Chapter 36: Let go
The matter of the lottery was brought forward by the curator, Shen Yanzhi did not leave the door of the hotel in the evening, and when the curator Zhang went out to draw lots, he took a bath for himself, lay on the bed and began to sleep.
Curator Zhang was excited after coming back from the lottery, and shouted loudly when he entered the door: "Shen Yanzhi, tell you, I won the lottery..."
When he entered the door and found Shen Yanzhi who was sleeping soundly, Director Zhang immediately closed his mouth and withdrew his voice.
He looked at the person on the bed and thought: You kid is really lucky!
Director Zhang, who had already made up for an afternoon's sleep, and the excitement of just finishing the lottery, was not sleepy at all now, touched his stomach, and planned to go out to forage for food by himself.
After Lan Jiali woke up, she remembered the task assigned to her by Shen Yanzhi, and she had to go out to see what fun and delicious food there was, but fortunately she checked the strategy a little before she came, otherwise she would really be like a headless fly.
"Do you have any plans for later? Want to hang out with your aunt? Lan Jiali asked Cai Jingmin, who had also just woken up, in a soft tone.
"Okay, Auntie, you wait for me a moment, I'll go change my clothes." Cai Jingmin thought that there was nothing to do in the evening, and she hadn't visited the city much when she came to participate in the competition last year, so she could go out and walk around now when she had time, and she could also take a look at what specialties she brought to her home by the way.
Saying that, Cai Jingmin lifted the quilt, immediately got out of bed, and looked for the clothes she wanted to wear from the suitcase.
"Don't worry, I'll go over and see Yanyan first." Lan Jiali patted Cai Jingmin's shoulder and told the child not to worry.
"Okay." Although Cai Jingmin replied like this, she still hurriedly cleaned herself up, she didn't want her elders to wait for her for too long.
Lan Jiali originally wanted to knock on the door next door, but she didn't think about it, and Director Zhang was just about to come out.
"Yo, this is unfortunate, come to Shen Yanzhi? I'm asleep, why don't you come later? Director Zhang spoke softly to Lan Jiali.
"Okay, I'll leave him a note to say, lest he wake up and can't find us." Lan Jiali said and went back to her room, wrote a note and put it at the head of Shen Yanzhi's bed.
After all, Lan Jiali overestimated it, and Shen Yanzhi slept until she came back from shopping, and the note didn't play a role at all.
The 'angry' Lan Jiali crumpled the note and threw it into the trash, otherwise when Shen Yanzhi woke up, she would definitely laugh at her for being so 'primitive'.
"Let's go out for a walk?" Director Zhang saw that Lan Jiali was also going out, so he sent out an invitation.
"Okay, I'll go back to the house and call Cai Jingmin, this kid." After Lan Jiali finished speaking, she turned around and entered the room.
Cai Jingmin just put on her shoes, and the three of them walked together on the street.
"Director Zhang, you have brought students to the competition so many times, what delicious restaurants can you recommend?" Lan Jiali felt that the atmosphere was too embarrassing, so she took the initiative to acquiesce.
"Let me tell you, there are a lot of delicious things in the 'snack alley' here, and there are also the ones that do handicrafts alone, just a small embroidery bag, you can buy it back as a gift. Speaking of delicious food, I remember that there is a good shop not far from here, why don't you go together? "Speaking of delicious curator Zhang, it's hard to get started.
Don't ask Director Zhang how he knows, that is, he also went to the 'snack alley' to buy a lot of embroidery tips and gave them to his wife, and he liked it.
"Okay, it's the first time I've come to this city, so I'll eat with Director Zhang today." Lan Jiali should be in harmony.
Of course, Cai Jingmin has no opinion.
The restaurant recommended by Director Zhang specializes in local specialties, and there are many people who come to eat, and the three of them queued for a while before it was their turn.
"That's really good!" Lan Jiali said and gave a thumbs up to Director Zhang.
Every time Director Zhang brings students here to participate in the competition, it is good to come here to eat a bite after a tiring day, which is particularly satisfying.
After Lan Jiali finished eating, she didn't forget to pack a copy for Shen Yanzhi.
On the way back after eating, Cai Jingmin had been a little absent-minded, and she inadvertently asked Lan Jiali when Director Zhang went to buy cigarettes: "Auntie, is it your daughter who called you this morning?" ”
"That's right, my goddaughter, who grew up with Yanyan, can be regarded as my own daughter." Lan Jiali didn't wonder why Cai Jingmin asked, but she still answered her truthfully.
"Is it called Yuri?" Cai Jingmin asked.
"How do you know? My pear is as cute as the name, and her personality is very cute, you will definitely like it when you see it. When it comes to her goddaughter, the smile on Lan Jiali's face is different.
Cai Jingmin now knows that her "first love" is gone, strictly speaking, it is just her one-sided lovesickness.
She hadn't even expressed her heart to Shen Yanzhi, but when she thought of seeing You Li's immature and lovely face before, she didn't want to grab it and couldn't grab it.
In particular, the interaction between the two in the taekwondo gym proves that no one can cross between the two of them, because their interaction is so natural. The good doesn't want anyone to break.
"I've seen Yuri once before, and it's really cute." Cai Jingmin finished thinking and opened her mouth to answer Lan Jiali's question before.
Just when the two didn't know what topic to continue to talk about, Director Zhang bought something and came out to break the silence.
