Not only that, she also needs to draw a clear line and keep a distance from each other.
On the way back, Xin Gan's expression was very cold, and she was only cold to him. But she was still okay with Xiao Shi.
Halfway through, she found a place to have lunch. Xin Gan didn't want to eat noodles anymore. She still felt very uncomfortable after sitting in the car for a long time. Although it wasn't as uncomfortable as the first two days, the smell of gasoline made her feel like vomiting. But it was just nausea and vomiting, and there were no other serious reactions.
Xin Gan felt that her adaptability was improving, but fortunately, it wasn't particularly weak.
After taking a short break in the small town at noon, Xin Gan wanted to use the restroom. Just a few minutes after she left, Jiang Yang called and told Cheng Jiu a piece of news. Cheng Jiu's expression changed slightly and he said, "Let's talk about it when I get back."
Xiao Shi didn't ask. It was probably related to the subordinates of Yu Tou.
Xin Gan borrowed the restroom in her boss's store and looked at herself in the mirror on the sink. Her complexion was sallow, her lips were pale, dry, cracked and peeling. Although she hadn't tanned much, her complexion and body were clearly not adapting. Something was wrong. She felt her throat was dry and itchy, and she was very uncomfortable.
Cheng Jiu has been in such a place for so many years. From this perspective, she admires his character, but when it comes to emotions, she can't convince herself.
This time when she returned to the inn, she wanted to make it clear to Cheng Jiu that she was going back to Yongcheng. If she kept delaying, it would be meaningless and lead to no result.
Xin Gan returned to her seat. Xiao Shi brought her a bottle of mineral water and said, "I still have motion sickness medicine there. You can take a few more pills later."
Something is better than nothing.
Xin Gan said "Thank you."
Back in the car, Xin Gan took the medicine and continued to rest with his eyes closed.
All the way, Xin Gan and Cheng Jiu had nothing to talk about. She was naturally quiet, not very talkative, and didn't want to talk to Cheng Jiu either.
Cheng Jiu is by no means the kind of person who initiates conversations. His personality is notoriously bad in the team. If it weren't for his outstanding ability, perhaps no one would respect him.
Xiao Shi also found the atmosphere along the way strangely and delicately. Recalling Cheng Jiu's attitude towards Xin Gan, he subconsciously touched his nose and secretly caught a glimpse of Xin Gan sleeping with her eyes closed. Then he asked in a low voice, "Brother Jiu, can I ask you something?"
"Speak." Cheng Jiu said.
"What's wrong with you and Miss Xin? I saw that she didn't pay much attention to you all the way. Just now when we were having dinner, you handed her some mineral water, but she didn't take it either." "
Observe and listen carefully. Cheng Jiu snorted coldly.
Xiao Shi chuckled and muttered, "Anyone who's not blind can tell."
Cheng Jiu's expression remained cold and he didn't reply. Avoiding the topic, he said, "Don't talk nonsense when you get back. It won't affect her."
Xiao Shi: "..." Which school's influence is it?
What do you say?
Xiao Shi immediately swore, "I know nothing and haven't seen anything. I'll keep my mouth shut when I get back."
Cheng Jiu took a cigarette and smoked, looking at the road ahead with a somewhat impatient expression. Even Xiao Shi could tell that Xin Gan's attitude towards him was not stupid. He knew that Xin Gan was determined to break off their marriage with him. She didn't like him, without a doubt, and she didn't even have the slightest affection for him.
Originally, it was the elders of both families who arranged this marriage, so he never took it seriously. Therefore, he didn't take the initiative to learn about the situation of the Xin family and knew nothing about Xin Gan either.
A few days after Xin Gan came to Beiyu, he was still on a mission. On the day he returned, Xiao Shi reminded him that one of his relatives was still at the inn and asked him when he would go and have a look, not caring if that was the case.
Only then did he remember that Xin Gan had come to Beiyu. Then, he asked his friends in Yongcheng about the recent situation of the Xin family and learned that Xin Gan had been studying abroad all those years alone.
