Jiang Chen was a little surprised when he received He Qianmin's invitation.
"To your house?"
"Yes." He Qianmin's voice was a little excited: "I told them that my ranking in the final exam was improved because of your tutoring, so they all wanted to meet you and thank you in person."
Jiang Chen smiled and said, "No need. My tutoring is between you and me. There's no need to involve your uncle and aunt. Please apologize to them for me and say I have something to do."
He Qianmin was silent for a few seconds before he hummed softly.
Jiang Chen asked: "Which page of the question book I gave you before have you finished?"
"One fifth." He Qianmin's tone visibly dropped: "There are a few questions that I don't quite understand."
Jiang Chen: "Which questions?"
He Qianmin pursed his lips, stood up and walked to the desk, opened the marked pages of the test book, and read the questions.
Jiang Chen listened and said, "The solutions to these questions require the use of formulas and algorithms that are not yet taught in high school. If you are interested, you can take some time to come to me and I will teach you."
He Qianmin's voice instantly became more cheerful: "Brother, do you have time?"
Hearing his cheerful voice, Jiang Chen also raised his lips: "Some things happened during this period, but now I have some free time. If you want to find me, you can find me anytime."
"I'll go find you right now!" He Qianmin said as he turned and walked towards the door. Halfway through his walk, he returned to his desk to get his test book and pen. As he walked, he said, "Let's go to the hot pot restaurant we often go to. I just happen to be craving for hot pot."
Jiang Chen thought for a moment and said, "Let's find a coffee shop first. If you're hungry in the evening, I'll take you to eat hotpot."
"It's a deal!"
Yang Yun was talking to her aunt at home. When she saw He Qianmin running downstairs like the wind and heading for the door, she called him and asked, "Qianmin, where are you going in such a hurry?"
"I'm going out for a while and won't be home for dinner tonight." He Qianmin walked hurriedly without looking back.
He ran away before the door was even closed. Yang Yun said helplessly, "This kid." He looked up and saw He Qianyu coming out of the piano room. A smile appeared on his face, "How's your piano practice going?"
He Qianyu only saw He Qianmin's figure flash by. She stretched her head to look in the direction he left and asked curiously, "Mom, where is my brother?"
"I don't know where you went with the book." Yang Yun touched her daughter's head: "Do you want to take a rest? The water that mom prepared for you--"
He Qianyu's eyes suddenly lit up as she thought of something, and she interrupted Yang Yun: "I want to go out too! Mom, can you take me there?"
"Where are you going?"
"Follow my second brother!" He Qianyu took Yang Yun's hand and walked out the door: "He must have gone to find Brother Jiang Chen. Mom, take me with you. I want to go."
"Okay, okay." Yang Yun had no choice but to tell her aunt, "Mom will take you there."
…
He Qianmin was riding his bicycle, humming a song in a very good mood. When he was about to reach the cafe, he saw Jiang Chen waiting at the door. He stood up and waved to him with a bright smile: "Brother!"
Jiang Chen turned around and couldn't help but laugh as well, raising his hand and waving.
In an off-road vehicle on the side of the road, a big boy in the back seat leaned out the window and exclaimed, "Isn't that Jiang Chen and the second son of the He family? Do they know each other?"
"Jiang Chen?" Li Nanfeng was impressed by the name and quickly retrieved information related to the name from his mind. He turned his eyes and looked at Shi Fengyue who was sitting in the front driver's seat and teased, "You stopped the car for the patient's son again?"
"What patient?" Mo Xi turned around and said, "My nephew's patient?"
Li Nanfeng pointed at himself and raised his eyebrows: "Is he still my patient?"
Mo Xi asked again and again: "Who? What's your name? Where is he?"
Li Nanfeng raised his chin and pointed to the coffee shop outside the window: "Look, the one who just went in, Jiang Chen."
Mo Xi suddenly realized: "I was wondering why Feng Yue said he knew Jiang Chen earlier than me, so that's the case."
Li Nanfeng: "Are you familiar with him?"
"Not familiar with him." Mo Xi said, "I've only met him once. I was called by my alma mater to help with the mobilization for the senior high school entrance examination. My former math teacher, Lao Fu, asked me to talk to him."
