MTL - After Two Lifetimes I Was Reborn Back Inside A Book-Chapter 35 wear back thirty-fifth day
When school was over, Jiang Chen received a call from He Qianmin.
He said with a little disappointment that something happened at home, and he couldn't come to No. 1 Middle School today to find him. The dissatisfaction in his tone was obvious, and he was obviously not happy that the family affairs delayed his original plan.
Jiang Chen didn't ask him what happened, he just said a few words to comfort him, waited for his temper to be suppressed, and made an appointment for another time before hanging up the phone amidst his whimpering reluctance.
Huo Bo was walking beside him, seeing the smile in his eyes, he turned his head to look at Shen Xu, and asked silently, "Who is this?"
Shen Xu replied directly: "His brother."
"Yang Shengmao?" Huo Bo blurted out, in his memory, Jiang Chen was just such a younger brother, but he also remembered that Jiang Chen didn't like this younger brother very much.
"No." Shen Xu said: "A kid, it has nothing to do with Jiang Zi, I always call him brother."
Seeing that Jiang Chen had hung up the phone, Huo Bo asked, "When did you have an extra brother?"
Jiang Chen said with a smile: "It's been a long time ago, when he comes to No. 1 Middle School, I'll let you meet."
Hearing this, Huo Bo's eyes became even more astonished. Jiang Chen seemed alienated but was actually very talkative, but being easy to talk didn't mean being close. He knew Jiang Chen very well. If Jiang Chen didn't really treat him as his younger brother, he would never acquiesce to Shen Xu. The explanation of the identity of the person on the other end of the phone has a set of old-fashioned and serious logic in Jiang Chen's thinking. For example, the address may be just a casual call to others, but to Jiang Chen, any name he recognizes , all represent a kind of responsibility.
Huo Bo was surprised from the bottom of his heart. He was very curious about the reason why Jiang Chen had a younger brother after he left for half a year, but he didn't ask any more questions, he just waited to see someone.
However, Huo Bo didn't expect that he would meet someone after school the next day.
Under the big tree at the gate of Yanyi Middle School, He Qianmin was wearing the school uniform of Chenghua Junior High School, and was talking to a boy wearing the school uniform of Yan Yi Middle School with a cold face. Come seems to be ready to do it.
Shen Xu glanced over there, recognized He Qianmin at a glance, grabbed Jiang Chen and said, "Jiang Zi, that's your brother!"
Jiang Chen was talking to Huo Bo. Hearing this, he raised his eyes and saw He Qianmin. He Qianmin stopped after hearing Shen Xu's voice. The boy next to him also glanced this way, then turned around. leave.
"Brother." He Qianmin walked in front of Jiang Chen in three steps at a time. After nodding to Shen Xu, he glanced at Huo Bo on the side.
"This is Huo Bo." Jiang Chen hooked Huo Bo's neck, and introduced to He Qianmin: "My friend who grew up with me, you can also call him brother."
He Qianmin pursed his lips, obviously unwilling, but Jiang Chen looked at him, and still reluctantly called out: "Brother Huo."
Shen Xu was also reluctant: "When I met He Xiaomin before, why didn't you let him call me Brother! Why did you just call him Brother Huo Bo!"
He Qianmin rolled his eyes at him and didn't speak, but the word "dream" was clearly written on his face.
Shen Xu let out a hey, pointed at He Qianmin and said, "Jiang Zi, look at your brother, he actually despises me!"
Jiang Chen had a smile on his lips, as if he didn't hear what Shen Xu said, he walked up to He Qianmin and said, "You guys go back first, I'll take him to dinner."
He Qianmin raised an eyebrow at Shen Xu proudly.
Shen Xu got between the two of them, raised his eyebrows in He Qianmin's staring eyes, and said with a smile: "What are you going to eat, I'm going too, and it's the first time Huo Bo came back to meet younger brother He, let's eat together A meal is not too much."
He Qianmin was dissatisfied: "Don't always call me nicknames."
"Unhappy? He Xiaomin? Min Min?" Shen Xu yelled to amused himself, covered his stomach and laughed, "Minmin, how cute! My brother will call you Minmin from now on."
