From the time he hung up the phone to the time Yuan Zhou cleaned up, it took no more than 20 minutes.
"I wonder how long it will take for my future girlfriend to clean up before she goes out." Yuan Zhou was quite curious.
While thinking, Yuan Zhou was walking leisurely this time. He wore clean khaki casual pants and a white T-shirt and stood at the intersection waiting for Jiang Changxi.
Just in a little while, a green taxi stopped in front of Yuan Zhou with a sound of "Zi".
"Wow. You look so handsome. Are you going home for a blind date?" Jiang Changxi didn't come out of the taxi. She directly opened the door of the back seat and said jokingly when she saw Yuan Zhou.
"No, I feel like that every day," Yuan Zhou said with a serious expression.
"Haw-haw. Boss Yuan is also narcissistic." Jiang Changxi smiled and sat inside, letting Yuan Zhou come in.
"No. I just want to tell the truth." After Yuan Zhou got into the car, he straightened his back.
"All right. I'm just joking. Relax." Jiang Changxi looked at Yuan Zhou with a funny smile.
"Um. Thank you. How much is the fare?" The car started moving slowly. Yuan Zhou looked at the meter that had been turned off and suddenly asked.
"300 RMB for a round trip. If you wait for me, it will be calculated separately." Jiang Changxi said cleanly.
"Then please wait for a while, master. I'll go back directly in the evening." Yuan Zhou considered the place he needed to go and then said.
"No problem. Don't worry. I will definitely give a good price to Changxi's friend." While waiting for the traffic light, Master Bai turned his head and said to Yuan Zhou smilingly.
"Sorry to bother you." Yuan Zhou said courteously.
"You are welcome. Young man, don't mention it." Master Bai smiled. It was unknown whether he thought of or misunderstood something.
"Um." Yuan Zhou answered with a nod.
When the traffic light turned off, the car continued moving forward, but it was very quiet in the car.
There was a look of tiredness on Jiang Changxi's face. Looking closely, there were some inconspicuous dark circles under her eyes. After she teased Yuan Zhou as usual, she leaned against the back of the chair and closed her eyes to rest.
Yuan Zhou, on the other hand, was sitting in the back seat in a daze.
In fact, Chengdu was not far from Meishan. Even if they took a bus, it would only take them a little more than an hour to get there. If they drove, it would be even closer. Forty minutes would suffice.
However, Yuan Zhou hadn't gone back for six years. He hadn't gone back since he graduated from high school.
Meishan was Yuan Zhou's hometown. At that time, Yuan Zhou didn't even want to go back for Chinese New Year. There was no house there, and his parents didn't have any relatives there.
Even Yuan Zhou's parents would only go back to burn incense on the Qingming Festival. Basically, Yuan Zhou was either studying or thinking that it didn't matter if he went back next time.
After his parents passed away, Yuan Zhou did not want to go back. It was too sad.
After seeing Li Jing this time, Yuan Zhou suddenly recalled a distant memory.
This place was not only sad, but also happy.
Whether it was the warm memories with his family or with his classmates and friends, there were always more good memories than bad ones.
Therefore, Yuan Zhou decided to return to his hometown in a hurry.
However, there was no hurry to return to his hometown.
"Young man, we have arrived at Meishan. Where do you want to get off?" Master Bai's words interrupted Yuan Zhou's thoughts.
"You are really fast. Boss Yuan, where do you want to get off?" Jiang Changxi sat up and asked curiously.
"I am just at the foot of Jinyi Road. What about you?" Yuan Zhou directly told her the main street of Meishan. Then, he turned the head and looked at Jiang Changxi.
"Let me go there with you first." Jiang Changxi checked the time and then said.
"Okay. We'll be there soon." After Master Bai shouted, the car drove towards the main street steadily.
Although the road in Meishan wasn't asphalt, it was still a flat cement floor. The shops on both sides of the street appeared to be a little old.
"It looks not bad." It was also the first time for Jiang Changxi to come to Meishan. Once she got off the car, she said that conveniently.
"Not bad, right? The things here are quite complete." Yuan Zhou answered her and said that.
"Really?" Jiang Changxi nodded the head.
The word of "oh" from Jiang Changxi immediately opened Yuan Zhou's mouth.
Perhaps he was too familiar with the place that he didn't see any changes in the small restaurant. Suddenly, Yuan Zhou became talkative and then straightforwardly introduced the place.
