After Wang Jingya heard the last words, she looked at her clothes again, and the look on her face became even more unnatural. She quickly glanced at Yan Chen and then stood up.
Get up.
"That Xiang Jin, I suddenly remembered that I still have something important to do, so you guys eat slowly, I'll leave first!" After saying that, she picked up her bowls and chopsticks as if she was eager to leave.
Xiang Jin and Yan Fei stopped talking, and then they both nodded to her, "Okay, go and do your work!"
After she left, Xiang Jin turned her head and glanced at Yan Chen as if unintentionally, and found that he had left his place to serve food in the kitchen at some point, so she asked Yan Fei,
"Can you please help me carry my food?!"
Just as Yan Fei was about to say "ok", he saw that Yan Chen had already returned with a dinner plate, which contained food for two people. Yan Fei said to Xiang Jin, "It seems you don't need me to help you carry it."
Yan Chen put the dinner plate down on the table and immediately placed the food. Xiang Jin took his bowl and chopsticks and raised the corners of his lips to Yan Chen, "Thank you," and then started eating by himself.
stand up.
Faced with her politeness, Yan Chen looked at her deeply again, sat down in his seat, and started eating without saying a word.
Seeing that there was no food for him, Yan Fei said anxiously, "Hey, you better wait for me. Don't just eat for yourself. Why don't you leave some food with me?"
Yan Chen glanced sideways at his vacant seat, "Don't you have a dish of your own?"
Yan Fei said, "But I want to eat with you, wait, wait, leave some for me, I'll go get the food right now!"
Time flies, and it’s the day of school vacation for Xiang Jin and his friends. On this day, Xiang Jin and his teachers were busy in class for a while, so they left the classroom a little late. By the time they got on the bus, there were not many seats left on the bus, but Yan Chen
I got on the bus first and occupied a few seats for them.
Xiang Jin saw Wang Jingya following behind him. After quickly glancing at the two positions next to Yan Chen, he quickly glanced at the entire carriage, and then pointed to a position in the middle row by the window.
Yan Fei said, "I'm a little motion sick, and I just sat there?!" He said and walked over with his bag.
Yan Fei glanced in that direction, then nodded and walked towards Yan Chen's position with his bag. Wang Jingya hurriedly followed after seeing him.
Yan Chen watched Xiang Jin go elsewhere, and then saw Yan Fei and Wang Jingya walking over, and his expression suddenly turned ugly.
Yan Fei wanted to go inside and sit by the window, but Yan Chen grabbed him and said to Wang Jingya, "Are you going to sit inside?"
Although his face was cold and his tone of voice was cold, Wang Jingya still blushed and nodded.
Yan Fei looked sideways at him with disbelief, but Yan Chen said again, "Sit in the middle!"
He said this to Yan Fei, and Yan Fei immediately realized that he had misunderstood him just now. He thought he was protecting Wang Jingya, why did he dislike Xiang Jin so quickly and fall in love with her?
If that were the case, it would be too disappointing for him, and he might have to break up with him, but judging from his stinky face at the moment, it seems that he is not.
Yan Fei quickly said, "Okay, okay, I'll sit in the middle, I'll sit in the middle!"
Then two more people got on, and the bus was full. Then the door of the bus was closed and no more people were allowed to enter. Yan Chen took his bag and went to change seats with the classmate sitting next to Xiang Jin.
When Wang Jingya saw Yan Chen leaving, a look of disappointment suddenly appeared on her face. When Yan Fei saw it, he moved closer to her, and then said to her in a voice that only the two of them could hear,
"Yan Chen, please stop asking Xiao Xiang, he won't fall in love with you!"
Wang Jingya lowered her head and denied, "No way?! Don't talk nonsense!"
Seeing her red cheeks, Yan Fei showed a hint of ridicule at the corner of his mouth, "You know best in your heart! Although you are pretty, you are not his type! He doesn't like you.
Literally, to be honest, from the perspective of an onlooker, no matter which direction you look at, you are not as good as her, and you are not worthy of him!"
"You?!" Wang Jingya immediately became angry, staring at him as if she wanted to eat him.
Yan Fei spread his hands, curled his lips and snorted, "That's the truth, you don't have to be angry."
As soon as Xiang Jin sat down on her seat, she wrapped her bag and began to rest with her eyes closed, so that the people next to her didn't even notice that they had changed positions.
Yan Chen moved to her side and saw that she was taking a nap, so he did not disturb her, but just sat with her quietly.
Soon the car in front started to start, and so did the car that Xiang Jin and the others were riding in. The distance from their school gate to the station was paved with uneven stone slabs, so it was a bit bumpy and swaying.
