Chapter 9: Chance Encounters
It was more than eleven o'clock in the evening before getting off work, and Hu Yaru sorted out the account books and documents before coming out of the office with her small bag.
The office of the finance department is in the easternmost part of the factory, and it takes her more than 20 minutes to walk back to the bachelor dormitory. Although the road was flat, there was a section of the street that was dimly lit and no one had repaired it.
Fortunately, it was summer, and there were scattered people walking on the road, but there were always people. She walked slowly forward under the dim streetlight, and she watched her shadow come to her face for a while, and hide behind herself for a while. She walked forward like a child. I amused myself, and I laughed out loud alone.
At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind her and startled her, "What are you laughing at?" ”
Hu Yaru hadn't worn high heels for a long time, and the sound behind her scared her into the air.
"Oops", Hu Yaru fell straight to the ground. This was accompanied by the sound of the bicycle falling to the ground behind him.
"It's okay!" The voice deity appeared in front of her, and it was Jiang Xuefeng again, and he was still wearing the sportswear he saw last time.
He half-crouched down, his hand reaching over to look at her ankle. Hu Yaru hurriedly covered it with her hand, "It's okay, it's okay, it's really okay." ”
Jiang Xuefeng frowned again, it could be seen from his expression that he was very self-blaming, and his hand was still on the ankle, but because Hu Yaru's own hand was in the way, he was a little overwhelmed.
Hu Yaru saw that he was overwhelmed and felt funny, and she tried to stand up. It's really not that serious, it hurt a little at the time, but now it doesn't seem to hurt that much.
"Look, it's really fine." She took two steps, and it hurt slightly, and she guessed that it might just be a little sprained tendon, not too serious.
Seeing that she was fine, Jiang Xuefeng's expression softened.
"You're walking in high heels so late?" Jiang Xuefeng glanced at her red high heels.
"I've just gotten off work." Hu Yaru looked at her high heels, and felt a little strange in her heart, who would come out in high heels so late.
Jiang Xuefeng trotted over to straighten his bicycle and pushed it over, he patted the back seat, "Come on, I'll take you back on a bicycle." ”
Hu Yaru was a little embarrassed, "That's not good." My sister-in-law would have misunderstood if you drove me back so late. I'm really fine, it's not far, I'll just walk back by myself. She said she was about to go back.
"Why are you so choked, let you sit down. Where do you come from so many words, your sister-in-law is not a vinegar vat. Jiang Xuefeng's words were a little anxious.
Hu Yaru felt funny when she heard it, and she actually laughed out loud with a "poof".
"What are you laughing at, hurry up, sit down, I'm still in a hurry to go home! It's not good for us to pull and pull here on the big night! Jiang Xuefeng said and pushed the bicycle in front of her, urging: "Hurry up!" ”
Hu Yaru put away her smile and sat on the back seat of his bicycle embarrassedly.
Jiang Xuefeng rode the bicycle slowly, Hu Yaru held the spring under the seat of the money car in one hand, and the steel frame in the back seat with the other.
"I've known you for so long and haven't asked you what your name is?"
"Hu Yaru"
"Oh, you don't look very old."
"Well, it's not big, it's 23."
"But doing things is too old-fashioned, the country has been reforming and opening up for more than ten years, why are you still so conservative."
Hu Yaru was speechless for a while, "It is still necessary to avoid suspicion." ”
Jiang Xuefeng didn't reply again, and when he went downstairs, Jiang Xuefeng wanted to send her to the door of the house, but she decisively refused.
At such a late hour, a married woman sent her back to the dormitory, and anyone would have too much suspicion. Although she felt that Jiang Xuefeng would not have any evil thoughts about her, it was difficult for everyone to stop.
Jiang Xuefeng is also very knowledgeable about current affairs, so he didn't say anything more.
Jiang Xuefeng, who returned to the yard, saw that the sheets that Hu Yaru had washed and dried in his yard last time were still fluttering in the wind, and he chased him out in a few steps, but Hu Yaru was no longer visible.
He thought it was funny, every time he met this girl, she was different, the only constant was a sense of alienation. She feels like she's coming out with a layer of frosted glass, always keeping a safe distance from people.
