When I woke up the next day, the sun was already shining.

I couldn't drink enough, and I slept very deeply last night.

Zhu Beini hugged the quilt, gentle to the touch, quiet in the room, and contented.

I fell asleep again in a daze. When I woke up again, I was finally very conscious. The probe looked down, and the grains slept on their backs. Looking at the lower bunk opposite, Zeng Mei had already gotten up and sat at the desk embroidering cross-stitch. He Meimei's bed tent has not been put up yet, probably not awake yet.

Tiptoe out of bed. Zeng Mei raised her head when she heard the sound and whispered softly, "Are you up?" It's almost 11 o'clock." I'm going to call you if you don't wake up again. Don't forget that at 12 o'clock you still have a date. ”

After a lot of fuss last night, I almost forgot about the noon date.

Hurriedly washed, changed clothes, and checked traffic. After the preparations were completed, I saw that the grains were still asleep, and He Meili did not make a sound.

"Or I'll go with you alone?" Zeng said.

"Good. Zhu Beini hesitated, and did not say that she had seen Chen Xiaoxi in the bar last night.

Take bus No. 89 to Xujiahui. After getting out of the car, Zhu Beini looked around and didn't find Chen Xiaoxi at all. After waiting for a while, it was past 12 o'clock, and no one came. Zeng Mei began to shake her head: "Stupid, people didn't come." It's a liar. ”

"There. Zhu Beini pointed with her hand.

On the overpass, Chen Xiaoxi was leaning on the railing to look down on them. Looking at him with a calm smile on his face, Zhu Beini couldn't help but wonder if he had seen them a long time ago.

Zeng Mei looked in the direction of Zhu Beini's finger: "Oh, I seem to have seen him somewhere." ”

Zhu Beini smiled, but she didn't say that he was the one who raised his glass to them in the bar last night.

Zhu Beini introduced Chen Xiaoxi and Zeng Mei respectively. Chen Xiaoxi was a little surprised that Zhu Beini actually brought someone with her, but the surprise only flashed, and she quickly accepted it quietly, and stretched out her hand very generously to show her favor. Zeng Meiquan couldn't see Chen Xiaoxi's outstretched hand, and only responded to Chen Xiaoxi's olive branch with a nod and "hello" - Zeng Mei has a habit of cleanliness. Chen Xiaoxi turned his head to Zhu Beini and said, "There is a good Western restaurant not far ahead. ”

Chen Xiaoxi led the way, and while talking to Zhu Beini, he did not snub Zeng Mei, who came with him. The three of them had a quiet lunch like an old friend. During the meal, Chen Xiaoxixin pointed to the English on the menu for Zhu Beini to read.

Zhu Beini read with confidence, and looked at Chen Xiaoxi fixedly after reading.

"Waiting for a compliment?" Chen Xiaoxi chuckled. "Nope. It's good enough not to scold you. ”

Zhu Beini pouted unconsciously: "Is it bad?"

"It's not just bad, it's terrible. Chen Xiaoxi did not shy away from it, looked at Zhu Beini and said directly. Zeng Mei on the side pretended not to hear it, but couldn't help coughing.

Zhu Beini reconfirmed incredulously: "Is it that bad?"

"It's up to who's listening. I heard it that badly. Chen Xiaoxi had no intention of backing down at all. There was a slight smile when he said this. It is not like trying to make things difficult, and he refuses to give steps. For a while, embarrassment and embarrassment flew together, and Zhu Beini held a fork and was stunned there. Chen Xiaoxi suddenly couldn't see Zhu Beini's embarrassment, and added carefully every word: "I was about to cry when I heard it." ”

"It's not good to pick the pronunciation, it's better to pick the pronunciation where it is convenient to listen to it. And then you find out: basically no past pronunciation to listen to. Chen Xiaoxi looked at Zhu Beini with no fear. The tone is serious, but there is a smile hidden on his face. Fortunately, an acquaintance Zeng Mei was there, otherwise Zhu Beini would have cried to him on the spot.

Zhu Beini put down her fork with a "snap": "Hmph." ”

"I'm sorry. Good advice can be hard to swallow. Today I pay for the meal. Seeing that Zhu Beini was faintly about to have a seizure, Chen Xiaoxi's words changed.

The Southeast Asian waiter approached, and Chen Xiaoxi told the other party to add some water, bring a menu, and say that he wanted to order dessert for the girls. Zhu Beini was struck by his fluent, full, clear, and beautiful English, and immediately became reverent and respectful.

"Master. Can I still be saved?" said Zhu Beini smiled sweetly.

"It depends on who teaches. If I teach, there should be salvation. ”

"Master. I'll pay for the meal. "Zhu Beni flattered.

"I've already paid for it. ”

"Then I'll pay for it next time. ”

"Good. ”

After the meal, it rained lightly in the sky, which was not suitable for walking. After eating, the three of them dispersed. Before Chen Xiaoxi left, he gentlemanly sent the two girls to the bus stop.

On the bus, Zhu Beini asked Zeng Mei: "Do you think he is a liar?"

Zeng Mei blinked her beautiful eyes, thought for a moment and said, "Liar is definitely not a liar." However, you have to be careful and ask him later if he is married. Don't get involved with a married man. Also, I'm worried, what are you going to do if he wants to pursue you?"

Zhu Beini laughed: "Zeng Mei." You're worried. I invited him to dinner and he helped me speak English. That's all, he and I won't have a spark of love. ”

Zeng Mei nodded: "I also think that the person you like should not be like him." I think you should like the simple, happy, and sunny kind of boy. ”

"Yes. Chen Xiaoxi is picky and teasing, not likable at all. Fortunately, he is handsome. After speaking, he felt that the point was off, and immediately corrected: "Fortunately, I speak English well." ”

"My boyfriend just messaged me that he had returned from a business trip. I won't accompany you back to the dormitory, and I'll get off the train when I get there. Zeng Mei glanced at the new news, and immediately her eyebrows danced. Accustomed to seeing her dignified, I looked at her joyful expression and felt extremely vivid.

