Chapter 19
Jiang Rong was really confused, but she didn't really want an answer, but she just wanted to know the reason.
In a corner unknown to Shen Jianye, she had received his kindness before, not to mention that until now, he had been so good to her that this kindness even made Jiang Rong feel a little strange.
Regardless of the purpose, Jiang Rong felt that she could accept it.
Shen Jianye stared at Jiang Rong’s flawless face for a while before looking away and chuckled, “But, you were the one who knocked on my door first.”
Jiang Rong's face gradually turned red, and her lips trembled as she could only utter one sentence: "But, but..."
Shen Jianye did not continue to be evasive, but looked at the painting on the wall and smiled slightly: "I also had a sister before, but... you think I want to make up for my former sister, and I didn't lie to you about the pressure from my family and the financial support."
Looking at his affectionate expression, Jiang Rong always felt that something was a little strange. But before Jiang Rong could find out what the problem was, he quickly withdrew his gaze and took the initiative to speak: "Then, if you are worried, you have to fulfill one request of mine in the future."
"No matter how difficult or unreasonable the request may be."
It sounded scary, but Jiang Rong finally felt a sense of reality. She quickly raised her head and looked directly at the man, leaning forward slightly and holding up two fingers: "Two requests!"
After all, Shen Jianye said that he would pay for his studies and even cover all his future expenses.
Jiang Rong also didn't expect that she just knocked on the door of the neighbor's house, but she knocked on Shen Jianye's door, and he suddenly wanted to support her.
Regardless of the purpose, at least he just wants to study hard now.
Jiang Rong was so overwhelmed by the overwhelming good news that she almost lost her mind. She couldn't help but increase the stakes and repeated, "Brother, I can make two requests."
Shen Jianye lowered his eyes and looked at Jiang Rong's hands that were unconsciously clutching the corner of her clothes. She had no idea that she was just acting like a spoiled child. It was also the first time he had met such a "clean" person, and someone was chasing after her to increase the stakes.
He suppressed the smile on his face and sighed helplessly: "Okay."
"Then I will now exercise the first requirement: you must be admitted to a 211 university."
Jiang Rong, who was originally in high spirits, fell silent. She sat obediently on the sofa, lowered her head and stopped talking. Shen Jianye raised his eyebrows slightly, as if realizing something, but couldn't help but teasing: "What's wrong, is it difficult?"
"But we agreed on the request just now. No matter how unreasonable or difficult it is to complete, you still said you could ask for two?"
Jiang Rong didn’t dare to speak, but just lowered her head and pursed her lower lip anxiously, so she didn’t see the smile that flashed in Shen Jianye’s eyes when he looked at her distressed appearance.
Seeing that Jiang Rong was hesitant to speak, for a moment his eyes seemed to be more and more certain of something, Shen Jianye raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and no longer changed his request, but deliberately cared: "What's wrong, do you find it difficult?"
"How about this..."
He changed the subject, and Jiang Rong quietly raised her eyes to look over, and saw Shen Jianye continue with a smile in his eyes: "I don't know how your grades are now, but your top priority right now must be to study hard."
"So, I looked at the report card and then determined the first required goal."
I don't know what it was that struck the girl, but the nervous expression on Jiang Rong's face instantly dissipated a lot, but she still tried to look distressed: "But the report card will only be available at the end of the semester, and we haven't had any exams recently, so there are no test papers."
Jiang Rong didn't know about other things, but at least she couldn't expose the fact that she was a poor student now, at this time!
Shen Jianye didn’t care at all, and started to change the subject inexplicably: “So, am I your parent now?”
Whether it was for the sake of performance for those debt collectors or the way they address each other now, the answer to this question is undoubtedly yes.
So she blushed and said "hmm" very cautiously.
It was just that even though she had answered the questions, her face was visibly getting redder and redder. Shen Jianye's bad thoughts paused, and he asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Rong quickly shook her head. She didn't dare to say it, and of course she wouldn't say it. The reason she called him brother was actually because when she was little and there was a TV at home, many TV dramas would have a brother who doted on his sister, so she especially hoped that a brother would come down from the sky and save her.
I never expected that the dream I had when I was eight years old would come true when I was about to turn eighteen.
I thought this conversation would be followed by some heartwarming show, but after the man confirmed that Jiang Rong was fine, he took out his phone from his pocket and said, "Then it's easy for me to be your parent. I remember that in your high school, parents should be able to use their phones to check grades. I don't think anyone in your family is tied to it, right?"
Jiang Rong opened her eyes wide. She seemed to understand every word he said, but when they were put together, she couldn't understand. She was curious and panicked. After explaining, she followed up with a question: "No, there is no one at home anymore. But what kind of high-tech thing are you talking about? I haven't even heard of it."
