This speech almost confused Zhang Shu. This was the longest speech he had ever heard her speak since they met.
Zhang Shu chuckled and said helplessly, "Okay, you are really cultured. I can't beat you. Get in the car."
How does she get on?
Sideways, or astride...
After waiting for a while, the girl still didn't move. Zhang Shu turned around and saw that she looked confused.
"Sitting sideways is against traffic regulations and is against the law," he reminded, and then he smiled as he remembered the law. "Aren't you a good citizen who obeys the law?"
Shengxia didn't realize there was anything wrong with what he said. After hesitating for a few seconds, she still stepped into the back seat, then moved back a little bit, without touching the person in front of her at all with her whole body.
Zhang Shu twisted the handle and set off.
Xiaobai's speed limit is 40 mph. Normally, she only rides 30 mph at most. When entering the community and campus, she keeps the speed below 20 mph. Zhang Shu squeezed the handlebars to the end as soon as he got on. Shengxia almost fell down because of inertia and leaned back. Fortunately, she grabbed the rear guardrail tightly...
My heart was pounding.
Zhang Shu loosened his grip a little and slowed down, saying apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'll get used to it."
Shengxia reminded: "Slow down..."
The wind blew her weak voice back, and Zhang Shu didn't hear clearly, "What did you say?"
Shengxia was still nervous, so she leaned closer and patiently repeated in his ear, "Slow down..."
Slow down...
The soft and thin voice, with a mixture of helplessness, exhortation and begging, brushed past Zhang Shu's earlobe like a feather in the wind.
This line?
"Squeak--" The car braked suddenly and made a harsh sound as it rubbed against the ground. Shengxia fell on his back due to inertia. The boy's back was stiff and tense, which hurt her. Then she reacted quickly and distanced herself from him.
He! Can he ride a bike?
"Shut up!" Zhang Shu turned around and suddenly growled at the girl.
Shengxia: ...She didn’t even say the question she just raised, why did he tell her to shut up?
He looked very angry, his ears and cheeks were red.
But isn't she the one who should be angry?
Too fierce, too scary, too inexplicable.
The second half of the journey was much smoother. He drove at a steady speed and turned very steadily.
The first and second year high school students are still on vacation, so there are not many people on campus in the early morning, but there are a few people who come early.
In the middle of summer, I wear a helmet and lower my head, wishing I could disappear from the world.
A boy and a girl ride a bike together...
She didn't know what the public opinion environment was like in the Affiliated High School. If it was in No. 2 High School, rumors of premature love would be all over the place within a day. If the person involved had a good reputation, the public opinion would stop there. If the reputation was worse, there would be even worse things to say.
She should have refused him.
Fortunately, there was no one in the carport at that moment. As soon as the car stopped, Shengxia got out quickly, took off his helmet, took the car from him, moved it to a park, hung the helmet on the handrail, took off the key, and locked the car.
Then she picked up her schoolbag and walked towards the teaching building.
The series of actions were completed in one go, and she didn't even look at him during the whole process.
Zhang Shu stood there with his back straight, just watching the girl leave without calling her.
The two of them did not communicate at all the entire morning, neither verbally, through eye contact nor body language.
In midsummer, she rarely went out to get water. If she really had to go out, she would just keep silent and wait for him to move the water for her.
Even Hou Junqi felt that these two people were a bit strange, but he didn't know what was strange, so he kept looking back.
"What are you doing sneakily?" Zhang Shu said mercilessly.
The happiest thing for Hou Junqi today is that he can go to Sister Su Jin's place for dinner! He chuckled and said, "I'm a little excited to think about having delicious food at noon. I'm almost crying."
Zhang Shu: "Promising."
Hou Junqi looked at Shengxia who was standing beside him and said, "Little Shengxia, are you taking care of your child on the second floor of the North Gate?"
Shengxia nodded: "Yeah."
"Let's have lunch together at noon?" Hou Junqi was overjoyed and treated everyone like a family member.
Shengxia was confused and suddenly learned to refuse directly: "No."
Even more resolute than when I refused to run for the Chinese class representative.
Hou Junqi was stunned. How come the soft and flirty little Shengxia suddenly grew thorns? He turned his head to look at Zhang Shu, but he only saw a face that looked indifferent.
But in the end, Shengxia still met Zhang Shu and Hou Junqi at the after-school care center.
Although she knew they were relatives, she was still slightly surprised to see Zhang Shu standing in front of the boss. The two looked like male and female copies of the same mold. He called the boss "sister", so she was probably his biological sister.
Although the boss is beautiful, she looks to be almost 30 years old. Is she a dozen years older than Zhang Shu?
No wonder he was named "Shu", his parents must have had a son late in life.
So is that why he is so spoiled that he becomes fierce all day long?
Shengxia ate quickly, and when Hou Junqi saw her, she was already ready to pack up and leave.
"Hey? Xiao Shengxia? Why did you leave?"
The answer he got was Shengxia's polite nod and a resolute back.
Hou Junqi: "Why does she look like she's fleeing from disaster?"
"I think your name is too offensive." Zhang Shu said calmly as he took the tray and sat down.
Hou Junqi said innocently: "Xiao Shengxia? How could I be mean to you? You are so kind."
"He's not small." Zhang Shu finished speaking, and saw Hou Junqi's eyes widened. He knew that this guy was full of garbage, so he rolled his eyes and added, "He's 1.66 meters tall."
Hou Junqi: "I really can't tell. She looks so small that I thought she was only 1.5 meters tall?"
Zhang Shu: "Is it that serious?"
Zhang Shu had originally thought that she was too skinny, but when he held her arm while writing that day, she didn’t feel skinny, and she fell on his back that morning…
He's plump, probably just because he has a small frame.
She was slim, fair, soft and delicate. Compared to a tall and strong man like Hou Junqi, she looked small, but not even 1.5 meters tall.
"Exaggeration, exaggeration," Hou Junqi replied, "But how did you know?"
Zhang Shu raised his eyebrows, but didn't answer, and continued eating. He had an expression that said, "I know what I mean."
Hou Junqi took a few bites of rice, and after lamenting how hard it was to get this meal, he suddenly seemed to remember something and changed the subject, "Why do I feel like Xiao Shengxia is avoiding you?"
Zhang Shu raised his eyelids and glanced at him indifferently - not too harshly.
Hou Junqi: "Why?"
Zhang Shu paused for a moment and said, "Because I feel guilty."
Hou Junqi asked, "Why do you feel guilty?"
Zhang Shu didn't plan to talk about what happened in the morning, he only told Hou Junqi about the birthday present.
Hou Junqi nearly spit a mouthful of soup onto the table, so he swallowed it hard, choked, and coughed while laughing until tears came out of his eyes. "Hahahahahahahaha, the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China is amazing! It's so interesting, hahahahaha!"
Zhang Shu said, "Stop putting your treasures in my schoolbag!"
Hou Junqi coughed: "Yes, sir. Hahahahahaha. We must obey the rules and laws. Hahahaha!"
"Shut up, you're spraying rice."
"So you're not going to explain?"
"What does nothing mean?"
Those who owe money are always more arrogant than those who borrow money, and those who report things are always more nervous than the person involved.
How interesting?
