High-speed train, window seat.
"It's all right..."
What kind of answer is this? Pei Yujing's train of thought is difficult to understand.
'Maybe he heard it wrong...' Pei Yujing thought so.
She organized her words and asked again: "Jiang Ning, after the high-speed train stops running, which city do you plan to leave from?"
Jiang Ning has read the random reply: "Walk out of the station with your legs."
Pei Yujing was stunned and said, "Can you tell me more details?"
Jiang Ning: "Sure. I will decide whether to take the left or right foot first based on the actual situation and my personal preference."
Okay, now Pei Yujing shuts up.
Jiang Ning remained motionless, silently scanning her with his spiritual sense, thinking: "You also have times when you are speechless?"
In his previous life, when he was getting along with Pei Yujing, the other party was calm and composed, which made Jiang Ning seem young and immature. However, it was normal. In most cases, young girls were indeed more mature than boys of the same age.
Moreover, Pei Yujing is indeed much better than Jiang Ning in terms of secularly defined rules.
So Jiang Ning was very self-aware and chose to give up. Until the last time they parted in the park, he still didn't see Pei Yujing show any special emotions towards him.
I remember the last time I heard anything about Pei Yujing was a few months later when Sister Ma sent me a WeChat message, "Xiao Jiang, Jingjing asked me why you haven't contacted her recently."
The authenticity of this sentence cannot be verified, but according to Jiang Ning's estimation, it is most likely that Sister Ma deliberately made it up.
After the Shen Qing'e incident, he no longer wanted to try hard to impress girls. The more he put in, the greater the backlash would be in the end.
Jiang Ning’s reply at the time was, ‘I want to be quiet’.
So, we never met again.
now.
Pei Yujing received a random reply from Jiang Ning.
She sat quietly in her seat for a while, then put down the small table. There was a pull ring on the back of her phone case. After pulling it up, the phone could be placed horizontally and used as a stand.
The screen of her mobile phone was playing the scene of a famous teacher giving a lecture, and she gradually immersed herself in it and watched intently.
Although Pei Yujing is beautiful, she has a cold personality, is unwilling to socialize, and likes to retreat when faced with problems, so she has no friends.
Her family runs a barbecue restaurant, and her classmates would tease her when she was in junior high school, which further affected her worldview. However, she has never been bullied because Sister Ma, who runs the barbecue restaurant, is a heroine. She is not afraid of gangsters making trouble, let alone those students.
Jiang Ning glanced at her again. Pei Yujing was sitting comfortably in the speeding carriage, with her long black hair covering her shoulders. Even when Jiang Ning's spiritual sense passed through her, he could still vaguely feel the softness.
"No wonder I was so upset in my previous life when I learned that her hair had to be cut short because the Will-O-W-O boy had stuck her with gum..."
Suddenly, Jiang Ning's expression froze and his eyes narrowed.
When he was a student in his previous life, he was not harassed by the will-o'-the-wisp boys because of the protection of his cousin. But why in this life, whenever he saw the will-o'-the-wisp boys, he couldn't help setting off fireworks for them?
'If you think in this way, the results of this life are subtly influenced by the causes of the previous life.'
Jiang Ning felt inexplicably disappointed.
Everything around her has nothing to do with Pei Yujing. She seems to be independent of time, immersed in the world of online classes.
Jiang Ning discovered that the phone she used was an iPhone 6 Plus, which was quite normal when he thought about it. Sister Ma's barbecue tasted great, and she could easily make to yuan a month. Pei Yujing often helped out, and her salary alone was enough to buy her things.
Pei Yujing had no idea what Jiang Ning was thinking, she was immersed in her studies.
She likes studying very much, and as long as she studies, she will not feel lonely.
Even though she helped the family every day, which took up a lot of her time, she was still able to get into the experimental class because she was addicted to studying.
"Ladies and gentlemen, hello, your train is about to arrive at Ancheng Station. Passengers who are getting off at Ancheng Station, please prepare to get off in advance..."
Ancheng was not the stop where Jiang Ning was going to get off. As soon as the announcement sounded, the old lady immediately picked up her suitcase and rushed to the door, as if she didn't want to stay for even a second.
A little boy asked a big question: "Dad, why do people leave their seats and go to the aisle to wait every time the high-speed train arrives at the station? It's obviously only going to stop in a few minutes!"
The little boy's father was very polite. He patiently explained: "Because the high-speed train stops for a short time, and there are many passengers waiting outside the carriage, if you don't get off early, they will squeeze in."
The boy's mother said: "Another point is that if you get off the bus earlier, you can get a taxi first. You will have to stand in the car for a few minutes less. You may have to wait for a taxi for half an hour after you get off the bus."
