After studying for a while, although Xie Ruan's English score was still hovering around the passing line, he accepted Bo Jin's advice and listened to English news or movie audios every night when he got home, and his sense of language had improved.
When doing exercises, you no longer have to focus on grammar. Sometimes you can just choose the correct answer based on your feeling.
When the results of the first small test came out, he scored 90 points for the first time.
Looking at the bright red 98 on the test paper, Xie Ruan almost thought the teacher had handed out the wrong paper. He checked it several times before he dared to believe that it was really his score.
Xie Ruan instantly forgot about the frustration and irritability of not being able to understand the cloze test, and shook the test paper in his hand proudly. What does it mean to accumulate knowledge for a long time? What does it mean to accumulate knowledge over time? That's it!
It’s just passing, what’s so difficult about it
He tried to control the expression on his face, trying to make himself look calm and composed. He didn't want to get carried away just because he had achieved some success, as if he couldn't keep his composure.
But the joy in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows revealed his true thoughts.
Bo Jin seemed to be playing with his phone, but his eyes were actually on Xie Ruan. Seeing his happy face made him feel itchy, and he wanted to grab him and rub him.
It was only after meeting Xie Ruanzhi that Bo Jin realized that he was a bad person at heart. The more he liked him, the more he couldn't help wanting to bully him.
I want to see his ears and face turn red...
The buzzing sound of his cell phone interrupted Bo Jin's thoughts and he lowered his eyes.
In the WeChat dialog box that I opened, I saw several messages coming in in succession because there was no response for a long time.
Li Fugui: Brother Bo, tell me if you are satisfied or not.
Li Fugui: [questionjpg]
Li Fugui: Brother Bo
Li Fugui is a colleague of Bo Jin in the same team. His real name is Li Yi. His family runs a jewelry business. He just graduated from university this year. Because he is a relative of the boss of the company affiliated with the research project, he was able to join Bo Jin's team as an exception.
But he has no access to core technologies, and usually just helps out and does odd jobs to gain some qualifications.
Li Yi admires Bo Jin very much, so even though he is a few years older than Bo Jin, he still calls him Brother Bo.
A few days ago, Bo Jin asked him to help customize a men's pendant, and Li Yi agreed without hesitation. That day, he pulled the best designer in the family over, and after several rounds of communication, the finished product was finally produced today.
Bo Jin clicked it.
That was a little white owl with goat horns, with rounded features but sharp eyes, fierce and cute. Not to mention, his temperament was quite similar to Xie Ruan's.
Bo Jin thought about it for a long time before deciding on it.
Xie Ruan was born in the year of the sheep, and Bai Ze is a lucky animal that can turn misfortune into good fortune. This not only implies his zodiac sign, but also has a good meaning.
Bo Jin smiled, Xiu tapped the screen with his finger and sent back two words -
Bo: Yes.
I said I would actively pursue Xie Ruan, but what would it mean to just express my love to her and say "I like you"? At least I should give her something to show my sincerity.
Empty words are too cheap, Xie Ruan deserves the best.
Li Fugui: That’s fine! I’ll ask them to do it right away. They want platinum, right
Bo: Yeah.
Li Yi was very happy to have helped the boss, and he became so proud of himself that he started joking.
Li Fugui: Hey Brother Bo, other people give gifts like gemstones and jade, why do you only give platinum
Li Fugui: With your income, shouldn’t you start with diamonds
Why only platinum
Bo Jin half leaned back in his chair, looked at the message and smiled.
Of course it was out of his selfishness.
Except for the old employees of the orphanage, few people know that his original name was Platinum, which he gave himself.
Thinking of his dark history, Bo Jin, the shameless old rogue, coughed, and it was a bit unbearable to look at it.
At that time, the cook's daughter was getting married. In addition to the customary betrothal gifts, her in-laws bought her an extra platinum ring.
The aunt was very happy and praised platinum to everyone she met. Bo Jin was young at that time and didn't understand anything. He heard the aunt say that platinum was more expensive than gold because platinum was the most valuable thing in the world.
The most valuable thing is that it will not be thrown away again.
In the heart of Xiao Bo Jin, who was abandoned again, nothing is more important than love.
