Zhang Shu still works like a slave for Wang Wei even on weekends.

If he didn't order the uniforms next week, it would be too late. Wang Wei almost came to urge him every morning and evening. Zhang Shu's computer at home didn't have professional drawing software. That stuff had to be paid for, so it wasn't worth buying it just for one use. The manuscript couldn't be printed. Zhang Shu mentioned it casually in the group, and Zhou Yingxiang volunteered, saying that his relative had opened a small advertising store nearby and could take Zhang Shu there.

So on that hot day, Zhang Shu came to the store.

After working all afternoon, they finally finished the design and sent it to Wang Wei. Zhang Shu stretched his back and Zhou Yingxiang flattered him: "Brother Shu, you also know this? That's awesome."

Hou Junqi was playing games on the side and smiled. This is what it felt like to watch others fawning on him.

Zhang Shu said: "I was forced to do this."

Wang Wei is a very picky person. He is reluctant to find a designer even though there are so many of them on Taobao, and he has to find him and enslave him.

"If it were my brain, I wouldn't be able to force it out," Zhou Yingxiang said as the three of them walked out of the advertising store, "Brother Shu, how about we go out and have a rub?"

"It's too hot. I won't go." Zhang Shu just said goodbye and then thought, I just asked someone to help me, it's not good to leave them alone like this, "Okay, let's go have some ice cream, I'll treat you."

"It's my treat." Zhou Yingxiang said.

Zhang Shu said, "Then I won't go."

"Okay, okay, please."

Hou Junqi said, "Ah Shu, you're still going to buy me a necklace, right? Let Lao Wang reimburse you for this meal."

"Him?" Zhang Shu snorted coldly, "Why not ask him to give the girls a few more dollars to buy dresses?"

"Hahahaha die!"

Zhou Yingxiang was confused and asked, "What necklace? What dress?"

Zhang Shu didn't answer him and suddenly stopped.

Zhou Yingxiang almost bumped into Zhang Shu's back.

"What's up, Brother Shu?"

Hou Junqi also stopped and was as confused as Zhou Yingxiang, and then they looked in the direction Zhang Shu was looking.

On the road directly opposite the entrance of the advertising store, a small white electric donkey was parked under the shade of a roadside tree. A girl in a high school uniform was lying there, her shoulders shaking slightly.

I couldn't hear any sound from the distance, but I could tell from her posture that she was crying.

Zhang Shu frowned, rolled up the sample magazine in his hand, put it in Hou Junqi's arms, and strode to the side of the road.

"Hey, Brother Shu?" Zhou Yingxiang was about to follow him, but Hou Junqi pulled him back, "Stop!"

Zhou Yingxiang looked at Hou Junqi suspiciously, "Eating ice cream, not going?"

"Eat your mother's cunt." Stupid people really make people irritated.

"Who is that?"

"Your Shuge goddess."

"Ah? Not Chen Mengyao?"

"Stupid."

“…”

Shengxia was lying on the ground, her tears falling on the pedals. Crying is something that requires a lot of lung capacity. She was a little out of breath and stood up slowly. But she forgot that she was lying on the front of the car. When she loosened her hands, the car shook.

There was a flash of panic in her mind, but before she could react, someone grabbed her arm and the front of the car was stabilized.

She raised her eyes and saw a familiar yet unfamiliar face in her hazy vision.

What was familiar was that this was the face she had been facing day and night for more than two months.

What was strange was his expression.

No longer looking arrogant and leisurely, he frowned, with an emotion in his eyes that she couldn't describe.

"You..." she started to speak, and her breath was shuddering because she had been lying down for a long time. Her shoulders twitched and tears flowed out with the movement, a string of crystal drops hanging on her cheeks.

Shengxia was embarrassed by the hiccup.

But Zhang Shu just felt that these tears were unpleasant to the eyes.

He raised his hand unconsciously and ran the back of his fingers across her cheek, leaving it wet.

This time, Shengxia had no time and forgot to dodge. She stared at him in a daze and gradually came back to her senses.

How long had she been crying? This wasn't a school? Why was he here? When did he come? He, why did he touch her again without permission?

"Just passing by." Zhang Shu said.

Shengxia looked at him with panicked eyes, then looked around and saw that there was no one around. Then she returned her gaze to Zhang Shu's face.

