32. Lost contact
When Lu Chao spoke, the two of them were already very close to Tian Tian's position, and they were separated by two tables, Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn't make any comments, so he had to turn his head and glare at him.
Lu Chao shrugged his shoulders and closed his mouth.
Cheng Xiaoxiao hasn't seen Li Zetian for a few days, after all, she has been together for a long time, and she also calls the other party Teacher Li, and now her identity has changed and she has become her best friend's boyfriend, to be honest, it is still a little embarrassing, she hesitated, but she didn't know how to call someone, so she smiled awkwardly and nodded.
Li Zetian was the same, he didn't have any special expression at all, he still looked cold, he just nodded at the two of them, handed the menu to Cheng Xiaoxiao, and motioned her to be casual, "What do you want to eat?"
A few people made an appointment with a chain of Hunan restaurants in the city, and it was improved into a sweet and spicy taste that people in S City liked, so it was very popular, and Cheng Xiaoxiao herself had come to eat many times, which was indeed more in line with her preferences.
Since Li Zetian asked her to order, she was not polite, and quickly ticked a few boxes, all of which were dishes that she and Tian Tian liked. Just as she was about to return the menu to Li Zetian, she felt that something was wrong again, and turned her head sideways and asked Lu Chao: "Do you eat spicy?" Is there anything you particularly like or can't eat?"
Lu Chao is from City B, and there must be a bit of a gap with their tastes.
Lu Chao glanced at her and shook his head, "I can do it all." He is not a picky eater, it doesn't matter what he eats, he was called a particularly easy child by Cheng's mother, and Cheng Xiaoxiao lived with him for more than a year and didn't notice it.
Cheng Xiaoxiao casually drew a few more dishes before returning the menu to Li Zetian.
Li Zetian glanced at it twice and added a few more.
Cheng Xiaoxiao: "......" Actually, she has already ordered almost four people, but anyway, people pay, and people have the final say.
Tian Tian was still looking at Li Zetian's face sideways with a expression, and after placing the order, there was no sound on the table all of a sudden, showing a subtle embarrassment.
Cheng Xiaoxiao suddenly missed Bai Liqing very much, at least his academic domineering aura can still chat with Li Zetian, and maybe talk about the witch head teacher in Class A or something, she and Tian Tian have not yet reached Li Zetian's level, especially her, she has not learned how to get rid of the identity of a student and get along with Li Zetian.
Lu Chao, he is too young, he is completely a rubber, and he can be ignored.
She gave Tian Tian a look and asked her to liven up the atmosphere and not be cold, but unfortunately Tian Tian didn't seem to accept her hint and completely ignored this situation.
Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn't help but kick her under the table.
Tian Tian was kicked by her "ah", and was about to complain after receiving Li Zetian's attention, when he suddenly saw Cheng Xiaoxiao's eyes, sobered up for a moment, and finally reacted, reaching out to hold Li Zetian's arm, "Xiaoxiao, I don't need to introduce it, my male god and boyfriend, Teacher Li." β
Li Zetian didn't speak, and he didn't object.
Cheng Xiaoxiao hesitated for a few seconds between the two titles of "Li Zetian" and "Teacher Li", but still chose the latter, "Teacher Li, haha, haha." β
Lu Chao laughed softly beside him, which embarrassed Cheng Xiaoxiao, who was smiling dryly.
In fact, her relationship with Li Zetian has always been very good, after all, the two have been together for a long time, and they can say something more superb, I didn't expect such a meeting to be so embarrassing.
Tian Tian seemed to feel her embarrassment, and hurriedly explained: "My boyfriend is not very good at talking, smiling, you can still treat him as Teacher Li, we are still the same as before, this master, I won't take advantage of you." β
"...... "She didn't plan to call ah, how old is she and Li Zetian? He Tian Tian is still the same age, and she is not afraid of cold when she calls her wife, "You really have this kind of thought?"
"Hahaha teasing you!"
Cheng Xiaoxiao was powerless to complain, and it happened that the first dish was also served, so she simply lowered her head to eat.
There was silence on the table for a while, and then Tian Tian talked about other topics, "What about your boyfriend?
Lu Chao turned his head to look at her, then looked away again, lowering his eyelids.
Speaking of this, Cheng Xiaoxiao was a little angry, and didn't notice Lu Chao's expression at all, "He went on a trip! He didn't tell me in advance!" She didn't think about Bai Liqing, she just felt that she was caught off guard by killing her with the title of her boyfriend, which made people feel very faceless.
ββ¦β¦ So unreliable?"
"It's usually very reliable, I don't know what the situation is this time. β
"Alas, it's okay, there is also Lu Chao's little brother, one can't be replaced by the other. Tian Tian threw a wink at her and said without concealment.
Cheng Xiaoxiao was very embarrassed, she brought this kind of intimate topic between girls to this kind of occasion, so she had to frown, "Don't talk nonsense!"
Tian Tian saw that she was angry and was about to explain, but Li Zetian interrupted the two of them at the right time, "Let's eat, didn't you say that you want to eat spicy food for a long time." β
Tian Tian was silent.
