Chapter 44 I'm Not Used to You Being Like This
While everyone was chatting during the meal, Xu Wu suddenly asked, "Xia Xia, what do you usually do during your rest time?"
Lin Zixia paused his chopsticks, reached out to take a piece of paper and wiped his mouth, then looked at her, "I just watch dramas, I don't have any special hobbies."
When Xu Wu mentioned watching TV series, her eyes lit up. "So what do you usually watch?"
Lin Zixia thought for a moment and said, "Just some classic old dramas, like 'Friends' and 'Downton Abbey'."
Xu Wu made a final struggle: "...Is there any other type?"
Lin Zixia looked at her with clear eyes and thought for a second, "I really like the cartoon "Rick and Morty" recently."
Xu Wu looked frustrated. "Xia Xia, you could have gotten full marks in English. Is this entertainment or learning?"
Lin Zixia seemed to think about it seriously for a moment, "It's entertainment, but I can also learn by the way."
Watching these classic British and American TV series is her way of relaxing, and she can also accumulate vocabulary and practice speaking at the same time.
Xu Wu slumped down on the table. "I finally understand where the gap lies."
He Yan's lips curled up slightly, "Then go back and replace the variety shows and idol dramas on your tablet with these."
Xu Wu: "...He Yan..."
He Yan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Hmm?"
Xu Wu: "From today on, I have decided to work hard and become stronger. You must supervise me!"
He Yan took out his phone, opened the recording, and placed it on the table. "Say it again."
Xu Wu: “???”
He Yan: "To prevent you from cheating."
Xu Wu: ...
Wu You in the middle was eating his meal seriously: "This maocai tastes great! I'll order it again next time."
When Lu Xiangye heard Lin Zixia mention the cartoon "Rick and Morty", a hint of surprise flashed in his dark eyes, but in just a few seconds, he understood.
He tilted his head to look at Lin Zixia's fair profile, his eyes slightly narrowed, and said nonchalantly, "I thought good girls only watched cartoons like Teletubbies and The Three Little Bears!"
Lin Zixia glanced at him sideways and said, "I'm not a three-year-old child."
Lu Xiangye tapped his fingertips on the table, "Do you like it?"
This film is absurd, bloody, imaginative, full of black humor and irony, as well as profound philosophical discussions.
Really good kids wouldn’t like that.
Lin Zixia's eyelashes trembled. The style of this film was somewhat unique, but she had never been successful in pretending to be good in front of Lu Xiangye. She did not deny it, "I quite like it."
Lu Xiangye chuckled, "I thought you were going to make some excuses."
Lin Zixia: "Is there anything you can't admit?"
Lu Xiangye raised his eyelids and suddenly called her, "Lin Xiaoxia."
"Hmm?" Lin Zixia responded subconsciously.
Lu Xiangye smiled lazily and said, "I'm not used to you being like this."
Lin Zixia: “???”
…
After lunch, I felt sleepy.
Wu You had fallen asleep on the sofa, Xu Wu was also drowsy on the table, and He Yan was sitting and reading a book.
Lu Xiangye looked at Lin Zixia and said, "There's another guest room. You can go there if you want to take a nap."
Lin Zixia shook his head, "I'm not sleepy."
She has very high requirements for the sleeping environment. She cannot sleep in an unfamiliar environment. She can only sleep peacefully when she feels absolutely safe.
She looked at Lu Xiangye and said softly, "I haven't finished the book I read last time here with you. Can I continue?"
A hint of malice flashed in Lu Xiangye's eyes, "What if I say no?"
Lin Zixia blinked, "Then don't look at it, what else can I do?"
"Wait." Lu Xiangye snorted and turned to go to the room.
Lin Zixia was sitting by the window. Her fingertips paused as she opened the book. She had put a bookmark where she had last read.
She remembered that after she finished reading it, she casually turned it upside down on the table.
She was startled, then subconsciously glanced at Lu Xiangye. He too was holding a book, half-lying in a rocking chair, his profile clean and sharp, his features stunning, and when he was expressionless he looked cool and cold.
But when you really get to know him, he's actually... very nice.
Lin Zixia smiled, retracted his gaze, and focused it on the book in his hand.
For a moment, the only sounds in the living room were shallow breathing and the rustling of pages turning.
Xu Wu had fallen asleep on the table. He Yan put a coat on her. Wu You muttered something, turned over and continued to sleep.
Lin Zixia leaned against the wall and looked out the window. The sky was clear blue and the clouds were stacked like cotton candy, looking soft.
When she had almost finished reading the book in her hand, the two people who were sleeping slowly woke up.
Because Xu Wu slept on her stomach, there were some red marks on her delicate and bright cheeks. She was still a little confused when she woke up.
Wu You stretched out his body and yawned with his hands covering his mouth.
"Aren't you all asleep?"
Lin Zixia looked at him and said, "I slept well last night, so I'm not sleepy."
In the afternoon, Xu Wu finished her English test and came to ask Lin Zixia a question. Lin Zixia glanced at He Yan who was standing beside her and said, "Isn't He Yan right next to you? Why don't you ask him?"
A hint of awkwardness flashed in Xu Wu's eyes. "If I can't even do something simple, he'll definitely laugh at me."
Lin Zixia: She has never seen He Yan make fun of her.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll laugh at you?"
Xu Wu looked at her, "Can you?"
Lin Zixia smiled and said, "Of course not."
Xu Wu hugged her arms and said, "I knew you were the best."
After explaining the question, Xu Wu asked her how she learned English and whether she had any good methods.
Lin Zixia pursed her lips and continued, "For me, I divide my English learning into several parts: vocabulary, grammar, and question types."
"Vocabulary is the most basic thing. There are many basic question types. As long as you know the words, you can do them. So you must know all the words required in the textbook. You can keep a small notebook to accumulate the new words you encounter when doing exercises."
"Grammar is also divided into several major parts, such as tense, voice, and clauses..."
After Lin Zixia finished speaking, Xu Wu looked at her with shining eyes, "Xia Xia, you are so amazing!"
"Even better than He Yan."
He Yan, who was doing the questions at the side, paused holding the pen, chuckled, and continued to work on the questions with his head down.
Xu Wu: "Can I ask you questions next time?"
Lin Zixia curled her lips: "Of course."
After Lin Zixia finished reading the book, she returned it to Lu Xiangye. Lu Xiangye took it and looked at her with a half-smile, "Can you teach me sometime?"
Lin Zixia: "Do you need me to teach you?"
Lu Xiangye has almost no weaknesses. He is top-notch in science, and his Chinese and English are not bad either. It's just that he is a little lazy sometimes and doesn't want to touch anything that requires text.
For example, she was asked to help with the political history homework every day.
Lu Xiangye raised his eyes slightly and spoke in a long tone, "But I also want to get full marks like the English class representative!"
Lin Zixia: "... Stop being so sarcastic!"
Lu Xiangye: "I'm sincerely praising you, why are you being sarcastic?"
Lin Zixia suppressed his anger and looked back at him with a smile, "Okay, I'll teach you when you can't get first place in the grade."
Lu Xiangye curled his lips, "Are you cursing me?"
Lin Zixia: "Will my curse work?"
Lu Xiangye shrugged, looking arrogant, "Of course it's useless. After all, the strength is here."
Lin Zixia: ...
