bad derailment

I have always thought that Jiang Qiushi has a nice name. Just thinking about it like this can also outline the endless beauty of autumn in my mind.

After hesitating again and again, I still didn't call out abruptly, but only nodded lightly, maintaining my previous reserved image.

Stepping on the slanting sunset, Jiang Qiushi and I walked out of the campus side by side.For a moment, it was like suddenly returning to the student days, even the air was mixed with traces of sweet and sour.

If I had a teacher like Jiang Qiushi in high school, I'm afraid I could laugh out loud even in my dreams.

Walking past the security hall, Jiang Qiushi asked aloud, "Did you come here by car?"

I quickly put away my wandering thoughts, "No, I took a taxi."

I was a little embarrassed when I said this sentence. I have found the gap between myself and others countless times, and this sense of gap is especially obvious and strong in front of people I care about.

Thoughtful, he quickly raised his eyes and softened the light under the mirror, "If it's not far away, I'll give you a ride."

I almost thought I heard it wrong, and I heard 'send you away' instead of 'send you a ride'.

I was stunned for a while, and I was a little worried that Jiang Qiushi was being polite to me, but I still couldn't refuse this huge temptation, "It's not far, it's only 15 minutes by car, will it trouble you?"

He took out his car keys, and the taillights of a black car not far away turned on. He tilted his head and said to me, "No trouble, I have nothing urgent."

It's very strange that Jiang Qiushi's voice always has a certain persuasive force, just a few simple words can suddenly eliminate the embarrassment in my heart.

Inside the car, a low-pitched female voice sang obscure foreign-language songs.I sat in the co-pilot with my back straight, even though Jiang Qiushi didn't look over and didn't allow myself to relax for a moment.

It's just that no one spoke first, maybe because my relationship with Jiang Qiushi is not that familiar yet.

Humans are such cowardly and romantic creatures, usually there is no burden in communicating online, but once I go offline, I don't even dare to look at Jiang Qiushi's eyes, so I can only pretend to look at the scenery. The song was transferred to the radio station.

"It's seven o'clock in the evening Beijing time, and the evening peak in Yancheng has come to an end..."

I was startled when I heard that, and blurted out: "It's already seven o'clock?"

Looking at the road ahead, Jiang Qiushi slowed down the accelerator, "Well, it's getting late."

As soon as he finished speaking, a bold thought came to my mind.I tightened my seatbelt, rehearsed silently three times in my heart, and then imitated Jiang Qiushi's flat tone and asked: "Are you hungry? Do you want to have something to eat together? I remember I said before that I would treat you to dinner when I was free. Today is just right." Have the opportunity."

The green light in front just reached the last second, the car stopped slowly, and Jiang Qiushi looked at me accordingly.Even though those eyes contained no extra emotion, they still took my breath away.

When we first met, I knew he was a person who didn't like to show his emotions.No matter what you say or do, your tone of voice and expression will always be calm and even, but miraculously not alienated.

Presumably he must be very gentle when he smiles. I have never seen it, but I believe it inexplicably.

"Do you have anything to eat?"

He didn't refuse, but asked like this, which was already a great success for me.

"There is a Chinese restaurant in front of it. I heard that it tastes good. Every time I pass by, I can see people queuing up. But now that it's past meal time, there shouldn't be so many people. Do you want to try it?"

I tentatively said.

After a few seconds, the green light comes back on.The slender hands slowly turned the steering wheel, but they did not drive to the established route.

"Listen to you," he said calmly, "What's the name of the store? Let me navigate."

I curled up my fingers holding the seat belt tightly, and slowly announced the name of the store.He wanted to rub the hot earlobe, but he was afraid that Jiang Qiushi would find out about this small movement, so he could only wait for it to go away by himself.

Fortunately, the car soon stopped downstairs of the Chinese restaurant.

As I thought, there are not many diners at this time.The waiter led us to a two-person seat, which seemed to be very confidential. The front and back of the seat were mostly blocked by a half-hollow barrier. If you don't look carefully, you can't notice the people at the next table.But it also means that Jiang Qiushi and I have entered a temporary 'private space'.

When the waiter who took the order went down, my toes had already started to buckle the soles of my shoes unconsciously, and my mind was flooded with the words 'what to say, what to say'.

When eating with Chen Feng, even if no one speaks, I won't feel embarrassed.But at the moment Jiang Qiushi just poured two glasses of water, which in my eyes was unconsciously misinterpreted as "Is he also relieving embarrassment" in other meanings.

"Thank you," I took the teacup and looked around pretending to be calm, "The environment here is pretty good."

Jiang Qiushi nodded, agreeing, "Do you usually like to eat out?"

"No, I usually eat at home, and occasionally order takeaway."

If we went out to eat with Chen Feng every day, one salary would definitely not be able to support the two of us.

"I also prefer to be at home." Jiang Qiushi took a sip of water and asked naturally, "Do you live alone?"

I was slightly stunned, but still nodded and said, "Well, I'm alone."

I don't know if I was infected by Jiang Qiushi, but I also started to say 'hmm'.

