When I was a student, students with outstanding looks were always treated preferentially, especially... those with particularly outstanding looks.
My heart would beat wildly when I saw his face, and I didn't even dare to look directly at him, hiding a lot of shyness.
Not long after Lin Xu transferred to another class, the class had its seats arranged again. As the college entrance examination was approaching, in order to improve the admission rate, Teacher Wang advocated that students with good academic performance should help other students to the best of their ability, so even the seats were arranged according to the law of mutual compensation of grades.
Of course, the law of voluntariness was also followed. After all, most people didn't want to waste time helping others. The college entrance examination was also a major event in their lives, not a joke.
Lin Xu transferred from the international class and did not receive exam-oriented education for the college entrance examination, so he should be the last on the ranking list.
He didn't worry about himself, but just used the break time to review according to the knowledge framework. He didn't start to beg the top students in the class to contact him.
But in just one morning, several students who were unfamiliar to Lin Xu knocked on his desk and expressed their willingness to be his deskmate.
This was the first time Lin Xu communicated with them.
Since he changed classes, Lin Xu didn't take the initiative to build good relationships with his classmates. He was a passive person.
"Thank you, I'll just follow the teacher's arrangements." After being at a loss, Lin Xu smiled and replied, and then politely asked for the names of his classmates, and didn't say anything else.
He was sure that he would not disturb his future deskmate, so he didn't care about it.
Finally, Lin Xu sat at the same table with a recognized female academic master in the class, and the seat was in the middle core position. Students with good grades had the right to choose their seats. Class
9 was an ordinary class, and the overall performance was not outstanding. The female academic master was named Yue Shan, and she was a seed player that the teachers of Class 9 valued very much. She always ranked first in the class, and was always 20 or 30 points higher than the second place. In fact, she could have chosen to join the experimental class.
She had a pretty face, a high ponytail, and a cold personality. She didn't talk much and didn't seem to be close to people.
Lin Xu was very adaptable to getting along with such a classmate, and thought that this was arranged by the teacher, probably to take care of him, but he didn't expect that it was Yue Shan who took the initiative to bring it up.
There is a sense of like attracts like. Besides, they are classmates in adolescence after all. Everyone is confused when they see Lin Xu's face. In fact, some students from other classes even pretend to pass by to take a peek.
The international class is not in the same teaching building as theirs, so it is usually difficult to get in touch with them. Therefore, most of them heard about this person for the first time.
But they didn't expect Lin Xu to be even more taciturn. After sitting at the same table for one or two days, they didn't talk more than one hand.
Lin Xu is also a very well-behaved boy. His things never go beyond the scope of his desk, and he never accidentally touches Yue Shan. Only Yue Shan will occasionally peek at his profile.
The other party has fair skin, smooth face, and perfect facial features. His school uniform is always clean and smells of detergent. His eyes are focused as if he only has his own world.
Only when she occasionally picked up her phone after class did she feel that he was also an ordinary boy.
The ice was broken when Yue Shan took the initiative to lend her notes to Lin Xu. She had kept her notes from the first to the third year of high school very well, and her habit as a top student made the whole notebook clear and organized.
This really saved Lin Xu a lot of trouble, so he thanked her and accepted it. In return, he went to the canteen during the break to buy her an ice cream. Because he was quick, it was not melted at all when it arrived in the classroom.
"Thank you for your notes." Lin Xu handed the ice cream to Yue Shan with a normal expression, and then sat down to continue reviewing.
If the ice cream would not melt, she would definitely not be willing to eat it.
Perhaps this qualitative breakthrough gave her courage, so after school, when Lin Xu was packing his schoolbag, Yue Shan asked in a normal tone: "Classmate, do you want to go to the movies together? There seems to be a new science fiction movie recently."
She guessed that the other party would like it, so she said it to please him.
Lin Xu's principle is not to go out alone with girls, even if they are really just classmates and have not done anything bad, he always feels that it is not allowed.
"Sorry, I have something else to do." He looked at her and shook his head to refuse.
