Chapter 20 Waiting for Her
This week, Meng Shulan was reading all the time, and since she and Ye Ran were not in the same dormitory, they had little contact.
Ye Ran didn't know if she was waiting for her brother. She walked and looked slowly.
Meng Shulan ignored her and walked straight past her, quickening her pace.
It’s not that I wanted to avoid this person, but the sky has been cloudy all afternoon and it looks like it’s going to rain.
Given the conditions in villages and towns nowadays, even if you have a car, it will be without a roof, and it will be very troublesome when it rains, as it is cold and wet.
But Meng Shulan was unlucky. When she went to the town entrance and asked, she found out that a car had just left.
Although there are cars coming to the town specifically to pick up students for business on Saturday afternoons, only one car just left, so we will have to wait for at least twenty minutes for the next ones.
This is a difficult situation. It's about to rain. Should she wait for the bus or walk?
Meng Shulan was just struggling with her thoughts when she saw a mule poking its head out from the intersection ahead.
I don’t know who built the straw stack, but it just happened to cover the back of the mule.
After staring at the yellow and white mule with white circles under its eyes for a while, Meng Shulan felt familiar with it.
This, it must be Gu Hansong's mule! Thinking of this, Meng Shulan walked over, and then she saw Gu Hansong, sitting in the front of the car, holding a bamboo stick in his hand, looking into the distance.
When he saw Meng Shulan coming over, he glanced at her, but just for a moment, then looked away, lowering his head and staring at his toes.
Meng Shulan: “…”
A week had passed and she had gotten over her anger from last time, but this man's attitude was really infuriating.
Meng Shulan opened her mouth and was about to say something when a figure stood up from behind the car fence and smiled when he saw Meng Shulan.
"Sister, school is over. Come on up, we have to go back as well."
The young man was wearing an octagonal hat and an old military uniform, and his eyes were curved when he smiled. It was Shen Chengyuan.
Meng Shulan was stunned for a moment, then she remembered that this was the young man who sold wool that day.
Why is he in Gu Hansong's car? Is he hitchhiking or do they know each other?
Meng Shulan was a little confused. She asked Gu Hansong, who was staring at his toes, "Are you going back to the village?"
Gu Hansong casually raised his eyes and looked at the road ahead, "Let's go back."
Go back, what are you talking about?
but……
Meng Shulan blinked. This man actually responded to her instead of driving away.
Yes, there is progress.
Meng Shulan: "Take me?"
Gu Hansong didn't say anything, but drove the mule cart onto the road.
Well, if you don’t say anything, I’ll take it as your consent.
Meng Shulan put her bag away first and climbed up directly holding the edge of the car.
Shen Chengyuan originally wanted to help her, but as if he remembered something, he silently put his hands behind his back.
Meng Shulan sat down and the car started moving slowly.
But before he took two steps, he heard someone calling, "Hey, wait a minute, Gu Hansong, wait a minute."
Meng Shulan turned her head and saw Ye Ran chasing after her with something in her hand.
This guy also wants to hitchhike.
Thinking about how Ye Ran had to wait downstairs of the dormitory to warn her last time after she took her family's car, Meng Shulan felt unhappy and rolled her eyes secretly.
Ye Ran saw Meng Shulan's disdain.
If possible, she definitely didn't want to take Gu Hansong's car.
It's not just because Meng Shulan is on top, she also doesn't like Gu Hansong very much.
A peasant with only primary school education, pretending to be noble and arrogant. If it wasn't about to rain, who would want to ride in his shabby car?
But there was no other way. She had asked her brother not to pick her up today. It was about to rain, so she had to get in a car as soon as possible. Otherwise, not only would she get wet, she might also have to walk back by herself.
It’s a pity that Gu Hansong ignored her and even raised his whip.
When Meng Shulan saw this, she laughed secretly, but when she remembered that she had been treated the same way last week, she could no longer laugh.
"Hey, Gu Hansong!"
Ye Ran was carrying a bag on her back, and because she had been spoiled since childhood, she couldn't catch up at all. As she watched the car go away, she stomped her feet in anger.
"What the hell, a peasant and a nerd, what a bunch of rubbish."
Ye Ran cursed casually, but then she was stunned.
Gu Hansong brought Meng Shulan but not himself. Could there be something going on between them?
Ye Ran did not forget that when they were in elementary school in the commune, Gu Hansong protected Meng Shulan like his own sister.
With this guess, Ye Ran smiled.
It's quite interesting that a high school student is meeting a country bumpkin.
The other side.
Meng Shulan had no idea of Ye Ran's disgusting thoughts and was talking to Shen Chengyuan at the moment.
Shen Chengyuan was an extrovert and a chatterbox. He asked this and that, and soon he found out what class Meng Shulan was in and how many people were in her family.
Meng Shulan also asked him, "Why did you park the car behind that haystack just now?"
After a few words, Meng Shulan also realized that he was not hitchhiking, but was acquainted with Gu Hansong.
This matter...
Shen Chengyuan scratched his head subconsciously and said with a smile: "Waiting for someone."
Waiting for someone?
Meng Shulan looked at him curiously and Gu Hansong who was driving in front, "Who are you waiting for?"
Don't accuse her of having wild thoughts. It seems like she is waiting for me.
After all, the car left as soon as she arrived.
Shen Chengyuan smiled and wanted to say something, but suddenly changed his mind and said, "Waiting for my cousin. It's been almost an hour and he hasn't come yet. I have no choice but to go back as it's about to rain."
Oh, I see.
I almost got carried away again.
Meng Shulan laughed.
Yes, it was already not easy for Gu Hansong to agree to let her take a ride, so how could he possibly come all the way here to wait for her?
Shen Chengyuan also laughed, then turned over and got out of the car.
Meng Shulan: “???”
"What are you doing?"
Shen Chengyuan pointed to the village not far away and said, "My family lives there. We are here."
"ah?"
It seems that his house is just at the edge of town, but it's so close, why do you take a car? Meng Shulan opened her mouth wide, and the thoughts that had just been suppressed surged up again.
Having lived through a lifetime, she was no longer the shy little girl she once was. She turned around and asked, "Gu Hansong, did you come here specially to wait for me?"
In fact, even if he was waiting for her there specially, Meng Shulan didn't think it was a big deal.
He said in his previous life that he always remembered the affection they had when they were children, but he didn't know how to communicate with himself at that time.
So, even though his face looks cold at this moment, he must be warm in his heart.
Meng Shulan's words were too blunt.
In this conservative age, it's hard not to think too much.
Gu Hansong's back straightened up all of a sudden. The moment Meng Shulan finished speaking, he took over the conversation, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
The tone was harsh and a bit fierce, but if you listened carefully, you could see a hint of embarrassment in it.
