Shen Lin's temperament is not as domineering as his mother's, with a white face and a pair of frame glasses, he looks more gentle. Seeing Xiang Nuan and Xiang Changkong standing in the corridor, he seemed to want to come up and say something, before Xiang Nuan waited for him to speak, he pulled Xiang Zhangkong downstairs.
After walking out of the school, Xiang Changkong glanced at Xiang Nuan who was following him, and asked her, "Is that Shen Lin just now?"
"Well." Xiang Nuan responded, looked at him and asked, "Mr. Cai and Shen Lin's mother, what did you say?"
"Say you and Shen Lin fell in love early."
"..." Xiang Nuan really hates those classmates who like to talk to each other. There are indeed a few couples in their class. Usually, as long as the two of them stand together, they like to make a fool of themselves. This time, even she and Shen Lin were not spared. Shen Lin's mother had always attached great importance to his situation at school, and this time he had dropped by two in the weekly exam. For his mother, the sky was falling.
Then she hit the gun.
"I really didn't fall in love with him, he was just helping me with the questions." Xiang Nuan explained to Xiang Changkong, "After the last mock exam, he said he would help me with the questions for a month. It seems that he taught well. You still teach well."
After she explained this, Xiang Changkong didn't understand even more: "I only saw him for the first time today." The implication was, why did he suddenly think of teaching Xiang Nuan to him
Xiang Nuan pouted and said, "After the mock exam, I mentioned to him that you are teaching me to study in private. This is probably due to the instinctive hostility of Xueba to Xueba."
Xiang Changkong: "..."
"But don't worry, I won't let her teach me again in the future." She made progress in the exam this time. She didn't dare to say whether it was due to Shen Lin, but it was true that she delayed Shen Lin's study time. Although he wasn't in a puppy love with him, his ranking drop this time might be because of her.
Xiang Zhangkong looked at her for a while and asked, "Why?"
Xiang Nuan said, "If he drops two more in the next exam, her mother will probably tear me up. I can't afford to offend me."
Xiang Changkong smiled, with a rare joking tone: "Do you really have a crush on Shen Lin?"
"No!" Xiang Nuan almost jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, "I just want to study hard now, and I don't want to fall in love!"
Xiang Changkong looked at her, gradually restrained the smile on his lips, and asked seriously, "Xiang Nuan, am I putting too much pressure on you?"
Xiang Nuan was stunned, as if he didn't expect him to ask such a question.
"You told me that you didn't want to go to college after the last mock test." At that time, he should have noticed that normally, whose child would give up college because he only got two exams
Xiang Nuan kicked the pebble on the road habitually, and replied in a dull voice: "I'm afraid you will be disappointed, you are obviously smarter than me, but you left me the opportunity to study. If you can't pass the exam, isn't it worth your sacrifice?"
Xiang Changkong never thought to put so much pressure on Xiang Nuan, even if she could only read two books, he would send her to study. He just wanted her to receive an education that most people would receive, not worth mentioning, let alone sacrifice.
"You think too much." He raised his hand and rubbed his head towards Nuan.
Xiang Nuan raised his head and asked him, "Do you know what wish I made on my birthday?"
"Didn't you say you can't say it?"
Xiang Nuan smiled and said, "It's been realized now. I hope my brother can do what he likes. You can continue your studies again. I'm very happy."
Originally, Weng Shuli's sudden disappearance made her very worried. She was afraid that Xiang Changkong's plan to postgraduate entrance examination would be interrupted because of this incident.
Xiang Changkong said, "Mom cooks by herself today, you will have a good time."
Xiang Nuan laughed twice and said to him in a low voice, "Secretly tell you, I think your cooking is better than my mother's!"
Xiang Changkong said, "Oh, I'm going to go back and tell my mother that you may not have to eat at noon."
"... What made you become like this!" Her brother used to be very pure!
It must be a love that smells sour!
After Xiang Changkong was delayed at school for so long, Xu Lian had already arrived at his house. Standing in front of Xiang Changkong's house, Xu Lian looked at the watch on her wrist, it was exactly twelve o'clock.
The door was opened by Weng Shuli, who was still wearing the apron that Xiang Changkong usually used.
This image is far from what Xu Lian looked like when she saw her before, and she was not used to it for a while. After Weng Shuli opened the door, she was stunned for a while, and then she remembered to greet someone to enter: "Xu Lian, come in."
"...Well." Xu Lian walked in and found that Weng Shuli was the only one at home. Weng Shuli followed her into the living room and said to her, "Today Xiang Nuan's teacher called Xiang Changkong to the school. The two of them should come back together later."
Xu Lian asked, "Did something happen to Xiang Nuan at school?"
"I don't know, the teacher didn't say it on the phone. They will come back and ask later." After Weng Shuli finished speaking, she and Xu Lian stood awkwardly in the living room. She pointed to the sofa, where Xu Lian had been sitting before. , "You sit first, they should almost be home."
