Chapter 311 The feeling of heartbeat
When I got home, it was already dark.
Chen Guilan waited anxiously for them at the gate of the residential complex. Only after they got out of the car did she breathe a sigh of relief: "You're finally back."
"Why are you still worried about the two of us?" Su Jiaojiao told Chen Guilan that they would be back late, just in case she was worried. Chen Guilan took their hands and walked back, "You two girls, I'm worried too."
"I'll take you there next time." Su Jiaojiao held her mother's hand tightly. She felt most at ease being with her mother.
"Actually, we should have taken Auntie with us this time," Cai Ting suggested belatedly. "There's nothing going on at home."
"I can't go. I still have to learn how to use an embroidery machine." Chen Guilan spent a day at home learning how to use an embroidery machine. She knew Su Jiaojiao was going to Mo City to look at jeans, so she asked, "Do your jeans need embroidery too?"
"No need." Su Jiaojiao waved her hand. "Just make a small decoration on the sweatshirt. Don't use it on jeans for now. I'll do it later when I make mid-range jeans."
Cai Ting smiled but said nothing.
If all these jeans were embroidered, how long would it take? That’s 150,000 pairs!
While eating, Chen Xiaohong called and said that she had returned from her hometown and asked Su Jiaojiao and Cai Ting to go visit her.
Su Jiaojiao and Cai Ting didn't want to move and said they would go tomorrow.
"Jiaojiao and I won't leave until we're sixteen. We have a lot of time to go, so there's no rush." Cai Ting hadn't seen Chen Xiaohong since she came back. "We'll go see you tomorrow."
"By the way, your classmate came to see you this afternoon." Chen Guilan said hurriedly, "She said her name was Xu Mengyao, and she came with a young man. I told her you went to Mocheng, and she asked you to call her when you get back."
"I see." Su Jiaojiao then remembered her agreement with Xu Mengyao. She should have come here with Wu Peng. She took out her phone from her bag and called Xu Mengyao. Xu Mengyao said she would be at home tomorrow and asked Su Jiaojiao to go to her house to find her. "I'll be at home watching the store tomorrow. Come over!"
"Okay, I'll come find you." Su Jiaojiao happily agreed and said to Cai Ting, "Go to Xiaohong's house first tomorrow. I'll come find you when I get back."
"You're really busy!" Cai Ting said with a smile, "There's no waiting list for everyone I want to see."
"Actually, I don't want to see anyone. I just want to sleep at home." Su Jiaojiao decided not to make promises easily in the future, but she had already promised Xu Mengyao, so she had to go no matter how tired she was.
When she was in high school, Su Jiaojiao went to Xu Mengyao's family's restaurant once. Her restaurant business has always been good. Xu Mengyao had the best food, clothing and other necessities in the class, and her clothes were the most fashionable. She was like a goddess in the class.
Su Jiaojiao has always envied her, and still does.
A wealthy family and parents who loved her were things she couldn't buy no matter how much money she spent.
She just didn't understand why Xu Mengyao and Wu Peng ended up together. As far as she could remember, they didn't have close contact in high school. Wu Peng was just an ordinary short and fat boy, and had nothing to do with the goddess Xu Mengyao.
Speaking of matching, Xu Mengyao and Chen Yi are more suitable.
It wasn't dinner time when Su Jiaojiao went there, so Xu Mengyao was the only one reading in the hall. When she saw Su Jiaojiao, she immediately made tea for her: "I thought you'd be here soon, so I boiled the water a long time ago."
"Miss Xu is also reading a classic?" Su Jiaojiao sat down and saw a copy of "Jane Eyre" in front of Xu Mengyao. She remembered that Xu Mengyao liked reading romance novels the most.
"It's quite good. The more I read, the more I like it." Xu Mengyao flipped through the pages lovingly, her peach blossom eyes looking at Su Jiaojiao with a half-smile, her porcelain-white face particularly charming. "I know you've read it, so I won't recommend it to you. I'm planning to read all the famous books again."
"You really have a lot of leisure time." When Su Jiaojiao was in high school, she borrowed "Jane Eyre" from the school library and read it in her spare time. Later she learned that the book was donated to the school by Chen Yi.
During the summer vacation after the college entrance examination, she went to the bookstore and bought this book, as well as two other classics. She read half of them and put them on the bookshelf. It seems that books really need to be borrowed to be read.
As the two chatted, they talked about Wu Peng.
"I've never been far away, and I miss home when I'm in a strange place." Xu Mengyao said quietly, "Actually, Wu Peng had a crush on me when we were in high school, but I didn't respond directly. I didn't expect that I would be admitted to the same school as him. He often came to see me and took good care of me. I thought he was a good person, so I agreed to it, but I knew I didn't like him..."
"If you don't like him, why do you want to be with him?" Su Jiaojiao couldn't understand. Classmates taking care of each other and helping each other don't necessarily have to develop into a romantic relationship, right?
"I don't know either." Xu Mengyao sighed, "I just feel safe and secure with him, but I don't have that kind of heart-pounding feeling towards him. It's completely different from what's written in the book."
"I think you should think about it carefully. If you don't like it, don't force it." Su Jiaojiao herself is a newbie and doesn't know how to analyze Xu Mengyao's mentality.
"I know this isn't right, but I just can't say it." Xu Mengyao held Su Jiaojiao's hand and said with emotion, "Is it because I can't take care of myself and rely on him for everything that I have this illusion about him, thinking I like him? But when I'm with him, I don't feel in love, and I don't want him to touch me."
"Did Wu Peng notice it?" Su Jiaojiao couldn't believe that Xu Mengyao, who seemed to have a cheerful personality, actually had such a sentimental side.
"He must have noticed it, but he didn't say anything. The most we did was hold hands." Xu Mengyao blushed and let go of Su Jiaojiao's hand. "Jiaojiao, you and your boyfriend are definitely not like this, right?"
Su Jiaojiao: “…”
She had completely forgotten that she had told Chen Yi and Wu Peng last time that she had a boyfriend.
Oh my god, who can escape this fate?
"Hurry up and tell me, is that right?" Xu Mengyao pressed her, "You definitely didn't just hold hands, he must have kissed you, right?
Su Jiaojiao's face suddenly turned red.
How could she answer this kind of question... As they were talking, they started talking about herself, but she couldn't deny it. She was the one who told them in person that she had a boyfriend.
Even though it was said to Chen Yi at that time.
Seeing Su Jiaojiao blushing, Xu Mengyao still had something to understand: "I knew that you are different from us. Speaking of it, it's still my fault."
Su Jiaojiao was feeling very uncomfortable in the restaurant at Xu Mengyao's house. Cai Ting was also sitting at Chen Xiaohong's house, talking about Su Jiaojiao with Chen Xiaohong. Chen Xiaohong asked Cai Ting, "How did the conversation between our Jiaojiao and Mr. Lu go?"
"I was just about to tell you this!" Cai Ting lowered her voice and instructed Chen Xiaohong, "When Jiao Jiao comes over later, don't ask her about this."
"Could they have broken up?" Chen Xiaohong couldn't help but raise her voice, "No man is good, especially a rich man."
"Who are you talking about?" Wang Jian asked, poking his head out from the kitchen.
"I'm not talking about you. Go on." Chen Xiaohong waved at him and lowered her voice to ask Cai Ting, "What happened?"
