Shen Yuchuan had just arrived home and was a little surprised when he saw the phone caller ID, “Not asleep yet?”

“Teacher Shen, can you talk to me?” Jiang Rui’s voice was clearly trembling.

“What’s the matter?” Shen Yuchuan asked immediately.

“Just now the landlord drank too much alcohol and suddenly became drunk and kept knocking on my door…” Jiang Rui described intermittently.

When he heard the first sentence, Shen Yuchuan had already picked up the key and rushed to the garage.

Jiang Rui heard the movement over there and said hurriedly: “It’s all right now, Teacher Shen doesn’t need to come over.”

Shen Yuchuan’s face was as sinking as water and his tone was still calm: “Don’t be afraid. You lock the door now, find a clean place to sit down, play two songs, and I will be there when the songs are finished.”

Jiang Rui was silent for a while, did not refuse anymore, and whispered: “Then you drive slowly and pay attention to safety. I’m not afraid.”

“It is good.”

Jiang Rui hung up the phone, turned on soft music, walked to the mirror, and looked at herself. Her face was white and her eyes were a little red, just like she was frightened.

She was sitting by the bed and listening to music. When the music hit the fifth loop, the phone rang.

Shen Yuchuan’s voice was a little panting, “I’m outside the door.”

Jiang Rui ran out to open the door. The moment she saw Shen Yuchuan, her eyes were soaked, tears poured out, and she threw herself into his arms uncontrollably.

“Teacher Shen!”

Shen Yuchuan hugged her tightly and patted her back lightly with one hand, “It’s okay.”

Jiang Rui let out a small sob. It seemed as if she had endured for a long time pretending to be strong and finally saw a reliable person and all her grievances and fears burst out.

Shen Yuchuan felt his chest was rubbed hard by someone and it was crumpled.

He looked up at the house. The living room was in a mess and the ground was covered with broken glass and blood. He can imagine how crazy the other person was and how much fear it caused. He wished he could get that man out and beat him up right now so that he would get the punishment he deserved.

After a few minutes, Jiang Rui gradually calmed down, and then realized that her actions were inappropriate, and hurriedly stepped away from Shen Yuchuan’s arms, “Teacher Shen, I…”

Shen Yuchuan took her hand and walked into the house, “Which room is yours? Pack things up and we will move now.”

Before Jiang Rui could say anything, she was taken back to her room.

The rooms are small, but it is very warmly decorated and the quilts are neatly folded. She did not live here for a long time and did not have many things. The two of them stuffed everything into the suitcase together. After that, Shen Yuchuan picked up the suitcase and she went downstairs with two potted plants.

After getting in the car, Jiang Rui said, “Teacher Shen, please send me to a nearby hotel. I will stay for one night first and find a new house tomorrow.”

“Go to my place.” Shen Yuchuan said.

Jiang Rui was taken aback: “This, how can this be?”

Shen Yuchuan turned to look at her, “In this situation, I can’t leave you alone in the hotel. If you are worried, I can send you to my parents.”

“No, no, no…” Jiang Rui waved her hand again and again, “Don’t disturb Uncle and Auntie.”

“Then it’s settled.” Shen Yuchuan started the car.

Jiang Rui sat in the passenger seat dazedly, as if she did not react to what he said. When she entered Shen Yuchuan’s villa, she was still a little uncomfortable.

Shen Yuchuan took her luggage and led the way, “I live alone at home. I usually call someone to clean it when I’m not at home, so you don’t have to worry about meeting anyone.”

He took Jiang Rui to the guest room on the second floor. The room was very spacious with all the furniture and beds as well as a balcony and bathroom.

“Stay here tonight, tell me what you need, I’m in the room diagonally across.”

Jiang Rui sniffed gently, “Teacher Shen, I wouldn’t know what to do if I didn’t have you tonight.”

“Don’t think about it so much, take a bath, and get a good night’s sleep. You will forget about it when you wake up tomorrow morning. If you don’t want to sleep, just talk to me.”

“Yeah.” Jiang Rui nodded vigorously, “Good night, Teacher Shen.”

“Good night.”

It’s already late tonight. Jiang Rui took a bath and fell asleep shortly after lying down.

It was Shen Yuchuan in the room on the opposite side of the corridor, tossed and turned until very late. The thought of her in his house made him jump for no reason.

The next day, Shen Yuchuan walked out of the room with a yawn. Before going down the stairs, he smelled the scent of food.

He froze for a moment, then immediately returned to the room, and took a careful look at the mirror on the bathroom sink. After making sure that the hair was not messed up, the chin is not stubble, and the corners of the eyes were clear, he patted the wrinkles on the home clothes and went out again.

“Good morning, Teacher Shen!” Jiang Rui turned her head to greet him when she heard the movement, her tone brisk.

