Chapter 27 I Waited for You for a Day
Li Zexi and Chen Mengru spent a day shopping in the commercial street and bought two reasonably priced candy-bar cell phones.
Then we had lunch and dinner together, and until the evening when it was getting dark, we took the bus back to school.
Li Zexi sent Chen Mengru downstairs to the dormitory and reminded her: "You have saved my number in your phone, call me if you need anything.
In addition, I will monitor your learning progress at any time. Please remember to read the books I just bought for you when you go back. ”
Chen Mengru nodded: "Brother, what you told me today is that I don't need to take the professional courses too seriously, as long as I can pass them, is that true?"
Li Zexi hummed.
Chen Mengru looked puzzled: "I don't understand, why?"
Li Zexi had no expression on his face: "Just listen to me, no need to ask more questions. With your current perspective, it will be difficult for you to understand even if I explain it to you."
Chen Mengru: "..."
Chen Mengru grabbed Li Zexi's arm and shook it: "Brother, why do I feel like you think I'm mentally retarded?"
Li Zexi said: "I don't have any."
Chen Mengru leaned closer and whispered, "Is the future world really dominated by the Internet? You asked me to learn English and study those books on programming and network operations that you bought for me, just to prepare for a smooth career change in the future?"
Li Zexi pushed away Chen Mengru's head that was sticking to him:
"Yes, in the future, people's food, clothing, housing and transportation will all be closely related to the Internet. Without the Internet, you may not be able to survive for a day."
"Really? But I've never been exposed to this before. I just flipped through a few pages and I can't understand it at all. I'm afraid I can't learn it."
Li Zexi said seriously: "Even if you can't learn it, you have to learn it. I will learn with you. If you don't understand, just ask me."
Chen Mengru looked depressed: "Okay..."
Then he asked: "Brother, I like painting. If I can't learn anything from the Internet, can I focus more on painting?"
Li Zexi glanced at her.
Of course he knew that Chen Mengru liked painting. In his previous life, there were hundreds of sketches, cartoon characters, anime IDs, watercolors and oil paintings drawn in his spare time in his bedroom.
As he grew up, he found that these things were not necessities of life. They could be used as an adjustment but could not help his future.
I am busy running between work and family every day.
Painting was never mentioned again, and the sketchbook and this little hobby were all sealed in a corner, covered with thick dust.
He would not let Chen Mengru waste any more time doing these useless things.
Looking at Chen Mengru's eyes that were shining with expectation, Li Zexi replied without hesitation: "No..."
Chen Mengru's eyes dimmed and her face deflated into a ball of anger.
Li Zexi sighed softly, walked forward and gently hugged Chen Mengru, and whispered in her ear:
"If you want to live your ideal life in the future, to make sure your father, mother, and sister have enough food and clothing, and to cross the class and stand at a higher position, you must listen to me, understand?"
Chen Mengru paused.
My heart beat wildly for a few seconds.
After a while, he nodded obediently.
Li Zexi let her go and said gently: "Okay, go up. I will call you tomorrow morning to wake you up, and then we will go to the playground to memorize words together."
Chen Mengru lowered her head and said okay.
When I turned around to leave, I happened to meet Tian Guyu who was returning to the dormitory.
Tian Guyu then pulled Chen Mengru back to the dormitory.
On the way, she secretly glanced back at Li Zexi and asked with pursed lips: "Who is that boy? Is he your boyfriend?"
Chen Mengru moved the bag in her left hand to her right hand and replied: "Of course not."
Tian Guyu obviously didn't believe it and was very gossipy. "No? I just saw him hugging you. How could he hug you if he wasn't your boyfriend?"
Chen Mengru cried out: "No, he is my brother."
"Your brother?" Tian Guyu looked mysterious: "Is your brother so handsome? Can you help me get in touch with your brother later?"
The two of them went up to the third floor, and Chen Mengru asked curiously: "No, why do you know my brother?"
Tian Guyu said, "What nonsense! Of course I want to pursue him. What else can I do?"
Chen Mengru almost choked, swallowed and said: "No..."
Tian Guyu glanced at her: "Why not? He has a girlfriend?"
"No……"
"Why not? Oh... do you like your brother? Are you afraid that I'll take him away from you?"
Chen Mengru was speechless: "What are you talking about? My brother won't like you. He doesn't like your type."
Tian Guyu is the kind of girl who is pretty, mature, bold and extroverted.
Competitive, with a strong desire to win.
The more she said no, the more interested she became.
Arriving at the dormitory door, Tian Guyu snorted and said, "I can get anything I like. I'm waiting for the day when you call me sister-in-law."
After saying that, he raised his eyebrows and walked in humming a song.
Chen Mengru really wanted to kick her in the butt.
She thought about it and decided to inform Li Zexi in advance.
He took out his phone and sent a message to Li Zexi: "Brother, you are in trouble. Someone is targeting you. Run away quickly."
A few seconds later, Li Zexi replied:?
Chen Mengru: Do you still remember the girl who shared the same dormitory with me, Tian Guyu? The girl you told me not to get too close to.
Li Zexi: I know, what’s wrong with her?
Chen Mengru: She just saw you downstairs. Somehow, she suddenly became interested in you and said she wanted to pursue you?
Li Zexi: ...Don't pay attention to her, she is a green tea girl who says one thing in front of others and another behind their backs. Stay away from her.
Chen: But she usually treats me very well and always buys me small gifts, lipsticks, cosmetics and so on.
Li Zexi quickly replied: These are all tricks to win people's hearts, don't be fooled by her appearance.
Chen Mengru paused for a few seconds and sent a message: Brother, how do you know her so well? Has she ever offended you before?
Oh, it’s more than just offense.
Li Zexi didn't want to say so much, and casually said: No, don't forget that I can read faces. Tian Guyu's face shows harshness and right and wrong. In her eyes, there is only usefulness and uselessness, not right or wrong.
After a while, Chen Mengru replied:
Brother, you... ? Okay, I'll listen to you.
However, Tian Guyu is not so easy to deal with. If she says she likes you, she will definitely take action. You'd better be careful these days.
Li Zexi snorted contemptuously and said to himself: Would I be afraid of her?
"Who are you afraid of?" Guo Kai on the side suddenly spoke up and asked.
Li Zexi looked up from his phone: "Oh, nothing."
Guo Kai sat in front of the computer, staring at Li Zexi motionlessly, and asked: "I haven't seen you all day today, where have you been?"
Li Zexi replied while changing into slippers: "I went to the shopping street."
Guo: "On your own? Or with someone else?"
Li Zexi held the water cup, took a big gulp of water, and glanced at him: "What does it have to do with you?"
Guo Kai let go of the mouse, leaned back, and said with a stern face: "Answer me."
Li Zexi grinned and said, "I won't...if you hit me, I'll stuff it in."
Guo Kai's eyes widened: "You..."
Li Zexi picked up the basin and decided to go to the bathroom to take a shower first. After being outside in the wind and dust all day, his face felt covered with a layer of dust.
Guo Kai suddenly lowered his voice and said with a slightly aggrieved tone: "I've been waiting for you in the dormitory for a whole day, how can you talk to me like this?"
Li Zexi: "..."
