CH 64

Ch. 64 Is it him?

Seeing that Gu Jingzhu was still standing, Jiang Juan got up and took the initiative to help him pull out the chair, “Grandpa, sit and rest for a while.”

Gu Jingzhu was invited by an old friend to come here to soak in the hot springs and relax. In his spare time in the afternoon, he strolled around by himself, and when he was tired from walking, he found a place to rest.

He wasn’t hungry at first, but for some reason, when he saw the things placed in front of the two boys by the window, he was suddenly very interested, so he stepped forward to ask, but he didn’t expect these two children to be so enthusiastic.

Gu Jingzhu sat down and couldn’t help but smile when he saw the boy on the opposite side with smiling eyes, as he asked, “Still studying?”

Jiang Juan said, “Yes, I came out to play during the weekend.”

Gu Jingzhu nodded and asked where he was from. Jiang Juan answered, and Gu Jingzhu said, “City A, it’s a good place.”

Jiang Juan pushed the plate with the dimsum in front of Gu Jingzhu, “Grandpa, are you not from City A? Are you here to relax?”

Gu Jingzhu said: “I, like you, came with friends.” Turning to look at the counter, where there were many people lining up, Xie Jingxian stood at the end of the line, with two girls were peeking at him and exchanging a few words in a low voice from time to time, looking very excited.

After struggling for a long time, one of the girls walked up to Xie Jingxian with a mobile phone. Although they couldn’t hear what they were saying, they could still guess by looking at the action. The girl wanted to ask Xie Jingxian for contact information.

Jiang Juan narrowed his eyes, and when he saw the girl retreating to the side with a disappointed face, he shook his feet and drank a large sip of milk tea with satisfaction.

Gu Jingxian sighed with emotion, “It’s nice to be young.”

Jiang Juan said, “Huh?” Gu Jingzhu smiled and said, “I was like him when I was young, and was very popular with girls.”

Jiang Juan said, “Grandpa, you must have been very handsome when you were young.”

Gu Jingzhu shook his head, “Not as good as you.”

After a while, Xie Jingxian came back. He put the milk tea and cake in front of Gu Jingzhu, pulled out the chair and sat beside him.

Gu Jingzhu stirred the milk tea with a straw, took a sip, and then smiled, “Not bad.”

Xie Jingxian said, “I didn’t let him put too much sugar.”

Gu Jingzhu said, “It’s good, it’s sweet enough.” He put down the straw and chatted with Xie Jingxian. Jiang Juan sat quietly by the side, not interrupting.

When the sky darkened, Gu Jingzhu answered the phone, got up and said to Jiang Juan and Xie Jingxian, “Thank you, I had a great afternoon.”

Xie Jingxian followed and stood up, “It’s getting dark, we will send you back.”

Gu Jingzhu looked very happy, “Then I’ll trouble you.”

The heater was on in the store, and it was very warm inside, so Jiang Juan opened the zipper of his coat. Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out of the store, he was faced with the bone-chilling cold wind, and couldn’t help shivering.

Before Jiang Juan could do it himself, Xie Jingxian walked up to him, helped him close the zipper, pulled up his hat, and put it on his head, “It’s cold outside, put it on.”

Gu Jingzhu next to him smiled and watched them interact, his expression as usual.

Jiang Juan didn’t know why, but he felt a little guilty. He touched his nose and was about to say something to make up for it, but Gu Jingzhu and Xie Jingxian had already started walking, so he had to swallow the words and follow.

The three walked to the hotel where Elder Gu lived, and saw a person standing at the entrance of the hotel from a distance, looking towards this side.

Gu Jingzhu raised his hand and called Lao Hu, and the man walked over while laughing. It wasn’t until he got closer that Jiang Juan saw the man’s face clearly.

About the same age as Elder Gu, but quite fat and looked very rich. 088 thoughtfully found out the person’s information and enlarged it before Jiang Juan’s eyes.

In fact, there was no need for 088 to do it, Jiang Juan knew the identity of this person.

This person’s name is Hu Rui, an alumnus of Mr. Gu. Although Gu Jingzhu left the country later, the two have always been in touch.

Hu Rui is a righteous and kind-hearted person. Mr. Gu has had a hard time all these years, and thanks to this friend’s company and enlightenment, he was able to slowly walk out of it

As soon as Hu Rui saw Xie Jingxian, his eyes widened. He looked at Gu Jingzhu with excitement, as if he wanted to say something, but Gu Jingzhu lightly shook his head at him.

Hu Rui responded very quickly, and immediately regained his composure. He smiled at Jiang Juan and Xie Jingxian, “Thank you for staying with my friend, he is unfamiliar with the place and I was worried whether he would be lost or something. It’s dinner time, let’s go, I’ll invite you to dinner as a thank you.”

Jiang Juan really wanted to stay with Old Master Gu for a while, or rather, he wanted Xie Jingxian to stay with Old Master Gu for a while, so he said, “Then we should be obey our elders.”

Xie Jingxian glanced at Jiang Juan, and when he saw that Jiang Juan was very happy, he did not refuse.

During the meal, Hu Rui asked Jiang Juan and Xie Jingxian about the situation at home by chatting. In this way, both the host and guests enjoyed the meal.

As soon as Jiang Juan and Xie Jingxian left, Hu Rui suppressed his smile, as he said to Gu Jingzhu, “Old Gu, this child looks just like sister-in-law when she was young, his eyebrows and eyes are way too similar, do you think he would…”

Gu Jingzhu frowned and shook his head gently, “I don’t know either, but the first time I saw him, I felt familiar.”

Hu Rui took out his mobile phone, “No, I have to get someone to check.”

