Xu Jiao saw the blush on her face up close, the shallow trail on her cheeks, as if the clouds from the sky flew down and hung on her cheeks.
There was also a mist in his eyes.
It's like being bullied.
With hindsight, she realized the current posture of the two of them, let go of her hand, and took a step back, leaving enough space for Shen Yelan to recover, her tone was light, but she listened very politely.
"Sorry," she said.
Shen Yelan didn't dare to look at her, she looked at the ground at her toes in a panic, and stammered back: "No, it's fine..."
She could hardly hear Xu Jiao's voice, and her ears were filled with the sound of her own heartbeat and blood flow. The rational world collapsed in an instant, just like the world where the pillar was broken in ancient times. The flood was raging. It is a rolling river.
The reason, calmness, and thinking that blocked the way were all submerged by this flood.
Just as she was trying to regain her composure, Xu Jiao looked to the side. Seeing that no one paid attention to the two of them in the busy street, there was a thought in her calm eyes.
Looking at Shen Yelan's performance just now, it doesn't seem like she really hates herself, but...
The system clearly stated that the favorability is -50.
what happened
She asked in her heart, "Did you download too many junk files recently, and the program has a virus?" In fact, the favorability degree is not negative, but positive, right
The system flatly denied: "Impossible, I am a technology that surpasses the existing plane, and the anti-virus software that comes with it is the most advanced. There is nothing here that can affect me."
Xu Jiao raised her brows with a half-smile, "Oh? Then tell me, what's going on with Shen Yelan?"
She calmly concluded: "I'm pretty sure she's not lying."
There must be something wrong between Shen Yelan and the system.
The system went down for a few seconds, and involuntarily raised doubts: "It should be a problem with the detection principle, I think."
Xu Jiao gave it enough time, only suppressed the matter temporarily, and turned to look at Shen Yelan. The blush on the other side's face faded a lot. Although she didn't dare to look at her, it was better than before. Many.
She didn't think much about the meaning of the word "like" at all, she just thought it was Shen Yelan's words that she was forced to be anxious, and didn't pay attention to the words when she was in a hurry. It is an illusion of dislike or like.
After knowing that Shen Yelan was not malicious towards her, Xu Jiao put her school uniform in the pocket of her trousers with one hand, smiled slightly, and said to Shen Yelan:
"This is the second time you've helped me."
"This time, haven't you thought about what you want in return?"
Xu Jiao was ready for Shen Yelan to play Lei Feng's quality again.
For example, he opened his mouth and said to her, "No need", "I didn't think about it that much at the time." After all, according to Shen Yelan's character, it shouldn't be—
"I..." Shen Yelan mustered up her courage and whispered a sound, her eyes flickered slightly, whether it was her eyes moving or the light dancing playfully in her eyes.
After seeing her expression clearly, Xu Jiao's thoughts stopped abruptly.
In this way, it is really asking for oneself.
Immediately afterwards, interest flashed in her eyes, and she was suddenly curious about what Shen Yelan was going to say. She raised her chin and encouraged, "Huh? Tell me, I will definitely help if I can."
She knew that Shen Yelan was not trying to repay her favor, and since the other party could bring it up, it meant that she had been troubled for a long time.
What could it be
Shen Yelan looked at her very friendly appearance, and the words reached her throat, but she still pressed it down, and turned to say: "...No, it's nothing, you're fine."
She really didn't look like she was going to bring up the unpleasant things.
But Xu Jiao's curiosity has been completely hooked by her, even if she doesn't continue, she has no intention of letting go of this topic: "Then let me guess, if I guess right, I will help you solve it. ,How about it?"
Shen Yelan stared at her blankly, unable to react.
It's very strange, Xu Jiao's eyes are not very aggressive, nor the kind of viciousness that a school bully should have. Most of the time, other people can't see anything from these eyes, as if this person is always in the heart. state.
Like a lake with no wind and no waves, it is so clear that only one can see its own reflection.
