Of course Su Xian didn't dare to ask these overly personal questions, and suddenly she realized that her former teacher and current senior brother was also a person with a bad temper.
Because right now, Zuo Yueyao's expression has changed.
While speaking, he was too lazy to even raise his head. He just stared at the book in his hand. The atmosphere suddenly became cold. Su Xian regretted deeply that he should not have done such a thankless task.
As a result, Su Xian didn't even dare to speak about serious matters.
I don’t know why, but the person who could yell at Zuo Yueyao two years ago is actually a little afraid of him today, two years later.
Could it be that his aura has become stronger again
What a damn aura!
"Brother?"
It's impossible to make this trip in vain. As a flexible woman, Su Xian mustered up the courage she had when kicking pebbles on the roadside in front of him two years ago, and she also deliberately made her voice sound humble.
"You talk, I listen."
Sure enough, the woman's sixth sense told her that Teacher Zuo was really unhappy. She was so weak that she didn't play any role at all.
"I was forced into this today. Someone specifically asked me to help him. I'm new here and I don't want to offend my classmates." Su Xian tried to explain.
"So you choose to offend me?" Zuo Yueyao finally took his eyes away from the book, closed it, and looked at Su Xian with a blank expression, "Smart people would not choose to offend me."
"But it's better to offend you than to offend her." Su Xian said this with confidence. She was quite confident about this.
"oh?"
"At least you won't do anything to me, but I can't guarantee that others will do the same, right?"
The man who originally looked a little strange suddenly returned to normal and chuckled: "You are quite clear-headed."
Su Xian finally felt relieved.
As long as he smiles, everything will be easy.
“I want to apply for a scholarship, but I don’t know the process. Can you teach me?”
"Is the monthly living expenses not enough?" He pushed the paper bag between the two of them aside and said, "You can try to get a scholarship."
"I want both grants and scholarships, and if I have time, I would also like to apply for a work-study program."
"Are you here to make money?"
"With the little wealth my family has, how could you not know it if others don't know it? Every time a thief comes to my house, he will leave a few hundred dollars with tears in his eyes before leaving."
She said sad words but had no intention of gaining sympathy. In her eyes, the word "poor" was just a simple word and would never rise to the spiritual level.
This is a girl who is always full of hope for life and never gives up on her efforts.
"I remember your village committee provides subsidies for those who are admitted to university."
"Yes." Su Xian was grateful when he mentioned this: "Uncle Zhao gave me money when I came here. I kept some for living expenses and travel expenses, and left the rest to my dad. Uncle Zhao said that he has helped me transfer this year's tuition to school."
"I have hands and feet. I can't always rely on the village committee's relief to make a living. If someone else gets admitted to university, the village committee will have some money to continue to subsidize them."
"These are not issues you need to consider." Zuo Yueyao guided him, "It's not too late to think about these issues after graduation."
"Four years is too long. I want to share some of the burden." Su Xian remained unmoved.
"You can apply for grants and scholarships, but don't work-study. Read more books when you have time."
"I will read the book." Su Xian found that Zuo Yueyao was like a worried brother: "Anyway, there is still a lot of time, and I can learn something by working and studying."
Zuo Yueyao no longer insisted, because he knew that insisting was futile and Su Xian would never change his decision.
She didn't come to discuss things with him at all, she just made up her mind and came to seek his help.
"There's something I need to remind you of."
"What?"
"When applying for a scholarship, you need multiple signatures, and there will even be a public notice, so everyone will know about it."
"It doesn't matter."
For Su Xian, being able to live well and graduate successfully is enough. Nothing else matters. What’s the point of having a face when you can’t even get enough food to eat
"Let's go. I'll take you back to the dormitory." Zuo Yueyao pointed to the bag on the table and said, "Take the things and remember to return them to the owner."
Su Xian had no choice but to pick up the hot potato again, and secretly swore in his heart that he would never do such a thing that would dig a hole for himself in the future.
"No need to send me off, I can go back by myself, you can continue reading."
"No, I'm just looking for some information. It won't be too late to look at it tomorrow."
Look, the saddest thing in this world is not that there are people who are better than you, but that those who are better than you work harder than you.
Su Xian felt that this trip was really embarrassing, and this kind of matchmaking was a bit unkind.
"What's wrong with your foot?" Careful people are indeed very sharp-eyed.
"It's okay." Su Xian was not a hypocritical person. "It's just a small blister. I can just prick it with a needle when I get home."
"Do you have disinfectant alcohol?"
Um, I’m so used to living in the countryside that I forgot about disinfection: “No.”
"Let's go to the infirmary."
Su Xian thought this plan was feasible. Seeing him stretch out his hand, he said, "I can go by myself." It would not be good for a man and a woman to be seen alone in the middle of the night.
Su Xian didn't care, but he was worried that Zuo Yueyao would be criticized.
