After saving Bai Yueguang's substitute

【Today's love temperature: 91℃】

828

Xu Zhinian leaned over suddenly, gave me a short hug, and then shrank back.

I froze for a moment.

He turned his head sideways to look at the snow-white wall and the patterns on the quilt, but he didn't look at me.

The temperature of his body seemed to still remain on my body, making my face slightly hot.

829

"Are you trying to comfort me?" I smiled.

Xu Zhinian hesitated for a long time before slowly nodding his head.

I looked at his reddened ear tips and chuckled lightly.

Xu Zhinian was a little annoyed when he heard the laughter, as if he wanted to cover himself with a quilt.

830

"After talking about mine, let's talk about yours." I changed the subject.

Xu Zhinian blinked: "Me?"

"Yes." I said, "Shouldn't there be courtesy?"

Xu Zhinian was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't know what to say.

I said, "Don't be nervous, just chat casually and say anything."

831

Xu Zhinian said with some embarrassment: "Actually, there is nothing special about my past, just a very ordinary person."

I couldn't help laughing.

Xu Zhinian looked at me confusedly: "What are you laughing at?"

I said: "Let's not talk about anything else, just your face, you really can't bear the word 'ordinary'."

Xu Zhinian: "..."

832

Xu Zhinian touched his face and said after a long time, "Is Mr. Jiang complimenting me for being handsome?"

I said, "You are good-looking."

Xu Zhinian was a little happy to be praised.

833

He thought for a while and said, "I actually can't remember what my parents looked like. I was young when they passed away. To me, they are more like a symbol."

I asked, "What about your grandma?"

"Grandma is very good to me." Xu Zhinian said, "When I was a child, I was playful and often played outside until late at home. Grandma would move a bamboo chair and sit at the door waiting for me. When I go home, I can always see In the dim light, wearing reading glasses, she knits something for me while she waits."

"She would look up and say, 'Niannian is back.' Then she would say, 'Dinner seems to be getting cold, I'll warm it up for you.'"

Listening to his description, that picture seemed to appear in front of my eyes.

A kind-hearted grandma and her lively and lovely little grandson.

834

I said, "Your grandma is very kind to you."

"Yeah." Xu Zhinian said, "Grandma, she is very nice."

He went on to say: "Later I was going to school, and my grandma wanted to send me to a better school in the county, but it would cost a lot of tuition fees, and her pension could not afford it. Others persuaded her that the school in the town The school is not bad, but grandma insists on sending me to the best one."

"She ran to ask my uncle for money, and the uncle said he couldn't afford so much, so my grandma scolded him for being heartless and robbed my parents' house. In the end, my uncle had no choice but to borrow money from my grandma. Said that the alimony to her is also in it, and told her not to ask for money in the future."

"The eldest aunt called her a debt collector behind her back, but grandma didn't care, took the money and left happily."

835

I asked, "How much?"

Xu Zhinian thought for a while and said, "8, 9000, it's not even [-]."

I was a little surprised: "So little."

"At that time, it was already a huge amount of money." Xu Zhinian said, "It may be unbelievable in the eyes of Mr. Jiang, and it is not as expensive as a piece of clothing."

It's really hard for me to imagine anyone worrying about just 1 yuan.

836

"For my grandma and I at that time, this was already an astronomical figure. We were reluctant to spend a few dollars or tens of dollars at ordinary times."

I do not know what to say.

I always feel that no matter what I say, there is a taste of "why not eat minced meat".

So I stayed silent and listened to him continue.

837

"My academic performance has always been very good. I work very hard, especially when I think of my grandma bending over to be scolded by my uncle and aunt in order to let me go to school, and remembering that it took me thousands of dollars to study here, I am not at all. Dare to relax."

Xu Zhinian said: "When I was studying, my classmates seemed to be very innocent. As long as you got good grades, they would look at you with admiration. The campus bullying in the novels did not happen to me at all. There are also some students with poor grades who want to bully me, but they will soon be scolded back by classmates who have a good relationship with me."

Speaking of this, Xu Zhinian glanced at me slowly and said, "Thinking about it this way, I have actually met many good people in my life."

838

"When I got the college admission letter, my grandma was so happy." Xu Zhinian said, "In her opinion, being a college student is a very honorable thing."

"She took all the money she'd saved her life and bought me a laptop and other things she thought I'd need for school."

"She loves me so much, loves me unreservedly."

839

As Xu Zhinian spoke, his eyes suddenly turned red, as if he wanted to cry, but he held back.

I reached out and stroked his hair lightly: "Your grandma must be a very gentle person."

Xu Zhinian nodded, choked up and said, "She is the best grandma in the world."

I said: "Only such a gentle person can raise such a good you."

840

I suddenly understood why I can always see a unique tenderness and innocence from Xu Zhinian.

Because his grandma, his teachers, classmates, and the people he knew all showed kindness to him, allowing him to retain this innocence and kindness.

Born into poverty, he was persevering.

When others treat him with kindness, he will repay the world with tenderness.

841

After talking for so long and taking medicine again, Xu Zhinian became a little sleepy without realizing it.

