Chapter 13: Further?
Early in the morning, Cheng Ran and Yu Xiao made an appointment to eat noodles outside, there is a raw pepper beef noodle under the ramp of a middle school is very famous, the two break through the morning fog and go out, even if it is May, the sun may be big during the day, but the temperature in the mountains and seas is still relatively cold in the morning and evening, in the slightly cold air, the two sat on the bench of the noodle restaurant in the dark and bright environment, Yu Xiao called noodles easily, "Boss, two bowls of raw pepper beef, more coriander!
Coke is still the kind of filling bottle, just a mouthful of spicy noodles, a mouthful of cola poured the spicy breath rising in his throat, Cheng Ran fiddled with the glass bottle, raised his head, and saw the patchwork of old-fashioned buildings on both sides separating the sky from a misty light.
Cheng Ran sighed that this is young, if it was changed to before rebirth, he was in a sub-healthy state all the year round, and it didn't take long for such a way to eat and have to have a stomach.
At this time, there were still relatively few people, and outside the noodle shop, I occasionally saw one or two students carrying bags from this road to the ramp of No. 1 Middle School, Yu Xiao raised his head and said, "There is something I must explain to you." Didn't you ask me to deal with the letter Lu Xiaolin gave you from No. 2 Middle School that day?"
Cheng Ran was stunned for a moment, ready to drag Yu Xiao to beat, "Shouldn't you have returned it to others?"
"No, no, no, how can this be!" Yu Xiao blocked with both hands, "I was going to retreat, but I was going to give Yang Xia to go." β
Cheng Ran: "...... What the situation. β
"Why do you think Lu Xiaolin and none of them have come recently? The letter was returned by Yang Xia, it is said that it was given to Lu Xiaolin in front of others, you don't know what the bystanders said at the time was called a wonderful, what did the queen say to see the queen, anyway, the rumors over there in the second middle school, Lu Xiaolin herself is also a very proud person, it is said that every year on her birthday, she receives gifts softly, has countless suitors, and has played a lot of friends generously, but there has never been negative news about her, every man who broke up with her regards her as a goddess, such a woman with good skills, she came to you, she was with an invincible mentality, but until Yang Xia returned your letter to herγ β
Cheng Ran frowned.
"You are so smart, if you think about it carefully, you will understand that a confident girl like Lu Xiaolin, your so-called refusal and avoidance are not lethal to her, with her previous experience of winning those boys, no matter how much you refuse, it is only based on not knowing her well enough, and she is confident that you will change your attitude. This kind of confidence is blind and stubborn but terrifying, I'm afraid that face to face, you can't refuse it. β
Cheng Ran looked at Yu Xiao, who looked like a life mentor, yes, I didn't find him with this kind of talent before.
"But Yang Xia is different, she returned it to her with the letter Lu Xiaolin wrote to you, as long as Lu Xiaolin sees Yang Xia who is not below her in all aspects, as long as she is smart enough, she will understand that it is difficult for her to win. So this is the reason why she hasn't appeared recently, your refusal is not enough to make her give up, only a person she thinks she can't win, can't grab it, in order to avoid losing face, she will take the initiative to retreat. β
"It's like martial arts. Cheng Ran smiled.
"It's not, you know that everyone has been rumored recently, and there is no difference between it and martial arts, who told you that even if you are chased backwards, it is so mighty. β
Recently, I've been concerned about my father's side of Fulong, but I don't care much about what happened at school, but I didn't see the girl from the second middle school reappear after that, and I think I'm afraid I will retreat because of the difficulty, but I didn't expect there to be such a stubble in private.
"Do you know what the key issue is?" Yu Xiao's voice came with some mystery and solemnity, "The question now is, Yang Xia actually came forward for you like this, what does it mean? It means that the hundred-year plan will be completed in one day, doesn't she know that she will be misunderstood for appearing for you, but she still did it, why ......?"
"You liked her before, she didn't say much, but it doesn't mean that there are no ripples in your heart, those are all subtly planted causes, and they all have trigger conditions, and Lu Xiaolin is that condition. You think, it's like a pig raised in your own house, how disdainful you usually are, and suddenly one day you want to take it away, then you realize that this is a baby bump. β
"Before I finish my Coke bottle, I'll rearrange your last sentence and repeat it. β
"Hey, the bottle glass, do you have something to say...... What I mean is that Yang Xia thought that there was just a stone beside him, but it turned out to be a lump of gold. Yu Xiao patted Cheng Ran's hand holding the bottle, and smiled with a smile, "In the past, Yao Beibei knew that you liked Yang Xia, and when I belittled you in front of Yang Xia, I always knew that if you want to say that among these children in the courtyard, which one day is really promising, I think it must be you." I can't say how it feels, that's it, I'm not slapping you on the back because of these twists and turns...... Even if you didn't get into a high school, I think you're not easy. β
Saying these words, catching a glimpse of Cheng Ran putting the bottle on the table, Yu Xiaocai breathed a sigh of relief and secretly praised his wit.
But after thinking about it, Yu Xiao took a sip of Coke, like drinking spirits, and said sincerely, "Actually, from childhood to adulthood, elementary school, middle school, and even in the courtyard, everyone knows that Yang Xia is a famous goddess...... To put it mildly, I've had a crush on her before, but it's only for a few months, just for a while. But you know her, and she's never been in love with anyone...... I was worried that her godbrother in Rongcheng might be involved, but now it's you. Think about it, how many people in our compound are looking at such a pearl, not to mention the peers we all know in the courtyard, that is, Zhao Pingchuan and their family used to frequently invite Yang Xia's family to dinner, and desperately cultivated their own Zhao Ziwei and Yang Xia's alone time, why do you think this? Another day, you have to listen to those chats of my father and my mother, and you will know how many families in the compound are aiming at Yang Xia as their future daughter-in-law!"
Cheng Ran couldn't cry or laugh.
Love mentor Yu Xiao continued, "Do you know, in my opinion, it's the last step now, girls or something, after all, they are thin-faced! But the people who love face so much, they all blocked Lu Xiaolin back for you, and before you reacted, you almost kicked the door! In my opinion, you almost pierced the last piece of paper!"
Looking at Yu Xiao's warm-hearted appearance, Cheng Ran's heart was also slightly warm, this is youth. Thinking about it, Yu Xiao was still in the era when he thought he had been pretending to be Yang Xia, but Cheng Ran didn't know how to explain to such an enthusiastic Yu Xiao.
The admiration of those distant young people has long been a matter of the previous life.
It's like yesterday's dream and the laughter of the distance. When we meet again, we never know how far each other has traveled.
Whether he is still smiling like a flower, and he still does not fade from his elegance.
In all fairness, he likes Yang Xia, Yang Xia is stubborn, excellent, has her own personality, and is his childhood playmate, and even the girl he liked when he first fell in love, all of which actually add up to make him feel cordial and good for Yang Xia.
But, such a like...... Can you go one step further?
