The stand-in is just for fun, the sponsor is serious

Chapter 44

Jiang Shu nestled obediently in his arms and whispered a few trivial things about cooking.

The kitchen has a strong smell of fireworks, and the fragrance of food flows in this space.

The two stayed warm for a while, and came to the dining table when the food was warm.

The purple potato and rice porridge is soft and thick, and the small green vegetables are also fried and delicious.

After eating supper, it was getting late, and the wall clock showed 10:20,
Although she just took a nap, Jiang Shu fell asleep quickly. When she was drinking the last bit of porridge, her little head was shaking little by little.

Cheng Xiyu thought it was funny, seeing that the silly fox's chin was about to touch the porridge bowl, a big hand with well-defined knuckles crossed the dining table and gently lifted her small face.

Jiang Shu half-opened her sparkling peach eyes in a daze, looked at him without focus, and closed her eyes reassuringly after confirming that he was not threatening.

"……………………"

Why are you so stupid.

It's not winter yet, and the little lover needs to hibernate.

Cheng Xiyu's heart softened very much, he has always been like this recently.

Cheng Xiyu didn't know what this meant, he had only been in love once, but in that only one love, he had never experienced such obvious mood swings.

Whatever Bai Yiyi did within his tolerance, he would let her do it. He would not be angry because of her, nor had he had such strong feelings because of her. He seemed to have always been gentle and conniving.

But is true love like this?

Does his mother love his father? , her love is so crazy, she always uses self-harm or hurt others to get Cheng's father's attention time and time again.

Xi Lanjing would be overjoyed because of Cheng's father's sudden return home, and would also lose her manners because of Cheng's father's words, saying the most vicious and hurtful words in the world.

Cheng Xiyu thought, this is not love, it is just terrible possessiveness, unwillingness, and delusion.

But Jiang Shu is different.

She has always been different.

Cheng Xiyu slowly grabbed her cheek, stood up lightly and hugged her in a daze,
Jiang Shu's consciousness was stunned, and when she smelled the familiar breath, she leaned her head in his arms with peace of mind.

A good night's dream.

--------------

Early the next morning.

Although the matter at Nantah University has been resolved by the little lover by herself, there are still many strange things about this matter,

It's too much.How could a university with a long history come up with paintings that it didn't know were true or false in such a serious competition.And this painting is so precious, how could B University have it, and how could two students be willing to take it out as a competition item.

It's more like someone made a round, but I don't know if this round was deliberately set up for Jiang Shu, or if Jiang Shu entered this round by mistake.

If it's the second kind, it's okay, if it's the first kind...

He could only say that the man behind him hit the gun.

"Check out yesterday's NTU game, is there anyone behind the scenes?",
After sending the message to Wang Ye, Cheng Xiyu checked the time, it was past seven in the morning.

Without waking up Jiang Shu who was still sleeping soundly, he took out the dishes from the dishwasher last night and put them neatly into the disinfection cabinet.I made some simple breakfast again, adjusted some meat stuffing, and quickly wrapped two small dishes of small wontons.

Boil a plate of water, and put the remaining plate in the freezer above the refrigerator.

While waiting for the wontons to be cooked, he took out a post-it note from the desk drawer in the study, wrote a few words and pasted it on the refrigerator.

When Jiang Shu woke up, Cheng Xiyu had already left for the company.

The battery of the mobile phone is full, she opened it and took a look, and the WeChat message was 99+.

Except for some messages in the group, there were also messages from Bai Shuxi and Lin Miaomiao. Jiang Shu swiped down and Xiang Jiamu also sent her a message.

[Senior Brother Bai]: Junior sister, I just came back to Nanshi yesterday and saw a post on the campus forum of Nantah University. How is the teacher?I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, and nothing happened to my junior sister. In fact, I was also to blame. As a senior, I didn't go to the competition site, so my junior sister was bullied.

What does this have to do with Senior Brother Bai? Even if Senior Brother goes, what should appear will appear.

[Junior Sister]: There is nothing serious about the teacher, brother, don't worry, this is my business, not the brother's fault.

After replying to this message, there was no reply immediately, Jiang Shu opened the dialog box with Lin Miaomiao again,

Lin Miaomiao is also a student of Nantah University. She is also very clear about what happened yesterday. She sent a message to Jiang Shu yesterday. Jiang Shu didn't look at her phone until she saw it.

【Lin Miaomiao】: "!!!"

[Lin Miaomiao]: "Sister Shushu! Woohoo, you are too good! I watched that video, they are too much!"

