"Hey, I've finished practicing. They're the only ones practicing one last time. Why are you still here enjoying the air conditioning?"

"Don't you need to practice driving? Brother Liu scheduled our driving test (Part 3) for the day after tomorrow!"

"They even specifically scheduled it for the morning, saying that after the exam, they would go directly to the vehicle management office in the afternoon to take the written test (subject four). They were quite thoughtful."

In the driving school lobby, Zhang Xinyi plopped down on the sofa.

Chen Jianji picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.

"Brother Liu is definitely overthinking it."

"What do you mean?"

Zhang Xinyi's face showed confusion.

Chen Jianji chuckled.

"I can't pass the test at all, there's no need to think about it so much."

Zhang Xinyi immediately became furious, raised her hand and slapped his shoulder without any mercy.

"Hey, are you looking for a fight?!"

Chen Jianji laughed as he raised his hand to block the view.

"Alright, alright, the retake fee is separate."

"Try to do better and don't take the test so many times. I don't have much money left."

"snort!"

Zhang Xinyi then stopped.

"Don't you have quite a bit of savings?"

"Your driving lessons cost less than half of what you paid for. We haven't had any major expenses lately, just enough for you to buy some clothes and for the hotel room we paid for the other day."

Chen Jianji picked up his teacup again, took a sip, and said with a mysterious expression.

"I gave Zhang Zilian a part of it, and had him make money for me."

Zhang Xinyi's eyes widened immediately.

"Zhang is narcissistic?"

She said irritably.

"You might as well give it to me; at least I'd spend it right under your nose."

"He either goes online or goes out for food and drinks."

Chen Jianji nodded in agreement, and then sighed.

"Tsk, this kid is destined for a life of luxury."

Seeing this, Zhang Xinyi pursed her lips.

"Forget it, it's your own money anyway, it's none of my business."

As she was speaking, she suddenly saw the driving school car stop at the entrance.

A figure stepped out of the driver's seat.

Zhang Xinyi paused, then couldn't help but lean closer and whisper.

"She didn't look well today. Although her dark circles weren't as bad, she seemed a bit dazed."

Chen Jianji paused in his teacup, then gently put it down, his voice calm.

"It's probably low blood sugar. You'll be fine after eating something at lunchtime."

"Shall we still go to that restaurant together? I'll call her."

Just as Zhang Xinyi was about to get up...

Chen Jianji also stood up, but he spoke first.

"Let's not go to a restaurant, let's eat at home. Let's get in the car now."

Zhang Xinyi was stunned: "Huh?"

Before she could react...

Chan Kin-kei had already started walking out and leaving.

at this time.

Lin Qingxue also happened to walk into the driving school and picked up a road test route map from the front desk.

The two brushed past each other at the front desk.

Neither of them looked at the other.

Or perhaps.

The two of them deliberately avoided eye contact.

At the bus stop.

Chen Jianji sat on the stone chair, waiting quietly.

Zhang Xinyi was also standing nearby, waiting, but she kept looking back.

"Stop looking, the car is here."

"oh..."

Chi!

The bus stopped, and gas spewed out from the door piston rod.

Chen Jianji and Zhang Xinyi got on the bus and put in the fare.

There weren't many people around at that time, and there were plenty of empty seats on the bus.

Just as the two of them found a place to sit down...

Suddenly, someone came running from a distance and got into the car at the last moment before the door closed.

"It's Lin Qingxue. She didn't eat and took the car home. Her face is even paler."

Zhang Xinyi nudged the person next to her with her elbow.

Chen Jianji didn't even look at it.

"Not eating breakfast and not eating rice is their own fault."

Zhang Xinyi squinted, her tone enigmatic.

How do you know they didn't eat breakfast?

Chen Jianji didn't speak, he just quietly looked out the window.

So many years of getting along.

Putting aside other things.

Just based on her taste.

And her physical reactions to not eating.

It's hard for Chan Kin-kei not to know.

Lin Qingxue has never liked eating out.

Not only are they expensive, but the portions are also small and you don't get full.

Oh, it seems he's not getting enough to eat.

However, these small details are not important.

Until after childbirth when recovery is needed.

The doctor advised me to eat a light diet.

Lin Qingxue lost her appetite for food from outside.

All the dishes were pre-cooked, and even the freshly stir-fried ones had a pungent, wok-fried smell.

To outsiders, perhaps this wok hei (the smoky aroma imparted by a hot wok) is exactly what they want.

But for someone like Lin Qingxue who is indifferent to everything...

What the body needs and what has value is the most important.

Food and such can be put aside.

Chen Jianji's mind gradually drifted into memories, but he quickly regained his senses.

The pupils gradually regained focus.

