Dear Chen Jiu

Chen Jiu opened his eyes almost as soon as I sat down.

So we took the same bus to go to school for more than half the semester, and we didn't have the opportunity to sit next to each other like this.

When Chen Jiu saw it was me, he rarely showed a surprised expression, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Do you want some water?" I handed him the unopened bottle of mineral water I bought at the station supermarket.

"No, thank you."

The passengers on the bus were all closing their eyes to catch up on sleep, maybe I was sitting next to Chen Jiu, and he was a little uncomfortable.

He's been a little awake since I got in the car.

"Go to sleep, I will call you when you arrive at your destination."

Chen Jiu pressed his hat down, turned his face to the car window again, and fell asleep leaning on the chair.

I felt a little dizzy after playing with my mobile phone for a while, and there was an unpleasant smell on the bus. I turned my head and stared at Chen Jiu's side face unscrupulously.

In a daze, they also fell asleep together.

When I woke up again, there was a commotion in the car, and several passengers had already stood up from their seats. I looked out the window and found that I had already arrived at the passenger terminal in Jiangzhou.

This time I slept for more than two hours, and I secretly regretted that I was going to be separated from Chen Jiu soon, why did I just sleep through the time like this.

I looked at Chen Jiu who was next to me again. He should have just woken up, so we looked at each other.

His eyes slowly became clear.

"It's Jiangzhou."

I handed him the water again.

"Ah."

Chen Jiu also made a nasal sound after waking up, and reached out to take the water I gave.

In fact, I quite doubt that Chen Jiu's mind has not returned to his position at this time, otherwise how could he be so obedient?

When the people on the bus began to get off one after another, I stood up and prepared to get off with Chen Jiu.

When I came here, I wanted to send it to Jiangzhou and then I could leave, but when I got there, I couldn't bear it.

Why don't you send it to the training camp before leaving.

We got out of the car and were about to leave the station when Chen Jiu stopped suddenly.

I followed behind without paying attention, and almost ran into it.

"Shall we have lunch together?" I said first, "I'm hungry."

It's already twelve o'clock at noon, and I actually don't have any appetite, and even now I feel motion sickness and want to vomit when I go back by car after eating.

But I can guess what Chen Jiu wants to say, this excuse is the best way to stop him.

Sure enough, Chen Jiu didn't speak any more and just kept walking.

In fact, Chen Jiu looks cold on the surface, but he is actually easy to talk to.

Otherwise, don't care about whether I'm hungry or not, or just dump me and let me eat at the station.

After getting along for nearly a year, I already know him well.

Maybe he didn't realize it himself, but he was really soft-hearted.

We took a taxi at the exit, and after getting on the bus, I rushed to sit in the front row, and I could pay the fare in a while.

"Where are you going?" the driver asked us in a local accent.

"Go to Victory Square."

It's a rare visit, Chen Jiu probably doesn't have the heart to go out to find food by himself, he came to Jiangzhou just for training.

When I was in junior high school, I often used the long holidays to travel in the province with Lao Xiao and Houzi, and occasionally went out of the province. We have been to Jiangzhou a few times before, and the driver of Lao Xiao's family was responsible for the pick-up.

In my impression, there are many famous delicacies in the gourmet world on the 5th floor of Victory Plaza.

Today, I ran to Jiangzhou with Chen Jiu on a whim, just for a meal, at most, I should send Chen Jiu to the training place and I should leave.

Chen Jiu was quite silent all the way, but when he arrived at Victory Square, he stopped in front of a stone landmark on the square, on which were written four big characters 'Victory Square' in red italics.

An ordinary stone sign, I feel that there will be such a stone in many squares.

But Chen Jiu stared at it for a long time. After about 10 minutes passed, he continued to walk with me.

He was a little out of shape all the way today. He didn't ask me where to eat or what to eat, but just followed. We went up to the gourmet world on the 5th floor.

"Chen Jiu, do you have any taboos?"

Chen Jiu shook his head.

Thinking about it this way, I really don't know what Chen Jiu likes to eat. When he was at school, he would eat at any window without queuing up, and outside of school, which family would eat less.

