Transmigrated into the body of a villain, I became my sister's savior.
Chapter 156 What's the Relationship?
Zhong Ran had composed herself and touched up her makeup, but her eyes were still a little red and swollen.
A black car was parked at the school gate.
There were many students waiting for the bus in front of the gate, but Lin Jianshen recognized Xia Tingwan at a glance.
She was still dressed in a white T-shirt and jeans, with her hair in a ponytail, and a huge silver suitcase standing next to her.
The National Day holiday is close to the Mid-Autumn Festival in the lunar calendar. Temperatures drop and warm and cold air masses converge, so it is easy to rain during this period.
The weather forecast also says there's a 60% chance of rain today.
The sky was overcast.
Therefore, Xia Tingwan was also holding a folding umbrella in her hand.
Zhong Ran said, "Judging from this, it's not easy to get a taxi around Donghai University."
"Go pick up your sister, I'll have the driver take you both home on the way."
Lin Jianshen said, "It's already a lot of trouble for you to bring me here."
"I'd be so sorry to trouble you again."
After venting her emotions, Zhong Ran was clearly in a better mood, and a bright smile appeared on her face: "Don't worry, I wasn't going anywhere in the first place."
"I just took a car out for a casual drive to relax and clear my head."
"Now I have achieved my goal."
Lin Jianshen smiled and said, "Then thank you, Miss Zhong."
Zhong Ran said, "If anyone should be thanking someone, it's me who should be thanking you."
Zhong Ran has many contacts in her phone, but there isn't a single one among them who can listen to her troubles.
Many people in modern society are like this: they have acquaintances all over the world, but no true friends.
The special connection and the experience in the car softened Zhong Ran's tone: "You don't have to be so polite. Okay, go pick them up."
"If we delay any longer, it might rain."
Xia Tingwan looked at the black car door opening in surprise.
A foot wearing a leather shoe sticks out and steps on the ground.
The black leather shoes had a pattern, and above them was a section of black socks without a logo.
Above that are high-quality black suit trousers.
The fabric has a draping texture.
Xia Tingwan thought to herself, "He looks all respectable, but he's not as good as my brother Ashen."
The pair of black leather shoes moved quickly toward her.
Xia Tingwan slightly raised her gaze and saw Lin Jianshen walking towards her.
He has reduced his body fat significantly and looks handsome and dashing.
If you look closely, you can see a faint melancholy between his brows.
Bright and clear as the sun and moon embrace me, yet as fragile as a jade mountain about to collapse.
Xia Tingwan thought to herself, "I was wondering who was so handsome, but it turns out it's Brother Ashen. Oh well, it's alright now."
A girl nearby gasped softly, and someone else took out their phone to take pictures.
Lin Jianshen stepped forward and grabbed the handle of the suitcase.
Xia Tingwan, carrying her schoolbag, took a step forward and hugged him.
Lin Jianshen patted her shoulder and whispered in her ear, "You don't need to act here."
Xia Tingwan also stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear, "This isn't acting; it's perfectly normal for a younger sister to hug her older brother."
She blew a warm breath into Lin Jianshen's ear and giggled, "You're not allowed to push me away."
Lin Jianshen hugged her for a few seconds before saying, "Alright, my colleague is dropping us off today, and they're waiting for us."
Xia Tingwansong said, "Oh, okay, then I'll go say hello."
She was just about to let go of him when she suddenly frowned.
There was a long hair on his shoulder, which clearly wasn't hers.
It also has a women's perfume scent.
Xia Tingwan narrowed her eyes, concealing the dangerous glint within.
Lin Jianshen was unaware that he had accumulated a prize pool, and he pulled his suitcase to the trunk of the Zunjie.
When he put the suitcase in, he noticed that there seemed to be only two books inside, which were rolling around inside.
It wasn't like she said at all; it was filled with books and was extremely heavy.
"Strange, it's just two books, wouldn't it be better to put them in a backpack?" Lin Jianshen muttered to himself.
After putting his things away, he opened the car door and found that Xia Tingwan was already sitting in the back seat.
This is the executive version of the car, with only four seats.
Lin Jianshen could only sit in the passenger seat.
As the car started, Xia Tingwan said, "Sister Zhong Ran, it's been a long time! I'm so grateful that you made a special trip to pick me up."
Zhong Ran laughed and said, "Anyway, I had nothing to do today, so I came with your brother."
