At the dinner table.
The group casually asked Ning Jinyu, who had just joined the group, some questions.
For example, what did you eat for lunch?
After learning that he had eaten rice noodle rolls with Chu Chu.
Everyone present found it unbelievable.
It's like people from Chongqing coming to Hangzhou just to enjoy a truly authentic bowl of spicy hot pot.
That's absolutely outrageous.
Ning Jinyu and Chu Chu didn't think it was a big deal.
For these two people, "rice noodle rolls" have different meanings.
When we first met, we ate rice noodle rolls.
After getting back together, they agreed that they should celebrate by eating rice noodle rolls.
But then again...
Ning Jinyu's brow furrowed slightly:
"The rice noodle rolls in Hangzhou... are so awful."
"That's obvious."
Ma Jiaojiao chimed in, "Rice noodle rolls are a specialty of your Chaoshan region. No other food can taste as good as the one from its place of origin."
Zhao Xun replied, "Yes, hello, yes."
Ma Jiaojiao looked at him, and the latter calmly replied, "West Lake Vinegar Fish. I guarantee that the West Lake Vinegar Fish in Guangdong is definitely better than the one in Hangzhou..."
Then everyone looked at Lu Yibei, a man from the iron-blooded city of Hangzhou.
The latter was gnawing on tripe.
Only after feeling everyone's gaze did he raise his eyes and confidently express his opinion:
"Did you hear that?"
"That's fucking utter nonsense!"
"That West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce isn't even a proper delicacy..."
It is well-reasoned and convincing.
The meal was eaten early and ended relatively late.
I asked again and found out that Ning Jinyu's flight was at around 6 a.m. tomorrow.
In other words, you have to go to the airport to check in before 5 a.m.
Generally speaking, passengers boarding at this time usually choose to spend the night at the airport. This is because the earliest public transportation from Hangzhou to the airport is 6:00 AM, which is simply not enough time.
Ning Jinyu also had the same plan.
"It's Sunday tomorrow, right? Let's stay another night," Zhao Xun suggested.
"...Then he won't be able to go back until early Monday morning."
Chu Chu said, seemingly a little distressed, "Going back to class right away will take a toll on your body. Going back today will at least give you another day to rest and recover."
"and."
Ning Jinyu added, "If I stay another night, I'll have to stay in a hotel for another day—my eyesight hasn't been very good lately, and I can barely see the balance on my bank card."
Hearing his serious words, some people wanted to laugh.
They all knew that Ning Jinyu's financial situation was indeed not very optimistic at the moment, and that being able to come to Jiangnan was already a matter of cutting back on food and clothing.
Of course, apart from Ji Qingqian, the rich woman, among everyone present, whether it's Lu Yibei or Hao Zhangwen, it wouldn't be a problem to pay them to stay in a hotel for one night.
But even if they were willing to invite her, Ning Jinyu would not accept their kindness.
They are indeed friends, but this "friendship" is currently based on the fact that Lu Yibei, Hao Zhangwen, and Chu Chu are friends.
Ning Jinyu was surprised by the reality of these matters.
He didn't want Chu Chu to be caught in the middle because of money.
Moreover—
"I'll go back to Chaoshan for Qingming Festival," Chu Chu said softly to Ning Jinyu.
She brought this up again at around 5 a.m.
Sunrise is approaching.
The lights inside Hangzhou Airport were so bright that it was like daytime, making it hard to notice that dawn was approaching.
It was only after Ning Jinyu spoke that Chu Chu realized that the time had come.
Chu Chu and Ning Jinyu took the last subway train to the airport last night.
She stayed with him at the airport overnight.
However, in the early hours of the morning, Chu Chu couldn't take it anymore and leaned against the boy's body, taking a short nap.
I'm a light sleeper.
I would wake up for a while and then fall asleep again.
When she woke up, she said a few words to the boy, but when she fell asleep again, she forgot what she had said.
Until now.
Ning Jinyu said it was almost time and he had to leave.
Chu Chu finally came to her senses.
"I'll go back for Qingming Festival," Chu Chu repeated firmly.
"Okay." Ning Jinyu nodded.
His expression remained as indifferent as ever, but his eyes were somewhat weary; a sleepless night had left many traces of fatigue on his face.
Chu Chu reminds you:
"Check everything first, make sure you don't forget anything."
"…Um."
Ning Jinyu said that he didn't actually have much luggage, just a small canvas backpack. The original dark blue canvas had been washed until it turned white and looked a bit old.
He slung his backpack over his shoulder and then rummaged through his pockets.
There wasn't much in his pocket except for a 10,000 mAh power bank, which Chu Chu had given him from his dorm room for him to use on the way.
But after flipping through them, a piece of paper slipped out from between his fingers.
It landed right in front of Chu Chu's toes.
Chu Chu bent down and picked it up:
"What's this?"
She opened it and saw that the note was crumpled and wrinkled.
Only two words were written in black and white on the paper.
——"Chu Chu."
That is her name.
"...Why are you carrying this?" she asked, puzzled.
Ning Jinyu took the note Chu Chu handed her and said softly, "I'm worried you won't forgive me."
Chu Chu: "...And then?"
"If you don't forgive me, I will carry a note with your name on it every day from now on."
Ning Jinyu said, "That way, even if I suddenly die one day, you will be suspected of murder—I read that in a book."
