As soon as they left the office, they saw Pei Shuo, Tang Mi, Tang Zi and Liang Yi guarding the door.
When Pei Shuo heard that Jiang Suchu was being bullied, he skipped class and ran over from No. 4 Middle School.
"Aunt Yuan." Pei Shuo greeted Shu Yuan first, then ran to Jiang Suchu and said nervously: "Suisui, are you okay?"
"Are there any injuries?"
Jiang Suchu smiled at him and shook his head, saying, "I'm not injured, I'm just wet."
Pei Shuo looked at her pale face and secretly clenched his fists.
Tang Zi and Tang Mi often went to Lu Zhinian's house to play, and she also knew Shu Yuan, so she quickly called for someone.
Shu Yuan nodded, turned to look at Jiang Suchu, her eyes were slightly red.
She didn't have time to take a good look at her in the office just now, so she took a closer look at her now.
How could he be so thin!
She was in a meeting at the company an hour ago, and she couldn't believe it when she received a call from Lu Zhinian. Lu Zhinian simply talked about her current situation on the phone. She felt unspeakably uncomfortable when she learned that Jiang Suchu had not been having a good life these past years.
Shu Yuan reached out and touched Jiang Suichu's cheek, her voice choked slightly: "Why don't you come to see Aunt Yuan in Yun City?"
"I'm sorry."
Jiang Suichu's nose felt sore and he lowered his head and did not dare to look at Aunt Shuyuan.
"Silly boy, why are you sorry?"
Shu Yuan took her skinny hand, gently rubbed the scar on it, and pretended to blame: "Sui Bao, you haven't missed Aunt Yuan all these years?"
When Jiang Suichu heard this, he quickly raised his head, shook his head and said, "No, I miss you very much."
I thought about it when I first went to Xuancheng with my mother, and when I was taken back to Yunshi by my grandma, I thought about crying every time.
But, what can I do?
"I...I'm just afraid that you won't remember me..." She murmured in a low voice, biting her lips and crying.
When Shu Yuan heard what she said, she felt angry and distressed. She hugged her into her arms and cried, "Nonsense! How could Aunt Yuan forget you."
This embrace has been long gone. When Jiang Suichu smelled the familiar fragrance of Aunt Yuan, his tears instantly burst into tears.
In this way, the two of them hugged each other and cried in the crowded corridor.
Tang Mi and Liang Yi were infected and their eyes were red.
Lu Zhinian looked at the two of them, feeling sour in his heart.
Pei Shuo's eyes were also red. He smiled and put his hand on Lu Zhinian's shoulder and said, "It seems that your position in Aunt Shu Yuan's heart is not guaranteed."
Lu Zhinian glanced at him and said with a smile, "Aren't you the same?"
His mother knows that Jiang Suichu is in Yun City, which means that his father and Uncle Pei will know about it soon. Since childhood, as long as Jiang Suichu was around, the two of them seemed to be picked up, and only Jiang Suichu was their biological child.
Pei Shuo thought about his father's excitement just now when he learned that Jiang Suichu had called him when he was in the first middle school. If he hadn't stopped me, I would have arrived at school early.
Seeing that the two of them showed no signs of stopping, Lu Zhinian couldn't stand it anymore. Mainly because Jiang Suchu's clothes were still wet, and he was worried that she would catch a cold if she didn't change them.
He stepped forward and coughed a few times. Shu Yuan and Jiang Suichu looked at her with tearful eyes.
Shu Yuan: "What's wrong?"
Lu Zhinian: "...Mom, her clothes are still wet."
If he didn't mention Jiang Suichu, he would have almost forgotten about it.
Shu Yuan, too, was so carried away by the emotion of meeting again after a long absence that she even forgot that she was still wet. Shu Yuan tightened Lu Zhinian's school uniform around her body, and then reached out to smooth Jiang Suchu's hair from his forehead.
"Sui Bao, do you have any clothes to change? If you don't have me, go ask your teacher for leave. We can go home and change."
Jiang Suchu noticed that she said "let's go home."
Although Jiang Suchu's body was cold, her heart was warm. She took Shu Yuan's hand and said, "There are clothes in the dormitory. I will go back to the dormitory to change later."
Lu Zhinian noticed that her voice was trembling a little when she spoke.
"Mom, we haven't eaten yet, and there's nothing to eat in the cafeteria now. Please take me out to buy some food."
Shu Yuan heard that they hadn't eaten yet and said, "How about I take you out to eat?"
Lu Zhinian: "It's almost time for self-study in the evening. I don't have enough time. I'll just buy some and bring it back."
