man to marry
Chapter 27
The small fluffy body, the round eyes soaked with water, and even because of the blackness, there is a faint blue light around the pupils, and the white and black fluff is very short, making the small body But it was wrapped more and more softly. His two small front paws were pawed on the edge of the pocket, and he met Shu Xia's eyes in a daze. Same on the apex.
However, is it really okay to just put it in your pocket like this?
"It's so cute," Shu Xia stretched out her finger, and gently scratched the little head, and the little guy's two front paws hugged her finger. It was soft and warm, making Shu Xia's heart ache. They all softened up, "What kind of animal is your brother?"
It really looks like a kitten.
"It's the white tiger," Shang Lu looked at the fingers held by his younger brother's paws, feeling inexplicably that those two small paws were very obtrusive. He had never hugged Xia Xia's fingers before, and he actually let his younger brother take a step ahead.
"Little tiger," Shu Xia moved her fingers slightly, watching the little guy's fingers holding him shaking together, the corners of her eyes curled up.
The king of beasts is really powerful. Shu Xia once saw a white tiger in a wild animal park, with fangs and sharp claws, and even ran with their cars without losing. It's a pity that he can only look at it, not touch it. You can't touch the big ones, let alone such a small tiger.
Compared with kittens, which girls like pets, Shu Xia naturally prefers fierce tigers. If she can suck tigers, it must be many times more exciting than sucking cats.
"When you grow up, you must be very majestic," Shu Xia smiled and retracted her hand. Although she liked it very much and was very reluctant to part with it, her brother was still beside her. He was a beastman, not a real pet.
"I am more majestic than him," Shanglu said in a deep voice looking at his smile.
"What?" Shu Xia looked at him in confusion.
Shang Lu casually scratched the stupid hair on his younger brother's head and said, "I am also a white tiger, more majestic than him."
Shu Xia blinked and looked at the tall man in front of her, then looked down at the little white tiger who was pressed into her pocket, and asked in a daze, "Are you an orc too?"
Shang Lu saw his surprise, nodded and said, "It's not surprising that you can't see it, only orcs have mutual feelings."
"Oh," Shu Xia nodded, feeling that the world is amazing. He has been with Shanglu for so long, but he didn't realize that he is still a beastman.
The younger brother is a little white tiger, and the older brother is a big white tiger. The younger brother's meat pads are relatively small, but if it is a big white tiger, the meat pads must be very easy to touch, soft, and full of fur. Pounce on it...don't worry!
Shu Xia quickly fanned away the thoughts in her mind, smiled at Shanglu's gaze and said, "You called me just now, what else is there?"
Shang Lu has a lot of things he wants to say to him, but the words are not as smooth as he thought, "Do you want to go skiing? This weekend..."
"Skiing?" Shu Xia subconsciously wrapped her coat tightly. He is not weak, but he is naturally afraid of the cold. Especially in winter, he can't wait to wrap himself into a ball with three layers inside and outside. The place is very cold when you hear it.
Rather than going to that place, he would rather try new dishes in his heated home.
"Yes, don't you want to go?" Shang Lu asked looking at his expression.
"No," Shu Xia declined with a smile. "This winter vacation is very short. I made an appointment with my grandma to see her, so I'm sorry."
"When are you leaving?" Shang Lu felt a little regretful in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
"Tomorrow," Shu Xia replied, "I've already bought a ticket for tomorrow, sorry."
"It's okay, be careful on the road," Shanglu stuffed the prepared ticket deeper into his pocket.
"Okay." Shu Xia looked at Baba again at his little tiger, smiled and waved, "Goodbye little guy."
The little white tiger tilted his head in confusion, stared blankly at him with the dumb hair on his head, and made an unknown sound of wow wow.
"If you like him, you can visit him often," Shanglu suggested, seeing the liking in his eyes.
"Is it okay?" Shu Xia's eyes light up slightly, big orcs can't just masturbate, but small ones can.
"Of course," Shang Lu nodded hastily.
"Great," Shu Xia rolled her eyes, "How old is he, can he eat? I'll bring something delicious next time."
He is also very good at baby food supplements.
Shang Lu heard him say it was delicious, subconsciously recalled the food he ate last time, and replied, "It's been more than three months."
"Huh?" Shu Xia looked at the little tiger, and twitched the corners of her mouth. If it was more than three months old, it would be too big for a baby. You actually put him in your pocket and carried him with you. He thought he was at least one year old... "You How long have you been carrying him like this?"
"From the time of the full moon," Shanglu replied without any guilt.
Shu Xia tried hard to remind, "...Aren't you afraid of catching a cold like this?"
Shang Lu pushed the little guy into his pocket again and said, "The orcs are very strong."
Shu Xia "Oh..."
This straight man's way of raising children.
Since it has been taken for so long, and Shanglu himself is a doctor, Shu Xia felt that he could not say anything, so he left.
The third year of high school started earlier than her juniors, but her vacation was later than others. After leaving the hospital gate, Shu Xia shrank her neck subconsciously into her scarf, looked at the withered and yellow leaves that the winter wind occasionally rolled up, and let out a long breath. In one breath, white water mist appeared in front of his eyes, the weather was really cold to the bone.
The whole vacation is only half a month. It seems that the end of the new year is coming soon. When he got on the bus, the hanging TV on it was showing the news of the upcoming New Year. His eyes were full of red for this bleak winter. Dyed with a lively color.
Shu Xia braced her cheeks and followed the shaking of the car, thinking about what to eat for the New Year's Eve dinner. In his previous life, he didn't go to grandma's place many times. What impressed him most about the kitchen was the big pot that could cook a lot of soup and the one push The one-pull blowing bellows, the memory is very vague, but the soup cooked on the stove has a special fragrance and a lingering aftertaste.
It's a pity that my grandma's house is in the mountains, unlike the city with air conditioning and heating. He thought it was too cold in winter, like an ice cellar, so he didn't like to go there. Now that he thinks about it, he feels very nostalgic.
Even though it was very cold at that time, the kang in my grandmother's house was kept warm every day, and I would not feel cold after sleeping all night.
Listening to the sound of the wind blowing the leaves at night, lying in the warm quilt should actually be very happy. Shu Xia thought about what was about to happen, and took a breath towards the window, a small white thing flashed across his eyes , he looked carefully, only to find pieces of white falling from the sky.
"It's snowing," a passenger said in surprise, and also leaned over the window to watch.
Shu Xia smiled when she saw the snow, auspicious snow heralds a good year, such a big snowflake might be a heavy snow.
When Shu Xia returned home, the snow had already fallen heavily. Looking up, there was a vast expanse of whiteness all around, and the ground was covered with a shallow layer. Occasionally, black footprints would be left as pedestrians walked, but they were very Covering it quickly, Shu Xia breathed a sigh of relief into the palm of his hand, and walked towards the house.
Today, Bai Rou takes a break, he promised his mother to accompany her to buy new year's goods today, and he doesn't know if she has packed it.
Shu Xia returned home and flicked off the snow from her body, only to find that her mother was still nestling on the sofa watching TV, without even a trace of tidying up. "Aren't you going out today?"
