Chapter 1678 - His Jealousy
Duan Shu Xian finished eating her medicine and sat by her bed in a daze. It was only around nine o'clock, and she had her arms wrapped around her shoulders as she looked at the street light outside the window, while thinking about what she had said to Xi Jingchen.
He said that he would wait for her answer and let her be with him. Duan Shu Xian's heart was filled with contradictions; he was someone her cousin liked. Was she trying to steal his love? At that moment, her cell phone rang. She couldn't help but be shocked. She picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.
Duan Shu Xian saw that it was a number for this city. She reached out her hand to pick it up. "Hello."
historical
"Any more fever?" A deep, magnetic male voice came from the other end.
Duan Shu Xian immediately knew it was him. She couldn't help but be surprised. "Why do you have my phone number?"
After asking this question, she couldn't help but laugh. Who was he? He wanted to know her number was too easy.
"I checked." Xi Jingchen told the truth.
"No more fever, I'm fine now. Thank you for your concern." Duan Shu Xian replied.
Xi Jingchen said in a displeased tone, "Why is there a need to be so courteous with me? It's my duty to care about you. "
Duan Shu Xian was stunned for a few seconds, but swallowed back the words she was about to say.
"Did you take your medicine?"
"Just ate."
"Remember to rest early. See you at school tomorrow."
"Alright." Duan Shu Xian replied softly.
"Also, consider carefully what I have said to you." Xi Jingchen reminded her.
Duan Shu Xian bit her red lips. She really didn't know how to consider this matter. When she was together with him, she thought that she didn't even need to consider it.
But she could not respond to him now.
"Can you give me a little more time?" Duan Shu Xian pleaded.
"Alright!" Xi Jingchen did not force her.
At this moment, Duan Shu Xian heard footsteps coming from outside the door. She hurriedly said, "My parents are here, I'm hanging up."
After she finished speaking, she immediately hung up, and anxiously picked up the documents, pretending to look through it. At this time, Li Yu came in with fresh fruits.
"Don't look too late. Watch your eyes." Li Yu reminded her as she went out again.
Duan Shu heaved a sigh of relief. Why did the phone call with him become so secretive in front of his family?
Tomorrow was Thursday, and he would come to school. Duan Shu Xian couldn't help but worry, then will her cousin come? When Duan Shu Xian thought of this, her heart tightened.
Duan Shu Xian finished her medicine, and sure enough, she was sleepy. She had long since fallen asleep on her bed.
Early in the morning, Duan Shu Xian came to school in her father's car. She was sitting on the bookcase as she organized the books she just returned when she heard the voice of a ray of sunlight. "Shu Xian, you're here."
It was Jiang Ning who came over to see her. He was dressed in a handsome white tank with jeans, looking very sunny and handsome.
"Boss Jiang, good morning." Duan Shu Xian greeted.
"Don't call me Boss Jiang, just call me Jiang Ning." Jiang Ning's gaze, was also somewhat absent-minded as he sized up her face, revealing a few hints of adoration.
Duan Shu Xian raised her head, but didn't see him. She continued to tidy up, but not long after, she heard footsteps, and saw Jiang Ning bringing a cup of warm fresh milk over, he placed it on the table in front of her and said, "This fresh milk is for you to drink."
Duan Shu Xian said with a bit of embarrassment, "Alright, let it go! "How much is it? I'll give it to you later."
"I don't want money, I'm giving it to you for free."
"How can I accept this?" Duan Shu Xian could never accept his benefits.
"Don't stand on ceremony with me." Jiang Ning said gently.
At this moment, a slightly cold voice sounded from behind him, "I'll pay for her."
When Duan Shu Xian heard this voice, she immediately looked up in shock, to see Xi Jingchen's slender body walking in towards his while bathing in the morning sun. He was dressed in a tailored suit, his posture was tall and straight, releasing a strong heat.
Ever since Duan Shu Xian knew his identity, she already knew where that pressure came from. It was the unique aura of royalty.
"Teacher Xi, welcome to the shop." Jiang Ning turned around and smiled.
Xi Jingchen also smiled back, "Okay, when I'm free, I will come over."
"Shu Xian, this cup is free for you. I'll go get busy." Jiang Ning naturally would not let Xi Jingchen pay for her.
"Boss Jiang, maybe I should tell you, Shu Xian is with me, I will pay for her." Xi Jingchen immediately announced.
