Chapter 288 Holding Hands
As long as Brother Lan needs her, Cheng Ling is willing to go, not to mention 30 kilometers, even 3,000 kilometers.
There were not many cars at night, so Cheng Ling drove at the speed limit.
She played songs and sang along - the car audio system was also replaced with the best on the market, and the effect was particularly good.
The journey was smooth, and in less than half an hour, they drove to Brother Lan's unit.
From a distance, they saw a tall man standing under the street light.
It was Brother Lan.
The next moment, Cheng Ling saw his clothes clearly and smiled.
So tacit.
They both wore light blue jeans and black long-sleeved hoodies.
Like couple clothes.
Cheng Ling pulled the car over and lowered the window.
Jiang Qilan walked over with his long legs, bent down and said to Cheng Ling through the window: "You are driving so fast."
Her eyes were clear, and she smiled and greeted him: "There are not many cars on the road. Brother Lan, get in the car?"
When Jiang Qilan saw Cheng Ling, he couldn't help but feel excited, and couldn't even look away.
Her eyes, her nose, her mouth, and her two inconspicuous little canine teeth when she smiled were all so cute.
Jiang Qilan shook his head: "The small shop I'm talking about is in the alley behind. You can park the car in the parking space on the roadside in front."
Cheng Ling parked the car in the parking space and unbuckled the seat belt.
Jiang Qilan opened the car door for her.
Cheng Ling got out of the car and stood in front of Jiang Qilan.
Her smell came towards him.
It was a faint scent of bergamot and some familiar nuts, which smelled very good.
Men are not so sensitive to clothing and dressing, but Jiang Qilan thinks that the clothes she wore today are particularly pleasing to the eye.
A loose black hoodie on the upper body, a neat and tight light blue jeans on the lower body, and the trouser legs are tucked into light brown sheepskin boots.
Cheng Ling is undoubtedly thin.
But her thinness does not make people feel weak, but gives people a healthy and powerful feeling.
Cheng Ling stood in front of him.
Jiang Qilan felt that his heart, which had been restless for a whole day, finally calmed down.
"Brother Lan, have you been waiting for a long time? Here, your car keys." Cheng Ling held the car keys and shook them in front of Jiang Qilan's nose.
Jiang Qilan stretched out his hand.
Cheng Ling gently placed the keys in his palm.
The tip of her little finger gently stroked Jiang Qilan's palm.
A series of not-so-obvious electric currents was brought up, and Jiang Qilan felt that his right arm was numb.
"Did you modify my car?" Jiang Qilan felt that the car keys still carried Cheng Ling's body temperature.
"Brother Lan, how did you find out?" Cheng Ling did not intend to hide it.
"Many places... the sound of the engine, the smoothness when parking, and the weight of the car body can all be seen."
Cheng Ling smiled playfully: "It seems that Brother Lan is a person who knows cars. Then you should try driving it later. It must feel good."
"Did it take you a long time?"
"Not too long, and I think it's quite enjoyable."
Jiang Qilan put the key in his pocket, "Are you hungry? The restaurant I mentioned is not far from here, but the road is not easy to walk. Be careful."
"Is it a famous snack shop?"
"It's a snack shop that sells grilled oysters, grilled chicken wings, etc..."
He looked at the small boots on her feet.
"There are a few loose bricks in the alley," Jiang Qilan hesitated, "and that store has been open for more than 20 years, and the ground is not very clean... Or, let's change to another store."
"More than 20 years? A time-honored brand! It must be delicious. Don't change it." Cheng Ling gently pulled Jiang Qilan's sleeve, "Let's go."
There are many narrow alleys in the city.
Many cheap restaurants with good food are hidden in the alleys.
Jiang Qilan took Cheng Ling and they walked slowly along the alleys.
Jiang Qilan was worried that they would be embarrassed because they had no topics to talk about, but he found that he was overthinking.
They were comfortable together even if they didn't say anything.
Their shoulders would touch each other from time to time, and sometimes the backs of their hands would touch gently.
Jiang Qilan was very familiar with this area, and he always guided Cheng Ling: "There is a slope here." "There is a manhole cover that is a bit uneven."
When encountering a place where it is easy to fall, Jiang Qilan would gently pull her arm and say "be careful".
Restrained and gentleman.
Cheng Ling likes this kind of brother Lan.
As she walked, a raised bluestone brick edge swayed up and down.
She pretended that she didn't stand firmly and stumbled.
Jiang Qilan was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and grabbed Cheng Ling's hand that was reflexively stretched out to adjust her body balance.
"Thank you." Cheng Ling said softly.
Jiang Qilan held her slender hand, calmed down, and said, "You're welcome."
But Cheng Ling didn't mean to retract her hand, and Jiang Qilan acted as if he had forgotten that he had another hand in his hand.
This kind of tacit little ambiguity was like a soft feather scratching the neck.
The two walked forward shoulder to shoulder.
But the distance between them was a little smaller.
"Brother Lan, come here often to eat. I see you are very familiar with this area." Cheng Ling said in a normal tone, breaking the silence.
"Yeah. This store is only open at night and closes in the early morning. When we work overtime, we will come to eat something." Jiang Qilan explained.
He felt that his palms seemed to be sweating...
Cheng Ling's hands were very warm, very thin, and very flexible.
He secretly glanced at Cheng Ling.
As a result, Jiang Qilan found that Cheng Ling was staring at him with her clear and bright eyes.
