I Love Contract Couples So Much Chapter 27

Chapter 27 A defection: forgetfulness or good attitude

Cheng Yuxin was a little afraid of returning to his hometown. Although he was an only child, his father had eight brothers and sisters: three brothers at the top, two brothers at the bottom, and three sisters in the middle.

These eight brothers and sisters gave birth to a large group of Cheng Yuxin’s cousins.Cheng Yuxin was unfamiliar with most of these cousins ​​and couldn’t even name them.In Cheng Yuxin’s limited memory of returning to her hometown, once she steps into that place, endless troubles will follow.Regardless of whether he knew someone or not, was familiar with him or not, could be called by name but could not be called by name, every uncle, uncle, brother, sister, old, young, babbled, all acted very close to him, were warm to him, and talked to him about everything.After dealing with them one by one, Cheng Yuxin felt as if he had participated in a protracted long march.

Cheng Yu hung up the phone with lingering fear, and even felt that compared to the relatives in his hometown who kept talking vague words but could never get rid of them, the Jiang Chen in front of him had actually become more amiable and approachable.

——That’s weird!

Thinking of what happened last night, Cheng Yuxin wondered if he had just lost his mind.

At this time, Jiang Chen had already packed his luggage.Seeing that he had finished the phone call, he said, “Let’s go.”

Cheng Yuxin was about to nod when something suddenly occurred to her: “Shall we go back to Qincheng?”

“Go back to my house.”

Cheng Yuxin didn’t know where Jiang Chen’s family was, but as long as it wasn’t Qincheng, it was good news for him.

After Jiang Chenyan answered, he dragged his luggage out the door.Cheng Yuxin quickly followed: “Where is your home? How can we get there? What should I do with my car…”

Jiang Chen stopped.Cheng Yuxin didn’t brake in time and bumped into his back.

Cheng Yuxin held her nose that was sore and painful from being hit, and physiological tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

“How do you want to go?” Jiang Chen turned around and looked at him and asked.His eyes naturally fell on Cheng Yuxin’s neck. The band-aid was gone, and only the scabbed wound stung Jiang Chen’s eyes.

“Let’s take my car.” Cheng Yuxin said with tears in her eyes.

“Give me the key.” Jiang Chen’s eyes darkened, and his eyes moved to the door frame next to him.

After getting the key, Jiang Chen took out his mobile phone to search for a local driver.Because the distance was far enough and the reward was enough, I found one quickly.Seeing the distance between the driver and him, Jiang Chen took a taxi and took a taxi to the hotel.

The two returned to the hotel where they stayed yesterday. The guests had dispersed, and the posters and signboards had also been removed.Apart from the occasional flowers left behind, there was no sign that a grand wedding had just been held here.

Cheng Yuxin lowered his head and found that his steps were quite steady.It seems the withdrawal is having an effect.

Cheng Yuxin felt her heart revive a little, and looked up to see a familiar vehicle coming towards her.When I got in the car, I realized that the driver’s face was very unfamiliar.Cheng Yuxin was a little surprised that Jiang Chen would find a substitute driver.

Obviously both of them can drive.

He looked at the silent person sitting next to him, and when he saw that the other person still looked cold and stern, he said nothing.

Jiang Chen was waiting for when Cheng Yuxin would complain that he was hungry.Sure enough, as soon as the car got on the highway, Cheng Yuxin couldn’t sit still. She looked out the window for a while, and then looked at Jiang Chen.But I don’t know whether it’s because I’m embarrassed or just afraid, but I just don’t want to speak.

Jiang Chen took out the food he bought from the convenience store last night, and when Cheng Yuxin looked at him again, he handed it over.

Sure enough, a surprised expression was seen on Cheng Yuxin’s face.

Jiang Chen felt that his heart, which had been blocked, felt a little relieved.But the knife blade inserted into the wound still hurts into the bone marrow.The high fever subsided, and waking up made people even more miserable.

Jiang Chen took out a bottle of beer from the bag in the convenience store, bit off the cap and drank it.

Cheng Yuxin was engrossed in his sandwich.Before opening the package, Cheng Yuxin read the date of the sandwich. It was produced yesterday, but why is it still warm?

Even when Jiang Chen drank the entire bottle of beer, Cheng Yuxin still had only eaten a third of his sandwich.

Jiang Chen has a good drinking capacity, and he was always the main drinker at work dinner parties before he was laid off.But after not drinking for so long, a bottle of beer actually made him a little drunk.

Maybe it would be the same without alcohol, he thought to himself as he looked at Cheng Yu beside him with his drunken eyes.

By this time, Cheng Yuxin had finished the sandwich and his hunger had been relieved, but a new problem came again. He wanted to drink something, but there was only one bottle of beer left in the bag Jiang Chen handed over.

It turned out that she only asked for a driver because she wanted to drink. Cheng Yuxin looked at the beer and was speechless.A person who likes to drink so much actually tolerated it until now before showing his flaws. This person is indeed scarier than he thought.

Cheng Yuxin didn’t want to drink, so he looked at the driver in the front row: “Hello, can you stop at the service area and buy something?”

Before the driver could answer, Jiang Chen said angrily: “No!”

So the driver said nothing and concentrated on driving.

