After that day, Liu Zhang made no attempt to hide his dissatisfaction with Lu Chuqing, and would often make sarcastic remarks.
In this English class, after teaching the vocabulary, the teacher divided the students into groups of four, sitting in front of and behind each other, to discuss the meaning of the text and read it fluently. Later, she would randomly select one student from each group to check their work.
Because it was the third row, Lu Chuqing and her deskmate Qi Yu took their textbooks and turned around to the back.
It was just because it was easier to turn around from the right that the textbook she was holding happened to touch the textbook Liu Zhang was holding as he turned around from the left.
Then, the boy said with annoyance, "Such a big seat! You did this on purpose, didn't you?!"
Watching Liu Zhang pick up the book that had fallen onto her lap, Lu Chuqing said coldly, "I turned around first, why don't you say you did it on purpose?"
After saying that, she ignored him, moved her chair and turned most of her back to him, then picked up her textbook and started discussing with the others.
Liu Zhang wanted to say something, but seeing her like this, his words caught in his throat. He couldn't breathe and his face turned very ugly. He slammed his textbook on the desk behind him and said, "Translate it quickly!"
The boy's expression changed instantly. "Why are you yelling at me like that?! Who do you think you are?! What are you so arrogant about?!"
Without looking up, Liu Zhang adjusted his glasses, picked up a pen, and began writing the translation.
The boy was furious and rolled his eyes at him.
As Lu Chuqing was writing her translation, the long-haired girl across from her whispered to her, "Lu Chuqing, Liu Zhang is such a jerk, it feels like he's always targeting you."
Her talkative classmate also said, "Why do you need to feel anything? He's obviously deliberately trying to make things difficult for you, and he's also a problematic person."
Qi Yu said, "He just thinks too highly of himself and looks down on everyone else."
Then he looked at Lu Chuqing and said, "If you feel uncomfortable sitting with him, I'll talk to Wang Qiang and we can switch seats."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chuqing looked at him and said, "Thank you, but it's okay."
"Those who achieve great things cannot even endure such a small grievance."
The long-haired girl gave a thumbs up, "Great vision!"
The talkative boy clapped his hands twice, "What magnanimity! I admire you!"
Qi Yu clasped his hands in a fist salute, "Truly a true expert!"
Lu Chuqing: What a bunch of immature teenagers...
After this incident, the relationship between the three and Lu Chuqing instantly became closer.
To be honest, Lu Chuqing herself still finds it strange, as she feels that she has an unusually good number of friends in this life. Basically, after exchanging just a few words, the other person already considers her a friend and takes the initiative to play with her.
Previously, she, Qu Fusang, and Nangong Yu formed a three-person group, and as time went on, Qi Yu and the other two joined the group.
The girl with long hair is named Zhao Jiayan, and the boy who likes to talk is named Qiao Xiangdong.
These two, one outgoing and cheerful, the other lively and always smiling, could talk endlessly when they sat together.
He quickly became close friends with Nangong Yu, who was also from a similar social circle, and the three of them became the group's atmosphere-maker.
To celebrate their joining the group, they discussed going to a newly opened escape room in the city over the weekend.
With the group's warm invitation, Lu Chuqing couldn't very well refuse, so she agreed.
Before they knew it, it was the weekend. Lu Chuqing had already told Lu Ying and the others that she wanted to go out with her classmates, and both parents expressed their approval and support.
They said that at her age, she should balance work and rest, and that going out to relax would help her study better.
Without hesitation, Xi Jun transferred two thousand yuan to her, worried that she wouldn't have enough money for her trip.
The man no longer needs to pay off debts and is considered a veteran employee at the company, so his salary is naturally quite good.
Since confirming his relationship with Lu Ying, he has handed over all his cards, and he has been responsible for all his daily expenses.
Lu Ying was not short of money, but he couldn't resist Xi Jun's insistence on entrusting his assets to her for safekeeping, so he would give her five thousand yuan a month for living expenses.
The man's experience in life even surpassed Lu Ying's. He took meticulous care of every aspect, ensuring that Lu Ying had the best food, clothing, and daily necessities, and he could even save extra money.
He transferred two thousand yuan to Lu Chuqing without even blinking.
It's because he didn't have much money, otherwise he would have wanted to transfer more.
Upon seeing the amount, Lu Chuqing immediately said, "Uncle Xi, we're just a few junior high students going out to play. We can't possibly spend so much. Five hundred yuan is more than enough."
Xi Jun said, "There are many of you. Some of your classmates come from well-off families. I can't let my daughter be envious of others."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chuqing felt a sudden pang of sadness.
In her past life, her biological father ignored her completely, pushing her towards older men so that he could enjoy his own future happiness.
The man she now lives with has no blood relation to her, yet he treats her like his own daughter, showing her care, pampering, and spoiling her.
She suppressed her bitterness and said to the two adults, "You two should get your marriage certificate soon. I don't want to keep calling you 'uncle' anymore."
After saying that, she ran upstairs. The two adults downstairs exchanged a glance, especially Xi Jun, who felt a bittersweet warmth in her heart.
The temperature dropped the day we went out.
It rained during the night and was still drizzling in the morning. The temperature dropped to around 20 degrees Celsius, and Lu Chuqing, feeling cold, pulled out a thick hooded sweatshirt and put it on.
Xi Qingxu still had to go to his part-time job on the weekend. He knew Lu Chuqing was going out to play, but he didn't know where she was going. He just reminded her that it would rain again and to remember to bring an umbrella.
Only after watching the girl's crisp voice, holding an umbrella, disappear behind the door did he turn around.
He helped carry the bowl to the kitchen and put it in the dishwasher, then washed his hands and went upstairs to get his schoolbag.
While he was changing his shoes, Lu Ying noticed his trouser legs riding up because he had squatted down, and let out a soft "Eh."
"Qingxu, aren't these pants a bit too short?"
Just then, the boy stood up, and she went over to take a look.
After standing up, the trouser legs fell down, but not yet covering the ankles.
Xi Qingxu looked at it and said, "It's alright, it just reaches my ankles."
Xi Jun came over when she heard the noise, stood next to Lu Ying and glanced at her, "It is a bit short."
Then she looked at the boy's dark blue hooded sweatshirt and said, "The sweatshirt fits perfectly, and the sleeves aren't too short."
Lu Ying looked up at the two of them, then at their figures, and sighed, "Qingxu has caught up with you, and the child's proportions are particularly good. His waist is also a bit taller than yours, so his pants are a little short."
A few days ago, she and Xi Jun went to the mall to buy autumn clothes for their two children, and each of them bought two sets.
She knew Lu Chuqing's measurements, but she couldn't be sure about Xi Qingxu's. When she asked Xi Jun, the man couldn't give her an exact number either.
Thinking that the boy's height was similar to his, I estimated the size based on his height and bought the item accordingly.
Finally, I bought hoodies and jeans for each of the two kids.
The hoodies are the same color, but Lu Chuqing's pants are a lighter color, while Xi Qingxu's are a darker color.
Because I said I was buying clothes for two children, the sales assistant immediately assumed they were siblings, so she recommended the same styles.
The two adults didn't think anything of it; it's normal for siblings to wear matching outfits. When Lu Chuqing saw Xi Qingxu wearing the same clothes as her, she didn't think anything of it either; she was only concerned about who looked better in the clothes.
Only Xi Qingxu, seeing that he and Lu Chuqing were dressed the same, felt a strange, indescribable feeling welling up inside him.
