Chapter 67

It is clear that today's weather is good, the sun is hot, but the girls just suddenly felt a chill, especially from the boy in front, the chill was even more profound.

Shen Cheng was wearing blue and white school uniform, an upright stance, his temperament gentle and elegant, the eyebrows are clear with a hint of arrogance and he looked very much like an ancient noble son.

The actual fact is that he doesn’t look particularly damaging. But, when the corners of his mouth curled up in that cold smile, the girl's hand holding the gift trembled uncontrollably.

Qiao An looked on with amusement: "Sending us to deliver a love letter, you have a lot of courage."

The little girl said timidly, "I, I heard that you and Jian Shiwu are very good friends."

The moment she mentioned this, it was like a poke in the lung, Shen Cheng's eyes narrowed dangerously slightly, and Qiao An next to her couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Shen Cheng glanced down at the girl's name tag, his voice was a little magnetic, obviously such a voice should be very seductive when reading her name, but the girl had a feeling akin to announcing a death name list: "Fei Yu Ming?"

Girl: "Uh, yes, I'm ......"

Qiao An’s thoughtful tip: "It's still not too late for you to leave."

Although she didn't know why, but a thin layer of sweat had already broken out on her head when she heard these words, and she couldn't care less about any gifts, she turned around and ran, as if there was a flood of beasts chasing behind her.

Qiao An laughed heartily when he saw her like this.

Shen Cheng gave him a cool look, "Very funny?"

"Ahem!"

As a sufferer who had already been rehabilitated by Shen Cheng countless times, Qiao An had learned that it was time to act on a whim and he hastily said, "No, it's not funny."

Qiao An: "What kind of people are these, in the words of our Shiwu, we are at the age of learning, how can we think about all this stuff!"

Shen Cheng said in a light voice: "Qiao An."

"Hmm?"

"Mata's server number five is down starting tomorrow."

"Eh, eh?! What!"

Without looking at him, Shen Cheng turned around and left.

Qiao Ann was stunned for a while, and finally realized the seriousness of the incident. The server of Mata is an all-around auxiliary AR program written by Shen Cheng himself a few years ago. This little assistant is even easier to use than the smart housekeeper.

People who had been using mata for a long time were used to it, and suddenly losing it was simply worse than death!

"Brother Shen, Brother Shen, I was wrong."

"......"

"Ah I was really wrong, oooh..."

"......"

If it wasn't for the fact that there were always classmates watching, Jian Shiwu wouldn't have even realized that he might be popular, after all, he was practicing the piano when the internet was all supporting Wang Jian'an, and when the internet was all supporting him, he was...still practicing the piano.

Some of the students in the class didn't look at him quite right anymore.

He had to avoid people at lunchtime, and when eating in the small equipment room, he had to close the curtains, or else he might get a couple of photos taken by someone’s phone.

Lui Heng held the bowl: "Brother Shi, you are so popular."

Jian Shiwu was also surprised, he sighed, "I didn't expect it either."

"Is this the life of being popular?" Lui Heng’s family is in the entertainment company, so he more or less knows a little bit: "You know that there are so many artists on the hot search every month and every year, there are also people who frantically buy hot searches, but they are not popular. "

Jian Shiwu said, "It's mainly because they lack the good looks, right?"

"......"

Lui Heng was actually speechless.

It is indeed a blessing to be able to get hot by being good-looking, but Jian Shiwu is definitely not hot by virtue of his looks alone. His popularity is simply like God is chasing and feeding him, oh rather, to be precise, it is difficult not to get popular when you have such a group of powerful plug-ins.

Jian Shiwu sat next to Shen Cheng, and gave him the roast pork that Zhen Mei had made.

Shen Cheng said in a faint voice: "You eat it yourself."

"I have some for myself." While saying that, Jian Shiwu grabbed Lui Heng’s braised pork.

??

Lui Heng looked at him with resentment.

As Jian Shiwu finished the last bite of his meal, he received a call from the crew, the director said that he had to go over to the audition for the role, and because the place was private, he might also need Jian Shiwu to provide his ID number, then the director would send him a string of codes, so he could only enter tomorrow by relying on this code.

Shen Cheng was listening next to him and opened his mouth to remind him, "Did you ask for the address?"

Jian Shiwu almost forgot and said to the director, "And where is the address?"

The director noticed that there was someone beside him and said, "There's someone beside you, the address..."

Jian guessed that the director was also trying to protect the actors, afraid that if a fan or some passerby heard the address they might cause some unnecessary trouble.

So he held the phone, a clean face full of seriousness, voice gentle: "It's okay you say, Shen Cheng is not an outsider."

As soon as the words fell, there was silence in all directions.

