Chu Xiang wasn't an ordinary person. She greeted her mother without hesitation. "Hello, Mrs. Shao. My name is Chu Xiang. I'm Shao Yan's deskmate. Sorry to disturb you today."
Chu Xiang smiled sweetly. Shao Yan couldn't help but glance at her.
Seeing that her son's classmates were easy to get along with, Mrs. Shao immediately relaxed and greeted them happily. "Come in and have a seat. I've asked someone to prepare some fruits. Have some first." She walked as she said, "It's not very late now. You must not have eaten well at school. Let's have a good dinner. What do you like to eat, Xiang Xiang? "
Chu Xiang smiled. "I'm not picky. I'll just eat something simple. Sorry to trouble you, Mrs. Shao."
"It's no trouble. I've always wanted a beautiful and cute daughter. I feel so close to you when I see you. You must come here often in the future. Treat this as your home and play with Yan whatever you want. I don't know what you children like to play. If there's anything you need at home, just tell me. I'll get someone to buy it right away. " Mrs. Shao pulled Chu Xiang to sit down. She smiled gently and didn't show any signs of coercion. She was completely a loving mother.
Chu Xiang saw a variety of fruits in front of her. The faint fruity smell was very pleasant, but there were too many of them.
Shao Yan had been thinking about how to entertain his deskmate all the way home. Who knew that his mother would intercept him as soon as he got home. He couldn't say anything and could only watch his mother and Chu Xiang being affectionate. They gave her fruits, juice, and a lot of other things to play with at home. His mother had done all these things. What could he do?
Most importantly, Chu Xiang's attention was completely attracted by his mother. She didn't even look at him or smile at him.
A few minutes later, Shao Yan suddenly stood up. Mrs. Shao looked at him immediately. "Yan?"
Then, Mrs. Shao was stunned to see Shao Yan go around to Chu Xiang's side. He pulled Chu Xiang's sleeve and asked her to stand up. Then, he picked up two school bags and walked upstairs.
Mrs. Shao looked at him holding Chu Xiang's hand in surprise and forgot what she was going to say.
Chu Xiang followed Shao Yan's footsteps and turned back with a smile. "Mrs. Shao, Shao Yan may want to share something interesting with me or ask me to do my homework. I'll go up first and talk to you later."
Mrs. Shao came back to her senses and smiled subconsciously. "Ah, okay. Then do your homework and have fun."
She gave the servant a look, and the servant hurriedly took the two school bags from Shao Yan's hands and brought them upstairs.
The Shao Family was built like a manor. The villa where the master lived had three floors, and Shao Yan lived on the third floor.
Shao Yan pulled Chu Xiang into the study, took two school bags and put them on the desk. Chu Xiang thought that he was going to do his homework, so she automatically sat next to him. She raised her head and smiled. "Let's hurry up and do our homework. If we're late, we can still play for a while."
Shao Yan was stunned. He had just put down his schoolbag. However, seeing that Chu Xiang had already opened the exercise book, he sat opposite her and silently took out the questions and began to do them.
He could see her as soon as he raised his head, and he felt very relaxed.
He remembered that Chu Xiang had a lot of questions that she didn't understand, so she always asked Yang Xueqing to help her explain them at school. This made him a little distressed. If Chu Xiang had a question that she didn't understand later, how could he explain it to her? If he didn't explain and only wrote the steps to solve the questions, would Chu Xiang think that he had a bad personality and not want to associate with him anymore?
Shao Yan thought a lot, but when he raised his head, he found that Chu Xiang was writing the answers to the questions quickly, one after another, as if she didn't need to think. He carefully looked at her answers and found that they were all correct. There was one question that Chu Xiang asked Yang Xueqing before school, but Yang Xueqing didn't know how to solve it.
So Chu Xiang knew how to solve the questions?
Every time Chu Xiang went to a world where she couldn't cultivate, she would let the Heaven and Earth Mirror stand guard by her side to monitor her surroundings. After being reminded by the Heaven and Earth Mirror, she noticed Shao Yan's fixed gaze.
