Chapter 86. Later.

Chen Du went straight to the school gate after school, where Chen Jiashu was waiting for him.

He saw her from a distance. She was standing in the shade of a tree, her bag at her feet, and her hair was tied up in a ponytail with her back to him.

She turned her head and was not surprised to see him. Seemingly feeling hot, she pulled down the zipper of the school uniform, and inside was a black exercise uniform with wide shoulders and a large V, revealing a small piece of skin that was just right, with a sense of elegance that was out of tune with the surroundings.

She had just finished her dance practice. Sweat ran down her fair neck. Her pupils were dark, her lips were red, and she was standing at the entrance of the school looking at him.

Chen Du felt that the scene in front of him seemed very familiar¹ He remembered the scene in Chapter 1. Spring Days. In it, they were both looking at each other outside of the school gate. He was about to call out to her, but she turned her head, lifted her school bag, and turned around to walk away with her back to him.

Chen Jiashu did not go to the bus stop. A Mercedes-Benz drove in from the road outside the school. Its imposing, shiny black colour attracted a lot of attention. She pulled open the back seat door and went in, poking her head out of the car in full view. She looked at him with big cat-like eyes, “Come on up.”

Something tickled his metaphorical mouth. Emotions rose and fell in his eyes, and he slowly raised a smile, striding to the car and sitting with her in the back.

“Jiashu’s English is good, but her maths still needs to be strengthened. Even though you are an art student, you can’t slack off in her culture classes.” Chen Jinnan took Chen Jiashu’s paper and analysed it. After reading the papers from a Xueba²A top student or school bully, a.k.a Chen Du, he felt that her paper was not right. She was also his child. How could the gap be so big?

Luckily, it’s not too late. Jiashu was still around, and he could still catch her tail. He could care for her so that she could remember a little bit about him as a father in the future.

Is he getting old? Chen Jiashu looked at him, but Chen Jinnan’s face showed no signs of age. At forty, he still looked like a young man in his early thirties. He was healthy and handsome. After nearly 20 years, that white faced³ a white face is a derogatory term used for a man who is being taken care of or “raised” by a woman man still fascinated Wen Yun. Chen Jiashu and Chen Du had to give him at least half the credit for their outstanding appearance genes.

I don’t see anything old about him. Chen Jiachu had witnessed a person go from being gorgeous to rapidly decaying and eventually dying in just a few years. Chen Jinnan and Wen Yun’s ageing rate was extremely unfair in comparison, which was comparable to being frozen in time.

She waited for Chen Jinnan to finish signing his name a few times superfluously, then took the test papers and left.

“Jia ……” Chen Jinnan wanted to call her over to watch TV with him, but Chen Jiashu had already arrived on the first floor.

Chen Du was silent the whole time, sitting on the sofa with the remote control and repeatedly tuning the station. The TV was switching back and forth between laughter and the lively atmosphere of variety comedy. His face was expressionless, frowning slightly. His calm eyes were filled with anger underneath the surface.

A normal dinner was done in the usual way. Chen Jinnan asked about his school life and academic performance, and Chen Du answered briefly, but when it came to Chen Jiashu, she only said “hmm” or simply pretended to eat with her head down. When Chen Jinnan had had enough of her hot face and cold skin⁴Gorgeous but aloof or cold, he resentfully stopped messing with this humanoid fridge. Chen Jiashu was happy to be invisible.

At home, it was no different from school. She read and did her homework, and when she was done, she went to practice dance. Chen Jiashu went to the terrace outside Chen Du’s room to dance. The place was a bit like the rooftop of the school, with a flat concrete floor. A sliver of red and green flowers and grass stood in the corner, and a large area of sky overhead, where the burning red sunset and the ink-stained night stood tangled together. The sparks that touched the sky were flickering⁵The stars, a calm fight in a distant galaxy beyond. One hundred thousand light years collapsing into a slow motion.

Chen Du was in the window just behind the swing. The curtains were half drawn so that his half-arm could be seen inside from the outside.

He always maintains an end-to-end posture, and his elbow moves slightly with the progress of writing. The elbow joint protruded in a clear shape because of the force when the rubber or compass was used. It was a very lean sense of power.

Chen Jiashu stretched her insteps. Her toes spun on the ground, and her body bent softly. She raised her hands, lowering her waist, and her straight, fluttering figure danced on the terrace, like a goblin⁶ A demon or seductress that takes on human form at night. She jumped over step by step and knocked on the window of the little fair-faced scholar.

Chen Du held a pen in his hand, and his brain was still immersed in thinking. He raised his head in response, looked at her with drowsy, lazy eyes, and asked with his eyes, Is there something wrong?

“Give me the paper.” Chen Jiashu stretched out her hand.

Chen Du gave it to her. He opened the window, and while she was basking in the sun, she poked half her head in, “What are you doing?”

“Chemistry.”

“Oh, I don’t study that.”

“Yeah.” Chen Du looked indifferent, with a look of “displeased about everything”, sitting on the chair like a monk in meditation.

Chen Jiashu rolled her eyes, “Last time in math, you said you would teach me the chapter on number sequences, and you still haven’t.”

“When I’m free.”

“When will you be free?”

“Later.”

“……” Chen Jiashu raised her eyebrows, “Okay, later then.”

She closed the window slowly, causing it to clatter, then pulled it shut and left. Halfway out, she glanced back at him. He was still in that position, pen nibs darting across the paper. His thoughts were not interrupted by her in the slightest. The thin lips under the bridge of his nose were slightly pursed, representing the state of his full concentration, and his profile looked cold and handsome.

Chen Jiashu stood in place for a while, just looking at him. She smiled, went back to her room, and took her clothes to take a shower.

The rose-scented body wash that had been a constant in the house for years had finally been replaced with a lighter fragrance, which smelled nice and was somewhat similar to the scent she usually used.

Chen Jiashu took a nice hot shower, rinsing the foam off her body. She was about to get dressed when the bathroom door suddenly opened with a creak. She almost dropped the towel in her hand when she heard the sound and turned her head to see Chen Du coming from the doorway.

She was so startled by the look in his eyes that she forgot to put on her clothes and stood naked on the tiles with the towel in her hand, staring at him.

Chen Du locked the door with his hand, took the towel from her hand, and threw it aside. His hot body then pressed up against hers.
