Tao Zhi looked shocked: "Why do I have to recite everything before I can get it back—my phone?"
She specifically emphasizes the general emphasis on the word "I".
"Didn't you ask me to highlight the key points for you?" Jiang Qihuai said.
Tao Zhi's mind was a little blank, she couldn't remember when she asked Jiang Qihuai to help her draw these key points.
"My class fee is very expensive," Jiang Qihuai continued, "You can also discount it."
Tao Zhi was too lazy to talk to him, and jumped up to reach for the phone in his hand.
Jiang Qihuai raised his arm lightly, and Tao Zhi caught the air again.
The school bell rang, and the students came out of the classroom one after another, and people began to come down from the upstairs. The boy raised his arms high, holding the phone with his fingertips and dangling it as if teasing her.
Tao Zhi glanced around, and many people were looking this way curiously.
She pulled Jiang Qihuai by the cuff of his school uniform and pulled him downstairs: "Your Highness, can you be a little more reasonable? There are so-so many Chinese and English," she dragged on, "Today is Friday , I must be going home on the weekend to recite it?"
Jiang Qihuai glanced at her with his head down: "No one can read when you go home?"
Tao Zhi puffed his cheeks guiltily, and refused to answer the question directly: "Then it's impossible for me not to use my mobile phone for a weekend! It's very inconvenient."
Jiang Qihuai was dragged downstairs by her, without saying a word.
Tao Zhi glanced at him, feeling that he was a little shaken, and continued with reason: "And if I have any questions that I don't understand, I can't ask you without a mobile phone."
The two of them walked out of the teaching building following the waves of people. The second year of high school had just started, and evening self-study had not yet started. The night was approaching, the clouds were thin, and the sky was a highly saturated blue-purple.
The street lamps on both sides of the campus street trees reflected the complex tree shadows, Jiang Qihuai stepped on the broken shadows and thought for a moment, then said calmly: "Then you can finish memorizing it tonight, it's just this little content."
Tao Zhi: "..."
That's all there is to it.
Disgusting academic bully.
Seven thirty in the evening.
The streets in the city center are full of traffic, and it is especially lively on Friday night, with street lights flickering, crowds of pedestrians, and laughter.
Tao Zhi stuffed his earphones and sat in a sofa chair in the corner of the coffee shop. There was a cup of coffee and a few books on the table in front of him.
The notebook was spread out in front of him, and the ancient poems and English words copied on it were full of messy handwriting.
Next to it, there is an MP3 player.
Tao Zhi bowed her head and said a few words in silence, her neck was a little sore, she raised her head and stretched out her hand to press it, and looked around.
There are still quite a lot of people in this store. At the next table, a man is clacking and typing with a notebook in his arms, and two little girls next to him are also studying with their books spread out.
Tao Zhi never thought that one day he would study in a coffee shop and become an honorary member of the coffee shop atmosphere group.
The music in the earphones cut off the surrounding noise, Tao Zhi lowered his eyes, and glanced at the small, square, black and white screen on hand.
I didn't expect that Jiang Qihuai would fucking carry an MP3 with him.
She glanced at the young man who was brewing coffee beans behind the operating table in the coffee shop, and for a moment she didn't know why she came to study at the place where Jiang Qihuai worked.
But if you can't use your phone to ask him what you don't know, it seems reasonable to ask him face to face here.
Tao Zhi didn't expect that when she asked him for a mobile phone with reason and grounds on the grounds that "the store is too noisy and I need a quiet environment, so I need to use my mobile phone to listen to music", this man would be able to find it out of his schoolbag. An MP3 for her.
It's 8080 years, and some people still use MP3.
Still the old fashioned one.
Quite retro.
She took off one end of the earphones, rubbed her ears, and the laughing voices of the girls at the table in front of her came over immediately. While talking with a smile, the girls glanced at Jiang Qihuai in front of the operating desk on the other side from time to time.
The boy was wearing a dark brown work uniform. His shoulders were broad and thin. Wearing this kind of shirt and other clothes that outlined his figure was very capable and good-looking. It lost a little of the boyishness he had in school and gave him a neat sense of maturity.
Tao Zhi looked at it for a while, and when Jiang Qihuai looked up, he raised his hand and shook it lazily.
Jiang Qihuai glanced at him with his coffee cup, said a few words to another waiter next to him, put down the cup and walked over: "What's wrong."
Tao Zhi supported his head, swayed Erlang's legs up and down: "When will you get off work?"
"The door closes at ten o'clock, and it's almost eleven o'clock when the sanitation is done." Jiang Qihuai stood by the table and put together her messy ordering menu and other things, knocking the menu on the table.
