Listen to the fire

It was already eleven o'clock in the evening after the two practiced.

The street lamps outside the Children's Palace illuminate the concrete road, and the sycamore trees on both sides of the road cast slanting shadows, and the elongated figures of Ji Cheng and Yi Suan also melted into the black shadows of the trees.

"The bus station is ahead, and we can still catch the last bus." Yi Song checked the time of the evening bus on his mobile phone, turned to Ji Cheng and spoke.

"Well, I'll take bus 22, how about you?" Ji Cheng asked.

"Route 66."

While the two were talking, the sound of a car driving was heard not far away. The two looked up together and saw a bus driving towards this side.

It is the 66th road.

"Hurry up, Route 66 is coming!" Ji Cheng saw that the car approaching was Route 66, so he hurriedly pulled Yi Suone past him and ran towards the front.

The two quickly ran to the bus station, and the No. 66 bus just stopped at the bus station.

"Yi Suone, go home quickly, we'll see you tomorrow." Ji Cheng looked at Yi Suone and showed a bright smile at Yi Suone.

"Well, I want to go home too, but you are dragging me, how can I get in the car?" Yi Song smiled helplessly.

"what?"

Only then did Ji Cheng lower his head to take a look, and found that his hands were tightly holding onto Yi Sullone, with interlocking fingers, but he didn't react at all.

"I'm sorry..." Ji Cheng quickly let go of the hand that was holding Yi Suone, and his face immediately began to feel a little hot.

Yi Suone stared at Ji Cheng's dodging gaze for a few moments, then raised the corners of his lips and smiled: "See you tomorrow!"

With that said, Yi Suone stepped into the car.

Standing below, Ji Cheng watched Yi Suone pass through the crowd, stopped at the window, and reached out to grab the pull ring above his head.

"Well...see you tomorrow!" Ji Cheng stretched out his hand and waved at Yi Song, and Yi Song saw Ji Cheng waving, and waved at Ji Cheng too.

The bus started to start and drove towards the front, Ji Cheng looked at Yi Su's smiling face moving forward little by little, and his raised hand dropped little by little.

His hand was covered with fine sweat from holding Yi Su's hand just now, and it dissipated little by little in the night wind.

Just now, the moment Yi Suone was about to leave, Ji Cheng seemed to really feel reluctant.

Could it be that as Wan Xiaopang said, I have other thoughts about him?

No, no!

Ji Cheng shook his head, and quickly denied his own thoughts. Yi Suone was still a high school student, and he was an old man in his 20s, how could he have such messy thoughts.

The sound of the bus driving came from a distance again, it was the No. 22 bus that Ji Cheng was going to take.

"It must be something wrong with my brain after I came to this world these days." Ji Cheng stretched out his hand and patted his head, trying to wake himself up, and got on the bus to go home.

After Ji Zhou went crazy at home last time, he didn't see him for a few days, but Ji Cheng didn't want to see him even if Ji Zhou wasn't there.

After taking a shower at home, Ji Cheng lay on the bed, unexpectedly, he received a message from Zhou Jiayi.

Zhou Jiayi took a new photo of a physics problem, and attached a sentence below: [Ji Cheng, will this work? 】

Ah.

Ji Cheng raised the corners of his lips and smiled, does this little girl really think of herself as a problem solver?

[Yes, yes, but when are you going to do what you promised? 】

When getting along with Zhou Jiayi today, Ji Cheng knew that she was a straightforward person, so he didn't want to go around the bush, and was going to say what he wanted directly.

A few seconds later, Zhou Jiayi's message came again: 【What do you want?How about... I treat you to dinner? 】

[You don’t need to eat, just take me to the office of the Children’s Palace to play in your free time. 】

【What are you doing in the office of the Children's Palace? 】

[I'm just going to stroll around inside, and I don't do anything, so you can just say it's okay. 】

Zhou Jiayi originally thought that Ji Cheng liked her, and was afraid that Ji Cheng would make some unreasonable demands, but now Ji Cheng's demands are very simple, and she will definitely agree to them soon.

Sure enough, after Ji Cheng sent the news, Zhou Jiayi agreed.

So, Ji Cheng quickly turned over and sat up, worked out the problem that Zhou Jiayi sent over on the draft paper, took a photo and sent it over, and explained it to her by voice.

After hanging up the phone, Ji Cheng started to do his homework, and it was already past one o'clock when he went to bed.

Ji Cheng pulled up the quilt and lay down to look at his phone, only to find a new text message, which was sent by Yi Su.

【Good night. 】

Although it was only two short words, Ji Cheng felt an unprecedented warm feeling. He raised the corners of his lips, and quickly typed "Good night" and sent it over.

The next morning, Ji Cheng got up and called Wan Pengfei downstairs. When Wan Pengfei went downstairs, he didn't even have time to tie his shoelaces.

"Brother Deng, you are so early today?" Wan Pengfei quickly ran to Ji Cheng's side, then squatted on the ground to tie his shoelaces.

"Go to school and memorize English vocabulary earlier." Ji Cheng responded.

Wan Pengfei stood up quickly, stretched out his hand and patted Ji Cheng's shoulder: "Brother Deng is worthy of being a top student. He thinks about studying every day. You are really different from the other Brother Deng."

"There's a big difference between you and the other Wan Pengfei." Ji Cheng said, and walked forward.

After hearing this, Wan Pengfei quickly chased after him: "Hey, what am I like? Tell me!"

