"...Aunt Zhou came back yesterday and brought two old hens that they raised in the countryside. I specially asked her to make soup for you to nourish your body. It has been boiling since this morning. When I went out, the house was full It's all scented!"
Pei Yue sat in the co-pilot chattering away, unaware that the atmosphere in the back seat had become frozen.
Lu Xingyan was expressionless, and his mind was full of the phrase "I can still use a lighter to light your grave", these words came to mind so many times, he even had a sense of the picture—
There is a small tomb in a lonely mountain, with a dilapidated small wooden monument erected on it, surrounded by overgrown weeds.
Shen Xingruo put the incense sticks bought for one yuan and three on the roadside in front of his grave bag, then took out the lighter, lit them one by one slowly, then sneered, got up and patted the ashes on his hands, and pulled out his cigarette lighter neatly. The small wooden tablet made him not deserve a name even after he died.
"...What's your attitude when I'm talking to you? Lu Xingyan!" When the car stopped in front of the traffic light, Lu Shan couldn't help turning around and scolding.
Lu Xingyan returned to his senses, raised his eyelids and glanced at his father, "What?"
Pei Yue: "Your dad asked about your final exam results last semester."
Lu Xingyan: "..."
Mingli is very humane. In order to let the students spend the winter and summer vacations safely, the results of each final exam are not announced until the next semester starts.
This semester was the second day of school when the grades were released. The form was pasted at the back of the classroom. It was three pages long and very detailed. It also included data that was not often calculated, such as the grade ranking of a single subject and the class ranking of a single subject.
Li Chengfan's self-esteem was quite strong, and when he saw it, he yelled angrily, "What does the school want to do?! There are so many underpants on the list, and they won't let us wear them! Don't bring such humiliating ones!"
Originally, everyone didn't pay much attention to the people at the bottom of the last page, but after he howled like this, someone turned to the back to take a look.
Well, these guys really performed quite steadily in every subject.
Shen Xingruo listened to the test paper analysis class, and also carefully read the grade sheet of class one, made a little calculation in his mind, and had a preliminary understanding of the level of Mingli students, as well as his own level in Mingli.
Judging from the results of the final exam this time, He Siyue and Zhai Jiajing were considered to be relatively top-notch in their grades, but overall, Class One was among the three liberal arts experimental classes and could only be regarded as the bottom of the pack.
And Lu Xingyan, in the first class, is also the real tail of the car.
Seeing that Lu Xingyan remained silent, Lu Shan turned to Shen Xingruo, "Xingruo, tell me, how much did he take?"
Shen Xingruo was silent, "I didn't pay much attention, it seems to be 297?"
"337."
Lu Xingyan spoke suddenly, and glanced at Shen Xingruo, as if he was quite dissatisfied with her underreporting by forty points.
Lu Shan was choked up for a moment, and suddenly felt that he shouldn't have unnecessary fantasies about unrealistic things.
Pei Yue's mentality became much more stable. After Lu Xingyan reported the score, she was still concentrating on the P-picture without even raising her head. Her face was full of calmness of "I already knew how bad he is".
Having dinner at home in the evening, Lu Xingyan and Shen Xingruo went back to their rooms after the meal, and they lived together peacefully all night.
Early the next morning, Lu Shan wanted to fly to the imperial capital, as if there was something urgent to deal with, he left before he had time to eat breakfast.
I don't know if it was a coincidence or the timing was right, Lu Shan left, and Lu Xing came down from the stairs behind, carrying his schoolbag shoulder strap, as if he was about to go out.
Pei Yue asked, "Where are you going this early in the morning?"
"Student's birthday." He casually took a piece of toast from the dining table and put it in his mouth, then took two sips of milk.
Shen Xingruo suddenly stopped, staring at the glass of milk without blinking.
Lu Xingyan noticed her gaze, looked at the milk in his hand, and inadvertently glanced at another empty glass on the table, and suddenly understood something.
