Xu Jiangzhe quickly finished his lunch, said to Liu Ling, "I'm going upstairs to rest," and left.
Although Liu Ling wanted to say a few more words to her son, she also knew that her son was under heavy academic pressure and that the private high school was notoriously strict, with not much time for lunch break, so she had to endure it.
However, Xu Jiangzhe, who went upstairs, did not return to his bedroom. Instead, he skillfully opened the door next to his bedroom and walked in.
When he opened the door, Xu Jiangzhe saw a handsome figure leaning on the bed. The sunlight shone in from the large floor-to-ceiling windows, and the fuzz on the fair face was clearly visible.
When Xu Jiangzhe saw that figure, his eyes were filled with visible intoxication...
Xu Jiangzhe held the door handle with his hand. After a pause, he slowed down his tone, closed the door and walked forward, "Ziqian, are you reading?"
Bai Yichen did not comment on Xu Jiangzhe's behavior of walking in without knocking or asking, because he had gotten used to it over the years. Xu Jiangzhe came and went freely in his room, especially the terrace that connected his room with Xu Jiangzhe's, where Xu Jiangzhe jumped in at night many times. When he heard Xu Jiangzhe's question, he did not raise his eyes, but just hummed softly, "Hmm."
Only a few almost inaudible footsteps were heard in the room, and then the edge of the bed sank, and a figure sat up.
Bai Yichen frowned slightly, and was about to try the same trick to move a little closer, but an arm was placed on his shoulder without hesitation, "I'll watch it with you."
Bai Yichen's body in this life is so weak that he can't even lift a kitten. He can only stay in bed all year round without exercising, and his lower limbs cannot move. The strength he can exert is pitifully small, so only one arm is tied around his shoulder, but all his movements are restrained at once.
Then Xu Jiangzhe climbed onto the bed and leaned against him.
Fortunately, after Xu Jiangzhe achieved his goal, he did not continue to harass Bai Yichen, but took out his study materials to read, and he was obviously well prepared. After all, he was approaching the third year of high school, and the workload was the heaviest. His private elite school was full of talents and the workload was very strict. As one of the best students, he naturally would not have it easy. In fact, most of his classmates did not leave school during lunch break, but he was reluctant to leave Ziqian, so he hurried back every day at noon.
Xu Jiangzhe let Bai Yichen read a thick book while he looked at the study materials for a while. About half an hour later, he looked at the time, closed the materials in his hand, and took the book in Bai Yichen's hand, "Ziqian, it's time for a nap."
Bai Yichen's expression remained unchanged when his book was taken away. He just nodded lightly. After having been dictated to on his own countless times over the years, he had long forgotten what it felt like to be angry.
Seeing Bai Yichen lying down obediently, Xu Jiangzhe leaned over to help him pull the quilt, and then he also lay down on the bed, lying next to Bai Yichen. When Xu Jiangzhe put the book in his hand back on the bedside table, he flipped it open and took a look. As expected, it was full of pure English works, and there were many uncommon words in it that he couldn't even recognize, and he couldn't help but admire it.
In fact, for some unknown reason, his father had very strict restrictions on the books Ziqian could read. He had only been allowed to read books on art and literature. As for any other books on business strategies and current affairs, Ziqian was not allowed to read them. He even never hired a tutor for Ziqian.
But even in this situation, Ziqian always manages to give a performance that amazes him.
Xu Jiangzhe put the book back. He looked at the person lying with his back to him very close to him. He raised his hand and put it on the other person, hugged him possessively, then gently rested his chin on his somewhat thin shoulder, closed his eyes in contentment, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Ziqian, you are still so outstanding...
But it doesn’t matter, no matter how outstanding you are, you will only belong to me and only to me in this life.
My Ziqian.
…
When Bai Yichen woke up from his nap, Xu Jiangzhe was no longer by the bed. Bai Yichen looked at the time and knew that he had gone back to school.
Bai Yichen lowered his eyes, picked up the book that he had placed beside his pillow at some point, and continued to read...
…
…
As a top student, Xu Jiangzhe naturally holds some positions in his class. Logically, he should come earlier than ordinary students, but as he goes back and forth like this every day at noon, he is inevitably a little hurried when he comes back.