But such a pair of eyes-
It made Shen Yelan feel like she had been seen through.
Not even the soul can escape.
Xu Jiao's voice rang out unhurriedly: "The girl who came to trouble you last time came home with you, right? They bullied you like this at school, so it shouldn't be much better at home. It feels bad to be in a family like that, doesn't it?"
"Of course, this is just my guess. If I'm wrong, I'll apologize in advance."
Perhaps it was because the tone of voice was too gentle. It was obviously something like touching someone else's scar, so Shen Yelan didn't feel disgusted when she heard it.
Probably because this person gives the impression of being too strong, so as long as he is polite, he will make the other side of the conversation feel flattered, how can he care about superfluous things
Shen Yelan bit her lower lip, shook her head, and whispered, "You...you're right."
But such a problem, can I expect Xu Jiao to help
Xu Jiao stared at her for a while, then pulled the corners of her lips, showing a shallow smile, tilted her head, and asked, "Do you want to hear the solution I have prepared for you?"
Shen Yelan didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly, she forgot to say anything and just stared at Xu Jiao with wide eyes.
Xu Jiao pretended she wanted to hear:
"You should be worried about tuition fees and accommodation. It's very simple. I'll lend you money and pay it back to me when you're in college or have the ability to work part-time. What do you think?"
Shen Yelan subconsciously felt that this would be very troublesome.
But…
She couldn't resist the temptation to have a closer relationship with Xu Jiao.
In the end, she asked a question that she felt very angry: "Will it... will it be very troublesome for you? Besides, my relatives always use me as a free babysitter. If I leave like this, they will make trouble... "
Xu Jiao bluntly interrupted her hesitation: "My proposal, you just have to answer whether you accept it or not, accept it, and I'll take care of the rest. If you don't accept it, I'll just pretend that I didn't say anything."
It's rare that she has the will to take the initiative to revise the plot—
Shen Yelan, don't let me down.
Aware of the seriousness in Xu Jiao's words, Shen Yelan swayed in her heart for a moment, and finally, as if she couldn't bear the temptation of snakes in the Garden of Eden, she took the initiative to pluck the forbidden fruit and tasted Eve, she heard herself answer in a low voice :
"accept."
She will never forget this afternoon.
She once thought that she would go through all kinds of hardships and pay a huge price to climb out of this mud pit, but the gods and Buddhas who have never turned a blind eye to her fate seem to have finally opened their eyes at this moment—
Give her a pity.
Do not.
Not a god, but Xu Jiao.
It was Xu Jiao who saved her and changed her fate.
Shen Yelan chewed this person's name over and over again in her heart, as if she wanted to carve this name into her bone marrow.
at the same time-
Xu Jiao heard the system's slightly surprised voice: "It has been detected that the protagonist's favorability rating has changed! Current favorability rating: -80!"
Obviously, the system is a little confused about this value now.
Xu Jiao wasn't too surprised. Her tone of voice, which had always been difficult to raise, changed, and she replied, "Oh? It seems that this fierce-medicine is good. Should I continue to do better?"
She planned to make a phone call to her family for a while. Although the original owner's parents were just like the background board, the tool person used well and had a wonderful effect. After thinking about it for a while, she went to the direction of the home, not forgetting to turn her head. With Shen Yelan said:
"By the way, if you can't find a house to live in temporarily, there are extra rooms in my house that can be rented to you. I will give you a 20% discount on the rent. You can consider it."
"Also, if you are under pressure to communicate with your relatives, you can go back to the head teacher of Class 1 to tell you about your situation. They will not want to see an excellent student like you whose future is affected by a bad family."
Shen Yelan looked at her back, listened to her relaxed tone, and in a few words helped herself figure out a solution, followed in a daze, took two steps, and waited for Xu Jiao to look at her puzzled, then she did not know what to do. In a low voice came a sentence:
"I… can I start renting today?"
