The night before Yan Licorice's departure, he received a call from Bai Zhu, who is now in their hotel in the county seat, and will go back with Yan Licorice tomorrow.

Swallow licorice is staggering, this is not a joke. She confirmed the news again and again, and when she learned that the news was accurate, her heart was pounding, and the phrase "he didn't come to pick me up on purpose" immediately appeared in her mind, so she asked him why he came to her small place and when he came.

Baizhu didn't say when he came, but just said that he came here to do something, and happened to remember that Yan Licorice was going to Yishi, so he invited her to go with him. Naturally, the swallow licorice did not believe his words. Although he doesn't know what kind of business Baizhu is doing, his business definitely hasn't done it in her county.

What is his reason for being here? She couldn't think of any other reason than to pick her up on purpose.

She was overjoyed by this idea, lying on the bed tossing and turning, every time she left insomnia in the past, it was because she was reluctant to stay at home, and this time it was because of Baizhu. She unplugged her phone that was still charging, and wanted to send a text message to Baizhu to ask to confirm her guess, but she was afraid that she would be sentimental. She wanted to send it to Ruan Jiaojiao again, but she wrote and deleted it on her mobile phone, and finally gave up.

Early the next morning, Yan Licorice looked at his panda eyes, put concealer on them, thought about the people he was going to meet later, and put on a very light makeup. Put the clothes you had prepared in the morning in your suitcase, take out the red trench coat you bought a few days ago when you went shopping with your old classmates and put it on, with a black turtleneck cardigan inside.

What came out of the room was my mother's eyes, and she said with a smile: "I should have worn this a long time ago, I looked so festive and energetic." ”

Yan Licorice was praised, happy in my heart, and felt that I was in good shape. I began to look forward to the meeting with Baizhu again.

From the town of licorice to the county seat, the bus has to travel on the road for about 1 hour, and under normal circumstances, licorice will definitely sleep in this 1 hour. This time she couldn't sleep, except for looking at the rapidly retreating fields and houses outside the window with a little apprehension and anticipation, what she thought about the most was the scene when she met Lai Lingfeng later.

Meet at the station? Meet outside the station, or somewhere else in the county? What to say in the first sentence of the meeting, what kind of topics do the two people talk about in his car so that they don't feel embarrassed, or what kind of topics are common to two people? The brain of the swallow liquor root has not been this fast for a long time.

When the car was still some way away from the county seat, Yan Licorice took out the small makeup bag in his bag, cut his hair, reapplied lip balm, and then used lipstick to make up some color. Make sure that your collar is normal, take off the scarf around your neck and put it back on, look left and right in the mirror to make sure you are satisfied, and put things away. Seeing that his hands were a little dry, he took out hand cream and moisturized it.

Sitting next to the swallow licorice was an old grandmother, who saw her actions and asked jokingly, "Do you want to see your partner?" ”

Yan Licorice shook her head with a dry smile, "No, just get it." ”

"Don't be embarrassed, I was like this when I was younger, what did your boyfriend do?"

Yan Licorice smiled and didn't answer, the old woman asked a few more questions, Yan Licorice also smiled and didn't reply, hoping that the old woman could automatically end the topic, but the old woman didn't mind her estrangement, and still talked enthusiastically next to her. Glycyrrhiza was not used to this kind of communication, and her whole body was uncomfortable, but fortunately, the car arrived at the place soon, and Glycyrrhiza Glarice was relieved to say goodbye to the old man.

When she arrived at the waiting hall, she called Baizhu and told her where she was. Baizhu counted the time she got on the train to send a text message to herself and the time she arrived at the county seat, and had already found a place outside the station to stop and wait. After receiving her call, I came to the waiting hall and found the swallow licorice.

He was wearing the coat he wore the last time they met, with a beige and gray plaid scarf, which hung casually around his neck, with a strong sense of elegance. The short hair is slightly combed back, giving it a sleek and steady look.

When he came to the waiting hall, he immediately attracted everyone's attention, and his temperament cultivation was rarely matched in Yi City, and now it was even more outstanding in this county, and Yan Licorice also saw him for the first time.

With a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, he walked steadily towards the swallow licorice. Yan Licorice saw that the frequency of his heartbeat became faster, and the corners of his mouth were as uncontrollable as the uncontrollable heartbeat.

Baizhu stopped in front of her, and without waiting for Yan Licorice to say hello, he reached out and pulled her into his arms, hugging her tightly. Surrounded by the smell of his body, ironed by his warm embrace, and bewildered by the whispered "Happy New Year" in her ear.

He took the licorice box in one hand and the licorice in the other, and led her to the place where he parked.

"Do you want to go now, or do you want to go later?" He was very considerate and took off the small bag on the back of the swallow licorice.

