Chapter 88: Thoroughfare
The next morning, Zhang Yuxin came to the guest house early, when she handed over a passbook with 65,000 yuan to Wu Shengjie, Wu Shengjie's face unconsciously showed embarrassment, Zhang Yuxin saw the expression on Wu Shengjie's face, put on an adult look, and said to Wu Shengjie with a smile: "Why didn't my aunt see you embarrassed when I collected money last time, okay!" You don't have to twist and pinch in front of your aunt, you can collect the money, but Auntie hopes that you won't spend money recklessly just because you have money. ”
"Aunt Zhang! In fact, I don't usually have the habit of spending money indiscriminately, if I didn't have a few studies to do, I wouldn't get into the money hole like I am now, so don't tell my mother about this money? Otherwise, she might have confiscated me all. For Wu Shengjie, there are indeed a lot of places where he needs to use money at present, but in order to make Zhang Yuxin accept his explanation, he had to find a white lie to explain his behavior of spending money like water.
Zhang Yuxin didn't know that Wu Shengjie was deceiving her, but when she was suspicious of Wu Shengjie making money from Lin Xiaoxia, she also associated Wu Shengjie's purpose of making money in this direction, after all, she was one of the few people who knew that Wu Shengjie had researched body pills and beauty pills, and no matter what research was going on, it would take a lot of money, so when she heard Wu Shengjie's request, she replied with a smile: "Shengjie!" Although my aunt is not a scientific researcher, she has more or less been in contact with some scientific researchers, and she also understands how much bitterness is hidden behind a successful invention, so you can rest assured about this! If I had to tell your mom, I wouldn't have given you the money in the first place. ”
Wu Shengjie was embarrassed when he heard Zhang Yuxin's words, and thanked Zhang Yuxin with a weak heart: "Aunt Zhang! Thank you for your understanding. ”
"Understanding is understanding! But now there is a problem that you need to solve, yesterday after I took the body pill from where you went back, the result was known by Xiuxiu, at that time she asked me if you came to Yanjing, but in order to cooperate with you to give her a surprise, I told her that your father brought it to Yanjing, but Xiuxiu didn't believe it, so do you think I should tell her or continue to help you hide it? ”
Since Wu Shengjie returned to Hancheng, her daughter has become preoccupied, for which Zhang Yuxin has talked to her daughter a few times, but the effect is not obvious, so although she has no opinion on Wu Shengjie to surprise her daughter, she doesn't want her daughter to be sullen all the time until the start of school, so she said these words to Wu Shengjie.
"Aunt Zhang! Actually, you don't need to hide Xiuxiu at all, I just want to surprise her after she goes to school, which doesn't have much conflict with whether I have come to Yanjing now. Wu Shengjie is actually very conflicted about his current relationship with Jiang Xiuxiu, and even intends to avoid this problem, so when he heard Zhang Yuxin's words, he replied with a smile.
"You stinky boy, now you have become a person inside and outside, Xiuxiu is now reading in the library, anyway, you are fine today, just go to the library to find her! That's right! Where is your mother? I'm going to talk to her about letting you study at the High School Affiliated to the National People's Congress. Zhang Yuxin didn't expect Wu Shengjie to answer her like this, but Wu Shengjie's natural mentality made her very happy, so she told Wu Shengjie about Jiang Xiuxiu's reading in the library.
When Wu Shengjie heard Zhang Yuxin's inquiry, he replied with a smile: "Aunt Zhang! My mom is going to the new house, and if you're going to see her now, I'll take you to her. ”
"Your mother came to Yanjing from Hancheng for the first time, and now let her take care of the decoration of the new home alone, I think she must be in the dark with both hands, I don't know where to start, I don't have anything to do today, I can just help her with advice, go, now you take me over first, and then you go to the library to find Xiuxiu."
Wu Shengjie took Zhang Yuxin's car, took Zhang Yuxin to his new home, and then took a bus to the Yenching Library.
The National Library was completed in 1987, covering an area of 7.24 hectares, with a construction area of 140,000 square meters. The main building adopts the form of double eaves, peacock blue glazed tile roof, pale cream gray tile exterior wall, granite base stone steps, and white marble railings, 19 floors of above-ground stacks, 3 floors of underground stacks, with a construction area of 60,000 square meters and a designed book collection capacity of 20 million volumes.
From the 5th floor above ground to the 1st floor underground, there are various functional units of the library, with 46 reading rooms with different characteristics, including 23 open-shelf reading rooms, if he wanted to find Jiang Xiuxiu in the past, he would probably have to go through all the reading rooms, but through the contact between him and Jiang Xiuxiu during this time, he more or less knew what books Jiang Xiuxiu liked to read, so at this time he was not like a headless fly scurrying around, and went directly to the north branch of the library to find Jiang Xiuxiu.
