Chapter 65: What's in the Bag
After dinner, Lu Xiangye and Grandma Lu went back.
Lin Zixia helped Ye Yinghui clean up, and the three of them sat in the living room and chatted.
Xu Chengpeng looked at Lin Zixia with a gentle expression, "Xiaoxia, are you used to school? If you need anything, just talk to your aunt directly."
"When you came to Chengdu, you originally said you would come back, but the project there was tight and you couldn't leave."
Lin Zixia curled her lips and said, "I'm used to it, uncle. My aunt has told me that your work is more important."
Xu Chengpeng looked at Ye Yinghui with a smile, "My daughter is really considerate. That brat Yulin can't compare."
Ye Yinghui: "That's right, you guys are not at home. If Xiaoxia hadn't been with me, I would have been completely alone."
Xu Chengpeng quickly apologized with a smile, "When I finish this project, I will definitely make time to spend with you!"
Ye Yinghui glared at him and said, "Where do you want to go now that you have a limp in one leg?"
Xu Chengpeng put his arm around Ye Yinghui's shoulders and said, "I'll travel with you when my leg heals. You've always wanted to go to the Northwest, right? Let's go after the steel plate is removed!"
Ye Yinghui quickly broke free, "What are you doing here when the child is still here?"
Lin Zixia immediately raised his hands to cover his eyes, "I didn't see anything."
Xu Chengpeng smiled and said, "Look, Xiao Xia said she didn't see it."
Ye Yinghui hit him and said, "You really have no shame!"
Lin Zixia had heard from adults before that Xu Chengpeng and Ye Yinghui were in a free love relationship. At that time, Xu Chengpeng was still a poor boy. His grandmother did not agree, but his aunt insisted on getting married. At first, no one was optimistic, but later Xu Chengpeng's business grew, and their lives became better and better, and their relationship remained the same.
It’s just that in recent years, Xu Chengpeng has been traveling more often, and Ye Yinghui had to take care of her son’s college entrance examination in the past few years, so the two of them have been apart less and less.
Lin Zixia chatted with them in the living room for a while, then went back to his room on the pretext of doing homework.
She doesn't want to be a third wheel.
Lin Zixia returned to the room, turned on the desk lamp, opened her schoolbag and prepared to do her homework. After she put her books in place, she was suddenly stunned and subconsciously looked to the right.
She had been doing homework in Lu Xiangye's room for almost a week, and now that there was no one around, she actually felt a little uncomfortable.
The week I spent at Lu Xiangye's house seemed like a dream.
Lin Zixia shook his head, drove out the messy thoughts in his mind, and bent over the table to study.
The midterm exam is also very important to her.
The room was very quiet, with only the sound of shuffling papers. It was almost eleven o'clock when Lin Zixia finished the to-do list she had written.
She stretched and prepared to wash up and go to bed.
Suddenly, the phone next to me vibrated twice.
Lu Xiangye's message popped up:
[Same time tomorrow morning, waiting for you downstairs]
Lin Zixia held the phone in her hand, stunned. After a few seconds, she blinked.
Lu Xiangye meant to continue giving her a ride tomorrow?
She couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth and raised her hand to reply to him:
【good】
…
The next morning, after the alarm clock rang, Lin Zixia dozed off for a while longer. When she opened her eyes, ten minutes had passed.
She hurriedly got up from the bed, washed up quickly, took milk and bread from the refrigerator, and hurried downstairs.
"What are you doing so rashly?"
Lu Xiangye leaned lazily downstairs of the apartment building with one leg bent. It seemed that he had been waiting for a while.
Watching Lin Zixia rushing down the stairs, he lifted his eyelids and looked at her, "I could hear your footsteps on the first floor."
Lin Zixia took two breaths and said, "I slept for ten minutes longer. I almost missed it."
Lu Xiangye: "Did I rush you?"
Lin Zixia: "I am very punctual."
She handed him the milk and toast in her hand, "Breakfast."
Lu Xiangye raised his eyebrows slightly and handed over the breakfast in his hand, "Grandma asked me to bring it to you."
It's soy milk and fried dough sticks.
Lin Zixia stuffed the milk into Lu Xiangye's bag and reached out to take the soy milk and fried dough sticks. "Thank grandma for me. Let's go quickly, or we'll be late."