Xia Tingwan said, "Wow, I never expected my brother to have such influence that he could actually invite such a beautiful woman like you."
"You two must have a very good relationship."
Zhong Ran remained noncommittal: "I have a special connection with your brother."
As she said this, her tone softened.
Xia Tingwan keenly noticed the change in her tone.
His gaze swept over Zhong Ran's profile—her eyes still had a slight redness and swelling that hadn't subsided.
Why is she crying?
Why did she cry in front of Lin Jianshen?
The perfume Lin Jianshen was wearing smelled the same as the perfume Zhong Ran was wearing.
This means that she was not only crying, but she was also crying while leaning on Lin Jianshen's shoulder.
There was some distance between the two seats, so it was quite awkward to cry while leaning on Lin Jianshen's shoulder.
What is their relationship now?
These problems, like worms, were slowly gnawing at her heart.
Xia Tingwan's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and there was a small shadow under her eyes.
"Sister Zhong Ran, what do you think of my brother?"
Lin Jianshen, sitting in the passenger seat, subconsciously glanced at Xia Tingwan in the rearview mirror upon hearing this.
She smiled with her eyes crinkling, looking completely harmless.
But Lin Jianshen already knew her quite well.
He knew that she wasn't as happy as she appeared; in fact, she was somewhat angry.
Zhong Ran was slightly taken aback, then chuckled, "Why are you asking such a question?"
"No, no," Xia Tingwan shook her head, her ponytail swaying along with her voice, her tone carrying a girlish charm.
"I'm just curious. My brother is usually a quiet person and doesn't interact with people much."
"It's rare to have such a beautiful woman like you as his friend, so I wanted to find out more about the situation."
She spoke reasonably, like a sister who cares about her brother.
For some reason, even though nothing had happened between Lin Jianshen and Zhong Ran, and they were just friends at most, Lin Jianshen felt inexplicably guilty.
He shifted his body slightly, feeling the restraint of the seatbelt.
"Actually, Miss Zhong and I..."
Xia Tingwan interrupted him: "Brother... it's not nice for you to interrupt when we girls are chatting."
Lin Jianshen had no choice but to shut his mouth.
Zhong Ran said, "Your brother is a man with a story."
Xia Tingwan said, "You could even tell that?"
Zhong Ran said, "Some people can recognize a person by their handwriting style, but I can recognize a person by their acting skills."
"The method actor, who has not received any special training, can act so well. He must be very sensitive and have many stories hidden in his mind."
Xia Tingwan said, "Actually, my brother is a really good person, but unfortunately his financial situation isn't very good, so I'm afraid he won't be able to find a girlfriend."
Zhong Ran laughed and said, "It's okay, I'll just find a rich girlfriend."
Looking at the luxurious starry sky ceiling in the car, Xia Tingwan imagined a little figure in her mind, pinning Lin Jianshen to the ground and beating him mercilessly.
Good, good, she's only been in school for less than a month and he's already flirting with other women.
They didn't even mind that he was poor.
The car finally arrived at the entrance of the alley where they lived.
Lin Jianshen thanked Zhong Ran.
The black Zunjie S800 turned around and drove away.
Sitting in the car, watching the street scenes rushing past, Zhong Ran muttered to himself, "Does his sister really feel this way about him?"
Lin Jianshen returned home carrying his suitcase.
The two put their things down first, and then Lin Jianshen rode his motorcycle with Xia Tingwan to a large supermarket a little further away, where they bought a lot of things and came back.
The house has been uninhabited for almost a month, and there is a thin layer of dust on the table and floor.
Lin Jianshen was cooking in the kitchen, while Xia Tingwan was cleaning the house.
Fortunately, the house is small, so it's quick to clean.
An hour later, Lin Jianshen had finished cooking, and Xia Tingwan had finished cleaning.
The two sat at the dining table and ate.
Lin Jianshen prepared four dishes.
Braised pork ribs, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, steamed Wuchang fish, and garlic shrimp.
These are all dishes that Xia Tingwan likes to eat.
The two sat at the dining table, the sky outside the window was gloomy, and the wind occasionally rattled the windows.
The warm yellow light inside the house illuminated the steaming dishes, creating a cozy atmosphere.
I don't know why, but Xia Tingwan didn't say much tonight.
The two were eating when someone suddenly knocked on the door.
