Chapter 7

Zhang Xiaoai seemed a little unusual tonight.It is reasonable to say such a big thing, according to her temper, she will definitely be chattering, talking for three hours without drinking saliva.But this time she was uncharacteristically, not only didn't speak much, but also looked thoughtful.

"What's wrong with you? I saw something was wrong with you during dinner. Are you scared and stupid, and you haven't recovered yet?" Xin Ya had just washed up and was about to go to bed. When she entered the room, she saw Zhang Xiaoai leaning on the bed with her hair stay.

"It's nothing, I just find it annoying."

"What's bothering you?"

Zhang Xiaoai pouted and didn't speak, and after a while he suddenly asked, "Hey, what do you think... Dong Ye?"

"Dong Ye?" Xin Ya was taken aback, "Why are you asking him all of a sudden?"

"Oh, it's fine if you say it!"

"It's good, it's good. What's the matter?"

"Huh? It's over in just two sentences?"

"Then what else do you want me to say?"

"Don't you... don't you think he... is special?" Zhang Xiaoai actually showed the appearance of a little girl that is rarely seen at ordinary times. "In the past, I always felt that he was at best a pampered son-in-law, who could not be carried by his shoulders or hands, and took his temperament as a meal. But I didn't expect that he was so unambiguous at the critical moment, and he was simply a boyfriend. And look at how kind he is to Xiaoshu. My mother said that a man who is kind to children can't be wrong."

"Do you like him?" As long as you are not blind, you can see Zhang Xiaoai's thoughts.

"What do you like! I admire him." Zhang Xiaoai turned her head and said shyly.

"Come on, look at you, hearts are popping out of your eyes." Xinya couldn't help joking.

"Really?" Zhang Xiaoai actually ran to look in the mirror after finishing speaking.

Xin Ya suppressed a smile and said, "But as far as I know, there are many people who are targeting him, you have to strike early!"

"It's up to you to say that? That's why I'm annoying! Do you think if I confess to him suddenly now, will it scare him?"

"You'll know if you try it?" Xinya winked at her mischievously.

"Hey, forget it?" Zhang Xiaoai hesitated and shook his head, "If I take the initiative, will he think I'm too casual?"

"How could it be? What era is it now? It's normal for girls to take the initiative."

"But don't Japanese people like the kind of traditional women who are virtuous and virtuous? I think he should still like girls who are more reserved?"

"Then you plan to do nothing now and wait for the rabbit? But what if the tree is snatched away by someone else before the rabbit finds out? Then you..."

"Ah! Stop talking! I'm getting bored to death!" Zhang Xiaoai finally yelled frantically.

"Oh, it turns out that our Miss Zhang is also upset sometimes? It seems that you only talk about others, but it's not the same when it comes to yourself?" Xin Ya was used to being scolded by her, but now she finally seized the opportunity to turn around.

"Okay, I've decided! I'll go find him tomorrow." Zhang Xiaoai felt as if a switch in his body was suddenly turned on, and he immediately entered a fighting state.

Xin Ya was stunned for a moment.This is the difference between her and Zhang Xiaoai.Maybe she is better than Zhang Xiaoai in many aspects, but she has to admit that there are some things that Zhang Xiaoai dares to do but she will never be able to do.

Early the next morning, Zhang Xiaoai proved with practical actions that he was definitely not just talking about it last night.

"What? Visit the village? Now?" Looking at Zhang Xiaoai who came to him early in the morning and said that he would take him to visit the village, Higashino Shizuru couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"Yes, the air is good in the morning, and if you are lucky, you can see squirrels." Zhang Xiaoai said generously.

"Did you read it wrong? It's a weasel, right?" Shen Sa interrupted in the room.

Zhang Xiaoai's face sank, and then she showed the sweetest smile, "Ms. Li said that we are going back today, so let me show you around."

"Mr. Li would say such a thing? When did he say it? Why didn't I hear it?" Shen Sa continued to find fault, causing several other boys in the room to also snicker.

