Chapter 30p2: The Young Miss in the Wheelchair 30
The red apple jumped off the pile of documents and flew around Xi Congshuang. “The host doesn’t need to worry about what happens next. You will already be in the next world, continuing to complete your goals.”
After flying for a while, it couldn’t help but stop on the back of the chair.
Some things couldn’t be said out loud, but the current Xi Congshuang smelled delicious, which made it want to get closer.
It fed on strong emotions, not human flesh and blood.
When it first met her, it had judged that the emotions on Xi Congshuang were very delicious, but she was too sick, and her emotions were not very strong, which made the system very regretful.
But the current Xi Congshuang was very delicious. The strong emotions almost made the system faint from the fragrance. The entanglement, confusion, and the pain she herself hadn’t discovered subconsciously attracted the system.
The red apple said, “To be honest, you are the most likely to complete all the missions I’ve ever seen…” host. I really have high hopes for you.
“Knock, knock, knock.” A knock on the door interrupted the red apple’s next words.
It hurriedly left a sentence, “The heroine is here. You continue to work hard. I won’t disturb you.” Then it turned and disappeared.
“Knock, knock, knock.” The gentle knock sounded again.
Xi Congshuang closed the computer page, turned on the desk lamp, and the study became much brighter. “Come in.”
Outside the door, Cheng Zhishu turned the doorknob, slowly pushed open the solid wood door, and slowly moved in.
Xi Congshuang thought to herself that Cheng Zhishu’s movements were so slow. She looked up and saw her holding the white cat in her hands, blocking her face.
Nao Nao, who had met Xi Congshuang’s gaze: “Meow!”
It struggled to get down, its four paws pawing at Cheng Zhishu’s hands. The moment she let go, the white cat landed nimbly, pushed off with its four legs, and ran to Xi Congshuang’s side, pawing at her blanket.
This little cat was a bit hyperactive and had mischievous paws, always liking to paw at everything in front of it.
Xi Congshuang lowered her head and tapped the cat’s head. “No.”
On the other side, another question was asked, “What about me? Can I?”
Cheng Zhishu, who had just been holding the cat as a shield, squatted beside her, her shoulder touching the wheelchair.
Xi Congshuang’s free hand tapped Cheng Zhishu’s forehead and slowly pushed her away. “You can’t either.”
Cheng Zhishu’s expression looked a bit disappointed. She didn’t insist on asking why, but instead grabbed the hand that was tapping her forehead. “If I can’t, then I can’t.”
“It’s time for dinner. Why don’t we eat first and talk later?”
Xi Congshuang withdrew the hand that was stroking the cat’s head and stroked the other head. “I’ve kept you waiting. I’ll go down now.”
A few days later, Zheng Momo left with her suitcase.
Before leaving, she promised Little Liu and Cheng Zhishu that she would come back with a suitcase full of local specialties, that no one would be left out, and that they would all get to taste the flavors of her hometown.
Li Mi, who was acting as the driver to take her to the airport, had a lollipop in her mouth. “What about me?”
Zheng Momo patted her shoulder. “Of course, of course, of course.”
Only then was Li Mi satisfied. She twirled the car keys in her hand. “Get in.”
As the Spring Festival approached, the Xi residence was decorated anew, and the festive atmosphere gradually grew stronger.
Chairman Xi also returned to the Xi residence to live, and the number of people in the house also increased.
Occasionally, when Cheng Zhishu went out, she would see different strangers, most of them well-dressed and elegant in their speech.
Some even mistook her for a relative of a servant in the house and wanted to call her over to do some work.
“Are you calling me?” Cheng Zhishu was stunned, a little doubtful if they were calling her.
The other person saw her clearly and frantically elbowed the person next to them. “Are you crazy? That’s Xi Congshuang’s person.”
“What? The child Xi Congshuang adopted is this one?”
“I’ve seen her in the company. She was personally brought into Xi Congshuang’s office by Assistant Ni. Who else could it be?”
“Then we must make it up to her.”
From their conversation, it was not difficult to hear their fear of Xi Congshuang, a fear that completely ignored her legs. Just hearing her name made them want to retreat.
After the two of them muttered for a while, they no longer waved for Cheng Zhishu to come over, but came over themselves.
The young man showed a friendly smile. “It’s not convenient to visit Big Sister’s side. This is just a small meeting gift. Please don’t mind.”
It wasn’t the New Year yet, so this red envelope was given at an inappropriate time. And from its thickness, it was very valuable.
Cheng Zhishu took a step back. “You’re too kind. I’m not lacking in anything.”
“…”
She hadn’t looked closely just now, but now that she did, it was true. The clothes Cheng Zhishu was wearing were clearly from a famous designer. From the style, it was likely the same designer as her own.
It was all the fault of not wearing glasses.
