In the middle of June, just after the summer, Jian Shiwu arrived at school and looked around the familiar corner to see an empty seat
When the students in the class saw him coming, they came up to him and asked.
"You've recovered from your illness?"
"We were all going to visit you."
"Have you heard, Ji Beichuan has transferred to another school."
He listened quietly for a while and finally asked softly after everyone had quieted down, "What about... the class representative?"
The students quieted down.
Lui Heng emerged from the back of the room, and he spoke to Jian Shiwu: "Yesterday, when you were home sick, someone came and packed up the class rep's things. I heard from the teacher that the Ji family is emigrating and the class rep is going to study in M country. Didn't he ...... tell you?"
Jian Shiwu froze in place.
For a moment he even felt that his hands and feet were cold, all kinds of things from yesterday were still close at hand, but yesterday when Shen Cheng came he actually had a feeling that something was wrong, but at that time he had not been able to come out of the emotions of his previous life, so he did not ask.
Reason told him that Shen Cheng was not the same Shen Cheng as in his previous life, but his emotions made him live in the memory of his previous life and he could not get out of it.
Lui Heng looked at Jian Shiwu's watch: "You bought a new watch?"
Jian Shiwu looked at it and explained, "I didn't buy it."
Lui Heng, who was the only one who knew better, gave a sour look, "So it's from the class rep? None of us got a present."
The watch was not branded, nor was it one of the models he was familiar with, but the quality of the exquisitely crafted men's watch was clearly not that of a cheap, ground-breaking item, and even a brand loving person like Lui Heng, could not tell which one it was.
Lui Heng scratched his chin: "I can't really tell, it's probably handmade, but how skilled would that be?"
Jian Shiwu was not sure either.
In fact, in his previous life, he didn't even know what Shen Cheng was doing to make his fortune and where he got the money, after all, Shen Cheng didn't acknowledge his relatives in his previous life, nor did he see him go out to do business, he had a study at home but never let him in, Shen Cheng was always very secretive about what he did.
But this is not the first time he received a gift from Shen Cheng. When he got married in the past, Shen Cheng gave him three gold jewellery to wear, each one not popular on the market, at that time he also said solemnly: "Do not take it off at will."
Lui Heng patted Jian Shiwu's shoulder: "Maybe it's some limited edition, the Ji family is so rich."
Jian Shiwu also had to nod in response.
There were two less people in the class, on the surface it did not seem to have any long-term impact. Nothing changed on the surface but it seems to be all changed.
In the third year of Junior school, because of Shen Cheng's absence, Jian Shiwu became much quieter.
Occasionally Lui Heng would drag him to read the business newspaper, on which there would be news about the Ji family, mostly about what success the Ji's had achieved again, rarely would there be news about the young master of the Ji family, only that his grades were excellent and the school he attended was a prestigious and aristocratic institution, but nothing more was known about his specific life.
Later, Jian Shiwu also tried to call once, and unsurprisingly did not get through, so he did not try again.
When he was first reborn, all he could think about was getting away from Shen Cheng, but when Shen Cheng really disappeared, he didn't feel the joy he thought he would feel.
The only thing that made him somewhat happy was that he had gotten into a good high school, and when he learned the news, Jian’s father even gave red packets to the whole company, and Zhen Meilie even set up a table to invite relatives to dinner:
"Jian Shiwu, is promising.
"I can't believe he’s the first middle school, fantastic kid."
"Has he lost weight?"
From the end of the third junior year, Jian Shiwu slowly slimmed down, he had deliberately losy weight, but also the body shed out by itself. The speed of slimming down is not fast, and the foundation itself is not bad. By the second year of high school, the shadow of the little fat boy slowly faded away, amd out came the kind of boy that will have girls have starry-eyed looks.
Lui Heng often lamented: "Man, you have changed in high school, if you could have been half as good as you are now, would you still have been afraid of not being able to chase the class rep?"
Jian would usually beat him up after hearing that.
As time passed, from the beginning when he would mention Shen Cheng every day, he would now only talk about him when he was in passing, but each time, LuiHeng found that Jian would pretend not to care, but would be silent for a long time afterwards.
At recess, Lui Heng said, "Come on, let's play ball."
Jian stood up and followed him, "You guys play today, I'm going to see how Kitten is doing, it rained yesterday and I don't know if she got wet."
Lui Heng walked down with the ball in his hand and spat: "You haven't known the nature of your cat since you picked it up at school a few days ago, it's like a human being, it can even run to the equipment room at night and sleep on a nest of dance clothes, you can still worry about it getting cold?"
