Chapter 386 Returning to the new city after the holiday
It was originally scheduled to have lunch at noon on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year and then take the bus to Xincheng. However, the group of people waited at No. 1 Huangting for a long time but there was no sign of Bai Shuo. It was not until around 2 o'clock in the afternoon that Bai Shuo appeared in high spirits.
"Well...Xu Chan knew that we were leaving, so he specially invited me to lunch as a farewell." Bai Shuo explained.
Zhu Zhu wondered: "We all have to leave, why do we have to send you off alone? Besides, didn't everyone just get together last night?"
Zhong Pengcheng patted Bai Shuo on the shoulder and said, "Didn't you send Xu Chan back last night? I heard that you didn't come home all night. I'm afraid this farewell meal was for breakfast and lunch, right?"
"Who said I didn't come home all night?"
At this time, several people unconsciously looked at Zhao Yong who was standing aside. When Bai Shuo followed and looked over, Zhao Yong avoided it in embarrassment.
Bai Shuo knew that the more he argued, the darker he got. The best way at this time was to change the subject. Hey... why was Cao An, who usually talked back the most, silent today? Only then did he realize that there was no Cao An among the crowd.
"Where is the fat man? Where are you going? What time has it been? Why haven't you come yet?"
"He plans to stay in Shudu for a while. It is said that there is still some aftermath work to be done here." Zhu Zhu said.
Bai Shuo grinned: "I'm afraid Xiaotong still needs to deal with the aftermath, right?"
Liang Ying said: "Anyway, he didn't have anything particularly important in the past. It's better to let him deepen his relationship with Xiaotong here. You can't just take care of yourself, but you also have to give more thought to your brothers who are still single.
"
Bai Shuo nodded: "That's fine, this is his lifelong event, and we can't delay him."
Seeing that Liang Ying was deliberately teasing himself, Bai Shuo asked again: "I heard that Sister Wanting also returned to Shudu this year to celebrate the New Year. I haven't seen you these days. Have you..."
"What are you thinking about?" Seeing Bai Shuo's intention to fight with her, Liang Ying immediately said loudly: "You guys have been very drunk these days, but I am thinking about how to solve the problem in Xincheng every day."
Liang Ying's words immediately brought everyone's thoughts away from the New Year's celebrations. This time they will have to face various problems in the new city again. Failure to handle them well may cause a huge shock to the entire plan.
"Have you figured out anything?"
Liang Ying pointed to a row of vehicles parked outside the villa and said, "It's getting late. I already have some ideas. Let's get in the car and talk."
In order to save time, we drove through the night for a while until we were close to the border of Bagui Province and found a small county town to rest.
Unexpectedly, there are only a few hotels in this small county town, and accommodation is very tight during the Spring Festival. It was already midnight when we arrived. I searched around the county town and found a few rooms in two hotels, but I couldn't satisfy them.
Everyone checked in.
Finally, everyone asked the woman, Nangong Ming, and the person in charge of driving to go to the room to rest. Bai Shuo, Liang Ying and others stayed in the car for the night. The business car Bai Shuo was in was very spacious. It had been modified and installed with
A comfortable space seat. Although you can't turn it around when sleeping on it, it's still quite comfortable.
In the middle of the night, Bai Shuo vaguely felt that someone had opened the car door. He sat up suddenly, only to find a man getting in with two thick quilts in his arms. Because the quilt was so big, he couldn't tell who was behind him.
It wasn't until the visitor threw one of the quilts to Bai Shuo and placed another quilt on the space seat next to him that Bai Shuo saw clearly that the visitor turned out to be Anna.
"It's so late, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"You know, I'm not used to sharing a bed with others. This way everyone can't get a good rest, so I'll just make do with this chair all night." Anna said in a calm tone.
Bai Shuo touched the quilt that had just been thrown over, and he was suddenly moved.
He knew that Anna would never speak so softly in normal times. When she spoke to him like this, she was often hiding other thoughts in her heart. She was obviously worried that she would be cold in the car, so she made a special trip to bring him a quilt, but she said
But unwilling to admit it.
It would be great if she could be more honest and gentle, instead of always looking cold! Haha, in fact, Anna is quite similar to Xu Chan in some places... Um, why do you think of Xu Chan again?
At this time, the scene that made people laugh and cry when he said goodbye to Xu Chan during the day gradually emerged in Bai Shuo's mind.
Bai Shuo proposed to Xu Chan the idea of going to the new city with him.
Unexpectedly, Xu Chan looked at Bai Shuo for a long time and suddenly said: "What are you doing? Don't think that because I couldn't help sleeping with you last night, I will be responsible for you! We are all so familiar with each other,
Don't think of embarrassing everyone."
Bai Shuo was immediately stunned by Xu Chan's words, but he had already judged from Xu Chan's micro-expression that this was not Xu Chan's true thoughts. Maybe she still had some concerns.
Of course, Bai Shuo was not completely sure of his judgment, but it was not advisable to push Xu Chan too hard.
"Ah... where are you thinking? Of course I know last night was just an accident. If we have anything, we don't have to wait until today, right?"
This time it was Xu Chan's turn to feel a little unnatural: "Well... haha, yes. Then you still want me to go there with you?"
Now Bai Shuo was more sure of his judgment. It was clear that Xu Chan had some feelings for him, but he just didn't want to show it. Forget it, he was leaving soon, and he had a long time to come, so he shouldn't be too anxious.
"If you have been there, you will know that although it doesn't look like much now, there are many development opportunities in the future, which will definitely be several times better than if you stayed in Shu."
Xu Chan's eyes flashed with a trace of disappointment: "Oh, it turns out you hope that I can have better development there. When I have time, maybe I will go over and take a look. Then you can
Don't bother me."
The flash of disappointment in Xu Chan's eyes was caught by Bai Shuo, but Bai Shuo didn't intend to expose it at the time. Thinking of this, Bai Shuo unconsciously smiled.
"Why didn't you bring Xu Chan with you?"
"What?"
Anna's words suddenly brought Bai Shuo back from his thoughts.
"What? Didn't you just miss Xu Chan again?"
Bai Shuo knew that his inadvertent expression must have been caught by Anna. He and Anna were really enemies. He had just seen through her thoughts, but he didn't expect that Anna would notice his own thoughts so quickly.
"Well... of course... no, I was moved by the quilt you brought."
Bai Shuo knew that no matter how he explained the matter, it would be useless. The best way to get rid of the embarrassment was to kick it back. After saying that, he actually pulled the quilt in front of him and smelled: "Wow, there is still your fragrance on it...
hehe."
Anna glared at Bai Shuo fiercely, then pulled the quilt up to her body and fell down heavily.
"I'm bored, I fell asleep..."
Just as Bai Shuo was congratulating himself on his cleverness, Anna said softly: "Unless there are special circumstances, I will not have any fragrance on my body. This is the basic requirement of being an agent."
Damn it... Bai Shuo really wanted to give himself a slap in the face. It turned out that his self-righteous cleverness only deepened her affirmation in Anna's eyes.
