Chapter 11 Brother, have you been feeling weak lately?
Uncle Li has been extremely busy these days, so the task of picking up and dropping off Cen Nian from school was left to Uncle Meng.
Uncle Meng usually parks the car at the intersection outside. He said this was a request made by Jin Siyang, probably because the closer to the school, the more people there are, making driving extremely inconvenient.
Another thing is that Jin Siyang doesn't seem to like being too ostentatious, and he doesn't like to show off the fact that he drives a luxury car to and from school.
Although everyone in school knows it.
However, Cen Nian felt much more relieved. Uncle Meng parked outside, and she always chose a place with fewer people so that others would not find out that she had a relationship with Jin Siyang. She remembered clearly what Jin Siyang said to her before school started.
Cen Nian packed up his things and walked out of the classroom at the time when the lights were turned off. The campus was very large and it was time for school to be over, so there were quite a lot of people there.
She walked out of the teaching building with her schoolbag on her back. A group of people came out from the direction of the indoor gymnasium. Cen Nian subconsciously looked up. It was very lively in that area, and she saw the familiar person at a glance.
Five or six people gathered together, with Jin Siyang walking in the middle. His hair was slightly messy, his left sleeve was rolled up, and he was holding his schoolbag in one hand.
Qin Zhouyan put his arm around Jin Siyang's shoulder and said with a beaming expression, "Damn, those guys from Class 10 made a three-pointer at the last second and took the lead by one point. I'm going to vomit blood."
Jin Siyang smiled with his lips curled: "You can remember it all night long, don't sleep tonight."
"I'm not saying anything bad about you, brother, but where's your energy in torturing others?" Qin Zhouyan asked.
"Are you preparing for the math league?" asked the girl walking next to Jin Siyang.
Jin Siyang didn't say anything, just nodded casually. Qin Zhouyan, on the other hand, was shocked. "No way, no way, who are you? You are Jin Siyang. How can a mere math league make you tired? Brother, have you been feeling weak lately?"
Jin Siyang seemed to laugh out of anger: "Get lost."
Cheng Yiwen's face was half red and half amused: "Qin Zhouyan, you are an idiot."
Cen Nian walked behind them, keeping a certain distance. When they arrived at the school gate, Cheng Yiwen greeted them and got into a white car. Qin Zhouyan patted Jin Siyang on the shoulder and said, "If you are tired, take a good rest. Don't tire my Jin'er out."
Hearing this, Cen Nian almost couldn't help laughing out loud. She seemed to be able to imagine the corner of Jin Siyang's mouth twitching. Sure enough, Jin Siyang punched Qin Zhouyan.
Cen Nian suddenly felt a little emotional. In her eyes, Jin Siyang always looked cold and difficult to talk to, but in fact he was also a real young man. When he was with Qin Zhouyan and others, he had no place to hide his youthful spirit.
Grandma always said that she thought too much and had too many things in her mind, which would make her unhappy.
But Cen Nian couldn't help but think about it, because her arrival made Jin Siyang unhappy, even though that was obviously his home.
She feels guilty.
Five minutes later, Cen Nian trotted to where Uncle Meng had parked his car and quickly got in the car: "Sorry, I'm late."
Uncle Meng smiled and said, "It's okay, Si Yang just arrived too."
They were silent all the way. After returning home, Jin Siyang went straight back to his bedroom. He rarely stayed downstairs or in the living room. He would occasionally come down to eat or get ice water and sports drinks.
There is a huge LCD TV in the Jin family's living room, but it is rarely turned on.
Cen Nian sat at the dining table and ate the peach gum milk prepared by Aunt Liu. Aunt Liu would find different ways to prepare delicious food for her and Jin Siyang every night. Whenever she saw Cen Nian finish the bowl, the smile on Aunt Liu's face would deepen.
"Aunt Liu, do you know where there's a cell phone repair shop nearby?"
