Xue Chuchu played games at Tongtong's house until 11 o'clock in the evening, then opened the door and left.
Jiang Ning checked Chu Chu's game history, and it was horrible. They were all 1-5, 1-6. What was outrageous was that, with such a miserable situation, they were all consecutive wins.
All credit, of course, goes to Tongtong, who is invincible and invincible.
Tongtong sat on the throne with a serious face and continued to fight alone.
Jiang Ning stood up and walked next to her. Tongtong was playing a game and seemed to notice a strange aura. She turned back and glared at Jiang Ning with alert eyes: "What are you doing?"
Jiang Ning raised half of his hand and lowered it slowly. After all, he was not a villain who bullied the weak.
"Do you want to eat grapefruit?" Jiang Ning asked.
"eat!"
Jiang Ning fed her a piece of grapefruit and turned back. The screen of her mobile phone on the sofa lit up. It was a message from Chu Chu.
Jiang Ning pondered: 'Send me a message behind Tongtong's back?'
He looked at the screen and saw a line of words: "Jiang Ning, thank you for your shoes, I like them very much (smile) (smile)."
Jiang Ning has a good aesthetic sense, and the shoes she chose are classic models, pink and white sneakers, which are very versatile, and the texture and appearance are really good.
Jiang Ning looked at Chu Chu's death smile expression and was slightly speechless. Sometimes this expression was quite scary.
Facing Chu Chu's thanks, Jiang Ning took off her disguise and said, "Last time you and Tongtong went shopping on Taobao and saw this pair of shoes. You were quite satisfied with them, so I bought them specially for you."
The text he sent was very plain, but when Chu Chu in the next bedroom saw it, she felt uneasy.
She was sitting on the edge of the bed, her little white feet submerged in the hot water basin, gently stirring the water, causing delicate ripples, just like her mood at the moment.
Before going to bed in winter, soak your feet in hot water to keep them warmer. Xue Chuchu always does this every night.
"Thank you." Xue Chuchu pursed her lips and raised the corners of her beautiful lips.
In the past, no one except her mother bought her gifts. In recent years, every time her mother took her to buy clothes, she always refused, just because she was afraid of wasting money.
But, what girl doesn’t like beautiful clothes?
Xue Chuchu doesn't just ask for things. She has eaten a lot of snacks, fruits, and even barbecues from Jiang Ning on weekdays. She doesn't want to owe Jiang Ning too much.
Xue Chuchu responded: "I bought you a remote-controlled boat from Taobao. It can arrive in the past two days. I should still be in the village at that time, so you need to pick up the express yourself (smile) (smile)."
After Jiang Ning saw the news, she was stunned for a moment, right? Are there any girls who would give away remote-controlled boats?
This is so... fun... who doesn't like remote control boats?
"Why would you want to send a remote control boat?" Jiang Ning asked.
Xue Chuchu pointed out: "Your 'sea, land and air' are only missing ships."
Jiang Ning suddenly realized that he had a remote control plane and a remote control car, but he really lacked a boat to launch the boat.
Jiang Ning's consciousness spread and extended to Chu Chu's small bedroom, where she was smiling slightly.
‘I’m so happy.’ Jiang Ning thought.
She is completely different from Tongtong. She always seems to want to be an independent girl and distance herself from herself.
It's time for her to see the power of an immortal cultivator!
Jiang Ning thought for a while and decided to push further: "I like it very much. You are good at choosing gifts."
"It's just... Although the remote control boat is good, the water is frozen now, so we probably won't be able to play with it for the time being."
Xue Chuchu seemed to see Jiang Ning's regret through the text. At this moment, her feet that had just been warmed seemed to be colder. What should I do if she gave the wrong gift?
Jiang Ning immediately comforted: "But it doesn't matter. I know something called an inflatable pool, which can be placed at home. If you have this, you can play with a remote control boat anytime and anywhere."
Xue Chuchu looked at Jiang Ning's words and recalled all the past experiences. He was always so gentle, and his whole body contained tranquility, which made people feel at ease.
After giving so many times, it seemed that she never thought about asking her to give anything in return.
Because of this, Xue Chuchu wanted to repay him.
Xue Chuchu, who was cold and cold, felt an inexplicable heat in her heart. She responded: "I don't know what kind of inflatable pool it is..."
The next second, Xue Chuchu transferred 220 yuan to Jiang Ning.
"I don't know if this money is enough. I have 80 yuan left, which I will use as my travel expenses home. You can try to buy an inflatable pool with this money (smile)."
After sending a message, Xue Chuchu was stunned. She stared at the message in disbelief.
Just now, an indescribable impulse suddenly overflowed in her heart. It was guilt and repayment. The power of various emotions intertwined together made her want to do something for Jiang Ning, so she did this.
'I...' Xue Chuchu's face was slightly red, and her white and delicate feet were twisting and twisting in the basin, as if they were competing.
