Chapter 294 I Only Treat You as My Sister (12)
"Shichu, it turns out to be the young master of the Lian family! It turns out his name is Lian Shangrui, what a special name." Qian Qingqing recognized that the new classmate was the young master of the Lian family. She immediately grabbed Lin Shichu's arm in shock and said in disbelief.
Lin Shichu nodded, a little surprised: "But why did he transfer to another school at this time? He just came here when the first semester of senior year is almost over. Won't it affect his studies?"
Qian Qingqing heard Lin Shichu's words and realized that this matter was unusual, but she quickly found a suitable excuse and said, "These young masters from wealthy families don't need to care about their academic performance at all. After graduating from high school, they will go abroad to study anyway. Of course, they don't have the worries that ordinary students like us have!"
Although Qian Qingqing's family lives in the same wealthy villa area as Lian Shangrui, the Qian family only made a fortune during Qian's father's generation by taking advantage of the reform era, so they are at most a nouveau riche. They still care a lot about their children's studies, and their daily lifestyle is similar to that of an ordinary family. They have not yet caught up with the wealthy families in the upper class.
So Qian Qingqing doesn't think that she and Lian Shangrui are the same kind of people.
"You're right." Lin Shichu agreed, "Maybe the young master wants to experience the study life of an ordinary high school student."
Lian Shangrui was tall and thin, with fair skin, handsome and clean-looking. He wore a white shirt and black pants. He had the kind of appearance that was very popular among female students. However, he had a cold face and a temperament that kept people at a distance, so no one dared to look at him, let alone talk to him.
Lin Shichu watched him walk to the last empty seat in the classroom. He seemed to have mysophobia. He took out a box of tissues from his schoolbag and carefully wiped the tables and chairs with his slender, beautiful fingers before sitting down with a frown.
After sitting down, Lian Shangrui glanced at everyone in the classroom without any emotion in his eyes, but when he saw Lin Shichu, his eyes suddenly seemed to light up and he stared at Lin Shichu intently.
Lin Shichu was stunned for a moment, then remembered the painting he gave her, and smiled at him.
Lian Shangrui seemed to be attracted by her smile and looked at her more openly. After a while, he even pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing an extremely stiff "smile". It was more like an imitation of Lin Shichu's "smile" than a smile, but the imitation was so unsuccessful that it seemed stiff and weird.
Lin Shichu quickly turned around and stopped looking at him.
Qian Qingqing also saw his weird expression and shuddered. She said in disbelief, "Was that a smile just now? How could someone not even know how to smile? Has he never smiled since he was a child?"
"I heard that some people are born with facial paralysis, which means their facial nerves are disordered and they can't make normal movements. He is probably like this." Lin Shichu said seriously. She guessed wrong this time. Lian Shangrui didn't have facial nerve disorder. He was just face blind. He couldn't even recognize his own parents. When he remembered people, he remembered their features. For example, if this person had a black mole on his left cheek, he could only recognize this person's identity through this mole, but if this person removed the mole one day, he would not be able to recognize him next time.
Lian Shangrui, who is face-blind, naturally finds it difficult to recognize the expressions on other people's faces. Although smiling is innate, based on the environment he grew up in, smiling is a very scarce luxury. Over time, due to lack of opportunities to practice, he no longer knows how to smile.
Qian Qingqing listened to Lin Shichu's eloquent talk and said with admiration: "I didn't expect you to know so much, Shichu. There are such strange diseases in the world. Alas, even the young master is too pitiful. He actually has facial paralysis!"
Lian Shangrui stayed in Lin Shichu's class, but he seldom appeared in the classroom. The head teacher said that he was often sick and studied at home most of the time, so everyone gradually got used to it.
The old housekeeper seemed to be more familiar with the Qian family. Qian Qingqing once met him after school when he came to deliver cakes to the Qian family. He also warmly invited Qian Qingqing to go to the Lian family to play with the dogs: "The dogs at home miss you very much. They often dig holes by the fence. They probably want to escape and play. When will you come to play with your classmate again?"
Qian Qingqing didn't understand the old housekeeper's point. When she heard about the puppies, her mind immediately flew to the Lian family: "Is it true? Are the puppies really digging holes by the fence? It must be interesting! But my mom won't let me play with them until I finish my homework! There is so much homework every day, how can I finish it?"
"Would it be faster if you do it with your previous classmate?" the old butler hinted subtly.
"You're right! It will be faster to do homework with Shi Chu. She is a top student. I will invite her to my house this Friday..." Qian Qingqing immediately followed the old housekeeper's hint.
After hearing what she said, the old housekeeper finally went home contentedly and happily went to the studio to find Lian Shangrui: "Master! Miss Qian said that she will invite Shi Chu to spend the weekend at her house this Friday. They will definitely come to play with our dog, and you will be able to meet Miss Shi Chu."
Lian Shangrui's originally calm eyes suddenly flashed with a ripple. He took out his mobile phone to look at the calendar. Seeing that today was only Tuesday, he frowned.
The old housekeeper watched him grow up, how could he not know what he was thinking at this moment? So he comforted him in a familiar way: "Master, today is Tuesday, and there are less than three days until Friday afternoon. It will be quick! I see that Shi Chu likes our dog very much. You can draw a few scenes of the dogs playing in these three days. She will definitely like it when she sees it."
After hearing this, Lian Shangrui's expression immediately improved a lot and he said, "Okay."
The old butler breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Shichu had no idea that someone was targeting her. She saw Meng Shiyang on her way home from school and discovered that he was working part-time in a coffee shop!
What's going on? How can he have the time and energy to work part-time? Doesn't he need to take care of his grandma?
Lin Shichu paused, stood outside the coffee shop, and observed Meng Shiyang for a while. He found that his complexion looked much better, with no dark circles under his eyes, and he was no longer so haggard. He seemed to have returned to the way he was before the accident with Old Lady Meng.
This was very abnormal. Lin Shichu narrowed his eyes and walked towards the home of Meng Shiyang in his memory.
By this time, Mrs. Meng should have been discharged from the hospital and recuperating at home, but without her this time, I wonder which stupid girl will step in to be a free babysitter.
Lin Shichu walked downstairs to Meng Shiyang's house. His family lived in an old residential area and there were no formal security guards, so she got in easily. Of course, she couldn't get into the Meng family, and she wouldn't go in.
There is no need to go in. The idle uncles and aunts sitting downstairs will tell her about the Meng family.