"Let's go, where do you two want to go? If you don't go, let's go back to the hotel? Director Zhang asked in a slightly inquiring tone.
"You two go back first, I'll go shopping, by the way, help me bring food to Yanyan." Lan Jiali didn't want to go back to the hotel just like this for the time being, she wanted to eat and go shopping, so she stretched out her arm and handed the food in her hand to Director Zhang.
Cai Jingmin wanted to go back to rest, so she followed Director Zhang back to the hotel.
Just when she wanted to insert the room card and go in, Director Zhang said: "Wait a while, you come to our side first, take advantage of this time, I will tell you the results of the lottery in the afternoon." ”
Cai Jingmin thought about it, so she naturally put the room card into her clothes pocket and followed Director Zhang in.
Shen Yanzhi didn't know if he was too tired or what, but he hadn't woken up yet, so Director Zhang asked Cai Jingmin to sit casually in the room, and the movements were light.
The two of them didn't disturb Shen Yanzhi's sleep, but just nestled on the sofa to the side and watched silent TV.
"Why don't I go back first? When will he wake up, you will go over and knock on the door and call me. Cai Jingmin yawned, and saw that Shen Yanzhi, who was lying on the bed with the quilt bulging, showed no sign of waking up, so he opened his mouth and said to Director Zhang.
Director Zhang also glanced at the bulge on the bed with his eyes, and said helplessly: "It's only like this, you go back first." ”
He looked at Shen Yan, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and thought: How can this kid sleep so much today? Sighing, he shook his head helplessly, sat down on the edge of his bed, and continued to watch silent TV.
Lan Jiali walked along the side of the street, the evening breeze blew the branches of the big trees by the river that had to bend down due to their weight, she took a deep breath, and felt that all the turbidity that had accumulated in her heart was 'spit out'.
She also went to the 'snack alley' in Director Zhang's mouth, holding a bowl of stinky tofu in her hand to chew on the fragrance of the bar, Lan Jiali also saw the small vendor selling embroidery tips, stepped forward to choose for a while, and finally picked a 'pink kitten peace charm' for You Li, and Shen Yanzhi was blue.
Lan Jiali saw that the time was not early, so she went back to the hotel and found Cai Jingmin sitting on the TV on the small sofa with an apple in her mouth.
"Has Yan Yan eaten?" Lan Jiali asked Cai Jingmin out loud.
"I don't know, I didn't wake up when I first came back, I don't know if I woke up at this time." Cai Jingmin told her what she knew.
Lan Jiali heard that she might not have woken up yet, how could this work, so she immediately ran to the next door and knocked on the door, and Director Zhang saw that she was back, so he opened the door and let her in.
"What about words?" Lan Jiali asked as she entered the room.
"I'm asleep." Director Zhang didn't mention how aggrieved he was, he thought that the child could wake up early, but he didn't expect that he was still sleepy, and he just fell asleep.
Seeing that the time is not early, if Shen Yanzhi does not wake up again, it will be difficult to adjust the time back, plus the competition, it is one thing to have no energy, and the physical fitness may not be able to keep up.
"Yanyan, get up." Lan Jiali thought about it and woke up Shen Yanzhi, who was sleeping soundly,
Shen Yanzhi just snorted lightly twice, and was dragged up by Lan Jiali.
Director Zhang's eyelids were sudden, and it really worked for his mother, if he didn't dare to go up and wake up Shen Yanzhi.
"Hurry up and wash up, if you don't wake up again, you can't sleep at night, what if you can't play when the time comes?" Lan Jiali lifted the quilt and asked Shen Yanzhi to hurry up and wash her face.
Shen Yanzhi didn't expect that he could sleep so deeply, and when he woke up, it was almost nine o'clock, he only knew that he slept very comfortably this night, and he didn't even dream.
Director Zhang saw that Shen Yanzhi was awake, so he went to the next door to knock on the door and called Cai Jingmin, who was watching TV, over to discuss the next game.
Lan Jiali didn't listen much, gave Shen Yanzhi a hot meal, and saw that he had already started to eat, so she went back to her room first.
"Let me first talk about the results of my lottery this afternoon, Shen Yanzhi did not face Jiang Bian Cheng." Suddenly, Shen Yanzhi was secretly relieved when he heard Director Zhang's words.
"However, Cai Jingmin is a newcomer, and we don't know what the strength is, so we can only be more careful when we play." Curator Zhang sighed.
He didn't know whether to be happy or worried now, the joy was that the person Shen Yanzhi was fighting against would definitely be able to advance at his level, and he didn't even have to go all out, but he was worried that Cai Jingmin's opponent was unknown, and he was afraid that when the time came...
"Okay, what do you want to do so much, just do your best every time you play." Shen Yanzhi stared at Cai Jingmin's eyes and said, as if he was cheering her on.
"Yes, the unknown is scary but also amazing, what if I can still hone and improve in this competition." Cai Jingmin also thought about it and said.
When Director Zhang saw the two children thinking like this, he lost the uneasiness in his heart before, "Of course it's good that you can do this, let's take one step at a time, Jingmin will go back and rest first, you will go first tomorrow afternoon, in other words, it will be the afternoon after tomorrow." ”
"Okay." Cai Jingmin stood up and breathed a sigh of relief, then greeted Director Zhang and went back to his room.
After Shen Yanzhi had eaten a full meal, as if he remembered something, he borrowed Director Zhang's mobile phone to call Xu Jiang.
