Can you please stop hating

The next day.

Yu Xi had a hangover last night and woke up with a splitting headache the next day.

Especially with the cell phone ringing next to my ear, it was just too much.

Her eyes were still sore and tired, so she opened them a crack, picked up her cell phone and took a look. It was Yang Huijuan calling.

In an instant, my mind seemed to become much clearer.

Yu Xi rubbed her eyes and answered the call: "Hello?"

"It's almost one o'clock now, are you still not awake?" Yang Huijuan's voice came.

Yu Xi lied, "I was taking a nap just now."

Yang Huijuan: "Oh, are you still at work?"

Yu Xi hummed vaguely and asked directly: "What's the matter with you calling me?"

Yang Huijuan would not call her without reason.

Yang Huijuan said with a smile: "The Chinese New Year is only half a month away. You can come home and stay for a while, and then go back to work after the Chinese New Year."

Hearing this, Yu Xi's heart moved slightly. This was her first New Year away from home to go to school, and she didn't expect that Yang Huijuan would take the initiative to ask her to go back.

Perhaps because she was looking forward to it, even though she had some doubts, Yu Xi still chose to agree: "Well, let me see the ticket."

Yang Huijuan: "Okay."

In fact, Yu Xi is a very home-loving person. Although she is tired of getting along with Yang Huijuan, Yu Li's shadow is everywhere in that place, and she is reluctant to leave.

Yu Xi had thought that she would have to spend the New Year outside this year, and she felt lonely, but now she couldn't help but feel a little happy.

After hanging up the phone, she opened the ticket purchasing app and searched for tickets from Huaning to Lingcheng in recent days.

It turned out that both train tickets and high-speed rail tickets were sold out.

There was no choice, Yu Xi could only be a substitute.

She was opening other ticket purchasing apps when she heard a knock on the door.

Yu Xi looked towards the door and found Jin Zhuoxiao standing by the door and said, "Get up, the meal is ready."

"Yeah." Yu Xi said as he put away his phone and prepared to get up and wash up.

During the meal, Yu Xi said, "I'm going home for the New Year. Please return my ID card to me later."

Jin Zhuoxiao paused and looked up at her: "When will you be back?"

Yu Xi: "Wait until you get a ticket."

Jin Zhuoxiao: "I'll take you back."

Yu Xi was slightly startled and refused: "No need."

She didn't want Jin Zhuoxiao to get in touch with her past, nor did she want Jin Zhuoxiao to go to where Yang Huijuan was.

Jin Zhuoxiao: "Then let's not talk about it."

Yu Xi frowned: "Why?"

Jin Zhuoxiao: "How do I know whether you went home or ran away again?"

Yu Xi: “…”

Yu Xi suddenly realized that she had dug a lot of holes for herself without realizing it.

She has a criminal record for this matter, so Jin Zhuoxiao is indeed more right.

Yu Xi thought for a moment and said, "I can show you my ticket, or you can wait until I enter the station before leaving."

Jin Zhuoxiao: "You are sincere in deceiving me, and I can't defend myself even if I want to."

Yu Xi was speechless: "Why would I lie to you?"

"I don't know why you lied to me," Jin Zhuoxiao paused, looked at Yu Xi and asked, "But haven't you lied to me enough?"

Yu Xi choked and looked away guiltily.

Jin Zhuoxiao: "If you don't have any evil intentions, what are you afraid of? Wouldn't it be more convenient for me to drive you?"

Yu Xi pursed her lips, not knowing how to answer.

Jin Zhuoxiao narrowed his eyes: "You really have other plans. It seems that I can't let you go out recently."

"Don't!" Yu Xi saw that the situation was not right and quickly responded, "If you don't mind the trouble, I can let you send it."

Jin Zhuoxiao: "No trouble, I just happen to be free, I can go to your hometown to play for a few days."

Yu Xi drooped her eyelids and said calmly, "My home is just a small county town, there's nothing fun to do there."