"Do you have anything else?"

Bai Shu shook his head with a smile, "Things have been settled." ”

Yan Licorice wanted to ask him what the matter was here, but he couldn't think of how to speak, so he said: "I don't have anything to do, if you don't have anything to do, let's go, it will take a long time on the road, and now the Spring Festival is estimated to be stuck in traffic." ”

Baizhu looked at his watch, it was already eleven o'clock, "Are you hungry?" ”

Swallow Licorice shook her head, "Didn't you eat breakfast?" ”

"I've eaten, I see it's almost noon, and it'll be noon later, if you're hungry, I don't know if there's a restaurant on the road?"

Yan Licorice smiled when she heard this, "It doesn't matter, I brought some snacks, if I am hungry, I can eat some, and it is only a few hours on the road, so it is good to have early dinner." After eating so much during the Chinese New Year, one or two hungry meals should be used as weight loss. ”

Bai Zhu smiled when he heard this, he opened the car door to let the swallow licorice in, and then said hello and ran to the small supermarket next to him.

Yan Licorice watched his actions and guessed what he was doing in there, and her heart was happy, and the smile on her face never stopped.

When he came out of the supermarket and got into the car, the licorice saw the plastic bag he handed to him, which was filled with small snacks such as plums, cakes, melon seeds, and some oranges and tangerines.

"You're buying too much, aren't you?"

"It doesn't matter, if you can't finish eating, take it back to the dormitory, this is not easy to spoil. You can eat when you are idle or hungry. Baizhu felt happy when she saw Yan Licorice's smiling face, and her attitude towards herself also changed greatly.

Before Baizhu started the car, Yan Licorice lowered his head and fastened his seat belt, but he was picked up by Baizhu just now. After fastening his seat belt, he did not leave as before, but gently held her in his arms, and gently rested his chin on the top of her head. Yan Licorice was held by him motionlessly, and did not dare to make a move, this hug was different from the hug just now. There is obviously more cherishment in this hug, and there is a strong love that makes the swallow licorice still don't know if it should be returned.

She likes atractylodes, but this liking has not yet been explained. She also likes Baizhu's light friendship with her, but when she is not fully ready, this love is so caught off guard that it comes again, and she can only freeze.

Baizhu's voice sounded overhead: "You said that the Lantern Festival came to my dumpling, I always remembered, you can't cheat." ”

There seemed to be uneasiness in his tone, and Yan Licorice softened when she heard this, and slowly relaxed and leaned into his arms. Baizhu felt the change in her, rejoiced in his heart, and hugged her a little tighter.

"Licorice, you haven't promised me yet."

"If you don't feel at ease, you can start guarding the door of my company that morning." The voice of the swallow licorice is very soft, and the tone is also very slow.

Baizhu didn't speak, and Yan Licorice felt the arm holding her tighten again, and her body became softer. The car was quiet, and Yan Licorice felt that her heart, which had been beating wildly just now, was now quiet, and the sourness was mixed with the quiet of joy.

Before the Spring Festival, the road was full of vehicles, and Baizhu's car drove on the national highway for more than an hour before turning to the highway. The swallow licorice that slept in the car became energetic this time, and Baizhu's car drove very steadily, and she did not suffer from motion sickness while talking to Bai about the interesting things of the New Year while watching the scenery on the side of the road.

Worried that she would get motion sickness, Baizhu bought her motion sickness medicine, but was refused. Yan Licorice was tired of motion sickness medicine, went to school in the county seat in high school, and had to take motion sickness medicine every week when she went home. After going to college, the motion sickness situation has improved a lot because of the frequent bus rides, so she resolutely dislikes it.

The swallow licorice is full of interest, the topic is relaxed, the tone is lively, and it is very comfortable to listen to. Baizhu always had a smile on his face, he was very cooperative with the topic that Yan Licorice said, sometimes a casual sentence made Yan Licorice have a feeling of sudden enlightenment, and it went straight to her heart, she smiled and said that he could be a film and television critic.

The two of them talked and laughed along the way, as if it was the first time that two people had such a pleasant chat. In the past, the swallow licorice was too reserved, so the speech was very reserved, and the communication between the two people naturally could not reach a good situation. Now for the sake of his image, Yan Licorice is still a little selfish, but the thoughts in his heart have changed, and the feeling when getting along has naturally changed.

She looked at the vehicles on the road at the same speed, not slow, and sighed that the current drivers are driving a lot safer, and there used to be frequent collisions on the highway and then affecting the passage of other vehicles, which made her bored waiting on the road. However, she sighed that she was trapped on the road in less than half an hour, she used to know that the car in front of her had crashed, and now she even had a traffic accident in front of her in this traffic jam, because it was a long line, and she couldn't see the front at all.