When Xu Jiangzhe returned to the classroom, some classmates saw him. Some of them smiled and greeted him. Xu Jiangzhe nodded in response. Just as Xu Jiangzhe was about to return to his seat, someone from a group of people chatting enthusiastically in the corner of the classroom suddenly saw him and quickly reached out to greet him, "Jiangzhe, come here quickly!"
Xu Jiangzhe glanced at the people gathered over there, pushed his glasses, and walked over.
The school that Xu Jiangzhe attends is a famous local elite school for the aristocracy. It can be said that most of the children of wealthy and powerful families in this city and several nearby cities attend it. Although Xu Jiangzhe's family background is good, it is not the best among them. Among the group of people who greeted him, there are several whose family assets are no less than his. As for the rest, they are the elders in their families who have real power.
Seeing Xu Jiangzhe coming over, Li Wei, the boy who had just greeted Xu Jiangzhe, immediately smiled and explained the situation to Xu Jiangzhe, "Isn't it Liang Weiwei's birthday tomorrow? We have agreed to attend her birthday party together, don't forget it."
Xu Jiangzhe pushed his glasses and nodded. Liang Weiwei was the daughter of a powerful minister in the city. Even if Li Wei didn't remind him, he would not forget her birthday party.
Some people talked for a while, and suddenly someone mentioned, "By the way, isn't your birthday coming up soon, Xu Jiangzhe? Haha, have you thought about how to entertain us on that day?"
When Xu Jiangzhe heard them mention this, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely not let you down that day."
Birthday parties for people like them are also social occasions. He never has to worry about such things, and his parents will help him take care of them.
The person who mentioned Xu Jiangzhe's birthday saw Xu Jiangzhe's expression and suddenly said, "Xu Jiangzhe, you are not going to find a random hotel to perfunctory us again, are you? You should be sincere. Liang Weiwei held her birthday party at home. We haven't been to your house yet. Why don't we just go to your house on your birthday?"
Xu Jiangzhe has a good family background, is good-looking, and is a top student. All these qualities make him very popular among these people, especially among girls. When the girls in the circle heard that they were going to Xu Jiangzhe's house, their eyes lit up and they looked expectant.
However, when Xu Jiangzhe heard this, his eyes turned cold for a moment, but this emotion flashed very quickly, and he covered it up by pushing up his glasses, so no one noticed anything. He smiled as usual and said, "I'm afraid it won't work at home. There will probably be a lot of people coming that day, and there may not be enough space at home. And it will definitely not be as good as the hospitality in the hotel. If I don't treat them well, I will be guilty of a great sin."
When they heard Xu Jiangzhe's words, disappointment flashed across the faces of several girls, but when they thought about the fact that Xu Jiangzhe's family was a business, and they didn't need to keep a low profile like Liang Weiwei, and it was possible that they couldn't entertain so many people, no one said anything.
The group chatted for a while, and then dispersed when class was about to start. Xu Jiangzhe returned to his seat, but his eyes quickly turned cold. Go to his house and let them see his Ziqian? Humph, don't even think about it!
…
…
Xu Jiangzhe's birthday arrived as scheduled, and Xu Weihai and his wife also prepared a grand birthday party for him. Everyone moved to the hotel, and the villa suddenly became much quieter. But for Bai Yichen, not being able to see the family of three was a rare moment of relaxation.
In the hotel, there was an endless stream of people coming to celebrate Xu Jiangzhe's birthday, and Xu Weihai and his wife were also beaming with joy and in high spirits. Over the years, Xu Weihai had taken sole control of the company, and with the good times, the company had developed even better, and the two were usually very proud of themselves.
This can be seen from the number of people who celebrated Xu Jiangzhe's birthday. No matter it was Xu Jiangzhe's classmates with extraordinary family backgrounds in school, or Xu Weihai's friends in the business world, they all came in great numbers, and the gifts they gave soon piled up like a small mountain.
When everyone was celebrating Xu Jiangzhe's birthday, no one knew that in Xu Weihai's villa, there was a boy whose birthday was only a few days later than Xu Jiangzhe's. And once upon a time, this boy's birthday was even more lively than Xu Jiangzhe's.
