Pei Shuo ordered a Korean restaurant outside the school. When they arrived, Lu Zhinian, Pei Shuo and Tang Zi had just finished a game.
Pei Shuo saw the three people at the door standing up and waving to them, "Sui Sui Tang Xiaomi, this way."
Tang Mi was originally looking for where they were. When she saw Pei Shuo, she pulled Jiang Suchu and Liang Yi over and asked, "Why are you sitting here?"
The seat they reserved was at the very back of the restaurant, near the corner.
Pei Shuo poured water for them with a smile and said, "It's so hidden. Didn't you see the battle just now when you arrived? There were several women taking pictures with their mobile phones. I thought some celebrity was cheating. I turned around. Look, oh~ it turns out he’s filming us.”
Tang Mi:..........
Jiang Suichu:......
Liang Yi:..........
Tang Zi drank water and watched him pretending to be cool. It was clearly Lu Zhinian he was photographing.
Lu Zhinian didn't bother to pay attention to him. He sat opposite Jiang Suichu, reached for her tableware, took it apart, scalded it with boiling water and put it back again.
Jiang Suichu glanced at him quickly and quickly took the chopsticks: "...Thank you."
Tang Mi glanced at Lu Zhinian, clicked her tongue twice in her heart, and then kicked Tang Zi who was opposite him.
Tang Zi was in pain and glared at her: "Why did you kick me?"
Tang Mi pushed the unopened tableware over and said, "Can you learn from Lu Zhinian? It's a bit gentlemanly."
………
Tang Zi glanced at Lu Zhinian and reluctantly opened the tableware for her.
After saying that, Tang Mi pushed Liang Yi's set of tableware to Pei Shuo: "You too, don't think about bragging every day. Help Liang Yi unpack the tableware."
Liang Yi hurriedly went to get the tableware: "I...I can do it myself."
The person sitting across from her was a famous figure in the school. Liang Yi had never raised her head since she entered the restaurant and sat down. She didn't dare to breathe. How dare she let Pei Shuo unpack the tableware for her.
Tang Mi took her hand and said to her: "Don't move. There is no reason for girls to do anything when boys and girls eat together."
Pei Shuo took the tableware one step ahead of her and said, "I'll do it, I'll do it."
Pei Shuo tore off the plastic film on the tableware and asked them, "By the way, you just said you were in some trouble. What happened?"
Tang Mi had sent them a message before, saying that she had encountered some trouble and had to come over later. She also asked them to order more dishes and bring one more person over.
Tang Mi glanced at Lu Zhinian, who was sitting diagonally across the street, "It's not because our schoolboy Lu's charm that has no place to be placed is too great."
Lu Zhinian was replying to Shu Yuan's message when he heard something about him and raised his eyelids to look over.
Tang Mi looked at him and said, "Sun Feifei and Sui Sui are in the same class. I must have been unhappy when I saw you moving tables for Sui Sui today and causing trouble for Sui Sui."
Lu Zhinian frowned, obviously not remembering this person: "Who is Sun Feifei?"
What does it have to do with her to whom he carries the table?
Tang Mi twitched her lips, "Sun Feifei, don't you remember?"
Lu Zhinian was confused and said lightly: "I have no impression."
Tang Mi:…………
He didn't worry about who Sun Feifei was, but looked at Jiang Suichu: "Being bullied?"
Jiang Suchu shook his head, "No, there was just a quarrel."
After hearing this, Tang Mi defended her, "Why not? She almost attacked you." If she hadn't taken action in time, Sun Feifei would have definitely taken action.
"Do it?!" Pei Shuo put down Liang Yi's tableware with a bang.
Liang Yi was startled and quickly reached out to grab the plate that was almost thrown off the table.
Pei Shuo: "Sui Sui, did Sun Feifei hit you? Where did she hit you? Are you injured?"
"No, no." Jiang Suchu waved his hands quickly and said, "She didn't hit me, there was just a little argument. And Mi Tang came over from behind, so she didn't dare to do anything to me."
