ittle lion that had been offended. He glanced at him coldly and said, "It's good that you don't say anything, I'll have you starved to death."Xiao Che lowered his head, still unwilling to speak.Li Yan...When Jiang Xiao called, Ning Shu had just finished class. 。The other party clearly contacted him on purpose. A low, magnetic voice came over: “Return to the dormitory, I brought you something good.” 。"Ning Shu pursed her lips and couldn't help but ask, "What good thing"

When he was first sent to this world by Lingling, he was only over a year old. " 。The original owner had a high fever that wouldn't go down, and the doctors issued a critical illness notice. 。The final result was as the doctor had said, that fragile child couldn't withstand it. 。

and Ning Shu's soul then moved in 。The original owner's parents hadn't slept for days and nights, their faces pale. 。Whoever saw it would feel sympathy and pity, until Ning Shu's high fever subsided. Because of the great joy after the great sorrow, Wang Yuxiu, that is, Ning Shu's mother, fainted. 。From then on, Ning Shu became the child of the two of them. 。Ning Shu felt a little ashamed in her heart, after all, she was not Ning Fu and Wang Yuxiu's biological child. 。But he had no way to tell them the truth, so from a young age, he decided to treat them as his own biological parents. 。

Not to disappoint the two of them. 。

While Jiang Xiao is Ning Shu's childhood friend who later moved in next door. 。At first, Ning Shu didn't know Jiang Xiao. Back then, Lingling was so busy that she didn't even have time to assign him a task. 。Ning Shu just lived in the original place for several years, but during those years, he might have had a high fever several times because of other reasons. 。This is a real pain point for the Ning family. 。When his own son was a little over a year old, he almost died. 。Even though Ning Shu's high fever was a normal childhood illness, Wang Yuxiu still insisted that it must be a problem with the feng shui. 。So she sold the house in just a few days. 。Also bought another house. 。

Thus, Ning Shu met Jiang Xiao. 。Because he is the child of his neighbor. 。It wasn't until later that Ning Shu learned that Jiang Xiao was the target of Lingling's mission. 。His mission was to watch Jiang Xiaocheng establish a family and build a career. 。

This task looks simple, but the difficulty is not small. 。First, Ning Shu was only a few years old at the time, and Jiang Xiao was not much older than him. They were about the same age. 。If you want to see Jiang Xiao succeed in his career and family, that is, Ning Shu needs to stay in this world for twenty years. 。After all, the normal process for most people is to graduate from university and then find a girl they like. The two of them need to get to know each other and spend time together before entering into marriage. 。

As for career, it is another responsibility for men. 。Ning Shu originally thought that this task, while sounding difficult, wasn't actually that hard. 。At least Jiang Xiao is truly excellent. In this regard, it's definitely not difficult for him to establish a family and career. 。

But... now, he always feels like something is off. 。From childhood to adulthood, Jiang Xiao's suitors were countless. 。He is tall and handsome, excelling both academically and personally. 。Among all the boys, she stands out. 。

Ning Shu has practically walked with him from elementary school, going to the same school all the way through, including the university they're both attending now. 。There were many girls who confessed their feelings to Jiang Xia, but Jiang Xia never accepted any of them. He didn't even have any intention of dating. 。It's not that those girls aren't excellent, on the contrary, most of the girls who pursue Jiang Xiao are very outstanding. 。Ning Shu even felt that Jiang Xiao was a bit arrogant. 。He remembered he had asked Jiang Xia before why he wasn't dating

Jiang Xiao let out a tsk and replied, "Doesn't feel like it, right"

If Ning Shu pressed further 。He would become impatient, even unhappily crushing Ning Shu's small frame with his large body. 。Then, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, as if she took pleasure in bullying Ning Shu. 。Ning Shu recalled these things and couldn't help but sigh. 。After hanging up Jiang Xiao's phone, he went back to the dormitory. 。Before even getting close to the dormitory, Ning Shu could hear the excited voices of several people inside, calling out "Xiaogē" one after another. 。When he went in 。Jian Xiao was sitting on his bed, beside him was a box wrapped in paper. 。The packaging of that box looked very elegant and beautiful. The tall, handsome guy didn't need to look up. 。It was as if I could hear Ning Shu's footsteps, and then, raising my eyelids... 。He looked over, a smirk playing on his lips, and said: "Ning Ning" 。"

Several roommates also greeted Ning Shu happily: "Ning Shu, you're back. Xiaoger has been waiting for you for a long time" 。"Ning Shu glanced at the milk tea, coffee, and other beverages in their hands. She was used to it." 。If someone else were to see it, they would definitely think that Jiang Xia also lived in this dormitory. 。But the truth of the matter is, not 。At first, Ning Shu and Jiang Xiao were not assigned to the same dormitory. After all, there were so many students in university, and there were countless classmates in their major. 。When Jiang Xiao knew, his brows furrowed tightly. 。Anyone could see that he was unhappy. 。

But Jiang Xiao still didn't say anything in the end, but he was in a low mood for almost a month. 。Although they didn't live in the same dormitory, Jian Xiao frequently came to his dorm. 。He will bring Ning Shu food, drinks, and things to play with. 。While Ning Shu's roommate, Jiang Xiao, will also prepare another one. 。

One who takes a man's hand is indebted to him. 。That's why, even if Jiang Xiao might not be older than them, they still call him "Jiang Xiao ge" (older brother). 。。