The meal was awkward and delicate, and the activities after that were not as Tian Tian thought, the four of them acted together, Cheng Xiaoxiao and Lu Chao went home first, and asked her to go on a date with Li Zetian.
Fortunately, this time Tian Tianxue was obedient and didn't say anything strange like "let Lu Chao pretend to be your boyfriend".
Cheng Xiaoxiao and Lu Chao went home in silence all the way, Cheng's father and Cheng's mother were still buying New Year's goods, and the aunt at home was also on vacation, and the two of them had nothing to do, so they went back to their rooms.
Wait until almost at night when her parents came back, when Cheng Xiaoxiao entered the door, Cheng Xiaoxiao just went downstairs to pour tea, Cheng's mother saw her, raised the envelope in her hand at her, and looked narrow, "Your letter, is it a love letter?"
Cheng Xiaoxiao was helpless to her relaxed parents, "Don't talk nonsense." As she spoke, she went up and took the envelope, looked at it twice, although it was not signed, but the handwriting that wrote the address was very familiar to her, and it was very similar to the words in the notebook that Bai Liqing had given her before.
She didn't understand what Bai Liqing was sending her a letter forβno one would use this kind of surface mail for anything now, could it be a postcard?
Cheng's mother next to her was still urging her to open it quickly, but she simply stopped looking at it and went back to the room with a water glass.
When he returned to the room, Cheng Xiaoxiao put down his things and began to open the letter.
Sure enough, it was written by Bai Liqing, and there were several postcards in it, she just glanced at it in a hurry, and then went to look at the letterhead.
Bai Liqing didn't write very long, but just roughly explained the recent events, Cheng Xiaoxiao finished reading it, and finally solved a little doubt in his heart.
Bai Liqing said in the letter that the two of them were in love and were discovered by his family, and their family did not allow him to fall in love in high school, and then he was very angry, and he was not allowed to contact her, took away his mobile phone and cut off his network, and took advantage of the Chinese New Year to go out to play and wanted them to cut off, but he didn't expect that the two of them got along with each other and it didn't matter if they didn't get in touch, they all knew that they were busy with each other's studies, so Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't find out about this situation after so long during the winter vacation.
The last time she called, Bai Liqing's mother saw it first, staring at the phone he answered, so it was inconvenient for him to say anything, and he didn't call her back after that, he still secretly wrote this letter while buying postcards, saying that he was going to follow his family to several places during the winter vacation, and he would definitely bring her gifts when he came back, so she should not be angry.
Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn't imagine that Bai Liqing's family had used such a tough method for this kind of thing, and there was such a thing as confiscating the mobile phone, which was unimaginable in her world.
Fortunately, the two of them are not ordinary couples, just send a few text messages I love you or something like anything if they have nothing to do, and they didn't poke Bai Liqing's sensitive nerves, and they could still let him answer the phone, otherwise it is estimated that he would not even be able to get through the phone.
Cheng Xiaoxiao expressed her understanding of his situation, and decided not to contact him before the start of school, and it was not too late to talk about anything when school started.
Soon turned over the New Year, Lu Chao went back this time and returned to S City a few days later, on the grounds that he wanted to prepare for the high school entrance examination.
Cheng Xiaoxiao was also very busy, Lao Li contacted her once not long ago, she thought that she was going to visit her home because she had chosen a subject or was not taking the exam to transfer classes, but she didn't expect Lao Li to ask for her WeChat and email address, and sent her a leaflet.
Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't know what to say, so she had to open it and study it carefully.
Lao Li sent her a publicity for high school students, it is a new concept of essay competition, not a new concept in the traditional sense, but gives a special definition - a new concept style between composition and microfiction, and strive to write new ideas and new reading experience, the organizer is Jinjiang Novel Literature City and F University, the first prize winner can be admitted with a fifteen points lower in the case of volunteering to apply for F University, and the top few also have different grades of reduced scores.
At the same time, the website will also give these award-winning students a certain amount of bonuses, and if they are willing to post on the website, they will also give priority to the best recommendation position, which seems to be a sincere competition.
Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't know why, it happened that Lao Li added her WeChat friend, and before she could ask, the other party directly gave an explanation.
"We don't have any liberal arts students in class B, I also asked your Chinese teacher, most of the students in the class are writing test-taking essays, only your composition is more highlighted, and you also have your own ideas, so I want to recommend you to participate in the competition, the contestants recommended by the famous schools in the city can directly participate in the re-examination without the initial examination, a total of two places, do you have anything else to recommend? I know that everyone must be yearning for B University, but F University is also the best among the liberal arts colleges in the country, not much worse than B University, and if you have the opportunity to win the college entrance examination, the pressure will be much less. β
Cheng Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded, she didn't expect the teacher to speak so highly of her, at first she thought it was just for her to make up the quota, but she didn't expect to go with the purpose of letting her win the award.
But after thinking about it for a while, she kind of wanted to refuse.
