Liu Yating didn't understand anything at all, she just wanted to say something to Tong Yan.
She glanced at Tong Yan unwillingly, then looked at Xu Xinduo, and finally turned away in frustration.
Xu Xinduo didn't pay much attention to her and went back to continue making cookies step by step.
While waiting for the cooldown, the classroom started to get noisy and many people were chatting.
Xu Xinduo was mixing the colors and making preparations in advance. Tong Yan came to Xu Xinduo and whispered, "I'm a little worried that Liu Yating will embarrass you. She has a bad temper."
"No."
"Why do you always defend her?"
"She likes you and won't do anything you don't like. She doesn't like me, firstly because of those false rumors, and secondly because she thinks I'm not worthy."
Tong Yan stared at Xu Xinduo, very puzzled, and couldn't help asking: "Then how to deal with it?"
Xu Xinduo glanced at Wei Lan, and then continued to adjust the color of the pigment.
Tong Yan walked over to Wei Lan, who was rubbing the butter off her school uniform jacket, and was then sent to find Liu Yating.
Wei Lan and Liu Yating were also familiar with each other. After all, they went to school together in Jiahua since they were young. After going over, she sat next to Liu Yating and then sighed: "Alas."
Liu Yating was in a bad mood. When she saw Wei Lan, she asked, "What's wrong?"
"I pursued her." Wei Lan whispered, and then nodded twice in the direction of Xu Xinduo with her chin, indicating, "Also, I knew that Zhen Longtao was going to cause trouble for her that weekend, so I took Brother Yan with me, but Brother Yan ended up taking the blame for me."
Liu Yating understood after listening to it. This was more reasonable and it suddenly became clear to her.
She knew Wei Lan, she was frivolous and fickle, so it was normal for her to pursue Xu Xinduo. They wouldn't be together for long anyway, so no one would care whether the conditions were suitable or not. It was just like a rich second generation looking for an internet celebrity to have fun with.
"Tong Yan asked you to explain it to me?" Liu Yating asked excitedly.
Wei Lan shook his head repeatedly. He was afraid that if he explained it to her, she would think that Tong Yan was still okay with her. Isn't unrequited love just a repetitive torment of feeling hopeless and then rekindled? This cycle was torture for Liu Yating.
He said: "No, no, no, a scumbag like Brother Yan is not suitable for fairies like us, bring down the fairy spirit."
Liu Yating didn't bother to argue, but just became anxious: "Why don't you clarify it?"
“I’ll post it in a minute.”
"It was deleted after the clarification, which affected his reputation."
"Okay, okay, I'll go back first, okay, Your Majesty?" Wei Lan gave Liu Yating a sly smile and raised her eyebrows.
"Get lost."
Wei Lan left with a smile, stood aside, took out her phone and went to the forum, found Zhen Longtao's post and replied to clarify: he was the one who pursued her, and it had nothing to do with Tong Yan.
It is safest to clarify this matter in this way. After all, Wei Lan really does tease Xu Xinduo every day.
And Wei Lan also once said that he would pursue her seriously this time.
This is indeed the most reasonable approach.
As expected, after Wei Lan’s clarification, there were more replies, and they all said: It is indeed true.
Tong Yan pursuing Xu Xinduo, what a ridiculous thing! !
The cookies made by Xu Xinduo are quite good-looking.
She was very careful when doing the decoration, and when the finished product came out, she packed it in a small paper box provided by the school and walked back with the cookies.
When I passed by the Rocket Class, they were still having self-study classes and there was no teacher supervising them.
She paused for a moment at the back door of the Rocket Class, and soon attracted a group of people to turn around and look at her. After Lou Xu and Xu Xinduo looked at each other, he quickly ran out and asked Xu Xinduo: "Are you looking for me?"
"Can I come out during class?"
"The get out of class will end in three minutes, it's okay."
"I just made these cookies in cooking class. I think they're pretty delicious. You can try them."
Xu Xinduo handed Lou Xu a small paper box. There were not many biscuits in it, only five or six pieces. They produced some of them, but they were divided up by Wei Lan and the others, leaving only these.
