Du Ke ran to the school early in the morning, but after rummaging, he still couldn't find anywhere.

Sitting in his chair with a dejected face, "Where else can I be placed?" After all, this is no joke.

I couldn't remember that I had put it in the pocket of that jacket, and I forgot to put it when I went home, and I wore it to play the next day.

Just when Du Ke was fidgeting about the bugging, as soon as he looked up, he saw Wang Yunjia hurriedly entering the house and walking towards him.

"The English tuition is scheduled in the afternoon, and in the morning, there is a returning entrepreneur who wants to give a speech at our school, and the teacher asks me to count the number of people. It's just you, will you participate?"

"Entrepreneur??" Duke muttered strangely.

But how can he have the leisure to accept this "edification".

Wang Yunjia saw that he looked absent-minded, and emphasized again, "If there is nothing to do, it's best to go and see, the teacher means to go to everything you can, it's on the second floor of the school auditorium." ”

As soon as the words fell, he heard Zhang Yu calling him at the door, "Wang Yunjia, the Chinese teacher told you to go!"

After Wang Yunjia answered, he put the leaflet on Du Ke's table. "Tell me if it's OK, I'll be back in a moment. With that, he walked out of the classroom.

Du Ke snorted worriedly.

I thought to myself, if Xia Su came after a while, if she asked, what should I say? Do I tell her the truth? Or I don't know what to do for a while.

I wanted to pick up the leaflet on the table and skim it off, but I was wondering if I should hurry home and look for it carefully.

As a result, his eyes swept away, and the words "Zhou Juanru" on the leaflet were eye-catching.

Du Ke was slightly shocked, Zhou Juanru? Isn't this Xia Su's mother?

There is a photo of her printed on the left side of the list, which is really similar to Xia Xu, although she is now in her early 40s, she still looks like a country and a city. The young ones seem to be in their 30s. Du Ke was a little emotional.

"He really deserves to be the hottest entrepreneur now. It must have been fillers, right? Looks younger than my mom. Be sure to see the real person and see it for yourself. ”

"I'm so envious, someone like her is so rich, other people's skin care products, beauty and the like must be the best, and she still uses hyaluronic acid? Ha ha. ”

"It's like, when I can be so famous. ”

"You, wait for seven or eight hundred years. ”

"You, huh!"

"Hahaha. ”

Behind him, the sound of discussion and laughter was mixed together, and the classroom was not lively. Doucle shook his head.

Continue to look at the content of the leaflet, which mainly talks about her public welfare cause of donating teaching instruments and equipment to several schools in the city, including elementary school, junior high school and high school, including GA, of course. And Huaxun was the first public school to receive a donation.

Du Ke quickly browsed it, and always felt an inexplicable doubt in his heart.

"GA, Watson...... Xia Su ......"

Could it be ......? Douce seemed to have something in mind.

"Wuyi Public Primary School, HT Private Primary School, HT Junior High School...... Could it be that Xia Xu used to study at the 'May Day' elementary school and HT?" Du Ke thought to himself.

Everyone seemed to be looking forward to this speech and excited, after all, it is not everyone who has the opportunity to see such a person in person.

Often such characters can be invited every year, which are aristocratic private schools like GA, and this year, Hua Xun will invite Zhou Juanru, and everyone thinks that Hua Xun was smashed by a once-in-a-century luck.

Du Ke knew from Xiaohui that Zhou Juanru had been abroad and divorced her husband very early. And this daughter has now been entrusted to take care of by the Sun family.

"Why don't you take her abroad to live with you?" Du Ke thought about it for the first time.

I remembered that Xia Xu had a fever in the car, moist eyes and eyelashes stained with tears. The sentence in the murmur, "Mom... Mom..."

aroused the empathetic distress and curiosity in Du Ke's heart.

It's just that in the face of the current Xia Xu, Du Ke has long been no longer just because of curiosity and distress, but more because he doesn't even know when he started, like a seed of a water lily, planted into his heart with deep affection......

Little by little, it spread in the bottom of his heart......

Until that day in the café, Xue Ziyang inadvertently asked, "You also like Xia Xu, right?"

It was only then that this water lily woke up from a long dream like a sleeping beauty, and it was out of control......

It's just that it was not the "princess" who woke it up by "kissing", but Xue Ziyang.

"She's back?...... Then, Xia Xu ...... "not as happy as others, Du Ke was a little uneasy."

In the morning, Sun Zuo went to the company to help, and just by the way, he sent Xia Xu to school first, and then went to pick up Sen Sen's tutor and go home to give Sen Sen tutoring.

On the way to school, Xia Xu kept wondering why Du Ke didn't reply to her messages all night, and picked up her phone from time to time to take a look. Still no news. She didn't notice when she started to care so much.

I think that at the beginning, she didn't care much about the messages he sent, and now she is a little anxious because she has not replied.

When he arrived at school, as soon as Xia Xu got out of the car, Sun Zuo's mobile phone rang.

