Chapter 4 Fallen leaves return to their roots

Early the next morning, Xuanli packed her luggage and got into the car under the reluctant eyes of Huo Lishen and Qiuxin.

Xuanli, who was forcing a smile one second to comfort the two of them, was sobbing silently the next second.

Jiang Cheng took out a few pieces of paper and stuffed them at her randomly, "Cry just as loud as you want, it's so uncomfortable to hold it in."

She took all the paper at once and wiped it on her face. The paper towel was soaked instantly, but she still didn't make any sound.

He waited quietly for a long time. It wasn't until the pack of newly bought paper was half empty that he heard a nasally voice: "Let's go."

Jiang Cheng started the car and glanced in the rearview mirror. Huo Lishen and the other two were still standing at the door and had not entered.

He suddenly said: "Your adoptive parents love you very much."

Xuanli nodded slightly, "Yeah, so I love them too."

Jiang Cheng sighed with unknown meaning: "It's pretty good."

She raised her eyes to look at him, half of her face hidden in shadow, and her emotions could not be clearly seen.

In the afternoon, the car drove on the expressway connecting Kyoto.

Xuanli put her hands on the car window and looked curiously at the rapidly regressing scenery outside the window.

Jiang Cheng glanced at her sideways, "I said, Kyoto is a prosperous city, different from Jiangnan."

She did not deny it, "Feng shui in Kyoto is better than Jiangnan in raising people, and my illness was also cured in Jiangnan."

Before he came, he heard from Yu Tingxuan that Xuanli was born prematurely and was frail and sick since childhood. When he was three years old, he was sent to the Huo family in Yanyu Town, Jiangnan for foster care.

Her biological parents died in a car accident ten years ago. As a result, Mr. Xuan became seriously ill, and his body and bones were not as strong as before.

After entering Kyoto, the environment outside the window was replaced by high-rise buildings. Xuanli knew that there was no place comparable to Yanyu Town in the south of the Yangtze River.

The car stopped at an alley, Jiang Cheng unbuckled his seat belt, "We're here, get out of the car."

Xuanli pressed the red button, but the seat belt showed no sign of loosening. She tried several times in a row but it didn't move.

Jiang Cheng waited outside the car for a while, and seeing that she hadn't gotten out of the car yet, he got in from the driver's seat.

"You haven't even been in a car in Jiangnan, have you?" He said and leaned over to help her unbuckle her seat belt.

The familiar orange smell from last night's coat came back again, and Xuanli felt a little dizzy from the smell.

When he came to his senses, Jiang Cheng was already standing at the door of the car.

He put his hand on the door frame and bent slightly to look at her, "Don't tell me you can't open the door."

Xuanli looked annoyed, pulled the door handle and got out of the car. As if she wanted to prove herself, she closed the door hard.

Jiang Cheng found it a bit funny and took out her luggage from the trunk, "Let's go."

Xuanli wanted to carry the suitcase by herself, but Jiang Cheng sidestepped her.

His voice was lazy: "Since you call me brother, you should also take care of your sister."

Jiang Cheng was tall and had long legs, so he was able to put some distance between the two of them in two or three steps. Xuanli could only follow at a trot.

He paused and did not look back, but slowed down and waited for her to catch up.

Turning around the narrow alley, the view suddenly opened up.

When you enter, you will see a large courtyard with a large area. The main entrance is a red painted door, with two festive lanterns hanging on it. On the plaque are written four big characters: Peace in the world.

"Brother Jiang Cheng, why are you back?"

A surprised female voice sounded from behind.

Xuanli was blocked by the tall Jiang Cheng and turned sideways to look at the source of the sound. She was a tall, slender and beautiful girl.

Jiang Cheng looked at her and raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Ran Ran? You won't have class today?"

"School has just ended. I'll come back to get something."

Xuan Ran's smile froze instantly when he saw the person next to him.

"……she is?"

Jiang Cheng half-turned around, revealing Xuanli's body, "She is your cousin, the third young lady of the Xuan family, Xuanli."

In fact, Xuan Ran had already guessed her identity when he saw the face that looked very much like his deceased aunt.

Xuanli knew that her adoptive parents were not a wealthy family, and could barely provide enough food and clothing. The Xuan family received a lot of money every month, but they all gave it to herself, and she was not willing to spend it, so she secretly deposited it in a bank card.

on it, and put it under the pillow before leaving.

She was wearing a junior high school uniform with the school badge of "Misty Rain Junior High School" on the chest. Her jeans were a little white after washing, but her shoes were very clean.

Xuan Ran looked Xuan Li up and down, and his words were full of arrogance: "You are dressed so shabbily, you really grew up in a ravine. I heard that there is not even a high school there, that is, a junior high school diploma. According to age

Even if you come back and study again, you won’t be able to keep up, right?”

Jiang Cheng's face darkened and he warned sternly: "Ran Ran, be more respectful to your sister and apologize to Xuan Li!"

Xuan Ran calmed down a little, but still said harshly: "Brother Jiang Cheng, I didn't say anything wrong! Why should I apologize? She is only half a year younger than me. It is already April, and there are only two months left before the college entrance examination. Is it possible for her to return the apology?

Can I skip three years of study and go directly to the college entrance examination?"

Xuan Li tugged on Jiang Cheng's sleeve and said softly, "Don't be angry, my cousin is right."

She spoke very slowly, and her soft voice extinguished Jiang Cheng's anger like a spring rain.
