evening tide

After Xiang Wan heard what she said, he didn't make a sound for a while.

This Sun Qi had never heard Chao Xin mention it, and even though Chao Xin's tone was quite calm at the moment, her behavior of running over to look for Pa Pai immediately implied that the so-called Pa Pai's father was not a good person.

Xiang Wan wanted to go to Chao Xin almost instinctively, but she knew that with Chao Xin's personality, she might not want to, so she hesitated for a while, thinking about how to word it.

However, Chao Xin's next sentence was: "Wanwan, I didn't expect to be delayed for so long, because he is not in his hometown. I searched in the village for a while, but the signal is not very good, so I didn't get in touch with you in time."

Thinking that Su Chang was listening, she didn't say anything like "I'm sorry for making you worry".

She knew that Xiang Wan was very sensible. Once she said that, Xiang Wan understood.

"I'm going back to town today, so I want to call you."

Xiang Wan took a deep breath and wanted to speak.

But I heard Chao Xin say, "Do you want to come over?"

She was a little dazed, unable to react for a while.

"I think, I think." Xiang Wan nodded, even though Chao Xin couldn't see it.

She doesn't care where she is, she just misses Chao Xin very much.

"Is the competition okay?" Chao Xin asked again, but she didn't ask Xiang Wan, but she paused and said, "Su Chang."

Su Chang smiled lightly: "The cooperation stage of exchanging tutors does not involve class division, as long as you can come back in time, it should be fine."

"Well," Chao Xin sighed on the other side, and said in a soothing voice, "Wanwan, I let you turn on the speakerphone, just thinking that if you want to come over, let Su Chang arrange someone to see you off."

She actually didn't want Xiang Wan to go over, but she received a message from Xiang Wan, knowing that if she was here alone, she would be worried, very worried.

"I'm in Hudongning County now. You may not have heard of this place. I'll send you the address later."

Chao Xin didn't say much because she was so tired that she could hardly keep her eyes open.

"Wanwan, I promise you can come here, and you promise me, don't rush all night, come back tomorrow, okay?" She said to Xiang Wan with a nasal voice and a faint smile.

Hanging up the phone, Xiang Wan held the phone upright in his palm, rubbed it unconsciously, then moved his fingertips to his lips, opened his sore eyes, and took a small breath.

Su Chang crossed her legs and retracted her forward leaning body. The phone vibrated with a "moo". She picked it up and received a message from Chao Xin: "Thank you for the trouble."

Su Chang replied with a smile, "You're welcome", and then said to Xiang Wan: "I won't look for anyone else, I'll drive you there tomorrow."

Lake East is in the neighboring province, about 5 hours by car.

Originally, he could take the high-speed train, but after hearing Chao Xin talking about towns and villages just now, Su Chang felt that it would be more convenient to drive, otherwise it would be very troublesome if he had to change trains if he didn't know the place well.

Xiang Wan frowned, felt that it was too troublesome, and wanted to refuse, but Su Chang said softly in a clear and noble voice: "I want to make sure you can come back safely, otherwise it will affect the recording of the program, and I will have to lose money."

Xiang Wan couldn't say anything about the reason of righteous words, so Yu Zhou took Su Chang's hand and said, "I'll go too, your back hurts, I'll drive with you instead."

"Besides, the situation with Mr. Chao seems to be quite bad." There are more people to help.

And she was very embarrassed to say that her second spirit had risen again. At this time, she should form a team, and she even wanted to recruit Peng Houzhi.

So early the next morning, when Xiang Wan took a taxi to Su Chang's house with his luggage, he saw Peng Houzhi beside the car.

Eating a popsicle early in the morning, wearing a small leather jacket and miniskirt and small leather boots, with big red lips and big waves, the popsicle is so sloppy.

"Eat popsicles in the morning?" Yu Zhou hunched his neck and pulled the car window, watching her in the car.

Peng Yuzhi sighed while guarding the trash can: "When I asked you yesterday, I was still opening the night show, and it opened until four o'clock. Do you know that it's four o'clock?"

If there were no popsicles to refresh her mind, she might be able to push through.

But it just so happened that she could take three days off after the show, so she made a quick decision to watch the excitement.

Seeing Xiang Wan, she felt very pitiful: "I haven't seen you for a few months, and the little ancient man is going to chase his wife thousands of miles away."

This drama is really catchy.

No one paid attention to her, and she was silent when she got in the car, so Peng Houzhi stopped talking and fell asleep leaning against the car window.

After getting off the expressway and driving on the provincial road for an hour, there is no dirt road with seven turns and eight turns, but it can be seen that the place is getting more and more out of the way. Several times the navigation leads to the opposite place. Su Chang went around two or three times Going back in circles, I finally arrived at Ning County.

Ning County is on the mountain, with a medium altitude, and the temperature is slightly lower than that of Jiangcheng. Pedestrians on the road are all wearing small two-piece suits.The county town is small, but there is only one main road, which is not very wide, and there are vendors selling vegetables on both sides. Su Chang drove very slowly. After glancing at the navigation, he felt that something was wrong, so he asked Yu Zhou to ask for directions. .

"Hello, may I ask how to get to Maoyun Town?" Yu Zhou pressed the window of the car, and after Su Chang stopped, he asked a woman holding a child.

"Clang?"

The woman didn't hear clearly and asked back.

"Mao..." Yu Zhou turned his head to confirm again, and said word by word, "Mao Yunzhen."

"Oh," the woman raised her voice, and pointed forward with the child's hand, "Ahead, go around the side of the three-way road, follow that road, and you'll be there."

Yu Zhou had a little difficulty listening, and the woman repeated it in broken Mandarin.

"Okay, okay, thank you." Yu Zhou was still wondering which side the "Sancha road side" is.