Jiang Ning didn't expect that he would receive this kind of news, and he felt inexplicably warm.
‘Is she Chu Chu?’ If Jiang Ning hadn’t used her spiritual consciousness to check again and again, Jiang Ning would have almost thought she had mistakenly recognized the person.
interesting…
'What a pity, you are so generous, doesn't it seem like I am forcing you?'
Jiang Ning is not a person who wants to repay favors.
The next second, Jiang Ning curled up her lips and typed a reply: "It costs 10 yuan to take a bus from the city to Xinhong County, 6 yuan to take a bus from Xinhong County to Humiao Town, and the round trip fare is 32 yuan in total. How about this?
Also transfer the remaining 48 yuan to me."
The blush on Xue Chuchu's face quickly faded, and her feet became cold again. She was confused: "Ah, you?"
…
February 9th, early morning.
The sky has not completely broken away from the shackles of night, there is only a hazy light, the gentle transition between morning light and night.
A row of bungalows is built in a field, the roofs are covered with a thin layer of white frost, and the cold air is raging.
In the cozy bedroom, Tongtong huddled under the warm quilt, sleeping comfortably without caring about the world.
Jiang Ning withdrew his observation consciousness and stopped paying attention to Tongtong. He pushed the door open and stood up. With a flick of his finger, he drew a stream of water from the water tank, turning it into a trickle, continuously surrounding his body.
Jiang Ning walked out of the rising steam, her whole body refreshed, and her hair style was more set than permed and dyed.
He found Chu Chu's house and saw Chu Chu holding potatoes and preparing to peel them.
"You're disobedient." Jiang Ning blamed her.
Xue Chuchu silently put down the potatoes, embarrassed to speak.
After what happened last night, Jiang Ning confiscated her money as a joke, explained it to her, and finally told her to stop cooking this morning and go out for breakfast.
"Have your things been packed?" Jiang Ning asked.
Xue Chuchu: "I still need some clothes."
Jiang Ning: "Okay, let's go to the city after we're done. I know there's a pretty good breakfast shop."
"Well..." Chuchu said very little when Tongtong was away.
Ten minutes later, Xue Chuchu packed everything completely. She carried her bag and her handbag.
Seeing Jiang Ning's gaze, she explained: "My cousin gave birth, and my mother bought her bird's nests, donkey-hide gelatin, and braised beef brought from the company, vacuum packed."
Jiang Ning nodded, expressing understanding.
Xue Chuchu followed him silently and stopped talking.
'This is too boring... too boring.' Jiang Ning thought.
He went out first, returned to his home, and pushed the titanium gray battery car out the door, its lights bright and cool.
Jiang Ning looked at Chu Chu again. She was wearing a light blue down jacket, as light as the blue that had just emerged from the sky, and as clean as a student's unique innocence.
"Yes, Chu Chu is an authentic female high school student." Jiang Ning sighed.
What's even better is that despite this purity, Xue Chuchu always maintains a slight sense of alienation, which makes people feel even more out of reach.
Jiang Ning put her handbag in the car's storage box, then took Chu Chu to the city.
All the way to the west, the sun gradually dawns.
Jiang Ning said: "You are pretty good, you get up so early every day to cook."
The key is that the food is pretty good, with stir-fried dishes almost every meal.
The shame from last night has faded a lot. Xue Chuchu said: "You're just used to it, aren't you?"
Jiang Ning: "How could I get up so early when I went to school? I just want to sleep more. A bowl of instant noodles every morning is enough."
The oncoming wind ruffled Chu Chu's hair. She lifted a few strands of hair from her forehead and said in a pure voice: "You and Tong Tong are somewhat similar, but she changed later."
Jiang Ning: "Huh?"
Xue Chuchu recounted the past: "We had morning reading classes in elementary school. In winter, it was still dark before school. Tongtong always ate instant noodles in the morning. When Aunt Gu saw it, she blamed her for eating indiscriminately. It was too unhealthy.
Decided to cook for her."
Jiang Ning: "Oh? Didn't Tongtong join forces with you later?"
Xue Chuchu pursed her lips: "Aunt Gu made a lot of delicious food for Tongtong on the first day. She fried shredded edamame and pork, boiled eggs, fried scallion pancakes, and stewed meatball soup."
Jiang Ning: "Aunt Gu is amazing."
Xue Chuchu: "It was actually okay once. Later, Aunt Gu got up early for two months in a row and cooked delicious food for Tongtong every day. But Tongtong woke up later every time, and her taste became more and more picky..."
Jiang Ning thought of that scene and smiled: "I guess Aunt Gu must regret it very much."
In winter, it’s too torturous to get up early to cook at 5 o’clock every day.
Xue Chuchu: "Well, later she got sick and bought instant noodles for Tongtong again."
Jiang Ning was happy.
