She Is From The Countryside - Chapter 115
115 Ask her what month her birthday was
Shi Yan’s body stiffened and she stopped in her tracks.
The hand that was holding her wrist slowly slid down her wrist and held her hand.
his palm was warm.
!!
Shi Yan had thought that he would give an explanation or even make up an excuse, but he didn’t. He only said,”Miss Shi, let’s go.”
he held her hand tightly and led her towards the dark stone path.
His steps were slow, but his hands were clenched tightly.
after following him for a few steps, shi yan couldn’t help lowering her head and chuckling in the dark night.
she let him hold her right hand.
This road was really dark, and there was no one around. It was quiet.
It was precisely this kind of atmosphere that easily bred some special feelings and atmosphere.
just as shi yan felt her heart beat faster, the person beside her said,”miss shi, is this the first time you’ve taken this path?”
” yes, i usually only see it from afar when i pass by. this road is less crowded even during the day. ” because it was remote.
“In the future, Ms. Shi, don’t walk on such a small path alone at night. It’s dangerous even if you’re in school.”
“I don’t usually go out at night, and even if I do, I won’t be alone.”
“that’s good.” he said.
his grip on her hand seemed to tighten.
“Mr. Jiang, how are my orchids?”
“Very good, but I’ll only take care of it for a while. After a few days, miss Shi will have to raise it herself.”
“you’re raising it?” Shi Yan was slightly startled. She looked up at him, but the light was too dim, so she could only barely see the outline of his face.
“a plain lotus cauldron is too precious. it’s not suitable to keep it in the dormitory.”
even if no one in their dormitory moved, there was no guarantee that there would be people who would come to visit.
she might not have the eyesight to recognize the white crowned lotus cauldron and then covet it to take it away. she was afraid that others would not know its value and touch it randomly, and then it would be spoiled.
one of the main reasons why the uncrowned lotus cauldron was so valuable was that it was difficult to keep.
This was the confession orchid that Jiang che had given her. Even if there was only a tiny possibility, she did not want it to be spoiled in her hands.
“I’m not raising them in the dormitory.”
“?”shi yan was puzzled.
“miss shi, i’ve decided on a place to stay near haicheng university,” he said.
shi yan stopped in her tracks.
so fast?
Although he had said that he would be able to confirm it in about two days, this was a little too fast.
She didn’t say anything. She pursed her lips in the dark and followed him again.
” i didn’t go to see it personally after i confirmed it. i only saw the photos collected by jiang lin. ”
“it’s not easy to find an apartment near haicheng university, and it’s even more difficult to find a villa with a courtyard. so, ms. shi might not like the decoration style of this residence that we’ve decided on, and it’ll take some time to renovate it.”
Shi Yan wanted to say that she didn’t have any requirements for the decoration style.
She had never had any requirements for where she would live.
However, it was not appropriate to say this in this situation.
the renovation will be completed in a month at most, but the newly renovated house is not suitable for immediate moving in. I think it will take a few months before I can move in.
shi yan still didn’t say anything, waiting for him to speak.
“it’s not suitable for living in, but it doesn’t affect the planting of grass and flowers. after the renovations are done, i’ll bring the orchid over. miss shi, you can go and take a look when you’re free.”
it’s not far. It’s only a ten-minute walk from the school gate. There’s a bicycle-sharing service in school, so it won’t take much time for you to go back, miss Shi.
Jiang che had originally planned to move in directly without renovating the place. However, when he thought of how Shi Yan would be staying at Haicheng University for a few years, which meant that they might have to live there for the next few years, he felt that it was a good idea.
This was equivalent to their temporary home.
Since he was going to stay in this house for a long time, he naturally had to decorate it as he wished.
He would have to wait for a few more months.
besides, she had to go back to the jiang family’s house this weekend.
as for the rest of the time, if he wanted to see her, he could just drive over to her.
” since we’re going to renovate the place, the flowers and plants in the yard must be replanted as well. ms. shi, when you go to look after the orchids, you can also take care of the flowers and plants in the yard. ”
He was in charge of the renovation while she was in charge of taking care of the plants in the yard.
They had all participated in the renovation of the new residence.
Of course, he wouldn’t let her be in charge of all the flowers and plants. At most, he would let her participate in watering them when she was free.
how could shi yan not understand what he meant?
the place where the two of them participated in the renovation of yingying’s residence?
as she thought of this, a faint sense of anticipation grew in her heart.
There was no doubt that she went with the flow and could live well wherever she went. however, sometimes, the reason why people were at ease with the situation was probably because they had no place to settle down.
Just like a floating duckweed, it could survive no matter where it drifted to.
however, it had no roots.
Before she met him, she might not have had the intention to settle down. After meeting him, many things seemed to have changed slowly and imperceptibly.
The hand he was holding moved slightly and she held his hand tightly.
when Mr. Jiang is busy, I can also help to look after the renovation, ” she said. this way, Mr. Jiang doesn’t have to keep going back and forth.
He didn’t say it clearly, but everything was clear.
He suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Shi Yan also stopped.
It was clearly very dark, but when she looked up in the dark, her eyes still collided with his.
he held her hand tightly and his thumb seemed to gently rub the back of her hand. then he spoke softly, his voice warm.
“Miss Shi, what month is your birthday?” he asked.
he didn’t investigate her and didn’t allow the people around him to investigate her, so jiang che didn’t know anything about this.
“qiyue,” shi yan’s heart skipped a beat.
“July.” His thumb seemed to be caressing the back of her hand again.
Shi Yan’s heart trembled.
she slowly suppressed her emotions and asked him, ” “where is teacher jiang? what month is your birthday?”
his tone was calm.
at least, it sounded calm.
“wuyue.”
” then, teacher jiang, you’ll just be a few months older than me. ”
This change of topic was too obvious.
“miss shi, i’m six years and two months older than you.” there was a hint of helplessness in his tone.
“alright,” shi yan said with a smile.
he was only six years old.
“Mr. Jiang.” She suddenly looked at him and called out.
they couldn’t see each other’s faces clearly in the darkness, but their eyes could accurately meet.
he clearly didn’t know what she was going to say, but at this moment, jiang che’s heart suddenly jumped, as if he was a little nervous.
“When I left home that year, it was my fourth grandmother who took me away.” fourth grandma didn’t actually marry fourth grandpa. fourth grandpa’s health wasn’t good and he died of illness in his twenties. fourth grandma was only his fiancée, but she never married after fourth grandpa left.”
I didn’t bring anything with me when I left home. I’ve also asked fourth grandmother to help me move out of the house and share the household register with her.
” when i was 13, fourth grandmother passed away from an illness. from then on, i have an independent household register. ”
“oh, that’s not entirely true. fourth grandmother also adopted a child, and the child’s name is still in the household register. after fourth grandmother passed away, the child is equivalent to my guardian. but i’ve been reading a lot of books all these years, so i’ve been holding onto the household register.”
Her words contained a lot of information.
but jiang che only noticed one thing.
she had been holding onto the household register all along.
this was probably the main message she wanted to pass on to him.
In the dark environment where they couldn’t even see each other’s faces, there was no one around. It was so quiet that they could only hear each other’s breathing and heartbeats. He had just asked her what month her birthday was. She was undoubtedly challenging him by telling him such information.
He had already restrained himself.
he was trying very hard to restrain himself.
he held her hand tightly and took half a step forward, getting closer to her.
he looked down at her emotionlessly, ” “Miss Shi, do you know what you’re saying?”
