Chapter 20 Dropping Out

When Jiang Sui woke up the next day, the sun was already high in the sky.

Xiao Hai was the only one downstairs, busy working on the workbench.

Jiang Sui asked him where Si Nian had gone. Xiao Hai shook his head and said he didn't know, as Si Nian didn't tell him when she left.

Not seeing Si Nian, Jiang Sui went back upstairs again.

On the table on the second floor, Jiang Sui found the breakfast that Si Nian left for him, two fried dough sticks, a cup of soy milk, and a note underneath the soy milk.

"I have to go out for something. If I can't make it back by noon, you and Xiao Hai can order takeout."

Jiang Sui stared at the words on the note in a daze.

When she was a child, she thought Sinian's handwriting was excellent, unlike her own crooked and ugly handwriting.

At that time, she often looked at Si Nian's notes and asked him with some melancholy how his handwriting was so beautiful.

Si Nian just rubbed her head and told her, "You are still young. If you keep practicing, you will make progress. Just like when I taught you to learn foreign languages, you will catch up with me in the end!"

Her own handwriting is now acceptable, but seeing that Si Nian's vigorous and powerful handwriting seems to be even better than before, she thinks that no matter how much she practices, she will never be able to catch up.

Only these foreign languages that she had learned since childhood have she persisted in until now, but he gave up at some point in time.

They discussed this topic last night and parted on bad terms.

Jiang Sui sighed softly, picked up a fried dough stick and started eating breakfast.

At this moment, the iron stairs suddenly made a "dong dong" sound. Jiang Sui didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that Si Nian had returned early.

Since Xiao Hai started living here, he basically never goes upstairs except to eat, so Si Nian often takes his meals downstairs for him to eat.

After the sound on the iron stairs disappeared, Jiang Sui could sense a figure standing at the stairs even without looking up.

So she asked while eating, "Didn't you say you might not be back at noon? Why are you back so soon?"

As a result, the person did not respond for a long time, and did not seem to move, just standing at the stairs.

Jiang Sui took a sip of soy milk and looked up at him.

As a result, he almost choked to death on the soy milk.

Jiang Sui lowered her head and coughed violently for a while, but the man slowly walked in and sat opposite her, teasing her in a mild manner.

"Hey, little sister, am I that scary?"

Jiang Sui looked at the person warily and asked, "Who are you?"

When Wu Chunhao arrived at Sinian's store, Xiaohai was the only one in the store. As soon as Xiaohai saw him, he told him that Sinian was not there.

Wu Chunhao didn't care. He walked to the stairs and said, "It's okay. I'll go upstairs and wait for him!"

By the time Xiao Hai realized that Jiang Sui was upstairs and wanted to stop him, he had already reached there.

Wu Chunhao went to bed early for once last night, but was woken up by a phone call from Si Nian. He couldn't fall asleep after that.

I went to discuss the work we talked about last night with Si Nian early in the morning. I wanted to catch up on some sleep and wait for Si Nian, but I didn't expect to encounter an accident.

When he was at the stairs, he had been looking at Jiang Sui for a while.

The girl looked young, just an adult, and looked pure and innocent, with a pair of clear peach blossom eyes. It was unclear whether she was Xiaohai's friend or Si Nian.

Ke Sinian never contacts any girls in private, let alone brings them back to the store.

But Xiaohai wouldn’t bring his friends to his workplace, right?

When he was guessing the girl's identity, she actually spoke, as if she mistook him for Si Nian.

So he was sure and very surprised that Si Nian had actually started to get in touch with girls and even had a mistress in his house.

Oh, no, at most he is now a man hiding his mistress in a shabby house, because he is no longer a rich young master.

When the girl found out that he was not Sinian, she was so frightened that she choked.

Fortunately, nothing happened, otherwise Si Nian would have torn him apart!

When the girl asked him cautiously who he was, he kept it a secret and did not give a direct answer.

Wu Chunhao raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Sui with a smile, "Guess?"

"Are you Brother Nine's friend?"

Jiang Sui wondered suspiciously, if it was Xiaohai's friend, and Xiaohai didn't come upstairs, how could his friend come upstairs?

If he was an ordinary customer in the store, Xiao Hai would not allow him to come up.

There is only one possibility, he might be an acquaintance of Si Nian.

But considering that even Xie Xingzhou didn't know Si Nian's real name, Jiang Sui simply used the name they often called Si Nian to test this person.

Wu Chunhao raised his eyebrows again. The little girl was quite smart. Si Nian's vision was indeed good.

"Hey, little sister, why don't you tell me who you are first, and then I'll tell you who I am, okay?"

Jiang Sui rolled his eyes at her and said seriously, "First of all, I'm not young anymore. I'm an adult."

She cleared her throat and continued, "Secondly, I don't want to know who you are. The fact that you were able to go up to the second floor and Xiao Hai didn't stop you means you are someone they know."

After Jiang Sui finished speaking, he continued to slowly drink the soy milk in his hand, which had become a little cold.

Wu Chunhao's grin widened even further.

This girl is interesting.

"Hey, you haven't told me who you are yet?"

Jiang Sui raised his eyes and looked at him again, thinking that since he was an acquaintance of theirs, it didn't matter what he said.

"I am Brother Nine's sister."

When Jiang Sui saw that person finish listening, his eyes widened in surprise.

He paused for a moment before continuing to ask her, "Are you from the Si family?"

Jiang Sui shook his head.

Why would he ask that?

Doesn’t he know Si Nian’s current relationship with the Si family?

"And who are you?"

Wu Chunhao was confused.

He and Si Nian have known each other for some years. Apart from the cousin in the Si family, where did this sister come from?