Li Nanfeng looked at Jiang Chen and He Qianmin who walked into the coffee shop one after the other, and said thoughtfully: "This Jiang Chen is not simple."
"Why is it not simple?"
Li Nanfeng: "The second son of the He Yanfeng family is famous for his bad temper. Even our generation has heard that he has a bad relationship with his brother He Qianjian. I have never heard him call He Qianyang brother a few times. But this Jiang Chen can make him call him so willingly. Do you think he is simple or not?"
"and……"
"And what?"
Li Nanfeng raised his lips slightly, and said meaningfully: "How can someone who attracts the attention of our doctor be simple?"
Hearing this, Mo Xi had an idea and turned to look at Shi Fengyue in the front seat.
Shi Fengyue put one hand on the steering wheel, resting his chin on his hand and looking out the window thoughtfully. Noticing the gazes of the two people behind him, he half-raised his eyes, his long and thick eyelashes half-hidden his eyes, and said indifferently: "What's the matter?"
Mo Xi shrank his neck, leaned his back against the seat, and shook his head: "It's okay, it's okay."
Li Nanfeng put his hand on the back seat of Shi Fengyue, leaned forward and said with a smile: "Every time I see a child, I always look at him a few more times. Why don't we go say hello? Anyway, we haven't had lunch yet, how about going to this cafe?"
Shi Fengyue glanced at him and said, "Aren't you in a hurry to attend a meeting?"
"No hurry." Li Nanfeng said, "The products made by those small technology companies are not as good as the one you made for me before. I asked my assistant to start one. I'm hungry, so it's nice to go downstairs and have a meal. Besides, I'm super curious about how the second son of the He family got together with Jiang Chen and why he called him brother."
Mo Xi: "You are so gossipy."
Li Nanfeng was not ashamed at all: "What's wrong with gossiping? Gossiping is human nature. You don't gossip? Don't you want to know why your nephew is so concerned about a——"
Shi Fengyue opened the door: "Shut up and get out of the car."
…
Jiang Chen took a sip of coffee and continued, "This problem uses Pascal's theorem. Use the four points to form a circle and the previous collinearity to pour out the edges inside..."
Seeing Jiang Chen writing down the last step on the draft, He Qianmin relaxed his brows and looked up, saying, "I understand."
Jiang Chen picked out a few similar questions, marked them for him, and said, "After you finish these questions, you will basically have no problem with this part."
He Qianmin nodded: "Brother, I find that you seem to know everything."
Jiang Chen turned his head and saw the intimacy and admiration in his eyes. He couldn't help but chuckle and rubbed his head and said, "There are many things I don't understand. You will slowly discover them in the future."
The bright floor-to-ceiling windows let in all the light. The young men smiled at each other, the lively light dancing on the tips of their hair. Their similar profiles, one immature and the other gentle, seemed like a confirmation of their growth stages.
Yang Yun paused, her heart seemed to be gently rubbed by something, it didn't hurt or itch, but many indescribable emotions surged up, as if full and empty, making her unable to help but cover her chest.
Seeing Jiang Chen and He Qianmin, He Qianyu broke free from Yang Yun's hand and ran over impatiently.
"elder brother!"
The sudden sound startled He Qianmin, who was concentrating on writing the questions. He jumped back and looked at the person next to Jiang Chen. After seeing that it was He Qianyu, he flicked her forehead to vent his anger: "Why are you here?"
"I came to see you!" He Qianyu said, then glanced at Jiang Chen and asked shyly, "Brother Jiang Chen, do you still remember me?"
Jiang Chen smiled and said gently: "I remember your name is He Qianyu." Although he was a little surprised by He Qianyu's sudden appearance, facing such a delicate and soft girl, it was difficult to get angry no matter how surprised he was.
He Qianyu raised her head suddenly, her eyes lit up: "You still remember me!"
"Remember you're weird?" He Qianmin clicked his tongue and waved his hand like chasing chickens away, "Go, go, go, I have to go to class, don't disturb me here."
