The streets near the university are always filled with a youthful atmosphere. The roads are lined with green trees, and the sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves onto the ground, creating patches of light.
It was noon and the weather was hot, so there were not many students coming and going at the door.
Shi Chuan stood under the scorching sun, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. The mist in his eyes grew thicker as he looked at the empty school gate. He stood there motionless, and the sunlight stung his skin even more violently.
"Heh." Shi Chuan laughed out loud, his eyes deep, his usual lazy disguise was revealed at this moment.
He should have thought of this earlier. He and Jiang Qiao didn't have any deep feelings for each other. Why would she keep waiting for him here...
"Shichuan?"
Shi Chuan turned around silently, his steps seemed a little heavy. A voice suddenly sounded behind him, calling his name clearly.
Shi Chuan was stunned and stopped in his tracks. He slowly turned around and looked in the direction of the voice, a look of surprise on his face.
Jiang Qiao thought Shi Chuan hadn't seen the message, so she kept waiting, but it was too hot outside. The security guard was kind and worried that she would get heatstroke, so he asked her to go to the security room to wait for someone.
How could she know that Shi Chuan didn't want to reply at all.
Just now, Jiang Qiao saw a slightly blurry face in his memory through the glass. He was not sure if it was Shi Chuan, so he tentatively called his name.
Shi Chuan saw that Jiang Qiao was a little at a loss, with beads of sweat falling from his forehead. He didn't know whether it was because of the heat or nervousness.
Jiang Qiao was walking towards him quickly. The sunlight shone on her body, outlining a golden outline, making her incredibly beautiful.
According to common knowledge, celebrities must wear masks when going out, but Jiang Qiao doesn't need to, because she is... out of fashion and no paparazzi are willing to take pictures of her. These days, whoever is popular is the truth.
"Long time no see. I almost didn't recognize you just now. Did you just get out of class?" Jiang Qiao quickly walked up to Shi Chuan, holding a heavy thermal box in his hand, and asked patiently, not at all dissatisfied with waiting for so long.
Shi Chuan opened his mouth slightly and took a long time to say "hmm".
Jiang Qiao was almost dying of the sun. She reached out and pulled him towards the shade, mumbling, "Studying must be exhausting for you. Your major is very demanding. Mom knows you're working hard, so she asked me to bring you food so you can catch up."
Shi Chuan looked down at his wrist that was being held. Because they were walking fast, the woman's bracelet kept rubbing against his skin, causing him to feel a little itchy.
Of course he knew that Jiang Qiao's words were just polite remarks. Perhaps she had seen through something and knew that he had an awkward position in the Jiang family, so she wanted to ease his relationship with the family.
But what's the use? These words are false, Zhong Yurong would never think of bringing him food.
"You must be starving. Here, it's hot outside. Take it back to the dormitory and eat it. I packed quite a lot for you. Share it with your roommates. I'll be leaving first. Take the lunch box with you next time you go home, or I'll bring it back when I come to see you when I'm free." Jiang Qiao finally felt a little more comfortable under the cool shade of the tree, and handed over the insulated lunch box.
Shi Chuan unconsciously pursed his lips, took the lunch box, and said after a moment's thought, "You haven't eaten yet, right? I'll take you to our cafeteria."
Things seemed to be going in the wrong direction. Wasn't he going to leave the Jiang family? Why did he accept her kindness so easily?
Jiang Qiao looked at Shi Chuan's reserved look and knew that he might not want to continue chatting and wanted to leave, but she didn't expect that Shi Chuan actually wanted to take her out for dinner.
Well, that was good, she was already hungry, and she missed the food in the cafeteria.
"Okay, take me there. I'm hungry."
This place is not far from the canteen. Fortunately, this section of the road is under the shade of trees, so it is not so sunny.
The university cafeteria was bustling with activity. As Jiang Qiao entered, she could smell the aroma of delicious food. The spacious space was filled with neatly arranged tables and chairs, and students were enjoying their meals at their seats.
Shi Chuan gave his meal card to Jiang Qiao and told her to buy whatever she wanted to eat. He went to find a place under the fan.
"Shi Chuan? You're here. Lao Yu and I thought you weren't coming. We just ordered the dishes. Come over here and see what you want to eat. We'll order something else." Shi Mo appeared out of nowhere with two cups of peach oolong tea in his hands.
Shi Chuan picked up the lunch box in his hand and said, "No thanks."
Shi Mo was surprised. "Who sent this to you? Is there anyone from home?"
Since Shi Chuan rarely talked about his family in the dormitory, the other three people in the dormitory once thought that his family was not harmonious, so they never asked about it.
"Yeah." Shi Chuan's mood inexplicably improved. At this moment, he looked like a child showing off that he had candy.
Shi Mo wanted to say something else, but when he saw the person walking towards Shi Chuan from behind, his eyes widened.
Mom, I think I'm in love~?(? ? ?ω? ? ?)?
"Shi Chuan, your school cafeteria is quite big. I almost couldn't find you."
Jiang Qiao came over with a bowl of crab roe noodles, and many pairs of eyes were fixed on her along the way.
When he heard the name the woman called out, the stars in Shi Mo's eyes disappeared instantly and were replaced by resentment.
Mom, I think I'm heartbroken~ She's my brother's girlfriend! (/ω＼)
Jiang Qiao put the noodles on the table and then noticed the person next to Shi Chuan. Thinking that this person might be his friend, he took the initiative to greet him, "Hello, I am Shi Chuan's sister."
Hearing the beautiful sister's self-introduction, Shi Mo's eyes were suddenly filled with little stars, his face flushed, and his tone of voice became awkward, "So it's my sister, my name is Shi Mo, I am... I am Shi Chuan's best brother."
After hearing this, Shi Chuan turned his head and looked at him expressionlessly, "..."
Jiang Qiao remembered her status as an elder, so she immediately entertained him. "Today I brought Shi Chuan some pork rib soup and braised pork from home. If you don't mind, you can share them. Next time, let Shi Chuan tell me what you want to eat, and I'll bring it back to you."
Shi Mo was very supportive, "Okay, thank you sister, Shi Chuan is such a blessing."
Jiang Qiao: "You haven't eaten yet? Why don't you stay and eat with us?"
Shi Mo looked shy: "No, no, what a coincidence, I just came to the cafeteria and ran into Shi Chuan, in that case, then I will stay."
"Shimo! I told you to buy water, but you already found someone else to buy it yourself!"
Yu Qiushi waited for Shi Mo to come back but he still hadn't done it, so he planned to come over to look for him. But when he heard these words, he instantly became furious!
Graphite: ...Wuhu~ˉ\_(ツ)_/ˉ
Jiang Qiao: ...Wuhu~ˉ\_(ツ)_/ˉ
Shi Chuan: It has nothing to do with me. ^_^
Yu Qiushi was also stunned when he saw Jiang Qiao. The school belle in their school didn’t look like this!
Jiang Qiao introduced himself again.
Yu Qiushi felt that the face was becoming more and more familiar, but he really couldn't remember it. He greeted him politely and walked back while twisting Shi Mo's ear.
"You don't want to pay me, right?"
"Isn't it Shichuan who's treating us? Old Yu, let go first."
…
Jiang Qiao laughed awkwardly, "Your friend is... quite humorous."
Shi Chuan also felt embarrassed and replied after a long time, "They are not usually like this..."
