Zhou Yizhi went to the cram school after school and asked the driver to take her there, so she didn't go home with Xue Xi for a while.
When she came home at around nine o'clock in the evening, she would usually have dinner with Yuan Mei and then come back, so Aunt He was asked not to prepare her dinner.
The cram school is very formal, only the top students and competitive talents in the city can enter the cram school, and there is a driver Li to pick them up and drop them off, so there is nothing to worry about safety.
But in the past few days, after Zhou Yizhi came back from the cram school, he seemed to be in a good mood.
When the butler helped her take off her schoolbag, she was still humming.
The housekeeper was a little surprised, and asked, "Miss, did you meet any new friends in the cram school?"
Holding the shoe cabinet, Zhou Yizhi gently kicked the snow boots aside, put on cotton slippers, and looked up at his brother. Xue Xi was sitting on the sofa reading a book, holding a pen with his slender fingers, drawing lines from time to time, with a handsome profile, concentrating on it.
Zhou Yizhi smiled and said, "Well, the people in the cram school are quite interesting."
My brother is still reading.
Zhou Yizhi looked at the back of his head, raised his voice, and said again: "By the way, Uncle He, I may come back late tomorrow night, and I have an appointment with my friends to eat hot pot."
"Hmm." The butler nodded, somewhat relieved: "Okay, I remember, I'll talk to Driver Li about it."
"But miss, is your new friend a boy or a girl? Be safe."
Zhou Yizhi said casually: "Of course there are."
The book in my brother's hand finally turned a page.
The next day, before the cram school was about to end, Zhou Yizhi rested his chin on his hand and unconsciously tapped the tip of the pen on the table with his other hand, thinking about who he could find for this hot pot meal.
It's too deliberate to just find a boy to eat hot pot alone. It's better to have a few classmates, both male and female.
Her eyes flicked over the short boys wearing glasses in the front row, and she was about to send a message to ask Yuan Mei if she had an appointment tonight, when suddenly, a ball of paper was thrown from behind diagonally.
Zhou Yizhi gently squeezed the ball of paper thrown on the table in his hands, unfolded it, and asked her if she had anything to do after the tutoring period, and a few people in Class A planned to have a dinner together.
Zhou Yizhi glanced diagonally backwards.
It was the boy who invited me to buy books a few days ago.
He smiled at her.
It was only at this time that Zhou Yizhi saw his appearance clearly.
The down jacket hangs on the back of the chair, and she wears an off-white sweater vest, which has outstanding facial features. However, it is different from his brother's handsome and cold, and also different from Cong You's sports department. He has a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he has a very cute and delicate appearance, which can easily make people feel friendly.
Zhou Yizhi immediately cheered up.
Here comes the hot pot.
Zhou Yizhi gave him an OK comparison.
After class A's tutoring ended, the classroom suddenly became lively. A group of people packed their schoolbags and put on their coats.
Zhou Yizhi put on his down jacket, and saw several people waiting in the corridor, chatting and laughing. Among them was a fat man who was good at enlivening the atmosphere, and made the other two girls laugh out loud. Besides these three, there were two Tall boys, one wearing glasses is more refined, and the other is leaning lazily against the wall.
"Let's go, everyone has been attending tutoring for almost half a month, no matter what, we have to get to know each other. We already knew each other last time, and you are the only one missing."
"Just me?" Zhou Yizhi pointed to the other people in the classroom suspiciously: "Aren't there still many people?"
Why was she suddenly drawn into this small group
The handsome boy was holding his schoolbag, feeling a little embarrassed suddenly, and patted his head.
The fat man outside joked: "Because you are beautiful, Lin Jiayu has tried to get to know you for a long time."
Lin Jiayu was the boy behind who threw the note to her.
Lin Jiayu became a little annoyed, walked over quickly, and stabbed the fat man with his elbow. Then he raised his eyes to look at Zhou Yizhi.
Several people in the corridor laughed one after another, and the smile in the eyes of one of the girls was unclear, and she kept staring at her.
Zhou Yi understood it at a glance.
But it's nothing to eat.
She lowered her head and sent a message to Yuan Mei, then walked over with her schoolbag, and asked absently, "Where shall we eat?"
The point is not where to eat, but to take a photo and post it on Moments to see my brother's reaction. Zhou Yizhi's thoughts were all on this, and his heart was racing, so he didn't care about the next few people's jokes.
