Jiang Chen counted the time and thought of quickly finding a Chinese medicine shop to prepare Lin Shirou's first medicine.
Jiang Chen took out the purchased medicinal powder from the Chinese medicine shop and wrote down the accounts in the account book in his pocket.
Lin Shirou had always had the habit of keeping accounts after he got married. She remembered every account clearly. Jiang Chen, who was influenced by her, gradually developed the habit.
"Sure enough, we have to rely on the help of Xie Zitong's father. Buying it yourself is still a bit expensive..."
At that time, it will be up to Xie Zitong to think of a solution.
Taking the medicine bag all the way to Peninsula Coffee, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a little breathless. He looked at the time and saw that it was almost one o'clock.
Peninsula Coffee is a second-floor cafe that has just been renovated about half a year ago. Its customers are usually young couples in love or students who are out studying.
Jiang Chen scanned around and saw that there was no single person sitting there, so he walked to the front desk and said to the clerk.
"I'd like two cups of coffee."
"Okay sir, please find a place to sit first. I'll bring it to you when it's ready." The clerk nodded.
Jiang Chen immediately chose a seat far away from the door and sat.
This place has a good view, and the high solid wood chair back blocks the view. He can directly see the entrance of the cafe.
Normally, according to Lin Shirou's personality, she would arrive a few minutes early. It was almost the time they agreed, but he still didn't see her at the door.
At this time, a soft female voice sounded in Jiang Chen's ears.
"Your coffee."
"Thanks."
Jiang Chen turned his head and nodded to the waiter to thank him as usual. He looked at the girl in school uniform and said in surprise.
"Lin Shirou?"
"What, are you surprised?" The girl in school uniform naturally sat opposite Jiang Chen.
"Why didn't I see you just now..." Jiang Chen pointed at the store door.
He had been staring at the door just now.
"I came here to work part-time in the morning. I just calculated the time and thought you would be here soon, so I asked the store manager to change my clothes and prepare to find a place to wait for you."
"Just in time, I heard from the store manager that a high school student just ordered two cups of coffee, and it turned out to be you."
Lin Shirou placed two cups of coffee in front of his desk.
He held a cup of hot water in his hand.
"It's just a cup of coffee, I'll treat you to it." Jiang Chen looked at the water bottle in Lin Shirou and pushed the coffee cup forward.
"Thank you for your kindness, but a cup of coffee is still too expensive. I only made 40 part-time in the morning."
Lin Shirou looked at the price of 18 yuan for a cup of mocha on the price list in front of her and made a calculation in her mind.
I work part-time in a coffee shop for only 40 a morning, how can I let someone I just met for two days treat me to such an expensive drink...
"I just drink water. Water quenches my thirst better than coffee."
"I can't drink alone. What's the point of drinking water in a cafe?"
Jiang Chen pushed the coffee cup back with a smile.
Using an ordinary small gift to open up a situation between strangers is what you taught me back then.
Lin Shirou hesitated and nodded in thanks.
Looking at the girl sipping her coffee, Jiang Chen couldn't help but think to himself.
In his previous life, Jiang Chen was used to being casual. He was an outstanding student from childhood to adulthood and had a serious mind.
I think that I can handle everything in society just by relying on my own achievements and abilities, and I have never studied this aspect in depth.
When he first entered society, he thought that society was the same as school, and good grades were everything.
With this idea in mind, he ran into a lot of troubles and was later devastated by Han Yutong's departure.
Under the huge gap, his understanding of himself went to extremes.
From a proud and proud man of heaven, he turned into a creature worse than a maggot.
Afterwards, it was Lin Shirou who helped him get out.
In the days when he first got along with Lin Shirou, Lin Shirou made a strict and detailed physical and mental rehabilitation plan for him.
Including but not limited to urging him to go out for regular activities, rebuild his self-confidence, and deal with interpersonal relationships.
Lin Shirou frowned slightly, seeing that she couldn't refuse, she nodded after a moment and said.
"Thank you."
Jiang Chen replied: "Don't be so polite, it's just a small compensation for my previous rashness."
"Call me wife? Actually, I don't care that much, not to mention you didn't mean to do it."
Lin Shirou said softly.
"We made it very clear in the equipment room."
Looking into her eyes, Jiang Chen also smiled.
Maybe you think I am unintentional, but I do mean it.
Jiang Chen thought about it afterwards and felt that it was a god-sent opportunity for him to subconsciously call out his wife.
Although she seemed to have received a beating, she did not show any initiative this time. With Lin Shirou's unflappable and independent character, it was not known how long it would take to pry open her defenses.
"Then let's get down to business."
Jiang Chen took out the Chinese medicine bag he had prepared before and placed it on the table.
Although Jiang Chen's grandfather may not even be able to pronounce the word "qi" for astragalus, this does not prevent Jiang Chen from giving his grandfather the title of an old Chinese doctor.
"This is a medicine prescribed by my grandfather. It is specially used to treat body cold. You can go back and drink it with water first, twice a day to see the effect."
Lin Shirou rarely said any more words of rejection and just stared at the medicine bag.
On the one hand, she is unwilling to accept the other party's kindness for no reason. The debt of gratitude is the most difficult to repay.
But faced with this medicine that could cure her chronic illness, she couldn't help but want to give it a try...
"But let's do some cramming first. I want to get a good score for the college entrance examination, around 650."
Lin Shirou does not accept kindness easily. If you want her to accept kindness from others, she must pay first.
"650...a very high score." Lin Shirou nodded.
With this score, no more than ten students in the county can usually pass the exam.
"But I'm not sure that you will pass the exam... We should be considered as mutual learning, rather than me tutoring you."
Lin Shirou opened the book and said to Jiang Chen.
"Let's start studying first."
"Okay, okay." Jiang Chen nodded repeatedly.
After the actual counseling, Lin Shirou discovered Jiang Chen's problem.
And it's not small.
He was unfamiliar with mathematical and physical formulas, but it didn't hurt. But when it came to a subject like Chinese and Biology, where memory is greater than understanding, Jiang Chen instantly tensed his hips.
After randomly checking a few ancient articles, Lin Shirou frowned slightly.
"You...can't you even memorize "Rogue"?"
This is one of the must-memorize texts in high school. How could Jiang Chen not be able to memorize these if he wanted to achieve high scores?
Only the hexagonal warriors can come out on top in the brutal college entrance examination. Any subject that is missed will affect the final result.
Jiang Chen spread his hands, expressing his helplessness.
He was not good at memorizing things by rote. He only remembered a few allusions, but it was really difficult for him to memorize the entire text.
The main reason why my grades dropped back then was because I had poor performance in Chinese and English in my previous life.
Although I have been reborn, I don’t have time to review mathematics and comprehensive science. How can I still have time to memorize the text...
When Jiang Chen didn't speak, Lin Shirou thought that the other person was a little frustrated, so she reached out and patted his shoulder gently, comforting him softly.
"But it's not too late, let me help you."
