Chapter 23 


Jian Shiwu: "Such a big mouth, doesn't Shen Cheng already know?"

"No, no, just a few of us know."

"Don't worry, it’s hidden from him."

"I guarantee with my head that he doesn't know."

Jian Shiwu saw that everyone was looking positive, and couldn't bear to discourage everyone's enthusiasm: "Okay."

The crowd cheered.

Liu Heng said: "Since everyone wants to participate, it must be a hotel box. My family runs a hotel, so I will arrange the box."

Others also gossip:

"Xiaoxiao and I will be responsible for setting up the room when the time comes."

"So many people have to be entertained, we’ll have to rehearse a feew programmes?"

"That’s an arrangement between me and the art committee to arrange."

"Then let's scrape together money to buy a big cake..."

In the small tent, a group of people formed a group. Just a week ago, they were all afraid of Shen Cheng, and they were strangers. But a week later, everyone sat together to plan for Shen Cheng's birthday.

In the previous life, it was not until a long time later that Jian Shiwu knew that Shen Cheng had never had a birthday, no one remembered it, and no one celebrated it. He had always been alone in his school life, and after entering the society, he was even more intimidating. At first, Jian Shiwu wondered if they would make their own decisions now, Shen Cheng was withdrawn and indifferent by nature, and would not like to interact with people.

But…

Today, the little girl by the river, Shen Cheng, could obviously have left her alone, but he went and helped her. Perhaps, he didn't actually know Shen Cheng. Like everyone else, he only believed what he wanted to see.

Liu Heng beside him asked Jian Shiwu, "Hey, what do you think of this?"

Jian Shiwu recovered from his memory, he paused for a while, and then smiled happily: "Okay."

Some people may regret doing it, but if they don’t do it, they will regret it for the rest of their lives. In this case, it may be the best way to go with the flow.

after an hour

The classmates all went back to sleep. Liu Heng and Jian Shiwu went to the designated washing spot to wash their bodies. He asked, "What are you carrying that the insects won't bite you?"

Jian Shiwu honestly took out a purse: "My mother made this, she said that there are many mosquitoes in the mountains and am a little fat, and I am even more attractive to insects."

Liu Heng was excited: "Do you still have one in your pocket, give it to me!"

Jian Shiwu dodged his outstretched hand and said softly, "This is for Shen Cheng. You and I have a tent at night, and we both use one."

Before departure, Zhen Meili ordered him to share one with Shen Cheng. There were a lot of mosquitoes at night. Because he was held up with the birthday banquet preparations, he didn't have time to send it, and didn't know if Shen Cheng was already asleep.

Liu Heng: "Then why haven't you delivered it yet?"

"..."

Because he didn't know what reason to look for during the day. After thinking about it, if the male protagonist is not provoked in this life, the cannon fodder ending can be survived.

If he took the initiative to give Shen Cheng a purse or something, there would be a lot of people talking during the day, and he was afraid that it would make people suspect that he had something with Shen Cheng.

Now at night, the night is dark and the wind is high, and it is convenient to do act.

Seeing Shen Cheng's tent not far away, Jian Shiwu told Liu Heng: "Wait for me here, I'll deliver it."

Liu Heng waved his hand: "Go quickly."

Shen Cheng's tent was leaning against the rocks, Jian Shiwu walked over with small steps, and he called to the tent, "Shen Cheng, are you there?"

The temperature on the mountain was a little low, and the boy who had just washed up rubbed his hands in a little chill. The tent was pulled open, revealing Shen Cheng's handsome face, his eyes fell on Jian Shiwu, frowning: "What are you doing here."

Jian Shiwu took out the scented sachet from his pocket: "Here."

Shen Cheng raised his eyes: "What?"

Jian Shiwu replied, "Pest repellent, your tent is near the woods, so it's very useful."

The light outside the tent was a little dim, and the small sachet with a palm sized incense bag was a little wrinkled because it had been in his arms. Jian Shiwu stood under the small orange light with his chubby face full of seriousness. He had a pair of bright brown eyes.

