Chapter 013: Let's Go Home Together
It's 7:11 now, Cheng Enyou is wandering around the school gate alone, the time is still very early, there are few people at the school gate, but the people from the discipline inspection committee at the gate are standing straight, looking at the school sign on each student's chest with straight eyes. It's just a broken brand, and if others had the intention to mix in Xinyi, they would have used other means, and this measure is really meaningless. He had already walked around the area five times, and the howling dogs at the door began to pay attention to him.
"What's the matter, it's half past seven and hasn't come yet, is it earlier than me?" Cheng Enyou looked at her watch anxiously, if that guy didn't show up again, he could go in, so he didn't care whether she lived or died.
A familiar figure appeared in the crowd, the man with his head down, a pair of white headphones stuffed in his ears, and was walking towards the school gate in a hurry.
"Xia Xiangxi!"
The man didn't respond.
"Heyβ"
The man still didn't respond.
Cheng Enyou simply stuck it over and ripped off the headset in the man's left ear, "What are you listening to early in the morning?" β
Xia Xiangxi stopped, her eyes widened, she looked at the person who suddenly appeared next to her, her expression was as indescribable as if she had seen a zombie.
"You're so boring, you get an MP4 and you're actually listening to English."
Xia Xiangxi's hands were still in his jacket pockets, and he didn't mean to take the headphones back at all.
"What, scared silly by me?"
"You, why are you here?"
"I'm waiting for you, why are you so late, aren't you afraid of being late?"
"Wait for me?" Xia Xiangxi took a step back, this person didn't know what idea he was playing.
"Here, your school badge was dropped in the classroom yesterday when I was in a physics cram class."
Xia Xiangxi looked at the things in his hand, his mouth pursed, and he held back the sentence for a long time: "Thank you." Were you also in cram school that day? β
"I'll sit behind you, but you won't see me from a distance."
"Oh."
"Let's go to school, I'm going to be late."
Xia Xiangxi let out another poor 'oh', she followed Cheng Enyou's side, sweeping the gauze tied on his right hand from time to time.
"Well, how's your hand?"
"It's okay, it's not crippled."
"Yinuo didn't mean to play tricks on you that day, and that mouse was not hung by her in the first place, and Yinuo was also bored when he entered the hole before he did the rest of the thing, we really didn't expect things to turn out like this."
"Xiao Nuo is so rushing like a firecracker, how did you get so close to her?"
"We met when we were in elementary school for composition cram school."
"Cram school?"
"Well, although Yinuo has a bit of a quick temper, he is a very caring and righteous friend."
Cheng Enyou looked at the teaching building that was getting closer and closer, and suddenly asked, "Then do you think I am angry?" β
"Of course."
"So, we can be friends?"
Xia Xiangxi stopped walking, looked up at the man with a look of surprise.
"If you don't want to, forget it, I'll just talk about it."
"No, no, no, I do." Xia Xiangxi hurriedly replied, this was the first time someone had asked her this since she was in junior high school.
Everyone in the class felt that Xia Xiangxi was a little withdrawn, he didn't talk much in front of people, and he was sullen when he asked her something, so in the past three years, Xia Xiangxi had only Shen Ruobing's friend in class 10, and that person was his longest companion at the table in the second year of junior high school, and he happened to be a person who didn't talk much. Xiao Nuo has always told Xia Xiangxi that she has social phobia, and Xia Xiangxi herself thinks that even if she really has, there is nothing wrong with it, she likes to be alone, she only needs to deal with herself, there is no pressure, no burden, no hypocrisy and deception.
"If there is anything in the future, even if you come to Class 17 to find me, if I am not there, you can find Meng Zeyu."
"Okay."
After a short answer, the two parted ways, Class 10 classroom was on the second floor, and Class 17 was on the third floor, Xia Xiangxi looked at the figure of the person who quickly disappeared around the corner, and felt that everything was a little ridiculous.
