The high school that Su Jia studied at Rongshi No. 2 Middle School has long cooperated with an educational charity organization called "Xiji".
Every year, "Hope" will contribute funds to help a group of poor students with excellent academic performance.
Su Jia is one of the beneficiaries.
In the first semester of high school, "Hope" made a big donation and donated a library to their school.
On the day when the library was completed and officially put into use, "Hope" sent a representative to the school to accept interviews with reporters along with a group of school leaders.
The school selected some students to participate, but they were all sophomores. Su Jia and his group of freshmen were not qualified yet, so they continued to attend classes as usual.
But I couldn't help but someone took advantage of the recess and sneaked to the distance to watch and join in the fun.
Su Jia usually lives on campus, and only returns to her home in the county during her homecoming leave once a month. The first two days happened to be the weekend when she returned home. Because of Su Jianchuan's drunkenness at night, she was able to sleep peacefully in the early hours of the morning.
At the moment, she was lying on the table to catch up on sleep, and heard the excited discussion between the same table and the front table who just came back from outside.
"Did you see, there is a man over there 'hope' to look good."
"Really? I only saw the bald leader of our school."
"It's really super handsome, I even want to ask if it's a celebrity."
Su Jia was too sleepy, even if she tried to control her appearance, she would go in one ear and out the other, sleep was important.
During the break after two classes, the Chinese teacher asked her to go to the office to get the test papers.
Holding the test papers of the whole class in both hands, she walked through the long corridor and looked down as usual.
Below this teaching building is a vast garden, the school leader and two or three men in suits and shoes are walking through it, walking outside the school.
A young teacher shouted from behind, and a group of people turned around.
One of them was obviously different from the others. He was tall, young, and handsome, with a prominent profile and a bouquet of flowers from the school in his hand.
Su Jia stopped involuntarily.
Later, when Su Jia returned to the classroom, she heard that the students were talking about that man, and that they secretly took photos with their mobile phones and uploaded them to the school forum.
At that time, Su Jia didn't have a mobile phone, so she took a glance at her deskmate, and there was a photo in the forum that happened to be the moment when a man was holding a flower and looking back.
A high-rise building was quickly built below, and it was also through various comments that Su Jia learned that the flowers sent by the school were cream sunflowers.
It was the first time she knew that there were such unique varieties of sunflowers.
The color is as light as a touch of spring sun, and it looks like a sweet cake, which is warm enough to heal at first sight.
So later, Su Jia bought a mobile phone with the money she earned from a part-time job, and immediately found a picture of this kind of flower as a screensaver.
At this moment, Su Jia was sitting in the empty dormitory, staring at the blurry photos on the computer screen for a while.
More than two years later, she never expected to meet that man in Beicheng thousands of miles away.
In this way, Ji Xuanyi must have something to do with "Xiji", can he be considered her sponsor
She looked at Xinde Cream Sunflower again, and the corners of her lips curved unconsciously.
At this time, Su Jia took a break to look around. The cleaning aunt did her duty, and the whole dormitory took on a new look, even the air was much fresher.
There was no vase in the dormitory, so Su Jia temporarily took a small basin, put the sunflowers in the water, and washed them up again. The hour hand passed eleven o'clock.
But Yao Linxia hadn't been seen yet.
Su Jia waited for another hour, feeling sleepy, and she was about to send a message to ask her.
But when he took out his phone, he remembered, where did she get her contact information
In the rush in the afternoon, I didn't bother to exchange phone numbers.
After thinking about it, Su Jia locked the door and went to sleep. If Yao Lin came back, she would get up again and open the door for her.
She didn't expect that this night was extremely peaceful, and she slept until the next morning.
Su Jia continued the routine of getting up at six in the third year of high school, and got up early in the morning to browse the recruitment website.
After seven o'clock, the bedroom door was knocked, Su Jia ran to open it, and saw Yao Linxia who hadn't returned all night.
The first thing she said when she entered was: "Jiajia, you got up a little early."
"I'm used to it." Su Jia saw that her eyes were dark and her face was tired, "You didn't sleep all night, did you?"
Yao Lin started with a bag of food to eat, pulled away the chair and sat down, and yawned: "Yeah, I was going to ride a motorcycle, but it rained heavily, so I went to play games instead."
Su Jia spends almost all of her high school staying up late. As soon as the college entrance examination is over, she adjusts her schedule and goes to bed at 12 o'clock at the latest, let alone staying up all night. I admire her a little.
Yao Linxia was hungry as well as sleepy. She handed the big bag in her hand to Su Jia: "Do you want to eat? Zhou Yuan gave it to you, take whatever you want."
"Thank you." Su Jia took a sandwich symbolically, and returned a bottle of milk that she bought yesterday and planned to drink on the high-speed rail.