After sleeping, she returned to her usual state, with her hair tied into a simple ponytail. She is wearing a large T-shirt and an apron and she is frying eggs in the kitchen.

“Good morning.” Shen Yuchuan looked at her for a long time before saying.

Jiang Rui said with embarrassment: “I was so hungry just now and there is no breakfast shop nearby, so I borrowed Teacher Shen’s kitchen without authorization.”

“It’s okay, but there doesn’t seem to be food in the kitchen.”

“This is true. It seems that Teacher Shen doesn’t open fire very much. I searched for a long time before I found a pack of rice and a few eggs. Then I took a pack of seaweed and dried meat from the snack basket in the living room.”

There are two bowls of white porridge and two fried eggs on the kitchen counter. Jiang Rui grinds the crispy seaweed and sprinkles them on the white porridge and fried eggs. The dried meat is cut into the size of the mouth and placed on a plate.

“Okay, if Teacher Shen doesn’t dislike it, you can make do with me to eat.”

Outside the kitchen is the dining room, the dining table is long, and the two sit facing each other.

Shen Yuchuan took a sip of porridge. Although there are not many ingredients, the rice is good, which is fragrant and smooth in the mouth, and has the salty aroma of seaweed, which can easily arouse people’s appetite.

“It’s delicious,” He said.

Jiang Rui smiled happily, “No matter if what Teacher Shen said is true or polite, I will accept it as a compliment.”

Shen Yuchuan also smiled at the corner of his eyes, “Of course, it is true.”

Halfway through breakfast, Jiang Rui said, “It was really too much trouble for Teacher Shen last night. I will go out to find a house in a while.”

His hands paused. Shen Yuchuan slowly put down the spoon, as if he was brewing something. After a long while, he suddenly said, “Stay here.”

Jiang Rui was stunned for a moment and quickly joked: “I want to stay, but I really can’t afford the rent for Teacher Shen.”

“You don’t have to pay rent, just live here and stay here.”

The smile on her face could not be sustained, her eyelashes trembled like butterflies in the wind, shaking quickly. Jiang Rui’s tone was panicked, “I know that Teacher Shen is kind, but such words are really easy to be misunderstood, so don’t say them in the future.”

Shen Yuchuan solemnly sat up straight and looked straight into her eyes, “I know the occasion is not right now and it is not romantic at all, but there are some things that must be said now.”

He paused and cleared his throat, “I like you.”

Both are wearing home clothes, with slippers under their feet, and a bowl of porridge in front of them. Such an occasion is not at all suitable for a confession.

But Shen Yuchuan felt it would be too late if he did not say anything.

Although according to his plan, this link will not come so early. But what happened last night let him know that sometimes the plan is useless.

“I—” Jiang Rui’s cheeks were red and she dared not look at him.

“I think you like me too.” Shen Yuchuan used affirmative sentences.

Jiang Rui suddenly covered her face.

Shen Yuchuan said again: “The two of us like each other and I don’t accept a negative answer.”

Jiang Rui seemed to finally not be able to help it and squeezed a word from her fingers angrily: “Why are you doing this…it’s not reasonable.”

“But what I said makes sense.”

Jiang Rui glared at him shyly and annoyed, “Even if what you said makes sense, then the two of us are only confessing our love today. How can we live together after confessing?”

Shen Yuchuan snorted, “In the original plan, it really shouldn’t be so fast. Now it is a special situation. And we can temporarily not sleep in the same room, which is not considered cohabitation.”

“Absurd, it’s all absurd.” Jiang Rui muttered as if there was nothing she could do about it, she stuffed a mouthful of porridge into her mouth as if giving up.

Upon seeing this, Shen Yuchuan also picked up the spoon again. He took it with his left hand, especially freed his right hand, crossed the table, and went to hold Jiang Rui’s left hand on the table.

Jiang Rui stared at him with rounded eyes.

He is confident: “We are boyfriend and girlfriend now, we can hold hands.”

“Then you don’t need to hold it while eating.” Jiang Rui was speechless, scratching his palm with her little finger like revenge.

Shen Yuchuan held her tighter.

There was a sudden noise at the door, Xiao Chen opened the door with a key and came in. Because of the angle, he stood at the entrance and could only see Shen Yuchuan at the dining table. He was surprised: “Brother Shen got up so early today? I brought fried buns, you ate them while they were hot.”

He changed his shoes and entered the door, walked around the covered potted plants, saw Jiang Rui sitting on the other side of the dining table, and immediately stood still, “Xiao Xia? Why are you here?”

When he saw the hands of the two clasped, even the fried buns in his hands fell to the ground, “You, you…”

Who can tell him what happened? Obviously, everything was still as usual before going to bed last night. Why did he miss the eighteenth episode when he got up early this morning and the two people directly hooked up?!
