Chapter 12: Growth

"Is that okay?" Shi Zhuqing turned his head to look at Chu Xiangyun, Chu Xiangyun nodded inexorably, and saw Shi Zhuqing move his fingers to send her name.

After posting, Shi Zhuqing looked at the direction of the follow-up comments again, and after making sure that there was no problem, he closed the page and put the phone back in his pocket.

"Don't you have anything to ask?" She looked at Chu Xiangyun, who was moving her body.

"Huh?" Chu Xiangyun moved his body and looked back at her in confusion, "No...... What do they have to do with me? ”

Shi Zhuqing's expression was complicated, although she knew that Chu Xiangyun's strength would definitely cause a storm of discussion, but it was still uncomfortable to see her being judged, but she really didn't care about these things as she thought.

Shi Zhuqing was a little happy for a while, but the desire to protect and let go of the other party's feelings of growth were intertwined, and she was entangled in every way, and the yarn was tangled together.

"It's time to run, don't be lazy." Chu Xiangyun saw her in a daze, and patted her head boldly.

Shi Zhuqing immediately came to his senses, and suddenly realized that the child should still be beaten by society. She shook her head, smiled sadly, and didn't fight back, but ran on her own.

Chu Xiangyun couldn't help but shiver, looked around vigilantly, frowned in confusion, thought about it, but left this feeling behind, and chased after Shi Zhuqing.

But speaking of which, where did the tweet go?

At the same time, Chu Xiangyun's room.

[Yes, yes, I also think Chu Xiangyun is the most powerful in this session! ] 】

In the gloomy corner, a pair of furry claws stretched out, fingers shuttled like afterimages, and the light screen reflected its serious face.

Obviously, the screen is bigger than its body, but the hand speed is not inferior to others, and for a while, only the clicking sound of typing was left in the room.

[Her bow and arrows are too strong! 】

[Hey...... If I could hug such a big guy's legs, I would be able to laugh out loud in my dreams! 】

[Other candidates? There's nothing to pay attention to, Chu Xiangyun is the best one]

[Oh yes! There is a person named Shi Zhuqing is also very good, I recommend you to pay attention to it, I heard that they are friends]

[Me? I'm just a passerby, I've heard about it.]

"Damn...... Why did you say that I advertised and banned me? Chirp angrily hammered the keyboard.

"Wait! I'll open a trumpet!! ”

Since I found that post that day, Shi Zhuqing has been quite addicted to the Internet, and the strange thing is that even Jiu Jiu is holding the bracelet and not letting go. One man and one rat often sit side by side, no one tapping on the keyboard without speaking.

It wasn't until the night before departure that Shi Zhuqing finally put down the keyboard and sat cross-legged on the bed to watch Chu Xiangyun pack his luggage.

But in fact, there is nothing to clean up, Lingxiao Mansion is a semi-closed boarding school, the school has all kinds of facilities, and there is a small commercial area outside the school, everything should be needed.

When Chu Xiangyun had taken good care of his new bow and arrow, Shi Zhuqing waved his hand and called her over. When she walked to the bed, she tilted her head and patted her on the shoulder, and said in a serious tone, "I'm going to tell you about our itinerary tomorrow, you can listen to me well, you know?" ”

Chu Xiangyun nodded, turned around and brought a stool to the side of the bed for attention, sat face to face with Shi Zhuqing and looked at each other, and put his hands in fists on his legs.

Shi Zhuqing bowed his head with satisfaction, "First of all, first thing. ”

"Definitely, definitely, must follow me." She stared at Chu Xiangyun's eyes, and her tone became more and more aggravated each time.

Even though he saw Chu Xiangyun's serious expression, Shi Zhuqing still squinted and looked at her for a long time.

In fact, it's no wonder that Shi Zhuqing doesn't trust her, it's really that Chu Xiangyun has gone out and got lost too many times, and it can almost be regarded as getting lost from a small to a big one.

Shi Zhuqing once tried to support her to help with the work, but Chu Xiangyun often never returned, and in the end, a group of people shouted her name everywhere at night, and finally Shi Zhuqing had to pull her around to apologize.

She is like a cloud, always blown by the wind and gone.

Later, Shi Zhuqing learned a lesson, it was okay in a familiar place, once he wanted to go to a place a little farther away, he had to take her with him, but even so, Chu Xiangyun would often lose his whereabouts without paying attention.

And she is used to having a face that can't see emotions, although there is no mistake in major events such as the Lingxiao Mansion exam for the time being, but people still can't put their minds at ease.

"I'll follow you well." Chu Xiangyun raised three fingers to make an oath.

Shi Zhuqing took a deep breath and withdrew his skeptical eyes, "As long as you can do this first thing well, the rest is not a big problem." ”

"We're going to take the plane tomorrow morning, we should spend the night on the plane, you don't want to wear too thin, you know?"

