Chapter 3 Wait and wait
After Shi Wan finished washing up, he found that someone had added him on WeChat. It was Gu Zhinian.
Gu Zhinian’s profile picture is the scenery of his high school. After walking along this road for three years, it is impossible for Shi Wan to make a mistake. Did Gu Zhinian also graduate from this school?
Shi Wan tilted her head and looked for a long time before approving Gu Zhinian's application.
Shi Wan spent a long time selecting an emoticon from her own emoji pack and sent it over [Shi Wan: Cat Says Hello.jpg]
[Gu Zhinian: Are you feeling better?]
Gu Zhinian replied immediately, but after sending the message, there was no response at all, and there was no reply at all!
The main reason why Shi Wan didn't reply was because his phone was too old, and the WeChat message didn't pop up. Shi Wan didn't play with his phone much, and he didn't put the cochlear implant back on after taking it off before taking a shower. After drying his hair, he picked up his sketchbook and drew for two hours as usual, then tidied up and went to bed.
Well, I just...completely forgot about Gu Zhinian.
Gu Zhinian was watching the phone leisurely at the beginning, but half an hour later, there was no news. Gu Zhinian bent his fingers and tapped the table again and again. It can be seen that his master was in a very bad mood.
The phone suddenly lit up, and Gu Zhinian hurriedly opened it. It was not a message from Shi Wanhui.
【Xuan Wenyao: Let’s go out for a drink.】
【Gu Zhinian: Get lost! 】
Xuan Wenyao was stunned in the bar's private room. He could already sense Gu Zhinian's anger from the text. He hadn't provoked Gu Zhinian recently, right?
"What's wrong?" Xiang Yan looked at Xuan Wen Yao, shaking the wine in his hand to hide his desire to check the interface of Xuan Wen Yao's mobile phone.
"No, Zhinian is busy and can't come." Xuan Wenyao put away his phone and said with a smile.
The smile on Xiang Yan's face froze and he pushed away the person who was sticking to him.
After ten o'clock, Gu Zhinian took the car keys and went out directly. The bodyguard who accompanied Gu Zhinian followed closely. They drove all the way to Pei's house. It was almost eleven o'clock. There was silence all around and there were not many lights on in Pei's house. Gu Zhinian looked at the window of Shi Wan's room not far away.
"Sir." The bodyguard came to Gu Zhinian's car window.
"You go... forget it." Gu Zhinian hesitated to speak, waved his hand to let the bodyguard go, took off his glasses and threw them aside, rubbing his eyebrows, his eyes still on the phone.
Gu Zhinian originally wanted to send his bodyguard to Shi Wan's room to check, but he thought it would be bad luck to scare Shi Wan, so he had to give up and wait until dawn the next day. Gu Zhinian didn't sleep much that night and kept checking his phone from time to time to see if there was a reply from Shi Wan. It was not until seven o'clock that he received a message from Shi Wan.
Shi Wan: Sorry I only saw the message so late. I'm fine. Thank you for your concern.
When Shi Wan saw the messages sent by Gu Zhinian, she was stunned for a long time. She was a little overwhelmed by the concern of Gu Zhinian, someone she had just met. She deleted a lot of words back and forth before sending it.
Is he of any use to Gu Zhinian?
Or is there something wrong with Gu Zhinian?
I was thinking about this question while brushing my teeth.
【Gu Zhinian: I'm glad you're alright.】
After Gu Zhinian replied to the message, he kept staring at the screen waiting for Shi Wan to reply.
Shi Wan... Shi Wan looked at Gu Zhinian's message interface, tapped his toes, and thought that Gu Zhinian meant to end the topic, so he... didn't reply.
When Shi Wan was boiling eggs and heating milk in the kitchen, Aunt Zhang walked in with a cold face. As she passed by Shi Wan, she said with disgust, "You are such a cold-hearted person! Master Shi Jin cared about you, but you didn't even look at him. Bah."