"That's because you've been here for too long," Jin Zhuoxiao asked, "When do you plan to come back?"

Yu Xi: "When are you free?"

Jin Zhuoxiao: "I'm always free."

Yu Xi thought about it and said, "Tomorrow."

Jin Zhuoxiao: "Okay."

*

It takes about two and a half hours to drive from Huaning to Lingcheng. Yu Xi packed her luggage the night before and set off with Jin Zhuoxiao at around ten o'clock the next day.

There was no traffic on the highway, and the two arrived in Lingcheng before half past twelve.

Jin Zhuoxiao: "Are there any good restaurants near your home?"

Yu Xi: "There is a pickled fish restaurant that tastes pretty good."

Jin Zhuoxiao: "Use my phone to find the route."

Yu Xi: “Yeah.”

The pickled fish restaurant that Yu Xi was talking about was not a high-end restaurant, but a small restaurant near Lingcheng No. 1 Middle School. She and Chen Wen had eaten there many times when they were in school.

As the car passed by No. 1 Middle School, Yu Xi couldn't help but look out the window.

At this time of year, the trees in the school have already lost all their leaves, leaving only bare branches.

The students have already gone on vacation, and the whole school is empty. It looks strangely desolate and quite sad.

Jin Zhuoxiao saw Yu Xi staring at the school and asked, "Did you go to school here before?"

Yu Xi: “Yeah.”

Jin Zhuoxiao glanced at the school and asked, "Can we still get in now?"

Yu Xi: "It's hard to get in if you're not a student. Now that we're on vacation, it's even harder to get in."

Jin Zhuoxiao said with some regret: "I wanted to go in and take a look, but now I can't go in."

Yu Xi retracted her gaze and said, "All schools are pretty much the same, there's nothing to see."

"I don't want to see the school," Jin Zhuoxiao said casually, "I just want to see where you used to live."

Yu Xi's eyelashes twitched, and she pursed her lips without saying anything.

After arriving at the place, Jin Zhuoxiao first looked for a place to park. Before leaving, Yu Xi specifically told him to drive a BMW, as the car would not be too conspicuous in the small county town.

However, Jin Zhuoxiao himself was quite eye-catching. The two of them walked from the parking lot to the sauerkraut fish restaurant, which was only a few hundred meters, and every passerby looked at them.

Especially the little girls, their excitement was all over their faces.

Just now, there was an old man selling fruits on the street who directly praised Jin Zhuoxiao for being tall and handsome, and asked him if he was a star.

Yu Xi was quite emotional. Some people are really born to be the protagonist and are the focus of attention wherever they go.

But it was too much of a focus and she couldn't stand it, so she decisively pulled Jin Zhuoxiao and ran away.

Only after walking into the store did Yu Xi feel a little relieved.

Jin Zhuoxiao raised his eyebrows: "Did you run into an enemy?"

Yu Xi: “Hmm?”

Jin Zhuoxiao: "Why else would you run?"

Yu Xi: “…”

What a cold joke.

Yu Xi said honestly: "I am just doing my job as a security guard for celebrities."

"Oh," Jin Zhuoxiao laughed and said jokingly, "You got it wrong. I'm the one who's here to be the security guard for the female star."

Yu Xi: "Stop talking nonsense, eat first, I'm hungry."

Jin Zhuoxiao replied lazily: "Yeah."

This pickled fish restaurant was run by a middle-aged couple. The auntie inside still remembered Yu Xi and was surprised to see her and said, "Yu Xi, long time no see. Are you on vacation?"

"Well," Yu Xi asked with a smile, "How are you doing recently?"

Auntie: "That's great. Why didn't Chen Wen come with you?"

Hearing this, Jin Zhuoxiao's eyes darkened slightly, and he interrupted with a smile: "Hello, Auntie."

When the aunt saw him, her eyes lit up: "Hello, hello, are you Yu Xi's boyfriend?"
