The two stood at the foot of the steps of the side door of the cafeteria, facing the service center, and there was an endless stream of students coming and going, looking at them one after another.

The boys are handsome and the girls are beautiful, and it is really pleasing to the eye to stand together, who doesn't want to take a few more looks. After Shen Li finished saying that, the atmosphere was silent for a few seconds, and Jiang Huaining was slightly surprised, as if she didn't understand how she could connect the two.

"My second place has nothing to do with Lu Zhu." He said.

"Didn't you?" Shen Li looked at him, not wanting to seem too concerned, but the emotions in her heart were really difficult to suppress, layer by layer, in addition to jealousy, there were countless sourness,

"I heard Shen Huan say that you will take time to make up lessons for Lu Zhu every week. You were distracted, so you didn't do well in the exam, but Lu Zhu did very well. Jiang Huaining selectively heard a useful piece of information: "Lu Zhu did well in the exam?" Shen Li wanted to pretend not to see the joy flashing on his face, and said calmly: "She took the first place in the class, Shen Huan told me." When Jiang Huaining heard this, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and he felt honored, and he no longer concealed the pleasure from his heart, and curled the corners of his lips.

It was in vain that he spent so much effort to tutor her, and the result did not disappoint him. Lu Zhu should be happier than him.

Shen Li's heart felt like a blunt knife had been slashed, and a clear pain struck, and she couldn't help frowning, making it difficult to breathe.

She was worried about his regressive studies, but he only cared about Lu Zhu's success in the exam.

"Everyone is talking about your test results this time, I just heard it, and I'm a little worried, so I don't mean anything else to ask you." Shen Li suppressed the unwillingness in his heart and squeezed out a slightly stiff smile.

Jiang Huaining said: "Studying is my own business, and other people's discussions are just idle and boring, which can neither help me improve my scores, nor can I be held back, so it has no effect on me." ”

"That's good." Shen Li couldn't even squeeze out a smile. At the service center opposite, Shen Huan and Li Yuanchao each bought two bottles of drinks, and they also held crispy ice cream in their hands, and entered the summer ahead of schedule.

Behind the two boys are Lu Zhu and Wang Lu. The two of them had lunch at the service center at noon, and after eating, they went to the small supermarket inside to buy some daily necessities, and happened to meet Shen Huan and Li Yuanchao.

Li Yuanchao was in a good mood and invited the two girls to eat ice cream. The temperature did not reach thirty degrees, Lu Zhu took a bite of ice cream, his facial features were wrinkled together, he squinted his eyes into the distance, and his eyes unexpectedly fell on the two people under the steps of the cafeteria.

Jiang Huaining and Shen Li didn't know what they were talking about, the boy's lips hooked slightly, and he smiled softly, which happened to meet her eyes.

Lu Zhu's facial features stretched, his lips slightly parted, and he looked at them worriedly. When the four of them came closer, Jiang Huaining realized that he turned his head to take a look, his eyes froze, and he stopped on Lu Zhu's face for a long time, and raised his eyebrows lightly: "I heard that you did well in the exam this time?" Well, I was right yesterday. "He said yesterday that he thought she would do well this time.

Sure enough. The ice cream in Lu Zhu's mouth melted, the two lips were still cold, and he sipped slightly, and the temperature warmed up: "You already know?" ”

"Hmm." Lu Zhu secretly said that it was a pity, he originally wanted to wait for the afternoon after school to come to Class 8 to find her and tell him in person.

But she forgot that Jiang Huaining would eat with Shen Huan at noon, Shen Huan's big mouth, he couldn't hide any news, and he didn't want to block his mouth when he ate.

When she was thinking about it, Jiang Huaining looked down and saw the watch on her wrist, and the smile between her eyebrows suddenly became thicker.

She was wearing a watch he had given her. Very beautiful and low-key rose gold, the strap is also metal, woven from many small parts, with a soft luster, encircling her thin white wrist, more like an ornament.

Lu Zhu noticed where Jiang Huaining's gaze fell, and was slightly embarrassed, so he casually pulled down the cuffs of the school uniform that reached his forearm.

But Jiang Huaining has already seen it. Therefore, witnessing her disguised actions can only be funny. The others walked and chatted, drank drinks and ate ice cream, and no one noticed the sparks from the collision of the two people's eyes.

Only Shen Li, since Lu Zhu appeared, she couldn't control herself from looking at her, and naturally captured her small movements.