Shaking, swaying, Xiang Jin soon fell asleep in the car, and then she tilted her body and hit her head against the glass of the car window.
With the sound of "dong", Yan Chen thought she would open her eyes, but she just frowned slightly. Yan Chen was both angry and ridiculous!
In order to prevent her from being hit from behind again, Yan Chen gently put his arms around her shoulders, and then let her head rest on his shoulders, while one of his hands was placed directly on her waist to protect her.
Yan Fei, who was sitting in the back, saw it and signaled to Wang Jingya next to him, "See, that's what he likes, so don't hang around in front of him in the future, it's useless.
, so, you’d better step aside!”
"You?! You're talking nonsense!" Wang Jingya's eyes suddenly turned red with anger.
"Huh, that's what I hate about you. It's obviously true, but you just don't admit it, you're duplicitous, you're pretending to be noble!" Yan Fei sneered coldly and mercilessly again.
Wang Jingya looked like she wanted to tear him alive.
After sleeping for about half an hour, Xiang Jin suddenly opened her eyes. Before she could recover, she heard Yan Chen's comforting voice saying, "Go to sleep. It's not here yet. It's here."
I called you!"
Xiang Jin nodded solemnly, "Well, then I'll sleep a little longer!"
"Yeah!" Yan Chen's soft voice came out again.
After that, he didn't hear Xiang Jin's voice anymore. When he lowered his head, he saw that she had fallen asleep again. Then he looked closer and saw the green shadow under her eyes.
It seemed that she hadn't had much rest recently. Thinking of this, he felt a sense of distress in his heart, and then the hand protecting her side directly wrapped around her waist and let her
Lean more firmly on yourself.
Xiang Jin slept for more than half an hour and then woke up slowly. When she saw Yan Chen's familiar face reflected in her eyelids, her eyes widened and she felt a lot more energetic.
.
"Why are you sitting here?" She clearly remembered that the person sitting here was another student.
Hearing what she said, Yan Chen's eyes flashed with a sense of loss. The time she woke up in the middle, her mind was indeed not clear.
"I changed places with someone!"
Xiang Jin was stunned for a moment, then reflexively looked towards the last row, and saw that Wang Jingya and the boy were no longer there. Only Yan Fei and another unknown classmate were sitting there.
, both of them looked out the window. It seemed that other people had already arrived at the station and got off the bus.
She nodded, then said "Oh" lightly, then turned her head and looked out the window.
"What are you thinking about?" Suddenly, Yan Chen's voice sounded in her ears again.
Xiang Jin didn't look back at him, "Nothing, just looking at the scenery outside."
Listening to her perfunctory answer and looking at her profile, Yan Chen frowned slightly, but he still followed her words and said, "The scenery outside is beautiful?"
Xiang Jin looked back at him and said, "That's not it. It just makes me feel better when I look at the green trees in the distance."
"Are you in a bad mood?"
Xiang Jin shook his head, "No! It's just that I'm used to seeing the unique scenery on campus, and suddenly seeing the different scenery outside feels a bit novel."
Yan Chen looked at her steadily, "But I'm in a bad mood!"
Hearing what he said, Xiang Jin was surprised for a moment, and then nodded without any intention of comforting him.
Yan Chen still looked at her intently, "Don't you want to ask me why I'm in a bad mood?"
Xiang Jin shook his head, "As people grow up, they will have more worries. Just adjust yourself! If I am in a bad mood, I will find something to do to distract my attention, and then slowly I will
Well, you are so self-possessed, I believe you can do it too."
Yan Chen looked at her deeply, then nodded, "Yes!" Then he moved his eyes over.
The car quickly arrived in the town and got off with everyone. Then Yan Chen said that he had something to deal with and would not go to the shop to eat with them.
Xiang Jin and Yan Fei were startled for a moment, then Yan Fei shouted, "No, you won't go. How can I have the nerve to go if you don't go?"
Yan Chen said, "Why are you embarrassed about paying for food?"
Yan Fei nodded immediately, "Oh, that's right. I give you money for meals, but it's not like I don't give you money. Why am I embarrassed? I'm so embarrassed!"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay!"
So everyone walked separately, Xiang Jin and Yan Fei went to their shop, while Yan Chen went directly in the other direction.
When they went to the shop, Xiang Jin's mother and uncles first asked, "Where is Xiao Chen? Why isn't Xiao Chen with you?"
Xiang Jin led Yan Fei to a dining table and sat down casually, "If he has something to do, he won't eat with us."
