MTL - After Two Lifetimes I Was Reborn Back Inside A Book-Chapter 97 Wear back the ninety-seventh day
After he came out of the research institute, Jiang Chen was also thinking about why his reaction was bigger than usual when Major General Wu mentioned Shi Fengyue. The phone rang, stopped and rang again, and he didn't think of a reason.
"Mr. Jiang."
A man got off the SUV and opened the door for Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen nodded towards the man, got in, and connected the phone at the same time.
"In the research institute?"
"Just came out." Jiang Chen put aside the doubts in his mind, raised his hand and looked at the time, it is now three o'clock in the afternoon, and Shi Fengyue's exchange meeting time is from two to five o'clock in the afternoon, and it should be in the middle of a meeting at this time: "How is the exchange in the southern province?"
"A cliché."
Hearing Shi Fengyue's lazy voice, Jiang Chen could already imagine him leaning against the wall or leaning on the sofa hugging a pillow, loose and sleepy, he smiled and said, "You slipped out?"
"There was an accident, so I didn't go."
Jiang Chen was curious: "What accident?"
"Meet someone unexpected on the way to a meeting."
"An unexpected person?" Knowing that Shi Fengyue would not bring up things unrelated to him for no reason, Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows: "I know him?"
Shi Fengyue tilted his head, glanced at the young man who was staring at him, and said casually: "Do you want to come and take it back?"
"who is it?"
Shi Fengyue handed the mobile phone to the ear of the boy beside him: "Talk to your brother."
The young man had a dark face, and after giving him a hard look, he took the phone, and his tone became innocent instantly: "Brother."
Hearing He Qianmin's voice, Jiang Chen paused as he was about to open the car window: "Are you in Nan Province?"
"I wanted to tell you before I set off." He Qianmin lowered his head, and his unique clear voice was very cute, "But I didn't get through to you. I know you are very busy at the research institute. I don't want you to worry. , I came to the southern province by myself."
"What are you doing in Southern Province?"
Glancing at Shi Fengyue on the side, He Qianmin said vaguely: "I found something before, and I came to Nan Province to track down the clues."
"Do your parents know?"
"I don't know." He Qianmin licked his lower lip nervously, and immediately added: "But I sent them a text message after getting off the plane."
Jiang Chen said lightly, "Give the phone to Shi Fengyue."
"elder brother…"
"immediately."
He Qianmin raised his eyes and met Shi Fengyue's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. He pursed his lips and handed him the phone.
Shi Fengyue: "It's me."
"Please send him to the airport later." Jiang Chen said, "Let him come back on the nearest flight."
Shi Fengyue glanced at the sullen young man who was visibly nervous, Yan'er raised one corner of his mouth wickedly, and said, "Do you want to see what your younger brother looks like now?"
"you dare!"
He Qianmin raised his head suddenly, with a few gray marks on his milky white face, and a fierce light in his eyes, he reached out to grab the phone.
Shi Fengyue seized the opportunity, captured this moment, and sent it to Jiang Chen before He Qianmin could react.
Jiang Chen looked at He Qianmin who was showing his teeth and claws in the photo, and sharply noticed the mud on his body and the marks of being scratched by something.
"he is injured?"
"Break into the realm of smuggling and trading." Shi Fengyue laughed: "But he ran fairly fast, and he didn't suffer any injuries except for a few falls."
Jiang Chen: "Check to see if he's injured. I'll book the nearest flight to pick him up."
Shi Fengyue slightly raised the tails of his eyes with a smile: "I'll send you the hotel address."
"it is good."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen said to the driver: "Brother Zhao, please take me to the airport."
"The ticket has been booked." Qian Yi said in the front seat: "We are going to the airport now just in time for this flight."
Jiang Chen nodded: "I'm sorry, Brother Qian."
…
It took about three and a half hours from Yan City to Ming City, the capital of Southern Province, and it was already eight o'clock in the evening when Jiang Chen arrived at the hotel that Feng Yue had reserved.
"elder brother."
Jiang Chen walked into the box, and He Qianmin stood up instantly. After changing his clothes, he could no longer see the distressed appearance in the previous photo.
"I ordered your favorite dish." He Qianmin sat down next to Jiang Chen, and poured him a glass of water: "Drink some water."
Jiang Chen glanced at him, his eyes collided with Shi Fengyue, Shi Fengyue raised his eyebrows at him, and smiled knowingly.
Jiang Chen took a sip of the water, turned his head to Qian Yi and Zhao Lin behind him and said, "Brother Zhao and Brother Qian, sit down and eat."
The two stood upright, standing at the door of the box: "You eat first, we just ate something on the plane, we are not hungry."
After the words fell, the waiter pushed open the door of the box and came in. He was startled when he saw the two people who looked like door gods, and the soup in the bowl almost spilled out.
While apologizing, the waiter finished serving the dishes and walked out with lingering fears. Jiang Chen smiled: "Let's eat some together, otherwise the three of us won't be able to finish the dishes, so it's not good to waste them."
Hearing what Jiang Chen said, the two of them sat down at the dining table without coddling.
Shi Fengyue scooped up a bowl of soup and put it in front of Jiang Chen, "The mushroom soup here is pretty good, try it."
The delicious mushroom aroma blends into the soup, the taste is mellow and smooth, and it is enjoyable from the tip of the tongue to the stomach.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but take a few more sips. Seeing this, He Qianmin put a piece of fried crab into Jiang Chen's bowl: "Brother, this crispy crab is delicious, try it."
"Eating mushrooms and crabs together is not good for your health." After Shi Fengyue said lightly, he filled Jiang Chen's soup bowl to the bottom, put a piece of ribs in his mouth and said, "The ribs here are also good."
