Chapter 812: Send Back
The night was cold and harsh.
Xue Chuchu played games at Tongtong's house until 11 o'clock in the evening, then pushed the door and left.
Jiang Ning checked Chu Chu's historical game record, which was horrible, all 1-5, 1-6. The outrageous thing was that despite such a terrible situation, they had all won consecutive games.
Of course, all the credit goes to the invincible Tongtong.
Tongtong sat on the throne with a serious face, continuing to fight alone.
Jiang Ning stood up and walked to her side. Tongtong was playing games and seemed to sense a strange atmosphere. She turned back and glared at Jiang Ning with a vigilant look: "What are you doing?"
Jiang Ning raised half of his hand and then slowly lowered it. After all, he was not a bad person who bullied the weak.
"Do you want to eat grapefruit?" Jiang Ning asked.
"eat!"
Jiang Ning fed her a piece of grapefruit and turned back. The screen of the mobile phone on the sofa lit up, and it turned out to be a message from Chuchu.
Jiang Ning pondered: "Sending me a message without telling Tongtong?"
He looked at the screen and saw a line of words: "Jiang Ning, thank you for your shoes, I like them very much (smile) (smile)."
Jiang Ning has good aesthetic taste and chose classic shoes, pink and white sneakers, which are very versatile and have excellent texture and appearance.
Jiang Ning looked at Chu Chu's deathly smile and felt a little speechless. This expression was sometimes quite scary.
Facing Chuchu's thanks, Jiang Ning tore off his disguise: "The last time you went shopping on Taobao with Tongtong, you saw this pair of shoes. You were quite satisfied with them at the time, so I bought them for you."
The text he sent was very plain, however, when Chu Chu in the next bedroom saw it, she felt uneasy.
She sat on the edge of the bed, her pair of white and tender feet immersed in the basin of hot water, gently stirring the water, causing delicate ripples, just like her mood at the moment.
In winter, soaking your feet in hot water before going to bed will make you warmer. Xue Chuchu does this every night.
"Thank you." Xue Chuchu pursed her lips, and the corners of her pretty lips rose.
In the past, no one except her mother had ever bought her gifts. In recent years, every time her mother took her to buy clothes, she always refused, simply because she was afraid of wasting money.
But, what girl doesn’t like beautiful clothes?
Xue Chuchu was not just asking for things. She had eaten a lot of snacks, fruits, and even barbecue sent by Boss Yang from Jiang Ning. She didn't want to owe Jiang Ning too much.
Xue Chuchu responded: "I bought you a remote-controlled boat from Taobao. It will arrive in the next two days. I should still be in the village by then, so you need to pick it up by yourself (smile) (smile)."
After seeing the message, Jiang Ning was stunned. No way, would a girl be given a remote-controlled boat as a gift?
This is really... so interesting... who doesn't like a remote control boat?
"Why do you want to give me a remote-controlled boat?" Jiang Ning asked.
Xue Chuchu pointed out: "Your 'sea, land and air' are only missing the ship."
Jiang Ning suddenly realized that he had a remote-controlled plane and a remote-controlled car, but the only thing he lacked was a boat for launching into the water.
Jiang Ning's consciousness spread and extended to Chuchu's small bedroom, where she was smiling slightly.
"How happy I am," Jiang Ning thought.
She is completely different from Tongtong. She always seems to want to be an independent girl and distance herself from herself.
It's time to let her see the power of a cultivator!
Jiang Ning thought about it and decided to push the envelope: "I like it very much. You are very good at choosing gifts."
"It's just that... although the remote control boat is great, the water is frozen now, so I guess we can't play with it for a while."
Xue Chuchu seemed to see Jiang Ning's regret through the words. At that moment, her feet, which she had just warmed up, seemed to be a little cold. What if she gave the wrong gift?
Jiang Ning immediately comforted him: "But it doesn't matter. I know something called an inflatable pool that can be placed at home. If you have this, you can play with the remote control boat anytime and anywhere."
Xue Chuchu looked at Jiang Ning's words and recalled the past. He was always so gentle, with a peaceful and reassuring air.
After giving so many times, it seems that he never thought about asking her for anything in return.
However, Xue Chuchu wanted to repay him.
Xue Chuchu, who was cold and aloof, felt an inexplicable surge of heat in her heart. She responded: "I don't know what an inflatable pool is..."
The next second, Xue Chuchu transferred 220 yuan to Jiang Ning.
"I don't know if this money is enough. I still have 80 yuan left for my trip home. Can you try to buy an inflatable pool with this money (smile)?"
After sending the message, Xue Chuchu was stunned. She stared at the message in disbelief.
Just now, she suddenly felt an indescribable impulse in her heart. It was guilt, and gratitude. All these emotions intertwined together made her want to do something for Jiang Ning, so she did this.
"I..." Xue Chuchu's face flushed slightly, and her pair of white and delicate feet twisted in the basin of water as if she was competing with each other.
