Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Temptation.
Sheng Jianan ignored him, went downstairs and walked right past him. Jiang Chi followed closely, pulling two suitcases with one hand and hooked Sheng Jianan.
"I knew you were going to deny it." Jiang Chi sighed deliberately, "I was so stingy when I was a kid that I gave you all my New Year's money."
"Jiang Chi, please walk faster." Jiang's father shouted from the car.
In just a few steps, Jiang Chi had to stick to Sheng Jianan, and when he spoke, he almost put his entire face close to Sheng Jianan's. Just by watching, Jiang's father felt a little annoyed. He didn't know how Sheng Jianan had endured it all from childhood to adulthood. Did he really not find Jiang Chi annoying?
"I remember my mother returned your New Year's money to your mother at that time." Sheng Jianan said.
Jiang Chi's face immediately fell, he stared at Sheng Jianan for a while, and said angrily: "Sheng Nannan, why are you giving it to them when I gave it to you?"
Sheng Jianan didn't say anything and got into the car first. Jiang Chi packed his suitcase and sat in the back of the car. He asked his father, "Dad, I saved the New Year's money for Nan Nan when I was a child. Did you take it all away?"
"Who took your New Year's money?" said Jiang's father.
Jiang Chi just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his father continue, "As soon as you sent it over, your Aunt Sheng sent it back to us. You are so young, but you have so many things to do. Every year, you have to trouble your Aunt Sheng."
"..." Jiang Chi was so angry that he almost vomited blood. That was clearly the New Year's money he had saved up with great effort to give to his little Sheng Jianan! After all this time, we finally went to his parents' house! In other words, young Sheng Jianan at that time did not confiscated those big red envelopes at all!
Depend on! Jiang Chi felt sad when he thought about the cute Sheng Jianan when he was a child who didn’t get those big red envelopes. His cute little Sheng Jianan should definitely get the best that belongs to little Jiang Chi!
Jiang Chi stared at Jiang's father who was driving in front for two seconds, a little dissatisfied: "No, it's my New Year's money, what are you going to take?"
"Where did you get your New Year's money? We gave it out and collected it back." Father Jiang glanced at the rearview mirror. The two children were almost squeezed into one seat. Sheng Jianan was sitting upright and was almost squeezed into the corner by Jiang Chi.
"Isn't that a big seat enough for you? Look how you squeezed Nannan." Jiang's father said, "If you have the ability, then make money for Nannan yourself, don't take our money. The money is ours, but the person is yours, and all the benefits are yours."
Jiang Chi was speechless and looked at his father for a while: "It's not like I won't pay you back. Consider it a loan. I will pay you back when I make money in the future."
Jiang Chi was the most stubborn about this topic and was completely unable to communicate with normal people, so Jiang's father simply didn't bother to talk to him.
Jiang Chi was angry for a while, then he hugged Sheng Jianan and whispered in his ear, "Sheng Nannan, why don't you manage the household at all? You just gave away all our money without saying a word?"
Sheng Jianan looked at Jiang Chi and retorted with his father's words: "That can't be considered entirely your money."
Jiang Chi choked and looked at him for a while: "Can I count it as a loan? I couldn't make money to support you when I was a child."
Mr. Jiang in the front laughed when he heard this. He and Jiang Chi's mother are both smart, and there is no history of mental illness in the family. So how could they give birth to a weirdo like Jiang Chi?
Since childhood, he has firmly believed that Sheng Jianan is his. They thought it was just a child's ignorance and just let him be. As a result, he became even more stubborn when he grew up, and didn't think there was anything wrong with his ideas or logic. No one can explain it.
The key point is that Jiang Chi doesn't look like a person with mental problems. What exactly is wrong?
Father Jiang glanced at Jiang Chi in the rearview mirror and saw that Jiang Chi, who was usually dissatisfied with them after talking to them for ten sentences, was talking non-stop in Sheng Jianan's ear. What about their money? Can Sheng Jianan manage it well in the future? A bunch of random stuff.
It was annoying for him as a bystander, and Jiang's father shook his head speechlessly. Forget it, since Sheng Jianan doesn't mind, just let them be.

After school started, they began their routine life again, going to class, eating, and sleeping. Everything is no different from the past, and time passes by in such ordinary days.
Because it had been so long, Sheng Jianan could no longer remember what the novel was about. There are many people in the book that I don’t match with people in real life. I only remember that some of the people who were often around me were actually in the book. But it's normal. After all, novels are general and life is concrete.
The only paper character that left the deepest impression on Sheng Jianan was the protagonist, who he remembered for many years. This destined protagonist may deprive him of his life and snatch away the lover who does not belong to him.
So much so that his playing time seemed to be firmly welded into Sheng Jianan's heart. Every day that passes, he counts down.
He was not sure whether the novel described the exact time when the protagonist appeared, but he remembered that it was in the first semester of his and Jiang Chi's sophomore year, close to Jiang Chi's birthday.
Because the book described a sentence that left a deep impression on him. It was the best birthday gift God gave to Jiang Chi.
But that was the beginning of the little cannon fodder's nightmare.
And now Jiang Chi’s twentieth birthday is approaching.
His birthday present is also on the way and will be delivered to him one day.
Sheng Jianan felt that he was a little greedy. I knew the ending long ago and I told myself countless times to leave early to avoid seeing the protagonist get beaten. But now he wanted to stay with Jiang Chi even if it was only for one day or one hour of warmth.
Because once they separate, it may be a farewell forever for both of them.
He wanted to leave a little memory with Jiang Chi. Whatever the future holds, at least their past is real.
Sheng Jianan looked at the boy shooting basketball in the painting, let out a light breath, put away his chaotic thoughts, packed up his things, and walked out of the studio.
