Chapter 234: Speaking is a Science
The street was full of people. Xia Miao pulled He Shu into a cafe and found a booth in the corner to talk in private.
Xia Miao asked a lot of questions, all of which were about whether He Shu had suffered.
She noticed that although He Shu was a little darker and thinner, he looked in good spirits.
After asking so many questions, the only person he didn't ask was He Shu whether his time in jail would affect his future career.
Of course He Shu could only say the good things, saying that being there was just like going to work, and that he could go to the library to borrow books on weekends .
Although the food is not that rich, it is enough to fill you up. The only downside is that you have no freedom.
"Then can you still go back to school?"
He Shu nodded: "Yes, the school did not expel me. They gave me a leave of absence."
In fact, in this matter, he benefited from his grandfather's family and did not have a criminal record or any other record. The school certainly did not have any record either. He just took a leave of absence due to illness.
"So... after you go back, are you going to repeat your freshman year?"
Xia Miao is already a sophomore. She doesn't mind graduating earlier than He Shu, but she is concerned about his arrangements.
"I don't plan to repeat my freshman year. I'm also studying on my own, so I should be able to keep up."
"That's good." Xia Miao stared at He Shu, she couldn't see enough of him. Even though his hair was shaved short, he still looked very good, and even more masculine than before.
"Grandpa asked us to go back for lunch at noon. Is it convenient for you?"
Xia Miao nodded shyly: "Of course it's convenient for me, but I'm a little embarrassed."
"It's okay, my godfather is here too. I told him I was coming back last night, and he flew over directly."
"Godfather is here? I saw him when I went home on holiday."
Xia Miao didn't even notice that she had followed He Shu in calling him grandpa and godfather.
He Shu took Xia Miao's hand, remembered his godfather's words, and said thank you to Xia Miao very seriously.
"Why are you thanking me? I didn't help at all."
Being looked at so seriously by He Shu, Xia Miao felt that his eyes were so affectionate that she quickly lowered her head shyly, completely losing the courage she had just to forcefully kiss someone on the street.
"Thank you for visiting my mother."
"Isn't this what I'm supposed to do?"
When Xia Miao lowered her head and saw that He Shu was still wearing the watch she had given him, her heart felt even sweeter.
"He Shu, everything will be the same as before, right?"
"Yeah." He Shu held Xia Miao's hand and nodded heavily.
His life will return to normal, and everything before was just a special experience in his growth process.
These experiences made him grow, enriched his life, and made him stronger...
When the two returned to the compound, it was lunch time.
He Shu took Xia Miao home, and Xia Miao was holding a gift for her grandfather.
Although it is not a valuable item, it is a necessary etiquette no matter whose house you visit when there are elderly people at home.
Grandpa stayed at home with Zhao Qishui today and didn't go anywhere.
The two men had different experiences and were of different generations, but they got along very well.
Especially regarding Zhao Yan's matter, after Mr. Qi's advice, Zhao Qishui became much more open-minded.
Moreover, Mr. Qi also promised Zhao Qishui that he would do his best to help him find his son, which made Zhao Qishui feel that He Shu was really his lucky star.
With the help of the Qi family, his chances of finding it are definitely greater than if he were to find it alone.
When He Shu and Xia Miao came back, their aunt had already cooked a whole table of dishes.
Xia Miao helped to put the food on the table. Her aunt didn't treat her as an outsider and asked her to help serve the rice, which made Xia Miao feel much more at ease.
My aunt and Xia Miao sat together at the dinner table, and they discussed in low voices from time to time.
After dinner, Xia Miao had to go back to class in the afternoon, so He Shu decided to take her back and go to the school to handle the procedures for resuming studies.
It is not troublesome for He Shu to do this. The Qi family has already taken care of the reporting and approval at the school.
Seeing that Xia Miao was about to leave, my aunt took Xia Miao to the bedroom upstairs. After the door was closed, no one knew what the two of them were doing in there. They didn't come down for a long time.
Grandpa took out the chessboard and played chess with my godfather again. My godfather smiled and said, "My chess skills have improved after playing with you for a while today."
Hearing what Zhao Qishui said, grandpa laughed heartily.
"I'm a notorious chess player in the compound, but today I was able to satisfy my desire to win a few games. Hahahaha... Xiao Zhao, are you deliberately trying to make an old man like me lose?"
He Shu didn't understand chess anymore, he just laughed along when he heard it.
However, the conversation between his godfather and grandfather made He Shu feel that being able to speak is actually a science.
My godfather Zhao Qishui lives a rough life everyday, but he can make my grandfather laugh so hard.
After watching the game for a while, He Shu couldn't tell whether his godfather was really bad or was deliberately letting the game go. Every time his grandfather captured his chess piece, he looked like he couldn't help but want to regret his move.
Xia Miao finally came out of her aunt's room, carrying a small light pink shoulder bag.
"He Shu, my aunt gave it to me."
Xia Miao was embarrassed to ask for it, but He Shu's aunt was too enthusiastic.
"This color is only suitable for Miaomiao 's age. If my aunt goes out with it, won't people laugh at her?"
Zhu Yu walked down with a smile and came to Xia Miao: "Don't be polite with your aunt, this bag was brought to me by my sister-in-law from my mother's family when she came back from abroad. I don't know what brand it is."
"I like this style, but the color is too tender. I have never been able to carry it out."
"I don't have a little girl at home, and it's a good thing that you're here, so you can take it and use it, instead of leaving it there to gather dust. It would be a pity if the style becomes out of fashion in a few years."
Grandpa also took a look and smiled kindly, "Well, this color is suitable for the little girl. Xia Miao, Aunt Xiaoshu gave it to you, so you can take it."
Xia Miao blushed when her aunt and grandpa praised her, and whispered, "Thank you, aunt."
After leaving home, Xia Miao held He Shu's hand and trotted away. Only after they ran out of the compound did they look at He Shu embarrassedly.
"He Shu, shouldn't I take it? How about you bring it back when you come back later?"
Xia Miao always felt that it was not right to accept such an expensive gift from He Shu's aunt. She knew the brand of this bag. She heard that the cheapest one cost several thousand yuan, and the most expensive one cost hundreds of thousands. It was a real luxury product.
This small bag doesn’t look big, and Xia Miao feels that even if it costs seven or eight thousand, it is still too expensive for her.
But just now in the room, she really couldn't refuse the enthusiasm of He Shu's aunt.
"Your aunt gave it to you, so just take it. It would be even worse to give it back."
He Shu didn't know any luxury brands, but he thought the bag was very exquisite and Xia Miao looked very good wearing it.
“And I think it suits you.”
"Is it really beautiful?" Xia Miao also knew that it was beautiful, and she also liked this small bag very much, but she still wanted to hear He Shu say that she was beautiful.
He Shu smiled and nodded: "It's really beautiful..."
"Which one is prettier, the bag or me?"
"……?"
