as the car sped on the highway, jiang duanyan saw from the corner of his eye that the person beside him had already fallen asleep. he raised his hand to adjust the temperature of the air conditioner in the car. when the wind blew, it blew a strand of her hair ...
his thoughts seemed to have returned to more than ten years ago.
it was already the late 1990s when the two of them met.
at that time, the country was open and rich, and the lost land during the war was recovered one after another. it happened to be the millennium, and the family living next to the chi family had made a lot of money by going to the sea to mine gold. the whole family moved to the province, and the house was put up for sale. a week later, it was bought.
after a few months of renovation, there was no one moving in.
that was until that summer ...
back then, there weren’t as many entertainment facilities as there were now. during her summer break, chi sunian would follow her brother around all day. during that period, she happened to be learning how to ride a bicycle and fell until her leg was bruised. she finally looked a little better.
“brother yueyue, look.” she had just learned how to ride a bike. after riding for a short distance, she turned her head excitedly to greet chi junze.
chi jun was standing under the tree and eating a popsicle. he responded in a muffled voice and did not take it to heart.
chi sunian was too busy showing off and did not control the direction of the car. the car crashed into the curb, but it was too late for her to adjust the front of the car. the wheels of the car scraped against the curb with a ‘bang’.
he fell to the ground with his car.
it was so painful that she took a deep breath and fell so hard that she couldn’t stand up for a while.
chi jun did not help her up when she saw that her sister had fallen. instead, she burst out laughing. ” haha, chi sunian, i told you that your legs are too short and you’re not suitable for driving. i told you to wait two years before you learn how to drive, but you didn’t listen ... ”
chi sunian gritted her teeth in anger. the skin on her knee had been scraped, but she had already propped herself up on the ground.
it was also at this moment that she felt someone coming from behind her. the person’s figure enveloped her. before she could turn her head, the person had already walked in front of her and helped her up the car.
he was a head taller than chi sunian. he carried a black school bag in his single room and wore a white short-sleeved shirt and light-colored jeans. his face was expressionless, but his eyes were clear. perhaps it was because he had just come out of the cool room. when the summer wind blew, chi sunian felt ...
the whole world seemed to be cold.
the summer cicadas were chirping, but she seemed to hear nothing. only her heart was beating, one beat after another, deafening her ears.
it was so fast that she almost suffocated.
his face seemed to be on fire, and steam was rising from it.
“i’ll push the car to the side for you.” as he spoke, he had already parked the car on the other side.
“t-thank you.” chi sunian did not dare to stare at him. instead, she reached out and dusted off her clothes, wondering whose house it belonged to.
she had lived here since she was a child, and she could even recognize the people living around her. this person was a new face.
chi jun was still smiling at first, but when he saw a certain someone he did not know, he quickly ran over. ” thank you. ”
“i’m fine.”
chi jun was also sizing him up. the boy of that age met someone who had a similar aura. he did not say anything but was already comparing himself to the person in his heart.
“duanyan!” a woman’s voice came from behind.
when chi sunian turned around, she saw a gentle-looking woman trotting out of a door with a blue cup in her hand. ” you didn’t bring your water. ”
“yes.” jiang duanyan took the water. ” i’ll be leaving then. ”
“be careful. i’ll get your dad to pick you up tonight.”
he nodded, turned around, and walked out of the community.
the woman smiled and glanced at the chi siblings. her gaze fell on chi sunian’s knees and then at the car with the paint scraped off. she understood what was going on. ” driving lessons? ”
“yes.” chi sunian nodded.
“you guys live nearby, right? we just moved here, so we’re staying here. wait a moment.”
in less than a minute, the woman came out with a few boxes of candy and told them to go home early to treat the wound on chi sunian’s leg. she had originally wanted them to come over for a while and treat chi sunian’s knee at the same time. but considering that they were not familiar with each other, bringing her child home might make her parents think that she had ulterior motives.
“thank you, auntie. we live next door.”
the woman glanced at the house on the side. although it didn’t have any big characters on it, there was a small sign hanging on the door that said ” chi family “. elder chi was very famous in the area, so she immediately understood the identity of the two.
“you’re welcome to come to our house to play when you’re free in the future.”
chi sunian could no longer remember how she got home. she could not remember if her injured leg hurt or not. however, those boxes of toffee were the sweetest food she had ever eaten.
