Just then, the sound of the next stop arriving saved Zhao Rangwen. He quickly stood up and said, "I've arrived. See you next time, Gu Li." He hoped that he hadn't completely made Gu Li lose interest in him, as he was still thinking about her smile that day.
He got up and waited for Gu Li's reply.
Gu Li had already turned to look out the window, and he glanced sideways at Zhao Rangwen.
There was a time limit for opening the rear door. Gu Li didn't speak, so Zhao Rangwen could only walk while looking at Gu Li. He saw that Gu Li was finally looking at him, and his eyes were full of anticipation.
Gu Li was thinking about something and was about to casually twitch the corner of her mouth when Jiang Xu's voice rang out, "Don't laugh," Jiang Xu added, "Don't laugh at him."
Gu Li completely abandoned Zhao Rangwen, no longer sparing him even a glance.
Zhao Rangwen stood at the bus stop, sketching on his easel. He hadn't actually arrived at his stop yet; he just felt the occasion wasn't right and he needed a time when Jiang Xu wasn't around.
Although Gu Li didn't explicitly say so, he knew that Gu Li had hinted at it. The smile last time and the last look he gave him this time, if they were alone together, would definitely make Gu Li feel that he was more suitable to be by her side than Jiang Xu.
His gaze was deep and intense. It must be so, it must be!
He carried his drawing board on his back. He had an academic advantage, while Jiang Xu was completely bad at it. As long as he had a chance to showcase his skills, Gu Li would definitely notice him.
After Zhao Rangwen got off the bus, the announcement came over the loudspeaker, "The bus is about to depart. Please sit tight and hold on. Next stop..."
Gu Li looked at Jiang Xu and said, "This time, I'm really laughing at his stupidity."
Jiang Xu said, “Oh, he doesn’t think so,” he looked out the window after he finished speaking, “and no matter how much he laughs, it’s too good for him.”
Gu Li also looked out the window, "Yes, I think it will be soon."
Xu Lang happened to hear "almost there," and thought, "Are we almost there? I haven't ridden in a car in so long, I'm getting carsick."
Xie Tao: "It's not that you haven't sat for a long time, it's that you've been looking at your phone the whole time."
Xu Lang glanced at his screen, which was filled with green boxes, and messages from Lü Chao were popping up one after another. He decisively turned off the screen. "Okay, I'll let Lü Chao off the hook for now."
Gu Li said, "You two can be considered to have let each other off the hook."
Xu Lang shrugged indifferently, "Are we really almost there?"
Jiang Xu glanced at the bus arrival information on his phone. "Almost there, next stop is just around the corner."
After the four of them got off the bus, they had to walk a little further to reach Lü Chao's shop. Jiang Xu and Gu Li led the way, walking side by side.
Jiang Xu looked at the navigation on his phone to determine his location, while Gu Li turned his head to look at the scenery. As he looked at the scenery, he inadvertently glanced at Jiang Xu's phone.
He noticed that Jiang Xu had chosen to go straight when he should have turned. He stood at the fork in the road, pressed down on Jiang Xu's shoulder, and stopped him from taking any further steps forward.
Jiang Xu turned around and looked at Gu Li. "Hmm?"
Xu Lang and Xie Tao followed behind the two. Xu Lang looked at Gu Li's actions and asked, "What's wrong?"
Gu Li: "I suddenly realized that I knew the road ahead, and I had a shorter way to take it."
Xu Lang: "You came here by bus to see Chaozi and the others? That can't be right."
Gu Li hooked his arm around Jiang Xu's shoulder and turned confidently. "Why not? I'm exceptionally talented." He casually took Jiang Xu's phone. "I'll lead the way for you from now on."
Jiang Xu lowered his voice and asked, "Did I go the wrong way?" He knew he had a bit of a problem with finding his way around.
Gu Li said, "Just a little bit, it won't affect anything." He glanced down at Jiang Xu's phone and then turned it off. "Just follow your brother and you'll be fine."
