Chapter 101 [Round and turn]

Ai Yige did not ask about how Xiaofan told Jin Kezhu, and even pretended not to know anything. He usually took the opportunity to see the fate of a kitten and contacted Jin Kezhu in a normal way, and never mentioned going to Yunnan.

On the contrary, a few days later, Ai Yige called Jin Kezhu again as usual, and agreed to pick her up after get off work, and then go to see Teacher Wei together. However, Jin Kezhu hesitated for a moment and finally said on the phone that she had something to tell Ai Yige, and it seemed that she was not easy to talk to Teacher Wei, so she made an appointment to have dinner near her company.

Ai Yige probably knew that Jin Kezhu's so-called "eight out of ten things" were related to his trip to Yunnan, but he was a little nervous, and he didn't know if Jin Kezhu agreed or not.

I was interested in asking Xiao Fan, but when I went upstairs to the company, I saw that Xiao Fan was not here. I called her cell phone and was told that she was not in the service area. I didn’t know how that girl talked to Jin Kezhu.

Sitting in the office and thinking for a long time, Ai Yige felt that it would be fine if he didn't go, but it was really unnecessary to think about it like this, so he just waited calmly for Jin Kezhu to get off work.

At about six o'clock, Ai Yige arrived at Youxianmeidi on Hunan Road as agreed in advance. This is a very popular teahouse or cafe in Nanjing. It seems that people in Nanjing have a special liking for this store. Youxianmeidi has opened at least a dozen branches in Nanjing, and each of them has a good business.

Fortunately, Ai Yige booked a small private room in advance, otherwise there would be no place at this time. After entering the private room, Ai Yige sent a message to Jin Kezhu, telling her the private room number, and then asked for a pot of rain flower tea and slowly waiting for Jin Kezhu's arrival.

Not long after, Jin Kezhu followed the waiter to the door of the private room. After coming in, the two ordered a simple meal first. Then after the waiter went out, Ai Yige smiled and took an empty cup, poured Jin Kezhu a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Is Yuhua tea okay?"

Jin Kezhu nodded and said in a low voice: "Anyway, you seem to know yourself better than me." It seems that she even began to get used to Ai Yige to know everything about her. Almost all her hobbies and habits were touched too clearly by Ai Yige. At the beginning, maybe she was a little uncomfortable, but after a long time, it was impossible for Jin Kezhu to not adapt. Almost any behavior of Ai Yige will be very caring and easily consistent with Jin Kezhu's habits.

"You said there was something to ask me for, what's wrong?" Ai Yige continued to smile, took a sip of tea, but he knew it clearly. What made him nervous was just Jin Kezhu's attitude.

Jin Kezhu also took a sip of tea, slowly put down the teacup, and then looked at Ai Yige without much expression: "Xiao Fan told me about going to Yunnan."

Ai Yige understood, and it was obvious that Xiao Fan "betrayed" him. Although it was not clear why Xiao Fan told Jin Kezhu that this was Ai Yige's idea, to be honest, Ai Yige did not intend to keep it like this, and in fact he couldn't hide it at all. After meeting, everything could not be hidden. Although Jin Kezhu was simple, he was not stupid. If she saw Ai Yige appearing "just right" in their travel plans, if she could not guess that this was Ai Yige's arrangement in advance, she would not be called simple, but stupid.

But Ai Yige didn't expect that Xiao Fan would confess to Jin Kezhu so early, which was a little surprised. Moreover, from what Jin Kezhu said just now, it could be heard that Xiao Fan had no intention of hiding her at all. It was probably that she had said straight to the point that this was Ai Yige's arrangement, but Ai Yige still couldn't see Jin Kezhu's attitude.

A little lost, Ai Yige still smiled and said, "I don't mean anything else. I just thought that you have always had such a wish. I thought of having a trip to Yunnan. This should be a better time, and it would be a pity to miss it. The reason why I asked Xiao Fan to tell you is that I am afraid that you will feel uneasy about me. In addition to Xiao Fan and her boyfriend, it should make you feel much more at ease."

Jin Kezhu did not escape from Ai Yige's gaze for the first time, but instead stared at Ai Yige's eyes bravely. He waited until he closed his mouth and finished speaking the above words, then pursed his lips and nodded and said, "Well, Xiao Fan also told me this, but I really don't understand why you tried so hard to arrange for me to have a trip to Yunnan. This is not your own wish. Do you think it's very troublesome to do such a thing purely for me?"

