Chapter 47
Chapter 46
"Dropped?"
Shen Mo was stunned, he didn't expect Jiang Xiaosi to drop out of school, was it because of what he said yesterday? Because he didn't want to be her mentor anymore, or because of his refusal?
"She has only been in school for less than a year, how can she give up so easily, Jiang Liu, as her guardian, you should understand what is best for her, how can you always let her do whatever she wants, and be self-willed."
Jiang Liu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, without expression, but Shen Mo knew he was sneering.
"Professor Shen, I think you made a mistake. It's not that Xiao Si wants to drop out of school. It's my idea. I just know what's best for her, so I don't want her to stay here. We all understand, how about Open the skylight and speak frankly. Xiao Si likes you, but you only treat her like a child, and sooner or later she will be sad. Do you think it is good for her to grow up if she continues to stay in T University?"
Shen Mo stood up slowly, walked to the window, looked at the playground below, feeling restless.
"If you have prejudiced against me because of what happened that day, I apologize to you. The circumstances were special at that time, and we had no choice but to get married."
"Shen Mo, you don't have children, so you don't understand how a father feels. If marriage is a last resort, then what's the matter with a kiss?"
Shen Mo sighed and closed his eyes.
"Honestly, I don't know."
Jiang Liu was shocked, he thought that Shen Mo would explain something, but he actually said that he didn't know! Taking a step back and slowly leaning back in the chair, panic struck again, almost swallowing him.
Seeing Jiang Liu's suddenly pale face, Shen Mo felt guilty.
"Don't get me wrong, I really have nothing to Xiaosi, and I never will. She is a smart child and one of my best students, but that's all. I have to have nothing to do with what happened that day." For an explanation, I can only say that I thought I could sit still at any time, and it seems that I overestimated myself. You can completely treat me as a despicable villain and a teacher in vain, and I can resign immediately. But Jiang Xiao Si is a good seedling, she should receive a good education in school, avoid contact with ghosts, there is absolutely no need to drop out of school because of me. I have already changed her tutor, I believe she will be able to adapt soon."
Jiang Liu's eyes seem to see another Zhao disease through distant time and space.
He knew how to treat Xiao Si well, but he didn't want to lose her, so he shook his head stubbornly.
"I understand Xiao Si's character, and I know that you are not responsible for these things, but I swore to protect her from any harm no matter what."
Shen Mo frowned: "You can't take her away from every danger. She is a child, and she can't rely on others forever. She needs to learn to grow up by herself, and learn to face a hurtful relationship instead of running away."
Jiang Liu was silent for a long time, but still just picked up the document and put it in front of him.
"What? Moving?" Jiang Xiaosi's chicken legs fell from his mouth.
Jiang Liu stretched out his hand and gently wiped her mouth with a tissue.
"Don't you like the sea, this time let's change to a city by the sea."
"Why do you want to move if you live well? Is it because of the job transfer in the hospital?"
"No, we've lived here for almost two years, and you've only grown up a little, so it's time to change places, so as not to cause trouble."
"Are we still afraid of that little trouble? Dad, I like this place very much. Let's not move, okay? I can't bear Miaoyan and Yueyi and the others."
"Dad listens to you every time, can't you listen to dad once?" Jiang Liu held her hands, his expression still gentle.
"But you also have to tell me the reason?"
"The reason is very simple, I don't want you and Shen Mo to keep in touch."
"Dad, it was really a misunderstanding that time. I was controlled by Lu Lin, and I took the initiative to kiss my mentor. He didn't do anything to me."
"I know, but it's a fact that you like him."
"I...Dad, it's not that you don't object to me having a boyfriend. Before Zhang Qi, you liked him quite a lot. Besides, I'm not young anymore."
"Zhang Qi is Zhang Qi, and Shen Mo is Shen Mo. He is not an ordinary person, he is a Taoist priest, and he is a cold-blooded Taoist priest who rejects aliens. He is busy now and has no time to catch ghosts and demons. But before ...Do you want me to read to you one by one the inhuman names in his hand?"
Jiang Xiaosi lowered his head sadly. Indeed, her identity as a zombie cannot be changed no matter what.
"I have already completed the withdrawal procedures for you, and Shen Mo has also signed. If you like to go to college, I will help you change to another one when the time comes."
Jiang Xiaosi raised his head, his eyes were red, he was hurt by Shen Mo's unfeeling words just now, and now he is being hit again. Only then did she realize that she was more afraid of leaving him than being rejected by Shen Mo.
She doesn't want it anymore, she doesn't ask Shen Mo to accept her being with her, she just wants to listen to his lectures as before, be his student, and accompany him to investigate the case, the two of them don't force her to leave, okay? .
Jiang Liu couldn't help but soften when he saw her little rabbit eyes. He hated himself for being soft-hearted, and he had clearly expected this day to come. If he had been more ruthless and stopped him earlier, he would not have become what he is now.
"Xiao Si, do you like Shen Mo that much?"
Jiang Xiaosi nodded heavily: "He rejected me, I feel sad, but Dad, you said we are going to leave, and I will never see him again, I feel like I am going to die. Dad, let's not move, okay? At least Don't move for now, before he finds out who I am. I won't mess around, I just need to be with him for a while longer to be satisfied. I know what you said is right, and it's all for my own good, but I I really can't bear it."
"Xiao Si, even if there are beads, he will see that you will not grow up for a long time, and sooner or later your identity will be revealed."
"I will leave when he suspects. Besides, people have feelings, no matter how much he hates me, after all, a teacher-student relationship will never hurt my life."
Jiang Liu shook his head helplessly: "Xiao Si, I'm not afraid that he will hurt your life, but I'm afraid that he will hurt your heart. You think everything too simply, and emotional matters are hard to control. When you met Shen Mo, Don't you think it's impossible to like him?"
Jiang Xiaosi lowered his head and asked himself, can she really just stay by his side silently, even if he despises herself, even if he waits until the day he gets married and has children?
Jiang Liu hugged her and stroked her hair: "You have grown up, dad respects your choice, and I hope you understand dad's painstaking efforts."
Jiang Xiaosi began to hesitate, and could only nod slightly. Her father loves her the most, and she has been dependent on each other for so many years. If her father insists on leaving, she will not stay for Shen Mo.
