Chapter 45 Chapter 45 "I've seen this sister before."...
Jiang Changjia straightened her slightly bent back, and the evening breeze blew on her face, feeling warm. She and Song Shiyang had known each other for such a long time, but in fact, her understanding of him was not very deep, more of it was just superficial.
When he was young, he was unrestrained and although he would do some rebellious things on impulse, he always had his own considerations and would never cross that line. His thoughts as an adult were even more difficult to understand.
After thinking about it, Jiang Changjia decided not to think about it. After all, it was just fastening a seat belt, and it was probably just something he did casually. With his personality, he would do it.
Song Shiyang brought Zhang Fa into the car. Zhang Fa was a little drunk, but still somewhat conscious. Song Shiyang frowned, one hand on the top of the car door, and with the other hand tugging at his clothes, asked: "Are we going somewhere?"
"Yes! Just find a hotel and drop me off there." Zhang Fa said vaguely, and they huddled together. Song Shiyang's brows tightened even more. Looking at Zhang Fa's dead look, he couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "Idiot."
Then he let go and Zhang Fa almost fell down.
Song Shiyang sat in the driver's seat, his head tilted back, his right hand resting on the center console, squinting at the front. Jiang Changjia's rather cool car swung its tail in the night and disappeared from his sight.
He lowered his eyes and remained silent. The only sounds in the entire car were Zhang Fa's slightly rapid breathing and a few confused whispers.
After a while, the car started slowly.
Zhang Fa, who was standing behind him, turned over, making a slight noise, and suddenly said, "Song Shiyang, I've seen that sister."
The man thought he was just talking in his sleep and ignored him. Zhang Fa then said, "I really saw it. It was in the apartment where you lived when you were studying abroad."
Then he paused and continued, "The big group photo in your room."
Song Shiyang's back stiffened.
**
That night Xu Sui had a dream. She hadn't dreamed of the past for a long, long time.
I dreamed of No. 1 City in a long time, as if I had returned to the past.
The content of the dream was disjointed and stuck, but there was one scene that Xu Sui remembered very clearly. It was the eve of the final semester of his first year of high school.
On the last day of evening study, Jiang Song, Zhang Wenjun and several other boys were fighting and pushing each other near the back door. I pulled your clothes and you pulled my pants.
Zhang Wenjun's sharp voice continued to ring out from behind.
"Fuck, stop pulling my pants. Jiang Song, who are you working with?"
"Didn't you say that I was jealous of your second place? I am definitely not in the same group with you." Jiang Song's mean and frivolous voice reached Xu Sui's ears. She stopped writing and looked back. She was obviously looking for someone following the voice, but what she saw was Song Shiyang leaning against the door frame with a smile on his face.
Several boys kept wiping the blackboard at the back with their school uniforms. By the time they noticed, a small part had already been wiped clean. It wasn't a big deal originally, as it was the last day anyway.
But someone pointed out that the four words "pass every exam" were erased.
It has to be made up no matter what.
Although they are all young people of the 21st century, they are always a bit superstitious when it comes to exams, otherwise there would not be the saying of worshipping Confucius before taking the exam.
The group thought for a moment, and finally, more than a dozen pairs of eyes fell on the man lazily leaning against the door frame. Song Shiyang paused, and asked with a somewhat strange expression: "As for it?"
"As for it!" A group of people said in unison. Xu Sui almost couldn't hold back his laughter in his seat, looking at them with smiling eyes.
Song Shiyang was amused, scoffed and said nonchalantly: "Okay."
So he walked over and picked up a piece of chalk from someone's hand. He paused before writing, then wrote "夆", and then wrote "考" (a little less than a glance) a little below the right side, wrote "心" on the left, and "寸" on the right.
At that time, everyone was a little confused, with doubt clearly written on their faces. Xu Sui pretended to pour water and walked to the back. The moment he passed by them, he strung the four words together with one stroke.
It is done in one go and is magnificent.
There was a constant "Wow!" in my ears. Everyone was shocked by this operation and couldn't help but exclaim: "Awesome, brother."
She couldn't help but stop and look at the four big words on the lower left corner of the blackboard. To be honest, they were very beautiful.
May you pass every exam, that is a blessing to all of them, including her.
The next day, Xu Sui woke up with a still dizzy head, especially his solar plexus, which hurt like a needle.
She frowned and reached for the phone next to her. It was nine o'clock in the morning.
She sat on the bed in a daze, trying to recall what happened last night bit by bit, but she got stuck a little bit after introducing herself. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't remember anything. She only remembered that it seemed like Jiang Changjia sent her back.
Xu Sui went out wearing slippers.
As soon as I went out, I bumped into my grandmother coming out of the kitchen, and I suddenly felt a little guilty.
Because she didn't say hello to her family before going to the bar, it must have been very late when she came back.
Xu Sui stood there with her head lowered, waiting for the old lady to speak, but her grandmother just glanced at her and pretended to be angry and said, "Go wash up quickly! You woke up when the sun was already shining on your butt. This girl went to Changjia's house to drink without telling us. It was so late at night that we almost called the police."
Xu Sui was in the wrong, so she could only lower her head and remain silent, listening to the old man "scold" her.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the hangover soup in his grandmother's hand and smiled: "Grandma, I was wrong. I swear, I won't do this again next time."
