When Xu Jinzhou saw the two of them, he looked at them for a full minute, and finally said in an indescribable voice: "Why are you two back together?"
Jiang Rang bit a lollipop in his mouth and said nonchalantly, "I came to see you. I met him on the road."
"Really?" Xu Jinzhou obviously didn't believe it, but no matter how much he tried, he couldn't connect the two people.
Shen Ruomian coughed, said he could borrow it, and then walked around the two of them and went in.
Aunt Zhang specially cooked a bowl of ginger tea for her. She changed into thick clothes and came out, holding the bowl and arching her eyebrows: "Thank you, Aunt Zhang."
"What are you thanking me for? I'm also an old fool. I saw you coming back from the rain yesterday and didn't think of making you some ginger tea. Xiaozhou reminded me today."
Shen Ruomian's eyes flickered for a moment, and then she drank it all without saying a word.
It was nine o'clock when Jiang Rang left, because Aunt Zhang asked if she wanted the driver to take her to her when she came downstairs. He smiled and politely said no.
Looking at the test paper on the table, I didn't write a word, and the alarm clock stopped at nine o'clock.
She also laughed, her eyes became focused, and she began to do her homework seriously. The lollipop she was reluctant to eat was placed in her sight when she raised her eyes.
When I was rummaging through my schoolbag for information, I touched the photo and remembered that I had forgotten to give this to Xu Jinzhou.
Shen Huai and Xu Shu went out to socialize and might not come back. She felt relieved and went upstairs with the photos. The door was not completely closed. She stood at the door and knocked on the door without her eyes wandering.
Xu Jinzhou put down his pen and came over, opened the door and raised his eyebrows: "Is something wrong?"
A complete photo was displayed in front of him, and his eyes darkened: "Where did you come from?" He had obviously torn it up and lost it.
Shen Ruomian put the photo in his hand and said calmly: "Keep it well, otherwise it will be gone if you throw it away."
There was still warmth in the photo, and he slowly tightened his voice, his voice hoarse.
"Do you know what this picture means?"
He wanted to say, no one is here anymore, do you want this cold thing to spite him? Do you have the intention? Shen Ruomian.
However, Shen Ruomian said: "Xu Jinzhou, it's great, you also have a family photo." There was envy in his eyes.
He froze on the spot.
——
On weekends, it is rare for the "family" to get together for dinner.
Xu Shu diligently served Shen Ruomian with vegetables: "Eat more. This time I asked Aunt Zhang to cook everything you like."
Shen Ruomian said thank you, but looking at the outstanding job, she felt uncomfortable with the sudden care, and she was blaming herself for being ignorant.
"When you go to see your Uncle Zhang today, you must be sensible and don't be rude." Shen Huai was worried because he didn't want to go with him because his company had something to do today.
Xu Shu answered for her: "What are you telling your children about? I'm here."
"I'm not afraid that she might say something wrong. That's a friend you finally got in touch with. If Mianmian is offended, it won't be good for you."
"What's the point? Anyway, as long as I can cure Mianmian's ears, it's worth it."
Shen Huai began to blame her for another thing: "You actually forgot such an important thing at school. I think it's not a big deal when you don't wear it. It doesn't matter whether you go to treat it or not."
There was no news from the police yet, so Shen Ruomian could only use the excuse that he forgot his hearing aid at school.
Xu Shu said it was okay, the child might be under a lot of study pressure and was careless.
The conversation at the dinner table was all about her, but she was speechless and stuffed the whole bowl into her stomach.
Xu Jinzhou seemed to say casually: "I'll go too."
Shen Ruomian glanced at him inexplicably.
Xu Shu put down her chopsticks and her attitude was a little colder: "I found a basketball coach for you last week. Didn't you say you were going to train today?"
"Oh." He just said casually.
After eating, Shen Ruomian followed Xu Shu in the car and arrived at a shopping mall, with no confusion on her face.
The woman now looked like the rich lady who brought Cinderella into town. She was dressed elegantly and appropriately, carrying an expensive bag in her hand, and the smile on her face was so sincere that no one could tell how sincere it was.
But Shen Ruomian could sense that she hated herself. As for why, was it just because of her husband's ex-wife?
"Amian, I see you are always wearing these clothes, and your shoes are almost worn out. Why didn't you tell me that you had no clothes?" This is the most central shopping mall in Jingzhou, on the roadside. The facades are all big international brands, and the people who come in and out are either rich or expensive.
Xu Shu's voice was neither loud nor quiet, but in a place like this that was inseparable from money, it was the most abrupt.
Shen Ruomian didn't know if the eyes that looked at her were disdainful. She was walking with her head lowered. You can imagine that a girl who is almost 1.7 meters tall can't even see her head from behind.
She tried hard to tell herself not to feel inferior and to raise her head, but the woman next to her was still talking.
"I saw you walking back in the rain that day. Do you have no money to take a taxi? If you don't have any money, just tell your aunt. If you don't know, you might think we are abusing you."
She took a deep breath, raised her head, and said with a smile, "Aunt Xu, what are you buying here?"
Xu Shu looked at her for a few seconds, then changed the topic with a smile.
"Just take a look, mainly because I want to buy you some clothes."
"No, aunt, I have enough clothes."
"Why are you so polite? Besides, your Uncle Zhang is not an ordinary person. If you go to see him dressed like this, people will be unhappy."
Shen Ruomian was dragged into the store like this, and when she came out, she had changed her appearance.
For a moment, she really felt that she was Cinderella and that all these things had to be returned at the right time. In the fairy tale, it was twelve o'clock, but she was eighteen.
This is a private hospital, not big in scale, but in Jingzhou where land is at a premium, it's pretty impressive. The one Xu Shu brought her to was on the top floor.
It was so quiet that you could clearly hear the man saying concisely: "Please come in."
The man was wearing a snow-white medical robe and gold-rimmed glasses. He was elegant and elegant. Shen Ruomian thought of this word.
"Doctor Zhang, this is the child I told you about, Mianmian, call someone."
"Doctor Zhang."
Zhang Song stood up and smiled: "Hello."
During the diagnosis and treatment, Xu Shu excused herself and walked away.
In a strange environment, facing a strange man, even Zhang Song could see her nervousness, and said in a joking tone: "I won't eat you, why are you nervous?"
Shen Ruomian laughed along with the embarrassment.
Everything went smoothly, and Xu Shu came to pick us up on time at the end.
"She is born with a condition that basically cannot be treated, but it will not affect her normal life. I can see that this child's psychology is quite serious. It should be caused by her studies. She can come to me for psychological treatment for a period of time."
Shen Ruomian remained silent and hid behind Xu Shu.
"Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Zhang."
Zhang Song slowly wiped his hands with a handkerchief, saying you're welcome, and his eyes fell clearly behind her.
