"You...... What did you say?! ”

Jiang Liequan thought that she was unwilling, and hurriedly added: "I know that the tuition fees of sports students are a little more expensive than those of ordinary students, but I have saved about 10,000 yuan from my part-time job this year, and the living expenses are not a problem for the time being, and I will go to odd jobs to find a way to pay for the tuition later......

Fang Shuyi looked at his expression, it didn't look like she was lying, but what was the matter with these words she heard?

She knows her son very well, his temper is as stubborn as a cow, she can't persuade him to come back when he skips school every day, and he later decided to suspend school.

She only has such a precious son, and she really can't do anything about him, she just wants him to live in peace, and the rest will go with him, and she doesn't expect him to go to college at all, and this matter is over. But what kind of wind is blowing today? He even took the initiative to say that he wanted to go to college?!

Fang Shuyi's body shook, if she hadn't sat on the sofa, she was afraid that she would have collapsed to the ground.

"Mom? Mother? Jiang Liequan waved his hand in front of her, thinking that she had fainted.

Fang Shuyi reached out to take the teacup on the coffee table, but her hands trembled.

After drinking more than half a cup of cold water in one go, she stabilized her mood a little, and then asked again: "Son, don't lie to your mother, do you really want to go to college?" ”

Jiang Liequan nodded, and his tone was very serious: "Yes, I want to read L University." ”

Although she was very happy that her son had figured out that he was willing to go to college, Fang Shuyi was very interested in the opportunity for him to go to college - you know, no matter how hard he tried to persuade him, he couldn't listen to it at all, why did he suddenly open up when he went out to play a game today?

"How many times have Mom persuaded you before, but you didn't want to, what happened?"

As soon as he asked the reason, Jiang Liequan refused to say anything—he planned to keep the matter a secret until he didn't catch up with Shi Nuannuan.

So, he made up another reason to prevaricate: "It's nothing, it's just that I went to Wang Yue today, and I saw that several of them were admitted to college, and I thought I should also go to study one." Although the cultural class is not good, Wang Yue said that I can still follow the path of a sports student, so I want to give it a try. ”

Fang Shuyi couldn't be happier anymore, she was so moved by her son's sudden change that she almost cried, she said several "good" words in a row, and rubbed her hands again and again: "You don't have to worry about tuition and living expenses, Mom will save it for you!" School is going to start the day after tomorrow, right? You wait, I'll take out the bank card, you go to the interview tomorrow, and if you are admitted, you will pay the tuition directly, do you hear? ”

With that, she got up hurriedly and happily went into the bedroom to get her bank card.

After taking a shower, Jiang Liequan printed out a resignation report on his computer, and then lay on the bed and tossed and turned, but he couldn't sleep. One is because of nervousness, and the other is because of excitement.

He really wanted to tell Shi Nuannuan about it, but then he thought about it: If he passed the interview tomorrow and went directly to the school to report the day after tomorrow, wouldn't it be better to surprise her?

Thinking like this, he drifted off to sleep with a satisfied smile.

The next day, Jiang Liequan got up early and rushed to the café, found Sun Meitang and handed in his resignation report.

Someone resigned for two days in a row, and Sun Meitang was very dissatisfied and disagreed with his resignation: "What reason? ”

"There's no reason for me to do it myself." Jiang Liequan was already at odds with her, but now he has made up his mind not to do it, let alone take her seriously.

Sun Meitang pointed to the resignation report on the table, snorted coldly and said: "You signed the contract, and now you won't do it, how can there be such a good thing?" If you decide to leave, you won't be paid this month's salary. ”

It's the end of the month now, and if you don't pay your salary, it's like you're working for nothing, but if you stay up for two more days and wait until your salary is paid, the school will already be open. What's more, Sun Meitang now knows that he is leaving, and it is still a question whether he can give the whole month's salary. Maybe she will pick a bone in the egg, deliberately find an excuse to deduct everything, and when the salary is in hand, she may have a few cents left.

Thinking about it like this, Jiang Liequan didn't care anymore, and said with a wave of his hand: "I don't want the salary, I'll leave today!" ”

Sun Meitang didn't expect him to be so resolute in his idea of resigning, and wanted to stop him, but he had already patted his ass and walked out of the office.