Bai Rou curled up on the sofa, with a thin blanket covering her legs, seeing him coming in with snow on her hair, she asked, "It's snowing here too, it's quite big, please close the door, it's so cold. "
"Also?" Shu Xia entered the warm room, took a deep breath, and expelled the cold air all over her body, "It's snowing everywhere."
"It's your grandma's place," Bairou Guazi coughed loudly, "Your grandma called today and said that the mountain roads were blocked by heavy snow, so let's not go there this year, and wait until you finish the exam next year."
"Ah? Why is this?" Shu Xia was a little disappointed. The big stove and heating kang he had imagined were gone, and the wind blowing the leaves made it even more delusional.
"Look at you like that, I'm quite disappointed." Bai Rou glanced at him sideways, threw him a peanut and said, "Okay, let's concentrate on studying this year. I'm supposed to be on duty this year, so I won't be free to see you off." In the past, let you go alone, I am afraid that you will lose yourself."
"Are you on duty this year? Then I'm 31 at home?" Shu Xia felt uncomfortable thinking about the feeling.
Bai Rou didn't think it mattered, "Didn't I take a rest for the New Year a few years ago? Those little nurses' homes were far away. It's okay to go home and have a look during the New Year this year. Why? Are you afraid of being lonely during the New Year? Then go to Wang Zhi's house for a while Let's eat."
"I'm not going, he's going to his grandparents' house, there are a lot of relatives and friends," Shu Xia changed his shoes and sat down on the sofa, and said with a smile, "And you're not at home, I'm happy and relaxed by myself."
"Stinky boy," Bai Rou scolded him with a smile, "That's fine, I'll only be on duty for one night, and I'll be home on the first morning of the Chinese New Year."
"Yes," Shu Xia nodded with a smile.
In fact, it's nothing to spend alone at the age of 31, but inexplicably, Shu Xia thought of Lin Xian. He took his sister out to make a living, and he didn't know how to spend the New Year?If they don't go home during the Chinese New Year, maybe he can go over and find a partner, so that he won't be really alone.
The New Year's Eve came very fast, Shu Xia just went out with Bai Rou to buy all the necessities for the New Year, made up a few classes, cleaned the inside and outside of the house, and pasted couplets, it seemed that the New Year's Eve was coming.
Although he was free these few days, he still declined Shanglu's invitation to go skiing. After all, things like skiing sounded too cold.
Thirty past noon, Bai Mu went out to be on duty. There are not many people in the hospital under the new year, but someone needs to be watching. When, must receive.
Listening to the sound of firecrackers outside, Shu Xia called Lin Xian, "Hey, Lin Xian, how are you going to spend your New Year's Eve?"
……
The Spring Festival Gala was playing on the TV as usual, Shu Xia was there rolling out dumpling wrappers with noodles, and the phone was placed beside it, with happy new year messages popping up one after another, the shaking desktop was buzzing.
Lin Mang is here to help, the little girl seems to have grown a little taller, wearing an orange turtleneck sweater, she looks warm and cozy, she rolled up her sleeves and slowly wrapped the dumplings, "Brother Shu Xia, I can't make dumplings well Never mind."
"It's okay, as long as you squeeze it tightly so that the skin doesn't break," Shu Xia looked at the dumplings she made, and pointed to the one in her hand to teach her how to squeeze it tightly.
The little girl also learned very quickly, every time she squeezed one, it was better than the last one. She put down the dumpling in her hand, sniffed her nose, rubbed her fingertips lightly on the tip of her nose, but didn't pay attention to the dumpling on her hand. The flour directly stained it white there.
Shu Xia smiled and found a towel to wipe her off, "There's flour on your hands, don't touch it, or you'll turn into a painted cat."
"Well," Lin Mang smiled at him.
Cozy and warm, Lin Xian sat on the sofa and watched this scene, seemingly pressing his phone, but his fingers did not move for a long time, the young man's smile seemed to be warm, not hot, but directly warming his heart.
In his impression, Chinese New Year is not a particularly joyful thing. In his distant memory, his family’s New Year’s is different from other people’s homes. It is always full of coldness and the smell of tobacco and alcohol. Busy, the Chinese New Year is basically spent in entertainment, and once in a while with Lin Mang, it's just cooking some quick-frozen dumplings.
It's not that he didn't think that during the Chinese New Year, a gentle person would prepare him a New Year's Eve dinner. He would knead the dough, roll out the skin, adjust the stuffing, and then wrap round dumplings like those shown on TV. , It's just that I used to think that those were all delusions.
And the scene in front of him was like a dream in a cold night many years ago. Although the gender was wrong, this kind of warmth pierced a person's heart and lungs forcefully, pouring warmth into it, making it impossible for people to ignore it.
Shu Xia, Shu Xia, Shu Xia, just saying this name makes people feel warm.
"Brother, don't play with your phone, come here and help," Lin Mang stared at him with dissatisfaction, "Brother Shu Xia has done all the work by himself, you just wait to eat."
"As for my handicap, you're sure it wasn't a disservice to me in the past," Lin Xian stood up from the sofa, put down his phone to wash his hands, then rolled up his sleeves and walked over, picked up a dumpling wrapper, "How to make it?"
"This way," Shu Xia finished rolling out the dough, picked up a piece of dumpling wrapper, scooped up the filling and put it on, pinching it deftly with her slender fingers, watched as the excess filling was wrapped in and turned into a big dumpling dumpling wrapper. The dumpling with a full stomach was firmly placed on the chopping board by him.
"Wow, Brother Shu Xia is really amazing." Lin Mang looked at the dumpling, compared it with his own, and said in frustration, "I thought I made a good dumpling, but after this comparison, I finally know what kind of cloud and mud our teacher taught. Don't make any sense."
"It's not that exaggerated," Shu Xia smiled, "The difference between cloud and mud is still useful."
"Anyway, it means that the buns are very good." Lin Mang said enthusiastically, "Brother Shu Xia, would you use this to make small buns?"
"Yes," Shu Xia nodded.
"Pack one, pack one," Lin Mang clasped his hands together and begged.
Shu Xia picked up the dumpling wrapper again, her fingers fluttered, and a cute little bun fell in front of Lin Mang, and then another cute little steamed bun, triangular one, crescent moon one, Shu Xia even pinched it ingeniously. A few steamed dumplings in the shape of butterflies came out.
Seeing how Lin Mang was holding it carefully, Shu Xia felt that this skill was not in vain.
"Brother Shu Xia is amazing," Lin Mang said with admiration, "You are so skillful."
"It's very simple, if you want to learn, I'll teach you," Shu Xia said with a smile.
Lin Mang learned a lesson from him enthusiastically, looked at her own appearance, smiled awkwardly, and put it in a pile of dumplings, "I'll make the ugly ones for my brother to eat," she looked at Lin Xian and said, "Hey, Brother, where did you pack it? Show me."
"No," Lin Xian thought of the torn skin he pinched before, and he couldn't mend it well, so he wrapped another layer of dumpling with skin on it, and secretly squeezed it in his hands, intending to destroy the corpse in a short while.
"Stingy," Lin Mang wrinkled his nose at him.
Shu Xia did see it, but she didn't point it out. Occasionally, the boss wants to save some face for the employees.
The dumplings were put into the pot, served one after another, with the prepared garlic water, listening to the music constantly playing on the TV, several people ate with gusto, even Shu Xia felt a little full when she stopped .
