Chapter 46
Besha's eyes fell on the snow-white paper, and her eyelids drooped as if unable to bear the burden. She took the paper and carefully read the legal provisions that she could not understand.
Zhou Li held his chin with his hand, and his originally excited expression gradually subsided when he saw Bei Xia's expression.
After reading through the documents one by one, Bexia raised her head, seeming to suppress her emotions. A slight smile tugged at the corners of her mouth. "I don't understand it, but I can sense that this document is very rigorous."
Zhou Li also chuckled: "You are not a law student, it is normal that you don't understand."
Bexia thought thoughtfully: "Law?"
Can the law punish all the evil in the world?
The food was served, and Zhou Li greeted Bei Xia: "Eat first. Do you have an exam this afternoon? How did you do this morning?"
He easily passed over the slightly heavy topic just now.
Bei Xia put the complaint aside and smiled at Zhou Li, "I don't know."
"Huh?" Zhou Li looked at her in surprise. Bei Xia smiled and continued, "I answered all the questions, but I'm not sure how the teacher will grade the paper."
She looked a little distressed: "Chinese composition, I hope I didn't go off topic."
Zhou Li smiled and said, "It's really rare to see you in trouble. Can you tell me about it?"
The two of them started chatting while eating, and the composition involved Zhou Li's major. She listened to Beixia's explanation of the composition requirements and he analyzed it for her. Beixia listened carefully.
As Zhou Li spoke, he couldn't help but look at Bei Xia's eyes. Those jade-clear eyes no longer showed the sadness that had just flashed across them.
After all, they are Beixia's relatives. No matter how bad they are, they are still her few relatives.
Zhou Li sighed inwardly but didn't show it on his face.
After lunch, Zhou Li went to work and Bei Xia went to school. The two went their separate ways, one forward and the other backward.
Zhou Li looked at the gradually shrinking and disappearing figure in the rearview mirror, and she thought to herself, he's still a child.
The days go by and New Year's Day is coming soon.
On the eve of New Year's Day, the teacher worked overtime to mark the monthly exam papers.
After getting the results, everyone was stunned, only Zhao Wenyan was confident.
The math teacher took out the monthly exam paper and asked Teacher Zhao, "Do you think Bei Xia cheated on this score?"
Zhao Wenyan laughed and said, "We took the test in the same class, and you were the invigilator yourself. Who did she copy from? Who else in the class could get such a score?"
"That's true," the math teacher murmured, then added in confusion, "But..."
"Is it so different from her previous achievements?"
The math teacher nodded.
Zhao Wenyan took out his cell phone and showed him the award-winning photos of Beixia in math and physics competitions during her freshman year. Zhao Wenyan remembered every one of these students.
"She has a good foundation and can be said to be very talented."
The math teacher sighed regretfully: "Why didn't I find this hidden gem?"
Zhao Wenyan patted his shoulder.
Except for Chinese and English, where Beixia performed poorly, he ranked among the top in the grade in comprehensive science and mathematics in this monthly exam. After getting the results, Zhao Wenyan felt that Beixia still had room for improvement, especially in English and Chinese.
After the test papers were distributed, it was New Year's Day, so the school deliberately gave us one more day off, which combined with the weekend made a total of two days.
Some people were surprised, some were shocked when they received the test papers, but overall the scores of Class 12 were higher than usual, and the scores of Class 2 were not dragged down either. It can be said that everyone is happy.
Zhao Wenyan asked for the opinions of the students in the class and decided not to hold a New Year's Eve party. Instead, he decided to give everyone a holiday to have a good rest. Everyone has been working hard recently, and proper relaxation is good for the body and mind.
Beixia's deskmate Wu Huimin looked depressed when she got the test paper. She didn't do well in the monthly exam again. She stretched her neck to look at Beixia. Beixia had already packed her schoolbag and was ready to go home without wasting a second.
"Bexia, how did you do on the exam?" Wu Huimin said dejectedly, "I can't expect to have a good time these two days off. I'm sure I'll get scolded when I get home."
Bei Xia put on her schoolbag, tidied up the table, and put the extra things into the table hole. She said casually, "That's it."
Wu Huimin didn't believe it. She had long felt that Bei Xia was playing dumb and that this monthly exam would definitely shock the world, but she was too low-key.
