Why are you suddenly saying this?
Jiang Yu was somewhat puzzled.
"It's nothing, just something that suddenly came to mind."
Xia Che smiled.
Even an outsider like herself could see the love that Jiang Yu's grandmother had for her. As the person in question, Jiang Yu should understand this profound and deep affection even better than she did.
I don't need to say anything more.
"All right……"
Jiang Yu sat in the chair, carefully observing Xia Che's expression. She didn't detect the slightest bit of contempt or disdain, which made her secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
People from poor families often become particularly sensitive in these strange places.
Fortunately, Xia Che did not disappoint her.
Jiang Yu couldn't explain where this strange feeling came from, but it really happened.
She couldn't imagine how heartbroken she would be if Xia Che showed even a hint of disdain for her family's circumstances at a time like this.
"Alright, now that you've arrived home safely, my mission is complete."
Xia Che raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Are you satisfied with my service, Miss Jiang?"
"It would be quite suitable as a mount..."
Jiang Yu glanced sideways, her cheeks flushing slightly.
"puff."
Clearly, even Xia Che hadn't expected Jiang Yu to utter such a witty remark. She was obviously a socially awkward girl, and her tone at that moment gave Xia Che the feeling of being teased…
Jiang Yu's words were a sudden whim, and now that she realized it, her cheeks, hidden in the darkness, turned even redder, and she dared not say another word.
An unspoken, ambiguous atmosphere filled the space between them. Neither of them spoke, but the silence didn't feel awkward; rather, it was somewhat enjoyable.
"Alright, then... I'll be going now."
Xia Che coughed lightly, touched his nose, and broke the silence first, then said, "I'll pick you up tomorrow morning, with the repaired wheelchair."
"Um……"
Jiang Yu nodded, blushing. "You must remember to tell me the money you need to repair the wheelchair, and I will pay you back."
"Uh...we'll talk about it later, I'm leaving."
Xia Che's eyes darted around, but he didn't give a direct answer. He waved his hand and turned to leave in a hurry.
He was not really keen on accepting Jiang Yu's money.
After all, it would be better for Jiang Yu to use this money on herself.
Although he was penniless, he could leave his wheelchair to Ning Zheyuan to repair, and Ning Zheyuan would be too embarrassed to ask him for money, right?
With such a small amount of money, and Ning Zheyuan being the underground emperor of Jiang City, why would he ask me for it?
That's so beneath me.
Xia Che dared to say it, but Ning Zheyuan didn't even dare to think about it.
"Sigh... I still didn't say it in the end."
Watching Xia Che's departing figure, Jiang Yu suddenly let out a muffled sigh for no apparent reason.
As her first friend, she had actually considered inviting Xia Che to stay for a meal...
After all, Xia Che had helped me a lot to get back.
They not only put in the effort and money, but also picked me up and dropped me off and helped me repair my wheelchair.
Jiang Yu wanted to repay him in some way, but after thinking about it carefully, she couldn't come up with anything worthwhile.
Hesitating for a moment, he couldn't even bring himself to invite Xia Che to stay for dinner.
"Let's... maybe next time."
Jiang Yu pursed her lips and kept the matter in mind.
Immediately, the old woman, who had slowly walked out of the house upon hearing the noise, spotted Jiang Yu sitting in the chair and exclaimed with delight, "Xiao Yu! You're back? Why didn't you say so? I thought you were busy today, which is why you were late... Oh, where's your wheelchair?"
"Did someone bully you again? Don't be afraid, tell Grandma, and Grandma will go and settle the score with them right now!"
An old woman with a full head of white hair, who could not even straighten her back, looked at the empty space beside Jiang Yu and did not see the familiar wheelchair. Suddenly, she realized something and her tone was full of anger.
Her granddaughter is so cute, how could those bad guys have the heart to bully her?
The old woman let out a deep breath, her anger subsided slightly, and her eyes were filled with heartache as she looked at Jiang Yu.
Before she transferred schools, Jiang Yu was bullied at school, but no one ever told her that this seemingly weak girl was actually stronger than anyone else inside.
Grandma only found out what had happened after she noticed the bruises on Jiang Yu's face and asked her about it by chance.
However, a year had passed since Jiang Yu was bullied.
A whole year.
Jiang Yu kept it a secret from her for a year, and did so very well. During this time, her grandmother had no idea that such a thing had happened.
Later, in order to avenge Jiang Yu, the grandmother went to school with her cane. However, the teacher did nothing. When the grandmother was there, the teacher would say some nice things and express his attitude that he would definitely protect Jiang Yu. But as soon as the grandmother left, the teacher would continue to play dead and pretend not to see any of the things that others did to Jiang Yu.
It was only then that Jiang Yu realized that not all teachers have professional ethics, nor can all teachers be called teachers.
After Grandma came, those bad guys quieted down for a while, but they soon resurfaced, as if their evil was innate and they would die if they didn't do evil.
Grandma is getting old, and it's not good for her to keep going to school. Jiang Yu didn't want her grandma to worry about her.
She couldn't help much; she would only feel sorry for herself, unable to eat or sleep properly.
So from that day on, Jiang Yu never told her grandmother again, and did her best to keep it a secret from her.
Later, Jiang Yu decided to transfer schools, and her grandmother was very supportive. However, she never expected that someone would bully Jiang Yu at Weiyang High School, the best key high school in the entire Jiang City.
They even lost the wheelchair?
"yeah?"
Jiang Yu blinked and stared blankly for a long time before she understood what her grandmother was talking about. She was both amused and exasperated and said, "No, Grandma, no one bullied me. It's just that my wheelchair broke by accident, so I asked my classmate to bring me back."
"But don't worry, he'll take the wheelchair to get it repaired, and it'll be fixed tomorrow."
Jiang Yu recounted the entire incident, which finally calmed her grandmother's anger. Seeing that her beloved granddaughter was alright, the grandmother still felt a lingering fear, muttering to herself, "Really... how could it suddenly break down? I just took it to Old Li to get it fixed a few days ago. That Old Li is really something, he's been running his shop for decades and he can't even fix a wheelchair. What a waste of all his skills..."
"He's not even as good as an apprentice!"
Grandma was still clearly angry. Seeing this, Jiang Yu stuck out her tongue, obviously not daring to disturb her grandmother at this time: "Xiao Yu, why do you insist on going to high school? Wouldn't it be better if we went to a school for the disabled? There are peers like you there, and everyone helps each other. Isn't that great?"
