Xue Chuchu didn't really want Tongtong to come to the house she rented.
Deep down, she felt inferior and didn't want Tongtong to see her living in such a shabby manner.
Since she entered the first year of high school, no classmates have ever come to her house to play.
Previously, her deskmate Mu Ying had invited her to visit her home, but Xue Chuchu declined.
She thought that if she went to Mu Ying's house, then if Mu Ying came to her house, she would not be able to refuse.
In fact, she had had this thought about Xue Yuantong, but she had been to Tongtong's house more than once and had eaten a lot of delicious food.
"Alas." Xue Chuchu sighed. If she had known this earlier, she would definitely not wash the clothes and go straight downstairs to the river dam.
But she didn't expect that Tongtong and Jiang Ning would reconcile so quickly.
Tongtong is a little disappointing.
She can't just leave her clothes halfway washed.
Xue Chuchu went to the window and saw that the quarrel between the old man and the young man outside had disappeared. It seemed that they had called a truce.
However, according to Xue Chuchu's estimation, they might continue to quarrel at night.
"I hope they won't quarrel when Tongtong comes, otherwise it will affect my mood."
Xue Chuchu was looking forward to it.
"I'll go downstairs to pick you up now." After sending the message, Xue Chuchu hurried out of the bedroom. She planned to change her slippers.
Although the house her family rented was very shabby, she still kept it tidy and clean.
The QQ message notification sounded, and Xue Yuantong said:
"No need to pick me up."
Xue Chuchu: "Do you know where I live?"
A few hundred meters away, Xue Yuantong was sitting on the back seat of a mountain bike. She held Jiang Ning with one hand and played with her mobile phone with the other, but her hands were too small, so typing was a little difficult.
She struggled to type out a line of words:
"Yes, I know. Last time Aunt Hua came to my house, she mentioned where you lived during dinner. I remember it clearly."
Xue Yuantong was proud of her memory.
After sending the message, she deliberately looked at Jiang Ning's back and told him with her eyes that she still remembered all the bad things he had done to me and how he had annoyed me in the past!
Xue Chuchu said: "Even if you knew, it's not easy to find my house. The buildings here are very messy."
Cities are not like rural areas. In rural areas, each household is a family and neighbors are familiar with each other. If a stranger comes, he can find the target by just asking someone.
In cities, old town areas are usually run-down and messy, filled with tall buildings, and neighbors are unfamiliar, making it very difficult to find people.
"It doesn't matter. I'll let Jiang Ning tell my fortune."
When Xue Chuchu saw Tongtong's message, she was confused for a moment. She knew that Jiang Ning was good at chess and fishing, but fortune-telling was a bit beyond her scope.
She couldn't understand, is this something a high school student could master
Besides, finding her home address through fortune-telling sounds a bit weird.
She felt very unreliable: "I'd better pick you up."
Xue Yuantong: "Don't do that. This is a test for Jiang Ning. Who told him to sleep in this morning?"
Xue Chuchu thought about it for a while and didn't insist: "Okay, I'll wait for your news at any time."
She had already made plans to let Tongtong look for a while, and when she couldn't find it, she would go downstairs to pick Tongtong up. "
She took this opportunity to prepare two pairs of slippers.
However, Xue Chuchu suddenly remembered that she didn't have enough slippers at home.
"Forget it. The house is so old. If they come in, it will be ridiculous to ask them to wear slippers!"
Xue Chuchu gave up the plan.
In order to prevent the two from thinking too much, she found a pair of white sneakers and put them on.
Outside the building.
Xue Yuantong sat steadily on the mountain bike.
Compared with the skyscrapers in the city, the nearby buildings are obviously much shorter. The already narrow roads are lined with parked cars, squeezing the space, and there is almost no green space.
There are many pedestrians, bicycles, electric vehicles and cars on the road.
A few boys around fifteen or sixteen years old gathered on the roadside, smoking cigarettes with defiant looks on their faces, as if they were thinking about something.
The combination of Xue Yuantong and Jiang Ning attracted their attention.
Xue Yuantong didn't look at it for long. She didn't want to cause trouble for Jiang Ning. When she was in junior high school, she had encountered people being blocked on the roadside.
She listened to her classmates' gossip and learned a lot of cruel things. Just listening to them made people feel fear and pity.
In this world, there is a type of people who are born bad.
Maybe just a few glances could anger them.
There were a few people on the roadside. One of the boys showed a disdainful expression after noticing them. It was really unpleasant to see people riding a bike with a little girl.
If it was at night and there were fewer people around, he might have just walked up and kicked the two men down.
By the way, take a short video and post it on the platform to attract others' praise.
He stared at the two of them with disdain and took another puff of his cigarette.
However, when he smoked again, he strangely put the cigarette butt to his mouth, and the burning hot cigarette butt hit his mouth suddenly, burning it black.
The next moment, a scream was heard and he jumped off the curb in pain.
When he fell from the curb, he stepped on the manhole cover and fell directly into the sewer along with the manhole cover. The figure disappeared from the ground in an instant.
