Withered Broken Ice Blue

Jiang Huaixu held Chi Feiwan's hand and took her to the restaurant. Whenever Jiang Qingying was there, he would hold Chi Feiwan's hand.

Chi Feiwan didn't understand Jiang Huaixu's actions, and just when Jiang Huaixu took her hand again, she dodged.

When Yu Zhilan saw this scene, a hint of complexity flashed across her eyes.

*

During meal time, the Jiang family would sit around the long table and eat without talking or speaking.

The seating arrangements in the Jiang family are very particular. In the center is definitely the highly respected old man Jiang, and to the left and right of old man Jiang are Grandma Jiang and Jiang Huaixu's father Jiang Daiyue, and next to Jiang Daiyue is Yu Zhilan.

The eldest son always sits in the seat closest to Grandpa Jiang.

As the future helmsman of the Jiang family, Jiang Huaixu's position is next to Grandma Jiang.

Chi Feiwan was arranged to sit opposite Yu Zhilan, next to Jiang Nanmo.

Then came Jiang Huaixu's two uncles and aunt, and at the end was Jiang Huaixu's third uncle's youngest daughter, who was only three years old.

This time, Mr. Jiang broke the rules. He didn't pick up his chopsticks, and the rest of the Jiang family didn't dare to pick up their chopsticks either.

Mr. Jiang looked at Chi Feiwan kindly, and the more he looked at her, the more satisfied he became. "Wanwan, are you used to studying in Beijing?"

Chi Feiwan, who had been mentally prepared, nodded obediently.

"If you need anything in the future, just ask Xu Xu. Our Jiang family will do our best." Old Master Jiang did not give Chi Feiwan a chance to refuse, and said, "Use your chopsticks."

The Jiang family has always had very strict table manners. As long as the head of the family gives an order, all the Jiang family members at the table will eat quietly and as quickly as possible.

Although the Chi family is also a century-old family, they do not have complicated table etiquette. Chi Feiwan is not used to it but respects it.

Although the dining table seems peaceful, everyone is actually harboring their own ulterior motives.

Everyone's eyes glanced at Chi Feiwan intentionally or unintentionally.

I know exactly what Mr. Jiang meant by what he said just now.

There are ripe fruits on the table, but the young fruits are being eaten secretly, and even blocked from the sunlight, forcing them to grow slowly, leaving them vulnerable to being slaughtered among the fruits of the same period.

........................

As night falls, the sky gradually turns inky black, and the stars twinkle faintly in the darkness.

At Jiang Nanmo's strong plea, Chi Feiwan slept with her.

The two of them hid in the quilt, and a little light seeped into the dark space.

Jiang Nanmo propped up the quilt with both hands to allow air to circulate.

"Sister Fei Wan, will your third brother come to Beijing to study?" Jiang Nanmo's voice was low, but it was enough in the quiet bedroom.

Chi Feiwan shook his head, "I don't know."

Everything at home is arranged by grandfather. However, even if grandfather calls Chi Yizi to study in Beijing, her mother probably won't agree.

Bed is the perfect place to chat.

Jiang Nanmo became curious and had a lot of questions waiting for Chi Feiwan.

"Sister Fei Wan, what kind of person is your second brother?"

Chi Feiwan’s second brother is the same age as Jiang Nanmo.

Even though they are far apart, the Internet can bring people from all over the world closer together.

On the Internet and in class, Jiang Nanmo often heard countless stories about the second young master of the Chi family in Haicheng.

Chi Feiwan's beautiful blue eyes would become dim whenever her family was mentioned.

Apart from his grandmother, Chi Feiwan didn't have much contact with his family members.

At least for now, it seems that her second brother is treating her well.

"A very good person." Chi Feiwan replied.

"What about your elder brother?" Jiang Nanmo asked again.

"I have never met my eldest brother, so I don't know."

"What about your third brother?"

"Not very good." Chi Feiwan blurted out without any hesitation.

Jiang Nanmo couldn't help but burst out laughing, "I wouldn't find it so funny if you hesitated for even a second."

Jiang Nanmo leaned towards Chi Feiwan and said, "I don't like my elder brother."

It was Jiang Qingying, the eldest son of her second uncle.

"why?"

Jiangnan Mo put his head on Chi Feiwan's smooth hair, "To be precise, it's not that I don't like it, but I'm afraid of it."

When Jiang Nanmo was five years old, he took in a stray cat. When he first saw the kitten, it was in a wooden box, trembling. It had black and white fur and was extremely thin. It looked at everything around it with a pair of fearful eyes.

Jiang Nanmo covered the kitten with his thick cotton coat worth five figures and brought it home.

The Jiang family is usually calm and quiet, and not many people in the family have pets.

So the Jiang family used the kitten to pass the time.

The kitten was raised for three months, but then it got lost.

He announced to the public that he was lost, but only Jiang Nanmo knew that Jiang Qingying lost him on purpose.

That day Jiang Nanmo clearly saw that his eldest brother, who was only seven years old, locked the kitten in an iron cage and gave it to another person.

As the truck drove away, Jiang Nanmo was also discovered by Jiang Qingying.

There was a slight smile on his face, but his eyes were flashing with madness, as if a hungry wolf was staring at its prey, which was chilling.

On that day, Jiang Qingying also said something to Jiang Nanmo, which she remembered very clearly.

Sister, this cat scratched me. Actually, I like small animals very much, but your cat doesn’t like me, so I helped him get rid of it.

He put his finger on his lips and said, "Sister, please don't tell the adults. Just keep it as a secret between us. We don't need too many people to know the secret."

If Yu Zhilan hadn't taken Jiang Nanmo away, she wouldn't have dared to imagine Jiang Qingying's subsequent madness.