Pei Yue didn't pay attention that much, she just followed up and asked, "Are you in the same class? Then why didn't you take Ruoruo with you?"
Lu Xingyan put down the milk pretending to be calm, "She doesn't know a classmate from the first year of high school."
Pei Yue: "Then will you come back for dinner at night?"
"I won't come back." Lu Xingyan said too much, walked straight out, and then made a gesture of waving.
"Look, if you don't study hard all day long, you know you're out in the field. You don't have any ambition! His father and I were obviously not like this when we were young, and I don't know who he is like!"
"Hey, I, sooner or later, I will be so angry that my head will be covered with white hair..."
Shen Xingruo quietly listened to Pei Yue's thoughts, and calmly pushed the glass of milk that had been tainted by Lu Xingyan a little farther away.
In fact, Lu Xingyan didn't go far. Today is Chen Zhu's birthday, and she has already booked a villa party. The villa she has booked is in Luoxing Lake.
Xu Chengzhou and the others brought ingredients and seasonings, and had a self-service BBQ on the lawn outside the villa at noon.
Lu Xingyan didn't know what he was thinking, he was holding a skewer of chicken wings in his hand, flipping it back and forth on the fire, it was almost burnt, and he didn't see him pick it up to eat.
"Lu Xingyan, your chicken wings are going to be mushy, what are you thinking about!" Chen Zhu noticed the chicken wings in the middle of the conversation, and shouted at Lu Xingyan.
Only then did Lu Xingyan come back to his senses, and casually handed her the chicken wings, "Eat it."
Chen Zhu leaned back, with disgust on his face, "Come on, I don't dare to try poison with myself."
"Sister Zhu, you really don't know how to be blessed while you are in the midst of blessings. Master Lu condescends to bake chicken wings for you. Look at you, how disgusted you are." The boy teased.
"Why, I can't be disgusted anymore?"
"Yes, yes, you are the birthday star today, what do you like?"
Chen Zhu made a "tss".
For today's birthday, she specially wore a red dress, and the flamboyant red dress was just right for her.
She still wears a birthday crown on her head, and she is very lively talking and laughing with people happily.
Somehow, someone turned the topic around to Lu Xingyan, "Hey Young Master Lu, in fact, we can go directly to your house, it's so complicated, I spent ten minutes looking for the way."
Lu Xingyan didn't answer, didn't raise his eyes, as if he didn't hear, he threw the unwanted chicken wings on the grill, and opened a can of beer.
It was Chen Zhu who interjected, "What am I doing at his house for my birthday? You are so funny."
In fact, Chen Zhu had told Lu Xingyan on WeChat before that he would go directly to his house for his birthday this time, and this group of people used to go to his house often, so she didn't think much about it, so she just mentioned it.
But Lu Xingyan replied "inconvenient", and didn't say why it was inconvenient.
She never mentioned it again.
Halfway through the barbecue, the cake was cut, and everyone chatted while eating.
"A transfer student came to class one, right? I've been hearing people mention it a lot lately."
"Yes, that transfer student is very beautiful!"
Bian He was in the first class, and verified his real name: "It's really beautiful."
"I remember it's called Shen Xingruo, and the name sounds really nice."
"Hey, talking about this transfer student made me feel weird. I went to class one to watch it several times, but I didn't see it every time." Xu Chengzhou was puzzled, and while rolling the skewers, he elbowed Lu Xingyan, " what do you think?"
Lu Xingyan has been asked this question at least 18 times. He looked back casually, "I said she is beautiful, can she become the global beauty pageant champion?"
Xu Chengzhou was choked, and decided to promote Lu Xingyan to the top of the ranking list.
In the afternoon, everyone sang and played cards.
Lu Xingyan played a few hands of poker, but Xu Chengzhou was so fucking entangled that he had to wait a long time for a card to come out. He got tired of waiting, threw the cards to Bian He, and went out to smoke by himself.
In fact, his addiction to cigarettes is not heavy. When he lights one, he smokes half and burns half.
