Chapter 7
It was just a small repair project, but Sheng Jinyu took more than two hours to complete it.
When he installed the engine back on the model and was about to get up and leave, he accidentally kicked something over.
Sheng Jinyu frowned and looked down.
The cold light under his feet passed through the crystals, scattering colorful stars on the ground. The light spots were projected onto the surface of his shoes, leaving behind colorful spots.
Only then did he remember that a living person had just come here, but he sent him away because he thought it was too noisy.
After standing there for two seconds, Sheng Jinyu lifted his foot and finally bent down to pick it up. It was not difficult to guess that this was a trophy for some award. The most conspicuous words on it were Su He's name.
If Sheng Jinyu hadn't kicked this thing accidentally, he might have just left.
He clenched his aching right hand, turned around silently and pushed open the door of the collection room.
Bright light illuminated the corner of the room, where a figure huddled on the ground, carefully wiping the model in his hands with a towel and care solution.
Su He lowered his head, his fair skin under the light looked like a collectible displayed here. His slightly long bangs hung down, blocking his vision. He raised his hand to smooth his hair, shook his sore neck, and then lowered his head to continue working.
After wiping one, he held it in his palm and admired it happily for a while, as if he liked it very much, and then climbed the ladder to the top floor of the display cabinet.
After repeating the up and down movements countless times, Su He missed a step and the whole person shook violently with the ladder.
His heart was empty, it was terrible!
I'm afraid he's going to fall and get a bloody head!
In the blink of an eye, a force suddenly kicked the unstable ladder onto the cabinet with a loud bang, stabilizing the ladder simply and roughly, preventing Su He from hitting the ground with his head.
Su He steadied the cabinet and looked up, and Sheng Jinyu had already retracted his legs.
He walked out without looking back, leaving only one sentence: "Go back and eat."
His back was resolute, upright and cold as he walked. Su He suddenly remembered that he once fed a stray cat that was blind in one eye.
The cat was dirty, but its fur was very beautiful. It was very fierce and often bared its teeth and stretched out its claws at him.
After being yelled at a few times, Su He no longer approached it. He just put the cat food far away, left it there and walked away, no longer trying to touch it.
After not coming for a while, he found that the cat would actually wait for him at the place where he usually put food. When it saw him coming, it would run away, then squat on the side and secretly wag its tail at him.
It's both infuriating and pitiful.
Sheng Jinyu is a bit like the cat, but Su He doesn't expect Sheng Jinyu to wag his tail at him. He just wants to live a peaceful and stable life, one day at a time.
This time Sheng Jinyu helped him, and he felt that he should say thank you to Sheng Jinyu, but he also didn't want to, just like after being bullied by that cat, he didn't want to get close to it again.
After thinking about it, Su He simply wrote a thank you note and put it directly on Sheng Jinyu's bedroom door.
Of course, he met the sticky note again the next day in the trash can in the living room.
But this at least meant that Sheng Jinyu saw it, so Su He felt relieved and stopped worrying about it.
After staying in Xiaoxie Garden for a long time, Su He gradually got the hang of this temporary "life assistant" job.
He began to learn from the nutritionist, arranging Sheng Jinyu's diet, and preparing meals for him according to Gu Ming's medical advice. It was also within his job scope to remind Sheng Jinyu to take medicine and do rehabilitation every day, even when Sheng Jinyu did not cooperate.
Sheng Jinyu brought him home not to raise an ancestor to be fed and well-nourished and to do nothing, his original intention was not just to keep this "dangerous element" under his nose and isolate Su He from the possibility of contacting his official and personal affairs.
There is another reason, which is due to some bad intentions.
He asked Assistant Fang to treat and require Su He with the same attitude as a life assistant, so all Su He had to do was manage his food, clothing, housing, transportation, and other trivial matters such as what to eat and wear.
He asked Su He to do it, but he refused to cooperate and did not give him the opportunity to do it well. This was the most frustrating thing.
Sheng Jinyu's purpose was simple: a top business student would not be able to stand such humiliation and burying.
At that time, Su He will definitely expose himself to him first. Then, in this battlefield without the smoke of gunpowder, the one who exposes himself first will definitely lose.
Su He was completely unaware of this and continued to work diligently and happily knocking on Sheng Jinyu's door.
She reminded him to take medicine and do rehabilitation, but as expected, he was ignored. Sheng Jinyu seemed to be deliberately ignoring him and adopted a "no-care policy" of ignoring him, not doing anything, and not listening to him.
Su He discovered this and began to suspect that Sheng Jin was in a bad mood that day, or that the medicine was really unpalatable, but he didn't reflect on whether it was his own problem.
Often when Sheng Jinyu walked out of the gym covered in sweat, he would bump into Su He, who was holding a towel in one hand and a decoction in the other, staring at him with his innocent big watery eyes and blocking the door.
After being ignored by Sheng Jinyu, he followed her everywhere like a quiet tail, and would not leave even when scolded.
He followed until Young Master Sheng became upset and turned around to yell at him, "Are you done yet?"
Su He shook his head: "It will end soon. I won't follow you after you finish drinking."
"Am I still too good-tempered?" Sheng Jin stared at him coldly.
Usually when he said this with a cold face, his subordinates were already busy admitting their mistakes and apologizing, and frantically promising not to make the same mistake again next time.
But Su He was obviously not an ordinary case.
He lowered his head and murmured: "Not very good..."
It's actually very bad.
Before Sheng Jinyu could get angry again, Su He hurriedly continued, "If you don't talk to me, I can't guess why you don't like drinking. You have to tell me, and we can think of a solution together."
At this moment, Sheng Jinyu looked at Su He's serious and obedient face, and all his anger was inexplicably deflated, and he kept it in his heart.
