Ji Ting had to find a job. In order to help Shen Tuchuan replenish his body, he bought supplements in different ways during this period. Shen Tuchuan's complexion became better and better, but the balance of her bank card was getting thinner and thinner. Seeing that there are only more than 2,000 left, which is the money for Shen Tuchuan's supplements for a month.
In desperation, Ji Ting found a job as a clerk in a nearby high school according to the original plan, and started to work officially. Due to the short break at noon, she didn't go back for lunch, but chose to order takeaway in the office, and she got bored after eating a few times.
Another day at noon, she was holding her mobile phone and was desperately looking for something to eat, when the front desk suddenly called her, "Xiao Ji, someone is looking for you."
Ji Ting looked up suspiciously, and saw Shen Tuchuan standing at the front desk with a cold face, holding a lunch box in his hand. After a pause, she ran over in surprise, looking at him curiously as if she didn't know him: "Why are you here?"
"Bring you food." Shen Tuchuan, who hadn't gone out for a long time, was scrutinized by all kinds of eyes all the way, and almost threw the food halfway and turned back, but at this moment, seeing Ji Ting's surprised smile, he suddenly calmed down again.
Ji Ting immediately took the lunch box from him, and Shen Tuchuan was about to leave on crutches, but she pulled him back: "I can't finish this much, let's eat together."
"No, you can eat by yourself." Shen Tuchuan looked away.
Ji Ting didn't care about him, and grabbed his arm with the lunch box in one hand: "Come in quickly, I'm starving to death, let's go to the meeting room to eat, there's no one there."
Shen Tuchuan heard that no one was there, and his pace of leaving became less firm for an instant. Ji Ting smiled and pulled him away. On the way, he met a familiar colleague, who asked curiously, "Xiao Ji, who is this?"
"My brother." Ji Ting replied in a good mood, but she didn't notice that after she said these three words, the faces of the people around her turned down.
All the way to the meeting room without a word, there was no one inside, Ji Ting waited for Shen Tuchuan to enter and closed the door, locked it and said: "There is usually no one here, so don't worry about someone disturbing you. Rest here and go back."
After she locked the door and turned around, she saw Shen Tuchuan's stinky face at a glance, and blinked her eyes in confusion. Didn't you feel okay just now? Why is it suddenly not working now
"I'm your younger brother?" Shen Tuchuan had a youthful heart. He originally wanted to wait for her to find out his displeasure, but he still couldn't help mocking, "Why, you think I'm embarrassing for you, so you can't be honest about our relationship?"
Ji Ting instantly understood why he was angry, and couldn't help laughing: "What are you thinking, I was afraid that you would think I was ashamed, so I kindly hid it from you."
"What's so scary about me?" Shen Tuchuan said coldly.
Ji Ting sighed, and sat down next to him: "Of course I'm afraid, I'm six years older than you, and I don't have much money. If others know that the woman you're with is such a waste, they will definitely laugh at you."
"...nonsense." Shen Tuchuan snorted disdainfully, but his face looked good. It's good that he doesn't think he's disabled and ashamed. As for the reason she said, although he thinks this woman is stupid, he has never despised her, let alone feel ashamed to live with her.
Ji Ting opened the lunch box, and the smell of pork ribs instantly filled the entire office. She took a deep breath with satisfaction: "Besides, the relationship with colleagues is usually not very close, so why tell them so much... It smells so good. I recently Eating takeaway makes me sick to my stomach."
"Then eat more." Shen Tuchuan said lightly.
Ji heard that he would eat more even if he didn't talk too much, and he didn't forget to help him pick up vegetables from time to time when eating. Shen Tuchuan had long been used to her taking care of him, and after eating with him for a while, he calmly said: "In the future, if I have nothing to do, I'll bring you lunch at noon."
Ji Ting paused, and looked at him with a moved face. Shen Tuchuan turned his face away: "The premise is that I'm fine, if something happens..."
"Then when you're okay, please." Ji Ting smiled calmly, but his heart was actually quite excited. Can you not be excited, the villain's male partner who was going to disappear along the road of blackening, has finally become more and more humane under her careful maintenance, and now he knows how to give her food.
Shen Tuchuan gave her a slightly disgusted look: "As for?"
"Of course, if you are willing to go to school again, I will definitely be moved to tears on the spot." Hearing that the atmosphere was good, Ji mentioned the matter of going to school at the right time, "You don't even know that I have a colleague who is annoying. Her son passed the exam last year." University, you show your sense of superiority in front of us every day, I think if you take the exam, you will definitely do better than her son."