He is more afraid of trouble than the taste, so he should find a relatively expensive restaurant, so that there will be relatively fewer people, and even if the dishes are not satisfactory, they will not be unpalatable.

Relying on my research on eating, I saw a Thai restaurant not far away at a glance. The decoration was relatively luxurious, and there was no queue at the door.

"Let's go there to eat."

I hurriedly pushed Chen Jiu's suitcase aside, "There are few people, let's go."

We sat in this Thai restaurant. After all, Jiangzhou is a provincial capital, and the prices are much higher than our hometown, but money has never been in my consideration.

I ordered a large portion of pineapple rice, lemongrass grilled chicken and butter prawns, all of which are popular dishes printed on the front page of the menu.

Anyway, I can't see Chen Jiu's preferences. He really doesn't seem to have anything to eat, or he doesn't have much interest in sitting here to eat, and he goes to the bathroom halfway through the meal.

My mind is no longer on the dinner table, I just want to take the time to look at this person a few more times, and I will go back by car in the afternoon.

Hey, if I knew I should have chosen art, it would be great to come to Jiangzhou with Chen Jiu for training in advance.

When I was about to pay after the meal, the front desk told me that the person at the same table had already settled the bill. I looked at the bill and the meal cost 500 yuan.

The 9 yuan 500 years ago was really nothing to me at the time, but it was not too little to Chen Jiu.

I should have thought about it a long time ago, how could someone like Chen Jiu, who has such a clear calculation with me, agree to invite him to dinner?

I blamed myself in my heart, why did I have to stay for dinner, the money might be Chen Jiu's food expenses for a month.

Hard earned money, one meal away.

I want to give this money to Chen Jiu, "Even if the system is AA, you have to charge half of it anyway."

"Car money."

This person is really, I said, how could this person have no objection when I paid the car fare, and he was waiting for me here together, if he and I figured it out so clearly, then I had two meals at his house.

"What kind of car is so expensive?" I asked him back.

"Oh, Chen Jiu, you actually just want to treat me to dinner, right? Tell me earlier that you are interested in me, that's why you insist on treating me to dinner. If you don't charge the money, you admit that you like me."

Chen Jiu was shocked by how shameless I was, and then pushed the suitcase and walked forward.

"Eh, wait."

Well, I compromised, and I will find a chance to stuff the money into his bag later.

"Which studio are you training in?"

"Gu Zong."

That's right, if I continue this way, Chen Jiu may suspect that I want to live in Jiangzhou.

"I'll take you there and leave.

I can only talk to grandma after watching it. She must be concerned about the environment of her grandson's training camp. "

"Chen Jiu, there aren't many large studios in Jiangzhou, so it won't be troublesome for me to find them."

I can take the same class bus, but can't find which studio you are in?

"Bo Yi."

Chen Jiu turned his head and looked at me helplessly, "The last bus back to Qingjiang is at four o'clock in the afternoon."

Hey, damn it, why did I forget this, I just searched for the shift when I came, but I didn't check the time to go back, and I even made an appointment with Lao Xiao.

But now it's only past 1 o'clock, and it seems that there is no time in time.

"It's still early."

"It will take one and a half hours to get to Boyi from here."

After all, I really don't have time.

"Then, let me take you to the car."

I don't know if it's because we are all in other places, but when I faced Chen Jiu, I seemed to dare to say anything.

I just don't want you to leave, I just want to spend more time with you, I...I just like you.

Anyway, I didn't force you to be with me now.

After going out, I hired a taxi and watched Chen Jiu get into the car. While he was carrying his luggage in the trunk, I stuffed the meal money into the unzippered pocket on the side of his schoolbag.

Then I took the opposite taxi and went to the passenger terminal.

When I got to the bus station to buy a ticket, I asked casually, "What time is the last bus back to Qingjiang?"

The conductor at the window said, "The last bus from Jiangzhou to Qingjiang is at 19:15 in the evening."

Well, Chen Jiu, you are really good enough.