Suddenly Chen Zhu came out of the room, holding the mobile phone in both hands, his eyes were red, and something was wrong.
He dusted off the cigarette ash and asked casually, "Hey, what's the matter with you?"
Chen Zhu didn't raise his head, and walked out of the villa without saying a word.
Lu Xingyan didn't want to move at first, but there was Luoxing Lake outside, and he would drown a few blind people in a year, so he pressed the smoke button and followed out.
Walking outside the villa, Chen Zhu couldn't help crying, and the tears fell like broken threads, "He has a girlfriend! He has a girlfriend so soon! Woooooo, it's still my birthday When... post a group photo on my birthday!"
Lu Xingyan took her phone and looked at it. It turned out that it was her childhood sweetheart, Little Bai Yang, who showed Bonn's love in Moments.
Chen Zhu: "This woman must have posted it! This is declaring war on me!!"
"You've made up too much of your brain, it looks like the man's tone."
Chen Zhu choked up for three seconds, then cried even louder.
Lu Xingyan: "..."
It was strange that he didn't feel anything special this time, only that Chen Zhu's crying made his brain hurt.
He didn't know what to say. After all, he was born without the ability to light up the comforting skill. After standing there for a long time, he only said, "Don't cry."
Chen Zhu didn't hear what he said at all, he was completely in the grief of losing his love on one side, and he cried more and more vigorously, and the more he cried, the more devoted he was.
Lu Xingyan stood indifferently for two minutes. He couldn't take it anymore, so he called Xu Chengzhou and asked him to quickly find some girls.
During the waiting time, Lu Xingyan was still thinking about the ultimate proposition of life - how could I ever like her? No, it shouldn't be like it.
In fact, it was a group of people playing truth or dare at first. When Lu Xingyan was asked what kind of girl he liked, he stated a few criteria perfunctorily, but was complained about being insincere and insisted on giving a reference.
His mind turned around, and it seemed that the only girls around who were not so annoying and could get along with each other normally were Chen Zhu, so he said, "Chen Zhu is like that."
In the end, for some reason, "Chen Zhu is like that" was automatically translated as Chen Zhu, and a few buddies arranged scenes for him every day, and urged him to get along with Chen Zhu alone.
As time passed, he also seemed to be brainwashed, thinking that he should like Chen Zhu.
Some time ago, when he learned that Chen Zhu liked her little bamboo horse brother, he really felt uncomfortable to take on the role with affection, but when he woke up the next day, he fully accepted this fact and decided not to fall in love with a single bamboo.
On the other side, Shen Xingruo took a nap, practiced the piano, and then planned to go to the library for self-study.
In the past two years, the city government has vigorously supported the development of the Luoxing Lake area in the north of the city, and moved the city library to this neighborhood. It only takes about ten minutes to walk from Lu's house.
Shen Xingruo was carrying a schoolbag, with his hands in his pockets, listening to his hearing, while walking forward along Luoxing Lake.
Suddenly seeing a familiar figure ahead, she paused.
It's Lu Xingyan.
Next to Lu Xingyan was a girl who was crying heartbreakingly and her hair disheveled.
And Lu Xingyan just stood there half leaning on the tree trunk, watching coldly.
At first glance, it looks like a scumbag who insists on breaking up, and the woman is too sad and is still trying to stay.
Bad eyesight can't be saved, Shen Xingruo didn't want to meddle in other people's business, so he took a detour.
Lu Xingyan didn't go home until after eleven o'clock in the evening.
Shen Xingruo just happened to go downstairs to drink water, and seeing him looking tired and lazy, he filled his mind with a sadomasochism drama in which you break up and I keep you.
The two stayed at home on Sunday, but they didn't even make eye contact. Shen Xingruo thinks this is very good, and hopes to keep it in the future.
But when she returned to school in the evening, she heard a piece of bad news from Shi Qin: "Xingruo, we are going to change seats tomorrow, and the seating chart is in the group, have you read it? You are at the same table as Lu Xingyan!"
