Chapter 64 The Merchant's Heartbreaking Remark: You're older, but you know how to take care of people, that's good.
Half an hour later.
After they had almost finished eating, Shang Shiyan had someone serve Pei Jinwu a mango pudding.
"Less sugar, no ice, and more mango."
"?"
Jiang Jibai wiped his mouth and finally couldn't help but ask, "How do you know so much about my sister's habits?"
He, as the older brother, hasn't had a chance to understand yet.
"..."
Pei Jinwu blinked but remained silent.
"I guessed," Shang Shiyan explained without batting an eye, "Young girls all like this kind of thing."
Guess?
So accurate!
Or is it that the one he cherishes has the same taste?
"you--"
Jiang Jibai found it strange and was about to ask further when Pei Jinwu suddenly spoke up: "I'm full."
"good."
Jiang Jibai immediately looked away, offering water and a towel. "Wuwu, there's something I want to discuss with you."
"Um?"
Pei Jinwu ate mango pudding, her eyes sparkling.
I really like this flavor.
"With the college entrance exam just around the corner, your brother wants to find someone to take care of you. Firstly, to ease your aunt's burden, and secondly, so you can focus on your studies."
As Jiang Jibai spoke, he observed his sister's expression, "That person is..."
"I'll take care of Wuwu."
Shang Shiyan elegantly wiped his hands, a smile playing on his lips, his voice clear and gentle.
"Didn't you just say it was inconvenient?" Jiang Jibai asked, tilting his head.
"It's convenient now." Shang Shiyan cleared his throat, his ink-black eyes slightly raised, his voice calm and powerful, "I was just thinking, Wang Ma is old, she might be able to take care of the meals."
“But Wuwu is taking the college entrance exam, and she’ll definitely have a lot of questions she won’t know. If I take care of her, I can also tutor her.”
"..."
Jiang Jibai listened attentively and thought it made some sense.
Shang Shiyan graduated with two degrees from MIT and has an incredibly high IQ. If he could tutor Wuwu, her grades would definitely improve rapidly.
"And..." Shang Shiyan paused for a few seconds, then continued, "If I remember correctly, Wuwu is moving to the Cloud Realm, right?"
“I happen to have a house in the clouds, and I’ll be going there soon to take care of some work. Taking care of Wuwu is just a side job.”
"What a coincidence?"
Jiang Jibai stared intently at Shang Shiyan. If he didn't trust Shang Shiyan's character, he would have thought that Shang Shiyan was up to something.
"Hmm, quite a coincidence."
Shang Shiyan's gaze fell on the girl's fair and beautiful face, his eyes full of tenderness.
"Wuwu, what do you think?"
Jiang Jibai looked at Pei Jinwu and asked softly.
"..."
Pei Jinwu finished eating and leaned back in her chair to rest, lazily raising her eyebrows and eyes.
"Wang Ma can cook many different cuisines, so you can basically eat whatever you want."
Shang Shiyan poured the little girl a glass of water and said slowly, "She is especially good at making desserts, and her mango cake is absolutely amazing."
“Wuwu lives with me, so she can eat whatever she wants anytime.”
After Shang Shiyan finished speaking, he stared intently at the little girl. Seeing the light in her eyes, he knew that this string of sweet words had worked very well.
"OK."
Pei Jinwu raised her delicate eyes and agreed.
Where you stay doesn't matter.
Of course, it would be best if there was something delicious to eat.
Agreed.
Jiang Jibai was a little confused, feeling that things were progressing too smoothly.
My sister is a very easygoing person, even though she is the older brother.
He could also sense that she was somewhat guarded and not very close to him.
Is it just an illusion?
He felt that his sister's attitude towards Shang Shiyan was different from her attitude towards him.
She felt more relaxed when she was with Shang Shiyan.
strangeness.
This wasn't the first time the two had met.
"Then thank you." Jiang Jibai raised his glass to express his gratitude, still full of doubts.
"No need." Shang Shiyan took a small sip, a smile spreading across his face, his mood cheerful. "We'll all be family from now on, no need to be so formal."
A family?
Jiang Jibai held the wine glass, feeling quite unsettled, vaguely sensing that something was amiss.
But it can't be discovered for the time being.
That's all.
Shang Shiyan is old enough to take care of people, so it's good that my younger sister is in his care.
At least I can finally put my mind at ease; I don't have to worry about her being kidnapped by a bad man anymore.
——
After finishing the meal.
Jiang Jibai dealt with the MV matter, and Shang Shiyan escorted Pei Jinwu back to school.
Inside the car.
The girl nestled comfortably in the corner, her fingers deftly manipulating the phone screen.
He's really good at games.
Where is the medicine?
Shang Shiyan glanced at her scarred right hand, his thick, dark eyebrows furrowed, and a heavy atmosphere enveloped him.
It's obvious that it wasn't properly cared for or dealt with.
Side pocket.
Pei Jinwu raised her chin slightly, without even glancing at the corner of her eye.
"..."
Shang Shiyan smiled helplessly, took out the medicine, and said in a coaxing tone, "Give me your right hand first."
"oh."
Pei Jinwu obediently handed her his right hand, using his left hand to operate the page without being disturbed in the slightest.
"Even though the wound has healed, you still need to continue applying medicine." Shang Shiyan held the cotton swab very gently. "Otherwise, it will leave a scar."
"No time."
Pei Jinwu glanced at the marks on her hands but didn't pay them any mind.
She had been left in the rainforest for two months, fighting wild beasts, and her body was covered in wounds; she nearly died.
What's a little injury like this?
"No time?"
Shang Shiyan pursed his lips in displeasure. Was he too busy or did he not care?
Why doesn't this girl take care of her body?
The man sighed softly and said patiently, "I'll wipe it for you from now on."
She's just a young girl; scars aren't good for her.
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Pei Jinwu shifted her gaze from the game to the man's face.
hiss.
That face is indeed beautiful.
Looking at it every day is pleasing to the eye and can greatly improve one's mood.
More importantly.
Every time I see him, I am reminded of my grandfather.
Therefore, she did not reject it.
"Go inside, I'll pick you up tonight."
Shang Shiyan parked the car in a secluded corner so that other students wouldn't see it.
After the girl disappeared, call Principal Song to find out what happened.
In short: the grades aren't very good and need to be improved.
Shang Shiyan frowned.
Is his little girl really that stupid?
That can't be true!
——
night.
As agreed, Shang Shiyan waited early at the school gate, holding a warm sweet potato in his hand.
Not long after.
Among the sea of students, the man immediately spotted the tall and outstanding girl.
She walked in the crowd, surrounded by two girls on her left and a boy on her right.
The boy carried her bag and held her milk tea for her, and he was all smiles.
This isn't the police station; it's the guy who was flirting with her.
Shang Shiyan's eyes darkened slightly. He opened the car door, took out his phone, and texted Pei Jinwu: "[Jinwu, right intersection.]"
Pei Jinwu looked in the direction of the road sign and sure enough, she saw the man's figure in the corner.
Under the night sky.
The man's figure was elongated by the moonlight, his whole body bathed in a golden halo, his sharply defined features making him dazzlingly handsome.
Everything around seemed to dim and lifeless, and only the man's face could be seen.
"Bang bang bang—"
My heart started beating faster than usual.
Tsk.
Damn it.
With looks like that, who are you trying to seduce?!
——
good evening.
