The family arrived at the station in the town and planned to take a bus to the county and then to the city. Just like last time, they would take a bus from the city to the capital.
But when they arrived at the station in the town, Su Qingyun saw someone who shouldn't be there.
"Ji Yue, why are you here?" Su Qingyun looked at him in surprise.
Ji Yue stood at the door of the station, with a layer of sweat on his forehead. He had obviously been waiting for a while. When he saw Su Qingyun, his eyes lit up, "I came to see you. I have something to tell you."
"What did you say?" Su Qingyun was confused. They were not together yesterday. Why didn't he say anything yesterday?
"Yunyun, you guys go ahead, your father and I will go in first." Qin Ying wanted to give the two children some space to talk alone, so she pulled Su Aimin into the station first.
"Hey, what are you doing to get me?" Su Aimin was still muttering unhappily. What on earth did this kid want to say when he came here early in the morning to block Yunyun? He wants to know too.
"Let's go!" Qin Ying used a little force to drag him in. The two children talked about what trouble he was making here.
"What do you want to say?" Su Qingyun asked Ji Yue.
Ji Yue moved his lips and organized his words, "Actually, it's nothing. I just wanted to wish you good results in the competition and a safe return before you leave. I forgot to tell you yesterday."
Su Qingyun stared slightly, not believing it, "That's all?"
"And..." Ji Yue hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "In the past games, we were partners, and I was always with you, but this time... you are fighting alone, and I will help you." I can’t do anything to you, I can only watch you move forward.”
"But I won't stand still, Qingyun, you believe me, I will try my best to catch up with you! One day, we will move forward side by side again." Ji Yue's eyes were firm and he spoke decisively. He won't let the gap between him and her get wider and wider.
Ji Yue listened to the sound of rain last night and looked at the night outside the window. He didn't sleep all night. He knew that Su Qingyun would set off to participate in the competition at dawn. This was her first trip that had nothing to do with him.
It would be a lie to say that there is no gap in his heart, but he can't stop others from running towards a better future, right? He couldn't stop her, and he wouldn't stop her. Just like he thought before, he would only try to catch up until he could walk side by side with her again.
Ji Yue hopes that the relationship between him and Su Qingyun will be mutual progress and mutual achievement, instead of him blindly watching her back getting further and further away. He doesn't want to be a person who only looks up. This is not Ji Yue's character. , and he would not be someone Su Qingyun would like. Ji Yue understood this very well.
He tossed and turned all night long, but still couldn't express what he was hiding in his heart, so he simply got up early and went directly to the station to wait for her, wanting to tell her clearly what he thought.
After hearing his words, Su Qingyun was stunned. She had never thought that Ji Yue would think like this, but...
"Okay." Su Qingyun smiled, "You can move forward, but I won't wait for you, so you have to work hard." She knew that if she said anything about waiting for him, it would be an insult and contempt for him. .
Sure enough, Ji Yue showed a relaxed smile and said, "Okay, you don't have to wait for me, I will catch up by myself."
The two people's eyes collided and they smiled at each other.
Ji Yue took a deep breath and said, "Go in quickly, uncle and aunt are still waiting for you inside."
"Okay." Su Qingyun raised her foot and was about to go in, but suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Ji Yue looked at her doubtfully.
Su Qingyun looked around. It was still early and there were not many people coming and going at the station. She glanced at Ji Yue and suddenly took two steps forward and hugged Ji Yue gently.
It was a very light hug, and Ji Yue didn't even react. Su Qingyun had already let go of his hand, with a bright smile on his face, "I'm leaving, wait until I come back with good news."
Ji Yue was stunned and didn't respond.
Su Qingyun smiled softly and entered the station.
Did she hug him? Did she hug him? This sentence was the only thing left in Ji Yue's mind.
He covered his racing heart. The girl's fragrance in his nose seemed to have not dissipated, and the soft hug seemed to have not left. He was wearing short sleeves, and he felt that the skin on his arm that Su Qingyun had just touched was like fire. It started to feel hot, and this heat spread to his limbs and bones, and his whole body was about to boil.
He turned around and watched the figure walk away, his eyes were very deep, as if it was deeply engraved in his heart.
"Damn it! What did that brat do just now? Let go and don't hold me back. If I don't beat him to death today, my surname will not be Su!" Su Aimin, who had been watching this side quietly, saw this. The scene where the two hugged exploded instantly, and they were about to run back and attack Ji Yue.
Qin Ying held him tightly, "Okay, okay, didn't you see? Our daughter took the initiative to hug her, why did you do it?"
"I don't care, doesn't he know how to hide? Just let someone hug him like this? How shameless!" Su Aimin was so angry that he couldn't say anything.
Qin Ying was speechless for a moment and let go of him, "Then go, I think if you dare to attack A Yue today, do you think your daughter will blame you?"
