Chapter 59  : The strange atmosphere in the car

the lights in the car were on, and jiang che, who had trapped shi yan, lowered his eyes slightly and met her surprised gaze. they looked at each other for about half a minute before jiang che’s hand moved.

“seat belt.” he said.

he helped her put on her seat belt.

shi yan didn’t know how to react for a moment.

so, he suddenly leaned over just to help her fasten her seat belt?

just as she was thinking this, she realized that jiang che, who had helped her fasten her seat belt, had not backed off. he was still in the position where he trapped her between him and the seat.

He just looked down at her.

Shi Yan didn’t know if it was because of the alcohol, but she actually felt her cheeks burning. For a moment, she almost couldn’t bear his gaze and avoided it.

Fortunately, she persevered. Her eyes flickered and she continued to look into his eyes.

“Mr. Jiang?”

after the initial shock, she regained a little of her calmness. when she spoke again, her tone was calmer than before.

Jiang che stared at her for a few more seconds before retreating slightly.

at most, the distance between them was not as close as before.

“Miss Shi.” He called out to her.

His voice was deep and rich, as if a stone had hit her heart. Shi Yan seemed to be able to hear her own strong heartbeat at that moment.

She didn’t reply and waited for him to continue.

however, her action of gently pursing her lips made jiang che’s deep eyes light up with a faint light, and a faint misty radiance flashed in his eyes.

It disappeared in a flash, and even Shi Yan did not notice.

“I’m sorry for interrupting your conversation with someone just now.”

the interruption just now was a tacit understanding between the two of them. shi yan thought that he and she would have a tacit understanding not to mention it to anyone. she didn’t expect him to take the initiative to mention it.

“It’s okay, Yuan wasn’t talking about anything important.”

“someone is confessing to miss shi. is it not something important?” there was no fluctuation in his tone, and it was extremely calm, as if he was talking about something very normal.

However, a faint smile flashed across Shi Yan’s eyes.

“Whether it’s important or not depends on the person who confesses,” she said, looking up at him.

Hearing her words, Jiang Che’s eyes darkened even more. The hand that was supporting her body slowly clenched into a fist, and the veins on the back of his hand could be seen.

Shi Yan thought he would continue on this topic, but he changed the subject and asked,”Ms. Shi, aren’t you curious why I travel in a wheelchair even though I’m perfectly fine?”

“naturally, i’m curious.”

she smiled. ” but since teacher jiang doesn’t want to say, i won’t ask. i just want to know that teacher jiang is healthy. ”

her words made jiang che pause. ” what if i’m really not in good health? what if my legs can’t move? ”

shi yan didn’t ask him why he asked this. she only said,”When I first met Mr. Jiang, he was in a wheelchair.”

didn’t she also fall in love with him at first sight?

why would she care if his body was in poor condition or if his legs were disabled?

“If teacher Jiang’s body is really not good and his legs can not walk, I will find a doctor for you,” she continued.

After staring at her for a while, Jiang che said, ” “What if the doctor still can’t cure it?”

“then i’ll continue to find a doctor for teacher jiang.”

“what if it can’t be cured in this lifetime?”

Then I will find a doctor for teacher Jiang for a lifetime.

Of course, Shi Yan didn’t say this out loud. She looked at him and smiled.”what answer would teacher jiang like to hear?”

He didn’t answer her. Instead, he slightly curved his lips and threw the question to her. “What answer do you think I’d like to hear, Ms. Shi?”

“mr. jiang, i asked you first.”

the lights in the car weren’t very bright, and it was a little dim. the two of them were in such a position, and with such a conversation, the atmosphere was a little ambiguous.

They looked at each other in silence for a while before Jiang che spoke again, ” “miss shi, i heard you say that you believe in love at first sight?”

Shi Yan met his gaze directly and said with a smile, but not without seriousness,”yes, i do.”

“i also believe that.”

His tone was calm and serious.