There was no heating in the corridor, and Zhou Yizhi shrank his neck when a draft blew, suddenly feeling very cold.
She touched her neck, and then remembered that her scarf seemed to have been left behind at school, and she didn't wear it when she came to cram school.
He looked up and looked out the window.
It was fine during the day today, but now it is raining. The weather is gloomy. I hate rain in winter. The already cold weather will become more humid and cold.
What kind of hot pot are you eating... Why don't you go back early and watch a movie with your brother.
Zhou Yizhi suddenly lost interest.
"Zhou Yizhi, where's your scarf?" Lin Jiayu, who was walking beside her, asked, "Did you not wear it?"
"Well, I forgot today." Zhou Yizhi pulled up the zipper of the down jacket a little bit, put on the hat with a ring of hair on it, she thought for a while, then loosened the hair that was tied into a ball head, and shrunk her neck. Keep out the wind.
"Let's have a cup of milk tea first, it's hot." Lin Jiayu had already scanned the QR code and bought a cup of brown sugar hot drink from a milk tea shop outside the cram school.
He handed it to Zhou Yizhi.
The fat man took the lead in booing: "Lin Jiayu, you can do it."
Several people laughed together.
Zhou Yizhi looked at the hot milk tea, hesitated for a while, but didn't reach out to take it. Lin Jiayu's intention of chasing someone is too obvious. In the past, when she dealt with this kind of thing, she usually replied coldly, "Get out", and the effect was obvious. Almost no one in the school dared to chase her. But thinking about it now, she treated those people the same way she treated her elder brother in her previous life. It was very hurtful and trampled on other people's self-esteem. No one's self-esteem should be trampled by her.
What's more, some people are different from Cong You, they don't bet on themselves, but approach themselves with pure enthusiasm.
Lin Jiayu took the milk tea and continued to pass it to her. Seeing that she didn't pick it up, he couldn't hold back. He touched his head involuntarily, and said in a low voice, "Do you not like this taste? Zhou Yizhi, what flavor do you like to drink?"
Zhou Yizhi thought for a while, and said, "You can scan the QR code for Alipay and give it to me."
Lin Jiayu didn't react.
Still, he took out his phone.
Soon there was the sound of transferring money, Ding Dong fifteen yuan arrived.
Lin Jiayu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "It's only fifteen yuan, I'll pay you."
"Thank you." Zhou Yizhi just took the milk tea and held it in his palm, it was really very warm.
But in the end, Lin Jiayu was given a step down. Lin Jiayu's face looked a lot better, and he smiled. Several people walked towards the subway entrance. He walked beside Zhou Yizhi. Seeing Zhou Yizhi shrinking his neck in fear, he took off the The scarf around his neck was handed to Zhou Yizhi nervously, and said, "Why don't you wear mine."
The fat man was laughing like crazy, and several other people also patted Lin Jiayu on the shoulder: "Brother, you are too ruthless, you were obviously refusing just now."
Zhou Yizhi looked at the scarf in his hand, feeling a little helpless.
She was about to say something when she suddenly saw a tall man walking towards the convenience store, holding an umbrella and holding an umbrella in his hand. Before he approached, he looked at this side, and his footsteps seemed to have paused. The heavy rain hit the umbrella he was supporting and hit the ground, and his shoes picked up a little muddy water.
Soon, he has come here.
The two girls who were staring at Lin Jiayu just now quickly shifted their eyes to him.
In his hand was Zhou Yizhi's scarf left at school.
"You left behind at school." Xue Xi said.
Zhou Yi was stunned, her heart was beating fast, and she suddenly felt like she was caught on the spot—she just planned to eat hot pot and post it on Moments to see her brother's reaction, no one told her that his brother would come to give her an umbrella and a scarf what.
Zhou Yizhi's brain was spinning fast: "Hey, brother, you haven't eaten dinner yet, let's go eat hot pot together."
The fat man and the two girls hurriedly said, "Yes, let's eat together, we are friends after we know each other!"
She thought her brother would not agree.
But Xue Xi pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "Okay."
He didn't know whether it was on purpose or not, he glanced at Lin Jiayu who was beside Zhou Yizhi.
Zhou Yizhi:!
Wait, brother, this look!