It's easy to doze off after eating, and it's called keeping the year old. In fact, during the New Year, people tend to be sleepy. When Shu Xia and Lin Xian finished cleaning up the dishes, Lin Mang began to nod while watching the Spring Festival Gala.
"Then let's go back first." Lin Xian held his coat and was about to wake Lin Mang to leave, but was stopped by Shu Xia.
"It's dark and the road is slippery, why don't you stay tonight," Shu Xia looked at Lin Mang who was dozing off and said, "And go out with sleepiness, I'm prone to catch a cold, just as my mother is not here tonight, let your sister sleep with me In Mom's room, can you sleep with me?"
"I'll sleep with you?" Lin Xian paused while holding the coat, and turned his head away. When he spoke, his voice was a little hoarse, "Are you sure?"
"What? Are you afraid that my bed will be crowded? I sleep well, and I won't roll around," Shu Xia looked at his expression, and suddenly smiled, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."
But I was afraid of what I would do to you, Lin Xian rubbed his fingers, finally gave up this very tempting invitation and said, "I'd better sleep on the sofa, your sofa is quite big."
"Are you really worried?" Shu Xia raised her eyebrows and said, "Okay, if you insist, I'll get you a thicker quilt at night."
"It's not that I'm worried, it's that I don't sleep well, and I'm afraid I'll kick you out of bed." Hearing what he said, Lin Xian couldn't tell what he was feeling for a while, regret?A little bit, but more of a sigh of relief.
Considering his current situation, not only can it not bring him any happiness, but it may also bring hidden dangers. Before he has completely turned over, he really shouldn't bother him too much. Now he is not qualified to and the ability to embrace him.
Having already decided to sleep here, Lin Xian hugged Lin Mang to rest inside, but when he closed the door and came out, he saw Shu Xia hanging up the phone.
Shang Lu's call came as expected, Shu Xia originally planned to call a few acquaintances to say hello after the New Year's Eve dinner, but unexpectedly, Shang Lu called him first.
"Xia Xia, Happy New Year," Shang Lu's steady voice came from the phone, unlike the countless firecrackers on his side, the sky was full of fireworks, and it was really quiet over there.
"Shanglu, Happy Chinese New Year," Shu Xia said with a smile, "Have you had the New Year's Eve dinner yet?"
"I've eaten," Shang Lu continued, "Auntie's dishes are eaten by the whole family. How about you? What did you eat?"
"It's nothing special, just dumplings," Shu Xia said looking at the fireworks in the distance.
"Did you make it yourself? It must be delicious," Shanglu said. "My family's New Year's Eve dinner tastes the same every year. It must not be as delicious as yours."
"It's true," Shu Xia said with a smile, "For the sake of your praise, I'll make it for you next time I have a chance."
"Okay, it's a deal," Shang Lu thought about the young man's smile, and said with some regret, "It's a pity that you didn't go to grandma's house, and you couldn't take you skiing together. Do you want to go together after the New Year..."
"Shanglu," Shu Xia stopped him.
"What?" Shang Lu stopped talking.
Shu Xia was discouraged, "Actually, I don't like skiing... I, I'm afraid of the cold. If you invite me to soak in the hot spring, I'll pack up and go right away."
"Then I invite you to take a hot spring, which day is convenient for you?" Shang Lu immediately invited, and at the same time was about to contact the hot spring club, he remembered that there seemed to be a natural hot spring in Nanshan.
He pressed his fingers on the phone, but his thoughts began to fly. If he took a hot spring, he would take off his clothes. Then he had to book a private room, not in the open air, and Xia Xia took off his clothes... Shang Lu swallowed, feeling the air outside A little hot.
"You don't really intend to invite me to take a hot spring, do you?" Shu Xia twitched her lips. "I'm just kidding. School will start soon after the Chinese New Year. I really don't have time to play."
"Oh, that's it," Shanglu felt his blood cool down, "Then you should study hard and play again when you have time."
"Okay, thank you, Shanglu," Shu Xia faintly felt the disappointment in Shanglu's tone, and said with a smile, "Well, after the new year, I'll treat you to dinner after I'm done with work."
"Xia Xia," Shang Lu's heart warmed, and he said in a deep voice, "No, your own affairs are more important. Can we make an appointment when you are free?"
"Okay," Shu Xia smiled, "Happy New Year then, goodbye."
"Goodbye," Shanglu waited for him to hang up, looked at the name on the screen, and let out a breath of white air.
There was a voice from behind, Liu Zijun stood beside him, squinting and smiling, "You're on the phone with the kid again? It's been so long since you didn't get it, the tricks taught by your father don't work?"
"Very useful," Phytophthora said, looking at the withered branches and leaves in the courtyard, "He is very tired now, I don't want to use this to distract him."
"You always have your own ideas," Liu Zijun gathered his coat and said, "But I also want to tell you that love is like a battlefield, and in a relationship, you must be ruthless when you should be ruthless, otherwise you will lose, and the one who will suffer in the end is you."
"I'd rather be the one who suffers." Shanglu fastened the top button for her and said, "Go back, it's cold outside."
"Really, don't listen to the old man's words," Liu Zijun was stunned for a moment, shook his head with a smile, and went back to the house with him.
Really, this guy completely followed Shang Hao's. He treats you all the way, so you can't refuse him at all.
However, that's fine too.
Shu Xia made a few more phone calls, and when she turned around, she found Lin Xian sitting quietly in the living room. The Spring Festival Gala was still on TV, and he seemed to be watching it.
"Aren't you sleeping yet?" Shu Xia asked.
Lin Xian lowered the volume of the TV and asked, "Were you greeting a friend just now?"
Shu Xia nodded, "Yes, some good friends, I have to call and ask."
"Well," Lin Xian continued to watch the TV, as if he was just asking a question casually.
Shu Xia didn't care about him deliberately, went into the kitchen and cooked a pot of dumplings again, put them in the insulated box, then packed them in a bag, put on her shoes, took her coat and planned to go out.
"Where are you going so late? Where are you going?" Lin Xian turned to look at him and stood up, "Do you want me to take you there?"
"My mother is on night shift, so I'll bring her some supper there, just one stop, very close, and I can go there by myself," Shu Xia opened the door and explained.
"Let me go with you." Lin Xian hurriedly put on his shoes, took his coat, and closed the door behind him. "I don't worry about you being alone."
"Don't worry? I'm afraid I'll be robbed," Shu Xia wanted to show him the muscles on his arms, but found that the clothes were too thick, and the muscles couldn't be shown, so he could only be discouraged and said, "Leave Lin Mang alone." It's not good at home."
"You lock the door, that girl fell asleep like a pig, you can't wake her up with thunder in her ear, don't worry," Lin Xian smeared his sister behind his back, without any conscience of his own brother.
"Okay," Shu Xia thought that the place is not far away, so there is no problem going there and returning quickly, so she did as he said.
On the night of New Year's Eve, the road was not as lively as usual, it was very deserted, only the fireworks in the distance kept blooming, bringing some laughter from the community, the two of them walked side by side for a while, and arrived at the hospital.
