The morning was cooler, which was Nanli's way of showing respect to autumn.

In midsummer, she wore a yellow cardigan over a white cotton skirt. The wide hem of her skirt covered her left leg, which was wrapped in plaster. Her right foot was wearing a pair of white shallow-toe canvas shoes. She looked simple and gentle, like a flower of French melanin.

Fa Yu leaned on a cane, feeling like a broken sick beauty.

Wang Lianhua's car could only drive to the main road on the other side of Class 1. Shengxia walked through the long corridor with a cane, from Class 1 to Class 6. The people in the classroom turned their heads to look at the same time, as synchronized as a flock of geese.

When she entered the classroom, everyone's eyes lit up - this was the first time she wore a skirt in midsummer.

Unlike the fancy dresses worn during school sports meets, this skirt couldn't be simpler, without any decorations or even a waistline, but it was still very eye-catching.

This is a person's shirt.

Classmates gathered around to greet her with concern, and Wang Lianhua left with peace of mind.

Shengxia looked back at her mother's back and saw nothing different. But Wang Lianhua was obviously different today.

I ironed the skirts early and let her choose which one to wear.

Unprecedented.

Shengxia was thinking and responding to her classmates' caring inquiries when she suddenly heard a female voice outside the corridor: "Zhang Shu!"

The sound was pleasant to the ears, and everyone subconsciously looked over.

Zhang Shu was stopped by Chen Mengyao at the classroom door.

"Something?" He put one hand in his pocket and held a lunch box in the other.

Chen Mengyao glanced at it and asked, "What is this?"

Zhang Shu lifted it a little higher and said, "Feed the cat." Then he looked at her again, indicating with his eyes: Is there something wrong?

Feed the cat?

Chen Mengyao: "Such a big food box, do you think I'm blind? What kind of giant cat eats so much?"

But she didn't care too much, tugged at his sleeve, and said, "Come over here and talk."

Zhang Shu glanced around the classroom and twisted his shoulders inadvertently when he turned around. Chen Mengyao's hand fell and then naturally dropped.

The two stood at the place where Wang Wei's "Intimate Brother Time" was being performed, talking with their backs to the classroom.

Chen Mengyao got straight to the point: "Because of the art exam, I fell behind a lot in terms of cultural aspects. The last monthly exam was terrible, and I don't know how this monthly exam will go. I don't have any confidence at all. If this continues, don't even think about getting into Heyan and Dongzhou, let alone Nanfang Art..."

She paused, looked up at Zhang Shu, and saw that his brows were slightly raised. "And then?"

And then! It's so obvious, and yet what?

"Then, my mother wanted to find a cram school for me outside, but my schedule was not very focused, so I could only sign up for a one-on-one class. I thought, why not find you? You teach better than those teachers..."

"Then how much are you going to give me?" Zhang Shu interrupted her.

Chen Mengyao was stunned.

"Ah~" Zhang Shu took a step back and looked at her with amusement, "You don't plan to pay?"

"Not really..." Chen Mengyao frowned. In fact, she was just planning to treat him to a meal or something, but since he asked, she changed her mind and said, "Isn't this a negotiation?"

In the classroom, a group of people looked at them and whispered something.

"Chen Mengyao has been very attentive to Zhang Shu recently?"

“Do you feel a sense of crisis?”

"But I heard that Zhang Shu gave her an expensive necklace for her birthday? They are not together yet?"

“Ahem!”

The man just spoke too quickly. After he reacted, he looked at Shengxia and shut up in embarrassment.

As a result, a few people paid attention to Shengxia's few words and then scattered like birds and beasts.

The people surrounding them left, and the view became much wider. Shengxia could see the backs of the matching couple in the corridor out of the corner of her eye.

At this moment, Zhang Shu seemed to hear something funny. He took a step back, turned his body to face Chen Mengyao, and then faced the class.

He just glanced casually and met Shengxia's curious eyes.

He tilted his head slightly, raised his eyebrows, and curled the corners of his mouth at her.

Shengxia suddenly lowered his head!

What did that look mean? She wasn't peeking at them, just a glance. How come she was caught?

Chen Mengyao noticed his expression, as if he was teasing some small animal, so she followed his gaze and looked.

The yellow hue was particularly dazzling. When she turned around again, Zhang Shu was expressionless.