Ji Ting babbled, seeing that Shen Tuchuan didn't respond, he couldn't help lowering his voice: "And this way, we can come here together in the morning, eat together at noon, and even go back together at night."
Shen Tuchuan's ears moved, and he said slowly after a while: "You seem to really hope that I can be an obedient boy."
"Of course, who doesn't want their children to be more obedient. If you can be obedient, I must be very proud." Ji Ting smiled calmly, making no secret of her expectations for Shen Tuchuan.
Shen Tuchuan stared at her fixedly. Faced with her inexplicable expectations, he thought he would be disgusted, but unexpectedly, he didn't feel disgusted. Speaking of it, it seems that studying is not difficult. He and Li Tuo often skipped classes and fought, and their grades were never in the top three. If he wanted to, it would be easy to get into a good university.
But he doesn't want to.
Shen Tuchuan's eyes fell on the empty pants under his left leg, his eyes were dark. The reason why Shen Tuchuan was willing to stay in school all the time was because he wanted to play ball on the playground and enjoy the fun of surfing the wall and surfing the Internet with his classmates, but now that his body is disabled, he can't do these things at all. He can't find The meaning of going to school again.
"I'm so full, thank you for bringing me food, can I apply not to wash the dishes?" Ji heard him staring at his legs, afraid that he would think of sad things, so he hurriedly interrupted his thoughts.
Shen Tuchuan paused for a moment, then looked at her mockingly: "Except for the first two days, when did you use it?"
Ji Ting smiled awkwardly, and tidied up the dishes attentively. It's really not her fault, but her natural laziness. Although she could pretend to be diligent at first, it was completely exposed after a long time. Fortunately, Shen Tuchuan was diligent enough, otherwise the two would have turned against each other because of this little thing.
After eating, the two rested for a while. When Ji Ting sent Shen Tuchuan out, a middle-aged woman was picking up a courier at the front desk. Ji Ting hurriedly pulled Shen Tuchuan out, but was still seen.
"Xiao Ji, I just heard that your younger brother is here. The young man is really handsome." The woman was not too surprised when she saw Shen Tuchuan's legs, obviously she had communicated with her colleagues just now.
Ji Ting was annoyed, but still responded with a smile: "Yes, my brother, he still has something to do, I'll take him downstairs." While speaking, she winked at Shen Tuchuan to let him go. After a while, he went obediently to the elevator.
"Your younger brother seems to be seventeen or eighteen years old. Why is he not in school now, but came here to bring you food?" the woman asked gossipingly.
Ji Ting sneered and perfunctory: "Well, I'm tired of takeaway, let him deliver some home-cooked food." When the elevator arrived, she nodded, and Shen Tuchuan went in with a blank expression.
"At first glance, he doesn't like studying. High school is the most important time. Nothing is more important than studying. He still has time to bring you meals. Does your parents care? Like my son, he just focuses on studying. , you can be admitted to a good university, you can't delay because of one or two meals... "
"Ah Xiaochuan, you forgot to bring something, wait for me!" Ji Ting shouted and rushed towards the elevator, Shen Tuchuan immediately blocked the elevator and waited for her to come in before closing it.
"Is she that annoying colleague of yours?" Shen Tuchuan asked as soon as the door closed.
Ji Ting quickly covered his mouth: "Keep your voice down, the elevator hasn't gone down yet, her ears are sharp."
Soft palms covered his face, and the tip of his nose immediately lingered with the scent of lemon. Shen Tuchuan frowned, remembering that the tiger doll that was placed by the bed now had the same smell.
After the elevator went down two floors, Ji Ting let him go, sighed and said: "But her son is really up to date, he has never been in the top ten in his class, and finally got into a key university. Talk about showing off."
Shen Tuchuan snorted: "Is this what you are good at?"
Ji Ting gave him a sideways glance: "That's right, it's just this little bit of talent. They got into key universities, and my family didn't graduate from high school. The comparison is simply too tragic." No wonder former friends would definitely beat up their children after attending the parents' meeting. If Shen Tuchuan's heart was not too fragile, she would definitely want to do it too.
"It's not a key university. If I want to take the exam, I must do better than him." Shen Tuchuan expressed disdain for her sincere envy.
Ji Ting clicked his tongue: "Thank you, people who don't even want to go to school, don't say such things to make me happy."
Shen Tuchuan stopped talking, followed her to the outside of the office building silently, Ji Ting stroked his long hair, looked at the big sun in the sky, and took out some change from his pocket: "Take a taxi back, I'll buy you a Mobile phone, if you want to come in the future, tell me in advance, and I will come down to pick you up."