She followed Shao Yan's gaze and thought for a moment. Then, she said mischievously, "What's wrong? Do you think that I'm a liar and that I'm different from what you imagined? "
Shao Yan was indeed very puzzled. He looked at her as if asking why she pretended to be bad at her studies when she obviously knew how to do it.
Chu Xiang reached out and touched his eyes. She saw Shao Yan blinking reflexively, but he did not avoid her touch. She smiled and said, "Your eyes are really beautiful. Is it because you don't talk that you have a pair of conversational eyes?"
Shao Yan wanted to look in the mirror. Were his eyes conversational?
However, he wanted to get Chu Xiang's answer, so he sat on the chair and didn't move. He continued to look at Chu Xiang.
Chu Xiang twirled the pen with her fingers and smiled. "Someone wants to see my poor grades. Of course, I have to be the last in the exam. Anyway, I've learned what I should learn. It doesn't matter if my grades are good or not in the ordinary monthly exam. But that's all in the past. Now I know that the Chu family won't throw me out and will always let me go to school. Of course, I don't need to hide. It's just that it's not good to let people know that I deliberately did poorly in the exam. I'd better work hard and then do well in the exam. "
She glanced at Shao Yan's paper. "You're in the top three in the class. Is it because you never ask others when you don't know the questions? In the future, if you have something you don't understand, you can ask me. I'll explain it to you as a thank you for taking me in today. Now do your homework quickly. We have to eat later. "
Chu Xiang lowered her head and wrote the answers one by one. Shao Yan looked at her and understood her words to mean that she hid everything in order to stay and study. He calculated his pocket money in his mind. He didn't know whether the tuition was expensive or not. He didn't know whether his pocket money was enough to pay Chu Xiang's tuition. He didn't want to change deskmates.
Chu Xiang's concentration on studying always affected others. Shao Yan quickly calmed down and began to focus on doing the questions.
Downstairs, Shao Yan's mother was still thinking that Shao Yan took the initiative to pull Chu Xiang up. She was still a little confused. She thought for a while and said to the housekeeper, "Did Yan really pull Xiang Xiang away just now? Did I see it wrong? "
The housekeeper nodded heavily. "It was the young master who took the initiative to pull her. Madam, the young master is willing to hang out with others!"
Shao Yan's mother hesitated. "Does Yan … dislike me for taking up their time? He, he wants to play with his friends, right? I was so long-winded just now. Alas, I'm so stupid! "
Shao Yan's mother was annoyed. The housekeeper persuaded her. "Madam, it's the first time you entertain the young master's friends. You'll understand the young master's meaning after a few more times. I don't think the young master will be angry. Madam, you let Sister Chu feel relaxed and warm at home. Maybe Sister Chu will come a few more times. The young master will definitely be happy. "
Shao Yan's mother nodded and stopped hesitating. "You're right. If the girl is bored, she won't come again. By the way, send some food and drinks up. Remember to come out quickly after you send them in. Don't disturb them. Oh, no. Choose two smart people to wait outside the door. They won't disturb them, and they can find people immediately if something happens. Understand? "
"Understood. I'll go now."
"Okay. Go and arrange it. I'll go to the kitchen and make two dishes. " Shao Yan's mother didn't know how to cook when she was young. Later, she stayed at home to take care of her son. She worked hard to learn how to cook so that her son could eat happily. This was the first time she met her son's friends. She attached great importance to it. The ingredients were sent over from a Michelin restaurant. She wanted her son's friends to eat happily.
While she was cooking, her assistant had already investigated Chu Xiang's biographical information. She put on her earphones and listened to the assistant's detailed report. Gradually, she learned about Chu Xiang's situation. When she found out that Chu Xiang had drowned and was actually saved by Shao Yan, her hand slipped and the blade of the knife cut her index finger.
The servant in the kitchen hurried forward. "Madam, let me take care of it. Quickly go and treat the wound."
Shao Yan's mother shook her head. "It's okay. It's just a cut. I'll just put a band-aid on it."
Her expression became serious. She asked the assistant on the other side of the phone, "What happened at that time? Did Yan enter the water? How did he save Chu Xiang? Did he do anything? Did he have any other reaction? "
"Madam, there are no surveillance cameras near the pool. According to the details from the young master's classmates, after Sister Chu drowned, the young master's face was a little pale. He kept staring at the water and clenching his fists. Later, a classmate named Yu Nan who sat in front of Sister Chu jumped into the pool to save her. After performing CPR on her, she stopped breathing.
