◎It's getting more and more outrageous!◎
Zhao Jiayuan was inexplicably dragged by Xu Xingluo behind a tree at the school gate.
Seeing Xu Xingluo's sneaky and shameful look, Zhao Jiayuan looked in the direction Xu Xingluo was looking, confused.
I saw a tall man and a tall woman standing not far away. The boy reached out and pulled down the cotton hat worn by the girl.
Both of them have outstanding figures and looks, just like a scene from an idol drama.
But for Zhao Jiayuan, what shocked him even more was the appearance of the boy among the two.
That person, could it be...
Xu Xingluo hid behind a tree and observed for a long time.
Although he knew in his heart that it was better not to look at something inappropriate, but thinking that his parents might be kissing, it was impossible for him not to look!
However, the subsequent plot disappointed him a little.
First, Xu Xingluo realized that he had seen it wrong. His parents were just very close to each other, their mouths were not touching, and they were still very far apart.
Then their actions were far less intimate than he had expected. Dad only helped Mom adjust her hat and scarf. Not to mention kissing, he didn't even touch her face.
Then my mother actually took half a step back, and the two of them moved further apart.
Seeing this, Xu Xingluo sighed deeply.
Oh, what a disappointment, so disappointing!
Xu Xingluo turned his head and wanted to tell Zhao Jiayuan that everything was fine and they could continue walking.
Turning around, Xu Xingluo was stunned.
Zhao Jiayuan...what's that expression?
Why is Zhao Jiayuan staring intently in the direction where his parents are?
Could it be that... he was stunned by his mother's beauty?
Thinking of this possibility, Xu Xingluo patted Zhao Jiayuan's shoulder unhappily: "Hey, what are you looking at!"
He treated him as a brother, but he actually stared at his mother in a daze. Is this acceptable?
Xu Xingluo's blow was quite powerful, and Zhao Jiayuan almost stumbled.
Zhao Jiayuan suddenly came to his senses: "Huh? What did you say?"
Xu Xingluo: "I asked you what you were looking at."
Zhao Jiayuan adjusted his glasses sheepishly: "Sorry, I think I saw... ahem, one of my idols."
When talking about the word "idol", Zhao Jiayuan's expression seemed to add a bit of shyness.
Xu Xingluo: “?”
What the hell? It's getting outrageous!
Although his mother is indeed a super beauty suitable for all ages and there is no problem for her to enter the entertainment industry, but no matter what, Zhao Jiayuan shouldn't regard his mother as an idol!
Xu Xingluo: "Brother, I always thought you were a serious person, but you turned out to be so superficial!"
He even regarded Zhao Jiayuan as his best friend in the world and invited him to his home for dinner!
Zhao Jiayuan looked very confused, which made Xu Xingluo even angrier.
Considering their friendship, Xu Xingluo took a deep breath and spoke earnestly, "Zhao Jiayuan, we're high school students. Our most important task is to study hard. We can't just treat girls as idols because they're pretty! Got it?"
Zhao Jiayuan was stunned for two seconds, then quickly waved his hands: "No, no, no, you misunderstood!"
Xu Xingluo said fiercely, "What misunderstanding? Didn't you say she was your idol?"
Zhao Jiayuan: "No, the idol I'm talking about is not that girl."
Xu Xingluo: “…Ah?”
Zhao Jiayuan: "Didn't I tell you before that I'm very interested in programming? I saw an older student who won a gold medal in a programming competition. The code he wrote was so clever and beautiful. I've always regarded him as my role model and goal!"
Xu Xingluo: “…”
Zhao Jiayuan touched his nose and said, "I don't know if you mind, but I want to... go talk to that senior."
Xu Xingluo: "Ah...hahahaha, no problem, of course!"
He patted Zhao Jiayuan's shoulder, and compared to before, this time he was very friendly: "You don't know yet, but your idol is actually my sister's boyfriend... ahem, good friend!"
Zhao Jiayuan was surprised: "Really?"
Xu Xingluo: "Yeah! When have I ever lied to you? Come on, I'll take you to say hello to your idol!"
…
Xu Yingxi saw Xu Xingluo walking towards her with another young man.
The two boys are of similar height, both over 1.8 meters, and both have good looks.
Xu Yingxi remembered that Xu Xingluo had said in the group two days ago that he wanted to bring a friend home for dinner today, and it must be this boy.
"Sister!" Xu Xingluo came over and introduced her cheerfully to Xu Yingxi, "This is my friend, Zhao Jiayuan! Zhao Jiayuan, this is my sister!"
Xu Yingxi smiled: "Hello."
Zhao Jiayuan looked shy and a little nervous: "Senior Xu, nice to meet you."
