Xiao Ruoyan followed silently behind with her head down, while Ning Bufan and Wang Mengqi, with knowing expressions, also got up and followed.
As Liu Qianxue watched Xu Xiu's departing figure, her eyes inexplicably welled up with tears. Feeling deeply wronged, she thought to herself, "Am I really that unpopular?"
At this moment, Fang Xiaoxiao walked to Liu Qianxue's side and comforted her, "Qianxue, it's not worth it for someone like him. With your conditions and family background, what kind of boy can't you find after going to university?"
Liu Qianxue ignored Fang Xiaoxiao and continued eating with her head down. By this time, the food was already cold, and she felt even more aggrieved after eating it.
Thinking about all that has happened in the past...
"Qianxue, focus on your reading. I'll get you your food. Just tell me what you want to eat."
Originally, someone would bring a thermal container to serve me food, so I could always have a hot meal no matter when I ate in winter.
When someone is pampered, they feel that everything should be this way. But once they lose that pampering, they suddenly realize that they can't live without it anymore.
Xu Xiu and the others returned to the classroom and began working on their own problems. Their study group of four was surprisingly effective; in just a few days, everyone seemed to have made progress.
Xu Xiu has adapted to his identity as a senior high school student, and his study habits are getting better and better. Xiao Ruoyan's heart is no longer restless, and she only has one goal in mind: to be second in the grade.
Ning Bufan and Wang Mengqi were already in the middle to upper range of grades. These past few days, they have been studying with Xu Xiu, and they feel that as long as they keep at it, their mock exam scores will definitely improve.
Li Hansong has witnessed the performance of these four students over the past few days. It's rare to see students who study so diligently these days; it really feels like they are studying for their own benefit.
Liu Qianxue walked into the classroom somewhat absentmindedly and saw Xu Xiu and Xiao Ruoyan whispering to each other from time to time. Moreover, Xu Xiu used to only look at her with that kind of gaze.
After the afternoon classes, Liu Qianxue felt like she hadn't absorbed anything. At dinner, Xu Xiu naturally helped Xiao Ruoyan get her food. The cafeteria lady had become quite familiar with Xu Xiu over the past few days.
No matter who gets the food, they always give an extra half spoonful. Xu Xiu also asks the cafeteria lady to swipe a little more money on his card. It's okay once or twice, but giving extra food every meal is not acceptable.
The four were eating when Liu Qianxue sat down again, asking the same question as at noon: "Shall we go to the library together on Sunday?"
Xu Xiu had a slight headache and said in a low voice, "These three people in front of you are going to my house for dinner on Sunday, so they won't have time to go to the library."
Can I come along?
Liu Qianxue asked in a low voice.
"No, my house isn't a place where just anyone can go."
As soon as these words were spoken, the onlookers at the surrounding tables began to whisper among themselves, and the atmosphere became a little awkward. Ning Bufan and Wang Mengqi lowered their heads and ate, not daring to make a sound.
Xiao Ruoyan lowered her head, but she was very happy inside. Xu Xiu had said that not just anyone could go to his house. Was it more important to him that she could go?
Xu Xiu paused and continued in a low voice, "And I won't cook for people who aren't important to me."
After saying that, he glanced at everyone and said, "Have you all finished eating? If you have, hurry up and leave. Time is money, so hurry up and study. The college entrance exam is in a few months."
Ning Bufan and Wang Mengqi quickly ate a few bites, as if they were facing their homeroom teacher. Xiao Ruoyan had already finished eating; she had noticeably sped up her eating pace in the past few days.
She already eats a lot, and now she eats even faster... it's just... indescribable!
After finishing their meal, the four of them stood up and hurriedly returned to the classroom.
Liu Qianxue was already in tears; Xu Xiu's casual, insignificant words seemed to be constantly piercing her heart.
The surrounding classmates also hurriedly slipped away, afraid of being angered by Liu Qianxue, as they had witnessed her temper before.
During the evening self-study break, Xu Xiu told Xiao Ruoyan that he, Wang Mengqi, and Ning Bufan would pick her up from school the next morning. Except for Xiao Ruoyan, the others were all day students who preferred to live on campus and chose to travel between home and school every day.
After school, Xu Xiu and Ning Bufan left the school together, while Wang Mengqi and other female classmates went home together.
Liu Qianxue and Fang Xiaoxiao sat in the car that Qianxue's family used to pick them up every day. Liu Qianxue remained silent the whole way, and Fang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but complain.
"Qianxue and Xu Xiu leaving you is his loss. Don't take it too hard. There are plenty of good guys out there."
Liu Qianxue gazed at the streetlights flashing past the car window and whispered, "Xiaoxiao, didn't you say he would come back to find me in a few days?"
"this......"
Faced with this sudden question, Fang Xiaoxiao didn't know how to answer. She had searched online and that's what everyone said. Why was Xu Xiu so decisive? Could someone who had liked someone for 5-6 years just let go like that?
When Liu Qianxue returned home that evening, she sat blankly by the window, lost in thought. In her school dormitory, Xiao Ruoyan was also staring blankly out the window, both filled with doubt.
Early Sunday morning, Xu Xiu called a car and went to pick up Ning Bufan first.
Wang Mengqi said she was going to school and they agreed to meet there.
Xiao Ruoyan specially brought out a brand new pair of sneakers today. Although the shoes she usually wore were clean, their surfaces were visibly damaged.
After searching through the closet for a long time, she only found a 70% new sweatshirt. This was her newest piece of clothing. Her school uniform had been worn down to a gradient color, and the cuffs and hems were severely worn.
Other students try not to wear school uniforms unless absolutely necessary, because they think they look too ugly.
Xiao Ruoyan was a student from a poor family, and the school provided her with subsidies to ensure her basic food expenses and personal hygiene. In addition to her basic living expenses, she saved any extra money and sent it home once a quarter.
Xiao Ruoyan has two sets of school uniforms for each season, so she basically wears the school uniform all the time. Her classmates don't find it strange, since there is some competition among students at school.
Today, when I went to Xu Xiu's house, I made a point of wearing my only fleece-lined sweatshirt and a pair of jeans that had already faded from washing.
Just as she came out of the dormitory, she ran into Xu Xiu and his group downstairs. In Xu Xiu's memory, this was the first time Xiao Ruoyan was not wearing her school uniform.
Although the clothes and pants were old, they were clean and refreshing, especially when paired with Xiao Ruoyan's perfect figure, making Xu Xiu unable to take his eyes off them.
Seeing Xu Xiu staring intently at her, Wang Mengqi quickly stepped forward to block Xiao Ruoyan and threatened, "Xu Xiu, don't think you can bribe me by inviting me to dinner."
"If you dare to make a move on Xiao Ruoyan, I'll never forgive you!"
Xu Xiu waved his hand helplessly, called out to everyone to walk out of the school gate together, where the car was still waiting.
The four got into the car and drove towards Xu Xiu's residential area. When they arrived at the entrance, Xu Xiu greeted the security guard, and then the car drove directly into the villa's underground parking garage.
Although the family has a car, he hasn't gotten his driver's license yet, so he can't drive it. He enters the villa from the underground parking lot. There are two floors below and three floors above. Ning Bufan often comes to visit, so it's not anything new to him.
Wang Mengqi's family is also well-off. Although their villa isn't as big as Xu Xiu's, they're still considered quite wealthy, so it's not surprising.
