Bought a car
A little after seven in the morning, Jiang Zhizhi returned home and found that Cheng Yuping was not at home.
Are you going out so early?
Jiang Zhizhi went into her room, took her luggage out of the suitcase and sorted it out one by one.
By the way, I sent a text message to Cheng Yuping to tell her that I had arrived home.
Cheng Yuping called quickly, "Zhizhi, I'm upstairs with Xiaoye. Have you had breakfast?"
"I've eaten. Mom, what are you doing at Lu Xiye's place?" Jiang Zhizhi asked with a frown.
"I've been staying at Xiaoye's place for the past two weeks you've been away. I can't explain it in a few words. Do you want to come up and eat something? We're having breakfast right now."
Living with Lu Xiye?
Jiang Zhizhi had a face full of question marks.
Why live there if you can't live in your own home?
Could it be that Cheng Yuping felt lonely because she had been away for a few days?
Jiang Zhizhi had no choice but to go up to the fourth floor. Before she knocked on the door, Cheng Yuping heard her footsteps and opened the door.
After not seeing her for two weeks, Cheng Yuping looked radiant. It was obvious without asking that she had been having a good time during this period.
"Zhizhi, why are you back so early? Was it the senior brother you mentioned who drove you back?"
Jiang Zhizhi walked in, looked around the room, and shook her head, "I came back by myself."
Aunt Zhou is still busy in the kitchen.
The dining table was filled with various breakfasts. Lu Xiye was eating, but he stopped when he saw her come in.
The moment their eyes met, he suddenly lowered his head and avoided her guiltily.
?
Jiang Zhizhi asked a question in her mind and turned to look at Cheng Yuping, "Mom, why are you living here?"
Cheng Yuping glanced at Lu Xiye, pulled Jiang Zhizhi to the balcony, and whispered to her what had happened in the past few days.
After returning from the hospital, Lu Hengshan specially found a psychologist for Lu Xiye.
After several diagnoses, the doctor initially determined that Lu Xiye was suffering from bipolar depression.
"I heard that children with depression are prone to being depressed. After Aunt Zhou left at night, he was left alone at home. I was afraid something might happen to him..." Cheng Yuping lowered her voice deliberately for fear that Lu Xiye would hear it.
"So, now you and Aunt Zhou take turns watching him day and night?"
Jiang Zhizhi glanced back at Lu Xiye in the restaurant. In her previous life, she would never have believed that Lu Xiye would suffer from depression...
"What do you plan to do in the future? Will you live here and take care of him?" Jiang Zhizhi asked.
Cheng Yuping sighed, "At least wait until his condition gets better before we talk about it."
"Okay." Jiang Zhizhi was also helpless, as if she had gone out and Lu Xiye had stolen her home. "By the way, Mom, did you get your driver's license?"
"I was just about to tell you about this. My driver's license was issued yesterday. I knew you were coming back today, so I made an appointment with your Aunt Fang and Uncle Li to go look at cars today. It's a good opportunity for you to go with us." Cheng Yuping held Jiang Zhizhi's hand and said happily, "There's something else I want to tell you."
"What's up?"
"Our household registration has been moved here, and you can go to school at the No. 1 High School in the city."

After lunch in the afternoon, Cheng Yuping brought Jiang Zhizhi and Lu Xiye to the door of the 4S store early. After waiting for less than ten minutes, Li Mingzhang and Fang Yi drove over with Li Rongrong.
"Zhizhi!" Li Rongrong happily ran over to Jiang Zhizhi and hugged her. "Did you have fun in K City? Did you take any pictures?"
"Yes, it's at Xu Qingbo's place."
"Xu Qingbo? How come you are at his place? Did you go with him?" Li Rongrong asked in surprise.
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and said, "It was actually a coincidence. The place Xu Qingbo's uncle wanted to take him was exactly the same place my teacher took me. I only found out when we met that his uncle was also my teacher's student."
"Oh, I see." Li Rongrong walked around Jiang Zhizhi and looked at Lu Xiye behind her. "But, your family is buying a car, why did this guy follow you?"
Jiang Zhizhi joked, "Him? He's just a pendant of my mother's now."
"Who do you say is the pendant?" Lu Xiye complained dissatisfiedly.
Jiang Zhizhi was about to reply to him when her cell phone suddenly rang.
She glanced at the incoming call. It was Xu Qingbo. "You guys go in first. I'll take a call."
As she spoke, she walked to the side and answered the phone.
"Hello, Xu Qingbo?"
"I'm going to Shangyuan Photo Studio to develop photos later. Do you want to come with me and choose some? There are too many photos I took and I can't develop them all." Xu Qingbo said.
"Okay, what time?"
"It's two o'clock now. How about three-thirty?"
"Can."
"Then let's meet at Shangyuan Station at 3:30."
After hanging up the phone, Li Rongrong asked curiously, "Zhizhi, did Xu Qingbo ask you out?"
"Well, we're going to get the pictures developed."
"Photos? Are these the photos you took in K City? I want to see them too! I've never been to K City before." Li Rongrong came over excitedly, "I'll go with you. Lu Xiye, are you going?"
Lu Xiye snorted lightly, "What's so good about a few photos?"