A few boys nearby were shocked when they saw their companion fall into the sewer. Then they gathered at the side of the well and looked at the boy in the well. The boy was fine, but his body was stuck in the sewage and he kept struggling. A pungent smell of dirt was coming out.
There were sounds of gloating laughter.
At this time, Jiang Ning was already two hundred meters away, so Xue Yuantong naturally didn't know what had just happened.
Jiang Ning rode his mountain bike, moving along the road with ease.
That was what he did just now. Ever since his spiritual consciousness broke through to the "Lamp Burning" realm, his spiritual consciousness ability has been able to interfere with the souls of ordinary people, enough to make people careless for a moment.
And a moment is enough to accomplish many things.
The other party dared to look at him with that kind of eyes. If it happened in the world of immortal cultivation, it would be common for some powerful cultivators to directly destroy the other party.
He is not strong enough now, so it is not excessive to punish him.
"Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning, we are almost at Chuchu's home. Come and tell your fortune and figure out where her home is!" Xue Yuantong reminded Jiang Ning that it was time for him to take action.
"Well, I'll try."
Jiang Ning's spiritual sense of hundreds of meters expanded instantly, like an X-ray, and the internal structure of the building turned into countless information and displayed in his mind.
He found Xue Chuchu's residence in an instant and planned a shortcut.
The mountain bike went forward for about thirty meters, then suddenly turned right and entered the alley.
"Have you found it?" Xue Yuantong asked him.
“Found it.”
"But why don't you pinch your fingers when you tell fortunes?" Xue Yuantong pretended to pinch Jiang Ning's clothes.
Jiang Ning: "Because I can do mental arithmetic."
Xue Yuantong felt that Jiang Ning was lying to her. Doesn't fortune-telling require putting on airs
Some things still require a long period of brewing before one can get a glimpse of the secrets.
Jiang Ning turned into an even narrower alley. On both sides were seven-story old buildings. In the sky above his head, there were bundles of dilapidated and chaotic electric wires.
I crossed two large green trash cans and rode deeper into the alley, and finally stopped the mountain bike at the second-to-last entrance.
He said, “Here we are.”
"I'll carry the vegetables." Xue Yuantong volunteered.
"She lives on the seventh floor. Can you do that?"
It would have been better if he hadn't said this, Xue Yuantong might have even given some dishes to Jiang Ning to carry, but once these words came out, there was no good ending.
'He underestimated me!'
Xue Yuantong must let him see it for himself.
She carried a bag full of food and started climbing the stairs first.
She rushed to the fourth floor in one breath. She was tired, so she gritted her teeth and rushed to the first floor again. Finally, she reached her limit.
Jiang Ning, empty-handed, easily passed her and climbed the stairs slowly.
Xue Yuantong was so angry that her arms were sore and she had no strength left. She almost couldn't hold the bag of vegetables.
Xue Yuantong silently thought: "Activate the backup hidden energy source."
She was like a robot, a surge of strength suddenly surged in her body, she rushed up two floors and finally reached the seventh floor.
After this incident, Xue Yuantong's legs were so weak that he could hardly stand.
It’s all Jiang Ning’s fault!
Jiang Ning knocked on the door, and a girl's voice rang out from inside the room:
“Here I come.”
Xue Chuchu pushed open the door, and the first thing that caught her eye was Jiang Ning's handsome face. Then she moved her eyes downwards and saw Tongtong with a bunch of vegetable bags hanging on his body.
"Ha, Chuchu, I carried all of these up, isn't that awesome!" Xue Yuantong was panting with exhaustion, but he couldn't hide the smug smile on his face.
Xue Chuchu nodded: "That's amazing."
"Yes, of course." Xue Yuantong felt that the hard work was worth it. She now felt a great sense of accomplishment.
"Come in quickly." Xue Chuchu invited the two of them into the house. She led the way and said:
"You actually found such a confusing place."
Xue Yuantong said: "Thanks to Jiang Ning's fortune telling."
Xue Chuchu picked up the thermos and poured a glass of water for each of them. She asked:
"How do you know this is my house and there is another family across the street?"
If she could find the building given the address, it would be considered impressive, but she never said that this was her home.
"The house opposite is empty and no one lives there." Jiang Ning said.
"Ah, did you find out?" Opposite Xue Chuchu, there lived a mother and son.
That aunt is a very nice person. Her husband works in the coastal area. For the sake of her child's education, she moved from Tu County to the city to accompany her child.
Her family bought a house in the city, which was still under construction. They originally planned to move out after the house was completed.
Later, in the community, the young man who quarreled with the old man all day long was idle all day.
Somehow, I ended up playing with my aunt's children.
The child was led astray, very bad. I remember one day he pushed a flower pot on the balcony at the stairs down, luckily no one was hit.
The aunt tried to persuade him many times but it was useless.
One time, Xue Chuchu pushed the door open and saw the young man coming to her house. He looked at her with disgusting eyes, and pulled and touched her forcefully.