Zhang Xiaoai took a deep breath and tried her best not to lose her demeanor in front of Shizuru Higashino. "If you are ready, let's go now, and we will come back later to pack our luggage."

Higashino Shizuru didn't know how to reject her for a while, so he followed her with a blank face.

"Did Zhang Xiaoai fall in love with Dongye?" Fang Jianyue said slowly until the two walked out of the yard.

"What are you talking about? Who's taken a fancy to Dongye?" Liu Hao just woke up, as if he didn't know what happened.

"What good is there for someone Zhang Xiaoxian likes? I think Dongye is going to be in trouble!" Shen Sa shook her head sympathetically.

"Are you jealous?" Fang Jianyue asked jokingly.

"Jealous? Me?" Shen Sa pointed to her nose with an incredulous expression.

"Aren't you and Zhang Xiaoai kindergarten classmates? You can also be regarded as green plums..."

"STOP!" Shen Sa immediately interrupted Fang Jianyue's words loudly, and then said seriously, "I warn you, don't mention these four words to me, whoever mentions me will be anxious!"

"What's the matter? Isn't Zhang Xiaoai very nice?" Wang Siyuan also said.

"It's not a question of whether it's good or not. It's that she and I are not of the same species at all. Didn't you see that we strangled as soon as we met? If we are really together, will we let people live?"

"Didn't you and Jianyue pinch each other as soon as they met? Then how do I think you are still living well?" Wang Siyuan asked back.

"Boss, if you want to talk about him, just talk about him, can you not involve me?" Fang Jianyue said dissatisfied.

"Shen Sa, you don't understand this. Usually, the more girls say they hate it, the more they actually like it in their hearts. This is called duplicity in love, right?"

"What's right? Anyway, I definitely don't like Zhang Xiaoxian, I'm afraid she will lower my head for me."

Several people were amused by his words.

"Huh? Where's Luo Ling?" Wang Siyuan realized that there seemed to be one person missing in the room.

"Take Xiaoshu and Yanzi for a morning run." Fang Jianyue replied.

Luo Ling has always had the habit of getting up early and running in the morning, but he didn't expect these two little guys to wake up earlier than him.Seeing that the other five people were still soundly asleep, and the two little guys were looking at him eagerly, Luo Ling had no choice but to agree to take them for a morning jog.The younger sister and brother don't know what a morning run is. They only know that it is very happy to run and have fun on the dew-soaked grass with bare feet.

"Have you played enough? Let's go back after playing enough?" Luo Ling is not good at getting along with children. Looking at the siblings who are running around and giggling at the moment, it always feels like walking a dog.

"I want to pee." Xiaoshu said suddenly.

"Pee?" Luo Ling glanced around, pointed to the field ridge on one side and said, "Go pee over there."

Who knew that Xiaoshu ran back after walking a few steps, "No, there is a sister over there."

Luo Ling looked back and saw Xin Ya walking from the ridge of the field.

"morning."

"morning."

The two simply greeted each other.

"Are you guys..." Xin Ya saw Luo Ling and the child together for the first time, unexpectedly the picture was quite harmonious.

"Morning run!" Xiaoshu said loudly before Luo Ling could speak.

Luo Ling reached out and patted his head.Although it was just an inadvertent little action, it made Xinya feel a throbbing feeling again.

"Where are you going?" Luo Ling asked.

"Oh, Grandma Yang's antihypertensive medicine is finished, I want to go to the village health center to help her get some." Xin Ya quickly withdrew her mind and said.

"Then we won't delay your serious business." Luo Ling said, beckoning to the younger sister, "Let's go home."

"I'm hungry." Xiaoshu said, Yanzi also nodded.

Luo Ling sighed helplessly, turned around and asked Xin Ya, "Have you had breakfast yet?"

Xin Ya hesitated for two seconds, and suddenly recalled what Zhang Xiaoai said last night, so she shook her head courageously.

"Then let's go together?" Luo Ling said naturally.

