Chapter 52

Jian Shiwu didn't realize the seriousness of the situation at all, and he had a rare good night's sleep till the next day.

He slept in the guest room and Qiao An also slept in the guest room, the two of them were only separated by a wall, and because they had to play a little late last night to brush up on their intimacy, this time both of them slept until the sun was high up..

When the housekeeper came to bring breakfast to Shen Cheng, he saw Shen Cheng sitting on the bed, looking at his mobile phone. Today's young man was slightly different from his usual self, Shen Cheng's face was sullen, looking at the page of his mobile phone without blinking, even if he didn't say a word, one could feel the anger he was suppressing. A very rare thing, this young master is usually very calm, almost never even shows even a happy expression on his face, there was only one person who can make him lose his temper like this.

"Young master." The butler stood at the door and spoke cautiously, "Breakfast is ready."

Shen Cheng put down his phone and asked, seemingly unintentionally, "Where is Auntie Zhen?"

The housekeeper immediately replied, "Ms. Zhen went to rest in the morning after your fever had subsided, and is now in the guest room, so you don't have to worry."

"Hmm."

As Shen Cheng watched the servants place the breakfast on the table in an orderly manner, he finally asked what he wanted all along, "What about Jian Shiwu?"

The housekeeper had been prepared for this, and knew he would ask: "Young Master Jane and Young Master Qiao An played games until three in the morning yesterday, and they are still sleeping."

"Three o'clock." Shen Cheng’s face was unreadable, but it was inexplicably cold, and he sneered, "Looks like they had a good time."

The butler didn't dare to take up the argument, "Young Master Jian is also at a playful age nowadays, and should have been more than a little excited when he came across the game."

As soon as he came into contact with something related to the boy, Shen Cheng would become different from his usual self, and the butler was a wise man; he didn't need to get too involved in his master's affairs, but he had to think about what he wanted and find the right spot to smooth things out.

And sure enough

Shen Cheng's face looked better, but it wouldn't be him if he really stopped there, and lifting his eyes, he asked in a slow voice: "Qiao An didn't go to school today?"

The butler immediately said, "He seems to have taken a leave of absence, saying he was unwell."

This nonsense could be believed.

Shen Cheng’s sneered, and said slowly, "Then have Ms. Zhang to stew him a pot of soybean and pig's foot soup."

Everything else was fine, only, this was definitely the dish Qiao An hated the most.

Shen Cheng lifted his eyes and looked at the housekeeper, his voice was gentle but his eyes were all deep: "Watch him eat, not a drop should be left over."

The butler was respectful: "Yes."

The young master Qiao An is really pitiful, he did nothing to provoke Jian Shi Wu and playing games is also not bad, but only that he found the wrong person to play games with. This matter is very serious.

Afternoon

Jian Shiwu was awakened by a ringing phone.

"Jian, are you really my brother." Lui Heng’ voice came from the other end, "When I heard them say you were hooking up with a transfer student, I thought you were finally getting it on with Shen Cheng, who knew it was actually with Qiao An. Tell me, how many other surprises do you have that I don't know about?"

Jian Shiwu was baffled: "What ah?"

He knew all these words, but when they were put together in a sentence, he didn’t understand.

Lui Heng briefly explained to him about the racing game, and finally added: "Now no one in the class doesn't know, even some of the girls who have a crush on you are already crying in the playground."

The corner of Jian’s mouth twitched, "Just doing a task and already rumors are flying."

Lui Heng shrugged, "Then you come back and explain yourself.”

The phone was hung up, and it was only then that Jian Shiwu slowly woke up, he hit the class group and saw a group of people making a fool of themselves.

"A hundred years of good luck."

"Other than that, the bride price is so high that it's on the public frequency."

"I'm jealous, I'm jealous."

"Qiao An is a rich man."

Most people knew that the three transfer students have good family backgrounds, not to mention the wealth of the Ji family, they heard that Annie's family is part of the the nobility of the M country, Qiao An’s family is much more complicated, few people can inquire clearly, only they heard that it was very dangerous. Before, he was actually kidnapped a number of times from school in M country, that showed he probably has a hidden unspeakable background, a forbidden area that made everyone subconsciously shut up.