Shen Cheng's heart moved slightly: "Give it to me."

He knew that Jian Shiwu liked him, but this was the first time he was leaping and rejoicing about something given by Jian Shiwu. The feeling was strange, but he was not repulsed.

Jian Shiwu nodded: "For you!"

Shen Cheng didn't refuse. He took it and held it in his hand. He was happy in his heart, but forced a calm expression on his face: "You don't need to send it specially next time, it's cold on the mountain."

Standing in front of him, the naive little chubby bluntly said, "It's okay, my mother did it anyway. She said to bring one for you, and I also have one for Liu Heng!"

Shen Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly.

It's a pity that Jian Shiwu didn't notice it. He took out his sachet and showed it to him, while explaining understandingly: "Liu Heng and I just dropped by after washing up. It's not very cold, don't worry."

Just dropped by.

Liu Heng has one too.

.....

There was a moment of silence in the air

The temperature in Shen Cheng's eyes slowly disappeared, and he said, "Really?"

Jian Shiwu simply nodded: "Yes!"

"Then, thank you auntie."

Shen Cheng turned back to the tent, as if he didn't want to take another look at him: "I'm sleeping, I won't see you off."

?

The spring breeze blew, and the little chubby boy was stunned. He scratched his head in confusion, wondering if it was his own delusion, Shen Cheng seemed unhappy.

Is it...

Jian Shiwu looked down at the sachet. Does he prefer this one he was holding?

……………..

The hiking activity ended the next day due to the weather, and all the students went home after returning to school.

Ji family mansion

Ji Beichuan's schoolbag contained the paternity test. He wanted to sneak upstairs, but was stopped by someone who suddenly appeared behind him: "Young master."

Ji Beichuan shivered for a while.

Behind him stood Mrs. Li: "Young master is back, there is chicken soup stewing in the kitchen. Shall I bring you a bowl?"

Ji Beichuan was upset at the moment: "Won't eat, don't bother me!"

Sister Li was silent for a moment, then she said, "Did the young master encounter anything unhappy at school? He seems to be a little troubled recently."

"No."

Ji Beichuan took a deep breath and jumped as if he was being poked in the heart: "It's none of your business!"

After he finished speaking, he didn't have time to look at the nanny's face, and ran upstairs directly.

When he came back, he drew the curtains to block the light. He didn't know why he was so guilty, but he did it subconsciously. He jumped on the bed and got under the quilt. What he took out from his schoolbag was a paternity test document.

Using the dim light, he carefully opened it, and read it in one glance, and finally stopped at the identification opinion at the bottom: [Appraisal, it has been determined that the father being examined is not the biological parent of the subject. 】

Not

He was really not the biological son, Ji Beichuan's eyes widened, and for a moment, his whole body was shaking.

"dong dong dong"

At that exact moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

Ji Beichuan thought it was Mrs. Li again, so he put down the paternity test in dismay, walked over to open the door and scolded: "I said don't bother me, you didn't listen..."

The rest of the words came to an abrupt end, and the dignified man in a suit standing at the door looked down at him condescendingly.

Ji Beichuan stammered: "Fa..father."

Ji Yuansheng looked at him silently, not angry and arrogant: "I didn't hear anything"

"...No." Ji Beichuan completely lost his arrogance: "It's nothing, I'm sorry father."

The room behind him was a little dark, and the curtains were all covered in broad daylight. As the nanny said, the children in junior high school are in the rebellious period. If their father didn't care, no one could control them, indeed, he should really should have a good talk with his kid.

Ji Yuansheng said, "Why did you close the curtains during the day?"

Ji Beichuan obeyed subconsciously, ran over to open the curtains, and the room suddenly became brighter. When he turned around, he saw his father standing beside the bed. In front of him was the paternity test that he had just thrown away.

At that moment, Ji Beichuan's face was completely bloodless.
