Chapter 6, A Stunning Tease

After Lin Xianyu drove away with the steering wheel, Wang Jingzhe suddenly said: "Is there still a place called Sun Laosan's Lu Zhu in the alley over by Sun Jiadong?"

Stepping out of the hotel with a backpack, I stood on the street, closed my eyes, and basked in the sunlight while stretching lazily. I took a pack of cigarettes from my bag with my left hand, pulled one out, and placed it in my mouth.

Wang Jingzhe raised his head and replied, "That is my sister, her name is Wang Dongzhi"

It is still open. My grandfather used to enjoy eating the braised meat and baked buns from that place when he was alive. You seem to be quite familiar with Caofeidian; that is an old brand.

"Beijing" Wang Jingzhe bit down on his cigarette and uttered two words

With a loud bang, Wang Jingzhe flicked away the cigarette butt and walked to the front passenger seat, opening the door and sitting down.

Wang Jingzhe scratched his nose and asked, "You have quite an appetite, coming here for two bowls all by yourself?"

If you were born on the day of the winter solstice ... ...

Two hours later, the car exited the highway

"If you had said so earlier, we wouldn't have exited at this highway interchange, and we wouldn't have to take an extra detour of several dozen kilometers," Lin Xianyu said, frowning as he looked at the navigation.

In the past, when my old man took me on trips, we went several times

Hmm? Lin Xianyu looked at him in confusion.

Ah, ah," Wang Jingzhe awkwardly nodded and said: "I might be a bit face-blind

Is there really such a thing as ghosts in this world

Lin Xianyu was instantly taken aback by his flirtation; when paired with Wang Jingzhe's long robe and the tattered bag he carried, it all felt rather incongruous.

The boss raised his head, glanced sideways, and said: "Shall I simply give you a pig instead?"

Three large bowls of braised food were finished by the two within just a few minutes. Before Wang Jingzhe could take out his money, Lin Xianyu proactively handed over the payment. Then, the two exited the shop, left the alley, and returned to the car, with Lin Xianyu driving towards the direction of the capital.

Wang Jingzhe awkwardly twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Then, please add more chili peppers"

Did you not live like this for the past thirty years without believing it

Face blindness is the inability to recognize people, it is a problem with your vision

"You didn't even ask me where I was going," Wang Jingzhe said, spreading his hands as a matter of course.

Wang Jingzhe explained: "I have a friend who will be released from prison in a few days. I will go to see him, ask him when he will come out, and then wait for him"

He, Wang Jingzhe, approached a table covered in grease, pulled out a chair, adjusted his long robe, and sat down. Lin Xianyu, dressed neatly and without concern, took a seat opposite him

"I have one bowl, and the remaining bowl contains the large intestine and kidney that you wanted more of." A woman's intelligence and emotional quotient can be reflected in a small matter, and her actions undoubtedly improved Wang Jingzhe's perception of her significantly.

Wang Jingzhe, I was born on the very day of Jingzhe

According to what you said, we have reburied grandfather's coffin last night, and today father has gone to invite someone to perform the ritual..." After Lin Xianyu repeated what Wang Jingzhe had instructed yesterday, he added: "Wherever you are going, I will accompany you; it would be a good opportunity to clarify some unclear points along the way.

Boss, please give me a serving of braised dish," Wang Jingzhe shouted, stretching his neck, "Add more large intestines, add more lungs, and add a few more slices of pig kidneys, okay

At the prison gate, Wang Jingzhe opened the car door and turned back, speaking sincerely: "Thank you for saving me a lot of trouble"

The next day, Wang Jingzhe slept until the sun was high in the sky. When he woke up, it was almost noon. He hurriedly washed up and then organized his belongings, which were quite simple—just an old-fashioned canvas bag containing a few kitchen knives, a towel, and a toothbrush. Aside from that, he had nothing else of value. His life had always been rather frugal.

At the beginning, the road was relatively quiet, and Wang Jingzhe seemed quite silent, not saying much. The few exchanges between the two were mostly questions from one another followed by his responses. Later, after getting on the highway where there were fewer cars, Lin Xianyu finally let out all the curiosity that he had been unable to contain.

Wang Jingzhe instinctively said: "You can play with your hair, but why do you have to stir my heart..."

"It is I who should thank you; if it weren't for you, our family's troubles would have been significant." Lin Xianyu tucked her hair behind her ear, her long hair cascading down. At just over twenty years old, Lin Xianyu exuded a certain mature femininity. Perhaps due to her family background, she radiated a dazzling aura from within, making her a woman who stands out no matter where she is.

With a "pop," a cigarette was lit, and a black 750 car came to a stop right in front of him. Wang Jingzhe lowered his head, and through the lowered window, he saw Lin Xianyu's face. It seemed that the horror of yesterday had been cast far away, as this woman appeared to have returned to normal, except for a hint of sorrow on her face.

When Lin Xianyu was gathering her hair, Wang Jingzhe happened to turn around to speak to her. Upon seeing her rather charming gesture, his gaze momentarily became a bit dazed

Where to

Lin Xianyu turned around and smiled, saying: "Uncle Sun, please give me three bowls of braised meat, with extra chili"

Moments later, three bowls of braised dishes were served. Wang Jingzhe picked up his chopsticks and began to eat heartily from the bowl, while Lin Xianyu ate in a more civilized manner. After picking up a piece of lung, he sought to initiate a conversation by asking, "I still don't know your surname."

"Who looks like they are in their thirties?" Lin Xianyu said with a speechless expression as he turned his head, "I am only twenty-three, just over twenty. What kind of eyes do you have? How could I possibly look like someone in their thirties?"

Lin Xianyu was momentarily speechless; she had originally intended to find a topic to bridge the sense of distance between the two of them.

The boss immediately squinted his eyes and smiled, saying: "Oh, Miss Lin has arrived, very good"

Wang Jingzhe suddenly said with a hint of excitement: "Tianhe Prison"

Lin Xianyu looked at him with a somewhat direct gaze and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Not far from Caofeidian, just over 200 kilometers, about three hours. This woman, Lin Xianyu, seems quite clever; she pointed at Wang Jingzhe's bag and immediately got to the point: "The items in your bag don't seem suitable for public transportation. If they are found during security checks, it could be a bit troublesome."

Wang Jingzhe said: "The notion of ghosts and deities has been rumored for a long time, spanning thousands of years from ancient times to the present. I cannot definitively provide you with an answer, but I can tell you one thing: existence itself is reason. What you see and have experienced may not necessarily be true, while what you have not seen or experienced may not necessarily be false. Regarding your grandfather's matter, if you do not believe in ghosts and deities, you can consider it a false alarm, and he will not come to find you again. However, if you do believe, then be more cautious in the future. If you encounter anything strange or unusual, just be mindful and do not take it lightly"

Lin Xianyu rolled his eyes as he input the navigation, and after finding the right direction, he began to drive towards Daxing Tianhe. He arrived at the location around four o'clock in the afternoon

After about ten minutes, Lin Xianyu arrived at a narrow alley near Sun Jiadong in his car. After parking outside, the two of them walked into a small braised dish shop in the alley, which had only four tables, with the stove directly opposite where the owner prepared the food on the spot.

"How could I possibly not believe it?" Lin Xianyu sighed
