Chapter 1648 - Save her again
Duan Shu Xian stretched out her hand and used some difficulty to move towards that corner. Sometimes, there was nothing she could do. Even with half a finger missing, she wished that her arm could stretch out.
Duan Shu Xian immediately found a fixed spot and refused to give up on erasing the spider web.
Just a little bit more …
Just a little bit more …
When Duan Shu Xian finally met her, she rubbed her face as well. However, there were still traces of her flirting around in the corner. As someone who didn't like doing half the work, she had to finish it before she could feel at ease.
She was going to go on with the detective and wipe that corner clean...
Just as she was trying her best to reach her body, a tall and straight figure walked out from a bookshelf beside her. Xi Jingchen came to return the book, and when he was at the front desk earlier, he did not see Duan Shu Xian, so he handed it over to Auntie Huang.
When he re-selected the book, he heard a noise beside him. He could not help but step onto the long bookshelf at the end of the line. He saw a girl stretching her arms as she performed the extreme stretch of her body …
Duan Shu Xian suddenly saw someone at the corner of her eyes. She took the opportunity to take a glance and was shocked by that gaze. She, who was already in a tense state, immediately tensed up.
"Ah …" Another scream rang out. Duan Shu Xian's body slipped on the ladder. This time, her back was facing downwards.
Xi Jingchen was already standing at the bottom of her ladder. He instantly extended his arm, causing Duan Shu Xian to directly smash into it.
Duan Shu Xian's pretty face turned pale from fright. After being hugged, she instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck to prevent him from suffering any more injuries.
Behind the quiet bookshelves, a pair of men were embracing, causing the air to freeze up.
Duan Shu Xian was panting like a fish lacking water. Her small mouth was open and her big watery eyes were looking at her savior. Xi Jingchen looked at the woman in his embrace, saw her hair covering his arms, her black hair wrapping around a delicate, white little face, and her quivering red lips … His Adam's apple rolled a little. This action was not due to thirst …
It was that he was physically thirsty.
After a few seconds of silence, Duan Shu Xian's beautiful face turned red. She quickly let go of his neck and said in panic, "Xi …" Teacher Xi, thank you. "
Xi Jingchen bent down and stopped her. At the same time, he reached over to help her stand up.
Duan Shu Xian took a step back with a flushed face. "Thank you."
"Next time, I won't be able to catch you every time." Xi Jingchen humorously joked.
Duan Shu Xian became even more embarrassed. She didn't know why, but every time she fell down, he would always be there. Was this fate?
"Are you hurt?" Duan Shu Xian asked with concern.
"I'm fine!" Xi Jingchen caught someone as heavy as her with ease.
At this time, the Auntie Huang stuck her head out from another bookshelf and asked, "Little Duan, did something happen?"
" Nothing … "I'm fine." Duan Shu Xian hastily replied with a stutter.
Xi Jingchen turned around and walked toward the row of shelves that he wanted to borrow a book from, and continued to seriously choose the book he wanted to read.
Duan Shu Xian bit her lips. She picked up the bucket and the cloth and headed towards the storage room. Since there was no one inside, she quickly washed her hands and covered her hot face.
God! How embarrassing. Ever since she was young, other than her father, this was probably the first man who had hugged her.
When Duan Shu Xian came out, Xi Jingchen was still there. He already had two books in his hand, but he continued to pick them up.
Duan Shu Xian didn't want to disturb him, so she went back to the counter. Auntie Huang wanted to go out and ask her to stay at the counter for a bit, and Duan Shu Xian wanted to stay there too.
After a while, Xi Jingchen came over with four books and placed them on her table, "Can you borrow these four books?"
Duan Shu Xian nodded. Her face was slightly red as she held the book, preparing to type the number.
Right at this moment, a figure walked in from outside. It was the coffee shop's owner, Jiang Ning, who was next door, holding a bag containing three cups of wine. He walked over to the counter and said to Duan Shu Xian, "This is for you and the aunties."
Duan Shu Xian was immediately overwhelmed by the unexpected favor. With an embarrassed smile, she replied, "Boss Jiang, how can you be so embarrassed about this!"
"In the future, you are always welcome to come to my shop. You can have your coffee for free." Jiang Ning gave a handsome smile, put down the teacup and turned to leave.
Duan Shu Xian looked at the three cups of wine, and the bag was even Starbucks'. This was quite expensive.