Jiang Ning had never expected that he would receive such news, and he felt inexplicably warm.
"She is Chuchu?" If Jiang Ning hadn't used his spiritual sense to check again and again, he would have almost thought he had recognized the wrong person.
interesting…
"What a pity! You are so generous. Doesn't it seem like I'm forcing you?"
Jiang Ning is not a person who would repay a favor by taking advantage of it.
The next second, Jiang Ning raised his lips and typed a reply: "It costs 10 yuan to take a bus from the city to Xinhong County, and 6 yuan to take a bus from Xinhong County to Humiao Town. The round-trip fare is 32 yuan in total. How about this, you transfer the remaining 48 yuan to me as well."
The blush on Xue Chuchu's face quickly faded, and her feet became cold again. She was confused: "Ah, you?"
……
August 2, early morning.
The sky has not yet completely broken free from the shackles of the night. There is only a hazy glimmer and a gentle transition between dawn and night.
A row of bungalows were built in the fields, the roofs covered with a thin layer of white frost, and the cold air was raging.
In the cozy bedroom, Tongtong curled up in a warm quilt, sleeping peacefully, not caring about the world.
Jiang Ning withdrew his observation consciousness and stopped taking care of Tongtong. He pushed the door open and stood up. With a stroke of his finger, a stream of water came out from the water tank, which turned into a trickle and continuously surrounded his body.
Jiang Ning walked out of the rising steam, looking refreshed and his hairstyle was more stylish than that with perm or dyeing.
He found Chuchu's house and saw Chuchu holding potatoes and preparing to peel them.
"You're not listening again." Jiang Ning blamed her.
Xue Chuchu silently put down the potatoes, too embarrassed to speak.
After what happened last night, Jiang Ning jokingly confiscated her money, explained everything to her, and finally told her not to cook this morning and to go out for breakfast.
"Have you packed your things?" Jiang Ning asked.
Xue Chuchu: "We still need some clothes."
Jiang Ning: "Okay, let's go to the city after that. I know a good breakfast shop there."
"Hmm..." Chuchu spoke very little when Tongtong was not around.
Ten minutes later, Xue Chuchu had packed up everything completely. She carried a backpack and a handbag.
Seeing Jiang Ning's gaze, she explained, "My cousin gave birth, and my mother bought her bird's nest, donkey-hide gelatin, and braised beef from the company, which was vacuum-packed."
Jiang Ning nodded to show that he understood.
Xue Chuchu followed him silently and stopped talking.
"This is too boring... too dull." Jiang Ning thought.
He went out first, returned to his house, and pushed the titanium gray electric bike out of the door. The headlights were bright and cool.
Jiang Ning looked at Chu Chu again. She was wearing a light blue down jacket, as light as the blue just emerging from the horizon, and her cleanness was exactly the innocence that was unique to students.
"Yes, Chuchu is a genuine high school girl." Jiang Ning sighed.
What’s even more interesting is that in addition to this purity, Xue Chuchu always maintains a slight sense of alienation, which makes people seem even more out of reach.
Jiang Ning put the handbag in the storage box of the car, and then took Chu Chu to the city.
Heading west, daybreak gradually arrived.
Jiang Ning said: "You are quite amazing. You get up so early every day to cook."
The key is that the food is pretty good, with stir-fried dishes almost every meal.
The shame from last night faded a lot. Xue Chuchu said, "You're just used to it, aren't you?"
Jiang Ning: "When I was in school, how could I get up so early? I just wanted to sleep more, and a bowl of instant noodles every morning was enough."
The wind blew Chuchu's hair into a mess. She lifted a few strands of hair from her forehead and said in a pure voice, "You are a bit like Tongtong, but she changed later."
Jiang Ning: “Hmm?”
Xue Chuchu talked about the past: "We had morning reading classes in elementary school. In winter, we had to go to school before dawn. Tongtong always ate instant noodles in the morning. When Aunt Gu saw this, she blamed her for eating so much and it was unhealthy, so she decided to cook for her."
Jiang Ning: "Oh? Didn't Tongtong team up with you later?"
Xue Chuchu pursed her lips and said, "Aunt Gu made a lot of delicious food for Tongtong on the first day. She fried edamame and pork, boiled eggs, fried scallion pancakes, and stewed meatball soup."
Jiang Ning: "Aunt Gu is amazing."
Xue Chuchu: "It was okay once, but then Aunt Gu got up early for two months and made delicious food for Tongtong every day. Tongtong got up later and later, and her taste became more and more picky..."
Jiang Ning thought of that scene and smiled, "I think Aunt Gu must be very regretful."
Getting up early at 5 o'clock every day to cook in winter is so torturous.
Xue Chuchu: "Well, then she stopped getting up and bought instant noodles for Tongtong again."
Jiang Ning was happy.
After this chat, the sense of strangeness between Jiang Ning and Chu Chu disappeared, and they actually started talking about trivial things in life. Unknowingly, they arrived at the old street in the city.
