It's vacation time

"By the way, can I bring Tong Yun with me to tutoring?" Lin Luo asked them at the same time.

Fu Xingchuan replied calmly, "Yeah."

Ruan Ye ignored her completely. Lin Luo glanced at him and found that he had broken the stick into several pieces, or in other words, it became broken into pieces, and his hands were red from being squeezed.

"Our house is big, you can bring a few more." Zhu Sui'an said enthusiastically.

They just walked to the door of the old villa. Lin Luo said goodbye to them and went home with Ruan Ye.

She wanted to quietly move a few steps to the side to increase the distance between her and Ruan Ye, but Ruan Ye took the first step and walked the other way. Lin Luo asked, "Ruan Ye, where are you going?"

"Go smoke a cigarette." He no longer hid in front of her.

Lin Luo kindly reminded him, "Smoking is harmful to your health. It causes yellow teeth and bad breath, damages your lungs and cardiovascular system, and affects your sleep quality... You should smoke less!"

"You're telling me what to do," he said coldly.

"I'm not, I didn't." She waved her hands quickly.

Aunt Li appeared out of nowhere and asked while cracking melon seeds, "What are you talking about?"

"Nothing." When Ruan Ye saw Aunt Li, he gave up the idea of ​​smoking and went into the corridor to go home.

"It's really nothing?" Aunt Li narrowed her eyes, looking like she wanted to gossip.

"We just talked about studying."

"Xiaoxiao, how did you do in the final exam?" Aunt Li asked her with concern.

"Not good." After she finished speaking, she noticed Du Yunyan behind her. She heard a sigh and said to herself, "I was right."

Aunt Li brushed off the crumbs on her hands and put her arm around Lin Luo's shoulders. "You know what? Ruan Ye wasn't a good student at first. His grades in elementary school almost drove me crazy. His head teacher even asked me to take him to the hospital for an IQ check. I was terribly worried. Then, his father had an accident..."

She paused, then continued, "He's determined to study hard, throwing his toys aside and focusing completely on his studies. The teacher was right; his IQ isn't high, but he's gotten to where he is today simply by tackling each problem head on, working hard. So, I believe our little brother can do it, too."

Lin Luo nodded, and Du Yunyan said nothing.

After entering the house, he couldn't hold it in any longer before speaking, "Your Aunt Li is just trying to comfort you. According to her, everyone in the country works hard and gets into Peking University. For some people who don't have the ability, it's futile to work so hard. What's the point of climbing at a snail's pace? You don't know when you will reach the top, and you will fall down if you are not careful. Look at people like Ruan Ye and Tong Yun. As long as they put in a lot of effort, they will make rapid progress."

"I'm not trying to discourage you. I'm just telling you the harsh truth. You need to be smarter and stop being so stubborn."

Lin Luo didn’t know she had to learn to be smart in this way. She was not smart to begin with, and she also envied Tong Yun.

The final commendation meeting was held on the last day of the supplementary classes. Tong Yun went on stage to receive the award as the "Star of Progress". She stood at the end of the team, while Fu Xingchuan and Ruan Ye stood at the head of the team.

Lin Luo kicked the debris on the grass under her feet, blocked out the image in her mind of herself going on stage to receive the award with them, and began to memorize English words.

"Hello everyone, I'm Xu Yangyang from Class 11, Grade 12. Today, filled with guilt and regret, I'm here to make a self-criticism to express my deep reflection on my bad behavior. I've realized that dating in school is inappropriate. This behavior not only violates school rules and regulations, but also affects my studies and my life."

Xu Yangyang spoke in a hoarse voice on the stage.

Her mother was very strong-willed. After discovering the chat history between her and Fang Shao, she came directly to the school and scolded the head teachers of both classes and the other parents.

Fang Shao broke up with Xu Yangyang that day, and insisted that it was Xu Yangyang who forced him to go astray. Xu Yangyang laughed in anger, slapped him in front of everyone, and then they broke up completely.

Director Wang asked both of them to come up on stage to review their actions, but Fang Shao felt embarrassed and refused to go.

The voice from the stage continued, sarcastically saying, "I'm not afraid to take responsibility for my actions. Unlike someone who's simple-minded, underdeveloped, and useless, I don't know why I was so blind. Ahem, ahem, from now on, I will devote myself to my studies and maintain normal interactions with students of the opposite sex. I will no longer have any contact beyond a classmate relationship."

"I hope everyone doesn't follow my example. Puppy love and all that, be damned!"

After she finished speaking, she stepped down from the stage. Lin Luo saw Zhu Changyu waiting for her beside the podium.

The bell rang to end the morning reading, and the meeting was over. Everyone dispersed and returned to their classes. Lin Luo's math homework was left in Teacher Wu's office, so she hurried to the first-year teaching building to get it. When she came back, she saw Xu Yangyang crying in front of the sink, and Zhu Changyu standing silently beside her.

