Chapter 55 Chapter 55 No, I’ll give you a ride.
The ride on Sunday was scheduled for nine o'clock. Xu You and Zhou Yanshen arrived at Xin Ai's house a few minutes early. Everyone in the Xin family knew that the two were Xin Ai's childhood friends and they had a close relationship, so they naturally would not stop them. The two parked their bicycles and entered the house unimpeded.
Xu You and Zhou Yanshen met the two elders of the Xin family in the restaurant. They greeted them politely and called them obediently: "Aunt Xin, Uncle Xin..."
Chen Yu and Xin En were also familiar with the two. On the one hand, they were neighbors' children and they had watched them grow up; on the other hand, the two children had grown up playing with Xin Ai and had a close relationship with them.
When they were out, the two of them took good care of Xin Ai. Chen Yu and Xin En were also very grateful and looked after Xu You and Zhou Yanshen as if they were their own children.
Xin En was very welcoming when she saw the two people. She smiled and entertained them: "Hey, Xu You, Zhou Yanshen, you guys came to play with Xin Ai. Have you had breakfast? If not, you can have breakfast at Auntie's house."
Xu You was terrified. He waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I've eaten at home."
Everyone knows that Xin’s health-preserving meals don’t have any seasonings.
It’s not like he hasn’t eaten it before.
Others dare not say it, but he dares to say it’s unpalatable.
Only Xin Ai can eat it.
Zhou Yanshen also firmly refused: "I have already eaten, and I am very full."
...I really can't eat this kind of bland food without salt, oil or seasoning.
Xin En didn't force it. She said, "Forget it. You guys can have a good chat with Xin Ai and Fu Xize. They've almost finished eating."
After saying this, Xin En left with Shen Yu. She and Shen Yu had already finished breakfast and were just chatting with Xin Ai and Fu Xize. Now that Zhou Yanshen and Xu You came over, she stood up and made room for these younger generations. It was inevitable that children would feel uncomfortable with adults present.
Xu You and Zhou Yanshen naturally noticed Fu Xize. It would be a lie to say they were not surprised, but they soon got used to it.
They stayed up late last night and drank a lot. Given Xin Ai's personality, it was normal for him to stay overnight. Didn't Xu You also ask Zhou Yanshen to stay overnight?
They grew up together, so they can't tell the difference so clearly.
Zhou Yanshen even recognized the clothes on Fu Xize. They were Xin Ai's. Xin Ai wore this windproof jacket when she was in her senior year of high school.
But Zhou Yanshen has already adjusted his mentality and he is very calm about it.
It is only natural for the Crown Princess to wear the Crown Prince's clothes.
Xin Ai and Fu Xize had finished breakfast. Seeing Xu You and Zhou Yanshen coming over, Xin Ai picked up the cycling equipment and said, "We just finished breakfast. Let's go to the garage to get the bike first."
Fu Xize helped to pick up the bag of cycling equipment, and the group walked and chatted as they went to the garage to get their bicycles.
Xin Ai was a child with a lot of material things. His mother Xin En also loved to buy things for him. Ever since Xin Ai started learning to ride a bicycle in elementary school, he would buy a new bicycle every one or two years. Even the cheapest one would cost five figures. Mountain bikes are generally sturdy and not easy to break down. Xin Ai didn't like to throw away old things, so he had saved up enough money to buy six bicycles at a young age.
Xin Ai opened the garage, showed Fu Xize his cars, and invited him generously: "You can choose any of my cars."
Fu Xize and Xin Ai went to the same school and had heard a lot about Xin Ai.
Bicycles are among them.
This guy rides a bicycle to school, but it's not certain when he goes home. Sometimes his mother picks him up after get off work, sometimes the family driver picks him up when it rains, and sometimes he just sits in the back seat when he goes with friends.
In Beijing, where every inch of land is valuable, a high school is only the size of a palm. Xin Ai's bicycles were parked in a row at school, taking up space. He often forgot to lock them. His bicycles were not cheap, so his class teacher reminded him during class: "Some students, don't always park your bicycles at school, as they are easy to lose. Try to ride your bicycles home every day. It is enough to leave one at school..."
Xin Ai didn't listen to the teacher's nagging before class. He concentrated on painting with his brush. When he came to his senses, he found that the whole class was looking at him. He suddenly realized something: "Are you talking about me?"
The head teacher's forehead twitched: "Who else but you?"
Xin Ai was puzzled: "What's the matter?"
There was constant laughter in the class.
The head teacher said seriously: "Bicycle, remember to ride it back home."
Xin Ai thought of the bicycle he had left at school. It really took up a lot of space. He said, "Oh, I'll ride it back slowly later."
So, for a week, Xu You picked him up from school every day, and he rode his bike home every day.
