Chapter 21
The next day
Ji family
When Ji Beichuan came back from the outside, there was movement in the hall not far away, and the lights in the dining were on, so one didn't have to think to know that Ji Yuansheng must have come back.
Sister Li greeted him and said, "Sir is back and is having his meal, so hurry up."
Different from other nanny, Sister Li has brought Ji Beichuan since childhood, and the two have a deep relationship, so Ji Beichuan also listens to Sister Li very much.
Walking from the door to the dining, Ihesaw Ji Yuansheng sitting in the main seat. The man who was nearly his 40s exuded a mature and majestic air. His face was upright and handsome and when he was eating with his eyes downcast, maybe it was Ji Bechuan’s psychological effect, but for a moment, he actually resembled Shen Cheng.
Ji Beichuan gritted his teeth secretly and said respectfully, "Father."
Ji Yuansheng: "Come and eat."
"Yes."
He stepped forward, and a nanny came up to pull a chair for him. Ji Beichuan sat down. There were a lot of dishes on the table, but he didn't eat much, just eating the ones close to him.
As he was burying his head, a piece of meat was placed on the plate next to him. Ji Beichuan raised his head in surprise and met Ji Yuansheng's dark eyes, he heard the man say to him, "I didn't go to your parent-teacher meeting at the meeting that day, so you’re not happy? "
Ji Beichuan was stunned, and quickly said, "No, no!"
"Is that so?"
Ji Yuansheng's eyes fell on the child. He just watched quietly, but Ji Beichuan's forehead was sweating: "I know you are busy with work."
Ji Yuansheng retracted his gaze: "Are you still adapting to school life?"
If other people didn’t know that this was the father and son, those who didn't would think it was a daily work condolences of leaders to their superiors and subordinates.
Ji Beichuan said with some anticipation: "It's quite good. This time I got 97 points in the test and entered the top 50 of the grade, so I have improved a lot."
Ji Yuansheng was not too happy, he just nodded lightly: "Which subject is weak, let the private teacher pay more attention."
The smile on Ji Beichuan's face disappeared, and he could only respond. Before he could savor his mood, he heard his father ask, "Who is the first in the grade?"
Snap!
There was a loud sound when the spoon hit the porcelain, and Ji Beichuan's hand shook uncontrollably.
Ji Yuansheng frowned slightly.
Ji Beichuan hurriedly said: "Well... I don't know, he's not from our class."
The last thing Ji Yuansheng wants to see was his son's cowardly appearance and every time he saw it, he will be a little displeased. No matter what his talent is, it is very important to have the courage to face his own failures or successes and the ambition and self-confidence in his bones can take charge of the overall situation. He did not see the potential in this child.
Ji Yuansheng's thoughts were spinning, but he didn't pursue the matter: "Let's eat."
"Yes."
Ji Beichuan quickly finished his bowl of food and ran to his room with his head down.
After he left, Ji Yuansheng put down his chopsticks.
The housekeeper came over and poured him a cup of tea: "Sir, didn't you ask?"
He was talking about Ji Beichuan entering Ji Yuansheng's bedroom. Although there is no surveillance in the bedroom, but there was at the door. As the head of a conglomerate, there were many people in the mansion, so he has to be on guard, but he didn't expect that he would catch his own child.
Ji Yuansheng was silent for a while, then said, "Sister Li."
Sister Li, who had been looking after Ji Yuansheng, was called from one side: "Yes."
Ji Yuansheng instructed her: "Pay more attention to the young master during this time, I'm busy with work, so I need you to take trouble."
Sister Li knew in her heart that Sir was suspicious of Ji Beichuan. He said she was paying attention, but it was actually monitoring, but she had no choice but to admit: "Okay sir."
…
The next day
The skies were clear, the days of April and May were clear, everything was revived, and the spring tour arrived as scheduled.
After the concerted efforts of the entire class, the average score was 81 points, making it one of the 6 classes on this spring outing. Perhaps the fruit of their hard work was sweeter, all the children in the car were very excited. From the time they got on the car to the destination, a total of four-hours’ drive, there was always chatter in the car.
Liu Heng sat next to Jian Shiwu: "I heard that our class teacher won't come this time."