He Qianyu glared at him, then turned around and swore, "Brother Jiang Chen, can I go with you? I'll be very good and I promise I won't disturb you."
"No." He Qianmin said, "We are studying here, what are you doing here? And don't you have to practice the piano in the afternoon? Why don't you go back and practice the piano?"
He Qianyu: "I've finished practicing."
"Then go back to dance practice." He Qianmin said with disdain: "Anyway, don't disturb me while I'm studying here."
He Qianyu puffed up her cheeks: "I won't talk, I won't disturb you."
He Qianmin crossed his arms and said, "You keep talking like a little trumpet all day long. How can I trust that you won't disturb me while I'm studying? And you came out here alone, did Mom know? How did you—"
He Qianyu stepped on the instep of He Qianmin's foot, interrupting him and causing him to hiss in pain:
"He Qianyu, you are itching for trouble!"
"Bad guy!"
Seeing that the two people were about to quarrel in the coffee shop, Jiang Chen felt a little headache and a little helpless. He had no brothers or sisters when he was growing up, and he rarely had disputes with others. He lacked experience in dealing with such situations.
However, at this time, if he didn't try to stop the fight, no one else could.
Jiang Chen shouted: "Qian Min..."
He Qianmin turned around and interrupted him: "Brother, don't worry, I will drive her away immediately."
"I'll call Uncle Wang to pick you up. Just sit here for a while and then..."
When He Qianyu saw Jiang Chen sitting aside with a helpless expression, she sniffed, her eyes suddenly turned red, she squatted on the ground, buried her face in her arms and choked up.
He Qianmin's voice suddenly stopped and he froze in place.
Jiang Chen patted He Qianmin on the head: "Look at you."
"I..." He Qianmin stood up and walked to He Qianyu, at a loss: "Okay, I won't chase you away, don't cry."
Jiang Chen also came out, squatted beside He Qianyu, and said softly: "Qianyu, I'm sorry, Qian Min didn't mean anything else when he said that just now. Can I apologize to you on his behalf?"
Unexpectedly, after hearing Jiang Chen's words, He Qianyu's sobs turned into tears.
Jiang Chen's outstretched hand froze, and he and He Qianmin looked at each other in surprise.
The coffee shop was very quiet, and the noise here quickly attracted the attention of others. Seeing two boys surrounding a little girl at a loss, they all looked over curiously.
"Don't cry." He Qianmin grabbed He Qianyu's arm, helpless and at a loss: "What do you want? We will listen to you, okay? As long as you don't cry, I will do whatever you say."
He Qianyu shook off his hand, buried her head and continued sobbing.
He Qianmin asked Jiang Chen for help: "Brother, what should I do..."
Jiang Chen was helpless: "I don't know either."
"She ignored me." He Qianmin lowered his voice and whispered in Jiang Chen's ear: "Brother, why don't you coax her."
Jiang Chen hesitated. He and He Qianyu had only met once, and he had no experience in coaxing a little girl. Speaking at this time might only add fuel to the fire.
"I……"
As soon as he opened his mouth to speak, the little girl threw herself into his arms, hugged his neck softly, buried her head in his arms and sobbed softly. Jiang Chen froze and opened his hands to try not to touch the little girl, but he couldn't help but soften his heart when he heard her crying.
Jiang Chen bent his hand in the air slightly, patted the little girl's back gently, and whispered, "Don't cry."
He Qianyu buried her head even tighter, cried a few times and burped, looking extremely pitiful.
"We're not trying to chase you away." Jiang Chen tried to speak in the softest voice possible: "Qian Min was just worried that it was unsafe for you to come out alone. He didn't mean to be angry with you. Please forgive him."
He Qianyu raised her head, her red nose looked pitiful and cute. She first glanced at He Qianmin who looked guilty, then blinked her wet eyes and said, "I didn't come out alone, it was..."
"That's right. If a sister cries, you have to comfort her." A man at the table next to him interrupted with a smile, "You two must be her brothers, right? You can tell at a glance that there are three siblings. It's the eldest brother who is good at taking care of the younger sister. You better learn from him."
The lady next to him handed him a tissue: "Wipe your sister's tears."
