Chapter 29 I Want to Give You Now
It was almost eight o'clock when Ye Yinghui returned home after dinner. She was watching TV in the living room.
"Auntie, I'm back!"
Lin Zixia had just changed her shoes and called out sweetly before she even walked into the living room.
Ye Yinghui turned around and smiled gently, "Have you finished your meal with Xiaoye and the others?"
"Yeah!" Lin Zixia nodded and sat on the sofa to chat with Ye Yinghui.
“Are the results out yet?”
Lin Zixia handed her the report card from her schoolbag. Ye Yinghui immediately spotted Lu Xiangye in the first row and couldn't help but praise him, "Xiaoye is so amazing! He got first place."
“It’s quite impressive.”
Ye Yinghui reached out and rubbed her head. "Our Xiaoxia is also very good. Your parents would definitely be very happy if they knew your results."
Lin Zixia's mouth stiffened, "Yeah."
She knew Ye Yinghui would tell Ye Yinghua, so she didn't need to call them.
After sitting for a while, Lin Zixia sniffed and smelled the smell of hot pot. "Auntie, I'm going to take a shower first."
"Go ahead."
When Lin Zixia came out of the shower, he heard Ye Yinghui talking on the phone.
"The results of the placement test are out, and Xiaoxia did really well, ranking in the top few in the grade!"
"I said it was right for her to come to Rongcheng to study. Don't worry. Xiaoxia is so obedient, what can happen?"
"Based on her current grades, there's no problem getting into Peking University or Tsinghua University..."
Lin Zixia tiptoed behind the sofa and entered the bedroom, isolating himself from the noise.
She studies in her bedroom most of the time. Ye Yinghui is used to it and won't disturb her easily.
Lin Zixia opened the window. The night wind was still a little warm, ruffling her hair. The street lights in the community were on, casting dim shadows on both sides of the road.
She took a few deep breaths, her lips curled up. After the results came out, she finally didn't have to be so nervous and cautious.
She no longer had to worry about Ye Yinghua and Lin Anhong transferring her back to the county town, and she could also gain some trust and freedom from the adults because of her fairly good grades.
After a while, a message popped up on the phone. It was a message from Ye Yinghua.
[Xiao Xia, I heard from your aunt about your test results. You did well, but don't be too proud. Keep up the good work.]
【Buy some study materials and things you like】
Then there is a transfer.
Lin Zixia took a look and raised a sarcastic smile at the corner of his mouth.
She has good grades and has some advantages, so she is not worthless in their eyes.
Ten minutes later, she finally clicked the payment button and replied expressionlessly:
[I was just reading a book. Thank you, Mom. I will do my best.]
Lin Zixia took out his textbook, but couldn't concentrate on learning.
She opened Happy Candy Crush on her phone, lowered her head, and played one level after another, watching the ice cubes break one by one, and her fingers tapped the screen mechanically.
“Bonus time!”
Voices of congratulations kept coming from the phone, and Lin Zixia gradually calmed down.
She quit the game, put her phone screen upside down on the table, and started studying.
During this time, Ye Yinghui knocked on the door and came in to give her some fruit.
"Xiao Xia, eat some grapes. Don't study too late. Go to bed early."
Lin Zixia curled her lips and said, "I know, auntie, you should go and rest first."
"good."
At ten o'clock, Lin Zixia's phone vibrated twice. It was the WeChat notification tone.
She paused her pen, picked up her phone and took a look. It was a message from Lu Xiangye, with only two words.
[Open the door]
Concise and to the point, without a single superfluous word.
Lin Zixia held the cell phone and opened the bedroom door. Ye Yinghui was already asleep at this time. She tiptoed through the living room and gently opened the door.
Lu Xiangye leaned against the door of his house. The light from the corridor cast a subtle shadow on his profile. He was as lazy as a boneless person, with his eyes slightly drooping and a book in his hand.
Seeing Lin Zixia coming out, he glanced over lazily.
The girl was wearing a white knee-length nightgown, with her long, smooth black hair draped over her shoulders. The night wind blew in through the corridor, causing the hem of her skirt to sway slightly, outlining her thin figure.
Looks very well behaved and soft.
Lu Xiangye swallowed.
Lin Zixia lowered his voice, almost whispering, "Why are you looking for me at this hour?"
Lu Xiangye raised his eyes slightly, and said jokingly, "Are you a thief? Why are you speaking so quietly?"
Lin Zixia frowned, "My aunt is asleep, Grandma Lu should be asleep too."
Lu Xiangye waved the book in his hand towards her, "Don't you want this?"
Lin Zixia licked his dry lips and whispered, "You can give it to me tomorrow."
"I want to give it to you now."
Lin Zixia: “…”
"Okay, thank you."
Don't you just want to torment her?
OK.
She reached out to take it, but Lu Xiangye dodged it. He chuckled briefly, and Lin Zixia looked up at him in confusion.
"The one you threw away the other day was an intermediate book, not suitable for you. This one is an introductory book. Read it first, and I'll give you the other one after you finish it."
Only then did Lin Zixia see that the book he was holding was covered in white.
But, can we not mention the incident where she threw his book?
Lin Zixia nodded, "Okay."
She took the book, and after two seconds, she looked up to confirm again, "Can I ask you if there's anything I don't understand?"
Lu Xiangye drawled out his tone, "Didn't I already give the apprenticeship gift tonight?"
A bowl of dipping sauce?
Lin Zixia's eyebrows curved, and her voice was soft, "Thank you very much, Teacher Lu."
She was smiling from the bottom of her heart, her eyes were almost curved into crescents, and the dimples at the corners of her lips were slightly revealed again.
Lu Xiangye curled up his fingers that were hanging by his side and looked at the faint dimple, wanting to poke it.
His Adam's apple rolled up and down, and his voice was lazy. "Don't thank me yet. Reciprocity is the norm. I will trouble you a lot in the future!"
The smile on Lin Zixia's lips froze. Doesn't this mean that he wants to enslave her and make her run errands for him?
For the sake of grades, she endured.
A man can bend and stretch.
Who made her less skilled than others?
Lin Zixia nodded, holding the book in his arms, looking determined, "Okay, Teacher Lu has the final say."
