why do you like me

Chapter 8 Good Night 008

008 good night

Facing Cheng Jing's eyes, Jiang Chuan felt his scalp tighten.But he has always been used to waves, so there is no reason to panic suddenly. He sat calmly, raised his chopsticks and said, "You are here too. Do you want some wontons? There are still a few left."

Cheng Jing looked at him, "Have you been lying to me since the day you came out?"

What this said... At least all the feelings about psychological fear are real, but Jiang Chuan didn't surrender to it.It's quite difficult to admit that I've lied to someone, especially when Cheng Jing still has that expression.

Just as Jiang Chuan said "no", Cheng Jing suddenly approached.He picked up Jiang Chuan's schoolbag and took out all the contents.There are very few things, just a safety driving manual and a few test papers.

Cheng Jing unfolded the test paper, her eyes darkened: "You didn't do the questions."

Why do I even fucking want to go to school?Jiang Chuan looked at Cheng Jing, and gradually felt a little guilty, after all, he took the initiative to say that he could solve the problem.

He is used to not having conflict-provoking quarrels with those around him.Jin Min is too soft and kind, so Jiang Chuan teases her from time to time.Jiang Xing had a stubborn temper, so Jiang Chuan tried his best to go along with it.These days, he has unconsciously regarded Cheng Jing as a member of the family, and now that kind of temper to please his own people came up automatically, Jiang Chuan said: "I plan to do it tomorrow. Check out the information."

Cheng Jing glanced at the computer, the game interface on the screen was not closed yet.

Jiang Chuan: "..."

Cheng Jing's eyes fell on Jiang Chuan again, "Do it now, I'll see when it's done."

Nan Xichi was about to interject, but before he opened his mouth, Cheng Jing said to him: "I'm in the box next door, if you want to play games, go there, I'll watch Jiang Chuan finish the test paper. "

His voice has always been flat, with a sense of proportion that does not disturb people, but at the moment it seems too deep, full of suppressed anger and an uncompromising command tone.Nan Xichi felt uncomfortable for no reason, and was about to say something when Jiang Chuan stood up.

"Come on, Chizi will leave the car in the middle of the night, let him take a nap here, and I'll go there with you."

Except in front of Jin Min and Jiang Xing, Nan Xichi had never seen Jiang Chuan be so cowardly before, so he raised his eyebrows immediately, and his heart was clear.

Jiang Chuan finished eating the wontons in a hurry, picked up his schoolbag and left.When Lu Chengjing was beside him, he didn't seem to notice that the other party was angry, so he put his arms around his shoulders and dragged him out, into the next room.

The sound insulation effect of the box is very poor, but the sound before Jiangchuan and Nanxichi is not high.After entering Jiangchuan, he found that the wall fan of this box had been removed, and there were two holes in the middle, so he could see the situation next door.

Jiang Chuan: "..."

Several books were spread out on the table, all of which belonged to Cheng Jing.Jiang Chuan sat down on the opposite side, pulled the test paper from Cheng Jing's hand, then stretched his arms and took out a pen from Cheng Jing's pencil case, and raised his head obediently: "I'll do it now, is that okay? "

He flipped through the test papers and picked out a math one, but Cheng Jing suddenly said, "Do English first."

Jiang Chuan was instantly discouraged: "Please forgive me..."

Cheng Jing sat back in her seat and faced Jiang Chuan.He leaned against the back of the chair expressionlessly, probably because he was really upset, raised his legs and put them on the table, looked at Jiang Chuan like a young master, and emphasized again: "English."

Jiang Chuan's English has always been poor. He scratched his hair, knowing that Cheng Jing did it on purpose, so he resignedly took out the English test paper and started to do it.

Cheng Jing is even more ruthless.

He took out his mobile phone and played the English audio, and said, "Listening is also needed."

Jiang Chuan: "..."

Jiang Chuan was doing the test paper in pain, and when he was about to finish, Cheng Jing answered the phone.He knew from his answer that it was Jin Min who called, asking when the two of them would go back and what they had for dinner.Cheng Jing said calmly, "Jiang Chuan just ate a bowl of wontons and is about to finish his English test paper. I'll go back after correcting him."

Everything he said was true, but Jin Min mistakenly thought that he and Jiang Chuan had been together all day, and Jiang Chuan had also done the test papers for a day, and he and Jiang Chuan both ate wontons.