Ai Yige still smiled: "Who told you that this is not my wish? I really want to go to Yunnan. Don't you think Shangri-La and Lijiang are very attractive places? This matter is half about your wish to go to Yunnan, and the other half, or even more, for myself. You don't dare to travel alone, and I don't want to go alone. It just so happens that everyone has the same goal. Isn't it the best of both worlds to use this time to travel together? As for Xiao Fan and her boyfriend, one is more lively and they won't be lonely on the journey, and the other is also to make you feel at ease. If you can't completely relax when you go out, then there is no big intention to play."

Jin Kezhu nodded slowly, but there seemed to be no focus in his eyes. He seemed to hesitate for a while, but he still gave the answer quickly: "Ai Yige, what happened between us is actually too bizarre. To be honest, I still don't have enough confidence to accept these things until now. I don't deny that everything you have done to me over the past few days can really make me believe that you may have really worked hard to me, and even, I can often feel the warmth from you. I have also been working hard to get along with you as an ordinary friend, and even thought about whether it is possible to be with you, and I also think that perhaps being with you is the best result of that matter. But..."

Speaking of this, Jin Kezhu seemed very hesitant, and wanted to say something, but she couldn't say it, or she didn't know how to organize her own language.

On the contrary, Ai Yige slowly said for Jin Kezhu with a slightly disappointed smile on his face: "But no matter how you adjust your mentality, you can never maintain enough peace when you see me or even think of me or others mention me. What I do may make you believe that what happened that day was just my impulse, and you are more willing to believe that I am a person with a bad nature, but you still cannot accept me into your world. At least, until now, the thing that happened that day is still a fish bone that lies between your throat. Is that true?"

Jin Kezhu was still hesitating, and was a little surprised. Why would Ai Yige even know the most real thoughts in her heart? If you talk about her habits or hobbies, Ai Yige can know them through inquiries and other means, so it is a bit strange to know what she thinks clearly.

"Well..." Jin Kezhu nodded slowly and admitted: "But, how did you know?"

Ai Yige spread his hands and placed them flat on the table: "This is not difficult to guess from what you said just now. But since you said this, I think I will probably know your decision. It doesn't matter, if you don't go, don't go. It's normal for you to have your thoughts and concerns. That matter is indeed my problem. Until now, I can't explain my behavior that day, as if I possessed a demon. Haha. At least we can still sit face to face to eat at a table."

Although it didn't matter, Ai Yige still felt very uncomfortable. He had thought of this kind of ending before. Even after "climbing" at the airport, Jin Kezhu didn't give them any chance to explain, and could turn around and go home. Jin Kezhu was originally such a girl, weak on the outside and strong on the inside. If she really didn't want to do something, unless the threat of force made her unable to resist, she would not surrender so easily.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Jin Kezhu waved his hand and shook his head, which surprised Ai Yige.

"No, no, I didn't mean that... I think you misunderstood!" Jin Kezhu seemed very anxious, making Ai Yige more and more confused about what Jin Kezhu wanted to say.

"Ah? Then what do you mean?"

Ai Yige asked, but at this time, there was a knock on the door outside the door. The two had to pause their conversation. It was probably the waiter who delivered the simple meal they ordered.

After the door opened, the waiter standing outside was indeed holding a huge food plate with steaming hot Italian meat paste noodles inside.

"Who is the Italian pasta with kebab?" the waiter asked politely.

Ai Yige pointed at Jin Kezhu: "Her." The waiter put the food plate in front of Jin Kezhu, said please use it slowly, and then stepped out. As Ai Yige's thing was about to arrive, the two of them simply remained silent and waited for the door to be knocked again.

Not long after, the door was knocked again, and the waiter brought in the risotto ordered by Aiyigo.

After the waiter left completely, Ai Yige asked again: "What do you want to say?"

Jin Kezhu looked at Ai Yige's somewhat nervous look and actually burst into laughter. This laughter was as warm as the melting of ice and snow in early spring. The earth rejuvenated, making the whole private room full of warmth. Ai Yige's heart also relaxed a lot. To be able to see Jin Kezhu's smile almost became a kind of happiness for him, and this feeling made Ai Yige himself deeply puzzled. You know, in the past, whenever Jin Kezhu saw Ai Yige, he would smile sweetly, with a happy and satisfied expression.