When the two were finishing their breakfast, Su Jia remembered the important thing: "Let's add a WeChat account, so it's easier to contact us if we need anything."
"Okay." Yao Linxia took out his mobile phone, opened WeChat and scanned the QR code.
Su Jia wrote a note for her, somehow reminding her of Ji Xuanyi.
She asked, "Do you have Ji Xuanyi's contact information?"
He is related to the sponsor, and it is a kindness that should be reported.
Yao Linxia was so sleepy that his eyelids twitched, and he closed his eyes while eating. Hearing this, he regained consciousness for a while, and barely opened his eyes: "Why do you ask him?"
Su Jia: "That..."
Before her explanation came out, Yao Linxia's next sentence came: "Little sister, don't be confused by his few words, he is not a good guy."
Su Jia was surprised: "What's wrong?"
Yao Lin spat out like peas: "Selfish, ruthless, vengeful, defiant."
In the end, she looked into Su Jiaqing's lingering eyes, emphasizing: "The flirtatious, the best at attacking the heart, do what he likes."
Su Jia was a little dazed by the series of idioms. She knew little about Ji Xuanyi, so she couldn't judge whether it was true or not.
She just asked, "Isn't he your friend?"
"It's a friend." Yao Lin smiled subtly, "Because I'm not a good person either."
Su Jia was taken aback.
"Such a lovely little sister, who is not afraid of cockroaches, deserves something better and simpler."
Yao Linxia patted her on the shoulder carelessly, took a few mouthfuls of bread, took off his coat and shoes, and went to bed to catch up on sleep.
Su Jia stayed where she was and recalled what she said, and found that she probably misunderstood.
But since she fell asleep, Su Jia didn't want to disturb her, so she packed her things lightly and left the bedroom.
She was out looking for a part-time job, and the person in charge of the two positions I talked to last night asked her to go there today.
After Su Jia's interview, she walked around the school and went in when she saw a job posting.
She went back to the dormitory again, and it was four or five o'clock in the afternoon. By the way, she bought a glass vase so that the sunflowers could be placed better.
Yao Linxia, who had slept for the whole day, also woke up.
She ordered takeaway and asked Su Jia while eating, "Why did you go today?"
Su Jia put the arranged flowers on the desk, and replied honestly, "Looking for a part-time job."
Yao Linxia was slightly stunned, and glanced at her unpretentious attire: "That's why you came to school so early?"
Su Jia nodded: "What about you? Why are you here so early?"
Yao Linxia's tone was calm: "I went to Europe for a while, and I don't want to go home when I return to China. My family can't accommodate me."
During these two days of contact, Su Jia observed that her family conditions are quite superior, like that of a rich lady.
As for why the family couldn't accommodate her, Su Jia didn't ask further.
As for the original family, she is also unwilling to mention more.
Yao Linxia easily changed the subject: "How is your part-time job search going?"
Su Jia replied: "I found a milk tea shop near the school and went there on weekend nights."
There is a small square with complete recreational facilities nearby, and the traffic in the afternoon and evening on weekends is overwhelming, so the boss needs help.
Yao Linxia: "Just find it."
"But I still want to find another one." Su Jia said her plan casually, and checked the recruitment website on her mobile phone to see if there was any new one.
Yao Linxia saw that she was very short of money, so he immediately pulled out his mobile phone and inquired in various groups.
A few minutes later, she asked, "I have a friend whose daughter wants to find a tutor, can you take it?"
Su Jia's eyes lit up. Tutoring is the job she most wants to take on. It doesn't take much effort and pays a lot.
She nodded like a pounding garlic: "Yes, do you have any requirements?"
After scanning through more than a dozen messages from the other party, Yao Linxia embarrassedly touched his nose: "Ah... that's a bit much to ask for."

Ji Xuanyi has been bombarded with WeChat messages from his parents for several days in a row, asking him to find time to go back to the mansion for dinner.
This Saturday, he turned down the entertainment and hurried back to the mansion.
He was also stepping into a villa decorated in Chinese style, and he didn't see it until he walked into the living room. This is not an ordinary family banquet.
A middle-aged couple and a young woman sat side by side on a mahogany couch.
Ji Xuanyi just glanced at this configuration, and he understood the specific situation.
His expression didn't change at all, and he walked steadily towards that side.
His mother is the daughter of a wealthy Russian businessman. She came to China with her grandfather to do business in her early years and met her father, Ji Dongyang.
After she got married, she fell in love with studying Chinese culture. Following her husband's surname, she took the Chinese name Ji Lin.
