Chapter 20 Embarrassment

After greeting each other, there was a slight embarrassment between the two of them. After all, even if they were very close, they hadn't seen each other for many years. Over the years, the two of them have experienced many things, have a fixed circle of life, and their personalities and mentality are similar to those of their student days. no the same.

Although Anya pretended not to care, her mind was a little confused. She tried her best to stare at the Kindle screen. Chen Jin probably felt the silence of the atmosphere and said, "Are you going home?"

Anya was called out by her voice and came back to her senses, and said, "Well...how about you?"

Chen Jin: "I'll go back and have a look too, I haven't been back for several years."

Anya was stunned for a moment. After all, she and Chen Jin were from the same city. It wasn't until they arrived at university that they realized that they were from the same township, but one was in the east of the city and the other was in the west of the city. Anya asked, "Your parents?"

Chen Jin: "My parents immigrated after they retired, and they are now in Australia."

Anya knew that Chen Jin's parents were executives in large state-owned enterprises, and their family conditions were pretty good. Besides, she was an old woman, so her parents doted on her very much. She nodded, "Very good."

Chen Jin nodded with a smile and said, "Are your parents going to retire soon?"

Anya nodded: "My mother will retire this year, and my father will soon be."

Chen Jin: "They have worked hard for most of their lives, and they can finally be free to do their own things. My mother grows vegetables in the yard in Australia every day, and then gives them to the Chinese neighbors next door."

Anya thought of the post she saw before saying that growing vegetables is the instinct of Chinese people, and she really grows them wherever she goes, so she couldn't help laughing, and said, "Why are vegetables foreign?"

Chen Jin looked at her smiling face, and was stunned for a moment. She almost wanted to ask those words, but she held back, nodded and said, "This is a good description. I can send it to my mother. She should be very proud."

Chen Jin looked at the time for half an hour, and said, "I'm going to buy a cup of coffee, what do you want to drink, or the old-fashioned cappuccino?"

Anya shook her head and said, "No need, I haven't had a cappuccino for a long time, the milk foams too much and I tend to gain weight."

Chen Jin paused and said, "Really." She smiled again and asked, "Then what do you drink? How about American style?"

Anya originally wanted to say no, but seeing Chen Jin insisting, she pursed her lips and said, "Let's go together."

Anya stuffed the reader in her bag, and the two of them walked to the Starbucks not far away. The two of them seemed to be side by side, but Anya would subconsciously step back a little. In fact, this was the experience of humility in the workplace for many years. the second half of the footprint.

Chen Jin looked at the formulaic and forced look on her face, and was a little absent-minded. Thinking of the past, Anya always liked to walk in front, and every time she turned her head, there was a series of laughter and dimples.

She had a faint guess in her heart about what happened that year, but she couldn't ask it out, and she didn't dare to ask it out. Back then, Anya would choose to alienate everyone. It can be seen how important that incident was to Anya, and she seemed to be the one. the culprit.

After arriving at Starbucks, there were two people queuing in front, and the two followed behind. Chen Jin wanted to say something, but her phone rang, and after looking at the phone number, she said to Anya: "Yaya, help me Order a large vanilla latte, and I'll answer the phone first."

She blurted it out, and after saying the title, both of them froze for a moment, but Anya recovered first and said, "Okay..."

Chen Jin looked at the vibrating phone, nodded and went out to answer the phone.

After Chen Jin went out, Anya was stunned for a moment, and then she came back to her senses. After arriving at her, she took out her membership card and ordered a cup of vanilla latte for Chen Jin. A cup of American style, thinking that Li Ji disliked the bitterness of coffee before, so she changed it to a cup of Chinese style tea.

When I think of Li Ji, the kind of muddled state in my mind slowly returns, yes, that happened many years ago, and now the two of us have different lives, so why should I always subconsciously into an embarrassing situation.

She didn't tell anyone about what happened back then, so any concern or entanglement was actually her own business and had nothing to do with anyone else.

Putting aside this layer, in fact, Chen Jin and I are just good classmates who reunited after not seeing each other for many years.

Thinking of this, she felt that the things that had been lingering in her heart were slowly pushed away, and she exhaled lightly.

After Chen Jin finished handling the phone call, she came back and saw that Anya was holding Chinese-style tea in her hand. Anya handed her the cup, motioned for her own tea, and jokingly said, "Drinking tea is a must for a greasy middle-aged man." .”

