Chapter 6: Wood Nerds
"Xiaoxi, why did you go home so late today?" As soon as Ning Chaoxi stepped into the house, Ning's father rushed out of the kitchen, looking anxious.
Ning Chaoxi bent down to change her shoes at the entrance, she took out her slippers and put them on the ground: "Well, I'm ...... today." I was called to the office by the teacher after school, and I was delayed for a while. ”
Father Ning let out a sigh before he unloaded: "I thought something was wrong, if you don't come back, Dad will go to your school to look for you." ”
"It's okay Dad, I'll just come back a little late, and I won't get lost." Ning Chaoxi touched his nose and said.
She looked around the living room and said, "Dad, where is my mother, haven't you come back yet?" ”
"No, she has a meeting in the department today, she has to work overtime, she won't come back so soon, call us so we don't have to wait for her to eat." Father Ning said and returned to the kitchen.
"Oh." Ning Chaoxi returned to her bedroom to put her schoolbag, and after closing the door, she took out the painting that Chen Xun gave her from her schoolbag.
She touched the kitten in the frame, and a smile rolled into her eyebrows, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.
Ning Chaoxi stretched out the bracket of the photo frame, placed it on the table, and turned on the table lamp, and the orange light instantly shrouded the kitten's body, looking quiet and warm.
As she looked at it, Chen Xun's figure came to mind, remembering his posture of leaning on the bench to paint, his lowered eyebrows when cutting paper, and the warm touch when his slender fingers clasped his wrists...... Thinking like this, Ning Chaoxi felt that his heartbeat was a little uncontrollable.
She quickly took out today's homework from her school bag and forced herself to divert her attention.
At the dinner table, Ning Chaoxi helped Ning's father go to the kitchen to serve a bowl of rice, and after sitting in his place, he stirred the soup in the bowl with a spoon, pondered for a while, and said, "Dad." ”
"Well, what's wrong?" Father Ning glanced at her and stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the vegetables.
"Can you help me buy a mobile phone, it's the most common kind, it can only be used to make calls and send messages, you see like I'm going to school every day, if there is something at school and I want to go home late, I can also send a message in advance to notify you." Ning Chaoxi observed Father Ning's expression as he spoke, "It's like I'm coming back late today, if I have a mobile phone, I can send a message to tell you that the teacher asked me to go to the office and will go home late, so you don't have to worry because you can't contact me." ”
"Well, what you said makes sense, Dad will buy you one tomorrow." As long as it is not an unreasonable request, Ning's father is on his daughter's side.
"Then if mom doesn't agree......"
"What's this, you're just using it to contact us, not to play, I see your mother, some questions are overly worried, don't pay attention to her, she wants to ask you and say that I agreed to buy a mobile phone, let her come to me and say it."
"Thank you, Dad!" Ning Chaoxi said with a smile.
"Hey, no thanks, no thanks." Father Ning scooped a spoonful of pork ribs and put it in her bowl, "Eat more, Xiaoxi, now is the time for you to grow your body in a special period, eat some meat." ”
"Dad, don't just clip it to me, you can eat it too."
When school was out of school the next afternoon, Ning Chaoxi was still sitting in her position pondering the topic of the essay, until Feng Lulu came up and patted her on the shoulder: "Hey chick, what do you look at so fascinating?" She leaned over to look at the white paper she had placed on the table and muttered, "Essay contest...... Teacher Bai asked you to participate? ”
Ning Chaoxi nodded: "Hmm." ”
Feng Lulu glanced at the award and touched her arm: "Yo, there are five hundred yuan for the first prize, a lot of rewards, Niu'er, we are counting on you to win this bonus." ”
"It's not that easy." Ning Chaoxi smiled helplessly.
"Isn't it a piece of cake for you, uh-huh, when you get the bonus, you know how to do it."
"Okay, when the time comes, I'll take the money and invite you to eat skewers." Ning Chaoxi waved his small hand and said arrogantly.
"Where's Jiang Ke?" Ning Chaoxi got up from his position to pack his schoolbag, glanced back, and found that Jiang Ke's position was no longer there.
Feng Lulu took a bite of the apple in her hand, chewed it in her mouth, and said in a vague tone: "I don't know, I won't be seen after class, I guess something is wrong." ”
"Where did you get the apple?" Ning Chaoxi watched her eat sweetly, and smashed her mouth.
"I brought it from home, do you want it, there are many more in my dormitory, I've been leaving it for a long time, and if I don't eat it, it's going to rot."
“…… No, thanks. ”
Feng Lulu finished eating the apple, threw the pit into the trash, wiped her hands with a tissue, and said to her: "Day and night, why do you say that there are so few boys studying liberal arts, you look at our class, there are less than a dozen, one or two are shy to death, and they can't play with girls, alas, I still miss our previous class, not only are men and women equal, but there are also many handsome guys." ”
"The last sentence is the point you want to make." Ning Chaoxi smiled and demolished her.
"Cut, hate, don't demolish people." Feng Lulu pouted, "Think about it, in the past, when we raised the flag and did morning exercises in our class, the boys led by the class leader stood in a row, which was called a pleasing to the eye, and you look at it now, standing in a row, it was called a spicy eye." ”
Ning Chaoxi was amused by her words, and laughed out loud: "Don't be like this, you will be a classmate in the future anyway, you will be too faceless to say this." ”
"Anyway, they can't hear it, what are they afraid of." Feng Lulu didn't care, walked out of the teaching building, her eyes turned around, suddenly stopped in front of a tree, her eyes lit up all of a sudden, she reached out and grabbed Ning Chaoxi, who was about to walk forward, and said excitedly: "Chaoxi, Chaoxi, look, there is a handsome guy over there!" ”
"What handsome guy?" Ning Chaoxi followed her line of sight.
