Volume 2 Cold Dew Chapter 79: Reservation
After watching a movie comfortably for the whole afternoon, Jiang You ordered two roasted turkey legs for dinner to suit the occasion. The sauce tasted good and the meat was very tender.
Considering that they had just discussed the issue of weight loss at lunch, Jiang You didn't order anything else. After washing up, he stayed in bed and read the updated chapters of the novel peacefully. Then he signed in on Yang Xuan's Weibo super topic. The number of people who signed in and forwarded the message had obviously decreased. Finally, he checked the dance area of B station, but after feeling a little bored, he threw his phone away, closed his eyes, and fell asleep listening to the sound of rain outside the window.
I slept for twelve hours.
I picked up my phone and found that the battery was low, so I reached out and grabbed a charging cable and plugged it into the phone.
"Today is Saturday." He sighed, lifted the quilt and walked to the window.
The rain has stopped.
The sky is still very cloudy.
He walked into the bathroom, looked closely at the mirror, rolled the razor across his face twice, and then nodded with satisfaction.
At about eleven forty, Tang Butian sent a WeChat message.
Tang Butian: The exam is over.
Jiang You: Have lunch by yourself, then find a seat in Starbucks. When you see Wu Ya come in, send me a message.
Jiang You sent Wu Ya's photo to Tang Butian.
Screenshot taken while listening to the live performance.
Tang Butian: Okay.
He found a beige thin down jacket and put it on, went next door to eat a bowl of tomato scrambled egg rice, and then took a stroll to Guanghe Bookstore. After chatting with Chen Nan for a few words, he timed the time and called a taxi.
After driving for more than forty minutes, Tang Butian sent another message: She is here.
Jiang You: You came so early. Where is she sitting? Take a picture for me.
Tang Butian posted a picture and explained: I am two seats to her left.
Jiang You: I’ll be there in about ten minutes.
Get off the car, pay, walk into the mall, and walk into Starbucks.
Because it was the weekend, there were a lot of people in the cafe and it was a bit noisy.
He saw Tang Butian and Wu Ya at a glance.
He raised his leg and walked straight to Wu Ya, pulled the chair back a little, and sat down.
Wu Ya looked at him with some surprise.
"I'm here for Shanshan," he introduced himself, "I'm Jiang You, Xiaonan may have mentioned me to you. After watching Teacher Wu Ya's live performance, I have always admired her and always wanted to talk to her in person."
"Xiao Nan recommended you to me. I'm going to meet Shan Shan today."
"I also advised her to come. After all, it is a rare opportunity." He emphasized the word " opportunity ".
"What did Nan Kongkong tell you?" Wu Ya realized that Jiang You knew something.
“Since I was a kid, I’ve been able to see things that other people don’t see.”
Wu Ya's expression became slightly serious.
Jiang You continued, "I searched for information about this on the Internet and tried it. Although I failed, some things that happened during the process made me realize that gods and demons exist. I live next to the Jinguang Temple and often hear some things. So when Xiaonan told me about the goddess, I knew that my chance had come."
"Golden Light Temple?"
"Yes, Tangjiang is a very effective temple." After watching Wu Ya step into his rhythm, Jiang You relaxed a little and said, "What do you want to drink? I'll go buy it."
"Caramel Macchiato. "
"OK."
Jiang You stood up and walked towards the counter.
Tang Butian, who was sitting not far to the left of Wu Ya, was wearing a white woolen hat, with a cup of frappuccino at hand, and was writing an English test paper seriously with his head down.
Not long after, Jiang You came back with two cups of coffee.
After placing the caramel macchiato in front of Wu Ya, he sat down again.
"Then why don't you go to Jinguang Temple?"
"I don't want to be a monk. I can't eat meat, can't touch the five pungent vegetables, and can't get married. What's the point of living like this?"
Jiang You took a sip of latte and said, "I am willing to follow the goddess."
"I'm afraid you'll be disappointed," Wu Ya's speech became a little faster. "Xiao Nan is just a junior manager. We are not here to satisfy our personal desires. We want to convey something..."
At this time, Wu Ya's cell phone vibrated.
After Wu Ya made an apologetic gesture to Jiang You, she walked out with her cell phone.
"Why is Jiang You here?" Zhang Lin asked.
"You're here?"
"Just arrived, and saw you and Jiang You sitting together from outside."
"You know him?"
"I heard him say he was in the reading club, and it seemed like he was trying to pick up girls."
Wu Ya pondered for a moment, she looked around vigilantly, and lowered her voice, "Nan Kongkong told him some secrets of the reading club. He said he had the ability to see ghosts, and he also mentioned the Jinguang Temple..."
"He has a good relationship with Xu Zhihai. We can use it to our advantage and ask him to ask Xu Jiaqi out. Even if something goes wrong..."
“The risk is too great.”
“Where there is risk there is reward.”
Jiang You drank coffee and played with his cell phone.
Tang Butian sent a message: Not going well?
Jiang You: Have you made a reservation for dinner?
Tang Butian: No.
Jiang You: Hurry up and book. Today is Saturday and there are many people. You can book via WeChat.
Tang Butian: Oh.
Jiang You opened the Candy Crush game and played a round before Wu Ya walked in.
She sat down, took a sip of the slightly cold coffee , and asked, "How did you get into the reading club?"
Jiang You recounted what had happened.
Wu Ya frowned, "So, you and Nan Kongkong are not very familiar with each other?"
"We communicated a lot online, and she helped me a lot. I visited her several times after she fell ill. She is a good girl," Jiang You's expression became a little sad. "She has put a lot of effort into the reading group. Now she is back in the arms of the goddess. I also hope that this group can continue to move forward. Shanshan is too busy. If I choose from the people in the current group, I think it's all right. But if I let outsiders in, I'm not saying it's not good, but I want this group to always have some of Xiaonan's characteristics."
"You have a good relationship with Shanshan too?" Wu Ya asked.
"She was very kind. My son's birthday was coming up, and when she found out, she accompanied me to the mall to choose a birthday present. She was also the one who coordinated Xiaonan's hospitalization at the cancer hospital. Xiaonan was in the late stages of cancer, and most hospitals would refuse to admit him. They would just prescribe some painkillers and let him wait to die at home. Xiaonan passed away peacefully."
Wu Ya nodded and looked into Jiang You's eyes. "Did Nan Kongkong tell you that management needs to be assessed?"
"I said a little, but I didn't go into detail."
"The Goddess assesses everyone differently."
"I will seize this opportunity." Jiang You once again emphasized the word "opportunity".
"Let's stop here today. I have other things to do. Please wait for me to contact you again," Wu Ya stood up. "I will think about what you said myself."
"Thank you, Teacher Wu Ya."
