Chapter 10 Peer
A ripple appeared in the girl's stagnant pupils.
Slowly, very slowly, she raised her head and looked at Jiang Chanji.
"You are also going to apply for Hongye College, right? If you don't walk faster, you may be late." Jiang Chanji reminded again, thinking that she was distracted and didn't hear clearly.
She just stared at him blankly until a few seconds later, the ripples spread from her pupils to her eyes, and then spread from her eyes to her face, forming an expression that was a mixture of surprise and bewilderment.
"You...you...can you see me?"
Before she spoke, Jiang Chanji thought that her voice would be as soft and soft as her body, like a little girl. However, in fact, her voice was a bit hoarse, and the way her lips opened and closed had obvious...
Her clumsiness gave people a weird feeling, like...she hadn't spoken for a long time.
However, her problem is even weirder.
Jiang Chanji looked at her inexplicably and asked, "Why not? I said, you are going to apply for Hongye College, right? If you don't walk faster, you may delay your registration."
Her lips moved, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing. She just nodded slightly, and the expression on her face disappeared, returning to the state of a wood carving and clay sculpture.
Jiang Chanji thought about it, this might mean several things, one is to confirm his guess, the other is to show that she understands, and the third is to express her gratitude.
They met by chance, but without saying anything, he passed her and continued on his way.
After walking for a while, he couldn't help but look back and saw her following her from a distance - actually, it couldn't be said to be "following", because everyone was going to Hongye Academy and just dropping by.
It seemed that she took his advice and walked a little faster, otherwise she would have been lost by him as he moved forward in a hurry.
The moment he turned back, the bangs on her forehead swayed a few times, as if she had been looking at his back before. When he turned back, she quickly lowered her head again to avoid meeting his eyes.
Maybe it was a misunderstanding, maybe she was just looking up at the road.
This girl is a bit weird - but it's not his turn to say that, after all, he is also a weirdo.
Just like that, Jiang Chanji looked back after walking for a while, as if he was afraid that she would be lost.
Soon, he noticed some weirder details about her.
Pedestrians coming and going on the sidewalk seemed to turn a blind eye to her. Whether they were men or women, adults or children, they strode towards her without any intention of slowing down or turning.
If only one or two people are like this, Jiang Chanji may think that he has met a rude person, but everyone is like this, even a young mother pushing a stroller. It stands to reason that even if the other person's safety is not considered, at least he should
Are you considering the safety of your little baby?
This confused him.
Although she kept looking down at her feet, she seemed to be used to this situation. She would not wait for others to give way, and would always change her route in advance.
Move two steps to the left to avoid an office worker carrying a briefcase.
Move three steps to the right and walk around a drunk and hungover man walking towards you.
She stopped and waited for the middle-aged woman who opened a shop on the next street to pour a basin of dirty water on the sidewalk in front of her. Then she stood on tiptoes and stepped on the dry bricks to jump over the area where the sewage flowed across the street.
Whether walking or stopping, her choice is very... economical.
That's right, the word "economical" is the most appropriate word to describe it. When avoiding obstacles and pedestrians, if you can move two steps horizontally, you will never take three steps; if you can move four steps diagonally, you will never take five steps.
How is this going?
Boom!
"pain!"
Jiang Chanji looked back intently, his sugar-depleted brain trying to analyze the girl's walking style. He didn't notice that a telephone pole appeared in front of him, and he bumped into it without any precautions...
Fortunately, he was thin and light. If a fat man had bumped into him, the impact would have been severe.
He sucked in the cold air and rubbed his red forehead, grimacing in pain, but this collision seemed to have touched his inspiration.
If the bottle of invisibility potion did not partially fail, but actually made his whole body invisible, would he encounter a similar situation?
Everyone will turn a blind eye to you, ignore you, and will not avoid you when walking on the road. This... Although it is true that you can avoid creditors, it may not be such a beautiful thing.
Then, his thinking spread to a wider scope.
It's okay for pedestrians, but what if it's a car driving very fast?
If the driver didn't notice her either...
Car accidents are more serious than tigers. Every year, millions of people die in traffic accidents. Counting those injured in traffic accidents, the number is countless.
It is easy to avoid pedestrians, and anyone with normal reactions can avoid them, but high-speed vehicles are very dangerous.
Jiang Chanji rubbed his forehead and walked right into the middle of two streets. He was about to cross the road, and it was a relatively busy road. Although drivers would slow down at intersections, intersections were still areas with a high incidence of traffic accidents.
After thinking about it, he stopped, half turned around and stood, taking a nap while waiting for her.
She walked a few more steps and saw that he stopped in front of her, so she also slowed down and hesitated whether to continue walking. She was probably guessing why he stopped.
"I'm also going to Hongye College to register, let's go together." Jiang Chanji said, waiting anxiously for her reaction.
If she showed an expression like "What? You are obviously a man, why should you apply for a women's college? Are you a pervert? Stay away from me!" Then he wouldn't have to waste time and energy by going to Hongye College.
Before you starve to death, hurry up and find out if there are any opportunities to work. If there are no opportunities, just find a place to lie under a bridge and wait to die, praying to the gods and Buddhas in the sky for a good pregnancy in your next life.
Perhaps due to long-term hunger, Jiang Chanji was weak when he spoke, and sounded softer and even somewhat neutral.
She stared at him, with a very slight expression on her face, like a few eyelashes twitching.
What is she thinking?
Are you trying to figure out his intentions, or are you still wondering whether to go with him, a stranger?
The word "watch words and emotions" didn't work well for her. Jiang Chanji couldn't guess her thoughts and could only wait for her reply.
Her gaze turned slightly to one side, glanced at the busy intersection, and then returned to his face. After a while, she nodded slightly.
Jiang Chanji also breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the secret has not been exposed yet. He can go to Hongye Academy to try.
The two of them were walking side by side. When crossing the road, the driver might not notice her presence, but at least he could notice the presence of Jiang Chanji, take the initiative to slow down or avoid it, and pass the intersection without incident - this is what others are used to.