"It's only natural for a cousin to help his cousin."
"Ah!" Su Xian snorted, "You took it seriously."
"Um."
"Okay, cousin, you go ahead and I'll follow."
But in the end, Su Xian walked in front, and Zuo Yueyao followed behind, just like two years ago, he always followed behind her, following her closely, and even if he was slow, he was very calm.
When they arrived at the infirmary, the school doctor took one look at Su Xian and said, "It's you. Why are you here again?"
The word "again" was really well used. Su Xian squinted her eyes and smiled: "I walked a little too much today and got a small blister. Auntie, please help me deal with it."
"You're much more lively than last time, and your mouth is quite sweet." Pointing to the chair next to you: "Come on, sit down, and take off your socks."
Su Xian pulled off his socks, inserted a very thin needle into the blister, and carefully squeezed out the liquid inside. The school doctor looked up and said, "It's inflamed. We need to disinfect it and apply anti-inflammatory ointment. It will be a little painful."
After several experiences in life, it has been proven that when doctors say it doesn't hurt at all, it usually means it still hurts a little, but if they say it hurts a little, it means it hurts a lot. Su Xian gritted his teeth and closed his eyes: "It's okay."
"The little girl is quite brave."
Zuo Yueyao suddenly grabbed Su Xian's hand and said, "Hold me."
Su Xian wanted to say, what, holding you can relieve pain. But it was the first time that someone of the opposite sex held her hand like this, and Su Xian felt something was strange. Admittedly, his hands were very soft and felt good when holding them, but that didn't mean she could accept it.
This man and woman are not close to each other.
"Your boyfriend is very nice to you. Last time you had a heat stroke, he sent you a big bag of food."
"cousin."
Zuo Yueyao's voice struck the top of her head. Su Xian looked up and could only see his chin. The curve was quite sexy. She grinned and said, "Brother."
"Um."
One dares to call, the other dares to answer, so shameless.
"You two are relatives. Oh my god, this is the first time I've seen relatives admitted to our Nanjing University together. Haha, I was wrong."
Su Xian didn't know why the school doctor laughed so heartily. There was no funny point at all. But she was laughing so happily that she didn't want to disturb her. She gritted her teeth and endured the torture from the disinfectant alcohol, and by the way, she squeezed Zuo Yueyao's hand.
It wasn't that she wanted to pinch it, it was because of the pain.
After the treatment, the sole of the foot was wrapped with gauze and tied into a bow, the technique was very delicate. Su Xian shook the injured foot and said, "I can't even wear shoes. How can I do military training tomorrow?"
"Ask for leave."
"No, no, I can't take leave. I won't get the credits." Su Xian was completely focused on credits.
"You can ask for leave under special circumstances, and it will not affect your credits if approved." Zuo Yueyao explained patiently.
"real?"
"real."
Su Xian thought for a moment and said, "I'll think about it."
Zuo Yueyao didn't say anything else. He just shook the finger that was almost deformed by Su Xian, and the blood color gradually returned to normal.
He underestimated her strength.
When Su Xian limped back to the dormitory, Lu Xiran was eagerly waiting for her to come back, and was enjoying the bag of snacks that Zuo Yueyao had given her.
Su Xian was not very interested in snacks, so she simply gave all the snacks to Lu Xiran, which made Lu Xiran so happy that he hugged her and kissed her several times.
This is probably the realm of a foodie, eating can solve all problems.
"I told you, Senior Brother Zuo definitely wouldn't want this kind of thing." Lu Xiran's hindsight made Su Xian roll his eyes.
"What happened to your foot?"
"It's okay, I just picked a blister."
"Oh, are you going to the military training tomorrow?"
"Go." Avoiding the wound, Su Xian slowly climbed onto the bed: "It's nothing."
As soon as he lay down, he began to think about what he should say to Chen Biyu when he met her tomorrow so that the matter could be resolved peacefully. As he was thinking, he suddenly remembered what Zuo Yueyao said when he sent her back to the dormitory.
Su Xian limped up the stairs. Not only did her walking posture look ugly, but it was also quite strenuous. When she turned around, she saw Zuo Yueyao standing behind her and watching her. An idea popped into her mind: Brother, please give me a hand.
But then I think about it, you just now were offered help by someone and you refused, so why are you being so pretentious now
Thinking this way, I feel balanced.
When she was about to go in, Zuo Yueyao called her. Su Xian turned around again and he suddenly appeared behind her.
To be honest, any woman would drool over Zuo Yueyao's figure.
But Su Xian didn't cry, because others said she was not a woman.
The beautiful lips drew a few arcs, "I remember that you still owe me a basket of dates."
Su Xian was not a person who would refuse to pay his debts, so he nodded and said, "I'll remember that. How about I ask my family to send some over?"
"No need." Zuo Yueyao turned and walked away: "Next time."
