Chapter 491



491 it’s rare to have this interest

“I’m fine,” Ren Kexin smiled.

” i’ve been a little harsh. i’m really on good terms with shi yan. i can’t bear to hear others say this, not even you. ” He took a bag of potato chips and handed it to her. here, eat some potato chips. You must be happy when you’re out playing. Don’t let these small things affect your mood.

The girl forced a smile and took the chips from her.

“Yan,” jiang rui was sitting on the other side of shi yan.

“huh?” he turned to look at her.

Jiang Rui looked in Ren Kexin’s direction and raised her chin at Shi Yan with a smile.”did you hear what kexin said?”

“i’ve heard about it.” There was some distance between them, so even with her good hearing, she could only hear a rough idea.

“i only heard a rough idea, but i can guess what they said. I was wondering why Kexin would come here with these unfamiliar schoolmates. It turns out that she’s interested in one of them!”

“which one is dou chao?”

shi yan looked to the left and her gaze fell on the person beside gu tan.

“Oh, so it’s him. He seems to have a low presence when he’s with his classmates. However, upon closer inspection, he was no less handsome than the boys beside him. Usually, this kind of person who can obviously have a strong sense of presence can blend into the crowd and make his presence so low. Many of them are deliberately doing this.”

Seeing Shi Yan looking at her with a smile, Jiang Rui smiled.”Hey, don’t look at me like you didn’t expect me to be so smart. I’m also very smart, okay?”

“But I’m just saying this casually. After all, there are exceptions to everything. But Yan, I’m curious who suggested Kexin and the others come here.”

I saw a rare medicinal herb over there just now and was planning to dig it up. Come with me. Shi Yan said.

jiang rui’s eyes lit up,”sure!” I’ve been busy with the final exams and I haven’t had a good chat with Kexin in a long time.”

the two of them got up. shi yan went to the basket to get the sickle while jiang rui beckoned ren kexin.

The three of them had just left when su mu couldn’t help but say, ” “we might not be able to get anything out of it. if you want to know, just find someone to investigate. Why didn’t you stop him?”

the last sentence was directed at jiang che.

not only did jiang che not stop them, but he, who was always with shi yan, also did not follow them. this somewhat surprised su mu.

Putting down the food in his hands, Jiang che took out a piece of tissue and wiped his fingers elegantly. He looked in the direction where Shi Yan and the other two had walked away and said to su mu, ” “it’s rare that miss shi is willing to play with friends of the same age. why should i stop you?”

others might not know, but he knew very well that miss shi had specially called ren kexin over to ask about this matter only because jiang rui was interested.

she was just playing with her friend. otherwise, such a small matter wouldn’t have piqued her interest.

Su mu suddenly stopped talking.

But he was still a little worried.

since meeting these people here was most likely not a coincidence, was there someone among these people who harbored ill intentions towards yanyan?

Jing Hailan could tell what he was thinking. She patted the back of his hand and said, ” “Don’t think too much. The Jiang family’s fifth Lord and young master Jiang are both here. If something really happens, we can protect sister Yan.”

“Besides, Yan looks like a very confident person. She should know a lot of things. We don’t even know if we can be of any use. instead of worrying about it, we might as well observe who is most likely to have a problem in this group of people. it’s just a pastime.”

her words piqued su mu’s interest, and he began to observe the others.

“fifth uncle, is there anything i can do for you?” jiang cheng wasn’t interested in playing the game of observing people with them and took the initiative to ask jiang che.

“no, i didn’t,”

jiang cheng was just asking casually.

Jiang che could do whatever he could.

Rui ‘er is indeed a little too much. I’ll take her back to Haicheng after two more days. he said that jiang rui was noisy, but he didn’t look like he despised her at all. instead, his expression was very doting.

“it’s almost the new year. fifth uncle, are you really not going back to haicheng? grandmother would very much hope that you and miss shi can spend the new year at home.”

” i’m not going back. tell old mrs. han that i’ll bring miss shi to visit her after the new year. ” Miss Shi wanted to spend the first New Year with him at crescent moon Bay after they met. In fact, he wanted to do the same.

su mu, who happened to hear his words, rolled his eyes.

jing hailan found it funny.

however, she was happy.

all along, su mu had been living a little depressed. it was just that he had hidden it well, so others could not easily detect it. recently, the oppressive aura on his body had dissipated a lot, and he had become more and more lively.

“Shi Yan, is there anything we can do to help?” ren kexin saw shi yan squatting down to dig the herbs. she wanted to help but didn’t know what to do.

“No need, there’s only one good one nearby. I’ll dig it up soon.”

Then, Shi Yan dug up the herbs while Jiang Rui started chatting with Ren Kexin.

“kexin, i’ve never asked you before, but why did you guys come to a small place like wu county? this place was not a popular tourist spot, so few people would come here to play. if yan wasn’t here, i wouldn’t even know about this place.”

“I didn’t know about this place before. I went home to have dinner with a few of my high school friends, and I happened to meet Dou Zhao and a few others and chatted with them.”

at this point, ren kexin laughed in embarrassment, ” “i’m not afraid of you knowing, but i have a good impression of dou zhao. when they were playing at my house, i offered to be their guide for a few days. later on, i found out that they were going out to play. i didn’t want to let go of this opportunity to get to know him more, so i called a few friends to form a group with them.”

“They set the location, so we’ll just follow them.”

” as for why they chose this place, i’m not too sure about the details. i only heard that xu yue saw a few pictures posted on her wechat moments and thought the scenery was pretty good, so she asked where it was. after learning that it was wu county in yun province, they decided to set their next destination here. ”

” i don’t think you know xu yue. she’s one of the girls in our group. she’s liu qi’s girlfriend, the one who often walks with the top student gu tan. ”

Shi Yan and Jiang Rui finally realized who it was.

Shi Yan, who had finished digging the herbs, dusted off the mud on his hands and stood up. so, you guys know about this place. Xu Yue got the information from her friends ‘circle? ”

Ren Kexin wasn’t a fool. Even Shi Yan had asked, so she knew that things weren’t simple.

“Yes, that’s what I heard,” he replied.

“Shi Yan, what’s wrong? Was there a problem? speaking of which, it’s really too much of a coincidence that we ran into you at such a random tourist destination.”