Pei Shuo was worried and told her: "Sui Sui, this Sun Feifei is not a good person. If she dares to bully you, you must tell A Nian and me."
"Yeah." Jiang Suichu nodded and asked, "Do you know her?"
She looked at Lu Zhinian, and from what Tang Mi said, it seemed like Sun Feifei liked Lu Zhinian.
"I know you. Why don't you know me?" Tang Zi glanced at Lu Zhinian and asked with a smile, "Hey, you really don't remember Sun Feifei?"
Lu Zhinian frowned and glanced at him, but said nothing.
Pei Shuo took over the words: "I just blocked you in the alley behind the school to confess my love to you in the second grade of junior high school, how strong... uh... uh uh..."
"Shut up!" Lu Zhinian put his arm around Pei Shuo's neck and covered his mouth. She looked at him with warning eyes and gritted her teeth in his ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "If you dare to tell me, I will tell Uncle Pei about your participation in the professional league."
Tang Zi and Tang Mi both laughed tacitly when they saw this, while Jiang Suchu and Liang Yi were the only ones who looked confused.
Strong...what?
Jiang Suichu turned to look at Tang Mi with a question mark on his face.
Lu Zhinian looked straight at Tang Mi like a cold arrow, with a strong warning in his eyes.
Tang Mi avoided his gaze, pretended to cough, and said, "It's nothing. It's just that Sun Feifei liked A Nian. When she was in the second grade of junior high school, she blocked A Nian in an alley and forced him to confess her feelings to her."
Jiang Suchu glanced at Lu Zhinian.
is that so? Why did she feel that it was so much more than just confessing her love?
Tang Mi smoothed things over for him and said with a smile: "Sun Feifei is quite unlucky to fall in love with you. She is chasing you so shockingly, but you don't even remember her name."
She was sure that Lu Zhinian remembered Sun Feifei, but he just couldn't remember her name.
Sun Feifei comes from a well-off family and is pretty. She ranks among the top ten in a Chinese high school for appearance. She just didn't study well. When she was in junior high school, she had a group of followers behind her, and she also interacted with some gangsters outside the school. She was the eldest sister in the school, and many people were afraid of her.
Everyone in the school knew that she liked Lu Zhinian. She had been writing love letters and giving him snacks since the first day of junior high school, but Lu Zhinian never looked at her in the eyes from beginning to end.
Until the second semester of the second grade of junior high school, one day after school, Sun Feifei called her brother she met outside school and blocked Lu Zhinian in the alley behind No. 1 Middle School and confessed her love to him in public. But Lu Zhinian remained indifferent from beginning to end, never even looking at her. Then Sun Feifei got angry and rushed towards Lu Zhinian, hugging his neck and trying to kiss him. Fortunately, Lu Zhinian reacted quickly and turned his head to push her away, so she didn't succeed.
Since then, Sun Feifei has been on Lu Zhinian's blacklist forever. If he hadn't hit the girl, he almost couldn't control it that day.
Lu Zhinian frowned in disgust when he thought of Sun Feifei's face. He let go of Pei Shuo and said calmly: "There is no need for irrelevant people to remember."
Pei Shuo was almost choked to death. As soon as Lu Zhinian let go of his hand, he took a big breath of air. Suddenly a chubby hand appeared in front of him, holding a glass of water.
Liang Yi's eyes dodge, not daring to look at him, "Drink some water...slow down."
Just when he was about to look for water to drink, Pei Shuo took the water glass and showed his big white teeth: "Thank you, you are really my lifesaver."
Liang Yi: "...You're welcome."
She lowered her head and curled the corners of her mouth, her voice sounding like a mosquito or a fly. Pei Shuo was drinking water and didn't hear her at all.
There wasn't much time at noon, so the meal was eaten quickly.
After it was over, they went back to school together and passed by a milk tea shop. Pei Shuo asked for milk tea.
Tang Zi: "Be careful and you gain weight again."
Tang Mi also said: "That's right, don't forget how hard it was for you to lose weight."
