Back in the room, Mother Xin came over with a smile, put her arm around her and asked quietly, "I think you get along well with others. I thought that child from the Cheng family would be as big and burly as a big man, but I didn't expect him to be quite handsome and so gentle."
Xin Gan was a bit tired. Sitting on the sofa, her eyes caught sight of the cup filled with tea on the tea tray. She picked it up and drank.
Cheng Jiu doesn't like taking photos. The photos brought by the Cheng family back then were from his college years, but they were somewhat distorted. In the photos, Cheng Jiu looked rather cold and serious, and didn't like to smile. At that time, he was full of hostility. After several years of training, his hostility has decreased a lot. So today, when Xin Mu saw Cheng Jiu, her impression of him has changed a lot.
Xin Gan still went out at night. Her mother specially asked her a question. When she was changing her shoes at the entrance, she stammered and said, "A friend invited me out for a stroll."
Which friend? How many people? When will you come back?
Xin Gan was not good at lying. He just said perfunctorily that he was in a hurry and left.
Cheng Jiu sent her a text message telling her that the location was in the park near her home. It was late at night and there were quite a lot of people in the park. Xin Gan took a bath and changed her clothes before coming out. She hadn't even had dinner yet. Who would have thought that he would suddenly send her a text message? Seeing the message, she hurriedly came out.
Cheng Jiu also changed into a set of clothes, sitting on a single pole and smoking a cigarette. The dim street lamp shone on him, casting a halo all over his body, which was also to make it easier for Xin Gan to find him when he arrived.
Xin Gan wore a pair of flat sandals, a long dress that reached her knees, and her hair naturally hung over her shoulders. Standing there, she did nothing, which was enough to catch his eye.
He threw away his cigarette and strode towards her.
He walked up to him. Xin Gan subconsciously took a few steps back and said, "What do you want from me?"
Cheng Jiu stood still, his jawline taut and the lines smooth. He was serious and silent, which was terrifying.
"Date."
Xin Gan bit her lip and said, "Are you sure?"
"Um."
Xin Gan thought for a moment and said, "Cheng Jiu, to be honest, I don't want to play around with you."
"Let's talk later. Come with me."
Where to go again?
"Once you go, you'll know. Anyway, you're already here." "
Xin Gan could only go with him.
He slowed down and waited for her to catch up.
There was a Land Rover parked by the roadside. Cheng Jiu got in first. Xin Gan hesitated. He rolled down the car window and stuck his head out, saying, "Get in."
Where to?
You'll know when you go.
Xin Gan didn't get into the car. Standing still, she frowned and asked, "If you didn't say I wouldn't go, I wanted to go home."
Cheng Jiu chuckled softly, "Xin Gan, I'm leaving tomorrow, tonight."
...
Cheng Jiu always drove steadily. She knew that on that night on the plateau, in such a dangerous and urgent situation, he had never panicked. There was not a trace of panic on his face.
Xin Gan was lost in thought for a while, not knowing where he was taking her. She couldn't help but ask him, "Where exactly are we going?"
You'll know when you go.
Cheng Jiu didn't plan to tell her now. He just focused on driving.
Xin Gan saw that the lights outside the car window were gradually fading away, and the area was getting more and more remote. It drove away from the city center as if heading towards the suburbs.
There were only a few cars on the road. It was pitch-dark outside. The moonlight in the city was dim. The sky seemed to have been smeared with ink, with no light at all.
Xin Gan fell silent and turned her head to look out of the car window.
Cheng Jiu probably understood her feelings and comforted her, saying, "Don't be afraid. I won't act rashly."
Xin Gan still didn't turn around, only showing the back of his head.
At this moment, the phone rang again. Cheng Jiu took it over and glanced at it. It was a message from He Chuan.
Everyone is here. Have you come yet? '
Cheng Jiu put down his mobile phone and continued driving.
Half an hour later, Cheng Jiu arrived a little late. When he got there, the area halfway up the mountain was already filled with parked cars, with lights on. Many people were standing by the cars talking, and there were also quite a few girls in revealing clothes.
Cheng Jiu drove the car to one side. Before he could get out, someone came over and knocked on the car window. Cheng Jiu rolled down the window and said, "Brother Chuan is sleeping. I'll go and call him. Please wait a moment."
Cheng Jiu: "Where's He Cheng?"
"Yes, all are."
After saying that, the man walked away and went to call He Chuan.
Xin Gan was also taken by surprise when Cheng Jiu mentioned He Cheng's name. However, it was true that Cheng Jiu and He Chuan were friends and had a good relationship. He Cheng was also He Chuan's younger brother, so it was quite normal for Cheng Jiu to know He Cheng.
The car window wasn't rolled up. The evening breeze blew in, making it a bit cool. Cheng Jiu then opened the car door and said, "Would you like some fresh air?"
Xin Gan said, "What are they going to do and what are you going to do?"
