Chapter 38
On the last Sunday in May, Xie Jingchi rarely showed up in the restaurant at seven o'clock in the morning.
On days when he didn't have to go to school, he would sleep until at least nine o'clock. Today was so early, the housekeeper was obviously taken aback.
According to him, the exam is coming soon, so it is better to go to school to review with classmates.
When it was time to go out, the housekeeper asked him if he would come back for lunch, and if he came back, would he have anything he wanted to eat.
Xie Jingchi, who was thinking about which pair of shoes to wear today, hesitated for a while, "I will have lunch with my classmates, and I won't be coming back."
The countdown in the back row of the classroom has officially turned into single digits, and the day of graduation is approaching.
The third round of review in May is over. From June onwards, the school will officially stop teaching and will no longer be compulsory to attend school. Only teachers will be assigned to answer questions every day.
In the morning, Xie Jingchi made three sets of papers, and Lu Xu kept glancing at him along the way.
Having reached this point, there is no need to hide anything, Xie Jingchi openly opened the paper for him to read.
"Oh." Seeing what he wrote clearly, Lu Xu had a complicated face and kicked the table, "Little villain, little liar, it's interesting to see me worrying about you every day, isn't it?"
He cursed bitterly, there was not much ruthlessness in his words, but it was full of grievances.
"Xuxu..." Xie Jingchi wanted to say a few nice words to apologize to him, but Lu Xu just recited them and refused to have any further communication with him.
The cold war lasted until after school at noon, Lu Xu picked up his schoolbag and left angrily, Xie Jingchi called him many times behind him without turning back.
Affirming that Lu Xu would not forgive himself so easily, Xie Jingchi dismissed the other students who were watching and left the classroom.
He told the housekeeper that he would not come back to eat. He wanted to pack some food and take it home, but he was stopped just after he left the school.
"Is there anything I can't say on the phone?" Xie Jingchi didn't get too close, there was at least two meters between them.
"I'm leaving next week, and I want to meet you before I leave." The middle-aged man in front of him, or Jiang Lian, gestured to him, "My car is parked over there. After getting in the car, we Speak slowly."
Xie Jingchi still looked vigilant, and refused to approach him no matter what.
Jiang Lian smiled helplessly, "I won't take you to any strange place, I really just want to have a good talk with you."
They were in a stalemate for a while, and the other students and the school gatekeeper who passed by became suspicious.
The school security guards are not far from them, as long as Xie Jingchi is threatened, they will rush up to subdue the middle-aged man in front of them.
"Mr. Jiang, I'm going back."
Jiang Lian still didn't move away, "You are anyway... No matter what, you should call me uncle. Is it too much for uncle to treat you to a meal?"
uncle.Xie Jingchi passed these two words on the tip of his tongue, "I don't have an uncle." He said with a bit of sarcasm, and at the same time kept his hands in his pockets, as long as Jiang Lian made any strange moves, he would Report directly to the police.
Jiang Lian's eyes slowly slid across his face, "Then...do you want to know about Jiang Xingyun? I can tell you everything."
Xie Jingchi stared at him for a long time, his expression changed from guarded to confused.
"...Two hours at most." He was still defeated by his own curiosity.
Jiang Lian breathed a sigh of relief, and opened the car door for him, "It's just a meal, it won't take you too long."
In order to meet him, Jiang Lian didn't even bring a driver, and did everything by himself.
Xie Jingchi didn't want to admit it, he was secretly relieved that he didn't see the surly old man in the car.
"Your grandfather is still angry, so I'm the only one here."
It probably has the special function of mind reading, Jiang Lian picks and chooses, and chooses the mildest one.
"Oh."
Staring at Jiang Lian's resolute and handsome profile, Xie Jingchi was still very confused.
He didn't know that he was so rude in the last phone call, and this younger Mr. Jiang still insisted on meeting him.
If there was really some kindness towards him, then why didn't anyone come to take him away when he ran away from home and made such a big fuss?
Why have you been ignoring him for 18 years, but now you have to appear in front of him one after another.
Jiang Lian chose a fairly high-end Cantonese restaurant as the place to talk.
There are many guests who come to dine at noon on the rest day, and the waiter will take them to the semi-open cubicle.
After the curtain was lowered, the noisy voices were far away, and the small cubicle was instantly quiet.Xie Jingchi was bored looking at the shimmering lake outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, when suddenly someone put a heavy cookbook in front of him.
"Order what you want to eat."
Xie Jingchi was not very polite to him, he chose what he liked and ordered a few items before returning the menu to Jiang Lian.
Seeing exactly what dishes he ordered, Jiang Lian froze in place.
Xie Jingchi didn't understand why he reacted like this, "Is there something you're allergic to or don't eat? If I'm allergic, I'll..." This was the only possibility he could think of.
"No, it's not." Responding, Jiang Lian waved his hand to stop his plan to cancel the order.
Xie Jingchi still looked at him suspiciously, he seemed a little embarrassed to say, "It's... because you and your father... have very similar tastes."
Now it was Xie Jingchi's turn to be speechless.
Jiang Lian picked up the cup and took a sip of the barley tea in it, and slowly explained to him, "When I was in high school, your father was still in junior high school. I often went across two campuses to find him at noon. I went to high school, and I studied abroad in college... so I knew his taste better than the nanny at home during that time."
