Chapter 299 I Only Treat You as My Sister (17)
Lin Shichu accompanied Lian Shangrui to do a full body check-up and also arranged for him to be hospitalized because the doctor said he needed to be hospitalized for observation.
After finishing all this, they still had to record statements. However, because the criminal was caught on the spot, the other things didn't need to be rushed for the time being, and only Lian Shangrui and Lin Shichu were able to rest.
While the old housekeeper was not there yet, Lin Shichu took out the little fox jade carving he had made, handed it to Lian Shangrui, and said:
"This is a little fox jade sculpture that I carved myself. My technique is not very good, so you can just make do with it. It is a warm jade, and it is good for your health if you wear it close to your skin."
Lian Shangrui did not refuse and took the fox jade carving. Then he looked at Lin Shichu intently and asked in his seldom used hoarse voice, "Why did you give it to me?"
Lin Shichu replied: "Because you gave me several paintings, I have to give you something in return. After thinking about it, this is the only suitable one."
"I will wear it." Lian Shangrui's black eyes were deep and bright, as if he could see through people's hearts.
He solemnly put the little fox jade pendant around his neck.
Lin Shichu looked at it and felt a little annoyed. He said, "Hey, I should have made this jade carving smaller. This one is too big and not suitable for wearing around the neck. How about you not wear it?"
Lian Shangrui said firmly: "It's very suitable."
Seeing that he didn't dislike it and seemed to like it very much, Lin Shichu didn't say anything else.
The old butler finally arrived and burst into tears of gratitude towards Lin Shichu who had saved his young master.
Lin Shichu couldn't stand it and ran away.
In the next two days, Lian Shangrui naturally did not go to school. On the weekend, the old housekeeper sent a car to take her and Qian Qingqing directly to the Lian family.
Only then did Qian Qingqing learn about the thrilling experience that Lin Shichu and Lian Shangrui had two days ago.
"Oh my God! I thought kidnapping was something I could only see on TV, but I didn't expect that my classmates would encounter it personally. Shichu, are you okay? Are you scared?" After being shocked, Qian Qingqing asked Lin Shichu with some fear.
"It's okay, don't be scared, it was just a false alarm." Lin Shichu didn't want to involve Qian Qingqing, so he comforted her.
Qian Qingqing chattered on and on about the details of the kidnapping. Lin Shichu told her everything he could, except for the things that needed to be kept secret.
This was enough to make Qian Qingqing startled.
"Shi Chu, it turns out that you are a hidden martial arts master. You can actually subdue several tall and strong gangsters! So amazing! I even doubt if you are the Shi Chu I know..." Qian Qingqing looked at Lin Shi Chu with surprise and fresh eyes, as if she was meeting her classmate for the first time.
"No, I came here from another time. Are you scared?" Lin Shichu said deliberately.
"Haha! You traveled through time, and I was reborn! I didn't expect you to be so humorous, and you traveled through time. My cousin who just entered the third grade is not so childish!" Qian Qingqing laughed loudly. She didn't take Lin Shichu's words seriously at all and thought she was joking.
Lin Shichu rolled his eyes at her. She was telling the truth, but no one believed her.
Qian Qingqing introduced to Lin Shichu with a giggle those of her favorite pornographic comics about time travel, and even said she would lend them to her to read.
The Lian family's new driver dropped Qian Qingqing off at the door of the Qian family, and then took Lin Shichu to the Lian family.
"Student Lin, you are finally here. The young master is waiting for you upstairs. I will bring you some fruit and snacks..." said the old butler happily. He already regarded Lin Shichu as his own and was not as polite as before.
Lin Shichu didn't hesitate and went upstairs directly.
The Lian family villa is not very big, but it is decorated warmly and comfortably, which is obviously the work of the old housekeeper, because Lin Shichu always feels that if Lian Shangrui were to decorate it himself, it would definitely be in a cold and minimalist style.
Lin Shichu knocked on the study door, and soon the door opened. Lian Shangrui reached out and pulled her in.
His hands were cool, not warm, and when they touched Lin Shichu's skin, she felt as if a strange electric current had passed through her.
"Why did you pull me in? Are you going to give me a painting again?" Lin Shichu asked without opening his hands.
Lian Shangrui shook his head: "No."
He pulled Lin Shichu to the desk before letting her go. He then took out a ceramic puppy and handed it to Lin Shichu: "This is for you."
The ceramic puppy was only the size of a fist. It was a short-legged Corgi with a round belly, one eye squinted, a grin, and a sticking out tongue. It smiled so adorably and was very interesting. Lin Shichu fell in love with the ceramic puppy at first sight.
"Thank you, I like it very much." Lin Shichu said with a smile on his face, stroking the ceramic puppy continuously, unable to let it go.
Lian Shangrui gave a very stiff smile. Although he still didn't smile very well, he was much better than before.
Lin Shichu thought that he had mild autism, which was why he was so reluctant to interact with others. However, she didn't care much about it. He had just experienced a kidnapping, which was unsuccessful, but his home was still so quiet, as if no one had ever come to care about or visit him.
Lin Shichu was a little confused, but she thought that Lian Shangrui was obviously not from an ordinary family, and maybe it was because wealthy families have a lot of things to do.
It seemed that Lian Shangrui invited her here just to give her this ceramic puppy and nothing else.
The old housekeeper was not surprised and said to Lin Shichu: "Student Lin, you are the first good friend acknowledged by the young master. It's not easy. I thought he would always live in his own world, but I didn't expect you to be an exception..."
As the old housekeeper spoke, his eyes turned red. Lin Shichu asked in a low voice: "Is Lian Shangrui slightly autistic? Or is he just suffering from social phobia?"
"A little bit of both, but this is acquired. The young master was not like this before, but then some things happened and he became like this. But actually he is a good boy. Although he looks cold, as long as you get into his heart, he will treat you sincerely..." The old butler seemed to have finally found someone who could listen to him, and said a lot for Lian Shangrui. It can be seen that he tried his best to keep Lin Shichu, a good friend, for Lian Shangrui.
Lin Shichu couldn't hold back her curiosity: "Lian Shangrui was kidnapped by someone, won't his family come to see him?"
The old housekeeper paused when he heard her words, and after a while he sighed and said, "The young master's family is very busy, and they think that the kidnapping was unsuccessful and the kidnapper was caught on the spot, so there is no need to make a fuss, so they will not waste time to see him."
When Lin Shichu heard this, his eyes widened in shock. Even Shangrui's family was too cold and heartless, right? They actually thought it was a waste of time to visit their frightened family?
Lian Shangrui is only a teenager, not even an adult!
"Aren't they worried that there's a mastermind behind this? If they fail this time, what if there's a next time?" Lin Shichu asked.
The old housekeeper just shook his head and said, "The master and his wife said they would investigate and asked the young master not to go out."