Lou Xu liked it very much when he took it, mainly because he thought the cookie was pretty good-looking. He held it in one hand and took a photo of the cookie with his phone: "Duoduo gave it to me, I have to take a photo as a souvenir."
Just at this moment, the bell for the end of get out of class rang, and other students began to pack up their things. Mu Qingyi also noticed Xu Xinduo, walked out of the classroom, walked up to the two people and asked, "What are you doing?"
Xu Xinduo handed another box of cookies to Mu Qingyi and said, "I made these cookies myself, try them."
Mu Qing also replied coldly: "I don't like these."
After saying that, he reluctantly reached out and took it.
At this time, many people were looking at them eagerly. Even students from other classes heard about it and rushed out of the classroom, looking over here.
Mu Qingyi was an exchange student before and had just returned to China not long ago. This was the first time that Mu Qingyi stood with Xu Xinduo. The feeling of these two people standing together was: alike!
So similar!
This is what siblings should be like.
Although twins are usually fraternal twins, it is very rare for them to be as different as Mu Qingyi and Mu Qingyao. They are not similar at all.
Mu Qingyao's appearance is just above average. She can't be said to be stunning, nor is she too beautiful. She just looks comfortable.
But little girls all know how to dress up, highlighting their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses. After Mu Qingyao dressed up a little, her overall score could reach six points.
Of course, Xu Xinduo can reach nine points.
At first, everyone thought that Mu Qingyi would follow, but Mu Qingyao would not.
Until Xu Xinduo appeared...
This is what twins, a boy and a girl, should look like, right?
At this time, a girl came over and greeted Xu Xinduo: "Hello, my name is Li Xinning, you can also call me Ningning!"
Xu Xinduo looked at Li Xinning with a little surprise, but still nodded: "Well, hello."
Li Xinning said again: "I like you very much, I think you are very beautiful. I heard from Xuxu that you like skateboarding and you are very good at it. Can we learn it together next time? I want to learn it, but I am too stupid to ask boys. It's rare to meet a girl who is good at skateboarding."
"Oh..." Xu Xinduo did not agree immediately, but looked at Lou Xu.
Lou Xu looked at Li Xinning and smiled, then pushed Li Xinning back to the classroom: "Okay, it's time for us to finish school too."
When he left, he kept blinking at Xu Xinduo, as if hinting that he would explain to her later.
Lou Xu and Li Xinning both walked away. Mu Qingyi watched them leave, holding a biscuit in his hand and said, "I'm going to go back and pack my bag. You should go home as well."
"Yeah, okay."
Mu Qingyi took the cookies back to the classroom and placed them casually on his desk.
Shao Qinghe looked at the cookies and asked, "Did sister Duoduo give them to you?"
When was the name changed?
"Yeah." Mu Qingyi continued to pack his schoolbag.
Shao Qinghe reached out and took a piece and put it in his mouth. While chewing, he said, "Hmm, it's quite delicious."
Mu Qingyi paused, looking at the biscuits that originally had five pieces, only four pieces were left. He immediately reached out and grabbed Shao Qinghe's neck: "Spit it out!"
Shao Qinghe's movements froze for a moment. He looked at Mu Qingyi innocently with wide eyes and asked, "Are you sure?"
After thinking about it, Mu Qingyi gave up and just took out a box from the desk, poured out the bookmarks inside, wiped the box clean with a wet wipe before putting the biscuits in it, closed the lid and put it in his schoolbag.
Shao Qinghe looked at Mu Qingyi's actions expressionlessly, then swallowed the biscuit, picked up his schoolbag and said, "I'll ask her directly! Look at how stingy you are."
Mu Qingyi quickly grabbed him and said, "Don't go."
"how?"
"She has been the target of public criticism lately."
"well."
It is true that Tong Yan is popular, and Shao Qinghe is also popular, especially because Shao Qinghe is more gentle. His suitors are all devoted to him, and if they are rejected, they will be comforted clearly, and their suitors will turn into silent lovers.
If Shao Qinghe also interacted with Xu Xinduo at this time, it would definitely attract more attention to Xu Xinduo.