Pei Shuo held a cup of pearl milk tea with 30% sugar and said, "Now I run ten kilometers at night every night, do a hundred push-ups, and fifty pull-ups. These calories can at best be used to replenish my physical strength."
Liang Yi bit the straw and didn't dare to drink after hearing what he said. He is in such good shape and does so much exercise every day, but he is so fat but he only thinks about eating every day.
Jiang Suichu clicked his tongue, "Can you handle doing so much exercise?"
Pei Shuo: "If you can bear it, then where can you go? Besides, Anian is stronger than me. He swims several laps every morning."
Jiang Suichu looked up at Lu Zhinian. No wonder he was so strong now. She couldn't help but think of the solidness of his chest on the day of the opening ceremony.
Pei Shuo said, "Your Uncle Pei wants me to inherit his mantle, so he's training me here in advance."
Jiang Suchu didn't expect that Uncle Pei actually wanted Pei Shuo to be a policeman. She looked at Pei Shuo and asked him, "Do you want to be a policeman?"
Perhaps because of her father's affairs, she felt a little repulsive. She didn't want Pei Shuo to do such a dangerous job.
Pei Shuo was stunned for a moment, then smiled and rubbed her head: "Imagine, how cool it would be to be a police officer."
Jiang Suichu lowered his eyes and said nothing.
She didn't think it was very cool. She only remembered the worry in her mother's eyes every time her father went on a mission when she was a child, and the way her father hesitated to speak when he looked at her.
Pei Shuo watched her eyes dim a little, patted her head gently, and bent down to look into her eyes.
He said to her firmly: "Suisui, I will definitely become a good policeman. Do you believe me?"
Jiang Suchu looked at Pei Shuo with tears in his eyes. She looked at the big boy in front of her who was much taller than herself, and seemed to see Pei Shuo, who was still chubby when he was six years old, through time and space.
He was the same way. On the day of his father's funeral, he stood in front of her and held her chubby hand, saying: "Suisui, I will protect you from now on, you believe me."
At that time, Lu Zhinian was standing next to her, holding her other hand tightly.
Jiang Suichu nodded and said seriously: "I believe it!"
Lu Zhinian was holding a glass of lemonade in his hand but was not drinking it. He was looking at his mobile phone and swiping his fingers as if he was chatting with someone.
Just then, a call came in, and he answered, "Mom."
Jiang Suichu looked at his mobile phone quickly.
Aunt Shuyuan?
Lu Zhinian felt her gaze and mouthed to her silently: "My mother."
Shu Yuan on the other end of the phone said: "A Nian, I have ten minutes to get to your school."
Lu Zhinian: "Well, I'll wait for you at the school gate."
Aunt Shuyuan is coming to school?
She kept looking at his phone.
Lu Zhinian remained calm and quietly turned the volume on his phone to the maximum. In this way, even if it is not broadcast, Shu Yuan's voice can be heard from Jiang Suchu's distance.
Sure enough, the next second Jiang Suichu heard a familiar voice coming from the other end of the phone.
Shu Yuan: "A-Nian, does your classmate have a deep scar? Although this scar removal cream is effective, it won't be very effective if the scar is too deep."
Aunt Shu Yuan's words were still as gentle as in her memory, and Jiang Suchu's eyes instantly turned red.
She missed Aunt Shuyuan so much.
Lu Zhinian looked at Jiang Suchu. The places on her neck and hands scratched by Jiang Mingzhu had scabbed over and looked much better than at the beginning.
He remembered a relatively deep gash on her neck.
Lu Zhinian raised his hand to push aside Jiang Suchu's hair and turned his head to look at the wound on her neck, only to see the crimson eyes at the end of her eyes.
He was stunned for a moment and said to the other end of the phone: "Fortunately, it's not very deep."
Shu Yuan: "That's good. This girl can't leave scars on her body."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhinian gently pressed his thumb on the end of her eye, his fingertips feeling moist and hot.
He bent down to look at her and asked her in a low voice: "Do you want to meet my mother?"
Jiang Suchu looked at him with red eyes and nodded slowly.