He Qianmin's face was sullen, with a cold light in his eyes, Shen Xu hid behind Jiang Chen, and said confidently: "If you call me brother, brother will stop calling you Minmin, come on, call brother."
"Okay." Seeing He Qianmin's face getting darker and darker, Jiang Chen pulled out Shen Xu and nudged him lightly: "Don't bully him."
"How did I bully him!" Shen Xu was extremely wronged, and complained aggrievedly: "He has been bullying me, okay? I didn't say Jiang Zi. Since you have a younger brother, you have been so partial to the sky! Fortunately, Xiao He Min is not a woman, I can hardly imagine if he becomes your sister!"
Huo Bo withdrew his secret scrutiny, and said casually after hearing the words: "How hard to imagine?"
"My younger brother is like this, my younger sister can't be spoiled by heaven." Shen Xu said with a chuckle, and said: "But if it's Jiang Zi's younger sister, then I can't help it. Who told me that I don't have a younger sister? Jiang Zi's younger sister is my younger sister. Doesn't my younger sister just dote on me more?"
The corner of Huo Bo's mouth twitched, he turned to Jiang Chen and said, "If you have something to do, go first, Shen Xu and I will go back by ourselves."
Jiang Chen pondered for a moment, and asked for He Qianmin's opinion: "How about the four of us having dinner together?"
He Qianmin looked at Huo Bo, then at Shen Xu, and nodded: "I want to eat hot pot."
"It's so hot—" Shen Xu met He Qianmin's eyes and turned a corner: "It's time to eat hot pot."
The four of them entered the hot pot restaurant they went to last time. This is the place where the three of Jiang Chen have eaten frequently since junior high school. I can feel this kind of tacit understanding that seems to be born in a magnetic field without much to say. Now I see the three of them ordering food. Although their words and actions are very ordinary, they seem to have an aura that excludes others. .
He Qianmin swallowed the words again. He pursed his lips slightly, lowered his eyelashes, and suppressed the sudden loss in his heart.
I don't know why, but he always feels that he should be the person who has the closest and most tacit understanding with Jiang Chen, but the reality is that no one here rejects him, but he is invisible rejected in this kind of relationship that has been with Jiang Chen for many years. The tacit understanding formed is beyond.
Shen Xu was the first to notice He Qianmin's abnormality. He paused the hand that was scratching the menu, and called Jiang Chen in a low voice.
Jiang Chen was talking to Huo Bo in a low voice. Shen Xu usually orders food. He is very familiar with his and Huo Bo's tastes. Occasionally, when he encounters a new dish and is not sure whether he wants to eat it, he will hesitate to ask them. , so hearing his voice, Jiang Chen subconsciously thought that he was struggling with which new dish, and Huo Bo was the same.
The two spoke almost simultaneously:
"point."
"Order if you want to eat."
Shen Xu clicked his tongue and tilted his chin slightly to one side, motioning him to look at He Qianmin.
Jiang Chen turned his head puzzled, and He Qianmin hung his head, not knowing what he was thinking. He froze for a moment, and then remembered that he was only talking to Huo Bo just now, and didn't have time to ask him what he wanted to eat: "Qian Min, what do you want to eat?"
He Qianmin raised his eyes, glanced at him, then lowered his eyes, and said casually, "It's all right."
Jiang Chen didn't think about it, he looked away and said to Shen Xu: "Order more beef, see if there is any sweet and sour crispy meat today, and order one too."
"Okay." Shen Xu beckoned to the waiter, and after ordering the crispy meat, seeing Jiang Chen continuing to talk to Huo Bo again, he sighed in his heart, got up and handed the menu to He Qianmin: "Look, there are other things besides these. Want to eat something."
He Qianmin scanned casually, and was a little surprised to find that he had ordered all the dishes he liked, and handed the menu back: "That's enough."
Shen Xu nodded, handed the menu to the waiter, turned around and saw that He Qianmin was still looking sullen, and had nothing to say: "Well...you are in the third year of junior high school, and you are about to take the high school entrance examination. Are you under a lot of pressure?"
Facing such an official and polite topic, He Qianmin didn't react much, and just said lightly: "It's okay."