Wu Huimin thought to herself, "When I draw my dragon-slaying sword, I will slay every evil dragon in the world! Hehehe!"
Seeing her deskmate looking dazed, Bei Xia patted Wu Huimin on the shoulder and said, "Aren't you leaving yet? Everyone's gone."
Wu Huimin was woken up by Bei Xia and quickly packed her schoolbag.
Looking at her schoolbag bulging with papers, a mask of pain appeared on her face.
This isn't a holiday at all! It's a sea of papers!
Wu Huimin asked, "Can I come to your house to do homework during the holidays?" She felt that she and Bei Xia had a good relationship now, and asked eagerly, "I won't disturb you. It's just that I don't know how to do many of the questions on this test..."
Wu Huiming felt that she should not have blindly listened to her family and chosen science when she was choosing her major. Now she is basically clueless about science and mathematics. She might as well have chosen liberal arts. But she is already in her third year of high school and it is really too late.
Bei Xia was a little stunned. Her classmate was going to her house? She pulled her scarf. She was actually a little happy, but it was hard to make a decision. What if Zhou Li didn't like people coming to her house?
Bei Xia shook her head. Wu Huimin was a little disappointed. She was being unreasonable. She lowered her head and zipped up her schoolbag. She heard Bei Xia's thin and weak voice coming over: "Do you have a phone at home? I need to ask Zhou Li before I can make a decision."
Who is Zhou Li? Wu Huimin put her doubts aside and said happily, "Yes! I'll write it to you!"
Both of the prospective college entrance examination candidates have the same rule at home, which is that they are not allowed to bring mobile phones to school.
Bei Xia got her deskmate's phone number, took a close look at it, memorized it, and put the note paper into the compartment of her schoolbag.
"Probably not on New Year's Day."
"It's okay, any time is fine." Wu Huimin waved her hand, "I'll wait for your call!"
Besha was still smiling when he left the school.
Zhou Li was working overtime on New Year's Day. Her new program had just been launched and was scheduled from 7 to 8 p.m. She had to be there during this time period. Not only her, but everyone in the team was working overtime.
Yan Xu made an OK gesture to the director's desk outside, the music ended, and the show officially began.
"I'm sure many people are on their way home right now. How are you planning to spend New Year's Day this year? Will you spend it with your family? Or will you get together with a few friends? Or maybe you'll spend it all alone..."
Yan Xu's voice has a warm and heavy feeling, which is transmitted through the broadcast to the ears of everyone who turns on the radio station. Yan Xu communicates with the guests through the telephone connection. Zhou Li is very nervous. Although she does not show it on her face, she never sits down during the one-hour program and stands the whole time to let the director pay attention to the tuning and cooperation.
At the end of the show, Yan Xu smiled and said: "Among the thousands of lights, I hope there is a light waiting for you. Happy New Year's Day."
The music starts and the show ends.
The broadcast was a real-time ratings show and the show was a huge success, attracting many people to tune in.
Everyone in the radio room applauded. They had poured half a month's hard work into this one-hour program, and today's successful start was indeed worth celebrating.
Zhou Li said to everyone, "To celebrate the success of today's show, I'm treating everyone to a meal! Anyone who doesn't have any activities must eat my meal!"
She said jokingly and everyone laughed.
“Must eat!”
"The leader is treating us for the first time, so we must go!"
The broadcast room was bustling with activity. Yan Xu took off his headset and came out to join in the fun, asking, "Is there a place for me?"
Zhou Li said politely, "Brother Yan, you are the key to our success. You must sit at the main table for dinner today!"
Yan Xu smiled and said, "Okay! I won't be polite with you!"
The group made a reservation to go out for barbecue. Zhou Li picked up her clothes and then remembered that Beixia had a day off today. She really wanted to share her feelings with Beixia, but Beixia didn't have a cell phone. She raised her hand to push back the hair behind her ears. Her colleague had already packed up and was waiting for her.
"Boss? You're packing so slowly, you're not trying to run away with the bill, are you?" someone joked.
"Here I come!" Zhou Li walked forward with a smile.
It was late at night, and Bei Xia left the store with one step deep and one step shallow.
Few people in the city listen to the radio. She walked for a long time from her home before she found a small shop that had been open for a long time. The grandmother in the shop had a hobby of listening to opera radio. By borrowing someone else's radio, Beixia was able to hear Zhou Li's program.
