God Made Incompatibility - Chapter 23
I am different from Chu Yang. Since Meng Chuyang was not born, Meng Wanji realized this fact when she watched Li Yuanshu stroke her pregnant belly with a loving expression she had never seen before.
Preference for this kind of thing, which she never had and never expected. But at this moment, Sheng Jinshu was standing under the street lamp, looking at her, blatantly and for granted.
Meng Wanji’s heart was suddenly and gently wrapped by warm water.
Impossible not to be soft.
“When?” she asked softly.
The smile on Sheng Jinshu’s lips instantly deepened: “Thursday night?”
Thursday? Meng Wanji’s heart thumped, and then she thought it was just a coincidence. She reminded: “There is a late supervision on Thursday.”
Sheng Jinshu didn’t care: “Can’t you have a late night snack?”
Meng Wanji hesitated for a second, but did not refuse. “As you like.”
She moved her wrist slightly.
Sheng Jinshu let go and walked beside her.
The autumn wind was cool, and dead leaves fell from time to time on the sidewalk trees. Sheng Jinshu stretched out his hand to catch a leaf, just opened his mouth and said “you…” and stopped abruptly.
Meng Wanji’s skirt fluttering in the corner of her eye disappeared.
She stopped and turned around strangely, and saw Sheng Jinshu standing next to the water cover, with her head lowered, her skirt slightly lifted, and one leg moved, as if she was a little unbalanced, and stopped again.
“My heel is stuck.” She looked up at her, a little pitiful and a little helpless.
Meng Wanji was stunned for a while, looking at her high heels, she suddenly smiled and couldn’t help but want to spill out.
Sheng Jinshu was dissatisfied: “Mr. Xiao Meng, are you gloating at the misfortune?”
Meng Wanji didn’t argue. She approached and helped her: “You hold me and try again.”
Sheng Jinshu was rude and replied, “Okay.”
She put one hand around her neck and put it on her shoulder on the other side. The whole person was very close to her, and the softness of her chest, along with the movement of her feet, seemed to be close to Meng Wanji. .
Meng Wanji’s breathing slowed down, and her body began to heat up.
She subconsciously looked for a topic: “What did you want to say just now?”
Sheng Jinshu turned his ankle and slowly unscrewed the heel. She raised her head to look at Meng Wanji and wanted to answer, but she found her red ears first.
“I forgot.” She deliberately didn’t bring up the remaining little bit of detail immediately, and half leaned on her and said, “But now I have another question I want to ask.”
Meng Wanji asked, “What?”
Sheng Jinshu said, “If it doesn’t rain tomorrow, will you run in the morning?”
It is an inquiry and an invitation.
On the night she came back from the National Day trip, Sheng Jinshu also asked her. That day, she said, “Don’t run.”
Today, her eyes fell on the high heels that Sheng Jinshu had just escaped from, and a little ripple appeared in her eyes.
“If you won’t let me save your shoes again,” she replied.
Sheng Jinshu smiled nicely in her ear.
It didn’t rain the next day, Meng Wanji got up early and ran as usual, Sheng Jinshu had already changed into a sports suit and washed in the bathroom. The two of them tacitly understood and went out together after washing up.
The second day, and the third day.
Sheng Jinshu didn’t talk much when running, and her endurance was better than Meng Wanji imagined. She could keep up with her rhythm from beginning to end, and occasionally she would turn her head and run backwards when she stopped to rest. Laughing at her: “Mr. Xiao Meng can’t do it anymore.”
Meng Wanji gritted her teeth and felt that she could run another hundred laps.
As soon as she got up on Thursday morning, Meng Wanji heard something was wrong with Sheng Jinshu’s voice. She asked her, “Have you caught a cold?”
Sheng Jinshu took the hot water to moisten his throat: “No. It may be pharyngitis.”
The climate has changed a lot recently, and her throat is not very comfortable. She has recorded several urgent sounds one after another in the past two nights, and her throat suddenly becomes weak.
Meng Wanji pursed her lips and said nothing.
In class at noon, the prep bell rang, and all the people in Sheng Jinshu walked to the classroom of Class 5 when they suddenly remembered that they forgot to take the thermos cup. She turned back to the office and was about to reach the door. She glanced inadvertently, but saw Meng Wanji standing in front of her desk from the window.
As the class time approached, Meng Wanji was the only one in the entire office.
Meng Wanji opened the small box on her desk that was specially used to store snacks and cakes for students, as well as the snacks and candy the students gave her, and put two square bags inside.
Sheng Jinshu was stunned for a while, but did not continue to move forward, and turned back to class five as if he had not seen anything.
The only time a week, one or two classes in the afternoon are all in English. After the first get out of class, Sheng Jinshu couldn’t wait to ask Wu Ling, the class representative, to help her go to the office to fetch water, and help her get the throat lozenges in the box.
Not long after, Wu Ling really came back with a cup and throat lozenges that shouldn’t be there. “Teacher, is this it?”
“Yes.” She took it, it was the package she had just seen in Meng Wanji’s hand.
Sheng Jinshu opened it and took one. The faint smell of traditional Chinese medicine spread over the taste buds, but the sweetness reached my heart.
At 9:00 p.m., the classroom was as bright as day and quiet. The students were immersed in their homework, and Meng Wanji was at his desk writing materials.