Xu Lang turned to Xie Tao and said, "When did Gu Li start whispering to people like this? The kid has really grown up."
Gu Li turned to look at Xu Lang and said, "I can hear you."
Xu Lang replied with a grin, "Then I'll keep my voice down." He kept his voice down and said to Xie Tao, "Look, you're getting angry now." He was getting a little revenge on Gu Li for her behavior on the bus.
When the four of them arrived at the store, they saw Ji Hai and Lü Chao sitting on the sofa eating potato chips. On the coffee table in front of them was a tablet playing SpongeBob SquarePants, which the two of them were watching with great interest.
The sound of the door opening slightly attracted their attention. Lu Chao, who was sitting on the outside, turned his head to look at the four people who came in. "You're here. Please make yourselves at home."
Gu Li and Jiang Xu walked over and sat down next to Lü Chao. Gu Li held Lü Chao's potato chips and said, "You're so relaxed. No customers. Could it be that you've become washed up?"
Lu Chao munched on potato chips, saying, "You're the one who's washed up. Your brother Chao is hot right now. I'm off today, and it just so happens you guys came. I've made another profit."
"Why didn't you come to find us instead of just staying at the store during your break?" Gu Li handed the potato chips in her hand to Jiang Xu, then popped one into her own mouth and asked Jiang Xu, "Do you like this flavor? Or do you want the sea flavor?"
Jiang Xu took the piece that Gu Li handed him, "This one is fine, I'm not picky."
Lü Chao said, "Li, do you think everyone is the same as you? Look at Jiang Xu, he's just like us, not picky at all."
Gu Li picked up the potato chips again, "I didn't choose any."
Lu Chao curled the corners of his lips. "Stop talking nonsense. What I have is the flavor you like. Otherwise, why wouldn't you have taken the sea?"
As Gu Li handed Jiang Xu some potato chips, she replied, "How could that be? I just like taking yours. Of course, Hai's is for him to eat himself."
Lü Chao: "You're really poisonous."
Jiang Xu glanced at the bag of potato chips in Lü Chao's hand; he liked the tomato flavor.
Ji Hai handed over a bag of potato chips. "Want to try some? It's a new flavor, cherry blossom."
Gu Li looked at Jiang Xu, "Want to try some?"
Jiang Xu nodded. "Give it a try."
Gu Li took a slice and handed it to Jiang Xu. Seeing that Gu Li didn't intend to try it, Jiang Xu asked, "Aren't you going to try some?"
Gu Li shook her head, and Lü Chao chimed in, "His tastes are very fixed, unless it's just a whim, so don't worry about him, Jiang Xu, just eat and drink well."
Jiang Xu ate the potato chips Gu Li handed him. The cherry blossom flavor was faint. "It tastes alright. Really, don't you want to try some?"
Gu Li glanced at Jiang Xu's expression. "Really alright?"
Jiang Xu nodded, "Guaranteed authentic."
Gu Li laughed, "It's guaranteed authentic, okay, I'll try it." He turned to look at Ji Hai, who was chatting with Xu Lang and Xie Tao on the other side, "Hai, let me try a piece."
Ji Hai turned around and handed the bag over directly, "You can pick out the smaller pieces, just in case you don't like them, you can eat less."
Gu Li took it, "Okay."
After staring at the tablet for a while, Lü Chao said, "Hai, you deserve a lot of credit for his pickiness."
Xu Lang laughed and said to Xie Tao, "Hehe, Chaozi is so envious, oh dear, oh dear."
Lu Chao chuckled, "Heh," he chuckled, "You're going to die tonight, you little rascal."
Xu Lang laughed back, "Your luck, which is sometimes good and sometimes bad, is about the same as mine. Who are you threatening?"
Xie Tao said, "Look, Gu Li is eating her second slice." His words instantly shifted the focus of the argument.
As soon as he finished speaking, the two looked at Gu Li. Gu Li noticed that she was being watched and asked, "What? Have I suddenly turned into gold?"
