Chapter 15 Only you can help me
Xi Ruan looked at the young man in front of her, her long eyelashes trembling, and there were thoughts in her amber eyes that no one could understand, but it could be seen at a glance that she was He felt broken and helpless at the time, and seemed to still be frightened by what happened just now.
She turned to the nanny beside her, signaled that she and Jiang Lingsi were going to have dinner, and walked towards the young man.
The nanny grabbed her wrist and didn't want Xi Ruan to pass.
Jiang Lingsi felt funny, "It's just a meal, how can I eat her in public?"
After saying that, Jiang Lingsi glanced at the nanny coldly, "What are you doing today? I will tell the Bai family exactly what happened."
The nanny felt cold and let go of Xi Ruan's hand.
——
Inside the restaurant.
Xi Ruan looked at the young man opposite who was concentrating on eating, and felt inexplicably more at ease. The previous uneasiness and fear all disappeared in front of him.
Her eyes swept over his broad shoulders and muscular arms, and then over his connected hands. They were long and white, with well-defined joints. The raised veins on the back of his hands were filled with a gushing sense of strength, and they turned out to be extremely beautiful.
It seemed that she had been looking for too long. The young man opposite noticed it. He looked up and glanced at her untouched dinner plate.
“Can’t you eat it?” Jiang Lingsi held his chin in one hand and spoke in a very calm tone.
I kept staring at him and refused to eat. He was probably frightened.
Xi Ruan couldn't help but lower his head when he saw his seductive face.
Picking up the chopsticks, she stared at the dish in front of her for two seconds. She really had no appetite.
"If you don't want to eat, don't eat. Don't eat until you are hungry."
Jiang Lingsi lowered his head and started eating again after leaving a few words. The system in his mind reminded him frantically that the mission required the two of them to eat together. He also turned a deaf ear to them all.
Xi Ruan breathed a sigh of relief, put down his chopsticks, and quietly focused his eyes on Jiang Lingsi again.
Her eyelashes were slightly lowered, and the dim lights of the restaurant shone on her, making her amber eyes look a little dim.
Xi Ruan felt that he might have been confused by him.
She shouldn't let down her guard against him like this.
But he had just saved her, and she even thought he looked more reassuring than her nanny.
In this way, Xi Ruan watched Jiang Lingsi finish his meal quietly.
Wiping his mouth, Jiang Lingsi took a few more sips of water. Thinking of his mission, he decided to save it appropriately.
"Cheers."
He raised the cup towards Xi Ruan and said words that should be happy, but the expression and tone on his face were very cold.
Xi Ruan was stunned by this incoherent move, but he still raised his cup and touched him cooperatively.
Seeing him turn his face and drink the remaining black tea in one gulp, Xi Ruan also picked up the cup and took a few sips.
The warm liquid moisturized her dry throat. She put down the water glass, and after much hesitation, she typed a line of text on her phone and put it in front of him.
【I want to talk to you. 】
Jiang Lingsi glanced at the screen, leaned back, and the corners of his lips exposed under the brim of his hat were slightly raised.
“Well, let’s talk.”
Look, isn’t this the beginning of a pleasant conversation?
But then, when he saw Xi Ruan's words, the corners of his lips immediately dropped again.
【I am very grateful to you for saving me. I believe you are a good person, so can you let me go? 】
Jiang Lingsi stared at this sentence and hesitated to speak.
Seeing this, Xi Ruan typed another line: [I am very boring, I just want to study seriously by myself, I don’t know how to fall in love, and I don’t have any interesting reactions for you to talk about. 】
Jiang Lingsi pursed his lips, and a layer of gloomy mist gradually formed in his black eyes. He raised his eyes to stare at the girl opposite who had a dull look on her face.
What has she experienced to have such an idea?
——
At this time, Jiang Lingsi probably understood why he had lost intimacy points despite helping her.
Most likely she was teased by those fucking bastards.
The facts are indeed similar to what Jiang Lingsi guessed.
When Xi Ruan was ostracized and bullied by her classmates at school, a boy helped her. Later, when she was in trouble many times, he stood up for her, cared about her and protected her, even if he was implicated in rumors because of her. He doesn't care either.
She was very grateful to the boy at that time, and because she didn’t know how to repay him, she bought breakfast and secretly delivered it to the boy’s seat every day.
