Chapter 37 Who is that boy?
Zhao Xinran has no relatives in Pingjiang, and it is almost impossible for her to have classmates. There is also no news that she is close to any boy.
Since this person exists and both Shao Ting'an and Zhao Xinran trust him, he must have an unusual relationship with them.
Thinking of this, Su Li thought that since it was the weekend today, maybe there would be some gains.
So she rode her bike home. Shao Ting'an was injured, so she should show some concern, otherwise it would seem like she didn't care.
When she was almost home, Su Li kindly went to the vegetable market, bought some vegetables, and also bought a medium-sized watermelon.
When I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, a young man who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old was standing at the gate looking inside.
Su Li thought it was someone's relative and didn't take it seriously, so she rode her bike home.
Mrs. Zhang saw her and forced a smile on her old face, "Teacher Su is back. Is your father feeling better?"
Su Li twitched her lips slightly, "It's still the same, no significant improvement."
"Hey, this is really hard for you, running back and forth between home and the hospital. It's been almost half a month, and I've only seen you come home twice. It's always like this, which is... not a big deal."
Su Li understood what Mrs. Zhang meant. Now everyone was becoming more and more suspicious about the affair between Shao Tingan and Zhao Xinran, but there was no concrete evidence, so they could only discuss it behind their backs.
"It's okay, Mrs. Zhang. Ting'an is very understanding of my difficulties. He never said anything and even took a lot of money. We won't have any conflicts over this."
Seeing that she had no doubts at all, Mrs. Zhang didn't know what to say. After all, she didn't have any concrete evidence, and it would be inappropriate to destroy the relationship between the couple.
Su Li carried her things home and felt that the atmosphere at home was not very good when she opened the door.
Shao Tingan sat at the desk, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan, looking unhappy.
Zhao Xinran stood not far away with his back to him.
"What's wrong? What's going on?" Su Li put down her things and walked over to Shao Ting'an with a smile. "What's wrong with you? Our Xinran is very sensible. It shouldn't be her who has offended you."
Shao Ting'an's expression brightened as he saw Su Li return. "I just don't want to trouble her. I'm not used to having her take care of me."
"She's my own sister, what's there to be uncomfortable about?" Su Li patted him, "Xinran has been taking care of you for so long, it's not the first day."
After comforting Shao Ting'an, Su Li went to comfort Zhao Xinran, "Don't argue with your brother Ting'an. He has old-fashioned ideas and always thinks there are differences between men and women, not to mention you, a grown woman."
Zhao Xinran had secretly wiped away her tears, but her eyes were still red. "I know. I'm grateful to you and Brother Ting'an, and I treat you like family. I saw him going to the bathroom, so I wanted to help him in without thinking too much, but Brother Ting'an lectured me instead."
Su Li looked at Zhao Xinran, then at Shao Tingan, and thought that they were a perfect match made in heaven, a pair of acting geeks and shameless people.
If she guessed correctly, Shao Ting'an probably wanted to keep a distance from her for the time being. Last night, Liu Hongmei saw Zhao Xinran hugging him, and when she came back, she was almost caught by herself and also injured her leg.
Shao Ting'an knows the pros and cons and will not give up his career or sacrifice his good reputation for a woman.
But now it is clearly heading in a bad direction.
However, Zhao Xinran is not as innocent as she seems, and it may not be easy for Shao Tingan to get rid of her.
Of course, he probably didn't really break up with Zhao Xinran. Judging from what happened last night, he was very greedy for Zhao Xinran's body.
"Then it's your fault, Ting'an. Xinran loves you and wants to help. She cares about you as her brother even more than Shao Tingting does. Just be content." Su Li smiled and went to the kitchen with the dishes. "I bought some fish. We're having braised fish for lunch today."
Seeing Su Li enter the kitchen, Shao Ting'an winked at Zhao Xinran, signaling her to leave quickly.
Zhao Xinran didn't dare to delay. Although they had just had a disagreement and Shao Tingan had said that he would try not to sleep with her at home, which made her very sad, the important thing now was to drive the people out of the gate.
"Teacher Su, I'll go downstairs and buy some sugar. Braised fish tastes better with white sugar."
Su Li didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "You go ahead, I'll prepare the side dishes first. I still have to rely on you for the braised fish. I can't make it taste like yours."
Come to think of it, Zhao Xinran is quite amazing. She is good at seducing men and she is also a good cook. Shao Tingan loves the food she cooks.
Before, Su Li felt that it was not good for her to do too much because others were staying at home. Now, isn’t it better for her to just take a rest?
Just move your mouth, pick it up a few times, and then you can wait to eat the ready-made food. Why not?
Su Li picked the vegetables and threw the garbage downstairs. Li Qiuju upstairs had just come back from outside and was locking her bicycle.
"Is Teacher Su at home?"
"You just got back?"
"Yes, I went to buy groceries." Li Qiuju smiled and took out vegetables from the basket. "Why is your student Xiao Zhao arguing with a young man at the door?"
Hearing her say this, Su Li was stunned. A big boy? She remembered the boy she saw at the door when she came back.
"Really? Where is it?"
Just at the intersection where they turned left after leaving the hospital, the two of them were talking about something, and Xiao Zhao looked quite fierce.
"I'll go check it out. Don't let that girl suffer any loss."
Su Li hurried out. Who was that boy? He must have a special relationship with her since he could find this place.
As soon as I arrived at the gate, I saw Zhao Xinran coming back with a bag of white sugar.
Seeing Su Li, she came up and took Su Li's arm with a smile, "Teacher Su, why did you come out?"
"I heard Li Qiuju upstairs say you were shoving and fighting with a young man. I'm worried you'll get hurt."
Su Li did not hide anything from her. Since she didn't see anything anyway, she might as well listen to what she said.
Zhao Xinran was slightly stunned, then laughed and said, "He was just a little scoundrel. I didn't argue with him for too long. I just dodged him and bought some candy."
"That's good. Next time you encounter a scoundrel, go to a crowded area. Don't try to force your way into a fight alone. What if you end up getting hurt?"
Su Li began to admire herself from the bottom of her heart. She could say such caring words to the person she hated the most and felt disgusted with the most, and so naturally.
It seems that they have pushed my potential to the point of unleashing it.
Seeing that Su Li had no doubts, Zhao Xinran nodded and smiled, "I will. Let's go back and cook."
The two walked back side by side, but Su Li kept wondering who that boy was and what he wanted from Zhao Xinran.
I have no clue and no solution for the moment!
But since this person could be found, his relationship with Zhao Xinran must be complicated. He doesn't seem like a rogue, otherwise why would he linger at the gate of the courtyard for so long, as if he was waiting for her.
Su Li ate the meal without any appetite, and the three people had different thoughts.
Just after finishing dinner, Zhao Xinran cleaned up the dishes and went to the kitchen, when she heard a knock on the door.
Su Li wondered, who would come at this time?
