As rain and frost descended, the solar rose earlier.

On Sunday morning at 8.20, Zhou Sisi rang Lu Xi’s home doorbell.

“Why are you early? Why are you sporting a masks?” Whereas asking Lu Xi took the breakfast from her hand easily.

Placing on slippers Zhou Sisi mentioned. “I’ve a chilly.”

Lu Xi: “What class are you going to take with a chilly?”

Zhou Sisi: “Carrying a masks won’t infect you.”

Lu Xi took a chunk from a sizzling bun: “It’s not that I’m afraid of being contaminated by you, however I simply don’t perceive why you might be so devoted.”

Zhou Sisi dictated as regular earlier than finding out his information.

Of the sixty-four phrases, Lu Xi received fifty-one appropriate.

This time, the dictation was significantly better than the earlier thrice.

“You’re making progress.” Zhou Sisi’s eyes curled flippantly. “Maintain working exhausting.”

Lu Xi discovered that the eyes outdoors the masks had been so lovely that he didn’t dare to look extra.

“Adopted by the earlier part, type out the indefinite pronouns.”

“The distinction between ‘every’ and ‘each’. ‘Every’ emphasizes the person, and the quantity will be two or extra…”

After explaining this small information level she requested the query, “For instance, how ought to we categorical that every of us has a mobile phone?”

“…”

Zhou Sisi who was used to getting no response requested: “We every have cellphone, proper?”

“…Fallacious.” Lu Xi positioned his elbow on the desk, and his clear fingers positioned over his lips.

“Huh?” Zhou Sisi instantly inquired, “The place is the error?”

“…”

Zhou Sisi: “We every have a cellphone, is that this assertion flawed?”

Lu Xi: “…no.”

“Excellent.” She affirmed gently.

“The opposite, ‘each’, emphasizes the entire, the quantity have to be three or extra…”

After explaining step-by-step, she interspersed with focused questions.

The one “pupil” would sometimes reply briefly, and his perspective was nonetheless lax, however he would barely cooperate along with her.

There was a bit of progress, a change little by little. Zhou Sisi was affected person sufficient with Lu Xi.

…

“I heard Lu Xi’s mom say that you simply typically make breakfast for Lu Xi?” Chen Cui curled her legs on the couch and painted her nails.

Zhou Sisi walked in direction of the room. “Hmm.”

“Yesterday, I paid the lease to Lu Xi’s mom. She mentioned she wish to thank our household Sisi, and charged half…”

“You didn’t pay in full?”

“She insisted on giving me half of the refund…”

Zhou Sisi abruptly circled, frowning. “If somebody retreats, you simply settle for it?”

“After all not.” Chen Cui dipped the nail polish within the bottle. “You give Lu Xi a make-up lesson and produce breakfast. It’s all between the children. How can I become involved with lease?”

“If I take again half, how stingy do I look. It’s so shameless.”

Zhou Sisi mentioned quietly: “The lease opened by Aunt Xu and Uncle Lu is inexpensive sufficient.” Since they rented this condo, the lease had not risen for a number of years, and it had lengthy been decrease than the market worth.

“They’ve cash of their household.” Chen Cui took it with no consideration. “Have a look at my new nail coloration, does it look good?”

“…Good.” Zhou Sisi lowered her eyelashes.

“You don’t need to prepare dinner dinner for me tonight. I’m going to a buddy’s home later.”

“What are you going to do?”

“Taking part in mahjong to loosen up.”

To play mahjong once more…

This individual was her organic mom with comparable blood to her personal.

Zhou Sisi was so upset that she simply needed to be alone.

“The cinnamon at house is operating out, isn’t it?” Chen Cui mentioned. “I’ll purchase some again tonight by the best way.”

“You may have a poor physique and anemia, so eat extra cinnamon. Add ginger candies and purple dates to soak them collectively in water.”

“…… hmm.” Zhou Sisi closed the room door.

The fatigue had most likely been brought on by a chilly, and her physique confirmed its weariness.

She took off her coat and lay on the mattress with out taking any hair ties.

Can’t sleep.

