Since Meng Yufan had Yang Xiao, a gold-medal tutor, he has never been to the English class specially offered by the school for their basketball team.
When others learn English, they are all downcast, and the more they learn, the more tired they become; but Meng Yufan's English learning is a "two-pronged approach". Not only does his English grades improve by leaps and bounds, but another kind of "grades" also improves steadily.
Not only can he "integrate" the knowledge he has learned, but he can even "draw inferences from one case" and "learn by analogy". As his teacher, Yang Xiao was amazed at his "extraordinary talent" and praised him for being "out of the blue", which made her "benefit a lot".
Because Meng Yufan studied thoroughly at night, Meng Yufan was full of energy during the day, dribbling like a fly, obviously a forward, but as a result, he even took over the job of a defender and ran around the field, as if he had inexhaustible energy.
The teammates on the same team had dark circles under their eyes because they stayed up late to study. Even running on the playground, they were chanting words. Compared with the teammates who were like walking dead, Meng Yufan was full of sighs from head to toe. Weird.
"What happened to Fanzi recently? Did you take stimulants?"
"It looks like I'm taking aphrodisiac!"
"He's really weird now. He only went to English class once, and he was happy every day."
"He won't give up on himself, give up English and be willing to be salted fish, right?"
Meng Yufan's special performance even alarmed Coach Wu.
After training one day, Lao Wutou specially called Meng Yufan into the office to talk.
"Meng Yufan, I heard that you haven't taken any English class recently, what's the matter?" Coach Wu looked disapproving, "You can't be so passive about learning! This is a rigid order from the school's academic affairs department. It is stipulated that you guys must take the Level 4 exam this time, this exam is as important as our game, you can win, can't you win an exam?"
Meng Yufan realized that the coach had misunderstood, and he quickly explained: "Coach, no! I also know that my English is not good, so I hired a one-on-one tutor. Now I have to make up for three hours every day."
"real?"
"real!"
Seeing that he had made a promise, Coach Wu recalled that during this time, after training every day, Meng Yufan hurriedly ran out with his schoolbag on his back. Everyone guessed that he had a girlfriend and was going on a date... Could it be that everyone misunderstood
"Forget it, since you said you're studying, then I'll trust you once." Coach Wu took a sip from the big teapot, and then spit out the tea foam, "By the way, the English teacher teaches you both. That teacher, what is your surname? We met at the staff cafeteria at noon today. He asked me why you didn't go to class. He also said that you were his class representative. Don't betray the professor's trust!"
"… "
Meng Yufan frowned. Yu Huaibo cares about him? Why does an English teacher who is transferred from abroad care so much about him
The boy's intuition was always accurate, he always felt that there was something wrong with it, but after thinking about it, he couldn't figure out why Huai Bo would target him.
To this end, he also went to ask Huang Xiaoke, who was also in English class, to inquire.
"Xiaoke, Yu Huai... Professor, do you often mention me in English class?"
"Ah?" Huang Xiaoke looked at him with a narcissistic look, "Why did he mention you even if you didn't go to class?"
"..." Could it be that he was thinking too much
Huang Xiaoke shrugged and said casually, "But Professor Yu often talks about his ex-girlfriend."
Meng Yufan said, "He cheated on so many girls, which ex-girlfriend is she talking about?"
Huang Xiaoke: "In his words, he is the one with the deepest affection."
Meng Yufan asked curiously, "What did he say?"
Huang Xiaoke replied: "He said that he had a very good relationship with that girlfriend and was ready to meet his parents. But he accidentally made the mistake of 'all men make', but his girlfriend didn't listen to his explanation. He broke up and framed him and ruined his reputation, but because he loved her, he chose to forgive her."
Meng Yufan: "…"
He really didn't know how to evaluate this great lover who felt good about himself.
What are "mistakes all men make"? What is "she doesn't listen to my explanation"
Although Meng Yufan didn't know Yu Huaibo's ex-girlfriend, Meng Yufan really wanted to applaud the young lady he had never met.
For this kind of cheating scum, of course, hide as far as you want! Fortunately, they broke up before meeting their parents, otherwise would they still have to talk about marriage
Meng Yufan was more and more glad that he didn't attend Yu Huaibo's class, otherwise he would have vomited out of his stomach when he heard two more words from him.
…
At the end of the day's training, the team members carried their schoolbags and walked towards the library with heavy steps like going to a grave. Next weekend is the time for the fourth-level exam. Everyone is facing a big enemy, and it is even more nervous than the last game.
After all, it is impossible to lose every game in a game, but you may fail to pass the level 4 test again and again!
Take Meng Yufan as an example. He signed up for the Level 4 exam from the first year of freshman, and now he is studying for the Level 1 exam. He has taken the exam eight times in a row, but he has never passed...
