Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 870

Chapter 870: Green Tea Boy ( 1 )
However, when Chen Jianmin arrived at Doctor Xie’s house, his good mood disappeared instantly.

Standing outside the fence, he saw Li Shu and a man working in the vegetable garden. He had never seen this man before, and judging from his clothes, he was definitely not a villager.

When he saw both of them were squatting so close to each other and Li Shu even chatting with the man with a smile, Chen Jianmin felt unhappy. Since he is not happy, then that man cannot be happy either!

He walked to the fence and shouted, “Shushu!”

Hearing this familiar voice, Li Shu stopped what she was doing and looked at the source of the sound. When she saw Chen Jianmin looking at her with an aggrieved expression, she felt guilty and panicked. She didn’t even notice that he was calling her by a different, yet more intimate nickname.

Although she has decided not to be a burden to him in this lifetime and stay away from him, Chen Jianmin is her deskmate and he treats her very well.

In addition, she knew that both of them would be engaged in the future so he has a special place in her heart. Seeing his sad look made her feel as if she was cheating.

“Xiao Shu, who is that person?” Song Yan asked curiously.

“That’s my deskmate, Chen Jianmin,” Li Shu said.

“Oh,” Song Yan nodded and looked at the boy.

Chen Jianmin was a little jealous when he realized that he was standing outside the fence like a stranger while they were still whispering inside like a family.

He clenched his fists and wanted to ask Li Shu what her relationship was with the old man. But he suppressed his emotions at the thought that she might be angry if he pry into her private matters like this.

Seeing Li Shu walking towards him, Chen Jianmin lowered his head to hide his emotions.

“Jianmin, why are you here?” Li Shu asked.

Chen Jianmin took out a jar of wild honey from the bamboo basket, handed it to her, and said, “I’m here to give you this.”

“A few days ago, Dong Li and I found a beehive in the forest. We both took half of it, and I got two jars. You are still recovering and need to replenish your body’s nutrition. So, I think if you eat this, you might recover faster,” he added with a smile.

Li Shu was stunned when she heard his gentle tone and caring words. She didn’t know why he was so nice to her. Shouldn’t he only be nice to her after she helps his family?

Looking at the jar of honey, she shook her head and said, “Thank you, but it’s too precious. I couldn’t accept it.”

Chen Jianmin knew she would refuse. Therefore, before coming, he had already thought of a plan. Putting down his hand, he glanced at her and then at Song Yan.

He lowered his eyes and asked with disappointment in his voice, “Shushu, did I do something wrong? Why do you hate me?”

Li Shu was stunned by his words and waved her hands quickly, “How could I hate you? You are very kind to me and teach me how to study. You did nothing wrong.”

“Then why are you so cold to me? You didn’t even give me a chance to get close to you. Did I do something that made you angry?” he asked again.

Seeing his dejected look, Li Shu felt helpless. She sighed and said, “Of course not. You’re so nice to me, how could I get angry with you? I just… I don’t know why you were so nice to me when we barely knew each other.”

When Chen Jianmin heard this, the corners of his lips raised slightly for a second before it turned down again. When he looked at her, the smile on his face had disappeared, replaced by helpless and suppressed joy.

“Then can we get to know each other from now on? Can I be your friend?” he asked.

Li Shu was startled by his bright eyes. It was as if she was the only one in his eyes, which made her a little shy. This was the first time she talked to a boy like this.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally nodded, “Okay, let’s be friends.”

Chen Jianmin finally smiled and stretched out to hold her hand. He put the honey on her hand and said, “Then you can’t refuse this honey. It’s good for your health, and it doesn’t cost me anything.”

Li Shu looked at the wild honey, felt the warmth on her hands, and said, “But I have nothing to give you.”

Chen Jianmin gently held her hand and said with a slight smile, “As long as you are healthy, that is the best gift you can give me.”

Chen Jianmin knew when it was time to stop. So, he let go of her hand and said, “Okay, I’m leaving. Dong Li and I have made an appointment to go to the mountains. If we are lucky, we might even be able to catch some wild animals. I will bring some back to you later.”

Before Li Shu could refuse again, Chen Jianmin turned around and strode away.

Looking at his back, Li Shu sighed. When she turned around, she saw Song Yan was looking at her with a frown.

“Brother Yan, what’s wrong?” she asked.

“Xiao Shu, is that guy really your deskmate?” he asked her.

“Yes, he is the number one in our grade and he has helped me a lot with my study. It is to his credit that I can catch up with my studies despite registering later,” Li Shu nodded.

Song Yan pointed to the jar and said, “He seems to care a lot about you. That jar of wild honey sells for about 80 yuan in a supply store.”

Li Shu was stunned when she heard the price. She knew honey was precious and expensive. But she didn’t know it was so expensive.
