Chapter 110
That night, Chu Shao couldn't sleep.
…
When a young boy falls in love for the first time in his life, he will not feel the ritual of love unless he loses sleep.
Wen Xiuwei's last words played over and over in his mind. Chu Shao thought about it and even he himself didn't realize how fast his brain was running. By the time he realized it, he had already imagined the scene of his child's wedding day, when the middle-aged Chu Jiujiu presented him with a real blue and white porcelain antique.
…
If he kept thinking, he would have figured out the location of the joint burial site for himself and Wen Xiuwei. No, go to sleep. He is a man and cannot be so ignorant of the world.
Although he said that, Chu Jiujiu was still shocked when he went out the next day.
"What did you do yesterday? Did you go to Sichuan to learn how to stay up late from the giant pandas?"
Chu Shao: "...Why are you talking so much? Eat quickly and then go to school."
Chu Jiujiu felt that there was something wrong with him and couldn't help but look at him suspiciously, but before she could figure out anything, Wen Xiuwei knocked on the table and said, "Why aren't you eating yet? If you don't eat, I'll take it away."
Upon hearing this, Chu Jiujiu quickly lowered her head and continued to drink the century egg and lean meat porridge in her bowl.
Weiwei’s cooking skills are getting better and better, but she always thought that century egg and lean meat porridge was troublesome and was reluctant to make it in the morning. Why did she change her mind today?
…
The answer is right in front of her, but Chu Jiujiu just turns a blind eye to it. It really makes people speechless.
After finishing his breakfast, Han Shengyi waited for them under the street light at the intersection. Seeing the two dark circles under Chu Shao's eyes, he raised his eyebrows slightly, looked Chu Shao up and down, and then looked at Wen Xiuwei who was smiling and saying goodbye to them in the distance. Han Shengyi's expression became clear.
He understood, but he said nothing.
Let the little fool continue to be kept in the dark.
There is a test today. Unlike other students, exam days are the happiest days for Chu Jiujiu because she can hand in the paper early. After handing in the paper, she can play freely.
After handing in the test paper, the teacher didn't allow her to stay in the classroom, so she ran out of the classroom quickly.
The entire grade was silent. Other grades were either taking exams or attending classes. Except for the teaching building, everywhere else was deserted. Chu Jiujiu wandered around outside for a while, but found it boring, so she turned around and went to Han Shengyi's class.
Their class was in session. Chu Shao hadn't slept the previous night, so he was leaning on his desk listlessly. Han Shengyi was sitting in the back row by the window, looking at the blackboard quite seriously.
Chu Jiujiu stood at the back door. She didn't say anything, but Han Shengyi seemed to notice someone was looking at him, and soon he shifted his gaze over.
Although she was discovered, Chu Jiujiu did not hide. She raised her hand and waved happily to Han Shengyi. Looking at her, Han Shengyi also laughed.
The next second, the teacher in front shouted angrily, "What's so funny about my lecture?! Han Shengyi, get out and stand!"
Chu Jiujiu: “…”
After Han Shengyi came out, Chu Jiujiu stood beside him dejectedly, standing with him as punishment, "I was wrong."
"What does it have to do with you? It's my problem." Han Shengyi said gently.
Chu Jiujiu sighed, raised her head, and whispered to Han Shengyi, "I thought good students wouldn't be punished by standing. In our class, even if the teacher saw me passing notes to Qi Baozhu, he wouldn't do anything about it."
Han Shengyi remained noncommittal: "Every teacher has a different teaching method. Some are very strict about teaching, while others are more relaxed and unwilling to argue with students."
Chu Jiujiu nodded in agreement. "Then let's go to the cafeteria early today. It just so happens that the teacher kicked you out. If we arrive early, the cafeteria aunt will give us more food."
Han Shengyi: "What about Chu Shao?"
Chu Jiujiu: "Don't worry about him. It's his fault that he wasn't kicked out."
Han Shengyi: “…”
Chu Jiujiu just said it casually, but when they arrived at the cafeteria, she still took the responsibility of serving meals to the two of them. When Chu Shao came over with the lunch box, he opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
Chu Jiujiu only had one lunch box, how did she get so much food?
There's no need to ask this question at all. What else can I do? I must use Chu Jiujiu's tried-and-true cute offensive~
With just a wink, whether it was to get an extra piece of meat or to lend them the lid of their lunch box, it was easy to do. The three of them sat together, and the two boys across from them devoured their food quickly. Chu Shao went to play basketball with his classmates as usual, while Han Shengyi cleaned the lunch boxes for the three of them. He and Chu Shao took turns doing this job. Chu Jiujiu didn't like to get her hands greasy, so she always took a break.
Standing by the faucet at school, Chu Jiujiu picked up a ginkgo leaf on the ground. It was autumn, and the ginkgo leaves had turned golden yellow. This leaf was very complete. Chu Jiujiu carefully placed it in the palm of her hand, then held it up to show Han Shengyi.
