After Xue Xi's birthday, the first snowfall fell in this city, the whole city was covered in white, and the weather became colder and colder.
Zhou Yizhi accompanied his elder brother to visit his grandma again, and brought some warming supplies along the way. This time the old man did not fall asleep, but his mind was still not clear enough, and he could hardly recognize Xue Xilai, let alone Zhou Yizhi. , but when Xue Xi got up to tuck her in, she still couldn't help showing a kind smile.
When Zhou Yizhi was reborn, he basically forgot all his high school knowledge. Three months is not enough time for her to review all the high school courses. Until two days before the mid-term exam, she did some mock questions in private, and she still only had a 90% correct rate. This result can be ranked in the top 80 in the whole grade, which is already considered a good result for ordinary people.
But for Zhou Yizhi, who is either first or second in his grade every time, this result has slipped too far.
When the time comes, Zhou Du, who doesn't care about her at all, will wonder whether she has been pierced by someone's soul.
I'm afraid there will be some people in the school talking about it.
Therefore, before the midterm exam, Zhou Yizhi was a little anxious.
If she is given a few more months, she can basically review back to the level of the year, but there is definitely not enough time now.
Zhou Yizhi only thought of one solution: pretending to be sick.
I thought it would be very difficult to pretend to be sick, and it would be easy to reveal her secrets. After all, she can't be cruel to herself, and she can't take a cold shower in winter. Unexpectedly, the temperature suddenly dropped two days before the midterm exam, and Zhou Yizhi, who went out for a morning jog in the early morning, was unfortunately caught, and actually actually caught the flu.
Zhou Yizhi finally got her wish, walked three steps and sneezed, dizzy, curled up under the blanket sickly, and asked her brother to help her ask for leave.
Xue Xi was standing by the bed with a thermometer in hand. Seeing that he had a fever of more than 38 degrees, he asked the housekeeper to call his personal doctor.
He regretted that when Zhou Yizhi ran in the morning two days ago, he didn't forcefully wrap a scarf around her regardless of her consent.
After watching Zhou Yizhi drink the medicine, lie down and continue to sleep, Xue Xi touched her forehead and felt that the fever had started to subside, so he pulled up a chair and sat down beside her to read a book.
Zhou Yizhi was lying on the bed with his chin resting on his elbows, his face was a little sickly red, and he turned his head to look at him: "Aren't you going to school?"
Xue Xi poured her a glass of water: "Go before the exam."
"Go, Uncle He and Aunt He are here, I'm fine." Zhou Yizhi drove him away.
Xue Xi hesitated, but Zhou Yizhi couldn't fall asleep as he was sitting here.
It's okay to turn off the lights, it's pitch black, and my brother can't see the drooling, but it's broad daylight, and even though the curtains are drawn tightly, the room is still bright. She yawned, continued to urge, and drove Xue Xi out: "Let's go, I'm going to sleep."
Only then did Xue Xi put down the book, tucked the quilt up for her, and rubbed her head with his hands: "Good boy, have a good sleep."
"En." Zhou Yizhi hugged his hand, brushed his hair away from his face, and then let go of his hand.
Xue Xi asked Zhou Yizhi for leave, and Zhou Yizhi failed to take the midterm exam.
Zhou Du had just got off the plane and heard about Zhou Yizhi's failure to take the midterm exam due to the flu, but he didn't take it seriously. He thought that as long as Zhou Yizhi participated, he would either be first or second. It doesn't matter.
After the midterm exam, Zhou Yizhi lay at home for more than a week.
There are physical differences between boys and girls. Xue Xi also had the flu, but he was in good health and tenacious, and he almost recovered in just one night, and there were no signs of illness on the second day.
But Zhou Yizhi's illness came and went like a mountain, lying on the bed and instructing Xue Xi to carry her downstairs with a thick blanket to watch TV, looking like a sickly beauty.
She pestered Xue Xi arrogantly for a whole week, and the housekeeper couldn't see her.
Xue Xi just laughed, and when he was helping the housekeeper with work in the yard, he said to the housekeeper: "It's good to remember that."
When Zhou Yizhi went to school again, she found that the teachers in the class were more kind to her brother, and when she asked him to take a few boys out to help carry things, the smiles on their faces could bloom like flowers.
Only then did Zhou Yizhi learn from Yuan Mei that in the last mid-term exam, Xue Xi scored first in his grade, and the teachers of all subjects were all smiles.
Yuan Mei and the others were surprised, but Zhou Yizhi was proud of it, but not too surprised. After all, it was like this in the previous life.
What Zhou Yizhi is most worried about now is herself.
If you skipped the midterm exam, you can't escape the final exam.
In any case, before the final exam, the grades had to be pulled back to the top three in the grade.
After Zhou Yizhi made a selection, he enrolled in a cram school.
During the meal, the housekeeper and Aunt He were surprised to hear that she had signed up for a cram school. In the past, except for piano lessons and dance lessons, Zhou Yizhi never needed to go to cram schools for her studies.
Zhou Yizhi easily put it off, telling them that the pressure of high school studies was gradually increasing, and he had missed a lot of classes because of the flu, so he had to hurry up to catch up.
The housekeeper and Aunt He were easily dismissed. Xue Xi sat across from her, handed her a tissue, paused, and asked, "Is there enough rest time for a cram school for two hours after school?"
"It's just that the time for piano practice will be compressed in the future." Zhou Yizhi said: "But it's not a big problem, I will be able to handle it with ease."
