Chapter 171 Jingchu's Intentions
"Wait for me?" Song Lingge was a little surprised.
Jing Chu then said, "Take a day off this weekend, and I'll take you somewhere."
"Where are we going?" Song Lingge was even more surprised.
Jing Chu smiled mysteriously: "It's a secret. You'll find out when the time comes."
"How about Saturday morning?"
"Row."
"Where should we meet?"
Jing Chu picked at his messy hair, now in a bit of a predicament.
The place he wanted to take Song Lingge to was quite far from the school, so it would be closer for Song Lingge to go directly from her home.
However, this meant that he and Song Lingge would have to act separately.
Let's just say it outright and let Song Lingge decide for herself.
"Nanzhou High School, should we go separately or together?"
"Nanzhou Middle School? What are you going there for?" Song Lingge asked back with even more confusion, forgetting to answer Jing Chu's question.
"You'll find out when you get there. Tell me how to get there first; you know the area well."
Song Lingge thought for a moment and said, "Let's go separately. Whether you come to meet me first or arrange to meet at another intermediate point, it's a roundabout way. Let's just meet up when we get there."
Jing Chu nodded: "Then we'll arrive there at 11:00 AM. Don't be late."
Song Lingge originally wanted to change the time earlier so as not to delay her phone call with Qiao Nansheng.
But since it's the weekend, he had to consider Jingchu's feelings. He slept in, took the bus, and eleven o'clock wasn't too late.
"I definitely won't be late. It's very convenient for me to get there. You just need to make sure you're on time."
Jing Chu pouted and said with dissatisfaction, "I am known as the punctual prince. There is no way I could be late."
"The punctual prince?" Song Lingge couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"That's right, fine. Since we've already made plans, I'll see you there. I'm going to play ball now."
After saying that, he immediately ran back to the basketball court.
"All brawn and no brains," Song Lingge thought to herself as she watched his retreating figure.
However, she also began to wonder why Jing Chu wanted to take her to Nanzhou Middle School.
Should we tell Yu Shaofen about this first? After all, this is the first time she and Jing Chu have gone out alone together, and it feels a bit strange.
Thinking this, Song Lingge turned around and went to the girls' dormitory.
Yu Shaofen verbally mocked Song Lingge for being overly suspicious, but she was actually very happy because Song Lingge cared about her and had come to tell her about it.
However, she didn't care about it.
She trusted both Song Lingge and Jing Chu.
She believed that Jing Chu's friendship with Qiao Nansheng would prevent Jing Chu from doing anything out of line.
I also believe that Song Lingge's friendship with her and Zhang Xiuxiu is genuine.
However, even after the three girls gathered together and thought for a long time, they still couldn't gather Zhuge Liang's wisdom.
I still can't figure out why Jing Chu would invite Song Lingge to Nanzhou Middle School.
The speculation at this point was completely different from the speculation about Li Meimei and Fang Guanghua's intentions.
More than anything, it was curiosity about Jingchu and the events themselves.
They would not doubt Jingchu's intentions.
That night, Song Lingge didn't go back to the teachers' apartment; instead, she stayed in the dormitory and slept with Yu Shaofen.
Saturday arrived quickly.
Song Lingge told Lin Xiuzhi that she was going out and asked her to pass on the message if Qiao Nansheng called.
"Grandma, she probably won't be coming back for lunch either. You and Grandpa will have to think about lunchtime!"
The meeting is scheduled for 11:00 AM. I might not be able to make it back for lunch, so please have something to eat outside, Jingchu!
When Song Lingge arrived at the Baoyu Road bus stop, she did not go directly to Nanzhou Middle School, but waited for Jingchu at the bus stop.
She was much more familiar with this area than with Jingchu.
At 10:46, we arrived in Jingchu.
Both of them arrived earlier than the agreed time.
The only difference was that Jing Chu was carrying several kinds of gifts.
"What are you going to do with these things?" Song Lingge really couldn't figure it out.
Jing Chu carried the things and smiled mysteriously again.
"Just come with me, would I dare to harm you?" With that, he strode forward.
Song Lingge's steps were much smaller than his, but seeing this, she didn't hesitate and tried her best to keep up.
Upon reaching the intersection of Baoyu Road, Jingchu turned inward instead of heading towards Nanzhou Middle School.
Song Lingge felt uneasy. Could it be...?
She mechanically followed behind Jing Chu, her mind a jumbled mess.
Jingchu arrived at the gate of a lush, green courtyard and knocked on the brass door knocker.
At the same time, he handed the gift to Song Lingge.
Song Lingge numbly accepted it. Even though she was a bit naive and innocent, she could still guess where she was.
But why did you have to come today?
It feels so strange to come with Jingchu again.
Soon, the door opened, revealing an elderly woman with a full head of white hair and an elderly man with a full head of white hair standing behind her.
Both of them looked out with smiles on their faces.
This must be Qiao Nansheng's grandfather, Qiao Yuejiang, and grandmother, Zhang Lingyu.
Jing Chu greeted the two elderly people with a smile, and then pulled Song Lingge to the front to introduce her, saying, "This is Song Lingge, my classmate and good friend of Nan Sheng."
Although Song Lingge and Qiao Nansheng agreed not to tell their families about their relationship, their attitudes were clearly like those of someone looking at a granddaughter-in-law.
Song Lingge forced herself to greet them, trying her best to appear poised and confident, but she couldn't help feeling uneasy.
"Hello, Grandpa Qiao and Grandma Qiao."
Zhang Lingyu smiled and invited Song Lingge and the others into the house, then took the gifts and handed them to Jing Chu.
The two elders welcomed Song Lingge into the house.
Thinking that Qiao Nansheng used to live in this house, Song Lingge couldn't help but look around.
Although located in a bustling area, the courtyard offers a tranquil escape from the noise, a peaceful and serene space.
Just by looking at the flowers and plants in the garden, you can tell that the owner must be a very meticulous and patient person.
The same is true inside the house; every decoration reflects the homeowner's taste, showing that they love and understand life.
No wonder Qiao Nansheng has such a girlish heart and loves romance.
So that's how it is; growing up in such a family, it's no surprise.
From the moment Song Lingge entered the room, Zhang Lingyu's eyes never left her.
She smiled and brought two glasses of juice to Song Lingge and Jing Chu, saying, "You must be hot from running over here, have some juice, it's freshly squeezed."
Song Lingge picked it up and took a sip; it was peach juice, very sweet and refreshing.
So he took a big gulp.
Seeing that she liked it, Zhang Lingyu poured her another large glass.
It must be said that, upon first meeting, even before exchanging more than a few words, both parties had a very good impression of each other.
The elders of the Qiao family thought Song Lingge was straightforward and unpretentious.
Song Lingge felt that the elders of the Qiao family were very kind and gentle to her.
This is a very good start.
Although Song Lingge felt that she did not perform well, it was understandable since she was not going home with Qiao Nansheng and was not his girlfriend.
At this moment, Qiao Yuejiang suddenly spoke up: "Nansheng showed me the novel you wrote."
