Ethan Xu Among the Weeds Chapter 8

When Julian Jiang called, Ethan Xu was wearing black basketball shorts against the bright sun, standing in the middle of the field with his hands on his H!ps.

He stared at the vast wasteland in front of him with a gloomy expression.

As far as the eye can see, the deserted fields that have not been taken care of for too long have grown a lot of weeds, both yellow and green.

An invisible heat wave rose in the field, making him feel even more scorching.

Ethan Xu sighed, took out his mobile phone from his pocket and answered the call, "Huh?"

Julian Jiang jumped to his feet and said in a wifely tone, "Why don't you answer my phone?"

Ethan Xu was annoyed when he walked to a slightly shady banana tree and said, "I'm busy."

"What are you busy with, running for mayor?" Julian Jiang said, "I'm almost to Yunxing Town, please remember to pick me up."

"Ah? Why did you come here?" Ethan Xu didn't care whether he was dirty or not. He sat down and said, "Why are you here? I told you not to come."

The phone rang several times. Ethan Xu took it off and looked at it. It was indeed a message from Julian Jiang. It was probably because there was no signal when he was on the train.

Julian Jiang sighed, with a tone like an elderly mother coming to the city to visit Beidiao's son, "I thought about it and decided to come over and have a look."

"Have you brought local eggs and sesame cakes?" Ethan Xu said without thinking, but Julian Jiang got them immediately and cursed: "Get out of here."

Ethan Xu looked up at the deserted field, reached out and picked a piece of dogtail grass and held it in his mouth, "It has fur and looks good."

He was living in a miserable state now. Felix Lin had helped him clean the small bungalow in the past few days and brought him here in the morning.

I don't know what happened, but in just a few days, his initial impatience and unwillingness turned into a desperate attitude.

Gradually accept everything I am experiencing now.

Ethan Xu was shocked. When did he become like this?

He had a strong feeling in his heart that if things continued like this, he would have to change his ways.

"Did you listen to what I said?" Julian Jiang's voice brought him back to reality, "What?"

"...I said I'll be there in about an hour. Will I take a taxi or something?" Julian Jiang was speechless.

Ethan Xu stood up, patted the dust on his B*tt, and walked back with dogtail grass in his mouth. "It's hard to get a taxi in this area. I'll drive to pick you up."

He recalled the route Leon Lin took him in. The distance was not very far, but he had to go around many alleys.

"Have you bought a car?" Julian Jiang said.

"Fart, living expenses of one thousand a month, how the hell did I get the spare money to buy a car, I borrowed it."

He planned to borrow the white electric car from Felix Lin.

Julian Jiang laughed a few times and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for you."

Ethan Xu called Felix Lin again. He was currently helping his grandmother cut her trouser legs in the tailor shop.

Felix Lin looked at the caller on the phone screen and waited for five seconds before picking up, "Hello."

"Um, lend me your car for a while," he said.

"Borrow a car? Yes, yes. Do you know the road?" Felix Lin asked.

Ethan Xu thought for a few seconds and felt a little unsure. His sense of direction was not very good and he had to walk a route several times before he could remember it.

"We should...know each other."

Felix Lin put down the scissors, "Are you going to buy something? I can take you there."

"No, I'm going to pick up a friend." He explained simply.

My friend, Yunxing Town is remote and has inconvenient transportation. It takes a long time to take a train. His friend actually came all the way to see him.

They must be very important friends, Felix Lin thought to himself.

"I'll go with you."

After saying a few words to his grandma, Felix Lin took the car keys and went to the small bungalow to find Ethan Xu, who happened to be walking back from the fields.

When the two arrived at the train station, the time was just right. People on the bus got off one after another. Ethan Xu saw Julian Jiang at a glance.

He carries a red sports crossbody bag, has brown curly hair, and has a black butterfly pattern tattoo on the back of his neck. His height advantage makes him extremely conspicuous in the crowd.

He shook his head and looked around curiously, not looking too smart.

He also saw Ethan Xu and shouted, "Master Xu!" The people next to him looked at him, which was embarrassing.

Julian Jiang trotted over, raised his fist and beat him on the chest, then hugged him, "Oh, oh, I almost miss you."

Ethan Xu pushed him away and slapped him, "Get out of here, you B!tch."

Julian Jiang immediately let go of him, took out a cigarette case from his pocket and handed him a cigarette, saying with emotion: "This place is indeed quite choking, and it's different from what I imagined."

Ethan Xu rolled his eyes at him, playing with the cigarette in his hand without smoking, "What did you imagine?"

Julian Jiang chewed on his cigarette and said vaguely: "I can't tell you, I'm just...poor."

Ethan Xu smiled and did not reply.

The scary thing is that he has gradually become accustomed to this poor place.

People were coming and going. Julian Jiang was afraid of being hit, so he stood aside, only to find that there was someone standing behind Ethan Xu. He was blocked and didn't look at anything.

Felix Lin also stuck his head out and stared at him silently.

"Master, do you know this man?" Julian Jiang pointed at Felix Lin and said.

Ethan Xu turned sideways and introduced the two of them, "Felix Lin, the friend I made in Yunxing Town."

Julian Jiang's eyes widened and he was so shocked that he dropped his cigarette, "Are you that idiot?"

Felix Lin frowned, feeling that the person in front of him looked more like a delinquent than Ethan Xu, and he even called him a fool, which was rude.

Julian Jiang felt that he might have offended someone, so he changed his words: "Sorry, um, my name is Julian Jiang, Jiang Ziya's Jiang, Zhuo Zhuo."

But his person has nothing to do with these two noble characters.

Felix Lin hummed: "My name is Felix Lin."

I took Julian Jiang to the shopping mall I went to last time and chose a quieter beverage shop.

Julian Jiang tugged at his clothes and shouted, "It's so hot that I'm finally alive."

The waiter in the store served each of the three a cup of lemon tea.

Julian Jiang drank a few sips and stared at Felix Lin curiously, wondering how Ethan Xu could be friends with him. Anyone who knew Ethan Xu knew that Felix Lin's character was what he hated the most.

"Felix Lin, how old are you this year?" Julian Jiang asked with a smile.

"Twenty-one." Felix Lin said.

Julian Jiang made two oohs and aahs, and he turned out to be one year older than him. He joked, "You look like a minor."

Moreover, everyone he met along the way was tanned, except for Felix Lin, who looked as white as a girl.

"Then you go to school?"

Felix Lin paused. He went to college for two years and then dropped out because something happened at home.

Felix Lin didn't really want to mention the past, "I'm not in school anymore, I'm working."

"What job?"

His job was unstable and he spent most of his time helping out in his grandmother's tailor shop.

"Occasionally... I'll take some location orders." Felix Lin thought for a while and added: "Usually at home."

"What are you shooting for? Model?" Julian Jiang asked doubtfully.

Felix Lin nodded slightly, "That's about it. If tourists from out of town come over, just come to me and I will take the order."

Ethan Xu glanced at him in surprise and took a sip of lemon tea, "You are still a photographer."

Felix Lin lowered his head, "It's just an amateur."

At first it was just because I liked it, but later it gradually developed into a side job, which can be considered a good income.