Chen Jin took her own coffee and said, "If you are all greasy and middle-aged, then I am a few months older than you, and I have to drink tea next time."

Chen Jin's lively tone eased the embarrassment between the two of them. Chen Jin said, "I'll invite you this time, and I'll invite you back next time we meet."

Anya said subconsciously: "No, I'll just invite you. After all, we've known each other for so many years, so we should invite our old classmates."

Chen Jin was a little disappointed. She originally wanted to take advantage of the favor of a cup of coffee to ask Anya again, but Anya refused directly. She took a sip of her own coffee. The coffee, which has always been sweet, now feels a bit bitter. She thought maybe She should add some sugar.

The two drank their own things quietly. It didn't take long for the announcement to sound. It was time for their flight to board, and the two walked over there.

It’s probably near the holidays. The city where Anya’s family is located is a well-known tourist city, so there are quite a lot of people on this flight. The boarding queue is very long. Anya and the others are in the middle of the queue, moving slowly with the flow of people .

Standing in line, Chen Jin asked, "How long do you plan to stay at home?"

Anya: "Leave on the last day of the holiday."

Chen Jin: "Me too, what time is your flight? Maybe I can meet you then."

Anya smiled: "Maybe, we will meet at the airport by chance."

After the two of them got on the plane, Anya found out that Chen Jin was sitting in the first-class cabin, and she could board the plane early, but she had been queuing with her all the time.

Chen Jin waved to her, Anya smiled, and went to her seat, she didn't know what Chen Jin was thinking, but she didn't want to know, after all, she was in a good state now.

After she sat down, she took out her mobile phone, and the WeChat message reminded her that she had received Li Ji's WeChat message. Li Ji took a break between classes and asked her if she got on the plane.

Sometimes Anya felt that Li Ji was her good medicine. When she was in distress, as long as she appeared, she would feel that everything was not so bad.

The background of her chat with Li Ji was a selfie photo taken in Paris. Seeing Li Ji smiling happily in the photo, Anya replied softly.

The next moment, Li Ji's video invitation came, and Anya clicked to accept.

Seeing Li Ji on the screen, probably in the classroom, you can see the stepped desk.

Anya: "I just got on the plane."

Li Ji: "I know. I checked. The previous flight with your flight number landed an hour ago."

Anya smiled, and forgot about Li Ji's flight checking artifact. Anya would go on a business trip occasionally, and every time she went on a business trip, Li Ji would ask her to send her her flight number. She always used this clumsy way To make sure Anya is okay.

After all, there is still a long distance between the two people across the time difference, so many times the communication will not be timely, and each other is sleepy, tired and sad. Although the first thing that comes to mind is each other, but after thinking about it, that kind of thinking can’t be touched. If you can't touch it, it's even more uncomfortable.

So both people will subconsciously avoid this problem, and then use other methods to give each other a sense of security and let the other party feel that they care.

It was as if at this moment, both of them couldn't bear the happiness on their faces. Although they didn't speak, they thought it was good to see each other. After a while, Li Ji was going to class and said, "I'm going to die."

Anya called her: "Wait..."

Li Ji: "What's wrong?"

Anya sent a kiss to the screen. After Li Ji was stunned for a moment, he lowered his head shyly. Before hanging up, he quickly approached the camera for a kiss and then hung up...

Then Anya's network got stuck, and the final interface was a close-up shot of classmate Li Ji's thin lips... Anya couldn't help laughing, and then took a screenshot while the picture was still there, waiting for the next video When the time comes, use it to bully classmate Li Ji.

The plane landed after flying for two hours. After landing, Anya reported to Li Ji and her parents that she was safe. When she came out, she found Chen Jin waiting for her at the exit.

Chen Jin: "I checked in my luggage, and I have to wait anyway, so I might as well go down with you."

Anya accepted her explanation, and the two of them walked outside slowly. Anya remembered that many years ago, every time she went home, she walked with Chen Jin like this.

It's just that as long as I was with Chen Jin at that time, I always seemed very talkative, and my personality was a bit bearish, and Chen Jin just looked at her quietly. Occasionally when she turned around, Chen Jin would smile softly at her, Then call her Yaya.
