Chapter 13 Childhood


Chapter 13 Childhood

On the way to the bookstore, Shen Jiashu sat next to Xi Ruan.

The girl quietly flipped through her poetry recitation book, seemingly not wanting to communicate with him.

Shen Jiashu looked at her for a while and saw that she was engrossed and focused. Finally, he couldn't help but lightly tapped her shoulder with his finger, trying to attract her attention.

"Did you stay up late last night because you were busy? I sent you a message, but unfortunately I fell asleep before I could wait for your reply." Shen Jiashu looked over at her, his eyebrows soft and warm.

His tone is gentle. When he speaks like this, no one can hear the meaning of blaming or questioning. Instead, it makes people feel that he just cares about you.

On hearing this, Xi Ruan remembered that she had indeed received a message from Shen Jiashu before going to bed, but it was too late at the time, so she took a look and went to bed without replying.

Xi Ruan took out his mobile phone and typed quickly on the screen.

[Sorry, I didn’t see your message until I finished the paper yesterday. It was too late and I didn’t reply because I was afraid of disturbing you. 】

Shen Jiashu nodded clearly and smiled slightly, "I guessed it would be like this."

Then he worriedly said: "Although studying is very stressful now, you should also pay attention to rest at ordinary times. The best effect is to combine work and rest. Otherwise, if you tire yourself out, you will lose more than you gain."

Xi Ruan Congshan nodded fluently.

"By the way, if you have any questions about your major subject, you can ask me at any time. Don't dare to say anything else. I am still good at studying." Shen Jiashu said confidently.

Xi Ruan smiled understandingly, without nodding or shaking his head.

Shen Jiashu still didn’t understand the meaning of Xi Ruan’s smile at this time, and was still feeling lucky for his excellent grades.

Because he feels that Xi Ruan is a very hard-working girl. If he does not study well, he may not be classified as someone like Xi Ruan at all, and he will not have the chance to perform in front of her.

The car drove forward, and the atmosphere on the car was harmonious.

Shen Jiashu is very good at finding topics. The more he knows about the other person, the more comfortable he will make people feel. He will neither talk to himself nor overly enthusiastically probe and ask questions. Communication will only make people feel that the distance between them and him has shortened a lot.

Xi Ruan, who already disliked dealing with people, felt that there was nothing wrong with communicating with him.

He would wait patiently for her to finish typing to read what she said, and even praised her cute input method skin.

When the car passed by the old city, Xi Ruan couldn't help but hold the car window and look outside.

Shen Jiashu followed and looked, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Huh? The one I passed by just now is the Public Security Family Home. My grandparents' house used to be there. I often came here to play during winter and summer vacations when I was a child. I miss it so much. !”

Xi Ruan opened his eyes slightly when he heard this, and turned around to look at Shen Jiashu carefully.

Suddenly, images from childhood appeared in my mind.

"Brother Xiaoshu, don't walk so fast..."

"Brother Xiaoshu, why didn't you come to play with me yesterday?"

"Shen Xiaoshu ! I’ll get angry if you pull my hair again!”

She looked at Shen Jiashu in trance, and for a moment, his eyebrows overlapped with the blurred face in her memory...
< br>“Xi Ruan.”

“Xi Ruan?”

Shen Jiashu stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Xi Ruan's eyes, recalling her thoughts that were flying far away, "Why are you looking at me so dumbfounded? Did you think of something?"

Xi Ruan suddenly came back to his senses and waited to focus again. When she looked at Shen Jiashu, she nodded and smiled.

Different from usual, this time her smile is much more genuine. There are moving stars in her clear eyes, and even the curvature of the ends of her eyes has an infectious smile. Her whole little face Extremely agile and dazzling.

Shen Jiashu couldn't help but hold his breath, and his heart beat uncontrollably again.

——

Xi Ruan never thought that one day in this huge city, he would be able to meet his childhood holiday exclusive playmate again.

It’s just that many years have passed and time has passed, so he may not remember her.

Xi Ruan looked at the question book in his hand, not intending to mention his childhood events to him.

The innocent and lively little girl in the past is completely gone. Let the past be gone forever.

——

When Jiang Lingsi rushed to the bookstore, he saw Shen Jiashu and Xi Ruan sitting side by side in the reading area.

Both of them had a book spread out in front of them. Shen Jiashu sat next to Xi Ruan, lowered his head and approached Xi Ruan, pointed at a place on her book and whispered something.

And Xi Ruan nodded from time to time, listening to everything he said seriously.

Tsk.

Jiang Lingsi paused and rolled his eyes, with a hint of impatience in his eyes.

His brother was about to take the college entrance examination and still find time to pick up girls despite his busy schedule. He must have been dazzled by this soft bun.

However, looking at the picture in front of him of the golden boy, Li Lei and Han Meimei, he did not want to step forward to destroy it for a moment.

Licking his canine teeth, Jiang Lingsi turned around, picked up a book, and hid behind the bookshelf.

Another forty minutes passed, when Jiang Lingsi stood so hard that the soles of his feet hurt a little, he finally saw his brother answer the phone, say hello to Xi Ruan and leave.

It’s time to leave.

Jiang Lingsi lowered his head and moved his legs and feet. After feeling much better, he leaned out and looked at Xi Ruan.

Suddenly, his shoulders sank, and a voice came from behind him.

"Lingsi?"

"..." Jiang Lingsi turned his head, and it turned out to be Shen Jiashu.

Shen Jiashu looked surprised when he saw Jiang Lingsi, "It's really you! Why did you come to the bookstore today?"

Jiang Lingsi curled his lips, fearing that he would nag him and be perfunctory. Shen Jiashu said quietly: "Come and study."

Shen Jiashu was obviously stunned, his eyes swept over the book in Jiang Lingsi's hand, his expression was a bit difficult to describe.

Looking at Jiang Lingsi's dark eyes again, with an impatient expression on his face, he resisted the preaching he wanted to blurt out and turned to care about him.

"Why didn't you ask me to pick you up when you were discharged from the hospital? Don't bear it alone next time, remember to call me."

"You have enough money recently. I’ll give you 10,000 first. If it’s not enough, just tell me.”

"When you live alone, you must pay attention to your schedule and don't stay up late all the time."

...

Jiang Lingsi listened patiently to everything Shen Jiashu said. Every time he said a word, Jiang Lingsi was moved. Ling Si moved his head leaning against the bookshelf incessantly.

Finally, Shen Jiashu had finished his instructions. He looked at the time and looked a little anxious, "I have to leave quickly. You must take care of yourself. If you need anything, call me."

As soon as he heard that he was leaving, Jiang Lingsi straightened up immediately, his dark eyes brightening slightly, as if he was looking forward to it.

Shen Jiashu shook his head helplessly. Before leaving, he couldn't help but remind him, "Although it is a good thing to have a wide range of interests, it is better for you to read less such unnutritious books."

Jiang Lingsi raised his eyebrows, how could there be unnutritious books in the bookstore?

Looking down, he looked at the book he picked up just now without even looking at it.

——"A Brief History of the Toilet and the Evolution of Human Feces" Damn it, what the hell is this! ?
