On the New Year's Eve night under the canopy, there were no cars at all on the main road in Luojiang. Wen Siheng's white sports car followed the traffic lights and stopped, and he even felt reluctant to take off the accelerator.
He wished he could get the green light all the way. For the first time, he felt that the distance between home and school was so long.
Guessing that the money he lent to Jian Anran's parents had probably been exposed, Wen Siheng almost didn't use chopsticks at today's New Year's Eve dinner. He just insisted on having a reunion dinner with his parents. He didn't even finish the meal, and he didn't even wait for the Spring Festival Gala program to air.
out, he couldn’t wait to drive out.
After several times looking at his mobile phone, which was so quiet that it looked like it was turned off, he finally resisted the idea of making a call.
What if their family is happy? What if they don’t quarrel?
……
Originally, she wanted to keep her son here until school starts after the new year. Tang Yirui was very dissatisfied with Wen Siheng's early departure today. But she was dissatisfied, so she still pouted and took out the thermos box for her son.
Half of the New Year’s Eve dinner is left.
"You have to be careful with this soup. Don't put it in the back seat. It will fall out when the time comes."
"As a fan, you'd better go back and heat it up, otherwise you'll be tired of it when it's cold."
"I'm telling you about this meat..." Tang Yirui warned the casual Wen Siheng.
Her son said he wanted to take it away without eating a few bites. She had been busy all day, so she didn’t have any unnecessary thoughts when she heard this. She just thought that her son wanted to take it home for dinner.
Tang Yirui looked at the packed bag and sighed, "Hey, is your child withdrawn or something? You are going to watch a show with your parents tonight. Are you not good at playing the piano? Why are you rushing back in such cold weather?" Seeing Wen Siheng's lowered eyes with no reaction, she said reluctantly, "I'm not telling you, I really don't like your house."
"The area is so big, and you decorated it like that, it feels cold when you go in. No wonder you are the only one who likes to live there..." Tang Yirui suddenly realized that something was wrong with his son's expression, and Tang Yirui suddenly realized that it was his quick words and poking.
Taking advantage of his son's worries, he quickly shut up.
Tang Yirui cast a look of help at Wen Shuliang, who immediately understood.
Wen Shuliang cleared his throat and stood up to smooth things over, "I think that house is quite nice. You are also a teacher. Why do you put it this way? Everyone has their own different aesthetics."
"That's for sure. If you don't like it, don't like it. Now I've read on the Internet that many young people like black, white and gray..." Tang Yirui smiled quickly.
Seeing his parents in front of him singing a double act, Wen Siheng was too lazy to pay attention.
The anxiety in his heart prevented him from even thinking about it. He just thought that Tang Yirui had better collect the things faster so that he could leave immediately with his lunch box.
After the white sports car turned at the intersection, it quickly stopped in front of the gate pole at the school gate.
I don’t know if it was out of control or something else, but the machine on the side had clearly displayed Wen Siheng’s license plate, but the pole never went up.
"Didi——" Wen Siheng honked the horn twice impatiently, and the security uncle immediately stood up, gathered his military coat and walked out.
"Hello, visitors please register here."
Rolling down the window, Wen Siheng stuck his head out and pointed at the display screen behind the security guard.
Seeing the "employee vehicle" above, the other party immediately reacted and said "Ouch".
"I'm sorry, teacher. A teacher reported that my system is broken today. The workers came over this afternoon and it turns out it's still not repaired."
While registering the vehicle information on the display screen, the other party walked back to the security booth and muttered to himself, "It's so cold, so cold."
After successfully entering the school, the campus road filled with street trees was empty.
A white sports car drove past the road, and his car quickly stopped at the door of the living area.
He knew that Jian Anran's dormitory was in the fourth building after entering from the entrance of the living area. There were only a few dormitories with lights on, and he suddenly discovered——
I have no idea which floor Jian Anran lives on.
……
Shen Huainan's lips were so cold that they were bloodless. Jian Anran asked again and again, but the other party still shook his head and said, "It's not cold at all."
She said nothing and stuffed the warm baby in her pocket into his hand.
He emphasized again: "I'm not cold." He wanted to hand the warm baby back.
Jian Anran hid for a moment, while Shen Huainan's hand holding Nuan Baobao was hanging in the air.
She walked forward a few steps faster, turned back and said softly: "I'm too hot."
Jian Anran and Shen Huainan, who had just walked out of school, waited for a long time at the bus stop at the door and finally took the bus away from the campus.
Not knowing where her destination was at all, Jian Anran followed Shen Huainan like a headless fly.
As soon as she got in the car, she couldn't help but ask: "Where are we going?"
Shen Huainan checked the bus code on his phone twice, "You'll know when you get there."
Only then did she suddenly realize that she had forgotten to scan the QR code when she got on the bus. Jian Anran walked quietly to the last few rows and found a seat by the window to sit down.
Shen Huainan followed closely behind, and the moment she sat down next to her, Jian Anran instantly felt a chill.
She couldn't help but said: "You really don't have to go to the emergency room to get fluids tonight, do you?"
"I'm still young and strong." He said, patting his strong deltoid muscles.
Jian Anran was speechless: "I heard that the lower the body fat, the easier it is to catch a cold."
The street trees with red lanterns hanging on the road walked behind them, and the car they were riding in was getting closer and closer to the river.
Looking at the familiar scenery outside the window, Jian Anran couldn't help but wonder: "Isn't it right? Are you coming to Luojiang River?"
Shen Huainan seemed a little annoyed, "You don't like the riverside?"
She then shook her head and said, "You're wearing so little, don't underestimate the winter breeze."
"That's good." He whispered to himself.
The bus stopped at the ferry port of Luojiang River. There were many boats with neon signs of "Luojiang Night Tour" parked on the riverside.
Shen Huainan led Jian Anran and walked forward against the river wind.
Jian Anran looked around: "What kind of restaurant can there be here?"
Most of the food stalls near the ferry are dedicated to catering to tourists. Almost all of them are shops opened by outsiders with the sign of "Luojiang Specialties" and are rarely visited by locals.
The person in front of her turned around and raised her lips, pretending to be mysterious: "You will know soon."
Sure enough, she soon found out that in front of her was the memory of almost all old Luojiang people - Luojiang Road Restaurant.
Located on the riverside side of Cross Street, Cross Street is located on the central axis of the old Luojiang River, perpendicular to the riverside, extending from the old city gate to the riverside.
Jian Anran, who was born in Luojiang and has lived for 22 years, remembers that he only visited Luojiang Road Restaurant once when he was a child, and it was because his father Jian Shaobo's overseas Chinese aunt returned to China that they spent a huge sum of money to treat him to a meal.
