Volume 2: The Young Miracle Chapter 77: A Faint and Indistinct Sentiment

  Er Xiaya Jing sent to the old-fashioned residential building, Ji Su pulled her hand and said "Let's go", Xiaya Jing shook her head, a faint smile on her face, and whispered: "You are all good kids, teacher is fine. Don't talk. I just need some quiet time alone."

  Xie Yajing pushed open the door and got out of the car, walking along a somewhat muddy path towards the mottled tube-shaped building. The sky had already darkened, and her figure appeared so desolate under the gray night sky. Warm light seeped through the deep-colored glass, her gaze disappearing into an unknown distance, gradually becoming icy cold with the passage of time and the changing seasons.

  The atmosphere in the blue bird car was a bit oppressive, Liu Tianlai smiled and said: "How about this, I'll tell you a joke to lift the mood"

  Wen Qian said in a bad mood: "Pull it, can your place have good jokes? And there's a female comrade here, don't scare her!" Liu Tianlai called out to Qu Lai and said: "You absolutely misunderstand our public security system. Every time we do party conduct construction and administrative evaluation, we are always the first in Qingzhou, this time it must be fun."

  Wen Qian half-believed and half-doubted, turned her head and asked: "Let's let Ji Su decide this, if you believe that Director Liu can tell a good joke, then let him tell one."

  Ji Su hadn't recovered from the shock of what had just happened, but he also knew that Wen Chen was right to try to cheer him up. He forced himself to show interest and asked: "What is a vegetarian joke? Are there jokes that are vegetarian or non-vegetarian?"

  Wen Cheng hadn't replied yet, when Liu Tianlai burst out laughing and said: "Alright, for the sake of Xiao Ji Su's words, I'll also try to win some face by telling a joke that's suitable for both old and young.

  Wen Ze jokingly said, "Liu Shu hasn't been seen for several days, and his words are becoming more cultured. Suitable for both old and young, you're the only one. The older ones, we two, and the younger ones, it's really being used just right."

  Liu Tianlai pretended not to hear his teasing and cleared his throat. He said: "In the northern village of Tongyuan County, there is a township head who is our grassroots female cadre. Once, she had to come to the city to give gifts to a certain leader. At home, she considered two sets of plans. If the leader was not very enthusiastic, she would send some local specialties to avoid embarrassment when being rejected; if the leader was very enthusiastic, she would send a shopping card and get things done directly. The next day, she entered the city and went to the leader's house. The leader poured tea with great enthusiasm, and the female township head thought that she should give the card. While drinking tea, she was nervous in her heart. When leaving, she took out the card and put it on the tea table. When returning to the hotel, no matter what, she couldn't open the door. It turned out that the card she had given earlier was the room card of the hotel! That night, neither she nor the leader slept well."

  Wen Ze burst out laughing, and Ji Su thought for a moment before realizing what was going on. Suddenly her face turned bright red as she said, "Uncle Liu, you're not a good person!"

  Liu Tianlai burst out laughing and said, "This is really unjust! This joke is the most innocent one I've ever heard in my life! Actually, don't look at Wen Shao being quiet and unassuming. He's not a good person at all!" With his status, he was willing to put down his airs and tease Ji Su to make him happy, which was just giving face to Wen Chen. At this time, joking with Wen Chen a few times wouldn't hurt anything.

  Wen Qian sighed and said, "You just know he's not a good person? Alright, let me tell you a true story." He told the story of how China, America, and Russia had a contest to catch rabbits in the forest. Wen Qian was extremely eloquent, and his jokes were vivid and engaging. In the end, Chinese police brought out a dog bear that begged not to be beaten, saying "I'm just a rabbit!" Ji Su burst into laughter and fell onto the back seat, while Liu Tianlai almost lost control of the steering wheel, causing the car to swerve on the road.

  "This is ridiculous, this is supposed to be a true story. This is basically slander."

  "It's really true, it's really true". Ji Su's girlish nature quickly shifted her attention, and the awe she had for Liu Tianlai also disappeared along with his off-color jokes, replaced by a sense of familiarity. No wonder people say that telling jokes is popular in official circles, it's the best way to narrow the distance between each other.

  They drove around several streets and sent Ji Su to the family courtyard of Qinghua Factory. Wen Qian followed her down the car and walked a few steps forward, saying in a low voice: "Don't worry, your father is in another place, very safe, and the charges against him can be basically cleared. It won't take a few days before he comes back."

  "Uh-huh."

  The night deepened. Ji Su nodded, standing elegantly under the starry sky, her eyebrows and eyes like a painting, her skin as white as snow. For an instant, in the vastness of the universe, there was only this girl's sparkling eyes and smiling face, leaving no room for anything else.

  Wen Qian suddenly turned his head, no longer looking directly at her eyes. He said calmly: "Ji Su, thank you for your kindness, but from now on, please don't help me bring breakfast every morning."

