Chapter 188 High School If Line: They are like light
Hearing Xu Jialan's answer, Shen Xichuan's mouth curled up into a beautiful arc.
"What a coincidence?"
Xu Jialan was stunned.
The boy curled his lips, "Me too."
Xu Jialan looked at him in a daze.
"When firefighters save lives, aren't they just letting those in dire straits see the light?"
His voice was low.
Xu Jialan smiled faintly, "Yes, they are like light."
The same to you.
She said these three words silently in her heart.
A hint of smile appeared in Shen Xichuan’s deep eyes, “So, do you think I can be a firefighter?”
Xu Jialan thought about it seriously and slowed down his pace.
"Being a firefighter isn't something that just anyone can do. It requires not only physical fitness, but also, very importantly... a person's faith and sense of responsibility."
Shen Xichuan listened quietly.
Xu Jialan glanced at him sideways and said, "From what you said just now, I can already sense your passion and responsibility for this profession."
"So, I believe that if you become a firefighter, you will definitely be a good firefighter."
"I never thought that this is how I look in your eyes, my deskmate."
There was a hint of smile in Shen Xichuan’s voice.
Xu Jialan licked his lips and didn't look at him again, his ears feeling slightly hot.
"I'm just stating the facts."
Shen Xichuan chuckled.
Xu Jialan suddenly stopped, turned sideways and looked at him seriously.
“Shen Xichuan.”
The boy paused and looked up at her.
"how?"
"If you want to be a firefighter, you have to be healthy at all times," she said.
The girl's voice was very clear.
There is a certain obvious and unignorable seriousness in the coldness.
Shen Xichuan’s eyes paused, and his Adam’s apple moved.
He saw the seriousness in the girl's eyes, as if nothing was more important than his health.
"Okay, I will."
Only then did Xu Jialan's mouth corners curl up.
…
After going downstairs.
"My little deskmate."
Shen Xichuan suddenly called her.
Xu Jialan paused and turned to look at him.
The boy was carrying a schoolbag on one shoulder with his hands in his pockets, looking nonchalant.
The voice came with the wind.
"Are you free tomorrow?"
Xu Jialan was startled, "Yes, what's wrong?"
"Go somewhere with me."
She asked subconsciously, "Go to the fire station?"
Shen Xichuan smiled, "My little deskmate is so smart, he guessed it without me even saying anything."
Xu Jialan: “…”
"How about it? Can you go with me?"
Shen Xichuan’s eyes fell on her, waiting for her answer.
Xu Jialan also looked at him.
The two looked at each other in silence for a long time.
For some reason, looking at those eyes, Xu Jialan couldn't say no.
She pursed her lips slightly, nodded, and said softly, "Okay."
Shen Xichuan smiled and said, “Then I’ll pick you up then.”
"good."
"Go back quickly."
…
The first day of vacation.
Xu Jialan received the message sent by Mrs. Liang.
Are you asking her when she will be back?
She was originally going to the Liang family today.
Mr. Liang had said before that if she had time during the holidays, she could learn some knowledge about drug research from him.
But now…
Xu Jialan pursed his lips slightly and typed, "Teacher's wife, I have an appointment with my classmates to attend an open day for an event, so I may not be able to go back until the day after tomorrow."
Mrs. Liang was originally worried about Xu Jialan's life at school.
Now I see that she has made some good friends, and I feel relieved.
Naturally, she would not object and even gave some instructions.
Xu Jialan also breathed a sigh of relief and agreed to all the requests.
She put down her phone, looked at the homework on the desk, paused, picked up a pen, opened the homework book, and started writing.
There isn't much homework in the first year of high school.
But it’s definitely a lot.
Xu Jialan spent the entire afternoon and evening to finish writing it.
She put down the pen in her hand, looked at the completed homework, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Very good.
…
The next day.
Shen Xichuan had been waiting downstairs at Xu Jialan's building long ago.
He was also holding a bag in his hand.
Inside are buns and soy milk packed in an insulated box.
Xu Jialan put on a simple pair of jeans and a chiffon shirt and went downstairs.
The boy looked up and saw her coming out.
His eyes darkened.
Xu Jialan walked to his side and stopped, "Good morning."
Shen Xichuan lowered his eyes to look at her for a few seconds, then withdrew his gaze somewhat unnaturally and handed over the bag in his hand.
"for you."
Xu Jialan was stunned and took it, "What is this?"
Shen Xichuan looked at her and said, “If you accompany me to the open day, this will be considered as my bribe to you.”
Xu Jialan opened the lunch box and saw the dumplings inside.
Small and chubby.
"Xiaolongbao?"
The boy hummed lazily, "This tastes pretty good, try it."
Xu Jialan glanced at him, reached out, took one out, and took a small bite.
The skin of the xiaolongbao is soft and fluffy, with a hint of milk aroma.
Not to mention the meat filling.
One bite, it is full of juice and very fragrant.
Xu Jialan's eyes widened slightly, obviously surprised by the taste of the dumplings.
Shen Xichuan found her reaction a little funny, “Is it delicious?”
Xu Jialan nodded, "It's delicious."
"Well, it's all yours."
He knew she would like it.
…
After the two walked out of the community, they took the bus to their destination.
This is also the first time Shen Xichuan has come to this place.
The expression on his face became less casual and more serious.
Xu Jialan glanced at him, curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and followed him.
Shen Xichuan should have done a lot of homework on firefighting before.
When Xu Jialan saw him walking over to talk to the firefighters, he could hear a lot of professional terms from his mouth.
He even has a good understanding of some firefighting knowledge.
Xu Jialan stood quietly aside.
Looking at him, he was glowing all over.
Yes, Shen Xichuan was shining as he talked about his passion.
The firefighters were also surprised.
Obviously, he didn’t expect Shen Xichuan to know so much.
"Classmate, have you ever thought about becoming a firefighter after graduation? You're a promising candidate."
Shen Xichuan smiled modestly, “I have this plan.”
"Very good, very good. I've been waiting for you." The firefighter put his arm around his shoulder and said, "If you have any questions about this, feel free to ask. You're welcome."
Shen Xichuan was really not polite.
He had prepared a lot of questions.
After all, the answers to the problems in the data books and those encountered in actual combat are naturally different.
When he left, Shen Xichuan still had a look of unsatisfied emotion on his face.
Xu Jialan couldn't help but laugh.
He's really cute like this.
"What are you laughing at?"
Shen Xichuan came back to his senses and looked at her with slightly narrowed eyes.
Xu Jialan pursed his lips and suppressed a smile, "I just realized that you are... glowing."
She also raised her hand, clenched her fist, and then opened her five fingers in a gesture.
Shen Xichuan’s expression paused.
He saw a wanton smile on the girl's face.
She was completely different from how she looked when he first met her more than a month ago.
His heart moved slightly.
