65. I'm willing to do anything

"Let's go back."

"Let's go."

Xiao Cheng held up an umbrella and walked into the rain side by side with Xu Wenqiang.

The distance from the restaurant to the teaching building is not far or near. Two people holding one umbrella will always walk slower than one person. An umbrella is not too big or too small. When two people walk in the rain, they will naturally be closer. Outside the umbrella is the wind and rain. Under the curved umbrella, there are people who have walked this distance together.

"Xu Wenqiang, what were you thinking about just now at the restaurant door?" Xiao Cheng asked.

"Just now?" Xu Wenqiang thought about it and realized that she must have been thinking about her Chinese and math just now.

"Xiao Cheng..." Xu Wenqiang thought maybe she could listen to the opinion of Xiao Cheng, the top student in the grade.

"Hmm?" Xiao Cheng slowed down and waited for Xu Wenqiang.

"Actually, I haven't given it much thought." Xu Wenqiang hesitated for a moment, then decided not to ask. Even for Xiao Cheng, it was nothing more than "reading and accumulating knowledge."

Seeing Xu Wenqiang's gloomy face, Xiao Cheng didn't ask any more questions. He just said casually, "Just now, when I spoke, you didn't say anything. I thought you were in trouble again."

Xu Wenqiang raised her head and glared at Xiao Cheng, "In your eyes, I'm just a nuisance, right?"

Xiao Cheng glanced down at Xu Wenqiang, then said slowly, "In my eyes, you are more trouble than trouble."

Xu Wenqiang pondered Xiao Cheng's words for a moment and rephrased them, "Are you saying I'm worse than trouble?"

"That's about it." Xiao Cheng said.

Xu Wenqiang's mood immediately became much better, and she said with a bit of arrogance: "That shows that I have some ability."

Xiao Cheng felt a little better when he saw Xu Wenqiang like this. Her unhappy look was really an eyesore.

"Xiao Cheng, why don't you go back to the classroom?" Xu Wenqiang suddenly asked.

Because Xiao Cheng was holding an umbrella, Xu Wenqiang followed him all the way. Before she knew it, she had already followed him to the bottom of the Grade 12 teaching building.

Xiao Cheng put away his umbrella and said nonchalantly, "Didn't I promise you that I would help you get into the top ten in the class? So, I'm here to give you extra lessons."

"Make up lessons?" Xu Wenqiang was delighted when she heard this. "Will you help me with Chinese and English?"

"I have this plan, but I don't know if you agree." Xiao Cheng said.

"I am willing. I am willing to do anything." Xu Wenqiang said hurriedly.

"Then come with me." Xiao Cheng said and walked up the stairs.

Xu Wenqiang followed Xiao Cheng to a classroom on the top floor of the Grade 12 teaching building. Xu Wenqiang had visited Xiao Cheng there before, on the day of the class committee elections. This was a special privilege given to Xiao Cheng by his cousin Xiao Yi, a gifted student at the school, who had arranged a separate classroom for him to study.

"Xiao Yi and I have agreed that we will use this classroom during dinner time on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and he will use it on Tuesdays and Thursdays." Xiao Cheng said, "Today is Wednesday, so you can just come over after dinner the day after tomorrow."

Xu Wenqiang clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and said devoutly, "Thank you, Senior Brother."

After paying respects to Xiao Yi, Xu Wenqiang opened her eyes and found Xiao Cheng’s chest and a piece of information in front of her.

"Let's finish these English reading comprehension exercises today." Xiao Cheng handed the materials and a pen to Xu Wenqiang.

Xu Wenqiang was both puzzled and excited. "Do the exercises first? Shouldn't I read and accumulate knowledge?"

"Reading and accumulating knowledge can't be achieved overnight," Xiao Cheng said. "The college entrance exam is just around the corner. If I want to improve my scores quickly, I still believe in the tactic of doing a sea of ​​questions. So my tutoring method is to do questions, review them, and gain experience. But if you're not willing to do that, then our tutoring ends here."

"I am willing to do anything!" Xu Wenqiang said flatteringly.

Xiao Cheng sighed, "Xu Wenqiang, you can't just say the words 'I do' to anyone like that."

"I know, I know. I'm only telling you this." Xu Wenqiang still looked flattering.

Xiao Cheng looked at Xu Wenqiang, who was not understanding the romance, and raised his hand to flick her forehead. "Go do the test."

"Play me again." Xu Wenqiang muttered and went to do the questions.

This small classroom was filled with the study materials left by Xiao Yi. Xiao Cheng picked up a book at random and sat down in the seat next to Xu Wenqiang.

"We became deskmates." said Xu Wenqiang.

Xiao Cheng extended his hand, "Hello, classmate."

"Hello, deskmate." Xu Wenqiang smiled and shook Xiao Cheng's hand.

Both of their palms were wet.

"Go on." Xiao Chengxian let go of his hand.

Xu Wenqiang hummed and held the pen in her wet palm.

The rain outside the window is still falling, lingering, as if it will last forever.

It was raining outside, but in this small classroom, Xu Wenqiang was concentrating on doing her homework, and Xiao Cheng was concentrating on reading a book. Neither of them spoke, and the silence seemed to last forever.

After all, the dinner time before evening self-study was too short, so Xiao Cheng asked Xu Wenqiang if she could spare a day on the weekend to spend time with him. Without much thought, Xu Wenqiang told Xiao Cheng to forget about the weekend because she had to go to the market to help Xu Yanmei.

A few days later, Xiao Cheng asked again, what about at night?

Hearing that it was going to be evening, Xu Wenqiang was relieved. Where are we going to be in the evening?

Xiao Cheng said that you can go to the city library in the evening, where the lights in the study room are turned off at nine o'clock in the evening.

Xu Wenqiang agreed immediately and went to the library.

Xiao Cheng hesitated again. Could Xu Wenqiang handle working at the farmers' market all day and then studying in the library at night?

As if knowing what Xiao Cheng was thinking, Xu Wenqiang smiled brightly. "I went from last to 22nd on the test, but that wasn't just a joke. Even if I didn't go to the library, I wouldn't fall asleep right after returning home from the market."

Xiao Cheng nodded and said, then let’s go to the library.

When Xu Yanmei heard Xu Wenqiang say that she would not be home on weekends to study outside, she looked at her like a monster. During the high school entrance exam, Xu Wenqiang studied like crazy, just like she does now, and finally got into Qingshi No. 1 Middle School.

"Xu Wenqiang, do you want to get into Tsinghua University or Peking University?" Xu Yanmei's words were mostly sarcastic.

Xu Wenqiang's answer was also unrelated: "Yes, I don't like other schools except Tsinghua University and Peking University."

"Look at your behavior. Do you think Tsinghua or Peking University would be interested in you?" Xu Yanmei waved her hand. "Just go to the market during the day, and go wherever you want to go at night."

"Mom, remember, I'll be home around 10 p.m." Xu Wenqiang knew Xu Yanmei wouldn't bother her. She was going to tell her when she would be home. Before that, Xu Yanmei had to get Chen Long to leave.

"I know, I know. As long as I don't die outside, it's fine." Xu Yanmei waved her hand and went to watch TV series.