Cheng Jiu took a drag on his cigarette and said, "We'll know soon."
What on earth are you going to do? Xin Gan also got out of the car and questioned him.
Cheng Jiu took out his phone, checked the time, blew a puff of smoke, and then put it back in, "Deal with a bit of personal matters."
Xin Gan's heart gave a jolt. Her sixth sense told her that the personal matter Cheng Jiu had mentioned was more or less related to her, because he had just mentioned He Cheng.
She wasn't sure and didn't dare to speak out. She wasn't sure if this matter had anything to do with her.
The vision was too dim for Xin Gan to make out Cheng Jiu's expression. She only asked about the smell of cigarettes. He was a heavy smoker, and she knew it very well. This time, he would smoke right in front of her, without end.
At this moment, Kagawa was woken up. Rubbing his eyes, he walked over.
"Hi, Miss Xin. See you again."
Xin Gan frowned deeply and said, "Hello, Mr. He."
I don't need to introduce myself. He Chuan smiled slightly and asked Cheng Jiu again, "Are you leaving tomorrow?"
Cheng Jiu said, "Yes, let's go tomorrow."
So anxious? I thought you would stay a few more days when you came back so that we could get together.
Cheng Jiu narrowed his eyes and said, "There's still a holiday at the end of the year. Let's get together then. We'll deal with the business first. What about the others?"
In the car, are you going over?
"Well, go and say a few words." Cheng Jiu took a few steps, turned back to look at Xin Gan and said, "Wait for me in the car. I'll be back soon."
He Chuan smiled and said, "Is it necessary to explain so meticulously? Miss Xin is not a child."
Xin Gan stood still, not knowing what to do. She had no idea what was about to happen before her eyes. All she could feel was that her eyelid kept twitching, and it was her right eye.
She is not superstitious, but now she is deeply worried.
He Chuan didn't follow. Suddenly, he became interested and said, "Miss Xin, if anything happens later, you have to stay calm. To put it bluntly, don't get involved."
Xin Gan didn't say a word because it had nothing to do with her. Cheng Jiu had only brought her here but had no intention of involving her.
Cheng Jiu walked up to He Cheng's car. He didn't need to knock on the car window. He Cheng, who was in the driver's seat, rolled down the window and looked at him. When He Cheng saw him, he suddenly grinned and said, "Brother Cheng Jiu, see you again."
Cheng Jiu also smiled, with a mischievous air, and said, "Yes, we see you again."
What a coincidence, Brother Cheng Jiu.
Cheng Jiu didn't delve deeply into the fact that his words coincidentally had several layers of meaning. He said straightforwardly, "Tonight, as you wish, I'll bet with you. If I win, please don't bother her."
He Cheng said, "Why didn't you say so? Then you lost."
I won't lose.
"Nothing is absolute, Cheng Jiu. I'm not the He Cheng I used to be. Since I dare to tell He Chuan to compete with you, I won't lose." "
Cheng Jiu said he knew and then smiled, "Yes. During those years abroad, you worked hard to learn to drive and were quite diligent. But He Cheng, some things don't always win just by working hard. When I was playing with cars, you were still in junior high school."
Cheng Jiu was indeed quite flamboyant at this moment. His personality was always like this, especially when he was in college. He loved to play and knew how to play, never restraining himself. It was only later that he gradually became more restrained and quieted down.
Although he hasn't touched a racing car for many years, he is no stranger to it at all. He loves to play and has a talent for it. He once participated in racing competitions and won awards. Later, after graduation, he went to Beiyu and stopped playing it.
He Cheng also loves cars. During his years abroad, he joined a racing club, where he became an apprentice and learned racing from that master.
There are far more car racing competitions abroad than in China. He Cheng has participated in many of them, big and small, and has won awards. This is no big deal for him. He is very confident that he can beat Cheng Jiu.
Some time ago, He Chuan locked him up and wouldn't let him go. He guessed it was because of Xin Gan, so he confronted He Chuan. At that time, He Chuan said he was overestimating himself, so He proposed to compete with Cheng Jiu once.
He Chuan thought he was too arrogant and really spoiled by his family. He was too lazy to care anymore. But when Cheng Jiu learned about the competition He Cheng proposed, Cheng Jiu agreed and promised to come and compete.
He Cheng is still young and full of fighting spirit.
Cheng Jiu didn't waste words with him either. He patted the roof of the car and said, "OK. Good luck to you."
He Cheng was extremely disgusted with his nonchalance, just as it was back then. He remembered it, always remembered it.
...
Xin Gan was sitting in the car looking at her phone. She turned off the screen and then turned it on again. Her face flickered, and the light from the phone screen illuminated the unease on her face.
Thinking that Cheng Jiu would only be back for one day and leave tomorrow, as long as he could get through tonight, there would be nothing wrong. But in the end, he had to compete with He Cheng.
