Wang Mengqi suddenly felt that her food didn't taste good anymore, and she wanted to go to Xiao Ruoyan's place to get some more, but Xu Xiu stopped her, saying, "Wang Mengqi, don't go too far, know when to stop. Didn't you say you didn't like it? Don't eat it!"
"Xu Xiu, give... Mengqi something to eat, it'll be alright..."
"You don't even have enough to eat yourself, yet you're thinking about others. Hurry up and eat yours."
After saying that, Xu Xiu looked at Wang Mengqi and said, "I'll invite you two to my house for a meal on Sunday. Look at how pathetic you two are."
Wang Mengqi was overjoyed upon hearing this and instantly transformed into a little fangirl, "Xu Xiu, why is your cooking so delicious?"
"Because I'm handsome!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Bufan spat out a mouthful of rice onto Xu Xiu. Xiao Ruoyan and Wang Mengqi burst into laughter at Xu Xiu's reaction, but Wang Mengqi laughed heartily while Xiao Ruoyan lowered her head and chuckled.
Liu Qianxue saw all of this. Xu Xiu stood up to go to the toilet to clean up, and Ning Bufan quickly apologized, afraid that he would be beaten if he apologized too late.
Xu Xiu saw Xiao Ruoyan with her head down, smiling foolishly, and for some reason felt particularly sad.
Perhaps in that thick diary from her past life, not only were her longing for herself recorded, but also all her own suffering.
I'm in a good mood today and don't want to argue with Ning Bufan.
During the afternoon class, Xu Xiu had already written down the parts he didn't understand and some important content from Liu Qianxue's class notes, and planned to return the notes after class.
After being reborn, it seemed as if his brain and learning ability had returned. Coupled with his experience and knowledge from his previous life, and most importantly, his self-control, Xu Xiu felt that he learned knowledge points particularly quickly.
As for any system cheat codes or anything like that, I never expected them. I'm in charge of my own life, why would I need a system?
After class, he walked up to Liu Qianxue with his notebook and said seriously, "Thank you very much for your help, Liu Qianxue."
After saying that, he turned around and went back to his seat to start supervising Xiao Ruoyan, patiently guiding her when he found any problems.
Liu Qianxue saw that Xu Xiu turned around and left without waiting for her reply after he finished speaking. In the past, even if there was nothing to say, Xu Xiu would find a topic to talk about.
Moreover, his gaze had always been gentle, but why, starting yesterday, did I only feel indifference in his eyes?
A strong sense of crisis welled up inside me. Wasn't it just yesterday that I rejected him? But it wasn't the first time. Didn't I say I'd think about it after I went to university?
I never said I wouldn't accept him. What's wrong with wanting to focus on getting into a good university during this time? Do we have to be in a relationship first?
At this moment, Liu Qianxue still believed that she had not done anything wrong, but she had always been accepting Xu Xiu's kindness while keeping her distance from him and severing ties with him.
Since you want to study hard, why not just be decisive and let the other person give up completely?
The two were classmates in junior high school. At first, they were just good friends who could talk about anything. After entering high school, Xu Xiu began to express his feelings, but Liu Qianxue always ignored him and pretended not to understand.
Moreover, she takes Xu Xiu's kindness for granted, and Xu Xiu is the first person she thinks of whenever she encounters any problem. In particular, Xu Xiu is very capable and there is nothing he cannot do, so he is extremely cost-effective for her.
This gave Xu Xiu the illusion that as long as he treated her wholeheartedly, she would eventually be moved by him.
It wasn't until Xu Xiugong achieved fame and success in his previous life that he realized he had been moved in vain. No matter how much you do for someone who doesn't care about you, it's useless, and those who do care about you simply can't bear to see you do so much.
Liu Qianxue was still in a daze, and Fang Xiaoxiao was also a little annoyed. Originally, when Xu Xiu went shopping with Liu Qianxue, he would bring her a portion of whatever delicious food he bought.
Now, forget about bringing her food; it's considered good if she doesn't argue with me when we meet.
For the next few days, Xu Xiu brought Xiao Ruoyan breakfast and lunch every day, and even increased the portions, mainly because some people are shameless and try to freeload.
These past few days, Liu Qianxue has been very irritable. She can't concentrate in class and doesn't eat much. Xu Xiu used to bring her all sorts of delicious food every day, but now she has to eat communal meals in the cafeteria.
This is the first time I've ever felt that the food in the cafeteria is so bad. Although many boys like Liu Qianxue, very few can actually be as good as Xu Xiu.
Seeing Xu Xiu and the other three chatting and laughing every day, her resentment grew stronger and stronger. Fang Xiao's words that Xu Xiu would turn back in a few days now seemed like a complete joke.
Always proud and arrogant, she absolutely refused to be ignored like this.
Because it's the senior year of high school, there are no weekends off in preparation for the college entrance examination. They only have Sunday off, and the first and second year students are off on Saturday. Only a few senior year classes are in session, so there are noticeably fewer students in the cafeteria that day.
Xiao Ruoyan's complexion has improved significantly these past few days thanks to Xu Xiu's various delicious meals. She also stutters less when speaking to Xu Xiu and dares to raise her head slightly to look at him when she speaks.
The four of them were having lunch in the cafeteria. Fang Xueting had gotten up early to prepare breakfast this morning. She had been eating her son's breakfast every day for the past few days, and she had gone from being shocked at first to slowly accepting it.
I didn't sleep a wink last night and discussed with my husband that we should go back to our hometown on Saturday to see if there's any auspicious smoke rising from our ancestral graves.
When Xu Xiu woke up in the morning, he heard his mother say that they were going back to their hometown to pay respects to their ancestors. Xu Xiu suddenly asked, "Mom, which ancestor are you paying respects to?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was beaten. Fang Xueting had been holding back these past few days. His son had suddenly become obedient and capable, and he couldn't find a reason to beat him.
The only difference is that they used to fight for real, but this time it's just playful fighting.
“Both ancestors need to be worshipped, so I probably won’t be able to make it back on Sunday. Anyway, you’re a great cook, so you can take care of your own meals.”
Just as the four were chatting, Liu Qianxue came over with a tray of food, sat down next to Xu Xiu, and whispered, "Xu Xiu, let's go to the library to read books on Sunday?"
Xu Xiuzheng, with his head down and eating, replied without looking up, "No time."
If it were in the past, Xu Xiu would probably have woken up laughing in his sleep, but now he couldn't muster the slightest interest in it.
Seeing Xu Xiu's refusal so decisively, Liu Qianxue felt even more distressed, as if something was stuck in her chest.
Is this what it feels like to be rejected?
The surrounding classmates also found it strange that Liu Qianxue took the initiative to talk to Xu Xiu. Fang Xiaoxiao was eating alone not far away. Just now, Liu Qianxue was going to talk to Xu Xiu about something.
Fang Xiaoxiao had begun to doubt her own words these past few days, so she didn't stop her from saying anything more.
Seeing that Liu Qianxue was still sitting next to him and showed no sign of leaving, Xu Xiu asked Xiao Ruoyan directly, "Have you finished eating?"
Xiao Ruoyan had actually finished eating long ago, but when she saw Liu Qianxue sit down, she became so nervous that she didn't know what to do. Ning Bufan and Wang Mengqi, on the other hand, didn't care and were just watching the show from the sidelines.
"I'm...I'm done eating."
"Let's go now that we've finished eating. We still have a bunch of problems to do back in class."
After saying that, Xu Xiu stood up and walked towards the cafeteria entrance, completely ignoring Liu Qianxue's presence.
