Chapter 165 Looks Really Like You

Eat, sleep, study, and count.

This is basically how Xi Ruan spent the past few days.

As for Jiang Xiaoshu, Bai's father took him away every day, leaving early and returning late. No one knew where he went, and neither of them would say anything when asked.

It was dark. Xi Ruan looked out the window at the garden, but never waited for Bai's father and Jiang Xiaoshu to come back. She had no choice but to fall back on the bed and sighed heavily.

In the end, the only time they spent together each day was during breakfast.

Less than when I was in the apartment and at school.

Xi Ruan picked up the phone and sent a message to Jiang Lingsi.

XR: [Jiang Xiaoshu, I'm sleepy, are you guys coming back soon? ]

XR: [[Little Bear Yawns.gif]]

She waited for a while, and sure enough, Jiang Lingsi replied soon.

04: [Go to sleep. Your dad and I won’t be back until later.]

Xi Ruan pursed his lips.

I don’t know what they do every day. They come back late at night every day.

XR: [Okay, I'll go to sleep first, and you guys try to come back as early as possible. ]

XR: [Good night, Jiang Xiaoshu. ]

After sending the message, Xi Ruan stared at the screen, watching the continuously flashing "The other party is typing".

04: [Good night, little soft bag. ]

Getting the answer she wanted, Xi Ruan smiled lightly, rolled around on the bed with the phone in her arms, then skipped off to wash up.

On the other side, Jiang Lingsi was glared at by Bai's father as soon as he put down his phone.

He didn't explain anything, just sat back in his chair and relaxed, taking a bite of the peanuts from the cold dish in front of him.

At the dinner table, the older leaders from all parties were talking loudly, and he seemed a little out of place next to Mr. Bai.

He actually did nothing these days except staying with Bai's father and accompanying him to work and various places.

Father Bai didn't let him run errands or help, nor did he teach him anything. He just let him follow and watch.

But Jiang Lingsi could understand Bai's father's intention.

To be honest, Jiang Lingsi felt that Mr. Bai was closer to him than his biological father because he could do this as a stepfather.

——At least countless times better than his biological father.

Of course, it would be better if he didn't always look at his nose as if it's not a nose and his eyes as if they're not eyes.

“Boss Bai, I have to toast you with this cup today no matter what!” A middle-aged man came over, holding the backs of a group of people’s chairs. His face was flushed, and he was obviously drunk. “If it weren’t for you, if it weren’t for you… wuwu… I would, I would… wuwu…”

The man started crying as he spoke, his words were unclear, and he even spoke in dialect. When he got emotional, he was about to kneel down to Bai's father.

Father Bai pulled the man up and comforted him, accepting his toast.

Jiang Lingsi looked at him with some amusement. Somehow, the man raised his eyes, saw him, and staggered over to him.

"Boss Bai, your son is already this big!?"

The drunken man patted his shoulder hard, his voice as loud as a trumpet.

"Boss Bai is so lucky! Look at this young man! How tall! How handsome! And how long his legs are!"

The man gave a thumbs up, his expression extremely sincere, praising from the bottom of his heart:

"Looks exactly like you!!"

In an instant, Father Bai and Jiang Lingsi's faces turned dark.

The two looked at each other, then glanced away at the same time, with two words written all over their faces:

Dislike it.

-

Xi Ruan was extremely looking forward to going to school these two days, and even Jiang Lingsi noticed it.

When the scar on her body had finally healed completely and there was no difference between the new skin and the surrounding skin, Bai's father let her go.

The morning sunshine is clear and bright, and the morning breeze is cool, which is very refreshing when blowing on your face.

Xi Ruan sat in the car, opened the window and looked at the scenery along the road.

The driving distance from the suburban villa to the school is much longer, and the street scenes are varied. Even Chengzheng, who was leaning against the window, was watching with his tail wagging.

Jiang Lingsi, who was sitting next to him, raised his eyebrows slightly, looking a little puzzled.

Normally at this time the little girl would be memorizing words or texts or something, but today was very unusual.

"What's wrong?" He reached out and touched Xi Ruan's ponytail, but did not let go of his hand. His fingertips entangled a strand of her hair and twisted it around.

Xi Ruan turned her head, but her amber deer eyes did not have the brightness and cheerfulness that Jiang Lingsi had imagined.

Jiang Lingsi stopped moving his fingers, and his originally lazy expression became serious. "What happened?"