The director paused before smiling, "That's good, that's good, then I'll report the address to you, you write it down."

Jian Shiwu answered.

When the phone call was finished, he looked up and met Shen Cheng's dark, deep gaze as he leaned back in his chair, looking at him with good grace.

Jian Shiwu was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"Ah..." he slapped his forehead, having some hindsight: "Did I just talk to the director without paying too much attention to the rules?"

Shen Cheng looked at the somewhat flustered appearance of the teenager in front of him and hooked his lips, "No."

Jian Shiwu looked up.

Shen Cheng: "What you just said was very good."

His voice was low and magnetic, and his handsome face had a smile that was both righteous and evil, which inexplicably made people's hearts beat unsteadily when they were gazing at him.

Jian Shiwu suddenly lowered his head, his voice sounding like a spoiled child, "Then, that's fine."

Although the two of them seemed to have done nothing and said nothing about mixing honey with oil, Qiao An and Lui Heng coincidentally turned away their faces…nothing to see here.

......

In mid-December, the No.1 school's final parents' meeting was held near the end of the term.

Ji Yansheng's return from abroad was considered a happy event for the Ji family, and Shen Cheng kept receiving news when he was still at school, informing him that his father had returned.

Qiao An also remembered, "Is your dad's flight today?"

Shen Cheng: "Hmm."

"Finally he's back." Qiao An smiled and said, "How come I can't see the excitement at all."

Shen Cheng continued reading his book and said in a faint voice: “And what's so exciting about it."

Qiao An tsked, embarrassed to remind Shen Cheng that he had read this page of the book for ten minutes. This Shen Cheng is boring, even if he is happy, he will not say it, and if he likes someone to death, he will not say it, sooner or later he will be in the crematorium without saying a word.

...



The head of the Ji family is back, a banquet to invite guests to connect is inevitable, As soon as Ji Yuansheng came back, he was called by the old lady to discuss matters.

The old lady said, "How long will you stay this time?"

Ji Yansheng had the child in his mind, "I'm going to stay for another ten days and a half, I want to spend more time with you and the child."

The old lady looked at his face, which had lost some weight, and was worried: "You've been away all these years, why have you lost so much weight?

Ji Yuansheng had dark circles under his eyes and his face didn’t look too good.

Linda, the secretary next to him, wanted to say that it was still not because Mr.Ji wanted to rush back early to be with the young master. Before catching up on his trip, and hadn’t slept much for several days, but she didn’t dare.

Ji Yuansheng only said, "I am not tired, mother is worrying too much."

The old lady tried to say, "You have no one around you all these years, and I know what you are thinking in your heart, but it has been more than ten years, people can't come back to life, those who are alive should always live well, Shen Cheng the boy also needs motherly love, isn't it better to have a mother around to take care of him, these days he often accompanies me, I can see that he still wants to have the care and company of his family's care and company."

Ji Yuansheng frowned, unwilling to talk, "I have this matter in my heart, you don't have to say it again."

The old lady was furious: "Even if you don't think of yourself, don't you think of the child?"

"I will go and talk to Shen Cheng about this." Ji Yuansheng frowned, "Mother just leave it alone."

Outside the manor, the butler stood cautiously beside Shen Cheng, Shen Cheng stood outside the door, how long they chatted, was how long Shen Cheng stood. The butler secretly glanced at Shen Cheng's face, but found that there was no emotion on the face, but he just stood there coldly, which made people dare not let the air out.

After awhile, Shen Cheng turned to leave.

The butler unconsciously said, "Young master, where are you going?"

Shen Cheng did not even turn his head back: "Back to my room."

The housekeeper did not dare to stop him, he hesitated two steps to chase after him, and in the bin at the corner he saw a jade box, this is a well-known luxury jewelry shop, this shop’s jewelry is often worth millions, very expensive. This time the old lady took care of Shen Cheng quite well, so this should be a thank you gift.

The housekeeper suddenly remembered something Jian Shiwu had once casually said, "Shen Cheng is very clever, although he is not good with words, but in his heart he knows exactly what to do, he will return the good done to him twice but will also return the bad."

This box should have been put in the pocket just now, but it has never been taken out. The delicate gift was now abandoned like a piece of cake, and in the sun, the jade box looked extremely dazzling. .

......

The following day

The family banquet invited a group of guests, the head of the family had returned, and all the city’s dignified gentry came.

The road outside the old mansion was crowded for a long time, countless luxury cars drove by, and the manor was swarming with people and guests.

The Jian family was among the invited.

When he arrived at the gate, he saw Ji Yuansheng and Shen Cheng from afar. Today's Shen Cheng was different from the one Jian Shiwu had seen before, he was dressed formally, his slim suit fitting his tall legs and strong thin waist, his clear face with a polite smile, elegantly talking to the guests. Even though he was still young, today he already had the shadow of the business overlord of his previous life.

