"Tuantuan!" Luo Xikui let go of Xin Chun's hand and jumped in two steps, but accidentally stepped on her shoelace and fell forward.
The boy stretched out his arm and grabbed her slender upper arm. Once she regained her balance, he immediately let go, looking at her flushed cheeks as she jumped, and uttered two words: "Idiot."
Luo Xikui was used to him saying those two words to her, and she smiled, her smile as radiant as a summer flower, her voice as clear and melodious as a nightingale's song: "Why didn't you go play ball with your brother today? Were you waiting for me?"
The boy said nothing and turned to walk outside.
Luo Xikui pouted her small, pink lips; her little brother Tuantuan was becoming increasingly unpredictable.
Xin Chun reminded her, "Your shoelaces."
Luo Xikui then realized what was happening, gave her a sweet smile, and squatted down to tie her shoelaces.
After tying her shoelaces, she waved goodbye to Xin Chun and cheerfully chased after the boy.
Xin Chun watched as she chased after Xu Ziyu so recklessly, her eyes lowering slightly.
"Tuantuan! Why are you walking so fast!" Luo Xikui finally caught up with him, put her hand on his shoulder, and panted.
At her current height, it's already a bit strenuous for her to put her arm around his shoulder, and the posture is awkward, but it's her habit, and it seems she won't be able to change it anytime soon.
"Were you waiting for me just now? You were waiting for me, weren't you?" she asked repeatedly, her angular lips curving into a beautiful smile.
"Shut up." Xu Ziyu said indifferently, expressionless, and took her arm off, continuing to walk forward with his long legs.
Luo Xikui smiled and followed him, telling him about the things she hadn't understood during the exam paper explanation earlier.
Along the maple-lined path of the school, they walked side by side, creating a unique scene.
As soon as we exited the school gate, a black BMW was parked there. The driver, Xiao Zhang, stood next to the car and opened the back door.
Luo Xikui sat down without ceremony, saying, "Thank you, Uncle Zhang."
Xiao Zhang smiled and said to Xu Ziyu, "Please, young master."
Xu Ziyu bent down and sat closer to the car. Luo Xikui had already taken out a juice from the small refrigerator, opened the can, and started gulping it down.
He glanced at her sideways; because he had tilted his head back and drunk so quickly, the condensation on the outside of the beverage can slid down the corner of his mouth, the droplets rolling down his fair neck, and slowly moving further down...
He looked away and tossed her a tissue from the side.
Luo Xikui smiled, took out a tissue to wipe her sweat and mouth, and muttered, "Why aren't you sweating? Aren't you hot? Do you want some drinks?"
As she spoke, she brought the drink in her hand to his lips, smiling and saying, "Let this cool you down."
Xu Ziyu raised his hand to push her arm away, took out his earphones and put them in his ears.
"I want to hear it too." She didn't care about his indifference at all, moved closer, took an earphone from his ear, and put it directly into her own ear.
When she heard it wasn't singing but reading in French, she rolled her eyes and said, "Tuantuan, are you so boring? Don't you have enough schoolwork? You have to learn French too? Don't you have any hobbies besides studying?"
Xu Ziyu ignored her and turned to look out the window.
Luo Xikui took out her phone and started humming a song. After a while, she looked out the window and realized it wasn't the way home, so she asked curiously, "Aren't you going to take me home first?"
Xu Ziyu didn't look at her, and said in a low, rough voice, "Come to my house for tutoring."
Luo Xikui looked at him, blinked, and suddenly laughed, "Tuantuan, your voice is changing!"
