Chapter 98: The Book of War
September 24th.
Yesterday happened to be the autumn equinox, and the temperature in the afternoon was probably the last vestiges of late summer.
After the burning clouds on the horizon had dispersed, the wind suddenly began in the night. Dark clouds piled up and carried away with the wind, gradually blocking the last quarter of the moon. The night suddenly began to cool a little.
At this time, Cheng Yan and Tang Qingying had not yet slept.
By two o'clock in the morning, the drizzle was falling.
It's autumn.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the rain was pouring outside.
Tang Qingying sat on a chair in the front desk, looking at the street outside in a daze.
When she came yesterday, in order to look very ladylike and innocent, she deliberately wore a sleeveless white chiffon skirt. But she obviously didn't expect the temperature to drop, and now she couldn't go back to get her clothes, so she had to find a bath towel to use as a shawl and drape it on her body, and then put her face on the table and yawned, unconsciously swaying her calves.
The rain isn't as heavy as in summer, but it looks like it's going to be extraordinarily long. She didn't mean to be upset at all, she just felt very comfortable.
"In this kind of cool weather, you should sleep well under the quilt...... Tang Qingying thought silently, and suddenly became a little jealous of Cheng Yan, but she glanced at Yin Nuxia, who was sitting on the opposite sofa at this time, holding a mop and dozing little by little, and couldn't help but smile.
"It's not bad to stay with my brother-in-law!"
Tang Qingying smiled quietly, and then she didn't know what she remembered, and she suddenly turned her head and glanced at the stairs. Seeing that the stairs were empty, she puffed out her mouth like a goldfish.
Yin Nuxia continued to sit on the sofa and dozed off with the plastic rod of the mop, her eyes narrowed involuntarily, like a napping cat. General Lee sat at the door and watched the pedestrians hurrying on the sidewalk outside with umbrellas, but the weather was bad and few people stopped to buy his pot helmet.
Time passed little by little.
Suddenly, a family of three came down from the upper floor.
Tang Qingying saw them holding their luggage, immediately patted his head to cheer up, smiled at them, and asked in a low voice as if he was afraid of disturbing the quiet of the rainy day, "Are you leaving?"
Lady Yin, who was sitting on the sofa, also raised her head to look at them and rubbed her eyes.
"Well, check out. The young man carrying the suitcase also smiled, he took out the room card, took out the deposit receipt from his wallet, and handed it to Tang Qingying.
"Sister Yin Dan, 309 check the room. Tang Qingying said.
"Oh. ”
Yin Nuxia walked upstairs quickly.
Tang Qingying nodded to the family of three again: "Please wait a moment, it will be fine soon, you can sit here." ”
"No need. ”
"How was your rest last night?" Tang Qingying asked again.
"Had a very comfortable night's sleep. The young woman smiled, holding a child in her arms who looked to be up to two years old, but it was not at all obvious that she was already a mother of a child.
"Yes!" Tang Qingying said with a smile, "It's good to sleep when it rains and cools down, especially in spring and autumn." ”
"Your hotel is also very decorated, as soon as you walk in, you feel very comfortable, very reassuring feeling. The woman smiled, even the children who usually cry were sleeping soundly last night, and after having a child, the two of them had not rested so well for a long time.
"Oh!" Tang Qingying smiled disappreciably, it was clearly the reason for the rain!
She quickly came back to her senses, and still said sweetly to the little couple: "Since you are satisfied with the stay, remember to give us a good review on the website!"
"Definitely, definitely. ”
When the family of three took a taxi and left, Cheng Yun walked down the stairs slowly.
He was holding a thin coat in his hand, and at a glance he saw Tang Qingying wearing a bath towel, and suddenly showed an expression that was not what I expected: "It's cold?"
"It's a little ......"
"Did you bring thick clothes to school?"
"No, I'm too lazy to bring it!" Tang Qingying said and rubbed his eyes, "I'll just buy two in two days." ”
"The weather forecast says that it will rain for several days, so have you been wrapped in sheets like this for the past few days?" Cheng Yun said and handed her the coat, "This is mine, you will wear it first, and I will go home and get some clothes later, and you can wear Cheng Yan's later." ”
"What about you?" Tang Qingying looked at him stunned, and then pulled the corner of the bath towel dissatisfiedly, "It's not a sheet......
"I'm not cold, I'm in good health! Cheng Yun said, "If you don't want to wear it, turn on the air conditioner." ”
"Oh, thank you, brother-in-law. Tang Qingying immediately ripped off the bath towel and put on his coat. This coat was a little big on her, but there was an inexplicable feeling of reassurance, which made her grin slightly.
"What about Cheng Yan?" asked Cheng Yun suddenly.
"She hasn't gotten up yet. Tang Qingying said.
"Haven't gotten up yet?" Cheng Yun frowned, "Doesn't she usually get up early?