So when registering their household registration, other children all followed the surname of Guoguo. Only he insisted on being called Platinum.
The hospital had no choice. The child was different from other children. He was smart and had a good memory, so they couldn't fool him. But they couldn't get over the fact that he was really called Platinum. So they simply compromised and took advantage of the fact that the dead child couldn't read and named him Bo Jin, which is a homonym of Platinum.
Whenever Bo Jin thought of this before, he felt it was too stupid, but...
He clicked on the picture again and looked at Xie Ruan next to him. Now he suddenly felt that he was very far-sighted to persist at that time.
Platinum white.
Xie Ruan of Bo Jin.
Well, Bo Jin curled his lips, this is the destined fate for them.
Li Fugui saw that he had not replied yet, and felt that he was moved by his own words. He said, "There is no need to be stingy when pursuing someone. You must spend the money you need to spend. You must make every effort to keep going forward."
Li Fugui: So, do you regret it? It's not too late to regret now. I'll ask them to add a few diamonds.
Add diamonds? What kind of diamonds should be added
Bo Jin sneered and replied without thinking.
Bo: No [smile]
Seeing a death, Li Yi felt a chill on his back, and instantly remembered the fear of being beaten by Bo Jin at the company last time. He shrunk his shoulders and dared not say anything more.
Forget it, he has done his best. Since he doesn't listen, don't blame him for not reminding him when you can't catch him.
Li Yi was a lot like He Mingjie in some ways. Bo Jin was afraid that he might get carried away and pay for the diamonds out of his own pocket, so after thinking it over, he sent him another message.
Bo: Just do as I say, just platinum, don’t add anything else.
Li Yi responded immediately.
Li Fugui: OK, boss. I got it.
Bo Jincai closed the dialog box with relief and was about to put the phone back into the hole on the table when he was suddenly tapped on the shoulder.
Xie Ruan came over, speaking casually, but his eyes were bright with joy: "Hey Bo Jin, I'll treat you to lunch at noon, what do you want to eat?"
He never forgets the person who dug the well when he drinks the water. He is a kind person!
What's the point of eating? Bo Jin sighed in his heart, feeling very disappointed with his friend.
There were so many ways to be grateful, why did he choose the most boring one
If you don't want to kiss, just say a few soft words or hold hands.
Bo Jin raised his eyelids and said lazily, "No."
Xie Ruan was stunned, but didn't think much about it. He was in a good mood at the moment, and immediately patted his chest and said, "Then tell me what you want, and Dad will satisfy you."
Dad? Bo Jin narrowed his eyes. After not cleaning up for a few days, the little classmate started to show off again.
Bo Jin sat up straighter, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Really?"
Xie Ruan didn't have so many twists and turns in his mind, and he immediately said, "Of course, a gentleman's words are as good as gold."
"Okay," Bo Jin nodded, looking at him with a half-smile, "Then ask Dad to come and listen first."
Don't you like to be around daddy? I don't believe that I can't cure his problem.
Xie Ruan: “…”
He didn't think it was a big deal when he said it himself, but why did he feel inexplicably ashamed when Bo Jin said it!
"Why don't you scream?" Bo Jin smiled with a mocking look on his face, "Who was it just now who said he would satisfy me with anything I said, and now you deny it after just a few seconds?"
He sighed and accused: "Scumbag."
Scumbag Xie Ruan: "..."
"Change it," Xie Ruan coughed uncomfortably and tried to argue, "I mean a reasonable request."
"What's unreasonable about that?" Hua Bo Jin disagreed. He was holding back evil thoughts in his heart, but his face was serious. "Did I explain the questions to you? Did I write a notebook for you?"
The topic changed suddenly. Xie Ruan didn't have time to think about why he asked that question. She just subconsciously followed his words and said, "I gave it to you."
"That's it," Bo Jin smiled shamelessly, "A teacher is a father for life, so it's not too much to ask you to call me dad."
Xie Ruan: “…”
What is the use of this sentence?!
But the old beast Bo Jin didn't know what sympathy meant. He raised his chin towards Xie Ruan and said, "Go ahead."
Xie Ruan kept his mouth shut and said nothing.
Bo Jin didn't rush him. He just supported his chin with one hand and looked at him leisurely.