The little boy suddenly understood, and his parents smiled with satisfaction. What a picture of a happy family reunion!
Suddenly, someone in a corner said, "Is it possible that she got off the bus in such a hurry because she was afraid of being beaten?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene froze.
Many eyes were focused on Jiang Ning's position.
Jiang Ning declared: "I generally don't hit people unless there are special circumstances."
The tourists were amused. They didn't expect that this vicious man would actually play a joke on them.
As old passengers get off and new passengers get on, the high-speed train starts again.
What is most common on high-speed trains are business people talking loudly on their phones and noisy children.
In the former case, Jiang Ning used his magic power to cut off the power of his mobile phone.
As for the latter, Jiang Ning turned his head and shouted at a little girl who was making noises across the aisle: "Shut up!"
Generally speaking, parents who raise noisy children are often of poor quality themselves.
The little girl's father looked serious. He frowned and said, "No, why are you arguing with a little kid?"
Jiang Ningjing sat quietly: "You also shut up."
The little girl's father stood up suddenly, swung his arm, took off his coat, and was ready to take action.
The little girl was lawless: "Dad, he scared me!"
Before Jiang Ning could react, two enthusiastic passengers nearby quickly held down the little girl's father and said, "Brother, don't do it! Someone caused trouble on the last bus and was thrown off the bus by him."
"He really dares to hit people. If you don't believe me, ask the people around him!"
"Thrown it down?" The little girl's father couldn't believe it.
"Yes, they just pulled him by the hair and threw him out of the door." The enthusiastic uncle who had earlier persuaded people to give up their seats continued to persuade: "Brother, it's New Year's Day, I advise you to be kind!"
The little girl's father looked at the enthusiastic uncle's physique, weighed the pros and cons in his mind, put his coat back on, and sat back in his original seat.
Jiang Ning withdrew his gaze. Unless the situation was too extreme, he was too lazy to take action now. After all, he still liked a peaceful life.
The atmosphere in the carriage gradually became quieter. A girl with single eyelids nearby was typing a message to her good friend: "Lulu, God! I'm so lucky. I got to sit in the silent carriage today!"
Yuzhou, Geng Lu: "Ah, silent carriage? Is there any special material that can absorb the sound?"
Has today's civilian technology developed to a level she has never heard of?
The girl with single eyelids stole a glance at Jiang Ning and said, "No, it's just that whenever someone dares to make a noise, there's a cool boy who makes them shut up."
Geng Lu: "Ah, this..."
...
The train was running smoothly. Jiang Ning untied the bag from his backpack, took out some fruit snacks to pass the time, and placed them on the small table one by one, filling it up.
First up are the strawberries stacked in the bowl, their color as bright red as glass, their pieces bigger than eggs, with a few drops of dew on their surface, making them look even more juicy and green.
Next to the strawberries were the duck products that Jiang Ning had asked Changqingye to invite by their chef to help braise, including duck hearts, duck gizzards, duck tongues, etc. The surfaces of these braised products were dyed with sauce, giving them an attractive luster.
Although it is a bit strange to pair strawberries with braised duck, it is quite suitable as at least both meat and vegetables are included.
Jiang Ning picked up a piece of duck gizzard with chopsticks. This gizzard came from wild drakes fighting for love in Qingyu Lake. It tasted slightly crispy and chewy. It was fully soaked in the carefully prepared marinade, making the duck gizzard quite tasty and rich in flavor.
Jiang Ning ate several pieces, while Pei Yujing beside him was still reading a book.
Jiang Ning thought to himself: "Kid, you are possessed by a demon!"
He decided to help Pei Yujing practice.
He quietly brought out the aroma of the braised food, which floated to Pei Yujing's nose.
Pei Yujing herself has a high resistance, as she is the daughter of a barbecue restaurant. Unfortunately, Jiang Ning was enjoying the premium duck, and Pei Yujing had not eaten dinner. It was now past 8 o'clock in the evening, and she was hungry.
She glanced at him vaguely with the corner of her eye for half a second, which was caught by Jiang Ning's eyes.
When their eyes met, Pei Yujing quickly turned away and continued studying.
However, she couldn't study any more now. The increasingly strong fragrance made her steal glances frequently.
Jiang Ning took a bite of strawberry and asked casually, "Didn't you have dinner tonight?"
Pei Yujing didn't want to accept his kindness anymore, so she replied: "I've already eaten."
Jiang Ning: "Eat something."
Pei Yujing: "I'll go to my grandmother's house for dinner later."
Jiang Ning: "Didn't you say you had dinner tonight?"
Pei Yujing clasped her fingers together and said nothing: "..."
