Chapter 16: Unexpected Encounters
Lu Zifei didn't know how he got back to class, but in the short journey, he seemed to repeat what had happened over and over again in his mind over and over again when he and Ji Yuxi met.
He sat on the seat, staring at the empty seat next to him, the girl's breath seemed to be still there, but for him, Ji Yuxi has always been like a faint fragrance of flowers in the air, he can smell it but can never catch it.
Lu Zifei's reaction was expected by Lin Ni, Lin Ni wanted to comfort him but didn't know what to do, only occasionally tilted her head to look at him, such a delicate face, which should have been embellished with a sunny and warm smile, now looked so gloomy.
"Lu Zifei!" As soon as class ended, Linnie came to his seat.
"What's wrong?" Lu Zifei raised his head slightly, barely squeezing out a smile, but this smile made Lin Ni even more distressed.
"It's okay, I heard that you used to study very well, then your foundation in the first year of high school must be good, I've always been a scumbag, why don't you help me with tutoring!" Linnie said.
"Tutoring? Do you think I can help you with your tuition? I forgot all the things I learned before when I returned them to the teacher. Lu Zifei politely refused.
"Anyway, no matter how bad it is, it's definitely better than me, my grades are among the best in the class, ah, countdown, countdown, countdown, you should help me, if my grades improve, please eat." Linnie has the strength to not give up until she reaches her goal.
"With such a tight schedule now, how can I have time?"
"Just say if you want to or not, haven't you heard, time is like a woman's career line, there will always be a squeeze!" Linnie said with a hippie smile.
"Why are you so embarrassed to talk about a girl!" Lu Zifei was amused by Lin Ni. Seeing that he finally smiled, Linnie's heart was also a lot happier.
"Haha, between buddies, how can there be so many words, okay, it's so decided, I'll arrange the time, eat and live!"
"What?" Lu Zifei was completely defeated by Lin Ni's brain circuit, and made a standard question mark face completely speechless.
On the weekend, Ji Yuxi got up early, since Zhong Han's forehead kiss stamped her, Ji Yuxi seems to have gradually become regular in life, Zhong Han will tell her to eat on time, sleep on time, and order a lot of fruits online every few days to be delivered directly to her home, in short, if Ji Yuxi was a "mixed" day in the previous year, then now she is finally "living" a life.
Zhong Han asked Ji Yuxi to go to the shopping mall where the two went for the first time, which is also the first formal date since the two confirmed their relationship, Ji Yuxi recalled the scene of the first time the two skipped class and went to the mall while changing clothes, and Zhong Han's appearance when she was sent home, she felt that maybe life gave her a little compensation, although no one could really soothe the pain of losing her parents, but I have to admit that Zhong Han's appearance warmed her in the cold.
Prepare everything, according to what Zhong Han has been instructing, Ji Yuxi checked the water and electricity switches at home, and then went out with a pale pink backpack on his back, and was holding his mobile phone to call a car first, as soon as he went out, he saw Zhong Han standing at the door of her yard, he muttered something while doing a small basketball dribbling action, and occasionally stopped to touch his chin to think.
Ji Yuxi stood in place and watched silently for a while, not wanting to interrupt him, although the sun was dazzling, but the boy in front of her was still shining, she stared at it, and unconsciously lost her mind.
"How are you?" Zhong Han saw Ji Yuxi staring at him.
"Well, okay, I don't want to bother you if you're so serious." Ji Yuxi came back to his senses and said.
"Seriously, I'm waiting for you to be bored, look back on the pace of new learning yesterday."
"That's serious, let's go." Ji Yuxi said as he closed the courtyard door.
The two chatted as they walked outside the community.
"To be honest, aren't you really scared at all when you live in such a big house?" Zhong Han asked.
"At first, I was a little scared, and I always felt like there were other people in the room I couldn't see, but after a long time, I got used to it." Ji Yuxi said.
"Don't you have anyone else in the house? The kind that can live together and take care of you. ”
"My grandparents have emigrated, my grandparents are out of town, and I don't want to leave here, so I choose to be here. Actually, there is a smaller house to live in, but I am used to it here, and ...... I always feel that this house still has the breath of my parents, and I feel very familiar. Ji Yuxi said a little sadly.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, I'm just a little worried, a girl's family, you are still so young, I feel a little uneasy to live in such a big house." Zhong Han realized that what he said reminded Ji Yuxi of something sad, and tried to change the topic.
"Yes, but it's nothing, you see, the community is very strictly managed, did you verify a lot of information when you came in?"
