Chapter 1253: Chapter 837: Curvilinearist
At eight in the morning, Jiang Nian drove into the town.
"Where are you?"
"Huh? You’re here already?" Yu Zhiyi was surprised, "Wait a moment, I’ll change my clothes."
"If you don’t come out in three minutes, I’m leaving."
"Right away, right away!!"
"Hold on..." Yu Zhiyi’s voice sounded far away, probably because she threw her phone on the bed, "Have you had breakfast?"
"No."
"Then let me take you to breakfast. We have a store here that’s really good, I go there every day."
After ending the call, Jiang Nian rolled down the car window. He was driving Old Jiang’s broken car, quite an old model.
The small town was quiet, the streets were empty.
At this hour, only the vendors selling vegetables and making breakfast were up; looking around, there were few pedestrians.
In recent years, with urbanization advancing, people from the small town near Zhen Nan moved to the county, and house prices increased as well.
In this remote little county of Zhen Nan, a hundred-square-meter house, simply decorated, costs around a million.
Old Jiang and his wife were just discussing buying a house last night, hesitating about whether to first buy a wedding home.
Worried that after buying, they’d be tight on funds for the bride price.
Jiang Nian didn’t think it was necessary, leaning on the sofa and said, "These three wishes can’t all be fulfilled."
Almost got a beating after saying that.
In a moment, Yu Zhiyi arrived. She wore a thin white shirt as a jacket, with a camisole inside.
Below, she wore a pair of hot pants, her long legs were white and straight.
"Let’s go, let’s go, I’ll treat you to breakfast."
She happily got into the front passenger seat. Although she was a bit curious about why Jiang Nian came in an old car, she didn’t dare ask.
Perhaps all the money went into the Taobao store.
But she wasn’t worried, rather a bit grateful. Otherwise, knowing Jiang Nian’s personality, he probably wouldn’t have thought of her.
The summer rain by Daming Lake.....
Ugh, unlucky.
"Alright." Jiang Nian casually replied, turning the steering wheel, driving towards the inner streets of the small town.
He glanced sideways and reminded her.
"Put on your seat belt."
"Oh, oh." Yu Zhiyi pulled a long section of the seat belt and clicked it on, the strap slid down accordingly.
Under the force of the elasticity, it pressed hard on the deep groove. This thing, like a crossbody bag, is quite practical.
However, Jiang Nian didn’t look too much.
After all, times have changed, he’s more used to it now. Compared to the days of being an amateur cook, he’s calmer, just gave it a glance and looked away.
If it’s plump and round, it depends on the face.
Though if bigger, it’s visually striking. But most of the time, you don’t actually see it.
Unless, you set up a few big mirrors. You can enjoy it to the fullest, but it requires the other’s cooperation.
Otherwise, owning mirrors is a waste.
Just as Jiang Nian’s thoughts were wandering, the car reached a relatively quiet old street, the scenery appeared different.
Three-story self-built houses of red brick were tightly lined up on both sides of the street, the signs were printed and had faded to gray.
It read, Welcome Guest Noodle Shop.
"We’re here!" Yu Zhiyi first unbuckled the seat belt, got out with a bang, "Park nearby."
"Isn’t that right by someone’s door?" Jiang Nian was surprised.
"Whatevs, others park like this too." Yu Zhiyi waved her hand, "That family probably moved to the county."
"Oh, oh, alright."
After parking the car, the two entered the breakfast shop. Jiang Nian ordered buns, a stack of dumplings, and a porridge.
Yu Zhiyi ordered a dumpling, happily sitting across from him.
"You’re eating so much?"
"What are you, photosynthesizing?" Jiang Nian retorted, and added, "By the way, you should take something home later."
"What?"
"A gift, of course. Am I supposed to come empty-handed?" Jiang Nian also planned to drop by to see Chen Yunyun and the others.
Brought some gifts, since he was giving anyway, there was no saying of buying less when it comes to casual gifting.
"You’re too wasteful." Yu Zhiyi said, "You’re not even going to my house, what gifts are you bringing?"
"Just something casual." He said.
"Okay then." Yu Zhiyi said so, but felt important, and was quite happy inside.
"Next time don’t bother, or it will be a loss to keep gifting."
Jiang Nian just waved his hand upon hearing that.
"We’ll see."
Whether or not to give in the future was hard to say, he just thought about the present, gifting each time he came wasn’t a loss anyway.
"How come you have time this visit?" Yu Zhiyi wiped her mouth and curiously asked, "Having lunch?"
"No, I’ll leave in the morning." Jiang Nian said, "I was free, just came for a walk."
"I remember there’s a scenic spot here, right?"
Yu Zhiyi: "...."
Alright, she believed now. He really just came by incidentally, and suddenly felt a bit annoyed.
"All you know is to play, I’ll take you there later."
Jiang Nian: "???"
If not sightseeing, what else could he do for fun?
.....
After breakfast, Jiang Nian took Yu Zhiyi along. They drove to a scenic spot, an ancient temple over a hundred years old.
During the war, major figures stopped by there.
The attractions around Zhen Nan mainly involved three aspects: one is the academy, the second is Hakka culture, and the third one.....
An array of red scenic spots.
Especially the temples, most of them were temporarily commandeered. Used as temporary command centers or resting spots.
"When does your school start?" Yu Zhiyi, sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly felt something was off.
This guy..... was a bit too well-behaved today, his eyes didn’t wander, neither did his idle right hand.
This isn’t a good sign, it felt like the distance had widened.
"The 18th, I think?" Jiang Nian drove, eyes fixed on the distance, "Didn’t pay close attention, but it’s around those days."
"You better control your temper, nobody will pamper you at university."
"Oh, oh." Yu Zhiyi nodded somewhat cluelessly, but felt something was off, "What’s wrong with my temper?"
"More annoying than a dog." he said.
"You!!!" Yu Zhiyi almost heated up, feeling both angry and anxious, "And to think I treated you to breakfast this morning."
