Chapter 191 High School If Line: This can’t be for that girl, right?
For some reason, Xu Jialan always felt that Shen Xichuan had been somewhat strange in recent days.
She finished the last question and looked up at the time.
It's already half past five. If we don't leave now, it will be dark by the time we get back to the Liang family.
She pursed her lips and stood up to pack her schoolbag.
Seeing her actions, the boy next to her also stood up.
"Are you still going to your master's place today?"
Xu Jialan put on his schoolbag, stuffed his hands into his coat, and nodded, "Well, today is Friday."
The boy still took her to the bus stop.
Not long after, the bus arrived.
Xu Jialan said goodbye to him and got in the car.
She swiped the card and turned back.
I just happened to see the boy's back as he hurried away.
Her eyebrows frowned involuntarily.
…
In the evening, at the Liang family's house.
Mrs. Liang picked up some of Xu Jialan's favorite dishes and asked, "Lanlan, how many days do you have off for New Year's Day?"
Xu Jialan replied, "Three days."
Mrs. Liang nodded. "Then you can have a good rest at home. You've only been in high school for a few months, and I see you've lost a lot of weight. During the holidays, I'll make you some delicious food to nourish your body."
Elder Liang spoke subconsciously, "During the New Year's Day, Lanlan wants to go to the association with me. The experiment she did before didn't pass, so she has to do it again."
Hearing this, before Xu Jialan could say anything, Madam Liang retorted, "Lanlan is only in the first year of high school, and you're asking her to do an experiment? Are you in such a hurry? Can't you just let her take advantage of the holiday to rest at home?"
Mr. Liang was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.
He opened his mouth, but in the end nothing came out.
Xu Jialan pursed his lips and smiled, saying, "Master's Wife, I don't need to rest for so long."
"Anyway, going to the lab is pretty fun. I don't feel tired at all. Master didn't give me any heavy tasks. I was just curious, so I asked more questions."
Hearing this, Madam Liang's brows softened a bit, but she still couldn't help but glared at Mr. Liang, "If I find out that you secretly assigned Lan Lan some tasks that you shouldn't have, just wait and see."
Mr. Liang: “…”
Xu Jialan held back his laughter.
After dinner, Mrs. Liang didn't allow her to help clean up and sent her back to her room to play.
Xu Jialan turned on the light, pulled out the chair in front of the desk and sat down.
I've been so busy lately that I didn't realize that New Year's Day is coming so soon.
Her eyes fell on the calendar on the desk.
Next week...and Christmas Eve and Christmas Day?
She suddenly remembered that when she was in junior high school, her classmates would always give peace apples to their good friends on Christmas Eve, which meant peace and safety in the new year.
Thinking of this, Xu Jialan supported his face with one hand.
He looked a little absent-minded, not knowing what he was thinking.
…
at the same time.
In the Shen family villa.
Mrs. Shen had just returned from her beauty treatment. She took the milk handed to her by the housekeeper, drank it, and glanced around.
"Isn't Xiaochuan at home?"
The butler replied respectfully, "The second young master is in the room upstairs."
Mrs. Shen frowned, "He has never come down?"
"Yes, in the past two days, the Second Young Master has been in his room except for going downstairs for dinner time."
Hearing this, Mrs. Shen looked up at the empty staircase, drank a sip of milk, and handed the cup to the housekeeper.
"I see. I'll go check it out."
After saying that, she went upstairs.
In the room.
Shen Xichuan was lying on the bed with an open book beside him.
He frowned, holding a crochet needle in his hand, crocheting the wool clumsily, and his eyes occasionally glanced at the book next to him.
While crocheting, he muttered, "Is this step wrong? Why does it feel a little different in size?"
He was so engrossed that he didn't even notice the door of the room was opened.
Madam Shen was standing not far away, and when she saw this scene, there was obvious surprise in her eyes.
Who would have thought that Shen Xichuan, who had been pampered since childhood, would one day do such a thing?
Mrs. Shen couldn’t help laughing out loud.
Before that, she had already taken out her cell phone and pressed the shutter.
Shen Xichuan was frightened by the sudden sound.
"Fuck."
He suddenly hooked the wrong line, and when his hand loosened, everything fell apart.
Looking at this glove in my hand... which is visible but so ugly that its shape is unrecognizable, I feel confused.
Mrs. Shen was also stunned for a few seconds.
"So what...did I disturb you?"
Shen Xichuan looked at his mother speechlessly, "Mom, next time before you come to see me, can't you knock on the door and tell me? Don't always appear out of nowhere like this."
Madam Shen clicked her tongue and said, "I heard that you have been hiding in your room for the past two days and didn't go out. I came to see if you are still alive?"
She leaned over to take a look, her eyes full of disgust, "You haven't gone out for the past two days, just tinkering with this thing at home?"
Shen Xichuan quickly grabbed her hand, “Hey, don’t move, I won’t be able to find the thread later.”
Mrs. Shen: “…”
She crossed her arms and looked at her son. "You made this thing, aren't you thinking of giving it to that girl?"
Shen Xichuan's ears turned slightly red, and he said stubbornly, "Of course not, I'm just knitting for fun."
Mrs. Shen snorted, "Come on, you're just knitting for fun. If you change the color next time, I might believe you again."
Shen Xichuan looked at the ball of pink wool and fell into silence.
Madam Shen raised her beautiful eyebrows and said, "How is it? Don't you know how to continue knitting?"
Hearing this, Shen Xichuan looked up suddenly, “Mom, can you?”
Mrs. Shen lifted her hair gracefully, “That’s not nonsense, what can’t I do as your mother?”
"mom."
Shen Xichuan's tone suddenly improved a lot.
"Hurry up and save me, how can I continue here?"
Mrs. Shen raised her eyebrows and glanced at it, then reached out to take it. She skillfully took the crochet needle and hooked a thread in one go and continued knitting.
After she hooked it a few times, she suddenly stopped.
"But shouldn't you tell your mother honestly who these gloves are for?"
Shen Xichuan: “…”
"You... haven't you already guessed it?"
"Oh, I can't believe it, is Mr. Shen serious?"
A hint of surprise flashed across Madam Shen’s eyes.
She already knew what kind of person appeared next to Shen Xichuan.
I just never took it to heart.
She originally thought that Shen Xichuan was just in a whim.
After all, this is normal. Who hasn’t liked someone in their youth?
Shen Xichuan was silent for a few seconds, “When have I never been serious?”
Mrs. Shen smiled and said, "Who knows? But, do you think it's appropriate at this time?"
"I've already said that before I retire, I won't express anything to her."
Shen Xichuan paused before speaking in a low voice.
Hearing this, Mrs. Shen stopped what she was doing.
She looked at Shen Xichuan, “Are you really determined to go to the fire department?”
Hearing this, Shen Xichuan nodded and said seriously, “Yes, I have made up my mind and it will not change.”
Madam Shen narrowed her eyes.
After a few seconds, she spoke casually, "What about her? Would the girl you like be willing to be with a firefighter who can't always be with her?"
