Chapter 39 Picking Him Up
Lu Jiunian was leaning back on the sofa, pressing his aching temples. By the time he realized what was happening, it was too late to dodge.
He only had time to reach out and block Shi Nianzhi's head before it hit him.
Although it blocked most of the gravity, being hit by it still felt unpleasant.
Shi Nianzhi scrambled to her feet in a flustered manner, saying, "I'm sorry."
The surroundings were eerily quiet.
Lu Jiunian kept his eyes closed, remaining motionless in the position he had been in after being hit. He didn't speak, but Shi Nianzhi could feel his cold and dangerous aura, which was chilling.
Shi Nianzhi remained stiff and motionless for a long time.
Seeing that Lu Jiunian still didn't intend to move, he quietly shifted his position slightly. Since his finger was still bleeding, he grabbed a tissue.
After wrapping the injured finger with paper, Shi Nianzhi cautiously asked, "Do I need to go to the hospital? I didn't mean to, I tripped by accident."
Lu Jiunian's voice was tinged with a sinister chill, "Shut up!"
It gave off a "I'll kill you if you make another sound" vibe.
Shi Nianzhi dared not speak.
After a while, Lu Jiunian stood up with a gloomy face, and Shi Nianzhi reached out his hand.
Lu Jiunian stared coldly at Shi Nianzhi's outstretched hands, and asked him with a hint of anger, "What are you doing?"
"I'll help you up."
Shi Nianzhi's hand was outstretched, but he didn't know whether to pull it back or put it back, so he was frozen in mid-air.
Lu Jiunian grabbed Shi Nianzhi's wrist, pulled her forward violently, and then slammed her onto the sofa.
He looked down at him, his eyes icy cold. "I don't care if you did it on purpose or by accident. If it happens again, I'll make you kneel on these shards of porcelain and reflect on your actions!"
Lu Jiunian is gone.
The sofa was very soft, and Shi Nianzhi only fell slightly without getting hurt.
He got up, thinking about what Lu Jiunian had just said.
My gaze was drawn to the broken pieces of porcelain on the floor. They were of different sizes, but all of them were very sharp.
If Lu Jiunian asked him to kneel on this, Shi Nian subconsciously rubbed his knees with his hands.
It hurts!
Just thinking about it hurts. He must be careful next time and never hurt Lu Jiunian's precious child again.
Shi Nianzhi picked up the broken porcelain shards and threw them into the trash can. For the smaller ones, he found a towel, wrapped them up, shook them in the trash can, and then washed them clean.
They also cleaned up the spilled hangover tea.
He was really tired after finishing all that, so he lay down on the sofa fully clothed, hugged a pillow, and made do with it.
Lu Jiunian tossed and turned in the bedroom for a while, but Shi Nian still hadn't come up. His brows furrowed with suppressed anger.
After waiting a while, Lu Jiunian sat up in bed, lifted the covers and got out of bed.
He went downstairs and found the boy's slender figure curled up on the sofa, tightly hugging a pillow. His sleeping profile looked beautiful and peaceful under the light.
Lu Jiunian stood there for a while and then suddenly calmed down.
He bent down and picked him up.
Shi Nianzhi was feeling cold when he was picked up and noticed the warmth of Lu Jiunian's body, so he leaned against him.
Lu Jiunian's heart felt as if it had been brushed by a feather.
When Shi Nianzhi was put on the bed, he mumbled in his sleep, "This question is so hard, I don't know how to do it..."
Lu Jiunian sat on the edge of the bed and saw Shi Nianzhi's tightly furrowed brows.
He reached out and gently smoothed it out, his expression as tender as his actions.
Under the lamplight, his eyes held a deep affection and tenderness that no one else could see.
Shi Nianzhi seemed annoyed by Lu Jiunian's touching, so he turned over.
He muttered under his breath, "Brother Yi, let me copy your answer sheet. And don't cover it up."
Lu Jiunian: "..."
He didn't know whether to praise him or scold him.
Go ahead and scold him; he dreams about taking exams.
Praise him; he even thinks about how to cheat and copy answers during exams in his dreams.
Just like Shi Nianzhi, sometimes Lu Jiunian really couldn't do anything about him.
Lu Jiunian got into bed and held Shi Nianzhi in his arms.
Shi Nian instinctively hugged his waist, found a comfortable position in his arms, and lay down without moving.
"good evening."
The man kissed the top of the boy's head softly.
the next day.
Shi Nianzhi was woken up by Aunt Zhang. He sat on the bed, his eyelids still a little swollen because he had gone to bed too late the night before.
Shi Nianzhi rubbed his eyes with his hand.
Aunt Zhang placed the school uniform by the bed. "Young Master Shi, it's time to get up for school, or you'll be late."
Shi Nianzhi squinted her eyes, "I'm not going to study anymore. Lu Jiunian said he wants me to be a maid at home, doing things like cleaning and cooking."
In a gentle tone, Aunt Zhang said, "Before Third Master left, he specifically told me to wake you up for school and also told you that he was going on a business trip for two days and that you should study hard."
Shi Nianzhi sat on the bed, squinting at the blue and white school uniform placed on it.
Because she had just woken up and her hair was still sticking up, her dazed look made Aunt Zhang's maternal instincts surge; it was just too adorable.
"Get up quickly, it's getting late. The driver is waiting for you outside."
"Um."
Shi Nianzhi spoke with a faint nasal tone.
He wondered if he was dreaming. Was everything last night just a dream?
He remembered sleeping on the sofa and also remembered Lu Jiunian's words. But when he opened his eyes, he was sleeping on the soft bed in the master bedroom. The dream of not having to go to school had once again vanished.
Shi Nianzhi resignedly knelt on the bed, took off his pajamas and began to put on his school uniform.
Because I wasn't fully awake, my school uniform short-sleeved shirt was crooked.
After washing up, Shi Nianzhi felt much more awake. When she looked up, she saw a hickey on her collarbone in the mirror.
He rubbed it with his hands, not knowing where it came from.
None of them were there yesterday.
Was it just bitten?
But he had no recollection of it at all.
It couldn't have been Lu Jiunian who did it; that man was yelling at him yesterday.
Shi Nianzhi fastened the buttons with her hands to cover the hickeys.
He went outside to put on his school uniform jacket; the mornings and evenings were getting a bit chilly in late autumn.
He went downstairs, and Aunt Zhang handed him a sandwich and milk. "You got up late today, eat this on the way. Oh, and this is for lunch today."
Shi Nianzhi reached out and took it, saying somewhat embarrassedly, "Could you give me an extra copy? If it's too much trouble, I can get up earlier and prepare it myself. I have a classmate..."
Before he could finish speaking, Aunt Zhang nodded understandingly, "A bento box? Sure, I'll make an extra one tomorrow, there's not enough time today."
"thank you."
Shi Nianzhi kept saying thank you, which made Aunt Zhang feel embarrassed. She gave him two extra breakfasts and put a fruit box full of cut fruit in his backpack.
Then she happily sent Shi Nianzhi to school. What Zhang Sao wanted to do most was to fatten Shi Nianzhi up a bit.
School.
As Shi Nianzhi ate his sandwich, something occurred to him, and he asked Su Hengyi in a low voice.
"Brother, the boss said you grew up in a garbage dump and often scavenged for food. Is that true?"
Mu Guangcheng, who had just stepped into the classroom, was speechless.