Shu Xia doesn't come here many times, but there are quite a few people who know him. The nurse at the door dozed off in the heating. He was relieved when he heard the door ring and saw Shu Xia, "Shu Xia, I'm here to see you. Mom? Nurse Bai The boss went to make rounds and will be back later, do you want to wait a while?"
"No need, I'm just here to bring her some supper." Shu Xia put the big insulated box on the counter and said, "Miss Bian, please pass it on to me."
"Okay, let's put it here, I'll give it to her when she comes back later," the nurse on duty said with a smile, "Head nurse Bai is really blessed, what did you make delicious for your mother?"
"Dumplings, I brought some more. If Miss Bian doesn't mind, you can try it," Shu Xia said with a smile. I sent warmth.
"Okay, then I won't be polite," the nurse on duty smiled sincerely, and said goodbye to him.
Shu Xia went out, and Lin Xian was lighting a cigarette under the steps. The white smoke turned into smoke rings one after another under the light, and the half-smoked cigarette was caught between the slender fingers. When the light is on, it brings a sense of leisure.
It's rare for Shu Xia to see people smoking so nicely. It's not the crazy smoking method of addiction, but puffing clouds like a temporary relief.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Lin Xian glanced over, squatted down and pressed out the cigarette butt in his hand, then threw it into the trash can beside him, exhaled the last breath of white mist and said, "It came out so soon."
"Well, my mother is not here, so I left it to the person on duty." Shu Xia walked back with him, raised her head and asked, "Why didn't you go in just now?"
"I have to explain for a long time after I go in. It's troublesome." Lin Xian shook his collar to disperse the smell of cigarettes on his body, and yawned, "The main reason is that I'm sleepy, so I need to cherish the time and sleep well."
He just didn't want to meet the most important woman to Shu Xia in this state.
Lin Xian is tall, with long legs, he distanced himself from Shu Xia in a few steps, and Shu Xia could only pouted and followed quickly.
That night, Shu Xia slept well. Even though there were firecrackers outside from time to time, he had no dreams. When he woke up, he looked at the ceiling and was still a bit confused, but outside, there was already the sound of chopping vegetables.
Shu Xia turned over, missed the comfort and warmth of the quilt for a while, then pulled her hair and walked out with slippers on. There was no trace of sleeping on the sofa in the living room, and the quilt was neatly folded. Shu Xia noticed When I went to my mother's bedroom, Lin Mang was gone.
In the kitchen, Bai Rou was cooking porridge and rice. When she saw him, she smiled softly, "Get up, go wash your face."
"Yeah," Shu Xia hummed softly, went into the bathroom and said, "Mom, weren't you tired after working the night shift last night?"
Bai Rou looked at the soup in the pot and said, "I'm not tired. I slept with Xiao Bian last night. For the sake of the dumplings you sent, I was allowed to sleep a little longer."
"Did she still boast to you that your son is very filial?" Shu Xia spat out the mouthwash, wiped her face, and leaned against the kitchen door frame to tease her.
"Yes, yes," Bai Rou said with a smile on her face, "She said she was envious to death, and she will have a son in the future."
"Haha," Shu Xia laughed.
"Hey, by the way, who came to our house last night," Bai Rou asked casually.
"Last time I asked the friend who wrote the contract." Shu Xia had nothing to hide. "He brought his sister here to celebrate the New Year, so I asked him to come over for a meal and rest for the night."
"Oh, so," Bai Rou muttered, "I said why there is a quilt on the sofa, but your friend left so early, I didn't bump into the one who came back at seven in the morning."
"He might have the habit of getting up early," Shu Xia froze for a moment, then said perfunctorily, then walked to the edge of the sofa, picked up the quilt and tidied it up.
Left before seven o'clock?You're leaving in such a hurry, is there something urgent?But why did he take Lin Mang away with him in an emergency?Shu Xia somehow felt that Lin Xian seemed to be hiding from something.
"It's an illusion," Shu Xia shrugged and closed the closet door.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the third year of high school started again, and the gossip of the students was replaced with a new one. One of the gossips was Wang Zhi's awakening of the orc.
Awakening is a good thing. Although some people speak a bit sourly, more people are envious.
"People say that the awakening of the orcs will improve their physique. I didn't believe it before. After meeting Wang Zhi, I realized that it's true. I'll go."
"I can't believe it, I'm so envious..."
"I want to wake up too!"
Shu Xia listened to a few casually, but didn't take it seriously until he saw Wang Zhi again.
The handsome guy in front of him with thick eyebrows, big eyes, good looks, tall, smooth muscles, and a sunny smile told him that his name was Wang Zhi.
"Brother, I haven't seen you for a few days, where did you go for plastic surgery?" Shu Xia grinned.
"Which plastic surgery shop can make my face so handsome?" Wang Zhi touched his chin, put his arm around Shu Xia's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Do you think you are so handsome and shocked?"
Shu Xia nodded, she was more than shocked, she was almost blown away, awakening an orc, and it still has the effect of body plastic surgery, can this be described as shock?
Wang Zhi bowed his head and laughed, "Actually, when I first changed back, I was also very shocked. It turns out that my buddy lost weight, and I was actually such a handsome man. Why didn't I wake up earlier? People always say that fat people are Potential stocks, it turned out not to be a scam.”
Shu Xia's mood was very complicated, and she didn't know how to answer his words for a moment.
Let's not talk about the sudden change of the buddy's animal shape. After a few days, it seems that he has changed his body suddenly. Shu Xia feels that he has to slow down and calm down.
It's a pity that Wang Zhi didn't feel it, he felt that he was in a great mood, and he was confident, "My buddy is so handsome, I have decided, I want to pursue my goddess."
"Come on, I'll cheer you up," Shu Xia sighed, feeling that it would take a little longer to calm down.
Is there really no problem with the big black bear and the white fox?
Mixed feelings.
Facts have proved that there is really no problem. When everyone saw Wang Zhi chasing Ning Ya, they just said that he was another one who fell under the skirt of the school flower pomegranate, but no one said that the black bear and the white fox were reproductively isolated or something.
Of course, Wang Zhi was not too blatant. After all, when he was still in the third year of high school, the concentration of the teachers' eyes was comparable to that of a microscope. However, because of the convenient terrain, Shu Xia became his mouthpiece. When Ning Ya was, the expression on Ning Ya's face could be called surprise.
Shu Xia didn't want to cause misunderstandings, and subconsciously explained, "This is a love letter from Wang Zhi to you. You should have seen the one who often comes to our class to look for me."
"Oh, so," Ning Ya seemed to be thinking for a while, but she still took the love letter and stuffed it into her schoolbag. As for whether she read it later, it was out of Shu Xia's consideration. After all, he didn't know whether he had seen it or not. There are so many brothers who have lost their halberds here in the school, but there are really not many Wang Zhi.
"I'm very disappointed," Wang Zhi picked up the food in distaste, and specially picked shredded meat and eggs to deliver to his mouth. "The school belle doesn't know me at all, my goddess..."
Shu Xia ate quietly, heard him complain, and asked, "How come I don't know you?"
Wang Zhi raised his head, with a look of grief and indignation, "Just this morning, when I was looking for you, I greeted the school belle..."
He stopped talking halfway through, and Shu Xia heard half of it, and asked doubtfully, "And then."
"Then," Wang Zhi covered his face, "then she froze for a moment, nodded with me and passed."