However, when no one remembered the boy's birthday, there was one person who always kept it in his heart, and that person was the protagonist of the party, Xu Jiangzhe.
After the birthday party, Xu Jiangzhe was dragged out by his classmates to play for a while. When he returned home, it was already very late. Moreover, he was a little tipsy because he was forced to drink some champagne and red wine.
Xu Jiangzhe pushed away the servant who wanted to come up to help him and signaled that he was fine. At this time, Xu Weihai and his wife had already fallen asleep, so Xu Jiangzhe went straight upstairs and pushed open the door next to his bedroom as if he knew the way.
At this time, Bai Yichen was originally in a deep sleep. Without any warning, he felt a weight on his body and was awakened by the pressure.
When he woke up, he smelled a faint smell of alcohol, and the man on top of him kept murmuring, "Ziqian, Ziqian..."
Bai Yichen's face darkened for a moment. He tried to struggle, but the weight of a living person on his body was not something he could handle. So he could only say, "Xu Jiangzhe, get up!"
"I don't want it!" After hearing Bai Yichen's words, Xu Jiangzhe hugged the person in his arms a little tighter.
The room was silent for a moment. Xu Jiangzhe seemed to be afraid that the person in his arms would be angry. After a while, he took the initiative to relax his strength and softened his voice: "Ziqian, it's your birthday in a few days. What do you like?"
"Will you give me everything I like?" Bai Yichen was pinned down and unable to move, sneering silently in the darkness.
"Um."
"I want to go to the mall for a day and go out and have a look. Is that okay?"
Xu Jiangzhe fell silent all of a sudden.
Bai Yichen had expected this, and said coldly, "No, then can you lend me your phone for a day?"
This was obviously also a difficult question to answer. Bai Yichen waited for a long time but received no answer. When he tried to push Xu Jiangzhe again, he found that this drunk man had already breathed steadily, as if he had fallen asleep.
As to whether he was really sleeping or pretending to sleep, only he himself knew.
A few days later, on Bai Yichen's birthday, Xu Jiangzhe prepared a birthday cake for him and gave him a beautiful gift. It was an exquisite diamond watch, with a circle of diamond light shining on the dial of the watch, beautiful enough to take one's breath away. Considering Xu Jiangzhe's age, this was indeed the most expensive gift he could give. But for Bai Yichen, being trapped in this house, unable to even go out the door and see any strangers, it really couldn't even play the most basic decorative role.
Xu Jiangzhe put the watch on Bai Yichen's wrist, regardless of whether Bai Yichen was willing to accept it. After putting it on, he held the hand and admired it for a while, then took it to his lips and kissed it lightly, his eyes under the glasses were affectionate, "Ziqian, happy birthday to you."
…
…
Unknown to both of them, in a bustling commercial street with many office buildings, a man in one of the buildings pushed out a teenage boy with a headache, "Why are you here again? Didn't I tell you that we are a one-way commission and are only responsible for completing the tasks given by the client. If the client doesn't ask for anything else, we can't harass him."
The person who spoke was a man in his late twenties, dressed elegantly in a suit and tie, looking like a typical white-collar elite. The employee badge on his chest said Qinglin Law Firm.
The person being pushed out was a teenager in his teens. He had a thin body typical of his age, and his clothes were simple, but they did not hide his handsome appearance. His pair of black eyes were full of spirit, as if they could speak. However, being pushed out like this attracted the sidelong glances of passers-by, but he stubbornly did not leave, but continued, "I want to see that big brother again. I know him. He saved me and has been supporting me. I want to thank him in person."
The middle-aged man's mouth twitched. What he said was true, but he also had to be willing to see him. He really didn't expect that an ordinary grant commission he accepted a few years ago would cause such a trouble that he couldn't get rid of.
In fact, when they first saw the sponsored little boy come to them, they heard his request and thought it was not a big deal, so they did call him. However, the person who answered the phone was not the boy who had commissioned them, but a middle-aged man. After listening to them, the middle-aged man said frankly that he did not want the sponsored person to contact them, saying that they did not like to be disturbed. Not only that, the middle-aged man even transferred a sum of money to their office, hoping that they would not disclose any information about the client to anyone and not come to them again.
