Chapter 45
Jian paused for a while, and with his small head, he really couldn't think of anything Shen Cheng could hide from him, after thinking about it, he showed a frank smile: "That's fine.”
"By the way ......" Jian Shiwu looked around, and said as an afterthought, "What are you doing back here, class rep?"
After all, as far as he knew, Shen Cheng was not a backstage worker, and there was no program he was participating in at the opening ceremony, so why would he come here, it couldn't be that he was here for him, right?
Shen Cheng gazed at Jian Shiwu and said, "The sound for the accompaniment is at ......"
"Shen!"
Someone's voice came from behind, with a bit of surprise and unexpectedness.
Jian turned around and saw a little flowery butterfly like girl swooping up, Annie wore a red dress for the dance today, looking as noble and beautiful as a Disney princess, she walked up to the two of them and smiled: "Are you here to see me?"
Shen Cheng spoke, "No."
Anne shrugged at Jian, as if there was nothing she could do: "He always doesn’t tell the truth."
This somewhat natural and familiar conversation between the two had a strong impact on Jian Shiwu, looking at the pretty girl and the handsome boy standing together, blindingly compatible, and thinking about it, how could he be so narcissistic for a moment that he thought Shen Cheng had come to see him, it was impossible to think about!
He sighed inwardly and by the time he looked up again he had adjusted his mood: "Then you guys can play for a while, I'll go back and take off my makeup, bye!"
Annie took in the series of Jian’s movements and she smiled as she said, "Bye."
Jian Shiwu ran off for a while, then came back and said, "By the way Annie, there's something the boss just asked me to pass on to you, so be prepared for it."
Annie was curious, "What?"
"It's just that the backstage operator said, he doesn't know what happened, but obviously the video of your dance was saved locally, but the machine that was playing the backing track just now had a problem and it seems to have affected the saving of your video from the previous show, so the director said that you might not be in the opening ceremony souvenir video later on. "
?
Annie was shocked: "How!"
It can't be, she only touched that small section when she did it, how could the program have been changed, and even if it had been, how could anyone have the ability?
After thinking about it, seeing that Jian Shiwu had left, Annie turned her head to look at Shen Cheng. The young man standing beside her watched Jian Shiwu leave, and finally set his eyes on her, there was not much appreciation or love in his eyes, but rather coldness.
Annie murmured, " Did you do that?"
Shen Cheng raised an eyebrow noncommittally.
"Why?"
A wounded look crossed Anne's azure eyes, "I didn't do it, do you doubt me?"
Of course she was confident that Shen Cheng wouldn't find out that it was her own handiwork, she had always been very good at the aftermath work and didn’t leave any clues, and since Shen Cheng had been in the class the whole time, he would be even less likely to find out about her.
Shen Cheng said, "You're always staring at him."
??
Question marks seemed to slowly pop up on Annie's head.
"He and you aren’t the same kind of people." Shen Cheng, who never looked at her directly in school, the Shen Cheng who was never flawless, without a weakness leaned down, his voice icy cold: "Stay away from him."
......
Annie felt a chill, so it wasn’t that he had found her out, he was just jealous!
For a moment she had seen in Shen Cheng an almost paranoid possessiveness, even if he hadn’t noticed her small movements, he had noticed those intense lines of sight she frequently cast on Jian Shiwu, so Shen Cheng had warned her in a way that he belonged to him.
She had always been concerned when she was inside the school before, because she couldn't see through Shen Cheng, the young master of the Ji family who was from an uncommon background and had all the glory and wealth. It could be said that Shen Cheng had almost no weaknesses, he was perfectly powerful and seemed to spend time with them all the time, but shd always felt separated by a thick wall, no one could enter his heart.
But now ......
Anne hooked her lips and smiled with self depreciation, thinking to herself somewhat, perhaps it wasn’t always that he didn’t have weaknesses, but that it’ because he had finally met someone he can’t ask for and cared about too.
Even so, she would not give up.
On the contrary, she has to make Shen Cheng see clearly that Jian Shiwu has no meaning for him at all!
......
The next day
The school sports day was in full swing.
Because it was sort of the end of the summer, there was a lot of vegetation around the playground of their school and for some reason, it was extra hot this year. With mosquitoes plus the heat of the weather temperature, many students were suffering.
Jian was dozing off with his head down.
Lui Heng came over and said, "Why do you look like you haven't slept?"
"Hmm?"
Jian Shiwu propped up his little face and said in a daze, "I stayed up late last night catching up on some crafts, here's one for you."
The Zhen family used to practise medicine and were well versed in Chinese medicine, and although Zhen Meili had not chosen to follow in her father’s footsteps and become a physician, she was sure to know a little bit after growing up in such an environment.
The family had a small incense bag that could be worn to relieve the heat and repel mosquitoes, and it might be a little tricky to sew, but the effect was exquisite.
In the past two years Zhen Meili and Jian’s father had been busy with the company business, and Jian Shiwu certainly didn’t want to bother his mother with such trivial matters, so he simply made a few purses himself and handed one to Lui Heng, "Here."
Lui Heng looked at the other one in his arms and smiled, "For Shen Cheng?"
Jian Shiwu pursed his lips, although he was already pretending to be calm, but still couldn’t help the somewhat reddened ears, coyly said, "Just made it along the way."
Lui Heng gave him a look that he didn't need to explain, he understood. As there was Lui Hen’s competition event coming up next, he let Jian take a nap there and left.
As Jian was drifting off against the small table when a voice came from next to her.
"Hi, how are you?"
Jian looked up a little surprised to see Annie in her blue and white school uniform sitting down beside her and she smiled and said, "Haven't had a proper chat for a while, is it convenient to talk?"
He wondered why the heroine had come to see him, he was honest and naive and replied, "I'm a bit sleepy at the moment."