But in reality, it's pretty much the same. 。Ning Shu sometimes felt that Jiang Xiao was more familiar to him than these roommates. He walked over >>> 。 。Jiang Xiaowei raised her chin, letting him have a look. 。Ning Shu was slightly startled, then opened the box. 。

He was stunned for a moment when he saw the cookies inside. 。He couldn't help but look over, hesitatingly saying: "Isn't this the bakery from that shop"

That shop is just in the neighboring city, it doesn't have any other branches. 。The owner is an elderly couple, and they are very skilled. 。The cakes have been sold for decades, and Ning Shu only ate them when she went on a trip one year. 。That means if you want to eat it, you'll have to buy it at a local store. 。

while Ning Shu hasn't gone there for a long time. 。He couldn't help but be a little surprised: "...Jiang Xiao, you went to the next city When did you go Don't you have class"Jiang Xiao stared into his eyes and said, "I had someone bring it to me from this morning, it's still very fresh now" 。He spoke, a smirk playing on his lips as he lowered his head, "Touched"Ning Shu and Jiang Xiaoxiao had been childhood sweethearts for over a decade, so she was used to his proximity and touch. 。While I feel touched, to be honest, Jiang Xiao has done countless similar things growing up. 。He had even gotten somewhat used to it. 。What Jiang Xiaowei didn't understand was another reason: "Why did you suddenly think of buying this"

Speaking of this, the corners of Jiang Xiaowei's lips drooped down. He frowned and said unhappily, "If you want to eat this, wouldn't you just tell me Why bother going to other people's朋友圈>>> 。He said that. 。Ning Shu actually remembered, he last night... 。Saw that some old classmates were studying in the next city over. They casually posted a WeChat moment saying they had some recommendations for good food and fun things to do. 。Thinking back to my previous trip there. 。Then Ning Shu commented on the store's pastries, saying they were delicious and unique. 。And the shop doesn't offer takeout, you can only eat there, but it's worth it. 。

A former classmate replied, "Thanks, buddy." 。But Ning Shu hadn't expected that this circle of friends would be seen by Jiang Xiao. 。After hearing it, he felt a little helpless, and somewhat amused and exasperated. 。But Ning Shu still accepted the other party's kindness. 。He asked Jiang Xiao if he wanted to eat, while planning to give some to his other roommates. 。But she was stopped by Jiang Xiao, who sounded displeased: "I bought this for you, what are you doing giving it to them"

The other roommates immediately chimed in, "Ning Shu, Brother Xiao has already treated us to milk tea. You should just eat it yourself." 。“Ning Shu was just casually asking. This was bought by Jiang Xiao especially for him, and he actually felt a bit reluctant.” 。Jiang Xiao buys things for him, but he never eats them himself. 。Ning Shu didn't know what was wrong with him. He wouldn't eat, but he liked to watch others eat. 。Just like now, he's biting into a cookie while checking his phone for messages. 。But instead of seeing the phone being passed to another person, it was Jiang Xiao who reached out first, snatching it from him and saying, "Even with food in your mouth, you can't keep that playful mind of yours at bay. Who are you chatting with"Ning Shu wasn't prepared for this, so he just let him take the phone. 。Jiang Xiao just openly took out his phone and started looking through it. 。Ning Shu: “.......”

Actually, this wasn't the first time. It could be said that from their teenage years, when they started to awaken, 。Jimmy's awareness was very strong, he would occasionally check Ning Shu's phone, under the pretense that "you can't have a better brother friend than me". 。

Jiang Xia looked and found nothing suspicious about the contacts. 。Then he returned her phone and, seeing the crumbs of pastry remaining at the corner of Ning Shu's lips, couldn't help but reach out and casually wipe them away. 。The boy's lips are very soft. 。And the color is very beautiful. 。Especially Ning Shusheng is very fair, his lips are even more delicate and rosy. 。He just lowered his eyelashes and ate the food in his hands, naturally he didn't see. Jiang Xiao's eyes became slightly deeper. 。On the contrary, the other roommates got used to it. Sometimes they would jokingly laugh and say that Jiang Xiao didn't seem like Ning Shu's brother or childhood friend, but more like an extra father. 。Although they didn't live in the same dormitory, Jiang Xia's phone messages were always numerous every day. 。Even last time when Ning Shu played a game, she was bullied. 。Jian Xiao immediately ran over and helped Ning Shu get revenge. He had a cold face and spoke ruthlessly, scaring the other roommates. 。I'm afraid even Ning Shu's biological father doesn't care for him this much. 。But jokes aside, everyone envies their decades-long friendship. 。If it weren't for the fact that both of them were straight men, they would almost suspect that Ning Shu and Jiang Xiao were not brothers, but lovers. 。Jiang Xiao didn't notice Ning Shu's other roommates. His fingers still retained that soft, squishy feeling. 。His eyes grew deeper and deeper, he didn't know why, but his mouth felt dry. 。Jiang Xiao also bought a

drink. 。Ning Shu finished eating the cake and drank some water. 。I just feel like I don't need to eat anymore. Seeing Jiang Xiao keep staring at me, I couldn't help but pause: "What are you looking at me for" but he was stopped by someone: "No one is allowed off the starship." 。Ning Shu's uneasiness grew, until— he saw people in Imperial Army uniforms boarding the starship. 。Heaving his steps, he walked...