This was simply a good thing of giving away money for free, so the firm was bound to respond. As a result, their already tight-lipped employees became even tighter than river clams. It was impossible for a kid with little social experience to beg for help simply by asking a few questions.
Fang Ruoming had been waiting at the door of the office until everyone had left work, but no one came to pay any attention to him. He looked at the closed door of the office, pursed his lips and left.
Fang Ruoming left the bustling commercial district and transferred several stations before returning to the orphanage in the suburbs. As soon as he got back to the orphanage, he found a few friends he knew well. "Didn't we say we were going to hand out flyers together? Let's go."
Several of the friends were familiar with Fang Ruoming, so they followed him without saying anything. However, a new member looked at Fang Ruoming with a strange expression, and finally couldn't help but said, "Hey, Fang Ruoming, why are you working with us? Don't you have someone to support you?"
It was no secret in the orphanage that Fang Ruoming had someone sponsoring him. Moreover, it was said that the sponsor gave him a lot of money, a large sum every year, which was enough for him to live comfortably even if he was not adopted. So he couldn't understand why Fang Ruoming, who obviously had a large sum of sponsorship, would follow them to distribute flyers.
Hearing this person's question, Fang Ruoming paused and pursed his lips and said, "Because I want to make money. There is someone I want to meet. I have to make a lot of money to find him."
"Oh." The boy replied, but he didn't quite understand what Fang Ruoming said.
"I will find him. I will definitely see him again." Fang Ruoming murmured, thinking of the big brother who rescued him from the car, with an inexplicable determination in his expression.
…
…
Another year passed quickly. During this year, Bai Yichen was still trapped in this small place every day and could not leave even a step. However, Xu Jiangzhe ended his high school career and was admitted to university.
To everyone's surprise, Xu Jiangzhe, who scored high, did not choose the most famous universities, but chose a university in the city. Although this university is not bad, the gap with those top universities is imaginable. Xu Weihai and his wife were naturally very dissatisfied with Xu Jiangzhe's choice, and even got very angry, but they failed to change Xu Jiangzhe's mind. In the end, Xu Weihai and his wife could only choose to convince themselves for Xu Jiangzhe's insistence. Yes, for people like them, those most famous universities are just good to say, but they are actually useless. Jiangzhe stayed in the city, just as he said, so that he could participate in the company's affairs more conveniently.
Although they had been comforting themselves in this way, Xu Weihai and his wife still felt very sick. Under this major event that made them so angry that they couldn't eat well for several days, Xu Jiangzhe took the opportunity of the summer vacation before school started to dismiss the caregiver who took care of Bai Yichen without authorization. This was no longer a very noticeable thing.
Of course, Bai Yichen's caregiver being fired was not an important matter for Xu Weihai and his wife, but it was a crucial matter for Bai Yichen, affecting almost every aspect of his life.
However, facing Bai Yichen's cold face, Xu Jiangzhe, who was wearing a pair of glasses and looked gentle and sharp, smiled and said, "I have learned everything from the nursing association. Let me do these things from now on."
Bai Yichen frowned tightly, "Don't you still have to go to school?"
"The courses in college are very easy, not like those in high school. I will have plenty of time to take care of you in the future."
Bai Yichen took a deep breath, trying to calm down the irritability he hadn't felt for a long time. However, he knew Xu Jiangzhe's temper very well, and knew that there would be no chance of getting the caregiver back once he was fired. At this moment, he could only regulate his emotions by himself.
As Xu Jiangzhe looked at the handsome figure on the bed, the smile on his face deepened. He raised his hand and gently pushed the person down on the bed, "Let me wipe your body."
Xu Jiangzhe's tone was gentle and doting, but his actions were irresistible. Bai Yichen couldn't even get out of bed in this life. His frail body had no strength at all and naturally couldn't resist Xu Jiangzhe's force. He was easily pinned down on the bed.
Bai Yichen, lying on the bed, clutched the velvet quilt tightly with his fingers, and his ten fingers were deeply embedded in it.
The author has something to say: Ah, why are the people in this world so young? I was so angry that I ate a piece of melon.