Aunt Liu thought for a moment and said, "There doesn't seem to be any nearby. This is a residential area. Maybe there's one towards the city center. You want to repair your phone? Didn't you already buy a new one?"
Cen Nian held the spoon and took a sip of milk: "My grandma saved up money to buy me this old phone. I want to fix it. There are still photos in it."
Aunt Liu's eyes flashed with heartache: "It's okay, I'll go look for it with you this week."
"Thank you, Aunt Liu!"
After school on Friday afternoon, the class does a general cleaning.
Perhaps because it was approaching the weekend, the atmosphere in the class became much more relaxed and everyone had more smiles on their faces. Cen Nian and Zhu Zhiyao set up the table. After that, the two walked outside the classroom so as not to delay others from sweeping the floor.
"Niannian, do you want to go out for a walk this weekend?" Zhu Zhiyao asked.
Cen Nian thought for a moment and said, "I might have to go out this week to repair my old phone."
Zhu Zhiyao was puzzled: "Why are you still keeping it?!"
"My grandma bought it for me, and I want to keep it."
Zhu Zhiyao nodded in understanding: "Okay, have you been to Jiang City before?"
"No, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but the most prosperous place I've ever been to is City C."
City C, one of the third-tier cities.
Zhu Zhiyao put his arm around her shoulders nonchalantly: "What's so funny? I just want to say that if you want to go shopping, you can find me. Don't worry, I won't get you lost."
Cen Nian looked at her in surprise, with stars twinkling in her eyes. Zhu Zhiyao was suddenly startled, and pinched her face with a smile: "Niannian, I found that you are quite good-looking."
Cen Nian's face turned red. Few people had praised her so directly before, except her grandmother. But in Cen Nian's opinion, her grandmother must have been doting on her, so she always praised her for being beautiful, cute and well-behaved.
"Well, how about we go shopping during our break?" Cen Nian pursed her lips and smiled, "I also want to see what Jiang City looks like."
"Don't worry, leave it to me!"
The two looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding.

Cen Nian slept in and woke up at almost eleven o'clock. She washed up, changed into the clothes that Aunt Liu had picked for her, and hurried downstairs.
It was very quiet downstairs, with only the occasional noise of the day and the sound of leaves rustling in the wind. She walked to the restaurant puzzled, took out her mobile phone, and found that Aunt Liu had sent her a message a few hours ago.
[Niannian, your uncle Li and I have to go back to our hometown today for something. We've prepared breakfast and lunch and are warming them up. I'll take you to get your phone repaired when Aunt Liu comes back tomorrow. I'm really sorry.]
Cen Nian replied: [It’s okay, Aunt Liu, I’m not in a hurry~] and then added a cute emoticon.
There were two breakfasts on the table, but neither hers nor Jin Siyang's was touched. Wasn't he awake?
It turns out that even top students like to stay in bed.
Cen Nian was eating breakfast while searching for directions to get her phone repaired on her phone. She took a look and it didn't seem as complicated as she had imagined.
It’s such a small matter, so I’d better not trouble Aunt Liu to accompany me. Aunt Liu is very busy every day, so she can go by herself.
Thinking of this, she made up her mind to go by herself. After finishing her meal, she took her own money and went out.
Cen Nian took the No. 9 bus and transferred to the subway after a few stops.
The first time she walked into the subway station, she was a little overwhelmed. This was probably the hub of a certain station, with a lot of pedestrians coming and going. There were eight passages under the subway, and countless station signs and indicators, which made her feel confused.
City C is a third-tier city, and Lemon City is an unremarkable small town under City C. Although City C has a subway, she rarely has the opportunity to go to the city, let alone take the subway. In a sense, this is her first time taking the subway.
Cen Nian observed for a while and imitated the procedures of others in buying tickets, entering the station, and going through security checks, and finally got on the subway smoothly.
After some twists and turns, she walked into two small alleys and finally found a small shop in the middle of a narrow and wet alley.
There are five words hanging on the door next to it: Axiang Repair Shop.
