Chapter 194

It's just that after she went to graduate school and went to work, she went home less and less frequently, and gradually put this thing behind her.

If she hadn't tidied up the bookcase today, she would have almost forgotten its existence.

"Is this thing old?"

Mom suddenly asked, "When did you buy it?"

Zhu Wenshu shook his head: "I didn't buy it."

The mother knew that her daughter was popular, so she immediately reacted: "Oh, who gave it to you?"

Zhu Wenshu stared at the pocket watch in his hand and didn't respond.

In the past, she had indeed repeatedly thought about who sent it, but now, the answer seemed to be coming out.

Just then, my mother's cell phone rang.

Zhu Wenshu, who was originally silent, was suddenly pulled by a certain nerve, and stared straight at her mother's cell phone.

This ringtone seems to be Ling Chen's "Inaudible Heartbeat"?

"Why did you change the ringtone to this?"

Mom picked up the phone and looked at the incoming call, seeing that it was a sales call, she hung up immediately.

"I support my son-in-law." Mom said, "How is it? Zhou Sisi helped me make it."

"..."

Zhu Wenshu didn't speak any more, and looked at the pocket watch in his hand again.

After a while, she took out her mobile phone and found Ling Chen's dialogue box, and wanted to ask him if it sent him.

Just before sending, Zhu Wenshu suddenly thought of something, bent the corner of his lower lip, and deleted everything.

She wiped her pocket watch with a tissue, then put it in her coat bag.

The next afternoon, Zhu Wenshu refused the enthusiasm of her parents to send her, and insisted on going to the station by herself.

My parents were also thinking about the poker game, so they didn't insist.

As soon as she went out, Zhu Wenshu called Ling Chen and asked him to pick her up at a certain intersection.

Ling Chen was driving, and after confirming the location, he didn't say anything more, but told her that there was a bit of traffic jam today, and it might be later.

So Zhu Wenshu carried his small suitcase and walked towards the agreed place.

Today is the last day of the Spring Festival holiday. Many pedestrians on the road are dragging suitcases, and Zhu Wenshu is not obtrusive.

When she arrived at the location, she found a bench and sat down, put her hands on the luggage handle, and looked towards the intersection.

He didn't see Ling Chen's car for a long time, but he saw an acquaintance.

A middle-aged woman in a khaki down jacket led a three or four-year-old girl to buy balloons on the side of the road.

Zhu Wenshu stared at the figures of the two of them, and unconsciously laughed.

When someone approached, she opened her mouth and said, "Teacher Zhang."

The middle-aged woman led the child back, looked Zhu Wenshu up and down, her face full of surprise.

"Zhu Wenshu? Are you going back to Jiangcheng?"

"Well, I'll be back later."

Teacher Zhang used to be serious and strict, and everyone in the class was afraid of her.

However, in the past two years, I heard from those students who stayed in Huiyang that she seemed to be a different person after holding her granddaughter, and she smiled at everyone she saw.

Zhu Wenshu felt that the students did not lie to her. For example, at this moment, Teacher Zhang sat next to her with his granddaughter in his arms.

"How is it? Recently, it's not easy to be a teacher."

"fine."

Zhu Wenshu said with a smile, "It's just that children are hard to manage."

After the two chatted a little about the teacher's experience, Teacher Zhang thought of something, and asked again: "Are you with Ling Chen?"

"Um."

Zhu Wenshu was not surprised that Mr. Zhang knew about this.

After all, there are still many students who have contact with the teacher.

"Hey, I didn't expect that either."

Teacher Zhang looked at and patted his granddaughter's arm, and suddenly sighed, "I used to think that you two must be useless, after all, there is Yin Yueze."

Zhu Wenshu blinked and asked hesitantly, "You... know?"

"How could I not know! Things were so big back then!"

Teacher Zhang said with a smile, "Ling Chen is a real person. He usually keeps quiet, but in the third year of high school, he went to fight with the PE class because of you, and was almost expelled. If it wasn't for me—"

Before he finished speaking, Teacher Zhang saw Zhu Wenshu's face full of astonishment, and said in disbelief, "You don't know?"

The expressway on the return journey during the Spring Festival is always particularly congested every year, making Chen arrive nearly 20 minutes later than the expected arrival time.

After he parked the car on the side of the road, he lowered the window and waved to Zhu Wenshu on the bench.

But she was staring down at the ground, not noticing him at all.

"What are you thinking?"

Ling Chen got out of the car, didn't even wear a mask, stood in front of Zhu Wenshu blatantly, reached out and raised her chin, "Don't want to leave home?"

Zhu Wenshu still didn't speak, and looked up at the man in front of him with light and shadow in his eyes.

The streets of Xinchun are full of joy, and several shops are playing festive music at the same time.

In such an atmosphere, there was no trace of joy on Zhu Wenshu's face. Her eyelashes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and her mouth was slightly pouted, as if she was about to cry in the next second.

When Ling Chen saw her like this, his expression suddenly became serious, and he knelt down in front of her.

"What's wrong? Wronged?"

Zhu Wenshu pursed his lips and shook his head, took several breaths before saying, "No."

Seeing people coming and going on the road, she might recognize Ling Chen at any time, so she got up before Ling Chen could speak again, "Let's go, go back first."

Ling Chen's gaze followed her back until she stopped in front of the passenger car's door again.

"Why did you drive here by yourself?"

"One driver is on vacation and the other has other duties."

Ling Chen took the suitcase from her hand, walked to the back of the car, put it in the trunk, and asked, "What?"
