Waiting for the Stars to Fall

Chapter 23: Waiting for the stars

Views:

Zhu Xingyao looked at Lu Ji and said apologetically, "Maybe I don't have time before the monthly exam, and the National Day holiday is also full. Let's talk about it when we have time."

Lu Ji licked the corner of his mouth and nodded gently: "Okay."

Zhou Yuan wanted to beat his chest and stamp his feet, brother, you have to be tougher!

The crowd of onlookers were half satisfied. At least... Mr. Lu had a date with the goddess! This was the ironclad evidence!

Lin Jiayu was completely stunned. She said "oh" and looked around to see if there was any teacher. Then she took out her cell phone from her pocket and called Jiang Tu: "Is your cell phone out of battery? Who do you want to call?"

Jiang Tu placed the phone in his palm. He was silent for a moment, then he held the phone and hummed, "Call Brother Liang."

Zhu Xingyao came out carrying a heavy schoolbag. She waved to Lin Jiayu and Jiang Tu, and took Li Xixi away.

Then, Lu Ji, Zhou Yuan, and Xu Xiangyang also left. They walked behind Zhu Xingyao, and Xu Xiangyang even called out to Li Xixi, "Hey, Li Xixi, do you have any opinion about me?"

When they reached the first floor, Li Xixi turned around and said coldly: "Oh, so you guys also have a 7-second memory?"

Xu Xiangyang: “…”

He looked at Zhou Yuan and Lu Ji.

Lu Ji smiled, "Girls sometimes really hold grudges."

Xu Xiangyang: “…”

Zhou Yuan patted his shoulder and said, "When you were in the first year of high school, you laughed at her for dressing up as a man to participate in a talent show. She was stunted. Girls are very sensitive to this, especially those with really busty breasts."

After Zhou Yuan finished speaking, he felt that Li Xixi looked like she wanted to kill someone with a knife.

He laughed dryly twice and ran away.

Xu Xiangyang: “…”

He suddenly realized and wanted to say something to save her, but Zhu Xingyao reminded him with a wooden face: "I advise you not to speak now. Whoever speaks will die sooner."

Then, she pulled the furious Li Xixi away, avoiding a massacre.

It can be considered as... compensation for rejecting Lu Ji's invitation.

Third floor.

Lin Jiayu and a few classmates were lying in the corridor, watching the show with great interest. She even laughed out loud. The people downstairs looked up and saw Lu Ji narrowing his eyes. She quickly covered her mouth and turned away.

The next second, the phone was stuffed into his arms.

Jiang Tu turned and left. She was stunned for a moment and hurriedly shouted, "Are you done?"

Jiang Tu didn't even turn his head: "I called, let's go to the store now."

Lin Jiayu said "oh" and looked down at the call record. It was clean. She turned her head to look downstairs in confusion. Jiang Tu was already downstairs. He was tall, thin and neat, and was walking towards the bicycle shed.

"Really? Lu Ji said last night that he would invite Zhu Xingyao and Li Xixi to dinner together."

"Invite two? That's not a sure thing!"

"That's not all? You said Lu Ji is pursuing Li Xixi? I'll cut off my head for you to see! He is definitely interested in Zhu Xingyao! Inviting Li Xixi is just a coincidence. She has a good relationship with Zhu Xingyao, so we have to win her over, right?"

"Lu Ji and Zhu Xingyao are a good match, but... Zhu Xingyao is going abroad, right? Are you preparing for a foreign country before you even start?"

The next day, everyone was discussing what happened last night. For a moment, the fact that Lu Ji was pursuing Zhu Xingyao seemed to have become a fact in everyone's eyes. When Zhu Xingyao heard these rumors, she was a little confused.

The monthly exam is coming soon, why do they still have so much energy to gossip

Li Xixi said: "It's because you and Lu Ji are both famous that everyone pays special attention to you. Look at other people, how can they get this much attention?"

Zhu Xingyao silently wrote the German words, paused for a moment, and said helplessly: "I don't want this kind of attention."

Suddenly there was a ball of paper on the table.

The two looked up.

Li Xixi opened it directly.

Xu Xiangyang: I take back what I said. I’m sorry, classmate Li Xixi.

The guy's handwriting was quite beautiful, but Li Xixi's face turned dark. She had a dream last night that she would never have breasts in her life. She quickly replied with a few words: Can you take back the urine you peed out

Xu Xiangyang: …

His face was full of black lines. He understood what Lu Ji said. Girls sometimes really hold grudges. Li Xixi's words were really philosophical. How could he take back the urine he had peed out? Should he drink it back? Squad Leader Xu always dared to say that he was the most popular, and no one dared to claim to be second. There was no one he couldn't win over. This was the first time he fell down with Li Xixi, and he was hated by her.

During the break, Zhang Sheng took advantage of every opportunity to get everyone to sign up for the school sports meet. All the stories of grudges and grievances were temporarily put aside before the monthly exam, not to mention the school sports meet. Only a few people responded.