The young man was about to say something, but Cheng Zhishu was in a hurry to go back and interrupted their unfinished words. “Don’t worry. I won’t say anything. I was just passing by.”
Although the person’s expression didn’t look very convinced, they still let Cheng Zhishu go.
Away from the lively area, Wenhai became quiet, like a secluded paradise in the midst of the hustle and bustle.
It wasn’t that it was inconvenient for those people to come and visit, but that Xi Congshuang was unwilling to see them, too lazy to deal with them, and had issued an order to see them off in advance.
But recently, more and more people were coming. Instead, it was Chairman Xi and Xi Hanran who liked to come here for some peace and quiet.
Cheng Zhishu held a kite and walked home. It was a swallow kite, exquisite and beautiful.
“Sister, look, it’s a kite.” She was like showing off a treasure, always showing anything she got to Xi Congshuang first.
Xi Congshuang woke up Nao Nao on her lap and put it on the floor. “Why did you bring a kite home after going out? If you want to fly it, you have to go to the golf course behind.”
Cheng Zhishu held the kite high so that Nao Nao couldn’t catch it. “It’s a kite from Shangguan Yin. She asked me to go on an outing and fly kites with her on the sixth day of the new year.”
Hearing this, Xi Congshuang looked at the kite in her hand again. It was indeed very beautiful. “Where are you going to fly it? Did you agree?”
As she spoke, she took out her phone to check the temperature and confirmed that it would be a day with a suitable temperature, and that outdoor activities would not be easy to catch a cold.
Cheng Zhishu shook her head. “Not yet.”
Xi Congshuang asked, “Why not yet? Didn’t you bring the kite home?”
She had thought that the two of them had already made an agreement, which was why Cheng Zhishu had brought the thing home.
“Because I told her I had to go home and ask my sister if she was willing to go with me. If she’s not willing, I won’t go either.” Cheng Zhishu’s tone was righteous, without any fear of being beaten to death by her friend for standing her up.
When she gave her the kite, Shangguan Yin had threatened her in this way, and then she had been angered to death by Cheng Zhishu’s answer, shouting that she couldn’t stand her, this sister-loving girl.
Cheng Zhishu, who was being scolded, didn’t feel that she was being scolded at all. If Xi Congshuang didn’t get married for the rest of her life, she was willing to be a sister-loving girl for the rest of her life.
As long as she could be by her side, it didn’t matter what her identity was.
“…”
Xi Congshuang grabbed Nao Nao again and put it on her lap, not letting it catch the kite.
After a moment of silence, she said, “I might have something to do on the sixth day of the new year. I have to stay at home and discuss it with my grandmother. If you like it, don’t waste the opportunity to go out and play with your friends. Go with Shangguan Yin.”
Shangguan Yin, who was playing games at home, suddenly sneezed.
Cheng Zhishu squatted down and rested her chin on her knee. “I’m just so-so about flying kites. I just like to go out and fly kites with you.”
Xi Congshuang: “…”
The hand under the blanket tightened its grip on her pant leg, just managing to resist the urge to push her away.
Xi Congshuang sighed helplessly. “You’re already in your final year of high school. You’ll have fewer and fewer opportunities to go out and play with your classmates. Are you really not planning to go?”
Cheng Zhishu said decisively, “No. It’s not as comfortable as being at home.”
This was said with righteousness, but the central idea was still the same: If you’re not going, then I’m not going either.
The head resting on her knee was fluffy. Xi Congshuang was surprised to find that she seemed to have grown a lot taller in the past six months. She was gradually shedding the innocence of a young girl, and she could glimpse a bit of her future charm.
The body under her palm was warm and supple. If Xi Congshuang lowered her head, she could smell the fragrance in her hair.
A sentence she had hated the most in the past suddenly echoed in her mind, deafeningly: “…developing unnecessary feelings… is weak…”
The words she thought she had long forgotten gave her a critical hit at this moment, becoming a boomerang that hit her.
As if she had figured something out, Xi Congshuang loosened her clenched fist, looked into Cheng Zhishu’s eyes, and slowly nodded.
“Okay, I’ll go with you.”
—Anyway, there’s not much time left. What’s the harm in indulging a little?
Isn’t that an easier and faster way to complete the mission? It has always been like this. Why hesitate now and put on an act for whom to see?
Cheng Zhishu was happy and showed a brilliant smile. “Okay! I’ll go and tell Shangguan Yin now. She said there’s a villa with a nice view. We can go there to relax and see the scenery.”
She gathered her unnecessary feelings, squeezed and ground them down, and sank them deep inside. The out-of-sync heartbeat gradually returned to calm, and the ripples that had been stirred up dissipated, becoming as still as an ancient well.
Xi Congshuang nodded again and said, “Okay.”
“Collapse value -1. Current collapse value: 14.”
Xi Congshuang felt more and more that this system notification sound was extremely jarring.