At that time, everyone was scared out of their wits. The young master suddenly walked over and said, "Let me do it." Then, he pushed Yu Nan away and performed CPR on Sister Chu with a very standard method. He even gave her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. After a while, Sister Chu choked on water and woke up.
After that, Sister Chu seemed to be a little dependent on the young master. She kept leaning on the young master and grabbed his arm. After confronting Chu Xuan, she even asked the young master to carry her upstairs to get her bag and sent her to the ambulance. After the young master saw the ambulance leave, he directly got into the car and went home. "
Mother Shao remembered that Shao Yan had stayed in the bedroom for the whole afternoon. He only came out at dinner time. As there was nothing unusual, she didn't think too much about it. Now that she knew that it was related to Chu Xiang's drowning, she was a little worried. She was afraid that Shao Yan would remember something bad.
No wonder Shao Yan treated Chu Xiang so differently. It turned out that they had both drowned, and Chu Xiang was saved by Shao Yan.
Was Shao Yan worried that Chu Xiang was frightened like him and didn't want to communicate with others? Was he worried that Chu Xiang would be blamed by the Chu family when she went home? Did he feel close to Chu Xiang because she was saved by him? Did he think that they were in the same boat?
Mother Shao had a lot of guesses in her heart, but she couldn't verify them. Her son had been unwilling to talk at home all these years. She wanted to know what her son liked and hated, so she had to rely on observing his body language and constantly testing him. Thinking about it, Shao Yan's "Let me do it" by the pool was the only thing he had said for many years.
Chu Xiang was indeed special to Shao Yan. At least, she was the only person who could walk into Shao Yan's world in ten years. Because of this, she couldn't let anyone bully Chu Xiang.
As for Chu Xiang's character, she believed in her son's judgment.
It was rare for a rich family to have the wrong child, but it was not impossible. At that time, the Chu family and the Chen family were in similar conditions, so the two children had different destinies. Mother Shao made a special investigation. Of course, she knew that the Chen family had mistreated Chu Xiang for many years, and that Chu Xiang had been punished by her parents many times after she was recognized.
Chu Xiang had been bullying Chu Xuan. It was possible, but also impossible. It was possible that Chu Xiang had been mistreated for 17 years because of their identity, so it was normal for her to have resentment. It was impossible that Chu Xiang had not done anything bad for so many years. She had been upright in the Chen family, and she was not the kind of person who would bully others behind their backs. If she had been found out every time she bullied others, she would have been too stupid. Chu Xiang didn't look like a stupid person.
In this case, it could only be that the Chu couple had been blinded by their feelings for many years, making them ignore the root of the matter and easily believe that Chu Xiang had bullied Chu Xuan, which made Chu Xiang disappointed.
Mother Shao put herself in Shao Yan's shoes and thought that if Shao Yan was not her son and she got a biological son, she wouldn't care about Shao Yan. She couldn't care less about her own son than Shao Yan. After all, she had carefully raised him as her own son for more than ten years. She had given her feelings to Shao Yan, and her feelings wouldn't change because of blood.
However, she would never be partial to anyone indiscriminately. Even if she had no feelings for her biological son, she would take care of him carefully. She felt sorry for the hardships he had suffered over the years and tried her best to mediate the relationship between the two children. Even if the children couldn't get along well, she would separate them and give them the best life, instead of punishing one and spoiling the other. She felt that the Chu couple's behavior directly revealed their character and character in their bones.
She briefly told Father Shao about these things and told him not to talk nonsense at home, so as not to make the children unhappy.
Father Shao was still waiting outside. He was anxious because he couldn't see his son and his son's friends. After thinking about it, he called the school principal.
He had invested in this private school, and there was a campus from elementary to high school. It was convenient for his son to go to school, and the environment was safe. He always knew about his son's situation, so he was actually the principal's boss.
As soon as the principal received the call, he was shocked. He thought that something had happened to his boss's son in school, but the boss asked about another child of the Chu family. The Chu family's family background was not low or particularly high in the school. There were many similar families, so he had never paid special attention to it.