When he got downstairs, he went to the locker room to pick up his leftover belongings, and happened to run into Zhou Manni, who had changed into work clothes and was about to go to work.

I saw that her face was haggard, her lips were pale, and there were two big dark circles under her originally bright eyes, which looked like she usually looked like after staying up all night. But what she usually pays the most attention to is "beauty sleep", and she will never stay up all night.

"What's wrong with you? This is a ghostly picture. He asked casually as he cleaned up his cupboard.

Zhou Manni didn't seem to hear his question, looked at him in a daze, and then suddenly asked, "Are you leaving?" ”

"yes, I just asked the old woman to resign."

He didn't have many things, except for a few clothes and a pair of shoes, he quickly folded them and stuffed them into his school bag, but before he could close the zipper, Zhou Manni grabbed his bag.

"What?" Jiang Liequan was taken aback by her.

"Why are you leaving?!"

She used the word "also", Jiang Liequan thought she was talking about Shi Nuannuan's resignation, grinned, and explained: "I discussed it with my mother last night, and I think it's better for me to go back to study." I'm going to have an interview at the school in a moment. ”

Zhou Manni's hand loosened, but she didn't let go: "Is it because of Nuan Nuan?" ”

Jiang Liequan scratched his head embarrassedly, and did not answer directly, but it was equivalent to acquiescence: "I know that I can't keep up with my cultural classes, but I can still follow the path of a sports student." Going to college is also a fulfillment of one of my mother's wishes. ”

Zhou Manni looked at his slightly shy face, his face was even more gray, and muttered, "You go too, he will go too...... You're all leaving, it's all because of the warmth of the time......"

Jiang Liequan couldn't hear what she was saying: "What did you say?" What do you guys? ”

Zhou Manni looked at him straightly, and suddenly sneered: "You don't know, Chen Kaiyu also resigned." ”

"What?!" Jiang Liequan's eyes widened.

It turned out that three people had submitted their resignations for two consecutive days, and he understood why the old woman would oppose his resignation just now, and threaten himself to stay without paying his salary.

"Didn't that kid just do it for a week, why did he leave? No wonder the old woman showed me her face just now, and I did it for nothing! The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

"Why?" Zhou Manni bit her lip and said hatefully, "It's not because Nuan Nuan resigned yesterday, so he can't wait to hand in the resignation report!" ”

"You mean, he resigned because Nuan Nuan was leaving?" Jiang Liequan's heart suddenly sounded an alarm bell.

He didn't expect that kid to come for real.

But at the same time, he was more worried about Zhou Manni in front of him, because her mental state seemed to be really poor.

"Mannie, you...... Are you okay? ”

He remembered that she seemed to like that little white face, and that the two of them were the only ones who didn't attend last night's breakout, and his intuition made him think that something must have happened between the two of them.

Zhou Manni wanted to speak and stopped, and finally just reminded him: "I don't know why, Chen Kaiyu likes Shi Nuan Nuan more than I imagined." ”

"What?" He didn't quite understand.

"We've been working together for a year, and I'll tell you about my sixth sense as a woman." She wrinkled her eyebrows and said, "I think he has an obsession, I don't know what the reason is, but he is likely to follow Shi Nuannuan's side, you should be careful yourself." ”

Jiang Liequan watched her walk out of the locker room, thinking about the last words she said, wondering if she had gone crazy because of her crush.

Sakura Garden.

Shi Nuannuan looked at the admission letter that I don't know how many times, and she was full of expectations in her heart, and she also had a vision for her future college life - she could finally go to college!

From the moment her parents had an accident, she knew that the long road of life in the future could only go on her own, and the only fair path for her was to study hard. Entering the campus that she has been missing for a long time is the only motivation that has supported her to be strong until now.

"Miss Shi, the meal is ready." There were two knocks on the door, and it was Aunt Pei who came up to call her for dinner.

Shi Nuan Nuan responded: "Okay, come right away." ”

She folded up the admission letter, carefully put it into the small backpack she was carrying, and placed it properly before walking out the door.

When I arrived at the restaurant, Aunt Pei was still alone, and there was no third person in the whole room except for the two of them, which seemed empty, and Shi Nuannuan felt a burst of loneliness from her heart.

