The bereavement boss, he is crooked behind my back

Chapter 108 A Common Umbrella Under a Heavy Rain

"I won't quarrel with him, Ruan Yuan, you can go back with me." Lu Qiqi was about to slam her chin on his desk to act cute.

"Qiqi?" A man's head poked out from the front door, with silver-rimmed eyes, and his facial features were well-proportioned, like an elite, "I'm here to pick you up."

When she heard the words, she turned her head to look at the man, withdrew all her expressions and said in a slightly irritable tone, "Where's my mother?"

"I think the rain is a bit heavy, so I asked your mother to wait in the car." The man was as gentle as jade, and he was about to lift the schoolbag behind her when he walked in.

"I don't want you to carry it on your back!" She shook off Zhao Xun's hand with the same force that she shook off Zhao Xun.

The man was not annoyed either, he seemed to be used to it, "Okay, I won't recite it, can I carry it?"

Lu Qiqi showed a conflicted expression of "the dog skin plaster is extremely sticky".

"You don't need to carry it!" Then he wanted to persuade Ruan Yuan to go back with her.

"I said, get away from me," Ruan Yuan slowly raised his eyelids, his dark eyes blowing the cold wind outside, "It's so noisy."

She knew that she had stepped on his bottom line, so she had no choice but to give up.

"See you tomorrow then."

Ruan Yuan bowed his head and didn't want to pay attention.

When Zhao Xun waited for Lu Qiqi to turn around, he intentionally bumped into Ruan Yuan's desk, causing him to draw the answer area with a horizontal stroke.

He didn't look up, just held the black pen in silence, then picked up the correction tape and painted slowly.

This level of provocation is really boring.

The man gave him a slight look, then turned his head and smiled at Zhao Xun: "Xiao Xun, let's go home together."

"Thank you, Uncle Zhang." Zhao Xun thanked politely.

The two of them are neighbors and their relationship has always been very good.

So whenever a family comes to pick them up, they will naturally pick up the children of the other family.

Lu Qiqi snatched one of the umbrellas from the man's hand, and walked into the rain by herself, quickly leaving the two of them behind.

The man lightly touched Zhao Xun's head, and sighed: "I'm sorry, if it wasn't for me, Qiqi wouldn't always boss you around without feeling guilty."

"It's okay, Uncle Zhang," he said firmly, "One day Qi Qi will understand that we are sincerely treating her well."

"I hope so." The man looked at the rain curtain in front of him with deep eyes.

He was well prepared that it would be difficult to be a stepfather, but he never expected that Qi Qi would be so difficult to coax. The better she treats her, the more she resists, and she tramples his sincerity on the ground as a matter of course.

So... what was she thinking?

"Ruan Yuan." Ye Zhi called out from the back door, as if she had just gone to the bathroom.

After Ruan Yuan repaired the last bit of his tail and turned his head to look, he simply sent out a question mark with his eyes.

She went to the seat to carry her schoolbag, and shook the umbrella in her hand: "Shall we walk back together? This umbrella is big enough for the two of us. If we don't leave now, we won't be able to walk when it rains heavily."

He turned to look out the window.

The dark clouds were overwhelming, and there was indeed a tendency of torrential rain.

He dialed his watch again, and found that it was empty, and there was no message from Shi Yi, so he nodded his head.

There are many small hills in City C, so the overall terrain is uneven.

By the time they finally came out from the school gate, the toes of their shoes were completely soaked.

Ye Zhi is a little shorter than Ruan Yuan, in order to prevent the rain from hitting him, she purposely tilted the handle of the umbrella towards him.

So he lifted it with great difficulty, and walked very slowly in the blurred vision.

A minute later, Ruan Yuan held the handle of the umbrella: "I'll lift it."

"No, no, I can do it." She thought he wanted to show the spirit of a gentleman and quickly refused.

"I'll come," he said softly, making people feel that he didn't care about anything, "you're too slow."

At this speed, it is estimated that I will not be able to go back in an hour.

He didn't want to waste time on it.

Ye Zhi opened her mouth slightly, and finally squeezed out an um.

Ruan Yuan held the handle of the umbrella in the middle, perfectly separating the distance between them.

So obviously under the same umbrella, she felt that she and him were just two strangers.

There is no downfall in my heart, but I feel that this is Ruan Yuan's character.

A little uncomfortable, there is nowhere to vent.

Ruan Yuan avoided the puddle under his feet, but his mind was on the things of his previous life.

It was also such a heavy rain, and it was she who offered to share the umbrella with him.

But because the poor house was far away from the school, he used her umbrella to send her home first.

The journey was originally quiet and joyful, and I wish I could break a section of the road into two sections and walk slowly.

But the moment she saw her mother, all the good emotions turned into mess.

He still remembers how much Ye Zhi's mother looked at his worn clothes with disdain.

And when Ye Zhi returned home, he quietly hid under the window sill of her house, and heard her mother's disgusting words, "That kid has no future, you are not allowed to get so close to him in the future."

At that moment, he clenched his fists and just wanted to rush in to defend himself.

But in the next second, Ye Zhi's obedient words came out, "Good mother, I will only discuss studies with him in the future."

His world suddenly cracked and shattered.

At a fork in the road, Ye Zhi suddenly stopped him, "My house turns left and your house turns right, so—"

"Let's go here," Ruan Yuan pinched Yu Yu and returned the umbrella handle to her, "I'll rush back by myself."

She stared blankly at his rapidly disappearing back, feeling her mood hit the ground like the rain.

"I said why you haven't come back so late." Suddenly a woman rushed over from the left, "So you want to chat with the male classmate?!"

Ye Zhi quickly shook her head: "No, it's just that he didn't have an umbrella so I gave him a ride. Didn't he run in another direction just now?"

Ye Tingyu calmed down a little: "Who is that boy? How is his grades and his family?"

"He was the first in the class in the midterm exam, and his family background...is similar to ours." She tried to make Ruan Yuan feel better.

"Who is in his family?" Ye Tingyu is not a fool.

"……elder brother."

"Just one brother? Raise him?"

Ye Zhi drooped her brows and eyes: "Yes."

"It's better than our family." Ye Tingyu wiped the water from her hair. "In the future, we should spend less time with people from poor families, and just talk to him and study more."

She bit her lower lip subconsciously, and the words that she was about to compromise were beyond words.

But in the next moment, he still looked around and said to him: "Mom, I'm hungry, go back quickly."

Ye Tingyu didn't think much, but felt that her daughter had acquiesced, so she nodded: "Let's go."

*
In the emergency room, the red light of Do Not Disturb during the operation was always on.

Shi Yi and the others waited outside, mostly in fear.

Yi Yi Ji suddenly elbowed Shi Yi: "You were the last one to check Miss Bai's horse, why didn't you find anything unusual? It's all right, why did Miss Bai's foot get caught in the stirrup?"

"There is no problem with the stirrups." She sat down in the waiting area next to her and propped her head with her hands. "There are no horses either."

"Then why is it like this?" Na Chang Ji turned to look at the horse trainer, "Xiao Chu, have you found the problem?"