Students of the affiliated high school have discussed privately that if it weren't for the class teacher's request, Xin Ai's bicycles would fill up the school garage.
Don’t have a bicycle at home? Buy one.
Now, Fu Xize saw Xin Ai's favorite bikes with his own eyes, and thinking about these things again, he shook his head and laughed. He picked up a black one at random and helped it out. He remembered very clearly that Xin Ai preferred to ride the white mountain bike in his senior year of high school, so he didn't want to take away someone else's favorite bike.
Seeing that Fu Xize had chosen a bicycle, Xin Ai took a wet tissue and wiped it for him. The people he hired at home would help him maintain the bicycles regularly, but it was inevitable that they were not thorough enough, and Fu Xize... He always felt that Fu Xize had a slight mysophobia, and even if he was not, he still loved cleanliness.
Xin Ai simply wiped off the dust and helped him adjust the seat.
Fu Xize had never ridden this bike before, so Xin Ai was a little worried: "Can you do it? If not, I'll give you a ride."
Fu Xize glanced at him: "It's just riding a bicycle."
Xin Ai pursed his lips and smiled. He was indeed worried that it was not safe for Fu Xize to ride his bike, but Fu Xize was a pretty good rider and he could even eat breakfast while riding a bike.
After choosing their bicycles, packing their water bottles, putting on cycling helmets, and carrying some odds and ends on their backs, the four of them rode their bicycles away from the Xin family.
Plan your route while chatting casually.
The four of them first went to Zhou Yanshen's school, parked the car, and began to walk around the campus.
Their school has many classical Chinese buildings, many of which are famous landmarks. Xin Ai visited this place with Zhou Yanshen, Xu You, and Jiang Jingxing when he was in high school. However, this is not Xin Ai’s dream school, and he always visits it as a tourist attraction.
Now... it's a little different. His childhood friend goes to school here, and you immediately feel a connection to this school. It's an interesting experience. My best friend goes to the best school, and I'm proud of it.
As for Zhou Yanshen himself, after spending nearly two months at the school, he had many complaints: "These useless buildings take up too much space. It's 2013, and the school still has such a stupid design of getting on and getting off the bed."
Xu You looked at a student from a prestigious school and said, "How about I switch with you?"
Zhou Yanshen refused coldly: "No, don't you go to bed and get out of bed in school too?"
Xu You spread his hands: "I don't live on campus."
Zhou Yan sighed: "...envy."
As they walked and talked, Xin Ai even saw a banner hung in their school to celebrate the election of someone from their school as president.
Zhou Yanshen noticed Xin Ai's gaze and sighed: "There are so many black international students now."
After a pause, he skipped this boring topic and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to see our school's archery team first."
Xin Ai smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Zhou Yanshen was admitted to this school purely based on his academic scores in the college entrance examination, but he is also a member of the national archery team and has won various world-class medals.
Competitive sports require both talent and hard work. Zhou Yanshen is definitely talented and hardworking, but his academic performance is also top-notch and he comes from a wealthy family, so he has too many choices. His archery results are sometimes good and sometimes bad, and he is... not persistent enough.
The competition in the national archery team is very fierce. A lot of geniuses emerge in every Olympic cycle. Zhou Yanshen is overwhelmed. He has been learning archery since elementary school, but the archery team is full of talents. Every year, there are kids who are younger than him but equally talented and more hardworking than him emerging.
These kids are different from him. Many of them discovered their talent for archery in junior high school and started practicing archery.
Zhou Yanshen had been learning this since he was a child, but he still couldn't beat them. This feeling was incomparably painful.
Many times, Zhou Yanshen didn't know whether he should be thankful that his good family background and good cultural scores could provide him with a safety net, or whether he should be sad about it. If his family background and cultural scores were worse, he might have gambled everything and chosen archery.
Competitive sports have brought him too much frustration and failure.
Zhou Yanshen chose to escape this pain and study hard.
His academic performance has been consistently excellent since childhood.
Zhou Yanshen led a few people to the archery hall.
On Sunday morning, there were still a bunch of students practicing in the archery hall. Zhou Yanshen briefly introduced the situation of their school's archery team, and took them to visit the archery hall. Then he took out his pile of equipment and shot arrows with several friends in the archery hall.
Fu Xize was watching from the side and couldn't help but sigh at the quality of this professional player. The target was so far away and the target paper was so small, but Zhou Yanshen still scored ten rings steadily.
Even so, Zhou Yanshen would still feel depressed and distressed because of his poor grades.
Competitive sports are too cruel.
After visiting the archery hall, the four of them went to the cultural and creative products store.
Xin Ai thought that since it was a rare trip, he should buy something as a souvenir. He held up their school's T-shirt and tried to change his clothes to pretend to be a student of your school.
