Chapter 112 Chapter 112 "Here, here!" Qing...
"Here, here!" A clear voice sounded behind Jiang Zhi.
He turned sideways, and the person running behind him bumped into his shoulder without braking. He quickly reached out and grabbed Wen Qian who staggered forward.
"Don't run so fast next time." Jiang Zhi didn't move his arm and only withdrew his hand after Wen Qian helped him stand steadily.
"I was afraid you'd be waiting for me," Wen Qian said cheerfully, following Jiang Zhi. "Your timing is quite coincidental. I was just about to go out for dinner."
They had agreed on the phone to go to a local specialty restaurant, so they didn't stay long and walked towards the restaurant while chatting.
"Were you playing outside just now?" Jiang Zhi casually picked up a topic, "Are you cold?"
He naturally held Wen Qian's wrist and tested the temperature of her palm. The warm palm made him silently swallow the words of concern that he was about to say.
It doesn't look like he just played in the snow, but rather like he just came out of an air-conditioned room.
"I'm not cold." Wen Qian glanced at Jiang Zhi and said bluntly, "You look colder than me. Your ears are red from the cold."
"Come on, let's go! It's so cold, don't stand outside. Let's go inside!"
Wen Qian took the initiative and pulled Jiang Zhi into the store. The hot air hit her face. She squinted her eyes and pulled him to the corner of the hall.
After being together for so long, Jiang Zhi got to know some of Wen Qian's little habits. For example, when going out to eat, she usually prefers to sit in the hall rather than in the private room.
He didn't know why exactly, but after a few times, he vaguely noticed that Wen Qian's mood would be higher every time he sat in the hall.
He secretly took note of this and this time booked a seat by the window in the hall - Wen Qian preferred the window seat to the inside.
She seemed to like the seats with a view outside.
After taking their seats, Wen Qian lowered his head to look at the menu. Most of the people sitting around them were tourists who came here to travel, and this could be heard from their conversation.
"Jiang Zhi, you can take a look too." Wen Qian handed him the menu, then looked at the other customers in the store, and occasionally glanced out the window.
Jiang Zhi accepted Wen Qian's little habits naturally. At first, he thought Wen Qian was looking for someone, but later he realized that she had no purpose in doing so.
That was why he secretly adjusted his habit of booking a table - he preferred to eat in a place with fewer people, which was exactly the opposite of Wen Qian's habit.
Jiang Zhi added two local special dishes and handed the menu to the waiter.
"How long do you plan to play here?" Jiang Zhi asked casually.
"I don't know." Wen Qian thought for a moment and said, "I'll know when the day comes for me to leave."
It’s pretty much the same as before the trip.
Jiang Zhi picked up the teacup in front of him, paused, and instead of drinking the tea, he looked up at Wen Qian.
"Aren't you going to ask me why I'm here?"
He thought Wen Qian would ask, as she had just arrived and he came here not long after - he had never mentioned going out before.
Jiang Zhi was prepared to be questioned by Wen Qian, and he had also thought of his own answer.
But Wen Qian didn't ask.
It seems that there is nothing strange about the fact that they arrived at the same tourist spot one after another without any discussion.
When I called her right after landing, her tone didn't sound surprised at all.
There was really nothing to surprise Wen Qian, as she had been prepared for this - that wherever she went, her acquaintances would appear.
But she couldn't be sure who the person who showed up was.
I originally thought it was only Xia Zhiqing, but I didn’t expect there was also Jiang Zhi.
"There's nothing to ask about this kind of thing." Wen Qian supported his chin and said, "I'm used to it."
Used to it?
Jiang Zhi was stunned for a moment.
The waiter who came with the dishes interrupted their conversation. The aroma of the food instantly diverted the player's attention, and all his mind was focused on the dish that had just been served.
Well, not entirely, she even took the time to glance over the waiter's head.
——————
Xia Zhiqing didn't expect that he came out to travel and find some peace and quiet, but now he is suffering from boredom.
The local specialties that I had specially prepared to enjoy turned out to be bland and I felt like something was missing.
The moment he put down his chopsticks, he suddenly had a thought: if he had a friend to accompany him to eat, his feeling would probably be completely different.
As a tourist attraction, the streets here can't be described as quiet. On the contrary, the surrounding noise is a bit too lively, but he is still not used to it.
A person is very bored, but this kind of liveliness around him is not what he wants.
Forget it, let’s go back to where we live.
Xia Zhiqing sighed and suddenly felt that it was a wrong decision to go out for a walk after dinner.
I had made an appointment with Wen Qian to go to the mountains with her tomorrow. I wonder if her friend will remember what she promised him after he comes.
Maybe he will go with her friends. So what should he do tomorrow?
Xia Zhiqing, whose plan for this trip was just to stay in a different place for a few days, suddenly felt that his previous plan was a bit boring.
He paused, suddenly remembering that Jiang Zhi was also here.
It's a good time to ask him what his plans are and copy his homework.
As expected, Xia Zhiqing just remembered his good friend when he saw his back at the street corner.
Xia Zhiqing took two quick steps forward, but before he got close to Jiang Zhi, he suddenly stopped and the expression on his face became a little subtle.