She suddenly thought of Han Munian, in addition to his busy work during the day, he could only return here to live alone at night, did he have a sense of loneliness at a glance?

Seeing her coming, Aunt Pei wiped her hands with her apron and greeted with a smile: "Miss Shi, come and sit, you can start dinner." ”

Shi Nuannuan pulled over the chair and sat down, seeing that the seat next to him was still empty, and there was only the pair of chopsticks in front of him on the dining table, remembering that Han Munian would not be able to return to China until the day after tomorrow, he couldn't help but say to Aunt Pei: "Aunt Pei, I can't finish so many dishes alone, can you sit down and eat with me?" ”

"That's not good, we who are servants in the Han family must abide by the rules of the Han family, and we never eat at the main table." Aunt Pei waved her hand again and again.

Shi Nuannuan insisted: "I am a poor student, not a member of the Han family, you talk to me, you are still an elder, and I feel awkward to sit and eat alone." Besides, there are no outsiders here but us, so sit down and eat with me, or I'll feel uncomfortable looking at it. ”

Aunt Pei still shook her head: "This rule is a rule, no matter whether the Han family is in us or not, we must abide by it." Besides, Han Shao personally took you to live in Sakura Garden, which means that you are already a person next to Han Shao, and you must pay attention when you go out to do errands and talk in the future, don't let others laugh at you. ”

Aunt Pei would warn her like this for her own good, Shi Nuannuan could tell right from wrong, and nodded in response.

When she returned to the bedroom after dinner, she was about to take a shower when her mobile phone rang, and it turned out to be a call from Shifeng, who had not seen her for several days.

"Hey, Brother Shifeng?"

There was a deep breathing sound from the other end of the earpiece, and after a pause of a few seconds, I heard Shi Feng's voice: "Nuan Nuan, have you slept?" ”

"Not yet, is there anything wrong?"

"I didn't ...... It's nothing, I just don't know if you've been doing well these two days, there's nothing inconvenient about living in someone else's house, right? Have you been wronged? If you have any difficulties, just let me know, and I'll help you figure it out. ”

When I heard this, a warm current crossed my heart-in the Shi family, there is still this cousin who cares about him.

"It's good, my uncle and aunt are also very good, and they take care of me, don't worry."

I couldn't tell if it was a loss that she didn't need help or a sigh that she could live well away from home, Shi Feng didn't answer, and there was silence in the earpiece.

Shi Nuannuan bit her lip and hesitated for a while, and took the lead in breaking the deadlock: "Are they okay with Uncle and Auntie?" ”

"It's all okay......" Shi Feng's tone became a little perfunctory when the two of them were mentioned.

How the two of them have treated the uncle's family over the years, he sees it in his eyes; After the unexpected death of his uncle and aunt, how they forced Nuan Nuan to leave the house, he not only saw it in his eyes, but also remembered it in his heart.

He didn't have the courage to stand up for Nuan Nuan, not only because of his identity as the adopted son of the Shi family. He is not an ungrateful person, no matter how bad his adoptive parents are to Nuan Nuan, he still has the grace of nurturing himself. In addition, the most important point is that he has not yet graduated, has not yet had a stable job, and needs the financial support of his adoptive parents to gain a firm foothold in society.

After some deliberation, he felt that it was the most unprofitable time to break up with his family for the sake of warmth, so he thought that after two years, he could be with her forever.

Shi Nuannuan naturally didn't know that he had a small calculation in his heart at this time, but he felt a kind of warmth in his concern.

"Thank you, Brother Shifeng."

Shi Feng didn't feel too happy about her politeness, he thought that he was so familiar with her that he didn't need to say "thank you".

"Ah Feng, come down and eat fruit!"

The sharp soprano sounded abruptly, which was particularly recognizable, and Shi Nuan could tell that it was her aunt Shi Chang.

"I see." Shi Feng hurriedly covered her mobile phone and turned around to answer, but her voice had already been heard by Shi Nuannuan.

He felt embarrassed, but Shi Nuannuan explained it for him: "Brother Shi Feng, you go first, An An just called me something." ”

"Okay, I'll get in touch another day, bye."

"Bye-bye."