"......"
The corners of Anne's mouth twitched.
But she wouldn’t give up: "How can you sleep with all the noise in here, in fact I just wanted to come and simply have a few words with you."
Jian yawned: "What do you want to say?"
Maybe it's because the education in the M country was too bold and unrestrained, and Annie is also used to being very frank: "You know, I like Shen Cheng."
For a moment, she finally made up for the sadness she felt when she saw a flash of gloom in the eyes of this young man who was always smiling, even if it was fleeting.
Jian Shiwu was silent for a long time, then looked at her and inquired, "So what?"
"Our return to China this time was actually to come as exchange students to experience the life, and as you know, we’re not likely to study in China." Annie smiled, "So this year or so, I would like to ask you for more guidance. Shen is Chinese, there is still a lot of work to be done between me and him, you are sucj good friends, if I don't understand something can I come and ask you?"
No way.
I don't like you.
Jian wanted to say no, but his heart ached again, remembering what those old men had taught him all those years ago, that you can't stop the protagonist and his woman from having a relationship, or else it would be canon fodder behavior, ending with death.
"Okay." Jian leaned on the table, "If you don't understand anything, come and ask me."
Annie smiled. If both of them were cowardly, it would be no wonder that they missed each other. How could it be wrong for her to compete with integrity.
"Thank you Shi Wu." Annie said softly, "I like Shen Cheng very much, you can rest assured that I will treat him well."
Jian Shiwu nodded gently, thinking, "If you dare to treat the male lead badly, then aren’t you looking for death?
It was quite pointless to think about himself, knowing that Shen Cheng didn’t actually like him very much, so maybe it’s time to keep some distance.
Seeing that Annie was about to leave, Jian shouted at her, "Wait a minute."
Annie turned around and saw that Jian had slipped her a small purse: "You can give it to Shen Cheng, this is for the summer heat and it also repels mosquitoes."
Annie was puzzled, "You...are willing to let me give it?"
On Jane's small white face was a relieved smile, he was generous and spontaneous: "Only if the scented bag works and does its job, it doesn't matter what who gives it, all that matters is that he’s okay."
Annie looked at Jian’s fearless and frank gaze and suddenly felt like she had nothing to hide.
It was as if ......
She instantly understood the difference between herself and him. Her kindness to Shen Cheng must be rewarded, while Jane Shiwu was kind without expecting anything in return.
At this moment, holding the incense pouch, she felt as if she had won, but lost again.
Not far away Shen Cheng, who had just finished the race, came down from the front and met Annie, who was waiting for her, standing in the shade, and whispered, "The race is over?"
Shen Cheng ignored her and continued on his way.
"Wait."
Annie came over, the girl's face showing a bit of shyness, she raised her hand, revealing a small scented bag and said, "It's for you, to relieve the summer heat, and to repel mosquitoes."
Shen Cheng did not want it, he indifferently swept a glance and was ready to go, however only that glance stopped his tracks, the teenager's cool face frowned, he took the incense bag and asked, "Where did it come from?"
Annie didn't expect him to know right away that it wasn't her own, hesitated for a moment, the corners of her mouth curled up into a meaningful smile, "Jian Shiwu gave it to me."
She just to indirectly let Shen Cheng understand that Jian Shiwu didn't care about him and wouldn't even give him something.
Sure enough, Shen Cheng's face changed, visible to the naked eye gloomy up, he sank his voice, still with a bit of chill: "Why did he give it to you?"
?
Annie was dumbfounded, "What's the problem?"
Before she could say anything, however, Shen Cheng took off in the direction of his class, and not far away, on a small table, Jian Shiwu was sleeping on his stomach, very uncomfortable by the fact that Annie's words had made him a little aggravated and his little purse was gone.
"Knock, knock."
There was a knock on the table.
Jian Shiwu was disturbed and didn't quite look up, "Ah ...... Shen Cheng?"
Shen Cheng had just finished exercising and was carrying hormones that hadn't yet radiated away, his dark eyes looked straight at Jian Shiwu, holding a lotus bag in his hand, "Is it you who made this?"
Jian Shiwu took a look and nodded obediently, "Yeah."
After thinking about it, he thought it was because he didn't get it right somewhere and asked again, "What's wrong, doesn't it fit?"
Shen Cheng looked at the dark circles under Jian Shiwu's eyes, the irritation in his heart surged up and down, and he inquired in a deep voice, "Why did you give it to Annie?"
What's so great about that woman?
Was she better than him? Just a face?
Looking at the boy whose temper was clearly not good, Jian guessed that it Shen Cheng misunderstood his interest in Annie; after all, if Shen Cheng liked Annie, and he asked Annie to help pass things on, he would indeed be annoyed by him.
But his little purse was also something he had put a lot of effort into making, so if he didn't want it, why did he come to be mean to him.
Jian was so aggrieved that he pressed his red eyes and held up his hand, "I just asked her to pass it on for me, so if you don't want it, give it to me."
What?
Shen Cheng raised his eyebrows.
He had been too angry just now and hadn't asked, so it hadn't been given to Annie by Jian Shiwu, but rather to pass it along.
Thinking this through, Shen Cheng suddenly stopped being angry, and he returned to his lazy, loose appearance, placing the purse on the table and watching it be taken away by Jian Shiwu before speaking, "Give it to me."
Jian Shiwu was a little confused as he held the purse he had snatched back, "Huh?"
Shen Cheng looked at him seriously, "Give it to me."
What?
Jane Shiwu was puzzled, "Didn't you not want it?"
"I don't want what she gave me." Shen Cheng's hand was stretched out in front of his face, as if he was patiently teaching Jian Shiwu, with some solemnity under those eyes, whispering, "I want you to give it to me personally."
