He looked at Wen Zhigu and hesitated: "At that time... why did you leave so suddenly... "
Just when Wen Zhigu was about to answer something, she heard Ji Xubai calling her from behind. Wen Zhigu turned around and saw Ji Xubai walking over and peeling off the transparent candy wrapper of the candied haws he bought for her. Then he handed it to her, then calmly glanced at the person standing in front of Wen Zhigu, and asked, knowingly, "Zhigu, who is this?"
Seeing that he had bought candied haws for himself, Wen Zhigu had no choice but to follow his wishes and introduce him to him: "Teacher Xu, I worked with him in a school in Ancheng for a while."
Teacher Xu noticed that the relationship between them was unusual. Although Wen Zhigu hadn't introduced anything to him yet, Teacher Xu could feel it from their words and deeds.
After Wen Zhigu introduced him, he spoke to Ji Xubai: "This is... my husband."
Ji Xubai was a little unhappy at first. He was quite vindictive, especially since Teacher Xu once liked Wen Zhigu, so he naturally didn't have a good impression of this guy. But when he After hearing Wen Zhigu introduce himself to this person like this, the slightest bit of unhappiness in Ji Xubai's heart was swept away.
He was very satisfied with what Wen Zhigu said, so he corrected his attitude and greeted Teacher Xu.
The two exchanged greetings, and Teacher Xu said that he had other things to be busy with, so he didn't stay any longer. However, Teacher Xu watched Wen Zhigu holding Ji Xubai's hand and leaving, which seemed to be related to him. The Wen Zhigu in my impression is different...
In his impression, Wen Zhigu was a very cold, dignified, and self-reliant woman. Therefore, when he saw that Wen Zhigu today would cling to another man like a little woman.
Teacher Xu wanted to bless Wen Zhigu, but she was a little jealous of the man next to her, so it was too uncomfortable for herself, so it was better to leave early.
No fate...
It probably refers to this kind of sadness.
…
Wen Zhigu was walking on the street, took a few bites of candied haws, then gave it to Ji Xubai to eat, and said a little bored: "It's too sweet."
Ji Xubai took a bite right where she had bitten it, and it tasted sweet, "It's quite delicious."
So Wen Zhigu glanced at him sideways and came to the conclusion: "Only children like to eat."
"Adults also like to eat." Ji Xubai retorted while eating.
Wen Zhigu took a look at the way he was eating candied haws, and thought it was a bit cute, so he couldn't help but smile.
Ji Xubai reached out and held her hand, "What else do you want to eat? After eating, go back and rest."
Of course Wen Zhigu didn't want to go back to the inn, that would be boring, so she took Ji Xubai, who was eating candied haws, to hire a carriage and asked the driver to go to the north gate.
Ji Xubai finished the last bite of candied haws and asked with some confusion: "What are you doing there?"
"Do you want to see the place where I lived when I was a child?" When Wen Zhigu said this, she was also looking forward to it, because she had never returned to Beicheng since she moved to Beicheng with her brother and father when she was fourteen years old. It’s time to pass the Southern Dynasties.
Ji Xubai was stunned for a moment, nodded and smiled, "Okay."
"But my father gave the house to an uncle to take care of. I don't know if anyone still lives in it now."
After all, too many years have passed. No one knows whether the old place will still be the same...
