Chapter 12: Changes

As soon as I drove the car to the downstairs of Yi Xin's house, I saw Yi Xin standing downstairs waiting for me.

"Yixin, you've come down so soon, how long have you been waiting for me?"

"I've just come down, are we in time?"

"Don't worry, I'll already count the time. โ€

"That's good! Chen Ye, if you are not in a hurry, you can drive slower on the road for a while. โ€

"Alright, let's go now. โ€

"Hey, okay. โ€

Ishin sat next to me, leaning quietly against the window of the car, and I drove through this lonely night, the trees on the side of the road gently shaking. From time to time, Yixin and I also exchanged a sentence or two, and in the interval between words, time passed little by little, and soon we arrived at the airport.

"Let's go, Yixin, we're just in the right time. I parked the car and said to Ishin, who was sitting next to me.

"Okay, you're weird at this time. Ishin quipped.

"Of course. I smiled, "Let's go, my Ishin." โ€

I silently took her hand, and a hint of pride flashed between my brows, a sense of pride in satisfying a woman's desire to protect.

The plane took off on time, and after a thirteen-hour trip, Ishin fell asleep on my shoulder.

When the sun was slightly tilting, the plane arrived in New York State, and Ishin and I finally set foot on a foreign land.

At this point, we began to travel and work all the way, we stopped in one city for a few days, and then went to the next. Although the journey was very tiring, it was very happy.

And every time I go to a city, I buy a postcard and stamp that is exclusive to that city. Write down your feelings and moods as a memento of the time and place, and then take these postcards back with you.

Just as we arrived in Miami, Florida's second-largest city, I finally met my old friend, and the first face we saw when we got off the train was Xiao Jun. He was wearing a baggy outfit and looked a little chubby. He also wears a silver cross pendant around his neck, which is very characteristic of Florida.

Originally, Xiao Jun was going to take us to the temporary apartment first, but I suddenly received a message from the company, because of the time schedule of the cooperative company, I had to rush there to talk about work now. So I asked Xiao Jun to take us in the direction of the cooperative company first.

The streets of Miami are plain, not that kind of glitter, but flowing with a dark gray tone. The street was empty, and in front of it was an empty roadway, and occasionally a few hurried passers-by walked in front of them. What I could feel was the fierce sunlight and lush plants, and the heat surging up wave after wave, which weighed heavily on my body.

I turned my head to look at Yi Xin, who was bowing her head next to me, and she was usually energetic and confident, but at this time she also became depressed, out of place with the surrounding scenery. I think it was the boring fatigue of the train, coupled with the long and boring journey toil, that tortured her body and made her extra vulnerable.

"Yixin, if you're tired, you can find a place to rest and wait for us. โ€

"Chen Ye, I..."

"Okay, don't be reckless, you go and rest first, we've been running around for the past few days, you're a girl, and your body will definitely not be able to hold it." โ€

"Okay, then remember to call me when you're done talking. โ€

"Uh-huh. โ€

Xiao Jun and I rushed to the company we were working with before noon, and then he waited for me in the lobby while I took care of the work myself. After about an hour, I was able to finish my work, which meant that I didn't have to worry about work for the next few days in Florida.

On our way back, I saw a small shop selling postcards, and immediately stopped Xiao Jun and asked him to come into the store with us.

"Chen Ye, what are you going to do when you buy this, do you want to bring it back to the people in your company as gifts?" Xiao Jun asked impatiently with a look of displeasure.

"No, I want to buy it and take it back and give it to Ishin later. As I spoke, I carefully selected the right postcard, and I didn't care about Xiao Jun's feelings.

"For Yi Xin, it seems that you are still the same as when you were in high school, thinking about how to please girls all the time. Xiao Jun glanced at me.

"Who thinks about pleasing girls every day, don't talk nonsense, you kid, why don't I remember this. I glanced at him and said angrily.

Xiao Jun glanced at me and continued: "I'm not talking nonsense, don't deny it, we are such iron brothers, I know everything about you." โ€

"Okay, okay, whatever you say, okay. I didn't bother to pay attention to him, so I casually admitted it.

"Chen Ye, you are too perfunctory, I'm not joking with you, I really think you have changed a lot from high school, but it's a pity, I used to be so optimistic about the two of you. He pretended to be disappointed, and people had to care.

I looked at him and asked, "What do you mean by that, what did I do in high school?"

Just as I was expecting Xiao Jun to answer, my mobile phone rang suddenly. I saw Yi Xin's name flashing on my phone, took a deep breath, and looked helplessly at Xiao Jun in front of me.

"Forget it, you answer the phone first, and when we come out for a drink another day, let's talk about the old days and talk about how we've been doing in the past few years." โ€

I got on the phone and Ishin said she had arrived at the apartment early. Xiao Jun and I said goodbye for a while, and then walked in the direction of the apartment. As soon as I opened the door, I heard Ishin's voice in the living room, light and energetic, and I walked into the living room to listen to her say what happened today's day.

"Chen Ye, what do you guess I did today?"

"What's the matter?" I said, looking at Ishin quizzically.

"Guess what!"

"Wellโ€”you must have bought me something delicious to eat when I get back. โ€

"Hmph, I only know how to eat every day. Ishin gave me a blank look, then lowered his head and took a sip of freshly brewed coffee, smacking his lips. "I went to send a courier to my mother this afternoon, isn't it very sweet. โ€

"That's pretty good, what did you send?"

"Shoulder and neck stickers, didn't my mother say that her shoulders would hurt when it was rainy. She pursed her mouth, "I just heard that the shoulder and neck stickers here are very useful, so I sent some back to my mother." โ€

"Then mom will definitely like it, after all, you sent it. โ€

"Oh, Chen Ye, the two of us send the same. โ€

"That's not necessarily, Mom loves you in every way. I looked at Ishin and deliberately raised my voice in reply. "Oh yes, Yi Xin, I may go out with Xiao Jun these days, that kid said he was going to catch up with me, I'll tell you first. โ€

"Oh, then there you go!" she paused, "Wait... Reminiscing... Can I go? Actually, I want to hear about your past. โ€
