Xin Gan dozed off in a daze for two or three hours before dawn. She didn't take a bath last night, just wiped her face briefly. She was still scared, fearing that there might be another device for secretly taking pictures somewhere. Fortunately, her clothes had no smell, so she washed her face and went out.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Cheng Jiu and Xiao Shi at the entrance. Xiao Shi greeted them warmly, saying, "Good morning."
Xin Gan responded with a smile. Cheng Jiu, as always, had a blank expression and said, "Let's go."
There were bloodshot eyes in her eyes and her eyelids were heavy. As soon as she got into the car, she sat quietly, watching the bustling morning market by the roadside.
The rear window glass is broken, but it doesn't affect Cheng Jiu's driving. Even if it needs to be repaired, it can only be done when he gets back. It can't be fixed now.
Cheng Jiu parked his car at a breakfast stall, opening the door and saying, "Have breakfast first before you set off."
Xin Gan also got off the car. The morning sun was too dazzling for her to open, so she took out her hat and put it on.
Xiao Shi saw the hat she was wearing and said, "Miss Xin, did you buy this hat here?"
Cheng Jiu lowered his head to eat noodles as if he hadn't heard it.
Xin Gan said, "Um." She didn't say it was bought by Cheng Jiu either.
Xiao Shi: "It suits you quite well. Indeed, good-looking people look good in any style."
Cheng Jiu kicked Xiao Shiyi under the table and said, "Eat your noodles. So many words."
Xiao Shi, not willing to give up, pursed his lips and said, "I'm talking to Miss Xin. Why are you kicking me, Brother Jiu?"
Xin Gan smiled, calm and gentle. She held the chopsticks to eat the noodles, her movements elegant and clean. But the bowl was too heavy for her to carry with one hand. She put down the chopsticks, held the bowl in both hands and took a sip of soup.
Without a spoon, the bitterness and sweetness were not found, so one could only pick up the bowl and drink the soup.
Xiao Shi immediately went to the boss to ask for a spoon and handed it to Xin Gan.
Xin Gan felt embarrassed and said "Thank you".
Xiao Shi said, "You're welcome. We are all one family."
Xin Gan: "..."
She subconsciously looked at Cheng Jiu, and Cheng Jiu also looked at her. When their eyes met, the former immediately averted his gaze, while the latter's lips curled up.
After having breakfast and getting back into the car, Xin Gan got in first. Cheng Jiu grabbed Xiao Shi and led him to one side, saying, "What were you talking about just now?"
Xiao Shi chuckled foolishly, "What did I say, Brother Jiu? Did I say something wrong?"
What do you say?
Cheng Jiu warned him, "Don't talk nonsense in front of her."
Xiao Shi was really afraid of him. Just now, when he said that sentence, it was just for fun, so he quickly nodded and closed his mouth tightly.
Cheng Jiu: "You can joke with me in private, but don't make fun of her."
Xiao Shi immediately apologized, "I'm sorry, Brother Jiu. I was wrong. Be more careful next time."
"Come on. Get in the car."
On the way back, Xiao Shi held his tail tightly and dared not speak randomly.
Cheng Jiu was right. They were all grown men. It didn't matter what kind of dirty jokes they made in private. But in front of girls, they had to keep a limit. Especially Cheng Jiu was not an ordinary person when it came to Xin Gan. She was not someone to be joked about.
Xiao Shi reflected that he had been living too freely recently and hadn't been scolded by Cheng Jiu, which was why he had become bolder.
Xin Gan didn't sleep well last night. She just dozed off in the car for a while. While she was sleeping, Cheng Jiu wasn't driving fast either, moving forward slowly.
When Jiang Tang called, the ringtone of her mobile phone woke Xin Gan up. She rubbed her eyes and woke up, while Xiao Shi was answering Jiang Tang's call.
Jiangtang? Brother Jiu and I are on our way back. We won't arrive until the day after. What's up?
"Something's up. Why is it you answering, Cheng Jiu?"
"Brother Jiu is driving and it's not convenient to pick him up."