When he heard Zhou Junxuan inform him that Zhou Juanru would go to Huaxun to give a speech first today, and then go to GA, Sun Zuo's mobile phone almost fell directly under the car seat.

"There is a temporary problem on GA's side, the contract at 3 pm cannot be delayed, and the recent itinerary really can't be adjusted. I can only go to Huaxun first. It will start at about nine o'clock and is expected to end at about half past ten...... Because it was decided on an ad hoc basis, Miss Xia was there...... Feed...... Xiao Zuo, are you listening?"

Looking at the time on the car's display screen, Sun Zuo swallowed,

In this way, Zhou Juanru should already be on her way here. Turning his head, he saw that Xia Xu was already mixed in with the bustling students...... It's impossible to stop her.

Sun Zuo knew about Zhou Juanru's return. Originally, I was going to take Xia Xu to dinner at night and try to resolve the misunderstanding. Now the plan is suddenly disrupted.

Sun Zuo had a hunch that things were going to get more and more tricky......

"Young Master Sun, are you going to go in to find Miss Xia?" or to the company?" Sun Zuo's assistant, Xiao Zhang, was holding the steering wheel.

Sun Zuo raised his head and sighed, but he only called at this time, could it be a deliberate arrangement from God?

"Forget it, it's too late. Sun Zuo sighed, he had to face it sooner or later. Looking at the main entrance of Huaxun High School in the rearview mirror, there was a touch of worry in his solemn eyes.

Slowly, he said, "Let's go first." ”

The car slowly left.

As soon as Xia Xu went up the steps of the teaching building, he saw Du Ke coming down.

Du Ke was stunned for a moment, his eyes lit up suddenly, he hooked the corners of his mouth without changing his true colors, and said with a smile: "Hey, you've been late for a long time today." ”

Xia Xu deliberately glanced in other directions, and then pretended to be casual and asked, "Why didn't the message I sent you yesterday reply to me?"

Sure enough, as expected, Xia Xu would ask himself at a moment's notice, and Du Ke was speechless for a while.

"What's wrong? Didn't you see the news?" Seeing that Du Ke's expression looked a little wrong, Xia Xu stared at him strangely with wide eyes.

Du Ke's cheeks were a little red when he saw it, and he didn't know the reason for his weak heart. "Yes, yes, yes. Hehe. Sorry hah. Hurriedly replied.

Xia Xu smiled slightly, "Hmm." Remember to give it to me next time. Now we're partners, aren't we? It's ...... for me and Sun Zuo to put it in your place."

Du Ke's face turned pale, "I understand." Hehe. I wanted to give it to you a long time ago, but I have this memory, and I'll bring it to you next time. ”

Although I hope that this "partner" can be replaced by Xia Xu's mouth as a "good friend".

"Hey, hurry, hurry, it's getting late. One by one, several students walked briskly down the stairs and passed them.

"What's wrong with them? Xia Xu looked at their figures going downstairs strangely and muttered to himself.

"Maybe it's going to the auditorium. After a while, there was a speech, it was an entrepreneur who donated teaching equipment to our school...... Du Ke hesitated to say the words "Zhou Juanru".

"Oh, I think I've heard someone say before that it's the entrepreneur who also donated a lot of equipment and money to GA? Let's go check it out. Xia Xu looked curious and expectant.

Seeing that Xia Xu didn't seem to know about Zhou Juanru's return to China. Du Ke was a little puzzled, and didn't know whether to ask directly. "Well, that, don't you know......?

"What?" Xia Xu turned around and was about to go down. Hearing Du Ke Yao's slurping, he stopped.

"Uh...... It's nothing. Du Ke squeezed out an embarrassed smile, and then walked close to her.

When I entered the auditorium, the seats inside were full of students.

The two of them had to find a position on the side and back, and as soon as they sat down side by side, Xia Xu obviously felt that the eyes around him from time to time were full of vinegar.

The occasional chatter and muttering, although not loud, still reached her ears clearly.

"Isn't this the girl from the first class? I heard that her conduct is not very good. ”

"Shhhhhh How bad it is to be heard. ”

"What are you afraid of. actually sat with Du Ke, Du Ke is really, how can he sit with that kind of person. Ay. ”

Doucle frowned and coughed vigorously. It was like a warning to them. A look of displeasure.

Just as Xia Xu was staring ahead, eager for the speech to start quickly, and quickly drowned out these slanderous voices, suddenly, he only felt a powerful warmth on his wrist, which penetrated his heart.

It turned out that Doucle had put his hand on her wrist.

Xia Xu understood that Du Ke hoped that she would not be affected by their discussions.

It's just that the moment she looked at him, she was still a little startled, and there was an invisible warmth in Du Ke's firm gaze, like a protective umbrella, covering her body.

At that moment, Xia Xu's eyes appeared again with the little boy on the beach that year.

Smile at yourself in the sun. As the waves crash against the beach, say to yourself, don't be afraid, I'll always be with you.

The height of the auditorium seats subtly obscures the position of the wrists.

