Chapter 207: Hitting the Hand with a Ruler



The alley was too narrow, so they put away their umbrellas. Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang wandered around in this maze-like alley with the intention of strolling. Holding hands, carrying umbrellas, they left behind their idle backs, leisurely and comfortable.

On weekdays, the two of them lived a very self-disciplined life, so self-disciplined that it was monotonous. Now, this kind of time is used to squander. Life is mostly bitter, after all, this is the reason why sweetness, no matter how big or small, becomes obvious. Blue bricks and black tiles, followed by a few snowflakes, turned into words in poems, which made Shu Shuang happy.

In winter, holding your lover's hand, feeling each other's body temperature, and then going to the cafeteria to eat a bowl of hot wontons, with some of the cafeteria's specialty chili oil, you will be in a good mood for the day.

After walking through several alleys, I saw seniors with half of their windows open, fiddling with many porcelain dolls. Rainy and snowy days are all suitable for appreciating these exquisite gadgets. Of course, sunny days are also suitable. As long as you are in a good mood, any day is fine.

Shu Shuang liked these cute little ornaments. After looking at them for a few more times, she was called over by her senior.

Although they felt a little embarrassed, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang still took the porcelain doll handed to them by their senior. The doll was white and plump, and a little cold when they held it in their hands, but they quickly warmed it up.

The senior saw them walking away and smiled with his missing teeth. Starting from them, more and more juniors will go up the mountain. That's when it will be lively. This academy is kept fresh by the replacement of fresh blood. What the seniors like most is these children who go up the mountain. They are energetic and cute, have a bright future, and are likable.

"This alley is like the one next to Xia's residence."

Xia Xiao pointed, and Shu Shuang looked. It was indeed very similar. The dark green wall, covered by snow, had lost its melancholy, leaving only tranquility.

After walking for a long time, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang didn't know where they were, but it was time to go down the mountain. After turning around an alley, Xia Xiao saw a person and turned around and left without hesitation. Shu Shuang didn't see clearly, so she looked back and saw that it was Ah Zhu. The latter seemed to notice her gaze and greeted her happily.

As soon as he heard Azhu's voice, Xia Xiao smiled bitterly. How did he meet her?

"Hey!"

Azhu jumped in front of them and put on a pure summer smile.

In the past month, they still didn't socialize, because Shu Shuang didn't like Ah Zhu, so Xia Xiao didn't want to see her, so as not to ruin his good mood. But Shu Shuang was so reasonable, and she was no longer the same as she was at the beginning. He knew that no one could take his Xia Xiao away. Moreover, she and Xiao Ran supervised each other in the past month, and they were disciplined by diet. Her figure was better than before, not inferior to Ah Zhu.

Shu Shuang subconsciously straightened her chest, but was attracted by Azhu's swollen palm.

"What happened to your hand?"

When talking about her hands, Ah Zhu couldn't help showing them off. She looked miserable, her brows knitted together, and she felt a little aggrieved. She was the kind of carefree girl, like a Lingzhi who grew up in the wilderness, and had never been to an ivory tower, otherwise she would have cried. Wiping away her tears, Ah Zhu said jokingly:

"I had a history test today, and I didn't know a single question. Then I was scolded by my teacher."

"Good lesson. It's a bit too much to not know a single one."

Xia Xiao deliberately made his tone cold, and Ah Zhu immediately retorted when he heard it.

"How can I know what happened tens of thousands of years ago? There was also a question asking whether the ancestor of the spiritual contract was a human or a beast. I was confused. There were many wars and even gods. I feel like Master never told me about gods! It's annoying."

Seeing her stamping her feet in anger, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang looked at each other and couldn't help but smile. It seems that God is fair. Ah Zhu's talent is enough for the academy to make an exception and keep him, but unfortunately his brain is not working well. Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang didn't believe that the senior didn't tell them those things, but it was impossible for him to tell the answers exactly when he told them, otherwise what's the point of the exam?

Walking out of the alley together, Xia Xiao was surprised at Ah Zhu's memory and said:

"I can't remember the questions, but I remember the terrain pretty well. There are so many alleys, and it's hard to see you go wrong."

Stepping on the fluffy snowflake meadow, Ah Zhu looked confused.

"Isn't it just an alley?"