Obviously Su Chang didn't understand either, combined with the navigation and guessing, it was right.

It was only then that Xiang Wan knew why Chao Xin said that Su Chang must arrange someone to send him off. If she relied on her alone, she would definitely not be able to find him.

Fortunately, a friend was there, so they didn't waste too much time on the road. They arrived in the town before noon. Chao Xin lived in a place called "Ying Peng Hotel" and said he was waiting for them at the door.

The car circled a turntable, went downhill, and walked into a narrow path. There were no pedestrians on the road, and the shutter doors were half-opened and half-closed. Only the mahjong parlor at the intersection was more lively and noisy.

Xiang Wan saw Chao Xin standing at the entrance of the hotel amidst the calls of "Sitong" and "Eighty Thousand".

She is wearing a thin windbreaker jacket, and she has a good temperament on the street of the small town. She has a straight back and calves without a trace of fat. Her ankles are set off by stiletto heels. She hangs her head slightly, and her curly hair is scattered. , with his hands in his pockets, as if looking at the shadows in the ground.

Xiang Wan poked her head out of the car window to look at her, the breeze blowing on her face due to driving made her bangs flutter gently, as if she was jumping for joy.

Xiang Wan suddenly felt that women look best when they are waiting.

Because no matter how smoky the surrounding environment is, no matter whether the greenery on both sides is overgrown with weeds because no one is looking after it, no matter whether there are little boys with bare buttocks peeing recklessly on the street, she waits there with hope, just Like standing in a cloud.

Because she pretended to be waiting in her heart, she became different.

Hearing the sound of the car, Chao Xin raised his head, without a second's delay on his face, he just smiled innocently, then took two steps back to get out of the road, and told Su Chang to stop.

When the car stopped, she wanted to go up to help with the luggage, but Xiang Wan got out of the car first, and called her while holding the frame of the car: "Teacher Chao."

Chao Xin couldn't bear it anymore, stopped in front of her, took her into his arms, and hugged her deeply.

The heels of the high heels rubbed against the ground twice. She was not used to being so intimate in front of others, but she really needed Xiang Wan.

And I really can't stand that Xiang Wan, who she needs, has driven such a long way to come to her at this time.

Yu Zhou pursed his lips and smiled, and went to open the trunk with Su Chang, Peng Yuzhi folded his hands to look at the surrounding environment, and considered whether to scold the little boy who peed on the side of the road.

He looks like he's going to take a shit.

Before she could finish her calculations, Chao Xin let go of Xiang Wan, came over to greet them, and then helped carry the luggage into the hotel.

A very small front door, flashing low-quality neon lights, the little girl at the front desk was chasing the show, and she didn't look up.

Chao Xin leaned towards the front desk and asked them: "I didn't know you were coming, so I didn't book a lot of rooms. Do you want to stay here? This is the best room in town, but it's also very average."

In front of the front desk, she spoke tactfully, but everyone could see from her eyes that the conditions were very poor.

"Why don't you go up with me to take a look first, if not, drive back to the county to live in a while, there are three-star ones, and they are pretty clean."

Mainly, she wasn't sure if Su Chang could live.

She didn't worry about Xiang Wan, Chao Xin asked Xiang Wan to wear a disposable quilt cover yesterday, cleaned the bed a bit, and hugged Wan Wan again, she should be able to fall asleep too.

"Go ahead," Su Chang said, "There's nothing you can't live in."

Now that you are here, of course you can think of various situations, and now is not the time to be hypocritical.

The little girl at the front desk was reluctant to press pause, and glanced at the plot while displaying the QR code, and then threw out two keys, one for Su Changyu Zhou and one for Peng Hou.

Seeing this key, Peng Houzhi felt that something was wrong. Sure enough, the room was a bit flattering to say it was shabby, and he didn't dare to open the curtains, for fear that if he pulled it, it would be a layer of dust.Some of the switches on the wall were off, and some exposed circuits. Fortunately, they were basically still functional.

There were seeping water stains in the corner of the room, and there were two red and green kettles next to the bedside table, and Peng Houzhi didn't go to the bathroom because he was afraid that he might have a heart attack.

But they didn't care too much, they settled it early and left early. After packing up their luggage, they went downstairs to find a fly restaurant for dinner. Chao Xin called them the seasoning of bean curd and began to talk about the current situation.

"I found Sun Qi. He had a banquet for three days. He said that he was going back to the village this afternoon, and that Papai was at his aunt's house in the town. But I asked, and I don't know where her aunt lives."

She sniffled her nose, as if she had a cold, but Chao Xin was amazing, with almost no dark circles or eye bags, no matter how well rested or not, whether she was actually energetic or not, she always looked radiant.

"They won't let you see the cards?" Peng Houzhi asked.

"Ah."

"Want the custody of Pa Pai? After all these years, you suddenly remembered?" Peng Hou didn't even want to eat, he just wanted to gossip.

Chao Xin laughed mockingly: "Most likely there is no money."

Maybe it was because she was on a variety show, she guessed.

"Then, let's go find Sun Qi in the afternoon, shall we?" Xiang Wan asked softly, handing Chao Xin a cup of tea.

"Yes."

"That," Yu Zhou took a mouthful of rice, "Do you want to fight?"

To be honest, she was a little flustered.

Su Chang patted her waist reassuringly.

Chao Xin sneered: "He doesn't dare. Apart from spoofing, his old Sun's family has no other skills."

She couldn't understand it better, so he only dared to hide the cards.

Yu Zhou relaxed a bit, and everyone began to eat. Xiang Wan picked up a chopstick of green vegetables for Chao Xin. Chao Xin lowered his hand, pulled Xiang Wan's left hand over his lap, and gently squeezed it under the table.