"Yes, that's not bad, all the people living here are rich, so they must be strict, do you usually remember the phone number of the security room?"
"Yes, I've memorized it all."
"That's good......"
Came to the mall, two people walked around casually, both are shoe control, so most of them are looking at all kinds of shoes, and came to the shoe store last time, and happened to receive the teller lady last time, she recognized these two old customers with super high looks at a glance.
"Here you go again, see, which pair do you want to try today? By the way, handsome guy, is the size of the shoes I bought for this little beauty still appropriate? The teller lady asked.
Being asked by her like this, Zhong Han was a little embarrassed.
"By the way, I want to ask you, when did you come to buy me those shoes?" Ji Yuxi was told by the teller that she remembered the sneakers that Zhong Han gave her on the basketball court last time.
"Ah, just by the way, I happened to pass by, so I bought it." Zhong Han said embarrassedly.
"Oh, little beauty, you are really lucky, you have such a considerate boyfriend, when he came to buy shoes, we let several of us try it, and while trying it out, I also took pictures with my mobile phone, and then zoomed in to the same size and compare the size of your photo, not to mention how careful." The teller lady said to herself, not noticing that Zhong Han's face next to her was already red like Guan Gong.
"That...... You're busy, we'll take a look for ourselves. Zhong Han saw that she couldn't finish talking, so she quickly found an excuse to send her away.
Ji Yuxi listened to the teller lady say this, and while showing a suddenly realized expression, she looked at Zhong Han with a wicked smile.
"What are you laughing at? If you don't tell me what size you are, I've wasted a lot of time. Zhong Han pretended to reproach and said.
"Zhonghan, hehe......" Ji Yuxi still looked at him with a wicked smile.
"What's wrong?"
"Treasure boy, that's what you're talking about!" Ji Yuxi patted him on the shoulder as he spoke.
"That's, steal the fun, you!" Zhong Han pretended to be at a loss and said.
The two wandered around for a while, came to Starbucks together, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw a familiar figure.
"Linny!" Ji Yuxi saw Lin Ni sitting alone by the window, and greeted her happily: "Why is it so coincidental, are you alone?" ”
Lin Ni was a little surprised to see Ji Yuxi and Zhong Han, but immediately showed a look like she had eaten a big melon.
"Yo~ you two? What's the situation, quickly recruit from the truth! Linnie got up and stood between the two of them, looking interrogating.
Ji Yuxi was a little embarrassed, but Zhong Han had always been calm, looked at Lin Ni and smiled.
"You can't sense anything because of your nerves, and you still ask us." Zhong Han said.
"Yohe~ Zhong Han, you can stand it, but you quietly made a girlfriend, does Huang Xuran know? He's out of love, isn't he? Lin Ni teased Zhonghan.
"Huang Xuran?" Ji Yuxi was a little confused.
"Don't listen to her nonsense." Zhong Han said.
"Ji Yuxi, you don't know, this guy has always been not interested in girls, but he lets Huang Xuran stick to him every day, I always thought he was gay!" Linnie quipped.
"You're gay! What nonsense! Zhong Han pulled Lin Ni's head and said.
"Hehe~" Ji Yuxi covered her mouth and snickered, Zhong Han looked at her expression, and also teased: "Are you still laughing?" Not jealous? ”
As soon as this sentence came out, Lin Ni and Ji Yuxi couldn't help laughing, and Zhong Han made a "shhhh
"Linnie, are you alone? Why don't you come out on my own? Ji Yuxi asked while sitting where Lin Ni was just sitting.
When she asked like this, Lin Ni remembered the actual purpose of her coming here today, she was a little embarrassed, but seeing that the appointed time was coming, she must not be able to hide it.
"Ah, I asked Lu Zifei to help me make up the class, about ten o'clock, he should be almost there." As soon as Lin Ni said this, the melon-eaters immediately became Zhong Han and Ji Yuxi.
"Lu Zifei? What about the two of you? Zhong Han asked.
Ji Yuxi also looked at Lin Ni a little surprised, and nodded at the same time to ask Zhong Han.
"Hey, I said Zhonghan, haven't you always cared about other people's affairs? Why is it so gossipy? Linny said.
"I'll just ask who is gossiping." Zhong Han said inadvertently, in fact, he was a little guilty in his heart, Lu Zifei had just confessed to Ji Yuxi and was rejected, Lin Ni was Zhong Han's rare friend of the opposite sex, he was worried that if something really happened to the two, Lu Zifei would use her to heal his emotional wounds.