The propaganda is written that the re-examination will hand in a 3000-word micro-novel, and the competition will be written on the spot after entering, which means that this competition must have several rounds of competition, she has a semester before her senior year of high school, and the re-examination will start in May, and she can't afford to delay the time after that.
It's not worth it to give so much and receive a limited amount in return.
Lao Li probably saw that she didn't reply, and continued to send her a large string of words.
"Don't underestimate Jinjiang, most of the novels that some girls in the class like to read now are from this website, if you win the award and give you the best recommendation, at this time you will also have the college entrance examination over, maybe you can develop on the road of writers! Don't waste your aura!"
Cheng Xiaoxiao thought to herself, what about the aura, is she cultivating immortals?
"I heard that you usually like to write things, so let's think of it as writing three essays, remember to hand them over to your Chinese teacher before April 1st, and now you can start to conceive, don't forget! β
ββ¦β¦ Good. Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't know where he heard about it, so he reluctantly took out the notebook he usually wrote in his diary, wanting to see if he could polish it and hand it in.
After that, the winter vacation was a little unpeaceful, and she had to be busy making up classes, writing homework, and completing this additional task.
Three thousand words, to be honest, it's not much, but to hand over a special text, it needs inspiration, the right time, place and people, it's useless to think desperately, you can only wait for a flash of inspiration, in order to prevent this kind of inspiration from coming at the wrong time, Cheng Xiaoxiao even went to make up the class with a small notebook.
When school started, she didn't know who the other chosen child was.
"Cheng Xiaoxiao, have you finished writing that new concept novel?" Gao Fangli's seat became very close to her again, but this time it was a little behind her, and it seemed that history was worse than her, so she fell.
Cheng Xiaoxiao was still wondering if everyone knew about the difficulty of this matter, Gao Fangli revealed the mystery by herself, "I have written several articles, show them to the teacher, the teacher feels that it is a little ungood, the level is there, but it is still a little difficult to shine in front of you, and I have not grasped the essence of this competition, even if it is difficult to win the award after the rematch." β
"The other spot is you......" Cheng Xiaoxiao smiled at her, "I haven't finished writing yet." β
Gao Fangli frowned, "Don't be so stingy, I didn't say I wanted to see it, isn't it okay to share my experience?"
Cheng Xiaoxiao was helpless, "But I really haven't finished writing it yet." She was embarrassed to say that she hadn't even thought about the theme, and if she couldn't get something when the time came, she could only expand and change the diary she had written before.
Of course, she is not easy to say these words, and saying them will only provoke people-especially the cynicism of people like Gao Fangli.
Even so, what she said now made Gao Fangli feel that she was really cautious, so she didn't say anything more, and returned to her position with disdain on her face.
Cheng Xiaoxiao really wants to say, not everyone cares about this competition as much as you! Her goal is still B big! The goal is not set to be a little bigger, how can there be the motivation to struggle in the future?
On the first day of class, Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't wait for Bai Liqing to come to her, she felt a little incredible, so she took advantage of the lunch break to go to class A and asked the boys in the back row.
The boys in class A are all having a good time, and they have a good relationship with Bai Liqing, and they also know that Cheng Xiaoxiao is in love with him, so they replied to her with a smile: "Our Xiaobai hasn't come back yet, and we've been missing all winter vacation, but as soon as I started class today, the witch said that his parents asked him for leave, and he didn't come to participate in the make-up class in the past few days before the start of school, and he will come back when the school officially starts." Why, didn't he contact you either? Could it be that Bubble Sister went?"
Cheng Xiaoxiao knew that he didn't mean anything, just joking, so he also laughed, "Maybe it's really huh! It seems that I'm going to dump him when he comes back!"
"Sister-in-law, don't do it, Xiaobai won't kill me when the time comes!
ββ¦β¦ Oh. β
Cheng Xiaoxiao Although they have started school, Lu Chao has not yet started school, so Uncle Xu came to pick her up alone at night, as soon as she sat up, Uncle Xu smiled and gossiped to her, "Miss, the little master of Lu Chao seems to be in love, after I sent him out today, when I left, I saw a little girl coming together with him, and then I held his hand!"
Cheng Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, "Why did he go out?"
"Isn't it that the head teacher organized a make-up class today, it seems that they rented a classroom outside to make up together. β
Cheng Xiaoxiao listened, and while complaining that this head teacher would really make money, he remembered Uncle Xu's description and became a little worried.
After all, Lu Chao was strangely possessive to her not long ago, but this confusion period was a little shorter, and she thought that Lu Chao would at least enter high school to understand, but she didn't expect it to be only a few days.
But Cheng Xiaoxiao is not worried about this, "Lu Chao won't become a scumbag who lingers in the flowers, right......?"
Uncle Xu glanced at her, probably thinking she was joking, "How is it possible, he is only so big." β
What's impossible, he's only so old, he already knows how to kiss a little girl, this is something that a normal junior high school student can do?
Cheng Xiaoxiao was so sad that she couldn't do it, what went wrong?