After Jiang Chuan finished the last sentence of the translation, the tip of his pen stopped, and he looked up at Cheng Jing with a smile.This is the highest state of lying, I am much inferior.

After finally breaking through all the questions, Jiang Chuan slapped the test paper in front of Cheng Jing.The previous unsightly posture had long since disappeared, and Cheng Jing was reading a book quietly.Jiang Chuan's actions were rude. He frowned imperceptibly, took out a red carbon pen from his pencil case, and asked while reading the test paper, "What have you been doing these days?"

Anyway, the driving school had already signed up, and Jiang Chuan had no worries at all, so he spoke out frankly.Cheng Jing felt strange: "Why do you have to take this test now, isn't it possible after the college entrance examination?"

Jiang Chuan smiled with the corners of his eyes hanging, "Honey, I didn't take the driver's license test because I want to go out and be cool, I want to make money."

Cheng Jing still didn't understand, "You can work after school, discuss it with Aunt Jin, she will understand you."

Jiang Chuan felt that the words "Why don't you eat minced meat" were written on Cheng Jing's face, and sighed: "Master, you may not know that the hourly wage is only [-] yuan, and the day of handing out flyers is only [-] yuan. I am exhausted." Do you think it's worth it to live for a month and only get a few hundred?"

Cheng Jing was silent for a while, "Then do you think it's worth giving up school?"

Two people with completely different backgrounds have brain circuits on this issue that also turn in different directions.Cheng Jing said: "I know that Aunt Jin's income is not high, and Jiang Xing has to spend a lot of money. But Aunt Jin affords you to be admitted to university, so there is no problem. After you are admitted to university, you can definitely go to college on your own. Find a way to work and pay tuition.”

"You have planned very well." Jiang Chuan looked at Cheng Jing, "Then do you think where I go to university, what major I study, and what kind of job I will find after graduation will not only allow me to support my mother and Jiang Xing, but also help me I can come back at any time when they have something to do?"

Jiang Chuan was rarely so serious, "Let's just talk about the nearest Z University. Although it is not ranked, it is 211. But its best major is not very useful if you don't go to graduate school. Do you think my family's Will the situation wait until I finish graduate school, and then I can get ahead after a few more years?

"Our family needs money, more than you know. If it wasn't for the money, my mother should be able to take care of Jiang Xing all day long. If it wasn't for the money, Jiang Xing's illness wouldn't have dragged on until now. What's the situation. If... I not only need money, but also time. When my mother and Jiang Xing need someone, I can appear by their side as soon as possible. "

Cheng Jing was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect Jiang Chuan to say so much.

Jiang Chuan continued: "I know what you want to say. It's a pity not to go to college. You should find a high-paying job based on your education. May I ask Master Cheng, you know my background, if you don't spend time to go to graduate school, you can get a job." What kind of job do you have to do with a bachelor's degree to have a lot of time and a lot of money?

"I can choose, either to commit a crime and go home and hide for a while. Or do a handicraft job with a good income near Xitangkou. If there is any situation at home, I can come back immediately."

He dug out a financial magazine in English from the pile of books in front of Cheng Jing, and said: "You people with bright and bright futures, don't think that we are not worthy if we don't go to school or climb up. When flying, we gritted our teeth and swallowed blood while running and crawling."

The thread in his heart that he least wanted to be touched by others was pulled by Jiang Chuan.Regarding life planning, I had already made a decision when I was 15 years old.It's just that he didn't expect to meet someone like Cheng Jing, who could tell by his manner and clothes that he had a good upbringing.There is also that kind of gentleman's meanness and politeness, which makes people want to beat him up for no reason.

Jiang Chuan never told anyone about this.At this moment, he poured it out all at once, and he himself was a little surprised.He didn't trust Cheng Jing to such an extent.

Cheng Jing looked at him slightly in shock, but did not go further on this topic after all.He corrected Jiang Chuan's test paper and said, "I will take another English test paper when I go to school the day after tomorrow. There is not much overlap in the knowledge points of the two. I will make statistics and then..."

Across the table, Jiang Chuan bent over and approached: "Didn't you hear what I just said, it doesn't matter to me whether I go to school or not!"

Cheng Jing raised her head, her eyes were dark but bright.Jiang Chuan had the illusion that Cheng Jing was looking at the scar on his eye intently, and there was a layer of softness under his calm gaze.

