart died instantly. She rolled her eyes secretly and thought, damn, narcissism is not good. It is easy to cause social destruction if you indulge yourself.
What she didn't see was that Cheng Jiawen turned around and walked forward with a faint smile on his lips and a hint of indulgence in his eyes.
The two walked one in front and the other behind, Xu Qianjiao was in front and Cheng Jiawen followed her one step behind. Neither of them spoke, they just walked quietly.
When he was about to reach the city gate, Cheng Jiawen suddenly stopped and said, "You go ahead. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"good."
Xu Qianjiao went to find Xu's mother and the others. They were waiting for the ox cart together. Xu's mother and the others were chatting about gossip, and Xu Qianjiao listened with great interest.
When the time came, Cheng Jiawen still hadn't returned. Xu Qianjiao glanced at her mother and asked casually, "Hey, isn't Cheng Jiawen coming back?"
When Uncle Liu heard this, he laughed heartily and said, "Well, there's no need to wait for him. He'll go back on his own when he's done."
"Hold on tight, let's go~" Uncle Liu flicked the whip lightly, and the ox cart started moving slowly.
-------------------------------------
After returning to Xu's house, Xu Qianjiao was about to go back to her room. When she reached the door, her mother followed her in and closed the door mysteriously. Xu Qianjiao was startled by her mother and looked at Xu's mother with some confusion.
"Mom, what's wrong? You're so mysterious."
Xu's mother didn't say anything, but just stared at her without blinking. Xu Qianjiao felt a little uneasy under her gaze. What on earth was going on? Could it be that the words on the ox cart had aroused Xu's mother's suspicion?
