Chapter 144 Returning to School
Speaking of which, Shen Xi felt like she was about to sprout from being cooped up at home, and finally the doctor could remove the cast.
Actually, when she was leaving for her follow-up appointment, the doctor advised her not to lift heavy things with that arm if necessary, and not to twist it too much after recovery, otherwise it could easily lead to bone misalignment.
Shen Xi listened intently, since she really didn't have anything to do.
However, when Shen Xi left after hearing what she said, Jiang Ci glanced at her right arm, which was already hanging down naturally.
Now, when he walks, he always moves to her right side discreetly, so that people passing by can't brush against her right arm.
……
My first day back in the classroom.
It's been over three months since school started, and social circles have gradually formed. The female students have already found their partners for going to the bathroom and eating, while the male students have found their like-minded buddies.
So when Jiang Ci and Shen Xi sat back down in their seats, the surroundings seemed to fall silent for a second.
Good-looking people always attract attention, whether they are boys or girls.
Shen Xi has a cool and aloof appearance. She sits there expressionless, instantly establishing her image as a cold and aloof goddess.
Beside him sat Jiang Ci, a true young master, looking utterly listless. His long arms and legs made the already oversized school uniform of Xiangtan High School appear even smaller on him.
Moreover, it seems like there's a chemical reaction when two good-looking people sit together.
Instantly, the surroundings became as lively as if a hot oil pan had been sizzled.
Shen Xi had been feeling the subtle gazes around her, but she sat down expressionlessly and took out her book without any further expression.
It felt like there were many screaming chickens screaming in my ears at the same time.
Ahhhh, why are so many people looking at me?!
Ball, ball, everyone stop looking at me!
Shen Xi felt a chill run down her spine; she didn't even have the courage to look up and see who was watching her.
Jiang Ci's gaze had been intentionally or unintentionally fixed on her, and he naturally noticed the furtive look that was creeping into her eyes. She wanted to look up, but didn't have the courage.
He chuckled softly, carefully tidied up her things and placed them neatly on the table before slowly organizing his own.
“Raise your head a little higher, otherwise your arm will get better and your cervical spine will be strained again, and then you’ll really have to go to the hospital a second time.”
Jiang Ci packed up her things and saw that her face was almost buried under the table, her thoughts were in turmoil.
Is it simply that she feels uncomfortable being the center of attention, or does she just not want to be noticed when she's with him?
Jiang Ci subconsciously denied the thought that suddenly popped into his head.
He felt like his brain was bubbly, otherwise why would he be thinking such unrealistic things?
Fortunately, the high school curriculum is indeed very intensive. Even in the first year of high school, all the teachers start talking about a century-old tradition.
"Students, we need to catch up quickly, because we are already behind schedule."
When Shen Xi looked at the teacher with the little bee and said those words with a serious expression, she almost burst out laughing.
It's only been three months since school started, and the progress is already lagging behind.
Sure enough, teachers' catchphrases are passed down from generation to generation.
Shen Xi realized halfway through the math class that she wouldn't gain anything from it.
We already learned about these basic sets.
She glanced to the side and exclaimed, "Oh!"
On Jiang Ci's desk was a thick book written entirely in English, which he was reading intently, marking and annotating it bit by bit.
Shen Xi leaned back quietly, squinting as she strained to see clearly.
Why is there advanced mathematics in this English book?
Jiang Ci seemed to know what she was doing. He raised half of the book with his well-defined knuckles, revealing a red cover. It was an economics book.
Her eye twitched; she wouldn't even dare to look at this thing if it were given to her.
As the saying goes, everyone has their own area of expertise.
When Shen Xi saw Jiang Ci take out the economics book, she was greatly encouraged.
She then took out a book about what people say about art and sat down to read it with great interest.
The two of them were doing their own things and were quite relaxed.
The two of them went about their classes as usual, but on Saturday, Jiang Ci took the initiative to ask the teacher for a week's leave.
When Teacher Jiang dutifully inquired about the reasons for the leave.
Jiang Ci said calmly, "It's a family matter."
He spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Ms. Jiang didn't suspect anything, mainly because the student's family background was very wealthy. It wasn't something she, as a teacher, could easily find out about the affairs of wealthy families. So when Jiang Ci used this reason to ask for leave, she immediately agreed.
