Chapter 51(1/2)
The car was moving forward steadily, and Lin Qingle just sat with her in the back row in order to take care of Yu Tingting.
But now she found that she didn't have to take care of her at all. What she needed to do was to block Yu Tingting's mouth.
"Fortunately, Xu Tingbai, you came quickly today! Otherwise, our Qingle would have hooked up with Yu Jiayou!"
Lin Qingle: "Hey..."
"Qingle! I promise, Yu Jiayou must be single now. Is he still in love with you?"
Xu Tingbai looked at the two of them from the rearview mirror: "Is there still a love left?"
Yu Tingting: "Yes, yes, you don't know. Yu Jiayou liked our Qingle in high school, so he was very nice to her."
Lin Qingle reached out to cover Yu Tingting's mouth, and the latter turned his head away, "What's wrong with this? I want him to know your market conditions! Xu Tingbai, I will tell you that there have been many people chasing Qingle in our family! Yu Jiayou has a lot of this, so you have to have snacks!"
Lin Qingle was so angry that he wanted to find a hole in the ground, "No matter how much you talk, I will throw you out of the car now!"
Lin Qingle suddenly raised his voice, and Yu Tingting immediately admitted his timid: "Don't be angry... I won't say it anymore, I won't say it anymore, is it okay if I don't say it anymore? I'm going to bed, call me!"
Lin Qingle glared at her and looked out the window angrily.
Xu Tingbai saw Lin Qingle's face tense in the rearview mirror and smiled faintly.
Twenty minutes later, the car drove to the entrance of Yutingting's community.
Lin Qingle pulled Yu Tingting down and sent her home.
After making sure that someone in her family took care of her, Lin Qingle was relieved to come out of the community.
As the end of the year approaches, the weather is getting colder and colder. After a snowfall this morning, a white layer has accumulated on the ground.
Lin Qingle stuffed his hand into his pocket and walked towards Xu Tingbai's parking place.
From a distance, she saw him standing next to the car.
He wore a black coat today, standing in the snow, which was particularly conspicuous.
He did nothing at this time, just stood there, looking in the direction of her.
Lin Qingle's hand in her pocket was pinching it tightly. She remembered what Yu Tingting said, a little embarrassed, but also remembered the words he said in the car just now.
This sounds...it doesn't seem bad.
"Have you delivered it home?"
Lin Qingle walked to him and heard him ask.
Lin Qingle's eyes drooped slightly: "Well, her mother has taken it back."
"That's good."
Xu Tingbai helped her open the car door, "Then let's go."
"good."
After returning to the car, Xu Tingbai put the blanket behind her on her lap.
With a blanket and air conditioning, the cold feeling outside finally got rid of the body little by little.
She glanced at Xu Tingbai and then remembered why he wasn't waiting in the car just now. How cold was standing outside...
"What's wrong?"
Feeling her gaze, he looked at her side.
Lin Qingle: "No, I just want to ask... why did you drive here."
Xu Tingbai: "I made a temporary decision, so I had no tickets to the high-speed rail here, so I had to drive."
"Then when will you go back?"
Xu Tingbai: "I just came, so you let me go."
Lin Qingle paused: "...I didn't say it."
Xu Tingbai: "Let's talk about it when you leave, I'm not in a hurry."
New Year's Eve is coming, and everyone is rushing back to their homes to celebrate the New Year with their family, so he is the only one who is not in a hurry to go wherever he is.
Because he no longer has a real home.
Lin Qingle thought of this and fell silent.
"Go with me to see someone."
After starting the car, Xu Tingbai said.
"who?"
"You'll know when you go."
Xu Tingbai drove the car to an intersection. Lin Qingle looked out the window and knew who Xu Tingbai was going to see.
Compared to before, Yueqian Road has not changed much. After Lin Qingle got out of the car, he looked at the familiar alley and felt like he was a different life.
Once upon a time, she would come here every week. At that time, there was an uncle selling rice noodles here. Then she would wait for an invisible boy at the rice noodles stall every time.
"Let's go, Jiang Po is waiting at home."
Lin Qingle turned around and saw the boy once smiling in his eyes and walked towards her.
The boy has grown up.
"What are you stunned?"
He asked.
Lin Qingle suddenly felt a little sore. She took a light breath and suppressed the strange feeling: "It's nothing, I just thought I haven't walked this path for a long time."
Xu Tingbai: "Nothing should have changed."
"Um."
The two walked side by side, and the alley was winding, but the road was engraved in the deepest part of their minds, so even after so many years, they walked accurately to the familiar downstairs.
"Apart from the renovation of the building, there is really no change."
When I went upstairs, Lin Qing talked happily.
"I don't know if there are any changes except the road."
"Of course, you can't see what you used to be."
Xu Tingbai: "If you have time in the future, take me around?"
"Do I still have to bring me here?"
"Well, otherwise I don't know where it is."
"That's right..." As he said that, Lin Qingle glanced at the things he was carrying, "Hey, when did you buy these for Po Jiang?"
"yesterday."
"Fortunately you bought it, otherwise I wouldn't bring anything if I came here suddenly."
"It's okay, mine is yours."
“…”
As the two of them spoke, they also arrived at the door of Mrs. Jiang's house.
After Xu Tingbai knocked on the door, someone soon came to open it.
"Xiaobai! Come in, come in."
Jiang Po was very excited to see the person. When she saw a girl behind Xu Tingbai, she was stunned for a moment, but she quickly remembered, "Are you Qingle?"
Lin Qingle was surprised: "Por Jiang, do you still remember me?"
"Of course I remember you, Xiaobai, you didn't say that Qingle came with you today."
Xu Tingbai: "Give you a surprise."
Jiang Po smiled happily: "Okay, it's really a surprise. Come in and sit down."
Xu Tingbai put the things he was carrying in his hand in the small living room. Jiang Po hurriedly said, "It's great that you are here, and you still bring so many things."
"Nothing, it's something you can use normally."
Jiang Po took his hand: "Hey, you have given me a lot over the years, so how can I be embarrassed to let you spend money again?"
"It's just a little thing, don't think too much."
Jiang Po was both moved and happy, "Then, you two sit down first, I'll get some food for you."
Lin Qingle hurriedly stood up: "No need to worry."
"That's not good, I'll give you two noodles."
Mrs. Jiang is much older and is a little staggering when walking. Lin Qingle is embarrassed to bother her and hurriedly looks at Xu Tingbai.
Xu Tingbai: "You sit down, I'll go and take a look."
"Um."
