How could I have become so depraved?
How could I waste my precious writing time strolling through the food street with her like this?
She wasn't shopping; she was clearly eating.
Tomorrow I must lock myself in a dark room and focus on writing.
Zhou Chu made up his mind, and seeing Gao Qinyi pointing at the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) in front of the stall and asking the vendor how much it cost, he followed her.
Anyway, I'll start working on it again tomorrow; today's update is already enough.
After only five minutes of browsing, his hands were already full of packaging bags from Gao Qinyi's food products.
Even if he only ate a bite of each thing, he would be full. I don't know how Gao Qinyi, who looks so thin, can eat so much.
"Your boyfriend is quite handsome."
A young proprietress, who appeared to know Gao Qinyi, glanced at Zhou Chu and couldn't help but sigh, "I really envy you young people."
"He's not my boyfriend yet!" Gao Qinyi swallowed her jelly, wiped her mouth, and replied, "Strictly speaking, he's my junior."
“You’ve never brought a man to my place before.”
The proprietress is not old, probably in her thirties. Although she is just a street vendor, she is well-maintained.
It's that feeling of still retaining one's charm.
Most importantly, why was the proprietress looking at me with such anger and disappointment?
What do you know?
“Indeed, I’ve always considered Sister Qin as my older sister.” Zhou Chu echoed Gao Qinyi, throwing the trash in his hand into the trash can in front of him.
"I understand, it's a relationship between an older woman and a younger man, it seems to be quite popular these days." The proprietress ladled out half a bowl of cold noodles and handed it to Zhou Chu: "This bowl is on you."
"How can this be?" Zhou Chu took out his phone to scan the QR code and pay.
If he takes it without paying, wouldn't that be tacitly acknowledging the relationship between the two of them that she mentioned?
The sibling relationship they have now is so good. If they really became a couple, how could he concentrate on writing?
Once the update is slowed down, how can we still slay gods and prove our path to enlightenment?
"I already told you it was for you..."
Before the proprietress could finish speaking, a notification sound came: Alipay payment received, six yuan.
"Sigh." The proprietress couldn't help but take a closer look at the young man.
He's handsome with striking eyebrows and bright eyes, and he's also an upright person; no wonder Gao Qinyi likes him.
If I were ten years younger, I might have gotten caught up in it too.
She filled the bowl of noodles in her hand before handing it back to Zhou Chu: "Your noodles."
Thanks.
As dusk deepened, business on the food street grew increasingly brisk, especially at the owner's stall.
They were all college students who didn't look very old.
Since there were no seats available, many people were even eating while holding their bowls.
Even as they ate their noodles, their eyes couldn't leave the proprietress.
"Are you guys here to eat noodles? I don't even have the heart to call you out on it." Zhou Chu thought to himself, then patted Gao Qinyi on the shoulder: "We should go."
"I'll head back now." Zhou Chu had just handed over the keys when she pushed them back.
"It's so late, are you really going to let a weak woman like me ride my bike home?" Gao Qinyi crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking utterly pitiful.
"Have the heart to do that." Zhou Chu completely ignored her pleading. "Just be careful."
"I don't care, it's such a dark and eerie night, if you don't take me home I'm going to hold on to you and not let go."
She truly believed her words carried on, and her right hand had already grabbed the hem of his clothes.
He completely ignored the strange looks from those around him.
"Is this the sour and stinky smell of love?"
"They're openly showing off their love, completely disregarding the feelings of us single people!"
Hearing the whispers, Zhou Chu could only grab her sleeve and pull her to the motorcycle.
"Let's get this straight first, there are no buses running at this time, and there are no taxis around here. If your place is too far away, I'll need to ride a motorcycle to get back."
She actually dared to bring me home so late at night.
This shows they're genuinely not afraid he might have any ulterior motives.
Or perhaps she has already figured out that she won't have any improper thoughts?
Having been single for so long, he felt his mind had become noticeably duller, and he couldn't even discern her true intentions.
"It's not far. Just follow my instructions."
Gao Qinyi was visibly happy after he agreed. Sitting in the car, she gently squeezed Zhou Chu's stomach and said, "Giddy up!"
Does this person think they're a horse?
He doesn't like being ridden like a horse.
He still preferred the top position.
"They're gone."
The evening breeze was quite strong, and Gao Qinyi had to speak loudly for him to hear her clearly.
Therefore, I have already taken several wrong turns.
"Sister Qin, how much further is it?"
Renting a place nearby is expensive, and he had imagined that Gao Qinyi would rent a place further away.
But I didn't expect it to be so far; it's already at least five kilometers away.
“It’s just ahead,” Gao Qinyi said loudly in his ear, clinging to him completely.
My short-sleeved shirt was completely frozen through in the strong wind.
In Liancheng, October is already considered autumn, with nighttime temperatures only around 15 degrees Celsius.
He felt like his snot was about to freeze out.
He was especially struck by Gao Qinyi's occasional cheers, even though he didn't know why she was cheering.
"Let's stop right there," Gao Qinyi said, pointing to the square in front of them.
He had unknowingly ridden so far; this was a place he had passed through before.
It's so quiet during the day, but surprisingly energetic at night.
This should be the largest residential area near the university town.
The music wasn't very loud, but there were many middle-aged women dancing in the square.
"What? You want to go up with them?" Zhou Chu parked the car on the side of the road, turned around and teased her.
“Of course.” Gao Qinyi jumped out of the car and said seriously, “This place is very close to my rented house, and I come here to play from time to time!”
As she spoke, she pulled Zhou Chu toward the crowd.
Zhou Chu really didn't expect her to have this quirk.
But surprisingly, she seemed to dance quite well.
It's really pretty good; the rhythm and everything else are great.
Her youthful and beautiful appearance stood out brightly among the fading flowers.
As Gao Qinyi danced, she kept glancing in Zhou Chu's direction, giving him one seductive look after another, leaving him quite bewildered.
Especially to the old man sitting nearby, this flirtatious girl must be his girlfriend.
So before the old men could ask any questions, he slipped away.
It was so embarrassing. He covered his face and went to Gao Qinyi's side: "How much longer are you going to dance? Or should I leave?"
"You said you'd take me home, didn't you?" Gao Qinyi leaned down slightly, looking up at him with his face buried in his hands. "You said you'd stay with me..."
Facing the meaningful gazes of the group of middle-aged women around him and Gao Qinyi, Zhou Chu just wanted to escape this place of trouble as soon as possible.
He could already imagine what he would look like when he appeared in their mouths tomorrow.