  Ji Su thought he had such an idea after listening to Meng Ah's words, and walked to a place where he could see his eyes, saying softly: "Don't listen to Meng He's nonsense, I only bring you breakfast after I've eaten myself, really, I didn't cheat you!"

  Wen Qian turned around and quietly looked at her. Not a word was said. Under his warm and gentle gaze, Ji Su's voice became softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.

  “

  Ji Su, you are very beautiful and the dream of many boys. I don't deny that even in "Ping Fa Gan Hu" I secretly glanced at your back then. At that age, who wouldn't fantasize about having a day like this? Under everyone's gaze, there is a girl in white dress with long hair fluttering, swaying her figure, with a smile blooming just for herself, facing countless jealous or crazy eyes calmly, and walking through this period of youth together.

  The gentle voice was low and sinking, yet it seemed to cut off the lingering memories of the past, the wounds that had been inflicted, and the faint emotions that had been stirred up. "But that's just an illusion, Ji Su. I only stumbled into your life at an inopportune moment, perhaps giving you a glimmer of hope and courage under some sort of coincidence. But I think you understand, this isn't a reason to get close to someone or try to win them over. If it were just because of these things, what you're doing now already makes me feel uneasy."

  "I'm helping you, but it's not as great as you think! You've also seen that I have many things to do and many unmentionable schemes in the works. Liu Tian said it well, I'm really not a good person."

  "So whether it's out of gratitude or to repay a favor, you don't have to do that anymore. I'm helping you for my own sake, to a large extent. You can go back to being the old Ji Su, doing whatever you like freely and not forcing yourself. Otherwise, what's the difference between me and Gu Wen Yuan?"

  Some things haven't been said, but you should know that this is a hint. A girl helping a boy bring breakfast every day means something? Even Ren Yi, an out-of-tune kid, can come up with the accurate and only answer: She likes you!

  Not bad, she likes you!

  The problem is that, unlike Xu Yao and Zuo Yu Xi, Wen Cheng and Ji Su's relationship is both subtle and complicated. He doesn't want Ji Su to be blinded by gratitude and lose sight of her own feelings, only to stray further down the wrong path. After all, their past interactions hadn't been pleasant. First, Ji Su brought him breakfast, and now she wants to help him with his studies again today. Wen Cheng knows that he must have a good talk with her today. If Ji Su loses herself because of her father's matter and ends up in such a state, Wen Cheng neither wants to see it nor is willing to be a part of it.

  Ji Su's head was lowered from the moment she started speaking, her soft body looking particularly slender in the night wind, making one feel an uncontrollable sense of pity. She raised her head. In the mirror-like black pupils, no emotional fluctuations could be seen, and she said coldly: "That time on the playground"

  "What happened on the playground, I want to apologize to you. I shouldn't have forced you to do that in front of everyone. But at the time, it was just to strike a blow against Gu Wen Yuan. I didn't mean anything else." Ji Su looked at his embarrassed expression and suddenly smiled, like ice breaking in spring, flowers blooming, and couldn't help but feel charming and moving.

  "Alright, fool, I understand!" Ji Su gathered her courage. She gently grasped Wen Chen's hands. "I know what I'm doing and what I need. After the last experience, would I be so foolish as to easily hand myself over to someone else? My father's affair only made me see through one person and re-recognize another. I'm grateful to him, even a bit admiring of him. Doing something small for him doesn't mean anything else, just wanting to slightly express my feelings."

  She released Wen He's warm hand and took a step back. With her hands clasped behind her back, she smiled and said: "In that case, let's get to know each other again. My name is Ji Su, 'Ji' as in 'commemoration', 'Su' as in 'flowing silk'!" She still remembered Wen He's self-introduction on the first day of school, but didn't know that this introduction was originally created by Xu Yao from her past life!

  Looking at the smiling girl, Wen He seemed to have gained some insight and smiled slightly: "Hello! My name is Wen He."

  "Ah, I know, gentle Wen, forgiving Rong. Heh, see you tomorrow."

  "See you tomorrow."

  Sitting back in the car, Liu Tianlai asked: "What's wrong?"

  He shook his head and sighed, "You say nowadays girls are getting smarter and smarter?" "I have a stupid son, I really don't know what to do with this."

  After getting in touch with him more, I found that Liu Tian is actually very interesting when talking, where is the rumor of being cold-hearted and iron-faced, ruthless?

  "Hmm, your son Zhihe is as smart as a girl, Director Liu, you don't have to be sad"

  Two people entered the Emperor Garden, one in front of the other. This time Liu Tianlai remembered to change his shoes first, but his rough voice remained unchanged: "Director Zuo, I've brought the person here."

  Zuo Yuxi had been waiting for a long time and suddenly frowned at Wen Chen: "Why is there a woman's scent on you?"

  Wen Jian jumped in fright. This dog nose, didn't think Siya Jing and Ji Su had perfume on them? Liu Tianlai abruptly lowered his head, not saying a word, but in his heart he was thinking that Wen Shao was right. In today's world, even little girls are clever, let alone women?