There was room for another person to stand between them, but Lin Luo did not go over.

After a while of class, Xu Yangyang and Zhu Changyu came back, and Lin Luo gently stroked her back.

Xu Yangyang turned her head and said to her with red eyes, "It's okay."

After saying that, she crumpled up the test paper on the table and said, "I will study hard in the future and return to the top."

"Do you want to study with us during the holidays?" Lin Luo asked softly.

Xu Yangyang shook her head. "I want to, but my mom has signed me up for a class and wants to supervise me personally."

"Oh well."

Before the afternoon holiday, the class changed seats and Zhu Changyu moved back to the front row next to Lin Qiao. He and Xu Yangyang still got along as before.

The class was bustling with activity, and everyone had a smile on their face. Someone shouted, "It's finally vacation time."

"It's the same whether I put it on or not." Xu Yangyang complained in a low voice.

Zhu Changyu heard it and asked her, "Can you get your phone?"

"No, it's been confiscated." She stuffed all the books in the desk drawer into her bag, making it bulge. "It's like being in prison."

"That's too bad!" Zhu Changyu folded his final physics test into a paper airplane. "Luckily, my mom has always been encouraging in her education."

Xu Yangyang noticed the score on the test paper. "26, a record high!"

"That's it."

"Does your mother know how many people got full marks this time?" She couldn't help but smile.

"You can still laugh"

"If Ruan Ye steps on the answer sheet, he might be taller than you." She didn't know what made her laugh, but she laughed so hard that she fell over.

Zhu Changyu glared at her, knowing she would laugh at him. He said in a sly tone, "Didn't the amusement park just build a new haunted house? I was planning on taking you there, what a pity!"

"I suddenly thought of a plan." Xu Yangyang stopped laughing and motioned for Zhu Changyu and Lin Luo to come closer. Lin Luo leaned over and heard her whisper to Zhu Changyu, "Why don't you try kidnapping me?"

"You're trying to drag me down with you, aren't you?! If I kidnap you, your mom will probably rip me off!"

"What's wrong with sacrificing a layer of your skin for my happiness?"

"Xu Yangyang, where is your conscience?"

"I don't have that."

“…”

Lin Xi couldn't join in their conversation, so she lowered her head and tried to put away her math test papers, but she couldn't find the final exam paper after searching through all the drawers.

There were not many people left in the class. The conversation between Feng Zhengyan and the class monitor at the front of the classroom came over and fell clearly into Lin Luo's ears.

"211, with her grades, it's just a pipe dream!"

"What else can she do besides holding our class back?"

"I heard her father went bankrupt and abandoned her, so she came back to Nan'an. She doesn't even look at herself now, and she thinks she's a daughter, clinging to Fu Xingchuan and Zhu Sui'an. It's disgusting."

"That's right. Even if I were her father, I wouldn't want her." Feng Zhengyan held up a test paper. "With her score, she might be able to get into a junior college and become a factory girl."

They laughed together, and Xu Yangyang and Zhu Changyu stopped fighting. They noticed the movement over there, and then the squad leader shifted the focus.

"Who says it's not true? Didn't Xu Yangyang's grades plummet? You don't know, I heard from my friends in the gym class that she forced Fang Shao to be her boyfriend. And her mother is a complete shrew. No wonder they say birds of a feather flock together."

"Tian Yajun, if you have the guts, say it again and I'll tear your mouth apart!" Xu Yangyang was furious.

"Why did you get angry just because I said something right?" I heard that Tian Yajun used to get along well with Xu Yangyang, but after Xu Yangyang surpassed her in grades several times, she became jealous and deliberately said bad things about her behind her back. After Xu Yangyang found out, the two broke up.

Xu Yangyang walked over. Zhu Changyu saw that she was about to fight and hurriedly stopped her. Xu Yangyang pushed him away with great strength. Lin Luo also walked over.

Tian Yajun seemed to be relying on Feng Zhengyan's help, and she also thought that Xu Yangyang didn't dare to cause trouble again because she had just made a self-criticism, so she still acted superior. Unexpectedly, Xu Yangyang didn't waste any time talking to her, but went up and grabbed her hair, and the two started fighting.

"You two bitches." Xu Yangyang was very strong. He hit Tian Yajun with his hands and kicked Feng Zhengyan with his feet. Zhu Changyu was stunned. Lin Luo stopped Feng Zhengyan from going to complain.

As the fight went on, Tian Yajun cursed even more harshly. Lin Luo couldn't stand it anymore and joined the melee, while Zhu Changyu, who was barely able to tie a chicken, was responsible for restraining Feng Zhengyan.

"Blood..." A warm liquid fell on Tian Yajun's hand. She looked down and found that it was blood, flowing out of her two noses. Only then did they stop fighting.

Xu Yangyang's hair was a mess, and Lin Luo's neck was scratched several times by Tian Yajun's long nails, and a little blood was coming out.