Lui Heng had previously given Jian a sneak mention of something, probably saying that the reason Qiao An had come to China was a kind of protection for him from his family.

Regardless, QiaoAn was also a young master who didn’t lack money.

Jian Shiwu had no concept of gold in the game, he was only worried about one question right now, "Everyone is misunderstanding, then, Shen Cheng won't misunderstand him,right?"

"Knock knock knock."

There was a knock on the door from outside.

Zhen Meilie’s voice came through the door, “It’s already noon, come out for dinner!"

Jian Shiwu hurriedly put down his phone and got up to wash up: "Okay."

Shen Cheng’s fever had gone down because of last night's care, so he should be going home with Zhen Meilie after washing up, but he had to go say goodbye to Shen Cheng before he left.

When he knocked on the door and went in, he saw Shen Cheng, who was sitting inside the room.

Jian’s voice was crisp and clear: "Good morning, Shen Cheng."

He was half leaning on a lounger by the window, wearing a white shirt of ordinary style but with a texture that was worth a lot of money, holding a book in his hand, his posture elegant, the sunlight falling, the angular side of his face in shadow, handsome.

Hearing the voice, Shen Cheng looked at him sideways for awhile, "It’s not morning."

Jian Shiwu choked up, it was the middle of the afternoon,he cheerfully replied: "Look at my memory, I forgot."

Before he came, he was still a little worried about whether Shen Cheng knew what was going on in the class group, whether he’d misunderstand him and what kind of emotions he’d be feeling, but after after seeing Shen Cheng, who was looking no different from his usual self, he felt that he was worrying too much.

However, one second before he was able about to let out a sigh of relief, the next he heard Shen Cheng’s faint voice: "It’s normal that you would’ve forgotten, after all..."

The boy slowly flipped through a page of his book, his voice cool: "You are tired after playing games, do you still have the heart to think about anything else?"

!!!

Jian Shiwu’s eyes widened, he couldn't hold back his cough, his big eyes looked innocently at Shen Cheng, subconsciously explaining, "Did you also see the group chat?"

Shen Cheng was silent.

Jian Shiwu had only wanted to clarify the truth, but for some reason it came out like a cheating wife was pleading her case: "It was all a misunderstanding, because Qiao An said he was 10th in the rankings and could take me along for points, and then that baby was a bonus, so that's why we planned to married for the mission, we didn't have anything else. "

Shen Cheng’s faint voice: "Is that so?"

Jian Shiwu nodded obediently.

"Hmm." Shen Cheng looked like he didn’t care, in a faint voice: "Did you get the baby then?"

Jane Shiwu shook his head, "I was too sleepy yesterday, the intimacy wasn't brushed up yet, he said to keep playing today, but I'm going home soon, but I might go back and talk about it."

He didn't know if it was an illusion on his part, but after spilling his own progress, Shen Cheng’s aura that had been somewhat oppressive towards him was much easier, even his eyebrows were much gentler, as he said, "Be careful on the way."

As Jian Shiwu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then Shen Cheng added slowly, "Yesterday Auntie Zhen mentioned your studies, I recommended a few exercise books to her for you, after all, there’s only one year left before the college entrance exams, in order to get into the ideal school, I think you’ll have to go back and work hard, right."

?

Jian Shiwu stared incredulously, "I..."

Shen Cheng’s mouth curled into a kind smile, "No thanks."

"......"

Damn you, why.

With a grieving heart Jian Shiwu returned home, he thought Shen Cheng just wanted to scare him, but Zhen Meilie really got a few exercise books, and also bitterly said, "Look how good Xiao Shen is to you, he is so sick himself and still doesn’t forget to remember your studies, you have to get along well with others in your studies, you know?"

Jian Shiwu endured the humiliation: "Mm..."