Ji Lin hurriedly introduced to Ji Xuanyi: "This is an old friend of your father who just came back from New Zealand, Uncle Jiang, Aunt Jiang, and their daughter Jiang Ying, who is a few months younger than you, and you both met at the banquet when you were young."
At this age, Ji Xuanyi still remembers his childhood playmates, and greeted him politely: "Hello Uncle Jiang, Hello Aunt Jiang, and Miss Jiang."
Jiang's father and Jiang's mother smiled gently, with a look hidden in their eyes.
Jiang Ying sat upright and smiled: "Hello."
In addition to them, Ji Xuanyi's elder brother and sister-in-law were also at home. A large group of people had a lively lunch.
Just after lunch, Ji Xuanyi took a step ahead because he still had an appointment in the afternoon.
This is what he told his parents earlier, and Ji Dongyang and Ji Lin couldn't find a reason to keep him.
He walked out of the villa, and his elder brother Ji Xuance chased him out: "Xiao Yi."
Ji Xuanyi stopped and said, "Brother, is there anything else?"
Ji Xuance explained for his parents: "My parents either arranged for you to go on a blind date, or the two families haven't seen each other for a long time, so don't think too much about having a meal together."
Ji Xuanyi saw that it was his elder brother who was thinking more, and replied leisurely: "Brother, don't say you didn't make it clear today, even if it was a blind date that was made clear, do you think I would care?"
Ji Xuance was surprised: "You don't care about the arranged marriage?"
"Sooner or later, you will have to go this way." Ji Xuanyi replied on the ground, "They are all businessmen, and they are all seeking to maximize their profits."
Family marriage is often a great weapon in the business field, benefiting oneself and benefiting others.
They are in Rome, and they are always going to contribute to Rome.
Ji Xuance remained silent, unable to refute, but still uttered his innermost thoughts: "I hope there is at least one person in my family who can choose as he pleases."
Ji Xuanyi has always been open about this aspect, and replied quietly: "Obviously my parents don't think so."
The phone in his hand vibrated, he glanced at the caller ID and said, "Brother, I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first."
"Okay, be careful on the road."
Ji Xuanyi walked out of the garden path, sat in the back seat of Cullinan, and connected Zhou Yuan's phone.
The other side was emotional: "I heard that uncle and aunt arranged a blind date for you?"
"Yeah." Although today's blind date is not a serious one, Ji Xuanyi didn't bother to explain, "Why, are you envious?"
"I'm envious of a big-headed ghost. I'm here to gloat." Zhou Yuan laughed loudly, not concealing his demonic nature.
Ji Xuanyi spoke lightly, as if floating in the air: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, I don't care."
Zhou Yuan doesn't pay attention to shopping malls, but he has also heard about his powerful methods in the business field in the past two years.
He was shocked: "You didn't resist?"
"Resisting what? My parents, brother-in-law, and even grandparents all got together like this."
Ji Xuanyi is not surprised, it can be said that he has no feeling for the marriage certificate. How is it different from the project contracts he signed at work
It's just a cold contract.
Who can restrain whom
No one will bind anyone.
Zhou Yuan clicked his tongue in amazement: "You just haven't met Shangxin. If you meet one day, let's see if you still look like this ghost."
Ji Xuanyi smiled carelessly, "Hang up."
Zhou Yuan: "Don't, come to the club for a horse race."
Ji Xuanyi: "Forget it today, I'll go to Brother Li's house."

Su Jia accepted the tutor recommended by Yao Linxia, and after communicating with the other party on the phone, she came here today.
The other party has a wealthy family and lives in a villa area along the river.
His family had already greeted the security guards in the community. When Su Jia arrived, she reported her name and the family she was looking for, and then went in.
The security guard on duty was enthusiastic and showed Su Jia the way: "Go straight along this road, then turn east, then west, then north..."
Su Jia's sense of direction was not very good, and she was confused.
But when he wanted to ask again, the security guard was called by an owner who came to find a lost pet to search and monitor.
Su Jia thought that every house has a house number anyway, so it should be easy to find, and even if you can't find it, you can call the owner's house and ask.
Facts showed that she still overestimated her sense of orientation, and she was dizzy in a lot of directions.
However, the design of this community is full of individuality, the roads are winding and intricate, the houses are not completely in a row, and the adjacent house numbers are often several digits apart.
For the third time, Su Jia returned to a luxuriant banyan tree. After staring at the thick trunk and thinking about the philosophy of life for a while, she was sure that she was lost.
She sighed, and was about to take out her mobile phone to call for help, when she heard a hoarse male voice from above: "Su Jia."
Su Jia looked around, and Ji Xuanyi, who was wearing a set of daily home clothes, was standing on the second-floor terrace of a villa.
He shook the glass with one hand, a careless and lazy smile stained the corner of his lips.
