Chapter 60 The Rope on the Balloon

On the way back, Sun Jianchuan didn't get in the car driven by Wei Jia, and would rather go back by motorcycle with the other two horsemen who sent his relatives off.Duan Yanfei got to know him well, and tried to persuade him a few times, but he still rode away in the cold wind.

Duan Yanfei returned to the passenger seat of the car that Wei Jia had borrowed, and Chen Xi was already sitting in the back seat.She asked the other two people in the car: "What happened to Chuanzi?"

Chen Xi shrugged, and Wei Jia also said he didn't know.Duan Yanfei found that Chen Xi and Wei Jia had very little conversation, but if they were not familiar with each other, she remembered that Chen Xi lived in Wei's house for a while, and Wei Le even jokingly called Chen Xi sister-in-law.Is it because of this that the two young people deliberately avoided suspicion?Duan Yanfei tried to defuse the dull atmosphere in the car, and talked about some interesting things that happened when she saw off her relatives this morning.But neither of them were interested in chatting.Chen Xi must have not slept well last night, even light makeup couldn't cover up the dark circles under her eyes, she said "you talk", and kept her eyes closed.Although Wei Jia responded to Duan Yanfei with a smile, that smile was also perfunctory.Duan Yanfei sighed and looked at the scenery outside the window with interest.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Xi felt in a daze that the car had stopped, and there were voices and car horns outside.She opened her eyes and found herself in a completely strange place, and she was the only one in the car.At this moment, Wei Jia came back, and his men turned to her at half an arm's length away and asked her, "Are you awake?"

Chen Xi stared at his face without blinking. This undisguised stare made Wei Jia mistakenly think that there was something foreign on her face, so she wiped it off with her hand uncomfortably. struggled out.This is just a simple gas station in a small town, and the person sitting in the front row is still the half stranger who keeps a friendly distance from her.

She asked, "Where did Sister Yan go?"

"Just passing by the market in the town, she saw a folk performance and said she wanted to go and buy something by the way. You fell asleep so I didn't wake you up. She will meet us in the parking lot of the gas station in half an hour. Meet up. It's still early, and the market is not far ahead, do you want to go?"

"I'm a little sleepy, I don't want to move." Chen Xi would not admit that he was the one who disturbed him and tossed and turned for a minute last night and didn't sleep well.

Wei Jia nodded and smiled: "Yes, you are a weak jasmine."

He successfully reminded Chen Xi of the cold scene when he picked up the bride in the morning.She said: "I didn't mean to spoil the situation. I thought that elementary school students knew the answer to that brain teaser. Didn't you all have childhood?"

"At that time, everyone was in a hurry and didn't react for a while."

"Why are you not in a hurry?"

Chen Xi saw with his own eyes that Wei Jia had whispered a few words to the groom, and the answer was passed to the groom's ears.

"What's the rush for me?" Wei Jia said, throwing a candy to Chen Xi, "You didn't eat anything today, be careful to turn into a dead jasmine."

That sugar eye was very familiar, Chen Xi protested, "Hey, your sister gave it to you specially."

"Eat it. Wei Le is childish, are you just like her? I prepared these candies for the banquet these days, and they are everywhere in the racecourse and at home."

"She remembers what you like to eat, this is her heart!"

"I know. If you don't want candy don't leave it in the car, it'll attract ants."

Chen Xi closed her mouth, and Wei Jia also looked at the dashboard quietly.The two of them seemed to be doing the same thing with incomparable concentration - waiting for Duan Yanfei to come back.

Chen Xi has a strange problem, she likes to talk to Wei Jia.She couldn't explain where the strong desire to tell came from, she was not a particularly enthusiastic person, and Wei Jia was not easy to get close to, but since the first day she knew him, their communication has always been natural And smooth.Being unfamiliar with each other's world does not prevent them from understanding each other, at least Chen Xi thinks so.Even if it was this reunion, they had accumulated a lot of thoughts in their respective experiences, and she had never felt distanced from him. She still had a lot of things she was willing to say to him, and she wanted to hear his voice—that Abandoning the shell of reason and sophistication, he is a bit rotten, a bit silly, but he is solid and clean inside.

Now Chen Xi's full stomach hit Wei Jia's "shell", and an inflated balloon was born alive, and the exit was tied by an invisible string.

What is this rope?

Maybe she shouldn't have asked for that horsewhip last night. She was also obsessed with ghosts at the time. What did she want for that?Sun Jianchuan was also involved, and now the rope is tied even tighter.

Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered that she still had something to ask him.It just so happened that Wei Jia also chose to break the silence at this time.

"you……"

"that……"

"You talk first." Wei Jia turned around.

Chen Xi asked directly, "Why did Chuanzi call you to the horse servant early this morning?"

"It's nothing, we chatted about horse racing for a while. Tomorrow the county's horse racing event will be held on our pasture, and you can come and see it."

"I don't want to see any races. Don't make me talk so hard to you?"