Coincidentally, Cheng Yan's voice came from the staircase-
"I ordered takeout before I went to bed last night. ”
Cheng Yun turned her head and found that Cheng Yan was also dressed very thinly, and she was slowly walking down from the upper floor, and at the same time she also said: "I was pulled by a classmate who didn't want to reveal my identity until the early hours of the morning last night, and I really slept well this morning, so I slept over." ”
"Yes!" Tang Qingying nodded, "We received breakfast this morning, and it was exactly four of us, so I, Sister Yin Dan, Sister Yu Dian, and Li Jing ate it." ”
"Oh. Cheng Yun nodded, and asked Cheng Yan again, "Do you have breakfast?" ”
"It's time to make lunch a little later. Cheng Yan walked to the front desk, looked at the rain outside, and suddenly saw Tang Qingying who was wearing Cheng Yun's coat, although she couldn't see the whole picture of the dress with the cover of the counter, she could recognize it at a glance, it was Cheng Yun's clothes.
So I saw her eyes narrowing slightly, paused, and then continued to say to Cheng Yun, "I originally said that I asked you to accompany me to buy two clothes today, but I didn't expect it to rain so heavily." ”
"Buying clothes?" Cheng Yun was stunned.
Cheng Yan turned his head and glanced at him expressionlessly: "Shouldn't I buy two new clothes for the new semester?"
"But...... I'll go buy it with you?"
"Otherwise?" Cheng Yan frowned slightly, "It's weird to go shopping for clothes alone." ”
"And what about you?"
"It used to be your mom and I who used to hang out. Cheng Yan glanced at him lightly.
"Okay......" Cheng Yun nodded helplessly, "But I rarely accompany girls to buy clothes!"
"Didn't you often accompany Tang Qingyan?" Cheng Yan raised his eyebrows.
Tang Qingying next to him also immediately pricked up his ears.
"Very little. Cheng Yun replied honestly.
"I don't believe it. Cheng Yan and Tang Qingying said almost in unison.
"Forehead......" Cheng Yun looked at the two of them embarrassedly, buckled his head and said, "The main reason is that I was busy at that time, and I was lazy, and I didn't have time to go to class, so I finally managed to squeeze out some time to spend on sightseeing in the mountains and waters, and it seems that there is nothing to go out on a date with her except for watching movies and eating......"
After speaking, he waved his hand again: "It's all in the past, don't mention it!"
"Aren't you mostly alone?"
"Ahem, yes, she's going to class. ”
"Tut-tut. Cheng Yan sighed, "So I can talk to you all the time about graduation, true love!!
Cheng Yun: "......"
"I'll find a way to make money when I'm free, and I'll go around the mountains and rivers when I earn money!" Cheng Yan said.
"You're free right now. Cheng Yun said.
Cheng Yan: "......"
"Aren't you wearing such a thin outfit to be cold?" Cheng Yun said as he looked at her.
"Huh. Cheng Yan sneered twice, and then looked at Tang Qingying again, "Do you only realize this now?"
Tang Qingying pulled the zipper of his coat up a little more.
"No, no, no......" Cheng Yun hurriedly waved his hand, "I mean, it's just that I'm free now, and the weather has cooled down, so let's go home and get some clothes for spring and autumn." By the way, I will help Xiaoxiao get one too, otherwise it will not be good for her to wear mine all the time. ”
"I see she's very well dressed!" Cheng Yan continued.
"yes, yes, I'm glad I'm dressed. Tang Qingying also nodded vigorously on the side, as if she didn't see Cheng Yan's cold eyes at all.
"Uh......" Cheng Yun was very embarrassed and hesitated, "That...... Do you want to go?"
"Nonsense!" Cheng Yan said, "If you don't go back to get your clothes when it's so cold, you want to freeze me to death!"
"Do you see your attitude of talking to your guardian?" Cheng Yun was also helpless, hesitated, took out his mobile phone and opened the Didi software, "Then let's go, I'll call a car first." ”
"Wait, I'll go upstairs and pack something!"
"Take what?"
"I've finished reading a few books, take them back and put them away! Summer skirts can also be put away!" Cheng Yan said angrily, from her position, as long as she glanced at it, she could see Tang Qingying smiling in Cheng Yun's coat, she always felt that the smile on this classmate's face was some kind of smile similar to that of a winner, and it was a sarcasm for herself-
"Look, it's obviously your own brother, it's been more than ten years, but you still can't win against me, slightly~~'
"Okay, go and go!" Cheng Yun said.
Not long after, when Cheng Yan came down again, she was holding a big paper bag in one hand and a few books in the other, but those books were a bit heavy and seemed to be not very stable, as if they were about to fall off with the bumps of the stairs.
At this time, General Li came in and poured a glass of water, chatting with Cheng Yun about today's business.
"So far, it seems that less than thirty have been sold. General Li sighed and looked at the bad weather outside, "Maybe I can only sell a few dozen today." ”
"It's good to be able to sell so much on a rainy day. Cheng Yun comforted.
Cheng Yan held the books tightly with his right hand, stepped down from the stairs in two steps, and tried to make his steps as steady as possible. But even if it's not too thick, it's definitely not thin, it's hard to hold it with one hand, and when you are trembling again, you can't help but fall to the ground with a bang - Cheng Yan couldn't do it if he wanted to put it on the coffee table quickly!
General Li was standing not far away, and hurriedly came over and bent down to help her pick it up, but as soon as he bent down, the covers of two of the books caught his attention-
The name of a book has only one word, and it is called "Win".
There is another book that is famous, and the title of the book reads "Sun Tzu's Dictionary of the Art of War: Revised Edition".
A flash of suspicion flashed in General Li's eyes.
