Tuesday night.
After finishing an evening self-study class, Zhou Xiu came to the Earl's party hall booked by Huaxu as scheduled.
When Zhou Xiu arrived, Huaxu happened to be calling Zhou Xiu and there was some noise on the other end of the line.
A surprised voice came from the phone: "Come on, come on, Xiuxiu, we are the only one missing. Let's sing in KTV."
This was Zhou Xiu’s first time visiting the party hall, an exquisite two-story villa that combined a bar, game room, KTV, board games and a hotel. Zhou Xiu found the KTV room and as soon as she walked in, she was dazzled by the dazzling light beam inside.
Yu Qingyan, Lan Xin and Yuan Ruoyi are singing. The boys compose the music, Tan Ming plays guitar and Xu Qing plays drums.
Huatui was squatting in the corner cutting and shuffling cards. She had gone home early to put on makeup and change her clothes. She was dressed very beautifully at the moment, with delicate makeup and slightly curled hair ends.
She was wearing a black miniskirt with a waistband, which exuded a hint of charm.
Huaxu's face was covered with white strips. When she saw Zhou Xiu, she waved to her excitedly: "Xiu Xiu, come here!"
The boys and girls who were playing with Huaxu raised their heads and their eyes fell on the girl standing at the door. She was wearing a white school uniform, had fair skin, and looked simple and clean. She seemed out of place in this noisy karaoke bar.
When Zhang Qi saw Zhou Xiu, he felt like he had seen a savior.
The other two boys and girls from other schools who didn’t know Zhou Xiu didn’t look up.
A girl with short hair and neat clothes asked: "Xu Xu, is this the foreign aid you are waiting for?"
She didn't even raise her eyelids, and her indifferent tone seemed to mock: Don't try to struggle, it's useless.
Zhang Qi glanced at Zhou Xiu, raised his lips and sneered at Lu Liu, throwing away the cards in his hand: "Don't underestimate the people in our school."
Zhang Qi gave Zhou Xiu a nickname on the spur of the moment. He spread out his palm and pointed at Zhou Xiu: "This is our - Xiu Shen!"
The girl from another school shrugged indifferently and said jokingly, "Zhang Qi, you should finish squatting for half an hour first."
Regardless of whether Zhou Xiu impressed others or not, Zhang Qi was so overwhelmed by the two top students from No. 4 Middle School that his scalp tingled.
The whole process was beaten.
Zhang Qi touched the white strip on his forehead that was almost blocking his vision, and curled his lips: Don’t you believe in their school’s show god?
After playing cards, Zhang Qi half-squatted in acceptance of defeat.
Zhou Xiu walked in and looked around. She took out the birthday present she had prepared long ago from her schoolbag.
Huaxu took a look at the gift bag and was subconsciously stunned. She took the gift and said angrily: "Xiu Xiu, didn't I tell you not to bring any gifts?"
She quickly opened the gift and found it was a TF hardcover gift box. A row of beautiful lipsticks came into view. The tidbits said with surprise:
"Thank you Xiuxiu, I like it very much."
She pushed Zhou Xiu to her seat.
Yu Qingyan whispered to Zhou Xiu, "Quick, blow up the other side!"
Yu Qingyan and Lan Xin took a look around. Today, the behind-the-scenes footage was hosted by some of their good friends from the past, including some top students from No. 4 Middle School.
With the school in danger, Du Heng and Lu Liu's gang have become enemies in their eyes.
Zhou Xiu sat down and glanced at a few strangers. The girl with short hair introduced herself: "My name is Lu Liu."
The boy sitting next to Huatiao in the corner said calmly: "Du Heng."
There was another tall girl with long hair and a proud look. She said calmly, "Jiang Yuanyuan."
This is the legendary God Du, God Liu, and others in No. 4 Middle School.
Jiang Yuanyuan was obviously surprised as she had not expected that Zhou Xiu was actually Hua Xi's friend. I didn’t expect that Huatsu would become friends with someone like Zhou Xiu?
Jiang Yuanyuan felt like she had finally put her mind at ease.
It was supposed to be her turn to play in this round, but she had no intention of moving and let Lu Liu play.
Lu Liu watched Zhou Xiu cutting the cards in an unskilled manner, looking like a novice. Some of them were amused and gave Huatiao a look that could only be understood but not expressed in words.