Chen Mengyao said: "Then you name a price. I mainly think it would be easier to communicate in terms of time."

"Does it mean I can come and go at my will?" Zhang Shu said in a calm tone, without any anger, and in a lazy tone, "Then you have to pay more. You also said that I teach better than the one-on-one teachers outside, so why shouldn't I pay more than them? Go and find out how much it costs first, and then we can talk."

This official attitude made Chen Mengyao feel a little embarrassed, "Ah Shu, why did you become like this?"

Zhang Shu frowned, "I have always been like this? Don't you know it best? People say I search too much, weren't you the first to say that?"

She didn't actually mean whether to search or not.

But when he said "it's always been like this", it didn't seem to be wrong. In fact, he had always had this nonchalant attitude. She used to think he was just being arrogant, and she thought it was quite intimate and interesting to sneer at each other.

Now I feel like every word pierces my heart.

Chen Mengyao's palms were cold.

It wasn't him who changed, it seemed to be her.

Zhang Shu glanced into the room from time to time, not knowing what he saw, and his eyes turned cold.

"Okay, let's leave it at that for now. You should look for a cram school. They are very professional. There's no need to look for me. I'm busy too, okay?"

Chen Mengyao: …

In the classroom, Shengxia had just taken out her English test paper when Lu Youze came over from behind her and asked, "How long does the doctor say it will take before it can be removed?"

Shengxia remembered that she threw away her phone after replying to "Song Jiang" last night and forgot to check his message again.

Thinking of this, Shengxia felt a little embarrassed and said gently: "It may take more than seven weeks."

Lu Youze said: "That's really a long time. If you need help, just let me know anytime. We live nearby anyway."

"Okay, thank you."

"Don't be so polite. I feel like we're not familiar with each other," Lu Youze smiled. "Does your family pick you up and drop you off? What are your plans for lunch and dinner?"

Shengxia said "hmm" and was about to answer when a cold voice came from behind her.

"You don't have to worry about that, Master Lu." Zhang Shu pushed the lunch box onto Shengxia's table, sat down next to her, and pointed with his chin, "Tsk, tsk?"

The last two words were addressed to midsummer.

Shengxia caught a glimpse of many amusing looks out of the corner of her eyes.

Lu Youze tightened his grip on the pen and said nothing.

Shengxia looked embarrassed. Should she accept his "feeding" in public?

"A dream comes true", but the excitement of last night is gone, and she feels a little embarrassed.

Zhang Shu really couldn't stand this sad look.

You were fine last night, but this morning you complain that his things are poisonous?

Zhang Shu opened the lunch box for her and introduced it, saying, "My sister made it. The quality is guaranteed."

The classmates around him looked at each other teasingly.

Zhang Shu pretended not to notice and stretched out his hand, making a "please" gesture, "My sister said, I'll make amends for your crime."

It turned out to be an apology.

Okay.

"It's okay, you didn't mean it," Shengxia said in a gentle voice, "I accept it, I won't need it next time."

Zhang Shu said: "My sister said, I'll send you there until you recover."

ah?

Shengxia said: "My family makes breakfast in the morning."

Zhang Shu didn't care: "My sister said, then you should eat less and eat mine."

midsummer:……

Crowd: …

My sister said that it was tiring enough for his sister to take the blame for him.

As expected, don’t expect the king of arrogance to suddenly turn into a gentle person.

The soup is bone soup, which must have been filtered, without any greasy smell. The wontons are filled with shrimps, which are fresh and refreshing.

However, the wontons were different, some were very standard, and some were a bit ugly. To be honest, they didn't look like Zhang Sujin's style.

Shengxia felt it was strange to eat in the classroom, but Zhang Shu just stared at her with his cheeks propped up, looking like he wouldn't stop until she finished, so she could only stuff the food into her mouth.

But she was already full, and after eating a few, she couldn't eat any more. She looked at Zhang Shu in embarrassment: "I... can't eat any more."

Zhang Shu seemed to be in a daze. When he heard this, his eyebrows moved, as if he suddenly realized something. "Hmm? Oh, okay, it's okay. It doesn't matter if you can't eat. Just like a cat, I don't expect you to eat it."

Shengxia nodded. Suddenly, he took the lunch box away, found a plastic spoon from the side of the lunch box, scooped up the wontons and put them into his mouth...

