022. Routines, they're all routines!
"Pretty much that's it. β
Walking on the road, Lu Chen suddenly exhaled, and then directly withdrew his arm from Xia Zhu's arms.
Seeing this, Xia Zhu was stunned for a moment, and a trace of loneliness quietly flashed in his eyes.
"I'm sorry, I wanted to thank you, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this. β
"Alas, do you think the two of us don't get along?" Lu Chen sighed helplessly.
Since I met this woman, this has caused more things than I have encountered in the past ten years.
Sure enough, you can't have too much to do with these presents, otherwise the troubles are really endless.
Thinking of this, he sighed softly and said, "Obviously, you can successfully get out according to my method, why do you choose to pretend to be a lover?"
"Because it was the most reasonable solution at the time. In doing so, we can avoid conflict and get out of it in time. β
Speaking of this, Xia Zhu hesitated for a moment, and then asked timidly, "...... Don't you think that's bad?"
"Nonsense, you're ruining my reputation for innocence!"
"Whatββ!"
Xia Zhu was a little confused, what was he talking about?
Obviously, he is the one whose reputation is most affected, why does this seem to be the one who has suffered a big loss?
You have to know how many boys dream of being a lover with her, even if the relationship is fake.
Why is this Lu Chen ...... Only......
Thinking of this, Xia Zhu felt very aggrieved inexplicably, and then his nose was sour, and his voice was followed by a little crying: "You, how can you bully me like this!"
With that, she sat down on the side of the flower bed and began to sob.
β...... Hey, why are you crying?" Lu Chen obviously didn't expect her reaction to be so intense, so he had to soften his tone.
"Obviously I, I didn't say much, you, what do you mind as a big boy!"
Xia Zhu's tone was sobbing, in addition to feeling that Lu Chen's words were excessive, she also had an inexplicable sadness in her heart.
Seeing that she was crying more and more fiercely, Lu Chen sighed lightly and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be cheap, don't cry." β
Other situations are easy to solve, but he is not very good at dealing with girls crying.
And Lu Xiaowei grasped this point, every time the brother and sister quarreled, if she fell into a disadvantage, she would start crying, making trouble and hanging herself, which was tried and tested.
Looking at Xia Zhu's trembling shoulders due to sobbing, Lu Chen was silent for a while, and after thinking about it, he took out a clean tissue from his pocket and handed it to her, but the latter glanced at it but didn't answer.
Seeing this, Lu Chen didn't say anything, but directly took a tissue and pasted it on her face.
"What are you doing!!"
"Wipe the tears of the girl who was sad because of me. β
"You! who are sad for you, shameless!"
Xia Zhu glared at him angrily, then took the tissue and wiped it himself.
Seeing that the situation had eased a bit, Lu Chen chuckled, he sat down by the flower bed, looked at the street opposite, and said, "Then do you plan to lie to them like this at school in the future? Aren't they your friends?"
Hearing this, Xia Zhu's body trembled slightly, and then the sound of sobbing gradually became smaller.
After being silent for a long time, she tried to suppress her sobbing throat and said, "Actually, my relationship with them is not very good. β
"Uh, aren't you classmates?"
"It's true that we're classmates, but we're not good friends. β
Xia Zhu paused for a moment, and then said: "I told you before that I often have rehearsals and other activities, so I often take time off to leave school, so I don't have much opportunity to communicate with them. β
Hearing this, Lu Chen raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that the two of them were the same kind of people in a sense.
Classmates are not equal friends, and sometimes they are even opposing enemies.
For this, Lu Chen, who is at the bottom of the class, can't understand it too well.
"So the relationship can only be said to be acquaintance, not even a good friend. Xia Zhu wiped the tears on his cheeks, and his voice gradually stabilized.
Seeing this, Lu Chen nodded slightly, in fact, he had more or less expected this.
Because those people chose to be art students for the sake of utilitarian nature, the vain words and deeds and Xia Zhu's unearthly temperament are simply worlds apart.
This is not a level of people at all, and naturally they can't be mixed together.
Thinking of this, he asked jokingly, "Then am I your good friend?"
"No, how can there be a 'good friend' like you who always makes me cry!"
Xia Zhu still had a little tear on her long eyelashes, and she wiped the corners of her eyes, her tone was shy and angry.
In this regard, Lu Chen smiled secretly in his heart: It's okay, I'll cry more in the future.
But he said, "Oh, then I'm honored." β
Hearing this, Xia Zhu almost laughed angrily, she smashed Lu Chen's arm with her small fist and said, "You obviously look quite serious, but how can you talk like this, just like that?"
"Hehe, there's so much you don't know. β
Lu Chen chuckled, after all, although he looked light on the surface, he had more thoughts in his mind than anyone else.
It's just that he yearns for a peaceful and stable daily life, so he doesn't like to get involved in disputes.
Thinking of this, he suddenly squinted at Xia Zhu on the side, not knowing what he was looking at.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the subway station. β
......
......
Bidding farewell to Xia Zhu, Lu Chen walked on the side of the street, silently thinking about everything that happened today.
The summer evening breeze is warm and gently laps on the face, with a moist feeling that is unique to the south.
"I have to say that this girl really has the talent to be an actress. β
recalled that when she was in the restaurant before, she could play a "couple" who was in love with her without changing her face to deceive those street men and women.
Lu Chen felt that this girl was a bit powerful, and as for what she said was to help him, he didn't fully believe it.
In his opinion, the reason why Xia Zhu used that method was indeed to help him out of the siege on the surface, which could avoid unnecessary interpersonal conflicts.
But in fact, she was also looking for a reasonable excuse for herself to get out of that scene.
In addition, the most important thing is that she has successfully transferred the contradictions she may face in the future onto herself through this "performance".
In layman's terms, in the eyes of others, Lu Chen and Xia Zhu are a couple, Xia Zhu is already "famous" at this time, and she can reduce a lot of unnecessary harassment in the third year of high school.
On the other hand, the suitor's attention (hatred) is rightfully diverted, and the person who has to face this series of troubles and harassment afterwards has actually become Lu Chen.
Routines, they're all routines!
"I didn't expect you to be an old man. β
Lu Chen was secretly speechless, estimating that Qiu Hang's gang was already eyeing him at this time.
Help me, will it hurt me?
Presumably, it will only take a day or two for this to spread to the whole class, and it will not take a week for it to spread to the whole school.
Gossip news is always the easiest to arouse people's curiosity, especially the gossip of a campus goddess like Xia Zhu.
But this is simply a disaster for Lu Chen, who pursues an ordinary life.
However, Lu Chen is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he walked silently on the way home, but his heart was quietly rippling.
Xia Zhu, you may not be stupid, it is estimated that most boys are also happy to be this shield for you......
Thinking of this, Lu Chen's steps suddenly slowed down, and he slowly raised his head-
"But unfortunately, the person you met was me. β
Under the dim street lamp, a pair of cold and ruthless eyes gradually reflected.