Zhu Changyu was like a nimble snake, wrapping his arms and legs around Feng Zhengyan. Lin Qiao said to him, "Let him go!"

"What if he complains?"

"He wouldn't dare..." Lin Luo stared at Feng Zhengyan and said loudly, "I remember Teacher Cheng recommended you to participate in the summer camp at Nanjing University in August! Do you think they will accept two people who are good at fighting and causing trouble?"

"I know that last time I told Director Wang that you deliberately didn't collect my homework, it made you hate me even more. I don't care what you say about me behind my back, but if you spread rumors and slander me again, I will never let it go." She looked determined.

Zhu Changyu let go of Feng Zhengyan, slammed the door and left. Zhu Changyu looked at Lin Luo with admiration and gave her a thumbs up.

Tian Yajun had her first nosebleed, and the bleeding wouldn't stop. She tilted her head back. Xu Yangyang ignored her and pulled Lin Luo away. Lin Luo pulled a tissue out of her schoolbag and handed it to her, warning her, "Don't tilt your head back, or the blood will flow back. Tilt your head forward, pinch this with your hand, and breathe through your mouth. If the bleeding doesn't stop in five to ten minutes, go to the infirmary."

Tian Yajun did as she said. When she lowered her head, she saw the scratches on her neck. She didn't take the paper from her hand and said, "I have it."

"Your kindness is taken for granted. Let's go!" Xu Yangyang rolled her eyes at her and pulled Lin Luo away.

The three of them sat down at the dessert shop, and Xu Yangyang helped Lin Luo treat her wound. Her rubber band was gone, and her hair was loose. Zhu Changyu livened up the atmosphere, "Xu Yangyang, you look like the Lion King with your hair down."

Xu Yangyang glared at him, "You weakling, can you please exercise a little? I can't count on you to protect me in this life."

"Hey, how can you talk like that! Didn't you see how important I was just now? If I hadn't dragged Feng Zhengyan along, would you have had the chance to show off your skills?"

Xu Yangyang was not careful with her hands as she spoke, and Lin Luo cried out, "It hurts."

The pain of the wound being torn, the pain of being slandered by malicious words, and the pain of being wronged all came together. She couldn't help but feel tears welling up in her eyes. Xu Yangyang quickly coaxed her, "Please bear with it for a while. I'll be gentler."

"Lin Qiao, you were so awesome! So tough and courageous. Uh, what other words are there? Generous, awesome..."

Lin Luo couldn't help but shed tears, no matter how much Zhu Changyu praised her.

"If you can't speak, just shut up." He has a limited vocabulary, and Xu Yangyang interrupted him immediately because she was afraid that he would swear the next second.

Zhu Changyu covered his mouth and saw Fu Xingchuan and Qi Yao coming in at the door, "Fu Xingchuan, Brother Yao."

Lin Luo blinked her eyes to hold back her tears, not wanting Fu Xingchuan to see her cry again.

Fu Xingchuan approached and saw Lin Luo there, "Why are you here?"

"I'd like to borrow Brother Yao's place to sit for a while. Lin Luo is injured."

Fu Xingchuan frowned and looked away.

"You didn't see how handsome I was just now. I was holding Feng Zhengyan back by myself..." He told Fu Xingchuan the whole process.

Xu Yangyang put a Band-Aid on Lin Luo and put away the packaging. Perhaps she was not used to having her hair down, so she stopped several times to brush away the loose hair with her hands. Qi Yao came over at some point and put a rubber band on the table.

Xu Yangyang looked at Qi Yao's sturdy arms with bulging veins and swallowed, "Thank you."

Qi Yao still had her watch on her wrist. She noticed that it was almost seven o'clock and quickly put on her schoolbag. "I have to go. My mom asked me to be home before seven o'clock. It's too late."

"I'll ride my bike to take you back." Zhu Changyu also stood up.

Xu Yangyang looked at his small frame and asked, "Can you pedal faster?"

"NONONO," he waved his fingers holding the key, "My dear mother rewarded me with a small e-donkey."

"Zhu Changyu, I have never dared to tell you that we were actually switched at birth. Your mother is my biological mother." Xu Yangyang said exaggeratedly.

Zhu Changyu curled his lips and said, "Drama Queen, it's less than ten minutes to seven."

Xu Yangyang pushed Zhu Changyu away, "Hurry up, hurry up, see you later."

Zhu Changyu gestured to Fu Xingchuan and Qi Yao.

Lin Qi said to them, "Be careful."

She kept watching their backs disappear. Qi Yao walked away. She turned around and noticed Fu Xingchuan staring at her. "Didn't you tell me not to fight? What about you?"

"Can you win? Just go for it!" His voice was reproachful.

Lin Qiao smiled and said meekly, "I won't dare to do it again next time."

"And I didn't lose, it was a draw. I only got scratched a few times, and she had a nosebleed!"

She said this righteously with her nose pinched, and Fu Xingchuan laughed out of anger.