Jiang Chen thanked her and took it. Before he gave the tissue to He Qianyu, he heard the sound of high heels tapping on the wooden floor:
"Qianyu!"
The three squatting people looked up at the same time, and Yang Yun had already walked up to them.
Yang Yun received a call from home just before she was about to come in. She felt relieved to see that her daughter had found her son, so she went out for a while. Unexpectedly, when she came back, she saw her little daughter's face was covered with tears.
Yang Yun asked He Qianmin: "What's wrong?"
He Qianmin turned away and whispered, "We had a fight, so I started crying."
Jiang Chen wiped He Qianyu's tears and said gently, "Get up."
He Qianyu rubbed her eyes a little embarrassedly, let go of Jiang Chen and stood up, pouting and saying, "Brother just bullied me, but I have forgiven him."
"You." Yang Yun breathed a sigh of relief, tapped He Qianyu's nose and said, "You are so old and still crying outside, aren't you ashamed?"
He Qianyu threw herself into Yang Yun's arms: "Mom..."
Yang Yun felt relieved, and then she looked at the young man in front of her. Seeing his clear brows and eyes, she couldn't help but feel happy and fond of him. She smiled gently, "Qian Yu has a little temper, I hope I didn't disturb you."
Jiang Chen was also looking at the woman in front of him who was most likely his biological mother. His eyes swept across her gentle smile and the two deep dimples at the corners of her mouth. He smiled and said, "She's fine. We just didn't take good care of her."
Yang Yun's smile deepened: "Are you guys here to study? Do you want me to take Qian Yu to sit on the other side? When you finish, I'll take you to dinner."
Jiang Chen smiled and declined: "No, Qian Min just asked me a few questions today, and I've almost finished."
"Mom, Brother Jiang Chen just told me to play with them."
Seeing her daughter's eager eyes, Yang Yun couldn't help laughing: "Okay, Mommy won't disturb you anymore. Mommy will go sit over there. When you're done, I'll take you to eat together."
Jiang Chen's eyelashes twitched slightly, and just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted.
"Jiang Chen!"
Mo Xi stood two meters away and waved his hand, saying with a smile: "I didn't expect to meet you here, what a coincidence."
Jiang Chen glanced at the two people behind him and nodded slightly: "Senior Mo."
"You guys should be on summer vacation too." Mo Xi said as he walked over here, "It's rare that we meet, let's sit together." As he got closer, he seemed to see He Qianmin next to Jiang Chen, and asked in surprise, "He Qianmin? You're here too?"
He Qianmin called out expressionlessly, "Brother Mo, Brother Shi, Brother Feng."
Mo Xi nodded and looked at Yang Yun and He Qianyu, "Hello, Aunt Yang."
Although Yang Yun had no impression of Mo Xi, he knew Shi Fengyue and Li Nanfeng. It was just that the three children were not of the same age as them and they rarely played together, so they did not see each other often and were not very familiar with each other.
She smiled slightly and nodded: "Hello."
Shi Fengyue nodded calmly: "Hello."
Li Nanfeng smiled: "Auntie Yang, long time no see. The last time I saw you was three years ago. I didn't expect that after three years, you are still as young as ever."
"You are such a sweet kid." Yang Yun smiled and turned to Jiang Chen and said, "Auntie won't bother you anymore. I'll pick you up for dinner later."
Li Nanfeng was very surprised. He glanced at Jiang Chen and turned to Yang Yun: "Aunt Yang, what is this?"
Yang Yun smiled and said, "This is Qian Min's friend, Jiang Chen."
"Is that so?" Li Nanfeng looked around at the four people in front of him and said with a smile, "Since he is Qian Min's friend and knows Mo Xi, he must be my friend. There are exactly six seats here. How about we sit together?"
He Qianmin said with a fake smile: "It's not very convenient. I'm here to make up for my lessons. You guys here might disturb us."
Li Nanfeng: "How can I bother you? We are all top students. You can ask any questions you want. I promise it will be faster than Jiang Chen teaching you alone. How do you think?"
He Qianmin was unmoved: "It's not that great, I just want my brother to teach me, you guys can leave if you have nothing else to do."