Jiang Sui saw that he was confused, but she didn't plan to explain it to him in detail.

He just said lightly, "I just came from the Northeast not long ago."

"Damn it! How could I have forgotten this? Si Nian grew up in the Northeast!"

Hearing Jiang Sui say this, the man seemed to suddenly wake up and knocked his forehead.

Then he looked at Jiang Sui again and asked seriously, "What's your name? Is there a character 'Sui' in it?"

Jiang Sui looked at him in confusion, "How did you know?"

"Really?"

Jiang Sui nodded again and said, "My name is Jiang Sui."

Wu Chunhao nodded in understanding. So that's it.

Seeing him like this, Jiang Sui became even more confused.

"Who are you? How do you know there's a sui in my name?"

Wu Chunhao smiled mysteriously and said proudly, "I guessed it!"

It was as good as saying nothing, Jiang Sui was still confused.

"Sinian and my friends all call me Mouse."

"Rat?"

Jiang Sui chuckled and carefully looked at the man sitting opposite her. He didn't look like a mouse at all. He looked more like a big bear.

"Hey, you rude girl, you should call me Brother Mouse."

Jiang Sui tried hard to purse his lips to hold back his laughter, "Oh, Brother Haozi."

"That's good!"

Then Jiang Sui eagerly asked him what his relationship with Si Nian was.

Fortunately, Wu Chunhao no longer kept her in suspense and told Jiang Sui that he was Si Nian’s classmate.

Hearing this, Jiang Sui couldn't help but be even more surprised!

On the day she came, she asked Si Nian whether she was studying or working here, and Si Nian replied that she had stopped studying a long time ago.

So what kind of classmate is this Haozi?

Jiang Sui had questions in his mind, so he asked them directly without hiding anything.

"Which school are you in Si Nian? High school? Or junior high school?"

Jiang Sui remembered that when Si Nian transferred to a school in the south, he was in junior high school.

Wu Chunhao snorted and said, "I didn't even know him at that time! We were college classmates."

College classmates?

Jiang Sui was once again shocked by him and asked questions.

"Sinian went to college?"

She remembered Xie Xingzhou had told her that Si Nian had no diploma, so he had been staying in this small shop and working as a ghostwriter.

Besides, he himself said that he had stopped studying a long time ago, but what about this college classmate?

"What's so strange about this? You are his sister from his hometown, you should know that Si Nian has always been excellent."

Wu Chunhao talked about Si Nian going to college, just like it was normal for people to eat and sleep every day.

But more and more questions arose in Jiang Sui's mind.

"Brother Haozi, which university did you graduate from?"

"What? You want to interview me?"

"Hey, Brother Haozi, stop interrupting me and answer me!"

Seeing Jiang Sui's urgent need to know the answer, Wu Chunhao stopped teasing her.

He told her directly, "I graduated from the Computer Science Department of Shenyang University."

Department of Computer Science, Shenda University...

Then aren’t they Xie Xingzhou’s senior brothers?

No wonder Si Nian and Xie Xingzhou have such a good relationship.

What happened to Kesinian?

Computer Science Department of Shenda University. According to what Xie Xingzhou said, Si Nian is so capable, why would he be content to stay here?

This is obviously illogical!

Jiang Sui's brows gradually twisted into a knot.

"Hey, girl, what are you thinking about? Look at your wrinkled face!"

Jiang Sui didn't hesitate to express his doubts.

"I just don't understand. It shouldn't be difficult to be a senior white-collar worker in the Computer Science Department of Shenda University. Why is Si Nian willing to stay here?"

After hearing this, Wu Chunhao stopped joking with Jiang Sui and sighed seriously.

"What a trick of fate! Who among us could have been as strong as him at that time? What a trick of fate!"

Wu Chunhao's sigh made Jiang Sui even more confused.

She was a little anxious, "Hey, Brother Haozi, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us what's going on!"

Wu Chunhao sighed heavily again before speaking, "He dropped out of college before finishing it."

"Drop out of school?"

The arrival of Brother Haozi today has repeatedly refreshed Jiang Sui's level of shock.

But when she heard the news now, she still couldn't accept it calmly.

What was most difficult for her to believe was that Si Nian did not fail to go to college, but instead went to college and dropped out halfway through.

Wu Chunhao looked at Jiang Sui and nodded again.

"Well, it was probably during our internship in our senior year."

"Then what's the reason?" Jiang Sui asked him again.

This time, Wu Chunhao did not answer her, but stared at Jiang Sui for a while, as if exploring something.

After a while, he got up and took a bottle of ice water from the refrigerator in the kitchen, unscrewed the lid, and drank half of the bottle in one breath.

Then he held the bottle in his hand and pointed at Jiang Sui with only his index finger.

"I won't tell you this. Remember this and don't ask Si Nian. This is his biggest taboo. Be careful or he will turn against you!"

Falling out?

If she really asked him, would he turn against her?

Jiang Sui looked at Wu Chunhao, but was secretly asking himself in his heart.

"Also, just forget about what we talked about today, just pretend I never said anything!"

When the conversation reached this point, Wu Chunhao realized that he had been tricked by the little girl in front of him without realizing it. Fortunately, he finally stopped the topic.

Otherwise he would be letting his brother down again!

"Sister, you must remember not to mention this to Si Nian! Do you understand?"

Wu Chunhao was a little worried that he had said too much today. What if this girl really was...

That would be a serious sin, so he couldn't help but remind Jiang Sui again.

Jiang Sui could only nod silently. Although she really wanted to find out, she also didn't want Si Nian to turn against her.

After all, in her heart, nothing is more important than the love between her and Si Nian.

Love each other...

How did she suddenly think of using this word to describe her relationship with Si Nian?
