Chapter 1398: Chapter 802: Jiang Xiaosi Is Completely Exiled, Unloved and Uncared For (Third Update)
The professor knows Jiang Shiyi is very smart, but he lacks a bit of humanity. Lin Luyou is a girl, after all, so maybe being together can change him a bit.
The result was:
Not only did they develop a brother-sister bond, they also developed other feelings.
...
At this moment, Jiang Shiyi recalled someone just entering the lab, looking awkward and cautious, and couldn’t help but laugh.
Lin Luyou didn’t understand anything. No matter what she did, she had to ask this picky and fussy senior a question, cautiously, with a sweet voice: "Senior——"
Perhaps because of the shadow left from the second interview, and hearing from others that Jiang Shiyi didn’t want to mentor her, Lin Luyou was very cautious for a long time, afraid of annoying this fussy guy.
Maybe it was because Tang Wan asked about school days today, Lin Luyou, in a drowsy state, thought about the times when she was ordered around during school days.
Studying abroad was already stressful, and during that time, she was trying hard to prove herself to Jiang Shiyi, working on data and writing reports day and night.
Being alone abroad, unlike being in the country where there was always someone to care for her, she developed stomach problems back then.

The car had slowly stopped at the villa entrance, Jiang Shiyi saw she showed no signs of waking up, yet seemed to sleep increasingly restlessly.
"Youyou." He called her softly, but there was no sign of waking up.
Jiang Shiyi turned off the car, and the faint noise of the engine disappeared too. The surroundings were so quiet it seemed like he could hear her soft breathing. Rubbing his hands on the steering wheel, he tilted his head to look at her.
Her small face was pale and delicate, wearing relatively loose clothing, making her body look even more slender and frail, exposing a section of her snow-white neck.
In the deep spring and early summer, the sunlight was bright but not too intense, casting a gentle glow through the dark car window onto her, as if forming a layer of soft halo. He gazed at her deeply, slowly, somewhat recklessly, leaned over...
As he got closer, he could hear not only her breathing but also the rise and fall of her chest.
His lips gently landed on the small area of skin at her neck.
Lightly, just a slight touch.
Her skin was warm, as if he could feel the flow of blood under her skin.
Jiang Shiyi thought he might be a pervert; the mark he left on her neck had disappeared, yet now he...
Wanted to leave something on her again.
He took a deep breath.
Even facing a patient, to have a reaction like this, he figured he was probably beyond saving.
Without disturbing Lin Luyou, he got out of the car, leaned against the side, and took a deep breath.
The sunlight wasn’t very intense, falling onto him, even bringing a sense of warmth, yet Jiang Shiyi felt an early sense of hunger filling his bones, unbearably uncomfortable.
...
When Lin Luyou woke up, it was already twilight, as other cars passed by, she opened her eyes. She rarely had the chance to sleep so soundly.
Opening her eyes, she saw Jiang Shiyi leaning against the car hood, looking down at his phone. Perhaps sensing she woke up, he turned and opened the car door for her.
"Let’s go inside."
"Did I sleep for a long time?"
"Not really." Jiang Shiyi added after he spoke, "Just over three hours."
"..."
"You should’ve woken me up."
"I did, but you ignored me."
Lin Luyou was a bit disoriented from sleeping. The things they bought from the supermarket, Jiang Shiyi had already taken inside and organized. There was even soup being stewed in the kitchen. Perhaps due to having enough rest, after entering the house, the aroma of the soup made her truly hungry.
"Go freshen up, I’ll serve you some soup."
With someone waiting on her, Lin Luyou didn’t refuse either.
The main reason was, during school, she was the one helping him get food and serving soup. It was always the wheel of fortune turning; it was her turn to enjoy now.

Nanjiang
Jiang Chengsi didn’t even know someone had moved into the house. At this moment, he was surfing by the sea and even posted a video in his friend circle. He was habitually flamboyant, forgetting he was on a business trip, and sometimes certain things should be kept from the elders.
Si Yushan saw the flashy stance he had while surfing at sea.
In the ten-second video, someone was riding the waves enthusiastically, not at all like a business trip, more like a vacation.