FM102, traffic radio station.
The programs Zhou Li performs are as warm as she is.
Bexia raised his head and looked at the sky. There was no snow in the city tonight. The sky was as dark as blue velvet, with a few stars faintly lit.
Bei Xia raised his hand and blew out air, wondering what Zhou Li was doing?
I told her to listen to it, but there was no equipment to listen to the radio at home.
Bei Xia went home to do a set of papers when she heard the door open. She opened the door and saw Zhou Li talking to someone.
"Thank you for bringing me back," she said.
Yan Xu was embarrassed: "It's the designated driver who's driving the car. Here are your car keys, keep them safe."
Zhou Li had drunk a bit too much. She took the car keys, waved her hand and said, "Brother Yan, go back. I'm fine."
Yan Xu saw that Zhou Li was standing unsteadily. She swayed, and just as he was about to help, a hand appeared from mid-air and caught Zhou Li steadily.
Yan Xu was stunned, but when he saw Bei Xia, he felt relieved.
"Your sister drank a little too much, please take good care of her."
He helped close the door. Bei Xia raised his chin slightly and looked at Zhou Li. Zhou Li's eyes were filled with moist light, and the light in his eyes seemed to be shaking.
"Besha?" She seemed to be trying to confirm who was in front of her. She tried to open her eyes wide, and her eyes were sparkling like an alluring sea.
"Bei Xia." Zhou Li confirmed it and rushed towards Bei Xia. Bei Xia was caught off guard and took a few steps back, her body pressed against the cabinet behind her. Zhou Li hugged Bei Xia, rubbing her face against her cheek, and mumbled, "Did you listen to my show?"
Bei Xia held Zhou Li's waist tightly to prevent her from sliding to the ground.
"I heard it." Besha said softly.
"We, let's go celebrate, celebrate the success of the show, hehe." Zhou Li's mind was still somewhat clear, but his hands and feet were out of control.
"It sounds nice," said Besha.
"Is that so." Zhou Li hugged Beixia's neck like a child who was praised, and put all his weight on her. Beixia couldn't bear the burden, and they both slowly slipped down. Zhou Li still found it interesting, and they looked at each other.
She knelt on the ground, put her arms around Bei Xia's neck, pressed her chest against her, and her bag fell to her feet. She hugged Bei Xia and was unwilling to let go, feeling a little aggrieved: "You are the first person I thought of, but you are not here."
Bei Xia's eyes, which had been focused on Zhou Li's face, darkened. She took a deep breath and said, "I know now."
Zhou Li smirked again, "Really?"
"You're drunk." Bei Xia tried to take Zhou Li's hand, but Zhou Li, like a willful child, refused to let go. She mumbled, "I'm happy." Then she emphasized, "I'm not drunk. If you don't believe me, just point at a few fingers. I can definitely tell for sure!"
Bexia said, "The floor is cold. How about we go to the bedroom?"
"No." Zhou Li pouted and said unhappily, "You don't want to compare because you think I'm drunk. I'm not drunk!"
Bei Xia was helpless and made a "yeah" gesture to Zhou Li, "What number is this?"
Zhou Li finally let go and looked at Bei Xia's fingers carefully. "One, uh, no, two! Two fingers, right?"
She touched Besha's hand and shouted to him excitedly. Besha nodded helplessly, "Yes, it's two fingers. You're not drunk."
Zhou Li was satisfied after receiving a positive answer. Bei Xia finally had the chance to stand up and wanted to pull Zhou Li up again. Zhou Li's hands and feet were weak, and after she was finally pulled up, she rushed into Bei Xia's arms.
Besha quickly supported the drunkard.
The drunk was still mumbling: "It's okay, I don't need help, I'm sober!"
"Well, you're awake."
Zhou Li said her thing and Bei Xia did her thing. He put one of her hands on his shoulder, put his arm around Zhou Li's slender waist and slowly led her to the bedroom.
Bei Xia wanted to put Zhou Li on the bed, but Zhou Li was not obedient. When she lay down on the bed, she pulled Bei Xia down with her. Bei Xia fell into her chest, her face flushed.
Bei Xia struggled for a few times, but was locked down by Zhou Li.
Maybe because she felt Beixia was fragrant and soft, or maybe because she thought it was fun, Zhou Li's alcohol-soaked brain was out of control. She muttered, "Beixia, sleep with me." She held Beixia tightly with her hands, and Beixia was almost buried to death by her.
