After that day, there seemed to be an impasse between the two.
After Jiang Suchu returned to school at the end of the weekend, the two of them basically didn't interact with each other except when eating, and it was unclear who was hiding from whom.
Although they didn't show it on their faces, both Pei Shuo and Tang Mi could tell that something was wrong between them.
At noon, Pei Shuo still went to No. 1 Middle School to have lunch with them. When queuing up for meals, Jiang Suchu and Tang Mi were in front, while Lu Zhinian stood behind Jiang Suchu with a calm expression.
There was no communication between the two, not even eye contact.
Tang Mi held Jiang Suchu's arm and asked her in a low voice: "What's wrong with you two?"
She had sensed something was wrong between the two of them since Monday. Although Lu Zhinian still brings her breakfast every day, and they also eat together at noon. However, there seemed to be something blocking the two of them, a very strange atmosphere.
Jiang Suichu was in a daze. He let out a soft sigh and stared at the ground, "Nothing."
Seeing that she didn't want to talk, Tang Mi didn't continue to ask any more questions and consciously changed the subject.
Pei Shuo poked Lu Zhinian, leaned into his ear, and asked, "Did you and Suisui quarrel?"
Lu Zhinian had a straight face, glanced at the back of his head in front of him, and said calmly: "No."
Pei Shuo didn't believe it, so he made a sound and said, "It would be weird if she didn't. Where did you offend her?"
Lu Zhinian glanced at him and said, "Can't she be the one who offended me?"
Pei Shuo glanced at him and acted like a big brother, "Then just let her go. It's not like you don't know Princess Suisui's bad temper. She's very sharp. Don't really make her angry then, you're not To coax.”
When they were young, the two of them had a tantrum, and Pei Shuo was the one caught in the middle. The key is that he can't go to Jiang Suichu to say something bad about Lu Zhinian. Because it won't take long for Lu Zhinian to coax Jiang Suichu into doing well, and then Jiang Suchu will tell him a story and bite him back.
Therefore, he did not dare to ask Jiang Suichu.
Lu Zhinian looked at the person in front of him, lowered his tongue to his cheeks, and said nothing. His mind was filled with what she said that day, and she actually asked him to leave her alone in the future.
Humph~ He sneered secretly in his heart.
This person has been in his life for as long as he can remember, and he has known to protect her since he was a child. It can be said that being kind to her and protecting her has become his instinct at some point. Just like that day at the hot pot restaurant, he couldn't think of so much in his mind, so he instinctively stretched out his hand to block her in front of her.
He knew that she had been closed off for too long and always protected herself in a hard shell.
It doesn't matter if she can't get out, I will go to her.
As long as she doesn't push him out.
Soon, Tang Mi and Jiang Suichu were waiting in line. When Tang Mi finished preparing the rice and took the plate, she accidentally got oil stains on her hands. She handed the dinner plate to Tang Zi and asked him to help carry it.
"I'm going to buy some wrapping paper. You can help me carry it over."
Tang Zi took the dinner plate and said, "Then help me buy a bottle of Coke."
Tang Mi rolled her eyes at him, he was really good at taking advantage of the opportunity to blackmail. She asked Jiang Suichu, "Suisui, what do you want to drink?"
Jiang Suchu shook his head.
She then looked at Pei Shuo, who was climbing on Lu Zhinian's shoulder, and asked, "Where are you two? What do you want to drink?"
Lu Zhinian looked cold and said not to drink like Jiang Suchu.
Pei Shuo grinned: "Iced black tea, thank you Xiao Mi'er."
Huh~ Tang Mi shuddered, "Don't call me that, it's disgusting!"
…
Jiang Suichu ordered some meat and two vegetables, and was about to swipe her card. When her pockets were empty, she remembered that Lu Zhinian had helped her prepare meals before, and the meal card was still with him.
She pursed her lips and turned back to look at him, "My meal card."
Lu Zhinian glanced at her lightly, feeling helpless when he saw her helpless eyes. He took out his meal card from his pocket and stuck it on the card machine hanging above her head.
Di——
The card swipe was successful.
Before she could pick up the plate handed over by the cook, Lu Zhinian had already taken it over to her. Then he swiped his meal card again and ordered a few dishes that Jiang Suichu didn't order.
Seeing that she was still standing there, Lu Zhinian held two dinner plates in his hands and raised his chin at her, motioning for her to move forward.
Jiang Suchu followed him, bit his lip, and whispered, "Are you still angry?"
She knew her words that day were a bit hurtful. However, she couldn't look at him with peace of mind because she was hurt.
Finding an empty seat in a row, Lu Zhinian put down his plate and looked at her, "When did I get angry?"
Jiang Sui pursed his lips lightly, "On the weekend... that day."
Lu Zhinian picked up the chopsticks, picked out the shredded ginger in the dish, and looked at her: "Oh, then why do you think I'm angry?"
Jiang Suichu watched as he picked aside the shredded ginger in her dish little by little, and then pushed the plate in front of her.
She lowered her eyes and whispered, "Lu Zhinian, you don't have to do this for me."
Lu Zhinian looked at her, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Huh? Look at me and say."
Jiang Suchu's lips turned white from being bitten. She slowly raised her head and looked at him and said, "I have never blamed anyone. You and Pei Shuo, you don't have to be so nice to me."
As well as Aunt Yuan and Uncle Lu and Uncle Pei, everyone was careful to be kind to her, as if they were making up for her.
Snapped-
Lu Zhinian slapped his chopsticks on the table, looked straight at her, and said with hurt eyes: "Jiang Suichu, so you think I..." He paused, "...we did this because of Uncle Jiang's affairs, to you Is it just to alleviate the guilt in our hearts?”
"Is that what you think?"
Jiang Suchu was frightened by his appearance. She was stunned, wringing her fingers helplessly, and said in a low voice: "No, I didn't think so."
She just didn't want everyone to be stuck in that thing.
Pei Shuo saw Lu Zhinian's cold expression from a distance and trotted over with a dinner plate.
He sat down next to Lu Zhinian, "Well, well, I want you to tell her why you are so mean to her."
Then he said to Jiang Suichu: "Don't argue with him, Suisui. I'll tell Aunt Yuan when I get home from school and ask her to take care of him."
Jiang Suichu sniffed and said quickly: "No, don't tell Aunt Yuan. He didn't mean anything to me."
Pei Shuo:......
He just knew it.
Tang Mi came back after buying water, glanced at the two of them, and then winked at Pei Shuo.
Pei Shuo shook his head silently and quietly waved his hand to signal her not to ask.
Tang Zi put down his plate, glanced at the people, and asked strangely: "Why are you not talking?"
Pei Shuo pulled him to sit down and said with a smile: "...Eat first."
"...Oh...Oh..." Tang Zi glanced at Lu Zhinian, who had a straight face, and then at Jiang Suichu, who lowered his head and plucked rice, and seemed to react.
The cafeteria was noisy, but their table was extremely quiet.
Jiang Suichu lowered his head and stuffed rice grains into his mouth.
It tastes like chewing wax.
Lu Zhinian raised his thin eyelids and looked at the opposite side. Look at her cold white and thin chin, chewing slowly and moving it.
well…
He sighed in his heart, but couldn't help but put a few slices of beef on her plate.
Jiang Suchu was stunned for a moment and looked up at him.
Lu Zhinian looked at her and said helplessly: "Don't be picky about food, eat more."
Jiang Suichu couldn't explain what it was like. He only felt that the tip of his nose was a little sore and his eyes were swollen and painful.
She picked up a piece of beef and put it into her mouth, making a slight trembling 'um' sound.
