Chapter 5: Silver-Grey Shirt

As soon as Jiang Yu got in the car, Jianghu called and said that there was a guest who had made an appointment for a car at half past six on Zhongshan Road.

When I looked at my phone, it was already five o'clock, and it would take at least fifty minutes to get to Zhongshan Road from here, and it was almost the evening rush hour now.

Jiang Yu looked ahead, this low-lying perspective made her a little unaccustomed, but now was not the time to adjust, she had to hurry over.

Fingers were regularly clasped on the steering wheel, the radio station was playing a song and dance, and the road sign ahead showed her elevated line in red and yellow.

She was blocked on an elevated shelf, like a fragile insect deliberately made difficult by humans, and the obstacles were so tight on all sides that she couldn't move.

For twenty minutes, she felt that she had traveled without even a single lap of the wheel.

Fidgety wanting to smoke a cigarette.

However, in fact, she no longer smokes, she used to do it for fun, but now because it costs so much to buy cigarettes, even her father doesn't smoke.

The car slowly swallowed like a steamer, but fortunately it arrived at the place designated by the guest without danger.

She found a seat and pulled the car over, and the door of the back seat was pulled open and a person sat in.

"I'm sorry, but this car has already been booked by passengers. Jiang Yu said apologetically, at this time she hadn't seen the person who came in.

"You're one minute and thirty-six seconds late. The man said.

Late?

It seems that he is the guest who made the reservation.

The voice seemed familiar, though.

She looked in the rearview mirror, her eyes widened suddenly, and the man was wearing a familiar silver-gray silk shirt and quickly turned around: "It's you?"

Ji Chuan was also a little surprised when he saw Jiang Yu sitting in front, but soon his expression remained as usual: "Hurry up, you're already late." ”

Seeing that his expression was calm, Jiang Yu felt that he was a little out of shape, so he quickly adjusted himself and started the car.

"Six hundred and forty Yishan Road?" she said, confirming the location.

"Hmm. Are you renting out again?" asked Ji Chuan.

"No, my dad is not feeling well, I will replace him. Jiang Yu replied.

She still has a lot of questions about Ji Chuan in her heart, such as that phone call.

"That, this morning, the Aunt Yun you said called me. She said tentatively.

"Yes. She's already criticized me. Ji Chuan replied quite sincerely.

"Criticism?" Jiang Yu was still confused.

"Yes. She said that my behavior scared you, and she encouraged me to be friends with you, but my behavior was not correct enough. He looked at her, "You can point out my mistakes, I will accept them, and I will learn to correct them." ”

"Well, I can understand you. However, I have a question. Jiang Yu said.

"You say. He said.

"How do you have my cell phone number? Do you know me well? Also, is it a coincidence that you called my dad's car?" she asked, expressing her doubts.

"I only promised to answer one question. Then answer the first one. In the information age, especially in the mass service industry like yours, it is not surprising that information transparency is high. He said.

Jiang Yu was speechless for a while, but she felt that his behavior was really strange: "Did we know each other before?"

Could it be the flowers and plants that she unintentionally provoked when she was a teenager?

"Recognize. He said firmly.

"But I don't remember anything. Jiang Yu tried to recall the bits and pieces that had happened in the past, trying to piece together a complete memory of Ji Chuan.

However, the truth is that there are not even scattered fragments of memory.

Ji Chuan's outstanding appearance should not be forgotten at a glance.

"Look, you can't remember. To be honest, I'm a little disappointed in you. His tone was indeed a little "disappointed", but more aggrieved.

His eyes flickered in the light outside the window, like one of those crystal balls with sequins added to them.

Jiang Yu found that he was very honest about expressing his emotions, and he didn't have the appearance that most people are used to hiding their emotions and wearing masks to socialize.

In a sense, Jiang Yu speculated that he should be the kind of person who was very pure.

"Then all I can say sorry to you. Jiang Yu said.

The road conditions were still very bad, and they began to chat without saying a word.

It can be said that Jiang Yu is asking and Ji Chuan is answering.

"How do you get out of there, it's all office buildings. Jiang Yu asked.

"I just got off work. Ji Chuan's eyes seemed to be looking at a fool.

"You're still at work?" Jiang Yu felt as if his ears had misheard.

"Yes, although I don't like it either, but Ji Cheng said that he needs me and will pay me well. Ji Chuan replied.

"You... Can you go to work?" Jiang Yu still felt a little mysterious, could it be that she had misunderstood him before?

Ji Chuan wondered why Jiang Yu kept clinging to work, but he still thought about it seriously before answering: "Aunt Yun said that my talent should be put to good use. I put in the mental work, got paid accordingly, and then supported myself. ”

When he said that, she should have understood, right?

Jiang Yu was silent for a while, since he could go to work, then he should be a normal person, but she had an unfair misunderstanding of him before.

"I'm sorry, I think I should say sorry to you. Jiang Yu said.

"Why?" Ji Chuan asked curiously.