After struggling for a long time, I finally escaped.
This time, not only his face was red, but his neck was also red.
She avoided his gaze, but she couldn't just ignore the drunk.
After taking off Zhou Li's shoes, she finally managed to tuck her legs, which were leaning under the bed, into the quilt. She then carelessly kicked the quilt away, and the quilt was kicked into the corner. Bei Xia half-lay on the bed to pick up the quilt, but before she could react, Zhou Li rolled her up into his arms with the quilt.
Bei Xia struggled in vain. She whispered, "Zhou Li?"
Zhou Li did not respond. Bei Xia screamed again and tried to get out of the quilt, but Zhou Li held her tightly with his hands and feet. After trying for a long time, it was useless except for a thin layer of sweat oozing from her forehead.
Bei Xia took a long breath and called out again, "Zhou Li, are you asleep?"
This time her voice was a little louder, and Zhou Li nodded.
Bexia said, "Let me go. You will catch a cold if you sleep like this."
Zhou Li still said "hmm".
Beixia's head was full of question marks. After waiting for a while, she called out again. Zhou Li didn't respond, but his hands and feet relaxed, and she finally escaped from the quilt.
Sitting on the bed, I saw Zhou Li's cheeks flushed from her sleep. There was no unpleasant smell of alcohol on her body, but a fresh orange fragrance mixed with the cool air in the air, which was unusually pleasant.
Beixia sniffed lightly, blushed for a while, and felt like a pervert.
She got out of bed, took the quilt from under Zhou Li's feet, and covered Zhou Li neatly.
Zhou Li fell asleep facing inward, his breathing was shallow, and he no longer looked like the drunkard he was just now.
Looking at her, Bexia couldn't help but stretch out his index finger and gently tap her face.
Zhou Li's brows were cutely frowned, as if he was harassed, and Bei Xia raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
He looks well behaved and is quite cute.
Bei Xia was so engrossed in watching that she squatted down and observed Zhou Li's face like a pervert.
From her furrowed brows, to her rosy cheeks and slightly parted lips, and then down to her slender neck, it glowed delicately under the light.
It was so cute that Beixia couldn't help but move closer. Zhou Li moved a little, and she panicked and helped Zhou Li close the door.
Standing outside the door, Beixia's heart beat faster. She held her heart and her face turned red involuntarily.
She actually wanted to kiss Zhou Li just now? !
Besha returned to his room absentmindedly.
She still had half of the test paper left to finish, and the rest were all big questions.
As soon as he wrote the calculation process on the draft paper, Bei Xia began to daze. After a while, he came to his senses and shook his head to get rid of the Zhou Li in his mind.
Although he was writing the test paper, his mind was full of Zhou Li. He became dazed while writing Bei Xia.
It is difficult to make progress on the big questions.
The night wind was howling, and the light in Zhou Li's room looked very warm.
Zhou Li was awakened by thirst. She got out of bed in a daze and saw the light still on in Beixia's room. She pushed the door open and asked, "Bexia, are you still awake?"
Bei Xia was startled and started to hiccup. His mind was really distracted. Before he could collect his thoughts, the real person appeared. Bei Xia couldn't stand this stimulation.
Zhou Li quickly stepped forward and patted Bei Xia's back, "Are you cold?" She asked with concern, her voice still a little hoarse from drinking.
Besha shook his head and pushed her hand away.
Zhou Li looked at the hand that was pushed away inexplicably, his mind still a little confused, and he couldn't think straight. "I'll go get you a glass of water."
It just so happened that Zhou Li also wanted to drink.
The water in the kettle in the kitchen was empty, so Zhou Li used a kettle to boil water. She held onto the countertop and listened to the sound of the kettle boiling water before her foggy brain reacted.
Just now, Besha was rejecting her.
Zhou Li cried out and pressed his temples anxiously.
Bexia had never reacted like this when she approached him before. Was he angry with her?
Zhou Li thought carefully about what she had done wrong.
After thinking about it, it seems like I did everything wrong.
Zhou Li reflected.
First of all, as an adult, she went out drinking until midnight and came back drunk, and then she needed a minor to take care of her.
The water boiled, and Zhou Li took it to Bei Xia.