Jiang Ning held the chopsticks and tapped them gently: "Haha, let me guess, when you get to your grandma's house, your grandma will ask, 'Jingjing, have you eaten yet?' You will definitely say, 'I ate outside', and then you will be hungry all night, right?"
Pei Yujing stared at Jiang Ning, feeling uneasy as if she had been seen through. "How could he know that I didn't want to trouble my grandmother and the others?"
Jiang Ning shook his head: "You are really awkward."
Pei Yujing did not refute. She always felt that if she asked her grandmother to save some food for her at night, they would think she was a troublesome person. Instead of that, it would be better for her to starve herself. She would not die anyway.
After Jiang Ning taught her a lesson, he suddenly realized that it was the same when he lived in his uncle's house in his previous life.
A faint melancholy rose in his heart, and he took out two plastic cups: "Go to the front and get me two cups of hot water, and I'll treat you to a snack."
Pei Yujing said: "It's not worth it."
Jiang Ning: "I'm too lazy to move, just think of it as you giving me a glass of water in the desert."
After hearing this, Pei Yujing did not insist anymore. She stood up with the help of the handle. As she stretched her body, her long black hair flowed like a waterfall, gently brushing her waist.
Jiang Ning thought: "It's really beautiful."
The next second, he was angry again: "Damn you ghost-fire yellow-haired guy."
……
River dam, bungalow.
Xue Yuantong's request for ice cream was cruelly rejected by her mother, but she was not angry. As long as she had money, she could eat as much ice cream as she wanted.
Unfortunately, she used her money to buy clothes for her mother today, and before Jiang Ning left, he cheated her of the little money she had left.
I don't have a penny in my pocket now.
Boss Yang's strawberry garden will be closed tomorrow, so she won't be able to work part-time as a keeper.
Besides, even if they were hired again, Chuchu would not be willing to go.
So during the New Year's Day, Xue Yuantong was out of food.
Xue Yuantong held her mother's arm, her eyes reflecting the warm light of an incandescent lamp: "Mom, how much New Year's money are you going to give me this year? Twenty, or fifty?"
Although prices have gone up a lot now, in the past one or two years, when she bought snacks, she often bought very cheap generic biscuits and potato chips. Slightly better ones would be the Panpan milk-flavored chicken nuggets and potato chips, which cost a few dollars a bag and could last a day, so dozens of dollars was a huge sum of money.
Aunt Gu glanced at her daughter and said indifferently, "Haha, is this all you can do?"
The next moment, she said casually: "I'll give you two thousand yuan."
Xue Yuantong was shocked. Two thousand yuan was a huge sum of money! The snacks bought with this money could fill up her cabinet!
"Really? Then I'll be so unhappy! I spend one dollar and throw one dollar away!" Xue Yuantong looked at his mother in surprise.
After hearing this, Aunt Gu looked at her daughter's hopeless appearance and changed her mind: "I have prepared two thousand yuan for this year's New Year's money. You and Jiang Ning will each get half, one thousand for you and one thousand for him."
Then she warned: "If I find you buying ice cream, I will take it back!"
Xue Yuantong was startled and asked again: "What if Jiang Ning buys me ice cream?"
Aunt Gu: "Not for him."
After hearing this, Xue Yuantong made a plan in her mind. She distanced herself from her mother and sent a message to Jiang Ning.
in the carriage.
Jiang Ning saw his cell phone vibrate, so he picked it up and took a look.
"Jiang Ning, if you suddenly got a thousand yuan, what would you buy?"
Seeing this message, Jiang Ning replied casually: "Buy what I want."
Xue Yuantong: "What about me?"
Jiang Ning: "Why, you want my money? You are so brave!"
Xue Yuantong: "You already have a thousand yuan, don't you want to buy me an ice cream?"
She started to bring up the past: "When you went back to your hometown the day before yesterday, I watered your flowers, dried your quilts, cleaned your room, helped you with your winter vacation homework, and when you came back to Heba, I made you delicious food. The Tom and Jerry you are watching now was downloaded by me, and I packed your clothes. Could it be that you have the heart to let me down?"
Jiang Ning: “…”
What could he say in reply?
"All in, spend a thousand bucks on ice cream. We'll eat it once in the morning and once in the evening, and we'll have a wonderful life."
Tongtong smiled happily.
"But..." She thought to herself, "I'm sorry, Jiang Ning, I still have to control my money!"
She immediately took a screenshot of Jiang Ning's message and showed it to her mother: "Mom, look how much Jiang Ning went too far. He insisted on buying ice cream. Alas, I couldn't persuade him, so Mom, your two thousand yuan..."
Aunt Gu looked at her and said, "Jiang Ning is already like this, I can't imagine what you are like, I won't give you any New Year's money this year."