Yan Fei nodded his head, "Yeah, yeah, that's right, he has something to do!" He followed him and ordered a meal, "Uncle Yang, bring me some fried rice noodles and a meat bun, Aunt Yang, cut it for me.
Braised pork head?!"
Xiang Jin rolled his eyes at him angrily, "You ordered so much, can you finish it?"
Yan Fei chuckled and said a little embarrassedly, "I haven't eaten for a long time, right? I'm having a weird idea. I'll pack that Roujiamo by then!"
Xiang Jin and her aunts all laughed, and then her second uncle said, "The fried rice noodles and roujiamo will be packed later. I know you will be back today, so we made them for you separately."
For food.”
Yan Fei lowered his head and said with embarrassment, "I'm so embarrassed, but I'm eating your free food again?"
Xiang Jin's mother said, "Look what you said, kid, what are you embarrassed about? It's just a meal, what are you embarrassed about? You are good friends with Xiang Jin and Yan Chen in our family, and everyone in school
Just help each other out!"
Yan Fei nodded his head, "That's right, that's right!"
While Xiang Jin was talking, her eldest aunt and second aunt brought the food to the table. There were three dishes and one soup, one stewed mutton soup, one braised pork knuckle, one steamed pork vermicelli, and one cucumber and preserved egg soup.
Then her mother cut up another small plate of braised pork. There were four dishes and one soup on the table. Looking at such rich dishes, Yan Fei secretly swallowed his saliva.
Looking at the milky white color of the soup, Xiang Jin asked, "Where does the mutton come from?" They don't raise sheep here, and mutton is usually harder to buy than beef.
Xiang Jin and her aunt glanced in the direction of her mother. Then Xiang Jin saw that her mother looked a little unnatural, and her uncle lowered his head and said, "It was a gift from a friend."
.”
Xiang Jin nodded, and then he, she and Yan Fei each filled a bowl, "Drink some sheep soup to warm yourself up."
Yan Fei nodded vigorously "Yeah, yeah, yeah".
Xiang Jin also took two sips of the soup, and then asked Yan Fei to eat quickly.
After dinner, Xiang Jin and her uncle packed a portion of fried rice noodles and fried rice noodles for Yan Fei, as well as some meat buns for him to take home to eat. Xiang Jin's mother cut some for Yan Fei.
There is a plate of braised pork with you.
Yan Fei was always embarrassed and took out the money to pay them, but they didn't want it. Yan Fei buried his head again and said with a red face, "It's so embarrassing. I have to take it after I eat it."
Xiang Jin and her second uncles laughed and said, "It doesn't exist, it doesn't exist. If you like it, you can come here more often!"
Following Yan Fei, he said to Xiang Jin's mother, "Aunt Yang, there are classmates in our school who also like to eat your braised pork head. I helped you take a few orders. There are eight portions in total, each of which is half a catty.
As for the portion size, please prepare it for me when the time comes. Cut it into slices, pack it separately, and put a packet of ingredients inside. I will pick it up from you when I go to school tomorrow."
Everyone was surprised, even Xiang Jin. Xiang Jin's mother quickly responded, "Oh, oh, oh, ok, ok!"
Yan Fei followed and said, "In addition, prepare a pound of braised beef and two braised pig trotters for me, and also slice and chop them for me."
"good!"
"Uncle Yang, please help me prepare two kilograms of fried rice noodles and six roujiamo buns when the time comes, and I'll take them with me too!"
Xiang Jin asked, "Have you brought so many?"
Yan Fei nodded, "I've brought it with me," and he took out two thermos buckets from his backpack.
Xiang Jin was speechless immediately. She was asking why he was carrying such a big bag. It turned out that this was what he carried inside.
After explaining the matter, Xiang Jin and the others were about to go back, and her uncle said to see them off. Xiang Jin raised her wrist and glanced at her watch, and found that there was a train leaving in half an hour, so she declined, saying that they
Just take a ride back. It's cold now, and she doesn't want to blow the cold wind back.
His uncle hesitated for a moment and then agreed, and then her aunt and her mother each brought a bag of rice noodles and a bag of braised pork, saying they were for Yan Chen.
After returning home, Xiang Jin put down her things and took the two things to Grandma Mo's house to look for Yan Chen.
When she went there, Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng were both stunned. Then they greeted her with a smile and said, "Girl Jin, are you back?"
"Well, Grandma Mo, Grandpa Zeng, how are you doing these days?"
"Well, okay, okay, we are all okay," Grandma Mo took her hand and looked at her from top to bottom again, and then said, "Oh, girl Jin has grown taller again.
Not much."
Xiang Jin's eyes also curled up, "Really? I also feel that my legs have been cramping when I sleep at night recently."
