The wind was strong at night, and the trees in the small courtyard were rustled.
Ren Xinghe, who was exhausted, didn't know that Ku Jie had been to the courtyard last night. He only knew that when he opened his eyes, he saw an unread message on his phone.
Jack Su: "Go out and take you to breakfast."
Ren Xinghe didn't have time to think about it, she hurriedly got up and took a look at her appearance which wasn't too bad. After spending twenty minutes washing up, she went out.
It was only 6:30 in the morning, the sky was not yet bright, and there were not many pedestrians on the road. Only sanitation workers in orange clothes were cleaning the streets.
Ren Xinghe stood at the intersection and saw Kujie's cross-country road opposite.
After she got closer, Ku Jie also got out of the car and saw that she was rubbing her hands. He took off his coat and put it on Ren Xinghe: "Why don't you wear more clothes when you go out?"
"It's not far. It's warm in the classroom." Ren Xinghe explained, "Why are you here so early?"
Someone didn't want to say that he didn't go back at all, so he made a random excuse: "I was squatting for a long time last night. I stayed up late anyway, so I stopped by to have breakfast with you and then go back to catch up on my sleep."
"Oh." Ren Xinghe had no doubts. After all, she had also seen Ku Jie squatting all night.
"Is there anything delicious nearby?"
"There is a fried dumpling shop in front of the school, but..." There are already day students going to school one after another. It shouldn't be a good thing to be bumped into.
"boarding."
Ku Jie took Ren Xinghe directly to the school gate. Then, he got out of the car to buy something, and returned to the car with a cup of warm soy milk. After that, the two of them found a relatively inconspicuous place to stay.
However, during the meal break, Ku Jie suddenly said to Ren Xinghe, "It's not meaningless."
Ren Xinghe, who was nibbling on steamed buns, raised his head in confusion: "Huh?"
"read."
Hearing these two words, Ren Xinghe suddenly froze. Some memories from last night were quickly returning to her mind, piecing together a not-so-good picture.
"It's grandma..."
"Your existence and your value do not need to be affirmed by others. You read and study to have more say in the future, not for others." Ku Jie rarely unfolded his inner thoughts, "You It’s you, Ren Xinghe, living for yourself.”
When he said the last five words, Kujie seemed to be talking to himself.
Because he understood that Ren Xinghe was not the only one who wanted to separate from his original family.
"No one can stop you from taking the college entrance examination unless you don't want to take the college entrance examination yourself."
"No one will hinder your future, unless you feel that there is no future."
"On the day of the college entrance examination, I will take you to school, and on the day after the college entrance examination, I will pick you up and leave the school. With your results... it shouldn't be difficult to get into Nanda University, right?"
Ren Xinghe ate the buns slowly, as if he was savoring the taste inside, but unknowingly, a salty taste was mixed in.
Ku Jie watched her cry and reached out to rub her hair: "Don't add random ingredients to yourself."
Ren Xinghe adjusted his emotions, paused, and said hoarsely: "Last night, I just vented my negative emotions. I never thought about giving up the college entrance examination. At least, for those few people, I couldn't. I worked hard. It’s the same that leads to the present, I won’t let any factors affect me, even if it means crawling, I will crawl to the examination room.”
"I know it all makes sense."
"It's just that before, I actually wanted to take the exam abroad. No matter how hard it is, it's fine, as long as I don't have to see those people. But now, I don't want to. There is no need to hide for a few strangers. Uncle, do you know? ?My grandma has been dragging me since I was a child, so I know what it feels like to be dragged, which is very painful and tiring, so don’t drag me. I know that I drag myself, so you just need to stay with me. Okay, even if you don’t do anything.”
"I know there is an abyss behind me, so I choose to look forward and never look back."
After hearing this, Ku Jie felt very happy, and at the same time, he felt very distressed.
Ren Xinghe is stronger and more transparent than he imagined.
What she needs is not salvation, but companionship. On the contrary, the person who really needs to be warmed up is himself.
"It's almost time, go to class."
Ren Xinghe looked at the time and put the remaining pan-fried buns and soy milk in Ku Jie's hand: "I'm leaving. You finish your meal, don't waste it."
Kujie looked at the half-bao in his hand and ate it completely without disdain.
The heavy haze of the night seemed to have suddenly dissipated.
After Ren Xinghe got out of the car, he took out his mobile phone, quickly found his mother's phone number, and blocked it completely.
Nothing can hinder her future, not even her biological mother.
…
In the following week, Ku Jie appeared in the small courtyard more often. He usually went there in the evening to have a meal and teach the children mathematics.
At this time, Grandma Ren usually hides in her room and watches TV, and also closes the door.
In the room, Ren Xinghe was finishing questions. When he looked up and saw the door of the room opposite was closed, he suddenly felt a little confused: "How did grandma add you on WeChat?"
Kujie flipped through the book beside her and shook his head: "I don't know."
"Does grandma know a lot? Besides, why does she trust you so much?"
"She said she believed in your vision." Someone replied without blushing or heartbeat.
"Where did you get the confidence to meet grandma without telling me? Didn't you say you would wait until I finish the college entrance examination?"
At this time, Ku Jie finally put down his book and looked at the children: "Take a break first. Do you have any questions?"
Ren Xinghe smiled and shook his head: "No problem, so why do you have to wait until the college entrance examination is over? I am over eighteen."
"This is a learning atmosphere, don't be biased."
After receiving the warning, Ren Xinghe seemed to suddenly understand something and couldn't help but lower his head and chuckle.
"You feel guilty about kidnapping a girl, right? The old man..."
"So, what time are you going to go to bed tonight?" The old man knocked on her desktop.
Ren Xinghe stopped talking instantly.
However, after enduring it for a while, he still couldn't hold it back: "What about your name? Are you willing to tell me?"
Ku Jie ignored her and just pushed the frame on the bridge of his nose, extremely strict.
"Stingy." Ren Xinghe muttered, refocused his energy and immersed himself in the learning atmosphere.
In the past few nights, Ku Jie stayed very late, around eleven o'clock, and he never closed the door in Ren Xinghe's room. The two of them were generous and open-minded, because he knew that this would make Grandma Ren feel at ease, even though Ren Xinghe Grandma gave them space to be alone.
Leaving the courtyard again, Kujie got in the car, took out his cell phone, and sent a message.
Jack Su: "Which identity do you want to know?"
A shooting star: "Are you some kind of spy?"
Jack Su: "About... you can only know one tonight."