Shao Qinghe agreed, but leaned over and asked, "Then give me another piece?"
"Get lost."
The other side.
A girl walked up to Li Xinning and taunted her, "Li Xinning, why did you go to court that adopted daughter? After your relationship with Yaoyao became bad, you tried to find another way to go to Mu Qingyi's birthday party?"
Li Xinning didn't care about the ridicule and just smiled and said, "I just think she's very pretty and looks a lot like Mu Qingyi, so I wanted to get closer to take a look."
After saying that, Li Xinning turned around and asked Mu Qingyao: "Hey, Mu Qingyao, why did my sister only give cookies to Xuxu and Mu Qingyi and not to you? Has she not forgiven you yet?"
Li Xinning is the current beauty in the Rocket Class.
Previously, someone chose Li Xinning to be the school belle, but because the previous school beauties were too outstanding and Li Xinning could not compare to them, no one supported this matter.
Li Xinning used to be friends with Mu Qingyao, but later broke up with Mu Qingyao, and their relationship is still very bad now. It can also be said that if one is a little more radical, a quarrel may easily break out on the spot.
Mu Qingyao now tries her best to be an invisible person. She hides from everyone she sees and doesn't want to be noticed.
She just thought that she would just wait until the storm died down and everyone forgot about the matter, but Li Xinning took the initiative to bring it up again.
Mu Qingyao looked at Li Xinning's green tea bitch and hated her so much that she answered casually, "Maybe... she doesn't like me very much."
Mu Qingyao’s way is to pretend to be weak.
The explanation given to the outside world was that she had persuaded the person last time and she did not make the bet. At this moment, it seemed as if Xu Xinduo ignored her alone, and it was also because Xu Xinduo was a stingy person, not generous, could not take a joke, and could not forgive Mu Qingyao.
Li Xinning sneered, packed up her things, and walked towards Lou Xu: "Xu Xu, please help me make an appointment with Duo Duo next time. I really want to meet her."
Lou Xu was not stupid. He knew that Li Xinning was deliberately trying to piss off Mu Qingyao, so he did not agree. He just smiled dryly, ate a piece of biscuit, and quickly returned to his seat to pack up.
As soon as he got back, Shao Qinghe snatched a cookie from him: "It's really delicious."
"Are you a bandit?!"
"With her skills, she can open a dessert shop."
Not long after Xu Xinduo returned home, Mu Qingyi and Shao Qinghe came back together.
As soon as Shao Qinghe entered the room, he smiled and said to Xu Xinduo, "Sister Duoduo, I want to eat cookies too."
Xu Xinduo looked at Shao Qinghe in surprise, ignoring the biscuits and just asking, "What did you call me?"
"Sister Duoduo."
Xu Xinduo was really not used to being called this, and frowned and said, "I don't like this name."
"Your brothers are all my brothers, so are you my sister?"
"You can call me classmate Xu."
"Okay, Xu, I want to eat cookies too, the kind you made yourself."
Xu Xinduo stood in the living room and looked at the newly arrived express boxes. These were all the daily necessities she had just bought. She replied, "I only did a little bit today. I'll do more next time when I have class."
"Your brother is too stingy. He didn't even give me any." Shao Qinghe actually sounded like a spoiled child when he spoke, and at the same time he muttered, "None of the cookies I bought before tasted as good as yours. Maybe your method just suits my taste. I specially took your brother's car to follow him."
Xu Xinduo looked up at Shao Qinghe, stunned.
This person...seems a little abnormal.
Mu Qing also said coldly: "Ignore him."
Xu Xinduo agreed immediately: "Okay."
Shao Qinghe looked at the brother and sister and felt a little helpless, but he still asked Xu Xinduo: "Do you want me to help you deliver the express to your room?"
Mu Qingyi called a servant and asked them to deliver the express box to the door of Xu Xinduo's room.
Shao Qinghe took a deep breath before talking to Xu Xinduo again: "Xu, would you like to be my dance partner at the birthday party?"
"She doesn't need it." Mu Qingyi walked over and said.