If the dean hadn't reported to him in the daytime about cutting the school uniform and drawing a toad, he might not even know the name Chu Xiang.
He didn't know anything else, so he simply mentioned it to Father Shao. Father Shao didn't expect such a thing to happen. Since the surveillance camera showed that Chu Xuan was alone in the locker room, it was of course Chu Xuan who did it.
Father Shao wasn't interested in these trivial things. He only told the principal to take care of Chu Xiang and not let Chu Xiang be treated unfairly on campus.
The principal naturally agreed. People like them didn't need to be too detailed. They understood everything with just one sentence. After hanging up, the principal informed the dean and Chu Xiang's class teacher to take good care of Chu Xiang and give the child a high-quality learning space. If Chu Xiang had any needs, they should try their best to satisfy them.
During the day, Chu Xiang gave the teachers the impression that she was a hard-working child who was eager to learn and wanted to study. But at night, all the teachers who received the news were muttering in their hearts. So this student had a background. However, they were just teachers. If the student didn't make trouble, they would be happy to teach. Besides, Chu Xiang was serious and eager to study, so they were willing to take care of her.
In this way, when Chu Xiang was still doing her homework, Father Shao, who was blocking the way, arranged everything for her clearly. At least, with the teacher's attention, no one could falsely accuse her, spread rumors about her, and isolate her.
Shao Tianze's father hurried home and finally arrived before dinner. He went to the kitchen to meet Mother Shao. They didn't come up with anything after discussing it. Their son, who had been autistic for ten years, suddenly showed signs of breaking the ice. They were so excited that they didn't know what to do.
Mother Shao thought that Father Shao's tall suit was too serious. She pushed him upstairs and changed him into a light-colored home clothes with soft fabric. Father Shao didn't know that he had such a set of clothes. It was said that some brands sent new clothes every season. He didn't wear some of them and let the butler deal with them. This time, it was just right to use it to highlight his easygoing and harmlessness to the greatest extent.
Mother Shao also found a pair of gold-rimmed glasses for him to wear. It was to cover his somewhat sharp eyes and not frighten the girl.
When they were all ready, they asked the butler to knock on the door and call Shao Yan and Chu Xiang to eat.
Chu Xiang and the others had finished their homework. Chu Xiang even explained a few questions to Shao Yan. Of course, she was the one doing the talking while Shao Yan listened in silence. However, she knew that Shao Yan listened carefully because after she taught him the questions of the same type, Shao Yan solved them all. His learning attitude was very good.
They went to the dining room and sat down. Mother Shao smiled gently and asked, "How is it? Are the questions difficult? If there's anything you don't know, you can ask me. There's a tutor at home. "
There was indeed a tutor at home, but Shao Yan never asked questions or listened to the tutor. He refused to communicate with the tutor. The tutor was just a backup, in case Shao Yan had to ask the tutor when he wanted to ask questions.
Chu Xiang smiled politely. "It's okay, Mother Shao. Shao Yan is very good at his studies. If there's something I don't know, I can ask him."
Father Shao and Mother Shao were surprised. Father Shao looked at his son in disbelief. "Yan taught you questions? Did he talk? "
Mother Shao hurriedly said, "This is Yan's father. You can call him Father Shao. He got off work late and just came back."
Chu Xiang greeted him obediently. "Hello, Father Shao. It's our first time meeting. Sorry to disturb you. Shao Yan doesn't like to talk, but he will write down the steps to solve the questions. I can understand them. He's very nice and has helped me a lot. He also takes care of me in school. "
Their son knew how to help and take care of people? Father Shao and Mother Shao looked at each other. They felt that Chu Xiang was a different person. However, Shao Yan did save Chu Xiang's life because Chu Xiang said two words. They were deskmates. Maybe they got along well in private?
Father Shao smiled quickly. "If you get along well, you should visit each other more often. As you can see, the house is a little quiet. Yan's mother and I are busy and can't take care of him. Xiang Xiang, come more often if you're free. If you're late, you can stay here."
