Chapter 35 You Still Have Some Conscience

The osmanthus flowers on campus are in bloom, and a faint fragrance can be smelled everywhere.

Lin Zixia likes to open the window. The late summer breeze is slightly warm and carries bursts of fragrance, which is very comfortable.

After a rain, Lin Zixia and Cheng Zhiwei went under a tree to pick up many fallen flower stamens, dried them, and then put them in the book.

Because it was raining, they didn't do morning exercises during the break. Cheng Zhiwei turned around and lay on Lin Zixia's desk, and the two of them were busy making bookmarks.

Lu Xiangye took a quick look and didn't understand the girls' interests and hobbies. What was so beautiful about those broken petals?

Wu You and a few others were still discussing where to go for National Day.

"Brother Lu, how about we go see the snow-capped mountains? Or the grasslands."

Lu Xiangye: "Can you finish your homework?"

Wu You: "Time is like water in a sponge. If you squeeze it, there will always be water."

"Homework can be made up later. I finally have a long vacation, so I have to go out and have some fun."

Lu Xiangye shrugged, "I don't care."

Seeing that Lu Xiangye had no objection, Wu You quickly asked Lin Zixia beside him, "Xiaoxia sister, are you going home for National Day? Let's go out and play together!"

Lin Zixia paused, "I don't know whether I will come back or not."

"Then tell me if you're sure." Wu You looked at the cardboard, tissues, scissors, and pet stickers spread out on their table and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

Lin Zixia buried his head and said, "Okay, let's make a bookmark."

Wu You: "Use these flowers and plants to make it?"

Lin Zixia: “Yes.”

Wu You came over to take a few looks. There were flowers of all colors, and they looked pretty nice.

"Can you give me one when you're done?"

Lin Zixia had just finished one. She wiped it with a tissue to press out some large bubbles, then took a look at it. After confirming that there was no problem, she handed it to Wu You, "Do you want this one?"

"Yes!" Wu You took it back without hesitation and admired it in front of his eyes. "It's really beautiful. You have really skillful hands."

It was a photo frame-style pet sticker with a few purple and white flowers pressed inside the transparent sticker, which looked very fresh and clean.

As soon as she finished speaking, Cheng Zhiwei also made one. As soon as she picked it up, Li Senmiao came over and said, "Can I have this?"

They prepared many kinds of stickers, and Cheng Zhiwei was not stingy. "Here you go."

Li Senmiao smiled happily: "You are such a good person!"

Cheng Zhiwei: ...

Wu You and Li Senmiao huddled together, whispering about whose was better looking. Lu Xiangye glanced at them and said, "What a prospect!"

Wu You: "Brother Lu, you don't understand!"

Because Wu You and Li Senmiao were showing off their bookmarks everywhere, many classmates came over to take a look, and a crowd gathered around Lu Xiangye's desk.

"Mr. Lin, can you give me one?" Zhang Yu scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly, "I can exchange it with you for something else."

Lin Zixia smiled and said, "No need. I'll give it to you when it's ready."

Seeing that the two were easy to talk to, the classmates who were more familiar with them had already started making reservations.

Lin Zixia curled her lips and didn't refuse. "But the quantity is limited. There are only these. After we finish these, they will be gone."

Seeing more and more people gathered around, Lu Xiangye kicked the table irritably, "Stop being an eyesore here!"

His place is almost becoming a vegetable market.

Lin Zixia smiled at everyone soothingly, "I'll give it to you when I'm done."

The boys couldn't help but feel sorry for themselves, wondering how such a nice girl could sit with this big Buddha.

Lin Zixia and Cheng Zhiwei worked quickly. After they were done, Lin Zixia gave all the bookmarks to Cheng Zhiwei, "Pick the one you like and keep it. Give the rest to the students who just asked for it."

Cheng Zhiwei looked at her, "How can I go? You did most of it."

Lin Zixia: "We did this together, it's the same if you go."