Besha was still hiccuping while sitting in the chair. She had tried many methods but to no avail. She pounded her chest in frustration, cursing herself in her heart about what was going on in her head.
Bei Xia pursed her lips, feeling unhappy with herself. Zhou Li took the water cup and handed it to her, saying, "The water is still hot, drink slowly."
Besha held the cup, she looked down and burped from time to time.
Zhou Li smiled and said, "It's my fault. Don't be angry. You are a tolerant person. Please forgive me, okay?"
Her tone was soft, with an upturned ending, and sounded very sweet.
Bei Xia couldn't resist the temptation and looked up at Zhou Li. Zhou Li put her hand on the back of her chair and looked down at Bei Xia.
Beixia felt her face was burning again. She was a little angry that Zhou Li was sent back by someone else, but she was more angry at herself. Beixia couldn't explain how she felt when she saw Zhou Li. She only knew that Zhou Li was everything to her, and all her yearning for future life.
Bei Xia suddenly stopped hiccuping. Zhou Li waited for a moment and said in surprise, "You're fine now!"
Beixia lowered her head and took a sip of water. When she found that the hiccups had indeed stopped, she said softly, "Congratulations on the success of today's show."
Zhou Li tilted her head and looked at Bei Xia for a moment, then squatted down, held her hand holding the water cup, and said with a touching look on her face: "Bei Xia, you are so kind! You are really my good sister!"
Besha's heart stopped for a moment, then began beating violently again.
She lowered her eyes, revealing her emotions for the first time.
"Zhou Li, I'm not your sister."
Zhou Li's rising mood gradually cooled down, and she stared at Bei Xia blankly, as if she was looking at a stranger.
"Bexia, what are you talking about?" Zhou Li frowned.
Bei Xia stood up, put the water cup on the table, then pulled Zhou Li up and led her out the door, saying, "It's late, Zhou Li, go to sleep. I need you to go to my uncle's house with me tomorrow." She paused, "Zhou Li, good night."
This time he said it in front of Zhou Li.
Zhou Li watched Bei Xia's door close in front of her and felt Bei Xia's rebelliousness for the first time.
This rebellion came so suddenly and quickly that Zhou Licuo was caught off guard.
Zhou Li lay in bed, tossing and turning uncomfortably. She asked the system, "Is Beixia going through puberty?"
System: "According to Baidu Encyclopedia, adolescence refers to the transition period from childhood to adulthood, which is generally between the ages of 10 and 18 for girls[1]. The heroine meets this characteristic."
"Oh, that's puberty? No wonder she rarely calls me sister." Zhou Li lamented.
Counting on her fingers, the number of times Besha called her sister was very few.
Zhou Li couldn't sleep anymore.
She then asked the system: "How should I treat a teenage child?"
System: "I suggest you seek counseling from a psychologist."
Zhou Li snorted coldly: "What's the use of you?"
system:……
Zhou Li opened her phone and searched for adolescent children, and she actually found a lot of explanations.
"Adolescents are like bazookas. Parents should maintain a calm mindset, avoid excessive attention, and allow them to transition smoothly while also providing them with plenty of love and care."
Zhou Li murmured: "I don't want to pay attention, but I want to pay attention..."
Raising children is so hard!
Zhou Li fell asleep while watching, and was woken up by Beixia in the morning. Looking at Beixia's unchanged face, Zhou Li wondered if last night was just a dream of hers. She even dreamed that Beixia was rebellious. Isn't that ridiculous?
Zhou Li sat on the bed and laughed.
Bei Xia shouted, "Zhou Li, get up!"
"Call me sister!!!" Zhou Li replied, dropping her slippers and getting out of bed yawning.
Bei Xia prepared brunch. Today was a holiday, and Zhou Li didn't have to go to the TV station until the evening. Bei Xia didn't wake her up in the morning, letting her sleep a little longer. She stood by the dining table and said to Zhou Li, "Let's eat more at home. We may not be able to get food when we go there."
Zhou Li snapped his fingers and praised handsomely: "Little clever ghost."
But her messy hair after sleeping makes her look less handsome.
Bei Xia urged, "Go wash your face quickly, or the food will get cold."
Zhou Li shrugged, "Wait a moment."
Go into the bathroom to clean yourself up.
Bei Xia: I want to be called sister, but I don’t want to be called sister
Zhou Li:?