"Forget it if you don't want to go. Zhizhi and I will go together." Li Rongrong put her arm around Jiang Zhizhi and said intimately.
"I didn't say I wouldn't go. It just so happens that I also want to go to Shangyuan to buy some things..." he muttered.
Li Rongrong was speechless, "Lu Xiye, you are such an awkward person."

Jiang Zhizhi had no interest in buying a car and did not express any opinion throughout the process.
At the suggestion of Li Mingzhang and Fang Yi, Cheng Yuping bought a white Volkswagen sedan for a total price of 120,000 yuan, which was not expensive, but enough for her.
Cheng Yuping's driving skills were not yet proficient, so Fang Yi took her, Jiang Zhizhi, Lu Xiye, and Li Rongrong for a test drive around the city. When they returned to the store, Cheng Yuping paid the full amount.
"Sister Cheng, don't be afraid. It's very easy to drive on the road. I will accompany you to practice driving more in the next few days, and you will be familiar with it soon." Fang Yi comforted her warmly.
"Thank you, Fang Yi. When I'm ready, let's take Rongrong and Zhizhi out to play."
"Okay, it's just right for you to practice for a semester. When they have winter vacation, it will be up to you to go out and play." Fang Yi joked.
After buying the car, Li Mingzhang drove back by himself, while Fang Yi drove the new car and took Cheng Yuping and the three little ones to Shangyuan.
After sending them to the station, Fang Yi said, "Rongrong, you three can play here, but remember to go home early. I'll go practice driving with your godmother."
Standing at Shangyuan Station, Jiang Zhizhi watched Fang Yi driving away with Cheng Yuping, and felt very grateful.
Although she was the one who saved Li Rongrong in elementary school, it was obvious that the Li family helped her family more later.
In her previous life, after passing the driving test, she had to figure things out on her own. Thinking about it now, she still felt powerless.
Cheng Yuping felt more at ease knowing that someone was accompanying her on the journey.
"Zhizhi, has Xu Qingbo arrived? Give him a call." Li Rongrong looked around the station but didn't see Xu Qingbo. She was impatient and couldn't help but urge him.
Jiang Zhizhi took out her cell phone and was about to call Xu Qingbo when suddenly a bus pulled into the station. She saw Xu Qingbo standing at the exit.
There were several people wearing white clothes in the car, but only he was so conspicuous with his elegant and refined temperament.
When he got out of the car, he was carrying a simple white shoulder bag across his shoulder and wearing the baseball cap he had bought with Jiang Zhizhi before. He looked youthful.
"Xu Qingbo, here."
Li Rongrong waved at him loudly.
Xu Qingbo had already seen them and walked over here as soon as he got out of the car.
He was not surprised to see Li Rongrong coming along, but when he saw Lu Xiye, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
However, he didn't ask any more questions and directly told Jiang Zhizhi, "I checked the photos in my computer this morning. I took about five or six hundred photos in total. I deleted some duplicate and meaningless ones, but there are still more than three hundred photos."
"You took so many pictures?" Li Rongrong was shocked.
"Because I was gone for more than two weeks." Xu Qingbo said as he glanced at Jiang Zhizhi. On the way back, Jiang Zhizhi specifically reminded him not to tell anyone about her hospitalization.
Especially Li Rongrong.
Li Rongrong is a big talker. If she knew, Cheng Yuping would definitely know.
Jiang Zhizhi didn't want to make her mother worry.
"I really envy you guys." Li Rongrong pursed her lips and said enviously, "I haven't even gone out to play this summer."
Xu Qingbo looked at her and said with a smile, "You want to go out and play so much? How about we go to the water park together tomorrow? Jiang Zhizhi, are you free?"
As he finished speaking, his eyes fell on Jiang Zhizhi.
"Water park? Which water park?" Li Rongrong asked excitedly.
"I heard from my mom that there's a new water park in Jinhai District. There's going to be a summer costume parade there tomorrow. It's going to be really lively."
"A costume parade! Sounds like fun!" Li Rongrong's interest was piqued. She grabbed Jiang Zhizhi's arm and said, "Zhizhi, let's go together. We haven't been out together for a long time. Besides, this is the first time Xu Qingbo has taken the initiative to ask us out, so we can't ignore him."
Jiang Zhizhi nodded. "I wonder if Qingyu is free. If we all go, we can't leave her out, right?"
"I'll call her right now." Li Rongrong was a man of action and immediately took out her cell phone.
Jiang Zhizhi looked at Lu Xiye who was feeling uncomfortable and said, "Lu Xiye, why don't you come with us? Aren't you in a bad mood? It's a good opportunity to relax."
"How can I be in a bad mood?" Lu Xiye curled his lips, and the unhappiness on his face was overflowing.
"Really? Since you're in a good mood, why not go out and play together?" Jiang Zhizhi knew that he, like her, didn't want anyone to know that he was sick, so she raised her lips and smiled.
Xu Qingbo glanced at his watch and said, "It's almost four o'clock. Let's go to the photo studio first. We have a lot of photos, and if we're late we might not have enough time to develop them all."
On the other side, Li Rongrong told Lin Qingyu about the water park and asked who would be traveling with them. She then agreed.