Seeing that there was no hope of parking, Cheng Yuxin asked again: “Hello, how long does it take to get to the destination?”

Jiang Chen was silent this time.The driver observed the situation in the back row for a while and made sure that he would not get angry if he spoke at this time. Then he said: “Two hours.”

Two hours doesn’t seem like a long time, Cheng Yu thought to himself.But he had just finished a whole sandwich and was really thirsty.

Cheng Yuxin had no choice but to take out the beer from the bag and looked at Jiang Chen for help: “Can you open it for me?” His eyes were cautious and expectant.

Jiang Chen looked at his burning eyes and wanted to laugh.He was obviously scared to death the night before, but now he knew that he had to ask for help.

Should I say he is forgetful or has a good attitude?

Apparently the latter.Although he had known for a long time that Cheng Yuxin’s family had excellent conditions and a harmonious family atmosphere. His family had given him enough tolerance and confidence to be frank and comfortable in whatever he did.

But the more this happened, the more Jiang Chen wanted to see him panic.Thinking like this, Jiang Chen’s face still looked cold. He took the beer in his hand and opened it as skillfully as before, but did not hand it to Cheng Yuxin.

Cheng Yuxin waited for a while and saw that the other party had no intention of giving the beer to her, so she reached out and took it, not forgetting to politely say “thank you” to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen really laughed this time, humming from his nose.With ridicule, envy, and jealousy that even he himself doesn’t understand…

Cheng Yuxin didn’t care at all.I took a careful sip of the beer. It was a little cold, but it was drinkable.Only then did Cheng Yuxin feel relieved and slowly drank in small sips.

Cheng Yuxin only drank a little and then stopped.In his opinion, wine is meaningful only when it is used to relieve sorrow.Although he wasn’t very happy at the moment, he wasn’t to the point of numbing himself with alcohol.

Cheng Yuxin was doing nothing with the remaining half of the bottle of wine in her hand. She was debating whether to let the driver stop the car and pour the remaining wine when the bottle was suddenly snatched away.It’s Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen originally wanted to see the other party drunk, but Cheng Yuxin only drank a little before she started to freeze while holding the bottle.

Jiang Chen looked inexplicably unhappy. Maybe he wanted to make Cheng Yuxin angry on purpose, or maybe he was just addicted to alcohol. Jiang Chen grabbed the bottle and took a long gulp.

Cheng Yuxin was stunned for only a moment and realized that drinking it would save the time of parking the car.

He is now a little curious about what Jiang Chen’s home will be like.

Jiang Chen said he wanted to go home, and he really meant going home.Jiang Chen’s hometown.

To be precise, it was the home that was protected by Cheng Yuxin’s one million.

For several years after his father passed away, Jiang Chen never wanted to return to this place.Until a few years ago, when the village renovated its houses, Jiang Chen was notified to return to the village to sign.When he saw the small but cozy house in his memory dilapidated due to disrepair, Jiang Chen suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.

He couldn’t lose this place.This is his only connection with home.

In fact, the renovated house has not changed much from before. Except for the repairs on the roof and exterior walls, it can be seen that it is new. The interior of the house is still the same as when Jiang Chen left it.

So as soon as Cheng Yuxin stepped into the door of this small house, she felt happy.No matter how prosperous the Cheng family was, it was inevitable that they would have a few poor relatives, and he had seen many of them when he followed his father back to his hometown.But even the poorest family is not like this one.

All joking aside, when Cheng Yuxin was in college, she went to teach in a rural primary school in the Gobi Desert. Houses like this were rarely seen in the village.

In fact, the house looks quite decent from the outside.But inside the house, Cheng Yuxin once doubted, was it really a place where people lived?

There was almost no furniture, no cabinets or cupboards in sight, a small square table, a few small wooden stools, and two almost rotten futons.

The window in the living room is small and has no glass. A few thin wooden branches are skewed between the window frames, dividing the sunlight into fragmented polygons.

The walls were dark, and it was hard to tell whether they were overheated or simply aged.

Cheng Yuxin didn’t believe that just the erosion of time would turn an intact wall into this blackened state.

But what if there was a fire?Cheng Yuxin looked up. There was no suspended ceiling in the house, and he could directly see the wooden beams and dark roof.

Cheng Yuxin was a little scared and took half a step back.

Jiang Chen saw it.From the moment he walked in, his eyes were fixed on Cheng Yuxin and never left her.Seeing that he was frightened and suspicious by a dilapidated house, Jiang Chen finally smiled happily.

He came to his room as usual. He had tidied it up when he came back last time, so it looked extra clean now.

Jiang Chen pulled out a straw basket from under the bed, found a rag from the basket, wiped the dusty table and stools, and then moved the bedding to the yard to dry.

Cheng Yuxin stood there blankly, as if he hadn’t adapted to this place yet.

Jiang Chen ignored him and tidied up the inside and outside of the house again until there was nothing left to tidy up. He looked at the time and saw that it was almost lunch time.

There is only half a bag of rice left at home from a month ago.Jiang Chen thought of the cabbage in the cellar of his neighbor’s grandma’s house, and without saying hello, he went straight down and brought up two cabbages.

The kitchen has just been cleaned and no additional cleaning is needed.Jiang Chen simply picked cabbage, washed rice, and lit a fire. After a while, the aroma of rice wafted out.