Jian Shiwu said, "The teacher's daughter has an acute illness and she couldn't come. I heard that Teacher Wang from Class 1 will look after us on her behalf."
Liu Heng chewed gum in his mouth: "I heard that the average score of our class almost caught up with class 1 this time so Teacher Wang was not too happy about it."
Jian Shiwu's head has been hurting a little since the morning, and he didn't want to pay too much attention to it, so he casually said a few words of relief: "No matter what, he won't make things difficult for the students, don't worry."
Liu Heng sighed, "I hope so."
Finally, the car finally arrived at its destination after a long journey. The majestic mountains stretched on endlessly, the clouds lingering on the hills, and the humans looked even more insignificant when they stood in front of the mountains, and their hearts are agitated.
Teacher Wang was always in Class 1, and he came over after arranging his own class, his face all solemn and serious: "One team of boys, one team of girls, follow the other classes, don't fall behind, if you can’t ober, go back."
The students consciously all lined up.
When they first saw the mountain, everyone was excited, but when they started to walk with their legs, they were fine for a while but after walking for 1-2 hours, some had already pulled their hips up.
"So tired."
"I don't want to walk."
"When are we taking a break?"
In order to take care of the physical strength of the students, every 15 minutes, the entire group would rest for five minutes before walking again. It was hard to look forward to the lunch break at noon. A group of people found a place to have a picnic in the mountains as before coming, everyone had a small backpack, which contains snacks.
Originally, everything was fine, but there are always people who wanted to make trouble.
While eating, the girls exclaimed from the woods not far away: "Look, there is a stream over there."
It's not far, and the creek is shallow. Teenage children are very playful and with their sweaty bodies after walking, many of them want to wash and play in the water.
Some people wanted to go, but they are afraid of being punished by the teacher.
As a spoiled young master, Ji Beichuan was the most uncontrollable one. He wiped the sweat from his head in disgust and said, "The teacher said to rest for half an hour after eating, we just need to go and return quickly, I’ll go if you don’t!"
He was the first to take the lead, followed by the deskmate.
The water in the creek was not too cold at noon, so, it was very comfortable to take off the shoes and socks and wash in the water. Ji Beichuan played in the water, and the people watching were envious,
Originally, many people wanted to go, and when someone took the lead, it was easy.
Soon, the people who didn't dare to go to the stream one after another also ran over after confirming that there was indeed no danger, they even had a water fight, and eventually most of the class went.
Liu Heng said, "Let's go too?"
Jian Shiwu shook his head absently: "I want to go buy some water upfront, I'm a little thirsty."
His head has been hurting a little all day today, and he felt that he had forgotten something important, but he couldn't quite remember it.
Liu Heng stood up and said, "The class representative didn't go either."
Jian Shiwu raised his face and looked not far away. Shen Cheng was sitting on a wooden bench in the forest, it was lush and green and teenager was sitting there alone, as if in a world of his own.
Shen Cheng is lonely.
He refused to be approached by others, nor will he take the initiative to approach others.
Liu Heng said, "Let's go, buy water?"
Jian Shiwu nodded and was about to leave, and just as he raised his foot, his headache got bigger, as if his decision was wrong. After a pause, he stopped and looked at Shen Cheng again.
Suddenly, a scream came from the stream not far away
There were students playing with their bare feet in the water, but there was actually glass in the stream. One accidentally plunged into the sole of a foot, bloody and horrible to look at.
Seeing a large piece of red water from a distance, Liu Heng exclaimed: "Damn, so much blood?"
Kong Wenjing ran over from the stream, her face pale with fright: "You guys come and take a look, Xiaoxiao is bleeding a lot, she..."
The girl's frightened voice was shaking: "Will she die?"
Jian Shiwu and Liu Heng were also startled.
Teacher Wang, who is in charge of their class, was with Class 1. It's a little far away, Xiaoxiao is still crying by the stream, and everyone else is scared and stupid, and they can't do anything except yell.
Just when everyone was dumbfounded, Shen Cheng, who was sitting on the bench, stood up. The boy's strides were very large. When he reached the stream, he squatted in front of Xiaoxiao and looked at the little girl crying with pearly tears flowers, frowned and whispered, "Hold on."
