Aristocrat Boys School

Chapter 54 Neighbors

After Jian Chi woke up, she glanced at the alarm clock next to her, it was nine forty in the morning.

After getting up and finishing washing, Jian Chengchao was no longer at home, and went to the dry cleaner early to start his day's work.The new year is one month away, and every industry is ushering in a busy period at the end of the year.

Rather than reading and studying at home, Jian Chi wanted to go to the store to help out, but Jian Chengchao rejected it as soon as he proposed, and told him to take a good rest, or ask his former friends to go out to play.

Jian Chi, who doesn't have many friends, reluctantly agrees, thinking of Zhang Yang, but she didn't expect to see Zhang Yang's newly released location and travel photos of other provinces just after boarding the HS, so the idea was temporarily shelved.

Apart from doing math problems to decompress, playing small games on the mobile phone, or watching high-quality old movies from more than ten years ago, Jian Chi has no other hobbies that can be sold.But it can't be all Jian Chi's fault. So far, his goal in life is only to be admitted to university and graduate to work smoothly. It sounds many times more boring than a stand-alone game.

Such a monotonous life is unlikely to last for two full months.Jian Chi would go out for a few laps every day after dinner, and in two days he had a good grasp of the terrain in this area.In addition to this residential building with a height of four or five floors, there are food stalls around, small restaurants like Shaxian Baozi Shop, several grocery hardware stores, and a mobile phone repair shop.

Walking out of the residential building to the east will be more lively. There is a small Xinhua Bookstore and a kindergarten that looks quite old.Every time Jian Chi sits in the store and reads a book, he can hear nursery rhymes and children making noises in the nearby kindergarten. Perhaps this is the reason why the business of the bookstore is not very good, and Jian Chi visits every afternoon.

Sanston does not have holiday homework, but it cannot completely ignore studies.Jian Chi walked into the bookstore with a few economics textbooks and sat where she always sat every time she went there. Just as she put on her earphones, there was a sound of something falling from behind. A seven or eight-year-old girl was struggling to grab the bookshelf , with a thin figure, wearing gray clothes and pants, with a loose ponytail half loose.

Jian Chi took off his earphones and walked over, glanced at the bookshelf, "Which book do you want to take?"

The little girl was silent, her skin was darker than ordinary girls, and her eyes were as big and watery as grapes.Jian Chi waited patiently for a reply. The girl pointed to the painted version of "A Brief History of Everything" on the third row, carefully took the book from Jian Chi's hand, held it in her arms, and whispered "Thank you brother".

Jian Chi was a little surprised that she would be interested in "A Brief History of Everything". She just thought about it and didn't ask any further questions.

He picked up the book that had fallen on the floor and put it away, and sat back in his seat. Just as he focused on the pages in front of him, he caught a glimpse of a dusty shadow slowly moving to the chair a seat away from him.The little girl who got the book became the second visitor to this table.

This time Jane stayed in the bookstore until evening.His daily study time is four hours, and he is already on his way home at this point.The little girl next to her was holding the book "A Brief History of Everything" and was reading. No one came to pick her up. She didn't look anxious at all, unlike ordinary children who ran around from time to time.

Jian Chi looked at the darkened sky outside, turned off the music that was playing, leaned over, and deliberately lowered his voice: "Kid, aren't your parents here?"

The little girl moved her eyes away from the book, looking extremely vigilant, "Not here."

"Will someone come to pick you up later?"

"Brother will come to pick me up."

Jian Chi relaxed a little, thinking that the bookstore was not long before closing, and asked, "Do you want me to accompany you to wait for brother? It's going to be dark soon."

The little girl hesitated for a while, then shook her head, "No, thank you brother."

He is a polite kid.

Jian Chi didn't insist anymore, the little girl said very affirmatively just now, she was obviously used to waiting for her brother.Jian Chi explained a few words to the boss, packed up his things and walked out of the bookstore. The cold air from the store suddenly took away the warmth from the store. He zipped up his coat, and when he heard footsteps in front of him, he raised his head and wanted to get out of the way. In place.

"Wen Chuan?"

In such cold weather, Wen Chuan only wore a black hooded sweater, hiding in the dark night.The lower body is jeans and sneakers. The denim fabric is so washed out that it is difficult to tell whether the toe caps are white or gray.He pulled the brim of his hat to his eyes, revealing a well-shaped jaw and a few strands of black hair hanging down his chest in the dark. He was holding a plastic bag that smelled like food, and he looked like he had just bought it from a fast food restaurant.

This sudden sound made Wen Chuan's figure freeze in place, and after a moment of unexpected fluctuation, he moved his lips, and found his voice while staring at Jian Chi silently.

"What a coincidence."

It's a coincidence.

Shocked by the wind, Jian Chi pulled the zipper to the top and walked down the steps, "Are you going to the bookstore?"

"Well," Wen Chuan said, "are you too?"

"I'm ready to go back."

Jian Chi felt a little strange when he said this, why did Wen Chuan come to the bookstore at this time?

The little girl's words just now echoed in her ears, and before Jian Chi could connect the two together, there were pattering footsteps behind her.The little girl ran all the way to Wen Chuan's side, her hair was also loosened, she used to hold the corner of the sweater tightly, and hid behind Wen Chuan, her big eyes were still staring at Jian Chi.

"Jingjing, call me brother." Wen Chuan lightly pressed the back of the girl's head, with a cold expressionless face, and an imperceptible tenderness in his voice, "He is your brother's good friend."

Jingjing poked her head out, and obediently called out "Brother" to Jian Chi, her vigilance just now was replaced by curiosity.

When Jian Chi heard the word 'brother', she didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, she was stunned for a while before thinking of asking Jingjing: "Is he the brother you mentioned just now?"

Jingjing blinked her big eyes and nodded.

Wen Chuan noticed Jian Chi's surprise, "Did you guys talk just now?"

"It was just the two of us in the bookstore today. I saw that it was getting dark, and I was worried that she would have no one to pick me up. I asked a few words, and she said that her brother would come over later," Jian Chi said, "I didn't expect her brother to be you. "

Wen Chuan pulled the corners of his lips indistinctly to ease the coldness between his brows and eyes, and looked down at Jingjing who was kicking stones, "Jingjing is grandma's granddaughter and also my sister."

Jane Chi understood the meaning of this sentence.

There are a few dim street lamps on the path at night, some of which are no longer lit, and the gravel road under your feet is uneven. Jian Chi and Wen Chuan walked side by side, holding the quiet Jingjing by the side.

Jian Chi thought about what to say to break the silence, and asked, "Do you live here?"

"I didn't want to see people from the Fu family, so I moved out." Wen Chuan's voice was faint, especially in the silent night, and he could feel his slightly trembling chest, "Do you live here too?"

"It's the third floor of the building in front, the one with the lights on," Jian Chi said, "My dad should be at home now."

Wen Chuan looked over according to the description, and was quiet for a long time. After walking for a while, he replied in a low voice: "I'm in the building next to you."