The two were accompanied by a number of boys from the same class. Jian Shiwu is straightforward, usually generous to friends, speaks of righteousness, handsome, and gentle, so the popularity inside the class is very high, students love to hang out with him.
When they arrived at the playground, they saw from afar a shiny black Maibach on the side of the road, the body of the car was very expensive, the windows were closed to see the owner's appearance, but just by looking at the car's appearance they could tell that the owner's identity was definitely rich or noble.
Lui Heng exclaimed, "A limited edition, this is a great car!"
Other boys from better-off families also sighed. There was no boy who didn't love cars, and they rarely saw such a top-of-the-range luxury car.
"Whose car is it?"
"Is there someone at our school who is so rich?"
"Even the headmaster can't afford to drive it. It's an eight-figure car."
"A transfer student? My God."
They were concerned about the car, only Jian Shiwu took the dried fish he stole from home and went to the usual place to look for the cat, bowing and meowing for a while before the familiar little flower cat ran out from the bushes, the little cat was quite clean, except that its leg was limping, which was caused by man.
As Zhen Meilie was allergic to cat hair, Jian Shiwu did not dare to take it home, so he kept it here, ready to find a good home for it some time later.
"Meow..."
The little flower cat saw a familiar figure and immediately pounced on him, rubbing against his trouser leg and climbing on him.
Suddenly -
"Bang!"
The basketball being played in the playground veered off the track and hit the wire wall on this side, making a huge commotion as the crowd ran towards the area to pick up the ball, the noise of the commotion scared the little kitten who was eating, it struggled and jumped out of Jian’s arms, leaping onto the luxury car in one swoop.
Perhaps trying to escape, or too scared, the kitten's paws left some scratches on the front hood of the car, and cat paw prints with a little mark, very abrupt.
The people outside the car were dumbfounded, and so was the driver sitting in the car, he didn't expect the accident to be so sudden, the car was not his own after all, he could only turn his face to look at the teenager in the back seat: "Young master..."
The young man sitting against the window had a cold face, he was leaning lazily against the car window, seemingly looking out, but also seemingly just thinking, the handsome face was noble, a pair of dark, deep eyes seemed to have a detachment and indifference.
Jian Shiwu had come closer, as if to see if there was anyone in the car, and wanted to come over to apologise and discuss whether to pay for it.
The driver looked back and inquired, "Young master, do you want to open the door?"
"Don't bother." Shen Cheng raised his eyes and looked out of the car window as if he was looking at a stranger: "Let him go."
Next to Shen Cheng sat a young blond foreigner, strong and fit, looking sunny, he hooked his eyes towards the outside looking beyond Shen Cheng at Jian Shiwu: "This is the best looking person I've seen since I came to China, omg, Shen, this is my kind of guy, why don't you let me get out of the car and talk to him?"
Shen Cheng gave him a cool look, with a bit of dangerous murderous aura.
The little brother's words choked in his throat, feeling a bit wrong, pouting his lips, and between life and the beauty, he chose to sit honestly.
Outside, Jian gave up after half a day of calculating, guessing that there was no one in the car.
Lui Heng came over and saw the car, he took a deep brath: "This cat, so fierce, really know how to pick a car, ah, this time brother you beware, you can pay for it."
Jian Shiwu was also very worried and simply left a note on the hood of the car, hoping that the owner would see it when he returned.
They wiped the mud and dust off the hood of the car. Seeing as they didn't know where the cat had gone and it wasn't easy to find it, they simply went back to the playground to prepare for a change of court to play basketball.
Because it was recess, there were quite a few people from other classes coming around, and this also included a very large number of girls, these girls came not to play ball of course, but to squat, most of them had one goal, and that was the boy in the middle of the group who seemed to bring his own light, always smiling at people, so cute that their hearts could melt.
Today, too, was the day when a certain girl wanted to come and try it out.
Jian Shiwu had just taken off his school uniform jacket under the tree when a girl with short hair stood behind him apprehensively, the girl's face was scarlet and her eyes were tinged with shyness: "Senior, hello, I ......"
The midday sun fell, and the man and woman under the tree were surprisingly well-matched and harmonious.
The man in the luxury car not far away caught all this in his eyes, and the young man who had just been cold as ice narrowed his eyes slightly, and the aura around him was obviously a bit unpleasant. Half a minute later, when he saw the girl trying to pounce on Jian Shiwu, Shen Cheng spoke up, "Uncle Wang."
The driver was suddenly named, "Young master."
Shen Cheng said, "Go and get him."
Uncle Wang:?
The corners of Shen Cheng's mouth curled into a cold smile, "To discuss the claim settlement."