[Lin Miaomiao]: "I met people from University B on the forum yesterday, and I made them so angry that they didn't dare to reply to me. It's so cool!... Sister Shushu, are you okay?"

She posted three messages in a row, and Jiang Shu could see her concern and excitement from between the lines.

I couldn't help but smiled slightly, it was a wonderful feeling to be protected by a girl.

[Sister Shushu]: "It's okay, thank you. Really."

call……

... Why did Xiang Jiamu send her a message, and it was also for this matter?
【Xiang Jiamu】: "Be careful of Mo Qian."

【Xiang Jiamu】: "Are you free, can I call you?"

?Mo Qian?who is this
Jiang Shu thought about it carefully in her mind, but she couldn't find any information about this person. She was sure that she had no contact with this Mo Qian, so what did Xiang Jiamu mean by telling her to be careful about Mo Qian?

Xiang Jiamu's WeChat ID is 11 digits, it should be his mobile phone number, Jiang Shu hesitated for a while and still called.

She has to figure this out.

Beep...beep...beep...

The phone rang a few times and was picked up by the other party.

"Jiang...cough, Miss Jiang." Through the cold mobile phone radio waves, Xiang Jiamu's voice was clear and a little mellow. He seemed a little unaccustomed to talking on the phone with her whom he hadn't seen a few times, and he was a little nervous flustered.

"...Hello, um..., can I ask what you mean by that message?"

"..." There was silence for a while, as if thinking of words: "... Mo Qian is the mayor's son, and he grew up with us. Because of some... things, his relationship with Xi Yu is not very good Well, maybe because of that, he might be a little hostile towards you."

Jiang Shu was a little puzzled: "Why are you hostile to me?"

Although Mo Qian and Cheng Xiyu have a bad relationship, they are both people on the scene. How could they deliberately target her because of the small reason of bad relationship, and it is still aimed at her, which makes no sense.

"...Anyway, be careful, if you need anything, you can talk to Xiyu first."

Xi Yu still cared about...Jiang Shu's.

Of course he knew that Mo Qian deliberately set Jiang Shu up because of Bai Yiyi - but he couldn't say.

This is not appropriate.This is Xi Yu's private matter, he cannot cross this line.

She didn't know about Bai Yiyi's existence yet, if he said it, what would happen if there was a problem in the relationship between Xi Yu and Jiang Shu.

He has some unexplainable secret thoughts about Jiang Shu, but he doesn't bother to use this method,
A gentleman does something and doesn't.

Jiang Shu pursed her lips, and said in a warm voice, "Okay. Thank you, Mr. Xiang, for telling me this."

"...Mr. Xiang, I owe you another favor."

The last time I helped her hide some things, this time I told her again.

She owed Xiang Jiamu another favor.

This kind of unreasonable kindness always overwhelmed her, and he had no reason to help her.

The other side was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice, "...you don't owe me, even if I don't tell you, Xiyu will protect you..."

It's messed up if I care.

Jiang Shu: "..." Will he do it?

After hanging up the phone for a while, Jiang Shu came to his senses, Cheng Xiyu should know it.

Even if he doesn't like her, as long as the two of them haven't separated, Cheng Xiyu won't let others bully her.

It has nothing to do with romantic love, he just doesn't allow anyone to offend the people in his territory.

The time showed nine o'clock in the morning, and Jiang Shu's stomach ached from hunger.

She walked into the kitchen slowly, she was the only one in the house, just order some noodles to eat.

She was just about to open the refrigerator door when she saw the post-it note on it—there were small wontons on the second layer above the refrigerator, and she cooked and ate them herself when she woke up.

Jiang Shu took a quick look and knew it was his handiwork.

Cheng Xiyu has a little habit of wrapping wontons, which he doesn't even know about.

He always subconsciously pinches the wonton wrappers without fillings after wrapping them up, leaving a small half depression that is not obvious.

Cheng Xiyu is usually very busy, and she didn't come to the Central Mansion very often before. She only moved in in the past few months, but she seems to have memorized many little habits about him.

For some reason, Jiang Shu suddenly remembered the day when he made wontons for the first time——

It was a New Year's Day last year, and it was snowing heavily. Jiang Shu had just completed a project with her teacher. After returning to the Central Mansion, she found Cheng Xiyu had come.
He sat in the dark, his eyes were cold, his whole body was silent, and he had no expression when he looked up at her.