Shao Qinghe didn't even look at Mu Qingyi and continued to ask: "Can you dance? I can teach you."
Mu Qingyi answered first again: "My family can hire a teacher for her."
Xu Xinduo looked at the two of them and raised her hand to signal: "How about you two chat?"
Shao Qinghe was still smiling gently, not caring about Mu Qingyi at all: "We don't need to pay attention to him."
Mu Qingyi spoke again coldly: "Shao Qinghe, go home."
While the two were still arguing, the doorbell rang. After the servant opened the door, Lou Xu immediately walked in and shouted, "Duoduo!"
The voice is very loud.
Xu Xinduo walked over to greet Lou Xu, took Lou Xu upstairs to her room, and moved the express delivery in, ignoring the two boys.
The two boys stood in the living room downstairs and watched them leave. They looked at each other and Mu Qingyi asked, "Going home?"
Shao Qinghe said aggrievedly: "I still want to eat for free."
"Not welcome."
“Oh…”
Mu Qingyi glared at Shao Qinghe before instructing the family to prepare an extra set of bowls and chopsticks, as Shao Qinghe wanted to eat at home.
After Lou Xu entered Xu Xinduo's room, he couldn't help but "tsk tsk" twice: "This is a guest room, right? This bed and this furniture don't look like a girl's room at all! Didn't you buy new ones when you came home?"
"It's much better than my old home, and the furniture in this room is in line with the decoration of the whole house."
"We'll change them all later. I know several stores. The Mu family isn't that stingy. You can ask them to change them for you."
Lou Xu sat down on the beauty couch in the room and explained today's events to Xu Xinduo: "Li Xinning and Mu Qingyao don't get along."
The whole incident is summarized in one sentence, which is simple and clear, showing the style of a top student.
After Xu Xinduo sat down, he raised his hand and said, "I'd like to hear more."
Lou Xu gossiped about these things with Xu Xinduo with a smile: "In fact, it was the ultimate struggle between two green teas. When they were in the first year of high school, the two of them were as close as one person. Gradually, they found that the other was quite a bitch, and then things broke out. The reason for the outbreak seemed to be that Li Xinning and Shen Zhuhang were a little close, and Li Xinning went to the movies with Shen Zhuhang without bringing Mu Qingyao."
"Isn't this cheating?"
"Li Xinning said she did it on purpose, mainly because last time Mu Qingyao seemed to be joking and told Li Xinning's ambiguous partner about her embarrassing story with a smile. Li Xinning retaliated by asking Chen Zhuhang out, and that scumbag really agreed."
"Can you forgive Chen Zhuhang for this?" Xu Xinduo was extremely surprised.
"Chen Zhuhang explained that Li Xinning had broken up with her boyfriend, so she complained to him and asked him to chat with her. The two of them didn't know where to go, so they went to the movies together. The reason they went out was because Mu Qingyao and Li Xinning had a good relationship, so he was taking care of his girlfriend's friend!" After saying that, he laughed out loud. Everyone knew these things.
"..." Xu Xinduo didn't know what to say.
Lou Xu continued gossiping: "Li Xinning pursued Tong Yan, and a few days ago she and Lu Renjia got together to say bad things about you. Today Wei Lan posted a message to clarify, and she started to say that she likes you. You should just listen to what people like this say, just treat it as entertainment, don't take it to heart, and don't make friends, otherwise your life will be colorful, with constant little surprises, and the kind that are annoying."
"Okay, I get it." Xu Xinduo said, pointing at Shao Qinghe downstairs and asked, "What's Shao Qinghe's way? Why did he suddenly come to me for cookies? I haven't talked to him much."
Xu Xinduo and Shao Qinghe are really not familiar with each other.
She is not the kind of person who is very outgoing. She needs time to get used to each other, or she will approach someone if she really thinks he or she is a good person.
Xu Xinduo always felt that Shao Qinghe should be a cunning man, and she had never met him much. She felt it was strange that he suddenly approached her.
Even a little repulsive.
"Shao Qinghe is a nice guy, especially caring and gentle. I have a good impression of him. And if his character is not good, your brother would not be his friend. Your brother is very smart, the top student in our rocket class."
