After finishing a bowl of instant noodles under Bai Bing's gaze, Jing Shaowei once again experienced the feeling of not knowing the taste of food. Fortunately, it was just a bowl of instant noodles. Jing Shaowei thought with an expressionless face, if Bai Bing had invited her
It would be a big loss if you eat a big meal.
When she finished eating, Bai Bing got up and said, "This house belongs to me. You can do what you want tonight. Remember to go to work tomorrow." Then he turned and left.
Jing Shaowei only had time to say "thank you" before he heard the sound of Bai Bing closing the door.
She blinked at the finished instant noodles in front of her, and belatedly realized that Bai Bing had taken care of her.
Taking her to eat and letting her stay, what else is this but taking care of?
Although she only had a bowl of instant noodles and the house looked old, it was still better than sleeping outside in the open air. Jing Shaowei knew how to be content.
Moreover, Bai Bing had already left on his own to avoid suspicion, leaving her alone in the room. She could just lock the door, have a good sleep, and go to work tomorrow morning.
Jing Shaowei thought so and did the same thing. After confirming that the motorcycles outside had left, she went to the door and locked it. Then she returned to the coffee table, poured out the finished noodle soup, threw away the paper bowl, and wiped the table.
.
After clearing the table, she walked around the room. The room was indeed not big, with one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. The bedroom door was closed and should be openable. Jing Shaowei looked and saw that there was no door open. She did not open the door.
She wasn't going to sleep in someone else's bedroom. After a brief wash in the bathroom, she arranged the pillows on the sofa. One was used as a pillow and the other was used to cover her belly. It was enough for this summer night.
After saying good night to Jiang Zhongli, Jing Shaowei fell into a deep sleep. Too many things happened today, and she couldn't bear it any longer. It was only through sheer willpower that she managed to get to this point.
Fortunately, she met a kind-hearted Bai Bingjie. Although she didn't know why he helped her, at least it seems that he is not a bad person now. Maybe she can ask him for help in the future...
------------------
At six o'clock in the morning, exchange on time.
Jiang Zhongli was awake all the time. He sat up almost as soon as he came over, looked at the surrounding environment, stood up and checked whether there were any obvious cameras or other monitoring equipment in the room. He was relieved after ensuring safety.
Although Jing Shaowei told him last night that Bai Bing should be a good person, he had not personally contacted him. He was skeptical about Jing Shaowei's statement that he judged the other person to be a good person after only a few hours of contact, but he did not express it directly.
come out.
Jing Shaowei was indeed too tired yesterday, and he wanted to at least let her rest first. He would take over in a few hours anyway, and it would be too late to investigate after he came out.
He was very pleased that even though Jing Shaowei claimed that Bai Bing was a good person, she did not completely believe him. She locked the doors and windows, did not enter the bedroom, did not go to the toilet, slept on the sofa, and even kept a
I don't know where I found this handgrip. If this thing hits anyone's head unexpectedly, it will stun the other person for a while.
Jiang Zhongli got up and simply washed his face. He saw that it was still early before work, but he was not going to stay in this house anymore. He had not visited this town yet, so he could go out and walk around while there was still time in the morning.
After tidying up the used things, Jiang Zhongli closed the door and left the hut where he stayed for one night.
This room was in a residential building. There was no elevator in the building. He found the stairs and went down. After exiting the door of the building, he came directly to the small street.
The breakfast shop on the street was already open, and the couple were preparing meals. Jiang Zhongli looked around and determined the location of the research institute, the only high point in the town, from a distance, and then walked in the direction of the research institute.
go.
He met very few people along the way, and even after turning a few turns, he didn't see a wider road. Jiang Chongli had an idea of the general size of the town. When he was still two roads away from the research institute, he stopped.
I came down and walked into a community supermarket that had just opened. I pretended to be buying groceries and talked to the boss who was loading the goods.
"Boss, when did you get these cowpeas? They look quite fresh." Jiang Chongli took a handful of freshly placed long cowpeas and asked casually.
"I just picked up the goods this morning and unloaded them at around three o'clock last night. They are still fresh." The boss was busy moving the basket of tomatoes, took a look and replied.
"Tomatoes too, right? Did they come by boat or by refrigerated truck?" Jiang Zhongli put down the cold cowpeas on his hands and looked at the tomatoes that also had water droplets on them. He already had the answer in his heart, but there was still a lot of work to be sure.
asked.
"As for trucks, we have a small population and there is no need to use large ships. It can be reached in three hours from the distribution center in Zhannan." After the boss finished moving the things, he clapped his hands and smiled at the first customer who came in the morning.
Said: "Whatever you buy, girl, is the freshest."
Jiang Chongli shook his head: "I go to work in the morning and come back to buy after get off work."
This reason is reasonable. The boss nodded: "Okay, the dishes after get off work may not be as complete as in the morning."
Jiang Chongli exchanged greetings with the boss and left the supermarket on the pretext of buying breakfast.
Zhannan should be the nearest prefecture-level city from here, right? Jiang Chongli guessed. A three-hour drive doesn't seem too far away. This should be good news for him and Jing Shaowei, after all, the surrounding roads are accessible.
It's easier than escaping on an isolated island.
When the time was almost up, Jiang Chongli came to the entrance of the research institute. This was really a small entrance. If he hadn't paid close attention and saw people walking in from the outside, it would have been easy to overlook this place just by looking at the appearance of the building.
He put on his hood, hid the card in his sleeve, followed the people in front of him, swiped the card and sneaked into the building while the security guard wasn't paying attention.
After passing the customs, he went to the restaurant to pack breakfast, and then went straight back to the dormitory. He didn't wash up properly in Bai Bing's room in the morning, so he had to wash up first before eating.
After Jiang Zhongli finished washing, Jing Shaowei also woke up. The first thing she said to Jiang Zhongli after waking up was: "What time is it? Have you gone back? I want to eat steamed buns."
Jiang Zhongli looked at the Xiao Long Bao on the table and felt very good for a moment. He looked at the time and replied: "At half past seven, I went back to the dormitory and bought the Xiao Long Bao. Are you going to change it now?"
Jing Shaowei felt that the meal she had eaten yesterday made her feel bad. When she heard that Jiang Zhongli had bought Xiao Long Bao, she agreed repeatedly: "Switch it, I'll eat half and you eat half."
Jiang Zhongli was amused by her equal distribution: "That's not necessary. You can eat it. You don't have to leave it for me." He actually didn't have much need for food. He just wanted to eat when he was hungry and just eat when he was full. He didn't understand the concept of Jing Shao.
Wei’s spiritual pursuit of food.
Jing Shaowei didn't say much to him. She ate three of the five buns, then took a sip of soy milk and sighed happily. Only now did she feel like she was alive and had the energy to deal with today's events.