Xia Xu didn't pull out his hand, but continued to stare straight ahead, as if nothing had happened. It's just that the reddened eye sockets make Du Ke feel very distressed.

Whether it was moved or wronged, Xia Xu didn't know. I just hope that this warmth will stay on my right wrist forever and never disappear away......

"Students, please be quiet!" the principal took the microphone, and the audience suddenly fell silent.

With the principal's grand invitation to this powerful female entrepreneur.

Xia Xu, like everyone, set his eyes on the door on the stage with great anticipation for the backstage guests to enter.

When Zhou Juanru walked up to the stage from behind the door with a gentle temperament, all the students stood up with cheers.

Only one person froze in his seat in disbelief. That's Xia Xu.

Zhou Juanru took the microphone with a smile and introduced herself to everyone.

Xia Xu only felt as if she had fallen into a dream in front of her, and her heart was pounding in her chest.

Xia Xu blinked vigorously. I must have read it wrong. She said to herself over and over again, that person just had the same name and surname, and they looked a little similar.

"Thank you classmates for their enthusiasm for me, I feel very honored to be able to come back here again after 10 years, and to be able to stand here and share my growth with you!" Zhou Juanru said emotionally on the stage, introducing her business abroad and the bits and pieces of her study.

Xia Xu listened word by word, as if the whole world was left with herself, her body was numb and unconscious, only the position of her heart remained, as if it had been deeply drilled into it with a scorching hook.

It's really her.

Is it 10 years...... No, it's 10 years, 9 months and 24 days.

Zhou Juanru's smile and words were constantly intertwined in Xia Su's mind with the one she had 10 years ago......

"Mom's favorite is the little floc. I also want to watch Xiao Su grow up and wear a wedding dress to get married. ”

"I'm also the happiest mom ever. ”

"Mom, where are you going?"

"Mom's ......"

"Don't follow me anymore! Go back to your father! Hear me! Get out of here!"

"Woo, Mom, don't leave me! Woo, Mom! ”

Xia Xu, who was covered in mud, was crying on the side of the road, but she still didn't look back and walked away with her suitcase.

That was the last memory of her mother in Xia Su's eyes.

"Hey, hey......" Du Ke shook her shoulder uneasily when he saw Xia Xu's tearful face.

Xia Xu came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly raised his hand to wipe the tears on his face desperately.

She's back, hehe, she's back.

But no matter how you wipe it, it will be covered with new tears in an instant. I can't wipe it clean.

"You ......" Du Ke had never seen Xia Xu like this.

Xia Xu glanced at him helplessly, that look, Du Ke will never forget for the rest of his life. It's like falling into the deep sea.

Watching her get up and run out of the auditorium.

Xue Ziyang was only one row away from Xia Xu, and he saw it from the time she and Du Ke entered the door.

I saw the figure of Xia Xu running towards the door of the auditorium and the expression of pear blossoms with rain. Xue Ziyang turned around and looked at him uneasily for a long time. He heard the ridicule of those girls just now.

Guilt and anger surged in Xue Ziyang's heart. But after the pain and helplessness, he could only be silent in his heart like an extinct volcano.

Lin Jiajia saw Xue Ziyang pretending to be uncomfortable and leaning towards Xue Ziyang's side because he saw Xia Xu leave, and Xue Ziyang was just about to get up, when he saw Du Ke take an arrow step, followed closely behind Xia Xu and ran towards the door of the auditorium.

Everyone listened to Zhou Juanru's speech on the stage with great interest for a while, and the applause one after another drowned out the sound of the auditorium door slamming behind Xia Su.

"Ziyang, the voice is so noisy. Lin Jiajia pretended to be coquettish and curled up even more on Xue Ziyang's shoulders.

Seeing that Du Ke was following Xia Xu, his arm was held by Lin Jiajia and couldn't get out.

Xue Ziyang sighed helplessly, and finally sat back slowly.

He knew that Lin Jiajia had been afraid of thunder since he was a child, and today's applause was indeed very loud, although it was certainly not as scary as thunder. But seeing that she was a little uncomfortable, Xue Ziyang asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Lin Jiajia hummed softly, and glanced at Xue Ziyang pitifully with a birdly look.

Xue Ziyang looked ahead, and his palm gently soothed Lin Jiajia's head. Absent-mindedly comforted her.

Seeing that Xue Ziyang still didn't chase him out, Lin Jiajia bent the corners of her mouth. continued to lie on Xue Ziyang's shoulder and refused to get up.

She didn't notice that Du Ke followed Xia Su out of the auditorium, thinking to herself that Xia Su must be crying outside alone now, right?

When he was proud, the hand on Xue Ziyang's arm moved unintentionally, but he saw that under the school uniform, Xue Ziyang actually carried the watch that Xia Xu bought for him.

The joy just now was replaced by a tightly locked eyebrow in an instant.

“...... It will definitely make Ziyang hate you. Lin Jiajia swore aggrievedly in her heart.