Fortunately, he has a good psychological quality. If it were someone else, he would definitely be scared out of the psychological shadow by the Level 4 exam.
"Fanzi, there is an exam next week, are you really not going to the library?" Captain Liu Fangzhou said with concern, "Mr. Yu will also go today to answer questions for everyone."
"No." Meng Yufan decisively refused.
He didn't want to waste time listening to Yu Huaibo's lectures. With this time, he might as well let Sister Xiaoxiao teach him a few more poses... No, knowledge!
While chatting, everyone walked out of the indoor basketball hall. The others formed a group and went to the library. Only Meng Yufan left the team and walked outside the school.
Hwaseong University occupies a large area. The school gate and the library are in two completely different directions. If you don't have a bicycle, you can walk on two legs for at least 20 minutes.
The basketball hall is located between these two points. When he thought that Sister Xiaoxiao was waiting for him outside the gate, the boy was walking faster and faster. He really wished that he could fly up and appear in front of Yang Xiao at once.
Seeing that he was about to reach the school gate after another intersection, an abrupt male voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"Meng Yufan! Go slower!"
Meng Yufan paused and turned to look, but when he saw who the man who stopped him was, he really wanted to pretend he didn't hear it and just leave.
"Meng Yufan, I called you several times just now, and you walked too fast." Yu Huaibo caught up, panting, and after only a few steps, a thin layer oozes out from his forehead. Sweaty, his coat was flying in a mess, and his gold-rimmed glasses slipped down the bridge of his nose, he hurriedly held them up.
The boy looked down at him, suppressed the impatience in his heart, and asked, "Mr. Yu, what's the matter with you?"
"It's not a big deal." Yu Huaibo pretended to say, "I just met you at the school gate, and I just wanted to talk to you about the English grading test."
… This is too good, right
The school entrance and the library are 108,000 miles apart. Meng Yufan really didn't understand why he could meet him here by chance.
The boy was too lazy to make excuses with him, and quickly threw a string of words: "Thank you for your concern, I am preparing for the fourth-level exam, and I will definitely pass it this time. Please let me go, my friend is still waiting at the school gate. I, I'm leaving first."
"Wait..." Yu Huaibo was shocked by his unreasonable play.
How could Meng Yufan wait for him? He immediately took his long legs and walked out of Yu Huaibo's line of sight.
As usual every day, Yang Xiao's car was parked on the side of the road waiting for him.
Seeing the boy jumping into the car, Yang Xiao put down his phone and greeted him, "I'm pretty punctual today."
"Sister Xiaoxiao, stop talking and drive quickly!"
Meng Yufan quickly pulled on the seatbelt and stared at the mirror nervously, as if he were an agent on a secret mission.
Yang Xiao was confused: "What's wrong? Are you so anxious?" While speaking, she started the car and turned out of the parking space.
"I'm hiding." Meng Yufan said in a sullen voice, "When I left the school, I met a particularly annoying teacher."
"Pfft..." Yang Xiao didn't expect this to be the reason, "How old are you, how come you still look like a child, and you're actually tired of studying?"
"I'm not tired of learning, it has something to do with the teacher!" Meng Yufan said seriously, "If you teach me, I can learn for the rest of my life, but if that kind of person teaches me, I feel disgusting to hear a word from him."
"'That kind of person'?"
"...Don't let me repeat his 'great achievements'." Meng Yufan was extremely disgusted, "That kind of slut will be harvested!"
The two people in the carriage did not know that when they drove away, a hurrying figure appeared at the gate of Huacheng University.
Yu Huaibo frowned and looked at the SUV that drove away, and said in a low voice, "It seems that Xu Dong didn't lie to me, Meng Yufan really has nothing to do with Yang Xiao."
That day, he took the video clip to show Xu Dong and asked him if the person in the video was Meng Yufan.
Xu Dong said no.
But Yu Huaibo was suspicious by nature and didn't believe Xu Dong's words. After investigation, he found that Meng Yufan would go out of the school gate and private meetings every night, so he secretly followed him to the school gate today and saw him get into an unfamiliar SUV... He knew that Yang Xiao's car was a I just bought a little red Buick for half a year, and Yang Xiao once said that she hated big and stupid cars like SUVs.
To sum up, the person driving the car must not be Yang Xiao, nor is the person in the video Meng Yufan.
Yu Huaibo praised his excellent reasoning ability in his heart, he finally calmed down, straightened his clothes, and left Shi Shiran.
…
Inside the car, Meng Yufan and Yang Xiao sneezed at the same time.
Yang Xiao rubbed his nose and turned up the heating in the car a few degrees.
She asked, "Did you do your homework today? The exam is next week."
