Chapter 77: Embarrassing Again
Although Xue Wenshu has a gentle name, he actually looks quite unrestrained.
Li Chengqi remembers that he was already 185 when he was a freshman in high school. Now it has jumped up even more, maybe almost 190. It's not obvious at ordinary times, but when he goes out to play basketball with his classmates, it's obvious that he is half a head taller than the others.
His body standing on the street will indeed give people the intimidating effect of a dark cloud, and it feels like he is not someone to be trifled with.
But Li Chengqi then thought about it and couldn't just look at the appearance without looking at the inside.
Although saying this is a bit of a choreography for Xue Wenshu, based on Li Chengqi's understanding of him, this kid is just a tall and strong fool...
"It's a hot day and the air conditioner in my room is broken. Brother Li, you are the one who keeps me cool."
Xue Wenshu didn't notice anything was wrong in the convenience store. He took a Coke from the refrigerator at the door, mumbling as he was about to go to the checkout counter to scan the QR code.
Then he saw Lei Lei standing in front of the cashier.
The happiness on his face disappeared instantly.
"You... um, classmate Lei Lei, why are you here?"
"My home is nearby, come and buy some things."
"Oh, my home is also nearby, just next door. Um...what, it's good that you don't go to cram school recently, right?"
Li Chengqi, who was behind the cashier, covered his face when he heard this. The conversation was so embarrassing that he was picking his feet.
He knew that what Xue Wenshu wanted to say was that the cram school was closed. We haven't seen him for a while. How are you recently?
As a result, I omitted part of it because I was too nervous.
This is considered a bad habit of Xue Wenshu.
This nervousness is understandable. It was the first time in his life that Xue Wenshu had a good impression of the opposite sex of the same age. However, this good feeling was extinguished before it even sprouted. Although it could only be regarded as self-indulgent, it was enough to cause a critical blow to the young boy who was just beginning to have a romantic interest.
After two days of respite, he felt like he didn't care anymore and thought it was because of his excellent mental quality.
In fact, it was just that Lei Lei had already connected with Li Chengqi and released the spell that affected Xue Wenshu.
But the influence of spells is one thing. It's not that easy to forget.
That's why Xue Wenshu reacted like this when he saw Lei Lei in the store.
Lei Lei was the only one present who knew it well, and she was also the one with the calmest reaction:
“Fortunately, we just moved, and the neighbors are very enthusiastic.”
"That's good……"
Xue Wenshu quickly scanned the code with her mobile phone:
"I have to go back to do my homework. If you need anything, come to me anytime."
It looked like she couldn't stand it anymore, and she wanted to run away without waiting for Lei Lei's response.
And at this unlucky moment, Aldai walked out of the shelf holding a bag of snacks:
"Magic..."
She just said the magic word, and when she saw Xue Wenshu and Lei Lei were there, she immediately changed her words: "Magic... Is konjac silk delicious? Brother Li."
As expected of a mage who has to learn everything, look at his adaptability.
When Xue Wenshu, who was in a hurry to go home, saw Aldai, he immediately stopped and returned, turning to ask Li Chengqi:
"Who is this? Brother Li, your acquaintance?"
Li Chengqi had no choice but to say what he had thought of for a long time:
"This is a cousin of mine who is coming to stay with me for a few days."
Xue Wenshu was not in a hurry to leave now, and quickly came over:
"Hello, hello, my name is Xue Wenshu. What's your name?"
"Aldai."
"Are you a foreigner? But you speak Chinese very well. Are you of mixed race? Why is your hair blue? I don't mean to be discriminatory, I just find it very novel. Where did you dye it? Are you playing? cosplay?"
When Aldai heard Xue Wenshu's words, her eyes seemed to reveal doubts, as if she was asking, who is this familiar guy? Which unit?
Lei Lei whispered to Li Chengqi:
"You see, this is why I don't ask for help from my peers."
"Well...it's really convincing."
From being embarrassed and picking at his feet, to now rushing forward to do something, Xue Wenshu switched almost seamlessly.
One thing to say, this psychological quality is indeed good.
"Where do you go to school? Have you gone to high school? If you are in No. 3 Middle School, you can come to me anytime if you need anything." Although Aldai didn't understand what Xue Wenshu meant by high school, she figured it should be some kind of school.
Coincidentally, Alday's main job is also in school, but she is a professor instead of a student.
Because she was relatively young, she had had misunderstandings when she was in school, and she immediately understood her current situation.
"I'm 23."
Aldai interrupted Xue Wenshu's long speech. When he was stunned, she repeated:
"I am 23."
“…..”
Xue Wenshu looked back at Li Chengqi with an expression of "Am I embarrassed again?" and saw him nodding.
"I, I'd better go back and do my homework..."
It was so miserable, so miserable that even Li Chengqi was embarrassed to laugh at it.
Seeing Xue Wenshu running out of the convenience store with a Coke as if running for his life, he probably had to stand on his head on the bed in embarrassment when he got home.
"I'll buy some snacks and go back to do my homework. It's time for school to start."
When Lei Lei saw Xue Wenshu leaving, she also ran to get two bags of potato chips.
"Wait, I have something to ask you."
Li Chengqi quickly stopped Lei Lei who was about to leave after paying the bill:
"Qian Sen said you are a cultivator..."
"It's a monk."
"Yes, monk. Do you think I can practice it? Can you teach me?"
Who hasn’t dreamed of being a fairy yet?
"I can teach you how to get started, but you are too old and your bones have already been established."
"I'm in good health."
"This has nothing to do with health. Think about it. When practicing martial arts, you still have to practice basic skills from a young age. When you grow up, no matter how hard you work, your body flexibility will not keep up."
This seems to be the case.
"Um...can I learn it?"
"It's not that you can't learn it, it's just that it's useless if you learn it. You won't be able to get into it after practicing for a lifetime. The only benefit is to strengthen your body, but it's not as effective as if you go out for a walk more often."
“…..”
Although Lei Lei used many methods to try to get close to Li Chengqi, she did not lie this time.
The training of monks all starts at the age of six or seven, not earlier or later, and during the foundation period, various miraculous medicines must be used.
If you want to cultivate immortality just by reading the formula, it is better to lie down. Anyway, you can have everything in your dreams.
Lei Lei pursed her lips at Aldai who was approaching: "If you really want to learn, you can try learning magic. There is no age limit for that."
When it comes to this, that's Aldai's specialty.
"The learning ability of adults is not as good as that of children. They will spend a lot of time on the basics. It will probably take ten or twenty years to become a novice mage."
Hearing what Aldai said, Leilei was a little surprised: "I thought magic should be like in the movies, just recite a few spells and wave a magic wand."
Although O'Day didn't know what the movie was, she still explained:
"It's really that simple to show it, but there must be a pretty huge foundation before that, otherwise it's just pure nonsense."
After studying for more than ten or twenty years, not to mention that Li Chengqi was already over forty at that time. Whether he could maintain his enthusiasm and perseverance for such a long time was a question.
"So, I can only watch?"
In fact, Lei Lei had something to hide. For example, the strong spiritual energy around Li Chengqi made her very suspicious that Li Chengqi was an earth god in human form. Although he was not able to practice and become stronger like a monk, he could use the abilities of many gods.
It's just that Lei Lei is still waiting and watching, and she doesn't plan to tell him now.