"Well, Enjoy yourself!" Zhu Beini waved her hand, watching Zeng Mei run away for love.

When Zhu Beini arrived at the dormitory, she had already woken up, and she was annoyed that Zhu Beini didn't take her on a date. When I took the key and waited to open the door, I only heard the croaking of the cards inside the door.

"Why did I take you?" was what a beautiful voice.

"The day before I said yes, why do you regret it?" is the voice of the grain.

"I'm pleased. Who's in charge?"

"I didn't say anything about you. It's about big shells. ”

"With Dabei happy. Can't you?"

He Meili and Grain, who were talking about tongue twisters, were a little surprised when they suddenly saw Zhu Beini coming back alone. The grains were the first to pounce.

"Are you back? What about Sister Zeng Mei? Didn't she go with you? Is the person you want to meet a liar?"

"It's not a big head, but there are so many problems. He Meili pulled over the grains and stood in front of Zhu Beini: "Is it handsome?

"Come back and ask Zeng Mei. Zeng Mei went on a date with her boyfriend halfway. Zhu Beini avoided answering.

I really don't know how to answer. The taste of turnips and sticks, she tasted them all at lunch. This Chen Xiaoxi, there is nothing to say. It's just a person who unceremoniously helped her tutor her spoken English.

"Tell me, let's talk about it. She ran over and shook her arm again. Zhu Beini smiled helplessly: "Teacher Chen is a good teacher and has already started to assign me homework." I'm going to do my homework. ”

"Boring. He Meili immediately turned around when she heard this. Picked up a small backpack and threw down a sentence: "I'll go to the Internet café." "Turned around and walked away.

"What am I doing?" he rubbed his hands.

"Or come with me to the community library?"

"Good. Grains immediately agreed.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

"Grain, why don't you study after graduating from high school?" Once, Zhu Beini couldn't help but be curious and asked.

"Because I didn't get into the university I liked. ”

"What about the second choice?"

"What's the point of not being your favorite? Either all or nothing. Grains said, and there was no lack of anger in his tone.

"Will your mom and dad say yes?"

"What if you don't say yes?" said Grain. The tone changed from gambling to tsundere.

Zhu Beini smiled and said no more. Grains are very simple, and compared with other colleagues, they are obviously childish. Maybe it's a spoiled child who is used to talking to himself.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

Sunday night, the next day to work. The people in the dormitory are thriving again. I don't know who mentioned Zhu Beni's date. Everyone coaxed to ask for details, and saw that the parties and their companions reacted lightly. Everyone asked if there was a car, whether there was a house, and what the monthly salary was, but the parties and their companions said they didn't know. If you don't know anything about it, everyone's interest will fade.

Chen Xiaoxi's topic has since sunk to the bottom of the lake, and no one is interested in it anymore. Only Zhu Beini followed the teacher's instructions every day and wrote a small essay in English. I emailed him in the evening, and when I opened the mailbox during my lunch break at noon the next day, I was sure to see the revised draft that had been approved badly.

The following Saturday, Chen Xiaoxi said lightly that since he took Zhu Beini as a student, he quit his part-time job at the language school.

"No, I can't treat you to a meal for a week. Zhu Beini shouted on the spot.

Chen Xiaoxi comforted Zhu Beini: "Don't be nervous, I have a job." ”

"My old man is not scared. Zhu Beni pretended to be frightened and slapped her chest.

"I have two jobs. In addition to these two full-time jobs, there are also two part-time jobs. Chen Xiaoxi comforted with kind words.

"I'm relieved. You should have said it earlier. ”

Chen Xiaoxi smiled: "It's not too late to confess." My two main jobs are to make up for your spoken English and tutor my cousin's children, and my two part-time jobs are swimming and finding a girlfriend. ”

"Hmm!" said Zhu Beini, covering her mouth and screaming.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

After lunch, Zhu Beini returned to the dormitory with a solemn face. met Zeng Mei head-on.

"Zeng Mei, I'm thinking about not continuing to see Chen Xiaoxi in the future. ”

"Is he married?" asked Zeng Mei eagerly.

"It's not. ”

"He's chasing you?"

"Nope. ”

Zeng Mei was obviously relieved: "What's the matter?"

"He doesn't go to work. ”

"Looking for you to borrow money?" Zeng Mei, who had just relaxed, became nervous again.

Zhu Beini shook her head. Zeng Mei chuckled: "What is the reason?"

"I don't go to work. Don't you think it's strange that a person, a young man, a young man doesn't go to work?"

"I don't think so. My boyfriend's dream in life is to be a boss, not to work, and to let someone else help him make money. Speaking of her boyfriend, Zeng Mei is very gentle, bright and moving.

Zhu Beini was speechless.

After Zeng Mei dialed it a little, he thought about it: He doesn't go to work and doesn't need me to raise him, what am I anxious about! Whether he goes to work or not has something to do with me, what am I anxious about! After asking a lot, my mentality was really much calmer. The invisible pressure on his shoulders suddenly disappeared, and the person became lighter.

"Sister Dabei, do you still go to the community library on weekends?"

"Go. ”

"I'll go with you, okay?" Zhu Beini had no choice but to spoil and nod heavily at the grains.

"What book are you going to read?" Zeng Mei interjected.

"Whatever the book. Granules was a little embarrassed, flickering and glancing at Zeng Mei, her gaze quickly dodged. Zhu Beini, who saw everything in her eyes, didn't feel a little like laughing, and probably admitted that she was also shy and embarrassed to read romance novels.
