"Why are you here?"

There were not many people in the class now, and Jiang Wan walked into the classroom with his hands behind his back.

"Chen Jiashu, it's like this..." Jiang Wan repeated how he reviewed with Ye Zhi and the others according to Chen Jiashu's explanation, including that they wanted to treat him to dinner today.

In the end, for fear that others would disagree, he also said that Zheng Jianan would go.

Chen Jiashu raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard this.

Seeing this, Jiang Wan started to explain, "Oh, it's just that Sisi bumped into him before, and then she invited him to dinner, so they became familiar with each other."

Chen Jiashu nodded when he heard this, "Okay, what time?"

"You agreed?" Jiang Wan didn't expect Chen Jiashu to agree so readily, and was a little surprised for a moment.

Chen Jiashu smiled and said, "Can I go even if I don't agree?"

Chen Jiashu thought that Jiang Wan would not refuse his request.

Jiang Wan glanced at Chen Jiashu and said, "You have to go even if you don't agree."

Then they asked someone to pack up their things and headed towards the agreed restaurant.

"Wanwan, hello, Chen... Chen Xueshen," Ye Zhi and the others had already arrived. Seeing Chen Jiashu, they greeted him shyly.

Wang Sisi also greeted the people, "Hello, Senior Chen."

"Hello, Li Zhengyang."

"Hahahahaha..."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jianan slammed the table and laughed, causing several people to look at him strangely. Realizing that something was wrong, Zheng Jianan lowered his head and coughed, his shoulders still heaving.

Ye Zhi's face turned slightly red after she realized what was happening. What a shame, she just called out that out of habit and couldn't change it for a while.

.........

"Hello, I'm Chen Jiashu."

After saying that, Chen Jiashu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Jiang Wan. "Chen Xueshen? Is he calling me?"

Jiang Wan chuckled, pulled Chen Jiashu to sit down, and whispered to him, "Oh, so it means you are a top student."

Chen Jiashu finally understood and nodded, "Just call me by my name from now on."

Ye Zhi nodded, said "OK" and sat down. Seeing the smile in Li Zhengyang's eyes, she glared at him.

Li Zhengyang: ...

Why are you angry at him?

They tacitly agreed not to speak.

Seeing this, Jiang Wan tried to lighten the mood and said, "Hey, now that we know each other, we're all friends. Don't be so reserved."

Zheng Jianan echoed, "That's right, we are all friends."

While waiting for the food, Zheng Jianan asked for a deck of playing cards and played Landlord with a few people, which made the atmosphere lively.

The dishes were served soon, and Ye Zhi invited everyone to eat. Ye Zhi was straightforward by nature, and after what she had just done, she realized that everyone was easy to get along with, so she was not so reserved anymore.

This was also the last meal they had together this semester.

Several people sighed, and since they were all minors, they could only drink some drinks to relieve their sorrow.

…………

During the summer vacation, Jiang Wan and Chen Jiashu returned to their old ways.

The old lady planned to take Jiang Wan to live with her aunt Jiang Wan for a few days after Jiang Wan went on vacation. Since it was summer, the temperature had been high for several days in a row.

The weather that day was unusually dark and gloomy, and the hot and humid air made people feel irritable and depressed.

Jiang Wan felt the same way. She lifted the curtain and looked out the window, fearing that it would rain soon.

After thinking about it, I decided to take two umbrellas with me when I went out, just in case Chen Jiashu didn’t bring one.

But this day, Jiang Wan went to the library as usual but didn't see anyone. When she asked, she found out that Chen Jiashu had taken a leave of absence.

So he took out his cell phone and called Chen Jiashu, frowning slightly, but no one answered.

I made several more calls, but the result was the same.

(Qibao, can you check on Chen Jiashu to see if anything happened?)

Qibao checked and exclaimed, "Ouch!" (Host, today is the anniversary of the hero's mother's death. He is currently in the cemetery.)

Jiang Wan was surprised because today was his mother's death anniversary. According to her, Chen Jiashu's father was unknown and he was raised by his mother.

After thinking about it, Jiang Wan decided to go and take a look.

Qibao sensed Jiang Wan's thoughts and asked, "Host, it's going to rain soon, you should go home quickly."

After all, the protagonist's mother was only mentioned briefly in the plot.

Jiang Wan nodded. She didn't plan to go to the cemetery to find Chen Jiashu. She couldn't help either, so she could only wait for him to adjust himself.

Chen Meng slowly walked to the door of the library and looked at Jiang Wan's figure. It seemed that Chen Jiashu treated Jiang Wan no differently.

Jiang Wan, who was sitting in the car, heard the noise and looked out the window. She saw dark clouds covering the sky. First, a few drops of rain fell, and then the rain got heavier. The sound of the rain could be heard through the glass.

The driver in front checked the weather and glanced at Jiang Wan apologetically through the mirror. "Little girl, it's raining so hard, I can only go as far as the alley entrance."

Jiang Wan smiled slightly, "Uncle, it's okay."

Hearing Jiang Wan's words, the driver muttered "This is crap" under his breath and then stopped the car.

"It's raining so hard, be careful."

In response to the driver's reminder, Jiang Wan smiled politely, said thank you, paid the money and got off the car.

The umbrella couldn't stop the rain at all, and I was soaked before I had even started walking for a while.

Jiang Wan didn't care. She rolled up her trouser legs and walked inside again.

Cemetery

A figure stood in front of the innermost tombstone. He didn't care that his whole body was wet by the rain. He just watched quietly as the petals of the chrysanthemums in front of the tomb were washed down by the rain.

The woman in the photo has a pretty face, but her eyes are full of sadness.

Chen Jiashu stroked the photo. It was the last photo taken of her before her death and the only photo he had.

He still clearly remembered those days. Although she was too weak to sit up straight, she still forced herself to hold him and talk a lot.

I confessed and apologized to him, but he no longer needed it at that time.

He only remembered that as he grew older, his mother became more and more indifferent to him. She was even unwilling to speak to him, and occasionally she would look at his face with a look of disgust.

At first he cried and felt resentful, but later he studied hard and tried to make money whenever he could, just hoping that she could live longer.

Later she left, and he sat in the room all night, feeling confused, uneasy, and perhaps sad. These emotions troubled him for a long time.

Chen Jiashu slowly raised his head. He thought that he should have let it go by now. Although he did not resent her, he could not forgive her on behalf of his younger self.

Finally, Chen Jiashu squatted down and straightened the bouquet of flowers that had been knocked down by the rain, took a deep look at the photo, and left.

Before Chen Jiashu reached his doorstep, he saw a figure under the eaves from afar. Although the heavy rain blurred his vision, he recognized it as Jiang Wan at a glance.

When I strode closer, I saw that she was soaked. Without saying anything, I quickly took out the key from my pocket and opened the door.

Jiang Wan stood up silently and followed him.

Chen Jiashu took out a new towel from the room and wiped the rain off her face.

"Why are you here? It's raining so hard."