Grandma Mo smiled and said, "That's why she's growing! Well, the girl has grown a lot prettier too!"
Xiang Jin's face turned slightly red, and then he gave her the basket in his hand, "Grandma Mo, this is some food that my uncle and my mother brought to Yan Chen. You can take it and I'll start with it."
Go back!"
As she said that, she was about to turn around and leave, but Grandma Mo said, "Oh, by the way, girl Jin, didn't Xiao Chen come back with you today?"
Xiang Jin was surprised, "He hasn't come back yet?" She thought he was reading upstairs.
Grandma Mo said, "No!"
Xiang Jin explained to them, "Well, after we got off the bus, he said he had something to do and didn't come with us. We left separately. I went to the shop to find my mother and the others, but I guess he should be back soon."
.”
Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng nodded.
Then Xiang Jin said, "Well, Grandma Mo, Grandpa Zeng, I still have something to do, so I'll go back first?"
"Oh, okay, okay!" The two of them walked her to the door.
Xiang Jin just walked to the fork in the road, and then he bumped into Yan Chen who was coming back. Both of them were stunned for a moment. Xiang Jin spoke first, "You just came back?"
"Well! What about you, are you here for something?!"
Xiang Jin nodded slightly, then shook his head, "It's okay. You just didn't go to the shop to eat today. My uncle and the others brought you some food, so I'll bring it over to you."
Yan Chen lowered his eyes, a flash of disappointment flashed in his eyes, "Well, thank you!"
The corner of Xiang Jin's mouth curled up slightly, "You're welcome, then I'll go back if it's okay?" Xiang Jin pointed in the direction of their home.
Yan Chen nodded slightly, "Yeah!"
Xiang Jin walked directly past him and walked home. Yan Chen turned sideways and looked straight at her back. Xiang Jin suddenly turned around and found that he was looking at her. She was stunned for a moment, and then
He said, "Oh, by the way, let's leave at half past seven tomorrow morning, right?"
Yan Chen looked directly at her and did not dodge, but said, "Nine o'clock, I'll arrive at Kuerya at half past nine, just in time to catch a bus, and then arrive in town at exactly ten o'clock."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay!" Then she turned around and continued walking towards home.
Suddenly Yan Chen called her out, "Xiang Jin?!"
Xiang Jin turned around again and looked at him steadily.
Looking at her still and emotionless eyes, Yan Chen frowned slightly, and then said, "It's okay, you can go back. Just be careful when you wash your feet at night, don't soak them."
Too long!"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Yes, I know!"
The next day, Xiang Jin got up from a long sleep. As soon as he walked into the living room, he saw Yan Chen sitting in front of the coffee table, holding a book and reading.
Then she heard Xiang Lan's dissatisfied voice saying, "Sister, you finally woke up. Brother Yan Chen has been waiting for you a long time ago. You sleep like a pig. No matter how you wake up, you will wake up."
I can't wake you up. If Brother Yan Chen hadn't stopped you and told you to sleep a little longer, I would have wanted to smash the door with a hammer."
Xiang Jin walked over and slapped her on the forehead, "How dare you break down my door and see if I don't throw you into the vegetable garden?"
"Huh huh huh..."
The little girl groaned dissatisfiedly again.
Seeing her pretending to be fierce to scare her sister, the corners of Yan Chen's lips curled up, and then he looked at her tenderly and asked, "Have you slept yet?!"
Xiang Jin raised his messy head and nodded, "Well, what time is it now?"
Yan Chen raised his wrist and glanced, "Eight twenty-seven!"
"Oh, please wait for me a little longer, I'll be fine soon," she said and quickly turned around to wash up.
Seeing her hurried look, Yan Chen said, "No rush, there's enough time!"
Xiang Jin washed up and came back as quickly as possible, then went back to the room and changed clothes. Then she went to the kitchen and took out a steamed bun and gnawed it while walking. She picked up her backpack and said, "Let's go?"
Yan Chen frowned, "Don't want to eat!?"
Xiang Jin raised the steamed bun in his hand and said, "Isn't this it?"
Yan Chen said, "I mean porridge, porridge?!"
Xiang Jin said, "No need, this is just fine!"
Yan Chen couldn't stand it, so he walked over and sat her down at the dining table, "Eat the porridge before you leave!"
Xiang Jin was about to get up, "No, you'll be late later." They had made an appointment with someone.
Yan Chen said, "It won't take long to eat. Sit down and I'll serve you a meal!"
Faced with his overbearing and irrefutable look, Xiang Jin rolled his eyes to the sky speechlessly, then stood up and said, "No, I'll serve it myself!" After saying that, he gnawed the steamed buns and headed towards the kitchen.