Jiang Qiushi pursed his lips, and showed the expression that looked like a smile, but not a smile, "I thought you would live with your girlfriend."

"How is it possible? I've been single for many years." I lowered my head to drink water, my palms sweating a little, "The person you want to talk to needs to be able to see me. I don't have a house or a car, and I'm poor and white. Which girl would Like someone like me?"

I silently apologized to Chen Feng in my heart, and decided to temporarily forget his existence. After all, only if I believe it, others can believe it.

"What you're talking about is material, and there are many other things to consider when dating, such as character and appearance," Jiang Qiushi seemed to be stating the facts, with a soothing and sincere voice, "on the latter, a boy like you should be very Girls like it."

I froze for a moment, looked at Jiang Qiu for a while, and then said dryly, "Really?"

"Ah."

This is Jiang Qiushi's signature answer. Usually it doesn't sound very special, but at this moment, he is watering and fertilizing the little sapling in his heart, stretching out the green leaves, and he is full of energy.

The dishes were served one after another, and while eating, Jiang Qiushi mentioned Lin Nuo's studies, and I also followed his topic and responded seriously.

His voice is as warm and gentle as he is, no matter how I listen to it, I still feel that I am still full of meaning. If the ear can conceive, I am afraid that I have already given birth to a litter.

During the period, Jiang Qiushi's phone rang once, and he hung up with a flat face, lowered his eyes as if replying to someone's message, then raised his head and asked, "Sorry, what did you just say?"

I didn't think much about it, and I couldn't tell the difference between south, east and north, "Speaking of Nuonuo's volunteer, she told me early in the morning that she wanted to be admitted to Yanda University, but Yanda's score line was much higher this year, so I was a little worried." Can she pass the exam?"

Jiang Qiushi said: "It's not hopeless to sprint at the last moment, she is very smart."

Hearing his sister being praised, no brother would not be happy.I unconsciously raised the corners of my mouth, "With your words, I feel more at ease. Yanda is my alma mater. If Nuonuo can pass the exam this time, I can also take this opportunity to go back and have a look. By the way, Mr. Jiang, What university did you graduate from?"

Perhaps Jiang Qiushi's appearance is too deceptive, making people feel bookish at first glance.I always subconsciously regard him as a talented student who graduated from a prestigious school, and my affection for him is partly a natural yearning for a top student.

The lenses were tainted by the heat of the dishes, Jiang Qiushi took off his silver-rimmed glasses and put them aside, his unmasked and handsome eyebrows looked unreal in the white mist.He said eloquently: "I went to the UK to study in high school, and returned to China to work after graduation. I didn't experience the university life in China. It's a pity."

"So that's how it is." I was delighted to know a little more about Jiang Qiushi. "The UK is also very good. I have never been abroad in my life. If I have the opportunity, I must go outside to see it."

Jiang Qiushi said lightly: "Well, there will be a chance."

As the meal came to an end, the night gradually darkened.The car stopped at the gate of the community, and after I got out of the car, I waved goodbye to Jiang Qiushi, feeling a little bit sad in addition to joy.

"Be careful on the road, thank you for taking me back."

"You're welcome."

After the words fell, I seemed to see Jiang Qiushi briefly raised the corners of his lips and smiled, which was dim and amazing.

It's a pity that the light is too dim. Before I can take another look, the car body has melted into the darkness again and is heading into the distance.

Chen Feng was sitting on the sofa watching TV, saw me come back and got up and asked: "Has your sister's matter been resolved? Why did you come back so late?"

As I changed my shoes, I said, "It's resolved, it's just a misunderstanding, the two girls are fighting, just finish writing the self-criticism. After that, I'll have dinner with Nuonuo and send her home by the way."

This is the rhetoric that came to my mind on the way home, logical and seamless.Sure enough, Chen Feng didn't say anything more, and changed the topic after sitting down.

"What did you have for dinner?"

"A Chinese restaurant, chosen by Nuonuo," I glanced at the kitchen, "Did you order takeaway?"

Chen Feng's voice was slightly uncomfortable, "What else? If you don't come back, I can only eat a little."

After all, he turned off the TV and wanted to rub his hair habitually, but when he stretched his hand halfway, he realized that it had been cut short, so he put it down again.

"I'll take a shower first."

"it is good."

Soon there was the sound of rushing water in the bathroom, my throat was a little dry, and I went into the kitchen to get a glass of water.My eyes glanced at the trash can inadvertently, and there was a sudden pause. I stared at it for a while, but I didn't see the takeaway box that should be there.

I was a little dazed, and turned around subconsciously. The unused bowls and chopsticks in the sink were all clean, and even the placement was exactly the same as before I went out in the morning.

Didn't even move.

Chen Feng was not a person who would take the initiative to go downstairs to throw out the trash and clean up all the dishes after eating the takeaway. The only possibility was that he was lying.

After realizing this, my wrist trembled, and I almost couldn't even hold the cup firmly and fell to the ground.

But why would he lie about such a thing?

I thought dully until the sound of water stopped and Chen Feng urged me to go over, but I still couldn't figure out the answer to this question.

Perhaps this question can also be asked, why should I lie to Chen Feng?