As expected of the person who knew Su Aimin best, one sentence made Su Aimin stop abruptly, but he still said stubbornly: "I'm all for this good, what can she blame me for? She's still so young and doesn't understand at all. These."
"Why is it so small?" Qin Ying said angrily, "I know so much more than you do, and I do things appropriately. Besides, Ah Yue is not a bad boy. Why do you have to get involved in the affairs of the two children? Save me, don't let the two of them have any bad feelings when the time comes."
"What's the problem?" Su Aimin smiled coquettishly, but in the end he made no move. When he saw Su Qingyun walking over, he could only sigh, "The female student is not here to stay."
"She hasn't left yet. You can sigh when she really can't keep her anymore." Qin Ying glared at him.
Su Qingyun came over and looked at her father's red face in confusion, "Dad, are you hot? Why is your face so red?"
"It's not hot!" Su Aimin said angrily. Why is it hot? He was just angry.
"Ignore your dad, he's full of dumplings this morning." Qin Ying pulled Su Qingyun, "Let's get in the car and ignore him."
Su Qingyun was pulled away in confusion, and Su Aimin could only follow with gritted teeth.
After getting in the car, Qin Ying and Su Aimin let Su Qingyun sit by the window in order to get some wind. When the car drove out of the bus station, Ji Yue hadn't left yet. When he saw Su Qingyun by the window, he smiled and waved. , Su Qingyun also waved.
When Su Aimin saw this, he gritted his teeth again and simply turned his head away, out of sight and out of mind.
"What happened to dad?" Su Qingyun asked her mother when she saw that her dad looked like he was constipated.
"Don't worry about him, your father has heartburn." Qin Ying suppressed a smile and said, how old is she, and she still has two children, she is really promising!
Su Qingyun wondered, would eating too many dumplings cause heartburn? Why didn't she know?
The car staggered all the way to the county, and then transferred to the city. After this trip, and the suffocation in the car, the little wind was scorching. Su Qingyun's face looked a little bad again, so she wiped it off It would be a little better if I ordered cooling oil.
Su Aimin felt a little distressed and looked at the time and said to Qin Ying: "When we get to the city later, let's have a meal first and rest for a while before going to the train station. It's still early anyway."
"good."
When they arrived in the city, the three of them went straight to the state-owned hotel. At this time, there were very few people coming to the state-owned hotel to eat. Even though it was dinner time, there were not many people, only a few scattered guests.
The three of them found a seat to sit. Although they were not too hungry, they still ordered several dishes. After all, this should be the best meal they had before arriving in the capital.
Today's dish includes braised pork, which is beautiful in color, rich in oily red sauce, soft and glutinous in the mouth, and melts in one sip. It tastes so good that even Su Qingyun, who had just lost his appetite, took a few more bites.
"Eat slowly, don't be in a hurry." Su Aimin said, "Let's finish this meal and make do with it on the train."
Qin Ying: "The food on the train is also good, but it's still far behind compared with state-owned hotels."
Su Qingyun nodded. Those who can work as chefs in state-owned restaurants now are all very capable, and many of them even have secret recipes passed down from their ancestors.
The family chatted while eating. This was the first time that the three of them went out together, so naturally they had a lot of expectations for this trip.
The three members of their family all looked good, and they ordered a lot of dishes, which attracted several glances from the guests at the table next to them, but Su Qingyun and the others didn't pay attention.
When the three of them had eaten and drank enough and were about to give the money and leave, the hotel waiter said something unexpected to them, "No need to give it, someone has already given it."
"What?" The three of them were all stunned. Who was so kind to help them settle the bill? It's impossible, they don't know anyone in the city.
"Where is the person who pays the bill?" Su Aimin asked hurriedly.
The waiter pointed to the door, "Well, I just walked out. Your table is worth a lot of money. That family is really generous."
Who gave it to me? The family was even more confused.
They hurriedly chased him out, only to see a slender figure walking away. Next to him was a middle-aged woman, both of whom were well-dressed.
Su Qingyun frowned as she looked at that slender figure. Why did she... feel a little familiar?
The girl seemed to be aware of the three people's gazes, and suddenly turned her head. When she met Su Qingyun's eyes, both of them were startled.
Then, Su Qingyun saw an extremely bright smile on the girl's face. She slowly stretched out her hand, made it into a fist, stretched out her thumb, and slowly bent it downward twice.
【Thanks. 】
Su Qingyun understood this sign language and finally remembered who she was.
She also stretched out her hand and said in sign language, "You're welcome." 】
The girl nodded and followed the people around her away.
Su Qingyun smiled softly. Sure enough, she still looked better when she was so clean. Now that she was living a good life, it was not in vain to save her.
