Chapter 126: Deceiving Uncle Sheng (24)
–
Shu Nuan was helping the owner’s wife in closing the shop, who couldn’t help but sigh at this moment .
“I wish my son had half your intelligence so he wouldn’t go to the private school in Qian City…”
Shu Nuan didn’t know how to console a person, much less give advice . She could only listen to the woman’s chanting while packing the things .
Fortunately, the owner’s wife finally let Shu Nuan go home to rest .
Shu Nuan went back to the inn, lit a lamp, and did her homework . Finally, she was so sleepy that she couldn’t help but climb into her bed to sleep .
The next day, Shu Nuan went to the academy . While taking a rest sitting under a tree, she talked to Wen Zhigu about Qi Yue asking for her help . In fact, he wasn’t the only one she wanted to help . After all, she could see that Wen Zhigu had not made any friends in the academy, having always been a loner . And Qi Yue and Su Hai were her good friends . Every time she had been bullied by Sheng Gu, they had jumped up to speak in her defense with great honor . Shu Nuan remembered these accounts well .
Wen Zhigu listened to her before turning silent for a while . She hadn’t expected that Shu Nuan would ask her to go out to play . But she was confused as to what to do .
A couple days ago, she’d been called by that man . He’d had his way with her, again and again, only letting her go once she couldn’t hold back from crying . Just because she’d disobeyed him, she’d been punished, making her unable to sleep well at night . So the next day, she’d asked Shu Nuan for her assignment to copy from . And then he’d punished her again . As for going out to have fun…
Therefore, Wen Zhigu’s first reaction was to shake her head and say, “Forget it . He won’t agree . ”
This was the expected answer . However, Shu Nuan did not force her .
But both of them hadn’t expected that at this moment a cold voice would come from behind them .
“What won’t I agree with?”
Wen Zhigu stood up, emotions fluctuating . Naturally, she saw that Ji Xubai stood behind them . She shook her and said, “Nothing . ”
Ji Xubai raised his eyebrows and looked at Shu Nuan . He wouldn’t force someone who didn’t want to speak, but he also wouldn’t let the matter go easily .
Shu Nuan was silent, choosing not to speak either .
Unexpectedly, Ji Xubai smiled and said, “That’s good . Wen Zhigu, you should communicate more with your classmates . Don’t always walk around alone . ”
When he said these words, he seemed like a teacher who was highly considerate of his students, gentle and attentive .
……
Wen Zhigu looked at him without an expression . She knew well the reason why she was always alone . Ji Xubai had made a grandiose statement, as though she wanted to isolate herself by choice .
However, Wen Zhigu did not say much in the end . She whispered, “Thank you, teacher . ”
Later, when Qi Yue heard that Wen Zhigu would be coming to the party, he was happier than he’d been upon getting into Class Nine . He gave Shu Nuan a compliment, and she felt really helpless towards him .
At this time, she assumed Qi Yue was glad because Wen Zhigu was someone famous from Class One who’d join them .
After school, Shu Nuan went to the Li Shop as usual to help the shop-owner’s wife, who was making cakes in the back kitchen . Hearing the woman call from the outside to bring a crystal flower cake for the guest, Shu Nuan hurried to plate the order . Just when she’d finished plating the cake and had walked outside, she found that the guest… was Sheng Lingyun .
She didn’t know how Sheng Lingyun had found this place, but she saw him frown a little while still sitting in silence . She put down the plate in front of him, who stretched out his hand to grab hers . His expression turned more gloomy as he stared at her–