How does he know what she is thinking?

Zhang Shu was amused by her reaction and reminded her, "I don't have any tissues, stop crying."

Shengxia sniffed, took out a tissue from her schoolbag, and carefully wiped away her tears. When she looked up again, her face was as clean as before, but her red eyes were still sparkling.

Blindingly red.

Zhang Shu looked away slightly and asked, "Are you going to school?"

Shengxia nodded. Her breathing was still rapid after crying, and her nose was twitching, which made her look particularly pitiful.

"What are you doing so early?"

"learn."

Zhang Shu looked at his watch. "It's almost five o'clock. Are you going to study instead of eating?"

She was planning to find a random restaurant at the North Gate, or go to the supermarket to buy some bread. But she didn't want to say such a long sentence, so she just said, "I'm not hungry."

"It's so hot. I'm not riding a bike. Let's go eat together?" He said, fanning his face with his palm in a serious manner.

Shengxia's eyes widened slightly, "Together?"

"no?"

"I, no thanks, I bought some snacks." She made an excuse.

Zhang Shu laughed briefly. "What snacks? Lollipops or candies, orange soda or Wangzai milk?"

Shengxia was complaining in her heart, why was he laughing like that again, it was so annoying, but before she could finish her complaint, she froze.

She looked at him in confusion and shock.

What does it mean?

He knows everything?

So what should she say?

"You stuffed me with a law and you're going to send me packing with those snacks?"

He really knew it!

The air stagnated for half a minute.

"I'm sorry." Shengxia's mind was blank. She had no ability to think at all and could only follow the advice.

Zhang Shu said: "I won't accept it unless..."

"Um?"

"Please treat me to dinner," he said.

Zhou Yingxiang and Hou Junqi looked at each other in bewilderment at the door of the cat-in-the-advertising store.

At first, they were shocked to see the usually arrogant guy gently wiping the girl's tears.

Later, I saw the two of them chatting about something, and the girl got out of the car. Zhang Shu drove the car, and the girl sat in the back seat, and the electric donkey drove away.

Just abandon them.

Just like that, the pigeon that "ate ice" was released.

Zhou Yingxiang was angry.

If he knew that the person who just said it was too hot and didn't want to eat was trying to trick someone else into going out to eat with him, he would probably be furious.

Shengxia sat behind him again. This time he was obviously much more skilled. He started and accelerated smoothly.

And she didn't dare to speak behind him anymore.

Zhang Shu felt the gust of wind on his back and knew that she was about ten feet away from him. He smiled helplessly, then added, "Can we not eat near the school?" after remembering her promise.

Are you so afraid of having anything to do with him?

Zhang Shu rode his bike into the east gate of Nanjing University of Science and Technology.

Shengxia asked from behind: "Do you want to eat here?"

Zhang Shu nodded, "There's a very good pork bone noodle restaurant inside."

"Oh, okay."

She quite likes Japanese food.

The store is located in the sunken plaza of the Student Activity Center of NUST. Cars need to be parked above and people need to walk down.

Zhang Shu was wearing a black T-shirt, jeans, and white sneakers today, and he wouldn't look out of place among the college students. However, Shengxia was still wearing a high school uniform. Her fair and tender face was not made up, and her ponytail had a few strands of hair standing up, making her look even more childish. When the two of them walked together, they looked like a college student seducing a minor.

The university campus was crowded with people on weekends, especially at mealtimes. Every store in the sunken plaza was packed with people and there were queues. The two of them looked eye-catching, and many people looked at them as soon as they entered the store.

"You find a seat and sit down. I'll go order the food. What do you want to eat?" he asked, tilting his head.

Because of the crowd, he and she were almost very close. Shengxia's heart skipped a beat and he moved to the side. "It's all right."

"Do you like spicy food?" He asked calmly, completely unaware.

"A little."

"Okay, wait for me."

"Um."

Shengxia went to find a seat first. Zhang Shu looked at her well-behaved appearance and smiled. What would she do if he suddenly pinched her face?

Will you be scared and cry?

Shengxia sat down and then remembered that this was not the kind of restaurant where you order at the table. Wouldn't he have to pay directly if he ordered at the counter? She had agreed to treat him, but she couldn't leave her seat for fear that someone else would take it, so she could only wait.