"That's not normal," Shu Xia picked a piece of fat from the dish, and put it directly on his plate.
Wang Zhi didn't dislike it either, he picked it up and ate it, babbling, "It's not normal, then the words who are you are written on your face."
"Cough," Shu Xia almost couldn't hold back her laughter, coughed lightly and finally suppressed it, "Isn't that not in the same class, you want to be in the same class, see you every day, then you'll know each other."
"It's easy for you to say, you occupy the first place in the grade, and there are countless people bowing their heads behind you, so don't panic at all, let me," Wang Zhi sighed, "Awakening an orc, I don't see how smart it is."
"Didn't you improve by more than 100?" Shu Xia propped her chin and said, "It's not like I said, with Ning Ya's grades, as long as she doesn't perform abnormally and enters a university like University A, you will be considered to catch up with her. You don't plan to share a school together, don't you want to hold hands with her and eat on campus? Don't you want to be with her every day?"
"Think..." Wang Zhi's eyes began to light up when he heard his words.
Seeing him taking the bait, Shu Xia raised her eyebrows and said, "Then start today, wake up early with me every day, and go to make up lessons with me on weekends."
"Ah?" Wang Zhi wanted to repent.
Shu Xia tapped his plate to remind him "Goddess Goddess..."
"Understood..." Wang Zhi began to pick up the rice with a depressed face.
Studying and studying, when studying alone, the motivation is insufficient, and it will be much better if two people study together. This is why everyone likes to get together to do homework and is efficient.
And Wang Zhi also started the most nightmare period of his study career in his life.
It's just that the effect is really remarkable. Wang Zhi is indeed not the kind of person who stuffs his head with cotton and doesn't know anything about it. In the process of explaining to him, Shu Xia also uses the knowledge in his mind more flexibly and firmly.
I don’t know when the countdown on the blackboard was written, and people are constantly updating it every day, as if the whole classroom is dyed with a layer of anxiety, and Wang Zhi, who finally entered the rocket class and plans to see the goddess, every day I can only raise my head and aim at the two-eyed goddess to increase my motivation, and the rest of the time I just keep scrolling through the question bank.
He knew that he was no smarter than Shu Xia, and he finally had the opportunity to learn well, so of course he had to grasp it.
In this anxious atmosphere, the countdown finally reached the last day.
The last day was the day to move things and tidy up. After a year of hard work, on the last day, Shu Xia emptied her mind and stopped looking at those textbook exercises. The teacher on the podium arranged the examination room, and her tone was unconcealedly relaxed .
After such a hard year, not only the students are tired, but the teachers are also exhausted, and their minds are tense.
Fortunately, Shu Xia's exam was held in this school, so he didn't have to go back and forth like other students, but Wang Zhi was assigned to another school, but his father was happy, and specially closed the shop to accompany him to the exam for two days, The car pick-up and delivery is not too much trouble.
"Come on," Shu Xia encouraged him.
Wang Zhi tapped his shoulder lightly, "Together."
During the two-day exam, Shu Xia originally thought that he would be very nervous, but in fact, he was so engrossed that even he was surprised, but after two days, he still felt exhausted.
The students who finished the exam were tearing up the books frantically from top to bottom, the paper falling denser than snowflakes, but Shu Xia silently packed her notes in a cardboard box, a set of her own notes, and a set of notes from Shanglu. , arranged neatly together, and were carried into the rear compartment by Uncle Wang.
"Look at Xia Xia's books, how neat they are," Uncle Wang was there and Wang Zhi babbled, "Look at yours, it looks like a dog has chewed on it."
Wang Zhi looked aggrieved. He wanted to say that he planned to tear up the book. If Shu Xia hadn't left it behind, he would have lost sight of the one he had thrown away. It's a pity that he couldn't see the book he had thrown away. up.
Shu Xia chuckled, sat in the car, looked at the school gate gradually going away, and said softly in her heart, "Goodbye."
However, is it really okay to just put it in your pocket like this?
"It's so cute," Shu Xia stretched out her finger, and gently scratched the little head, and the little guy's two front paws hugged her finger. It was soft and warm, making Shu Xia's heart ache. They all softened up, "What kind of animal is your brother?"
It really looks like a kitten.
"It's the white tiger," Shang Lu looked at the fingers held by his younger brother's paws, feeling inexplicably that those two small paws were very obtrusive. He had never hugged Xia Xia's fingers before, and he actually let his younger brother take a step ahead.
"Little tiger," Shu Xia moved her fingers slightly, watching the little guy's fingers holding him shaking together, the corners of her eyes curled up.
The king of beasts is really powerful. Shu Xia once saw a white tiger in a wild animal park, with fangs and sharp claws, and even ran with their cars without losing. It's a pity that he can only look at it, not touch it. You can't touch the big ones, let alone such a small tiger.
Compared with kittens, which girls like pets, Shu Xia naturally prefers fierce tigers. If she can suck tigers, it must be many times more exciting than sucking cats.
"When you grow up, you must be very majestic," Shu Xia smiled and retracted her hand. Although she liked it very much and was very reluctant to part with it, her brother was still beside her. He was a beastman, not a real pet.
"I am more majestic than him," Shanglu said in a deep voice looking at his smile.
"What?" Shu Xia looked at him in confusion.
Shang Lu casually scratched the stupid hair on his younger brother's head and said, "I am also a white tiger, more majestic than him."
Shu Xia blinked and looked at the tall man in front of her, then looked down at the little white tiger who was pressed into her pocket, and asked in a daze, "Are you an orc too?"
Shang Lu saw his surprise, nodded and said, "It's not surprising that you can't see it, only orcs have mutual feelings."
"Oh," Shu Xia nodded, feeling that the world is amazing. He has been with Shanglu for so long, but he didn't realize that he is still a beastman.
The younger brother is a little white tiger, and the older brother is a big white tiger. The younger brother's meat pads are relatively small, but if it is a big white tiger, the meat pads must be very easy to touch, soft, and full of fur. Pounce on it...don't worry!
Shu Xia quickly fanned away the thoughts in her mind, smiled at Shanglu's gaze and said, "You called me just now, what else is there?"
Shang Lu has a lot of things he wants to say to him, but the words are not as smooth as he thought, "Do you want to go skiing? This weekend..."
"Skiing?" Shu Xia subconsciously wrapped her coat tightly. He is not weak, but he is naturally afraid of the cold. Especially in winter, he can't wait to wrap himself into a ball with three layers inside and outside. The place is very cold when you hear it.
Rather than going to that place, he would rather try new dishes in his heated home.
"Yes, don't you want to go?" Shang Lu asked looking at his expression.
"No," Shu Xia declined with a smile. "This winter vacation is very short. I made an appointment with my grandma to see her, so I'm sorry."
"When are you leaving?" Shang Lu felt a little regretful in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
"Tomorrow," Shu Xia replied, "I've already bought a ticket for tomorrow, sorry."
"It's okay, be careful on the road," Shanglu stuffed the prepared ticket deeper into his pocket.
"Okay." Shu Xia looked at Baba again at his little tiger, smiled and waved, "Goodbye little guy."
The little white tiger tilted his head in confusion, stared blankly at him with the dumb hair on his head, and made an unknown sound of wow wow.