Xu Yingxi: "Thank you for taking care of my brother this semester."
Zhao Jiayuan repeatedly said, "No, no, it's just roommates helping each other. Xu Xingluo also often takes care of me."
Xu Xingluo introduced his father to Zhao Jiayuan: "This is my sister's good friend, Senior Song!"
Zhao Jiayuan looked even more nervous now: "Hello, Senior Song."
Xu Xingluo interjected, "Zhao Jiayuan said he'd seen the code you wrote and that you were his idol!"
Hearing Xu Xingluo say it so casually, Zhao Jiayuan's ears turned red instantly.
Song Siyao's eyebrows twitched slightly: "Which code are you looking at?"
Zhao Jiayuan immediately said, "I've read all the code you wrote from the preliminary round to the finals of the Youth Programming Contest!"
Then, realizing he was too excited, Zhao Jiayuan touched his nose awkwardly: "Well, it's been many years, you may not remember it."
The competition Zhao Jiayuan mentioned is an international programming competition for high school students, held annually. The one Song Siyao participated in was eight years ago.
Song Siyao: "I think I still have some impression. I remember the final question was a variation of the shortest path problem?"
Zhao Jiayuan exclaimed in surprise, "Yes, that's right! My favorite part is the code you wrote in the finals. It actually reduced the time complexity to logarithmic levels. It's really ingenious!"
Song Siyao: "Get in the car first. I can tell you my ideas later when I have a chance."
Zhao Jiayuan: "Okay!"
S University Affiliated High School requires boarding students to pack their luggage and leave the school within three days after the final exams, so Xu Xingluo plans to relax on the day after the exams and then return to the dormitory to pack in two days.
Hearing that Zhao Jiayuan's mother was not in Beicheng for the time being and could not take him home, Xu Xingluo took the initiative to invite him to his house for dinner tonight.
Otherwise, I would have to stay alone in the dormitory on the day off, which would be too lonely!
Song Siyao drove here today. After several people got in the car, they soon arrived at Song Siyao's residential area.
The group went upstairs.
As usual, Song Siyao was in charge of today's dinner.
Before going to the kitchen, Song Siyao said to Zhao Jiayuan, "There are some programming-related reference books in the cabinet in the study. You can go and see if there is anything you are interested in."
Zhao Jiayuan was flattered: "Is it too much trouble for you..."
Song Siyao: "It's okay, when you finish reading, just return the book to Xu Xingluo."
Zhao Jiayuan: "Okay, okay!"
The temptation to see with his own eyes what reference books programming masters usually use was really great, so Zhao Jiayuan quickly went to the study.
In the living room, Xu Yingxi put down her phone, looked at Xu Xingluo, who had a somewhat subtle expression, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Xu Xingluo: "Nothing..."
After trying to hold it back, the young man couldn't help but say, "I just didn't expect Zhao Jiayuan to admire my dad so much, and...and my dad seems to have a good impression of him too."
Before today, Xu Xingluo had been worried that Zhao Jiayuan would feel uncomfortable coming to his house.
After all, Zhao Jiayuan's personality is quite reserved, and it took the two of them a while to get familiar with each other.
This time he invited Zhao Jiayuan to come over, but the other party declined several times before agreeing.
But now...
Seeing that Song Siyao was so kind to Zhao Jiayuan and allowed him to go to the study, Xu Xingluo felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart.
Thinking back to when he first went to S University to look for his father, his father's attitude towards him was so cold...
Xu Yingxi looked at Xu Xingluo with amusement: "Are you jealous?"
Xu Xingluo's cheeks flushed, and he said stubbornly, "No! How could I be jealous? I was just saying it casually!"
Xu Yingxi raised her eyebrows and said deliberately, "Hmm... Come to think of it, it's really strange. Your dad is usually cold to other people, but this time he's so kind to classmate Zhao."
Xu Xingluo: “…”
Every word his mother said touched his heart, making him feel even more lost.
Could it be that his father thinks Zhao Jiayuan is better than him and that they have more in common?
Otherwise, why would his father be so nice to a high school student he met by chance, saying that he would explain programming ideas to him and asked him to go to the study to get a book to read?
Xu Yingxi curled her lips and patted the boy's forehead. "Are you stupid?"
Xu Xingluo covered his forehead and looked at his mother in confusion.
Xu Yingxi: "Why do you think your dad is so nice to your classmates?"
Xu Xingluo blinked. "Because... Zhao Jiayuan is good at programming, has good grades, and has similar interests to my dad?"
Xu Yingxi: "Do you think your dad studied computer science at the best school in the country? Doesn't he usually see many people who are both academically excellent and good at programming?"