In the bustling Yanjing Library, it is the quietest place in the entire Yanjing City, even so quiet that you can hear the sound of even a needle thrown on the ground, in order not to disturb others to read, when Wu Shengjie walked into the reading room, he subconsciously lightened his pace and began to look for Jiang Xiuxiu's figure everywhere.
Soon Wu Shengjie saw Jiang Xiuxiu buried in front of the book in a corner position, and then his face unconsciously showed a playful expression, went to the bookshelf and took a book he liked to read, and then sat down in the opposite position from Jiang Xiuxiu.
When Wu Shengjie sat down opposite Jiang Xiuxiu, Jiang Xiuxiu, who was reading the book, obviously felt that this was a library, a public place, and she had no right to ask the other party not to sit opposite her, so at this time, she only frowned slightly, and then shifted her attention to the book.
Time passed minute by minute, and two hours later, Jiang Xiuxiu finished reading the book in her hand, closed the book, stood up from the table, and was about to leave the library to go home. How are you? When did you come? ”
Jiang Xiuxiu shouted here, only to find that the people around her were casting dissatisfied glances at her, and after realizing that she was out of shape, a wisp of red quickly floated onto Jiang Xiuxiu's crystal face, and the rapid and flustered heartbeat, and the restless fluttering eyelashes all exposed the tension in the girl's heart, and she hurriedly sat down at the table again, and complained to Wu Shengjie in a low voice: "Bad guy!" It made me ugly. ”
Wu Shengjie heard Jiang Xiuxiu's complaint, made a silent gesture with a gesture, then pointed to the people around him, and then gestured to Jiang Xiuxiu to go outside to speak, and then picked up the book in his hand and stood up from the front of his seat.
Wu Shengjie's appearance undoubtedly made Jiang Xiuxiu very happy, the declining expression that had shrouded her face for several days completely disappeared at this moment, she saw Wu Shengjie's gesture, nodded with a smile, and then put the books back on the bookshelf with Wu Shengjie, and walked out of the reading room together.
Jiang Xiuxiu doesn't know when she started to remember Wu Shengjie in particular, every time she thinks of Wu Shengjie, she will always keep telling herself that the relationship between herself and Wu Shengjie is completely pure classmates and friends, but every time the result is unmistakably told her that it was just her self-deceptive thoughts, because she has hopelessly liked Wu Shengjie, especially in the past half a month, when Wu Shengjie is not by her side, she will always think of Wu Shengjie's goodness from time to time, Wu Shengjie's laughter, Wu Shengjie's words and deeds, At this moment, she realized that she was in love.
After realizing this problem, she panicked, in the past when she saw her classmates have a tendency to fall in love, she undoubtedly despised them very much, but at this moment she felt that many things were not under her control, so she didn't even sleep well for several days, as soon as she closed her eyes, this question immediately appeared in her mind, until her mother talked to her a few times, and the knot in her heart was truly untied.
As soon as Jiang Xiuxiu walked out of the reading room, she immediately stopped in front of Wu Shengjie and asked Wu Shengjie with a dissatisfied face: "Shengjie! Yesterday when my mom came home with the body pills, I was surprised, when I asked her if you were here, she actually told me that it was not, I didn't expect you, a bad guy, to lie to me with my mom. ”
Wu Shengjie heard Jiang Xiuxiu's words and replied with a smile: "Xiuxiu! You have wronged Aunt Zhang, when she saw me yesterday, she said that she wanted to tell you the news that I came to Yanjing, but in order to surprise you, I asked her not to tell you right away. ”
Jiang Xiuxiu heard Wu Shengjie say that she wanted to surprise her, a sweet heartbeat smile appeared on her pretty face, the jade was delicate and delicate like a blooming peach blossom, and the beautiful and vivid big eyes burst out with a bright and wise light.
Then he looked up like a small face that could be broken by blowing a bullet, and his beautiful big eyes stared at Wu Shengjie's face, exuding a trace of lingering affection, pursed his beautifully shaped small mouth, and asked softly: "I don't accept this surprise of yours, in order to punish you for deliberately concealing your coming to Yanjing, I will definitely punish you for shopping with me today." ”
Hearing that Wu Shengjie's head was shopping and immediately became one head and two big, he hurriedly asked Jiang Xiuxiu with palpitations: "Xiuxiu!" I'm going to discuss something with you, I don't know if I can change the punishment, why don't I treat you to dinner! You say what you want to eat, and I'll buy you whatever today. ”
Jiang Xiuxiu saw that Wu Shengjie was unwilling to go shopping with her, her beautiful big eyes opened, she glared at Wu Shengjie, pouted her pink lips, and said in a resolute tone: "No!" Miss Ben wants you to go shopping with me today, but I tell you that I am willing to let you go shopping with me, that is to give you a lot of face, in other people, they want to beg me to give them a chance but can't ask for it, so you have to know how to be content, besides, I heard that my mother took more than 60 body pills last night, and today you have to be prepared for heavy bleeding. ”
