The road to the library is about to cross the playground.

It's close to noon, and although it's autumn weather, the midday sun is still fierce. Xiang Tianwen looked at the girls who were training in shorts and shorts on the playground, and pulled the corners of his mouth.

Maybe one day in the near future, he will also see Xu Sirou on the playground, outside the dormitory, and in class. At that time, he will ......

"Classmates." A calm, cold voice interrupted his thoughts, drawing his gaze back from the playground as well.

The man standing in front of him was dressed in a delicate and decent lead-gray thin wool suit, the straight milky white lines on the suit added a bit of casual meaning to this heavy color, the neckline diamond pin was shining, and there was a platinum pocket watch chain hanging on the chest and abdomen, which made the owner of this dress more noble and elegant.

It was about a friend of the school manager.

Sure enough, the visitor immediately asked, "How do I get to the principal's office?" ”

Xiang Tianwen smiled and pointed not far away: "It's the gray-roofed hut in the corner." ”

The visitor looked into the distance and nodded, "Thank you." ”

Xiang Tianwen looked at his back and was stunned for a while, vaguely as if he felt that this person was a little familiar. After thinking about it for a while, I remembered that this was the eldest young master of the Tan family who had just made public the marriage news not long ago, and wanted to marry his daughter-in-law who had been scheduled by his mother when he was a child.

I heard that he still stayed in the ocean.

Xiang Tianwen shook his head helplessly, it seems that even if his family background is prosperous and his thinking is progressive, it will be difficult to change the old concept of feudal remnants in most people's hearts.

Xu Sirou did not stay in the school office for long, and after understanding the tuition and miscellaneous fees with the director in charge of admissions, she left. Seeing that Xiang Tianwen was not at the door, she had to walk back the way she came from with her memory.

In the atrium is a tall pear tree with a lot of fruit hanging from its branches. It's just that it's not ripe yet, and even the air seems to be filled with that sour smell.

The director's words kept circling in her mind - the tuition fee can be waived, but it will cost at least a hundred yuan a year, or nearly nine yuan a month.

And this is already the cheapest new school in Ningzhou City.

"Silk." A male voice behind her stopped her. It was Xiang Tianwen who caught up, "What, have you asked clearly?" ”

Xu Sirou nodded, lowered her eyelashes, and sighed faintly: "God ask, I may not be able to study here." ”

"Why?" As soon as Xiang Tian asked, he immediately reacted, "Is it because of the tuition fee?" ”

Xu Sirou didn't answer, she just acquiesced.

He looked her up and down: "But you ......"

Her lowered gaze swept down his gaze to herself.

Yes, who would believe that this woman, dressed in fine satin clothes, with delicate buttons on her chest and jewels on her neckline, could not even pay eight or nine yuan a month for tuition?

"Your mother and brother...... Don't you agree with coming out to study? Xiang Tian asked, puzzled.

In his impression, she has a family, and her mother is kind and her brother is generous.

"Then ......" Xu Sirou bit her lip, hesitated, and said truthfully, "That's not my mother and brother, it's my mother-in-law and fiancé." ”

Xiang Tian asked and heard the words, and was stunned for a moment: "You ......"

"I'm the year-old daughter-in-law of that family." Although she lowered her head, Xiang Tianwen could still see that her delicate face was blue and white for a while.

The courtyard was silent, and the two of them were silent for a moment, except for the slight brushing sound of the wind blowing through the treetops and stirring the leaves.

The bird landed on the branch and looked down at the two silent people in the courtyard.

After a long time, I heard Xiang Tianwen's voice ringing: "Then do you still want to go to school?" ”