Yang Yun patted He Qianmin, who curled his lips, reached out to take the test book on the side, raised his chin and said, "This question takes 30 seconds, sit down after you solve it."
Li Nanfeng took it, took a look at it, and immediately threw it to Shi Fengyue.
Shi Fengyue glanced at it and gave the answer almost without thinking.
He Qianmin's expression changed slightly, and Jiang Chen also looked up in surprise.
"Can I sit down now?" Li Nanfeng said as he sat down on the sofa on the other side without any hesitation.
He Qianmin pursed his lips in surprise. Jiang Chen gently nudged him with his elbow, and he could only sit down reluctantly.
In an instant, the two sofas were filled with people.
Seeing Yang Yun helping He Qianyu tidy up her clothes and preparing to leave, Li Nanfeng asked, "Aunt Yang, won't you sit with us?"
"No." Yang Yun smiled and said, "You guys play together, I won't disturb you."
Li Nanfeng waved his hand: "Take care, Aunt Yang. See you next time."
After Yang Yun left, He Qianmin immediately said, "You are not welcome here, leave quickly."
Li Nanfeng raised his eyebrows: "He Xiaoer, I am your cousin's friend after all, don't despise me so much."
He Qianmin's face tensed, Jiang Chen pushed Reqiao in front of him, and at the same time looked at Shi Fengyue and said, "Doctor Shi, what's the name of the gentleman next to you? I didn't get to know him the last time I met him."
Li Nanfeng smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Li Nanfeng, you can follow He Xiaoer and call me Brother Feng."
Jiang Chen pursed his lips and smiled: "Hello Mr. Li, nice to meet you."
Li Nanfeng paused, looked at Shi Fengyue, and said meaningfully, "I'm glad to meet you, too."
Shi Fengyue said calmly: "How is your father recovering?"
Jiang Chen smiled and said, "I'm recovering very well. It's just that my legs hurt a little yesterday, probably because I walked too fast and my emotions fluctuated. I'm planning to go to the hospital tomorrow."
"No, this is normal during the recovery period. Just get more rest."
"I see. Thank you, Doctor Shi."
After listening to the conversation between the two, He Qianmin leaned close to Jiang Chen and asked in a low voice: "Brother, how do you know Shi Fengyue?"
"Dr. Shi is my father's primary surgeon."
He Qianmin didn't know the situation of the Jiang family, so he could only nod blankly when he heard it. However, when he looked at Shi Fengyue and the other two, the hostility in their eyes had disappeared a lot.
"By the way." Li Nanfeng said, "He Qianyang's birthday is in a few days. How come I heard that the party is held at your house?"
Feng Yue was sharp when He Qianmin was wrong, but he was not in a good mood towards Li Nanfeng. He said without any expression: "My uncle went out for a meeting, and my aunt was not at home. He felt that there was no one at home to help with the preparations, so he came to my house."
Li Nanfeng touched his chin and said, "Isn't it more fun when no one is at home? Besides, when it comes to preparing for something like this, wouldn't it be better to find a studio that specializes in helping to throw parties?"
"Who knows him?" He Qianmin asked, "Are you going too?"
"Go ahead." Li Nanfeng turned his gaze to Jiang Chen's face and said, "You should go too, right?"
Jiang Chen: "I have never met He Qianyang. It is not appropriate to attend his birthday party rashly."
"What's the big deal?" Li Nanfeng said, "You and Qian Min are good friends. Qian Yu and Auntie also know you. We also know you. We are friends after meeting each other. Besides, He Qianyang likes to be lively. He will be happier with one more person."
He Qianmin actually wanted to introduce Jiang Chen to He Qianyang, but he also cared about Jiang Chen's feelings: "My brother doesn't like too much noise."
"I remember that He Qianyang's major is psychology." Shi Fengyue raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Chen: "Aren't you interested in hypnosis? There should be a lot of students from his major on his birthday. You can go and take a look."
Jiang Chen refused calmly: "No, I'm interested in the thing itself, not hypnosis."
"What I mean is..." Shi Fengyue turned his head to look at him and said slowly: "Is it me that you are interested in?"