Zhou Xiu was about to deal the cards when she asked Hua Xi: "What cards are we playing, Texas Hold'em or Bridge?"
"No, it's Landlord." Huatui said.
A look of surprise flashed across Zhou Xiu's face, but he quickly calmed down and dealt the cards seriously.
Huaxu couldn't help but cover his face, revealing embarrassment. That's right, they were just playing a game of Landlord, but they could still lose so badly.
Zhou Xiu played cards calmly, and ten minutes later——
Lu Liu still held four cards in his hand, "Sorry, I was careless."
Du Heng smiled lightly and played the last card in his hand.
Zhou Xiu has played all the cards in his hand. She frowned, feeling that the boy sitting next to her was very strong.
…
Another group of people arrived on time at eight o'clock in the evening.
Many boys and girls from Yude came to the party hall spontaneously and gave gifts to Huatsun. They walked into the box and wished Hua Ti a happy birthday.
A girl from the lower grade gave Huaxu an expensive Steiff teddy bear, and Huaxu gladly accepted it.
There were also people who gave away classical dolls, dolls, and models. A girl in the first grade of high school looked at the behind-the-scenes footage and said with twinkling eyes, "Sister Xu is turning 16 this year!"
After giving their gifts, the group of female students gathered in the corner to watch Du Heng and his friends playing cards. The boys and girls in the third and first year of high school were shocked when they saw Zhou Xiu.
Isn’t this... the protagonist of the post that was surrounded by scandals some time ago - Zhou Xiu?
There was a hint of surprise in the boy's eyes. Is this the legendary heroine who came from a poor family and came to Yude to fish for golden turtles?
The hazy light fell on the girl in the corner, and the cold light made her face look cold and clear, but the occasional smile on her face was like a night-blooming cereus quietly blooming in the quiet night.
Charming yet cold.
Many people who had never seen Zhou Xiu asked quietly, "Who is the girl next to Sister Xu?"
The beauty lovers were shocked when they learned the answer. This is... Zhou Xiu? Why is it so different from what I saw at the school sports meet last year?
Their eyes were fixed on Zhou Xiu, as if unable to move.
Yu Qingyan kept encouraging Zhou Xiu, "Come on, come on, beat No. 4 Middle School. Come on, come on, beat Du Heng."
They were shocked again because the other two strangers turned out to be the legendary God Du and God Liu of No. 4 Middle School.
Before this group of junior students had time to express their admiration for the God of Learning, then -
They saw the heroine who was ridiculed in the post playing cards with a calm expression and beating everyone else.
Round after round.
The female students held their breath, stretched their necks, and gathered around Zhou Xiu, with sparks of admiration in their eyes flying everywhere.
As Xi Shaoyuan walked into the door, his eyes fell on Zhou Xiu in the corner.
She was wearing Yude's school uniform, which was simple and pure. There was a circle of people around her, and when the last card fell, everyone cheered.
Zhou Xiu showed his fangs, smiled at the other three people, and said, "Sorry, I don't want to play anymore."
Du Heng, Lu Liu and Zhang Qi all lost.
Zhang Qi breathed a sigh of relief. He lost quite happily and looked at Lu Liu triumphantly.
Huaxu happily hugged Zhou Xiu, "The top students in our Dayude are really amazing."
Zhou Xiu smiled shyly, "Stop messing around."
Du Heng's eyelids twitched and he glanced at Zhou Xiu in surprise.
The legendary Six Gods spread out their cards, looking like a rogue: "No more playing, no more playing. You have the advantage of being at home. You have a strong aura."
Lu Liu looked Zhou Xiu in the eye for the first time and asked, "Did you participate in the math competition?"
Zhou Xiu hummed.
Lu Liu looked at Zhou Xiu and said with a smile: "I hope we can meet in the provincial team."
"And Xi Shaoyuan."
Her eyes fell on Zhou Xiu, who looked pure and beautiful even without any makeup and wearing a simple school uniform. Zhou Xiu's cold gaze was like the cold snow in early winter.
His temperament is similar to Du Heng, no wonder he can be good friends with Huaxu.
Lu Liu looked at the time, hugged Huaxu and said, "Happy birthday, baby."
"I have to hurry back to the evening study session. We skipped it. I had a great time tonight. Thank you."
Highlights: "..."
I don't really understand what these top students are thinking who race against time and skip classes at the same time.
