From the time he made the call to when Yuan Zhou finished cleaning up, it only took twenty minutes.
"I wonder how long it will take for my future girlfriend to clean up when she goes out." Yuan Zhou was very curious.
While thinking about it, Yuan Zhou was dressed very casually this time, wearing clean khaki casual pants and a white T-shirt. He stood at the intersection waiting for Jiang Changxi.
After a while, a green taxi stopped in front of Yuan Zhou with a hiss.
"Oh, you look very handsome. Are you going home for a blind date?" Jiang Changxi didn't come out. She directly opened the back door and said teasingly when she saw Yuan Zhou.
"No, I do this every day." Yuan Zhou said with a serious face.
"Haha, Boss Yuan is narcissistic too." Jiang Changxi smiled and sat down, letting Yuan Zhou in.
"No, I'm just telling the truth." After Yuan Zhou sat in, his back was straight.
"Okay, this is just a joke, relax." Jiang Changxi looked at Yuan Zhou amusedly.
"Well, thank you, how much is the fare?" The car started slowly, Yuan Zhou looked at the closed meter and asked suddenly.
"Three hundred yuan for a round trip, plus extra if you wait." Jiang Changxi said simply.
"Master, please wait a moment. I'll go back directly in the evening." Yuan Zhou thought about where he needed to go before saying.
"Okay, don't worry, I will definitely give a good price to Chang Xi's friend." Master Bai turned around and said to Yuan Zhou with a smile while waiting for the traffic light.
"Trouble." Yuan Zhou said politely.
"You're welcome, young man." Master Bai smiled and didn't know what he thought or misunderstood.
"Yes." Yuan Zhou nodded in agreement.
The red light ended and the car continued to move forward, but it was very quiet inside.
Jiang Changxi had a tired look on her face, and there were some unnoticeable dark circles under her eyes up close. After teasing Yuan Zhou, she leaned back on the chair and closed her eyes to rest.
Yuan Zhou, on the other hand, sat quietly in the back seat.
In fact, Rongcheng is not far from Meishan. Even if you take a bus, it only takes a little more than an hour. By car, it is even closer, forty minutes is enough.
But Yuanzhou hasn't been back for six years, that is, he hasn't been back since he graduated from high school.
Meishan was Yuan Zhou's hometown. At that time, Yuan Zhou didn't want to go back even during the New Year. There was no house there, and his parents didn't have any relatives there.
Even Yuan Zhou's parents only go back to burn incense during the Qingming Festival. Basically, Yuan Zhou is either studying or thinks it doesn't matter if he goes back next time.
Yuan Zhou would not go back after his parents passed away, it would be too touching and sad.
After seeing Li Jing this time, it suddenly brought back Yuan Zhou's long-standing memories.
In fact, it is not only sad, but also happy.
Whether it’s the warm memories with family or with classmates and friends, the good always outweigh the bad.
Therefore, Yuanzhou decided to return to his hometown in a hurry.
But there is nothing hurried about returning home.
"Young man, we've arrived at Meishan. Where do you want to get off?" Master Bai's words interrupted Yuan Zhou's thoughts.
"It's pretty fast. Where are you going, Boss Yuan?" Jiang Changxi sat up and asked curiously.
"I'm just off Jinyi Road, where are you?" Yuan Zhou directly said the main street of Meishan, then turned to look at Jiang Changxi.
"I'll go with you first." Jiang Changxi looked at the time before saying.
"Okay, we'll be there soon." Master Bai shouted, and the car drove smoothly towards the main street.
Although the ground in Meishan is not an asphalt road, it is still flat cement. The shops on both sides of the street look a bit old.
"It looks pretty good." Jiang Changxi, who was also visiting Meishan for the first time, said smoothly as she got out of the car.
"Not bad, the things here are quite complete." Yuan Zhou took over the conversation and said.
"Oh?" Jiang Changxi nodded.
Jiang Changxi suddenly opened up Yuan Zhou's conversation.
Perhaps it was because the place was so familiar that even the small shops here had not changed. Yuanzhou suddenly became interested in talking about it and introduced them directly.