Xie Jingchi lowered his head to hide his guilty conscience.He fiddled with the ebony chopsticks inlaid with silver wire at the end, "I don't know." He said bluntly, "No one ever told me."
It wasn't until this moment that he really felt that the person in front of him had indeed lived with Jiang Xingyun for many, many years, and it wasn't some random lie made up to deceive him.
There are too many things he doesn't know about Jiang Xingyun.
Everyone knows what kind of person Jiang Xingyun is, what Jiang Xingyun likes and what he doesn't like, and Jiang Xingyun's blood is flowing in him, but he is the person who knows Jiang Xingyun the least in this world.
This realization made him feel ashamed and painful.
Realizing that he might have said something wrong, Jiang Lian was dumbfounded for a moment, then abruptly changed the subject, "Thanks...can I call you Xiaochi?"
There was a bit of humble hope in his eyes, and a bit of unspeakable guilt.
Xie Jingchi didn't want to know the reason behind it at all.
It's so strange, another Mr. Jiang almost bluntly said that he doesn't have such a shameful grandson, why does this Mr. Jiang look like he is eager to get involved with him?
"As you wish."
Jiang Lian's always serious face showed a slight smile, "Xiao Chi, you are going to graduate, right?"
Like a clumsy elder, Xie Jingchi thought.
It's clumsy, but not terribly obnoxious.
"Ah."
"I've seen your transcript." Jiang Lian didn't hide the fact that he had investigated him, "If you want to apply to a foreign school, I can send it to you..." He said tentatively.
"I did so poorly on purpose." Xie Jingchi interrupted him, "My grades are very good, so I won't even fail the university entrance exam."
He knew that he was angry with the person in front of him because he had run into trouble with Lu Xu, but he couldn't control his emotions for a while.
He has lied to Lu Xu for so many years. Lu Xu deserves to be angry and not to forgive him. step field?
Jiang Lian was dumbfounded, "I'm not...why?"
Seeing clearly the guilt on the face of the man in front of him, Xie Jingchi's anger was blocked all at once.
He turned his face and said in a low voice, "Otherwise, I might not even be able to go to normal high school."
Growing up in such a family, he understood a truth very early on, that is, the report card with the same score, brought back by Xie Xuan and brought back by him are two completely different results.
Xie Xuan's excellence is what many people, including Xie Mingyao, are happy to see.
A family does not need two heirs, especially the last one is so much-anticipated, so Xie Jingchi's excellence will only bring disaster to himself.
After growing up, Xie Jingchi only recalled it. After Jiang Xingyun died, Xie Mingyao still sent him to the Conservatory of Music to learn piano. It was a statement in itself.
Xie Jingchi only needs to be a weak Omega addicted to romance, and it is enough to wait for Xie Mingyao to give him alms for his arranged marriage and future.
As for more things, Xie Jingchi is not worthy of having them.
When he was in elementary school, he didn't understand this truth, and he wanted to be praised by his father like Xie Xuan, but all he got was a cold, emotionless "not bad".
He was puzzled for a long time, until he heard the private conversation of the servants.The servants laughed at him for his ignorance, thinking that his attempt to replace the young master was completely wishful thinking.
He tried to exile himself, tried to really make a mess of mud, but he couldn't do it, he still wanted those things that were too far away from him.
So in the second year of junior high school, he tore up his report card with five full marks, and never tried to show any edge again.
It was the only way he could think of to protect himself.
The older he got, the more clearly he could perceive that Xie Mingyao was on guard against him.
What can he guard against?He still couldn't figure out the answer to this question.
"In this case, why don't you want to go with me?" Jiang Lian eagerly wanted to grab Xie Jingchi's hand, "Xiao Chi, I know I didn't do well before, but from now on, your business is my business. I am willing to pay for your college expenses..."
"No need, Mr. Jiang, I never thought of relying on anyone." Xie Jingchi avoided him briskly, "You probably don't know, for a long time I really wanted to just leave."
In his initial vision, he wanted to go to a faraway place, cut off all contact with this side, and start a new life.
For this plan, he has saved money for a long time, and even invested part of it in the stock market. Now Cary's numbers are very good.
In addition, he should be able to get a scholarship, so that he can afford all his daily expenses until he graduates from graduate school.
This was a life he had wanted for a long time, not so rich but free.
"Don't you think about it now?" Jiang Lian, who was rejected, sat back down in his seat.
"I..." He bit his lip.He wanted to leave Xie Mingyao and Fang Rujun, leave that indifferent and false family, and live a life of freedom. This has not changed from the beginning to the end.
But he didn't want to leave that person.
How strange.Obviously on the day when he first met Qin Shen, he stood up and loudly protested against this absurd marriage contract in front of everyone.
He is a human being, not a cheap gift that can be changed hands at will. He once thought that even if everyone in the world died, he would never be able to be with that Alpha named Qin Shen.
"People change, and so do I." In the end, he said this.
Xie Jingchi's incomprehensible sadness appeared in Jiang Lian's eyes, "What made you change your mind?"
"Yes..." Xie Jingchi closed his eyes.
The opportunity for him to change...
It was more than two years ago, but to Xie Jingchi, everything seems to be still yesterday.
So clear, so desperate, yet so beautiful, it made him feel a dull pain every time he thought of a certain place in his chest.
On days when he didn't have to go to school, he would sleep until at least nine o'clock. Today was so early, the housekeeper was obviously taken aback.
According to him, the exam is coming soon, so it is better to go to school to review with classmates.
