Chen Xia

Chapter 31 Jealousy
Ye Mian felt a little sad.

He lowered his head and took the phone next to him, but the more he touched it, the more something was wrong. The phone case seemed thicker than usual.

She turned it over and opened it, and inside was the little red envelope she stuffed for Jiang Chen.

She asked the nurse for this red envelope paper. It had a gold-gilt pattern of a little bunny, and it looked very happy and beautiful.

Ye Mian's heart was full of mixed emotions.

Jiang Chen didn't take her red envelope.

The caregiver paid for it himself.

After putting down the red envelope, Ye Mian sat up straight and remained motionless.

After a long time.

She took a deep breath, picked up her phone again and sent Jiang Chen a message. It was hard not to blame him, so that the obvious grievance could be seen between the lines.

[Good Mian: Jiang Chen, why didn't you accept my red envelope?Do you have enough money now? 】

Ye Mian couldn't imagine Jiang Chen at this age, what job he could rely on to support himself, but he didn't need to think about it, his life must be very difficult.

By the time she received Jiang Chen's reply, it was already the next day.

Ye Mian only saw his message after getting up and washing up.

[Jiang Chen: Enough. 】

Just one word.

And with a full stop.

Ye Mian looked out the window of the ward speechlessly, the boss is aloof.

After receiving such an answer, Ye Mian was still dubious.

After a while, she sent him another one.

[Hao Mian: When I am discharged from the hospital, can I treat you to a meal? 】

Then, she hesitantly typed out several paragraphs in the dialog box.

It was deleted because it was inappropriate.

Finally, I posted a message at the end.

[Good Sleep: I should be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. Thank you for taking care of me. 】

-

the next afternoon.

Ye Mian was discharged from the hospital.

Her waist is not healed yet, but she can barely get out of bed and walk.

The doctor prescribed several boxes of plasters for her,
It only takes 15 minutes by taxi from the hospital to the old city, but it took Ye Mian 10 minutes just to walk from the inpatient department to the hospital gate.

The driver was very enthusiastic and kindly helped her to the car.

The weather outside the car window turned from sunny to overcast, with large cirrocumulus clouds floating in the sky like sheep, the sun appearing and disappearing, and the strong wind blowing the fallen leaves.

After returning home, Ye Mian carefully closed all the doors and windows of the whole family. What happened last time was so shocking that she no longer dared to be careless.

After everything is done.

She then lay down on the bed with peace of mind and opened Jiang Chen's WeChat.

Jiang Chen still didn't reply to her.

After thinking about it, she clicked on Jiang Chen's profile picture and changed his note to his name.

The pain in her waist came back again. Ye Mian moved a folding table and put it on the bed, enduring the pain and started doing her homework.

In the third year of high school, there are less vacations and more homework.

The homework of the six subjects stacked together is very heavy.

Ye Mian wrote slowly late into the night.

The autumn wind is still blowing wildly outside the window.

She only realized belatedly that it was late and it was time to go to bed.

She pulled the quilt to cover her eyes, hugged the soft pillow beside her, and kept thinking about a question in her mind, feeling empty and uncomfortable in her heart.

What does it mean that Jiang Chen didn't reply?

Doesn't he want to eat with him?
It seems that no matter how close he is, Jiang Chen is still elusive.

-

After the National Day holiday.

It was getting brighter.

The sparrow outside the window chirped several times along with the melodious alarm bell.

Ye Mian turned off her phone and got up to go to school in a daze.

After resting for so many days, my back injury is almost healed.

October was rainy and cloudy, and the trees on the campus were covered with golden dead leaves. When the wind blew, they flew everywhere, and the sky was gray.

Ye Mian stared at the two big black circles that appeared in front of the school. The hands of the clock had just passed 06:30.

She was the first to arrive in the classroom, and it was not yet time for morning reading. It took 10 minutes for students to arrive one after another.

They gathered in a circle, talking gossip about the students in each class.

Ye Mian couldn't help but squint and smile, sighing that everyone had the same youth. The students in Class [-] had excellent grades and would gather together to talk small talk.

But after a while, Ye Mian stopped laughing.

She heard them seem to be discussing Jiang Chen.

The boy's voice during the voice change period is like a male duck, hoarse and harsh, and full of jealousy: "He is number one in the school. That's not all. When I handed in my homework in the office, I heard the teacher say that he is basically an orphan without parents."

Another person was surprised: "Then what does he do for a living?"

"..."

This problem is beyond the scope of everyone's understanding.

The young girl fell into silent thinking.

Someone said: "Who knows, what can we do at our age? He must be earning dirty money."

The immature boys and girls heard this, with a look of disdain on their faces. However, after all, they coveted Ye Mian, who was Jiang Chen's front desk. She was sitting there, and no one said anything too unpleasant, "Oh, don't worry about other people's dirty money." It’s not dirty, my grades are so good.”

Ye Mian curled up her fingers and wanted to retort loudly, but they had stopped their boring discussion.

Ye Mian thought for a while, took out a box of milk from her bag, and put it on Jiang Chen's desk.

She likes to drink milk very much, but at this moment, she very much hopes that Jiang Chen will grow up soon after drinking milk.

Can become a stronger person.

So powerful that I no longer have to suffer from the current wind and rain.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Jiang Chen stepped into the classroom. Everyone's expressions became more subtle, with sympathy, exclamation, and contempt.

But Jiang Chen didn't seem to notice these small movements, and just opened the chair lightly and sat down.

Ye Mian was startled. She seemed to see the young man passing by the desk. There were dark circles under his eyes, which were heavier than she had not slept well in several days.

Jiang Chen looked at the milk on the table and threw it into the drawer without hesitation.

Ye Mian blinked and hesitated to speak. The teacher had already stood on the podium.

During the first period of class, Jiang Chen was called away by the teacher.

Just a few minutes after leaving the classroom.

Suddenly, many girls from other classes walked in. One after another went out and then came in. They passed by Ye Mian and put drinks on Jiang Chen's table.

There are all kinds of drinks, including orange juice, soda, and the same brand of milk as Ye Mian.

Ye Mian seemed to understand what Jiang Chen had just done, and sighed that good looks were indeed one of Jiang Chen's advantages.

Just thinking about it, Ye Mian saw a person standing beside her.

It was Li Hao, who was in the same class. He casually put a bottle of coconut juice on Ye Mian's table. It was the latest drink at the moment. He said with a green face: "Ye Mian, please drink coconut juice. My parents came from Thailand." I brought it back and it tastes very good.”

Ye Mian suddenly remembered that she was also a pretty little girl.

However, she has never been good at accepting these kindnesses calmly.

Especially this boy, he still had the same drake voice that just spoke ill of Jiang Chen.

A faint cool breeze came in from the window next to it, Ye Mian shook her head, her voice was gentle and bright: "Thank you, I can't drink it anymore, you can give it to someone else."

The boy pursed his lips, looked at the girl's firm eyes, and returned to the table dejectedly.