.
The two of them were walking on the road to Kuerya. They were basically silent along the way. Finally, Yan Chen couldn't bear it any longer and asked, "Xiang Jin, have you ever liked someone?
?”
Xiang Jin was startled at first, then his face turned cold, and then he shook his head, "No!"
Yan Chen's expression darkened, "But I do like someone. I fell in love with her almost the first time I saw her..."
Xiang Jin's face became even colder, hum, it really is like this! In school, the two of them were flirting with each other.
He came to spread dog food in front of her, so she didn't want to be his trash can and listen to him talk about their "romantic history" there!
Xiang Jin interrupted him directly and said, "Yan Chen, although we are good friends and business partners, I have to pour cold water on you. Can you please stop telling me this? I don't care about this.
I understand, and I’m not interested in this either!
I know that during adolescence, it is normal to have a crush on the opposite sex. Don’t worry, I won’t laugh at you!
But as a friend, I have to remind you that feelings belong to feelings, and learning belongs to learning. You must not delay your studies because of your feelings!
To put it bluntly, the feelings generated now may not come to an end in the future, so it is better to take it easy..."
Yan Chen also interrupted her, "Do you know who the person I like is?"
Xiang Jin said, "I don't know, and I don't want to know. This is meaningless to me. In my opinion, falling in love while studying is purer, but that's all. What's more,
Most of it is a waste of time and energy.
Maybe you won’t agree with my point of view, or maybe in the future, when we all grow up and join the society, we will see more people and encounter more things, and our mood will naturally be different, towards the opposite sex.
There will be a qualitative change in my favorability, and maybe you will agree with what I am saying now."
Yan Chen stared at her and nodded, "Well, I know that you have always been a rational, realistic person with strong self-control. You don't like those illusory things!"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Yes, I am that kind of person. If I want to have a relationship, it must be at least after I graduate from high school and enter the university of my dreams. By then, I will have a good relationship."
Find a reliable person and start a relationship with the ultimate goal of getting married."
The look in Yan Chen's eyes became darker and darker. She actually excluded him from her life. She would rather find someone else to fall in love with than him? He is just a good friend of hers, and in business
Just a partner?!
Fuck her good friends and partners, he doesn’t want to just be her good friends and partners! He wants to be her only love interest and lifelong partner!
Yan Chen is not someone who gives up so easily. So what if he is not in her current plan? He will never let her go! In this life, since the person he identifies with is her, then she
It must belong to him!
After making up his mind, Yan Chen regained his usual energy, raised his head and looked at her blankly and said, "Xiang Jin, have we had any misunderstandings recently?"
"Misunderstanding?! No!" Xiang Jin raised his head, "What misunderstanding can we have?!"
Yan Chen looked at her without moving his eyes, "But I feel like there's been a layer of separation between us recently."
Xiang Jin's eyes narrowed, "Are you overthinking it? I think things are pretty good between us?!"
Yan Chen said, "Maybe!" Then Yan Chen followed up and said, "Xiang Jin, how about you transfer to our rocket class, or I can transfer to your class, so that we can discuss the problem more conveniently?
"
Xiang Jin asked, "Do you think your class teacher will let it go or our class teacher will let it go?"
Yan Chen then smiled helplessly, "Yeah, they won't agree," unless they were divided into arts and sciences classes in their sophomore year of high school, but classes three and five will always be science classes, and liberal arts classes will only have
There are two classes, Class 4 and Class 8, and it is impossible for the two of them to study in the liberal arts class.
Not long after, they arrived at Kuerya. The bus arrived within two minutes. The two stopped talking and got on the bus.
Today's conversation is just the beginning, not the end.
However, it also allowed the two of them to know something about each other. It seemed to Xiang Jin that he really liked Wang Jingya, which made her more certain that her future relationship with him would only exist as a relationship between friends and partners, like before.
It is no longer allowed to rely on him and enjoy his excessive kindness to her. It can no longer be taken for granted. She has to do everything by herself. She can no longer take it for granted.
Rely on others.
Although Xiang Jin's words sounded a little disappointing to Yan Chen, they were also a kind of comfort. It would be better for her not to fall in love while she was studying than to fall in love, and the person she fell in love with was not him. If she found
If you fell in love with a strange boy but didn't find him, he would probably go crazy.
It is a good thing that she does not fall in love while she is studying. For him, as long as she does not fall in love now, when they graduate from high school and go to college, he will have many ways to become her reliable love partner with the purpose of marriage.
Thinking of this, the corner of his mouth curled up!