Xie Ruan could bear it at first, but gradually, he became uncomfortable with being looked at. The white earlobes were stained with red spots, which looked particularly obvious.
"Pfft," Bo Jin finally couldn't help laughing, and reached out to rub his head, "I'm just kidding, are you stupid? Inviting you to dinner or something... Are you trying to be polite with me? If you have any questions, just come to me..."
He paused, looked at Xie Ruan mischievously, and told him what he had just said: "Dad will satisfy you."
Xie Ruan: “…”
Do you have to take back some of the bargains?!
Dog East!
At noon, Xie Ruan and Song Xinghe went out to eat.
Without letting Song Xinghe speak, he suggested, "Let's eat Malatang, the one you said was delicious last time in the dormitory."
Song Xinghe was stunned: "That place is a bit far, and don't you not eat spicy food?"
"No," Xie Ruan put her arm around his shoulders, "If you like to eat, let's go. I'll order bone soup."
Song Xinghe was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes: "Good brother!"
If he can make such a friend in his life, it will be worth it even if he fails the exam and remains single for seventeen years!
The two of them walked across the street arm in arm and went to eat some spicy hot pot.
Song Xinghe really liked the taste of home. He didn't stop eating even when his mouth was swollen from the spiciness. He emptied the bowl and then gulped down a few mouthfuls of water: "Let's go."
After he went out, he was about to walk towards the school, but was stopped by Xie Ruan: "Next, I want to buy two grilled sausages."
There is a shop selling grilled sausages near my spicy hot pot restaurant.
The owner is very honest. The sausages are homemade, full of meat and very fragrant. Of course, the price is also much higher than ordinary sausages.
But even this did not dampen the students' enthusiasm. The store was crowded every day and the food was often sold out before the afternoon.
Song Xinghe was surprised: "Are you not full?"
He felt that Xie Ruan had eaten a lot just now. Could it be that his appetite increased due to the heavy study load
"Yeah." Xie Ruan responded vaguely without saying much.
"Then let's go." Song Xinghe shrank his neck and put his hands in his pockets. "It's really cold. I hope there won't be too many people queuing up next day."
But he was disappointed. It was dinner time and when they arrived, there was already a line in front of the store.
Xie Ruan felt a little embarrassed and said to Song Xinghe: "Why don't you go back first and I'll do it myself."
"No." Song Xinghe waved his hand and said cheerfully, "You are too bored. I will accompany you."
What he said made Xie Ruan feel even more guilty: "Then I'll treat you to grilled sausages."
"No, no, no!" Hearing this, Song Xinghe jumped three feet high, "I'm so full now that I can't even spit out my saliva."
However, it was a good deal that was delivered to the doorstep, so he rolled his eyes and said with a wicked smile, "Remember this, next time you treat me to Burger King, I really like their fries."
"OK."
The two waited in line for nearly ten minutes and finally bought the grilled sausage that Xie Ruan had been craving for.
While scanning the code to pay, he said to the shop owner: "Please pack it for me. I need a few more plastic bags."
The weather is cold, so it's normal to be afraid of getting cold. The owner didn't think it was strange, and quickly packed up according to Xie Ruan's request.
Xie Ruan took it and without wasting a second, he immediately took off the scarf around his neck and wrapped it up: "Let's go, let's go quickly."
Song Xinghe: “???”
Song Xinghe suddenly felt that something was wrong. He stared at Xie Ruan for a while and suddenly said, "You didn't eat it yourself, you bought it for someone else."
"Can't I go back and eat?" Xie Ruan looked uncomfortable for a moment, but he quickly covered it up and said, "Don't ask anymore, just go."
Song Xinghe was not fooled and held him tightly: "Tell me the truth, Xiao Xie, did you buy it for Bo Shen?"
Xie Ruan was really helpless because of him, and was afraid that if he delayed too long, the sausage would get cold and taste bad, so he could only say: "What's the matter, he explained the problem to me, so I don't treat him to a meal?"
Song Xinghe hit the nail on the head: "So you wanted to come here from the beginning, right?"
Xie Ruan: “…”
Song Xinghe: “…”
Damn the touching! He thought he was a brother who accommodated his taste! It turned out that he had other motives!
The world is not worth it!
