Chapter 40: The Exchange of Favors
At noon on Friday, Cheng Xu finished the last class of the week. He stretched lazily and unhurriedly packed up his laptop on the table and prepared to go back to the dormitory to play games.
At this time, the mobile phone he put in his schoolbag with a vibration mode suddenly vibrate. Cheng Xu picked up his phone and looked at the unfamiliar number displayed on the screen, Cheng Xu frowned and picked up the phone. "Hey, hello, Cheng Xu."
Most of these strange numbers are harassing calls, either asking you if you have a loan, or asking you if you can buy a house, and sometimes a scammer will tell you that your credit card has spent a huge amount of money in a foreign city. Cheng Xu felt that it was probably not worth the number that the liar said if he was sold. So I think it's funny. Because of the above experience of being deceived, Cheng Xu is always a little impatient when facing unfamiliar numbers!
"Cheng Xu, it's me!" A very bright voice came from the other end of the microphone.
Cheng Xu maintained the posture of holding the phone close to his ear for a full minute, and then asked uncertainly, "Chu is still?" ”
"I knew you could hear me." Chu still said and laughed.
"Is there something wrong with me?" Cheng Xu asked in some surprise, he and this Chu still had only met twice, why Chu still called in such a tone as if they had a deep friendship.
Chu still snapped his fingers from the microphone, "Bingo!" You guessed it, I have something to do with you! I'm waiting for you at the gate of your school now, come out and have a meal with me! Before Cheng Xu could reply, Chu still added: "Don't use having classes in the afternoon as an excuse, I know you don't have classes in the afternoon!" ”
Cheng Xu paused for a moment, and stubbornly put the sentence that was about to come to his mouth, "I'm sorry, I have class in the afternoon and can't eat with you." He swallowed it back and changed his words and said, "Okay, you wait for me, I'll go over now." Hanging up the phone, Cheng Xu shook her head, this little girl, the investigation is quite clear! It seems that he can't escape this catastrophe today!
As soon as Cheng Xu carried his schoolbag and walked out, Su Wenxuan behind him stopped him. "Cheng Xu, are you free in the afternoon? I would like to discuss with you the details of preparing for the final assignment. If our group doesn't start preparing, I'm afraid it won't be too late for the end of the semester! Why don't we have a meal together at noon and go to the café next to the school in the afternoon? ”
Cheng Xu said a little apologetically: "I'm sorry, Wen Xuan, I made an appointment at noon!" In this way, I will make an appointment with you the day after tomorrow. ”
"Okay, I'll wait for your call!" Su Wenxuan said and made a gesture of making a call!
Cheng Xu didn't make an appointment, and Su Wenxuan began to be a little entangled in what to eat at noon. I suddenly remembered that my roommate had been talking about wanting to eat the spicy pot opposite the school two weeks ago, so I simply asked my roommate to eat the spicy pot together.
Cheng Xu walked to the school gate and saw Chu still waving to him from a distance. Today, Chu is still dressed very normally, although his hair color is still exaggerated, but he is tied into a regular double ponytail, which reveals a bit of student spirit. Today, she didn't wear heavy makeup, but just applied a little powder on her delicate face! Seeing her from afar, Cheng Xu was slightly stunned for a moment, such Chu still really looked like Ye Wei'an.
"What's the matter with me?" Cheng Xu walked up to Chu Yi and asked straight to the point.
"Please eat! You helped me last time at the bar, and I owe you a favor, and I have to pay it back after all! This kind of thing is favor, which has always been the most difficult to return. I thought about it for a while, and decided that you probably didn't have anything to use me, so I had to invite you to dinner. Chu still said with his head down, and the smile on his lips flew wantonly.
"That's it?" Cheng Xu couldn't believe it, "Chu Yi, your home is not close to our school, you came all the way to invite me to dinner?" ”
"Or else? Do you think that after I was saved by your hero last time, I was grateful to you as a hero, and I sent it to confess to you? You're thinking too much! I'm just here to invite you to dinner today. ”
Cheng Xu stroked his forehead, I have to say that he couldn't keep up with this Chu still jumping thinking, and said with a dry laugh: "Don't worry, I never thought about it that way!" But I also said last time, I'm helping you for the sake of Wei'an's face, you don't have to worry so much! ”
"Of course, it has to be calculated. Although you have seen my sister's face, after all, the person you helped me and not my sister. Besides, my sister owes you more than two big baskets, and it would be inappropriate to count it on her head without her knowledge. Besides, you see that Bai Fengjiu owes Emperor Donghua a life-saving grace, and directly followed Jiuzhongtian, and followed the emperor day and night to find an opportunity to repay his kindness, I won't come to invite you to dinner, you don't have to be too moved! Chu still began to talk to himself again.
Cheng Xu felt that this Chu was still very interesting, and asked with a smile: "Okay!" If you repay my favor, I'll take it, what will I eat? ”
"I've thought about it a long time ago, eat this!" Chu still turned around, waved his big hand, and pointed to the spicy incense pot directly opposite.