While the three of them were chatting about this, Lu Zifei came, and when he saw that Zhong Han and Ji Yuxi were also there, his face sank instantly. He pulled a chair and sat down, turning his head to look at Linny.
"I'll just say that you have nothing to do with me to make up for you, it turns out that you are doing this kind of meaningless thing, you don't have to be a peacemaker, our business has nothing to do with you, don't worry about it." Lu Zifei obviously misunderstood, thinking that Zhong Han and Ji Yuxi were invited by Lin Ni together.
"No, no, you misunderstood, we just happened to meet." Linnie was busy explaining.
"It just so happens, hey, Linny, last time I played basketball, I asked you to help me go to the music classroom to find her." Lu Zifei pointed his finger at Ji Yuxi as he spoke, and then said: "You said that she went to dinner with other girls in other classes who practiced together, but it turned out that she was obviously with this guy, so it's not the first time you lied to me, huh?" Lu Zifei remembered the previous incident and talked about it together.
"That time it was ......" Lin Ni wanted to continue to explain, but was interrupted by Lu Zifei.
"Okay, don't talk about it, you guys talk first, I'll go first." Lu Zifei got up to leave.
Ji Yuxijian Lin Ni had a very aggrieved expression on her face, and she felt a little unhappy, she got up and grabbed Lu Zifei, who was leaving.
"Lu Zifei, wait a minute." Ji Yuxi said.
Lu Zifei looked down at Ji Yuxi's hand holding his left arm, with a contemptuous expression on his face, and gently knocked Ji Yuxi's hand off with his right hand.
"You pay attention to your behavior, don't make your boyfriend jealous!" Lu Zifei said.
Ji Yuxi's face flushed the moment she was angry by his words, she bit her lip hard, and looked at Lu Zifei, who seemed to have changed a person, with incredible eyes.
Seeing that Lu Zifei was speaking so unkindly, Zhong Han stood up abruptly and looked at him indifferently.
"Lu Zifei, be careful when you speak." Zhong Han said: "We just happened to meet, I just heard Lin Ni say that she asked you to tutor your homework, you figure things out, don't shoot indiscriminately." ”
Lu Zifei looked at Lin Ni, saw her aggrieved expression, and thought that he might indeed have misunderstood Lin Ni this time, but he was embarrassed to admit his misunderstanding in this situation.
"Okay, even if it's a coincidence, Linnie, it's too noisy here, if you really want to make up for your homework, go to my house!" Lu Zifei said.
"To your house?" Lynnie was a little suspicious of her ears.
"Yes, go to my house, it's okay, Ji Yuxi has been there before, it's nothing." Lu Zifei turned his head to Ji Yuxi as he spoke, "Right? Ji Yuxi? ”
Ji Yuxi didn't expect Lu Zifei to say such a thing, she did go to Lu Zifei's house before, and it was still a freshman in high school.
Zhong Han was also surprised, but he knew in his heart that Lu Zifei said this on purpose, so he didn't look anything out of the ordinary on the surface.
"Lu Zifei, why are you ......" Ji Yuxi wanted to say something but was interrupted by Lu Zifei.
"What's wrong with me, I'm telling the truth, let's go Linnie, if you still want to tutor." After Lu Zifei finished speaking, he left alone.
Lin Ni looked at Zhong Han and Ji Yuxi a little at a loss, she also knew in her heart that Lu Zifei was deliberately saying angry words, she thought about it, Lu Zifei must have felt very uncomfortable at this moment, so she decided to comfort him.
"Yuxi, I'd better go see him." Linnie said.
According to Ji Yuxi's understanding of Lu Zifei, although the way he spoke just now revealed some ill intentions, she believed that Lu Zifei was not a person who would do messy things, so she nodded to Lin Ni.
But Zhong Han was very worried, he was still a little worried about Lin Ni.
"Are you really going to his house?" Zhong Han asked, "Are you sure?" ”
Linnie looked at him and patted him on the shoulder with her hand.
"Don't worry, boy, my sister is not so stupid, I'll go see him, it's you, don't take advantage of my family!" Lin Ni said with a wicked smile, and then made a wink to Ji Yuxi and left.
Ji Yuxi felt a little sad in her heart, she knew that Lu Zifei's words and deeds just now were because of the blow she had to him, but she forgot, there was still a "vinegar king" sitting opposite him who was about to explode, Zhong Han was a little impatient by Lu Zifei's "I have been to their house" just now, and when she saw Lin Ni leaving, she kept staring at Ji Yuxi with a look of "recruited from the truth".