Because Jiang Chengsi’s task here was almost completed, he rarely had time to have fun. Nanjiang was by the sea, and being here for over a week, usually wearing suits and leather shoes, he always felt restrained. It was a rare chance to relax.
Si Yushan knew that it was after work hours, and it was natural for him to relax a bit, but he didn’t expect he’d be having so much fun even when assigned to the frontier.
Feeling a bit frustrated himself, he called his buddy right away, asking Mr. Yan, "Have you been teaching him how to live properly lately?"
"Yes."
"I feel the efforts might not be enough."
"Got it."
Si Yushan cleared his throat, "You’ve been in contact with him for a while; what do you think of this kid?"
"Not bad, fundamentally decent, sound worldview, maybe not polished enough, sometimes a bit too optimistic."
"And what else?"
"His resilience is quite strong."
Si Yushan pressed his lips together; was that a good assessment or not? Strong resilience?
"How about... I let him continue to hone his skills under your guidance?" Si Yushan straightforwardly suggested.
"I don’t mind."
...
After Jiang Chengsi finished surfing, he bought a cup of coconut water, only then did he see the missed call from Si Yushan on his phone, quickly calling back.
He thought it was likely to inform him the business trip was over because the contract was signed, even the report was submitted; logically, there shouldn’t be anything left. He was already planning to stroll around Nanjiang tomorrow, even told everyone to let him know what souvenirs they wanted, and he’d bring them back.
When the call connected, Si Yushan first gave him a compliment.
"...The project was well done; the comparison and evaluation from Yan’s side were also good."
"Thank you, uncle, it’s what I should do." Jiang Chengsi still knew to be courteous, "After all, I’m young and need more experience."
"I’m glad you think that way."
"The project went so smoothly thanks to Mr. Yan’s guidance. Without him, I still need to thank him, following him you can learn a lot..."
Jiang Chengsi thought, flatter as much as you can, after all, you’re going back, so might as well compliment him fully.
He was drinking coconut water while continuously praising Mr. Yan.
"Do you also think you can learn a lot from following him?" Si Yushan raised an eyebrow.
Jiang Chengsi had no idea that a pit was waiting for him ahead.
"Mr. Yan’s capabilities are well-known in the industry, learning from him is an honor for me as well."
"Then you should continue learning from him..."
"..." Jiang Chengsi was dumbfounded.
He was all set to go home, what did that mean?
"Since you’re collaborating well with him, and said you can learn a lot from him, I have a few upcoming collaborations with him, you might as well stay and assist with them."
Si Yushan was the kind to dig a pit and bury you in it, and you still had to smile and thank him.
"Uncle, I..."
"What? Is there a problem?" Si Yushan laughed.
"No problem at all."
"Then work hard. When you come back, I’ll give you a bonus to celebrate your success."
At this point in the conversation, what else could Jiang Chengsi say, "Thank you, uncle."
"We might be family in the future, so what’s all the formality? Work well, I have high hopes for you."
"..."
Jiang Chengsi was just in the group, savoring the waves, asking everyone what they wanted, and everyone had just told him their desired souvenirs, and now he was wailing in the group.
[Brothers, I can’t go back, there’s a new task, why do I feel like I’ll never go back, someone come save the child.]
Jiang Xiaowu: [You should’ve thought you wouldn’t return easily when you went over there.]
Si Yushan finally got him dispatched, how could he let him return to Beijing so easily.
Jiang Yanting: [Then my son and daughter’s desired coconut cakes and coconut candies, please mail them over.]
Jiang Chengsi was frustrated.
At such a time, people were still thinking about his little souvenirs, truly a cousin is different from a brother, the man was calling his brother online.
Jiang Shiyi: [Can’t return? How long will you stay?]
Finally, someone spoke like a human, Jiang Chengsi sighed helplessly: [I’m not sure either, maybe another ten days or half a month, I don’t really know either, I kind of miss home.]
Jiang Shiyi: [No one at home should be missing you.]
[...]
That statement wasn’t untrue. Ever since Jiang Chengsi left, the old lady had been either coaxing Jiang Xiaowai or going to listen to opera, even going to watch Jiangjiang play soccer, not a single call made.
It seemed that after handing him over to the Si Family, they didn’t care anymore.
Jiang Chengsi sighed, he had no idea someone new had moved into his home now.