After dinner, Jiang Juan and Xie Jingxian walked around the neighborhood again, to help digest the food.

At about seven o’clock, the two went to the hot spring. They have been in the car for almost the whole morning, then climbing mountains and wandering in amusement park. They had not taken a break even for a moment. At this time, they decided to go to the hot springs and then get a good night’s sleep.

While walking towards the hot spring, Jiang Juan was only focused on talking to Xie Jingxian, not paying attention to the banana peel that someone had thrown on the ground, as he slipped his foot, and leaned forward.

Xie Jingxian immediately protected Jiang Juan and used himself as a cushion.

Jiang Juan felt a severe pain in his back, which obviously did not belong to him, but Xie Jingxian.

The first thing Jiang Juan saw was Xie Jingxian’s blushing face, which was because of the steam, his jet-black hair dripping with water, his dark eyes, the high nose bridge, and those beautifully shaped lips.

As if possessed, Jiang Juan lowered his head. Seeing that, Xie Jingxian curled the fingers lying by his side, but he did not retreat. The two got closer and closer. At this moment, 088’s voice suddenly sounded in Jiang Juan’s mind: “Favorability +10.”

Jiang Juan suddenly came back to his senses, and when he realized what he just wanted to do, he felt embarrassed and rolled over directly into the hot spring pool.

There was a lot of movement on their side, causing everyone next to them to look over.

A young man with a child ran over to pick up the banana peel, and said a little embarrassedly, “I’m sorry, the child accidentally dropped it while eating, are you alright?”

Jiang Juan shook the water off his head and said, “It’s okay, it’s okay.”

The man repeatedly apologized to Jiang Juan and Xie Jingxian, and left after making sure that they were all right.

After the young man left, Jiang Juan didn’t dare to look at Xie Jingxian’s face. He felt that he was going crazy. He wanted to kiss Xie Jingxian just now, fortunately 088 spoke up in time. If he had really kissed him, Xie Jingxian might have even beat him to death if there weren’t so many people here.

Jiang Juan even thought about it seriously, about who was more powerful between him and Xie Jingxian?

Xie Jingxian jumped into the water, came to Jiang Juan, and asked him, “Does it hurt?”

Jiang Juan smiled and said, “It’s okay, but it’s you, are you okay?” He was so excited just now that he didn’t care about the pain, but now that he calmed down, he felt a dull pain in his back.

Xie Jingxian shook his head, “It’s okay.”

Jiang Juan was worried, as he glanced behind Xie Jingxian and was relieved when he saw that there was nothing serious.

Because of this episode, even after he got out of the hot spring, Jiang Juan remained silent until he returned to the hotel, as he still hadn’t recovered from his embarrassment.

Jiang Juan felt that he had gone crazy this time on the hot spring trip, but fortunately, Xie Jingxian didn’t say anything. Otherwise, he would definitely have been beaten into a pulp.

After a night’s rest, Jiang Juan felt better.

There was a self-study class in the evening. Jiang Juan and Xie Jingxian packed up, bought some small specialties from the mountain, and went back.

After returning from the hot spring trip, whenever Jiang Juan faced Xie Jingxian, the kiss that was interrupted by 088 always came to his mind. Although Xie Jingxian didn’t say anything, he still felt guilty and a little restless.

In order to ease this emotion, Jiang Juan threw his entire attention on studies, preparing to use it to divert his attention.

In addition to studying, Xie Jingxian also helps Jiang Juan sort out the wrong questions every day. The two of them are busy everyday, but they don’t know that in the past few days, the forum of Jincheng High School have been turned upside down.

During the break that day, when Xie Jingxian came out of the bathroom, he saw Bai Guang standing outside the door with a confused look on his face.

Xie Jingxian had noticed Bai Guang long ago, as he seemed to have something to say to him.

Xie Jingxian walked over and called out to Bai Guang, who was startled, and repeatedly blinked his eyes. There were clearly a lot of complicated thoughts in his mind.

Xie Jingxian asked, “Do you have something to tell me?”

Bai Guang shook his head subconsciously, but then nodded again, “I want to tell you, don’t mind what they say, those people are cheap, I believe you.”

Xie Jingxian said, “They?”

“On the forum, I know that you and Jiang Juan are good friends. It’s nothing like what they said. They are so care-free just because its on the internet. If they come face-to-face, they wouldn’t dare to say that.”

Bai Guang, who said a lot of words in one breath, suddenly reacted, and shouted, “You, you don’t know?”

Xie Jingxian said, “I know now.”

Bai Guang was about to cry, but Xie Jingxian patted him on the shoulder and said, “Thank you.”

When Xie Jingxian returned to the classroom, he saw Jiang Juan frowning while doing a problem. He walked over and sat down, “Have you come up with a solution yet?”

Jiang Juan immediately said, “Don’t talk for now, I already have a clue, I can do it.”

Xie Jingxian hummed and unscrewed the thermos cup beside him and handed it to Jiang Juan.

Jiang Juan was fully focused on solving the problem, and wasn’t thinking about anything else, so he tilted his head and took a sip from Xie Jingxian’s hand.

On the opposite side, Xia Qing had said a few words but saw that her deskmate did not respond to her. When she turned her head, she saw Xu Rang looking in the direction of Jiang Juan and Xie Jingxian.

She also glanced over there, and saw that Jiang Juan was doing the questions and Xie Jingxian was reading, and the scene looked very harmonious.

Xia Qing asked, “Xu Rang, what are you looking at?”

Xu Rang retracted his gaze, his slightly frowning brows loosened, as he shook his head and said, “It’s nothing.”