Zhu Xingyao was annoyed by him, so when he asked, she said, "I'll sign up for the high jump."

Zhang Sheng scratched his head and said, "Xia Jin signed up for it. She won first place last year."

Xia Jin has been dancing ballet since she was young. She is light and has good jumping ability. Last year, Zhu Xingyao also signed up for the high jump, and she came in second. Since Xia Jin signed up, Zhu Xingyao changed her mind and said, "Then I'll sign up for... the long jump."

“… She also signed up for the long jump.”

"… "

Anyway, Xia Jin will take care of anything related to dancing.

Zhu Xingyao looked up and said with a smile: "Then 100 meters."

There are few girls in the science class, so a project is essential and you can't escape it. It's better to choose an easy one as early as possible.

Zhang Sheng felt that she was giving him face, and he was overjoyed as he lowered his head and wrote it down. Then he looked up at Jiang Tu who was sitting behind them, and his expression changed immediately. He sneered, "Jiang Tu, you should sign up for two projects as well. If a boy over 1.8 meters tall in the class doesn't sign up for two projects, then he is not..."

"1500 and 3000."

Jiang Tu interrupted him coldly.

Zhang Sheng fully expected Jiang Tu to refuse, but he didn't expect him to agree so readily. He was choked for a moment, and after writing his name, he cursed under his breath and left.

Few people signed up for the long-distance race, but I didn’t expect Jiang Tu to sign up for the two most difficult ones.

Jiang Tu looked up and met Zhu Xingyao's smiling eyes. Last time after the physical education class, she and Li Xixi talked about the school sports meeting. She turned around and said, "Brother Tu, you can go to participate in the long-distance race. Xixi and I will cheer you on and give you water."

I don't know, does she still remember it

Of course Zhu Xingyao remembered it, she was not a fish with a 7-second memory.

She smiled very beautifully, her voice was light and soft: "Come on, Brother Tu, Xixi and I will go to cheer you up and give you water when the time comes."

After all, in the whole class, he is only acquainted with her and Li Xixi!

During the break, Jiang Tu took off his glasses to rest his eyes. He put his hands on the windowsill and looked at her quietly with his dark eyes. He nodded. This was what he wanted, something he could get in his hand.

At the end of September, because of the National Day holiday, the school did not have a holiday on the last weekend and used the weekend for exams.

The two-day monthly exam is over, and there are only two days left before the National Day holiday. The school was very merciful and said that the results will be announced after the National Day holiday. The students then felt at ease and excitedly looked forward to the short holiday.

Zhu Xingyao received an extra letter from classmate J that week.

Maybe because he couldn't post letters during the National Day holiday, so he wrote to her in advance? Li Xixi said, "Yes! Classmate J is so thoughtful. You didn't even want to have a meal with him, but you were happy with the letter."

Zhu Xingyao explained: "I don't have time, and don't we all eat together in the cafeteria at noon?"

There were a few times when we did eat together at the same table in the cafeteria.

Li Xixi leaned over the table: "That doesn't count, Xingxing! I want a date! Preferably one that's alone!"

Zhu Xingyao: "I really don't have time." It was already quite late after she finished class, and she couldn't keep him waiting. Besides, a letter was a letter, and she didn't have to face Lu Ji's face and expression when reading it. It was very relaxing, and it felt completely different.

Li Xixi: “…”

She could only say that Lu Ji was a little miserable.

Classmate J wishes her a happy holiday.

Zhu Xingyao was carrying a pile of books and two letters and was preparing to go to German class. She stood at the usual place waiting for the driver to pick her up. A few minutes later, just as she was about to get in the car, she saw Lin Jiayu being supported by a girl, jumping and hopping, and coming out of the school gate with great difficulty.

She was startled and ran over: "Jia Yu, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Jiayu's face was pale, and there was cold sweat on her forehead. She must be in great pain. The female classmate looked up at her, her eyes lit up, as if she saw a savior: "Ah, Zhu Xingyao, can your car take Lin Jiayu? She was practicing high jump just now and twisted her ankle... I don't know if it's serious..."

Zhu Xingyao looked at Lin Jiayu and supported her without saying a word: "Let's go to the hospital. It will be troublesome if she hurts her bones."

Lin Jiayu thought about how much money it would cost to go to the hospital, and regardless of the pain, she shook her head hastily: "No, no, there's a health clinic over at Hexi Lane, it's cheaper there, and... I think it should be fine, it was very painful just now, but it's a little better now."

"Can we film over there?" Zhu Xingyao asked with a frown.

“…I don’t think so.”

"Then let's go to the People's Hospital." Zhu Xingyao thought for a moment and lied, "My mother is a doctor at the hospital. She can get a discount. It's almost the same as a clinic."

Lin Jiayu has never been to a big hospital for medical treatment since she was born, and she believes in Zhu Xingyao.
