The man had a handsome face, gentle eyes and eyebrows, and he looked like a scholar.
Du Yaoyao had described this look in her mind thousands of times.
Du Yaoyao is an abandoned child. Her parents' relationship broke down after she was born, and they each started a new family, leaving her to be raised by her elderly grandmother.
She grew up in a poor mountain village. Her father had neglected her and her mother had ignored her since she was a child. She should have learned a few words and gone out to work to earn money to support herself and her grandmother. However, because of her excellent grades, she was valued by the school and received sponsorship from a kind-hearted uncle.
In her senior year of high school, her grandmother passed away due to illness. Her mood was affected and her academic performance declined. Her uncle sent her his son’s WeChat and told her that she could ask him questions she didn’t understand.
The other party was once the top scorer in the college entrance examination in a certain city and is currently studying at a key 985 university in China. After a few interactions, they gradually became familiar with each other and would talk about other topics besides studying.
For example, hobbies, life ideals, or...the person you like.
On the eve of the college entrance examination, he said: Yaoyao, I'll wait for you at Tsinghua University.
Du Yaoyao worked very hard to get into Tsinghua University, but before she could get married to her brother who was the top scholar, she traveled into this male-oriented novel and became the cannon fodder wife of Chen Jie.
Meeting an old acquaintance in the book, who was still the white moonlight in her heart, Du Yaoyao was overwhelmed with emotions and immediately burst into tears, staring at Song Xingkai intently.
Seeing Du Yaoyao's tearful expression, Song Xingkai looked away to avoid suspicion, walked in front of Du, bowed respectfully, and said, "Mother."
He called Ruan again, "Ruan Niang."
Then he walked towards the steps and saluted as a colleague, "Lord Shen."
Finally, he glanced at Du Yaoyao indifferently and nodded, "Cousin Yao."
The closeness and distance are clear and distinct. Be polite in your words and actions, and be careful with the rules.
Du Yaoyao's heart sank. This cousin might be an ancient person, just with a face similar to his.
She was hesitant again, perhaps he didn't dare to recognize her in front of others.
Knowing that she had lost her composure, Du Yaoyao hid herself and lowered her head to squat, trying to pick up the broken pieces of the teacup on the ground.
Shen Jie held her waist and stepped back, his eyes cold and his tone gentle, "Did your hand slip? Let the maid do it."
I almost forgot that in ancient times young ladies had people to serve them in everything. Du Yaoyao held back her tears and tried hard to act as if nothing had happened.
Ruan asked the servants to clean up the mess on the floor.
"Cousin, Yaoyao was drunk that day and must have offended you. Please forgive me." Du Yaoyao bowed and apologized to Song Xingkai as she had said before.
He looks calm and has returned to normal.
But everyone has not forgotten the scene of the cup-throwing incident just now.
Song Xingkai raised his hand politely, "It's okay, there's no need to be so polite, cousin Yao."
The midday sun shone through the window, and Ruan asked, "Sir Shen and cousin, do you want to stay at the mansion for lunch?"
Du Yaoyao was about to open her mouth to refuse, but Chen Jie replied from the side: "Thank you, madam. Sorry to bother you then."
Ruan was stunned, she just asked politely and didn't expect Shen Jie to really agree. You know, three years ago, when he accompanied his newlywed wife, she didn't want to stay for dinner.
Mrs. Du was too lazy to get involved with these young people and went back to the courtyard to rest. Ruan ordered the kitchen to prepare lunch.
