Chapter 12
Of course Jiang Rong knew that there were two bedrooms in his house. After all, her house was next door, and the layout of the rooms in this row was similar. She could tell from the lights that Shen Jianye was sleeping in the master bedroom.
But a single man and a single woman sleeping in the same room...
Although the house is not small, it is really uncomfortable for Jiang Rong, who has lived alone for several years. She doesn’t know if she will do something habitually or subconsciously, and the person living with her is Shen Jianye.
The bright moon that I only dare to peek at secretly.
The most important thing is that she doesn't know if she will reveal something terrible because she is too nervous.
So Jiang Rong still wanted to refuse, but Shen Jianye was already there, opening the app on his phone, calling an errand boy, and asking Jiang Rong if she needed anything else to get from home.
The girl didn't understand what was going on, and the words she wanted to say got stuck in her throat. She subconsciously answered his question and then quickly said, "But, but, I can't stay here for free. I'll give you money!"
This time, Shen Jianye did not refuse directly. Although he knew that she definitely did not have much money in her pocket and he would not empty the girl's savings, he also knew that girls were thin-skinned, so he was a little distressed:
"Put the money aside for now. The main thing is that I will be home very late and there will be no one to cook for me. I will give you money to buy groceries when the time comes. If you are willing to cook for me, I won't ask for accommodation fees."
Jiang Rong wanted to refuse, but Shen Jianye had already stood up: “Okay, the milk won’t taste good when it’s cold.”
"By the way, your cooking should taste good, right, Xiao Jiang?"
It was clearly his question, but he didn't seem to want to know the exact answer, and said, "Then I'll go get busy."
Then he stood up and walked towards his own room.
Jiang Rong picked up the milk, her bangs hanging naturally on both sides of her cheeks, covering her red ears. The aunt in the noodle shop had clearly called her that, but it just felt different from when Shen Jianye called her that.
She drank it in small sips. The rich milk reminded her of her childhood. Although she didn't think her taste was different from that of ordinary people, she always felt that this tasted exactly the same as the milk her parents used to get when they were still normal.
I haven't tasted this flavor for a long time.
Shen Jianye entered the room, closed the door and sat on the stool, but his fingers just tapped on the screen of his mobile phone. The dark screen reflected the distress on his face that was not in line with his age. He didn't notice his expression at all, but seemed to have figured something out. After a while, he held his forehead and sighed softly.
Everything that happened next, Jiang Rong felt like a dream. The person Shen Jianye called asked her for the key. She originally felt that it was not very good: "Are you sure you can do it? Do you want me to accompany you?"
The young man patted his chest and said: "I am a professional, you can rest assured."
He did not break his promise and quickly took out everything he wanted. Jiang Rong was relieved and was thinking about going home to live and not bothering Shen Jianye. As a result, those two people came out of nowhere and rushed over and asked, "Boy, where are you from!"
"Who gave you the key?"
"We saw you coming out from next door!"
The young man was obviously prepared. He locked the door in front of them, still holding something in his hand, and said calmly: "A little girl gave it to me. She asked me to come over to get something."
The two of them turned their gaze towards Shen Jianye and Jiang Rong again: “Why are you two here?”
Jiang Rong was so nervous that she didn't know how to explain it at all. However, Shen Jianye seemed to have guessed it a long time ago and explained with a smile: "Didn't you ask us to keep an eye on it? We heard some noise next door, so of course we had to come out to check it out."
Da Zhuang snorted lightly, not sure whether he believed it or not. However, they did not dwell on Shen Jianye and Jiang Rong for too long. They glanced at the things in the young man's hand and asked directly, "Where are you sending this to?!"
After all, they looked like some daily necessities, and it was obvious that the little girl must be there at the destination.
The young man didn't hide anything and answered cheerfully, "Brothers, just outside the community, by the bridge, under the third willow tree from the left. Don't you think it's strange?"
Da Zhuang threatened without hesitation: "Don't lie to us."
"Be careful, we're looking for someone..."
Before he could finish his words, the young man laughed even more. He waved his phone unceremoniously and said, "Sorry, I carry a recording device with me to prevent customers from leaving bad reviews. But I thought you two were on good terms. If I had known that, I wouldn't have told you."
The two men looked at each other, probably thinking that it was rare to have a clue, and since the young man had said so much, the two men just left. As soon as they were far away, the young man handed Jiang Rong what she wanted, and took a bag of things wrapped in a black garbage bag from the side and set off.
Jiang Rong looked at his familiar movements, still a little unbelievable. She looked at Shen Jianye with her bag in her arms, blinked, and asked curiously: "Brother, how do you know they didn't leave?"
Shen Jianye's mouth corners rose slightly: "You didn't go home today, they must have thought you would go home today, after all, they all know your family situation, and they think you have nowhere else to go, thinking they can squat on you, but now it's not certain."
Jiang Rong's eyes were filled with gratitude and admiration. She had no better way to repay him, so she could only chase after Shen Jianye and ask, "What do you like to eat? I'll buy it and cook it for you tomorrow."