Shen Tuchuan looked at the change in her hand, but didn't pick it up: "I'll walk back." He accidentally looked at her balance before, only to realize that her card only has a few thousand dollars, otherwise he wouldn't be so anxious to find a job .
"Take a taxi. When I get paid this time, I'll buy a small electric scooter. Then you can ride it for a stroll every day." Ji Ting stuffed the money into his hand, his eyes filled with tiny sunlight.
Shen Tuchuan's Adam's apple twitched, and he finally clenched the change tightly. Ji Ting gave a few more instructions, then turned and went back. When she was approaching the door, Shen Tuchuan suddenly stopped her: "Tomorrow Saturday, you go and help me with the school transfer."
Ji Ting was taken aback for a moment, then looked at him with surprise: "Really?!"
"Well," Shen Tuchuan turned his face away awkwardly, "Didn't you want me to take the university entrance exam? Then let's take the exam." In fact, going to school doesn't have to be something meaningful.
Ji Ting grinned, rushed over and hugged him with crutches together, if it wasn't because she couldn't hold him, she even wanted to hug him and turn around. Shen Tuchuan was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth worked hard: "As for?"
"Of course, especially so." Ji Ting let go of him, confirmed again and again that he was willing to go to school, and went back to work happily.
Afraid that Shen Tuchuan would go back on his word, she called someone up early the next morning to transfer to another school. When she arrived at the new school, she learned that Shen Tuchuan could apply for tuition waiver with excellent grades, sign a contract guaranteeing the college entrance examination at this school, and get scholarship. In other words, not only did the transfer not cost money, but it was also taken back, which was a great thing for Ji Ting.
Shen Tuchuan had expected this incident. When the senior high school entrance examination was over, the director of the admissions office here approached him, hoping that he could apply for the exam here, but because he wanted to go to the same school as Li Tuo, he directly refused at that time. It is precisely because he knows that there is no cost, he is willing to come, otherwise he would rather stay at home if Ji Ting had to pay for him.
The school affairs were done in just one morning. Ji Ting accompanied Shen Tuchuan for a stroll around the school. Seeing that the students here were all dressed in school uniforms, and no one showed any impolite expressions towards Shen Tuchuan, he immediately Quite satisfied.
Shen Tuchuan didn't feel anything, but he was forced to meet a lot of people in the past two days. He has begun to get used to other people's eyes, and gradually regards himself as a special 'normal person', but Ji Ting hasn't discovered this gratifying aspect of him yet. Variety.
As soon as the school was done, the hospital called and their custom-made prosthetics arrived. Ji Ting received the call at school, and after hanging up the phone, he took him to the hospital directly.
On the way there, Shen Tuchuan didn't show any expression, just sat quietly in the car. Ji Ting silently grabbed his hand and whispered: "Don't be nervous."
"I'm fine, why are you nervous?" Shen Tuchuan gave her a mocking look, but didn't shake off her hand.
The two went all the way to the hospital without a word. After getting off the car, Ji Ting didn't hold him anymore, but walked side by side with him to the hospital, looking more nervous than Shen Tuchuan. Can you not be nervous, it cost a hundred thousand, if it doesn't work, it's really a waste of time!
The doctor has been waiting for them, and when he saw them arrived, he immediately took out the artificial prosthetic limbs. Ji Ting took a look and couldn't help feeling the advancement of technology. Even his skin color was made to be the same as that of Shen Tuchuan. Feel reliable.
Ji Ting pushed Shen Tuchuan to sit on the chair, and Shen Tuchuan hid when he was about to help him roll up his trouser legs, insisting that she go out first. Ji Ting couldn't resist him, so he had to turn around and leave.
After she left, Shen Tuchuan began to wear it according to the doctor's instructions. After constant adjustments, he successfully put it on, and then called Ji Ting back.
"Okay, try to stand up." The doctor said gently.
Shen Tuchuan sat stiffly and didn't move. Ji Ting looked at him encouragingly, but didn't reach out to help him like before.
The air in the room became quiet. After a long time, Shen Tuchuan stood up holding the chair, then let go of the chair, and stood up straight unsteadily. After standing still, he followed the doctor's instructions and took a difficult step forward. Although he almost fell, he finally stood still without any danger.
This is the first time he has walked since his injury.
Shen Tuchuan subconsciously looked at Ji Ting, wanted to say something but couldn't make a sound.
Ji Ting smiled, and stretched out his hand to give Shen Tuchuan a hug: "That's great Xiao Chuan, you are really great."
Shen Tuchuan's mood was not stable, as if there were waves surging in his heart, he was silent for a long time, put his hand on Ji Ting's back, and gave her a firm hug in turn.
