Wash your face and change your clothes.
"Let's go!" Sister Pi kicked the door open, "Don't make people wait too long!"
The third child dismissed him from behind, "Last night, you secretly chatted with Bean Sprout on Wechat under the covers, and the moment you saw Xu Hui, you went crazy like this. I said you are a little bit ashamed, okay?"
In the corridor, Sister Pi looked up to the sky and screamed.
"Hahaha! It's as if you didn't have the same video as Da Liu last night!"
The third child kicked Sister Pi, and Sister Pi punched the third child.
At last they joined hands.
Sister Pi: "Appreciation, pure appreciation."
"That's right." The third child nodded, and the two emphasized each word as if they had reached a secret agreement.
"Pure, appreciative, appreciative!"
"It's a crazy couple." The youngest couldn't help but said after seeing this scene.
Bai Lu locked the door, patted the youngest, "Let's go."
The two in front hugged each other, the youngest and Bai Lu walked behind.
"Is there anything you want to eat?" Bai Lu asked the youngest.
"It's all right."
After going down two floors, the youngest girl suddenly asked, "Why did he suddenly invite us to dinner?" He whispered in Bai Lu's ear, "Isn't it just... what happened to that?"
Bai Lu paused, and was just about to tell a few people that it's better not to mention this matter in front of Xu Hui, but Sister Pi and the third child had already gone down to the first floor.
Xu Hui was waiting at the door on the first floor, and when Sister Pi saw it, she bowed her hands:
"congratulations!"
Xu Hui was a little confused, "What's wrong?"
"Congratulations on your catastrophe—"
Before he could die, he was dragged back by the third child.
"I'm sorry." The third child waved his hand at Xu Hui, "She's sick, so leave her alone."
Xu Hui paused for half a second.
Bai Lu noticed his brief pause and knew that he had already sensed what Sister Pi was going to say.
Bai Lu asked, "What to eat?"
After graduation, most college students sum up their ivory tower life and feel that even with the addition of complicated professional courses and endless papers, the most difficult subject in four years is still these three words——
what to eat.
This question is easy to understand and permeates life. On average, each person is asked at least four to five times a day.
Sister Pi was successfully distracted, looking at the third child: "What do you eat?"
The third child gave the classic answer, "Anything."
Sister Pi asked the youngest again, "What about you?"
The youngest gave the second classic answer in a low voice: "It's all right."
Looking at Xu Hui finally, "You treat, you decide!"
Xu Hui seemed to be waiting for Bai Lu's opinion, but Bai Lu didn't say anything. He thought about it for a while, then gave up and said, "Don't let me make the decision, let's decide."
Sister Pi smirked: "Then we picked the expensive one?"
Xu Hui nodded and said lightly, "Okay."
Sister Pi took a deep breath of intoxication, and said to everyone: "To be honest, this is also when a man is the most handsome! Let's go, let's go!"
Fifteen minutes later, five people sat on the third floor of the cafeteria.
"..."
Xu Hui was a little cautious.
At a round table, Bai Lu was sitting opposite him, studying the menu with Sister Pi.
"In..." Xu Hui's voice was extremely subtle amidst the heated discussion, but it still caught everyone's attention.
Four pairs of eyes lifted from the menu and aimed at him in unison.
Sister Pi pouted and asked him to continue.
Xu Hui gestured around with his fingers, looked at Bai Lu, obviously asking her:
"Want... to eat here?"
"Why?" Bai Lu didn't change her expression, "You look down on our cafeteria?"
Xu Hui shook his head, lowered his eyes, "No."
"The cafeteria is delicious." The youngest whispered to Xu Hui, "And we're in the cafeteria on the third floor." With a very serious expression, she emphasized to Xu Hui, "It's a high-end cafeteria."
The so-called high-end canteens don’t need to cook, they just take menus to order like ordinary restaurants, and the prices are cheaper than restaurants. Many teachers will come here to eat at noon.
The youngest's solemn attitude cannot be doubted, Xu Hui could only sit patiently, watching the four girls pick and choose for a long time, and finally chose four dishes and one soup.
"We paid the bill first." The waiter stood aside, "Cash or credit card?"
Xu Hui looked up at her, "How much?"
"Seventy-six five dollars."
The moment Xu Hui opened the wallet, his mood and expression were a bit complicated.
"Add another bowl of pumpkin porridge." Bai Lu said to the waiter.
Feeling a little hot at the base of his ears, Xu Hui looked down at his wallet to cover it up.
Ask softly: "How much is it now?"
The waiter wrote down the pumpkin porridge and tore up the list.
"Seventy-eight five dollars!"
Have a good meal.
Xu Hui didn't talk much, but everyone was considerate of him, and with Sister Pi around, the scene never cooled down.