Shu looked at his watch. It was almost half past five, and it was really too late to go out to eat.
Lu Zhinian turned around and called Tang Mi and Liang Yi: "You two go back to the dormitory with Sui Sui and change your clothes."
Tang Mi: "Oh, okay."
Tang Mi nodded and Liang Yi was on one side, holding Jiang Suichu's arm.
Shu Yuan held Jiang Suichu's hand and didn't let go, "Suibao, tomorrow is the weekend. Come home with Anian after class in the evening."
"Ah?" Jiang Suichu didn't react for a while.
Shu Yuan was stunned for a moment when she saw her reaction, and asked: "Do I have to live on campus during the weekend?"
Lu Zhinian told her that she usually stayed away from home on weekends and lived in the school dormitory. She was thinking that today was Friday and she would have a day off tomorrow. She didn't know she was in Yun City before, but now she knew how it was possible for her to live alone in the school on weekends.
Jiang Suichu understood, nodded, and said, "The teacher at the beginning of the semester has made statistics on the situation of living on campus during the weekends. You must live on campus during the weekends you signed."
"That's it." Shu Yuan said, "It's okay. I'll tell the principal later."
Without waiting for Jiang Suchu to say anything, she urged her to go back to the dormitory and change clothes.
After Jiang Suchu left, Shu Yuan put away the gentleness on her face and looked at Lu Zhinian and Pei Shuo.
"You two come with me."
Lu Zhinian and Pei Shuo looked at each other, understanding each other tacitly.
About to be questioned.
Shu Yuan drove here by herself, and Lu Zhinian and Pei Shuo were sitting in the back seat of the car.
"Which one of you will say it first?" Shu Yuan drove the car and looked at them in the rearview mirror.
Pei Shuo has always liked to interact with adults since he was a child. He smiled and said, "What are you talking about, Aunt Yuan."
Shu Yuan: "Shuoshuo, don't get along with Auntie."
"Why didn't you two tell us about Sui Sui's stay in Yun City?" Shu Yuan said in a serious tone, a little angry.
Pei Shuo wisely put away the smile on his face.
Shu Yuan glanced at Lu Zhinian again: "Especially you, A-Nian, Suisui is in No. 1 Middle School, and you didn't mention it at all. Don't you know that your parents have been looking for the whereabouts of Suisui and Aunt Liyun these years? "
Lu Zhinian knew why his mother was angry.
Ever since Aunt Liyun took Jiang Suichu to Xuancheng, she had lost contact with them. Uncle Pei and his father have never stopped looking for them these years.
Lu Zhinian thought of Jiang Suichu's words. He knew that she must have experienced a lot of bad things over the years, and she was not ready to speak out yet.
He was worried that Shu Yuan would ask her directly.
"Mom, please tell Dad and Uncle Pei so that they don't ask about what happened in Suisui these years."
Just as they arrived at the supermarket, Shu Yuan stopped the car and looked back at him: "Does this mean Sui Sui?"
Lu Zhinian and Pei Shuo nodded.
Lu Zhinian: "When she is willing to talk, I believe she will take the initiative to tell us."
Pei Shuo also said quickly: "Yes, Aunt Yuan, let's give Suisui some time."
Shu Yuan recalled Jiang Suichu's appearance just now, and she could tell without asking that she must have suffered a lot over the years.
She thought for a moment and then said: "Liyun, she...?"
Lu Zhinian knew that Shu Yuan should have guessed it. He said, "Sui Sui didn't elaborate. He just said that he has been living with Grandma Jiang in the countryside these years."
Shu Yuan: "Countryside?"
Pei Shuo nodded and continued: "It's Muyang Town below Suyang County. Aunt Yuan, do you know this place?"
Shu Yuan shook her head and said, "Suyang County knows about it, but Muyang Town has never heard of it."
Lu Zhinian: "This should be Uncle Jiang's hometown."
"It should be so." Shu Yuan wasn't too sure.
Jiang Zhiwei is an anti-drug policeman, and all information is kept confidential.
Pei Shuo scratched his head and said with a smile: "Aunt Yuan, actually we just found out that Suisui is in Yun City."
"Then you didn't tell us right away!" Shu Yuan glanced at the two people in the back row from the rearview mirror.
…
Pei Shuo sat down calmly and whispered in Lu Zhinian's ear: "Did you see that, in less than an hour, Aunt Yuan has no sight of us anymore."
His voice was not low, the car was quiet, and Shu Yuan heard every word.
She smiled and said angrily: "Nonsense!"