Huaxu quickly turned off the lights, lit candles, made a wish, and gave a piece of cake to Lu Liu.
Du Heng put down the cards and left the room.
Sparks of admiration flashed in the eyes of Yude's junior and senior students, but their enthusiasm ended after the game was over. Suddenly I realized that they were actually worshipping Zhou Xiu just now.
They whispered quietly among themselves: "What did Liu Shen mean by what he said just now... Is it amazing that Zhou Xiu won?"
Lu Liu also asked Zhou Xiu whether she participated in the math competition.
"Can she make the provincial math team?"
It is so difficult to enter the provincial team.
In the past few years, only one person from Yude has made it to the provincial team, and that is Xie Cheng, a sophomore. The only one who was admitted to Tsinghua University in the first year of high school.
So Liushen means that Zhou Xiu is as powerful as Xie Shen?
How is this possible...
The legendary Zhou Xiu is actually such a powerful girl?
"Tsk, it's nothing special—" a girl said indifferently, "Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that it was Master Du who gave in to Zhou Xiu. After all, today is Sister Xu's birthday, and Master Du is a gentleman."
"I'm just playing cards for fun, how can it be linked to studying?"
Another girl said, "Hey, you are not a student of Yude yet. Why do you admire Du Heng so much? Wasn't it cool enough to watch Xiu Shen beat him up just now?"
After watching the card game for a few rounds, the female students looked at Zhou Xiu with admiration. Some of them approached her and asked for her contact information.
Some schoolmates gave Zhou Xiu a thumbs up without hesitation and praised her: "Show is awesome!"
After the boys and girls gave their gifts, they quickly left the party hall.
Xi Shaoyuan handed Huaxu a gift.
Huaxu looked at Xi Shaoyuan flattered and winked at him.
Yesterday, I saw Xi Shaoyuan’s updates in the behind-the-scenes footage. He, who hasn’t posted to his Moments in years, posted a photo.
The background of the photo is Happy World, but the behind-the-scenes footage noticed a TF packaging bag in a corner, which happened to be the gift Zhou Xiu gave her today.
"You go sit over there." Huaxu nodded at him and pointed in the direction of Zhou Xiu.
Xi Shaoyuan sat on the sofa and looked around calmly. The sofa was filled with Huaxu's birthday gifts of all sizes, including teddy bears, half-meter-tall dolls, Barbie dolls, cosmetics, jewelry, handmade products, clothes...
There are so many things to see that it’s hard to find a place to stay. Zhou Xiu sat between the two giant dolls, her slender figure almost submerged.
This kind of bustle inadvertently reminds people of Zhou Xiu’s loneliness in the amusement park yesterday.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the chef pushed up a cart of exquisite desserts.
The desserts on the dining car are colorful, all of which are the flavors that Huaxu likes, including red bean paste, lotus crisps, silver rolls, honey rose taro, almond tofu...
Beautiful and elegant, delicate and pretty like the food in ancient paintings.
Zhou Xiu took a piece of almond tofu and took a bite. It was smooth in the mouth, leaving a faint fragrance on the lips and teeth. The taste felt inexplicably familiar.
She took another bite and thought of the desserts that Huatiao often shared with her in the past.
After singing the song, Hua Xi happily asked Zhou Xiu: "Is it delicious, Xiu Xiu? Is it as delicious as the one you made?"
Zhou Xiu looked up at the behind-the-scenes footage and silently finished two desserts. "Delicious. Much better than mine."
Huaxu touched Zhou Xiu's head and said, "If you like it, eat more."
After Zhou Xiu had eaten and drunk his fill, he went to the bathroom.
After she came out, she accidentally saw the behind-the-scenes footage at the end of the corridor.
She was wearing a black miniskirt and pressed Du Heng from No. 4 Middle School against the wall. Du Heng hesitated for a long time before touching her head and lowering his head to kiss her a few times.
Zhou Xiu quickly looked away and turned around, standing there silently. She waited for a long time until the two people left before she came out.
Zhou Xiu didn't say hello to Huaxu. She sent a text message to her Haiou, picked up her schoolbag and left the party hall.
It was not until she returned home in the evening that Zhou Xiu opened her schoolbag to do her homework and discovered a box in it.
This is a snow-white satin box, with a packet of strawberry seeds lying quietly inside.
There was a label on the bottom of the satin box that read: "Happy Birthday."
