Chapter 268 Extra (if line) - High School 12
When Xu Xiaozhou saw the news of Li Ji's resignation, he couldn't help but feel a little weird and a little flustered for no reason.
She thought for a while and put down her phone, not planning to reply again.
Her personality has always been slow and warm, and there is a faint warning line between her and strangers.
But now she could faintly notice that Li Jici was not only getting closer to this warning line, but was even tending to cross it.
She was a little afraid of the feeling that things were getting out of control.
Although she was thinking this, she couldn't help but glance at the screen of her phone, and then she saw another message sent from the other side.
Li Jici: [Who will hold a parent-teacher meeting for you this Saturday? 】
Xu Xiaozhou almost choked on the lotus root soup again, and there were some indescribable emotions in his heart.
She finally picked up her phone again and tapped the screen lightly.
Xu Xiaozhou: [Why do you ask this? 】
Li Jici: [Go say hello to your uncle or aunt then. 】
Xu Xiaozhou:? ? ?
Are they familiar enough?
On impulse, she expressed her thoughts.
When he came back to his senses and wanted to withdraw, it was already too late.
Li Jici looked at the words "We are not familiar with each other" and laughed angrily again.
Xu Xiaozhou felt a little guilty, but after seeing him for several minutes without replying, his mood gradually calmed down.
She brainwashed herself into thinking that she was just telling the truth and that they really didn't know each other very well.
——
In a blink of an eye, Saturday came, and it was also the day of the parent-teacher conference in No. 1 Middle School.
Xu Xiaozhou ranked 68th in his grade this time, 10 places better than the last monthly exam.
Yin Peiru ranked 352nd in her grade. Although her results were average, she made the greatest progress, advancing by more than 100 places compared with the monthly exam.
"Hehe." Yin Peiru held Xu Xiaozhou's arm and giggled non-stop, "I'll invite you and Xiao Chenzi to drink milk tea later. My parents are very happy this time and rewarded me with 200 yuan of pocket money."
< br>
Xu Xiaozhou was a little absent-minded. He looked at the classroom full of parents for a while, and then looked at the second-grade teaching building behind him.
She somehow felt that Li Jici was really capable of coming over to peek at her parents.
Since the chat on Monday night, he hasn't sent her a message this week, but the closer to the parent-teacher meeting, the more uneasy she becomes, fearing that he will show up suddenly.
"Zhou Zhou?" Yin Peiru saw that Xu Xiaozhou was distracted again and called her name.
"Ah?" Xu Xiaozhou looked at her blankly.
Yin Peiru's face was full of doubts, "You did so well in the exam this time. Auntie must have praised you before it was too late. Why do you still look worried?"
Xu Xiaozhou was speechless.
Yin Peiru: "Okay, don't think too much, let's go, I'll treat you to milk tea."
Zhao Kaichen: "Okay."
Their eyes fell on Xu Xiaozhou, and the next second, they saw her running out with her schoolbag on her back.
Yin Peiru:? ? ?
Zhao Kaichen:? ? ?
The two of them looked over together and realized that Li Jici had come from the second grade teaching building at the back at some point and was walking this way casually.
Then Xu Xiaozhou, who rushed over in a panic, grabbed his arm and took him away.
Yin Peiru was stunned: "What's going on?"
Where is her quiet and shy best friend?
Zhao Kaichen frowned, "Zhou Zhou has his own ideas."
Yin Peiru was worried and wanted to join in the fun. However, before she could take action, Zhao Kaichen grabbed her schoolbag and dragged her outside.
"You're not allowed to go, let's go first."
Yin Peiru was so angry that she punched and kicked him, "You want to rebel!"
Zhao Kaichen suddenly let go of her schoolbag, grabbed her wrist, rubbed it subconsciously, and coaxed her good-naturedly, "Don't make trouble."
The girl who had been making a fuss just a moment suddenly calmed down and glanced at her wrist. She still had an unconvinced expression on her face, but her earlobes turned slightly red.
"Hmph! I don't care about the faults of villains."
……
At the same time, Xu Xiaozhou dragged Li Jici to a secluded pavilion in the garden in one breath. At this moment, the parents and teachers of the students are holding a parent-teacher meeting in the classroom, but the students have almost dispersed.
There are no outsiders here, it's very quiet.
It was a rare moment for Xu Xiaozhou to show his emotions like this, with his hands on his hips and his face flushed. He was obviously a little shorter than Li Jici in front of him, but he was very imposing.
She looked up and stared at him, "What do you want to do?"
The smile in Li Jici's eyes was fleeting, but he deliberately teased her with a sullen face, "What do you think?"
The blush on Xu Xiaozhou's face gradually deepened, and she felt that he was extremely rogue.
Li Jici leaned close to her and looked directly into her eyes, "Now, do you still feel that we are not familiar with each other?"
Xu Xiaozhou swallowed, his heart beating like a drum.
The courage to show off was like a popped balloon, disappearing in an instant.
Defeated, she tilted her head to one side, pursed her lips and said nothing.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Li Jici suddenly raised his hand and touched her head, smiled softly, and called her name.
"Xu Xiaozhou."
Xu Xiaozhou lowered his head, lightly tapped the ground with his toes, and hummed.
"Xu Xiaozhou."
"Huh?"
"Xu Xiaozhou."
"...What are you going to do?"
The young man laughed loudly, "I just want to call your name."
"Also, are we familiar now?"
——
After that day, Yin Peiru keenly felt that something was wrong with her good sister.
Sometimes when he met Li Jici at school, Xu Xiaozhou would quietly hide behind her and Zhao Kaichen.
Li Jici, on the other hand, was generous and could even call them by name and take the initiative to greet them.
When Xu Xiaozhou hosts the radio station every Monday, she is no longer needed to help bring bread. When I ask, she eats a lot at lunch and is not hungry at night. She can study late at night and then eat after returning home.
Such days lasted for more than a month, until what Zhao Kaichen said no longer worked, and Yin Peiru decided to find out.
She spoke righteously, "We are Zhou Zhou's best friends, so we should pay more attention to her."
Zhao Kaichen: "Don't you just want to know if Zhou Zhou had a puppy love with Li Jici?"
Yin Peiru's eyes lit up, "You know?"
Zhao Kaichen: "I don't know."
After a pause, he added: "But Zhou Zhou shouldn't fall in love prematurely."
At most, the relationship is ambiguous, just like... He lowered his eyes and glanced at Yin Peiru, just like them.
Yin Peiru snorted, "That's not necessarily the case. Li Jici is too charming. What if Zhou Zhou gets dizzy?"
Zhao Kaichen suddenly turned dark, "Do you like Li Jici?"
Yin Peiru:? ? ?
"What are you talking about!" She was annoyed, "I'm Zhou Zhou's best friend!"
She said without hesitation, "Don't bully your friends' wives!"
Zhao Kaichen: "Don't use idioms randomly."
But he returned to his gentle and talkative appearance.
……
Today happened to be Monday. During dinner time in the evening, Yin Peiru dragged Zhao Kaichen along and secretly went to the laboratory building.
The two of them arrived at the floor where the radio station was located. As they were looking around, a clear male voice suddenly sounded from behind.
"Why are you here?"
I will take another day off today and resume normal updates tomorrow (due to Chapter 4).
See you tomorrow~