"Not only do I not see you two in my eyes, I also don't see you two in my heart." After saying that, she opened the car door and got out of the car.
After all, she was happy to know that Jiang Suichu was in Yun City.
Back in the dormitory, Jiang Suichu changed out of his wet clothes and was about to collect water for washing when the phone rang.
Tang Mi and Liang Yi sat on her bed. Tang Mi picked up her mobile phone and handed it to her: "Sui Sui, Lu Zhinian's phone number."
"?" What are you doing on the phone?
Jiang Suchu wiped the water on his hands and took the phone, "Hello."
"Suibao."
Jiang Suchu was stunned for a moment. The voice on the other end of the phone was not Lu Zhinian's, but Shu Yuan's.
"Aunt Yuan?"
"Hey, treasure." Shu Yuan was standing in front of the cashier and said, "Put the clothes you changed into a bag and I will take them home to wash later."
Jiang Suichu glanced at the dirty clothes in the basin and said, "Aunt Yuan, I can just wash them myself."
Shu Yuan refused: "It's so cold to wash your hands in this cold weather. Be obedient and take it home to wash it."
Lu Zhinian told her that the dormitory of No. 1 Middle School was not equipped with a washing machine, only the one with public coin operation on the first floor.
She didn't think about what to say, but Lu Zhinian's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Do you want to eat the croissant?"
"eat."
"chocolate?"
"good."
Jiang Suchu answered subconsciously, then froze.
Lu Zhinian slightly raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Well, pack up the clothes and take them to the classroom. We will go back in a while."
"oh."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Suchu came back to his senses, but the topic changed so unexpectedly.
After Lu Zhinian hung up the phone, he curled his lips silently, took two croissants and a bottle of hot milk to check out.
Shu Yuan was waiting in front of the cashier. She saw what he was holding and asked, "Did you buy it for Suibao?"
Lu Zhinian didn't deny it and just said yes.
Shu Yuan looked at her son, who was a head taller than herself, and suddenly felt like a child in our family had just grown up.
Just now he suddenly said that there was no washing machine in the school dormitory, and it took her a long time to realize his intention. So he asked him to call Suibao and ask her not to do laundry.
Now when buying food, the others just pick up two pieces of bread and drink. Only Suibao is different, so I have to ask specifically.
She smiled. Her son had been cold-faced, reserved and steady since he was a child. Only when facing Sui Bao will he show the emotions that he should have at this age.
…
In just one class, almost everyone in the school knew that Jiang Suchu had been in a relationship with Lu Zhinian and Pei Shuo since they were young.
This was mainly due to Lu Zhinian and Pei Shuo posting a post in Tieba under their real names.
The two had agreed upon it and each sent a photo.
In the two photos, three children are crowded in front of the cake, with cream smeared on their faces. Jiang Suichu is sitting in the middle with a birthday hat on his head. Pei Shuo and Lu Zhinian sat on both sides of her, holding her with one arm and gesturing with scissors with the other.
Pei Shuo was very fat when he was a child, and he smiled so hard that his teeth could not be seen. Lu Zhinian was no different from now. He didn't smile very much and pursed his lips in an inexplicable deepness.
The two photos are almost the same except for the background and a row of small letters at the bottom.
The person sitting in the middle is Jiang Suchu. No matter whose birthday it is, the birthday hat must be on Jiang Suchu's head.
The two photos were taken on Lu Zhinian's fifth birthday and Pei Shuo's sixth birthday respectively.
Pei Shuo's hair is "Eternal Princess Suisui"
But what Lu Zhinian sent was——[keep yOUr head Up prinCeSS,fOre yOUr CrOWn fallS.]
(Dear princess, raise your head and don’t let the crown fall.)
After returning home, Shu Yuan was still a little worried. She was afraid that Jiang Suichu would catch a cold, so she asked her aunt at home to make ginger tea and send it to school.
During the evening class, Lu Zhinian received a message from Shu Yuan.
"A-Nian, I asked my aunt to make some ginger tea. You can pick it up at the school gate and give it to Suisui."
The message was sent twenty minutes ago and I didn’t see it during class. Lu Zhinian estimated that Aunt Wu would be arriving soon. Just as he was about to call her, he received a message from Aunt Wu saying that she was at the school gate.
"Okay, I'll go down right now."
Lu Zhinian trotted all the way to the school gate and saw Aunt Wu carrying a bag from a distance.
"Aunt Wu."
"Hey." Aunt Wu saw him, smiled, handed the bag to his hand, and said, "This ginger tea has just been brewed. You must drink it while it's hot for the best effect."
