Chapter 146
She Is From The Countryside
146 heâs a little angry
âI followed the location and found this place. I knew that you needed to be alone, so I didnât disturb you. But I was really worried, so I just stood guard here.â
she said it lightly, but jiang rui felt very upset.
looking at shi yan, who was sitting on the ground with her hands crossed on her knees, jiang rui moved her lips with a complicated expression and said, â âYan, do you give your heart to anyone you like?â
âWhy do you say so?â Shi Yan smiled.
she didnât think that this was giving her heart and lungs. it wasnât a difficult thing for her. it was nothing more than staying up late for the first time and going back to catch up on sleep.
Jiang Rui didnât know what to say when she saw her nonchalant expression.
âYan, why didnât you knock before you came? Suffering for no reason.â
âforget it, get up. go in and wash your face and drink some hot water to warm yourself up. itâs a good thing the weather isnât cold yet. if it were any colder, youâd fall sick if you sat there the whole night!â
as he said this, he reached out his hand to shi yan.
Shi Yan was about to stand up with her hand, but just as she was about to raise her hand, she heard a soft sound.
The elevator beside them opened.
The elevator door was diagonally opposite Shi Yan.
the person who came out of the elevator met shi yanâs eyes.
He had a slender figure, a clear face, and a noble, elegant, and reserved temperament.
it was jiang che.
He was holding something in his hand, which looked like breakfast.
he shifted his gaze from shi yan to the blanket on which she was sitting, as well as the book, bag, and mobile phone beside her.
The little girlâs long hair was draped over her shoulders, and she was sitting on the ground in casual clothes.
She still had her usual calm and square temperament, but the tiredness between her brows did not escape his eyes.
jiang rui stood at the side, her hand outstretched and not having the time to withdraw it.
Seeing such a scene, Jiang che could roughly guess what was going on without asking.
âMiss Shi, what are you doing?â his gaze fell back on Shi Yanâs face.
his voice was clear and warm, no different from usual.
But Shi Yan felt a little guilty when she met his eyes.
âyueyue woke up a little early. she felt that the air outside was better, so she came out to read for a while.â
jiang rui,âyingluo.â
Yan probably didnât even believe it herself.
he didnât expect yan to be a coward.
As expected of his fifth uncle.
Despite this thought, Jiang Ruiâs heart still couldnât help but race.
no matter what, she was the cause of yanâs suffering. although she felt that she should bear with it no matter how much fifth uncle blamed her, it didnât stop her from being afraid of fifth uncle!
it was the kind of unconscious and uncontrollable fear!
âfifth, fifth uncle.â
Jiang che turned to look at her.
his eyes were deep and calm.
This made Jiang Ruiâs heart skip a beat.
Fortunately, fifth uncleâs gaze only stayed on her for a few seconds before moving away. She secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
as he retracted his gaze, jiang che walked towards them and handed the breakfast to jiang rui. jiang rui hurriedly took it.
then, with his hands empty, jiang che bent down and picked up shi yan, who was sitting there, and walked into jiang ruiâs apartment.
jiang rui reacted and hurriedly packed shi yanâs things before following her in.
jiang che carried shi yan to the sofa and placed her down. he placed his palm on her cheek and held her hand.
âah che, i didnât yingluo.â
his warm eyes looked at her, and shi yan immediately shut her mouth.
âdo you have a clean handkerchief and hot water?â jiang che asked jiang rui, who had followed them in.
â y-yes. fifth uncle, please wait a moment. iâll go get it immediately. â
Jiang Rui wasnât stupid. She knew what Jiang che wanted these for. She found a clean handkerchief and brought out a basin of hot water from the bathroom.
â thank you, â jiang che said. â you can go and have breakfast first. â
Jiang Rui was shocked by his words.
âAlright,â he said. She quickly took her breakfast and went to the dining room.
The apartment wasnât very big, and the dining room wasnât far from the living room, but it was still a short distance away.
jiang ruiâs anxious heart only relaxed a little when they were a little further away from the restaurant.
sitting at the dining table and opening the breakfast, jiang rui suddenly remembered that it was her fifth uncle who had bought it. an untimely thought came to her mind. oh my god, sheâs grown up. sheâs actually eating the breakfast that fifth uncle bought! Wonât I get diarrhea if I just eat like this?
although she thought this way, she ate very happily.
It was the breakfast that fifth uncle bought! she would probably only eat it once in her life, so she couldnât waste it! If the people in the capital knew that she had eaten the breakfast that fifth uncle had bought, who knew what they would think.
in the living room.
jiang che took the basin from jiang rui and placed it on the ground. he wrung a handkerchief dry and bent over to wipe shi yanâs face.
âAh che, Iâll do it myself.â
She raised her hand to take it, but Jiang che dodged.
Shi Yan didnât dare to move again.
She just sat there obediently and allowed him to wipe her face with a hot handkerchief. His movements were very light. After wiping her face, he helped her wipe her hands and even used a hot handkerchief to cover her hands.
shi yan originally thought that sitting outside the door for a night was nothing, but at this time, she felt more and more guilty.
he even felt a little regretful.
if she had known earlier, she would have brought a thicker blanket to cover herself.
Jiang che didnât say a word the entire time. After covering Shi Yanâs hands, he lifted the basin and asked Jiang Rui, who was eating breakfast and glancing over, â âDo you have a new toothbrush?â
âthere are! Itâs in the bathroom, youâll see it when you go in!â
Jiang che carried the basin of water with one hand and held Shi Yanâs hand with the other as they walked towards the bathroom.âGo brush your teeth and have breakfast.â
shi yan could only follow him obediently.
the two of them entered the bathroom. jiang che first wrung the handkerchief dry and hung it up. then, he poured the water in the basin and placed it properly.
shi yan, who was taking off her toothbrush and preparing to brush her teeth, thought that he would leave first after doing all this. however, she heard a â click â sound and the bathroom door was closed.
Shi Yan turned around in confusion. Before she could react, he grabbed her wrist and trapped her between him and the bathroom door.
the new toothbrush that was not disassembled fell to the ground.
when she finally reacted, she looked up and met his calm eyes.
âmr. jiang, mr. jiang!â
He held her waist with one hand and her wrist with the other. He looked down at her and said,âMiss Shi, you promised me last night that you would take good care of yourself.â
My Yingluo is fine.
without waiting for her to finish, he continued, â â although the weather in early autumn is not cold, the night is very cold. your so-called taking care of yourself is to sit in the corridor for the whole night? â
his voice was still calm and gentle.
he couldnât hear any emotions.
shi yan wanted to say that she didnât sit there for the whole night, but this was the truth and she couldnât refute it.
She had never expected him to come, much less to come so early. He had not given her time to clean up the scene and had caught her red-handed.
shi yan wanted to quibble again, but he said,âMiss Shi, Iâm a little angry.â
she gave up on quibbling.
what if he was angry?
He coaxed her.
The hand that was not held by him wrapped around his back and hugged him.âJust this once, I promise! Teacher Jiang, please donât be angry.â
