Chapter 23: Borrow from me for one night
Jiang Qishu went to the front desk to receive the number, and was reminded that he needed to wait for more than a dozen tables.
He found an empty seat outside the store and sat down, looked at Liang Chan, who was two meters away from the pestle with an unhappy face, and warmly invited her: "Come and sit, aren't you tired of standing?" β
Liang Chan was indifferent, and said coldly: "You can eat it yourself, I'll go back to school." β
Jiang Qishu raised the number slip in his hand, and the lie came as soon as he opened his mouth: "I ordered a set meal for two, and if you don't eat it, it will be wasted." β
Liang Chan wanted to say that he could pack it and take it back to his friends to eat, but when he saw Jiang Qishu get up and walk towards her, he grabbed her wrist and couldn't help but bring it to the table: "Classmate Liang Chan, why are you so awkward, it's just a meal." β
Liang Cicada was pressed on the chair like a puppet, Jiang Qishu didn't know what he thought, and stood up again as soon as his butt hit the chair: "You wait first." β
He entered a small shop not far away, and when he came out, he had a bowl of something in his hand, and walked over and put it in front of her.
"This is a mochi with brown sugar taro." Jiang Qishu introduced her.
Liang Chan stared, knowing that this was a brown sugar taro mashed mochi, the question was why did he buy this for her?
"Aren't you hypoglycemic?" Jiang Qishu raised his chin lightly, and the smooth neck line straightened, "Eat something sweet, so as not to faint after waiting too long." β
Liang Chan wanted to find out similar ridicule emotions from his face, but he didn't find it, he was serious.
"It's not that easy to get dizzy." She explained in a whisper.
She somehow gave him the illusion that she was muddy and papier-mΓ’chΓ©, and she fainted at every turn.
Jiang Qishu shook his shoulders and laughed: "Got it." Eat it quickly, I don't know if it's delicious or not, I added double servings of brown sugar, and it is estimated that it is quite good. β
Liang Cicada tasted it, but it was okay, it was not very sweet and greasy, it was acceptable to her.
Jiang Qishu was bored leaning on the back of the chair to play with her mobile phone, sometimes glancing at the girl opposite, she always looked preoccupied when she lowered her head, like a sponge soaked in water, heavy.
"You're playing alone in a bar?" The quiet atmosphere lasted for a short time, Jiang Qishu put down his mobile phone and found a topic to talk to her, not wanting to see her silent and cold appearance.
"Part-time." She sent him away with just three words.
Jiang Qishu was surprised by her honesty, was silent, and had to remind her for safety reasons: "Do you have a companion?" The bar is a crowded place, and it may not be safe for you to work part-time as a girl at night. β
Liang Chan didn't say anything, Jiang Qishu immediately realized that there was ambiguity in his words, and made up for it one after another: "No, no, I'm not saying that this part-time job is not good, I'm worried about your safety." β
His eyes were clear, and Liang Chan believed that he had no intention of discriminating.
"There's a sister I know." Liang Chan said simply.
Jiang Qishu scratched the back of his head, "oh", and stopped continuing the topic of easy thunder: "I don't know which major you are." β
Liang Chan looked at him and stopped talking.
"If you don't fight, you don't know each other, no matter how you say it, we're friends." Jiang Qishu picked up the mobile phone on the table again and turned on the screen, "I don't have your contact information yet, let's add WeChat." β
Liang Chan endured and endured, and said, "You are very ......"
You're very self-cooked. That's what she wanted to say. Think about it or forget it.
"What?" Jiang Qishu raised his eyebrows, "What do you want to say I am?" β
Liang Chan shook his head, just in time to call their turn, the two moved from the outside to the indoor meal, Jiang Qishu handed her the tablet handed by the waiter: "Order what you want to eat." β
Liang Chan: "Didn't you say that you have already booked a package for two?" β
Jiang Qishu became honest at this time: "I lied to you." β
Liang Chan: "......"
At this point, she no longer pushed back and forth with him as if she was in a tug-of-war, took the tablet and ordered two dishes of her favorite food. Jiang Qishu raised his lips and added another signature dish, a light spinach egg soup.
The width of the long dining table was sixty centimeters, and Liang Chan could see that he had a tiger tooth, which was not so obvious, only a little curvature than the normal tooth.
I don't know if her gaze is too direct, or Jiang Qishu is too sensitive, he noticed it, and pointed to his tiger tooth to tell the story: "This tooth is very stubborn, I have been wearing braces for more than a year in junior high school and have not been able to break it back to the right path." β
Liang Chan realized that it was rude for him to stare at other people's teeth, and lowered his eyes to study the patterns on the tablecloth.
Jiang Qishu said to himself: "It is also possible that the doctor's skills are not good. β
Liang Chan was poked at the point of laughter and laughed imperceptibly.
"You're smiling?" Jiang Qishu lowered his neck and tilted his head to look at her.
The corners of Liang Chan's raised mouth were pursed into a straight line for a moment, as if to tell him that he was wrong and that she was not smiling.
*
The sky was not beautiful, and as soon as the meal was finished, a drizzle fell in the sky.
The autumn rain that was supposed to fall yesterday was postponed to today, Liang Chan raised her bag above her head, and was about to rush to the bus stop, Jiang Qishu crossed her arm to stop her: "Take a taxi." β
Liang Chan looked at him, he beckoned to stop a taxi coming by, and opened the door in the back seat for her.
"What are you doing, my clothes are wet." Jiang Qishu gently pushed her shoulder, which meant urging.
Liang Chan had no choice but to sit in the car, Jiang Qishu then bowed down to get into the car, closed the door, slapped off the rain on the baseball jersey jacket, and said to the driver: "Go to Yida." β
The driver took a picture of the empty license plate, started the car, and it rained heavily halfway through, and the traffic began to jam.
Liang Cian looked at her phone frequently in a hurry, worried about missing the curfew time, on the other hand, Jiang Qishu took out the wireless earphones and stuffed them into her ears without hurrying, and when she saw her, he intimately handed her one: "Do you want to listen to the song?" β
"Aren't you afraid of being shut out?" Liang Chan couldn't help but ask.
Jiang Qishu shrugged his shoulders and smiled without saying a word.
Liang Chan said that the more he got to the road to the school, the more blocked he became. If it weren't for the pouring rain outside, she would have wanted to jump out of the car and run back.
When the driver parked the car at the gate of Yida University, the gate was locked, and there was no light in the guard room.
Liang Chan stood outside the fence gate, helplessly looking at the campus in the heavy rain, and a few street lamps emitted a lonely glimmer under the dark night.
A gust of wind blew, and she was so cold that she craned her neck. An autumn rain and a cold, yesterday the temperature was close to 30 degrees, and today it dropped to more than 10 degrees.
Jiang Qishu took off his baseball jersey and draped it over her shoulders: "I'll call someone." β
She looked at his crisp figure wearing only a sweatshirt, and chased forward to return the clothes to him, only to see him with one hand on his waist and the other hand on the security window of the guard's room: "Uncle, open the door." β
There was no response.
Jiang Qishu looked back at her embarrassedly: "Maybe the rain is too heavy to hear." β
Liang Chan heard him raise his voice and shouted twice, and after waiting for a while, no one came to open the door.
Jiang Qishu walked back to her and said unhurriedly: "Don't hide it, my mother bought me a house near the school, or ...... You're going to go to my place for one night? β
Liang Chan was stunned.
It turned out that he didn't feel a little anxious along the way, because he had already had a place to go, and he didn't have to worry about sleeping on the streets.
Liang Chan ripped off his clothes and stuffed it to him, inexplicably angry: "No need, thank you." β