"Speaking of which, I often came here when I was a student. But the photos taken in this photo studio are very ugly. Surprisingly, it's still open." While saying that, Yuan Zhou smiled, which was rarely seen.
"Since you say it's ugly, it should be so." Jiang Changxi also chimed in.
"Of course. But the photographer of this restaurant is very interesting." Yuan Zhou recalled the witty words of the photographer when he once took a photo here and then said justly.
"Do you see this one? It's a cyber cafe. It seems to have a license now." Yuan Zhou pointed at the shop with the signboard of [Hang Long Cyber Cafe] and said in a low voice.
"There used to be a small stall here. The boss is a forthright auntie. She likes drinking wine, but the Hot and Sour Noodles she cooks are very delicious. I used to eat a bowl of it every day after school."
"It has changed. She turned several empty rooms into a small market. Speaking of which, the secret base is right here."
"Haw-haw. This tree hasn't been changed. Look, the one here has been struck by lightning. It's very unique."
"I rented the bookstore with a deposit of 10 RMB. One RMB per day. When I was in class, my teacher paid me and I lost the deposit of 10 RMB. I was sad for a long time."
Right after that, Yuan Zhou introduced all the shops on the main street in an unceasing manner.
It was the first time that Jiang Changxi saw Yuan Zhou behave like this. He was simply a chatterbox, but surprisingly, he became a little popular.
After walking through the side street, they could vaguely see several white and somewhat shabby buildings in front.
"The school is in front of us. Do you want to go there and have a look?" Yuan Zhou stood at the end of the street and said.
"Sure." Jiang Changxi nodded the head without hesitation.
"I used to study here, but now it's surprisingly closed." There was a sense of nostalgia and indescribable sadness in Yuan Zhou's tone.
"The quality of the houses here is really good." Jiang Changxi suddenly sighed with emotion.
"Um?" Yuan Zhou became stupefied.
"It must have been the 80s when you were studying here, right?" Jiang Changxi looked at Yuan Zhou carefully and then said.
"..." Yuan Zhou felt the atmosphere was gone.
Without saying anything, he led the others to walk into the school.
Jiang Changxi followed behind him quietly.
"It seems to be rotten. There used to be several wooden buildings here. They are the pavilions." Yuan Zhou pointed at several pieces of rotten wood and said.
"Um." Jiang Changxi nodded the head silently.
"This is the teaching building, but our school doesn't have a library." Yuan Zhou pointed at the main building and introduced almost every place like a professional tour guide.
"It's pretty good." Jiang Changxi was also a conscientious listener.
The sky gradually darkened. The two of them strolled around for several hours just like that.
During the period, Jiang Changxi listened to them quietly while Yuan Zhou talked in high spirits. The two of them appeared to be quite harmonious.
"Speaking of which, we all live on campus. The male dormitory is not bad. It has six people." Yuan Zhou pointed at the building behind the teaching building.
Said Lou Lou.
"Growl." Just when Jiang Changxi wanted to say something, her stomach suddenly growled.
The two of them fell silent for a while.
The growl broke Yuan Zhou's mood just now. Only then did he realize that he had been talking like this for several hours.
He looked at Jiang Changxi and found she still looked as usual and didn't seem to be annoyed at all. Then, Yuan Zhou felt a little embarrassed. After all, it was very annoying to listen to others' nagging.
Not to mention that he had been listening to a person's nagging for several hours.
"I'm sorry. Let me treat you to a meal." Yuan Zhou knitted his brows and said seriously.
He was a little dissatisfied with his behavior and wanted to make it up to Jiang Changxi.
"Haw-haw. Never mind. Aren't you going to show me around your dormitory?" Jiang Changxi pointed at the abandoned building at the side.
"Never mind. There's nobody here anyway." Yuan Zhou took a look at the old building and said with a disappointed tone.
"Don't you still have classmates? I guess you are living the best life now. Do you want to hold a class reunion to show off?" Jiang Changxi suggested smilingly.
"What a frank suggestion." Yuan Zhou indicated that he was unexpectedly a little speechless.
"Of course. It's a conscientious person and a conscientious suggestion." Jiang Changxi said mischievously.
"You have ruined the atmosphere." Yuan Zhou was quite speechless.
After quite a while, Yuan Zhou said again silently, "Thank you for your comfort."
"You are welcome. I'm not bad as a caring elder sister, right?" Jiang Changxi smiled and revealed her inconspicuous dimples.
"Not bad." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