"Then the plane will stop at the special airport of Lingxiao Mansion the next morning, and then there will be a leading teacher to take us to the school in batches, and I don't know if they will provide ......breakfast at that time," Shi Zhuqing muttered, and then stretched his brows, "But my mother helped us prepare some food, and I have already put it in your bag." ”

"When you get to school, that's the most important thing."

Shi Zhuqing's expression became unexpectedly serious, "I don't know what we're going to face. ”

“…… Huh? ”

Shi Zhuqing scratched his hair a little anxiously, "I've been browsing the internal forums of Lingxiao Mansion these days, and all the new student admission precautions posts mention the same thing-"

"We're going to face an entrance test."

"But about this test, I searched the entire forum, looked through the posts of the past few years, and even asked my uncle, and no one could explain the content clearly!"

Shi Zhuqing seemed to be a little annoyed, she has always been good at intelligence gathering, which can be regarded as a rare overturning experience in her life.

"All they said was that the test was very important, and if they didn't pass it, they might have to go home." Speaking of which, Shi Zhuqing gently hammered off the edge of the bed.

"Some people say that the test is very simple and anyone can do it. Others said that this test was simply devilish, and it was better to make him die than to do this. ”

"The only thing I can confirm at the moment is that there seems to be no time limit for this test, and some people say that they did it for a day and a night to complete. I think if that's the case, it means that this matter shouldn't be too difficult, and it's a problem that can be solved with hard work. Shi Zhuqing said and gradually calmed down, "So you can't give up, do you hear?" ”

Chu Xiangyun scratched his cheek and looked away, Shi Zhuqing knew what she wanted to say as soon as he saw her expression, and said first: "No!" ”

Chu Xiangyun puffed out his cheeks, "I'm still ......"

"You're saying there's no need to finish if it's too boring, right?"

"Uh......" Chu Xiangyun's words were blocked in his throat.

"I understand you. But at this point, I will not allow you to give up. Shi Zhuqing softened his tone, "Just think it's for me, okay?" ”

“…… I know. ”

After Shi Zhuqing left, Chu Xiangyun lay on the bed and tossed over, not knowing what she was thinking, she hadn't shown such obvious mood swings like now for a long time, and stopped typing to look at her.

"Would you like to talk to me?" Its tone is unexpectedly heavy, and it sounds like it's been a lot on the Internet these days.

Chu Xiangyun stopped his movements and turned his head to look at it. Under the reflection of the moonlight, she couldn't help but think of that night, and her original distraction gradually calmed down, and she said, "I don't understand, why can't people just do what they want to do?" ”

"Don't you want to go to Lingxiao Mansion?" Chirp asked.

Chu Xiangyun was silent for a moment, "No...... Nor did it. ”

"I'm just ......" Chu Xiangyun sat up and put his right hand on his heart, "I'm just a little uneasy." ”

"I feel like something is going to change, but I don't know what this change will bring, whether it's good or bad, and I'm ...... for that."

"You're terrified of it."

Chu Xiangyun looked at Jiu Jiu in a daze, and nodded after a long time, "Yes...... I'm terrified of it. ”

"But it's not the same feeling as when I killed the Whitescale, I've never faced an enemy like that, my heart was beating fast, but not as hesitant as it is now."

"I'm ...... now Kind of trying to escape. ”

"Of course you can." Chirp quickly replied.

"What?" Chu Xiangyun was a little surprised.

"I mean, you don't have to go to Lingxiao Mansion, do you? There are also some schools in Mingjin Township, so you don't have to travel too far from home, and you don't have to force yourself to use an unfamiliar bracelet. ”

"Although you will be separated from Zhuqing because of this, friends will not stay together forever, separation is an inevitable thing, as long as you still keep in touch, it doesn't matter."

"Look, you have another choice, Xiaoyun."

Chirping, jumping onto the bed, touching the tip of Chu Xiangyun's nose with a slightly cold claw like that night.

"No one can control you, you are free."

“……”

Chu Xiangyun's expression was like a child who had been robbed of candy, and Jiu Jiu couldn't help but close his eyes, put his side face against her cheek, and sighed silently.

"But I know you've made promises and choices, just like a coin has made a decision before it's tossed."

"You're just not sure yet, because you've been being pulled forward, once it was me, now it's Zhuqing, and you don't know what you really want."

"It's normal, there's nothing to be afraid of."

You can be a little willful and tweet in your heart, but it doesn't say the second half of the sentence.

"With me by your side, I will never leave you."

“…… You just said that separation between friends is inevitable. Chu Xiangyun lowered his eyelids.

"Well, because we're not friends. I'm your teacher, aren't I? ”

Chu Xiangyun looked at it and showed a hint of a smile, "Sometimes I think you know a lot, and sometimes I think you look like a liar." ”

Jiu Jiu let go of his claws and returned to his original position.

"Because you have seen too little, the real genius will be mistaken for a liar at the beginning." Chirp said in a deep voice, "This is the fate of genius." ”

Chu Xiangyun turned his head to look out the window, and there was a begonia flower in full bloom quietly.

"I want to ...... This may be the price of growth. ”
