"Otherwise what?" An Yuzhi glanced at An Yuxi with a slight sidelong glance.
You see, he'd wanted to do this for a long time, but he just couldn't find the opportunity.
Now that the opportunity has been presented to him, it would be unreasonable for him not to seize it.
"Hmph ╯^╰" An Yuxi snorted lightly, indicating her dissatisfaction.
"Xiaxia, let's go, it's getting late." An Yuzhi glanced down at his watch and looked at Jiang Anxia gently.
“Okay.” Jiang Anxia nodded obediently.
Indeed, her train was at 8 o'clock, and it's almost 7 o'clock now.
"Xiaxia, remember to let me know when you arrive safely." An Yuzhi walked to Jiang Anxia's left, carrying the suitcase that Jiang Anxia had been holding.
An Yuxi was to Jiang Anxia's right, also carrying a box in his hand.
The box contained food that the two had prepared for Jiang Anxia, as well as some other things, but neither of them said what they were.
Jiang Anxia also didn't have the habit of pressing for answers.
"Okay." Jiang Anxia nodded softly. 'Actually, even without An Yuzhi saying so, she would know how.'
After all, they genuinely care about her.
As for the Jiang family, Jiang Anxia can speak frankly.
When she first arrived at the Jiang family, they treated her very well. But after what happened, she became somewhat estranged from them.
The gap isn't large, but it has definitely formed.
Forget it, she decided not to think about it anymore, lest she only cause herself more trouble.
Let's talk about everything when we get back; let's not overthink it now.
"Xiaxia, read more books when you get back; they might come in handy later," An Yuzhi said, recalling the news she had recently received.
“Okay, I will.” Jiang Anxia nodded.
She probably knew why An Yuzhi would say that.
It seems that the resumption of the college entrance examination is just around the corner.
Jiang Anxia had long forgotten the exact date, only remembering that it was sometime in July.
Time passed slowly but surely, and along the way, An Yuzhi and An Yuxi gave each other careful instructions.
Jiang Anxia knew they were doing it out of concern for her, so she wasn't annoyed.
Every time they said something, Jiang Anxia would listen obediently without arguing back.
By the time we arrived at the train station, it was almost time for the train to depart.
An Yuzhi and An Yuxi saw Jiang Anxia off on the train and made sure she was settled in. They gave her a few more detailed instructions before reluctantly getting off the train. Even after getting off, they didn't leave; they stood outside Jiang Anxia's carriage, watching her through the window.
Jiang Anxia sat on the bed, her eyes fixed on the view outside the window.
This farewell may be the last time we meet, perhaps when she gets accepted into Kyoto University.
The train slowly started moving without anyone noticing. Jiang Anxia smiled and waved to An Yuzhi and the other person.
Seeing this, An Yuxi also waved at Jiang Anxia.
As Jiang Anxia watched the two figures gradually disappear, the smile on her face vanished in an instant.
This kind of parting scene was indeed not suitable for her.
Jiang Anxia thought to herself silently.
With a soft sigh, she suppressed the reluctance in her heart.
It's okay, she's almost gotten used to parting ways.
The train rattled along. When Jiang Anxia finally got off the train, her face was etched with exhaustion.
So this is what it's like to travel by train alone. Luckily, she had a sleeper berth. If she had a seat, Jiang Anxia thought she might as well have just killed her.
"Xiaxia." Just as Jiang Anxia was in a daze, a familiar voice rang in her ears.
She looked up.
About two meters away from her, Gu Yanzhu smiled gently, her eyes looking at her tenderly.
"Gu Yanzhu." Jiang Anxia perked up and a smile appeared on her lips.
Gu Yanzhu looked at the little girl she hadn't seen for over a month, and her heart melted.
The little girl was still as pretty as before, with a sweet smile on her lips; her fair face was still smaller than his palm.
Her dark, bright eyes held a hint of barely perceptible grievance.
"What's wrong? Were you bullied on the train?" Gu Yanzhu approached the little girl, rubbed her head, and asked in a deep voice.
"No." Jiang Anxia shook her head slightly.
She just couldn't help but want to act cute and affectionate towards Gu Yanzhu whenever she saw him.
"That's good. Let's go back. Dinner is ready at home." Gu Yanzhu bent down and picked up the box from the ground.
"Okay. I haven't had your cooking in so long." The little girl nodded obediently, reaching out a hand to tug at the corner of Gu Yanzhu's clothes.
Gu Yanzhu smiled and looked at the little girl with doting eyes.
So cute and cuddly, this is his.
...
Once home, Jiang Anxia slumped into a chair.
The moment she sat down, she felt as if she were still on the train, her whole body swaying.
Shaking her head, Jiang Anxia sighed helplessly.
This has already caused long-term consequences!
"Sweetie, dinner's ready." Gu Yanzhu was carrying food when she saw the little girl sitting sprawled out at the door.
He couldn't help but laugh and called out to the little girl in a gentle voice.
"Okay." Jiang Anxia perked up, but her voice couldn't hide her exhaustion.
"Alright, I know our little darling has been working hard these past two days, but you've still eaten, so go and rest with a full stomach." Gu Yanzhu put the food on the table, turned around and walked to Jiang Anxia, gently coaxing her.
"I know!" Jiang Anxia's face flushed slightly, and she pursed her lips shyly.
Honestly, she's so old, why does Ayan treat her like a little child?
"Good girl." Gu Yanzhu smiled, bent down slightly, and with a strong pull, steadily lifted the little girl to the table.
Jiang Anxia's small hands loosely wrapped around Gu Yanzhu's neck until Gu Yanzhu put her back on the stool, at which point she let go.
"How could you..." Jiang Anxia couldn't bring herself to say the rest.
She was about to stand up when Gu Yanzhu suddenly did this.
This made her already slightly flushed face even redder.
"What's wrong? Eat up! It's all your favorite food." Gu Yanzhu gently patted the little girl's head.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Anxia looked down and indeed, they were all foods she liked to eat.
Sweet and sour pork ribs, Kung Pao chicken, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
"Have you eaten?" Jiang Anxia asked Gu Yanzhu, noticing there was only one bowl of rice.
"Eat up! Eat quickly! You'll need to rest properly later." Hearing the little girl's concern for her, Gu Yanzhu was overjoyed.
"Really?" Jiang Anxia asked uncertainly.
Because she could see that the dishes didn't seem to have been touched; they were all in their original places.
"Really, I ate it before coming to town." Gu Yanzhu nodded slightly.
Seeing that Gu Yanzhu said that, Jiang Anxia stopped asking questions and began to eat quietly, occasionally feeding Gu Yanzhu.
Every time Gu Yanzhu saw the little girl offer him food, he would open his mouth and eat it.
He wouldn't refuse, because in his view, it was a way to build a relationship with the girl.