Sitting down and ordering, Cheng Xu asked Chu Yi, "Chu Yiyi, can I ask you, where did you get my mobile phone number?" ”
"Do you need to ask?" Chu still spread his hands, and said with an expression that I dislike your IQ: "Of course I asked my sister!" ”
Cheng Xu held his forehead with a black line, "I said Chu Yi, last time you said that you didn't let me tell your sister about this, I am here to keep your mouth shut, and you have shaken it all out yourself?" ”
"How is that possible!" Chu still hurriedly waved his hand, "If I shake it out, won't I betray myself and you?" I just told my sister that my computer was broken and needed to be repaired. You're a computer science major, so you can pretty much help me. My sister gave me your phone! Well, I'm smart! Chu still said proudly.
"Clever, you're too smart!" Cheng Xu said the opposite, "I finally see what it means to lie and not play drafts!" ”
As soon as Su Wenxuan and her roommate walked into the spicy fragrant pot shop, they saw Cheng Xu and them. She recognized it almost immediately, and the person sitting opposite Cheng Xu at the moment was the little sister she saw in the bar last time, it seemed that her name was Chu Yi, Chu Xinran's sister!
Without saying a word, Su Wenxuan pulled her roommate to the other side of the screen and sat down. Their table was next to Cheng Xu's table, and she could hear what Cheng Xu said clearly. It's just that a screen in the middle is separated, and Cheng Xu can't see her. Su Wenxuan didn't know what kind of psychology she had in order to sit in this eavesdropping resort.
Halfway through the meal, Chu still suddenly said, "Cheng Xu, you can take me out to play in the afternoon!" You don't have a class anyway! She said and blinked her big eyes and looked at Cheng Xu expectantly.
"My eldest lady, aren't you going to school this big Friday?" Cheng Xu was a little helpless, he felt strange from just now, today is not a day off, how can Chu still be a high school student wandering on the street.
When it came to going to school, Chu was still like a wilted persimmon beaten by frost in an instant, and said sluggishly: "It's not a day or two since I skipped school, and the teacher doesn't care about me anymore, why do you care so much!" Anyway, will you take me to play? ”
"Busy!" Cheng Xu said helplessly.
"Busy with what? Isn't it early before the end of the term? Chu still looked at Cheng Xu with a flat mouth, and his face was writing, you lied to me again!
"Chu Yi, do you think our computer major is so easy to mix! It's not the end of the semester, at best, it's just that you don't have to be busy revising. Don't I have to write homework, I don't have to type code? Besides, I still have to check ......" Halfway through the words, Cheng Xu realized that he had lost his words, and swallowed the second half of the sentence back.
"What to look for? Tell me! The aura of this secret instantly attracted Chu Yi! She narrowed her eyes, leaned closer to Cheng Xu, and asked in a low voice. This kind of whispered words are the easiest to make people let their guard down and leak their mouths if they are not paying attention.
But Cheng Xu was not fooled, but said solemnly: "It has nothing to do with you." Your curiosity is good, but it's in the wrong place. It can also stimulate your curiosity when used for learning, and it's a pity to use it for gossip! ”
Chu still rolled his eyes, "Study, study, study!" Day by day, can you talk about something else! If you don't tell me anyway, I know. ”
"You know?" Cheng Xu asked rhetorically, "What do you know?" ”
"Aren't you just going to find out what happened ten years ago and help my sister recover her memory? Am I right? Chu still raised his chin and asked proudly.
Hearing that it was related to what happened ten years ago, Su Wenxuan suddenly pricked up her ears. I didn't hear Cheng Xu speak for a long time, Su Wenxuan knew that Chu still guessed correctly! After a while, Cheng Xu asked, "How do you know?" ”
"Obviously, okay! When I was chatting with my sister the other day, my sister also mentioned that she wanted to get back her old memories! As my sister's most loyal servant, you will definitely rush forward at this time! ”
"You know me well!" Cheng Xu chuckled lightly.
"Because you're a very good person!" Chu still put on a natural expression again, "But what, how many have you found?" Not much! Ten years ago, my uncle and Aunt Ye Lin were desperately covering it, how could it be so easy for you to find out! ”
"Do you know the inside story?" Cheng Xu heard that Chu still seemed to have something to say, and asked eagerly.
"You know! I knew it last time I overheard my parents! Chu still said with a smile.
"Tell me!" Cheng Xu said eagerly, almost taking out a notebook to record.
"Take me out and I'll tell you!" Chu was still smiling playfully.
"Didn't you say you owe me a favor? The time has come when I need you! Cheng Xu took a deep breath and tried to be as patient as possible.
"My meal is to repay your favor! Now you have a request for me, you owe me a favor, of course you have to meet my request and take me out! ”
"Okay, okay, I'll just go out with you!" Cheng Xu finally compromised.
Chu was still very happy, settled the account with the receipt, and pulled Cheng Xu out of the spicy fragrant pot shop.
Su Wenxuan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Cheng Xu leave! It turns out that Cheng Xu has been investigating the events of the year! Do you want to tell your cousin about this? Su Wenxuan thought for a long time, shook her head, forget it, let's take one step at a time! Don't be in a hurry to tell your cousin!