After eating with his chopsticks, He Qianmin took away the crabs from Jiang Chen's plate, and put some root vegetables in Jiang Chen's bowl again: "Eating too much meat is not good for your health, brother, you should eat some vegetables."
"The fish is good."
"Brother, your favorite cauliflower."
"This tastes good too."
"Brother, eat some carrots."
Jiang Chen stopped with his chopsticks, and at the same time blocked He Qianmin and Shi Fengyue who came to pick up food, "I can't eat anymore, don't pick it up for me."
He Qianmin retracted his chopsticks and glanced at Shi Fengyue. Shi Fengyue tilted his head slightly, approached Jiang Chen who was beside him, and said in a low voice, "You will stay here for a few days."
Jiang Chen was puzzled why Shi Fengyue came so close all of a sudden, and was about to speak when he caught a glimpse of He Qianmin's nervous expression from the corner of his eye. He raised his brows lightly, and also lowered his voice and said to Shi Fengyue, "Leave tomorrow."
Shi Fengyue hooked his lips, "Don't you stay for a few more days?"
"No time." Jiang Chen remembered something, turned his head and said, "Today I..."
Jiang Chen's eyes widened slightly, Shi Fengyue's mouth was still curved upwards, but his eyes were filled with surprise and bewilderment, there were molecules floating in the air, and emotions were transmitted and connected within a distance of less than five centimeters. Jiang Chen's mind was blank, and he was so infected that only shock and bewilderment remained.
Everyone's actions seemed to press the still button, and the needle could be heard for a while.
— patter
Someone's chopsticks fell to the ground.
Jiang Chen suddenly came back to his senses, and stepped back a little. After the surprise faded away, he was about to apologize for the accident, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Shi Fengyue's index finger touching his lower lip. Mingming only thought it was an accident when he backed away, but now he suddenly felt a burning sensation from his back to the back of his ears, and he coughed softly: "I'm sorry." It was an accident just now.
The next six words were swallowed again.
"It's okay." Shi Fengyue lightly rubbed his lower lip, put down his hand and said, "It was just an accident."
The two parties opened their mouths, and the other three present also recovered from the shock. He Qianmin had a lot to say, but his eyes met when he was sitting a lot farther away than before, but he seemed to be When there was a special atmosphere flowing between the two of them, he scooped up a large spoonful of rice and put it into his mouth, lowered his head and chewed hard.
The meal ended like this, the restaurant was not far from the hotel, and Shi Fengyue didn't drive, so they could only walk back. Qian Yi and Zhao Lin quickly disappeared into the crowd and disappeared without a trace as before.
Jiang Chen and Shi Fengyue walked on both sides of He Qianmin, one on the left and the other on the right. He Qianmin was sandwiched between them, and suddenly regretted coming to Nanxing on impulse.
"Have you been to Nan Province before?"
"No." After such a long period of buffering, Jiang Chen had already recovered, and when he heard Shi Fengyue speak first, he naturally followed his words: "Is there anything interesting in Mingcheng?"
"There is a street with folk customs nearby, and there are many handicrafts." Shi Fengyue said, "Would you like to take a look?"
Jiang Chen was about to buy some gifts for his parents and the He family, so he said without hesitation, "Let's go."
Even though it was almost the end of the new year, Mingcheng was still warm, which was in stark contrast to the weather in Yanshi, which had dropped to minus ten degrees. Because of this, there is an endless stream of tourists visiting Mingcheng during the winter vacation, and Mingsu Street is very lively.
The three people who were originally side by side were quickly separated by the crowd.
Jiang Chen grabbed Shi Fengyue's wrist and pulled him to his side, "You stand here first, Qian Min is gone, I'll go back and look for him."
"me and you together."
"There are too many people." Jiang Chen said: "It will be crowded again later, you wait for me here, I will be right back."
Shi Fengyue grabbed Jiang Chen's hand, and said in a loose tone, "This way they won't be squeezed apart."
Sparse and ordinary tone, as if it is only natural for two people to hold hands. Jiang Chen couldn't help but wonder if he and Huo Bo, Shen Xu, and the others had too little physical contact before, that's why he thought it was strange for two men to hold hands.
Before Jiang Chen had time to think, he was dragged by Shi Fengyue and squeezed into the crowd.
He Qianmin was not far behind. Jiang Chen and Shi Fengyue were tall, and they were very eye-catching when standing in the crowd. Although he was pushed away, he could still see them and kept walking in their direction. He Shifengyue came back, knowing that they were looking for him, He Qianmin raised his hand.
Shi Fengyue's gaze collided with his. After He Qianmin looked at him for a moment, he saw Shi Fengyue suddenly bowed his head and said something in Jiang Chen's ear. Then, they went in the other direction.
He Qianmin stood there in a daze for a moment, only to realize that he had been tricked when he recalled the corners of Shi Fengyue's lips before he lowered his head just now.
"elder brother!"
He Qianmin jumped up and yelled.
Across the noisy crowd, Jiang Chen seemed to have sensed something, and was about to turn around, "The person in front looks a bit like He Qianmin."
Jiang Chen followed Shi Fengyue's line of sight, and only saw a corner of the man's clothes, which were indeed very similar to the coat He Qianmin was wearing today.
"Qianmin!"
Jiang Chen yelled, and pulled Shi Fengyue to chase over there.
Shi Fengyue turned his head, raised one corner of his mouth, and waved his hand lazily at He Qianmin.
"What a dog!"
He Qianmin was so angry that he jumped, pushed aside the crowd and chased after him.