Mother Shao said, "Yes, I like you very much. I feel that we hit it off very well. It would be great if you could come often. Do you like pets? Why don't you and Yan have a pet together? The yard here is big. You can run outside and play. "
The doctor had long suggested that Shao Yan should have a pet. He didn't want to communicate with people, so he might communicate with animals. Besides, animals sometimes had a healing effect on people. If Shao Yan opened his heart to pets, he could gradually open his heart to people.
She had sent all kinds of pets to Shao Yan, but Shao Yan didn't even look at them. If Chu Xiang liked it, she might take the opportunity to give her son a pet. If Chu Xiang didn't want to play with her son in the future, her son would have a pet.
Chu Xiang used to be a doctor. Although she didn't specialize in psychology, there were many psychologists in her circle of friends. She knew a little about it. She looked at Mother Shao's expectant eyes and said in surprise, "Can we have pets? Then I want two golden retrievers, the kind that are just born. Yan and I will take one each and raise them ourselves. It must be fun! "
Mrs. Shao immediately raised her chest and looked at Shao Yan, only to see him staring at Chu Xiang. She blinked her eyes. Could it be that her son … had his first awakening of love and had fallen in love with that girl?
She looked at Chu Xiang. She was cute and soft. She liked it too! Her son had good taste!
Mother Shao put food in Chu Xiang's bowl and said, "I'll ask someone to send the dogs here tomorrow. After school, you can decide what kind of kennel to choose and how to raise a cute dog. Dogs are delicate. Yan has rooms on the third floor. You can choose a place to be the dog's place. Remember to tell me if you need anything. "
"Okay. Thank you, Mother Shao."
"You're welcome. I made it. Try it."
"It's delicious. I love sweet and sour pork ribs."
Chu Xiang was not shy at all. She had always liked the warmth of a family. She liked the beautiful love of a father and mother. People like Father Shao and Mother Shao were very rare. Of course, she wanted to enjoy the feeling of being a delicate daughter!
Seeing Chu Xiang's happy face, Shao Yan put aside the fact that she had lied about him teaching her questions. Then he saw that Chu Xiang had eaten several pieces of sweet and sour pork ribs. He looked at the plate and picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs for himself.
Father Shao and Mother Shao were happy to see this. Shao Yan had only eaten the food on the plate in front of him for so many years. He didn't even eat the food in his bowl. This was the first time he took the initiative to pick up food from other plates, and it was because of Chu Xiang.
They paid more attention to Chu Xiang. They greeted Chu Xiang warmly and chatted with Chu Xiang so that there wouldn't be any awkward silence. As for the rule of not talking while eating, they had already thrown it to the North Pole.
Shao Yan didn't change much. Most of the time, he was still the same as usual. However, he looked at Father Shao and Mother Shao more. They were dressed very differently today. They kept smiling and chatting, which attracted Chu Xiang's attention.
So, they dressed up to attract Chu Xiang?
How dare they steal his friends!
Father Shao and Mother Shao were a little excited. Their son paid special attention to them today. Was he satisfied with how they entertained his friends? It must be. They should also pay attention to their son's friends in the future!
Shao Yan stood up as soon as Chu Xiang put down her chopsticks. He had already remembered that if he wanted Chu Xiang to go with him, he had to pull Chu Xiang's sleeve. So he pulled Chu Xiang's sleeve and went upstairs.
Chu Xiang looked back and smiled as she walked. "Father Shao, Mother Shao, dinner was delicious. I'll go up and play with Shao Yan first. I'll chat with you later."
Mother Shao said, "Go ahead and play for a while. Don't worry about us. I'll ask someone to send you food later. "
"Okay, thank you, Mother Shao." Chu Xiang walked quickly and went upstairs with Shao Yan.
Shao Yan took her to the game room. Chu Xiang's eyes lit up. "You want to play games with me?"
Shao Yan hesitated. He didn't know how to play games. He usually only read books. He was afraid that Chu Xiang would be bored, so he took her here. However, when he saw Chu Xiang's sparkling eyes, he decided to play with her.
When Mother Shao brought over the fruit plate and juice, she saw her son and Chu Xiang playing games together. She suddenly had a feeling that whether her son could become better depended on whether Chu Xiang was willing to enter her son's world.