That was not all, Zhen Mei Li took care of Shen Cheng a night, and didn’t know how in the end Shen Cheng enlisted in the army. So she asked Jian Shiwu to do a good job talking class notes, and after school, go to Shen Cheng to make up for missing the lecture. She was afraid that Shen Cheng would fall behind progress.

Jian Shiwu really wanted to tell his mother that Shen Cheng had already completed all the subjects in the second year of high school by himself, so what progress could he have left behind?

Zhen Meili: "He just came back from abroad, he is not familiar with people, and the textbooks in country M are not the same as those in our country. You also know Shen Cheng's temperament, he’ll endure everything alone. So more help should be given.”

Jian was convinced.

If you think about it, he subconsciously thought that Shen Cheng was very strong, but if you look at it from a realistic point of view, it's not easy for Shen Cheng. Athough there's a Qiao An around, but Qiao An's studies are even worse than his own, and he’s not bad unless he leads Shen Cheng astray. But no matter what, he's a friend, and there's affection and if he can do what he can, it doesn’t hurt to help out.

On the other hand

The Ji family's old house

After changing Shen Cheng's medicine, the doctor said, "Young master, it's good for your eyes to rest properly, you've been playing for a day, your body won't be able to bear it if you go on like this."

Sometimes even doctors who have lived this long would be shocked by Shen Cheng's amazing perseverance, the drugs used to heal wounds all have some degree of sleeping effect, and with the injuries themselves, most people would be sleepy. And if one added the pain of the wounds, most people would choose to sleep to get through it, but Shen Cheng was different, it was as if he didn't know about fatigue and pain, he started playing the game at noon, and has hardly stopped until now.

Shen Cheng finally put down the game board after seeing the words victory displayed on the page, "Don’t worry about me."

The boy's slender hand pressed the mouse and when he saw the latest refreshed data on the leaderboard. Player Id: Hunting goose ranking in the top nine, the corners of his mouth finally hooked up a smile.

At the same time, the first floor erupted with a scream that belonged to Qiao An: "This guy, where did he come from, I've been playing for a month to get on the list, how come he squeezed me down in a day!"

The screams of misery continued, hurt by the pig's foot soup in the morning and stimulated by the ranking in the evening, Qiaoan's whole being was in self-doubt.

"Knock, knock, knock."

There was a knock on the door from outside.

The butler said, "Young Master Jian is here."

Jian Shiwu, who had come to tutor Shen Cheng, came carrying his small schoolbag. And after he had briefly tutored and reviewed the day’s progress and knowledge points, he keenly discovered that Shen Cheng’s computer also seemed to be hooked up to the game, and the boy felt surprised: "Shen Cheng, do you also play this game?"

Shen Cheng looked sideways for a moment and nodded lightly, "Well, just playing."

Jian didn't think much of it, he certainly wasn't going to be so narcissistic to think that Shen Cheng was playing it because of him, he just said, "Then let's play it together sometime, Qiao An is pretty good, he can take us."

Shen Cheng sat down by the sofa, "Yeah?"

"Yeah." Jian Shiwu happened to be very close to the computer and rushed up with interest, "Let's see how many levels you are, maybe I can also carry you..."

The words that wanted to come out came to an abrupt stop. The words on the leaderboard lit up in his eyes, the blather in the mouth got stuck in the throat.

Jian Shiwu scolded, "You're so good."

Shen Cheng’s slender hands flipped the pages of the book, his handsome face looked warm in the light, he pretended to be careless: "More powerful than Qiao An?"

Jian Shiwu knew that the protagonist had to be strong, and he couldn't say the wrong thing at this time, but, he slipped up anyway: "I think you're better than him, I remember he's tenth, you're ninth now, hahaha, you're so good, you can run so well without a gain, not like us who still need a baby gain status, you don't need..."

"I need."

Shen Cheng cut him off, the teenager who had been on cloud nine since just then lifted his eyes to look at Jian Shiwu for the first time. Those twilight eyes had a piece of emotion too thick to melt, he looked at the somewhat surprised boy in front of him and repeated once again, "Of course I need the baby."

And you.