Xu Xingluo: "Yes..."
Xu Yingxi: "So, think about it again. What's the difference between Zhao Jiayuan and those people?"
Xu Xingluo thought hard for a while: "Uh...he is my roommate?"
Xu Yingxi couldn't help laughing: "Yeah, it's a pity that you still need to think about it for so long."
Xu Xingluo suddenly realized, "Mom, are you saying...my dad is nice to Zhao Jiayuan because of me?"
Xu Yingxi: "What else?"
Xu Xingluo was silent for two seconds.
Then, the corners of the boy's mouth visibly turned up.
Xu Xingluo: "Hahaha, so my dad loves me because he loves my wife and everything in her! Hehe, why didn't I think of that?"
Xu Yingxi: "Why would I call you stupid? If it wasn't for your interpersonal relationships at school, with your dad's aloof personality, why would he go out of his way to talk to your roommate?"
Xu Xingluo was called "stupid", but he didn't look annoyed at all. Instead, the curve of his mouth became wider and wider.
Yes, it’s such a simple thing, why didn’t he think it through!
It's the same as his father likes his mother, so he likes him. It's the same principle!
Zhao Jiayuan just benefited from his help!
Thinking of this, Xu Xingluo's mood suddenly brightened up: "I'll go to the study to see if Zhao Jiayuan has found the book he wants to read!"
…
Several people had dinner together.
Zhao Jiayuan didn't talk much and ate quietly most of the time, which was in stark contrast to Xu Xingluo who was always talking excitedly about things at school.
After dinner, Xu Xingluo enthusiastically showed off his new game console to Zhao Jiayuan.
It is really hard for boys of this age to resist showing off their good things to their peers.
Although Zhao Jiayuan has a calm personality, he is only sixteen years old after all.
Seeing the new game console, he couldn't help but exclaim: "I saw this machine online. Is it not available in China yet?"
Xu Xingluo: "Yes, that's right! You can't buy it in China now! It's me... it's Senior Song who heard that I like playing with it, so he asked a friend to buy it from abroad and send it back!"
Zhao Jiayuan: "Senior Song is such a nice person."
Xu Xingluo: "Of course not! Because—well, because he and my sister have a good relationship!"
Xu Yingxi's voice came from not far away: "Would you two like to come and eat some fruit?"
Xu Xingluo: “Here I come!”
"Let's go!" Xu Xingluo called Zhao Jiayuan, "Let's go eat some fruit."
At the dining table, Xu Yingxi was putting a strawberry into her mouth.
There was a sound of cutting coming from the kitchen, probably Song Siyao cutting other fruits.
Xu Yingxi: "What are you two doing in the living room?"
Xu Xingluo: "I'm showing Zhao Jiayuan my new game console!"
Xu Yingxi teased, "It seems I have to find a way to give you a better gift, otherwise my status in your heart will decline."
Xu Xingluo: "That won't happen! Even if you don't give me any gifts, you are definitely number one in my heart!"
Zhao Jiayuan echoed: "Well, Xu Xingluo often mentioned to me how good my sister was to him."
Xu Xingluo looked at Zhao Jiayuan approvingly.
He is indeed his good brother, knowing how to speak up for him!
Xu Yingxi took a bite of the tip of the strawberry: "Really? What did Xu Xingluo always say about how good I was to him?"
Zhao Jiayuan: "He showed me every piece of clothing you bought for him before."
The smile on Xu Xingluo's face froze slightly.
Xu Yingxi raised her eyebrows: "Really?"
Zhao Jiayuan: "Well, he also said that you like the pink one the best, so he usually wears that pink sweatshirt under his school uniform the most."
Xu Xingluo coughed.
There's no need to go into so much detail, it makes him feel embarrassed!
Xu Xingluo: "Well, actually—"
Xu Yingxi glanced at Xu Xingluo, who was trying to interrupt, and asked Zhao Jiayuan with a smile, "Anything else?"
Zhao Jiayuan: "Senior sister, Xu Xingluo showed everyone in our class the basketball pendant you knitted for him. Now everyone knows that your craftsmanship is exceptional."
Xu Yingxi burst out laughing: "Xu Xingluo, you have helped me establish a clever and skillful personality in your class!"
Xu Xingluo's cheeks were burning hot. "I was just showing it off, and who knew they'd all come over to watch! Yeah, they had too much free time, so they had to come and see it! Right, Zhao Jiayuan?"
Zhao Jiayuan: “…”
The scene that came to my mind a while ago came to my mind, where Xu Xingluo walked around the class with the pendant and asked everyone he met if they liked it or not.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Jiayuan nodded against his conscience: "Yeah."
