Bai Yu Doesn't Know [MTL] (Completed)

Chapter 54 054/Retention

Lu Zan returned to the store with the unfinished flyers. He put the stack of flyers on the table and took off the cat-eared hairpin from his head. He only told Sai Yao that he would leave for a while, then left the store and walked towards Jiang Jianwen's direction.

Jiang Jianwen was still waiting next to the lamppost. When he got closer to Lu Zan, he realized that compared with the last time he saw him, he seemed much more haggard now, and there was a layer of green stubble on his chin. , the slightly longer hair is also messy.

He took Lu Zan to a slightly deserted alley in the pedestrian street. They sat on a bench in the alley and didn't speak for a long time.

In fact, Lu Zan felt that Jiang Jianwen and Jiang Baiyu were really similar in some respects, they were equally restrained and stubborn.

Lu Zan guessed that Jiang Jianwen came here today to ask about Jiang Baiyu.

He glanced sideways at Jiang Jianwen and saw that he was lowering his head and clenching his fingers in silence, probably not knowing how to speak.

After noticing his gaze, Jiang Jianwen was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes and glanced at him, as if he had just come back to his senses.

His voice was a little hoarse:

"Ah, I'm sorry, Xiao Lu, for disturbing your work."

"No, isn't it the Chinese New Year? We don't have many customers in the store, so it won't be a problem."

Lu Zan smiled at Jiang Jianwen and asked proactively:

"Does Uncle Jiang want to ask me about Jiang Baiyu?"

Hearing his question, Jiang Jianwen sighed:

"Yes, I just saw him working part-time with you, right?"

"Yeah." Lu Zan nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"I also followed him here. I didn't know he worked here at first, but then I found out by chance. I wanted to make some money on my own and help him, so I stayed."

"He... often works part-time outside?"

"Actually, I don't know, because I only met him at the beginning of this semester, but I know that when he was in school, he had to go out every weekend to provide tutoring. I was quite surprised before, because our school gave The scholarship is very generous, Jiang Baiyu shouldn’t be short of money.”

Lu Zan couldn't directly tell him what Jiang Baiyu might have done, he could only shed some light on this aspect.

Jiang Jianwen is a smart man. With a little thought, he should be able to piece together the whole story. Or maybe he had already guessed it, and he came today just to confirm it.

Sure enough, after hearing Lu Zan's words, he was silent for a long time, then raised his hands to rub his face and sighed deeply.

When he spoke again, his voice was very low and his tone was full of fatigue:

"Xiao Lu, you are the first friend he brings home."

After a pause, Jiang Jianwen asked again:

"Did he have any other friends at school before he met you?"

Lu Zan shook his head.

"I know it. I'm ashamed to say that I have never attended his parent-teacher meeting, but I will answer the phone calls the teachers call me. The thing they told me the most is that this child is withdrawn and doesn't like to talk to others. I don’t talk or play with other people. This has been the case since I was a child. So I was really surprised when I saw you at home for the first time. I have always wanted to say thank you to you. , of course, this is not just for Jiang Baiyu."