Finally, Xie Ruan appeased Song Xinghe with a Burger King meal and a family bucket.
The two hurried back to school. Song Xinghe went straight back to class, while Xie Ruan went upstairs while Bo Jin called: "Where are you?"
Because he ran too fast, he was out of breath for a while, which was particularly obvious on the phone. Bo Jin suddenly felt something was wrong, so he walked out of the classroom: "Classroom, what's wrong?"
Xie Ruan said, "Meet me at the security door at the end of the corridor. I'll be right there."
"Okay." Bo Jin didn't ask any more questions, hung up the phone, and stayed where he was as Xie Ruan said.
In just a few minutes, his mind was in a mess, full of bad thoughts, until he saw Xie Ruan intact, he breathed a sigh of relief: "What's wrong?"
It's not that scary. Bo Jin's emotions fluctuated greatly and he could hardly hold the expression on his face.
Just when I was thinking about how to teach the little classmate a lesson and tell him not to be half-hearted, I saw Xie Ruan take out something that was tightly wrapped from her scarf.
Bo Jin was stunned.
Before he could react, Xie Ruan had already stuffed something into his hand: "Here, this is for you. It's the sausage from across the street."
The last time Sun Haoxiang invited me to afternoon tea, I didn't touch the roasted sweet potatoes or hot milk tea, I only ate the grilled sausages, Xie Ruan remembered it all.
Xie Ruan's tone was casual and nonchalant, as if he was really just going out for a meal and bringing something for Bo Jin. However, his rapid breathing and his face, which was flushed by the wind, clearly told Bo Jin that this was not the case.
The sausage in my hand was still hot, as if it had just been grilled, and had not cooled down due to the short distance.
Bo Jin's Adam's apple rolled, his eyes fixed on Xie Ruan's face, his voice slightly tense: "For me?"
"Well," Xie Ruan stood in front of him, blew on his hands, and urged, "Eat quickly, I'll help you watch the teacher."
Bo Jin closed his eyes and suppressed the throbbing in his heart. He did not move, but asked softly: "Are you cold without the scarf?"
Xie Ruan said: "It's not cold."
Actually it was cold, but there was no need to tell Bo Jin.
Bo Jin didn't listen to him and reached out to gently touch the side of his face.
Very cold, colder than his hands.
Bo Jin pursed his lips, grabbed Xie Ruan's hand without saying anything, and led him to the classroom.
"Hey? What are you doing?" Xie Ruan jogged to catch up with him, thinking about the sausage, "You don't want to eat..."
Xie Ruan's voice suddenly stopped.
Bo Jin reached out, took out his own scarf from the seat, and wrapped it around his neck.
Halfway through, he stopped and asked Xie Ruan: "Are you going to take it?"
When Xie Ruan was teased by him, his heart didn't beat faster, but when he met his dark eyes, his heart suddenly started beating violently. He swallowed and whispered, "No."
"That's good." Bo Jinxiu's fingers moved slightly. Knowing that Xie Ruan loved beauty, he relied on his strong memory to tie a nice button according to a short video he had accidentally seen.
"Are you cold?"
Bo Jin's scarf was soft and warm, with a faint scent of soap, which was Bo Jin's unique scent. Xie Ruan was wrapped in Bo Jin's tenderness, and her cold cheeks gradually regained their temperature.
He pulled off his scarf uncomfortably, lowered his eyes and said, "It's not cold."
"Yeah." Bo Jin patted his head and walked out of the classroom with the two sausages.
The grilled sausage smelled delicious and was slightly hot. Bo Jin leaned against the windowsill. Although it was a cold winter day, he felt warm from head to toe.
He looked at the photo of Xiao Bai Ze on his phone and was not as eager as Ke to have the pendant arrive soon.
Perhaps his prayers were heard.
The day before the final exam, Bo Jin was eating in the cafeteria when a new message suddenly popped up on WeChat, indicating that a courier was being delivered.
From Fengcheng, sender: Li Yi.
It's finally here.
Bo Jin slowly raised the corners of his lips, and for the first time he did not finish all the food on his plate. He stood up and called Xie Ruan as he walked out: "Where are you?"
He likes him too, very much.
I wanted to tell him right away, but there was no time.