Xi Jingchen looked at the coffee bag, and his gaze landed on the girl's face, "Did someone give you something to drink?"
Duan Shu Xian's head was slightly hit, she explained embarrassedly, "He's the boss of the next coffee shop, his coffee shop is inside."
Xi Jingchen had naturally noticed just now that this was a young and handsome coffee shop owner, unlike the other junior brothers who sent milk tea to him earlier.
Duan Shu Xian passed him the numbered book. "Your book is ready."
Xi Jingchen received the book, his gaze landed on her red and cute face, thinking about how she was in his arms just now, and the sudden thirst in his body, he never thought that this girl would actually cause him to have such a reaction.
"If you like coffee, how about I bring you a cup on Thursday?"
The Pavilion Lord Manor's coffee was excellent.
Duan Shu Xian was startled, where did she get her good fortune from today? They actually got Teacher Xi to send her coffee?
"No need." Of course, Duan Shu Xian could not be freely favored.
"What is it? You only want a gift from this boss? I don't want to see you off? " Xi Jingchen squinted his eyes, and felt that he had received an unfair treatment.
Duan Shu Xian was startled, when Jiang Ning delivered it to her, she didn't even reject him before she left. "To be honest, I can't accept his benefits. I'm sorry about that right now!" Teacher Xi, I really don't need it, thank you very much, if you really want to give me something, you saved me twice, and I was the one who gave it to you! " When Duan Shu Xian thought of his kindness, she realized that …
She felt very guilty.
"Great!" What do you want to give me? " Xi Jingchen was actually looking forward to see what she would send him off.
Duan Shu Xian blinked. Would he want her gift?
"I'm going to pick a present these two days. Will you return the book on Thursday afternoon? I'll give it to you. " Duan Shu Xian really wanted to gift it to him as a repayment for his kindness.
"I'm not sure if I'll return the book, but I'll definitely be in my office. You can take me there." Xi Jingchen really wanted her gift!
Duan Shu Xian nodded in pleasant surprise, "Alright, I'll take you to your office on Thursday."
Xi Jingchen nodded, picked up the book and turned to leave.
Duan Shu Xian supported her chin with her hands and immediately began thinking, what kind of present should I give him? She hadn't given a boy a present yet!
After a while, the other two aunties returned. Seeing Jiang Ning buy drinks for them, they were very happy, Duan Shu Xian was also very grateful to Jiang Ning, and hoped that his coffee shop would open successfully.
Duan Shu Xian was still thinking about giving Xi Jingchen a present. Furthermore, she had to repay him for saving her life twice.
But what should he give?
Duan Shu Xian was in a tough spot. She wanted to wear clothes, a belt, a tie and so on, but she immediately rejected her idea.
She wasn't his boyfriend, so it was impossible for her to give away something like this!
After some thought, Duan Shu Xian finally thought of something to give him. Give him a pen! He needed to prepare for class every day, so writing was very practical.
Right, just give him a pen.
Duan Shu Xian got off work at exactly 5: 30 this afternoon. She could go and have a good pick, no matter what, she had to get something better.
After work, Duan Shu Xian made a phone call to her father. She said that she had made an appointment to go shopping and come home late, so her father didn't doubt her. He just told her not to come back too late.
Duan Shu Xian couldn't help but ask a good sister of hers to come out. They were best friends from high school to university. They went shopping together and bought pens.
"Shu Xian, which important friend are you sending!?" Giving away such an expensive pen, it must be a boyfriend! "
As Duan Shu Xian was picking out the unsatisfied ones, she was teased by her good sister.
Duan Shu Xian's face immediately flushed from embarrassment. "Of course not, I'm just a male friend who helped me before." With that, she bitterly said, "He probably can't even be considered a friend. He's our school's new teacher."
"Wah!" It must be a young and handsome teacher! "
Duan Shu Xian knew that her good sister had misunderstood, so she pushed her away. "Don't disturb me, let's go to another place to have a look."
"My legs are broken, okay? This must be the fourth house! Why haven't you picked it yet! "
Duan Shu Xian didn't know why, but she felt unsatisfied. Finally, at the last house, she picked a golden pen. It was very beautiful, and also very suitable to be given away.
"Boss, can you wrap it up for me?" "I'll give it to someone else." "Alright!" The owner replied and then very carefully packed it for her.