The evening in mid-September is still long, the sky in the distance is only paved with a faint layer of orange and red, the light of twilight pours on this campus, and also shrouds the thin boy not far away, Chen Xun stood under the tree, his calm gaze swept over the faces of the students who came out of the teaching building, I don't know what he was looking for, the cool breeze stirred the school uniform on his body, he stood there, like a straight stake.
Ning Chaoxi smiled, and his eyes seemed to ignite the spark of twilight: "It's really handsome." ”
When the words fell, she saw Chen Xun's gaze coming over.
"A little curious about which class the handsome guy is in? Shall we go up and have a conversation? Feng Lulu said.
"Class 1 of the second year of high school, Chen Xun." Ning Chaoxi said.
Hearing this, Feng Lulu's eyes widened in surprise: "You god, Ning Chaoxi, how do you know?" As she spoke, she thought of something, and suddenly said, "Oh, I know, is it the same table you met in the wrong classroom on the day of school, that handsome guy who has no comparison!" ”
"Alright, you go back to the dormitory, I'll go up and say hello."
Feng Lulu heard that she was going up to say hello, and said excitedly: "Take me, I'll go say hello too." ”
"People don't know you." Ning Chaoxi pushed her, "Next time I have a chance to introduce you." ”
"Ning Chaoxi, let me tell you, you are forgetting your friends!" Feng Lulu snorted twice.
Ning Chaoxi crossed his hands on his hips, raised his chin, and generously admitted: "That's it, how about it?" ”
Feng Lulu: "......"
Seeing Feng Lulu walking in the direction of the dormitory, Ning Chaoxi turned around and ran towards Chen Xun, ran to a position two or three steps away from him and stopped, and greeted him: "Hey, Chen Xun, what are you doing standing here?" ”
Chen Xun looked at her smiling eyes, walked out from under the tree, did not answer her question, and spit out the word lightly with his thin lips: "Let's go." ”
After speaking, he took the lead in turning around and walking in the direction of the school gate.
Ning Chaoxi's head was stunned for a while, and it took a while to react, and he hurriedly followed: "Chen Xun, were you waiting for me just now?" ”
She staggered forward a few steps and turned around, facing him, walking backwards with her steps, the smile on her face could not be hidden, and her eyebrows were full of flowers.
Chen Xun found that she had a problem, that is, she couldn't walk peacefully, like a child, watching her walk like this, he subconsciously wanted to reach out to pull her, but after thinking about it, his hand still didn't stretch out, he frowned slightly, and reminded her: "Walk well." ”
"Oh." Ning Chaoxi puffed out his cheeks, turned around and followed him honestly, didn't take a few steps, and turned his head to look at him: "Chen Xun, you haven't answered my question yet." ”
"Didn't you say you wanted to go back together?" Chen Xun asked her rhetorically.
"I was just saying it casually." And he didn't agree on the spot, so Ning Chaoxi didn't take it to heart.
Chen Xun pursed the corners of his lips and glanced at her, Ning Chaoxi happened to meet his dark pupils, somehow, being looked at by him like this, he suddenly felt a little weak.
She quietly looked away and whispered, "Then have you waited a long time?" ”
"Soon."
"That's good."
While waiting for the traffic light at the intersection, Ning Chaoxi remembered that he had told Ning's father yesterday that he would buy her a mobile phone, and when he crossed the street, he said to the people around him: "Chen Xun, is it convenient for you to give me your mobile phone number?" ”
"Yes." Chen Xun answered, and after crossing the road, he stood in a place with few people and took out his mobile phone and asked her, "Your number." ”
Ning Chaoxi said: "Just tell me your number, I don't have a mobile phone yet, so I asked my father to buy it yesterday." ”
Chen Xun paused, put the phone back, took out a pen from his schoolbag, Ning Chaoxi watched his movements, and hurriedly said, "I have paper here." ”
Chen Xun took the notebook she handed over and wrote a string of numbers on it, Ning Chaoxi put the notebook away and told him, "I'll tell you my number when I go back." ”
"Hmm."
Ning's father moved very quickly, after Ning Chaoxi returned home, he told her that the mobile phone had been bought, and by the way, he helped her change a mobile phone card, and there were fifty minutes of free calls and two hundred and forty free text messages every month, but there was no traffic, and she couldn't access the Internet.
It doesn't matter if you can't access the Internet, Ning Chaoxi is already very satisfied with being able to call and send text messages, while Ning's mother hasn't gotten off work yet, she picked up her new mobile phone and slipped into the room, put the card into the mobile phone, and stored Chen Xun's number in the contact person as soon as she turned it on.
She sent him a text message: "Chen Xun, I'm Ning Chaoxi, this is my mobile phone number." ”
It didn't take long for him to reply, "Hmm." ”
Ning Chaoxi thought about it and sent it to him: "I'll send you a message after school tomorrow, and you can wait for me at the school gate." ”
Chen Xun replied: "Yes." ”
Ning Chaoxi looked at the words on the screen and pursed his lips, feeling that it was a waste to give a text message to Chen Xun like this.
She typed on the keyboard: "Chen Xun, can you not reply." ’”
This time, it took about ten minutes for Chen Xun to reply to her, and when she heard the message prompt, Ning Chaoxi immediately grabbed the mobile phone on the desktop, and saw him reply to her with a word: "Okay." ”
Ning Chaoxi stared at the word 'good', and suddenly smiled.
Chen Xun, you wooden nerd.