Cheng Jing said: "If you procrastinate like this, your mother will know that you are lying to her one day."

Jiang Chuan: "It's a day to lie to each other."

Cheng Jing looked away, and slowly stroked the creases on the corners of the test paper, "How much money can I make by driving?"

"Almost ten thousand a month." Jiang Chuan looked at Cheng Jing's movements, as if he had just realized that the boy's fingers were long and clean.

Cheng Jing paused, "Jiang Chuan, if you insist on keeping it from your mother...you have to do it more seamlessly."

Jiang Chuan was slightly taken aback, "What do you mean?"

Cheng Jing: "It means that I will help you."

After correcting the test paper, the two of them packed up their things and went back.Jiang Chuan went to the next door to take a look. Nan Xichi was still playing games bored.He had an expression of abandonment on his face: "I have been out of the car for three days this time, brother, you just left me so ruthlessly."

Jiang Chuan didn't feel guilty: "I will abandon you countless times in the future, you have to get used to it, bye."

When Jiang Chuan and Cheng Jing returned home, Jin Min was tidying up the living room, and several glass teacups on the table were broken.Jiang Chuan hurried over: "Mom, I'll come."

Jin Min blushed and was out of breath, and a little sad.After returning from Jiang Li's place at night, Jiang Xing suddenly had a headache, and couldn't wait for Jin Min to take the medicine, so he bumped his head on the table.Not crazy, but just plain painful.

At this moment, Jiang Xing had already taken the medicine and fell asleep.Looking at the busy Jiang Chuan, Jin Min said hoarsely, "You guys ate wontons at night? You must be hungry now. I brought some bean paste cakes from your aunt Jiang."

Jiang Chuan cleaned up the glass shards and sighed, "Don't take Xingzi outside too late in the future."

Jin Min also had some regrets, "It's not too late today, maybe Xingzi hasn't gone out to play for a long time, so I'm a little excited."

Cheng Jing took the bean paste cake that Jin Min handed over, and said thank you softly.He turned to leave, but Jiang Chuan said, "Wait a minute, I'll see you off, and take out the trash by the way."

There was a garbage room next to the small bridge not far away. Jiang Chuan threw garbage bags in through the small window, and then sent Cheng Jing back.

He knew where Cheng Jing lived, but he had never been there.At this moment, he sighed, with a smile or annoyed expression, he said: "Jiang Xing, you have encountered this situation before. Master, do you understand what I mean now? My family is short of money, and I am short of time." .It is not a problem for you rich people to hire a few nannies, but we...don't have so many choices."

Cheng Jing lived not far away, just at the corner of this street, where the river behind the house merged into another river, the sound of the water pump brought out a stream of flowing water, and the night was extremely quiet.

Cheng Jing was carrying the bean paste cake, but did not touch the key.He looked at Jiang Chuan with mixed emotions in his eyes: "I know your difficulties, but I don't quite understand your decision. For Aunt Jin, you are more happy than anything else..."

"Stop!" Jiang Chuan raised his hand and made a gesture to stop in the traffic rules, "I hope you, Master Cheng, can understand that our "promising" and your "promising" are two different concepts. We "Promising" in the eyes of these people, in the end they only look at one point - how much money they have."

Cheng Jing looked at Jiang Chuan with a serious expression.Children of their age rarely have such realistic ideas.It is not easy to still have blood and hope after seeing everything thoroughly.He suddenly felt a little bit reluctant, reluctant to let Jiang Chuan, who looked cold and serious at the moment, be ground into an "ordinary person" after many years—even though Jiang Chuan felt that he was an ordinary person.

But some things are different.

"Okay, I understand. But you can't make a lot of money right now. It takes time to learn to drive, and you need a lot of money to buy a car yourself." Cheng Jing said, "From now on, you listen to my arrangement. Think If you want to get a driver's license smoothly, you have to make up the courses first. You do what I say, and you can pass the final exam."

Jiang Chuan looked at him, "And then?"

Cheng Jing couldn't take her eyes off, "One step at a time."

The night was extremely quiet, surrounded by gurgling water and the chirping of insects, as if there were fireflies flying by.Jiang Chuan reached out and patted the boy's cheek lightly, and said with a smile, "Good night, baby."