Zhang Shu found her a few minutes later and sat down opposite her.

Shengxia said, "I should pay for it."

"There's a long way to go, next time," said Zhang Shu.

next time……

Shengxia lowered her head and said, "Maybe it won't happen again next time."

She didn't say anything, and the scene was quiet for a moment. She was really worried that he would ask her why she was crying, so she carefully found a topic to talk about, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you before."

Bringing up the topic also makes it easier to apologize formally.

"It doesn't matter." Zhang Shu had a nonchalant expression, and it seemed that he didn't intend to discuss this topic in depth.

He is so nonchalant. Why does he insist on asking her to treat him to a meal? Why does he ask her to treat him but not let her pay? He says he will do it next time. What on earth is he doing?

"When did you know..." she asked and her voice trailed off.

Zhang Shu curled his lips and said, "When opening the gifts."

What?

In the middle of summer, a pair of peach blossom eyes were wide open, unable to utter a word.

Zhang Shu snorted and smiled helplessly, fearing that if the topic continued, she would not be able to eat the meal. He changed the subject and said, "So, after reading my wrong answer book, what do you think?"

How did he know that she had read his wrong answer book?

How does he know everything?

Shengxia hesitated, thought for a moment, and replied in a low voice: "Very systematic."

His notebook of wrong answers has a horizontal line on the right and bottom, dividing each page into three parts. The large middle section contains the wrong questions, which he usually just cuts and pastes, writes the correct answers, and marks the areas where mistakes are likely to be made on the right. Below is a summary of the knowledge points and some divergent thinking.

"But I have a question." Shengxia said.

Zhang Shu raised his eyebrows, leaned back in his chair, and looked like he was listening attentively.

"Why are some questions that you didn't get wrong posted in the wrong question book?"

It seems that she is paying close attention.

張澍說：“因為典型。有些題做對了，有可能是稀裏糊塗誤打誤撞做對的，這種也算不會，還有一些題，看似簡單，但是特別容易錯。”

“對，”這正是盛夏的症結所在，她總是反複做錯一些不算難的題，“一些題，總是粗心。”

“不，不是粗心，”張澍說，“粗心就是不會。”

“嗯？”她不明白。實際上是會的啊。

“粗心，有時候是因為手比腦子快，有時候是因為覺得這一步只是中間步驟，可以快速略過，每一次都這樣略過，等這個知識點作為最終步驟的時候，你就會出錯。歸根結底還是不夠熟悉，所以，粗心本質上就是不會。”

盛夏瓷了幾秒，她沒法形容當下的感覺。

原來，茅塞頓開是這樣的，通透清爽得好像擦掉了眼鏡上多年的積塵。

張澍說這話的時候很随意，也沒有說教的模樣，他只是陳述。

盛夏怔怔地看着他，原來有些人的優秀，從來就不是偶然。

“怎麽，帥呆了？”他俯身，在她眼前晃了晃。

盛夏回神，移開視線，嘴裏喃喃：“自戀。”

張澍笑了笑。

豚骨面确實味道不錯，不比盛夏吃過的日料餐廳裏的差，但她飯量小，湯喝了不少，面卻剩了大半。

張澍看看她，“再吃點。”

“吃不下了。”她耷拉着肩，一副吃累了的樣子。

這模樣有點嬌俏，還有點撒嬌的意味，她全然未覺。

張澍輕咳了聲，“真不吃了？”

“不吃了。”

“給我吧。”說着他筷子已經伸過來，從她碗裏夾走了剩下的面。

盛夏：……

這是她吃過的呀！

耳根不受控制的開始發燙。

張澍低頭吃面，想起什麽似的，擡頭，“以後有問題可以直接問我，今天這個問題你要是早點問，是不是就很好？”

盛夏想了想，點頭。

“問題得解決了才有用，哭沒有用，”他說着，好像覺得話重了，頓了頓，補充，“當然，哭一哭也行，哭爽了再想辦法，下次考試不會倒數的。”

他，以為她是為了成績哭的麽？

這個誤會，倒也行。

“先努力看吧，至于成績，盡人事聽天命。”她沒有什麽信心。

“聽什麽天命，你那麽有理想，怎麽可能輸，”張澍待她擡眼四目相對，說，“你對你的潛力一無所知。”

