Perfect Match

Seeing her dazed look, you can tell she takes it seriously.

Song Chengrui immediately smiled. "Just kidding."

"You..." Xu Zhi wanted to laugh, but he was helpless.

Song Chengrui looked at her seriously at this moment, "The teacher really came to see me."

Xu Zhiyi listened attentively again, and the next second Song Chengrui spoke: "He said I made progress this time and won't skip class anymore..."

"real?"

Xu Zhiyi still didn't quite believe it.

"Really? Otherwise, what do you think the teacher will ask me?"

"nothing."

Xu Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief.

Song Chengrui deliberately moved closer and whispered in her ear.

"Why does someone seem a little disappointed? What? The teacher didn't ask me the key questions, right?"

Xu Zhiyi immediately retorted, "No! That's not it! You're talking nonsense!"

Song Chengrui immediately burst into laughter, looking triumphant. "I haven't even told you yet, and you're already anxious!"

"I didn't! Song Chengrui, if you talk nonsense, I will beat you!"

Song Chengrui closed his eyes, looking like he accepted it. "Come on, hit me as much as you want, whatever you want."

Because he was so shameless, Xu Zhiyi didn't have the heart to hit him. His face turned red with anger and he stomped his feet hard.

"Scoundrel!"

-

Early the next morning, breakfast was placed on Xu Zhiyi's table.

A cup of soy milk and two buns.

She subconsciously looked in the direction of Song Chengrui, only to see that he was still reading a book and didn't look up to pay attention to her.

Her deskmate secretly told her that when she came in the morning, she happened to see Song Chengrui put these things on her desk.

Xu Zhiyi understood immediately and the corners of his mouth curled up.

It turns out that when you are looking forward to something, time will become very slow.

Xu Zhiyi spent the whole day trying to find time to talk to Song Chengrui, but not only were their seats separated by an aisle, they couldn't even get together for group activities.

Sometimes she wanted to find an opportunity to do the duty with Song Chengrui, but Zheng Yan, who was quick-handed, snatched it away and did it all.

Finally, it was time for the break. This time, Xu Zhiyi stood two rows in the back, side by side with Song Chengrui.

"Have you had breakfast?"

Xu Zhiyi smiled slightly, "Very sweet."

"Do you like it?"

Xu Zhiyi nodded, "Yes, thank you."

"Thank you again, I won't bring it to you next time."

Xu Zhiyi also became arrogant, "Then if you have the guts, don't bring it!"

Song Chengrui had a smile on his face, feeling particularly aggrieved, "I'm incompetent~"

Xu Zhiyi was so amused that he laughed out loud, and he could hardly suppress the smile on his face.

But she was also a little worried that if they were too ostentatious, it would attract the teacher's attention.

After more than half a month of buffer time, Zhang Ningxia finally came back to life and was not so sad anymore.

On this day, everyone was discussing a short web drama. Not only was the heroine's outfit beautiful, but even the cat fishing hairpin on her head became popular.

"Zhi Yi, Zhi Yi!"

Xu Zhiyi was writing an English test paper when she was interrupted by Zhang Ningxia. She lay down in front of Xu Zhiyi with a particularly pitiful look in her eyes.

"Zhiyi, look at this, isn't it beautiful?"

Xu Zhiyi took a glance and nodded, "It looks good."

Zhang Ningxia sighed, "Yeah, I think it's pretty too. Currently, only Gu Zhen from the next class has it."

She held the character poster with a sad face, "Zhiyi, I want one too."

"Buy it." Xu Zhiyi didn't even raise her head. She didn't understand. It was just a hairpin. Was it worth everyone's attention?

“I don’t know where to find it offline.”

"Then I'll just shop online and buy it when I get home in the evening."

“It’s sold out online.”

“…”

Xu Zhiyi finally raised his head, "Then tell me, you want to..."

"Um……"

"Gu Zhen and I are not familiar with each other."

"But Song Chengrui and Gu Zhen were classmates in junior high school. Please help me this time, please! I really want it..."

Zhang Ningxia clasped her hands together and looked at him sincerely, and Xu Zhiyi finally softened her heart.

"Okay, I'll ask for you after class, but I can't guarantee I'll get the answer."

"OK! Thank you, sister!"

After class, Xu Zhiyi stood in the corridor waiting for Song Chengrui.

When he came over, she looked around deliberately.

Song Chengrui was amused. "What are you doing? You look like a thief."

Xu Zhiyi rolled his eyes at him again, "Why are you so slow? You said you'd come after class."

Song Chengrui immediately apologized, "Sorry, I went to the bathroom first."

"never mind."

Xu Zhiyi got straight to the point. "Um... let me ask you something. Do you know Gu Zhen from the class next door?"

"yes."

Song Chengrui immediately became alert, "Why, is she causing you trouble?"

"What kind of trouble can she cause me? I'm not familiar with her. Recently, Ningxia has taken a fancy to Gu Zhen's new hairpin and wants me to help her ask Gu Zhen where she bought it."

Song Chengrui scratched his head. "Oh, so you're looking for my help? Sure, leave it to me."

"It's to help Ningxia, not me."

Song Chengrui smiled knowingly and immediately understood, "Okay, okay, it's the classmates who are helping Xu Zhiyi, not Xu Zhiyi herself~"

"Song Chengrui!"

