Chapter 19: The Little Turtle
At this time, He Manman didn't know that the He family would set off storms because of his departure, in her opinion, she was already an adult, and she left a note when she left, and when she returned home, she would call them, so there was nothing to worry about.
But what she didn't expect was that at this time, the bus from the provincial capital to the surrounding counties and cities would be closed so early.
Looking at the blackened sky, He Manman couldn't help but purse his lips, it was impossible to go back to Nian's mother-in-law's house, only to find a hotel first, and then call Nian's mother-in-law to report her safety.
However, in this era, hotels were called guest houses, and to stay in guest houses, they all required a letter of introduction. Of course, He Manman didn't have a letter of introduction, not even an ID card.
Looking at the already dark sky, He Manman sat alone on the bench on the side of the road with her luggage, looking at the street where the flow of people was gradually decreasing, and at this time, she felt that she was out of place with this era.
It's like she's used to a 24-hour hotel, used to the convenient transportation to all parts of the country at any time, and used to the bright lights day and night, which is not available in this era.
Perhaps she has not fully integrated into this era, so that she is now living on the streets.
"Are you asking for food?" Just when He Manman was emptying his head and didn't know what he was thinking, a clear voice sounded.
Looking up, I saw that the man was tall and thin, wearing a white shirt, standing against the street lamp, the light left a halo on his body, and the originally cold face was even more warm against the backdrop of the light.
"Xu Qingzhou?" He Manman was slightly stunned, and then shouted softly.
"It doesn't seem stupid, otherwise there would be another stupid thing in this world." The corners of Xu Qingzhou's mouth curled slightly, but the words he said were a little harsh.
He was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "It's so late, why are you here?" ”
"I'm going for a walk." Xu Qingzhou glanced at He Manman with stupid eyes, and then before He Manman could answer, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Otherwise, like you, run away from home?" ”
"I didn't run away from home." He Manman explained.
"Oh, that's swept away." Xu Qingzhou said with some pity.
"I don't have ......"
"Actually, you don't have to be sad, it's nothing good to stay with those idiots." Before He could explain, he heard Xu Qingzhou on the side say this again.
"Thank you for your concern, I wasn't swept away, I just want to go back to Xinlin." Although Xu Qingzhou's words were not good, He Manman still heard the concern in it, so he said with a smile.
"Huh! Don't be sentimental, I'm just telling the truth. Xu Qingzhou's eyes flashed, and he glanced at He Manman with disdain.
Ah, this? Can it only be said that the logic of geniuses is indeed different from that of ordinary people?
He Man smiled, but Xu Qingzhou glanced at her, then turned around and left to the side.
That's it?
Looking at the figure of Xu Qingzhou leaving, He Manman was slightly stunned.
At this moment, Xu Qingzhou stopped.
"Aren't you leaving?" Xu Qingzhou turned sideways slightly and said coldly.
"Huh?" He Manman looked at Xu Qingzhou's smooth and jade-like chin under the light, and was slightly stunned.
"Aren't you going back to Xinlin? Still not leaving? Xu Qingzhou said, his tone a little impatient.
"There is no bus anymore, and I can't go back today." He was stunned for a moment, but still said like this.
"Bus?" Xu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly, "It seems that you were really infected by He Yang's idiot." ”
Don't take the bus? There is no train to Xinlin in the provincial capital, so is it difficult to walk back?
He Manman complained silently in his heart, and saw Xu Qingzhou walk to a black sedan not far away, and then opened the door.
"So you mean drive back? Wouldn't that be too much of a hassle for you? He Manman didn't want to sleep on the streets, but she and Xu Qingzhou had only just met, and it obviously took several hours to drive from the provincial capital to Xinlin, so she really didn't want to trouble Xu Qingzhou.
"If it's troublesome, then you can walk back." Xu Qingzhou said unceremoniously.
Walk? So why don't she sleep on the streets? He Manman was a little speechless.
"What are you doing slowly? Do you want me to invite you? Xu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows and looked at He Manman, who still didn't move, and his tone was a little impatient.
"Here it is." He Manman dispelled the picture of sleeping on the street in his mind, and hurriedly trotted towards Xu Qingzhou.
I can't help but say that Xu Qingzhou's driving skills are really good, at least better than Xiao Wang, the driver of Nian's mother-in-law's house, even if he drove on an uneven country road, there were not too many bumps.
Because He Manman and Xu Qingzhou are not familiar with each other, the two don't have much to say, so He Manman is a little groggy.
However, just as He Manman was about to fall asleep, a disgusted voice suddenly sounded, "Wipe your saliva, don't stain my car seat." ”
When He Manman heard this, he was full of excitement, and subconsciously touched the corner of his mouth, but he didn't find any saliva.
"Tsk, I thought you were quite smart, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid."
was shattered, and heard Xu Qingzhou's bad speech, even though this person was kind to her, she couldn't help but reply: "I'm just an ordinary person, and I'm not as smart as your genius!" ”
"It's good to know." When Xu Qingzhou heard this, he was not angry, but nodded carelessly.
Seeing this, He Manman was a little speechless, she didn't expect Xu Qingzhou to be quite narcissistic.
"Hey, who's that, why don't you speak?" In the darkness, Xu Qingzhou could be vaguely seen frowning.
"My name is He Manman." He Manman introduced himself.
"Oh, slowly, it's quite slow." Xu Qingzhou said matter-of-factly.
"It's not that slow, it's the long way to go. He Manman gritted his teeth and said.
"Is there a difference? Can you make it faster? ”
So are you illiterate? Of course there is a difference! Listening to Xu Qingzhou's indifferent tone, He Manman finally understood why He Yang gritted his teeth many times when he mentioned Xu Qingzhou, because this thing is really annoying!
"Why don't you speak?" Xu Qingzhou's tone was a little puzzled.
"Say what?" He Manman asked with some annoyance.
"What an ungrateful little turtle! You sent you all the way back, shouldn't you say thank you? Xu Qingzhou said, the tone was very bad.