"If you like him, you can visit him often," Shanglu suggested, seeing the liking in his eyes.
"Is it okay?" Shu Xia's eyes light up slightly, big orcs can't just masturbate, but small ones can.
"Of course," Shang Lu nodded hastily.
"Great," Shu Xia rolled her eyes, "How old is he, can he eat? I'll bring something delicious next time."
He is also very good at baby food supplements.
Shang Lu heard him say it was delicious, subconsciously recalled the food he ate last time, and replied, "It's been more than three months."
"Huh?" Shu Xia looked at the little tiger, and twitched the corners of her mouth. If it was more than three months old, it would be too big for a baby. You actually put him in your pocket and carried him with you. He thought he was at least one year old... "You How long have you been carrying him like this?"
"From the time of the full moon," Shanglu replied without any guilt.
Shu Xia tried hard to remind, "...Aren't you afraid of catching a cold like this?"
Shang Lu pushed the little guy into his pocket again and said, "The orcs are very strong."
Shu Xia "Oh..."
This straight man's way of raising children.
Since it has been taken for so long, and Shanglu himself is a doctor, Shu Xia felt that he could not say anything, so he left.
The third year of high school started earlier than her juniors, but her vacation was later than others. After leaving the hospital gate, Shu Xia shrank her neck subconsciously into her scarf, looked at the withered and yellow leaves that the winter wind occasionally rolled up, and let out a long breath. In one breath, white water mist appeared in front of his eyes, the weather was really cold to the bone.
The whole vacation is only half a month. It seems that the end of the new year is coming soon. When he got on the bus, the hanging TV on it was showing the news of the upcoming New Year. His eyes were full of red for this bleak winter. Dyed with a lively color.
Shu Xia braced her cheeks and followed the shaking of the car, thinking about what to eat for the New Year's Eve dinner. In his previous life, he didn't go to grandma's place many times. What impressed him most about the kitchen was the big pot that could cook a lot of soup and the one push The one-pull blowing bellows, the memory is very vague, but the soup cooked on the stove has a special fragrance and a lingering aftertaste.
It's a pity that my grandma's house is in the mountains, unlike the city with air conditioning and heating. He thought it was too cold in winter, like an ice cellar, so he didn't like to go there. Now that he thinks about it, he feels very nostalgic.
Even though it was very cold at that time, the kang in my grandmother's house was kept warm every day, and I would not feel cold after sleeping all night.
Listening to the sound of the wind blowing the leaves at night, lying in the warm quilt should actually be very happy. Shu Xia thought about what was about to happen, and took a breath towards the window, a small white thing flashed across his eyes , he looked carefully, only to find pieces of white falling from the sky.
"It's snowing," a passenger said in surprise, and also leaned over the window to watch.
Shu Xia smiled when she saw the snow, auspicious snow heralds a good year, such a big snowflake might be a heavy snow.
When Shu Xia returned home, the snow had already fallen heavily. Looking up, there was a vast expanse of whiteness all around, and the ground was covered with a shallow layer. Occasionally, black footprints would be left as pedestrians walked, but they were very Covering it quickly, Shu Xia breathed a sigh of relief into the palm of his hand, and walked towards the house.
Today, Bai Rou takes a break, he promised his mother to accompany her to buy new year's goods today, and he doesn't know if she has packed it.
Shu Xia returned home and flicked off the snow from her body, only to find that her mother was still nestling on the sofa watching TV, without even a trace of tidying up. "Aren't you going out today?"
Bai Rou curled up on the sofa, with a thin blanket covering her legs, seeing him coming in with snow on her hair, she asked, "It's snowing here too, it's quite big, please close the door, it's so cold. "
"Also?" Shu Xia entered the warm room, took a deep breath, and expelled the cold air all over her body, "It's snowing everywhere."
"It's your grandma's place," Bairou Guazi coughed loudly, "Your grandma called today and said that the mountain roads were blocked by heavy snow, so let's not go there this year, and wait until you finish the exam next year."
"Ah? Why is this?" Shu Xia was a little disappointed. The big stove and heating kang he had imagined were gone, and the wind blowing the leaves made it even more delusional.
"Look at you like that, I'm quite disappointed." Bai Rou glanced at him sideways, threw him a peanut and said, "Okay, let's concentrate on studying this year. I'm supposed to be on duty this year, so I won't be free to see you off." In the past, let you go alone, I am afraid that you will lose yourself."
"Are you on duty this year? Then I'm 31 at home?" Shu Xia felt uncomfortable thinking about the feeling.
Bai Rou didn't think it mattered, "Didn't I take a rest for the New Year a few years ago? Those little nurses' homes were far away. It's okay to go home and have a look during the New Year this year. Why? Are you afraid of being lonely during the New Year? Then go to Wang Zhi's house for a while Let's eat."
"I'm not going, he's going to his grandparents' house, there are a lot of relatives and friends," Shu Xia changed his shoes and sat down on the sofa, and said with a smile, "And you're not at home, I'm happy and relaxed by myself."
"Stinky boy," Bai Rou scolded him with a smile, "That's fine, I'll only be on duty for one night, and I'll be home on the first morning of the Chinese New Year."
"Yes," Shu Xia nodded with a smile.
In fact, it's nothing to spend alone at the age of 31, but inexplicably, Shu Xia thought of Lin Xian. He took his sister out to make a living, and he didn't know how to spend the New Year?If they don't go home during the Chinese New Year, maybe he can go over and find a partner, so that he won't be really alone.
The New Year's Eve came very fast, Shu Xia just went out with Bai Rou to buy all the necessities for the New Year, made up a few classes, cleaned the inside and outside of the house, and pasted couplets, it seemed that the New Year's Eve was coming.
Although he was free these few days, he still declined Shanglu's invitation to go skiing. After all, things like skiing sounded too cold.
Thirty past noon, Bai Mu went out to be on duty. There are not many people in the hospital under the new year, but someone needs to be watching. When, must receive.
Listening to the sound of firecrackers outside, Shu Xia called Lin Xian, "Hey, Lin Xian, how are you going to spend your New Year's Eve?"
……
The Spring Festival Gala was playing on the TV as usual, Shu Xia was there rolling out dumpling wrappers with noodles, and the phone was placed beside it, with happy new year messages popping up one after another, the shaking desktop was buzzing.
Lin Mang is here to help, the little girl seems to have grown a little taller, wearing an orange turtleneck sweater, she looks warm and cozy, she rolled up her sleeves and slowly wrapped the dumplings, "Brother Shu Xia, I can't make dumplings well Never mind."
"It's okay, as long as you squeeze it tightly so that the skin doesn't break," Shu Xia looked at the dumplings she made, and pointed to the one in her hand to teach her how to squeeze it tightly.
The little girl also learned very quickly, every time she squeezed one, it was better than the last one. She put down the dumpling in her hand, sniffed her nose, rubbed her fingertips lightly on the tip of her nose, but didn't pay attention to the dumpling on her hand. The flour directly stained it white there.
Shu Xia smiled and found a towel to wipe her off, "There's flour on your hands, don't touch it, or you'll turn into a painted cat."
"Well," Lin Mang smiled at him.
