84

Jiang Yuechu was walking towards the entrance of the train station in a trance when his body was suddenly pushed back a few steps by a strong force and he almost fell to the ground.

She subconsciously grabbed the thing sticking to her body and managed to steady herself.

Before I even saw what I was holding, I heard a weak childish voice apologizing: "Sister, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it..."

Jiang Yuechu was stunned for a moment. This voice? ...

She quickly looked towards the source of the sound and saw a boy about ten years old, wearing only a thin, worn cotton coat on this cold morning in early spring, with the cotton wool showing in some places.

Looking at this familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar face, Jiang Yuechu could hardly hide his surprise: "Are you Erniu? ... I'm fine, are you hurt anywhere?"

"No, I didn't. I'm leaving now, sister..." The boy became even more frightened when he heard her calling his name. He hid the panic in his eyes and backed away while speaking.

"You can go, but should you leave the things in your hands behind?"

The smile on Jiang Yuechu's face became more gentle, but the words she said made the boy even more panicked.

"What...what? I don't understand what my sister said..."

"I'll give you a chance to tell the truth. If you still don't want to, then I can only hand you over to the police!" Jiang Yuechu said the terrified words in the most gentle voice.

“I… I…” The little boy’s voice was trembling with tears, “Sister… Sister, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it… I’ll return the money to you, please don’t send me to the police station…”

"Then tell me, do you have a younger sister named San Ya?" Jiang Yuechu didn't scare him this time and asked directly.

"You...how did you know?" Erniu's eyes became more alert and defensive when he heard that she knew he had a sister. "I...I'll return the money to you. My sister is sick, so I stole your money...Can you please not send me and my sister to the police station?"

"I won't send you to the police station, and I don't want the money. Can you take me to see my sister?" Jiang Yuechu held his thin arm and didn't dare to let go, for fear that he would run away if she wasn't careful.

"You... keep your word?" Erniu was still very suspicious, not knowing what she was going to do. "You, are you a human trafficker and are you going to sell us off?"

Jiang Yuechu couldn't help but find it funny. This kid already had such a strong sense of vigilance at such an early age!

"I can swear that I will not harm you!" Jiang Yuechu raised three fingers and placed them to his ears, his voice sonorous and powerful.

Erniu thought about it before taking her through many twists and turns and finally arriving at a dilapidated house that was about to collapse.

There was some straw spread against a corner of the wall, and on top of it was a tattered quilt that had been obtained from somewhere, and a little girl, about five or six years old, was sleeping inside.

"San Ya..." Er Niu hurriedly ran towards her, touched her forehead, then turned back to Jiang Yuechu with an expression that looked like he was about to cry: "My sister seems to have a fever!"

Jiang Yuechu put down the bag in her hand, ran over and touched the child's forehead. Fortunately, it was just a low fever.

"Go out and buy some porridge. Buy whatever you want!" Jiang Yuechu said, and took out another five yuan from his pocket. "When you're done, come to the train station lobby and find me. I'll buy the ticket..."

"Buy tickets? What tickets? Where are you taking us?" Erniu became alert again when he heard that they were going to be taken away.

"With you guys like this, no one will buy even if I want to sell it!" Jiang Yuechu couldn't help laughing: "San Ya is like this now. If she continues to live here, her brain might burn out. I'm from Lishan Town. I'm going home today. Do you want to go back with me? Although I can't let you live a luxurious life, but you will definitely have no problem with food and clothing. Think about it yourself, do you want to come with me..."

She glanced at the time again, took out the ticket from her pocket and handed it to Erniu, "I bought a ticket for the 8:30 train, and it's almost 7:30 now. I can only give you ten minutes to think about it!"

Erniu took the train ticket from her hand, looked at it carefully, stared at her for a while, nodded vigorously, and ran out.

"Come back early, our train is at 8:30..." Jiang Yuechu shouted towards his back.