Shen Jianye leaned slightly to the side and happened to see the phone sticking out of her bag, pointing at it: "I can do anything, but in order not to reveal the truth, I usually open the coffee shop at ten in the morning and it will also be open until ten in the evening. I think we need to collude on the time and leave a mobile phone number."
Jiang Rong almost forgot about this matter. Because she was too excited, she had forgotten that Shen Jianye would take her in. It was entirely because he was involved by herself. She licked her lips, put away the excitement in her heart, and agreed with her mobile phone: "Okay."
She quickly turned on her phone and mentioned her school time: "I will be at school at 6:30. If you don't have time, you don't have to send me off."
Shen Jianye looked helpless: “Am I the kind of person who likes to sleep in in your eyes?”
Jiang Rong quickly shook her head and muttered softly, "It's, it's okay."
Shen Jianye lost his temper in an instant: “I have other things to do tomorrow morning. Several pots of flowers at home are sick, and the flower and bird market opens very early.”
Jiang Rong then noticed that there were several pots of green plants by his window. After all, she had been daydreaming since she came in and had never noticed these pots of green plants and flowers.
However, the condition of these plants does not look good, and no one knows why, but Shen Jianye does not look like a careless person. It may be that the mud underneath was not chosen correctly, or the plants are sick.
Jiang Rong retracted her gaze from the plants and smiled awkwardly: "Then I'll come to make breakfast tomorrow morning. Do you have any requirements?"
Shen Jianye shook his head: “It’s all fine, just don’t make it too greasy.”
Jiang Rong nodded quickly to show that she understood.
Shen Jianye glanced at her unopened phone and raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong with your phone?"
Jiang Rong subconsciously shrank back, clutching her phone, and tried to come up with an explanation: "I guess it's because I haven't charged it in a long time."
Now it was Shen Jianye's turn to be surprised. He didn't seem to expect that in this day and age there were still people who didn't charge their mobile phones for a long time. He pursed his lips and asked a fatal question: "Then did you bring a charger?"
As you can imagine, the answer is naturally no.
Jiang Rong remembered to take her cell phone, as she had agreed with Lin Yue, but she really couldn't play with this kind of rectangular block. She even had a hard time learning information science in school.
Shen Jianye searched in the drawer for a while before finding a data cable that Jiang Rong could use. He sighed a little: "This model of head is too old. How many years have you used this phone?"
Jiang Rong smiled awkwardly, and after thinking for a moment, she decided not to hide it. "This is a phone someone gave me, so I've never touched a phone before, and I don't really understand these things."
Shen Jianye was silent. He seemed to realize his problem. For a child whose parents were both dead and who had people coming to collect debts from time to time, a mobile phone was indeed the most insignificant thing.
He sighed, charged his phone, and then went to the room to get a phone card. He introduced it, "This is a card I used before. I'll give it to you first. Otherwise, you won't be able to contact me without a phone."
Jiang Rong licked her lips and couldn't help but say, "You don't have to be so nice to me."
However, Shen Jianye chuckled as he operated and said, “I don’t want those people to come and trouble me again after you are captured.”
Jiang Rong didn't know whether what he said was sincere, but she didn't hate it.
Shen Jianye quickly got everything done and taught Jiang Rong a simple way to use it.
At night, Jiang Rong lay on the bed, turned sideways and looked at her clothes on the strange stool. She was still a little unresponsive. Everything that happened now seemed like a dream.
If this was really a dream, she hoped she could immerse herself in it forever.
After a good night's dream, Jiang Rong woke up naturally early due to her familiar biological clock. Looking at the unfamiliar environment around her, in order to prevent herself from continuing to dream, Jiang Rong couldn't help but reach out and grab her face. She only let go when she grimaced in pain. She rubbed her cheeks with a silly smile on her face.
It hurts, which means I'm not dreaming.
But Jiang Rong kept her lips curled up, and her small dimples were particularly obvious.
After washing up, she glanced at the door of Shen Jianye's confined room, then glanced at the time, and took money from her piggy bank to buy breakfast. It was not that Shen Jianye did not give her money, but she took advantage of the fact that he did not get up and could not supervise herself, so she had to take his money to buy breakfast. Jiang Rong quickly took her own money and ran to the breakfast stall.
Compared to how she treated her QQ, Jiang Rong was so generous in treating Shen Jianye.
I bought myself two white flour buns for one yuan, and three buns with different meat fillings for Shen Jianye, and also brought a cup of soy milk.
This way of buying scared the shopkeepers who were familiar with Jiang Rong. They wanted to ask her if she didn't want to sell it, but they were also afraid of being unlucky by her, so they looked like they were about to suffocate.
Jiang Rong happily went back with the steamed buns. She originally planned to put breakfast on the table if he was still asleep and sneak away. But when she opened the door, she saw the man already dressed, watering the green plants in front of him, muttering something to himself.
It seems that he really likes those green plants.
