After breakfast, Ning Junyan went to start the car and turned on the heater.
When Chen Yuncheng got in the car, the temperature in the car was already very high. Ning Junyan in the driver's seat took off his thick down jacket, and there was only a slightly thin gray knitted sweater inside.
The knitted sweater is quite loose, but because of its thinness and drape, it fits Ning Junyan's body, and you can clearly see the shapely contours of his shoulders and arms.
Chen Yuncheng also took off his coat, he was wearing an old brown sweater, the sleeves and hem were frayed with hairballs, and after washing it too many times, it had already faded.
He subconsciously tidied up the badly worn cuffs and turned to look at Ning Junyan, but Ning Junyan's attention was not on him, but was setting the navigation address on his mobile phone.
"Is it here?" Ning Junyan showed him the phone.
Chen Yuncheng nodded when he saw that the destination set by Ning Junyan was the county seat of Zhou Yan's hometown.
Ning Junyan put the phone on the bracket next to the steering wheel, and while turning the steering wheel to let the car drive off the side of the road and merge into the traffic on the street, he said to Chen Yuncheng, "If you're sleepy, sleep for a while, it's still early."
Chen Yuncheng said, "I'm not sleepy." He quietly watched the scenery outside the car window for a while, then turned around and said to Ning Junyan, "When you get tired of driving, let me drive."
Ning Junyan did not answer him.
Chen Yuncheng asked "Huh?" with some doubts, wanting to know what Ning Junyan was thinking.
Ning Junyan looked ahead and said in a flat tone, "Not tired."
Although it is not sleepy, the car is too warm. After the car left the city and entered the expressway, the scenery on both sides of the road became monotonous. Chen Yuncheng leaned on the back of the seat, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleep. .
He didn't sleep very deeply, but intermittently, and he could still continue to sleep when he woke up occasionally.
Until one time, when he woke up, he found that the car was parked in the service area, and Ning Junyan by his side had disappeared.
Chen Yuncheng adjusted his movements and sat up straight, and found that his down jacket was covering his body. It should be that Ning Junyan turned off the fire when he got out of the car, so he covered a piece of clothing for him.
He opened the car door and got out of the car, feeling that the temperature here was at least three or four degrees lower than the urban area, and the cold wind suddenly blew on his face, forcing him to put on his jacket. He took out his mobile phone and glanced at the time, almost two hours had passed since their departure.
It is not the tourist season, and there are not too many cars and people at the service station.
As soon as Chen Yuncheng got out of the car, he saw Ning Junyan walking towards him from a distance with two bottles of mineral water in his hand.
Ning Junyan approached and handed him one of the bottles.
Chen Yuncheng took it and suddenly found that the bottle in Ning Junyan's hand was still frozen. In this cold season, the bottle was also stained with a layer of water mist.
"Isn't it cold?" Chen Yuncheng lowered his head and gestured to the ice water in his hand.
"No," Ning Junyan answered him, then unscrewed the bottle cap, raised his head and took a sip of water, and continued, "I'm used to it."
Chen Yuncheng knew that he studied abroad a few years ago, and thought it was a habit he developed at that time, so he did not continue to ask. Chen Yuncheng also unscrewed the cap himself. When the mineral water flowed into his throat, he realized that he was thirsty, so he drank half the bottle in one go.
Ning Junyan looked at him quietly.
When Chen Yuncheng moved the mouth of the bottle away from the corner of his mouth, he felt that there was still some water on his lips, so he turned to his side, slightly avoiding Ning Junyan's sight, and wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.
Ning Junyan asked him at this time, "Are you still resting?"
Chen Yuncheng shook his head, "I don't need to rest, do you want to sleep for a while and let me drive?"
Ning Junyan looked at him and still said, "I'm not tired."
Chen Yuncheng suddenly felt that Ning Junyan's gaze was too straightforward, he couldn't help lowering his head, as if to confirm whether the cap of the mineral water bottle was tightened, loosened it and twisted it again, and said, "Then let's go. Bar."
Ning Junyan asked him, "Do you want to go to the bathroom? The next rest area is quite far away."
Chen Yuncheng looked back at the direction of the bathroom and nodded.
When he turned to leave, Ning Junyan suddenly raised his hand and grabbed his wrist. Chen Yuncheng was taken aback and looked at Ning Junyan.
Ning Junyan's hand holding his wrist slid towards his palm, took the bottle he was holding in his hand, and said to him, "Don't bring the water bottle in."
Chen Yuncheng could only laugh, to hide his surprise just now, and said, "Okay." He turned and walked towards the bathroom, putting both hands into the pockets of his down jacket, but the touch of Ning Junyan's hand in his hand was still obvious.
Ning Junyan's palms and fingers had very rough calluses, which may have been sharpened by a scalpel, but his palms were very hot, and it didn't look like he was in this cold winter at all.
When he came out of the bathroom to wash his hands, Chen Yuncheng saw a large mirror in front of the sink. He looked at himself in the mirror. He was a handsome young man, but his hair hadn't been trimmed for a long time. Too energetic, and the clothes are old, the down in the down jacket is probably almost gone, and only a thin layer is left on the body and it is not very warm.
He looks like a small worker in a car wash, and Ning Junyan is the owner of a luxury car. He parked the car in front of the car wash, handed him the car key, and didn't even look at his face.
They are like people from two worlds.
Chen Yuncheng had nowhere to wipe the water in his hands, so he shook it and walked directly to the parking lot. As he walked, he thought, if it wasn't for the accident that Ning Junyan encountered when he was a child, they would have belonged to two worlds.
Back in the car, Ning Junyan was still driving. Chen Yuncheng sat in the co-pilot but lost sleep, and opened his eyes to see the repeated scenery and roads.
Ning Junyan turned on the music in the car, it was all very quiet pure music.
Chen Yuncheng asked him, "Isn't it sleepy?"
"No," Ning Junyan answered succinctly.
Chen Yuncheng thought for a while, and then said, "It's a waste of your time."
Ning Junyan's posture seemed relaxed. He looked ahead and still replied, "No."
Chen Yuncheng said, "You said your vacation is precious."
Ning Junyan's eyelashes drooped slightly, but his expression didn't change, but there was a faint smile in his eyes, which couldn't be seen from Chen Yuncheng's point of view, he said, "It's not a waste for you."
Chen Yuncheng was quiet for a while, then slowly turned his face away to look at the car window on the right, his hand beside his leg clenched and loosened, he thought he shouldn't ask. So he stopped talking.
For the next three hours, there was music playing in the car, Ning Junyan really did not show the slightest tiredness as he said.
They only stopped at two service stations for a short time, and then drove down the expressway all the way. Before 1:00 noon, they got off the expressway from the exit of Zhou Yan's home county.