"The sesame seed cakes and fritters from Uncle Zhang's house in our village are the best." Yanzi suggested with a smile.

"Okay, you lead the way." Luo Ling waved his hand towards the sun, his smile was warmer and brighter than the morning sun.

Zhang Abo's biscuit stand is at the entrance of the village, and the old couple have been making biscuits for almost their entire lives, so that Zhang Abo often proudly said that more than half of the people in the village grew up eating his biscuits.Today, Uncle Zhang seemed to be in a particularly good mood, and he grinned when he saw Luo Ling and the other four.

"Oh, what kind of wind is blowing today, your classmates have just left before you came."

"Our classmates?" Luo Ling asked.

"Yeah, I just left not long ago." Uncle Zhang said while stuffing a sesame seed cake for Yanzi and Xiaoshu. "That boy went into the water to save Xiaoshu yesterday. The girl who was with him has a round face and a dimple when she smiles."

Xin Ya immediately guessed who Abo Zhang was talking about.

"Could it be Shen Sa and Zhang Xiaoai?" Luo Ling frowned, as if a little surprised.

"It's not Shen Sa, it's Dong Ye." Xin Ya smiled slightly.

"What?" Luo Ling was even more surprised. "The two of them?"

"Oh, Teacher Li asked Xiaoai to take Dongye around." Xin Ya hurriedly prevaricated as Zhang Xiaoai said.

Luo Ling didn't say anything, and didn't know if he believed Xin Ya's words.

"I heard that you and Dongye have known each other since childhood, is it true?" Xin Ya couldn't find a suitable topic to talk about for a while, so she simply asked about Dongye's affairs, and it was right to help Zhang Xiaoai collect information.

"Well, he and I were classmates in elementary school."

"Primary school students?"

Luo Ling nodded, "But it didn't take long, and his family lives next to our church."

"What a coincidence? How long has it been since you two saw each other?"

"Almost eight years?"

"Eight years?"

Luo Ling smiled lightly. "Yeah, I didn't dare to recognize him when I saw him for the first time."

"After so many years, people always change."

"No, you misunderstood. Actually, I don't think he's changed at all. I just can't believe I'll see him again."

The three-day volunteer activity has finally come to a successful conclusion.Just like when we came, the whole village came to the entrance of the village to see off the volunteers.Grandma Yang also specially cooked a big basket of five-spice eggs, Shen Sa took half of it greedily when she saw it, and said she would take it home and keep it for eating slowly.Higashino Shizuru gave the music player that he brought with him to Xiaoshu, but even so, he still couldn't make that little face smile again, which made Higashino Shizuru feel a little sad, a kind of helplessness with more than enough energy Added a touch of loss to his trip.

"What's the matter? Still thinking about Xiaoshu?" Luo Ling couldn't help asking after the car drove for more than ten minutes, but Dongye Jingxian didn't speak.

Thinking of Xiaoshu's eyes before leaving, Higashino Shizuru couldn't help but sigh, "I just feel that I can do too little for them."

"You have done enough. Their lives can only be carried out by themselves, and no one can help them for the rest of their lives." Luo Ling comforted.

"Wonder how they'll fare when we're gone?"

"Don't worry, the village head will take care of them."

"Hey, do you think Xiaoshu's mother will come to pick him up and Yanzi?" Fang Jianyue asked.

"Should be, right? After all, it's my child." Wang Siyuan said.

"That's not necessarily the case. There are many people in this world who don't want their own children!" Liu Hao's tongue is always ahead of his head.Just after he finished speaking, Wang Siyuan nudged him secretly with his elbow. Only then did Liu Hao realize that he had said something wrong, and quickly put on the earphones pretendingly, not daring to speak any more.

"Ah, Dongye, seeing that you are so popular with children, you must be a Cancer?" Seeing this, Fang Jianyue interrupted quickly.

"Cancer is good!" Zhang Xiaoai in the front row immediately turned around and said, "Cancer people are caring, value family, and will persevere in everything. There are many successful people who are Cancer. And," said At this point, Zhang Xiaoai glanced at Shizuru Higashino intentionally or unintentionally, "Cancer and Scorpio are the best match."

