Little Yu Got Rid of the Corpse1 (1)
In the afternoon, Yu Qingshi already got a full set of textbooks of his own, so he couldn’t study together with Jiang Xiaoman anymore. He could only go back to his spot, open his own textbooks and study by himself.
The thing was, he still couldn’t show his unwillingness.
Sigh.
After much effort, he finally lasted until the evening after school.
Yu Qingshi packed his schoolbag and silently followed Jiang Xiaoman out of the classroom.
He was very quiet, and his footsteps were very light, so Jiang Xiaoman didn’t notice him for a while. After she left the school gate, she finally realized that there was a small tail behind her.
The small tail was of course Yu Qingshi, who just transferred to this school today.
In the past, the two always came and went together, but the situation this time was a little different.
Jiang Xiaoman stood at the side of the road and looked left and right, but she didn’t see the driver and car that was in charge of picking up Yu Qingshi. When she looked at Yu Qingshi, she asked, “Where’s your driver?”
Yu Qingshi shook his head.
Jiang Xiaoman asked again, “Did you come here alone?”
Yu Qingshi nodded.
“Then, don’t you have nowhere to live?”
Yu Qingshi nodded.
“Sigh, your transfer is so hasty, didn’t you plan it in advance? I prepared for mine long in advance.” Jiang Xiaoman sighed casually, making Yu Qingshi’s face turn dark.
Oh, so she had prepared for a long time, but didn’t tell him anything!
Really, Jiang Xiaoman, you’re so good!
Jiang Xiaoman stepped forward and pulled the strap of his schoolbag, “Then come home with me.”
“It’s alright.” Yu Qingshi hesitated for a moment, then patted her head. “If you’ve found them, then that’s good.”
Jiang Xiaoman blinked and pressed one hand on the spot Yu Qingshi touched just now, thinking that the feeling was a little novel.
His palms were large, wide, and warm.
...It was even a bit like Grandma’s.
It made her feel like depending on him.
Her little childhood friend had grown taller and bigger than her, and looked more and more like a man.
Jiang Xiaoman sighed, suddenly feeling a sense of joy and relief that someone would have when a child in the family grew up, as well as a sense of loss.
It was very complicated.
She suppressed that feeling quickly, and then started chatting with Yu Qingshi, complaining about how hard her days had been lately.
“...in short, things have been really hard.” Jiang Xiaoman finished explaining about Liang Yuanqing, and then talked about her grandfather. “My grandfather is still in the hospital. It seems that there are no major problems, but the doctor said that he can’t be discharged from the hospital yet, and he has to stay there for further observation. ”
“I... I’m going to visit him.” Yu Qingshi became a little nervous. His Adam’s apple moved imperceptibly, and he summoned his courage, “I haven’t met your family yet. He must be lonely in the hospital.”
So was his mother. She was alone, very lonely.
Yu Qingshi lowered his eyes, waiting for Jiang Xiaoman’s reply.
“Okay! Tomorrow is Friday, we’ll go on the weekend.” Jiang Xiaoman had the habit of immediately taking action once she made up her mind. She took out her mobile phone and called Wen Hui.
“Hi, Mom. I want to take my friend to visit the hospital tomorrow. Can you lend me the driver at home?”
“It’s my good friend.”
“Okay, thank you Mom. Sorry to trouble you.”
