Chapter 26 Familiarity
The next day
Xu Chunian did not sleep well that night. She opened her eyes dazedly and felt a soft touch in her arms.
She lowered her head and met Zhuzhu's big, twinkling eyes.
"Good morning." Xu Chunian pinched her soft face.
Today is a very special day for Zhuzhu, because this is the first time that her parents have sent her to kindergarten together since she started three months ago. The pigtails on her head were also tied by Xu Chunian, and she also picked out a goose yellow overalls skirt.
When being taken away by the teacher, Zhuzhu looked back at them.
"Go ahead, go ahead. Mom will pick you up after school." Xu Chunian waved at her.
In the car
Xu Chunian sat in the back seat and asked, "How come Zhuzhu is already in kindergarten at such a young age?"
Jiang Huaixu glanced at her through the rearview mirror and said, "Kindergarten is the safest place besides home where I am."
"For Zhuzhu," he added.
Xu Chunian pursed her lips and said nothing.
After a long while, she spoke, "I will take care of Zhuzhu from now on. If you are worried, you can find someone to follow me."
She was still silenced in response. For some reason, Xu Chunian was a little scared of Jiang Huaixu at this age. She was scared of his extremely aggressive eyes and the aura of a superior. When she was 18, she liked him, but that was just liking him.
But she couldn't help but look into his eyes. Those deep eyes were filled with emotions she couldn't understand. For some reason, her heart ached.
"Just drop me off at that intersection." Xu Chunian pointed to the road sign not far away.
Jiang Huai followed his words, "I have a meeting this afternoon. After you pick up Zhuzhu, come directly to the company. If you want to go to the dinner party in the evening, I will ask someone to prepare a dress."
"Go!" Xu Chunian replied.
After the car stopped, Xu Chunian got out.
"Thank you."
Watching the man's car disappear from sight, Xu Chunian ran to the supermarket next door, bought a helmet, and scanned a small electric scooter.
He changed his uncomfortable feeling of being with Jiang Huaixu and rode his electric scooter to follow the navigation.
Traffic light
Jiang Huaixu was wearing a Bluetooth headset and listening to his assistant's arrangements on the phone.
Suddenly, a familiar figure came into his sight. The familiar and pretty back made him dazed for a moment. He didn't come back to his senses until she disappeared around the corner.
"Didi"
Until the impatient honking of a horn from behind pulled him back.
The assistant also called out cautiously on the phone, "Boss Jiang?"
Jiang Huaixu let out a deep breath and turned the steering wheel, "Well, let's arrange it this way."
————
The navigation showed that they had arrived at the destination. Xu Chunian bought two cups of milk tea and some snacks and leaned against the door.
It wasn't until a moment later that she heard someone calling her.
"Nian Nian."
"Ali." Xu Chunian handed her the milk tea in his hand, "Here."
"Come in quickly, it's so hot today." Shen Qingli took the things in her hand.
Xu Chunian naturally held her arm and said, "This place is so winding."
"There are a lot of crews here, don't go the wrong way."
"Can you see a lot of celebrities? Hey, have you seen that guy? Is he as handsome as he is on TV?"
It was Xu Chunian’s first time here. Among the crowd were people wearing Japanese uniforms and actors from Qing Dynasty palace dramas. It was a complete hodgepodge.
"Who?" After all, there were six years between the two of them, and Shen Qingli almost forgot about it.
Xu Chunian said a name.
Shen Qingli said, "Sleeping powder, collapsed."
Xu Chunian was shocked, "What about Sheng Koutian?"
"Sleeping underage, go in."
Xu Chunian: "..."