Cozy and warm, Lin Xian sat on the sofa and watched this scene, seemingly pressing his phone, but his fingers did not move for a long time, the young man's smile seemed to be warm, not hot, but directly warming his heart.
In his impression, Chinese New Year is not a particularly joyful thing. In his distant memory, his family’s New Year’s is different from other people’s homes. It is always full of coldness and the smell of tobacco and alcohol. Busy, the Chinese New Year is basically spent in entertainment, and once in a while with Lin Mang, it's just cooking some quick-frozen dumplings.
It's not that he didn't think that during the Chinese New Year, a gentle person would prepare him a New Year's Eve dinner. He would knead the dough, roll out the skin, adjust the stuffing, and then wrap round dumplings like those shown on TV. , It's just that I used to think that those were all delusions.
And the scene in front of him was like a dream in a cold night many years ago. Although the gender was wrong, this kind of warmth pierced a person's heart and lungs forcefully, pouring warmth into it, making it impossible for people to ignore it.
Shu Xia, Shu Xia, Shu Xia, just saying this name makes people feel warm.
"Brother, don't play with your phone, come here and help," Lin Mang stared at him with dissatisfaction, "Brother Shu Xia has done all the work by himself, you just wait to eat."
"As for my handicap, you're sure it wasn't a disservice to me in the past," Lin Xian stood up from the sofa, put down his phone to wash his hands, then rolled up his sleeves and walked over, picked up a dumpling wrapper, "How to make it?"
"This way," Shu Xia finished rolling out the dough, picked up a piece of dumpling wrapper, scooped up the filling and put it on, pinching it deftly with her slender fingers, watched as the excess filling was wrapped in and turned into a big dumpling dumpling wrapper. The dumpling with a full stomach was firmly placed on the chopping board by him.
"Wow, Brother Shu Xia is really amazing." Lin Mang looked at the dumpling, compared it with his own, and said in frustration, "I thought I made a good dumpling, but after this comparison, I finally know what kind of cloud and mud our teacher taught. Don't make any sense."
"It's not that exaggerated," Shu Xia smiled, "The difference between cloud and mud is still useful."
"Anyway, it means that the buns are very good." Lin Mang said enthusiastically, "Brother Shu Xia, would you use this to make small buns?"
"Yes," Shu Xia nodded.
"Pack one, pack one," Lin Mang clasped his hands together and begged.
Shu Xia picked up the dumpling wrapper again, her fingers fluttered, and a cute little bun fell in front of Lin Mang, and then another cute little steamed bun, triangular one, crescent moon one, Shu Xia even pinched it ingeniously. A few steamed dumplings in the shape of butterflies came out.
Seeing how Lin Mang was holding it carefully, Shu Xia felt that this skill was not in vain.
"Brother Shu Xia is amazing," Lin Mang said with admiration, "You are so skillful."
"It's very simple, if you want to learn, I'll teach you," Shu Xia said with a smile.
Lin Mang learned a lesson from him enthusiastically, looked at her own appearance, smiled awkwardly, and put it in a pile of dumplings, "I'll make the ugly ones for my brother to eat," she looked at Lin Xian and said, "Hey, Brother, where did you pack it? Show me."
"No," Lin Xian thought of the torn skin he pinched before, and he couldn't mend it well, so he wrapped another layer of dumpling with skin on it, and secretly squeezed it in his hands, intending to destroy the corpse in a short while.
"Stingy," Lin Mang wrinkled his nose at him.
Shu Xia did see it, but she didn't point it out. Occasionally, the boss wants to save some face for the employees.
The dumplings were put into the pot, served one after another, with the prepared garlic water, listening to the music constantly playing on the TV, several people ate with gusto, even Shu Xia felt a little full when she stopped .
It's easy to doze off after eating, and it's called keeping the year old. In fact, during the New Year, people tend to be sleepy. When Shu Xia and Lin Xian finished cleaning up the dishes, Lin Mang began to nod while watching the Spring Festival Gala.
"Then let's go back first." Lin Xian held his coat and was about to wake Lin Mang to leave, but was stopped by Shu Xia.
"It's dark and the road is slippery, why don't you stay tonight," Shu Xia looked at Lin Mang who was dozing off and said, "And go out with sleepiness, I'm prone to catch a cold, just as my mother is not here tonight, let your sister sleep with me In Mom's room, can you sleep with me?"
"I'll sleep with you?" Lin Xian paused while holding the coat, and turned his head away. When he spoke, his voice was a little hoarse, "Are you sure?"
"What? Are you afraid that my bed will be crowded? I sleep well, and I won't roll around," Shu Xia looked at his expression, and suddenly smiled, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."
But I was afraid of what I would do to you, Lin Xian rubbed his fingers, finally gave up this very tempting invitation and said, "I'd better sleep on the sofa, your sofa is quite big."
"Are you really worried?" Shu Xia raised her eyebrows and said, "Okay, if you insist, I'll get you a thicker quilt at night."
"It's not that I'm worried, it's that I don't sleep well, and I'm afraid I'll kick you out of bed." Hearing what he said, Lin Xian couldn't tell what he was feeling for a while, regret?A little bit, but more of a sigh of relief.
Considering his current situation, not only can it not bring him any happiness, but it may also bring hidden dangers. Before he has completely turned over, he really shouldn't bother him too much. Now he is not qualified to and the ability to embrace him.
Having already decided to sleep here, Lin Xian hugged Lin Mang to rest inside, but when he closed the door and came out, he saw Shu Xia hanging up the phone.
Shang Lu's call came as expected, Shu Xia originally planned to call a few acquaintances to say hello after the New Year's Eve dinner, but unexpectedly, Shang Lu called him first.
"Xia Xia, Happy New Year," Shang Lu's steady voice came from the phone, unlike the countless firecrackers on his side, the sky was full of fireworks, and it was really quiet over there.
"Shanglu, Happy Chinese New Year," Shu Xia said with a smile, "Have you had the New Year's Eve dinner yet?"
"I've eaten," Shang Lu continued, "Auntie's dishes are eaten by the whole family. How about you? What did you eat?"
"It's nothing special, just dumplings," Shu Xia said looking at the fireworks in the distance.
"Did you make it yourself? It must be delicious," Shanglu said. "My family's New Year's Eve dinner tastes the same every year. It must not be as delicious as yours."
"It's true," Shu Xia said with a smile, "For the sake of your praise, I'll make it for you next time I have a chance."
"Okay, it's a deal," Shang Lu thought about the young man's smile, and said with some regret, "It's a pity that you didn't go to grandma's house, and you couldn't take you skiing together. Do you want to go together after the New Year..."
"Shanglu," Shu Xia stopped him.
"What?" Shang Lu stopped talking.
Shu Xia was discouraged, "Actually, I don't like skiing... I, I'm afraid of the cold. If you invite me to soak in the hot spring, I'll pack up and go right away."
"Then I invite you to take a hot spring, which day is convenient for you?" Shang Lu immediately invited, and at the same time was about to contact the hot spring club, he remembered that there seemed to be a natural hot spring in Nanshan.
He pressed his fingers on the phone, but his thoughts began to fly. If he took a hot spring, he would take off his clothes. Then he had to book a private room, not in the open air, and Xia Xia took off his clothes... Shang Lu swallowed, feeling the air outside A little hot.