"Can I take this back as a bookmark?"
Nowadays, people's bookmarks are basically made of fallen leaves and flower petals. The wisdom of the people is endless. A small leaf can remain in its original state for a long time after being fiddled with by them. If used carefully, it can easily last for a year.
Han Shengyi was washing the lunch box while looking down at the ginkgo tree in her palm.
"It's too hard to handle. Just take it back like this. Don't put it between thick books. It should work."
After hearing this, Chu Jiujiu changed her mind, "Forget it, what if it gets crushed? I might as well take it back as a souvenir."
Han Shengyi's hands were still wet. He had rolled up his sleeves, revealing his thin, well-defined arms. He turned and asked Chu Jiujiu, "Is this something I found at school considered a souvenir?"
Chu Jiujiu: "Of course. When I get back, I'll write a note and put it next to this leaf. It'll say, 'A stroll on campus in the fall of 1974.'"
Han Shengyi laughed mischievously and said, "It should have been in the fall of 1974, washing lunch boxes on campus as a souvenir."
Chu Jiujiu: “…”
How come you have no artistic talent?
Chu Jiujiu was just about to criticize him when she saw a few girls walking over. They came together, each holding their own lunch boxes in their hands. Several people moving together are always more eye-catching. When Chu Jiujiu saw them, she stopped talking.
They can fight as much as they want in private, but if there are outsiders around, Chu Jiujiu will never lose face for Han Shengyi in front of them.
But the fun was gone, and Chu Jiujiu didn't want to stay here any longer. She whispered to Han Shengyi beside her, "Let's go back after we finish washing. It's cold outside and I don't want to walk around anymore."
After eating, take a stroll to digest the food in your stomach. Ever since Chu Jiujiu got sick with her stomach, Han Shengyi has been sticking to this habit. Seeing that she wanted to slack off, Han Shengyi didn't even raise his eyelids and said, "No."
Chu Jiujiu: "But it's really cold..."
Han Shengyi: "I'll give you my coat."
Chu Jiujiu: "What if you get cold?"
Han Shengyi turned his head and smiled at her gently, "It's okay, I have a righteous spirit."
Chu Jiujiu: “…”
She said this only once, and Han Shengyi took note of it. Every winter, he would tease her about this.
She shut up and stopped talking, but the girls next to her were still secretly looking at Han Shengyi.
Among these girls, most of them wanted to secretly look at the handsome guy, but there was only one who was looking at the handsome guy and Chu Jiujiu who was beside him.
Han Bantian looked at Han Shengyi. They hadn't seen each other for many years. Han Shengyi was a good-looking child when he was young. Unexpectedly, he became even more eye-catching when he grew up.
The girls around were all Han Bantian's classmates. Seeing their faint excitement, Han Bantian suddenly felt a sense of pride and complacency. After all, this was her brother. Han Shengyi had no brothers or sisters at home, so his cousin was equivalent to his biological sister.
Since the start of the school year, Han Jibin had already told Han Bantian that if she saw Han Shengyi at school, she should remember to say hello to him. Also, if she didn't see him, she shouldn't go looking for him in a big way.
Han Bantian always followed Han Jibin's instructions, even when she didn't understand the significance of his instructions. Looking at Han Shengyi's profile, Han Bantian suddenly walked towards him, holding her lunch box, which was used exclusively by government agencies. As long as she held it, everyone would know that she was from a cadre family.
Seeing her about to go over, the girl next to her quickly grabbed her and whispered for her to come back, but Han Bantian pulled out his sleeve and called out in a very familiar voice, "Big Brother!"
Hearing her shout, everyone around looked over in surprise, including Chu Jiujiu.
Han Shengyi had actually seen her a long time ago. He was not Chu Shao, and he could not remember the children of his uncles and aunts after leaving home. This was not the first time he met Han Bantian on campus, but Han Bantian had not seen him before.
Coincidentally, he had just finished washing the last lunch box, stacked the three lunch boxes together, and put them in the hands of Chu Jiujiu beside him. Han Shengyi turned around again and looked at Han Bantian who was still waiting for his response.
He smiled and asked, "Who are you?"
Han was stunned for a long time. She didn't expect Han Shengyi to say these words. After all, judging from his reaction just now, he was not surprised at all. He should remember her.
"I...I'm Bantian, your sister, Han Bantian."
Han Shengyi blinked gently, as if he remembered something, and then the smile on his face grew a little bigger.
Han Bantian thought he was going to recognize her, her eyes lit up, and then she heard Han Shengyi say: "Sorry, I don't have a sister. We'll leave first. Goodbye, classmate."
After saying that, he touched Chu Jiujiu's shoulder with the back of his hand that had been dried by the wind, motioning her to move forward. Chu Jiujiu quickly did as he said, but halfway through, she turned around and glanced behind her.
Han Bantian stood there awkwardly. Her classmates gathered around her and saw that she looked like she was about to cry. They didn't know what they were saying to her.