Jiang Zhi is...bringing his girlfriend here for a trip?
From his perspective, Jiang Zhi, with his back to him, was bending down to help the girl in front of him fix her hair. The girl was blocked by him, so he couldn't see her face clearly, but the corner of her clothes that was exposed looked familiar.
Across the road, several cars passed in front of him, completely blocking his view. When the green light came on, Jiang Zhi was the only one standing there.
"Why, aren't you traveling alone?" Xia Zhiqing walked up to Jiang Zhi and said with a smile, "Girlfriend? Why haven't I heard you mention that?"
"I was wondering if you had something important to worry about that you didn't even answer the phone." Xia Zhiqing smiled, "Since you did it to accompany your girlfriend, I forgive you."
Jiang Zhi raised his eyelids and glanced at him, his expression expressionless.
After a while, he said calmly: "Not yet."
Xia Zhiqing was just guessing at first, but when he heard Jiang Zhi's words, he raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Not yet?
This answer is very interesting.
"Didn't catch up with her?" Xia Zhiqing showed some interest. "I never thought, Jiang Zhi, you would have such a day."
Jiang Zhi stood lazily at the door of the convenience store without saying a word.
Xia Zhiqing was used to his behavior, so he didn't ask any more questions. He just picked up his phone and waved it: "I wanted to talk to you, but I didn't expect you to bring someone with you. I'll leave first."
"Let's go." Jiang Zhi paused and continued, "Don't come to me in the next few days."
"I know you need someone to accompany you. Don't worry, I won't disturb you." Xia Zhiqing shrugged and turned his head to look at the street light.
It's a red light again. Looks like I have to wait a little longer.
"Jiang Zhi, I bought some popsicles. What flavor do you want?" A cheerful voice came from behind.
Xia Zhiqing paused and subconsciously turned to look at the person who came.
Seeing Wen Qian holding a popsicle and handing it to Jiang Zhi, a look of disbelief appeared in his eyes. He opened his mouth, but was speechless for a moment.
...Wen Qian?
Jiang Zhi didn't notice the change in Xia Zhiqing's expression. He looked down at the popsicle in Wen Qian's hand and frowned slightly.
"Eating ice in this kind of weather?"
"We only eat popsicles in winter!" Wen Qian nodded confidently, looked at the popsicles in his hand, picked one at random and put it in Jiang Zhi's hand.
"Hurry and take it!"
Jiang Zhi took the popsicle and found that Wen Qian was holding two in his hand. He was about to tell Wen Qian not to eat so many at once.
Before he could speak, Wen Qian held up the popsicle and handed it to Xia Zhiqing.
"Xia Zhiqing, this is yours!"
Jiang Zhi paused and looked sideways at Xia Zhiqing.
"For me?" Xia Zhiqing didn't expect that there would be a share for him.
"Yeah, I just saw you at the convenience store. You came here to shop too." Wen Qian said with some regret, "I should have asked you to come with me so we could have dinner together."
Before Xia Zhiqing could speak, Jiang Zhi had already responded for him.
"He's not available."
"Really?" Wen Qian looked puzzled. "But when I was with him before, I never heard him mention that he had things to do later."
Jiang Zhi: "...were you together before?"
He looked at Xia Zhiqing, but Xia Zhiqing didn't respond.
His mind was a little confused and he kept recalling the scene just now.
So, does Jiang Zhi like Wen Qian?
Xia Zhiqing thought of the jokes he had just made and felt his throat was a little dry.
He lowered his eyes, not participating in their current conversation, tore open the outer packaging of the popsicle, and silently bit the mung bean-flavored popsicle in his hand.
My mind was empty, and I only responded when I faintly heard his name.
Xia Zhiqing subconsciously said "hmm", but actually didn't even hear what the other party asked, and slowly came back to his senses.
Jiang Zhi looked at him expressionlessly, but Wen Qian was very excited.
"That's great, since you have nothing to do next, let's play together!"
Xia Zhiqing then realized what he had agreed to. Before he could say anything, Wen Qian had already grabbed his and Jiang Zhi's arms and walked to the other end of the street.
The green light is on.
——————
"When did you two meet?" Jiang Zhi looked up at Xia Zhiqing.
"Last time I went to Holy Thorn." Xia Zhiqing said, "But I didn't expect you and her also knew each other."
"Same words for you."
Xia Zhiqing was silent for two seconds, then asked, "Do you like her?"
Jiang Zhi glanced at him and said bluntly: "You've already asked once."
Xia Zhiqing smiled helplessly. Indeed, he had already asked.
Just asking again because...
Maybe it’s because it doesn’t feel real.
"It seems you need to work harder." Xia Zhiqing looked out the window, thought for a moment and said, "There are many obstacles to being with her."
Jiang Zhi chuckled: "It seems that after your trip to the Holy Thorn, you have learned a lot."
He paused and sneered, "It's just that guy, nothing to worry about."
Xia Zhiqing leaned against the windowsill and looked at him sideways, saying casually, "I know your temper, but Lu Yanbai is also close to you..."
Jiang Zhi interrupted him and slowly repeated, "Lu Yanbai?"
Xia Zhiqing was stunned and looked at him with a frown: "You don't know?"
"So what are you talking about?"