Xin Xiaohe was dumbfounded. Has it come to the point of eating a bowl of wontons?

The down-and-out scholar did not lose heart, but became more and more courageous. He is quite mentally strong!

Shengxia was also stunned, and she glanced around unconsciously. It seemed that no one was paying attention to them. She lowered her head and pinched her brows.

At noon, Shengxia was "escorted" by Zhang Shu and Hou Junqi to eat.

Two tall men stood on the left and right, like they were clearing the way, with a lame man with crutches standing in the middle, and the rate of turning heads was 200%.

"You guys go first, no need to wait for me, I'm too slow." Shengxia stopped and politely declined the escort.

Zhang Shu looked at the dazzlingly white face in the sunlight.

The goose yellow knitted sweater made her look even whiter. Her slender white ankles were exposed under her skirt, and the laces of her canvas shoes were loose...

"Do you think no one will look at you if you leave?" Zhang Shu laughed.

Shengxia was speechless and was about to say something when she saw the boy suddenly squatting in front of her. She lowered her head and saw his fluffy hair, the whorls of hair were shiny black in the sunlight.

Then she felt a tightening on her instep—he was tying her shoelaces!

Hou Junqi on the side was full of interest, and said in a nasty way, "Wow, this service is really good!"

This time, it's not just the return rate that has increased, the duration of the return has also been extended.

Someone was watching too intently and didn't look at the road, so he bumped into the person in front of him who was looking back to eat the melons. Both parties apologized to each other.

Suddenly, the spacious corridor became bustling.

The summer is blushing.

Zhang Shu clapped his hands and stood up, looking at the bow he had tied with satisfaction, still looking carefree, "If I don't wait for you, you'll step on your shoelaces and fall flat on your face."

midsummer:……

Hou Junqi: If Ah Shu didn’t have a mouth, everything would be much smoother.

Shengxia was silent. Among the thirty-six strategies, running away was the best, so he hurried to speed up.

"Don't worry, no one is trying to steal your food!"

…

So annoying.

She has already said that she forgives him, there is no need for him to do this!

The lunch care center is on the second floor. Shengxia has not yet mastered the skill of going upstairs with crutches, so she hesitated in front of the stairs.

"Have you thought it through?" Zhang Shu asked, "Should I help you up or should you use your mind to fly up?"

Shengxia pursed her lips, looked up at him, her eyes sparkling.

Zhang Shu didn't want to care about what was going on in her head, so he gave her a choice: "Do you want me to help you, or does Hou Junqi?"

Hou Junqi waved his hands, "No, no, I'm fat and my arms are weak."

Today is Saturday, and they were delayed again. There are not many people here now.

Shengxia stood on one leg, handed the crutch to Hou Junqi, looked at Zhang Shu, and said, "Then I'll trouble you."

She held the stair handrail with one hand, while Zhang Shu supported her with the other.

But--

Still don’t know where to start? Should I jump up?

As I was hesitating, I heard an impatient sigh in my ear, "Hey, trouble!"

As soon as the words fell, midsummer rose into the sky!

Zhang Shu crossed his arms and hugged her again.

Before she could react, her hand had already subconsciously climbed onto his arm, and he had reached the corner with a few big strides. Avoiding the handrail that might hit her legs, he gently held her and turned around, continuing to walk upwards.

Two steps in one step.

"Wow~" Hou Junqi followed closely behind.

"You!" Shengxia looked at his tense jaw.

The accusatory words were being considered in her throat, but before they came out, he had slowly put her down and stared at her, "What are you talking about? The food will get cold if you wait for me to come up."

Just now, who said there was no need to rush and no one was trying to steal your food?

Shengxia looked carefully and found that they had reached the second floor.

So fast.

Normally, she couldn't walk that fast even with her healthy legs.

Today he delivered breakfast and fetched water during the break. Hou Junqi was right, he was serving her.

She couldn't say anything to blame, and seemed - just being sentimental.

Only my heart is left pounding.

She looked a little aggrieved as she was entangled in this dilemma.

Zhang Shu crossed his hips, squinted his eyes, and said "tsk", as if he was extremely helpless. He said slowly and soothingly: "Okay, I don't blame you."

Hou Junqi rolled his eyes, walked around the two of them and walked ahead, muttering, "You can't bear to watch this."
