After the high school entrance examination, Hao Lu told Shao Xian and the three that she did not want to stay at home during the holidays, so she usually went to study in the park next to No. 9 Middle School during the day.
There is a small pavilion in the park with stone tables and stone benches. The hardware conditions are complete, and the park environment is quiet, which is a good place to study.
The three of Shao Xian came to the park and found the small pavilion, but found that Hao Lu was not there.
"Didn't she say she would come here to read every day?" Qian Wenjie frowned dejectedly.
The three searched the park and couldn't find Hao Lu, so they decided to go back first and come back tomorrow.
Fortunately, they ran into Hao Lu as soon as they reached the park entrance.
"Where have you been? Why is it so hot?" Qian Wenjie showed concern on his face.
Hao Lu's delicate face was reddened by the heat, and there were many fine beads of sweat oozing from the edges of her hair. The schoolbag on her back looked a little heavy, and she was afraid that the clothes on her back were soaked through.
She herself is not easy to sweat, and now she looks like this, you can imagine how hot she was just now.
"It's okay, it's just crowded on the bus," she responded casually and asked, "You came to me to ask about the results of the high school entrance examination? I'm sorry, I haven't checked it yet."
The excuse for taking the bus was too clumsy, Qian Wenjie opened his mouth, but did not refute it.
He took out his mobile phone from his pocket and handed it to Hao Lu, "Do you remember your own admission ticket number? Make a call to check."
Since seeing that Shao Xian and Chen Baizhou both have mobile phones, Qian Wenjie also begged his mother to buy them for him, but Wang Shufen refused until after the high school entrance examination and bought him a similar style.
The phone is very new, and the casing is still glowing with a metallic sheen.
Hao Lu didn't reject his kindness, and took it generously after thanking him.
After the call was made, Qian Wenjie approached nervously, looking more concerned than Hao Lu.
Shao Xian and Chen Baizhou stood aside, not worried about Hao Lu's score at all.
With Hao Lu's temperament and grades, it is impossible to pass the exam badly.
Sure enough, after a while, Hao Lu hung up and handed back the phone to Qian Wenjie. Under his uneasy little eyes, he smiled and said, "The grades are alright, so there is no problem with advancing to a high school."
Qian Wenjie suddenly felt relieved, happy like a fool, "That's great!"
Infected by his emotions, Hao Lu couldn't help showing a sincere smile.
Being admitted to a high school is indeed a happy thing for her.
After checking the results, it stands to reason that Shao Xian and the others should be able to leave. After all, the purpose of their trip was to let Hao Lu check the results.
However, the three did not leave immediately.
Hao Lu couldn't help asking: "Is there anything else?"
Shao Xian and Chen Baizhou looked at each other, and then said in a natural tone, "We saw a very interesting topic before, and I want to discuss it with you."
Qian Wenjie: "..." Hey, do they still have this purpose
"What topic?" Hao Lu asked calmly.
Shao Xian smiled, "The topic is a bit complicated. You should have pen and paper in your schoolbag, right? Borrow it."
In this weather, there is usually air-conditioning in the bus, and the time is not the rush hour, so it will not be very crowded. It is impossible for her to be so hot because of the bus.
Hao Lu was silent for a while, then said helplessly, "Well, I can't hide it from you."
She didn't know that Shao Xian and the others would come to the park to find her, so she didn't pay attention to her image, but she didn't expect to be noticed by them.
"I just handed out flyers nearby."
As Hao Lu spoke, she opened her schoolbag and saw that it was full of flyers, no wonder it looked heavy.
"You're standing under the sun and handing out flyers on such a hot day?" Qian Wenjie's eyes widened, anxious and angry, "You—"
He wanted to ask if you were short of money, but he didn't ask.
"All these will be sent out today?" He paused and asked with a frown.
Hao Lu nodded.
It stands to reason that the person who assigned the task asked a little girl to do this, which was already considered child labor, and Shao Xian and the others had reason to condemn it.
However, these flyers may be Hao Lu's efforts.
Because of a moment of anger, Hao Lu's previous sufferings were all in vain, and Shao Xian and the others really couldn't do it.
Moreover, if they really went to scold that person for being black-hearted, they would also hurt Hao Lu indirectly.
"Let's send it together," Shao Xian took out a stack of flyers from her schoolbag. "Four people will send it faster, and we will discuss the topic together after sending it."
Of course Chen Baizhou followed Shao Xian.
Hao Lu froze in place, looking at them in a trance.
"I'll take a little more," Qian Wenjie took out a copy from his schoolbag, then took out a stack from Hao Lu's hand, and whispered, "You're a girl, what should you do if you get tan?"
The sun in late June was extremely hot, making people feel hot.
This enthusiasm penetrated into Hao Lu's heart instantly, and she couldn't help laughing, looking at the three people's eyes becoming more gentle and sincere.
Saying thank you at this time feels too pale.
There is a pedestrian street not far from the park, and the flow of people is not bad, so the four decided to go there.
Qian Wenjie carried Hao Lu's schoolbag and the thick leaflets, which he sent out one by one under the scorching sun.
Shao Xian and Chen Baizhou did not give in too much.
They had a lot of hardships when they learned martial arts, and sending out a flyer was nothing to them.
The more the merrier.
The four worked together, and the flyers were quickly distributed.
"Let's go, get your salary!" Qian Wenjie wiped the sweat from his face and said happily.
Hao Lu nodded, but said, "Wait a minute."
After she finished speaking, she went to the nearby store to buy three bottles of ice drinks and handed them to Shao Xian and the others.
