After a long time, Jiang Li didn't wait for news from there. He guessed that the girl was going back home to pack her things, so he put down his phone and went to sleep.
A night of silence.
The next morning, Jiang Li got up, had breakfast and lunch as usual, and took the bus back to school.
Su Hexiang left long ago because the car at the gate of the community disappeared.
Master Jiang also wanted to take a ride back to school, because the girl invited him at this time yesterday, but he didn't expect to set off alone today.
Could it be that he was angry because of what he said yesterday? Or maybe he had morning classes and had to leave first...
This doubt remained in Jiang Li's mind until class in the afternoon.
As a student in the same class, he took many classes with Su Hexiang.
Today the girl changed her clothes, a dark sweatshirt and slim-fitting jeans.
Jiang Li took the initiative to say hello, and Su Hexiang lowered his head and buried it in his pillow arm, ignoring him. He felt it was strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange about it, so he simply put it behind him and didn't look into it further.
Let's find an opportunity to explain to her. Su Hexiang probably won't mind if he said he was joking.
Time flies, and most of the afternoon has passed. There is still a hazy drizzle outside the window. The weather this week seems not to be good.
Yesterday, Lu Zhu did not send her flight number. Thinking that it would be inconvenient for a thin girl to carry her luggage on a rainy day, Jiang Li asked Li Xiaoli for a flight.
Fortunately, classmate Li has it.
He slipped out of class and planned to go to the airport now. Counting the time spent on the road, Lu Zhu's flight had just arrived.
Before leaving, Su Hexiang, who had been lying down, raised his head and looked at Jiang Li. The girl's face was still dull, with an unhealthy flush, she must have caught a cold.
When Jiang Li was in the taxi, he originally wanted to send a message to show concern for Su Hexiang, but after two days of contact, they hadn't added him as a friend yet, so he had to give up.
He could make some ginger soup for her at night, he thought.
But these thoughts soon faded away as the airport approached.
Jiang Li first sent Lu Zhu a message that he was picking up the plane. The girl there didn't reply, maybe she was still taxiing.
Not long after, he saw Lu Zhu from a distance at the exit of the foreign arrival, dragging his luggage, wearing a loose white shirt with vertical stripes, a long light brown windbreaker, and black casual pants that outlined his straight long legs.
The girl walked forward in small steps, with the long hem of her windbreaker raised. She looked thin and thin in the bleak coldness of late autumn, but this thinness was somewhat diluted by her sweet and lovely face.
"Classmate Lu, long time no see, welcome back home." Jiang Li smiled and walked forward. He wanted to take the luggage, but he was afraid of making embarrassing choices, so he put his hands in his pockets.
"Long time no see, classmate Jiang." Lu Zhu greeted with a slight smile.
Like all people who meet again after a long absence, the two of them exchanged gentle greetings and polite words, hiding their youth. It was as if the enthusiasm of youth had long been extinguished, but in fact they had not seen each other for a year.
"The squad leader and the others have booked a private room in Linjiang Building. You said you wanted to go yesterday, so I agreed for you. Mr. Lu, you won't blame me for taking over your job, right?"
"Okay, classmate Jiang." Lu Zhu's eyes narrowed. She originally looked very childish, but now she has become a slit, like a crescent moon.
After chatting for half a minute, without any ominous sign, Jiang Li patted the girl's hand and motioned for him to come pick up the luggage.
"Put your luggage back first, and then go eat."
Lu Zhu was polite, but in the end he couldn't compete with him, his face turned red, and he let him go.
In the end, the two returned to Jiang Li's community to put their luggage. Lu Zhu said that they left in a hurry this time, and her house had not been packed out before they could move in. This also meant that she could only stay in a hotel or Jiang Li's house tonight.
After packing their luggage, Lu Zhu rested at Jiang Li's house. After the two chatted for a while, the monitor over there began to urge her. So, the girl carried a small bag and went out with Jiang Li.
It's raining today and there's no afterglow of the setting sun. The sky above is dove gray, with a hint of dark blue in the distance.
Jiang Li led Lu Zhu to the private room in Linjiang Building.
Lu Zhu took a few steps behind the boy, raised his head, and suddenly felt that the boy's figure overlapped with that of before. He hadn't seen him for a year. In fact, the time was neither short nor long. He was almost the same as before, and there were some changes.
Entering the box, everyone greeted the girl enthusiastically. Lu Zhu also greeted his classmates gently, but Jiang Li, who came in together, became the backdrop.
Everyone has arrived and the food has begun to be served.
Jiang Li sat on the left side of Lu Zhu, and on the right side of the girl was Li Xiaoli. While they were drinking, he blocked a lot of wine for Lu Zhu.
Jiang Li's physical strength, which was close to full level, was not afraid of alcohol. He was just a little drunk, but he felt a blockage in his lower abdomen, and he had the urge to urinate.
He quickly declined the toasts from the malicious male classmates and got up to go to the bathroom.
Lu Zhu's face was still slightly red from the drunkenness. When he saw the young man getting up with a worried look on his face, he felt uneasy and chased after him.
After the two left, a burst of booing broke out in the box, and it was vaguely audible that it was about the two of them.
When Lu Zhu heard those talks, his heart felt inexplicably sour, and the word "sorrow" was written on his baby's fat face.
Jiang Li in front noticed the footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw that it was a girl. He smiled and said, "Classmate Lu, how do you feel about returning to China?"
"...It's pretty good." Lu Zhu hesitated for a moment and said softly.
"That's fine."
Jiang Li entered the men's room, and Lu Zhu stopped at the door. When the boy came out, she followed him again.
Jiang Li walked in front and lifted the door curtain for Lu Zhu, a gentleman. When the girl walked by, she turned her head and saw that his Adam's apple was protruding, looking inexplicably attractive, and she was slightly startled.
Jiang Li lowered his head as if feeling something. The girl quickened her pace, but her ears felt hot.
After three rounds of meals, the private room was filled with smoke and smoke. The reception banquet was just a superficial pretense, and the real purpose was to take the opportunity to reminisce with classmates.
After the monitor finished paying the bill, everyone went downstairs.
While waiting for the bus, the class monitor kept his tongue open, leaned on Jiang Li's shoulder, and said secretly: "Brother Jiang, this time... you have to seize the opportunity, Lu Zhu... she may not stay in the country for how long..."
Jiang Li turned around and dunked: "Squad leader, you drank too much."
After saying that, the car arrived and the monitor was put into the car.
After settling down the drunken classmates one by one and saying goodbye to the remaining classmates, Jiang Li led Lu Zhu in a taxi home.
Both of them were in the back seat, with an empty seat between them.
The air inside the car was filled with the smell of alcohol, accompanied by the fragrance of the girl.
Jiang Li was very familiar with this smell. He often smelled it when he was at the same table in high school.
"Jiang Li, can I stay at your house tonight? I'm afraid of staying in a hotel alone at night..."
Lu Zhu said to him with a sad face, his eyes full of pleading.
Jiang Li looked at her and secretly thought something was wrong.
As expected, there was a ding and the option was triggered...