"I know..." Erniu's voice was still echoing in the room, but the man had disappeared.

Jiang Yuechu thought about it, took off the scarf from her neck, wrapped Sanya's head and face, and then picked her up.

The little girl looked thin and small, perhaps about five or six years old. She felt so light in his arms that she weighed almost nothing.

But Jiang Yuechu knew that she was actually eight years old, and Erniu was actually older than he looked, and this year he should be... twelve years old!

In her previous life, by chance, she also took them in, but it was a year later than now.

Jiang Yuechu held Sanya in his arms, carried his luggage bag, and walked towards the ticket office of the train station!

At this moment, she felt a little uncertain. In this new life, no matter how she changed, the gears of fate seemed to slowly return to their previous tracks...

NTU Campus

In the cafeteria, Jiang Yannan was sitting at the table eating breakfast. Ma Zhaodi saw him sitting there alone and walked towards him.

"Brother Yannan, why are you alone?" Ma Zhaodi looked around, thinking that Jiang Yuechu had gone somewhere.

"The other few people don't have classes in the first period, so they haven't gotten up yet." Jiang Yannan thought she was referring to her roommates.

"I'm talking about Yuechu. She came yesterday. Didn't she come to see you today?" Ma Zhaodi sat down at the dining table and wondered if Jiang Yuechu hadn't slept yet?

Just as I muttered to myself, I heard a sudden "clang" from the opposite side. It was the sound of a lunch box falling to the ground.

Ma Zhaodi looked up and saw Jiang Yannan had already stood up. The usually cold and distant man now looked excited. "Yue'er came to Nanjing University? Did you meet yesterday?"

"Well, we went out for dinner last night, and she went back to rest after dinner. She said she would come to see you today. Why didn't you see her?" Ma Zhaodi asked while eating, not noticing the man's increasingly dark complexion. "Could she have gone to your dormitory?"

After hearing what she said, Jiang Yannan couldn't stay any longer, so he picked up his lunch box and ran towards the dormitory...

Jiang Yannan arrived at the bottom of the dormitory building panting and looked around. There was no one downstairs in the cold morning.

He came to the door of the dormitory building: "Auntie, is there anyone looking for me today?"

The dormitory manager smiled as soon as she saw him. The boy was tall and handsome, and people could remember him at first sight.

"It's Yan Nan, a little girl came to see you just now, but when I told her you weren't here, she left!"

Jiang Yannan became even more anxious when he heard this: "Then do you know where she went?"

"Where can I go? To the classroom!"

Jiang Yannan felt something was wrong when he heard it, "What does that girl look like?"

"That girl who always waits for you outside, she's pretty, but she seems to have a bad temper!" The dormitory aunt kept talking, "Is she your girlfriend?"

"No, he's just a fellow countryman. I already have a fiancée!" Jiang Yannan looked listless and didn't even have the heart to attend class.

"Oh, by the way! Last night, a little girl came to see you. She was very pretty and very polite." Auntie suddenly remembered what happened last night. "Then a classmate came, I think he was the one in your dormitory... Woof..."

"Wang Fengnian!" Jiang Yannan was extremely anxious, but he couldn't show it too obviously on his face. He could only listen to his aunt talk about what happened.

"Yes, yes, yes. Later, classmate Wang told her that I was in the library, so she went straight to find me!"

"When did that happen?" Jiang Yannan didn't know why he felt uneasy.

"I'm not sure about that!" Auntie shook her head. "I guess it's around eight or nine o'clock. You can go back and ask your roommate!"

The more Jiang Yannan listened, the more uneasy he became. He ran upstairs and pushed the door open with force. Everyone else in the dormitory was awakened by the sudden noise.

Chen Aiguo, who was punched by Jiang Yannan last night, started cursing as soon as he saw it was him: "Are you sick? Can't you let people sleep well so early in the morning?"