"We were late for the promotion of your store two days ago, but our room manager at Hangdian has already contacted us. Recently, there are too many classes in school and we can't spare time. We will go as soon as we have time." Sister Pi explained to Xu Hui Module course process.
Xu Hui said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, just play with it when you have time."
"How is your store business recently?" The third child also asked, "Has our publicity achieved results?"
Xu Hui smiled: "Not bad, it works."
Everyone felt that today's Xu Hui was indescribably considerate, and nodded in satisfaction, "That's good, it won't be a waste of our efforts!"
Because the atmosphere was really good, the topic at the dinner table gradually shifted from module class to private life.
Sister Pi scratched her face and said, "There's something... We've been wanting to ask you for a while, so we're afraid of being abrupt."
Xu Hui finished his meal early, and said softly, "It's okay, just ask."
Sister Pi half-closed her eyes, "Are you really okay with the one in our class?"
Xu Hui didn't understand, "Huh?"
"That's who." Sister Pi couldn't help curling her lips when she read her name, "Huang Xinying."
Xu Hui stopped for a few seconds. Everyone thought he was thinking about complex emotional issues, but Bai Lu could see that his mind was empty.
He is like a reshuffled card, completely out of sequence. He is not yet familiar with the cards, and he is not sure which card is placed where.
Xu Hui was indeed stunned.
It took him two seconds to think about who Huang Xinying was, and another three seconds to match the character with the image in his brain.
When he came back to his senses, his first reaction was to look at Bai Lu, and then he stiffly looked away a second before meeting her gaze.
"You..." He answered Sister Pi's question, "Why do you ask that?"
Sister Pi reassured him, "Hey, don't think too much, let's chat casually. It doesn't matter how handsome you are, let's gossip about it."
Xu Hui's answer is very simple.
"No."
Sister Pi's eyes lit up all of a sudden, "Really?"
As if Xu Hui was too lazy to answer such a question, he just shook his head slowly.
Sister Pi pressed her step by step, "Then do you have a girlfriend now?"
Still shaking his head.
"Oh!" Everyone exclaimed, "You are a waste of resources!"
"Why don't you find a girlfriend?"
Xu Hui paused for a while on this question, and then said meaningfully: "Women are too scary."
Bai Lu glanced over, but Xu Hui naturally didn't catch it.
Sister Pi and the third child said tightly, "What's scary! It's not scary at all! Let the sisters love you!"
Xu Hui suddenly raised his head and asked Sister Pi, "Are they all sisters?"
Sister Pi thought for a while, "I remember you were with me for a year, how many months?"
"September six."
The third child: "Fucking Virgo." Then he said, "I don't think the name of this constellation is very good. It's so embarrassing for male compatriots. If there is a Virgo, there should also be a Virgo."
Xu Hui: "..."
Sister Pi pushed the third child aside, "On September 6th, the only room manager in our house is older than you. She's born in April."
Xu Hui let out a long sigh, "April."
Bai Lu: "..."
Put down the chopsticks, "Have you finished eating, let's go."
After finishing the meal with gags, Sister Pi, as a representative, expressed her gratitude to Xu Hui for his "generosity". Everyone felt that the cooperation between 517 and Party A had reached a new level in an inexplicable atmosphere.
"Then let's do this today." Sister Pi rubbed her hands together, "We'll go to your store when we're free, and we'll talk in detail!"
Strolling outside, Sister Pi and the third child were at the front, discussing enthusiastically the repertoire to be updated in the afternoon, the youngest was a little sleepy, and yawned and went down the stairs.
Just as Bai Lu wanted to ask her if she was tired, someone grabbed her fingertips.
The index finger of the right hand was gently pinched and pulled back.
Bai Lu couldn't pull it out the first time, so he pulled it back again.
The place where the two hands touch is so small that every nerve in the rest of the body is extremely sensitive except here.
Walking around the corner, Bai Lu finally withdrew her hand calmly, and when she reached the entrance of the cafeteria, Bai Lu said, "You guys go back first."
"Where are you going?"
"I'll come back later."
When they were gone, Bai Lu turned her head, Xu Hui stood behind her and looked at her, waiting for her to speak expressionlessly.
Bai Lu: "Are you full?"
nod.
"Want to go back?"
Shake your head.
"Pumpkin stuck your mouth shut?"
Xu Hui rolled his eyes, turned his face lazily, and looked to the side.
Can't always stand at the entrance of the cafeteria, Bai Lu asked: "Do you want to walk with me for a while, are you afraid of the heat?"
Xu Hui finally appreciated his face, hummed, and took the lead.
At noon on the weekend, the campus was very empty. When we came to the playground, there were only three people exercising on the plastic track.
Bai Lu and Xu Hui walked slowly around the green field in the middle.
In less than four laps, Xu Hui couldn't take it anymore.
Bai Lu led him to a shady place in the stands to sit down and rest.