"I just feel it's weird, I'm not familiar with it..."
"You'll get to know each other slowly. He and your brother have such a good relationship, you will definitely get to know him very well in the future. He's also trying to show his affection to you. Besides, don't you think Shao Qinghe is very handsome? He's just like a spring breeze."
“…”
"During the sports meet in the first year of high school, Shao Qinghe was the one holding the class sign in our class. He was persuaded by a group of girls to wear Hanfu. He looked so handsome in the ancient costume, just like a handsome young man from ancient times. The whole school was excited!" Lou Xu said, while searching for the photos in his mobile phone to show Xu Xinduo.
"Didn't Mu Qingyi do this?"
"He was a host, the kind who announced grades. He was the freshman representative in his freshman year of high school and gave a speech in front of the whole school at the opening ceremony. Otherwise, how could he have been elected the school's most handsome boy? Speaking of this, there are many more stories."
Lou Xu took off his slippers, hugged his knees and continued to gossip with Xu Xinduo: "When the first year of high school started, Mu Qingyi was the only one who stood out and became the school hunk. Everyone thought that Mu Qingyi was already a rare beautiful boy in the world. But unexpectedly, two more came after a while. One was Tong Yan, who went to a concert during the school term, and another one was Duxiu, who failed to come to school in time. The other one is Shao Qinghe."
"Why is Shao Qinghe?"
“He was in poor health and had been hospitalized for a long time. He only came here more than a month after school started.
"What's wrong?"
"All kinds of illnesses. I often see him taking medicine in the classroom. There are many kinds of medicine, but I don't know what illnesses they are."
Xu Xinduo didn't ask any more questions and was ready to chat with Lou Xu for a while, but Lou Xu drove her to the desk and advised her earnestly: "Duoduo, study hard. At least let's fight for our honor next time we take the exam, okay? Don't give us a low score. I feel bad when I hear what others say about you."
"Actually, I'm a pretty good student." Xu Xinduo tried to explain to Lou Xu.
"How could I not know whether it was good or not? I was in the same cram school class as you, and I was secretly watching you the whole time, I could tell!"
“…”
Afterwards, Xu Xinduo studied seriously under Lou Xu's supervision. She was not allowed to even look at her phone and did not even have dinner with Mu Qingyi and the others.
Lou Xu was also very concerned about Xu Xinduo's studies.
October 29th is Xu Xinduo and his family’s birthday.
On the evening of October 28, when Xu Xinduo was doing homework in her room, she received a call from Tong Yan. After answering the call, she heard Tong Yan say, "I'm on my way near your house."
Xu Xinduo was startled and walked to the balcony to look outside, but she didn't see Tong Yanren, so she replied: "I didn't see you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw car lights light up behind the bushes, flash twice and then go out.
Xu Xinduo was shocked and asked in surprise: "How did you get in?"
It’s quite difficult to get into their community, and Tong Yan doesn’t live here, so how did he get in?
"Oh, so that it will be convenient for me to come in later, I bought a house in this community."
"Yeah, that's your style."
"Come down quickly and I'll take you somewhere."
"Where are you going?"
"Come on down, I'm not a patient person."
After Xu Xinduo hung up the phone, she quickly put on a piece of clothing and then jumped out from the balcony.
The villa was a single-family house with an irregular design. Her room was on the third floor. After she jumped down, she was on the roof of the second floor. Then she jumped from the second floor to the first floor. When Tong Yan looked over, he was shocked. He wanted to come over to pick her up, but she had already landed.
Xu Xinduo, wearing a thin coat, quickly ran towards Tong Yan and heard Tong Yan ask, "Are you a tiger? Just jump off the building."
"I can't go out through the front door, otherwise Mu Qingyao will use this as an excuse to make a fuss."
Tong Yan put on Xu Xinduo's motorcycle helmet and patted the back seat of his car: "Come on."
"Changed the car?"
"I have plenty of cars, you know that."
"Don't you like the big devil the best?"
"You're so long-winded, hold me tight."
"Um."