It's like punching cotton, I can't express it nor swallow it.
From then on, he was even more unfriendly to Su He.
Su He guessed and guessed for a long time, and felt that the eldest young master's thoughts were really hard to guess.
When he delivered the medicine the next day, he also sent a small plate of dried sausage along with it.
Sheng Jinyu's eyes when he looked at him had changed from irritation to doubt. He was puzzled that there really was someone so shameless that he could stand firm in the wind and rain and come up to lick his cold face day after day.
Su He sincerely handed over the sausage and began to promote it. "I tried a little of this medicine, and it's indeed a bit bitter. But I have a secret recipe. You can't take sugar when taking bitter medicine, because sweetness can't overpower the taste. You need something very salty like this. A little bit will make your tongue numb, and it won't be bitter anymore!"
Seeing him handing it over like offering a treasure, Sheng Jinyu frowned and looked at Su He for a long time, as if the two were confronting each other.
After a while, he raised his hand, picked up the medicine bowl, drank it all, put it back on the tray, turned around and left without saying a word.
This protracted tug-of-war ended with Su He's narrow victory. From then on, Sheng Jinyu no longer needed him to urge him to take medicine.
For more than half a month, the relationship between Su He and Sheng Jin has shown a very strange state -
He did his job diligently and conscientiously, but Sheng Jinyu often did not give him the opportunity to interfere too much. The relationship between them was like dry ice entering water, boiling out countless bubbles and continuous smoke, but without any sparks or heat.
They are neither tit-for-tat nor able to coexist harmoniously.
Su He also gradually understood the cold, elusive temper of Master Shengda.
He didn't want to bring bad luck upon himself, but he would carefully prepare two sets of clothes for going out every day, iron them and hang them on a makeshift clothes rail in case of emergency.
At first, Sheng Jinyu ignored his preparations, and Su He did not ask any questions and continued to do such unnecessary things every day.
For example, after every meal, Su He would see when Sheng Jin had finished eating and would come over with the medicine box.
If the other person looked better, Su He would say a few more words, telling him which medicine was used to treat what and how much to take.
If Sheng Jinyu had a stinky face and was obviously upset, Su He would not say anything, but would put all the medicines together and hand them to him, then quickly retreat.
That day, Su He was watering the flowers by the bay window when he heard impatient footsteps coming from the stairs.
Sheng Jinyu was obviously in a hurry to go out and was talking on the phone. Perhaps he had no choice but to change into the clothes prepared by Su He.
The royal blue shirt he was wearing made him look glowing, but the jewel brooch on his chest was not as dazzling as his face.
Su He smiled with satisfaction, feeling that his clothes were ironed particularly straight today.
He bent down and continued watering the flowers.
After Sheng Jinyu left, S037 drifted over and said, "Su He, you haven't spoken in a few days. Aren't you bored?"
Su He seemed to have finally met someone who understood him. He put down the kettle and moved to S037's side. He said embarrassedly, "I'm bored, 037. Please talk to me. I'm afraid I'll become mute if I don't speak."
"Okay!" S037 was eager to try it out excitedly, but then lost interest in an instant.
It felt indignant for Su He and said angrily, "Are you very sad? Few people can stand Jinzi's cold violence. He has been so fierce these days and has been too harsh on you!"
Su He smiled and said, "This is his home after all. He likes quietness so we should talk less. Besides, this is also part of my job. At least you are here to keep me company when he is not around."
"It's good that you think so! Then let's talk about something else. I'm currently deducing cloud algorithms. Or, do you want to talk about Agatha Christie's reasoning?" S037 asked enthusiastically.
Su He lowered his head and thought for a while before asking the question that had been on his mind for a long time: "Before that, can I ask how he got injured?"
In fact, Su He was not so curious about Sheng Jinyu, but it just happened that the story he had involved the field of racing, and when he searched for information online, he would inevitably see news about Sheng Jinyu.
The Internet is now flooded with speculation about Sheng Jin's temporary retirement due to injury, and the speculations are becoming more and more outrageous.
It has developed to the point where some people say that he was addicted to drugs and had a car accident because he was unconscious. Their statements sound so convincing that he is almost sent to a drug rehabilitation center.
S037 didn't shy away from the question and said directly, "Actually, the incident wasn't as exaggerated as the rumors say. He was simply practicing on the track when he crashed into an empty car parked on the side of the road."
Seeing Su He's confusion, S037 explained considerately, "The rules of a private track are that the track must be closed during practice. No other vehicles are allowed to park there. Young Master was driving very fast, and it was dark. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been smashed to pieces!"
"Do you mean that someone is deliberately harming him?" Su He asked back.
S037 pouted his non-existent lips: "This hasn't been thoroughly investigated yet, but Young Master has encountered many such things since he was a child."
Sheng Jinyu didn't come back until very late that day.
It was almost dawn and the living room was silent. He sat alone in the dark, his hand supporting his forehead, motionless, like a sculpture submerged in the darkness.
The light from Su He opening the door leaked onto his face, and the "sculpture" suddenly moved.
Sheng Jinyu was blinded by the light and looked up with a frown.
Su He saw the wariness and vigilance in his eyes, as well as the red bloodshot under his eyes, and suddenly felt that this person seemed very tired.
He then tiptoed into the kitchen, took a bowl of the warmed fish soup, quietly placed it on the coffee table, and then tiptoed back to the room.
When he got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and passed by the living room, he found an empty bowl. Su He then quietly put the bowl back into the kitchen.
There is no need for communication, and they seem to cooperate very well.
Su He was not angry even though he was treated coldly by Sheng Jinyu all day long. He had begun to get used to this comfortable life.
