35-year-old Jiang Li was unmarried and childless, running her own small company with an annual income of several million, living a wonderful life.
19-year-old Jiang Li was pretty but brainles...
"You have no parents, no one loves you, if I don't treat you well, who will?"
After Shen Changan wiped the sweat off her face, he looked at her seriously again.
Jiang Li looked into his eyes for a long time without saying anything. If there were no children between them, Shen Changan could pursue her like this from the beginning. Perhaps she, who had never been in a relationship before, would really fall for him completely.
But now reason prevailed. Shen Changan was really nice to her so far and helped her a lot along the way. Jiang Li was very grateful to him.
But when it comes to children, Jiang Li becomes extremely vigilant.
If she admitted that the person that night was her, would Shen Changan treat her like his cousin?
Was he just being attracted to her out of temporary novelty, or was he approaching her with the intention of taking the child back?
These were not written in the original drama, and Jiang Li couldn't guess what he was thinking.
"I still have my uncle and Jiang Yi. The two children will treat me well when they grow up."
In addition to love, people also have family and friendship in their lives.
Shen Changan is very good, but if you get close to him, you are destined to be hurt all over.
Jiang Li is not a moth. He will not rush towards the fire regardless of everything even though he knows there is fire in front of him.
“Chen Changan, you are really good, but I don’t think we are suitable. You are not young anymore, so you should stop spending your time and energy on me.”
"How do you know if it's suitable if you don't try it? Don't be so hasty to reject me. Give me some time. You two can get along well and then make a decision, okay?"
Shen Changan felt uncomfortable when he heard these words, but he remained calm and spoke very rationally.
Jiang Li didn't say anything else, but continued to eat spicy strips with his head down.
Shen Changan saw that her cheeks were red from the spiciness and she kept sticking out her tongue. It was obvious that the spiciness was too much.
He quickly snatched the spicy strips from her hand and started eating them himself.
The spicy strips were indeed spicy enough and tasted very authentic. He could already tolerate spicy food, but he still couldn't handle it.
Seeing Jiang Li being so spicy, this kind of snack has been completely blacklisted by Shen Changan, and he will never buy it for her again.
"If you feel it's spicy, eat some candy quickly. The sweet taste in your mouth will make you feel less spicy after a while."
While eating spicy strips, Shen Changan did not forget to pass over a Big White Rabbit, and Jiang Li took it and ate it in one bite.
It is worthy of being the authentic White Rabbit that can be soaked in a cup of milk with just one candy. The rich milk flavor quickly covers up the taste of the spicy strips.
Jiang Li sat quietly eating snacks, and after a while she raised her head and stared at Shen Changan.
“Shen Changan…”
As soon as Jiang Li opened his mouth, Shen Changan felt his scalp tingling, fearing that he would say that the two of them were not suitable and would not even give him a chance.
"My heart is a little bit bad, and now I just want to hear nice things. If you say we are not suitable for each other again, I don't want to hear these words."
Seeing his big reaction, Jiang Li couldn't help laughing.
It would be great if he was sincere. She is also a hardy tree. She has never bloomed in her life.
"As long as you don't regret it later, I won't bring up this topic anymore. Let's not talk about that anymore. Let's just talk about how you slept last night."
"With you by my side, I sleep very soundly."
Shen Changan was very cheesy when he spoke, and Jiang Li turned his head away and ignored him.
"Shen Changan, can you be more serious? Isn't it good for you to be your teacher Shen?"
"I'm Jiang Yi's teacher Shen, not your teacher Shen. Work and life are separate. Why should I be so serious?"
"Then let's talk about Jiang Yi's exam?"
Jiang Li changed the topic. It was obvious that Shen Changan was very interested in the topic of cultivating Jiang Yi.
"Jiang Yi's test results this time really surprised me. He's been out of school for a few months, and in his first official exam, he still managed to get first place in his grade. This kid has a very strong academic foundation, which most people can't match."
Both of them were very interested in this topic, and they chatted back and forth for the whole morning.
It was almost noon when the bus stopped at a big station, and this time the stop would be longer.
There were many people selling things under the platform, and Shen Changan stopped talking about it.
"Wait here for a moment, I'll go get you something delicious."
Shen Changan got off the car and bought two meals and two egg-filled pancakes.
"Why did you buy so much? Are the things sold at the station expensive?"
"It's not expensive. How much more expensive can it be than going hungry?"
Jiang Li understood what Shen Changan said. These things were not cheap.
But Shen Changan is rich and doesn't care about the price at all.
The hot meal was wrapped in dry lotus leaves, and the rice had the fragrance of lotus leaves. Shen Changan bought a roast chicken and a portion of pork ribs.
They are both staple dishes. The cost of making them yourself is very expensive, not to mention buying them on the train platform, which would definitely be even more expensive.
The egg-filled pancakes are crispy and soft, and have a local flavor.
Jiang Li usually can't eat too much, but today she ate a meal and a pancake in one go, and her stomach was so bloated.
“Is it delicious?”
"It's delicious. I'm so full. Are you full?"
"I'm almost done, if it's not enough, just have some snacks."
Shen Changan picked up the pastry and stuffed it into his mouth. It was obvious that he was not full.
"I should have given you some earlier."
Jiang Li felt a little embarrassed. He usually only ate one bowl of rice, but today he ate at least two bowls.
After lunch, Shen Changan took out a deck of playing cards from the suitcase.
"It's taking too long. Let's play some poker. Do you know how to play?"
"Not really."
Jiang Li was afraid of exposing herself, so she pretended not to know. Shen Changan patiently explained the rules to her. He only explained it once and Jiang Li nodded and said she knew it.
"I thought of a new way to play. Do you want me to teach you?"
"Alright, I didn't expect you to be able to draw inferences from one example!"
Jiang Li taught Shen Changan the fighting style he had used before.
The two of them basically spent the afternoon playing cards, sometimes saying the wrong thing, sometimes having a fight, and time passed quickly.
At 10 o'clock in the evening, the train had arrived in the provincial capital, and after hearing the staff's manual announcement, Jiang Li hurriedly urged Shen Changan to get off the train.
"We're almost in the provincial capital, it's time for you to get off."
"I won't get off the car. I want to go back to Baiyun Town with you."
"But it's almost Chinese New Year, don't you need to go back home to spend time with your elders?"
Jiang Li knew that when Shen Changan was not married, his family urged him to get married, so he would definitely go on a blind date after he returned.
"Don't worry, it was too late when you got off the bus. I had to get you home safely, otherwise how could I leave with peace of mind?"
Three hours later the train stopped at the train station near Baiyun Town.
It was already one in the morning, and it was pitch black outside when the two got out of the car.
"Come on, I'll take you to the guesthouse."
"Are all guesthouses closed at this time?"
Jiang Li was a little worried, and Shen Changan gestured to her to rest assured.
"Even if the guesthouse is closed, I can still get him to open it."