Outside the car window, the scenery continued to flash by.

Chen Jianji looked on calmly, but just as he was about to look away...

He saw it reflected in the car window.

There was a blurry figure standing there, seemingly watching him as well.

Chen Jianji subconsciously turned around to look.

I saw the person standing on the middle railing.

It is Lin Qingxue.

She was facing away from us.

It seems that the reflection in the car window was just Chen Jianji's illusion.

Ding...

The announcement that the train had arrived at its destination came over the loudspeaker.

The front and rear doors are opened.

Chen Jianji saw Lin Qingxue loosen her grip on the railing and get out of the car.

He looked up and gazed out the window.

They then realized that the car had been parked at their high school sometime during that time.

The once bustling school gate.

It's almost deserted now.

Chi!

The valve is closed.

The bus slowly moved forward.

Only left.

Lin Qingxue standing at the bus stop at the school gate.

She looked up, and the sunlight fell on her cheeks.

It feels warm and cozy.

It dissipated much of the cold air that had been in the car.

Lin Qingxue felt as if her body had been replenished with some energy.

She took a deep breath and glanced around.

The street food stalls have all disappeared.

A large space in front of the school gate was cleared out and several cars were parked there.

The surrounding shops were still open, but there was no one at the entrance.

Only the boss sat in his chair, fanning himself with a wooden fan, seemingly bored but also incredibly content.

Lin Qingxue's decision to get out of the car was also impromptu.

The images from my dream yesterday have been popping into my mind every now and then all day.

It left her somewhat dazed.

Until the bus passed by the school gate.

Lin Qingxue suddenly wanted to get out of the car and come here to take a look.

It's like...

I want to fulfill the promise I made, but didn't keep.

Now, she has arrived.

But he was all alone.

Even the surrounding shops were deserted, with hardly anything to eat.

Suddenly.

Out of the corner of her eye, Lin Qingxue spotted a shop still steaming with heat.

She looked over.

It was only when I saw the name of the shop that I realized...

Lin Qingxue was stunned for a moment, and her eyes lit up slightly.

【Arong Breakfast Shop】

It's... that person's favorite restaurant.

It's already past 12 o'clock.

I didn't expect it to still be open?

Lin Qingxue almost instinctively stepped forward.

When she reached the shop entrance, she asked the owner, who was busy at work.

"Boss, do you still have Cantonese rice noodle rolls?"

The restaurant owner, who was cooking, glanced at her, as if he had heard a joke.

"At this hour, we're all cooking for ourselves, where would we find rice noodle rolls?"

The faint light in Lin Qingxue's eyes dimmed.

Expectations were dashed.

"OK, thanks."

She was about to turn and leave.

The boss suddenly spoke up.

"Hey, wait a minute."

"Are you named Lin Qingxue?"

Lin Qingxue paused, then turned around.

But then she saw the boss pull out a photo at some point and squint at her, comparing it to something else.

Looking at that photo.

Lin Qingxue was stunned.

That was the only photo she took with Chan Kin-kee during her second year of high school sports meet.

That person still insisted on coming closer to take a picture.

He smelled strongly of sweat.

Lin Qingxue nodded subconsciously.

"yes..."

"Oh, then you sit down, I'll go to the refrigerator and get some rice flour and filling to make you a serving."

The boss put away the photos and turned to go back inside.

Lin Qingxue was left with a blank expression.

Steam continued to rise.

soon.

A steaming bowl of Vietnamese rice noodle rolls, laden with luxurious fillings, was placed on the table.

Lin Qingxue didn't look, but simply raised her head, her eyes filled with obvious doubt.

"Boss, who gave you the photos?"

The boss, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, tore a folded sticky note off the wall and handed it over.

"Hey, that person saved it for you. She said my rice noodle rolls sell out too quickly and she can't get up, so she ordered a whole year's worth from me. I save it for you every day."

"I didn't expect her to save it for someone else instead of eating it herself."

As he spoke, he looked at Lin Qingxue and smiled.

"You looked familiar at first glance, and I didn't realize it was you."

"Alright, you can eat now. I've already paid. I'm going to eat too."

As the footsteps faded into the distance.

Lin Qingxue looked down at the sticky note in her hand.

She slowly unfolded the paper.

A line of familiar handwriting appeared.

If you come to this restaurant, it's because you haven't put it down. Don't lie to yourself; after all, you don't actually like it.

Overthinking will only lead to getting nothing.

By the way, I only plan to give you one year.

If I don't see any updates about your official announcement on his social media, then I will come back.

Lin Qingxue's gaze slowly moved downwards, and the moment she saw it clearly, her hand gripping the note tightened.

The signature, a single simple word, struck her eyes like a needle prick.