He yawned.

I asked, "Are you sleepy?"

He nodded, and closed his eyelids unbearably, but soon woke up again, and forced himself to turn his head to look at me.

842

I stretched out my hand, covered his eyes, and said, "Sleep when you're sleepy."

He blinked, his eyelashes brushing my palm like a brush.

Seeing that I didn't intend to let go, he obediently closed his eyes.

843

I stood up, got closer to him, then bent down, and gently placed a kiss on his forehead.

Xu Zhinian slowly opened his eyes.

He complained: "Mr. Jiang, how can you make me fall asleep like this."

I laughed: "Well, it's my fault."

After finishing speaking, I withdrew my hand, pressed my lips and smiled, and said, "Niannian, your face is so red."

844

Xu Zhinian was so embarrassed that he couldn't bear it, he pulled up the quilt suddenly, and buried himself in it.

I couldn't help laughing out loud.

Xu Zhinian like this is indeed too cute, it makes me want to tease him a little bit, and a little bit more.

845

After a while, the quilt was pulled down, and Xu Zhinian revealed a pair of black eyes, blinking at me.

I said, "Aren't you going to bore yourself like this?"

Xu Zhinian shook his head with red ears.

I took two steps back and said, "Don't bother you. You are recuperating. You should have a good rest. I'll be leaving first."

Xu Zhinian was a little bit reluctant, but still obediently watched me leave.

846

I sometimes feel that Xu Zhinian does not look like an adult in his 20s.

He's more like a big boy.

Frank, innocent, cute, and has a youthful drive.

There was no intrigue in his mind.

Poverty can't bend his back, and suffering can't break his bones.

He is so good, too good for me to describe in words.

847

When the weather turned completely cold, Xu Zhinian's illness was almost healed.

With Mrs. Wang's various nourishing soups, he gained weight visibly to the naked eye.

When he saw the numbers on the electronic scale, he still couldn't believe it: "I actually gained 3 catties!"

I said, "Keep going, keep going."

Xu Zhinian: "..."

848

As the air got colder and colder, Xu Zhinian became more and more busy. While he had to make up for the courses he missed when he was sick, he was also busy preparing for the final exam.

Especially in the morning, he was reluctant to get up from the warm blanket, and sometimes he didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so he hurried out to go to class.

Mrs. Wang anxiously shouted from behind: "Niannian! Hot water bottle! Don't forget the hot water bottle! It's so cold today, you'll freeze if you don't take it with you!"

849

He is busy, and I will only be busier.

At the end of the month, a friend got married and sent me an invitation letter.

It is a common political marriage in the circle, but the two have known each other since they were young, so they can be regarded as childhood sweethearts, and they know each other well.

I don't know whether the parties are satisfied or not. In short, the parents of both parties are quite satisfied.

850

Because it was too cold, the wedding was not planned to be held outdoors, but a hotel was finally chosen and it was very grand.

That day, I had trouble deciding what to wear to the wedding.

I asked Xu Zhinian: "How about this set?"

I am wearing a gray coat, the style looks very ordinary, not particularly conspicuous.

Xu Zhinian frowned and looked at it for a while, then said, "Mr. Jiang looks handsome in whatever he wears."

I:"……"

851

"But that black windbreaker is better." Xu Zhinian probably felt that what he said just now was a bit perfunctory, and said, "That one is more imposing, it makes your legs weak."

I raised my eyebrows and said, "Then it's still this one."

Xu Zhinian was puzzled, and asked me with his eyes wide open, "Why?"

I said, "At other people's weddings, I can't be too showy, I should keep a low profile."

Xu Zhinian thought for a while, and said, "Actually, this dress is not very low-key on Mr. Jiang's body."

I made a helpless expression and said, "In comparison, the gray one is already the most low-key."

Xu Zhinian was speechless for a moment.

852

The wedding scene was grandly arranged, the stage was covered with flowers, and there was a big cake with several layers.

I wrote down my name at the sign-in desk. After entering the venue, at a glance, most of them were acquaintances.

My friend's family is in business, and most of the people invited are people from the business circle. It is said that the bride's family has some connections with the political circles, and they also invited some political officials.

853

I don't know who arranged the seat, but Shi Jiazhi was next to me.

When I looked up, I saw Ye Zi'an.

I teased Shi Jiazhi and said, "You brought people to the wedding?"

Shi Jiazhi glanced at me and said, "It's none of my business. The groom's officer told me that he wanted to invite a few celebrities to come over to support the scene, so I brought the artistes from the company to help out. For the sake of acquaintances, I also gave a discount on the appearance fee."

He also defended: "And I didn't just invite Ye Zi'an alone."

Ye Zi'an seems to be surrounded by a few good-looking starlets, but I don't know them, so I ignore them.

854

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Shi Jiazhi approached me enthusiastically and said, "I heard a gossip about you recently, do you want to know?"

I sneered: "I have nothing to gossip about."

Shi Jiazhi said: "They are all saying, why do you have a crush on a college student, spread the word vividly and vividly."

I was taken aback.

855

He was talking about Xu Zhinian?
