Chapter 692 The High-and-mighty, Two-Faced Academic Genius (Gong) VS The Carefree, Charming, and Pop
Early Wednesday morning, Jiang Xiyu drove Jiang Jinya off.
He now lives in Haicheng, which is only a two-hour drive from his hometown by highway.
Two hours later, after exiting the highway, Jiang Xiyu looked at the scenery along the way in the small town and found that it had changed significantly. Although it couldn't compare to a bustling city, it was much better than he remembered.
After all, before Jiang Xiyu went to Haicheng with others, the county was still a poor county. His family lived in a relatively remote village, and even going to school required a long walk. Especially in the years after losing his parents, he and Jiang Jinya had a very difficult life.
However, in the following years, Jiang Xiyu heard that the government had stepped in to alleviate poverty, which led to the town's current state. The highway was built here, the roads became clean and tidy, and the buildings were renovated and reorganized.
Blue skies, white clouds, and fresh air—just returning here brings a sense of peace.
Jiang Xiyu, who was in a bad mood because of what happened some time ago, couldn't help but smile as she looked out the car window.
He realized that his subsequent plans were indeed correct; the countryside was truly a very suitable place to live.
Here, you don't need to think about those messy things, nor do you need to deal with those messy people.
"Brother, look! That looks like our old elementary school. It's changed so much!" Jiang Jinya, sitting in the passenger seat, looked around with great curiosity, marveling at everything.
Jiang Xiyu slowed down the car and only answered softly when she asked.
He drove Jiang Jinya around the town for a while, then, relying on his memory, he steered the car onto the road leading to the village. After turning left and right, it took him more than ten minutes to finally see his old home.
Because there are few opportunities to return to live here, the house is still just a simple one-story building.
There was no exterior renovation, but because Jiang Xiyu had the idea of taking it back, he asked his second uncle to find someone to do some simple renovations a few months in advance.
Aside from their parents, their second uncle was practically their closest relative.
Jiang Xiyu and he had been in contact, and knowing that he was coming back, his second uncle got up early to kill chickens and clean the house.
So much so that when Jiang Xiyu drove to the front door, the man was still inside, busy sweeping. He only came out of the house after hearing the horn.
Jiang Xiyu had just gotten out of the car to get a gift from the trunk when she turned around and saw a middle-aged man holding a broom staring blankly at her.
He thought for a moment before calling out, "Second Uncle."
When Jiang Jingya heard him call her second uncle, she quickly came out from the back of the car and greeted him obediently.
Jiang Liang was stunned for a long time, and after recognizing him, he quickly smiled and said "Hey!" a few times.
"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back."
Jiang Xiyu stepped forward and gave him various gifts and supplements, then tried to take the broom from his hand, saying, "Give it to me."
"It's alright, it's alright, Second Uncle is almost done." Jiang Liang said with a smile, "And what's the point of bringing so many gifts when you're back?"
Jiang Xiyu smiled politely but didn't say anything.
Jiang Liang said, "You must be tired from driving for so long. Come to my house and sit down for a while. Your second aunt is preparing lunch. We can talk after we eat."
The two houses are connected.
At this moment, my second aunt, who had heard the commotion, also came out of her house.
Upon seeing Jiang Xiyu and Jiang Jinya, they were somewhat surprised and didn't recognize them. Only after they realized who they were did they smile and invite them to their home, showing them incredible hospitality.
Jiang Xiyu originally wanted to refuse, but she couldn't resist the enthusiasm. So she went to Jiang Jinya's house for a while, had a cup of tea, and then made an excuse to take Jiang Jinya back to her own house.
As soon as I opened the door, I found that not only had the house been cleaned, but even the beds had been opened.
Jiang Xiyu felt a little embarrassed looking at the brand-new decorations.
Jiang Jinya said happily, "Brother, Second Uncle and Second Aunt are such kind people."
She thought she'd have to do a lot of cleaning when she got back.
Jiang Xiyu hummed in agreement and said, "You'll sleep in the inner room."
“Okay.” Jiang Jinya nodded with a smile. After carrying her luggage back to her room, she immediately picked up her phone and sent her location to Bai Chengci.
At that moment, Bai Chengci was sending a message asking Jiang Xiyu if he had arrived yet.
Jiang Xiyu received the message and replied: 【Arrived.】
[Bai Chengci: Aren't you tired?]
Jiang Xiyu: [Not bad.]
[Bai Chengci: What does your house look like? Can I see it? (Curious kitten jpg)]
Jiang Xiyu: [There's nothing to see.]
Bai Chengci: ╥﹏╥
Jiang Xiyu glanced around the room, then lifted it up and casually snapped a picture of him.
Because the space is small, only a bed and a cabinet were placed there.
After the photo was sent, there was a moment of silence on the other end.
Jiang Xiyu was about to exit the chat interface when her phone suddenly beeped, as he didn't reply.
[Bai Chengci: The bed is a bit small, is it big enough for you to sleep in? /heart/]
What can't a person sleep through?
Jiang Xiyu felt that Bai Chengci's question was utterly pointless, so she simply didn't bother to reply.
He turned off his phone and started packing his clothes from his suitcase. After putting all the clothes in the closet, Jiang Xiyu planned to go out and buy some daily necessities.
Before leaving, he specifically asked Jiang Jingya if she wanted to come with him, but when he called out at the door, no one responded, so Jiang Xiyu pushed the door open and went in.
Jiang Jinya was engrossed in sending messages and didn't notice Jiang Xiyu approaching.
She was startled when Jiang Xiyu silently walked up to her, and then she quickly hid her phone behind her back.
Jiang Xiyu frowned upon seeing this and asked her, "Who are you secretly texting?"
Jiang Jinya immediately shook her head, her tone somewhat hesitant, and stammered, "I was texting my best friend."
As soon as she finished speaking, her phone, which was behind her back, chimed.
Jiang Xiyu looked at her quietly for a few seconds before saying, "If you're going to send a message, just send one. Why hide it?"
Jiang Jinya blinked twice and made an excuse: "Well, I was just suddenly startled by my brother."
She chuckled awkwardly as she spoke, her phone beeping incessantly.
Jiang Xiyu thought she was acting strangely, but he didn't care too much. He just thought that girls also had their own privacy. Then, he looked around Jiang Jingya's room and saw that the furnishings were simple. He asked her, "Do you want to go out and buy some daily necessities?"
Jiang Jinya nodded repeatedly, then seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "Okay, okay."
Jiang Xiyu looked at her without saying anything, feeling that she was hiding something from him. But when they arrived at the supermarket in town, he found her behavior to be very strange.
I bought an extra item when I bought daily necessities.
There were three pairs of toothbrushes, cups, towels, and even slippers.
Jiang Xiyu was a little puzzled and asked her why she bought an extra one.
Jiang Jingya hesitated for a moment before stammering, "Oh, it's just... it's just to prepare an extra one as a backup."
The answer was obviously correct, but Jiang Xiyu looked at the slippers in the shopping cart, suddenly curled his lip, and sneered coldly with a forced smile: "Heh, do you really need to wear size 45 for your spare slippers?"
Jiang Jinya: "(⊙.⊙)..."