The watch of that brand, the basic public model also costs tens of thousands of yuan, and the four-leaf clover edge on the dial worn by Lu Zhu is inlaid with broken diamonds, if it is confirmed that it is genuine, the price will only be more expensive.

With her understanding of Lu Zhu, it was impossible for her to buy such an expensive watch. Before this, she had never seen Lu Zhu wear this watch, and today was the first time she had seen it.

She is a boarding student, how can she buy it, it can only be given by others. As for who it is, there seems to be only one answer - Jiang Huaining sent her.

Lu Zhu had her birthday yesterday, Shen Huan went to her birthday party, and Jiang Huaining also went. A series of associations were strung together, and it was not difficult for Shen Li to think that many days ago, Jiang Huaining asked Shen Huan what kind of gift was better for a girl and for whom.

The midday sun was so strong that it made people's minds dizzy, and Shen Li was stimulated by his own speculation, and his face turned pale almost instantly.

There's something in my heart that's crumbling. ——After school in the afternoon, after waiting for less than five minutes, Jiang Huaining came down from the fourth floor and entered the eighth class with familiarity.

It is not a secret that Jiang Xiaocao tutored Lu Zhu in his homework, and many students in Class 8 have met him, even more than once.

But the two of them were studying, and sometimes the discussion was quite intense, and everyone was not blind, and in their eyes, of course, there was nothing to put their beaks in.

Jiang Huaining came over this time, brought new study materials to Lu Zhu, put them aside, and asked her first what questions she didn't understand that she had accumulated in the past few days.

Lu Zhu didn't have the heart to listen to him today, so he didn't open the wrong question book with his hand, and asked him hesitantly: "I heard them say, you took the second place in the exam this time?" Jiang Huaining was slightly stunned.

Since the results of the monthly exam came out, there have been countless people who have asked him this question, including eating at noon, Shen Li has also asked the same question, and he has acted very indifferent.

But when Lu Zhu asked, his mood was different, and he cared about her thoughts very much.

"Well, what do you want to say?" He asked patiently. Lu Zhu thought of those ugly words, felt angry for him, and at the same time felt ashamed of himself.

She said in a difficult voice, "Why don't we tutor?" In the future, if I have a question that I don't understand, I will ask other students in the class, or go to the teacher, I feel that it is too troublesome for you. Jiang Huaining realized the seriousness of the problem: "Do you think that my failure to take the first place in the exam was caused by your tutoring?" ”

"Also? Who else thinks so? "Lu Zhu is very good at grasping the key points.

"It doesn't matter." Jiang Huaining told her very seriously,

"Listen, Lu Zhu, I'm two points worse than the first place because I fell asleep during the English test." Lu Zhu: "......" Jiang Huaining said: "At noon on the day of the English test, two classmates in the class quarreled in the back, and I didn't take a lunch break. I wrote my homework until 3 o'clock in the morning the night before, and I was so sleepy during the exam that I took a nap. Do you understand? Lu Zhu's mouth closed one by one, and she automatically replied: "Understood......" She knew Jiang Huaining's habits, and she would sleep for half an hour at noon every day, get up and wash her face, and she was in good spirits all afternoon.

No matter how much homework he does, his habit has not changed. Jiang Huaining took out the wrong question book from under her hand and took this opportunity to say to her: "Lu Zhu, work hard, and strive to enter the Osai class in the third year of high school." "It's too lonely for him to fight alone.

Lu Zhu was shocked, and in a trance thought that she was hallucinating, her lips moved, and she couldn't say a word for a while.

She didn't dare to think about it at all, with her results, there was no hope at all. The threshold of the Olympiad class is the top 40 in the grade, but her best score is only the 187th in the grade, which is this monthly exam.

The gap of more than 100 people is too difficult to cross, and every point is like a chasm. She didn't know who lent Jiang Huaining the confidence to think that she could enter the Osban.

"With more than two months to go until the final exams, anything is possible." Jiang Huaining looked into her eyes, and every word had an inspiring magic.

Lu Zhu was probably bewitched and promised him a try.

"It's been a waste of so long, let's talk about it quickly." Jiang Huaining switched to tutor mode in a second,

"I'll go back and make a new schedule to extend the tutoring time."

"How long is it going to take?!" Lu Zhu swallowed his saliva, and before he started, he was timid,

"Jiang Huaining, I don't think I'm good at it......"

"You can do it, you can do it. Cheer up, don't give me back, you just said you wanted to give it a try. ”

"Can I take it back?"

"I can't."

“…… Huh. ”
