Chapter 23: Chapter 23
After the match ended, everyone left the game.
Zhai Liang went to Yu Tu's room, "Yu Tu, are you bored out of your mind, wanting to pick a time when her parents are at home to go over?"
Yu Tu took the coat and went out: "Are you bored out of your mind?"
On the other side of the city, Qiao Jing Jing put down her mobile phone and hurriedly walked out of the bedroom. She spoke to Xiao Zhu, who was standing guard in the living room. "Xiao Zhu, quickly remove the packaging of the newly purchased air purifier."
After saying that, she rushed back to the bedroom to put on makeup. Half an hour later, she came out, grabbed Xiao Zhu, turning her so her gaze was on her face: "See if my makeup is too thick?"
An exquisite top-notch beautiful face was close at hand. Although Xiao Zhu has seen it every day, she still stared in awe now. Qiao Jing Jing let go of her, "Really too thick?"
While muttering, she went back to the bedroom.
Xiao Zhu:
"???"
After fifteen minutes, Qiao Jing Jing came out again, already with a fresh and lovely new look. She was wearing a loose-fitting large sweater, revealing her slender and fair straight and long legs. With a loosely tied ponytail, she looked just like a fresh and lovely pretty girl.
"Look girly enough?"
If it was another person, Xiao Zhu will probably say that she was really just too shameless, but at this moment she could only dazedly, cheerily, and with utter conviction say, "Girly! So, Jing Jing, what actually are you doing?"
It was already so late in the day. What was the point of changing her makeup?
Pleased, Qiao Jing Jing clapped her hands and moved towards the air purifier: "Damage the air purifier."
Yu Tu followed the stream of people to walk out of the subway station. The night breeze blew over. He slowed down his footsteps. All of a sudden, he felt that everything was a little unbelievable. He had never expected there would be a day where he would go to meet an online friend. The wonderful thing about life is probably its unpredictability. It was just like a few years ago, he had firmly believed he would work hard and put in his best for his interest and ideals for his entire lifetime, but then in the end, he still lost to reality.
The address given by Cotton was not far from the subway station, about a ten-minute walk.
It looked like the security for this neighborhood was very strict. A girl in her twenties was already waiting at the gate. She was holding a mobile phone. From the time he appeared, she looked very excited and stared at him.
Yu Tu walked over to her, "Cotton?"
The girl immediately clenched her fist and covered her mouth in a very anime-like way. She stared at him, sizing him up in excitement, and after a long time, she stammered, "No, no, I am not Cotton, I am her assistant. She is waiting for you at home. I'll take you there."
It really was not Cotton's voice. However, didn't Cotton say that she was a newcomer in her workplace? How could she have an assistant?
Yu Tu was a little puzzled, but he still kept up with her pace.
Along the way, the girl turned her head and 'stole glances' at him from time to time. Once, she happened to meet Yu Tu's gaze, and she immediately felt embarrassed. "Uh, my name is Xiao Zhu. It's the innermost building, a bit far."
Yu Tu nodded, "It's okay."
They walked for a few more minutes.
"We are almost there." Xiao Zhu led Yu Tu, walking forward quickly. Suddenly, she stopped, looked up ahead, and shouted in surprise: "Jing Jing, why did you come down by yourself?"
Jing Jing?
Suddenly something flashed through in Yu Tu's mind. He instantly raised his eyes and looked, and then he was stunned.
Not far away, the lights in the lobby were shining brightly. A tall and slender woman was standing there, lifting her head slightly to look at the posting on a notice board. Her side profile faced him. She wore a big hat and mask, revealing only a pair of deep bright eyes on the entire face, but still, she set off this entire scene so that it seemed like a flawless light painting photograph. When she heard the sound of speaking, her long lashes gave a flutter and she turned her head.
All of a sudden, that pair of lively, sparkling eyes looked at him, seemingly fixated for a few seconds before flashing a hint of a mischievous smiling expression.
"I was afraid someone might think I'm too much of a big shot, so I came down to meet you."
It was Qiao Jing Jing.
They hadn't seen each other for ten years, since the university entrance examinations. Maybe it was incorrect to say that. In fact, he could see her everywhere, in various kinds of news media, all kinds of screen sizes, even subway advertisements, bus stops; her presence was everywhere.
Looking at that woman who was smiling at him not far away, Yu Tu couldn't help but dazedly feel that — he probably was having a remarkable and wondrous encounter.
Qiao Jing Jing was also looking at Yu Tu. She thought of a very popular saying. How did it go?
Oh, it seemed to be —
You've retained the purity and innocence of youth.
She had been running about chasing fame and fortune in the world of mortals, but this person was still the same, his eyes bright and clear.
