Dear Chen Jiu

As soon as I opened the door in the morning, I glanced guiltily at the couch, where the blankets were neatly folded.

The pair of shoes worn by Chen Jiuchang at the door were also missing. This person went out early in the morning?

When I brushed my teeth and washed my face, I seemed to hear the sound of the door lock turning. When I came out, I saw soy milk and fried dough sticks on the dining table. Chen Jiu took two pairs of chopsticks from the kitchen.

"Did you go out to buy breakfast?" I had nothing to say.

"Well, I bought it on the way."

Chen Jiu's face didn't look strange at all, maybe he was really drunk yesterday.

I saw that I also bought my share, so I sat down and ate together very consciously.

I opened the soy milk and took a sip, then reached for the deep-fried dough sticks in the bag.

I really didn't mean it, but I grabbed Chen Jiuzheng's hand that was about to take the fried dough sticks with dazed eyes, and his fingertips were slightly cold.

My mind 'popped' and remembered what happened on the sofa last night, and that gasp...

My ears turned red quickly, and I immediately retracted my hand.

Who would have believed that yesterday I was so ignorant that I wanted to help someone masturbate while taking advantage of others' dangers, but today in broad daylight I don't even dare to grab a hand.

I saw that Chen Jiu still looked calm. He put the deep-fried dough stick in his hand in front of me, and took another one from the bag.

I don't know if I'm a guilty conscience, but I always feel that the way Chen Jiu looks at me is a bit indescribable.

"eat more."

He said.

"..."

This was probably the worst breakfast I've ever had.

"Uh, do you have anything else to do today?" I have been in Jiangzhou for so long and I haven't played with Chen Jiu yet.

"how?"

"Didn't I just come to Jiangzhou? If you have time during the holidays, let's go out and play together."

Chen Jiu took a sip of soy milk, "Okay."

Unexpectedly, he readily agreed to me. I felt like I was floating in the sky, and I had the illusion that we really did something yesterday, so we were going on a date today.

When I went back to my room and changed my clothes, Lao Xiao sent me a travel guide in Jiangzhou on WeChat. My mood was so good that everything was going in a good direction.

I took out the perfume I brought from the suitcase and sprayed it on my body. This is the perfume that I found someone to send back from abroad. It smells closest to Chen Jiu's body. It has a refreshing vetiver scent and a scent of soap.

I sprayed some on my coat.

I opened the door and met Chen Jiu who came out of the bedroom. Our eyes collided through the air, and something changed in the air. I touched my nose. It felt really weird.

"Let's go, it's rare that you don't have work today."

"Ah."

"Have you been to Xijiao Park?"

"I've been there."

"Go alone?"

"School organization."

We chatted all the way to the bus station, saying that I was basically the only one talking, and Chen Jiu just answered without saying a word, but this feeling was very good, and the air seemed to become extraordinarily sweet.

I followed the strategy to find the corresponding bus at the platform. The park is very remote so there are not many buses.

The last one departs in 10 minutes.

I looked down at the time on the phone, and suddenly, Chen Jiu's phone rang.

I figured it might be a call from some client, but Chen Jiu hesitated for a moment after seeing the calling number, and swiped his hand twice on the screen before connecting.

Not knowing what was said on the other end of the phone, Chen Jiu just answered 'yes' twice.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Jiu stood there, but I could feel the change in his mood.

"What's wrong?" After hesitating again and again, I still asked.

"fine."

He put the phone back in his pocket, and took out the cigarette case, just in time, a few girls came by, so he had to put the cigarette back.

I pulled Chen Jiu aside and stayed away from the crowd. I was not in Jiangzhou before, so I couldn't help him with any problems, but now I am here.

"busy."

I looked him straight in the eyes and said it bluntly.

Chen Jiu's eyes were a little confused for the first time, but he soon regained his clarity.

"You have to go alone."

He said.

"It's okay, next time.

If you don't go, I certainly won't go either. "

"Then you go back first."

After Chen Jiu finished speaking, he looked down at the phone screen, "I still have something to do."

"Okay, you can call me if you need anything."

I didn't bother too much, turned around and left after saying this sentence.