"But..." She hadn't figured out what to do yet.
Lu Zhinian understood what she was thinking, and he said, "If you're not ready yet, how about you stand not far away and take a look?"
Jiang Suchu nodded repeatedly, "Okay."
As long as she could take a look at Aunt Shu Yuan from a distance, she would be satisfied.
When he arrived at the school gate, Pei Shuo went back to No. 4 Middle School first. Tang Zi, Tang Mi and Liang Yi also realized what was going on and returned to the classroom first.
Jiang Suichu stood under the umbrella of the security booth, looking forward to the direction where Lu Zhinian said Aunt Shuyuan would come.
Soon, a white Bentley parked in front of the school. A tall figure in a coffee-colored one-piece professional suit got out of the car, wearing black high-heeled shoes about eight centimeters tall.
Shu Yuan was dressed in a neat and sassy professional girl outfit, and her outstanding temperament attracted students at the school gate to turn around as soon as she got out of the car.
Jiang Suchu was also stunned. Even though Shu Yuan's face cannot be seen clearly with sunglasses on, Shu Yuan now exudes the temperament of a female elite.
Shu Yuan walked up to Lu Zhinian and looked at her son, who was a head taller than her: "Have you eaten?"
Lu Zhinian nodded, "Yes. Where is the medicine?"
"...Here." Shu Yuan took out the ointment from her bag and gave it to him, "Is Xiaomi injured?"
She knew very well what her son was like. There were only a few good female classmates around her, and the only one she knew was Tang Mi. When he heard that a female classmate was injured, and asked her if she had any useful scar removal cream, all she could think of was Tang Mi.
Lu Zhinian secretly glanced at Jiang Suchu, who was not far away, and hummed noncommittally.
He looked at the sunglasses on Shu Yuan's face, hesitated for a while and said, "Mom~"
"Huh?" Shu Yuan was stunned for a moment because his mother's cry was a bit...weird.
Lu Zhinian raised his hand and poked his brow bone, and said with a somewhat uncomfortable expression: "Take off your sunglasses. I haven't seen you for several days. I... miss you."
He spoke the last few words quickly and slurred. After saying that, she blushed and turned her head, not daring to look at Shu Yuan.
Shu Yuan was stunned by his words. Lu Zhinian had been an emotionally reserved child since he was a child. Even when I was little, I would never say things like missing her or loving her.
The company was busy with business during this period. She and Lu Shenghua were flying around the country and abroad, and it was indeed a long time since she could spend time with him at home.
Thinking of this, Shu Yuan felt very guilty and felt that she had wronged her son.
Shu Yuan took a deep breath, took off her sunglasses, and reached out to touch her son's head: "Son, mommy apologizes to you. Your dad and I have been busy with work and have neglected you during this time."
Lu Zhinian: "...I don't blame you."
Shu Yuan smiled, feeling happy that her son had grown up.
Lu Zhinian felt a little scared when he saw Shu Yuan's loving expression.
"Mom, I'll go back to the classroom first."
"Well, go ahead." Shu Yuan said, "Mom will make you your favorite typhoon shelter fried crab tonight."
"Well, Mom, drive slower. Bye."
Lu Zhinian took the ointment and walked to the school gate. Shu Yuan did not leave in a hurry and stood there looking at him. He couldn't just call Jiang Suchu, so he could only wink at her and signal her to follow him.
Before entering the school gate, Jiang Suichu turned around reluctantly and met Shu Yuan's eyes.
It was a meal for both of them.
Jiang Suichu's heart suddenly jumped into his throat. Fortunately, Shu Yuan didn't stop for much and turned around and walked towards the car.
"Let's go, stop looking." Lu Zhinian snapped his fingers in her ear and looked outside. Shu Yuan's car had already driven away.
He gave her the ointment: "You apply this ointment on the scar, twice a day."
"For me?" Jiang Suichu looked at him blankly.
Lu Zhinian glanced at her and said, "Otherwise."
"...Thank you." Jiang Suichu took the ointment, feeling sour and warm in his heart.