Xue Chuchu is much more mature than Tongtong. She knows the dark side of human nature and has seen a lot of it, but she has only heard about it and never expected it to happen to her in person.
She was greatly shocked.
A few days later, the aunt across the street moved away.
Jiang Ning said: "Well, from the details, I found that no one lives there."
"All right."
Xue Yuantong listened to the two people chatting and interrupted:
"Chu Chu, can I see your bedroom?"
"Of course." Xue Chuchu was struggling with whether to let Tongtong and Jiang Ning come to her house.
But once she decided on something, she would let down her guard and let them do what they wanted, even if it meant more rude requests.
Of course, visiting a house is not rude.
Xue Yuantong stepped into Chuchu's room.
Jiang Ning stood at the door of the bedroom. His spiritual sense detected that Xue Chuchu beside him seemed very embarrassed. She clenched her fingers and stared at Xue Yuantong without blinking, afraid that she would show disappointment.
Xue Yuantong entered the room and the first thing he saw was the map on the wall.
"Wow, what a big map!" Xue Yuantong exclaimed.
She stood in front of the map, gestured with her hands, and immediately found the city of Yuzhou where she was.
"What a small piece." Xue Yuantong said.
Compared with the huge world map, Yuzhou City is indeed very small.
Xue Yuantong thought for a while and said:
“It seems not small.”
There are three counties in Yuzhou City, but Xue Yuantong has only been to one county. Moreover, even within the urban area, she has not been to all of them.
If her exploration progress of the urban area was 3% in junior high school, then after she had driver Jiang Ning, her exploration progress skyrocketed to 23%.
"Chu Chu, Jiang Ning, can we point out the places we've been to on the map?"
"Okay." Xue Chuchu agreed.
She stood in front of another map of the motherland and pointed to Yuzhou City.
And then it stayed there.
Xue Yuantong looked at Chuchu and laughed:
"What a coincidence! I've never been out of Yuzhou either."
Then she pointed her finger at the map several times, indicating Nanshi, Huaicheng and other cities.
"Jiang Ning, are these cities you have been to before?"
"Yes." Jiang Ning nodded, but Xue Yuantong didn't point out everything. In the past few months, he had traveled to many places on the spirit boat to get materials.
And these are nothing. Where he is truly active is in the world of cultivating immortals.
Although Jiang Ning was an ascetic cultivator, he later ascended to the Golden Core realm. Every once in a while, he would go out to carry out missions for the sect, often traveling thousands of miles to hunt down evil cultivators.
Those evil cultivators would not wait for him to kill them, and often hid in various dangerous places, such as Thunder Valley, Sanxuantian, and Black Water Falls. Those spectacular scenes were like miracles.
I just don’t know if he still has a chance to return to the world of immortal cultivation.
After they chatted for a while, Xue Chuchu said, "I'll go get some clothes, and then we'll leave."
She wrung out the water from the sheets and quilt, put them in the spin bucket, and started the washing machine.
The old-fashioned washing machines have powerful dehydration capabilities and are simple and crude, with the drum spinning madly.
After two minutes, the dehydration was completed, and Xue Chuchu put the lighter sheets and quilt covers into the basin.
Xue Yuantong came over and followed her to the balcony:
"Chu Chu, I'll help you dry the sun. There's strength in numbers."
Xue Chuchu looked at the clothesline above her head. The rope was very high and she had to stand on tiptoe to barely hang the clothes on it.
Xue Chuchu usually uses a clothes rail to hang up clothes.
"Give me some clothes." Xue Yuantong really wanted to help.
Xue Chuchu couldn't refuse her kindness, so she could only say, "Okay."
She took the pillowcase and gave it to Tongtong.
Then, considering Tongtong's height, it would be a little difficult.
So, she handed the clothes rail to Tongtong: "You can use it."
Xue Yuantong waved his hand and refused gracefully:
“It’s too much trouble.”
It's time to show how powerful she is, she can hang it up easily with just a casual move.
Xue Yuantong adjusted the pillowcase and placed it on the clothes rack first. Then she lifted the clothes rack high and hung it on the clothesline.
At this time, the importance of height is reflected. According to Jiang Ning's long-term observation, Xue Yuantong has grown taller, from the previous false 153 to the real 153.
Although still short, he is not particularly short anymore.
However, this slight increase in height was not enough to allow her to hang her clothes up.
She even jumped twice.
Hang up.
Xue Chuchu watched her jumping up and down.
Xue Yuantong stopped dancing and shouted:
"Jiang Ning, send me to heaven."
She raised her arms and temporarily transferred control of her body to Xiao Jiang Ning, whom she trusted the most.
Jiang Ning came over, bent down slightly, put his arms around her soft body from behind, and lifted her up gently.
Xue Yuantong grew taller, from 153 to 193. She stood in the air with a proud expression, casually hanging the clothes rack.
If she and Jiang Ning merge into one, they will be invincible.