I just reminded him to be careful on the road.
And so, Jiang Ci and Shen Xi peacefully took a week off.
Shen Ci only learned about this after he had already requested leave.
"What?! You actually managed to get a week off?! Didn't Teacher Jiang ask you anything?"
Shen Xi put down her pen and looked at him in shock. Logically, this shouldn't be the case. Teacher Jiang should have been asking Jiang Ci why he asked for leave!
Jiang Ci, with his hands in his pockets and no extra expression, explained to Shen Xi the reason for his leave.
Shen Xi paused suspiciously for a moment, as if using this method to ask for leave was a foolproof way to do it!
"How should we explain this to Aunt Hua and Uncle Jiang?" As expected, Teacher Jiang should be a responsible homeroom teacher, and she should verify the truth of the matter with the parents.
Jiang Ci wasn't worried at all. "I told them about this a long time ago, and they support us being able to come out and rest whenever we want."
He crossed his arms and said, "Long-term continuous learning does not lead to good work efficiency. Besides, you and I already know these things, so there is no need to waste time learning these basics."
Shen Xi nodded. If that was the case, she wouldn't be worried anymore. She had been worried that if her aunt found out they were out fooling around together, it might interfere with her studies.
Now it seems they really are the patriarch of an open family.
They arrived at the amusement park in advance by private jet.
City H
The most famous thing about this place is the amusement park, but since it's school season now, there are very few reservations.
Jiang Ci had considered booking the entire venue, so that they wouldn't have to wait in line.
But after hearing Jiang Ci's suggestion, Shen Xi resolutely rejected his request.
Shen Xi said, "The soul of an amusement park is its people. Without them, we wouldn't have as much fun. It's fine if there are a lot of people on holidays, but this is a weekday, so there are very few people coming and going."
In the end, Jiang Ci respected Shen Xi's opinion.
This amusement park has a really great atmosphere; even during the day, colorful neon lights are still hanging there.
There weren't many people at the ticket gate. After queuing for a few minutes, they were able to get their tickets checked and enter the station.
Jiang Ci rarely comes to places like this. Although he doesn't see them on TV, he still has a different feeling when he actually experiences them.
As soon as Shen Xi entered, she ran excitedly to the roller coaster. She pointed at the roller coaster, where the previous group of people were still going around and around.
She asked, "I want to ride a roller coaster, do you want to?"
Jiang Ci nodded. This looked pretty exciting, but why did they have to pause in mid-air?
He glanced at it with a puzzled look, but remained silent.
The next group was Shen Xi and Jiang Ci. Shen Xi and Jiang Ci sat in a row. When the seats on the roller coaster locked, Shen Xi clearly felt Jiang Ci move.
She blinked and asked, "Are you scared?"
Jiang Ci said calmly, "How could that be?"
"Oh fine."
As the roller coaster soared into the sky, Shen Xi felt the person holding her hand trembling uncontrollably.
Shen Xi opened her eyes in the strong wind. She blinked and looked over, seeing that the boy's face was pale and his eyes were closed.
Shen Xi shouted from mid-air, "Hey Jiang Ci, are you alright?"
This guy is clearly scared but he's stubbornly refusing to admit it, and now he's so frightened he can't even open his eyes.
Shen Xi was both amused and exasperated.
When the roller coaster finally came down, Jiang Ci clutched his stomach and closed his eyes, looking utterly exasperated.
His ear tips were bright red, as if he had committed some heinous crime.
Shen Xi suppressed a laugh and kindly comforted him, "This isn't suitable for you. Let's take a break and try something else."
Jiang Ci pursed her lips and followed behind Shen Xi, explaining, "I just have an upset stomach today, it won't happen again next time."
"Okay, I got it, so let's move on to the next one!"
Shen Xi turned her face away and smiled secretly. After she finished laughing, she pulled Jiang Ci to take a picture with the anime characters.
"Which photo do you think is the best?"
Shen Xi spent money to buy the photos and then showed them to Jiang Ci one by one.
Jiang Ci looked at the photos intently. Shen Xi in the photos was exceptionally vivid and lifelike; her expression was playful. He smiled slightly.
"Each beautiful picture evokes a different feeling."
Shen Xi was delighted to hear the compliments she wanted, and happily put the photos into her bag. These would be her travel photos from now on.