"Speaking of which, I often come here, but this photo studio is ugly for taking pictures, and it's still open." Yuan Zhou rarely smiled when he said this.
"You said it doesn't look good, so it probably means it doesn't look good." Jiang Changxi also agreed.
"Of course, but the photographer here is very interesting." Yuan Zhou recalled the photographer's witty remarks and fair remarks when he once took a photo.
"Have you seen this one? This is an Internet cafe. It looks like it has a license now." Yuan Zhou pointed to the store with the signboard "Heng Lung Internet Cafe" hanging in front of it and said.
"It turns out that there is a stall here. The owner is a generous aunt who likes to drink. The hot and sour noodles are very delicious. I used to eat a bowl every day after school."
"It's changed. We turned a few empty rooms into one. The secret base is here."
"Haha, this one won't change. You see, the one here that was struck by lightning is very unique."
"When renting a bookstore, the deposit is 10 yuan, which is 1 yuan a day. The teacher paid it for class, and the 10 yuan deposit is gone. I have been sad for a long time."
Immediately afterwards, Yuan Zhou introduced all the shops on the main street.
This is the first time Jiang Changxi has seen Yuan Zhou like this. He is a chatty person, but he is surprisingly popular.
After walking down the small street, you can vaguely see several white and shabby buildings in front of you.
"The school is right ahead. Do you want to go take a look?" Yuan Zhou said standing at the end of the street.
"Okay." Jiang Changxi nodded without hesitation.
"I used to study here, but now it's closed." Yuan Zhou's tone was full of nostalgia and unknown sadness.
"Then the quality of this house is good." Jiang Changxi sighed suddenly and irrelevantly.
"Huh?" Yuan Zhou looked confused.
"You must have been in the 1980s when you were studying." Jiang Changxi looked at Yuan Zhou carefully and said.
"..." Yuanzhou felt that all the atmosphere was gone.
Without saying a word, he led people into the school.
Jiang Changxi followed quietly.
"It looks like it's all rotten. There used to be a few wooden buildings here, which were pavilions." Yuan Zhou pointed to a few pieces of rotten wood and said.
"Yes." Jiang Changxi nodded silently.
"This is a teaching building, but our school does not have a library." Yuan Zhou pointed to the main building and introduced almost every place, much like a full-time tour guide.
"Very good." Jiang Changxi was also a serious listener.
The sky gradually darkened, and the two of them wandered like this for several hours.
During this period, Jiang Changxi listened quietly, while Yuan Zhou spoke in high spirits. It seemed that the two of them were in harmony.
"Speaking of which, we all live on campus. The boys' dormitory is pretty good, with six-person dormitories." Yuan Zhou pointed to the one behind the teaching building.
Lou said.
"Gu." Just when Jiang Changxi was about to speak, her stomach suddenly made an inappropriate sound.
The two were silent for a while.
This sound broke Yuan Zhou's mood just now, and he realized that he had been talking like this for several hours.
Looking at Jiang Changxi, she still looked as usual, not bored at all. Now Yuanzhou felt a little embarrassed. After all, it is very annoying to listen to others.
What's more, it's just a few hours of listening to someone rambling.
"Sorry, let me treat you to dinner." Yuan Zhou frowned and said seriously.
He was a little dissatisfied with his behavior and wanted to compensate Jiang Changxi.
"Haha, it's okay. Don't you still want to show me your dormitory?" Jiang Changxi pointed to the abandoned building nearby.
"It's okay, there's no one around anyway." Yuan Zhou glanced at the old building and sounded a little disappointed.
"You still have classmates. I guess you are doing the best now. Why don't you hold a class reunion or something to show off?" Jiang Changxi suggested with a smile.
"What an honest suggestion." Yuan Zhou said that he was speechless.
"Of course, conscientious people, conscientious advice." Jiang Changxi said narrowly.
"You have completely ruined the atmosphere." Yuan Zhou was speechless.
After a while, Yuan Zhou silently said, "Thank you for the comfort."
"You're welcome, I'm doing a good job as your close friend." Jiang Changxi smiled, showing her unobvious dimples.
"Not bad." Yuan Zhou nodded.