The phone vibrated a few times in his pocket. Sheng Jianan took it out and looked at it. He originally thought it was Jiang Chi. After all, if the other person didn't show up, the news would definitely arrive earlier.
When I clicked on it, it turned out to be senior Gu Panyu.
[Gu Panyu: Junior, our club is going out to sketch together this weekend, are you interested?]
[Gu Panyu: The scenery there is nice, we mainly want to go there to have fun and relax]
[Gu Panyu: All the students in our club know that I know you, and they insisted that I invite you to try [crying]]
Sheng Jianan could probably guess what was going on. He lowered his head and was about to type when someone suddenly jumped up from behind him. The man put his arms around his shoulders from behind and whispered in his ear, "Student Sheng Jianan, who are you talking to? I advise you to be lenient if you confess, or be strict if you resist."
Jiang Chi's face was against Sheng Jianan's, and when he lowered his head he saw the notes in his phone. His heart skipped a beat and his head was buzzing.
He was really impressed by this girl.
After all, this was the first time that Sheng Jianan secretly went out to have dinner with a girl behind his back. Moreover, last time I clearly said that I was just a senior who helped out and I even treated her to a meal, but now we are still in contact? What kind of relationship would allow you to contact a senior schoolmate you are not very familiar with?
Jiang Chi slowly loosened his grip and mentally told himself to stay calm and handle the situation calmly. Maybe something happened again and he needed Sheng Jianan's help, and he just happened to see it.
Although he comforted himself in this way, Gu Panyu's danger index inevitably jumped from the only SSS+ in Jiang Chi's heart to SSSS+.
He couldn't help but start thinking, if he had to transfer schools, which university would be suitable for him and Sheng Jianan? She had to stay as far away from Xia Da as possible, preferably as far as a million miles away. In any case, she must not let Sheng Jianan contact her again.
"You and...that senior student seem to get along well." Jiang Chi said calmly, pretending not to mind.
Sheng Jianan turned his head to look at him, was silent for a while, skipped the topic, and said: "My senior asked me if I would go sketching this weekend. I took a look and the scenery there is pretty good."
The fact that he could say this showed that Sheng Jianan really wanted to keep the appointment. But he had never agreed to a date with other girls before, and it was even more impossible for him to go on a date alone.
The pretended calmness collapsed, Jiang Chi's face was expressionless, and his breathing fluctuated slightly.
Sheng Jianan's emotions rarely escape Jiang Chi's eyes, and similarly, Jiang Chi's emotions rarely escape Sheng Jianan's eyes.
But Sheng Jianan asked after a while: "Are you going?"
Jiang Chi paused and tilted his head to look at him: "Do you want me to go?"
"If I don't want you to go, then you won't go?" Sheng Jianan asked back.
Jiang Chi's eyes were dark, and he put his arm around Sheng Jianan's waist, forcing her to stop in the aisle: "If you don't want me to go, then you can't go either."
Sheng Jianan looked at him for a moment and smiled unexpectedly: "Jiang Chi, don't you think you are too overbearing? You are restricting my freedom to make friends."
Before this, Sheng Jianan had never said such words, and never felt that he had restricted his freedom to make friends. They have been getting along like this for more than ten years.
"You can also restrict my freedom to make friends, all freedoms, that's fine." Jiang Chi said in a deep voice, "I'll listen to you."
Sheng Jianan looked at him for a long time, and the long-lost impulse gradually overcame his reason. He curled his fingers slightly and clenched his fist: "Then can you listen to me this time?"
Sheng Jianan could feel the force tightening around his waist, but Jiang Chi was consciously controlling it and didn't hurt him.
Sheng Jianan remained unmoved and continued to finish his words: "I'll go, you don't have to go, Jiang Chi."
Jiang Chi stared at him, his Adam's apple moving up and down several times, before he smiled faintly: "What's the reason?"
Sheng Jianan thought for a while and said, "I think we are too close. We should give each other some space."
Jiang Chi suppressed his fake smile, and there was no emotion in his eyes. He lowered his eyes and looked at Sheng Jianan. After a long while, he asked in a relatively calm tone, "Do you like that girl?"
Sheng Jianan thought about it and decided not to implicate other people, considering the danger factor of Jiang Chi, so he shook his head.
"Why?" Jiang Chi asked.
Sheng Jianan: "If I tell you why, will you agree?"
Jiang Chi looked at Sheng Jianan's profile, not knowing what he was thinking. After a long while, he hugged her in his arms and smiled softly, "Of course, as long as you give a reasonable reason, I will agree."
His voice was light, with a hint of smile, and he seemed easy to talk to.
Of course Sheng Jianan didn't believe him. He was silent for a while, then smiled and said, "I was just teasing you. I saw it and wanted to ask you if you wanted to go. The scenery there is nice, and I want to go there for a few days."
He still only dared to test it a little bit.
Want to leave in a dignified manner.
Jiang Chi looked at him.
Sheng Jianan glanced over and raised his hand to touch him: "Are you going?"
Jiang Chi looked at him and smiled: "Are you really teasing me?"
"Yeah." Sheng Jianan nodded, "I want to go. After seeing the photos, I quite like it there."
"Okay." Jiang Chi said. He half-closed his eyes, hugged Sheng Jianan for a while, and said, "My parents said a few days ago that they wanted to give me a house as a birthday present for my twentieth birthday. Where do you want to live? Do you have a favorite area?"
Sheng Jianan shook his head: "No."
"Then let's find some time to go and take a look and pick out a room type." Jiang Chi said with a smile, "I've already thought about it. Your studio will have transparent glass walls, so that when you paint, I can look up and see you."
After a slight pause, Jiang Chi continued, "I'll build you a studio in my office in the future. That way we can be together every day. If you're worried about not being able to concentrate, use one-way glass. You won't be disturbed, and I can see you anytime."