Yue Shan saw his clear and decisive eyes, and immediately understood that Lin Xu did not have any affection for her beyond classmates, and he had no intention of developing the relationship. Otherwise, refusing would actually make both parties a little embarrassed.
"Okay, then I'll have to go by myself." Yue Shan shrugged, returning to her arrogance, and no one knew that she had tried.
Lin Xu nodded, packed his backpack, and left the classroom as usual.
His life was monotonous enough, or in his mind, the life of a high school student should be like this, nothing more than a line between school and home.
But now he still has a secret, a relationship that a high school student should not have, but he has not been cruel enough to break up.
When passing by the basketball court, Lin Xu saw the boys playing basketball, their blood boiling, their faces flushed, and their jumping movements were also very energetic.
His thoughts diverged. From what he had already known, Zhizhi Mangmang's image was similar to those boys. She laughed loudly, hated studying, and was energetic and active. However, she was especially fair-skinned and had a sweet voice. She should be a shining star on the basketball court, unlike now when his ears were filled with their cheers and roars like monkeys coming out of the mountains.
He quickly noticed the colorful basketball shoes on their feet. He remembered that they also had basketball classes and must love playing basketball.
With a thought, Lin Xu did not follow his usual route to go home to study when he walked out of the school gate. Instead, he navigated to a nearby shopping mall.
In fact, Lin Xu himself did not like shopping in shopping malls. He did not care about his clothes, so he rarely had the desire to shop. Of course, the most important reason is that Lin Xu really can't stand the enthusiastic shopping guide and will keep asking questions. Unfortunately, his brain is dull and he can't explain it clearly. His mouth seems to be sealed.
What does the sir need?
He just takes a look.
Will you come again next time? I dare not come...
Lin Xu did some psychological preparation before walking into the mall with a dull face and went to the first floor dedicated to selling shoes. As soon as he walked into a store, a shopping guide came up to him. Lin Xu felt quite pressured, but he had to look around to see if there was anything suitable.
If he was buying for himself, he thought that as long as the shoe size was right, it would be enough. But since it was a gift for her boyfriend, even if the other party couldn't see it, Lin Xu was not willing to be perfunctory.
The only aesthetics he had were finally used.
"What kind of classmate do you want? I can help you find it." The shopping guide asked him beside him.
Lin Xu pursed his lips and said reluctantly: "Basketball shoes."
"This is full of basketball shoes, take a look and see what style you like..." Lin Xu was given a headache by the noise and had to ignore his chattering and imagine what the other person's legs would look like in the shoes in his mind.
Pure white didn't seem to be suitable, not quite in line with Zhizhi Mangmang's temperament, and it couldn't stand dirt.
He looked at some styles, but always felt that something was missing, and didn't want to compromise, so his ears blushed when the salesperson asked him which pair he liked.
He rarely went into a store without buying anything, which was extremely embarrassing.
"Sorry..." Lin Xu said hastily, and then strode away holding the shoulder strap tightly.
This happened several times again. When Lin Xu walked out of the store again and was concentrating on going to the next one, he bumped into Mao Jun and Yang Zixuan.
Their relationship seemed to have become much closer, and they greeted him when they saw him.
Mao Jun ran up and asked curiously: "Brother Lin, I haven't seen you for a long time. We were just talking about you. Do you want to buy anything?"
Yang Zixuan didn't follow to listen to their conversation, but was just browsing the boutique.
He said honestly: "Buying a gift."
"Who is it for?" Mao Jun scratched his head, not knowing if he knew him. Could it be a new friend? If he gave him a gift so soon, he would be jealous!
"It's... my boyfriend." He was still embarrassed to talk about Lin Xu. He had never described a person's identity as his boyfriend to outsiders. But since Mao Jun knew about it, he had nothing to hide.
"Oh oh..." Mao Jun teased him with a joking look.
Then he asked, "What gift?"
Lin Xu pointed casually and said, "I want to give him a pair of sneakers. He loves playing basketball."
Mao Jun really didn't see that Lin Xu would become like this after he started dating. In his impression, Lin Xu has always been popular and doesn't take relationships seriously.