Lifting the girl's foot, he stretched out his hand and pulled out the glass shards decisively. The blood dyed his slender and fair hands red. Shen Cheng’s face did not change, he even looked up to the one carrying the medical kit, “Gauze, iodine.”
All the children silently watched Shen Cheng handle the wound with skillful movements, without blinking in the face of the bloody and terrifying wound, a few drops of blood smeared on his face at some point, maybe when he was pulling out the glass shards, the pieces of glass were thrown aside and Shen Cheng's expressionless movements, a little incompatible with the calmness of his age.
No one dared to speak, and they were all terrified.
Jian Shiwu stood in the back, watching Shen Cheng's ruthless and resolute performance, as if he had returned to his previous life. He saw the decisive male protagonist who killed him, the Shen Cheng who could not change his face even in the face of the enemy's bloody knees begging for mercy, not only these students are afraid, even his current self was also afraid.
Not far away, someone shouted, "The teacher is here!"
A word made sent a number of people scattering like birds or beasts, heading to the camp. When Teacher Wang came, there were not many people by the river, only Shen Cheng, who was just about to bandage up Xiaoxiao, and the crying girl were the most conspicuous.
Teacher Wang's anger soared: "Who asked you to go to the river?"
The girl cried even louder.
Teacher Wang was also shocked when he looked at the wound. He was unhappy that the director asked him to take care of two classes by himself, but if something happened, he would be to blame. It's good to have an explanation when the director asks.
Teacher Wang got closer, checked the wound and found that it had been treated urgently, and then said to the girl, "Don't cry, it's no big deal, teacher will come to take you down the mountain in a while."
Not far away, a few students gathered around.
Teacher Wang called the whole class together. He had a serious face and a terrifying aura: "Who took the lead to play in the water?"
"Did you say before coming here that you can't run around?" Teacher Wang became more and more angry. When he came, he saw that Shen Cheng and the little girl were closest, and asked, "Is it you?"
If the person standing here today was the head teacher Huang Jia, she would never ask such a question, but Teacher Wang's thought is very simple, if it really has nothing to do with Shen Cheng, he didn't go into the water, how could he be by the stream? It has nothing to do with him, how could he help bandage the wound, wasn’t he just being a thief.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was right. Teacher Wang asked the girl again, "Was it him?"
Xiaoxiao's tears were not dry yet, the girl was stunned when she saw the aggressive teacher Wang in front of her. She was very scared. She was afraid that it would be known that she had come here because she wanted to play in the water, that if her parents knew, they would beat her.
She looked at the other classmates.
Everyone's expressions were different, they all knew that it was not Shen Cheng, but if they stood up and identified Ji Beichuan, with that young master's temper, could they have a better time in future? It would be fine if they remained silent, and they were the only ones who were silent anyway.
Teacher Wang raised his voice: "Speak up!"
Standing not far away, Jian Shiwu looked at Shen Cheng, the teenager still had unwashed bloodstains on his hands, he stood there quietly, his eyes sweeping across the silent crowd, as if he was filming a TV drama instead, where he might be a hero now and would be praised by everyone, but no, it was less romantic in reality.
Everyone only thinks about themselves.
Everyone bullies the weak and fears the tough, and no one wants to offend the rich and powerful young master.
The reality is cruel, cruel to the point of being icy cold.
The river was very quiet for a moment. This quietness made Jian Shiwu suffocate a little. Suddenly, he finally remembered that something happened at the spring outing in his previous life, but at that time he ran all the way to buy water. When he came back, he only heard that a classmate was injured and went down the mountain, and Shen Cheng also left. Everyone kept silent about this matter, and he didn't ask much.
Later, Shen Cheng became more withdrawn, indifferent, and detached.
Others only say how cold people are, how cold-hearted ah, bystanders are high above, they only see what they want to see, they think what they think, no one wants to take a closer look and see that under the cold and frosty shield lies a heart with a thousand holes.
How disappointed would Shen Cheng have been that day?
The spring breeze blew over the lake, and after a long distance, Jian Shiwu raised his head and met Shen Cheng's eyes, as if through a desolate night, he could see the faintest remnants of starlight, and the teenager narrowed his eyes and looked away again.
Inexplicable
Jian Shiwu felt that he had to do something and save that last bit of starlight left.