Shen Xu laughed dryly, "Hahaha indeed, you are seventh in grade, and you can go straight up in Chenghua, so there is really no pressure."
He Qianmin was silent for a few seconds, and then said in a slightly lower voice: "I'm not going to read Chenghua."
"Don't read Chenghua?" Shen Xu was a little surprised, "Then where did you go in high school?"
He Qianmin glanced at Jiang Chen who was still talking, pursed his lips, and said, "I haven't thought about it."
But Shen Xu became interested, and said enthusiastically: "I heard from Li Xiao before that your family doesn't seem to be allowed to go abroad. It seems that it is really meaningless not to go abroad to study Chenghua. You have been in a private school. You can try a public one. Our Yanyi Middle School It’s not bad, and you can go to the same school as your brother, how about it?”
After Jiang Chen and Huo Bo finished talking, they happened to hear Shen Xu's words. He thought for a moment, looked at He Qianmin, and said seriously: "Shen Xu is right, if you don't want to continue in Chenghua, come to Yanyi Middle School in high school. .”
He Qianmin didn't speak, and Shen Xu said: "Come to No. 1 Middle School. When the time comes, the brothers will cover you. With your brother Jiang Chen here, you don't have to worry about studying. There are me and your brother Huo. I will take you to eat and play with you. Brother Huo asked you to walk sideways in the middle."
He Qianmin quietly glanced at Jiang Chen whose gaze fell on him, then looked away and said, "Do you want me to come to No. 1 Middle School?"
Jiang Chen: "Hope."
The corners of He Qianmin's mouth slightly raised, and he quickly suppressed it, slightly raised his chin and said, "Then I'll come to Yanyi Middle School."
"Okay, when the time comes, my brothers will take you to play, and..." Halfway through the conversation, the waiter brought up the bottom of the pot, Shen Xu got up and said, "I'll make the sauce, what do you want to put, I'll make it for you."
"Coriander, garlic paste, sesame oil and hot sauce."
Shen Xu glanced at Jiang Chen, then at He Qianmin, stroked his chin and said, "As expected of Brother Jiang Zi, the taste of the sauce is the same, let me go—"
"Change to another." Jiang Chen interrupted him: "Your wound hasn't healed yet."
He Qianmin was stunned for a moment, and Shen Xu remembered that he still had gauze in his hand. He was afraid that the child would be greedy and refused, so before he could speak, he said, "Then I'll make you a non-spicy one. I believe my brother's skill in making sauces." , give you delicious food."
He Qianmin pursed his lips: "I want spicy food."
Hearing this, Jiang Chen noticed that He Qianmin's mood had not been high all this time. He glanced at his left hand, which was lightly grasping the injured right hand, and guessed, "What's the matter? The hand is still uncomfortable? Is there something else that makes you unhappy?"
He Qianmin's eyelashes twitched slightly, pressed the corner of his mouth that was about to rise, and shook his head: "No."
Jiang Chen: "Because of what happened at your home yesterday?"
He Qianmin pursed his lips: "No, it's none of my business, why not be unhappy."
Shen Xu came over with a light sauce dish, just heard this sentence, and asked curiously: "Why are you unhappy?"
The corner of He Qianmin's mouth twitched, he looked at Jiang Chen and then at the bowl in front of him, after a while, he said, "It's nothing."
Jiang Chen was thoughtful, Huo Bo glanced at He Qianmin, and said to Jiang Chen while ordering the food: "You make up lessons on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday nights, and you have to help me make up lessons on February, Thursday, and Saturday, will it be too much?"
"No." Jiang Chen withdrew his gaze and looked at Huo Bo: "Helping you make up lessons is also a review, and..."
"Brother." He Qianmin suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two, and when Jiang Chen looked over, he said, "He Qianjian's right hand was interrupted."
His words were thoughtless, it could be said that they came out of the blue, but Jiang Chen was not surprised at all, and calmly answered, "What do you think?"
He Qianmin curled up his left hand on his right hand, pinched the protruding bandage, lowered his eyes and said, "If I say it's retribution, do you think I lack compassion and take pleasure in other's misfortunes?"
Before Jiang Chen could speak, Huo Bo suddenly said, "Did he hurt your hand?"