盛夏沒想到，有一天她可以這樣和張澍對話。

回到教室，她還在思考這個問題，她之前對張澍的誤會，是不是太深了？他其實，是個不賴的同學。

而且，她膽戰心驚很久的事在他那裏好像并不是什麽事。男女生在意的點還真的很不一樣。

一整晚，侯駿岐都奇奇怪怪，時不時回頭賊兮兮地看着她，最後，盛夏實在忍不住，問道：“侯哥，請問您有什麽事嗎？”

她眼神無奈，語氣帶着點調侃，平時大家都叫他侯哥，還有叫大聖的，侯駿岐都習慣了，并不覺得有什麽，可現在他有點理解為什麽張澍不讓盛夏叫他名字了。

那個尾音，真的是要命。

“诶，”侯駿岐忽然來了興致，“不如你叫聲澍哥聽聽？”

盛夏：……這是什麽莫名其妙的要求啊？

她瞪了侯駿岐一眼。

“嘿！”侯駿岐覺得稀奇極了，忽然就站起來，隔着一整個教室叫最北邊的張澍，“阿澍，盛夏瞪我！”

即便是下課時間，教室裏吵吵鬧鬧，他這一聲還是過于響亮招眼了，不少人好奇地看戲。

盛夏都不知道該做何表情了，他這話怎麽跟告狀似的，這讓別人怎麽想。

張澍正在給別人講題，聞言擡起頭，看着高高站着“邀功”的侯駿岐和埋頭看書的少女，也瞪了侯駿岐一眼，說：“扯淡！”

然後他繼續給人講題。

侯駿岐被潑了冷水，卻熱情不減，他穿過整個教室來到張澍座位，正好那個問問題的同學走了，他湊到張澍跟前，笑嘻嘻地說：“真的，小盛夏真的瞪我了！”

張澍周邊的同學都略感震驚：這侯駿岐不會是喜歡盛夏吧，叫那麽親昵，瞪他他還高興？

張澍問：“你幹什麽了？”

侯駿岐湊到張澍耳邊，“我讓她叫聲澍哥聽聽。”

張澍面色不變，眼皮一擡，“嗯，再接再厲。”

侯駿岐笑眯眯地走了。

周圍同學：這情景究竟是怎麽個展開法？

侯駿岐走到講臺，想起什麽，又拍拍腦袋，折返回到張澍桌邊，稍顯深沉地說：“阿澍，我上周聽見盛夏和盧宥澤約好一起回家……”

話沒說完他看見張澍臉色一變，忙修正，“不是一起回一個家，他們是鄰居，盛夏怕黑才沒上第三節 晚修，這下發現是鄰居了，盧宥澤就叫她一塊上完第三節晚修再一起回去，小盛夏……答應了。”

還答應得很高興。這句他沒說。

張澍睨他一眼。

“換個座，”張澍收拾了幾張數理化卷子，“你來我這。”

侯駿岐：……

“好嘞。”

盛夏看着忽然出現在她前邊的人，低下頭去。

經過那一頓飯，她和張澍好像熟悉了些，但是這份熟悉，總讓盛夏覺得有那麽一絲奇怪，她也說不上來是怎樣一種奇怪、哪裏奇怪，總之現在他再和她說話，她感覺有些不自在。

“盛夏。”他扭頭叫她。

盛夏擡眼，“嗯？”

張澍說：“你錯題本我看看。”

“啊？”

“啊什麽，你澍哥私教時間很寶貴，趕緊。”張澍幹脆倒着跨坐，手搭在椅背，就這麽看着她。

你、澍、哥……

盛夏握筆的手險些拿不住。

侯俊岐抽風傳染他了麽？

上課鈴打響了，她不想再多說鬧出動靜，問：“哪一科？”

張澍一副“我都恩賜了你就這态度”的表情，“全都。”

“啊？”

于是，盛夏掏出了她的數學、物理、化學、生物、英語錯題本。

“英語就算了，從數學開始講。”

“可是已經上課了。”這樣怎麽講？而且她許多作業都還沒有做完。

張澍簡單一翻，發現她都是手抄原題，“我先看看你原本怎麽整理的，對應的試卷有沒有？”