Her head appeared to be stuffed with cotton wool, and there was a cloud of black and white smoke in entrance of her.

Unable to sleep, she discovered one thing to do.

She began to observe her English speech and repeated it a number of instances.

It was as if she pulled away into two components, one was a physique targeted on memorization, and the opposite was a soul that was empty on the sidelines.

After finishing it one other time.

Within the lengthy silence of its proprietor, the telephone vibrated twice. The buzzing of it echoed together with the wood tabletop.

After a protracted whereas, Zhou Sisi picked up the telephone.

On the WeChat web page, Lu Xi’s profile image was on the prime of the message record.

[Transfer] please affirm fee

Lu Xi: The cash for the meal throughout this era, accumulate it quick.

“I’ll provide you with dietary supplements in physics and chemistry.” Zhou Sisi replied, “Should you agree, I’ll settle for it.”

After ending the primary class sleepily, Lu Xi placed on his sweater hoodie, and promptly fell asleep on the desk as quickly as Lao Zhuang left.

“Lu Xi Lu Xi~” Xiang Yinglan got here to the seat. “I’ll go to the commissary later, what ought to I deliver you?”

“No.” Lu Xi’s brow was pressed on his forearm, and the opposite arm coated his facet face and positioned across the again of his head.

Lengthy fingers and neatly trimmed nails with a  hoodie wrapped across the arch of the shoulder. He was so dazzling from his hair to the ideas of his toes. Xiang Yinglan sighed in her coronary heart.

She couldn’t consider what Luo You advised her within the subsequent dormitory: I heard Lu Xi say on the aisle that I believe Xiang Yinglan appears to be like good.

Xiang Yinglan had at all times been dissatisfied along with her large nostril and thick lips. Generally trying within the mirror and seeing the face for a very long time, she turned disgusted.

Within the class group, Xiang Yinglan belonged to the extrovert and lively one, and had many mates who may create bother. Nobody knew that she was really a little bit of low shallowness.

At the moment when Luo You mentioned that, Xiang Yinglan requested in an nonchalant tone: “That’s not true, proper?”

“No, I heard it with my very own ears from behind.” Luo You mentioned it with conviction.

In an try to seem unconcerned, Xiang Yinglan bent right down to type out the canvas footwear.

An unimaginable factor occurred to her, that was she obtained reward from an reverse intercourse of the identical age and the individual was as shiny as solar, maybe it wasn’t reward in any respect. A lot in order that it was like a bit of star sprinkled overhead.

Taking a look at Lu Xi she paused for some time, then requested: “Have you ever had breakfast? I’ll deliver you meatloaf bun and snow…”

“I don’t need something.” The impatience in Lu Xi’s reply turned apparent. “I wish to sleep.”

Xiang Yinglan was a bit of embarrassed. “Oh…”

Lu Xi definitely didn’t imply something extra to her than her classmates.

“Would you thoughts bringing it for me?” Lu Xi’s deskmate Pan De requested, “Inexperienced potato chips, Lays.”

“Oh good.” Xiang Yinglan put away the slight loss in her eyes. “One pack, large or small?”

Pan De held up his meal card. “Canned, thanks.”

Xiang Yinglan tilted her head and mentioned, “I’ll ask Lin Wenjing to purchase it for you later.”

Pan De’s face stiffened. “No, don’t.” He turned down the woman’s confession not way back.

“Simply kidding.” Xiang Yinglan pulled the cardboard.

The smile on her face slowly light after she left the classroom.

Lu Xi didn’t like her, however merely answered his mates’ questions.

Nevertheless, he mentioned that she seemed good, so she ought to…not look ugly.

…

The fourth interval was English, Wu Lan requested Zhou Sisi to learn a studying comprehension.

She simply completed the final query and sat down whereas the bell rang, signaling that class was over.

“Zhou Sisi did an amazing job. That’s it for immediately’s class.” Wu Lan organized the project for the homework and talked just a few issues concerning the class.

Yi Ting pressed down the English guide that had been propped up for half a category, and requested her deskmate, “Do you wish to go to the restroom?”

“Going to the canteen?” On the similar time, a gaggle of feminine classmates greeted Yi Ting.