From that day on, Jiang Nanmo deliberately avoided Jiang Qingying and never brought any small animals home again.

After hearing this, Chi Feiwan was so shocked that half of his sleepiness disappeared.

"So you were alone with my eldest brother today. Did he bully you?"

Chi Feiwan shook his head.

Jiang Nanmo breathed a sigh of relief and continued chatting with Chi Feiwan.

As they chatted, the two fell asleep.

The bedroom was pitch black. Chi Feiwan had a light sleep and felt that her surroundings were completely plunged into darkness. She hugged Jiang Nanmo's arms tightly and curled up subconsciously.

The next day.

Chi Feiwan and Jiang Huaixu got on the car together. She was holding a sandwich in her hand and there was a bottle of pure milk on the right side of her schoolbag.

The buildings and natural scenery along the way flashed by.

Chi Feiwan took a bite of the sandwich and heard Jiang Huaixu's cold childish voice: "What did you say to my eldest brother yesterday?"

Chi Feiwan raised his head and glanced at him, then pursed his lips and said, "Nothing."

"Stay away from my big brother from now on."

"Oh."

Chi Feiwan thought of what Jiang Nanmo told him last night, and couldn't help but wonder if Jiang Huaixu knew about this?

Is he afraid of Jiang Qingying or does he hate her?

Jiang Huaixu was a little surprised. Usually Chi Feiwan would ask for the reason, but this time he actually agreed? !

He looked at Chi Feiwan, the wind blowing in from the car window blew on his face, bringing a hint of coolness, "Are you..."

"What?" Chi Feiwan interrupted him, showing a harmless face.

Jiang Huaixu turned his head away, and the car window was rolled up by him. "Just pretend I didn't say anything. You still have to come back to my house this afternoon."

"No."

"Give me a reason."

"Jiang Huaixu, I have a home in Beijing, and I don't want to live under someone else's roof." And she didn't like the way the Jiang family looked at her.

Jiang Huaixu was so angry that he laughed, "Whatever you want."

*

Unexpectedly, she and Jiang Huaixu got off the bus together and entered the classroom together, but there was no whispering among classmates, but only intriguing looks.

But this is exactly what Chi Feiwan wanted.

It was rare for her to smile.

The second-grade course was too simple, and the students in the class just started chatting halfway through the lecture.

The sound was neither loud nor soft, and the teacher did not stop it.

International schools have English courses in the second grade.

Most of the children in international schools have lived abroad or have inherited it from their family, so they can speak simple English fluently.

Compared with other classes, the atmosphere in English class is much happier.

Questions came one after another, and the students below raised their hands, eager to try.

Chi Feiwan was busy taking notes, and his immature handwriting did not look good.

She glanced at Jiang Huaixu's book. He had traced over and over again some words in the English book with a pencil. The originally thin English font had been made much bolder.

"What are you looking at?"

Chi Feiwan just took a glance and was noticed by Jiang Huaixu.

"Your English book." After saying that, Chi Feiwan buried his head in taking notes.

Jiang Huaixu smiled softly, his fingers twirling the pen lightly, "I could write the English words and knowledge points in the book when I was five years old. They are too simple and a bit boring."

If you can't sleep in class, you can only find something to pass the time.

Chi Feiwan just said "Oh" faintly.

Jiang Huaixu closed Chi Feiwan's notebook and said, "No need to remember. If you don't know, you can ask me."

"No need." Chi Feiwan opened the notebook again.

In this way, the two of them opened and closed their mouths in the classroom, arguing over a notebook.

Jiang Huaixu made me listen like this, and I didn’t even listen like this in English class.

Perhaps feeling guilty, Jiang Huaixu tutored her in English privately.

A seven-year-old child speaks fluent English and can master words, sentences and grammar at will.

Two years passed in a blink of an eye. Jiang Huaixu had grown a lot taller, but Chi Feiwan's height had not changed much.

The sports meet was scheduled for October of last semester, and Chi Feiwan and Jiang Huaixu did not have any events.

During the sports meet that day, senior students could move freely, while junior students had to move within the designated area.

Chi Feiwan, who had no projects, secretly went to the library to read.

During the sports meeting, there was no one in the library. The sun shone through the windows of the library, shining on the quiet reading area, illuminating a warm atmosphere. The only sounds in the entire library were the rustling of books and occasional footsteps, as if time had become slow and quiet at this moment.

The library of the international school is very luxurious and has three floors.

Chi Feiwan was hiding in a corner on the first floor reading a book. There were several books piled together around him, and a stool was blocking the exit.

Fourth-grade students can come to the library to read and borrow books. Since entering the fourth grade, Chi Feiwan has been hanging out in the library almost every day after class.

Chi Feiwan flipped through the book "Peaceful Times Are Only a Moment, Chaos Is Everyday Life".

When he encountered words he didn't know, he would skip them. Since he had read so many books, there were very few words that he didn't know.

The content of the book is always fascinating, and Chi Feiwan didn’t even notice someone came in.

The book in his hand was lifted up, and Chi Feiwan followed the line of sight and saw that it was the preface by Jiang Huai.

"Give it back to me!" Chi Feiwan stood up and tried to snatch the book from Jiang Huaixu's hand.

There is no difference in height between them, but his hands are longer than hers.

"During the sports meeting, you went to the library to read books. Chi Feiwan, you were the first one." Jiang Huaixu put one hand in his pocket and raised the other hand high.

"I'd love to." Chi Feiwan raised his feet high, but could only touch Jiang Huaixu's arm.

Chi Feiwan was so angry that he stepped on Jiang Huaixu's shoes. Jiang Huaixu felt pain and bent his arms. Chi Feiwan then took the book back.

The sunlight outside the window poured in, painting the library golden. The figures of the two were also reflected on the ground, forming a unique picture in the huge library.
