Chapter 241 Ambiguity
"You sleep so soundly, aren't you afraid that I will sell you out?" Lu Jingyou turned around and looked at her without having to drive. He rarely joked with her like this.
"I'm not worth anything." Su Jiaojiao leaned on the window and looked out, and realized that they were on the ferry.
"In my eyes, you are a priceless treasure." Lu Jingyou looked at her meaningfully, "and you are an irreplaceable priceless treasure."
The atmosphere is somewhat ambiguous.
Su Jiaojiao was speechless. After a pause, she asked him, "Why did you think of taking this road?"
Qingyuan City is separated from Jiao County by a bay, but it is not an independent island and the land part is still connected.
Generally speaking, it takes more than two hours to travel between the two places on the highway, but if you take the ferry, it takes about the same amount of time, mainly because it is a bit of a detour to get to the ferry.
"Let's not rush to the clothing fair. I'll take you to the Shell Building in Qingyuan." Lu Jingyou always had a plan for everything. "Then we can have a fisherman's feast at noon, and then it won't be too late to go to the fair in the afternoon."
"Aren't you going back to Jiao County today?" Su Jiaojiao knew from his tone that he was not going back.
The weather is clear and sunny.
A thin layer of mist rises above the sparkling sea, light and lingering.
"Is there something you want to go back for?" Lu Jingyou asked her.
The light from outside the window shone on his face, and his whole eyebrows and eyes seemed to light up. After they parted in the northwest, she never saw him again.
The person in front of her was clearly him, but Su Jiaojiao felt it was unreal, as if the person in the text message was the real Lu Jingyou.
She went out with him purely out of a desire to repay a favor. She hadn't considered anything else. "It's nothing serious, except that I didn't tell my mom I wasn't going home today."
"I was negligent." Lu Jingyou didn't expect that the decisive President Su in his previous life could have such a little girl's side. "Just tell Auntie that you can go back tomorrow. We're a little short on time for returning today, so why not stay overnight?"
"Okay, if it's late, then you can stay." Su Jiaojiao had nothing to worry about Lu Jingyou, she was not a child.
It only takes half an hour to cross the ferry, and after getting ashore it takes about another twenty minutes to walk to the Shell Building.
The Shell Building is a complex of buildings. As the name suggests, shells are pasted inside and outside the building. The texture is clear and the touch is cool. The roof and eaves are inlaid with conch shells, which is magnificent and ingenious.
It is said that it was made of one million shells found from all over the world and is also a local landmark building. It displays specimens of various shellfish and seaweed, and is accompanied by graphic explanations, which are easy to understand.
The Shell Building is surrounded by a shell path paved with shells. The red roses on both sides of the path are in full bloom, and small stalls selling various shell ornaments are dotted among them, making it like a fairy tale.
Su Jiaojiao grew up by the sea, but she had never seen so many kinds of shells. The shells she had seen were scattered randomly on the beach. This was the first time she had seen shells deliberately collected and carefully inlaid together like this.
Lu Jingyou took out a camera at some point and started taking pictures.
Su Jiaojiao doesn't like taking photos because she doesn't want to pose. Lu Jingyou didn't force her and just took a few photos of her.
During the visit, he kept receiving phone calls and went out to answer them halfway through the tour. Su Jiaojiao finished the entire Shell Building alone.
After coming out, she saw that he was still answering the phone, so she didn't disturb him. She casually strolled around the nearby stalls and bought two shell bracelets for two dollars.
By the time she bought the shell bracelet, Lu Jingyou had disappeared.
Su Jiaojiao called him but couldn't get through. She went back to Shell Building to look for him but couldn't find him either. The two of them even got separated while shopping...
Su Jiaojiao had no choice but to sit down on the stone bench in front of the Shell Building and wait for him. He must have something that required him to leave for a while, rather than deliberately abandoning her.
About half an hour later, she looked at the time and saw that he had called her several times.
She called him and saw him coming out of the Shell Building. He seemed relieved to see her: "I'm sorry, my phone ran out of battery just now. I went to charge it in the car, and I couldn't find you when I came back."
"It's okay. Can we go now?" Su Jiaojiao stood up with a gloomy face.
Lu Jingyou couldn't see any emotion on her face, but instead felt something: "Why don't you blame me for not telling you?"
"Didn't you say your phone was out of battery?" Su Jiaojiao didn't understand why he asked that.
"But you don't know that my phone is out of battery. From your point of view, I suddenly disappeared." Lu Jingyou hoped that she would blame him, but she didn't, and she didn't care.
The feeling of loss in his heart surged up again. After being together for so long, was he not important at all in her eyes?
"Mr. Lu, we are all adults. There must be a reason for your sudden departure. Why should I blame you?" Su Jiaojiao didn't understand.
"Don't call me Mr. Lu from now on. I'm not your boss." Lu Jingyou's face darkened. "Just call me by my name."
Su Jiaojiao: “…”
She couldn't bring herself to call his name.
It's so awkward.
"Wait for me here, I'll go drive." Lu Jingyou didn't look at her and quickly went to the parking lot.
Su Jiaojiao was a little depressed. She didn't do anything wrong, so how could she offend him?
Just like in the previous life.
She originally thought that he was different from his previous life, and she was different too.
Why is it that even though the beginning is different, after all these twists and turns, it's still the same as the previous life...
The fisherman’s banquet was very sumptuous.
Various fish are fried, stewed and stir-fried, and the taste is very delicious.
Lu Jingyou looked calm and treated her as usual, picking out fish bones for her as if nothing had happened.
He has always been like this, and would not easily let others see his emotions.
Su Jiaojiao was in a low mood, not because of what Lu Jingyou said just now, but because she felt inexplicably helpless.
She was clearly trying to change her fate, but at some point, it always happened to her in the same way as in her previous life...
She was afraid that the inexplicable fire would suddenly break out without her knowledge. She was afraid of losing her mother and everything she had now...
She felt like a child building a castle on the beach; no matter how hard she tried, her castle would be washed away by the high tide.
But she couldn't tell anyone about these things and could only keep them in her heart.
Although she tried to cheer herself up, she still found the meal tasteless.
It seemed that she didn't hide it enough, and Lu Jingyou still saw her displeasure. He said nothing and regretted what he had just said to her.
He wanted to be closer to her, but was worried that she would reject him. If he was far away from her, he was worried that she would be taken away by someone else.
He was equally helpless and troubled, and he didn't want the two of them to end up like in their previous life.
After dinner, the two went to the clothing fabric fair in silence.