Since that day, she has not been to Class 17, nor has she told anyone what happened that morning, Xia Xiangxi only regarded these as a good-natured joke, and forgot about the day that passed. But when she came to the physics classroom to tutor again, as soon as she put down the book, she saw Cheng Enyou sitting next to her. The man wore a black cap and chewed mint-flavored gum in his mouth, and he was half-slumped on the table, tilting his head to look at her.
Cheng Enyou put down the textbook and asked, "Is there anyone here?" β
"No, no one."
Cheng Enyou, who reacted to her shrinking all over, didn't expect it, "Xia Xiangxi, I'm not a lion or tiger, can I still eat you if you get closer?" β
Xia Xiangxi didn't speak, just sat honestly on the side, in fact, she hadn't talked to boys since she was a child, so it wasn't that she was afraid of this person, but that she hadn't figured out how to communicate with this person. Thinking of this, Xia Xiangxi was a little nervous, and her whole body was unnaturally tense, so she had to open the book at this time and pretend to be reviewing.
"You're so full of notes? So serious in class? β
"Well, I don't have a good memory, so I can only copy a little more."
"Then do you want to study in Xinyi in high school?"
"yes."
"Why? Do you also think Xinyi is the best school in Qingjing City? β
Xia Xiangxi shook his head, "I'm just used to being here." β
After the teacher came in, they stopped talking, Xia Xiangxi listened to the class very seriously, really looked at the teacher with a focused face without squinting, and it didn't take long for her textbook to be full of dense notes. Cheng Enyou felt bored alone, so he had to listen to the teacher talk about the class, this time it was about mechanics, which was very understandable to him, and Cheng Enyou finished the exercises left as soon as the class was over.
"Xia Xiangxi, where is your house?"
"On Sports Road."
"My house is on College Road, so we can take a short break."
"College Road is almost close to the university town, why don't you take the car?"
Cheng Enyou thrust his hand into his jeans, "The bus is so crowded, I don't want to go up, by the way, you MP4 lend me a look." β
βPM4οΌβ
"Well, speaking of which, you don't really have only listening exercises in it, do you?"
"No, no, no, there's a song in it." Xia Xiangxi took it out, but he was a little hesitant when he handed it over, "However, you shouldn't like to hear it." β
Cheng Enyou took it and flipped through it, and it was really not what their 97 and 98 children liked to hear.
"There are so many old songs, do you still listen to Jay Chou?"
"Yes, yes."
Cheng Enyou smiled, "I thought that few of us knew about him, but my brother also likes to listen to his songs, and I listened to him a lot when I came and went." β
"Really?"
"That's right, this song "Happiness Says", my brother must order it every time he goes to KTV, and he sings quite well." Saying that, Cheng Enyou picked up the headphones and stuffed them into his ears, and walked a few steps only to find that the person next to him was at a loss.
"Yes, I forgot about you, this MP4 is still yours."
"It's okay, it's okay, you listen."
"Let's listen to it then." Cheng Enyou took off the right earphone and put it on for the man.
"Don't don't, I really don't need to!"
The man's face turned red, and this flustered appearance made Cheng Enyou even more amused her, "Xia Xiangxi, it's just the same pair of headphones, why are you so scared?" Are you afraid that Luo Huilan will see it and get involved with me again and be implicated? β
"I ...... That was not what I meant. β
"And what do you mean?"
Xia Xiangxi looked up at him and said a little embarrassed: "The cable of my headphones is already short, but you are at this height, and now you have to listen to one with me, this posture really makes me very inconvenient and makes me very awkward." β
Cheng Enyou noticed the huge height difference between the two, this pair of headphones was pulled away one by one, and the white coil had been straightened, if it weren't for Xia Xiangxi standing on tiptoe and trying his best to maintain it, the one on his left ear would have been torn off by her a long time ago. By the way, this person is nearly 20 centimeters shorter than himself, and the distance between his head and his head really can't wear the same pair of headphones.