Seeing Shi Wan didn't react, Aunt Zhang became even angrier. She just wanted to see Shi Wan's frustrated look: "Why don't you go and clean your bladder and see what you look like? You're a deaf person who can't do anything, and you still dare to covet Young Master Jiang Heng? You're really dreaming."
"I know what I look like, but have you ever looked in water to see what you look like?" Shi Wan raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at Zhang Ma. Zhang Ma read the word "clown" in Shi Wan's eyes.
"You——" Aunt Zhang gasped in anger and pointed at Shi Wan.
"Snap." Shi Wan stretched out his hand and pushed Zhang Ma's fingers apart. His eyes were so cold that it made people feel chilled. Zhang Ma covered her fingers. Shi Wan was so frail that she couldn't even withstand a slap, but she still felt scared.
"Shi Wan, what are you doing? You've learned nothing else since you returned to the Pei family, but you've learned to bully people, right? Aunt Zhang is an old lady after all, why are you hitting her?"
"As expected, you grew up in an orphanage. You have no manners and are not comparable to your second brother in any way. I don't know why they called you back. Are you trying to bring shame to the Pei family?" Pei Shiyu only saw Shi Wan trying to open Zhang Ma's fingers. He didn't see much of the previous events, but he directly convicted Shi Wan. After all, he had already made up his mind about Shi Wan. In his mind, Shi Wan was an uneducated, arrogant, deaf and disabled man who only knew how to steal and bully others.
Shi Wan took the things and went upstairs without even glancing at his blood brother. He heated up the snacks that Gu Zhinian had packed for him yesterday in the microwave. They had a sweet taste and were only five small pieces, but they looked extremely exquisite. They were the kind of things that looked very expensive at first glance.
"Shi Wan, I'm talking to you, do you hear me?" Pei Shiyu's face turned pale and blue when he saw Shi Wan ignoring him. He felt very embarrassed. After all, he was only sixteen years old and had been pampered since he was a child. He had never been treated so coldly. He couldn't bring himself to hold Shi Wan back, so he watched Shi Wan leave.
Shi Wan heard Pei Shiyu's roar, but ignored it. Going back to his room to have breakfast was his priority. If he hadn't had nowhere to go after the college entrance examination and had to wait for the admission letter, he would not have come back to live in the Pei family.
"Auntie Zhang, where did the snacks Shi Wan got from? They look like Yunhai's snacks to me. Didn't he eat the things that Brother Jiang Heng gave to my second brother?" Pei Shiyu frowned and questioned Auntie Zhang.
In fact, Pei Shiyu didn't respect Zhang Ma that much. After all, in his eyes, Zhang Ma was just a servant hired by their family. What's wrong with her being old? She was paid, so why should he support her? He just said that to Shi Wan because he didn't like Shi Wan.
"This...should not be bought at home." Aunt Zhang no longer had the arrogance she had in front of Shi Wan. She answered Pei Shiyu's questions timidly and guessed what Pei Shiyu was thinking.
"Hmph, you're really not presentable." Pei Shiyu snorted coldly, and his disgust for Shi Wan reached a new level. However, due to his young age, he looked a little out of place, pretending to be mature.
Aunt Zhang watched Pei Shiyu leave, a gleam in her eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Shi Wan dared to hit her, and she wanted to let Shi Wan know that Shi Wan was nothing in the Pei family.
A child who is hated and despised by her own mother, as long as she says a few words, someone will naturally vent her anger.
Gu Zhinian didn't wait for Shi Wan to reply to his message, but he saw Shi Wan go out and accompanied her to the subway station. It took Shi Wan nearly half an hour to walk from Pei's house to the subway station. The sun was not very bright in the morning, and Shi Wan looked even more frail in her loose short-sleeved shirt.
Gu Zhinian pursed his lips and watched Shi Wan enter the subway station, and then drove to Yunhai.