There was a thin layer of sweat on Xu Hui's forehead, his cheeks were rarely flushed, and his breath was slightly uneven.
Seeing his appearance, Bai Lu said, "Wait for me." After getting off the stands, a few minutes later, she came back with a bottle of mineral water.
Xu Hui took it and frowned.
Bai Lu: "It's at room temperature, so don't drink cold ones."
Xu Hui looked at it while holding the mineral water, Bai Lu: "Do I have to open it for you?"
She inadvertently saw Xu Hui's hand, which was trembling slightly.
"Having a little heatstroke?"
Xu Hui: "No."
He looks very lethargic. Bai Lu thought for a while, brought over the mineral water, and said in a disgusted tone, "You're too delicate."
After taking the water bottle into her hand, Bai Lu twisted it vigorously for a long time but failed to open it, her delicate brows were tightly frowned.
"Why is it so tight..."
Xu Hui looked at it coldly, and after a while, he snatched the level back and unscrewed it in an instant.
He couldn't help snorting, thinking how tight it was.
With a sarcastic expression still on her face, when she turned her head, she saw Bai Lu hugging her legs and looking at herself with a half-smile.
Are you kidding me...
Realizing that he was fooled by the simplest trap, Xu Hui swallowed his breath. His skin is fair, so any change in color will look particularly obvious.
On the clean cheeks, spread the rouge that seemed to be smeared on the tissue paper.
I don't know whether to be embarrassed or angry.
"Hey." He didn't care about it, raised his head, and drank half a bottle of water in one go.
The wide playground is wind blowing, comfortable and pleasant.
While resting, Bai Lu noticed that Xu Hui kept pressing her temples.
"Do you have a headache?"
"fine."
"How did you sleep?"
Xu Hui shook his head honestly.
"not so good."
"Take it easy."
Xu Hui had a sullen face and didn't speak.
It could be seen that the boy in his early twenties couldn't walk four laps on the playground, which made him feel frustrated.
"It's not something to rush." Bai Lu said, "You didn't become like this in a day."
Xu Hui covered his face with his hands, so she couldn't see his expression.
"You should still be lying in the hospital." She said again.
Shaking his head lightly, Xu Hui lowered his hand, looking a little cold with his head down.
"My body has let me play."
Bai Lu disagreed, "...it's not that exaggerated."
Xu Hui turned to look at her.
Bai Lu gradually felt that since he woke up from the chaos step by step, his gaze was changing every moment—it seemed that every second was clearer than the last.
He said lightly: "When I look back on the days before, I don't even know what I was doing."
Bai Lu didn't speak, and he continued talking to himself: "At that time, I watched them play, and I followed suit. If they wanted to make money, I would make money too. Anyway, as long as someone is around, if it's just me, I didn't know what I was going to do."
"Now." Bai Lu asked.
Xu Hui thought for a while, but didn't answer. He looked into the distance and leaned back.
After a while, Xu Hui said, "Do you have any expectations?"
"Ok?"
"for me."
Xu Hui's eyes were dark, and he looked at her calmly, "What do you expect from me?"
Bai Lu nodded, "Yes."
Xu Hui raised his chin slightly, motioning for her to continue.
Bai Lu looked at him for a long time before saying, "I hope you can live a more luxurious life."
Xu Hui frowned slightly, thinking for a while.
"How luxurious, what level of life do you think is considered luxurious."
Bai Lu rested her cheeks and looked at him seriously.
"At least three meals a day."
Xu Hui: "..."
"Eight hours of sleep."
"An hour in the sun."
"Middle-aged people don't have a beer belly."
"Old age is not blind."
…
She narrated in a serious manner, Xu Hui listened for a while, and finally laughed.
He knew she was teasing him, putting him at ease.
So he smiled and turned his head away, pressing his palms on his neck, feeling unspeakably sad.
Bai Lu heard Xu Hui's low voice.
"... Are you tired when you are with me?"
Bai Lu didn't respond.
"I know." Xu Hui still tilted his head, Bai Lu could only see his hands and soft black hair, "It's very tiring being with me... although none of you have ever said that."
Bai Lu: "You—"
Xu Hui: "Stay with me for half a month."
Bai Lu looked at him, Xu Hui turned his head, his eyes were light and calm.
"Half a month, okay?"
She originally wanted to ask why it was half a month, and what he wanted to do after half a month, but looking at his appearance, she felt that there was no need to speak.
He is different from before, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him as reborn. Although he is still a little ignorant now, his flesh and blood are rapidly becoming stronger and thicker at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He will gradually find that he has many things to do.
She can't control his thoughts, and she can't trap him in one place.
So she said only one word.
"it is good."
After two minutes of silence, Xu Hui whispered, "I have another question."
Bai Lu: "Tell me."
He looked over with a cold face, "What month and date were you born?"
Bai Lu: "..."
"April four."
"Humph."
