After walking for about half an hour, they entered a small village. The road in the village was not very good and it was very wobbly. After a while, Zhou Qian became carsick.
Lu Jing noticed her pale face, slowed down the car, turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I feel a little carsick."
Lu Jing pulled over and stopped the car, "Let's get out and get some fresh air."
"Is it still far?"
“It’s not far, but there’s no rush.”
Zhou Qian unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car. There was a small ditch beside the road, a field of crops on the other side, and a row of houses scattered in the distance.
Zhou Qian squatted on the ground holding her stomach for a few minutes and felt a little better. She turned her head and saw Lu Jing leaning against the car body smoking, his eyes fixed on the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.
He would inadvertently appear in this state these days, but in the next moment he would smile at her as if nothing had happened.
Zhou Qian felt bad. She would rather he tell her everything he was thinking than keep it in his heart and suffer by himself.
After Lu Jing finished smoking, he walked up to Zhou Qian and extended his hand to her. Zhou Qian looked up at him, put her hand in his palm, and stood up with the help of his strength.
"Better?"
Zhou Qian nodded. When the wind blew, she snuggled into Lu Jing's arms and looked up at him, "Are we not going back today?"
Lu Jing hugged her and glanced at the watch on his wrist. "It will be very late if we go back. You can also play here for two days."
Zhou Qian's eyes lit up, "Is there anything fun or delicious?"
"That's not the case."
Zhou Qian lost interest immediately. "Forget it, I'd better go back and keep my job."
Although the work is flexible, I cannot be absent for 15 days a month.
Lu Jing pinched her cheek and asked, "How can I let you starve to death?"
"That's hard to say. At least I still have a job, but you don't even have one."
Lu Jing was so angry that he laughed, "I have a pot."
"What blame? Taking the blame?" Zhou Qian raised his eyebrows.
"It doesn't matter what kind of pot it is, as long as it can feed you."
Zhou Qian wrapped her arms around his waist, clinging to him like a clingy kitten. "Will you support me forever?"
"What else?" Raise half and throw it away? Or raise half and she still wants to run away?
Zhou Qian unconsciously pursed her lips, her bright eyes smiling like a flower, and she got out of his arms, "Let's go quickly."
Lu Jing also curled the corners of his mouth behind him.
…
Ten minutes later, the car finally stopped in front of an old house.
Lu Jing got off the car and stood in front of the dusty gate for a while. Soon a man in his thirties hurried over and called him from a distance.
"Little Deer..."
Lu Jing looked over following the sound, a smile appeared on his handsome face. He walked over and bumped shoulders with the other person tacitly.
"After not seeing you for so many years, you're getting more and more stylish."
Lu Jing said generously, "You are not bad either, your face is full of rosy glow."
In response to his teasing, the other person shook her head helplessly, "Oh right, it rained heavily recently, and I was afraid my things would get soaked, so I moved them upstairs."
"Thank you." Lu Jing patted him on the shoulder.
"Go in and get your things first. My mom will make you something delicious tonight, and we can have a nice drink together."
"Don't keep Auntie busy, we have to go back later."
"Because of our close relationship, we must have this meal. Otherwise, my mother won't agree." The other party patted Lu Jing's shoulder, "It's settled."
Lu Jing and A Hang met when his mother was helping him wash clothes by the river. A Hang and his friends were throwing stones by the river and the water splashed on his mother.
Lu Jing thought they did it on purpose, so he rushed forward and pushed the leader, Ahang, to the ground, and the two men started fighting.
Later, the two became good friends after a fight.
Lu Jing took the key and opened the door and went in. This was the house they rented twenty years ago. The landlord was an old lady who had passed away for many years and the house had been empty.
After going up to the second floor and opening the door, a layer of dust rose from inside. Lu Jing turned around and said to Zhou Qian, "Don't come in."
Zhou Qian followed him in. In the small room, there were only two wooden boxes that looked quite old.
Lu Jing found a rag and wiped the box clean, then opened it. Inside were some children's toys, old clothes, and women's things.
When Zhou Qian saw Lu Jing staring at it in a daze, he knew that it belonged to him and his mother.
The scene brought back memories of the incident. This must be the only thing his mother left him. He must want to be alone with his mother for a while.
Zhou Qian quietly retreated and went downstairs to look for the bathroom, but after searching around he couldn't find it. Finally, he found a toilet outside the yard.
When Zhou Qian came back, Lu Jing had already moved the things down and put them in the trunk of the car.
In the evening, they went to Ahang's house for dinner. Ahang's family was very welcoming. During the meal, they talked a lot about Lu Jing and Ahang's childhood.
Although they have only been together for two months, there are still many interesting things between them.
Zhou Qian listened with great interest and could feel that Lu Jing's mood also relaxed.
After dinner, the two said goodbye to Ahang’s family, left the village and came to the town.
Considering that Lu Jing was too tired from the long drive, Zhou Qian suggested that they stay in town for one night.
…
On the weekend, Lu Jing and Zhou Qian went to visit Mr. Liang together. They didn't come early, and it was almost noon when they arrived.
When Elder Liang heard they had arrived, he came from the backyard to the front yard. Seeing them, he feigned dissatisfaction and said, "You two really came to eat."
"You can't blame me for this. If you want to blame someone, blame those people who refuse to get out of bed." Lu Jing said as he glanced at Zhou Qian, as if he was afraid that Mr. Liang wouldn't guess it.
Zhou Qian glared at him with red ears. If he hadn't kept pestering her until late at night as if he hadn't touched a woman in eight years, how could she not get up?
Now he still has the nerve to put the blame on her.
Liang Lao's attitude suddenly changed. "It's not normal for a girl to like to sleep in. Otherwise, how can she be called Sleeping Beauty?"
Lu Jing: “…”
Zhou Qian was flattered by Mr. Liang's protection, and she raised her eyebrows proudly at someone.
At this time, the housekeeper came over and asked if they wanted to eat, and Mr. Liang asked Zhou Qian if he was hungry.
Zhou Qian got up late in the morning. He and Lu Jing drank a glass of milk and hurried over. When they heard about eating, they nodded repeatedly.
Knowing that they were coming, Mr. Liang asked the kitchen to prepare a variety of seafood and meat, fearing that they would not suit Zhou Qian's taste.
While eating, he kept asking Zhou Qian what he liked to eat and whether it suited his taste.
Lu Jing was left out in the cold, and he could tolerate the discomfort for the time being, but wasn't Old Man Liang's concern for his girlfriend a bit excessive?
Lu Jing was thinking to himself that he would have to have a good chat with Old Man Liang after dinner.
As a result, before Lu Jing could find Mr. Liang, Mr. Liang found him first and said that he had something to tell him.
Zhou Qian was very tactful and said that he would go for a walk in the garden so as not to disturb them.