"Scorpio? Who is Scorpio? Are you talking about yourself?" Shen Sa seemed to have an instinct to irritate Zhang Xiaoai.

"No one will treat you as dumb if you don't speak." Zhang Xiaoai gave him a displeased look.

"Which sign did you say Cancer is most compatible with just now? I am a Cancer." Liu Hao took off his earphones and asked without knowing it.

Now Zhang Xiaoai's face became even uglier.

"Master Zhang, help me do the math, I'm a Virgo." Fang Jianyue held back her smile, and hurriedly opened her mouth to smooth things over.

Zhang Xiaoai was not disgusted by Fang Jianyue, so he opened the horoscope book he carried with him and read: "Virgo people pursue perfection, picky and nervous, and being critical is their characteristic. In addition, most Virgo people Lack of self-confidence, so they need the encouragement of friends and family to push them, and their naturally worried personality can also make them prone to pessimism.”

"It's so true!" Shen Sa clapped her hands and applauded.

"Can you pick something good to say?" Fang Jianyue frowned.

Zhang Xiaoai quickly searched the book, "Oh, here's one thing, most Virgos are very humble, but at the same time they are easy to bring pressure on themselves."

"It's that simple!" Shen Sa clapped her hands again.

"Hey, you haven't said who is the best match for Cancer!" Liu Hao was still on the sidelines.

Zhang Xiaoai ignored him, but asked Dongye Jingxian: "Dongye, is your birthday in June or July?"

"Ah?" Higashino Jingxian didn't know much about constellations, so she said after hearing Zhang Xiaoai's question, "I was born in December."

"What? December? How many years in December?" Zhang Xiaoai asked nervously.

"9...5 years? What's the matter?" Higashino Shizuru didn't know why Zhang Xiaoai was so nervous about this question.

However, Zhang Xiaoai was dumbfounded as soon as he finished speaking.

"I don't know what sign I am. What sign should it be in December?" Higashino Shizuru saw the obvious disappointment on the girl's face, but he didn't know why.

"Oh, let me do the math first, I'm a Taurus." Shen Sa didn't pay attention to the change in Zhang Xiaoai's face, and interjected.

"You don't know how to check online by yourself?" Zhang Xiaoai suddenly became angry.

"There's no internet here! Why don't you lend me that book? Just download it?" Shen Sa didn't mind, and continued to argue.

Zhang Xiaoai was in a bad mood and didn't want to hear his ramblings, so she simply threw the book in the back seat.

"Ah, Lao Fang, you and I have a match index of 100, we are a match made in heaven!" After a while, Shen Sa shouted excitedly.After speaking, he picked up the book and showed it to Fang Jianyue, as if he was afraid that he would not believe it.

"Go away! Who is a natural match for you?" Fang Jianyue waved away the constellation book Shen Sa handed over, and said impatiently.

"It's not what I said, it's what's in the book!" Shen Sa argued, "Look, what's written on it, you who belong to the same earth sign can easily get acquainted with each other. But the Taurus can always attract the attention of the Virgo. You two are a harmonious, intimate, and trusting combination. However, when it comes to relationships, neither the Virgo nor the Taurus is the type to take the initiative to show love.

"Are you annoying? It seems that you can read, doesn't it?"

"Oh, this book is really amazing. Zhang Xiaoxian can become a fairy because of it?" Facing Fang Jianyue's dislike of Shen Sa, he didn't care, and continued to read, "Look here, virgin It will be the best confidant for Taurus. Correspondingly, you put more pressure on Taurus than others. Although you will tolerate each other, remember not to put too much pressure and expectations on Taurus, otherwise he will explode. I heard Is it? You have to be nice to me in the future, or I will explode."

"I'll let you blow it up right now!" Fang Jianyue threw out a harsh sentence, and Shen Sa's wailing rang through the entire carriage.