盛夏的資料都整理得很整齊，一要就能拿出來。

而張澍并沒有轉回去，就這麽靠着侯駿岐的桌子，資料搭在她桌邊翻看，并不占用她的桌面空間。

但盛夏還是覺得施展不開，渾身不自在。

雖說晚自習沒這麽多講究，但是周圍同學都看着呢，她現在坐窗邊這列，數學老師賴意琳在外邊也朝她看過來……

“張澍……”她低聲叫他。

“嗯？”

“你轉過去。”

“什麽？”他沒聽清。

盛夏嘆氣，撕下一張便利貼，在上邊寫：【你轉過去】。

然後貼在了張澍正在看的卷子上。

只見他嘴角微微彎起，瞥了她一眼，并沒有執行轉過去的請求，悠然從她筆筒裏抽了只筆，寫：【為什麽？】

盛夏回：【老師在看】

張澍看向窗外，賴意琳已經跟別的同學講題去了，他挑挑眉，寫：

【沒人在看你】

剛要遞給她，想起什麽似的，又收回，繼續寫：

【除了我】

他到底在說什麽啊！！

張澍絲毫不覺得有什麽似的，低頭看錯題本，只留下盛夏看着紙條風中淩亂。

她把便利貼一揉，扔進了垃圾袋。

張澍就這麽反向坐了一節課，時不時提要求：

“鉛筆是哪只？”

“紅筆呢？”

“橡皮。”

辛筱禾投來八卦的目光，隔着走道沖盛夏挑眉，然後對張澍唇語：“騷、啊、老、弟！”

張澍一邊嘴角扯了扯，不回應，不置評，視線專注在卷子上，鉛筆勾勾畫畫，狀态随意得像塗鴉，學習也學得一派潇灑。

下課鈴響，走讀生收拾東西走人，教室裏喧鬧起來，路過的幾個男生打趣地看着張澍，還有人拍拍他的肩膀笑說：“阿澍，這麽樂于助人？”

“什麽時候給我也看看？”

“我也排隊啊澍哥？”

張澍的回應一律是眼神攻擊。

侯駿岐回到自己座位，“喲”一聲，誇張地感慨，“原來我這椅子還能這麽坐呢，我才知道呢阿澍！”

“打開新世界的大門啊！”

“666！”

再這樣盛夏有點想走了。

她轉身，問盧囿澤，“你一般幾點走呀？”

盧囿澤說：“差不多十一點，如果你想早些也可以的。”

回到家差不多十一點二十，洗漱過後再背背單詞，時間正合适。

盛夏想了想，“就十一點吧。”

兩人對話的時候，張澍和侯駿岐在旁觀，這情景落在旁人眼中，又是一段你追我我追他的三角劇情。

辛筱禾和楊臨宇耳語。

“張澍是不是在追盛夏啊？”

“不知道，總之他不太正常。”

“我隐約聽說一些風聲。”

“張澍和盧囿澤是不是上輩子有仇，這輩子注定當情敵？”

“盛夏也沒喜歡盧囿澤吧？”

“誰知道呢，鄰居，人家不是說了倆爸有交情，高級點這叫世交。”

“哦嚯，還是初中同學。”

“知根知底。”

“門當戶對。”

"I think chasing Sheng Xia is much more difficult than chasing Chen Mengyao."

"Zhang Shu is stubborn."

"Okay, let me tell you." Zhang Shu tapped the table with his notebook.

Shengxia turned around and said, "Well, thank you."

Be polite and clearly distinguish between the two.

Zhang Shu talked about her efficiency in copying questions, classification of questions, how to make a summary, how to find and mark easy-to-make mistakes, but he didn't finish teaching even one subject until the bell for the third evening revision rang.

"Come out with me." Zhang Shu stood up, picked up her notebook, and went out first.

Shengxia had already been watched for a whole class, and if she continued to be shy, it would seem that there was really something wrong. So she just went out with him with her notes in hand.

Teacher Lai was sitting outside, so they were not alone.

Although Zhang Shu was usually very arrogant, he was quite patient when talking about the questions and methodology. In the end, even Lai Yilin came over to discuss, praising Zhang Shu from time to time, which allowed Shengxia to understand it well.

To be honest, she was having trouble digesting it and should have recorded it.

