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–
