Chapter 5 You're Pressing My Skirt
Lin Zixia's hand stayed on the cards for two seconds. She didn't know what she was thinking about. She smiled and then turned over the last card.
Ace of Hearts!
She won the bet!
Wu You stared at the cards intently. The moment he saw the red heart, he collapsed and wailed, "Ah! I lost!"
At this moment, the groundhog screaming on the top of the mountain inexplicably flashed in Lin Zixia's mind.
Exactly the same.
Lu Xiangye glanced at her sideways and thought, "Tsk, she's a bit lucky."
Lin Zixia smiled at Wu You sheepishly, "Sorry..."
Xu Wu was also shocked by this reversal. She gathered the chips on the table and pushed them towards Lin Zixia. "It's okay, he's used to losing. Take it quickly! Xia Xia, you're amazing!"
His tone was full of envy.
"Good luck."
Lin Zixia curled her lips, her round almond eyes narrowed into crescent shapes, her eyebrows and eyes were filled with smiles, and the dimple on the left corner of her mouth was slightly revealed again.
"Ahhhh, Xia Xia, you have dimples, so cute!" Xu Wu screamed. If they hadn't just met, she would even want to reach out and poke her.
Lu Xiangye also looked over. The little girl's eyes were sparkling, as if filled with tiny starlight, and there was a smile at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, which dazzled people's eyes.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, but he didn't care much. Is it necessary to be so happy about winning a hand of cards?
Lin Zixia was really happy, but not because of winning.
This was because the little monster in her heart was driven away by her once again.
The unfamiliarity and discomfort she felt when she first arrived in Chengdu, and the nervousness and anxiety about entering No. 1 Middle School, all turned into an extremely firm belief in her heart at this moment.
Life is a gamble.
When she took the entrance exam for No. 1 Middle School and chose to come to No. 1 Middle School, she had made countless assumptions. No matter whether the result was good or bad, she would accept it completely.
She might be able to make a big splash and make a name for herself in No. 1 Middle School, a school full of talented people, but she might just be an insignificant student and could not be compared with these students from the provincial capital.
The proposition of the chicken head and the phoenix tail always troubles people's choices.
But who says these are the only two options?
Why can't she work hard to become a phoenix?
Although the metaphors of chicken head and chicken tail and phoenix head and phoenix tail do not sound very nice, who asked our ancestors to use them that way?
No matter what the outcome is, just do it first.
Lin Zixia is never someone who backs down in the face of adversity.
Just like the hand of cards just now, even if she didn't get a heart in the end and lost, she might feel sad, but she would never regret it.
As long as you don't regret it, it's not a failure.
After figuring it out, the smile on Lin Zixia's face became genuine.
Wu You refused to believe it and asked for new chips to continue playing. No one said they wanted to leave.
Halfway through, Lu Xiangye got up and went to the refrigerator to get a drink.
Wu You stared at the cards, "I want a Coke!"
Xu Wu: "I want Sprite!"
He Yan: "Orange juice."
Lin Zixia didn't say anything. When Lu Xiangye came back, he threw the soda in his hand to a few people, and finally put a can of Wangzai milk in front of her.
Looking at the big smiling face in front of him, Lin Zixia raised his eyes and asked, "?"
Lu Xiangye paused in drinking water, glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, and directly picked up Lin Zixia's can of Wangzai Milk. He held the can with three bony fingers, slightly bent his index finger, picked up the pull ring, and snapped his fingertips back. With a "click", the pull ring was pulled open.
Lu Xiangye casually pushed the milk back in front of her and said, "You're welcome."
Lin Zixia: ...
This guy is really arrogant and narcissistic.
But I have to admit that the posture of opening a can with one hand is indeed quite handsome.
After all, she had tried before, but...
Can't open.
Lu Xiangye handed her the milk and turned his gaze back to the table, as if it was just a casual thing.
Lin Zixia pursed her lips and picked up the can of milk. A light layer of water vapor seeped out of the can, and water droplets rolled down the outer packaging, making her fingertips feel cold.
The dishes her aunt cooked at noon were rather heavy in flavor, and she was indeed a little thirsty, so she picked up the milk and took a sip.
Lin Zixia frowned slightly. Although it tasted better after being chilled, it was still a little too sweet for her.
But she was too embarrassed to say it, so she could only drink it in small sips.
Lin Zixia raised his eyes inadvertently. The gauze curtain outside the living room window was white and transparent. When the sunlight shone in, he could see tiny dust particles jumping in the air.
The sun is shining outside the window, the cicadas are chirping, the shadows of the trees are swaying, and the place is filled with lush green.
She suddenly felt some expectations and yearning for a new life.
Just like she never expected that on her first day in Chengdu, she would play cards with a group of top students who might become her classmates.
It's so magical.
However, this feeling seems to be not bad.
Wu You's occasional shouting, Xu Wu's surprised or regretful voice, He Yan's brief and calm voice, and Lu Xiangye's occasional laughter and scolding, all intertwined and surrounded Lin Zixia's ears, composing a summer melody.
It is the youthful spirit, the fiery and frankness, the refusal to give in easily. It is also the fearlessness, the wanton frivolity, the freedom to laugh and scold.
At this moment, the unknown road ahead doesn't seem so stressful anymore.
The more Wu You fought, the more excited he became, and he lost more and more. Even after He Yan tried to persuade him, he still refused to stop.
"I just can't believe my luck is so bad. I won't leave until I win today!"
They were just melon seeds anyway, so he looked back with a fearless attitude. At worst, he would just finish peeling the whole bag!
Lin Zixia drank too much water and wanted to get up to go to the bathroom, only to find that her skirt was pressed down.
Lu Xiangye was tall and had long legs, which seemed to have nowhere to go under the small table. However, he didn't know how to restrain himself and stretched them out to Wu You opposite him, taking up most of the space.
Lin Zixia was sitting cross-legged, with her skirt spread out, covering her legs completely.
She quietly reached out and tugged at her skirt.
Can't pull it.
Lu Xiangye caught a glimpse of the little girl's small movements beside him, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, with great interest.
Lin Zixia pulled again, but still couldn't move it.
She sighed, pursed her lips, raised the corners of her lips into a perfect arc, turned around and gently poked Lu Xiangye's shoulder with her fingertips.
Lu Xiangye was adding chips when he turned back nonchalantly with a questioning look in his eyes.
Lin Zixia said softly, "I want to go to the bathroom."
Lu Xiangye casually pointed his finger backwards, "To the right."
Lin Zixia: ...
Noticing no movement beside him, Lu Xiangye looked over again, glancing at her lazily, his voice tinged with joking, "What? Can't you find the way? Do you need me to take you there?"
Lin Zixia was furious, but he still kept a smile on his face.
"You're pressing down my skirt."
