Chapter 641 The Little Singer is Free and Easy (Eighty-Six)
Chu Tingli recalled that when she was a sophomore in college, she was riding the subway and was asked for directions by a girl in a junior high school uniform.
Asking for directions is a very common thing, but the key point is that the girl called her "Auntie" right from the start, and said "Thank you Auntie" when she left.
When she heard this name, she felt a little uncomfortable. She was only 19 years old. Girls look 13 or 14 years old, which is only a difference of 5 or 6 years. She couldn't give birth to a child that big!
She didn't say anything at the time, politely telling the middle school student how to get there. But back in the dorm, she started complaining to her roommates about it. Why was she being called "Auntie" by a girl five or six years her junior? Was she looking old? One roommate suggested the middle school student was flaunting her youthful appearance. Chu Tingli remained unconvinced, figuring she wasn't old at 19. So, the whole dorm erupted in a heated discussion about age.
College days are truly the best time of youth, but campus life is now far away from Chu Tingli.
Having said that, to be honest, women still care about their age, especially celebrities in the entertainment industry. It is normal for them to be anxious about their appearance, so she can understand Jin Le's smile. Who doesn't like to be praised for their youth? Who likes to be called auntie instead of sister?
Anyway, Chu Tingli felt that she was an ordinary person and she was no exception. However, she had a yardstick in her heart and understood that appearance would eventually age, and sweet words and reality must always be separated.
"Tingli, what are you thinking about?"
Jiang Shen caught up.
Chu Tingli smiled brightly: "I was thinking, your sweet words made Sister Le smile so happily. Next time I'm in a bad mood, remember to cheer me up."
Jiang Shen immediately assured: "Of course, we are good friends! If you cry, you can lean on my shoulder for as long as you want."
"Can't you think of something positive? I won't cry."
Jin Le also said beside him: "Xiao Jiang, you should say that as long as I am here, I will never let you cry!"
Chu Tingli felt that this sentence gave off the impression of a domineering CEO.
After hearing what Jin Le said, Jiang Shen immediately said in a deep and affectionate tone: "Don't worry, Tingli, you will be happy every day when I am around, and I will never let you cry. If there really is someone who needs to bear your pain, I hope that person is me."
Despite such deep affection, Chu Tingli shook her head and said, "Uh, it's a bit greasy, please leave."
"Okay, I said something wrong, shut up."
Jiang Shen retracted his affectionate expression, chuckled, and made a gesture to seal his mouth. Jin Le knew that the two had a good relationship and didn't mind joking with each other, so he said, "Don't you two look like a pair of bickering lovers?"
Chu Tingli and Jiang Shen shook their heads at the same time and said, "Not like that!"
Jin Le clicked his tongue twice and said he didn't believe it.
The three of them continued to climb the mountain, chatting and laughing. When they reached the halfway point, they came across a Buddhist temple. At the entrance of the temple stood a century-old tree, lush and leafy, with a spiritual presence visible to the naked eye. Chu Tingli couldn't help but pull the two of them together to take a photo. Of course, the photo was taken by the photographer, as their phones had long been collected by the production crew.
After taking the photos, Chu Tingli looked at the sky and said, "We'd better rest here for 20 minutes. It's going to rain soon."
The photographer couldn't believe it. The weather was so good and the sun was so hot, how could it suddenly rain?
"Brother, don't disbelieve me, it's a sun shower."
As Chu Tingli finished her words, the sun was half-obscured. Thunder roared in the distance, and within half a minute, a torrential downpour arrived. Tourists took shelter under the temple's eaves, where large raindrops washed away the dust in the air. Three minutes later, the sun came out again, but the rain didn't abate.
Jiang Shen said in surprise: "It really is a sun shower, but the rain is really heavy. Let's wait for a while until the rain stops. I'm afraid it will be difficult to walk."
Chu Tingli nodded. It was true. The path would be quite muddy after the rain. She said, "It seems we will have to take the main road later. I just heard some tourists say that if we walk up from the back door of the Buddhist temple, we should be able to reach the main road in a few minutes. From the main road, we can reach the top of the mountain in another hour."
Jin Le looked at the heavy rain and said, "Will the rain really stop in 20 minutes?"
Chu Tingli replied: "It should be possible. Sun showers usually don't last long."
Jiang Shen thought of the others: "This rain came suddenly. I wonder how Brother Zhao and the others are doing? Is there a place to hide from the rain?"
Jin Le said, "Don't worry, the weather is hot. Even if they get caught in the rain, they won't get sick. They should be able to find a place to hide by themselves."
Several people stood under the eaves, looking at the hazy world in the rain and enjoying the tranquility in the mountains.
