She Is From The Countryside

after separating from wei chuge, she walked for a few minutes and crossed the road. then, she took out her phone and called jiang che. she talked about her visit to professor li and even mentioned that she was preparing to study for a master’s degree and a phd.

She didn’t mention much about the trouble she had encountered tonight since she could easily solve it herself, in case Jiang che rushed over again in the middle of the night.

speaking of which, because shi yan had chosen these five people, she had left the shi family before she could bring them back to see the others. so until now, besides shi yan, only su yu and su chen knew the existence of these five people.

su chen was the only one who knew about su yu’s death.

shi yan talked on the phone all the way to the dormitory, but she met someone on the way.

It was mingway, who had just returned from the library.

when mingwei saw shi yan, he exclaimed in surprise, ” “Junior Shi Yan!”

Shi Yan stopped and nodded at him.”hello,” he said.

he pointed at the phone in his hand and mouthed an apology.

then, they walked towards the dormitory together.

shi yan had no choice but to let mingwei take this path. after all, he was also going back to the dormitory. she could only slow down her pace and try not to walk in the same direction as him.

However, she slowed down her pace, and Mingwei also slowed down his pace. In the end, the two of them walked together, and Shi Yan simply ignored them.

she continued talking on the phone.

Jiang che wasn’t in the study. He made a cup of tea and went to the balcony of the room on the second floor to enjoy it while enjoying the breeze.

He heard someone calling Shi Yan junior.

It was a man’s voice, and it was not difficult to hear the surprise in his tone after meeting Shi Yan.

jiang che, who had been leaning lazily against the chair, instantly sat up straight. ” “miss shi, i heard someone calling you junior? Did you meet senior?”

Upon hearing this, Shi Yan knew that he was jealous. She couldn’t help but smile.”yes.”

“what senior?”

“I’m just an ordinary senior from the same school.”

Beside him, mingway could not help but prick up his ears when he heard that they seemed to be talking about him.

She had thought that Shi Yan was talking to her family or best friend on the phone, but she heard Shi Yan call ” Mr. Jiang.

Mingway’s heart skipped a beat.

teacher jiang again?

the person who had asked shi yan out at the library that day seemed to be this mr. jiang.

Shi Yan didn’t know what Mingwei was thinking. After calling out to Jiang che, she said, ” Mr. Jiang, come and find me tomorrow afternoon. We can have dinner together.

she didn’t mention that jiang wei had sent someone to look for her tonight because she didn’t want jiang che to come all the way here in the middle of the night. When Jiang Wei came to apologize to her, or when Jiang Wei didn’t, she would send those people to the police station. Jiang che would definitely receive the news.

since she couldn’t hide this matter anymore, she would ask him to come over tomorrow and tell him in detail.

Hearing this, Jiang che was slightly taken aback, but then he smiled and said, ” “Miss Shi, do you miss me?”

“yeah, i missed you.” Shi Yan smiled.

When Mingwei, who was nearby, heard this, he was surprised, and then his heart fell heavily.

What did it mean for a girl to tell a man that she missed him?

he wasn’t stupid, so it was impossible for him not to have thought of it.

how could it be?

shi yan looked like a person with no desires. how could she fall in love so early?

hearing this, jiang che picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. as he swallowed, his adam’s apple moved up and down slightly. his voice was warm, but there seemed to be some other emotion in it. “miss shi, i missed you too.”

“ms. shi, we haven’t seen each other for three days. even if you didn’t take the initiative to ask me out for lunch tomorrow afternoon, i would have looked for you tomorrow. by the way, send your orchids over. the small courtyard’s orchid plantation has been renovated.”

“you’ll send it over tomorrow?”

“yes.”

“Then do I have to go over every day to take care of her?”

I wanted you to look after her every day, but Ms. Shi, you must be very busy now that you have to prepare for your mid-term exams for your Master’s and PhD. You can go over occasionally. I’ll arrange for someone to look after her.

“But that’s a plain-crowned Lotus cauldron, it’s not easy to raise, can other people raise it well? Teacher Jiang, why don’t you stay in the bamboo garden and help me take care of it for a while? that’s your confession gift to me, I can’t bear to spoil it. ”

A confession gift?

Mingwei’s heart fell to the bottom of the valley.

Just now, when Shi Yan said that she missed him, he could still lie to himself and tell himself that this Mr. Jiang might be an elder or relative of Shi Yan. It was also okay to say things like ” I miss you ” to an elder or relative.

But now that Shi Yan had mentioned a confession, it was obvious that the other party was not her elder or relative.

jiang che had originally wanted to say that he would find someone to take care of the orchids and that they wouldn’t go bad easily. but when he heard that shi yan cared so much about his confession gift, he didn’t say this.

“Then I’ll listen to you. I’ll stay in the bamboo garden for a while.”

“But miss Shi, there are many flowers planted in the courtyard. You should go and take care of them when you have time.”

“alright,” he said.

actually, you don’t have to push yourself so hard. I will accompany you to finish your studies here. No matter how long it takes, I will be with you. Jiang che added.

Shi Yan felt sweet inside when she heard his words.

” i’m not forcing myself. i know what i’m doing. i just don’t want to waste all my time in school. i want to spend more time with you. ”

Jiang Che’s hand that was holding the teacup tightened, and his heart seemed to have tightened as well. His heart seemed to have missed a beat. He leaned back lazily and said with a low laugh, ” “Miss Shi, you’re really used to poking at my heart.”

“I’m telling the truth,” Shi Yan smiled.

The two of them laughed silently for a moment before Jiang che called out to her again, ” “Miss Shi.”

“What?”

“i need to discuss something with you.”

since the word “discuss” was used, it seemed to be a serious matter.

“Go ahead,”

“I’ve recently received news that quite a few people from the capital have come to Haicheng. They’re coming for me, but they don’t dare to come find me. I’m afraid they’ll bother you. I’ll send two people to protect you, alright?”

If he could, he wanted to protect her by himself.

However, she had to go to school, and he couldn’t possibly be there 24/7.

he had sent people to protect her without her permission out of respect for her.

He only brought this up after a few days because he knew what kind of person she was. She was good at fighting, and she didn’t like people following her all day. He had expected that she would not agree to his suggestion, so he only brought it up now and in a negotiating tone.

“Mr. Jiang, if I don’t agree, will you feel uneasy?” Shi Yan said after a pause.

“i will be uneasy. miss shi, i’m afraid you’ll be in danger.” he said honestly.

” i’m actually pretty good at fighting. i can protect myself. if you don’t believe me, let’s find a time to exchange a few moves. ”

Shi Yan sighed softly, but at the same time, he felt a little touched.

she was touched by his concern and concern for her.

“if you’re still worried, teacher jiang, you can send someone over.”

“you don’t like it.” He said with certainty.

“you clearly don’t like it, but you’re willing to force yourself to agree for me.”

Shi Yan smiled and said, ” I didn’t force you. It’s just two more people. It’s not a big deal.

jiang che fell silent, pursing his lips.

“Miss Shi, can you really protect yourself?” he asked after a while.

“i can.”
