This time, Chen hansheng did not call Wang Zibo along to return to Jian ‘e. He took the long bus alone for more than five hours. It was already past six O’ clock in the evening when they arrived at the school.
The sky was gloomy, and it was drizzling. Although it wasn’t heavy, it was uncomfortable to feel sticky all over.
Chen hansheng cursed in his heart. Jianmo was like this. When it rained, the historical atmosphere of the ancient capital of the six dynasties would fill the air. It could not be caught or seen, but it could always be felt.
When he was in a good mood, he could even compose a poem;When one was in a bad mood, it would only add to the loneliness.
Chen hansheng ran back to the dormitory in the rain. When he passed the library, he suddenly saw a familiar figure and shouted, “”Stop!”
Shen youchu had just finished her part-time job at the library. After a day of arranging books, her arms were sore. She was about to go to the cafeteria for lunch and then go back to her dormitory to review her homework when she suddenly heard a fierce voice.
It seemed to be a man, and he looked a little familiar.
Shen youchu carefully turned around and saw Chen hansheng standing behind him. He was so shocked that he almost dropped his umbrella.
“It’s not like I’m going to eat you up. Why do you have such an expression? Looking at Shen youchu’s guarded face, Chen hansheng was even more unhappy.
“No, I didn’t.”
Shen youchu did not dare to face Chen hansheng directly, so he turned half his body.
Chen hansheng snorted and stared at Shen youchu. Suddenly, he said, “I don’t want to eat alone tonight, so accompany me. ‘
“Ah?”
Shen youchu raised her head in a panic. The last time she ate at the same table as Chen hansheng was a nightmare for her.
“What, you don’t want to?”
Chen hansheng’s attitude was overbearing and a little bad.
Shen youchu didn’t say a word. Under the umbrella, her peach-shaped eyes were already a little wet, and her red lips were tightly pursed.
“Damn, I really want to take a deep breath. It must taste very sweet.”
Chen hansheng finally shifted his gaze away from Shen youchu’s mouth and said in a serious tone, ‘”We’re classmates, after all, so we should help each other. I’m not in a good mood today, so how about you treat me to a meal?”
Shen youchu raised his head, feeling wronged. He wanted to say something but didn’t dare to. After hesitating for a while, he finally said in a low voice, ‘”‘Then, then what do you want to eat?”
Shen youchu probably wanted to return the favor because Chen hansheng had helped her pay for the class fees. Originally, she had planned to return the money after she had received the income from the part-time job.
However, to Chen hansheng, this did not matter. In any case, they were going to be a couple in the future. He suggested, “”Recently, the second canteen has a new hot pot. Let’s go and have a taste.”
“Oh, how much is that?”
This was the question that Shen youchu was most concerned about.
“The mutton and shrimp together cost about 50 yuan.”
Chen hansheng threw out an ” astronomical figure.
Shen youchu was stunned for a moment before he replied, “”1 want to go back to the dormitory for a while, can I?”
Chen hansheng thought that she was going to change her clothes. Shen youchu was still wearing the old and loose work uniform from the library.
“Alright, come back quickly.”
After a while, Shen youchu jogged back, but he didn’t have an umbrella in his hand. His hair was wet with rain, and he hadn’t changed his clothes.
“Where’s your umbrella?” Chen hansheng asked.
“My roommate is going to Yi Wu commodity Center, so I lent her my umbrella.”
Shen youchu explained softly.
“Don’t you need it?”
Chen hansheng did not know why, but when he saw Shen youchu like this, he became very angry and his voice unknowingly became louder.
“I’ll be in school, it’s fine.’
Shen youchu was shocked and waved her little hand as she explained. “Come here and support me together.”
Chen hansheng put on a serious face and handed over some of the umbrellas.
Shen youchu pretended not to hear him and walked quickly in the rain. It seemed like she would rather be drenched than share an umbrella with Chen hansheng.
“You’re walking so fast. I’m carrying so much luggage, how can I keep up?
Chen hansheng suddenly shouted.
“Oh.”
Shen youchu slowed down obediently. Suddenly, he felt that the rain had stopped. Chen hansheng had already tilted the umbrella.
She was about to walk out, but Chen hansheng glared at her, so she could only walk under the umbrella with her body bound.
There were very few students during the holidays. The entire campus was wet, and the air was mixed with the smell of green plants and soil. It was fresh and moist, quiet and cool. From time to time, couples who were holding an umbrella would walk past each other, just like Chen hansheng and Shen youchu.
When they arrived at the second canteen, Chen hansheng’s depressed mood actually improved. To use an inappropriate metaphor to describe it, the best way to forget a relationship was to start another one.
The two of them found a seat by the window to make it easier for Chen hansheng to smoke. When they were ordering, Shen youchu took out a small worn-out wallet from his pocket and carefully took out the money inside. Even the coins were lined up in a row.
This sumptuous hot pot meal at school cost 53 Yuan, and Shen youchu had almost emptied out his entire fortune. That ” old and worn wallet ” had become an ” empty and worn out wallet “.
“Did you go back to the dormitory just to get the money?”
Chen hansheng reacted and asked.
“Yes.”
Shen youchu replied in a low voice, then picked up the plate and walked to his seat.
silly fool!
Chen hansheng was stunned for a moment and muttered to himself.
Although the mini hotpot in the second canteen was a new dish, it had always been very popular, especially in such weather. It was really a pleasure to listen to the sound of the drizzle hitting the window and watch the meat boiling in the boiling water.
Chen hansheng did not eat much in the car at noon and was hungry. He took a bowl of rice and started eating, but he put down his chopsticks after a while.
“Are you not hungry?” Chen hansheng asked.
Shen youchu didn’t eat a single bite of meat. She held a 30-cent bowl of plain white rice in her hands and occasionally rinsed some green vegetables. There was already a pile of shrimp shells and bones in front of Chen hansheng, but
me slue 01 ner DOWL was Still clean. Shen youchu shook his head and didn’t speak.
“This is really strange.”
Chen hansheng shook his head and picked up his chopsticks again. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind, and he stared at Shen youchu with bright eyes.
“You’re waiting for me to eat my fill before you eat, aren’t you?”
Shen youchu blushed and didn’t respond. She didn’t even pick up any vegetables.
The rain continued to fall, and it seemed to turn into a warm current that flowed into Chen hansheng’s heart. Yesterday, Xiao rongyu came all the way to bring him a drink, and today, Shen youchu waited for him to finish eating before moving his chopsticks.
Chen hansheng sighed. this hotpot cost you your living expenses. What are you going to do in the future? ” he asked.
He already had a plan in mind, but he wanted to hear what Shen youchu thought.
I still have 100 yuan sewn into my bag. I can earn money by tidying up the bookshelves in the library. I can also work part-time in the cafeteria at night. That way, I can save money for my meals.
Shen youchu said in a soft voice. He had made proper arrangements for himself, but it was hard on him.
“Then, will you blame me for eating up all your savings?
Chen hansheng asked again.
Shen youchu’s eyes widened as she shook her head. Her peach-shaped eyes were pure and charming. She had a beautiful oval face, and the dim yellow light in the canteen shone on her white and flawless skin, giving her a frozen beauty.
Chen hansheng’s heart moved, and he could not help but say, “”Why don’t you be my girlfriend?”
“Crash! ”
Shen youchu was so frightened that she knocked over her rice bowl, and the soup splashed on her skin. She almost cried out loud.
“I, I only ate two pieces of vegetables. Can you not force me to date?”