**
the chi family would naturally discuss the new house next door.
he said he was a businessman, but his family had two sons. the eldest son was particularly outstanding. he had just won the provincial leo mathematics competition last year and was guaranteed a place in xincheng no. 1 middle school. that was why the whole family moved here.
when elder chi spoke of this, he stared at chi junze.
“look at other people’s children.”
chi jun did not say anything. he just thought of jiang duanyan’s sour face and really did not like this person.
on the third day after the jiang clan moved in, they specially brought gifts to visit. it was not that they were trying to get close, but that a distant relative was not as good as a close neighbor.
old master chi liked jiang duanyan very much the moment he saw him.
reserved and upright, he was the most typical model of a good student. his grades were good, and although he didn’t talk much, when she spoke to him, she could clearly feel that he was a very independent child, not the kind of child that couldn’t be taught.
especially when compared to his mischievous grandson, the old man admired him more. he invited the family of four to have dinner that night.
that night, chi sunian was unusually quiet. her gaze was almost fixed on the person diagonally opposite her.
although there was no expression on jiang duanyan’s face, he was not an ignorant person. the little girl’s eyes were too eager. others didn’t notice it, but he felt it especially clearly as the person involved.
when he looked up, she lowered her head and ate. it was just that children were not good at hiding their emotions.
therefore, jiang duanyan knew very well from a long time ago ...
the little girl in the next room liked him very much.
at the dining table, they talked about jiang duanyan’s mathematical olympiad award, which made the chi family very envious. ” after our niannian entered middle school, she hasn’t been good at mathematics, physics, and chemistry. it’s so worrying. ”
when she started learning physics and chemistry in junior high, chi sunian found it very difficult to learn. she even thought of choosing liberal arts when she entered senior high.
” our duanyan is especially good in this aspect. if he’s free, you can ask him to tutor niannian. ”
after mrs. jiang finished speaking, jiang duanyan tightened his grip on the chopsticks. chi sunian, on the other hand, suddenly blushed.
tutoring?
then we can be alone?
when a young girl was in love, especially when she already had someone she liked in her mind, she would always fantasize about many scenes of her time with him. now that her beautiful dreams were about to come true, her entire heart was beating abnormally.
” i don’t think it’s convenient. i see that he has to go to cram school every day. he’s quite busy. ” chi anbang laughed.
“he’s not busy,” mrs. jiang said with a smile.
jiang duanyan didn’t take this matter to heart at the time. this was because whenever someone said that his grades were good or that his child’s mathematics, physics, and chemistry were bad, his mother would always say this. it was just a courtesy, and no one really asked him to help make up for the lessons.
however, he did not expect that when he came back from tuition class the next day, the girl next door would be sitting in his living room, wearing a floral dress and a ponytail.
” you’re back, duanyan. remember to tutor niannian after dinner. ”
jiang duanyan narrowed his eyes and didn’t say anything.
at that time, the jiang family’s second young master was just a little kid. he was sitting on the side, nibbling on a peach, and he felt very sympathetic to the young lady next door.
this was because his brother often gave him tuition and would ” personally attack ” him every time. he hoped that this young lady would not cry from the scolding.
chi sunian had dinner at the jiang family’s house that day, then followed jiang duanyan to a room. he usually did his homework in his bedroom, but he knew very well that there were differences between men and women. moreover, that was his personal space, so he naturally would not let her in. he went to the study room at home.
“bring me your textbook.”
chi sunian hurriedly took out a book from her bag and handed it to him.
these textbooks were not the same version as the ones jiang duanyan had studied before, but the contents were almost the same.
while he was flipping through the textbook, chi sunian coughed. ” that ... ”
he raised his head to look at her. ” what’s the matter? ”
chi sunian was nervous. she stammered and did not say a word for a long time. jiang duanyan put down his book and stared at her.
“thank you for helping me last time.”
“last time?”
“it was the time i fell.”
” yes ... ” jiang duanyan nodded. after a few seconds, he said, ” i didn’t mean to help you, but you fell in front of my house and i had to go to class. you ... ”
“i’m blocking the way.”
chi sunian’s face was still red just a second ago, but it turned pale in an instant.
jiang er was ordered by his mother to send them peeled apples. however, when he saw the sister next door looking like she was about to cry, he looked at his eldest brother.
even the girls were scolding him for being such a jerk.
the supplementary lessons were a first for chi su, and they continued until her high school graduation ...