Jiang Shu asked him what he wanted to eat, and he was a little dazed. After a while, he asked calmly, "What should I eat on New Year's Day? Dumplings?"

She looked at him with a strange expression, and Cheng Xiyu's eyes became even colder, just when he wanted to say "whatever"——

Jiang Shu said in a low voice: "I'm not very good at making dumplings, can wontons be okay?"

Cheng Xiyu: "... yes."

Her wontons were actually not very well wrapped. Cheng Xi looked at them lightly for a while, and tried one. Surprisingly, the wontons were not badly wrapped. After wrapping a few more, they were already much more presentable than hers.

...........................

She thought she had almost forgotten it, but now that she thought about it, she even remembered how many bags he made that day.

It was the first time in three years that she ate wontons again.

Cheng Xiyu did it.

Jiang Shu boiled the water and put the small and exquisite wontons in one by one. She lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes cast a half-circle shadow on the eyelids.

The wontons were delicious, and Jiang Shu was just full after eating the last one. After finishing the dishes, she went to the room for a live broadcast meeting.

.........

At the same time, Bai Shuxi of the Bai family looked at his sister with an unhappy expression.

Bai Yiyi was very afraid of this big brother. The two grew up together, and no one knew better than her what kind of personality his big brother had.

The surface is gentle and humble, but in fact it is very cold.

"Brother, you just came back, why are you looking at me like that if you don't go back to your room to rest?" Bai Yiyi muttered with some complaints.

Bai Shuxi: "You asked Mo Qian to do it?"

He was also at the auction of "Zhang Sanju" for the last time that year. Naturally, he knew that the Mo family finally got this famous painting. Now that University B can present this painting for the competition, it has nothing to do with Mo Qian. Who will believe it?

The mayor's son had liked Yiyi for so many years, so he really had to suspect that Bai Yiyi had something to do with it.

"..." She glanced at her elder brother with some guilt, and her voice lowered a lot when she spoke again: "...What's the matter?"

"Don't play dumb with me."

Bai Yiyi: "I didn't ask Mo Qian to do anything, I just said... that she is very powerful, I really want to meet her..." The more she spoke, the lower her voice became, and at the end she could barely hear her.
Bai Shuxi: "..." Alas.

"Yi, he's not suitable for you."

Hearing this, Bai Yiyi suddenly became anxious——

"Why! Ayu also likes me. In the past...I used to be too aggressive and didn't care about his feelings," she paused for a while and continued: "Now I'm back, she's just a fake, bro, look Won't you come out? She's just my substitute, the one Ayu really loves is me!"

"…………"

Yeah?Cheng Xiyu still only regards her as a substitute now, he feels a little suspenseful.

Men know men best.

Cheng Xiyu is indeed very nice to Yi Yi, but that is not love, at least not the love a man has for a woman.

But Yiyi is different, she really loves Cheng Xiyu.

"You want to reconcile with Cheng Xiyu, you go directly to him and talk to him, but" his tone became a little more serious: "you don't touch Jiang Shu."

In case Cheng Xiyu really fell in love with Jiang Shu, if Yiyi tried to make a move on her, Cheng Xiyu might not miss the old love.

Bai Yiyi: "Brother, have you fallen in love with her? - I know she is your junior sister." She lowered her head and said without expression.

"…………"

"You don't have to worry, what am I going to do with her? She's a fake, I really don't bother to argue with her."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Bai Shuxi to say anything else, she returned to the room with her mobile phone.

Bai Shuxi: "..." I hope so.

...............

The twilight outside the window is dim, and the scenery is hazy.I used to think that the south of the Yangtze River is rainy, but now I find that it is often light rain in Nanshi in late autumn.

Jiang Shu sat behind the desk, stretched out her hand and slowly opened a window in front of her, letting the cool autumn wind carry the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus in,
The wind picked up, blowing the half-read books on the table——

"get away"

Jiang Shu took out the golden bookmark to hold down the flipping book, and stayed on the page she just finished reading——

There are shallow markings on the page, and the black signature pen draws a straight line under a line of text——

Are we fleeing or running away all our lives?

The lights in the study were not turned on, Jiang Shu lit a small chandelier, the flame in the glass bottle was not blown to and fro by the wind, only the green bamboo leaves on the window frame swayed slightly, and some shadows were printed on the wall.

Covered with bamboo and cypress shadows.

Jiang Shu read a few more pages of the book, felt her eyes a little sore, and finally put down the book.

The sky outside the wooden window changed from bright to yellowish, from yellowish to misty and rainy.