She quietly looked over, but Shen Jianye was holding his phone, fiddling with something on it. He easily clicked on an app he had never seen before and asked a question: "Which class are you in?"
Although Jiang Rong didn't know how to operate the phone, she was inexplicably nervous. However, facing his question, she still answered obediently, "Class 10."
Shen Jianye now understood more clearly. Seeing the corners of his mouth slightly raised, Jiang Rong became more nervous. She didn't know what he had discovered, but on second thought, since he had studied in school, he should know his school and that the classes were arranged according to grades.
Jiang Rong subconsciously wanted to argue, but she soon saw a string of numbers appear on Shen Jianye's phone, which looked familiar, but before she could look at it any more, Shen Jianye put down his phone the next second, his expression unchanged, he just looked at her and smiled slightly:
"Don't worry. Your top priority right now is to get into university. It doesn't matter what grade you get."
"But you shouldn't be opposed to studying, right?"
I saw Jiang Rong move in before and she brought some books from home. Those books were wrapped in book covers, and it was obvious that she was taking good care of them.
Although Jiang Rong didn't understand what he was doing, she nodded in response to his question. Thinking that he had heard her answer, she scratched her face and said, "Because I've been working all the time, I don't have time..."
However, since he asked this question, it was obvious that he knew his grades. And that familiar string of numbers, if he remembered correctly, seemed to be his final grades in the second semester of his senior year of high school. The girl's face turned red visibly.
He opened and closed his mouth, unable to say no anymore. He could only swear, "I, I will try my best!"
"If I disappoint you, I'll pay you back when I make money!!"
Shen Jianye smiled: “Don’t say such discouraging words, eat first, when it comes to tutoring, I do know a teacher.”
Before Jiang Rong could react, Shen Jianye had already arranged everything.
It was hard to say whether he had planned this for a long time, but Jiang Rong didn't know what she had that he could cheat her of. But if he wanted it, she would let him take it. She only had this one life.
Before Jiang Rong made up her mind to serve Shen Jianye, Shen Jianye, who had finished his meal, had simply rinsed the bowl and put it in the dishwasher. He explained to Jiang Rong how to use it, and then asked her to go to bed early, saying that he would look for a place to make up lessons in the evening, and she had to go with him tomorrow and needed to get up early.
Jiang Rong couldn't refuse at all. When she was lying on the bed, she still felt a little incredible. She couldn't believe that she was still struggling with how to get close to the coffee shop, and she didn't know whether the new hairstyle would suit her. As a result, in order to escape, she accidentally knocked on Shen Jianye's door. She originally thought that she could stay at his house for a few days, but after a day, he actually said that he would support her.
The girl pulled the quilt under her chin, raised the corners of her mouth slightly and closed her eyes, hoping that this was a beautiful dream that she would never wake up from.
Although Shen Jianye said he would get up early, no one knew what time he woke up last night. When Jiang Rong woke up, Shen Jianye's door was still closed.
Jiang Rong thought for a moment, and first imitated Shen Jianye's way of making a cup of coffee. She didn't know if it was done right, but she also clumsily searched for a method on her mobile phone. Fortunately, she smelled the familiar and mellow aroma of coffee, and Jiang Rong felt inexplicably relieved.
But she did not stop there. When Lin Yue was teaching herself how to use her mobile phone yesterday, she specifically searched for what to eat with coffee for breakfast, so when she went to the supermarket to buy groceries in the evening, she also bought some sliced bread.
When Shen Jianye woke up, he smelled the aroma of frying bread and the aroma of coffee. If it weren't for the familiar layout of the room in front of him, he would have thought he had returned to that home.
He covered his face and breathed a sigh of relief. After he had cleaned up, he pushed open the door. The scene outside the door made Shen Jianye a little dazed. A girl wearing an apron was busy in the kitchen with her back to him. Although she was obviously a little thin due to malnutrition, she was already an adult in terms of height. He opened his mobile phone and took a photo for some reason.
Jiang Rong heard the voice behind her and turned around to call out through the glass, "It will be ready soon. Please sit in the living room and wait for me."
Shen Jianye put his phone in his pocket with a guilty conscience, not daring to look her in the eye. He said, "Then I'll go water the plants first," and ran away.
The view from the floor-to-ceiling window next to him made Shen Jianye stunned. The lifeless plants had turned into delicate and bright flowers with vivid colors. He couldn't help but squat down and pick up one, only to find that it was made of paper. It was lifelike, as if these flowers had grown overnight.
While I was dazed, I heard the girl's panting voice behind me. She hurriedly tucked her hair behind her ears and said, "It will spoil if you water it."
Shen Jianye turned his back to her, silently pressing the flower in his hand into a flat surface along the grain and stuffing it into his pocket. His hands were full of care, but he said, "As soon as I said I wanted to sponsor you, you're so nice to me?"