Lu Xiangye chuckled, "You're quite good at making arrangements."
Lu Xiangye was riding in front, while Lin Zixia was sitting on the back seat eating breakfast, not forgetting to instruct him, "Ride faster, Lu Xiangye, you're really going to be late."
Lu Xiangye raised the corner of his mouth slightly, teasing her deliberately, "I'm too tired to ride anymore."
Lin Zixia: “???”
Lu Xiangye: "You are too heavy."
Lin Zixia: “???”
Lin Zixia's eyes widened, and he reached out and pinched his waist, "You are the heavier one!"
Lu Xiangye shrank subconsciously, his Adam's apple rolled, and he stopped teasing her.
The bicycle sped along the street, and the boy's clothes were filled with wind, gently brushing against the girl's clothes.
…
The midterm exam is more formal than the placement test.
The examination rooms were divided according to the results of the previous examination, and the difficulty of the questions was much more difficult than the baseline examination.
After the Chinese language test in the morning, Lin Zixia came out of the examination room and waited for Cheng Zhiwei to have lunch together. In the corridor, she heard many classmates complaining that the reading comprehension test was too abnormal and they couldn't understand it.
After the math test in the afternoon, there was a lot of complaints. In the past, only the final question was too difficult, but now even the first few big questions have become more difficult.
Lin Zixia didn't feel anything. She had done some of the question types in Lu Xiangye's competition book, so she was not confused.
However, the overall difficulty of the midterm exam has increased.
After the exam, everyone's mood seemed to be a degree lower.
The classroom was bustling with activity as the teachers graded the papers. Some students were checking their answers, others were reading extracurricular books to calm their nerves, and others, like Lin Zixia, were practicing their homework.
Wu You had a bitter face. "Why does this have to be the parents' meeting? My mom will skin me alive..."
Li Senmiao patted his shoulder comfortingly. "It's okay. My dad has prepared the belt. I should be in a worse situation than you."
The two people who shared the same pain were almost crying.
Lu Xiangye raised his eyelids and glanced at Lin Zixia, "How do you feel this time?"
Lin Zixia paused, "It's a little harder than before."
She looked at him with a smile, "Why, are you still confident that you will get first place this time?"
Lu Xiangye leaned back lazily, his thin lips slightly parted, and he slowly uttered a few words, "Something in the bag."
Although this was arrogant, Lin Zixia believed that he had the ability. People who spoke with strength would not be laughed at no matter how arrogant they were.
She nodded. "Then let me congratulate you in advance?"
Lu Xiangye raised his eyebrows slightly, "That's not necessary."
After school, Jiang Xu announced that there would be a parent-teacher meeting the next day, and the classroom was suddenly filled with wailing.
Jiang Xu knocked on the desk. "During the baseline test, you all thought you were doing well. After this midterm exam, I hope you can all see the current situation clearly. Learning never ends. Your junior high school level doesn't represent your high school level. You still have a lot to learn."
"Okay, there will be a parent-teacher meeting tomorrow at nine o'clock. Remember to bring your parents to your seats."
After school, Wu You looked hopeless. Lin Zixia quietly asked Lu Xiangye, "Is Wu You's mother very strict with him?"
He felt like the sky was about to fall.
Lu Xiangye glanced at her and said, "You'll know for yourself tomorrow."
Lin Zixia didn't ask any further questions.
After separating at the gate of the community, Lu Xiangye and Lin Zixia walked back slowly.
Lu Xiangye looked at her bulging schoolbag and weighed it with his hand. "Lin Xiaoxia, you didn't relax for a moment after the exam?"
Lin Zixia lifted the strap of her schoolbag and said, "Of course, it's not the first day you found out that I love studying."
When she turned her head, the ends of her hair brushed his shoulders. Lu Xiangye gently pulled her ponytail and said, "You are such a hard worker!"
Lin Zixia reached out and slapped his hand away, glaring at him angrily, "How many times have I told you not to pull me..."
"Xiao Xia."
Before he could finish his words, a middle-aged female voice sounded in front of him. Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Zixia's pupils shrank, his heart skipped a beat, and he froze in place.
