Gu Mingjing gently and naturally tucked the loose hair behind her ear and asked, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat first and then go back, or should we go back first and talk later?"
Jian Shu rubbed his stomach, feeling somewhat helpless, "Let's eat first, I'm almost starving!"
Gu Mingjing stopped and looked her up and down, a little anxious, "What? What happened?" She seemed a little unwell.
"You don't know, this time when I was riding the bus, I met a weirdo, who really likes to meddle in other people's business, give advice, and always likes to observe others with a sneaky look, which is really annoying!" Speaking of this, Jianshu was full of anger.
Speaking of which, she has taken the train several times, but except for the time when she was on a business trip, it was quite quiet most of the time. She was quite grateful for her good luck. After all, there are always strange people on the train, but she didn't expect to see it this time.
Thinking of that particularly unpleasant look, Jian Shu felt very uncomfortable. "How can there be such a person? What does it have to do with her what others eat, use, and wear? Why does she have to point fingers at others? It's as if eating and wearing nice clothes is a great sin. Those words really make me want to hit him."
After listening to her recount the whole story, Jian Shu even imitated the man's tone. Gu Mingjing understood and hugged her distressedly, "Alright, don't be angry about this kind of person. To put it bluntly, he just can't stand seeing others live better than him. He wishes everyone would give up their own things and become like him so that he can feel at peace. He also knows that it's unrealistic, so he says this on purpose to annoy people. The angrier you are, the more likely he'll get what he wants, right?"
In the final analysis, if he is not living well, no one else can expect to live well either.
Jian Shu took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, "You're right. It's not worth getting angry at people like that. People who only envy others will only be despised by society."
"Come on, let's go eat! I need to eat more to make up for the past few days!"
"Okay, eat more, we'll make up for it twice as much."
True to their word, they ordered four dishes and two large bowls of rice. Their bellies were full, and Jianshu leaned back in his chair, letting out a long sigh. "Wow—so comfortable!"
She had stomachache from eating in the car these days, but she couldn't do anything to that person. After all, apart from the verbal remarks, he didn't make any selective mistakes.
You can fight back, he is very thick-skinned, invulnerable, and doesn't care about anything you say. Reason is for reasonable people, this kind of people, the main goal is to make you disgusted if not angry to death.
Later, I even hid away from Jianshu. I would never go there unless it was necessary. I was so tired that I couldn’t eat or sleep well. It was really disgusting.
"Are you full? Do you want some more?" Gu Mingjing rarely restrained her from eating too much. He wanted her to vent, otherwise it would be useless to hold it in.
The depression in his heart seemed to be exhaled with his breath, and Jianshu's face returned to its usual smile.
Gu Mingjing finally felt relieved and picked up his chopsticks to eat up the remaining food.
"Want to go shopping again?"
Jianshu, who had just returned from Beijing, shook his head and said, "Let's stop shopping and go back. I want to go home now!" He had been shopping in Beijing every other day and had no interest at all at this moment.
"Okay, let's go home."

The cottage hidden among the green hills reveals a sense of tranquility. The flat path connects the scattered courtyards. Smoke rises from some of the courtyards, giving off a sense of the daily life.
Gu Mingjing went to return the car. Jianshu couldn't wait to push open the gate with her luggage, and was greeted by a familiar shout.
"Little Fatty!" He trotted forward, squatted on the ground, hugged the big dog's head tightly, and couldn't help rubbing it, "I missed you so much!"
“Woof woof woof——” Little Fatty tilted his head back and let her do whatever she wanted to him.
"You missed me too, didn't you?"
“Woof woof woof—”
"Next time I'll take you with me wherever I go, just like we used to, okay?"
“Woof woof woof—”
The man and the dog, who had not seen each other for a long time, were talking in two languages, which made Wu Xiufang, who had just arrived, very amused.
Even though they don't speak the same language, they are still talking enthusiastically, as if they can really communicate.
"Sister Shu, you're back! I heard the dog barking and thought something happened."
Hearing the noise, Jianshu let go of Xiaopang and stood up, "Sister-in-law Xiufang, come in and sit down."
"No, no, I just came to take a look. I'm worried about nothing. What could happen in our family compound? You must be tired after sitting in the car for several days. Have a good rest first. We can talk after you've rested well." Wu Xiufang waved her hand to refuse.
"No way! Sister-in-law, you're just caring about me. How can you say I'm worrying about nothing? I appreciate your kindness." Jian Shu wasn't someone who didn't know what was good for them. Why do they say a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative? Isn't it because they can have someone to look after them on a daily basis?
"It's all my duty. Don't be so polite." Seeing the weariness on Jian Shu's face, he said, "I'll be leaving first. The food is still hot in the pot!"
"Okay, then I won't keep my sister-in-law here. I'll go talk to her tomorrow." Jian Shu didn't try to persuade her to stay.
She hadn't had a good rest these days, and now that she had eaten and drunk enough, she felt a little tired. There was no need to rush into reminiscing about the past, as there would be plenty of time later.
"Oh, okay!"
I walked him out the door in high spirits, not even wanting to pack my luggage. I just threw it into the living room, fell on the bed and fell asleep without even changing into my pajamas.
After Gu Mingjing returned home, the house was very quiet, without any movement. He walked towards the bedroom and saw a figure sleeping soundly on the bed.
