Chapter 41 Don't Move
At 6:30 in Jiangcheng, the morning rush hour had not yet arrived and the overpass was unobstructed.
Almost everyone in the car was asleep. It was so quiet that only the sound of the air conditioner could be heard. Xu Jiqing was holding a notebook issued by No. 1 Middle School in his hand. It had a soft red cover, and the pages reflected a little light from outside the window, casting a clear shadow on the boy's profile.
Su Xia leaned back in her chair with headphones on and glanced casually at his hand.
Or it could be a stunning geometric diagram that randomly piled up all the shapes she knew.
Or they are so densely packed that they are comparable to the proof solutions in a short essay.
His handwriting is still not very beautiful, but it is more natural than before.
In Teacher Ding's words, Xu Jiqing is the most hardworking genius.
He was not just putting on a show by holding up the book and reciting words even when doing exercises. He really seized every minute and every second to study.
When a person is so focused, even the wind blowing around him seems to slow down. It doesn't matter whether he is in a noisy night market or a swaying bus.
The year of this set of national competition questions is written in the brackets on the first line of the question.
Su Xia had no ambition to understand this kind of thing, so she turned on a soothing love song and slumped back into her chair.
Big data had not yet developed that year, and mobile phones were not very fun. They got boring after just a few swipes.
After getting on the highway, the scenery outside the window quickly changed from the city to green mountains. Su Xia simply locked her phone. Apart from the female singer's voice, the only sound in her ears was Xu Jiqing flipping through his notes, page by page, very regularly.
Human memory is a magical thing. People and events are quickly forgotten, but hearing, which is more of a sensory thing, can take root in the subconscious and accompany people silently throughout their lives.
It seemed like the same scene happened after Xu Jiqing and her got their marriage certificate in their previous life.
The difference was that at that time she was riding in Xu Jiqing's Rolls-Royce Phantom.
Under the luxurious starry sky roof, the man was half a meter away from her. His pure black suit was meticulously tailored, his legs crossed, his handsome face was as cold as when he was young, but he was better at hiding his emotions, his light brown eyes were as quiet as a deep pool.
He was wearing snug-fitting custom-made gloves, and on his knees were the sorted and bound documents on the transfer of marital property. He flipped through a few pages after the lawyer in the front seat gave a few words of introduction.
The voice was just like now, page by page, clear and calm.
The only one who was not calm was Su Xia at that time.
It was clearly written in black and white: the debts left by Su Xiaojuan's company had been wiped out overnight. And half of the staggering wealth, power, fame, and fortune Xu Jiqing had accumulated over the years was now in her name.
Even at the end of this document, there were more than ten pages of details of all the properties under Xu Jiqing's name, conveying the most absurd meaning in the most rigorous legal tone -
"If I die, these are all yours."
To this day, Su Xia still doesn't understand why someone would make a will on their wedding day. Is it because they are too confident in his longevity, or too confident in the dark side of human nature, and not afraid that she would be obsessed with money and do something bad.
At that time, she was just stunned for a moment, then turned to her indifferent new husband and asked, "What about my aunt and sister?"
Auntie refers to Lin Yuezhen.
During the years she was married to Xu Jiqing, she never suffered any hardship from the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Even the changing of the tea ceremony at the wedding was done away with because they were afraid that she would be sad when thinking of Su Xiaojuan.
Su Xia didn't need to please or bow down to Lin Yuezhen, and she never called her mom. She always called her "Auntie" politely.
"The nursing home where my mother lives has been purchased."
Xu Jiqing paused, "Jiaojiao is still studying, and I left her a trust fund. Her future children will also have a share."
She looked so serious that he could hardly explain further, "They don't have any use for the jewelry, yachts, and horse farms you like."
Just this one sentence choked back Su Xia's next words.
In her previous life, Su Xia was spoiled by Su Xiaojuan. She had everything she wanted. However, the Su family was still in the traditional industry after all, so they didn't make money that quickly. Most of the time, they just had what they wanted, not necessarily a lot of money.
Su Xia went to a drinking buddy's birthday party and took a yacht ride. She liked the feeling of feeling the breeze on the deck, and then went home to act coquettishly with Su Xiaojuan. In the blink of an eye, she received a similar gift on her birthday.
On a whim, he took two equestrian lessons and became a little addicted to it. In the stable, he held the new white horse by the neck and refused to let go. Su Xiaojuan sighed repeatedly when she saw this and later adopted the pony.
Later, the company went bankrupt and almost all of its assets were seized, and these expensive toys were used to pay off debts.
This is probably what it means.
The yacht later became a rental attraction for a party company. As long as they spent a few thousand dollars, anyone could propose on Su Xia's yacht, celebrate New Year's Eve, or organize a dance party.
The little white horse disappeared later. According to the staff who took care of it, it seemed to have been shipped back to its hometown in Europe and there was no news of it since.
Although Su Xia was sad, she accepted her fate after crying a few times. A phoenix in distress is no better than a chicken. The princess had her house confiscated and could only grit her teeth and continue to live.
She really didn't expect that Xu Jiqing could buy all these things.
The lonely little yacht was renovated, and her name and birthday were embossed in gold, like the cello case Su Xiaojuan gave her, shining brightly on the bow, and docked at the best private dock in Pujiang Bay.
The pony had been bred and was a little thin.
Later, a mini white horse was born in Su Xia's new horse farm. The horse looked exactly like its mother, with snow-white mane and big, gentle and intelligent eyes. As soon as it saw Su Xia, it would stick to her hand.
All of these were listed in the dozen pages of asset lists that Xu Jiqing flipped through.
Turn the pages slowly, page by page.
It took more than three hours to drive from Jiangcheng to the mountainous area. Su Xia didn't know whether she was asleep or not. Her consciousness was drifting. The sound of Xu Jiqing flipping through the notes became slower and slower, as if he was about to finish flipping through the notes.
Memories were all mixed up, and Su Xia couldn't tell where she was for a moment, and her heart was beating faster and faster.
She always felt that the pile of papers Xu Jiqing had written contained all his wealth in his previous life and all his future in this life. The moment he finished reading them, he would be gone.
The bus drove into the scenic area, and when turning, the wheels got stuck in a mud pit, causing it to shake violently.
Su Xia woke up suddenly, afraid that he would really disappear from then on, so she subconsciously hugged Xu Jiqing's arm tightly and even put her cheek against him.
It was freezing cold in the car.
The summer school uniform was so thin, and she was close to him, feeling soft and warm, and the feeling of skin touching flesh was very obvious. Xu Jiqing's whole body froze, and she didn't dare to move even if she wanted to break free.
"What's wrong?"
His tone was cold and mute.
Su Xiaren was still dizzy, his hands still clenched tightly, "...The car is too shaking, I'm afraid I'll fly out."
Xu Jiqing almost sighed.
"let go."
Su Xia said "Oh" and took her hand away in a daze.
As the car approached the parking lot, it slowed down. Teacher Ding picked up the microphone and called all the sleepy students in the car to wake up. Seeing the boys and girls around her stretching and waking up one after another, she realized what a stupid thing she had just done.
The shivering sensation spread from my cheeks to my ears, and it felt hot.
She pretended to be nothing and pulled open a corner of the curtain, wanting to turn around and say something to save face, but Xu Jiqing's tall upper body suddenly lowered, hooked his fingers out of the seat belt on her waist and pulled it, quickly buckled it on the other side, tightened it carefully, and there was a click.
"Untie it after the car stops, and don't move around."