"It's not cheap to buy a pair of decent sneakers. He's just an online dating partner. We're still students. Otherwise, just buy a pair online. And how do you know if he's worth it?" Mao Jun didn't understand. He felt that this was not a serious relationship. He even hesitated to buy shoes for himself.
The cheapest one in this mall costs hundreds of dollars... It feels like I'm being cheated when I spend money on a virtual person.
Lin Xu is a very principled person and will never be persuaded. If he just bought a pair of uncomfortable shoes, the gift would lose its meaning, it would be neither practical nor thoughtful.
Moreover, Lin Xu knew that Gu Jinzhi was worth it, she was not someone who would play with feelings, and he could not play with her feelings.
Although the amount of money was not worth mentioning to Gu Jinzhi, Lin Xu said that he would choose carefully, at least to meet his own standards, and would not be perfunctory.
"No." He shook his head.
"Then I'll go on to have a look, see you later." Lin Xu waved to him.
In the end, his trip was not in vain. When Lin Xu saw the pair of red and black basketball shoes with a clever design in the window, he thought it was the one.
After taking a deep breath and asking the salesperson about the material and some details of the shoes, Lin Xu was even more satisfied.
The only thing that was not suitable was the price.
This pair of shoes would cost nearly three thousand. For Lin Xu in his previous life, this was just a number, but the current Lin Xu only received one thousand for living expenses this month.
Of course, with the degree of doting on him by the Lin family, it would not be difficult for him to ask for more living expenses. But if someone wanted to cheat his family like this just for the sake of love, Lin Xu strongly disagreed.
As a gift for Gu Jinzhi, he didn't think it was too expensive and not worth it. If it was still too little now, he could think of a way himself.
"Are these shoes in stock? Can I come to buy them in a few days?" Lin Xu asked the salesperson.
Seeing that he was still in school uniform and was a student, and had no family to take care of him, the salesperson asked such a question, and in his heart he no longer thought that Lin Xu would come again.
However, he still answered very professionally: "Enough, you can come anytime."
After getting the answer, Lin Xu nodded and left.
It is very difficult for a student to make money, and Lin Xu is not an impulsive person. Under the premise that it will not affect his progress, he found a tutoring group through the introduction of his classmates.
It is most suitable to be a tutor after school.
But he is still a high school student and is not worthy of his parents' trust, but the name of the attached high school still has some authority.
After Lin Xu contacted for a long time, he took on the tutoring of several junior high school students at a relatively low price. The knowledge system of junior high school is very simple, and it is a single subject. It is effortless for Lin Xu and will not mislead the students.
In order to save two thousand in a short time, he had to go out to class immediately after school, and had to visit several families in the meantime, and finally go home at ten o'clock in the evening.
Bedtime had to be pushed back two hours.
But Lin Xu didn't think it was a problem to do this in a short period of time, although it would be a bit hard.
Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin saw that their grandson didn't come home until nearly ten o'clock again, and thought that he couldn't help going to the Internet cafe to play games again. But compared to his previous perverse behavior, the grandson is now much more obedient, so they didn't have the heart to blame him. After all, growth is not an instant thing.
They just felt a little distressed when they saw their grandson was mentally exhausted because of playing games for a long time.
Lin Xu didn't know about the misunderstanding of his grandpa and grandma, but tried his best to balance and control his work and rest schedule.
Every night at ten o'clock, when he returned to the community with a backpack, his figure under the street lights was stretched out. There were almost no people at this point, and it was very quiet. But he didn't feel tired at all, thinking that Gu Jinzhi might be happy after receiving the gift, and would feel warm from him as an online friend. The other party's seriousness would also be rewarded, instead of being traumatized by being deceived like in the original book.
The original owner was a low-level liar, which only made Gu Jinzhi more cautious, and then more likely to fall for a high-level Phoenix man. In contrast, he thought he had met true love.
He was the source.
Lin Xu was full of thoughts. Seeing the twinkling stars in the night sky, he thought the night view was beautiful, but he rarely noticed it.
I took a picture and sent it to Zhizhi and Mangmang: "Look, what beautiful stars."