Xu Zhiyi glared at him and ran away angrily.

Song Chengrui was extremely efficient and got the address the next day.

"I bought it in an old handicraft shop in a remote alley. The grandfather who runs the shop can make anything, as long as he has the materials."

He handed over the slip of paper with the address written on it. "Here, this is the address she wrote. It's a bit remote, so it might not be easy to find."

Xu Zhiyi took the note, smiled and nodded, "Thank you, I'll tell Ningxia right away."

He leaned down and lowered his voice so only the two of them could hear each other. "Just a thank you? Nothing else?"

Xu Zhiyi quickly pushed him away, her cheeks slightly hot, "Let's talk about it later!"

She ran away with a red face, feeling a little scared. Song Chengrui was getting bolder and bolder.

When Zhang Ningxia got the address, she was so excited that she almost jumped up.

"I love you so much Zhiyi, I'll go there this weekend!"

As a result, after the weekend, Zhang Ningxia came back with a depressed look on her face.

"Zhiyi, my life is so miserable. I can't find that place at all. I walked through that alley like a ghost for the whole afternoon. I'm so tired."

"I asked around and everyone said they didn't know this place. Is the address wrong?"

Xu Zhiyi frowned, a little surprised, "Shouldn't it be... right?"

Zhang Ningxia wanted to cry, but she couldn't. "Perhaps... this... means that I'm not meant to be with that hairpin..."

Seeing the other person so disappointed, Xu Zhiyi felt a little uncomfortable.

As soon as the get out of class was over, she went to find Song Chengrui to confirm.

"Ningxia said they couldn't find that place..."

"Didn't find it?" Song Chengrui was a little confused. "Gu Zhen wouldn't lie to me, would she? So, I'll go there this weekend and tell you the specific location if I find it."

"This... is too much trouble for you..."

"Are we still arguing about this?"

Song Chengrui winked at her and smiled, "Wait for my news."

On the weekend, Xu Zhiyi was doing homework when the phone at home rang.

"Hello~"

"I found the address." It was Song Chengrui's voice. "I'm just not sure if this hairpin is what you want. Does Zhang Ningxia have time? You can ask her to come and take a look."

Xu Zhiyi was a little embarrassed. "Her grandmother was hospitalized these two days. She went back to her hometown and probably won't be back for a while."

"……That……"

"Just tell me the route and I'll write it down. Then you can wait for me at the intersection."

"Okay, I'll wait for you then."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Zhiyi quickly packed up his homework and took the house key with him.

She changed her clothes on purpose and curled her hair again with a curling iron. She wrapped the hair on both sides of her head, leaving only a pair of airy bangs.

After cleaning up, she went out with satisfaction and took the bus to the south of the city at the gate of the community.

Today is a rare sunny day. Although it is cold, the sun is still warm on her body. She sits in the car, watching the shops in the city getting farther and farther away, but her heart is unusually relaxed, as if she is a bird released from a cage and regains her freedom.

After taking two buses, Xu Zhiyi finally arrived at the agreed location. She saw Song Chengrui sitting on the back seat of a bicycle from a distance, looking relaxed and comfortable.

Xu Zhiyi took a deep breath and walked over.

Hearing the footsteps, Song Chengrui stood up, his eyes lit up, "Wow, you're here pretty fast."

"I'm afraid you'll wait too long."

Song Chengrui seemed to be thinking about something. "Well, I forgot to tell you to slow down."

"Let's go."

"good."

Xu Zhiyi followed Song Chengrui around for a long time and finally stopped in front of a shabby shop.

"This place is indeed a little hard to find."

"Yes, because there is a fork in the road in the alley. The left and right sides correspond to two streets respectively. If you take the wrong road, it's like going halfway around the mountain. No wonder Zhang Ningxia ran for an entire afternoon and couldn't find it."

After the two went in, they saw the hairpin picture of the kitten fishing printed and posted in the most conspicuous place. It seemed that many people had come to look for it recently.

The old man in the shop said, "Little girl, there is only one left, and it is given to this young man. If you want to buy this hairpin, you have to wait until after the Chinese New Year."

Song Chengrui interrupted in time, "Grandpa, I found it for her. The material package just now was also for her. You just need to do it."

The grandfather was stunned for a moment, then he understood.

"Oh, okay, okay."

It took some time to make this handicraft, so Song Chengrui took Xu Zhiyi to take a walk nearby.

"This time... it's all thanks to you..."

Song Chengrui said with a grin, "Then I wonder if there's any errand fee or something like that?"

Xu Zhiyi waved his hand and took out a 50-yuan bill.

"Come, I'll treat you to milk tea. You can choose from any brand you want."

"Oh, so generous, I have to drink a lot!"

After saying that, he deliberately made a very exaggerated gesture, which made Xu Zhiyi laugh.

"However, when I came here just now, I saw a fried chicken shop that was selling really good food. I wonder how it tastes." Song Chengrui tilted his head, staring at Xu Zhiyi and suggested, "How about it, are you interested in going with me to check out a shop? I'll treat you!"

Xu Zhiyi was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Okay. Milk tea and fried chicken, a perfect match!"

After Xu Zhiyi finished saying this, Song Chengrui turned around and looked at her with a smile on his face.

"Yeah, a perfect match."

But the way Xu Zhiyi looked at him seemed not to be talking about milk tea and fried chicken.