The four of them got together, picked out the appropriate sizes and went to check out.
Xin Ai went shopping in Xidan yesterday, relying on the phrase "Boss, can you make it cheaper?" to get through the shopping malls. During the shopping, there were various discounts. Today, she couldn't help but ask at the school's cultural and creative store: "Boss, can you make it cheaper?"
When the girl saw the handsome guy asking for a discount pitifully, she said, "Do you have a student ID? You can get a discount with a student ID."
Xin Ai quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes."
As he said this, he took out his student ID from the school next door.
girl:"……"
Hey handsome guy, are you being cute?
Zhou Yanshen held his forehead helplessly. He squeezed forward and handed over his student ID: "Take mine, take mine."
Relying on Zhou Yanshen's student ID, the four of them successfully got a discount.
Xin Ai took the clothes, cut the label directly, and put them on the outside. The long sleeves were layered over the short sleeves, which looked pretty good.
Fu Xize, Xu You and Zhou Yanshen also put them on and took photos together.
After visiting the cultural and creative supplies store, it was time for lunch.
Zhou Yanshen led the three of them to experience their school cafeteria. The cafeteria was just so-so, except that it was cheap and filling. Also, perhaps because it smelled better from afar but stinked up close, he always felt that the food was not as good as the one in the neighboring school.
After lunch, this part ended and they continued to ride their bikes to Xu You’s university.
Although Xu You was a bohemian and freedom-loving person, he was a genuine liberal arts student, studying law. His school was strong in liberal arts, and its law school was a double first-class school. He led the other three people to stroll in the square of their school, looked at the flock of pigeons, and said with disdain: "A bunch of stupid pigeons."
The pigeons in the school have been fed by the students and have become clingy and not afraid of strangers. When they see people coming, they don't fly away but come closer in a sticky manner.
Xu You smiled evilly and said, "Watch me defraud them."
As he said this, he made a gesture to feed the baby.
The pigeons have been fed so much that they have developed a conditioned reflex. When they see someone feeding them, they all move towards Xu You.
Xu You spread out his hands, and there was nothing in them.
The pigeon left with regret.
Xu You smiled proudly.
Xin Ai, Fu Xize: "..."
Zhou Yanshen: "..."
This man is so cruel that he even cheated pigeons.
Fu Xize is the president of the Small Animal Protection Association, and the pigeons of Xuyou School are famous, so when he came here, he bought some commercial food that pigeons like to eat at the canteen. Now he took out his schoolbag and distributed a few bags to each of them.
Xin Ai scattered the food in large quantities, and the pigeons came forward to eat.
Xin Ai squatted down and stroked the pigeons for a great time.
After this round of feeding was over, Xin Ai grabbed another handful and opened his palm, waiting for the pigeons to fly up and eat.
The pigeons in their school are really bold and clingy. A bunch of them flew up to eat the food in Xin Ai's hand, which was both clingy and fun.
Fu Xize took Xin Ai's camera and took a picture of him.
Xu You: “…”
This may be the reason why Xin Ai likes Fu Xize, he is attentive and gentle to small animals.
Unlike me, my first reaction when I saw the pigeons was that it was a scam.
The four of them stayed here until two o'clock, and then rode their bikes to Xin Ai School.
Xin Ai had team training in the afternoon, and Zhou Yanshen and Xu You had nothing to do, so they came over to watch Xin Ai play football.
Xin Ai changed into his soccer jersey and rode his bike to the football field to gather, then ran around the playground, stretched, and played football with the school football team members.
Fu Xize didn't have to go on the court, so he was practicing downstairs. He was too lazy to change his jersey, so he just changed his sneakers and juggled the ball.
Xu You was standing aside... pointing and saying: "This should be done like this... I'll teach you..."
The autumn sky was as blue as porcelain, with clouds slowly drifting over the school.
Xu You stared at Fu Xize, who was juggling the ball clumsily, in a daze.
Since childhood, he has been the one who practiced basketball with Xin Ai. Since junior high school, he and Xin Ai have been called the twin stars because they both played as small forwards.
What growing up feels like... one day your best friend has someone else around him.
Xu You felt a little lost, but that's probably what friends are like. They accompany you through a long period of time, and when you look back in the future, you will find that they are always there.
Xu You believed that Xin Ai would always be there.
Because he will always be there.
Thinking of this, Xu You smiled calmly and generously.
After the two-hour game, Xin Ai took a quick shower and invited his two friends to have dinner on the third floor of the cafeteria.
After the meal, Xin Ai took them to visit the campus under the moonlight and talked about life, ideals, and love...
It was not until half past nine, when it was getting late, that Zhou Yanshen and Xu You said goodbye and left.
