Chen Yuncheng nodded, "Go get busy."

Ning Junyan said, "When do you want to leave tomorrow?"

Chen Yuncheng opened his mouth, but couldn't say what he refused, and finally said, "Come soon."

Ning Junyan nodded, "How about I pick you up at 7:30?"

Chen Yuncheng said, "Okay."

Before Ning Junyan left, he put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Don't worry too much, everything can be solved."

Chen Yuncheng forced a smile and said, "I know."

Before 7:30 the next morning, Chen Yuncheng opened the shutter and saw that Ning Junyan's Land Rover was parked in front of his store.

Ning Junyan was not in the car, but stood on the side of the road leaning against the car, wearing the thick down jacket he wore last time.

Chen Yuncheng was a little surprised, "Why didn't you tell me when you arrived?"

Ning Junyan glanced at the time and said, "It's not even half past seven, so I can't bear to bother you."

Chen Yuncheng actually woke up long ago. He had something in his heart, and he didn't sleep very well last night. Apart from Zhou Yan's affairs, he couldn't help but think about Ning Junyan's attitude.

All this made Chen Yuncheng upset.

It takes about five hours to drive from the city to the small county where Zhou Yan lives. If everything goes well, you should be able to go back and forth on the same day; if Zhou Yan is not found, or Zhou Yan does not go back at all, then there is no need to stay there overnight.

So Chen Yuncheng only brought his wallet and mobile phone, nothing else, he just pulled down the rolling shutter and locked it from the outside.

After locking the door, he asked Ning Junyan, "Have you eaten breakfast? Do you want to leave after breakfast?"

Ning Junyan said, "What do you want to eat?"

Chen Yuncheng glanced at the noodle shop next door and asked, "Can I eat noodles?"

Ning Junyan said: "Yes, I can."

The owner of the noodle restaurant and Chen Yuncheng had known each other for a long time. It was too early and there was no business. He stood at the gate and kept looking at the Land Rover that Ning Junyan parked on the side of the road.

Seeing Chen Yuncheng and the others coming to eat noodles, the boss greeted Chen Yuncheng loudly and invited them to sit, and then asked Chen Yuncheng, "Is that your friend's car? I've seen it a few times."

Chen Yuncheng laughed and replied, "Yes."

The boss took a rag to wipe the table for them, and said, "A car worth more than 800,000 yuan? Yes."

Chen Yuncheng glanced at Ning Junyan and saw that Ning Junyan took two pairs of chopsticks out of the chopstick holder with a blank expression, and he said to the boss, "It's not mine that other people's cars are, how can I know."

Seeing that Ning Junyan didn't mean to talk to the boss, he turned around and entered the store with a dry smile.

Ning Junyan handed a pair of chopsticks to Chen Yuncheng and said, "You can take a car and drive it if you need it."

Chen Yuncheng raised his hand and brought over both pairs of chopsticks. While getting up to heat the chopsticks in the pot, he said, "I don't need it, I'm afraid I can't afford it."

Chapter 25

After breakfast, Ning Junyan went to start the car and turned on the heater.

When Chen Yuncheng got in the car, the temperature in the car was already very high. Ning Junyan in the driver's seat took off his thick down jacket, and there was only a slightly thin gray knitted sweater inside.

The knitted sweater is quite loose, but because of its thinness and drape, it fits Ning Junyan's body, and you can clearly see the shapely contours of his shoulders and arms.

Chen Yuncheng also took off his coat, he was wearing an old brown sweater, the sleeves and hem were frayed with hairballs, and after washing it too many times, it had already faded.

He subconsciously tidied up the badly worn cuffs and turned to look at Ning Junyan, but Ning Junyan's attention was not on him, but was setting the navigation address on his mobile phone.

"Is it here?" Ning Junyan showed him the phone.

Chen Yuncheng nodded when he saw that the destination set by Ning Junyan was the county seat of Zhou Yan's hometown.

Ning Junyan put the phone on the bracket next to the steering wheel, and while turning the steering wheel to let the car drive away from the road and merge into the traffic on the street, he said to Chen Yuncheng, "If you are sleepy, sleep for a while, it's still early."

Chen Yuncheng said, "I'm not sleepy." He quietly watched the scenery outside the car window for a while, then turned around and said to Ning Junyan, "When you get tired of driving, let me drive."

Ning Junyan did not answer him.

Chen Yuncheng asked "Huh?" with some doubts, wanting to know what Ning Junyan was thinking.

Ning Junyan looked ahead and said in a flat tone, "Not tired."

Although it is not sleepy, the car is too warm. After the car left the city and entered the expressway, the scenery on both sides of the road became monotonous. Chen Yuncheng leaned on the back of the seat, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleep. .

He didn't sleep very deeply, but intermittently, and he could still continue to sleep when he woke up occasionally.

Until one time, when he woke up, he found that the car was parked in the service area, and Ning Junyan by his side had disappeared.

Chen Yuncheng adjusted his movements and sat up straight, and found that his down jacket was covering his body. It should be that Ning Junyan turned off the fire when he got out of the car, so he covered a piece of clothing for him.

He opened the car door and got out of the car, feeling that the temperature here was at least three or four degrees lower than the urban area, and the cold wind suddenly blew on his face, forcing him to put on his jacket. He took out his mobile phone and glanced at the time, almost two hours had passed since their departure.

It is not the tourist season, and there are not too many cars and people at the service station.

As soon as Chen Yuncheng got out of the car, he saw Ning Junyan walking towards him from a distance with two bottles of mineral water in his hand.

Ning Junyan approached and handed him one of the bottles.

Chen Yuncheng took it and suddenly found that the bottle in Ning Junyan's hand was still frozen. In this cold season, the bottle was also stained with a layer of water mist.

"Isn't it cold?" Chen Yuncheng lowered his head and gestured to the ice water in his hand.

"No," Ning Junyan answered him, then unscrewed the bottle cap, raised his head and took a sip of water, and continued, "I'm used to it."