Until one morning someone was picking on her and she didn’t have time to deliver breakfast. After the evening study hall, all the people had left, so she thought about delivering some snacks, but as soon as she reached the door of the boy’s class, she I heard him talking to his friends.
“Brother Fang, why didn’t the little mute bring you breakfast today? You’re not going to fail, right?”
“Is it possible, the little mute is already obsessed with me, okay? , something must have been delayed today.”
“Stop bragging, I’m so confused that I haven’t seen you take her down yet, don’t forget the two-month deadline, it won’t work. You have to give us 800 yuan each.”
"Tch, just wait and transfer money to me. I just think she is really pitiful.
You don't know, every time she looks at her little grateful eyes, it really makes me a little bit sad. I can't bear it anymore, haha..."
"Oh, brother Fang, you are so sympathetic to her, it doesn't really matter, just play with her if you like, if nothing else, it's quite nice to take her pretty face out with her. She has face.”
“Go, go, who really likes a mute? It’s not hard enough!”
“Why don’t you arrange some more people to bully her? , I’ll give you more fire.”
……
Xi Ruan stopped listening to the next words.
She threw all the snacks she bought into the trash can, just like feeding all her sincerity to the dog.
But she still remembers how moved she was when someone stood up for her for the first time. At that time, he said to her with concern, "Xi Ruan, are you okay?"
"You ask how to thank me?"
"Then you only need to do one thing. Remember, my name is Fang Ruizhe."
...
Xi Ruan knew that she was not so "famous" in the new school. , so when she clearly didn't know Jiang Lingsi, but he could call her by name and said words that seemed familiar to her, she felt wary in her heart.
She thought that she had become the target of entertainment for her young master, so she wanted to stay away from him.
——
"Xi Ruan." Jiang Lingsi called her, pulling her out of her memories.
Xi Ruan looked over and saw his dark eyes burning, "Do you know who I am."
Of course I do.
Xi Ruan nodded.
Jiang Lingsi made a sound, turned his head away from her, and said in a low voice, "You have no idea."
Xi Ruan frowned slightly, Jiang Lingsi leaned forward, held his chin with one hand and continued: "Go and ask about me, Jiang Lingsi. Although I am not a good student, I am not a jerk enough to play tricks on an innocent girl. "
[Then why do you know about me?" 】 Xi Ruan hesitated for a moment before raising his question.
"I have a friend in Class 5, and he told me what he told me, don't you know."
Xi Ruan thought of Luo Yihao, and this explanation was very reasonable.
But...
【Why do you happen to be here today? 】
Xi Ruan felt that it was too coincidental. She did not think that he had arranged the two events in succession, but she felt that he seemed to know where she was in trouble, and he appeared just to help her. Suspiciously like he was following her.
Jiang Lingsi was not impatient in the face of Xi Ruan's cross-examination. He glanced at his phone and said calmly: "Check the information."
"I also met my brother. He saw He looked at me and gave me some money, and something happened to you when I was leaving." Jiang Lingsi thought to himself that this was not a lie, it was all true, and he couldn't say anything about the system anyway.
In order to increase credibility, Jiang Lingsi added, "My brother, Shen Jiashu, you can also ask him."
Even though he said that, Jiang Lingsi knew that Xi Ruan would definitely not go to his brother to get to the bottom of things.
And he knows that his brother's image must be very good with Xi Ruan. If he gets him, his own credibility should rise sharply.
Sure enough, Xi Ruan believed most of this after hearing this. Under Jiang Lingsi's misleading language, he thought the two brothers had an appointment in the bookstore.
She blinked, thinking that before Shen Jiashu left, he told her that there was something going on at home. Now it seems that he might be referring to Jiang Lingsi?
She lowered her eyes thoughtfully.
In fact, the fact that she asked these words meant that she already wanted to believe him, but there was still a hurdle in her heart that she couldn't overcome.
【Why do you want me to remember you when we first met? 】
Jiang Lingsi was slightly stunned, and the brim of his hat was lowered, covering his expression.
After being silent for a while, he raised his head, and his thick black eyelashes slowly drew an arc, revealing his inky pupils.
"There is something... maybe only you can help me."
"?" Xi Ruan's eyes showed confusion.
Jiang Lingsi took a long breath and clicked on the screen of his mobile phone, "It's not convenient to say it here, so add WeChat." (End of Chapter)
