After dinner, the sky was getting dark, but the ancient town at this time and in the early morning were the most charming.
But I prefer this time, when the smoke is curling up, there are three or two groups of people on the path paved with bluestones, there are children chasing and playing, there are people going home to cook, and there are also the unique cat brigade of the ancient town.
Come out to look for food at this time.
Cao Xiaoyu also wanted to visit the ancient town. She said that although she was from Anxi County, she really didn't have much chance to visit the ancient town.
Speaking of which, she, a local, is not as familiar with some places as me, a foreigner.
Cao Xiaoyu is also a very playful person, and he will take a look at anything interesting or good-looking when he sees it.
But walking with her is not tiring at all. She is very active and seems to have endless energy and endless words.
After walking together for a while, I finally said to her: "Aren't you going to go back to school? It's going to be dark soon."
"Who told you I was going back to school?"
"What, you won't go back to school?"
"I'm graduating soon. I don't need to stay at school all day. I have to wait for your call tomorrow. I plan to go home tonight."
No wonder she wasn't in a hurry even though it was so late. The county seat was indeed not far from the ancient town, and it only took about ten minutes to drive there.
After I nodded, I asked her curiously: "Which school are you studying in?"
"Normal College."
I was stunned for a moment and then asked: "How many normal universities are there in the city?"
"It's just one school, what's wrong?"
I suddenly thought of An Siqi, because she teaches at the Normal University.
Of course I didn't tell her this, I shook my head and said it was okay, I just wanted to ask.
Then I asked her again: "Is your home in the county?"
"Well, if you're not busy, you can give me a ride."
"You really find things for me to do."
She chuckled and said playfully: "Isn't this asking if you are busy? If you have something to do, just forget it."
"You can go back by yourself. I won't send you off. It's really late now. I'll take a taxi for you."
"Okay, then I'll wait for your call tomorrow, uncle."
"Um."
I dropped her off at the gate of the ancient town and found a taxi for her. I didn't return to the inn until I sent her off.
But I really didn’t expect that she would want to come to our company to experience it. I have already agreed, so won’t she know my identity when she comes to the company tomorrow?
I've never intentionally hidden my identity, but I think sometimes it's good to maintain a sense of mystery.
If I had told her my identity yesterday, I might not have had the chance to know her paper.
Needless to say, the column in her paper focusing on "scenic spots and communities" is really well written, very detailed, and very fascinating.
It did give me some new inspiration. I also need such fresh blood and new thinking.
When I returned to the inn, I didn't expect An Siqi to be sitting in the courtyard, still chatting with Boss Tang.
Seeing that I was back, Boss Tang immediately said to An Siqi: "Here, I'm back, let's talk."
When I was wondering, Boss Tang walked up to me and whispered: "Young lady has been waiting for you for a long time, why did you come back?"
"How long has she been driving?"
"It's been a while, and she's still having dinner with us. You can talk to her and find her."
After Boss Tang left, An Siqi immediately stood up and looked at me with a smile.
"Why are you here?" I walked towards her.
"I heard that my godfather was very angry because of what happened last time. Did it not affect you?"
I waved my hand, subconsciously touched the cigarette point, and said, "It's okay. Why didn't you call me in advance when you came to see me?"
"I...I'm afraid you won't answer."
"You think too much."
"Don't you hold a grudge against me?"
"Why do I hold a grudge against you? What happened that day was also the truth I told and it has nothing to do with you."
"I mean I asked her to help me act, but it ended up like this. I heard that you went to apologize to Mr. Wen with fruit, and he threw it out. You must feel bad, right?"
I smiled and said, "This is nothing. It's really nothing. You just think too much."
"I have already gone to see my godfather and told him clearly about my relationship with you. I said that I deliberately asked you to do this."
"Actually, you don't need to explain, because the more you explain some things, the more unclear they become."
"I'm just afraid of causing trouble to you."
"There's no trouble. It's quite late. I'll go back quickly, otherwise your parents should be worried."
"My parents know that I'm here to find you."
I was a little surprised. I was stunned for a moment and said, "Your parents still want you to come to me?"
"Oh, let them know the truth and forgive me. They didn't blame you. Instead, they asked me to apologize to you."
It's really interesting. An Siqi's biological parents didn't have such a big reaction as Mr. Wen.
But this just shows that it’s not that simple that Mr. Wen wants me to be with An Siqi. He must have other intentions.
I didn't think too much, I just nodded and said to her: "Okay, I'm fine. You should go back quickly. It's really late."
"Then...then we are still friends, right?"
"That's what you think."
She smiled and nodded, and then said, "Okay, I'll go back first."
When she turned around, I stopped her: "By the way, I want to ask you about someone. Do you know him?"
"Who?"
"Is there a student named Cao Xiaoyu in your school?"
An Siqi barely hesitated before nodding and replied: "Yes, how do you know her?"
"Do you know me? You answered me so quickly."
"Of course I know her. I have also taught in their department, and she is quite famous in school."
"Be famous? How to become famous?"
"How should I put it? She is an all-round development student in our school! She is also a member of the student union and the captain of the school cheerleading team. Last year, she represented the school in the provincial cheerleading performance and won first place, and she was also the school cheerleading team leader.
From the table tennis team.”
"Oh! Then she is really all-powerful!"
"She is quite capable and works very hard to raise a child. How do you know her?"
I smiled and said, "It's not like we know each other. She came to me and said she wanted to experience our company. She said I was a student at the Normal University, so I wanted to confirm with you."
"That's right. She is studying tourism management. If there is a chance, you can really let her do an internship in your company."
"Well, thank you. Oh, by the way, I asked you about these things, so don't tell her later."
"Yeah, I know."
"Okay, walk slowly."
After seeing An Siqi off, I returned to the yard.
At this time, Boss Tang came out again, looked at the direction An Siqi left, and said twice: "What a good girl! She has to have good looks, good temperament, and she is a teacher at a normal university... I say Brother Chen
You are so lucky!"
I glanced at Boss Tang, smiled bitterly and said, "Don't think too much, we are just ordinary friends."
"As an ordinary friend, she comes here and waits for you for so long. It's true. I, a person who doesn't understand romance, can see what she means. Don't tell me that you don't understand."
"Do you like it? I'll introduce you to him some other time!"
"Pull him down, I'm not worthy of him, you! You're just a good man who doesn't know how hungry he is... Forget it, I'm going to bed."
Maybe it’s because I have better love luck, I don’t know, maybe!
