The next day.
An Ci got up late as usual, and had just come downstairs when Shen Mo came over.
"Morning." Her voice was sleepy.
Shen Mo walked up to her, looked at her crooked hat brim, and reached out to help her adjust it, "Haven't you had breakfast yet?"
An Ci hummed, "I overslept."
When she raised her eyebrows and saw the school uniform on him, her eyes lit up, and suddenly she couldn't remember the last time she saw him wearing a school uniform.
He wore the same old white shirt and black trousers, which made him look tall and slender. The top button was unbuttoned, and as he raised his hand, a hint of white could be vaguely seen.
Suddenly, the boy flicked her forehead with his finger, "What are you looking at?"
An Ci curled the corners of his lips, "You look so handsome."
"Baby, it's too late. Take it and eat in the car." An Lan came out of the kitchen and stuffed the packed breakfast into her hands.
An Ci said "Oh", and Shen Mo held it for her as usual.
An Ci slowly realized that he hadn't brought anything with him, and asked as they walked, "You're not bringing anything to school?"
Shen Mo said calmly, "Just get a diploma and go."
Hearing this, An Ci felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said. The next second, she suddenly thought of something and asked, "Isn't there a cultural performance today? You are an outstanding graduate, aren't you going to perform?"
Song Yuan was also admitted like him. She remembered that Song Yuan had a performance.
Song Xi caught up and overheard their conversation, then took over and said, "The teacher asked him to participate, but he refused."
An Ci was not surprised when he heard this. With his personality, there was no way he would agree to it.
"And he also refused the opportunity to give a speech as an outstanding graduate." Song Xi continued to reveal the information.
They were all from the same school, and Shen Mo was a prominent figure in the school. Any news related to him would cause a stir in the school, and it would be hard for her not to know about it as it was passed around.
An Ci looked up, and saw the boy's well-defined profile. She asked curiously, "Why did you reject them all?"
Shen Mo, "Trouble."
An Ci finally saw what Versailles meant.
There are many people who would fight for such an opportunity, but when it comes to him, it only brings trouble. If others hear this, he will probably attract a lot of hatred.
She couldn't help but laugh.
The three of them got in the car, and Shen Mo sat next to An Ci as usual. He opened the paper bag, took out a box of milk and handed it to her, inserting the straw.
After nine years, some habits have been ingrained in their bones.
One gives subconsciously, and the other takes it habitually.
An Ci bit the straw and tilted her head to glance at him, "Have you eaten yet?"
Shen Mo nodded, took the sandwich out of the paper bag and handed it to her.
An Ci took it, lowered his head and took a bite, "How is Uncle Che?"
Shen Mo said, "Much better."
Because he received a phone call, Song Xiunian was the last one to get in the car. He sat in the driver's seat, glanced at An Ci and the others through the rearview mirror, and confirmed that they had fastened their seat belts before starting the car and driving away.
…
Today is the school anniversary of Nanyi High School, and students can be seen gathering together everywhere, talking and laughing.
As soon as Song Xi got off the car, he was pulled away by his classmates, saying they were going to rehearse.
Whether in her previous life or this life, An Ci had never tried to attend classes in school. Looking at the lively scene around her, a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes.
"Where's my cousin? Didn't he say he would come to see us?" She looked at Shen Mo.
Before she finished speaking, someone suddenly patted her shoulder from behind.
"Well, you only told Shen Mo when you came back, and didn't tell me. That's really not nice of you."
The boy's cheerful voice was mixed with a hint of resentment.
Without looking back, An Ci guessed who the person was.
She turned to look at the boy who patted her shoulder, curled her lips and smiled, "Who said that? I didn't tell anyone I came back. If you don't believe me, ask him."
Song Yuan rolled his eyes at her and said, "He's always on your side. It's useless for me to ask."
This sounded strangely familiar; Eric seemed to have said something similar.
An Ci smiled and changed the subject, "Congratulations, cousin, you're an outstanding graduate."
"Where's the gift?" Song Yuan stretched out his hand and asked bluntly.
An Ci asked, "Would you like to have some roujiamo?"
Song Yuan looked at her with a look that said, "Are you talking like a human being?" and said unhappily, "You're sending me away with just a meal of roujiamo?"
He turned his eyes and looked at Shen Mo, "What did she give you?"
Shen Mo said submissively, "I treated her to roujiamo."
Song Yuan, “…”
So, he still made money?
Is this what you mean?
An Ci couldn't help laughing. Song Yuan glanced at the two of them speechlessly, then got down to business.
"Shen Mo, the teacher is urging us to get our diplomas first."
An Ci took the coat back from Shen Mo and put it on casually, "You guys go first, I'll walk around here for a while."
Shen Mo looked at her and reminded her worriedly, "Don't run around. I'll come find you after I get my diploma."
Even though her parents were there, he still worried about her out of habit.
An Ci nodded, "Go quickly."
Shen Mo followed Song Yuan away. Song Xiunian and An Lan parked the car and came over. Seeing her alone, they couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"Zizi, where's Xiao Mo?"
"He went to get his diploma with his cousin." As he spoke, An Ci noticed that many students around him were holding bouquets of flowers.
When two girls passed by her, she accidentally overheard their conversation.
"I heard that Shen Mo is leaving after getting his diploma and he won't even attend the art performance."
"What do you mean by 'heard'? It's confirmed. Now the whole school knows that he even refused to give a speech. Cherish these last few minutes to see the schoolboy named Shen."
The girl sighed, looking like she was about to turn emo at any moment.
"Let's go quickly. There must be a lot of girls asking the school hunk for school uniform buttons today. Let's go and take a look."
An Ci looked at the two girls' backs as they hurried away, his eyebrows raised slightly.
Want school uniform buttons?
"Baby, what are you doing standing there?" An Lan touched her elbow and said, "Let's go."
An Ci came back to his senses, "Mom, you go shopping with my dad, I'll buy some flowers."
After saying that, she didn't give An Lan a chance to speak and ran away.
"Baby..." An Lan looked at the person who disappeared in an instant with a helpless look on her face.
Song Xiunian put his arm around her shoulders and said with a smile, "Don't worry about her. It's a rare opportunity for her to come to school. Let her have fun. We'll go shopping."
An Lan was still worried, "But..."
"Don't worry, she has her cell phone with her and she is at school, don't worry." Song Xiunian comforted her.
"Let's go and take a look over there."
An Lan glanced at the direction An Ci left, then turned and followed him.
There was a flower shop across the street from Nanyi School. An Ci walked into the shop and saw that most of the people inside were students wearing Nanyi school uniforms buying flowers.
It was An Ci's first time buying flowers and she had no experience. She looked at the flowers other people bought and asked the clerk to bring her three bouquets in the same way.