The screen of the mobile phone suddenly lit up, and the caller displayed two rare big characters “Mama”. Meng Wanji was stunned for several seconds before she realized it, picked up the phone and walked out of the classroom.
She walked vainly, with some indistinct anticipation in her heart, and answered the phone at the corner of the unmanned stairs.
“It’s me.” Li Yuanshu’s voice was light.
She went straight to the point and asked Meng Wanji what she thought of Chi Yejin’s teaching at Ningwai.
Before Chi Ye returned to Ningcheng, he was a history teacher in a public school in the city where he grew up. In terms of teaching qualifications, although Ningwai’s recruitment requirements were not completely up to standard, it was not completely impossible.
Meng Wanji’s mood subsided, and responded to Li Yuanshu: “It’s very suitable.”
Li Yuanshu is very satisfied with this answer. She said, “Your father can’t make any sense.”
Meng Wanji knew what she was calling for. She consciously responded to her unspoken request: “I’ll talk to Dad later.”
Li Yuanshuying: “Yes.” After a few seconds of silence, she hung up the phone without saying a word.
Meng Wanji stared at the page where the call ended.
I don’t know when the school bell rang.
“How are you?” Sheng Jinshu asked her with a smile as she walked up the stairs against the flow of students leaving get out of class.
Meng Wanji’s eyes moved with her.
She looked like she had dressed up from the dormitory on purpose. With her hair half tied, she changed into a navy blue shirt, and loosened the two buttons at the neckline, which was loose, revealing the white neck and exquisite collarbone chain inside, mature and casual yet slightly charming.
Meng Wanji suddenly felt a light smile. She locked the screen of her phone and replied, “Well, I’ll go back to the classroom to collect some things.”
Sheng Jinshu leaned against the stair railing with a sincere look: “Then I’ll wait for you here.”
Passing students greeted her from time to time, amazed that she looked so good tonight, whether she just came back from a date somewhere, Sheng Jinshu responded one by one without denying it.
Meng Wanji was a little fortunate. She chose new clothes today. Although she was still upright, she was not neglectful.
The two went back to the office together, and Sheng Jinshu went downstairs and led her to the east gate near the teaching building.
Meng Wanji thought she was going to take her to a nearby night market for a late-night snack, but when she left the east gate, she saw her flamboyant Wrangler parked in a temporary parking space at a glance.
“Is it far?” she asked.
Sheng Jinshu joked: “Afraid that I will sell you?”
Meng Wanji looked at her for two seconds, with interest flashing in her eyes, she didn’t speak any more, and went straight around the front of the car.
Sheng Jinshu laughed silently. She opened the car door, turned the direction, and drove out of the area outside Ningwai.
When the car got on the Third Ring Road, the hustle and bustle of the city gradually faded away. There were fewer and fewer vehicles on the road, and the buildings on both sides became sparser and sparser. Finally, even the street lights became dimmer.
Sheng Jinshu drove the car to Panshan Road.
Countless turns circle around, like there is no end. The unknown road ahead, and the howling wind, stimulated Meng Wanji’s adrenaline secretion. This was the first time she had taken such a nighttime mountain road, and several times she had been frightened by the tree shadows suddenly illuminated by the headlights, so she forgot to breathe. But she didn’t ask “where is this” or “where are you going to take me”.
She lowered the window of the car and breathed in the fresh breath of the mountains and forests. The nervous, novel, exciting and inexplicable feeling of freedom relieved her dullness of the past few days.
Sheng Jinshu noticed her enjoyment, and her red lips curved slightly.
The car finally stopped on a flat muddy ground near the top of the mountain. Sheng Jinshu opened the car door and said, “It’s here.”
Meng Wanji followed and got off the car.
Looking around, in the wilderness, there are verdant mountains and forests, and there is no store in front of the village or behind, and even the lights are far away. Meng Wanji asked with a smile that she didn’t even notice, “Where’s the supper?”
Sheng Jinshu hooked his lips, pointed to the sky, and said, “I don’t have supper, can I use this?”
Meng Wanji raised her head along her fingertips, and only then did she see that on the dark blue sky far away from the city lights, the stars were like a sea, densely packed, and they shone with each other, like a beautiful dream that a reinforced concrete city would not dare to disturb.
Sheng Jinshu climbed onto the hood with ease, and extended his hand to invite Meng Wanji.
Meng Wanji was stunned, unable to resist the temptation, and held her outstretched hand.
The two lay side by side on the roof of the car, looking up at the sky.
Sheng Jinshu asked, “Have you been to this mountain?”
Meng Wanji responded, “No.”
Sheng Jinshu smiled: “I was riding with my friends before I went abroad, and I discovered it by accident. When I was a child, I often went to the wild and saw many stars like this. In the city, I only saw them here.”
She rested her arm, turned her head to look at her, and said, “This is my secret base.”
Meng Wanji’s heart moved with the stars in the sky.
She asked, “Secret base, how did you bring me here?”
Sheng Jinshu did not speak.
Meng Wanji tilted her head and bumped into her eyes.
There was wind in the mountains, and a pool of stars swept across her eyes.
The chirping of insects and birds seemed to have suddenly stopped, and only the beating of the heart could be heard clearly.
Sheng Jinshu raised his upper body, approached her, and placed a light kiss on her lips.
“Happy birthday,” she said softly.
