Quick Wear: An honest man is always criticized for forced love

Chapter 137 Distance

Shen Jun was quite familiar with this area, and walking on the mountain road was no problem for him. No matter how steep or bumpy the terrain was, Shen Jun could climb it in a few steps.

Although Xie Xubai was quite agile, he still found it quite strenuous to climb the mountains full of rocks and slopes.

In addition, he was shaken in the car so hard that he almost vomited bile, and now Xu Bai's physical strength is somewhat insufficient.

After climbing over another small hill, Xie Xubai still did not see any buildings.

Seeing that he had slowed down, Shen Jun paused for a moment and waited for Xie Xubai.

"I'm sorry," Shen Jun reached out and held Xie Xubai's hand, "It will probably take another half an hour to get there."

Shen Jun looked at Xie Xubai a little embarrassedly as he spoke. It must be very uncomfortable for a spoiled young master like him to accompany him on such a journey.

Shen Jun was thinking this when he heard Xie Xubai ask him, "Where was your previous school?"

Shen Jun was silent for a moment, then pointed to a mountain opposite him, "Over there, over that mountain, on the back of the mountain is the county town, where I went to school."

Xie Xubai looked in the direction of his finger and found that there was only endless forest in front of him, and no human habitation was visible.

Xie Xubai was silent. He lifted the suitcase in his hand, took bigger steps, and caught up with Shen Jun.

"Originally, when there was no road here, we had to walk to the county from here," Shen Jun said, and took a few steps forward and crossed the puddle in front of him before reaching out to grab Xie Xubai and bring him over.

"Later, when the car was opened, we could go down the mountain and take a bus to the county, which saved a lot of time."

As Shen Jun spoke, he looked back at the mountain road they had come from. The winding and rugged path meandered all the way up from Shen.

It was a really long and difficult road to walk, and Shen Jun's mind reappeared the original owner's memories of this period of study.

There was a period of time when Shen Shian's health was not very good. Shen Jun was worried about leaving him at home alone, so he applied to the school for a day student permit.

Shen Jun had to walk back and forth twice a day on such a long mountain road. He would set out before dawn and arrive at school just in time for class. After self-study, he would rush back immediately and it would be early morning when he got home.

The original owner lived like this for half a year, until Shen Shian's health improved and he refused to let Shen Jun go back and forth anymore, so Shen Jun went back to live in the school.

Despite such difficult conditions, the original owner was admitted to University A with the third highest score in the county.

Thinking of this, Shen Jun felt a wave of bitterness in his heart. Indescribable emotions surged up his spine, making him feel a little sad.

When Xie Xubai saw the hill that Shen Jun pointed to, his mood darkened a little.

The two of them walked towards Shen Jun's house with their own thoughts. On the way, Shen Jun called Shen Shian and told him his location.

After Shen Shian answered the phone, he complained to Shen Jun on the other end, asking why he didn't tell him earlier so that he could come out to greet him.

Upon hearing this, Shen Jun just smiled and said that it was not necessary. The two of them were only a few steps away from the village entrance.

After Shen Jun finished speaking, he hung up the phone and checked the time. It took him forty-five minutes to walk up from the top, and he estimated that it would take another ten minutes to reach the village.

"It's almost there, we'll be there soon." Shen Jun lifted the suitcase in his hand and said to Xie Xubai beside him.

"Got it. Let's go quickly and don't keep the old man waiting for too long." Xie Xubai said, and Yi Yang took the slightly smaller silver-gray suitcase from Shen Jun.

Along the way, Xie Xubai was carrying the large suitcase that contained two people's luggage. Occasionally, when Shen Jun couldn't carry it anymore, he would help Shen Jun carry the other one.

But how could Shen Jun let Xie Xubai keep working hard? So after walking a few steps, Shen Jun would take the box again.

This time was no exception, but just as he was about to take the box, he saw Xie Xubai stop.

Seeing that Xie Xubai's eyes were fixed on a certain place, Shen Jun also raised his head in confusion.

"That...is that your grandfather?" Xie Xubai asked.

On the hillside in the distance, an old man with a hunched back, wearing a dark blue vest with a black long-sleeved shirt underneath, was limping towards the two men with a cane.

The mountain road was steep. The old man walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow, his body swaying, and it looked like he would fall to the ground at any time.

Shen Jun was shocked and quickly called out "Grandpa". He ran out without even bothering to take the suitcase from Xie Xubai.

Xie Xubai looked at Shen Jun's back, then picked up his suitcase and started to chase after him.

"Grandpa! Why did you come out? Didn't I tell you to wait for me at home?" Shen Jun said as he quickly walked up the hillside and raised his hand to hold Shen Shian's arm.

Although Shen Shian is old and a little hunched, he is still in good health, except for his legs which were injured when he was young and are not very flexible. When he heard Shen Jun say this, he just smiled faintly, and the wrinkles on his dark and thin face suddenly piled up.

"Grandpa can't wait any longer, so he came out to welcome our Jun..." Shen Shian said as he raised one hand and stroked the back of Shen Jun's hand.

"That's your classmate, right?" With the support of Shen Jun, Shen Shian looked up at Xie Xubai who was walking quickly towards him not far away.

"Yes, he is Xie Xubai, Grandpa."

When Shen Junyi mentioned his name, Shen Shian immediately remembered, "Ah! Xiao Xie, I know him, I know him."

As the grandfather and grandson were talking, Xie Xubai had already arrived.

"Grandpa." Xie Xubai called out obediently the first time he saw Shen Shian.

Shen Shian's somewhat cloudy eyes swept across Xie Xubai's cheek, and the smile on his face deepened.

"Oh, Xiao Xie, you are so handsome. Grandpa has never seen a boy as handsome as you!" Shen Shian said, unable to hide the joy on his face.

Xie Xubai simply put the suitcases in his two hands together and freed up one hand to hold Shen Shian's other arm.

"Grandpa, are you lying to me? Am I really that good-looking?" Xie Xubai softened his tone and asked obediently.

Shen Jun had never seen Xie Xubai like this before, and found it a little strange for a moment.

"Hahaha, why would grandpa lie to you at this age? You are so handsome, even our Junzi can't compare to you~"

Shen Shian joked as he led the two of them towards home.

When Shen Jun heard that he praised Xie Xubai and wanted to put him down, he immediately pretended to be angry and said, "Grandpa is biased. Am I your grandson or is he your grandson? Why have I never heard you praise me like this?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Shian only smiled faintly and said, "They are all beautiful... They are all beautiful, they are all my good children."

The two of them supported Shen Shian on the left and right as they walked towards a mud house on the top of the mountain.

When they got home, Shen Jun signaled Xie Xubai to support Shen Shian first, while he ran to open the door.

There was a rusty iron lock on the old wooden double door. Shen Jun opened the lock with the key, then turned around and led the two people in.

It is a very small house, and the furnishings inside can be seen at a glance. In the middle of the main room is a place for making fire and cooking, and on the right side there is a door separated by wooden boards, which looks like a bedroom.

There was no sofa in the room, only a few wooden stools surrounding a square wooden table.

The floor was made of cement and looked very clean. There was a ladder on the left, which seemed to lead to the second floor.

Although the room is old, it is cleaned very well and there is no odor.

Shen Shian, who originally wanted to invite Xie Xubai to sit down, discovered that several wooden stools had cracks due to being used for too long.

The old man felt a little embarrassed, so he turned around in a hurry to get a cushion for Xie Xubai. Xie Xubai wanted to stop him but he couldn't persuade him, so he had to let the old man go.

He had just turned around and went in when an uninvited guest came to the house.
