Chapter Forty-Four: Indirect Kissing

As soon as Xiao Chen opened the door, he saw Xu Xiu reading a book on the sofa.

"So laid-back?" Xiao Chen teased as he closed the door.

"There was cake in the fridge." Xu Xiu said slowly, turning the next page with his fingers.

Hearing this, Xiao Chen casually put his schoolbag on the table in front of the sofa, strode to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and saw a teacup-sized cake placed there safely, with a spoon in a plastic bag.

It's still chocolate-flavored.

The corners of Xiao Chen's mouth rose slightly, then carefully took out the cake, tore the plastic bag of the spoon, threw it into the trash can on the side, and naturally sat next to Xu Xiu.

"What's the only one?" Xiao Chen scooped a spoonful of cake with a spoon and put it in his mouth, which melted in his mouth.

"I just bought one, and you still want to eat it?" Xu Xiu didn't look at him, his eyes were still on the book. ‘’

"You don't eat?" Xiao Chen said, then dug up a spoonful of cake and handed it to Xu Xiu, "Oh, taste it." ”

Xu Xiu tilted his head slightly, looked at Xiao Chen, and then glanced at the spoon in front of him. Xu Xiu hesitated. Xiao Chen pushed the spoon in front of her again.

Xu Xiu stretched her neck forward slightly, and then took a bite of the spoon, the mellow aroma of chocolate was overflowing, and it was indeed delicious.

Seeing that the fish had been hooked, Xiao Chen hooked his lips as if he were nothing.

"Is it delicious?" Xiao Chen asked, and then took a few more bites himself.

Xu Xiu nodded slightly, but then said: "Delicious food either makes people raise blood sugar or gain weight." ”

Healthy food is often not very tasty.

Xu Xiu didn't realize anything, just issued his own comments objectively.

Xiao Chen also wanted Xu Xiu to eat cake, Xu Xiu shook his head, and his attitude was very resolute.

"What are you looking at?" Xiao Chen diverted the topic and his eyes fell on the book in Xu Xiu's hand.

"The ordinary world, written by Lu Yao." Xu Xiu said.

"How did you think of looking at it?" Xiao Chen continued to ask, he wanted to extend the topic, he was expecting Xu Xiu to be able to say a bunch of reasons, such as this book is inspirational or something.

But Xu Xiu didn't.

She said, "I'm done. ”

A serious book, plain as water, without flaws.

Xiao Chen tugged at the corners of his mouth, no longer looked at Xu Xiu, but looked at his cake and sent it to his mouth one bite at a time.

Ha.

"Can you borrow me after reading the book?" Xiao Chen stopped and said.

"Hmm." Xu Xiu said lightly.

Xiao Chen wanted to talk about something more, but seeing the other party's attentive look, he stopped talking and concentrated on eating his cake.

It's so sweet.

……

Xu Xiujiang finished reading the last page, then put the book on the table, got up and stretched his body, then said goodnight, and walked to his room.

"Good night." Xiao Chen replied, then picked up the book "Ordinary World" and turned off the light in the living room, turning on the light on his mobile phone, and he would have his own room.

After a brief wash, Xiao Chen lay down on the bed, one leg slightly bent, the book against his knees, Xiao Chen was deeply attracted after reading thirty or forty pages.

Since then, Xiao Chen will hold the book to read every time he has free time, and feel unhappy when he sees that Hongmei is no longer good with Shaoping, and at the same time feels sorry for the end of the relationship between Shao'an and Runye, and is moved by the situation of Shaoping working alone.

Every time Xu Xiu saw Xiao Chen reading a book, and then looked at the book in his hand, he felt as if he had made up his mind, very solemn.

When Xiao Chen went to school, Xu Xiu went to the library to borrow a few books, such as Leo Tolstoy's "Resurrection", Lu Xun's "The True Story of Ah Q" and other famous books, these are also the books that Xu Xiu likes to read, of course, she never picks books to read, basically what to read, a few years later, Xu Xiu finished reading the library on the old street, as for City A, she has only read twenty or thirty books.

The huge amount of reading has prompted Xu Xiu to have a wide range of knowledge, and her writing has also been greatly improved, so that she can brush up on mathematics with peace of mind, after all, Chinese is a kind of accumulation, and she can't be in a hurry.

Thick accumulation can thin hair.

A few years ago, Xu Xiu also had a headache about language, what is the role of this sentence for the author's thoughts and feelings? Yunyun.

But now it's much better, the article is at your fingertips, and you can say three or two words in literary language.

Seeing the stack of large and small books on the table, Xiao Chen twitched the corners of his mouth, looked at Xu Xiu staring at him with a puzzled expression, and said, "This... What is it for? ”

"For you." Xu Xiu said very seriously.

"Give it to me?"

"Hmm." Xu Xiu nodded a few times, and then added: "I see that you have been reading that book recently, I think you should like to read books very much." ”

I thank you ha.

Xiao Chen picked up a stack of books, which was actually very reluctant, but his daughter-in-law's kindness was difficult to resist.

Can't live up to it.

"Thank you." After speaking, he took the book back to his room, almost at a rapid pace.

As soon as he got back to his room, he threw the book on the bed and closed the door.

Looking at the messy books on the bed, Xiao Chen was a little big, he never read much, but he can still get a score of 90% (most) in Chinese, and Xu Xiu's attitude of enthusiastically borrowing books should be to have a special impression of people who like to read, or pretend?

After glancing through the stacks of books, I suddenly saw that a post-it note was mostly blocked by the resurrection.

And when he took away the resurrection, he saw the word on it.

It reads: These books are very good, serious taste, and there is an opportunity to discuss them.

Looks like he's going to have to see it.

On Friday, Xiao Chen took back his mobile phone from the teacher and was about to go home, just stepped out of the school gate, and before he could see who it was, he was suddenly hugged by a person who was slightly shorter than him. Xiao Chen reflexively pushed the man away, and then patted his clothes.

"Lao Xiao, do you miss me?"

"Luo Yi." Xiao Chen said lightly.

Luo Yi still smiled, and did not flinch because of the other party's cold attitude.

Luo Yi is a man who looks thin and undressed, with very good facial features, not very outstanding, but it is very comfortable to look at, and his smile is also natural and hearty.

"What are you doing here?" Xiao Chen asked puzzled.

It stands to reason that Luo Yi should be studying in S City, why did he come here?

"It's the weekend, I'm looking for you to play. I've come all the way to you, you have to treat me well, and if you can't do it, you can only have two meals. ”

Thousands of miles away? Xiao Chen twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, as if he was smiling but not like.

It's the city next door, where did it come from.

"What? No, I can't. Luo Yi's tone was a little sad, and his eyes were pitiful.

"Okay. Go to my house. ”

After speaking, he walked with long legs, and Luo Yi followed closely behind.

When he saw the buildings along the road, Luo Yi asked, "What?" Moved? That's not the way to your house. ”

“。” Xiao Chen didn't speak.

Luo Yi is also accustomed to Xiao Chen's way of treating people, so he naturally acquiesced, that is, he moved.

"Do you know, after you turned around, the girls in our school could be said to wash their faces with tears every night." As he spoke, Luo Yi touched his hair.

"Don't go, talk too much." Xiao Chen stopped and said.

"Okay, okay, I'll not talk about it." Luo Yi hurriedly surrendered.