Since he doesn't want to talk, then I... can only follow secretly.

I pretended to go to a small supermarket nearby first, and when I saw Chen Jiu getting into a taxi on the side of the road, I immediately chased after him and hired a car to follow.

"Master, follow the car in front."

The driver looked over my shoulder to make sure I didn't look like the bad guy who started the car.

"Master, keep it secret, don't be discovered, and don't follow too closely."

"Boy, can I ask? Why are you chasing the car in front?" The driver probably only saw this kind of plot in TV dramas, so he was a little cautious.

"My brother is in the car. I'm afraid he will be tricked into doing pyramid schemes."

"Hey, that can't be helped, I just looked very handsome just now."

"Yeah, just catch good-looking people to cheat."

We followed all the way and saw the car carrying Chen Jiu parked in front of a coffee shop.

"Master, you park the car here, and I will get off here."

There is a big tree next to it that can cover me.

I hid behind the tree, Chen Jiu glanced at the phone and went straight into the shop, I searched the name of this coffee shop with the phone, it is quite famous in Jiangzhou, and it is also very private.

Every private seat in the lobby is in the shape of a birdcage, and the cage is covered with green plants. There is a partition between the two rows of birdcages, so I should not be found when I go in.

As soon as I entered the store, a waiter greeted me and said softly, "Hi, welcome. Are you alone or do you have other friends?"

I roughly looked around, it was noon, there was no one in the coffee shop, a waiter brought two cups of coffee and walked to the innermost place, probably Chen Jiu was sitting at that table.

"Just me, I'll sit at that table."

I pointed to the birdcage next to Chen Jiu's partition.

"Uh, okay.

But someone at the next table may disturb you, do you need a quieter place? "

"No, thank you."

"Okay, please take a seat with me."

"I want four cups of latte, just serve them all at once later."

"Ok."

I sat down a little nervously, and the waiter kindly helped me close the door of the birdcage. The birdcage was covered with real and fake green plants, and my sight was completely blocked.

I don't know who invited Chen Jiu to meet in such a secret place, it was like a tryst.

I sat next door and didn't even dare to breathe loudly, and I was afraid that the waiter would be suspicious, so I took out my mobile phone and downloaded a novel called "Rebirth: My 10 Wives".

That's it, I flipped through it without distraction.

There was no sound from the next table for a long time. I stared at the phone curiously and cautiously, and my mind completely flew to the next door.

The waiter thought that I was too obsessed with reading novels, so he carefully put the coffee on the table for me, then said softly "Please take it slowly" and left.

"Mr. Mo, good afternoon."

It was Chen Jiu's voice, and I immediately pricked up my ears.

Teacher Mo?It turned out that the person who made an appointment to meet was a teacher. I took a sip of coffee and felt a little relieved.

"Chen Yushu," said a slightly cold female voice.

"You were supposed to be called that.

I transferred your file this time to apply for the competition... I really didn't expect to recognize you under such circumstances. "

The woman seemed to be apologetic in her words, and she paused at this point, "How is your dad doing now?"

I suddenly remembered the 30-year-old woman that Lao Xiao and Lu Yuan had mentioned to me.

"He passed away."

Chen Jiu's voice sounded very calm.

"Then it must have been difficult for you these years."

There seemed to be silence on the other side. After a while, the woman said: "There is some money in this card, you can use it. I have not fulfilled my responsibility as a mother. This is also my compensation for you."

"I do not need."

"Chen Jiu, no matter what, I'm still your teacher.

You take the money, and I feel at ease.

Besides, I'm ready to resign. "

"Where are you going?" Chen Jiu asked.

"Chen Jiu," there was a long silence after this sentence, so long that I thought I might be deaf, and then I heard the other side continue to say, "I already have a new life."

"Okay, I see."

After Chen Jiu finished speaking, the atmosphere between the two was completely silent.

It turns out that this woman is Chen Jiu's mother, so is this why he insists on taking the exam in Jiangzhou?Combining the descriptions from Lao Xiao and Lu Yuan's mouths, everything seems to make sense.

So Chen Jiu would be nervous when she received her call, but this woman said just now that she knew that Chen Jiu was Chen Yushu because of the file transfer...
