Chapter 865: He Wanted to Go to Jingzhou
“Jiahang, I’ll go make something to eat,” He Xiyan said with a smile and revealed her pearly whites.
She patted Jiahang’s shoulder and motioned for him to rest.
Chen Jiahang finally let go of her and there was a tenderness in his eyes that had never been there before.
He didn’t rest but instead, he went into the kitchen with He Xiyan.
He chopped the vegetables while she cooked and they were like any other ordinary and loving couple.
It was said that as long as men and women worked together, all chores would not seem as tiring. Thus, they managed to cook extremely quickly.
There were three homemade dishes including tomatoes fried with egg, winter melon and pork ribs soup, and a plate of stir fried cabbage. These were all very bland food. Jiahang could not take spicy food for a month after his surgery, so there was no chili added to any one of these dishes.
“Jiahang, you should eat more,” He Xiyan said as she scooped a big bowl of soup for Jiahang. “The doctor said you must drink more soup to rehydrate yourself.”
Chen Jiahang finished the entire bowl of soup. Then, he smiled happily at He Xiyan.
“Yan Yan...” he said and called her name softly.
He Xiyan was eating ravenously because she was so hungry.
“What’s wrong, Jiahang? Do you not feel like eating?” she asked.
Chen Jiahang shook his head and suddenly put his chopsticks aside.
He Xiyan froze for a moment and looked at him in confusion. Jiahang would usually not do such a thing nor wear such an expression while they were eating. She didn’t know what was wrong with him.
She felt that he had changed after the car accident and he was behaving so strangely that she couldn’t really understand him anymore.
“I want to go to Jingzhou,” he said gravely and there was a quick flash of emotion in his eyes.
“Jingzhou?” she said as she frowned.
“Yes, I’d like to meet a friend there,” he said.
He Xiyan looked at Jiahang in surprise and didn’t know what he was trying to say.
Did he really have a friend in Jingzhou? Why had he not mentioned this before? She didn’t recall him ever mentioning that he had a friend in Jingzhou during the three years they lived together.
Jingzhou was more than 2,000 kilometers away.
“I’ll go with you in a few days. Jiahang, who is your friend who lives in Jingzhou?” she asked doubtfully.
Jiahang was behaving so strangely that she felt like she didn’t really know him anymore.
Chen Jiahang pursed his lips and there was a wry smile on his face.
Who was his friend? Where should he begin?
“Yan Yan, you’ll see once we get there. Remember to buy yourself several sets of warm clothing. Jingzhou was very cold and it is at least minus 10 degrees Celcius there right now.”
“Sure,” He Xiyan said with a nod.
She found his actions very strange but she was dying to know who was his friend in Jingzhou.
——
The next day, He Xiyan went out to buy two thick down jackets and two warm long johns.
Jiahang seemed very eager to meet his friend and immediately bought plane tickets. They would fly the next day at night.
He Xiyan packed her newly bought clothes into her luggage. Her large luggage was packed to the brim.
They hailed a taxi that would bring them to Ming City’s airport at around 8 PM and boarded a plane bound for Jingzhou. They arrived at Jingzhou at 11:30 PM.
He Xiyan shivered the moment she stepped out of the airport even though she was wearing a thick jacket and snow boots.
Chen Jiahang wrapped his arms around her and tried to pass her some of his warmth.
“Jiahang... will your friend be picking us up?” He Xiyan asked as she looked at the crowds gathered outside and the taxis that were fully booked.