“Not this time.” Yi Ting folded her fingers. “I’ll discover you subsequent time.”

“Let’s go, Sisi?” Yi Ting requested.

Zhou Sisi drank the chilly granules from her cup as she replied, “Yeah.”

Strolling out of the aisle, Zhou Sisi stepped on one thing.

A tip pencil, she squatted down to choose it up.

“Oh, my eyesight?” Yi Ting in entrance exclaimed in a low voice. “Is that a bit of college grass?”

Zhou Sisi put the pencil on the closest classmate’s desk and seemed out.

Within the hall, {the teenager} stood within the shiny sunshine, his brief curly hair was fluffy, his facet face brow, nostril, lips and jawline contoured completely, his hair and pores and skin had been glowing with youth.

The boy approached a feminine pupil in entrance of him and simply opened his mouth. As if he felt one thing, he turned to take a look at the classroom.

After he checked out Sisi.

Come out.

——Zhou Sisi learn Lu Xi’s lips.

What did he come to search out her for…

Zhou Sisi walked out the again door of the classroom.

“Give me your telephone.” Lu Xi, who strode ahead, went straight in.

“Cell phone?” Zhou Sisi’s eyelashes fluttered. “Mine?”

“Sure, give it to me.” He held out his hand, palm going through up.

Yi Ting, mouth vast opened, and the feminine classmate who needed to speak, checked out Lu Xi and Zhou Sisi one another.

Zhou Sisi nodded. “Yeah.” He roughly guessed her intention.

…Wonderful, as anticipated of an excellent pupil.

The transfers initiated yesterday can be returned over after 24 hours.

Lu Xi’s tongue touched his decrease internal tooth. “Keep in mind to take your telephone to substantiate the fee while you get house from college.” He once more gave her one other switch.

“You don’t need to…”

“Physics chemistry. You need to do what you mentioned.”

Zhou Sisi, who put ahead the situations, was dumbfounded.

“I’m going.” Lu Xi put one hand into his sweater pocket, ignoring the eyes of the encompassing onlookers as he went away.

Yi Ting who got here to her senses shortly rushed over and half hugged Zhou Sisi’s arm. “Go to the bathroom, go to the bathroom.”

“Used it”

When she received to a spot with fewer folks, Yi Ting stopped, “You really know little college grass!”

Zhou Sisi: “…”

“The tone of little college grass asking in your cell phone…Crap, you need to be very acquainted.” Yi Ting couldn’t conceal her pleasure. “How lengthy have you ever identified one another?”

Zhou Sisi hesitated for 2 seconds. “About fifteen years.” Based mostly on the time on this life.

“Fifteen years? Let me calculate, didn’t you already know one another since you weren’t in kindergarten?” Yi Ting: “That’s a bamboo horse.”

(***Bamboo horse — childhood sweetheart)

“Not childhood sweethearts.” Zhou Sisi suspected that she may not even be an extraordinary buddy in Lu Xi’s coronary heart.

On Thursday night, Lu Xi had dinner at Sisi’s home and tutored for an hour in physics as he promised.

When he received house,  the sunshine was lit in the classroom, which was closed.

Surprisingly, Ms. Xu Xuelin didn’t work extra time tonight?

With out a lot thought he placed on his slippers and went again to the room.

Placing down his schoolbag, he took out his cell phone, and with one hand, he scrolled via the 99+ information within the small group of mates.

After swiping the 2 sand sculpture emoji thrown by Huang Zhou, Lu Xi touched the keyboard and was about to remark.

“Lu Xi! Come out for me!” Xu Xuelin pushed open the half-closed door. “Utilizing your telephone all day lengthy, don’t you know the way to review!”

You actually don’t have a little bit of self-motivation in any respect!”

Ms. Xu Xuelin at all times spoke in such a harsh, loud and ruthless method.

There have been many issues that may very well be talked about usually, however she made a number of scenes filled with gunpowder.

Lu Xi’s mood was additionally not good, so he burst into matches of vary. “If I say I didn’t go, I didn’t go. Should you don’t consider me, ask Zhou Sisi!”