Jiang Ning's face was filled with shock. Duan Shu Xian, who was tidying up the books, was so scared that her hands became unsteady, and a book fell to the ground. She bent over to pick it up, and then looked at the two men in front of the cabinet.
"Oh!" Is that so? "Congratulations to the two of you." Jiang Ning was a little taken aback. When did Duan Shu Xian start dating the Teacher Xi?
With that, Jiang Ning laughed, turned and left, his figure clearly showing his disappointment.
Duan Shu Xian immediately looked at Xi Jingchen anxiously: "How can you say that! We obviously aren't together yet! "
"You want to refuse his good intentions? This is the best way." Xi Jingchen's eyes narrowed, at the same time, he locked onto her and asked, "Or, do you like him more than me?"
Duan Shu Xian blinked and shook her head. "Boss Jiang and I are only friends."
Xi Jingchen smiled with satisfaction and reminded him, "Even so, in the future, you will have to accept less of his benefits."
"I know." Duan Shu Xian was not good at rejecting people's kind intentions. She arranged the books on the cart and asked him, "Don't you have lessons in the afternoon? "Why are you here so early?"
Xi Jingchen watched as she organized the carts of books, then naturally said, "I'm here to help you."
Duan Shu Xian couldn't help but look at him with a flattered expression. "Then I'll be honored."
Xi Jingchen walked to her side and only said with a low voice that she could hear, "For example, being my girlfriend would be even more honored."
Duan Shu Xian's face turned a little red from the heat of his breathing. She looked around frantically, "Don't do that."
At this time, Auntie Huang walked over, and she laughed, "Yo! The Teacher Xi is here! Little Duan, I've come to help you again, right? "
Duan Shu Xian smiled, pushing the cart full of wagons to go towards the bookshelves, sorting them out.
This morning, there were not many students around, so Xi Jingchen was extremely familiar with her work.
In front of the last row of bookshelves, it was already quite far from the reading area. The surroundings were extremely quiet, and there was another dead end. There was simply no one here.
Duan Shu Xian was holding a book on the tip of her foot, so Xi Jingchen naturally reached out and stuffed it in for her. Duan Shu Xian turned around, and a strong chest blocked her path, pushing her into a corner.
Duan Shu Xian's head buzzed, the blush crawling up her pretty face. She extended her hand to push him, Xi Jingchen's gaze carried a smile as he looked at her shy and embarrassed appearance, as though there was a trace of interest in it. Duan Shu Xian glared at him angrily, only then did Xi Jingchen realize that regardless of his identity, he did not have any preferential treatment for this girl.
Not only was he not angry, he was extremely happy.
Knowing his identity, he could feel the admiration and respect in the girls' eyes. What he wanted was not this, but a woman who could show him her truest side.
"Don't be like that, Young Master Xi!" Duan Shu Xian felt a little anxious. Where was this man's gentleness and courtesy?
Xi Jingchen had to let her go. Unknowingly, he had started to lose his personality in front of this woman.
Duan Shu Xian returned to the counter, and Xi Jingchen took out a book to read closest to her. Seeing that Jiang Ning's cup of milk was still there, Duan Shu Xian thought that Jiang Ning must have sent it over to his out of goodwill, because if she didn't drink it, it would be a waste.
Duan Shu Xian held the milk and drank a few mouthfuls. When she turned around, she saw a pair of eyes looking at her.
Xi Jingchen's eyes flashed with jealousy, he walked over with a book. Duan Shu Xian had just finished drinking it all down, Xi Jingchen said to her, "Give me the cup."
"Ugh!" I will return it myself. " Duan Shu Xian didn't want to trouble him.
Xi Jingchen was not only going to return the cup, he was also going to pay the bill.
Xi Jingchen was waiting. After Duan Shu Xian finished drinking, he picked up the cup with his big palm and walked towards Jiang Ning's coffee shop. Duan Shu Xian seemed to understand something and found it funny.
To Xi Jingchen, this was what he needed, even though it didn't seem like a big deal.
Just as Jiang Ning was finishing greeting the guests, he saw Xi Jingchen coming over with a cup. He smiled: Teacher Xi, what do you want to drink?
"No need! How much is this glass of milk? " Xi Jingchen asked.
"Ugh!" "I gave this to Shu Xian." Jiang Ning did not want to settle the bill.
Xi Jingchen took out his wallet, and placed a hundred yuan on the table, then turned and left.
Jiang Ning was startled for a few seconds, he seemed to have gotten some sort of warning from the hundred yuan.