"Of course there is. I have included all the questions. Sister Xiaoxiao, do you want to read it?" Meng Yufan immediately took credit.
"No, you've been studying very steadily lately. I'm sure you'll be fine with your exam next week." Yang Xiao said while driving, "I called you out today because you've been too tight for the past two weeks, so I'll let you go. You relax."
"Relax?" Meng Yufan shook his tail violently, "How to relax? Is it relaxing like yesterday? Or, is it still relaxing in the bathroom like last week? Sister Xiaoxiao, in fact, I always wanted to try it in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows..."
The boy who has driven meat is the most greedy for meat, and any word can trigger his infinite reverie.
"Shut up for me!" Yang Xiao raised his voice first, blushed and stopped his charming fantasies, then complained softly, "... Who taught you these messy things."
- That said, it's too thief to shout to catch a thief.
Yang Xiao quickly brought the topic back: "Tangtang treats you tonight, shut up and don't give her any material that can be written into the novel, do you hear?"
"Huh? Sister Tang is really starting to be a full-time writer?"
"Yeah, she has written this article very smoothly now. I heard that the data is very good and the income is good." Yang Xiao replied, "She is very happy, so she said that she wants to invite us to eat Cantonese food."
"Then what's the name of the novel she wrote?" Meng Yufan asked, "Your mother told me last week that after retirement, she was so bored that she could only read novels on WeChat every day. I can recommend Sister Tang's novels to my aunt. what."
"I don't even know what her novel is called..." Yang Xiao suddenly reacted: "...Wait, when did you have such a good relationship with my mother? I didn't even know my mother could read online novels!"
Meng Yufan didn't answer, and thought silently in his heart: I am saving the country through a curve, taking the mass line - of course, I have to deal with my mother-in-law before I can deal with Sister Xiaoxiao.
…
The place where Tang Shuge treated guests was a Cantonese restaurant. When Yang Xiao followed the navigation, he found that the Michelin logo hung on the door of the Cantonese restaurant! Looking at the diners' reviews on the Internet, I learned that this restaurant has to be booked half a month in advance, and the location is very tight.
Yang Xiao originally thought they were just here for a potluck today, but he never thought that this potluck would be worth a lot of money, even more expensive than the lobster buffet that Tang Shuge had on his birthday!
It's not that Yang Xiao has never eaten at such an expensive restaurant, but she really didn't want to let her best friend spend money. She flipped through the menu and closed it immediately.
"Tangtang, even if you treat a guest, you don't need to spend so much money." Yang Xiao whispered, "Let's sneak away while the waiter isn't paying attention, how about it? I think there's a hot pot restaurant next door, waiting for a table. Not much, only eighty per capita."
Tang Shuge hurriedly held her down: "If you don't walk, you can afford lobster meals, what can't you afford Michelin!"
Meng Yufan also stood in Yang Xiao's team: "Last time was your birthday, it's nothing to spend an occasional expense, and it's a self-help, you can eat it back. But this Michelin restaurant is expensive and the amount of food is small. The three of us won't be able to get out without two thousand yuan!"
"It doesn't matter! Since I said treat, you don't have to be afraid to eat me up." Tang Shuge waved his hand arrogantly, "My article is so successful, I can't do without your help~ Until I reach the pinnacle of my life, the medal of military merit. There will definitely be your names on it!"
"...Tangtang, I don't think this is right." Yang Xiao and her have been best friends for more than ten years. She thinks that the person who knows her the most in this world, apart from Tang's father and Tang's mother, is herself. She is suspicious. Looking at her, she asked tentatively, "Are you hiding something from us?"
Tang Shuge had a ghost in his heart, and when she was cheated, he immediately stammered: "I, I have nothing to hide from you. I just want to express my gratitude. If you hadn't persuaded me to become a full-time writer, I would have Won't… "
Yang Xiao said word by word: "Tang Shuge, do you dare to swear that if you tell a lie, your idol will officially announce with the target of the scandal tomorrow, marry your son, and airborne hot search!"
Tang Shuge shuddered, looked at Meng Yufan in a panic, and asked in a low voice, "Da Meng, when you make a mistake, is she so scary?"
Meng Yufan nodded slightly, and gave her a look of "confession, leniency, and strictness".
"..." Tang Shuge shook again and said embarrassingly, "That... I suddenly remembered, I really want to tell you what the subject of my novel is."
So, Tang Shuge honestly, well-behaved, and humbled, retell the plot of her new article.
Yang Xiao: "…"
Meng Yufan: "…"
Tang Shuge blinked his eyes and asked in a low voice, "Do you like this story?"
90% of Tang Shuge's novel is an independent and original story, but the setting of "renting a boyfriend" was born out of Yang Xiao's real experience. Although Tang Shuge also used her as a prototype to write novels before, but at that time she was a domineering princess, a domineering daughter-in-law, and a domineering female general. Even if they had the same name and surname, Yang Xiao would only find it interesting and would not have any sense of substitution.