"If you need it." Xue Xi couldn't help but said, "You can find me."
Zhou Yizhi looked at him with his chin in his hands, his expression moved.
Facing Zhou Yizhi's gaze, Xue Xi clenched his knife and fork tightly, and added calmly: "Of course, cram school teachers do have more experience."
Zhou Yizhi calculated in her mind that after school at six o'clock every day, it took half an hour to go back and forth on the road. If she had to go to tutoring, then she would not be able to have dinner with her brother at home in the future. The same goes for weekends. The time when only two people stay at home two days a week has also been drastically reduced.
However, if she went to ask her brother for advice, wouldn't it be embarrassing to ask him about something she didn't understand
Zhou Yizhi wanted face the most, and decided to hand over this embarrassing aspect to the cram school teacher.
She still made up her mind and said vigorously, "I'll still go to the cram school!"
Xue Xi put the fried eggs on her plate, glanced at her, and said with a smile, "Well, come on."
Zhou Yizhi has been going to cram school for a week.
The cram school she signed up for is the best cram school in the city. It is divided into three classes: A/B/C according to grades. Of course Zhou Yizhi is in Class A, and most of the rest of Class A are top students from other schools.
In her previous life, she had an arrogant attitude. Even though many people in the school liked her, they were still discouraged. Not everyone has the good attitude of Cong You.
In this life, her personality is obviously much more easy-going. Although he is still not used to talking more with people he is not familiar with, and appears a little cold, but it is no longer the kind of frosty face that rejects people thousands of miles away.
Therefore, she is very popular in the cram school.
There are countless people who strike up a conversation after class.
Zhou Yizhi didn't pay much attention to it, and she didn't attend the dinner party provoked by the monitor of the cram school, but with the mentality of earnestly making a few friends in this life, she also memorized the names of a few people in the cram school.
Before the cram school ends, the tutor makes a list of books for the students to prepare before next week.
Zhou Yizhi rejected a handsome boy's proposal to buy books together, walked out of the cram school, called Yuan Mei who was also in another class B cram school, and asked her to go shopping with him.
Zhou's driver has been waiting downstairs.
He took Zhou Yizhi and Yuan Mei to have a meal, and then sent them to a bookstore near the school.
Zhou Yizhi and Yuan Mei bought some snacks, took a few beautiful paper bags, and walked casually all the way to the bookstore.
Yuan Mei said to her: "I always find it incredible."
Zhou Yizhi threw the finished snacks into the trash can on the side of the road, took out a tissue and wiped his hands, then asked her, "What's the matter?"
Yuan Mei looked her up and down.
The girl wore a long white down jacket, tied her head with balls, and wore a plaid scarf of the same color as her headband. Even though she was wearing a simple and generous dress, she still showed a sense of restraint and elegance. In the past, she absolutely disdained to come to the roadside stall with them.
After hearing her question, Zhou Yizhi smiled and said, "People will always change."
Yuan Mei couldn't think of a reason, but he just pretended that he didn't know Zhou Yizhi before.
The two walked to the door of the bookstore. When the boss saw them, his eyes lit up, and he said to Zhou Yizhi, "What books do you two younger sisters want to buy?"
Yuan Mei looked up at the bookstore, but suddenly remembered something, and said to Zhou Yizhi: "I saw your brother sitting in this bookstore for several hours after school that day, as if he was waiting for someone, looking across from time to time— Has he got a girlfriend yet?"
The distant elder brother Zhou Yizhi transferred from is very handsome. Even though he didn't do anything eye-catching, there are still many girls in the school who pay attention to him unconsciously. Yuan Mei was no exception. Seeing him waiting in the bookstore after school, he couldn't help but take a few extra glances.
Zhou Yizhi's hand, which was picking out the materials, stopped suddenly. She didn't hear clearly, and only heard the words "brother" and "girlfriend", and she started a fire angrily. What's the situation, brother has been waiting for someone else here? ! He never said that to himself! She resisted the impulse and asked, "What did you say? What day?"
Zhou Yizhi reacted greatly, but Yuan Mei thought she had the same gossip mentality as herself, so she didn't think too much about it.
So Yuan Mei thought for a while, and said, "It was probably a day more than a month ago."
Zhou Yizhi gritted his teeth: "Remember carefully."
"Hey, don't worry." Yuan Mei thought for a long time before saying, "I remembered, it was the fifth day after Cong You's birthday, and it was raining lightly that day!"
"I thought he went to see grandma, why didn't he tell me, are you sure he's waiting for someone—" Zhou Yizhi said angrily, but in the middle of speaking, her rusty brain slowly turned around.
and many more.
Zhou Yizhi opened his eyes slightly, and suddenly remembered that it was that day.
Wasn't that the day she dumped Congyou at the Sichuan restaurant
She suddenly thought of something, walked quickly to the door of the bookstore, looked up and looked across the street.
When I looked up, I suddenly saw the signboard of the Sichuan Restaurant.
Zhou Yizhi: ...
Zhou Yizhi suddenly had an uncertain guess that made her jump with joy, her heart beat wildly, and her face turned red—
She suspected that he was waiting for her that day.
What is he waiting for her for
She told him that he was obviously indifferent when she went to see Cong You
By the way, his hair was still slightly wet when he came home that day.
He's not jealous, what is he doing here staring at the Sichuan restaurant opposite
Could it be that at this time, my brother has already started to like her