"What exactly do you want to hear?"

"Chuanzi told me everything. He asked you for a horsewhip last night, but you didn't give it to him. He even 'accidentally' told me about my breakup. He's different from you, he can't keep his mouth shut I can’t hide things in my heart...it’s not important, I want to know what happened this morning. If it’s still related to that horsewhip, it’s related to me.”

"you can……"

"Of course I can ask Chuanzi, but I'm asking you now. I'll say it again, don't use your tricks to fool me. Then you will go around in circles. Are you Taiji Zhang Sanfeng? You don't have to tell the truth, just pretend that I just said Everything you said was barking like a dog, and if I talk to you in the future, you will be a dead dog!"

Wei Jia had never seen such self-destructive interrogation before.However, Zhang Sanfeng is also afraid of dead dogs three points.

Last night, Sun Jianchuan asked Wei Jia for a horsewhip but failed. He did not give up and proposed to have a horse riding competition with Wei Jia. Whoever ran to the designated place first would get the horsewhip.Wei Jia naturally did not agree.After returning to the service point, Sun Jianchuan heard that Wei Jia would represent the racecourse to participate in the horse racing at the Tourism Festival. Early this morning, he deliberately stopped Wei Jia at the stable, saying that he also decided to sign up for the race.If he wins the game, I hope Wei Jia can give him that horsewhip.

Wei Jia's statement was lukewarm, but Chen Xi could still imagine the naive words Chuanzi said when he "invited to fight".Sun Jianchuan skipped the horse race in his "confession" to her, and he probably knew that with Chen Xi's temper it would be difficult to accept this bet related to her.Chen Xi gritted her back molars and secretly scolded Sun Jianchuan for being a big idiot, what's wrong with him!But he is such a person, there is an inexplicable passion and childishness in his bones, and he is so stupid that he is very serious.In contrast, Chen Xi cared more about Wei Jia's attitude.

"You promised him?" she asked.

Wei Jia said: "Last night he drank, riding a horse is too dangerous. But tomorrow's event is organized by the county, and anyone who is over 18 years old can sign up."

"What I'm asking is if he wins, will you give him the whip?"

"Chen Xi, I don't want to give you the horsewhip because it's so important. That horsewhip was made by my mother. She died, and she won't come back to life if I keep something. The handle of the horsewhip broke once , in my mother's custom, a broken whip is unlucky..."

"You also know that the whip is not important."

They all knew very well that this was not a matter of a whip at all.

"I don't have to participate in the competition tomorrow. Chuanzi wants that horsewhip. If you don't mind it being broken, just take it. This way he is happy, and you are also happy."

Chen Xi was not happy at all, and said coldly: "Are you really beautiful as an adult, or are you being cowardly? Let me tell you, since the last horse riding accident, Chuanzi went back and worked hard on equestrian skills. He is now much better than before. Are you afraid of losing to him?"

Her provocation was not very clever, but Wei Jia rarely listened to it. He asked, "You want me to lose?"

"Does winning or losing mean anything to you?" Chen Xi said mockingly, "The candy Lele gave, the whip left by your mother, your studies...these are not important, how can a game be worth it for you?" Fight for it. I've always wondered if all your feelings are just a burden to you?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." Wei Jia whispered.

Chen Xi was disappointed but not surprised.She was thinking that the so-called mutual understanding might just be her unilateral illusion.Not only did she get the wrong idea two years ago, but today and now!They are not even considered friends.He refuses to open up about himself, and doesn't care what she thinks.What qualifications does she have to judge him?That rope was just used by him to stop a lunatic who was talking to each other from crossing the line.

Chen Xi stopped wasting her efforts in vain and closed her eyes sleepily.She personally sent Wei Le to marry, witnessed Wei Le's heartfelt smile on this day, and it was worth getting to know them once, this trip was not in vain.She will leave early tomorrow morning, and this place will have nothing to do with her in the future.

The car window was opened a little, and the wind that came in from outside blew the strands of hair, covering half of Chen Xi's cheeks.Wei Jia looked at her from the rearview mirror, she closed her eyes and remained silent.

"Fell asleep?"

"What?"

"are not you cold?"

"What did you want to say just now? It's your turn."

"What... Oh, it will take more than an hour to go back. I want to ask you if you want to go to the toilet."

"Are you going to go hand in hand with me, or are you afraid that I will pee in your car? I'm not cold, and I don't want to pee! If you have nothing else to say, you can also pretend to be asleep."

"Why did you break up?"

Wei Jia asked this question in the same tone as when he asked Chen Xi "Is it cold", "Are you hungry", "Do you want to pee?"She brushed the hair off her face and said, "Do you think it's suitable for us to discuss such a private topic?"

"Can't you tell me?"

"Don't worry, it has nothing to do with you."

Half an hour later, Duan Yanfei returned to the car with a full harvest.She found that Chen Xi was still asleep, Wei Jia was still the same, but talked less, and the car was chilly.
