Chapter 17(1/3)
When they returned to the dormitory, both roommates were taking a shower, only Jian Anran was still outside.
Looking at Xu Zhilu's face, she asked in surprise: "Zhilu, what are you thinking?"
Xu Zhilu came back to her senses and shook her head: "Nothing."
She pursed her lips and placed the bag on the table: "So you just went to buy something."
Xu Zhilu continued to shake her head: "No."
She took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "I didn't go shopping."
"ah?"
Xu Zhilu turned to look at her, took out the things inside, and asked, "Do you want to eat duck with sauce?"
In addition to the duck sauce, there were two bottles of yogurt and some washed fruits in the bag, which were all packed in boxes.
Jian Anran listened, looked at her and said in surprise: "Where did this come from? Did your family give it to you?"
"no."
Xu Zhilu put out everything inside and said lightly: "It was given to me by someone else."
Jian Anran's lips twitched. Seeing what she didn't want to say, she no longer asked: "Is it really possible to eat?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhilu burst into laughter: "Of course it's OK. I can't finish it alone. I'll wait for them to come out later."
Jian Anran smiled: "Then I'm not polite."
She took a duck rack and bite it and said, "Wow! It's so delicious! This one is so delicious."
Xu Zhilu nodded: "Well, I made it myself, and it's very clean."
She likes to eat the sauced duck made by Grandpa Shen Siyan. She has visited Shen’s house once before, and has been obsessed with it since then.
Shen Siyan didn't understand what delicious this thing was, but he disliked it. Every time he came back to his grandparents' house, he would bring her a few boxes of sauce ducks.
Xu Zhilu didn't think too much about his gift, nor did she think something was wrong.
Because every time Shen Siyan gave her, she would say, "My grandparents forced her to stuff it, but my mother asked her to take it. Over time, Xu Zhilu would not ask who asked her to take it. Naturally, she would not think deeper."
But now.
She vaguely felt something was wrong.
She lowered her eyes and looked at the things in the bag. Before she could figure out the reason, Jian Anran said, "What she took out of the refrigerator is delicious."
As she said that, she said in surprise: "Hey, Zhilu, was this just taken out of the refrigerator?"
Xu Zhilu was stunned for a moment and touched the bag: "It should be."
"Do your friend live near the school?"
Xu Zhilu shook her head: "No, he should have stored it in the refrigerator in the school supermarket."
“Ohh.”
Jian Anran didn't ask any more questions and said to herself: "It's really delicious."
Xu Zhilu took a deep breath and suddenly thought of Shen Siyan asking her about her phone.
The phone was powered off yesterday afternoon. Xu Zhilu put it in the dormitory to charge during evening self-study. After returning from evening self-study, she pulled it out and washed and went to bed, and didn't even turn on the phone.
She turned on the phone in the drawer, and as soon as she logged on to WeChat, she received several messages.
It was sent by Shen Siyan last night.
Xu Zhilu looked down one by one, her lips tightly pursed.
She seemed to know where Shen Siyan was angry.
After reading it, Xu Zhilu stayed on the screen for a long time, but finally turned off.
She had no idea what to return.
After eating what Shen Siyan gave him, Xu Zhilu washed and rested.
As soon as she lay on the bed, the cell phone under the pillow shook. She took it over and saw that it was a message from Shen Siyan.
Shen Siyan: It’s time to get home.
Xu Zhilu: Oh.
Chen Siyan: Didn't turn on the computer last night?
Xu Zhilu: Yes, I just saw the message you sent yesterday.
Chen Siyan: Let's go, rest early, good night.
Xu Zhilu was about to reply "good", but Chen Siyan's message came again.
Chen Siyan: Are there anything you want to eat tomorrow? You probably don’t want to come out at school. I’ll bring it to you?
Xu Zhilu stared at his message for a long time and replied: No, the school cafeteria is pretty good.
Chen Siyan: Oh.
The two of them didn't continue chatting.
Xu Zhilu mutes his phone and starts a new round of review.
She had good grades before and ranked first in the grade. But now she has just returned from rebirth. She has almost forgotten her high school knowledge in college, and she doesn't know how she can do this time.
In the following days, Xu Zhilu and Shen Siyan maintained a relationship between a deskmate inexplicably in the evening study session.
She gave Chen Siyan a key point and gave a lesson.
Every night, the two left the classroom together.
Xu Zhilu didn't quite understand what it meant to be behind her every day, but she didn't want to ask.
She felt that the answer was not what she wanted to hear, so she pretended not to know anything.
And Chen Siyan naturally won’t say it.
On the weekend, Xu Zhilu returned home.
Fortunately, Xu Zhijia had a piano competition in other cities, and Xu's mother accompanied her, while Xu's father was on a business trip.
Xu Zhilu had a very pleasant weekend.
I gave Chen Siyan a tutoring in the morning and afternoon, and I felt very comfortable alone at other times.
She was thinking about whether she wanted to work and earn some money.
In this way, when she is eighteen years old, she can truly leave the home.
But Xu Zhilu saw many job places and required her to be over 18 years old. If she had no store, she would have to ask for it.
Xu Zhilu was a little sad.
She saved a little red envelopes for the New Year before, but they were far from enough.
On Sunday afternoon, when she was giving Chen Siyan a tutoring lesson, she was often distracted.
Chen Siyan had just finished a test paper and turned to ask her, then he noticed her erratic eyes.
He paused, took the paper back, and turned the pen in his hand.
After a while, Xu Zhilu came back to her senses: "Is it finished?"
"Um."
Chen Siyan handed her the paper: "Look at it first."
Xu Zhilu took it and began to comment on him.
Chen Siyan glanced at him and asked lightly: "What were you thinking just now?"
Xu Zhilu didn't hear clearly: "What?"
Chen Siyan paused: "Ask you what you were thinking just now?"
Xu Zhilu was stunned for a moment, but unexpectedly he noticed it.
She yawned and said lightly: "I didn't think about anything, I was just thinking about it..."
Halfway through her words, she suddenly remembered something.
Looking at Xu Zhilu's shiny apricot eyes, Chen Siyan raised his eyebrows: "What?"
Xu Zhilu pursed her lower lip and looked at him: "You know a lot of people. Do you know where to work?"
Chen Siyan: “…”
He frowned and looked at her with an unexpected expression: "Don't you have any money?"
"no."
Xu Zhilu didn't know how to explain: "I just wanted to save some money."
Chen Siyan was silent for a while and whispered: "Isn't it just work for you to give me some lessons?"
Xu Zhilu said "ah": "What does it mean?" Chen Siyan looked at her and said in surprise: "Didn't my mother tell you?"