Then, he retreated.

he sat back down.

He stepped back. Shi Yan heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she felt a little disappointed.

The two of them did not speak.

After a long time, Shi Yan adjusted her sitting position and placed her hands on her legs. She looked at him sideways.”mr. jiang.”

He looked over when he heard the voice.

he looked at shi yan’s faint smile.

there was a beauty, elegant and gentle.

“Thank you for coming to pick me up,” she said, her eyes curved into a smile.

he stared at her for a few seconds and said,”since you want to thank me, may i ask for a gift from miss shi?”

Shi Yan was slightly surprised.

he was so gentle and elegant, looking at a person who had no desires, she really did not expect him to take the initiative to ask for a thank you gift.

“of course, what do you want as a thank you gift, teacher jiang?”

He looked at her with a smile in his eyes.”let’s not talk about it first.”

shi yan was stunned. she didn’t expect him to answer like this, but she quickly reacted and said with a faint smile, ” “alright, then we’ll talk about it when teacher jiang wants to.”

The two of them looked at each other for a few more seconds, and then they did not speak.

even so, the atmosphere in the car was not awkward or dull. instead, it was a little unclear.

the car entered the jiang family’s mansion and arrived at the small courtyard where shi yan lived.

jiang che was the first to open the door and get out of the car. he held the door and waited for shi yan.

shi yan thanked him and got out of the car. jiang che closed the car door.

It was still raining, but it was just a light drizzle. It was not a big deal to be drenched for a while.

The two of them stood face to face, and behind Shi Yan was the gate of her small courtyard.

“teacher jiang, i’ve arrived.”

Under the dim street lights, the girl had a high ponytail and was wearing casual clothes. When she smiled, there was a little girlish vivacity in her gentle and square smile, which easily pierced people’s hearts.

Jiang che suddenly took a step forward and leaned forward to hug her.

Shi Yan’s body stiffened slightly, and so did her smile. She was shocked and at a loss.

At this moment, Jiang Che’s pleasant voice rang in her ear, ” “a thank you gift.”

It was a hug. It was not a tight hug, but a light one. He let go in less than ten seconds.

he had a good bearing and was a modest gentleman.

he said, ” i’ve received the thank you gift. i’ll let this matter go. miss shi, don’t forget what you’ve promised me. you’ll be my advisor and accompany me to buy books tomorrow. ”

Shi Yan was embarrassed by his open and generous hug.

“I won’t forget. I’ll contact you tomorrow.”

After a pause, she said,”but isn’t this thank you gift too light?”

Just a hug?

let’s call it a hug, so he let go of her after a light hug, and she didn’t even react.

“It’s not light, but enough.”

as he spoke, the corners of his lips curved into a small arc.”Good night, Ms. Shi.”

She rarely saw him smile, but every time she did, even the calm and composed Shi Yan couldn’t help but be amazed.”Good, good night, Mr. Jiang.”

the smile on jiang che’s lips seemed to grow a little wider. he turned around, opened the car door, and got in.

shi yan had wanted to wait for his car to leave before returning to the courtyard. however, she saw the window of the back seat roll down and meet jiang che’s good-looking eyes.

Without waiting for Jiang che to speak, Shi Yan understood what he meant.

she smiled and waved at him, then turned around and entered the courtyard.

jiang che only rolled up the window when she could no longer be seen.

The car headed in the direction of Bamboo Garden.

In the car, Jiang Lin glanced at Jiang che in the back seat several times through the rearview mirror. He looked like he wanted to say something, but he hesitated. This little movement naturally could not escape Jiang Che’s eyes.

“if you have something to say, then say it.”

“Fifth … Fifth master, I know that I shouldn’t be asking this, but I can’t help but ask. Why didn’t you express your feelings to miss Shi Yan directly? I don’t think she has any interest in you.”

“it’s not time yet.”

jiang lin did not dare to ask why it was not the right time yet.