Xia Xiao saw that she looked serious and didn't seem to be joking, but was this the difference between him and her? Ah Zhu first said that the mountain road was straight, and then said that there was only one alley. But he had indeed walked through the rugged mountain road and had seen countless alleys before. The alleys were crisscrossed, and there was a surprising existence at the end of each one. But in her eyes, there were never so many complicated things, only the place she wanted to go. Therefore, the mountain road was straight, and there was no peach tree obstruction, and there was only one alley leading to the school where the master was.

Growing up in a mountain village, Ah Zhu was not at all pretentious, and even lacked the idea of ​​pursuing beauty. Except for rainstorms, she never carried an umbrella. At this time, she walked forward hurriedly with snow on her head. She wanted to go back to find Doudou, and it must be waiting for her at the bottom of the mountain road. Every day when she went up the mountain, it would wait for her at the bottom of the mountain road, waiting for half a day.

The snow didn't stop, but got heavier. Shu Shuang, who was walking up the mountain road, called Ah Zhu and asked her to come under the umbrella. Ah Zhu was covered in snow, and once wet, she felt a little cold. But Xia Xiao had already walked out of the umbrella. Xia Xiao always liked Shu Shuang's temperament. Even if she had some small emotions, they would not last forever.

It was the first time for Ah Zhu to share an umbrella with others, so she was a little shy. Shu Shuang was not in a complicated mood, but she was thinking that Ah Zhu's temper might offend others in the future. She was too careless, so careless that she forgot what her senior said, and so careless that she forgot to say thank you.

Apart from the first time they met, this was also the first time the three of them walked together. This road, which was usually very long, became extremely short because the three of them walked different paths. Ah Zhu walked in the front, Xia Xiao followed not far behind, and Shu Shuang disappeared. They were still walking together a second ago.

Xia Xiao understood the mystery and stood on a stone brick behind Ah Zhu, waiting for Shu Shuang to come back. But Ah Zhu looked around and found that there was not even a footprint in the snow-covered peach forest.

"Where's Shu Shuang?"

"On the way."

Xia Xiao didn't want to talk to Ah Zhu any more, but she didn't understand Ah Zhu's expression, so she asked:

"Can you disappear out of thin air?"

“This mountain road is different for everyone.”

Ah Zhu nodded, not quite understanding. No matter how miraculous it was, it was not strange for it to happen in the academy. Just like the academy had fresh vegetables to eat in winter, she still didn't know where these vegetables came from. When she asked the uncle in the cafeteria, he just smiled and pointed to the sky. Could it have fallen from the sky?

Ah Zhu is not a three-year-old child, so he doesn't believe it! In comparison, disappearing out of thin air is also normal.

The umbrella was big, and Ah Zhu was tired of holding it, so he squatted on the ground and put the umbrella handle at his feet. His hand holding the umbrella handle no longer hurt, but it was a little hot. When Ah Zhu stopped talking, he thought of his master's ruler. It looked like it would break if bent, and it hurt more than anything else when used to hit people.

"Next time, call Shu Shuang "sister".

Xia Xiao's faint words made Ah Zhu look up. Her expression was quite serious, but her amber eyes suddenly became cold and she said.

"You're dreaming! Don't think I don't know that you are almost my age."

Xia Xiao curled his lips, he really couldn't get any advantage at all. But it didn't matter if he didn't call her, he just wanted to make Shu Shuang happy.

When Shu Shuang came back, the first thing she said was to apologize for keeping everyone waiting for so long.

After going down the mountain, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang returned to the dormitory to say goodbye to their roommates. In order to reach the top of the mountain faster, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang will leave the foot of the mountain and go to the mountainside to start the latest study. It is said that learning has no end, and cultivation is far from being as simple as absorbing vitality. They are unwilling to delay if they can get better teachings earlier. Although it is a bit sad to leave the dormitory where they have lived for more than half a year, they are all in the same mountain, but the height they stand at is higher than others.

Ah Zhu parted ways with them, the only thing on her mind was the pork elbow for tonight.

"Doudou, let's eat meat today."

Doudou shouted happily, shaking off the snow and water on his body as he entered the cafeteria.

"You are what you eat."

Ah Zhu was so happy that she was like an idiot, and she secretly vowed to study hard tomorrow. In a few months, she would be able to start practicing, and she felt that she was not well prepared. For this, she had to work harder! Picking up a piece of meat, Ah Zhu took a bite and forgot everything she had thought about before. The only thing left was the delicious smell of the elbow!