"I had a misunderstanding of you before, and that night I thought you... Not quite normal. I apologize to you, I'm sorry. Jiang Yu remembered that night, and she said he was stupid.

Ji Chuan's sitting posture was still quite restrained, but it was much more relaxed than on the bus that day, and he seemed to be pondering for a while: "Yes." Never mind. I choose to forgive you. In fact, I do seem to have a problem with myself. I could feel that my relationships seemed very bad. ”

Jiang Yu somewhat understood, maybe it was just because his personality was more eccentric, so the whole person looked a little "special".

"Maybe it's because you're too honest. Jiang Yu said.

"Yes. Ji Chuan replied quickly, those two words seemed to be his mantra, "Honesty? No, do you mean that honesty is not good? I thought honesty was a virtue." ”

"That's not what I meant. Jiang Yu said, "It's just that honesty means telling the truth." ”

"Isn't it good to tell the truth?" he was like a child full of curiosity.

"In this world, there is no room for so many truths. Jiang Yu replied.

"Why?" he continued, a bit of a diagonal.

"Because sometimes the truth is not good, even quite bad. She replied.

"Speaking is the same as singing, is it necessary to distinguish between good and bad sounds?" he asked.

"The 'goodness' of singing is for the ears, and the 'goodness' of speech is for the heart. Jiang Yu said.

"I understand that. Emotions are closely related to the brain, but many times they are expressed by the heart and a series of surrounding organs. Ji Chuan said.

"Well, yes. Nice words can make you feel at ease. Jiang Yu said.

"It's just that I don't understand, should I have said to you, 'You're awesome,' when you fell last night?" he continued to ask.

"No, the opposite of honesty is not the opposite. I know that what you say is what you really think in your heart, but sometimes the purpose of speaking is to show kindness. Jiang Yu said, "For example, last night, you can run over and say, 'Are you okay?' Did you fall somewhere?' ”

"I see. You mean that I can swallow it all in my stomach without making any judgments about the facts. Ji Chuan said.

"Yes, sometimes. Jiang Yu felt that she was a little stunned by Ji Chuan, her knowledge was not enough to fight with him for three hundred rounds.

"So, isn't being honest a gesture of goodwill?" he asked.

"Have you ever heard the term 'white lie'?" Jiang Yu asked.

"Yes, I've heard that. He replied quickly.

"Wouldn't that be nice. She was a little defeated, and she seemed to sense why his relationships were bad.

"So, to tell a lie is to show kindness?" he asked.

"Sometimes it's an expression of kindness, sometimes it's to cover up a purpose, and more often it's to protect yourself. Jiang Yu sighed and found that Ji Chuan was indeed a blank piece of paper, "When you stay in society for a long time, you will understand." ”

"Have you been here for a long time? So you can understand what I can't figure out?" he leaned his head forward.

"Sort of. Jiang Yu replied.

"How old are you?" asked Ji Chuan.

"27." She replied.

27 years old, is indeed not small.

"Oh, no wonder. I am 24 years old. He pouted, as if expressing displeasure with his age.

A heated discussion finally came to an end.

I didn't expect it to end with each other's exploding age.

Jiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, she was not good at telling such long truths.

The blue taxi is already driving on Yishan Road, next to a villa area.

"Where is your home?" Jiang Yu looked at the gate of the villa area, although the location here is considered a suburb, but the value of the villa is not a joke.

"Yes, drive in and I'll show you the way. Ji Chuan said.

Jiang Yu drove into the community, the environment here is quite deserted, even a little remote, and there is no large market nearby. You need to drive to the supermarket.

But the people who live in the villa naturally don't care about this.

Walking through the shady green trees, Ji Chuan asked her to stop in front of a small villa, in this community, all the villas look almost the same.

"I didn't buy this house. Didn't spend money. Ji Chuan was still sitting in the back seat and was not in a hurry to leave.

"Huh?" Is there a reason why it doesn't cost money?

"It was given by Ji Cheng. Don't think he's a philanthropist, he's a shrewd and treacherous businessman, and I'm not just going to do more than just this suburban villa in a non-prime location away from the city center. "But that's what he likes, quiet enough, quiet enough.

He hated the endless noises pouring into his ears like garbage.

Ji Chuan opened the door and got out of the car, walked outside, stood next to the driver's seat of Jiang Yu, and knocked on the window glass.

Jiang Yu opened the car window, I don't know why.

"I want to invite you to come in and sit down. Here you can see Aunt Yun. Ji Chuan made a gesture of invitation.

"No, I still have to do business. Jiang Yu politely refused.

"Do business?" Ji Chuan repeated in a low voice, "I suggest you still don't do it." You're a bus driver, so you shouldn't be in the same company as your father, so what will happen if you find out that you're on duty? If a passenger finds out that the driver doesn't match the person on the information board, won't they call to complain?"

Jiang Yu just wanted to speak, but a strange person over there walked over first.