Jiang Yannan had no time to pay attention to him now, and went straight to Wang Fengnian's bed: "Wang Fengnian, did you ask a girl to come to the library to see me last night?"

Wang Fengnian was also awakened by the sound of the glottis.

"Yeah, did she bother you? Sorry, I just spoke too quickly..."

"Sorry, I don't mean to blame you. Are you sure she went to the library? Do you remember what time it was?" Jiang Yannan interrupted him with an anxious look on his face.

"About half past eight?!" Wang Fengnian was a little surprised by Jiang Yannan's abnormal behavior today, but he didn't care. After thinking for a while, he replied, "I wanted to take her there, but she said she knew, so she went by herself. By the way, Yannan, do you know which department that girl is from? Her name is..."

Before he could finish his words, Jiang Yannan turned around and left in a hurry. Wang Fengnian could only swallow his unfinished words.

Jiang Yannan was even more uneasy at this moment. Yue'er came to see him, but why didn't he see her? Did they miss each other?

He kept recalling in his mind, where was he between 8:30 and 9 o'clock last night?

Jiang Yannan suddenly stopped and his face turned ugly!

He suddenly remembered what happened on his way back from the library last night. He didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but Lin Feixue suddenly rushed over to him for help, so he couldn't just pretend he didn't see anything. And the man was from the same dormitory as them, so he didn't want to ruin the reputation of their dormitory because of him.

He wondered if Yue Er had seen this and misunderstood something, or if she simply didn't find him and went back.

Whatever the situation, the result is that he has not seen her until now.

Jiang Yannan ran out to the hotel. He thought maybe the lazy pig hadn't gotten up yet? !

With this lucky mentality, he came to the registration office of the hotel.

"Can you help me check if a girl named Jiang Yuechu is still in the room?"

"No need to check. I was half asleep early in the morning when she checked out!" The girl at the front desk remembered it clearly. The girl even gave her a dollar before she left: "Are you Jiang Yannan?"

"It's me..." Jiang Yannan answered hastily upon hearing this. "Did she leave a message for me? Do you know where she went?"

"She left a letter for you, saying that if you come today, she will give it to you, and if you don't come today, she will tear it up!"

When Jiang Yannan heard this, he thought something was wrong. He hurriedly took the letter and opened it to read.

"Ayan:

This seems to be the first time you ignored me for so long...

To be honest, you have been by my side all these years, caring for me and accommodating me. I really can't adapt to the sudden absence of your concern.

I know that what I said last time hurt your feelings, but if you have any opinions and ideas, you can speak out instead of ignoring and treating you like this!

I don’t want our relationship to remain in this stalemate. Even if we can’t be husband and wife, we are still brother and sister, so I came!

Come for an answer!

When Lin Feixue's mother came to me and asked me to let you and Lin Feixue be together, I found it very funny. I couldn't believe that the person who was angry because I wanted to postpone my marriage not long ago could fall in love with someone else so quickly?

But your attitude makes me feel uneasy!

The scene I saw last night has been replaying in my mind. I thought that I was the only one you cared for, but it turned out that it was not the case...

Do you remember what I said? If one day you fall in love with someone else, you can tell me directly, I will help you and wish you happiness!

But I found that when the moment came, I really couldn't bless you with peace of mind.

So, I retreated in a despicable way. I need to calm myself down now. I don’t want to turn into a shrew that I hate when I face you!

Maybe one day, I will allow myself to slowly accept all this and let us return to being brother and sister. But, at least not now!

......"

Jiang Yannan slowly read the letter in his hand over and over again, word by word, slowly understanding Jiang Yuechu's feelings when he wrote the letter.

At this moment, he was both happy and sad!

It turns out that this has not been a one-man show for him. However, this silly girl had no confidence in him. How could she think that he would fall in love with someone else?

However, thinking of what she mentioned in the letter, Jiang Yannan's face turned cold. He really didn't expect that someone would deliberately let Yue'er misunderstand him and destroy their relationship.