But this time is different. The story of "renting out a boyfriend" actually happened to Yang Xiao, and the hero and heroine in the text eventually became a couple and entered the palace of marriage; but in contrast, she and Meng Yu Fan's relationship has not been concluded until now.
The rental boyfriend company closed down, but the contract between them continued inexplicably, and crossed the line again and again. Now they are completely maintained by a strange "tacit understanding".
Will they end up together like the protagonist of the novel...
Yang Xiao refused to think about this question.
She looked at Meng Yufan next to her subconsciously, and found that Meng Yufan was staring at her with burning eyes.
There was something surging in the boy's eyes, as if the emotion contained in it was about to spew out in the next second.
Yang Xiao couldn't resist those pure and fiery gazes.
"... I'm sorry." Before she could finish her sentence, Yang Xiao had already put down the tableware and left the dining table as if to escape. Looking at the direction, she did not go to the bathroom, but went to the courtyard to breathe.
The boy looked at the back of her leaving in a hurry, a burst of loneliness mixed with disappointment, and climbed up between his brows.
Tang Shuge sat embarrassedly at the table, thinking that she shouldn't have a sudden thought of treating guests to dinner!
She felt anxious for her best friend, looking at the little wolf dog's expression, it was as if she had been abandoned by the owner.
But she is an outsider after all. No matter how clear the observer is, she can't intervene rashly, otherwise it will definitely have the opposite effect.
"That, Da Meng, laugh at her..." After hesitating for a long time, Tang Shuge still couldn't help speaking for his girlfriend, "... She really wasn't like this before. I've known her for so many years, and she has always been a person who dares to love and hate. The girl. If you like it, just say you like it; if you hate it, just say you hate it; but she has experienced two failed relationships after graduation. Let’s use an analogy like this—”
Tang Shuge moved the water cup in front of him, walking alternately with the two fingers of his right hand like a villain: "This is a lake, it looks very bright, but it is actually full of mud. She jumped into the lake before she was ready. Is it scary? For other people, of course it is scary, but she is Yang Xiao, and she used all her strength to climb out of this mud."
Tang Shuge moved over the second water glass: "she thought, I've been caught once, and I must not make mistakes again. So on the road after that, she walked carefully and avoided all traps. She met a second person again. , She examined all aspects of him, and finally decided to give herself another chance to jump into this lake - as a result, there is deeper mud under this lake."
Worse than drowning, when you think you won't drown again, drowning a second time at the most unexpected moment.
Tang Shuge glanced at Meng Yufan and pointed out: "Now, she has encountered the third lake, this lake is more beautiful, wider, gentler, and far better than the lake she has seen before. —But she doesn't dare to swim now."
Yang Xiao can play by the lake, but she doesn't dare to let herself dive into the bottom of the lake.
Because she was afraid that this time, she would not be able to float again.
Meng Yufan's lips moved, and the loss in his eyes gradually faded away, leaving only full of pity.
If he could, he would open his arms and let his girl swim in his arms for a lifetime.
His voice was hoarse: "Sister Tang, can you tell me in detail about her last boyfriend?"
"Huh? Didn't you ask her?"
"I thought she didn't want to say it, so I didn't ask."
Tang Shuge shook his head in embarrassment: "That's her private affairs, I can't tell you too much detail about what happened - in short, you only need to know that her ex-boyfriend Yu Huaibo is in estrus everywhere, and JJ grows in his brain! That stupid X is lucky not to have STDs so far!"
"..." Meng Yufan was stunned, "What do you think her ex-boyfriend's name is?"
"Yu Huaibo—wait, do you know him???"
Of course Meng Yufan knew him!
He confirmed again: "Yu Huaibo, Huai of Huai Shui, wave of waves? A teacher at Huacheng University of Foreign Studies?"
Tang Shuge couldn't stop nodding: "It's him, it's him!"
Meng Yufan's brain immediately turned rapidly, and he connected all Yu Huaibo's strange behavior in the recent period.
... Could it be that Yu Huaibo knew about him and Yang Xiao, and only approached him on purpose
The boy's knuckled fingers kept tapping on the table, and his eyes gradually became cold - Tang Shuge shuddered, she never thought that she would see such a cold expression on this sunny boy.
Tang Shuge asked cautiously, "You... why don't you speak?"
"I'm thinking," Meng Yufan said solemnly, "There are no surveillance cameras anywhere in our school."
"… what?"
He suddenly grinned, and regained the appearance of a sunshine boy.
But what he said had nothing to do with the word "Sunshine" - "To beat someone with a sack, you have to avoid the police uncle."