Tao Zhi nodded, put down his pen, and leaned back in the sofa chair: "I'm using my brain too much, I need to add sugar."
Jiang Qihuai looked down at her messily scratched notebook: "You have memorized a few words."
"Eight." Tao Zhi raised his head and said proudly.
"..."
Jiang Qihuai sighed.
"What's your reaction?" Tao Zhi was dissatisfied again. "Schoolmasters look down on people, don't they? It's only been a while, and I've reached my limit by reciting eight. I need a piece of cheesecake to replenish my mental and physical strength."
Jiang Qihuai didn't speak, and took away the packed menu.
Tao Zhi: "...??"
What's wrong with me ordering a cheesecake!
It's not that I won't pay you!
Tao Zhi watched him go away, picked up the pen again, scratched the back of the word he had just memorized, and put the earphones back.
After a while, a girl in a waiter uniform came over with a plate of small cheesecakes and quietly placed them on the table.
Tao Zhi raised his eyes.
The milk-yellow cheese looked smooth and soft, with a thin layer of caramel underneath. Tao Zhi picked up the small fork next to it and cut a small piece into his mouth, squinting his eyes happily.
When you are in a good mood and devote yourself to one thing, the efficiency can actually be very high.
Although Tao Zhi said that she was slow to recite things, she knew in her heart that she was not stupid, and if she was really asked to do something with her heart, she would not be unable to do it well.
Jiang Qihuai probably didn't really think that she could read all these key points in one day, and Tao Zhi didn't know what kind of energy he was competing with, when she solved all the ancient poems and English words on the book and took off the earphones , the cafe has quieted down.
There were only a few scattered tables left chatting in low voices in the whole store, and the night was falling outside the huge floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and Jiang Qihuai was talking to a waiter next to him who seemed to be about his age.
Tao Zhi propped his elbows on the table and looked at him with his head propped up.
He stood by the coffee machine table, lowered his head and listened to what the boy was talking excitedly, with a faint smile on his lips, and he continued to say a few words from time to time, looking lazy and casual.
The warm yellow lights of the cafe are soft and warm, and a black film machine in the corner slowly slides out soft pure music, and the whole store is immersed in a quiet and soft atmosphere.
As if he noticed her gaze, Jiang Qihuai suddenly raised his head and looked over.
The boy's light brown peach blossom eyes were hooked inside and out, and the corners of the eyes were slightly raised, and the cold pupil suddenly gave people a soft and ambiguous illusion at that moment.
Tao Zhi seemed to be shocked by something, and hurriedly looked away in a panic.
She pretended to be nonchalant and turned her head to look out of the window. Out of the corner of her eye, Jiang Qihuai finally remembered her, stood up straight and walked over.
He walked to the table and lowered his eyes: "Finished memorizing?"
"No." Tao Zhi blurted out without even looking back.
After saying this, Jiang Qihuai didn't react at all, he looked like he knew this beforehand, Tao Zhi was stunned.
She didn't know why she said that.
Just a few hours ago, she wished she could get a Doraemon, a robot cat, and cheated him into eating two slices of memory bread, so that she could memorize these things in an instant. Then take back the mobile phone and go home to lie on the sofa and watch movies and play games, instead of sitting here as a cafe atmosphere group reading these nasty books.
But at this time, maybe the cheesecake tastes good, or maybe it's the illusion-like, somewhat gentle eyes of the boy when he stood by the coffee machine and looked over at that moment.
As if bewitched, she suddenly felt a little bit reluctant to leave.
In this short period of time, the last couple in the cafe packed up their things and opened the door to leave. The boy who had just chatted with Jiang Qihuai called him, and Jiang Qihuai walked over and began to tidy up the console.
Tao Zhi thought for a long time to no avail, so she simply gave up. She never liked to delve into these matters.
She pushed away the chair, stood up, stretched herself, picked up the empty cheesecake plate and the empty coffee cup and sent them over, and looked in through the countertop: "Are you going to get off work?"
Jiang Qihuai responded without looking up.
Tao Zhi raised his hand, scratched his nose with his fingertips, and cleared his throat again: "Then, shall I wait for you for a while?"
Jiang Qihuai paused, raised his head, and glanced at her.
With that expression, it seemed that he could hear two cold words in the next second - no need.
That look just now was indeed her illusion.
Tao Zhi didn't wait for him to speak, turned around directly, and jumped back to the seat where she had been sitting all night.
She flipped through the books boredly for a while, and slowly packed the books and notebooks that were piled up on the table, and Jiang Qihuai's side was almost over.
He pushed open a small door next to him and went into the back room, changed his clothes and came back.
Tao Zhi stood up with his schoolbag hooked, and pointed to the door.