Ji Cheng turned his face, glanced at Wan Pengfei who was full of anticipation, and said with a smile: "Wan Pengfei has good grades, he won the first prize in the physics competition in high school, and he was recommended directly. When I was fighting at night for the college entrance examination, That bastard is sitting on the floor of my house and playing games, are you angry?"

"I'm going, am I so awesome in another world? Is it because he absorbed all the energy of the universe, so I'm such a scumbag?" Wan Pengfei shook his head.

Ji Cheng stretched out his hand and tapped Wan Pengfei on the head: "Come on, the universe is fair."

The two chattered and soon arrived at the school.

After Ji Cheng and Wan Pengfei arrived in the classroom, they quickly sat down in their seats. Looking at the empty space in front of him, Ji Cheng was a little puzzled: "Why hasn't the little elk come today?"

"Brother Deng, I found out that you really care about the little elk!" Wan Pengfei turned around and smiled at Ji Cheng.

"We are all friends, what's wrong with you?" Ji Cheng said, pulling out an English book from the pile of books in front of him.

Speaking of which, the current self always cares about the little elk unconsciously.

Looking at the English vocabulary list in front of him, Ji Cheng tried hard to suppress his emotions.

When class was about to start, Yi Suone finally arrived at the classroom.

Seeing Yi Suone coming in, Ji Cheng quickly raised his face: "Yi Suone, are you here?"

"En." Yi Suone responded and sat down on the seat.

"Student Yi Suone usually comes quite early, why is it so late today?" Wan Pengfei looked at Yi Suone and asked with some doubts.

After Yi Song sat down, he opened his schoolbag, took out two breads, and handed one to Ji Cheng and the other to Wan Pengfei: "I overslept this morning."

"Oh my God, student Yi Song, are you an angel?" Wan Pengfei took the bread Yi Song gave him, and immediately began to praise him.

Ji Cheng stared at Wan Pengfei and shook his head, this girl is so worthless, she just buys any food she wants.

The bread that Yi Suone bought was the same as Ruolin's last time.

Ji Cheng tore open the package and took a bite. The bread was strawberry-like, and the crispy skin on the outside was also very crispy.

"This bread is really delicious." Ji Cheng glanced at the bread in his hand, it might be the best bread he has ever eaten.

"Yes, yes, it's so delicious!" Wan Pengfei said, licking his fingers.

Yi Song heard this and smiled slightly: "Well, I also think it's delicious, so I often buy it, but I heard that the business of this bakery has only recently improved, and the business was very poor before."

"This bread is so delicious, the business shouldn't be bad before." Ji Cheng was a little surprised.

"They said that the bread made by this bakery was so bad that it was about to close down, but it started to make delicious bread last month." Yi Song smiled.

Ji Cheng's movement of biting the bread faltered, and he looked down at the bread in his hand: "Did you change the pastry chef?"

"There is no pastry chef in this bakery, and the proprietress just makes cakes. I heard that she went to learn pastry, and she made delicious ones when she came back," said Yi Su.

"Then it was really worth it for her to study." Wan Pengfei nodded.

"Little Molu, when did you just say that this bakery is going to close down?" Ji Cheng said suddenly.

Yi Su was startled, and then said: "Probably last month, the business started to improve from last month."

"It was about to close down last month because the bread it made was unpalatable. Last month, the business improved because the bread it made tasted better. The proprietress went to learn pastry. It's impossible to change so much in one month, right?"

Ji Cheng thought carefully, if it wasn't because he was investigating the matter of parallel time and space, maybe he wouldn't care about the bakery at all, just like Wan Pengfei and the others, just let it go.

However, when it comes to parallel time and space, Ruolin Bakery has too many doubts.

"Brother Deng, I also feel a little strange when you say that." Wan Pengfei followed suit.

Yi Suone, who was eating bread with his head down, felt a little more joy in his eyes when he heard Ji Cheng's words. When he raised his head, the emotion in his eyes had dissipated, and he just looked at Ji Cheng lightly and said, "If you are curious , I can take you to Ruo Lin's bakery."

"Okay, then let's go after school." Ji Cheng nodded, if there is really something wrong with Ruolin's bread, then maybe there will be one more clue to find out the suspect behind the scenes.

After school in the afternoon, Ji Cheng went to Ruolin Bakery with Yi Suone.

This store is located on the pedestrian street from Bihu Community, and even in the afternoon, the business here is very good.

After Ji Cheng and Yi Suone went in, they saw many people queuing up in the bakery.

"Crispy Liuxin Bread has to wait a while, it will be ready in 10 minutes." The girl in the pink skirt standing at the counter shouted to the customers outside, with a sweet smile on her face.

"Is this the proprietress?" Ji Cheng stared at the little girl, who was only in her early twenties.

Yi Suone shook his head: "This is a part-time job, the lady boss is there."

As he said that, Yi Suone pointed to the baking house in the bakery.

The baking house is isolated by glass doors, and people outside can just see the baking process inside, which also makes the bread making process transparent.

Busy in front of the oven is a woman in her 30s, dressed in a simple blue baker outfit, decorating a tray of carton cakes with cream and fruit on the table.

Two strands of slightly curly chestnut hair fell from her temples, adding a bit of laziness to her big light brown eyes.

She is a very temperamental woman.

"The cupcakes are ready, everyone can come to the cashier and line up to buy them!" The girl in pink took the cupcakes made by the proprietress at the door of the bakery and carried them to the cashier.

"Want to eat? I'll go to line up." Yi Su's voice suddenly rang in Ji Cheng's ear, and Ji Cheng was taken aback by Yi Su's voice.
