"Hey, hey, hey, why are you running so fast? The teacher is not a tiger and can't eat us. Let's find out what's going on first..."
When leaving the school, it was Xia Xu who dragged Tang Youxin, but when going back, it was the other way around.
After running for a distance, Xia Xu resisted a little, and when Tang Youxin couldn't drag him anymore, he let go.
"It's over. It's all your fault."
Tang Youxin wanted to cry but had no tears. She squatted down with her head in her hands, and her voice became tearful.
"Stop, stop, stop. Don't cry so quickly. What are you talking about? Explain it clearly!"
Xia Xu said that he was still a little confused.
"If Teacher Liu saw us eating together, he would definitely think we were in a premature relationship, otherwise... otherwise he wouldn't have..."
Tang Youxin's words made Xia Xu feel overwhelmed.
His concept of identity has not yet changed, and he has really forgotten that premature love is a serious crime in the "beautiful campus life".
He is a tough guy and doesn't think there is anything wrong with having a relationship, but Tang Youxin obviously doesn't think so. For her, this is probably an embarrassing thing. If the teacher finds out, she would be socially doomed and feel as if the sky is falling.
"No, don't cry first. We are just having a meal together. How can it be possible to talk about premature love..."
"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with us. It's just a misunderstanding. I'll go in first and explain it to the teacher."
Xia Xu couldn't hold it in any longer. It wasn't because he was worried about the consequences or anything. It was just that Tang Youxin's soft voice with a crying tone was so devastating that it almost broke his heart.
After finally calming her down, Tang Youxin ignored him and ran away with her head down.
Soon, with the ringing of the lunch bell, all the students returned to their classrooms in an orderly manner like a swarm of bees returning to their nests, and the noisy and bustling campus gradually returned to tranquility.
"I'll go in first, you wait at the door."
Xia Xu and Tang Youxin came to the door of the office. Xia Xu asked Tang Youxin to wait outside and went in first.
This office is not Liu Xiulan's independent office, but a collective office space for all the class teachers on this floor.
Fortunately, it was lunch time and he might not have come back from lunch or he was out on patrol, so there was only a skinny male teacher with glasses in the office.
And Liu Xiulan may have also greeted in advance. When he saw Xia Xu come in, the male teacher with glasses looked at him with a smile and left the office consciously.
Liu Xiulan's voice rang out at the same time: "Do you know why I called you here?"
Xia Xu nodded slightly: "Is it because of what happened between me and Tang Youxin?"
"That's right."
Liu Xiulan was a little surprised at the calmness of the student in front of her, but she still said: "I understand that you may have some ignorant feelings for each other, but high school is the time for you to study, especially since the college entrance examination is only a few months away. At this time, you should study wholeheartedly..."
After thinking about her words for a while, she continued, "Tang Youxin's family is very poor. For her, the college entrance examination may be her only chance to succeed. And don't blame the teacher for being blunt. Although Xia Xu, you didn't apply for a scholarship, the teacher knows a little about your situation. Talking about love at this time will distract you and affect your future..."
"Teacher Liu, there may be some misunderstanding here."
Xia Xu interrupted, "I just saw Tang Youxin only eat two steamed buns for lunch, so I thought of treating her to a bowl of noodles."
"That's best. Just treat it as the teacher's nagging. You're a boy, so the teacher's words may be a little harsh."
Liu Xiulan nodded slightly, then said, "Go back and take a nap, and call Tang Youxin over."
"Teacher Liu, there's no need to call me Tang Youxin anymore. It's enough for you to explain it to me clearly."
Xia Xu quickly spoke up, smiling and apologizing, saying with a playful smile: "After all, Tang Youxin is a girl, and she is a very timid and introverted type. She is not as shameless as me. It would be embarrassing to call her over, and it would not be good for people to see us both being called to the office together.
We really don't have anything, we are just classmates, not even friends. Look, if you have any other advice for me, I will tell her when I get back, how about that? "
"Then should I still praise you for being responsible?"
Liu Xiulan scolded him unhappily, but she was actually a little surprised in her heart.
The natural authority of teachers and class teachers is still quite intimidating in junior and senior high schools. Normally, students are called to the office for talks and basically do the same in a submissive manner. Even the more unruly ones will feel uneasy and restrain themselves when they come to the office.
However, Xia Xu remained extremely calm from beginning to end. He was even able to proactively discuss the terms with her in a clear and organized manner. It can be said that he is indeed more mature than most students.
"Forget the compliments. Just finish what you're going to say. I promise to tell you the truth."
Xia Xu laughed.
"Okay, my name is Tang Youxin, it's about the scholarship, go back and have lunch."
Liu Xiulan smiled and waved her hand.
"Okay."
After hearing this, Xia Xu finally felt relieved and turned around and walked out.
"How...how?"
Tang Youxin, who was waiting anxiously at the office door, saw Xia Xu coming out and immediately asked hopefully.
"It's okay. We just wanted to have a meal. It's not easy to be misunderstood. Teacher Liu came to us because of the scholarship and asked me why I didn't apply for it."
Xia Xu told a little white lie and urged, "Teacher Liu is calling you about the scholarship. Go in quickly."
"oh."
Tang Youxin said "Oh" obediently, nodded with a blushing face, trotted to the door, opened a crack, peeked around, and then squeezed in sideways.
"I really need to find a way to make some money first, and... the college entrance examination is a bit of a headache."
Watching Tang Youxin go in, Xia Xu walked towards the classroom, frowning and thinking.
After all, he is an adult with a certain degree of cognition and acceptance of reality. Although Liu Xiulan has tried her best to be tactful, he can still understand her meaning.
To put it bluntly, if you are a rich second-generation who can support others for a lifetime without worries, it would be fine. But you are an orphan and it is difficult for you to support yourself. Why don't you go and date Tang Youxin? Don't influence her at the critical moment of the college entrance examination, harming others and yourself and ruining your future.
But this time he was really wronged. Although he had the idea of seeing the "real face of Mount Lu", God had mercy on him, he was just purely touched by Tang Youxin's stupidity and simply invited her to dinner.
Besides, he was a time traveler and he had done well in the past. He thought that it would be no problem to at least provide for the two of them. Moreover, he had the very practical cheat code of attribute checking, so it would not be difficult for him to make money in the future.
But now, money is indeed a problem. He needs money to secure his life and he also needs the first pot of gold.
The original body was actually quite miserable. His parents died young and he lived with his grandmother. He originally left some inheritance, but his grandmother also passed away last year. There was no one in the family to handle the funeral, so he entrusted it entirely to a funeral company. Even if it was just a simple one, it cost a lot. Now he only has three or four thousand yuan left in his savings.
This amount of money was enough to get me through high school graduation. I had a strong sense of self-esteem so I didn't apply for scholarships or anything like that. I planned to sell or rent out the house after the college entrance exam and go to live in a university dormitory. My arrangements were quite good.
But he is not the original body, and he is unwilling to live a miserable life.
He would feel guilty about anything he did if he had no money in his pocket, not to mention that he wanted to rely on his special abilities to recruit talents, start a company and make a lot of money, so he needed start-up capital.