Cheng Zhiwei didn't refuse anymore, "Okay."

After Lin Zixia cleaned up the garbage on the table, he stretched his shoulders and neck. He had done almost ten pictures in one go and felt quite tired.

Lu Xiangye caught a glimpse of her movements from the corner of his eye and said lazily, "Weren't you quite enthusiastic just now? Are you tired now?"

Lin Zixia paused, "We are all classmates, it's not a big deal."

Lu Xiangye sneered, "You are so kind."

Lin Zixia: “…” in a sarcastic tone.

However, she still took out a bookmark from the hole in the table and handed it over, "If you like it, keep it. If you don't like it, throw it away."

Lu Xiangye raised his eyelids slightly, "What do you mean?"

Lin Zixia took back his hand and said in a calm tone, "Reward, love or not."

Lu Xiangye looked down and saw that this bookmark was different from other bookmarks. There were no flowers on it, but it was made entirely of leaves. One could vaguely see that it was the Chinese character "向".

Lu Xiangye raised his lips slightly and asked nonchalantly, "Is this the word 'Xiang'?"

Lin Zixia: "Isn't it obvious?"

Lu Xiangye: "Why not Lu or Ye?"

Lin Zixia raised his hand and pulled out his geography textbook, saying bluntly, "Because this word is the simplest."

Lu Xiangye: "Why is mine different from others?"

Lin Zixia glanced at him suspiciously, "You like flowers?"

Lu Xiangye raised his eyebrows slightly and shrugged, "I don't like it."

Lin Zixia: "That's it."

Lu Xiangye played with the bookmark, snorted, and put it in the book. "You still have some conscience."

Lin Zixia: Is she an ungrateful person?

…

On the last day of September, the long-awaited National Day holiday finally arrived.

From the first class, papers fell like snowflakes, creating waves in the classroom.

Accompanied by wailing, Lin Zixia counted the papers in his hand. There were thirteen of them! This did not include the various exercise books and soft homework.

Wu You looked like he had lost all hope in life. "He's just not a human being..."

On the stage, Jiang Xu was talking about things to pay attention to during the holidays, while Lin Zixia was quietly packing his textbooks and schoolbag.

Lu Xiangye watched her packing books into her bag and couldn't help but frown, "You're going to take so many books back?"

Lin Zixia nodded, "Yes."

Lu Xiangye: "Are you bringing geography and history books too?"

Lin Zixia: "Ah, I need to memorize the book."

Lu Xiangye: ...

After waiting for a long time for Jiang Xu to announce the end of school, the classroom suddenly cheered, "It's finally vacation!"

Jiang Xu added, "I don't care how you play during the holidays, but you must finish your homework."

"Don't worry."

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

"Weiwei, see you after National Day!" Lin Zixia said hello to Cheng Zhiwei and prepared to leave.

Lu Xiangye grabbed her schoolbag. She stumbled and almost fell. She turned around and glared at him, "What are you doing?"

Lin Zixia was very thin and had thin shoulders. Her bulging schoolbag looked very heavy on her back, and Lu Xiangye was afraid that she might accidentally break it.

"Give me the schoolbag."

"Um?"

Lu Xiangye reached out and pulled her bag down hard. Lin Zixia almost fell to her knees, "Lu Xiangye!"

Lu Xiangye weighed her schoolbag, a somewhat malicious smile on his face, "Are you planning to walk back with this bag of knowledge on your back?"

"I'll take you back."

Lin Zixia glanced at his schoolbag and found that his cross-body bag was thin, as if he only brought a few papers.

"That's all you have?"

Lu Xiangye curled his lips, raised his hand and nodded his head, smiling lazily and unruly, "All the knowledge is here."

Lin Zixia: “…” Stop pretending!

She was certainly happy to have someone to help her. Lin Zixia put down her schoolbag and said, "Thank you" without hesitation.

Lu Xiangye glanced at her, picked up her schoolbag and turned to walk out, "Come to me when you get home."
