Chapter 26 No Longer Eating Together
“…”
Sheng Yize glanced at her leisurely.
Sang Sui felt guilty and hesitated, and finally could only explain: "Well, I'm just hungry."
The man was slightly surprised and took a look at the food on the table. Four meats, three vegetables and a soup every day. How could he get hungry so quickly?
Sheng Yize frowned: "A child of your age... has such a good digestive ability?"
Sang Sui reminded: "I'm eighteen."
The man's fingers froze, and the look he cast upon her face was intriguing and profound.
“I’m an adult.”
The girl looked serious, as if she was telling him something.
Sheng Yize looked into her eyes. The girl's round eyes were clear and bright, revealing a subtle eagerness.
"Sheng Yize," she said, "I am no longer the little girl who knew nothing four years ago."
Sheng Yize's eyes darkened, and his gaze involuntarily fell on the little face in front of him.
Compared to Aokiji when she first came to his house, she now had more agility and beauty of a young girl.
That face, fair and rosy, shows the vitality of an adult girl.
Sheng Yize turned his eyes away, put his fist to his lips and coughed lightly.
"If you're hungry, eat first."
Sang Sui didn't say anything, just picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
The man was a man of few words, and he said even less when facing her.
During the days when the two of them ate together, they mostly sat face to face, eating in silence.
Sometimes he would only respond when a topic was mentioned.
Sang Sui felt a little depressed, not only because he still treated her as a child, but also because...
She vaguely realized that he was being nice to her now only because she had saved him and he was taking responsibility to the end, that was all.
As Sang Sui took a bite of rice, he saw a chicken leg in the bowl in front of him.
She looked up.
Sheng Yize picked up a chicken drumstick for her with a serving chopstick. He didn't look at her the whole time and asked casually, "Have you had a headache recently?"
Sang Sui was startled and shook his head: "No."
"The doctor said before that the recovery period for a mild concussion is about seven days. After counting the time, your concussion should be healed."
Sang Sui lowered his eyes and vaguely guessed something.
"You don't have to come over to eat with me tomorrow."
Sang Sui looked up at him and curled his lips: "What, what's wrong?"
"You're well again."
Her face froze.
His meaning was very clear. Once you have recovered, you no longer need to eat the nutritious meals specially prepared by the cafeteria chef.
"Yes, I understand."
She put down her chopsticks and tried to maintain a smile on her face.
"My concussion has healed. You don't have to blame yourself or feel guilty anymore, and you don't have to ask someone to cook those dishes anymore. In fact, it's fine for me to eat the dishes from the cafeteria window."
"Thank you for your care during this time. Just go about your business and don't worry about me. I will take good care of myself."
As she spoke, she rubbed her thighs awkwardly with her hands and took a deep breath.
"Well, I'm full. I'm going back to the dormitory first."
After saying that, she picked up the textbook beside her and turned away without stopping.
She was very scared. If she turned around too slowly, tears would fall from her red eyes.
In fact, she had known for a long time that he did all this only because she was injured while saving him, and he had been taking care of her out of guilt.
There is no other meaning.
But she still longed for the time alone with him every day when she had meals together.
Although it was very quiet, it was a time when she felt happy in her heart.
-
Ever since he said that they would not eat together that day, Sang Sui really did not eat with him.
Back to the starting point, after school every day, she would go to the cafeteria to eat with Lin Luoluo.
Sometimes when she met Sheng Yize and the others, she pretended not to see them and took Lin Luoluo to other places.
Sheng Yize held the plate in his hand and frowned as he watched her pull Lin Luoluo and walk away.
"Brother Sheng, are you going to the company today?" Chen Yi came up after getting his meal, and saw that his eyes fell on Sang Sui in the distance, with suspicion.
He finally realized that the two of them hadn't eaten together in the past few days, and Brother Sheng no longer asked the canteen chef to cook special dishes.
Chen Yi glanced at him sideways: "Are you having a conflict with Sang Sui?"
Sheng Yize glanced at him sideways, took the plate and found a place to sit down.
Chen Yi walked over and sat down, and found that his eyes were always looking at one place.
He followed Sheng Yize's gaze and looked over there - Sang Sui and Lin Luoluo were sitting there.
Chen Yi smiled: "Why don't you eat together for no reason?"
Sheng Yize withdrew his gaze and said nothing.
"It's so boring to eat alone, let's go!"
Chen Yi stood up, holding the dinner plate in one hand and grabbing Sheng Yize's arm with the other, pulling him up.
Sheng Yize frowned: "What for?"
"Go and eat with them."
“…”
Chen Yi pulled Sheng Yize over, leaned over and asked with a smile: "What are you eating?"
Sang Sui looked up, saw Sheng Yize, picked up the plate and left without saying a word.
Chen Yi: “…”
-
Military training will start tomorrow.
The night before yesterday, the monitor sent a form in the class group, asking everyone to fill in the information, especially the emergency contact person, who must fill in the name of the family member or friend closest to them.
Because of the military training in previous years, many freshmen had accidents.
For some people who are weak, fainting is a minor matter, and some people with poor physical fitness are not reported to the school, which leads to deaths during military training.
Therefore, the school now attaches great importance to the safety issues and rescue measures during the military training of freshmen. Before the military training begins, several ambulances have been arranged to wait in the school.
Sang Sui opened the form in the class group and filled in various information. When it came to "emergency contact", his hand suddenly stopped.
On the hospital's discharge information form, the emergency contact person was Sheng Yize.
However, this time, she was not qualified to write about him.
But she has few relatives and friends in Yunjing City, and her only relative is her mother.
Sang Sui thought for a moment, lowered his eyes, and filled in Yunman’s name and cell phone number.
After filling it out, Lin Luoluo turned around and asked her, "Sui Sui, who did you fill in as the emergency contact?"
"My mother."
Lin Luoluo was surprised, and leaned close to her and asked in a low voice: "Why don't you write about Sheng Yize?"
“Why write about him?”
"He's your brother!"
"It's not a kiss."
“…”
Well, she figured it out.
The two broke up.
-
The next day.
Sheng Yize and Chen Yi came out of the hotel and walked towards the car.
The sun is still scorching in October, the high temperature is scorching the earth, and you can vaguely see wisps of hot air rising from the road.
Sheng Yize took off his suit jacket, opened the car door and threw the jacket in, then raised his hands to roll up the sleeves of his white shirt to his elbows.
Chen Yi stood beside him and said, "Looking at what the person in charge of Ziyang said, we are under a lot of pressure this time."
Sheng Yize glanced at him: "Why, are you scared?"
"With you here, I have nothing to fear."
Sheng Yize curled his lips: "Then you trust me quite a bit."
"That's right. If this project succeeds, you will be able to get rid of your father's shackles in the future."
The man snorted coldly, bent down and got into the car: "Don't talk nonsense."
"Yes."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yi's cell phone suddenly rang.
He picked it up and saw that it was Lin Luoluo, his eyes tightened.
He quickly picked up the phone, but before he could say anything, Lin Luoluo's anxious voice came from the other end.
Sheng Yize picked up the pen on the center console and saw that his face was not right, "What's wrong?"
"Something happened to Sang Sui."
“Boom—”
The pen slipped from the man's hand.