It was not until Jiang Ning stopped the electric bike that Xue Chuchu realized that her whole body was warm, and she did not feel the coldness she usually felt when riding.
As she was surprised, her eyes shifted to the breakfast shop on the street. As the lid of the pot was opened, steam rose up and the aroma of steamed buns wafted out.
Jiang Ning introduced: "The taste of Huang Ji's pan-fried dumplings is quite good."
They got up very early, but there was still a long line in front of the breakfast shop.
Jiang Ning also lined up. At the front of the line, the boss, wearing work clothes, stood in front of the boiler. He scooped a bucket of water, poured it into the pot, then covered the pot with a lid. He rhythmically turned the edge of the pot with his hands. His movements were very rhythmic and quite exciting.
From time to time, hungry customers would shout, "Boss, when is the best time?"
"I'll be there soon! I'll be there soon!"
When it was Jiang Ning's turn, he ordered 6 yuan worth of pan-fried dumplings and two bowls of egg soup.
The proprietress held the bowl in one hand and the eggs in the other, and skillfully cracked the eggs and stirred them evenly.
Finally, pick up a large spoon, scoop out a spoonful of bone soup, lift it slightly, and pour it into the bowl. The soup is very rich in ingredients, such as black fungus, bean curd strips, minced meat... and finally sprinkle with coriander.
Jiang Ning felt that the house was too stuffy, so he sat down at the outdoor table outside.
Xue Chuchu was wiping the table and stools. Jiang Ning waved his hand and the spiritual energy passed over, cleaning them again and heating up the stools at the same time.
The two of them sat around the dining table facing the rising sun. Jiang Ning took a sip of the soup. It was so fresh and hot in the middle of winter, and it warmed him up all over.
He picked up the chopsticks and pointed to the pan-fried dumplings on the plate next to him.
Xue Chuchu found that the pan-fried buns looked very nice, with a layer of golden crispy skin at the bottom and white dough on top.
She took a bite, blew on it, and bit it. It was hot, fragrant and soft, and then filled with beef vermicelli filling.
Seeing her elegant eating manner, Jiang Ning asked, "Is it delicious?"
Xue Chuchu: "Yeah, delicious."
Jiang Ning picked up the bun and dipped it in the fried chili noodles: "It's a good experience to come out for breakfast occasionally."
Of course, if you buy food outside every day, you will get bored easily.
In his previous life, Jiang Ning often ate breakfast outside, mostly alone. Now that he has Chuchu with him, it feels wonderful in a different way. It is a completely different experience from when he was with Tongtong.
Because it is on the roadside, there are people coming and going.
Xue Chuchu was a pretty girl, so naturally people looked at her all the time. However, no one came up to disturb her. Jiang Ning specially chose a small table for two to avoid having to share the table with others.
After breakfast, Xue Chuchu ate four buns, which was more than Jiang Ning. She felt a little embarrassed and took the initiative to pay the bill.
Two young men who had been playing games all night saw this scene and looked at Jiang Ning with some shock and admiration.
Jiang Ning was bathed in the envy of others, with a slight smile on his face.
After Xue Chuchu paid the money, Jiang Ning rode his cool electric scooter and disappeared from everyone's sight.
The next stop is in front of the bus station.
"We're from Tu County, we're from Tu County!" two black car drivers shouted at the intersection.
Xue Chuchu never rides in this type of car. First, it is relatively expensive. Second, the crowds are complicated, and there are usually three people squeezed in the back seat. She can't guarantee that all the people she meets are good people.
She and Jiang Ning walked straight to the ticket hall. Xue Chuchu stopped, her eyes clear and moving, as if she was reluctant to leave: "It's ok, Jiang Ning, you can go back."
Jiang Ning nodded: "Well, be careful on the road."
While speaking, his spiritual sense touched the protective jade pendant on Xue Chuchu's chest. The spiritual power in it was abundant, enough to deal with daily crises.
Thinking of the jade pendant and the little rabbit bracelet that Tongtong had repeatedly strengthened... Jiang Ning pinched out a spell, drew out 20% of his magic power, and popped out a temporary protective magic circle, engraved it around Chuchu.
With such a magic spell protecting her body, she can remain unharmed even if the bus is hit by two large trucks. And if someone has ill intentions, the magic circle will also trigger a killing reaction.
'From the city of Yuzhou to Humiao Town, it is about 65 kilometers. With the speed of the spirit boat, it can be reached within 5 minutes. Even if the magic array kills dozens of people, I can still easily cover it up. ' Jiang Ning thought so.
Xue Chuchu had no idea about this. She took a few steps forward and merged into the crowd, but finally couldn't help but look back.
Jiang Ning stood at the door of the hall, looking over quietly.
Xue Chuchu felt inexplicably at peace, and a faint smile blossomed on her face, melting away the coldness and revealing a hint of sweetness.