"Actually, I just want to tell you that I can go with you when I go to Yunnan this time, but I'm afraid you misunderstand it. My current feeling is that at most, at most, I can only treat you as an ordinary friend, and it's difficult to go further. So, I also hope that you don't misunderstand it, don't think that if I promised you to go to Yunnan together, it means that between me and you... Do you understand what I mean?" Speaking of this, Jin Kezhu bit his lips as usual, and looked at Ai Yige with a hint of anxiety flashing in his eyes.

Ai Yige breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that after a long time of struggle, Jin Kezhu did not refuse to go to Yunnan, but was just worried that he would regard his promise to go to Yunnan as Jin Kezhu's promise to be his woman? Kezhu, Kezhu, you underestimate my understanding of you too much. Although I know that you have started to feel a little loose during this period and know that you still have a lot of opportunities, even in the past, there was no resentment between me and you, and it took me more than a year to hold your hand. Now, even if I have the help to you, there is still something that is difficult for you to bear. How could I regard your promise to go to Yunnan as your acquiesce to my pursuit?

Knowing that Jin Kezhu's hesitation and worries were not about his trip to Yunnan, but about his attitude, Ai Yige couldn't help feeling much more relaxed.

In other words, this is why Jin Kezhu agreed to go to Yunnan with him. Although there were two huge light bulbs, Xiao Fan and her boyfriend, it gave Ai Yige a lot of opportunities for more than ten days along the way. How could this not make Ai Yige feel sincerely happy and relaxed?

"So you are just for this? You are so formally saying something to me, so I thought you didn't want to go to Yunnan with me. Don't worry, I just treat this as a small victory on the road to pursuing you, and you won't misunderstand that I have won a big victory! Haha, eating, just talking, the food is cold. Oh, I'm really hungry!" As he said that, Ai Yige picked up the chopsticks and started to eat his own risotto. I don't know if it was really hungry or because of a good mood. Ai Yige's meal was very fragrant, and he also felt that the risotto from Youxian Meidi was so delicious for the first time!

After the meal, they settled the bill and went out together to see Teacher Wei. When they went to the parking lot to get the car, Ai Yige suddenly thought of a question and couldn't help but turn his face and ask Jin Kezhu after getting on the bus: "Kezhu, do you think we are going out this time by plane, and then we keep changing buses or trains in the local area, or just drive directly from Nanjing? It will be much more convenient to drive. Although it will take a little time to go to Yunnan, it will be more convenient after arriving in Yunnan."

Jin Kezhu looked at Ai Yige's car and felt a little sad. He thought Ai Yige would not think of anything wrong again, right? He couldn't help but hesitate and said, "How can you get four people in this car?"

Ai Yige instantly understood Jin Kezhu's concerns and laughed and said, "It's not this car, it's a Hummer, it's just a very tall and large off-road vehicle. Not to mention four people, two can sit down." Ai Yige thought of Xiong Baizhao's Hummer, and it would be too late to buy one, but renting one should be easy to do. Moreover, the narrower the space, the more conducive it is to cultivate the relationship between men and women. Ai Yige is well aware of this principle.

"I can do anything, any kind of it can do!" Jin Kezhu agreed.

Ai Yige snapped his fingers excitedly: "I'll call Xiaofan to see if her boyfriend can drive. If he can, then there will be no problem."

"You decide, it's still a bit too much, so don't be too anxious." Jin Kezhu seemed to be very calm. The work of the past two months seemed to have made her grow very fast, which was unexpected to Ai Yige. In his mind, Jin Kezhu is always the type that needs others' protection. Such calm and calm Jin Kezhu is really a bit beyond Ai Yige's expectations.

Looking at Jin Kezhu beside him, Ai Yige smiled: "Haha, this little girl seems to be growing up. It seems that in this era of time travel, everyone's life trajectory has changed differently. Although she has never seen what kind of changes have happened to Kezhu before, today, her changes have finally begun to slowly reflect."

Along the way, Ai Yige talked about fate with Jin Kezhu again. It seemed that every time he talked about fate, Jin Kezhu would become much more lively, and his smile appeared on her face repeatedly. It seemed that only at this time could Ai Yige regain the feeling of being in love with Jin Kezhu. At least at such a moment, there was not much distance between him and Jin Kezhu. Jin Kezhu would occasionally dance and smile knowingly.