Lu Zhinian took the bag and nodded: "Well, I'll go back to the classroom first. Aunt Wu, please pay attention to safety on the way back."
"Okay, go ahead. I'm leaving." Aunt Wu smiled and waved her hand.
Lu Zhinian did not go directly to the teaching building, but went to the canteen with ginger tea. Jiang Suichu didn't like the taste of ginger, so it was probably more uncomfortable for her to drink ginger tea than to drink medicine directly.
He thought about it and decided to buy some sugar so that she could taste it after she finished drinking it.
Classroom one was extremely quiet today, and not many people went out even after class was over. Everyone was sitting in their seats, looking in the direction of Jiang Suchu from time to time.
Jiang Suchu was lying on the table, his lips were white, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead.
Liang Yi got her a cup of hot water and probed her forehead uneasily: "Sui Sui, let me accompany you to the infirmary. You have a fever."
Jiang Suichu closed his eyes tightly because of the discomfort, and said weakly: "No, I will ask for leave and go back to the dormitory to sleep after this class is over."
The last class was English and she didn't want to delay.
In fact, Jiang Suichu started to have a fever since the first class of evening self-study, but it was not serious. I've been sick a lot over the years, and every time I just drink some medicine and sleep under the quilt, I'm fine. It's just that this time my aunt happened to be here, and my stomach hurt more than every previous dysmenorrhea due to the cold.
She felt like her lower abdomen had been run over by a car, and the pain was so painful that she could hardly breathe.
She closed her eyes, tears leaking from the ends of her eyes.
Why does it hurt so much?
Why don't even the painkillers work?
She thought to herself, hummed twice in discomfort, and buried her head completely in her arms.
Then, big tears fell on the desk.
"Dad...Dad...Dad..." Her lips moved, silently calling for Daddy.
"No, you have to go to the hospital." Liang Yi was a little frightened when he looked at her pale face, and said anxiously: "Do you know you are shaking!"
Jiang Suchu felt a buzzing in her ears. She was so confused that she couldn't hear the sounds around her at all.
Liang Yi couldn't control that much anymore, so she thought about going directly to the head teacher to ask for leave.
As soon as he walked out of the classroom, he ran into Lu Zhinian.
Seeing Lu Zhinian, Liang Yi forgot to find the head teacher for a moment and told Lu Zhinian immediately.
"Lu Zhinian, she is sick in Suisui and has a fever. But she just won't go to the infirmary." For some reason, she always felt that Jiang Suichu would listen to Lu Zhinian.
After Lu Zhinian heard what Liang Yi said, his eyes sank, and he strode into the Class 1 classroom regardless of the bell that had already rang.
Liang Yi followed him.
As soon as he entered the classroom, he saw a little one lying on the desk in the third row by the window.
He walked quickly to Jiang Suchu and put the bag containing ginger tea aside. He knelt down and carefully held her shoulders, calling her softly: "Suisui."
Her whole body was hot, and Lu Zhinian could feel the scalding temperature even through her clothes.
But she was shaking.
Jiang Suchu had no strength at all, so Lu Zhinian helped her up from the desk. She was so weak that she only opened her eyes for a moment before falling limply on Lu Zhinian's shoulders.
Lu Zhinian was startled, then slowly placed his hand on her back and patted her gently.
"Dad...it's hard every year."
Jiang Suchu crawled into his arms unconsciously, pressing her hot forehead against his neck. His hot breath hit his neck, and her low, weak voice sounded in his ears.
It was obvious that she was burned out.
"What's going on?" As soon as Guan Yanping entered the classroom, she saw everyone standing and didn't even take out the books for class.
"Didn't you hear the school bell?"
When the teacher came, the people who were still watching immediately returned to their seats.
"Lu Zhinian?" Guan Yanping saw Lu Zhinian only after they dispersed. She looked at Jiang Suchu, who was leaning on him, with a pale face.
She immediately put down the lesson plan and came over: "What's going on? Why are you sweating profusely."
Liang Yi quickly explained: "Teacher Guan, Jiang Suichu is sick. Classmate Lu is here to take her to the hospital."
Lu Zhinian picked up Jiang Suchu and looked at Guan Yanping. He wanted to apologize to the teacher for delaying her class. Before he could say anything, he heard Guan Yanping say: "Go, go, go. Look at how uncomfortable it is. Why didn't you ask for leave earlier?"
"Thank you, teacher." Lu Zhinian thanked Guan Yanping, and then said to Liang Yi, "Please help me ask your class teacher for leave after class."
