September finally arrived, and R University started classes on September 7th. Jiang Sui did not study at R University in her previous life because her father’s illness had not been discovered at that time. Now that things had changed, she naturally chose to stay in R City.
The university was not far from Chi Yan’s home. On the morning of the 7th, Chi Yan said, “I’ll take you there.”
He no longer wore a formal suit, but instead wore a casual dark blue shirt.
Jiang Sui sat in the passenger seat. She was wearing shorts today. Her long legs were slender and straight, looking dazzlingly white in the morning sun. Jiang Sui had tied her hair into a ponytail, looking very young and energetic.
She was good-looking and loved to laugh. So sometimes when she went to the hospital, she attracted everyone’s attention.
Chi Yan was steering the wheel. When they were almost at school, he heard her ask, “You can choose whether to live on campus or not. Should I live on campus?”
Chi Yan tightened his fingers. If Jiang Sui chose to live in school, her relationship with him would be almost meaningless. He knew that at this time, even for the sake of the Third Master, he should reject her coldly and mercilessly. However, he turned his head to look at her.
The girl’s face was delicate and beautiful in the early morning of September, like a flower just budding. She was looking at him without a trace of lamentation or dejection in her eyes, as if every day was a new hope.
She was only eighteen years old, what a good age, apart from Jiang Shuisheng’s matter, she should have a good life. It should be completely different from his life of struggling and walking on the edge of a knife.
If Jiang Shuisheng’s illness wasn’t so difficult to treat, she wouldn’t have bothered to ask him for help. Just like when she had said she wouldn’t sell the house not long ago, Jiang Sui had the right to choose her own life.
He suddenly didn’t dare to be cruel anymore and said angrily: “You can live in the school.” As long as you remember to come back occasionally.
Jiang Sui tilted her head: “Do you know how to keep the tropical fish at home?”
Chi Yan: “Yes.”
She continued to ask: “What about the flowers on the balcony? Do you know how to grow gardenias?”
Chi Yan frowned. These were not things he was good at, but if Jiang Sui liked them very much, he would try his best to ensure they survived.
Jiang Sui blinked and said, “If you don’t know how to raise them, then I’d better not live in school and stay at home.”
Chi Yan stepped on the brakes. It had been raining outside, and the air was filled with the smell of grass. Chi Yan didn’t look at her and wanted to smoke a cigarette, but after a pause, he said, “Well, I don’t know how to raise one.”
Jiang Sui had already decided not to live on campus, so she didn’t bring much luggage with her.
She took her schoolbag and waved at him: “See you after school!” Jiang Sui had realized that Chi Yan treated her better day by day. Maybe even Chi Yan didn’t understand how focused and tolerant his eyes were just now.
Jiang Sui just asked on a whim, but she didn’t expect him to agree. She knew Chi Yan had brought her with him for other purposes, after all, judging from Shui Yang’s appearance, they also needed her help.
Jiang Sui was a little surprised, but she realized for the first time that this cold and even aloof man in her eyes really liked her.
And it was getting deeper day by day. What a terrible thing it was that he was getting attracted to her but he didn’t even know it.
Jiang Sui suddenly realized this fact and felt a little embarrassed. She didn’t dare to look at Chi Yan and ran quickly towards the school.
Chi Yan watched the girl disappear into the crowd. He remembered a year in high school when he followed Duan Ling and watched her blend into the crowd from afar just like this. Her voice faded, the background faded, and only her appearance gradually became vivid.
As he watched the laughter, he felt for the first time that he was very close to her, yet so far away.
Fortunately, she was by his side now.
….
R University required a week of military training, and Jiang Sui went to get the military training clothes first.
She was very good-looking, and when she went to collect her belongings, she attracted the attention of almost the entire orientation office.
An enthusiastic senior student asked her: “Have you found your dormitory building? Do you need me to help you carry your luggage and take you there?”
A friendly, teasing laugh rose behind him. Hearing this, the senior’s face turned a little red, but he still didn’t intend to give up and stopped moving.
Jiang Sui shook her head: “Thank you, senior. I don’t live on campus.”
The senior returned back with nothing, feeling a little disappointed. His classmate nudged him with his elbow: “She is so pretty, probably a lot of people are chasing her, maybe she has a boyfriend, let’s lower our standards, don’t expect this.”
The senior was very depressed, but some people, even if they knew it was a wall, couldn’t help but hit against it.
In addition to the orientation office, school clubs were also recruiting at this time.
As Jiang Sui walked along, students would come up to her with flyers and ask, “Would you like to join our Taekwondo Club, junior?”
“Let’s find out about the Go Club.”
“Are you coming to the dance club? I can tell from your figure that you are suitable for dancing.”
Jiang Sui didn’t have many interests and hobbies, and joining the student union or any club would take up a lot of her personal time, so she declined them all.
Suddenly, a pair of soft hands covered her eyes from behind, and the girl said excitedly: “Guess who I am!”
Fortunately, Jiang Sui’s reaction was still not that fast. So she calmed down before she could get frightened. She recognized the cheerful voice, and a smile appeared on her lips. She asked in surprise, “Chen Shujun?”
The hands loosened and the girl turned to face her. Her round face looked cute. It was indeed Chen Shujun.
Chen Shujun’s life was also happy and joyful. Chi Yiming may have been the only shadow in her entire girlhood.
Chen Shujun was so excited that she almost trembled when she spoke: “Oh my god, this is such a coincidence, I thought I was seeing things, but it really is you.”
Upon learning that Jiang Sui had also applied to the journalism department and was in the same class as her, Chen Shujun was overjoyed. What kind of fate could allow elementary and junior high school classmates to go to the same university?
Chen Shujun asked: “Sui Sui, didn’t you do very well in the exam? I really didn’t expect you to come to R University.” Although Jiang Sui was slow in doing homework in the past, she was more focused and patient than anyone else. Later, Chen Shujun heard that Jiang Sui’s grades had indeed improved, and she was happy for Jiang Sui. Chen Shujun failed the college entrance examination, but she didn’t expect to become classmates with Jiang Sui at R University.
Jiang Sui smiled and said, “My father is sick, so I stayed in R City to take care of him.”