"Fate is so obedient now. As soon as I open the door, it will curl up next to my slippers and wait for me to change my shoes. After changing, it will rub against my feet twice. I have to carry it into the room." Jin Kezhu said happily, Ai Yige looked at her with a smile, and slowly parked the car on the side of the road downstairs of Teacher Wei.

The two of them just got off the car and found something was wrong here. The newly changed house of Mr. Wei's daughter Zhou Lanlan is actually a second-hand house, which is the kind of building that was built earlier in the 1980s. It is a little bigger than the house they lived in before, but there is only one more room. The reason I wanted to change here is that it is more convenient for Zhou Lanlan's children to go to school and can choose some better schools. Secondly, it is because the house in the past only had two houses. Although Teacher Wei was not saying that he couldn't live in it, it was not so convenient. If Zhou Lanlan's children were not crowded in a small house with Mr. Wei, they could only live in the living room.

There was such an opportunity, so they discussed selling the old house for here. Even so, because they were closer to the city center and larger, they had to pay more than 100,000 yuan in mortgage loans. This was the landlord who said he wanted to cash out and wanted to use it urgently, so he sold it cheaper, otherwise they would have to at least afford a loan of 50,000 yuan.

After Ai Yige helped Zhou Lanlan's husband arrange to work at his mother's company, the family saw the hope of paying off the mortgage as quickly as possible, but was satisfied with their new residence.

When I came here last time, Ai Yige vaguely heard Zhou Lanlan and Teacher Wei mention about demolition, as if it was said that the nearby area was included in the subway planned line and it would be demolished soon. At that time, the family seemed quite happy, and discussed whether to buy a new house with the subsidy from the real estate developers, or to ask for a house of the same size on the spot. However, it was just like a mirage, and no one knew when the demolition would start.

Today, when he got off the car and found that there were many people in the downstairs of the house. Some of them were obviously residents nearby, maybe they lived in the building, or maybe they lived nearby. There were also some guys who looked like they were not good people with gloomy faces wandering among the crowd. Ai Yige's heart moved. Could it be that it was related to the demolition?

Jin Kezhu didn't care about this and planned to go upstairs directly, but Ai Yige grabbed her, stood in the crowd and listened to a few words, and soon understood the situation here.

The place is indeed going to be demolished soon, and now it is doing the resettlement work before the demolition. The building where Teacher Wei and others live is a bit special, and it is one of the only two buildings. Most of the residents here should be quite satisfied with the demolition. Of course, this refers to the residents who live in the bungalow.

As we all know, when demolition, subsidies for bungalow residents are usually relatively satisfactory. Because when calculating the area, bungalow residents can always take advantage of it. For example, in the yard, some simple brick houses that are impossible to live in are quickly built, and some are even more blatantly built simple shacks. In this way, when calculating the area, these must be included in the area. Even if the unit price of subsidies given by real estate developers is lower, most people can feel more satisfied due to the increase in these occupied areas.

However, it is not easy for the residents of the building to be satisfied, especially the old-fashioned houses, which are not large in size, and they can’t make up for much money by being deducted by real estate developers. If it is the kind of person who has been living here all the time, it would be better. After all, when they bought these houses, they mostly converted to private houses, and they almost didn’t spend much money. Now they have given some subsidies, and most people can barely accept them. However, for those like Teacher Wei, who later bought and moved in, they may be replenished.

The money given to them is not even worth the purchase price of their house, which naturally leads to conflicts. For this type of person, most real estate developers still adopt a policy of comfort, that is, to give a house of a comparable area on the spot, or to make up a part of the money by the property owner to purchase a larger house. But the situation here is obviously different. From the indignant words of the residents, Ai Yige found that it seemed that the developers who developed this land this time did not intend to adopt a policy of comfort.

Ai Yige, who was roughly aware, quickly pulled Jin Kezhu upstairs. After knocking on Teacher Wei's door, he found that the whole family was sitting at home with a little frown. Ai Yige thought to himself that no wonder he and Jin Kezhu didn't come to have dinner today, and Teacher Wei's family didn't call to ask. After a long time, there was something wrong with the family.

"I just came up from downstairs and heard that the house here is about to be demolished?" Ai Yige asked quietly, trying not to cause any greater congestion to Teacher Wei's family.