"Okay." Xu Lian sat down on the sofa and saw a few oranges on the coffee table. She couldn't tell if these oranges were the ones she brought last time, but she remembered the incident of hurting Weng Shuli last time.
"Auntie, how is your hand?" she said, and glanced at Weng Shuli's hand.
Weng Shuli said, "It's alright, it was just a little injury."
After the conversation ended, the living room fell into silence again.
In the past, the two of them sat quietly in the room for an afternoon and didn't feel any embarrassment, but now Weng Shuli felt that it was impossible to sit like this for a minute. She raised her eyes to look at Xu Lian, and said, "I heard from Chang Kong that he broke up with you before. He must not be sincere about this. I can tell that he likes you very much."
Xu Lian buried her head slightly and said nothing.
Weng Shuli continued: "I don't have the right to ask you not to blame him, but you have seen the conditions of our family, let alone him. Even I don't think we are worthy of you."
"Auntie." Xu Lian interrupted her and raised her head to look at her, "I don't know what you guys think, but I don't think you deserve it or not, only if you like it or not."
This sounded reasonable at first glance, but Weng Shuli is someone from the past, and she knows that those who usually say such things are the ones with better conditions. Loving someone is not just liking, but also accompanied by fear.
When the other party is more excellent, this fear is stronger.
But if you like it, it will make you more brave.
She smiled and said to Xu Lian, "I hope you can be happy."
Xu Lian once wondered if she was being tricked. She hadn't clearly expressed her forgiveness to Xiang Changkong, so his mother blessed them.
But that sentence was picked up by himself.
The two sat in the living room and spoke very little. Fortunately, Xiang Zhangkong and Xiang Nuan came back after not sitting for a while. Seeing Weng Shuli, Xiang Nuan jumped up and said, "Mom, talk to me now!"
Weng Shuli hugged her helplessly and said, "Okay, all seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls, stop acting like a child."
Xiang Nuan still hugged her and didn't let go.
Weng Shuli said, "The apron on my body is very oily. If you are not afraid, just keep holding it."
"..." Xiang Nuan really bounced off her and wiped his face with his hand.
Weng Shuli smiled and stood up from the sofa: "I still have two dishes that I haven't fried yet, and I'll be ready to cook." She was afraid that the dishes would get cold, so she specially ordered two of them and didn't fry them. Now they're all back , she also went to the kitchen to fry the chopped vegetables.
Xiang Nuan looked at Xu Lian who was sitting on the sofa, and then looked at Xiang Changkong who was standing beside him. He consciously returned to the room to put his schoolbag, and then he never came out.
Xiang Changkong and Xu Lian stayed in the living room, the atmosphere was not much better than when Weng Shuli and Xu Lian were alone.
Xu Lian sat still, and didn't seem to have any intention of talking to him. She took a detour to Changkong on the other side of the sofa, picked up an orange and asked her, "Do you want to eat an orange? I'll cut it for you."
Xu Lian said: "No need, I'll eat right away, let's eat it later."
"Alright, eat the fruit after the meal." Xiang Changkong said, and put the oranges back.
After he put out the oranges, he kept looking at Xu Lian and didn't speak any more. What Xu Lian was most afraid of was that he looked at her like this. What did the teacher ask you to do?"
Xiang Changkong curled the corners of his mouth almost invisible, and replied, "The teacher said that she fell in love with a male classmate."
"Puppy love?" Xu Lian really didn't expect this to happen, Xiang Nuan looked so good, not like a student who knew puppy love at all.
Xiang Changkong said: "It's just a misunderstanding, it has been explained clearly, Xiang Nuan said that she only loves studying now."
Xu Lian: "…"
Why does she feel that Xiang Changkong is more skinny now than before? Is it because my mother is better that my mood is finally relieved
"I would like to thank you." Xiang Changkong looked at her, his eyes were soft and warm, "I talked to Xiang Nuan, and it was true that I had inadvertently put a lot of pressure on her before, what you said that day, scold her. Quite right."
Xu Lian said: "Well, it's good to know."
He lowered his head to Changkong and smiled.
Weng Shuli brought the dishes out of the kitchen at this time, Xiang Changkong heard the sound, got up and went to the kitchen to help her serve the dishes. Xu Lian stopped sitting on the sofa and knocked on Xiang Nuan's door: "Xiang Nuan, it's time to eat."
"Okay, come on!" Xiang Nuan put down the phone, trotted out, and smirked at Xu Lian. Xu Lian was also amused by her appearance: "I heard from your brother that you and your male classmate fell in love early?"
"No!" Xiang Nuan's face immediately turned red, "Our Xiang family never fall in love early!"
Xu Lian couldn't help laughing and said, "Oh, really?"
"Yes." Xiang Nuan winked at her, "So Sister Xu Lian, you are my brother's first love."
