Episode 2. Encounter again 2

After going down two steps, Huo Suo, who is dazed, suddenly realizes that Zhou Ji'an might have encountered something when he is squatting at the stairs, so he turns his head and asks politely, "Why did you squat here just now?"

Zhou Ji'an points to the door and smiles awkwardly: "I locked myself out."

Huo Suo subconsciously touches his pocket. Although he is so sleepy that he feels like he is in a fog, he still brings the things he should bring.

Zhou Ji'an watches him take out the key and enter the house. And then he takes out a long and thin object and fiddles with it on her door.

Just as she retracts her jaw, which is almost dropped by the copper wire in his hand, and wonders if it will work, the door is opened.

Huo Suo still looks like he hasn't woken up yet: "I suggest you change the lock. I just tried it casually and it opened. It's too unsafe."

Zhou Ji'an's eyes roll back and forth between the copper wire in his hand and the door with a small crack. She is curious about how he did it and doesn't pay attention to what he said at all.

Huo Suo looks at her expression and explains: "I haven't done it for a long time. I learned this craft when I was young and ignorant."

That period was simply his dark time. All his communication equipment was confiscated, and he was locked at home.

He could only fiddle with the copper wire in the middle of the night to sneak out, go to the cybercafé to write, and then fiddle with the copper wire again before dawn to sneak back home.

Zhou Jian is shocked and begins to brainstorm uncontrollably to search for Huo Suo's career, finally stopping at a misguided boy who returns to the right path and is even willing to help others.

Zhou Ji'an, who never discriminates against people, especially those who are reformed, says sincerely: "Thank you very much. I will treat you to a meal when I come back."

Huo Suo is not euphemistic at all: "I want to eat the cookies you baked."

When Zhou Ji'an just moved in, she gave him a few bags of homemade cookies. Before he had time to taste them, they were eaten by others. Only the extremely sweet and tempting smell filled the air, which really made him, a sweet lover, miss it for a long time.

After Zhou Ji'an checks the things she wants to bring, she walks out of the house again with heavy steps. Fortunately, there was no accident this time.

As soon as she presses the doorbell of Qian's house, the door opens: "Qian Dad, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival." Qian Dad takes the things in her hand with a smile: "Wow, it's so heavy! I knew I shouldn't have listened to you and should have driven over."

Qian Mom comes over, still wearing an apron, and pulls Zhou Ji'an's fingers apart. Seeing the red marks, she says distressedly: "You girl, I said I would pick you up."

"If you look later, these red marks will disappear." Although she says this, Zhou Ji'an's heartstrings are like a drop of dew falling on the water, causing ripples.

There is a touch of emotion in her eyes. She half-hugs Qian Ma and pats her shoulder. After all, among all the elders she knows, only Qian Ma is so attentive to her.

Qian's mother rubs her fingers and is amused by her: "What do you bring? It's so heavy."

"I bring the sausages sent from my hometown." Qian's father raises his arm holding the sausages twice and says, "You have spent all the money in the family."

Zhou Ji'an scratches his hair with a smile and says, "Haven't yet."

Qian's mother knows that she brings everything. She slaps Qian's father on the arm: "It's all to satisfy your appetite." Turning to Zhou Ji'an, she says, "If you are not busy at work, come over anytime. I will make you delicious food and we can chat together. We old couples stare at each other every day, and Qian Wenyu is abroad. Fortunately, you still come to see us."

"You didn't come last month, and he kept talking about you and missed you. Later, I heard Jianying say that you were very busy last month."

"How long are we going to chat at the door? Zhou comes over and can't even drink water and sit down." Qian's father is worried that Qian's mother will spill the beans and tell everything, so he interrupts her, but turns around and mutters in dissatisfaction, "I don't know who wants to look downstairs every once in a while."

Zhou Ji'an smiles so much that her big white teeth are exposed, and her eyes curve into small crescents: "Dad Qian, I put the book I took here last time back first, and the reading notes are also tucked in. Please tell me later."

As soon as she enters, she finds there are several people sitting in the living room, who look like students of Qian's father.

One of the girls says, "Hello, you are Teacher Qian's daughter, right?"

Another boy corrects her, "Teacher Qian's daughter is abroad."

Qian's mother hugs Zhou Ji'an and says, "This is also our daughter."

Qian's father pats her shoulder and says, "Yes, this is also our daughter."

Zhou Ji'an is not embarrassed and says, "Hello."

After greeting each other, Qian's mother wants to whisper to Zhou Ji'an, so she says, "Old Qian, you continue chatting, Zhou Zhou and I will go to the kitchen."

Zhou Ji'an puts the book back on the bookshelf and goes to the kitchen, and then Qian's mother closes the door.

"Mother Qian, how do these students know you live here?" She hasn't seen such a situation before.

Qian's mother also seems to be a bit distressed: "Once Old Qian helped a colleague with an elective class, and there was a student in that class who also lived in this building, and he should have seen Old Qian and the students knew each other, so ..." These students already arrived at the door, and it's not good to let them go straight back. It seemed that they did not greet Qian's father in advance, otherwise Qian's father would have refused.