At a certain moment, she would glance at his profile as he explained seriously, and would be distracted for a moment, feeling that there were layers of light circles around him, and his figure was hazy and handsome.

After half a class, Zhang Shu said, "Before the next monthly exam, follow what I just said and reorganize your math problem book. Do every problem again before the exam. You can take your time with other subjects. Math is the foundation."

Hearing this, Lai Yilin nodded solemnly, "You are right. Mathematics is the most important thing. It is much more useful to understand the wrong questions than to solve the new ones."

Shengxia also nodded solemnly, "I know, I will."

"If you don't know, ask me," Zhang Shu said, and then added, "Ask Teacher Lai."

Lai Yilin smiled and said, "Ask him. It's so convenient. Ask him more."

"good."

When they returned to the classroom, Zhang Shu switched back to Hou Junqi.

Shengxia was concentrating on digesting what Zhang Shu had just said. After class, the students who lived in the dormitory left one after another, and people were coming and going outside the corridor. Shengxia simply closed the window and continued to fight.

At eleven o'clock, Lu Youze reminded: "Shengxia, shall we go?"

She came to her senses and felt that time had passed too quickly. It turned out that she could concentrate more when studying in the classroom.

"Okay, let's go."

The two of them left the classroom one after the other. Shengxia felt a little emotional. It was so late and there were still so many people in the classroom. If she wasn't left behind, who would be left behind?

Zhang Shu hasn't left yet. It seems he is catching up on his homework. She just took up too much of his time.

Even Hou Junqi hasn't left yet, he's still writing his English test paper.

In fact, within two minutes of Shengxia's departure, Zhang Shu had finished his homework and came over to greet Hou Junqi, "Let's go."

"Finally!" Hou Junqi followed.

"Xiao Shengxia just went back with Lu Youze."

Zhang Shu threw his schoolbag over his shoulder and said nonchalantly: "I'm not blind."

He saw it. If you follow him, you want to be a hundred feet away from him, but if you follow others, you will be very busy.

Hou Junqi didn't understand, "Then why did you change seats?" He thought Zhang Shu changed seats to ruin the two of them going home together, so this is the outcome?

Zhang Shu said: "Two different things."

"ah?"

"Just being helpful, isn't it?"

Hou Junqi was too lazy to expose him: "That's nonsense."

Shengxia rode a bicycle with Lu Youze out of the school gate one after the other. When they reached the non-motorized lane, they walked side by side. Even if she slowed down, Lu Youze couldn't keep up with her on his bicycle. He smiled and said, "It seems that the electric donkey is easier. I will buy one someday. What brand is yours?"

"I don't know," Shengxia said, not having noticed it before. "Let's take a look later. There's a trademark on the back."

"How's your study going recently?" Lu Youze started the conversation casually.

"It's OK," Shengxia answered casually, but thinking about her grades, how could it be OK? She sighed, "Actually, I don't know."

"I don't think Zhang Shu is counseling you?"

Why did he mention Zhang Shu? Shengxia paused, thought for a while, and then said, "It was Teacher Wang who asked me to ask him how to sort out the wrong questions, but the method of the top student is not that easy to learn, it is quite difficult..."

The topic turned back to study. Lu Youze continued: "Well, you still have to find a method that suits you."

"Um."

There was a momentary silence, but luckily both of them were riding bikes so it wasn't awkward.

After a while, Lu Youze broke the silence: "How are you finding dresses? My dad and his friends often have events that require dresses, so they should know someone. Do you need me to make the contact for you?"

Shengxia then remembered that she had been delayed for so long by Wu Qiuxuan's matter that she had completely forgotten about it.

"No need to be too grand, I'll just look for it casually."

"How can that be possible?" Lu Youze smiled, "I heard that the students in our class are already competing in the dormitory to see who is more popular between you and Chen Mengyao."

This……

Shengxia couldn't say anything to spoil the fun. These were things she couldn't control. She just replied calmly, "I'll go back and ask my family."

"Let me know if you need help."

"Thank you."

“You’re so kind.”

The two of them chatted awkwardly until they reached Feicui Lanting. Shengxia arrived first, so Lu Youze still had to go around to Area A.

"See you tomorrow then."

"Well, see you tomorrow."