The old lady glared at Xu Sui and asked, "Will there be a next time?"
"No! Not next time." Xu Sui quickly slipped into the bathroom, squeezed toothpaste and started brushing his teeth.
When they came out, breakfast was already on the table. Xu Sui looked around but didn't see Zhou Xianzhi. He asked in surprise, "Where's Grandpa? Doesn't he eat breakfast?"
Grandma poured Xu Sui a bowl of mung bean porridge and said, "He ate a long time ago and went to the community to practice Tai Chi early in the morning."
Xu Sui paused holding the bun and teased with a smile: "Grandpa also knows Tai Chi?"
"With Grandpa Zhao next door, they either play chess or practice Tai Chi every day." Grandma smiled and shook her head.
Xu Sui blinked, a little surprised, "After so many years, our relationship is still so good?"
"Isn't it? Although they have quarreled and had conflicts, they started playing together again after a night. Grandma Zhao said that they are like a cat meeting a mouse, both loving to make noise and play." Grandma said happily and picked up a piece of pickled vegetables with chopsticks and put it in the bowl.
Then he went on and on about a lot of things, as if he wanted to tell you everything that had happened in the six months that Xu Sui was away from home.
Xu Sui chewed the steamed bun slowly, listened to the old man's mumbling, and handed him water at the right time.
As she was talking, grandma started talking about the neighbors around her. For example, Grandma Zhang across the street had a grandson last year. The big fat boy was so cute and adorable.
Or maybe one of Xu’s junior high school classmates got married last year. The couple was a handsome man and a beautiful woman, and it was a pleasure to look at.
Xu Sui buried his head and stopped talking, even the sound of his chewing became much quieter.
"Hey, did you hear that, Xu Sui?" He didn't even call him by his nickname, but just called him Xu Sui.
Xu Sui looked up and pretended to be stupid: "Hmm? I'm listening. Yes, yes, they are a perfect match. I wish you all the best."
"So when are you going to find a friend to come and see your grandmother? Look, Siyun is planning to get married at the end of the year. You two are about the same age. Do you want your grandmother to take a look at her? Or call a matchmaker so you can have a look?"
Xu Sui was drinking porridge and almost choked.
"Ahem." She choked out a loud voice and wiped her mouth with a tissue: "Look at each other, I'm looking at each other right now. If we like each other, I'll bring her back to you to see."
Xu Sui uses the methods he has seen on social media to deal with his elders.
Grandma was skeptical: "Is it true?"
"Real, more real than pearls."
"Hai City? It's too far away. Local ones are better." The old man kept talking. Xu Sui half-answered and thought about the general content of the press release in a few days.
When I return to Haishi, all the things and people I encountered in the past few days will be forgotten, and everything will return to its original state, just like a dream.
Xu Sui's flight was at nine in the morning. She stood at the door wearing the clothes she wore when she came back that day and said goodbye to the two old people. Her aunt also came down from upstairs and stuffed a red envelope into her hand. Xu Sui couldn't refuse it no matter how hard she tried, so she just took it in her hand.
Perhaps Zhou Xiaoling succeeded in promoting Shu Siyun, otherwise her aunt wouldn't be so attentive. However, she seemed unaware of how low Xu Sui's status was in Zhou Xiaoling's heart.
Before boarding the plane, her colleague Shi Miao called her. After the two talked about work, Shi Miao said he would pick her up at the airport and go shopping together at the MixC in Hai City.
Xu Sui wanted to refuse at first because she was always tired after taking a plane and just wanted to go home and have a good sleep, but seeing that the girl opposite her was in high spirits, she didn't want to spoil her fun, so she simply agreed.
As the plane flew across the sky, she watched the tall buildings of Chongqing gradually turn into tiny black dots and finally disappear into the clouds. She said goodbye to this city in her heart, and the next time she would come back would be at the end of the year.
After eight or nine hours, they finally arrived at Hai City Airport. As soon as Xu Sui arrived at the airport gate, he saw Shi Miao, who had a delicate face. The girl was wearing brightly colored clothes and looked very lively.
"Dear reporter Xu, I finally waited for you." Shi Miao rushed over and acted coquettishly, rubbing Xu Sui's arm. Xu Sui gave her a hug and took out his cell phone to take a taxi, but was stopped by Shi Miao.
"My boyfriend brought me here. Let him take us to Vientiane City. We don't have to take a taxi." Her eyebrows were curved and her eyes, painted with bright eyeshadow, blinked.
Xu Sui frowned: "Let's take a taxi."
She didn't know Shi Miao's boyfriend, and Xu Sui was not a person who liked to disturb others. In her opinion, riding in someone else's car was like owing that person a favor.
Shi Miao said nonchalantly: "Why take a taxi? It's his honor to serve his girlfriend and her friends. Let's go." The girl was one year younger than Xu Sui, pretty and cute, with the vitality that Xu Sui had always lacked.
Unable to refuse Shi Miao's enthusiasm, Xu Sui had no choice but to follow Shi Miao.
After crossing the crosswalk, a car slowly stopped in front of them. The window rolled down, revealing a face that Xu Sui was quite familiar with. It was still as bright and sunny as it was in high school. Xu Sui seemed to still hear his words.
"My name is Chen Yun, and I'm from the class next to yours."