Jiang Qihuai lifted his foot and went out the door first.
As soon as the door was pushed open, the cold air from the outside rushed in, which was in stark contrast to the warm indoor air-conditioning. Tao Zhi pulled up his coat and looked down at the short steps that jumped down one by one.
The city center was full of people at night, Jiang Qihuai stood at the door of the bright coffee shop waiting for her to jump down slowly, without saying a word.
There should be no buses or subways at this point, Tao Zhi jumped down the last step and raised his head: "How do you go back?"
"Night bus."
Tao Zhi blinked: "Will it be open all night?"
"Well," Jiang Qihuai walked forward, "until four o'clock in the morning."
Tao Zhi blinked his eyes, his intention was very obvious.
Jiang Qihuai tilted his head: "Want to sit?"
"I've never taken it before!" Tao Zhi immediately said, "Is it any different from the daytime bus? Are there double-deckers? I want to take the second floor!"
"There is no difference, and there is no second floor." Jiang Qihuai ruthlessly broke the girl's fantasy, "Where do you live?"
Tao Zhi followed him step by step: "It's the place where I met you at the convenience store last time. Is there a parking lot there?"
It is obviously a common thing, but the girl is so novel as if she has discovered a new world. Jiang Qihuai thinks it is a bit amusing: "Yes."
"Then let's go, let's go," Tao Zhi urged him, walking forward eagerly, "Is the bus stop in front?"
It was almost useless to wait, when the two of them walked to the bus stop, the car just happened to drive over.
Tao Zhi picked a seat by the window, and Jiang Qihuai sat behind her.
Her memory of taking the bus was quite a long time ago. Later, Tao Xiuping got a driver, and Tao Zhi was picked up by someone to and from school. Usually, when going out with Song Jiang and the others, he would take a taxi there.
The bus at night is different from the daytime. The lights in the compartment are bright, and there are not many people in it. They shuttle through the streets leisurely, and then the bright night of the city unfolds in front of us.
Tao Zhi stared at the window for a long time, and the man in the back seat bent his fingers and tapped twice on the window: "Get off at the next stop."
Tao Zhi came back to his senses, turned around and looked at him while holding the back of the chair.
Jiang Qihuai raised his eyebrows.
"That, that, that." Tao Zhi blinked and said.
"Which one?" Jiang Qihuai asked knowingly.
"Mobile phone!" Tao Zhi patted the back of the plastic chair, "Aren't you going to return it to me?"
Jiang Qihuai: "Have you finished memorizing it?"
It's over! ! !
Tao Zhi choked.
When she said that just now, it was just because she didn't want to leave at the moment, and she didn't even react when the words came out of her mouth, and naturally she didn't think about thinking about the phone.
Tao Zhi felt a little stuck, and didn't know what to say for a while.
You can't admit that she was lying just now.
"Is the result important? The process is important. Didn't I work hard to memorize it?" Tao Zhi said angrily, "Even kindergarten teachers teach children the importance of hard work from an early age."
The bus stopped before the red light, then moved forward slowly when the green light came on, seeing the scenery outside the window becoming familiar, Jiang Qihuai still didn't respond.
Tao Zhi lost his temper, shook his head and turned around again: "Forget it."
She's going to buy a new one at a big deal! ! !
But her mahjong is registered by tourists! ! !
She lost half a million Happy Beans! ! !
It costs a whole ten dollars! ! !
Tao Zhi's forehead was pressed against the window glass, listening to the gentle female voice on the bus radio announcing the name of the station, reminding passengers to go to the back door in advance.
Just as Tao Zhi was about to get up, the person behind him stretched out his hand, holding a silver mobile phone between his fingers, and handed it to her. The running lights of the headlights flashed across the back of his cold white hands, the palm bones were thin, and the fingers were slender and clean.
Tao Zhi froze for a moment, then turned his head away.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Jiang Qihuai shook his phone, urging her.
Tao Zhi curled his lips, imitating his disgusting and indifferent tone and said angrily: "I haven't finished memorizing the book yet."
She was childishly playing the princess' temper there, and Jiang Qihuai was about to withdraw his hand: "Then don't ask for it."
Tao Zhi hastily pulled the phone back from his hand.
Five hundred thousand happy beans returned to her hometown, and Tao Zhi's awkwardness just now disappeared completely. She turned on her beloved mobile phone in a good mood, and said, "Why are you so moody? The public I posted earlier Did you read it? This is also a manifestation of your withdrawn anti-social personality."
It is very typical to get cheap and sell well.
Jiang Qihuai watched her fiddle with the phone with her head down, shaking her head with joy like a little fool, pressed the corner of her lips and said: "Kids who have worked hard should get a little reward."