Suddenly, as if noticing his gaze, Shen Cheng glanced sideways at them.

Zhen Meili walked over with her child and smiled at Ji Yuan Sheng, "Mr Ji, it has been a long time, how are you?"

Ji Yuansheng was polite: "All good, thanks to you and Shiwu's care of Shen Cheng during my absence."

Zhen Meili hooked her lips, "I should, after all, I treat Shen Cheng like my own son, and I also have to thank Ji for taking care of our family business."

"A family does not speak like there are two families."

Ji Yuansheng glanced at Jian Shiwu and shook his hand, "If you thanked me, you would be polite."

Zhen MeiLi shook Ji Yuan Sheng's hand, her beautiful face curled up into a smile as she said meaningfully, "Love lasts forever."

Jian Shiwu glanced at Shen Cheng in confusion, always feeling that he couldn't understand the adults chatting anymore.

A maid who was supposed to guide the way came by.

Shen Cheng looked down and gave the maid a few instructions, the maid nodded and then came over to lead Zhen Mei and Jian Shiwu in.

As he passed Ji Yuan Sheng, the man smiled and patted Jian Shiwu on the shoulder and said, "Have fun, treat this like your own home, don't be polite."

"...Thank you uncle."

Jian Shiwu had thought that he could let loose and eat a lot at this party, but what he hadn't expected was to be greeted by the general crowd that surrounded him, and also there were kowtowers on all sides. Although these people were all polished and elegant, they still had the essence of human beings which is to gossip.

"You're Jian Shiwu, aren't you?"

"Aigoo, even better looking than the photo!”

"Which teacher is your family's piano teacher, you play so well."

"Can we take a photo together?"

For some reason, he used to be a little transparent on occasions like this, but now he couldn't even avoid them, he could only accompany Zhen Meili to deal with these guests constantly, from the beginning to the end, not to mention eating and drinking, he couldn't even have a sip of water, many times just as he arrived at the buffet, people came around asking questions about this and that, it was unbearable.

He could only go to the bathroom as a break, but he never expected that the person he would meet at the bathroom exit would be Wang Jianan.

"You ......"

The two stared at each other, neither expecting to meet.

Wang Jianan looked a little darker than in the photo, but his features were still recognizable, and Jian Shiwu nodded at him, "Hello."

Wang Jianan's gaze wandered around him and he hummed lightly, "What, are you here to show off for me?"

Jian Shiwu: "...I was just going to the toilet."

Wang Jianan choked for a moment. But it was hard for him to believe such a coincidence: "Really?"

Jian Shiwu felt very funny: "Why would I lie to you? I didn't even know you were at this party, and we didn't even know each other before."

In Jian Shiwu's heart, it is a normal explanation, but in Wang Jian'an's ears, it is an insult. He is a child star since childhood. It is a great ridicule for stars not to be known. Everyone would take the initiative to talk to him, but tonight more people were talking about Jian Shiwu, and people's focus changed from him.

The difference was felt from the moment he entered the arena, and the aggression and anger he was holding in his heart had nowhere to go, so when he saw Jian Shiwu in person, of course, his words were a little harsh.

Wang Jian'an was furious: "You, you don't have anything else to say to me?"

Jane Shiwu shrugged, but he had been asked for photos tonight and was getting out of habit, and after a brief moment of thought, hesitantly said, "You, you want a photo too?"

"......"

Wang Jian'an face darkened.

However, Jian Shiwu saw that he was suddenly silent, but he had no time to wait for him. He was dragged and busy all night. He was so hungry that his chest was on his back. The most deadly thing was the buffet area downstairs, as long as he went down, there would always be people watching. He felt that it was time to find a small kitchen to sneak in and eat.

"I'll leave you to it if you're okay."

Jian Shiwu turned and walked a few steps away, only to be greeted by a valet who stopped beside him, lowered his voice, and said with a smile, "Mr. Jian? Please come with me."

Jian looked at him in confusion. The valet whispered, "The young master sent me."

Jian Shiwu was immediately relieved as he followed the valet downstairs, the roads of the Ji family's old mansion were winding and winding, the valet actually led him to avoid the crowds and came to a small, isolated garden, where there was a dazzling array of food, he said respectfully, "You can feel free to dine here.”

Jian Shiwu looked incredulously at what was in front of him and was surprised, "How did you know I was hungry..."

The valet replied honestly, "The young master ordered it, and I will be near you all the time tonight, so if you need anything, you can ask me."

!!!

Jian Shiwu's eyes widened.

He was shocked by Shen Cheng's meticulousness, why was this man so detailed?