After this chat, the strangeness between Jiang Ning and Chu Chu was eliminated, and they actually started chatting about small things in life. Unknowingly, they arrived at the old street in the city.
It wasn't until Jiang Ning stopped the electric bike that Xue Chuchu realized that her whole body was actually warm, not at all the coldness she usually felt when riding a bike.
While she was surprised, her eyes moved to the breakfast shop on the street. As the lid of the pot was opened, a stream of steam rose up, and the aroma of steamed buns came out.
Jiang Ning said: "The taste of Huangji's fried buns is quite good."
They got up very early, but there was still a long queue in front of the breakfast shop.
Jiang Ning also lined up. At the front of the queue, the boss was wearing work clothes and standing in front of the boiler. He dug out a ladle of water, poured it into the pot, then covered the pot with the lid, and turned the sides of the pot rhythmically with his hands. His movements were very rhythmic.
Feeling, quite exciting.
From time to time, a hungry customer shouts: "Boss, when will it be ready?"
"It'll be ready soon! It'll be ready soon!"
When he arrived at Jiang Ning, he ordered fried buns worth 6 yuan and two bowls of egg soup.
The proprietress grabbed the bowl with one hand and the eggs with the other. She skillfully broke the eggs and stirred them evenly.
Finally, pick up a big spoon, scoop out a spoonful of bone soup, raise it slightly, and pour it into a bowl. The soup is rich in ingredients, including fungus, thousands of strips, minced meat... and finally sprinkle with coriander.
Jiang Ning disliked the fact that the room was too stuffy, so she sat down at the outdoor table outside.
Xue Chuchu was wiping the table and stools. Jiang Ning waved his hand, the spiritual energy passed through, cleaned them again, and heated the stools at the same time.
The two of them gathered around the dining table facing the rising sun. Jiang Ning took a sip of the soup. It was fresh and hot in the winter, and her whole body warmed up.
He picked up his chopsticks and pointed at the fried buns on the plate next to him.
Xue Chuchu found that the fried buns looked very nice, with a layer of golden crispy skin at the bottom and white dough on top.
She took a bite, blew on it, bit it down, and heated it, then it was soft and fragrant, and then it was filled with beef vermicelli filling.
Jiang Ning saw her elegant eating look and asked, "Is it delicious?"
Xue Chuchu: "Yeah, it's delicious."
Jiang Ning picked up the buns and dipped them in the fried chili noodles: "I go out for breakfast occasionally. It's a pretty good experience."
Of course, if you buy and eat out every day, you will easily get bored.
In her previous life, Jiang Ning often ate breakfast outside, mostly alone, but now she has Chu Chu with her, which is a different kind of beauty. It is a different experience than bringing Tongtong.
Because it is on the roadside, people come and go.
Xue Chuchu was a beautiful little girl, so she was naturally looked at by everyone, but no one came to bother her. Jiang Ning deliberately chose a small table for two people to avoid sharing the table with others.
After breakfast, Xue Chuchu ate four buns, which was more than Jiang Ning. She felt a little embarrassed and ran to pay the bill.
The two young men nearby who had been playing games all night were a little shocked and admired when they saw this scene and looked at Jiang Ning's eyes.
Jiang Ning was basking in the envy of others, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
After Xue Chuchu paid the money, Jiang Ning rode on his cool battery car and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Stop again in front of the passenger terminal.
"Tu County, Tu County!" two black car drivers shouted at the intersection.
Xue Chuchu never rides in this kind of car. Firstly, it is more expensive. Secondly, there are many people in the car, and there are often three people squeezed into the back seat. She cannot guarantee that all the people she meets are good people.
She and Jiang Ning walked straight to the ticket purchasing hall. Xue Chuchu stopped, with a pair of clear and moving eyes, seeming to be reluctant to leave: "Okay Jiang Ning, you can go back."
Jiang Ning nodded: "Well, be careful on the road."
While speaking, his consciousness touched the body-protecting jade pendant on Xue Chuchu's chest, which contained sufficient spiritual power to deal with daily crises.
Thinking of Tongtong's repeatedly strengthened jade pendants and rabbit bracelets...Jiang Ning formed a spell, mobilized a full 20% of his mana, popped up a temporary protective array, and engraved it on Chu Chu's body.
With such magic protection, even if the bus was hit by two large trucks, she would still be able to remain unscathed. And if someone was up to something evil, the magic circle would also trigger a killing response.
"It's about 65 kilometers from downtown Yuzhou to Humiao Town. At the speed of the spirit boat, we can reach it within 5 minutes. Even if the magic circle kills dozens of people, I can still cover it easily." Jiang Ning thought.
Xue Chuchu had no idea about this. She took a few steps forward and joined the crowd, but couldn't help but look back.
Jiang Ning stood at the door of the hall, looking quietly.
Xue Chuchu felt inexplicably at ease, and a slight smile bloomed on her face, melting away the coldness and revealing a trace of sweetness.