The three did not refuse, but Qian Wenjie asked, "Why did you only buy three bottles? Aren't you thirsty?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shao Xian handed the drink in his hand to Hao Lu, "One bottle for Baizhou and I is enough."
He understood that Hao Lu wanted to save some money.
But the little girl's lips were dry, and he couldn't bear it.
It was boring to push around, Qian Wenjie was rude, he took the drink directly from Shao Xian and stuffed it into Hao Lu's hand.
"Baizhou's stomach is not very good, he can't drink too much ice, and Xianxian can't drink that much. It's normal for them to drink a bottle together."
This is indeed the case.
Hao Lu smiled and took it.
Sometimes she also feels that in fact, God still loves her very much, and she can meet people like them.
"Do you still want to discuss the topic?"
The little girl with a bright smile tilted her head and asked, in this way, she finally has a little bit of cuteness that belongs to a little girl.
Shao Xian took out a folded piece of white paper from his pocket and said casually, "The topic is on this, you can go back and see for yourself."
His movements were so natural that Hao Lu and Qian Wenjie didn't think much of it.
Chen Baizhou's eyes dimmed for a moment.
He has been with Shao Xian all the time, and he knows what Shao Xian does except sleeping or solving physical problems.
But this piece of paper, and the title on it, he didn't know at all.
Hao Lu took the paper and put it into the schoolbag solemnly.
After the four of them went to collect the payment together, Shao Xian and the three separated from Hao Lu.
On the way back, Qian Wenjie kept frowning, and Shao Xian asked, "Because of Hao Lu?"
"Um."
Qian Wenjie has never been short of food or drink since he can remember, and he doesn't really understand the hardships of life.
But today he personally distributed flyers under the scorching sun, and he suddenly felt that he was so happy.
"Xianxian, Baizhou, why don't we help Hao Lu!"
He suddenly became excited, "She distributed the flyers just for tuition fees. The tuition fees for three years in high school should not be expensive. I have lucky money every year, so I can lend it to her first."
A little girl, how bad it is to hand out flyers every day!
Shao Xian knew that he had a good heart, but he was afraid that the little girl would not accept it.
"She won't want it." Chen Baizhou said.
If he hadn't made up his mind to follow Shao Xian for the rest of his life, he would not have accepted the financial support from the Shao family with peace of mind.
But Hao Lu didn't decide to work for Qian Wenjie, she would rather be self-reliant, maybe even if Shao Xian offered her money to go to school, she wouldn't agree immediately.
"Why?" Qian Wenjie was surprised, "I lent it to her, not to her. She's so smart, she got into a good university, can she still not get into it in the future?"
Shao Xian asked with a smile: "Didn't you say before that you should keep the lucky money for after high school graduation? If you lend her, what will you do in the future?"
Qian Wenjie suddenly fell silent.
"Let's go back and think of a way to get the best of both worlds." Shao Xian patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.
After returning home, Shao Xian finished taking a shower, lying on the bed holding his mobile phone, and was editing a text message to Qian Wenjie.
Just half-pressed, the door was suddenly knocked.
"I brought the fruit up," Chen Baizhou's voice was slightly hazy across the door, "Can I go in?"
Shao Xian quickly shoved his phone under the pillow, jumped up from the bed, and said, "Come in."
Chen Baizhou held the fruit plate and opened the door.
Just after taking a bath, Shao Xian still had the scent of shower gel on his body.
The two sat side by side at the table and peeled lychees to eat. When they were about to eat, Shao Xian suddenly said, "I have something to do tomorrow, so it doesn't matter if you are at home?"
Chen Baizhou paused slightly, lowered his eyes and said, "It doesn't matter, where are you going?"
"It's just something," Shao Xian couldn't make up any good excuses for a while, "I'll be back soon."
Chen Baizhou looked at him, his long and thick eyelashes cast shadows under his eyes, covering the tear mole.
This look made Shao Xian think of Fu Baizhou in his previous life in a trance.
His heart froze, and he was about to speak when he saw Chen Baizhou curl his lips into a small smile.
"Tomorrow the sun will be big, remember to wear sunscreen when you go out."
Shao Xian couldn't help but nodded, "Okay."
After eating the fruit absent-mindedly, Chen Baizhou planned to leave with the empty fruit plate left.
But when he was leaving, Yu Guang accidentally caught the phone under the pillow.
Only one corner of the phone is exposed, white, and it stands out under the dark blue pillowcase.
Shao Xian never had this habit.
When he entered the room, he subconsciously tucked his phone under the pillow, it must be because he was hiding something from himself.
Closing the door gently, Chen Baizhou leaned against the wall next to him holding the fruit plate.
The hand holding the fruit plate trembled slightly.
Shao Xian was hiding something from him.
This guess was like a sharp sword. It stabbed him heavily, and it hurt a little, but it wasn't unbearable.
He was used to following Shao Xian, and was used to knowing everything about Shao Xian.
Now Shao Xian is obviously avoiding him, and the best thing he should do is to pretend he doesn't know anything.
Whether as an assistant or as a friend, he has no position to ask.
In the room, Shao Xian took out his mobile phone and continued to edit the unfinished text messages.
As soon as the text message was sent, Qian Wenjie called.
"Xianxian, what are you going to send to Baizhou?"
Shao Xian texted him just now, asking him to meet at Century Plaza tomorrow, and telling him not to let Chen Baizhou know, saying that he planned to surprise him on Chen Baizhou's birthday.
July 6th is Chen Baizhou's birthday, exactly one month later than Shao Xian.
Shao Xian's eyes curled, "You'll know when the time comes."