Xu Xinduo sat behind Tong Yan, looked at Tong Yan's back and hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and put his arms around Tong Yan's waist.
She was very familiar with Tong Yan's body. She had used that body to bathe, eat, and sleep. She had even witnessed the "spectacular" scene when Tong Yan's body woke up.
But it was the first time that I hugged him with my body.
Tong Yan was a very picky person, and the only person he could pamper was Xu Xinduo. He was not afraid of anything except his aunt.
Although the relationship between the two is strange, they are childhood friends and brothers who grew up together, so naturally their relationship is the closest.
It was his first time riding a bicycle without a mask on, so he deliberately slowed down a bit and the bike drove steadily out of the community.
The other side.
Shao Qinghe stood in the small garden of the Mu family, holding a small night light in his hand, watching Xu Xinduo get on Tong Yan's motorcycle, and turned back to ask Mu Qingyi: "Are we still going to prepare for this little birthday party? The protagonist has been snatched away by someone."
Mu Qingyi looked out the glass window, then looked at the things in his hand, and then put it down.
It seemed that someone celebrated her birthday, but she was a little surprised that the person was Tong Yan.
Shao Qinghe originally came to help, thinking that after twelve o'clock, he would celebrate Xu Xinduo's birthday alone, which would be considered as private compensation to Xu Xinduo.
As a result, before the venue was ready, Xu Xinduo appeared in the yard.
Mu Qingyi and Shao Qinghe turned off the lights almost at the same time, stood by the glass and watched Xu Xinduo run towards Tong Yan, and then left together.
It seems...the two of them have a very close relationship.
“Could it be true that Tong Yan is pursuing Sister Duoduo?” Shao Qinghe threw the things in his hands aside, put his hands in his pockets, and prepared to walk out.
"They are not suitable for each other."
"They are quite suitable. One is over 1.7 meters tall, and the other is over 1.8 meters, almost 1.9 meters tall. They look quite good together."
Mu Qingyi pursed her lips and said nothing more, then walked out.
Shao Qinghe did not stay long and went home after leaving the greenhouse. He knew that Mu Qing would not keep him this time.
Tong family.
The housekeeper of the Tong family walked into the study, bowed to the lady sitting inside, and then said: "The young master went to the Mu family and took away the adopted daughter of the Mu family."
Yin Huan was still reading the script. She didn't even raise her head after hearing the report and asked, "Does he want to celebrate his birthday alone with that girl?"
A few days ago, Tong Yan arranged for his family to set up a small birthday celebration venue, but did not notify anyone to go there. It was very mysterious.
Yin Huan found out about this and sent a housekeeper to help keep an eye on him. Today, Tong Yan finally made some movement.
"No, there is another old man."
Yin Huan finally looked up at the housekeeper and asked in confusion, "Old man?"
"She is the grandmother who raised my adopted daughter to adulthood."
Yin Huan could understand why Tong Yan found a pretty girl to celebrate alone. After all, he would be seventeen years old after today, and he was at the age of youth and ignorance.
But what about bringing an old lady along?
After thinking for a moment, she asked, "When is that girl's birthday?"
"October 30th."
"How did they know each other?"
"The girl is a transfer student and is currently the young master's desk mate."
"How long have you known each other?"
“We only met after we came back from the game.”
Yin Huan put down the script, walked over and took the tablet from the housekeeper, and looked through Xu Xinduo's photos. They were all taken secretly, and the portraits were not clear.
After she enlarged the photo, she saw Xu Xinduo had a subconscious little behavior, biting her nails...
Yin Huan placed the tablet on her desk and asked, "The engraved gift Yan Yan bought abroad is named: DUO?"
"Yes, the girl's name is Xu Xinduo."
"But they probably didn't know each other at that time, right?"
The butler was unable to answer.
Yin Huan continued, "Continue to observe the two of them. I want a video of them, preferably with all their words, actions and habits."
"Okay." The butler immediately left the study.
Yin Huan sat back in her chair, took out her tablet to look at Xu Xinduo's photo, zoomed in and looked at the face quietly, unable to help but touching her chin.
This face will be popular in the entertainment industry...