Xi Ruan met the boy's black eyes and finally came back to her senses.

But she didn't seem to understand what he meant and was very confused: "Huh? Nothing happened."

"It's a lie." Jiang Lingsi denied it directly.

Xi Ruan looked at Jiang Lingsi steadily for two seconds, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

She turned her head again and looked out the window. "Actually, I'm a little worried."

"Worry?"

"Well, you can see on the streets, on billboards at bus stops, and on buses, there are advertisements for the shower gel that I endorse."

Jiang Lingsi looked over and saw a No. 12 bus passing by.

The entire bus was covered in a light blue background. There were several big bubbles on the large flat area under the bus body. The girl's upper body was in front of a bubble, holding a bottle of shower gel.

She tilted her head slightly, with her temple touching the pressure head of the bottle, and raised the sweetest and brightest smile. Her amber eyes sparkled as if they were filled with honey, which made people feel good just by looking at them.

His heart suddenly skipped a beat, and before he knew it, the bus had stopped and was out of his sight.

He gazed at the billboard at the bus stop and saw a little girl blowing bubbles made from the shower gel in her hand. Her playful and cute look made people want to pull her out, hold her in their arms and rub her hard.

He saw a female student waiting for a bus standing in front of the billboard. She stood on tiptoe to reach it, blocked the bubbles in the little girl's hand with her head, put her face next to the little girl's pouting lips, closed one eye and made a scissors hand gesture for a selfie, as if the little girl in the billboard was kissing her.

Jiang Lingsi suddenly felt a complex feeling in his heart, a mixture of various emotions, and it was difficult to describe what it was exactly.

He looked at the person next to him again, and inexplicably felt a subtle sense of separation.

It was just like the feeling he had when he first looked at her singing on the stage from afar, except that the feeling was now amplified a lot more and mixed with more things, making it difficult to describe.

With a slight "buzz" sound, Jiang Lingsi raised the window, isolating himself from the outside world.

"What are you worried about?" he asked in a deep voice. The space in the car with only the two of them calmed his chaotic mood a lot.

Xi Ruan raised her eyes, her tone a little depressed, "I just suddenly felt that it was a little unrealistic."

"Now my presence is everywhere, just like when my song became popular. Will there be a day when I disappear from everyone's world like I did then?"

Jiang Lingsi's eyes darkened when he heard this.

Is intuition scary?

According to what he knew about her original life trajectory, she would indeed face such a situation, and it would be much more embarrassing.

But he would never let her fall into that situation again.

After making up his mind, he raised his hand and pinched the little girl's cheek, then flicked her head, saying in a relaxed tone, "Stop overthinking. Worrying about hypothetical things that haven't happened is just embarrassing yourself. Understand?"

Xi Ruan rubbed his forehead resentfully, "You don't understand. It's not like it hasn't happened before. It's just because you've experienced it that you're afraid."

She muttered softly, but Jiang Lingsi's heart suddenly tightened and the breath in his chest became stagnant.

In fact, she never mentioned much about what she had experienced in the years after her voice was destroyed. He only knew a small part of it, but he knew it was not easy.

It's a very bad time.

Jiang Lingsi lowered his eyes, and couldn't help but hold her body in his arms, stroking her hair and comforting her softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. I will always be with you."

"Really?"

"real."

"You'll stay with me no matter what happens?"

"I'll be with you no matter what."

"Even if I'm not pretty anymore and have a bad temper, you still want to stay with me?"

"That's for sure.

Even if the skin of your buns is wrinkled and the filling is as black as ink, I will still accompany you.

Didn’t I tell you before that I want you to be my secretary? I will be the boss of a bun shop in the future. If someone gets sick from eating buns like yours, I will have to pay for it. I have to take the responsibility.”

Jiang Lingsi pinched her cheek hard, and his teasing words successfully provoked the little girl to roll her eyes and retaliate with fierce teeth.

The atmosphere in the car was cheerful again.

With Jiang Lingsi's deliberate indulgence, Xi Ruan bit his collarbone, but the next second, from an angle that Jiang Lingsi could not see, her eyes half-covered by her long eyelashes dimmed and were covered with a thin layer of mist.

Jiang Xiaoshu is not easy to deceive.

Disappeared?

Oh, she doesn't care at all.

Thinking of what the housekeeper said to her this morning, Xi Ruan's eyes turned cold, but when Jiang Lingsi opened her head, her eyes flashed and she smiled again.