"You don't really intend to invite me to take a hot spring, do you?" Shu Xia twitched her lips. "I'm just kidding. School will start soon after the Chinese New Year. I really don't have time to play."
"Oh, that's it," Shanglu felt his blood cool down, "Then you should study hard and play again when you have time."
"Okay, thank you, Shanglu," Shu Xia faintly felt the disappointment in Shanglu's tone, and said with a smile, "Well, after the new year, I'll treat you to dinner after I'm done with work."
"Xia Xia," Shang Lu's heart warmed, and he said in a deep voice, "No, your own affairs are more important. Can we make an appointment when you are free?"
"Okay," Shu Xia smiled, "Happy New Year then, goodbye."
"Goodbye," Shanglu waited for him to hang up, looked at the name on the screen, and let out a breath of white air.
There was a voice from behind, Liu Zijun stood beside him, squinting and smiling, "You're on the phone with the kid again? It's been so long since you didn't get it, the tricks taught by your father don't work?"
"Very useful," Phytophthora said, looking at the withered branches and leaves in the courtyard, "He is very tired now, I don't want to use this to distract him."
"You always have your own ideas," Liu Zijun gathered his coat and said, "But I also want to tell you that love is like a battlefield, and in a relationship, you must be ruthless when you should be ruthless, otherwise you will lose, and the one who will suffer in the end is you."
"I'd rather be the one who suffers." Shanglu fastened the top button for her and said, "Go back, it's cold outside."
"Really, don't listen to the old man's words," Liu Zijun was stunned for a moment, shook his head with a smile, and went back to the house with him.
Really, this guy completely followed Shang Hao's. He treats you all the way, so you can't refuse him at all.
However, that's fine too.
Shu Xia made a few more phone calls, and when she turned around, she found Lin Xian sitting quietly in the living room. The Spring Festival Gala was still on TV, and he seemed to be watching it.
"Aren't you sleeping yet?" Shu Xia asked.
Lin Xian lowered the volume of the TV and asked, "Were you greeting a friend just now?"
Shu Xia nodded, "Yes, some good friends, I have to call and ask."
"Well," Lin Xian continued to watch the TV, as if he was just asking a question casually.
Shu Xia didn't care about him deliberately, went into the kitchen and cooked a pot of dumplings again, put them in the insulated box, then packed them in a bag, put on her shoes, took her coat and planned to go out.
"Where are you going so late? Where are you going?" Lin Xian turned to look at him and stood up, "Do you want me to take you there?"
"My mother is on night shift, so I'll bring her some supper there, just one stop, very close, and I can go there by myself," Shu Xia opened the door and explained.
"Let me go with you." Lin Xian hurriedly put on his shoes, took his coat, and closed the door behind him. "I don't worry about you being alone."
"Don't worry? I'm afraid I'll be robbed," Shu Xia wanted to show him the muscles on his arms, but found that the clothes were too thick, and the muscles couldn't be shown, so he could only be discouraged and said, "Leave Lin Mang alone." It's not good at home."
"You lock the door, that girl fell asleep like a pig, you can't wake her up with thunder in her ear, don't worry," Lin Xian smeared his sister behind his back, without any conscience of his own brother.
"Okay," Shu Xia thought that the place is not far away, so there is no problem going there and returning quickly, so she did as he said.
On the night of New Year's Eve, the road was not as lively as usual, it was very deserted, only the fireworks in the distance kept blooming, bringing some laughter from the community, the two of them walked side by side for a while, and arrived at the hospital.
Shu Xia doesn't come here many times, but there are quite a few people who know him. The nurse at the door dozed off in the heating. He was relieved when he heard the door ring and saw Shu Xia, "Shu Xia, I'm here to see you. Mom? Nurse Bai The boss went to make rounds and will be back later, do you want to wait a while?"
"No need, I'm just here to bring her some supper." Shu Xia put the big insulated box on the counter and said, "Miss Bian, please pass it on to me."
"Okay, let's put it here, I'll give it to her when she comes back later," the nurse on duty said with a smile, "Head nurse Bai is really blessed, what did you make delicious for your mother?"
"Dumplings, I brought some more. If Miss Bian doesn't mind, you can try it," Shu Xia said with a smile. I sent warmth.
"Okay, then I won't be polite," the nurse on duty smiled sincerely, and said goodbye to him.
Shu Xia went out, and Lin Xian was lighting a cigarette under the steps. The white smoke turned into smoke rings one after another under the light, and the half-smoked cigarette was caught between the slender fingers. When the light is on, it brings a sense of leisure.
It's rare for Shu Xia to see people smoking so nicely. It's not the crazy smoking method of addiction, but puffing clouds like a temporary relief.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Lin Xian glanced over, squatted down and pressed out the cigarette butt in his hand, then threw it into the trash can beside him, exhaled the last breath of white mist and said, "It came out so soon."
"Well, my mother is not here, so I left it to the person on duty." Shu Xia walked back with him, raised her head and asked, "Why didn't you go in just now?"
"I have to explain for a long time after I go in. It's troublesome." Lin Xian shook his collar to disperse the smell of cigarettes on his body, and yawned, "The main reason is that I'm sleepy, so I need to cherish the time and sleep well."
He just didn't want to meet the most important woman to Shu Xia in this state.
Lin Xian is tall, with long legs, he distanced himself from Shu Xia in a few steps, and Shu Xia could only pouted and followed quickly.
That night, Shu Xia slept well. Even though there were firecrackers outside from time to time, he had no dreams. When he woke up, he looked at the ceiling and was still a bit confused, but outside, there was already the sound of chopping vegetables.
Shu Xia turned over, missed the comfort and warmth of the quilt for a while, then pulled her hair and walked out with slippers on. There was no trace of sleeping on the sofa in the living room, and the quilt was neatly folded. Shu Xia noticed When I went to my mother's bedroom, Lin Mang was gone.
In the kitchen, Bai Rou was cooking porridge and rice. When she saw him, she smiled softly, "Get up, go wash your face."
"Yeah," Shu Xia hummed softly, went into the bathroom and said, "Mom, weren't you tired after working the night shift last night?"
Bai Rou looked at the soup in the pot and said, "I'm not tired. I slept with Xiao Bian last night. For the sake of the dumplings you sent, I was allowed to sleep a little longer."
"Did she still boast to you that your son is very filial?" Shu Xia spat out the mouthwash, wiped her face, and leaned against the kitchen door frame to tease her.
"Yes, yes," Bai Rou said with a smile on her face, "She said she was envious to death, and she will have a son in the future."
"Haha," Shu Xia laughed.
"Hey, by the way, who came to our house last night," Bai Rou asked casually.
"Last time I asked the friend who wrote the contract." Shu Xia had nothing to hide. "He brought his sister here to celebrate the New Year, so I asked him to come over for a meal and rest for the night."
"Oh, so," Bai Rou muttered, "I said why there is a quilt on the sofa, but your friend left so early, I didn't bump into the one who came back at seven in the morning."
"He might have the habit of getting up early," Shu Xia froze for a moment, then said perfunctorily, then walked to the edge of the sofa, picked up the quilt and tidied it up.
Left before seven o'clock?You're leaving in such a hurry, is there something urgent?But why did he take Lin Mang away with him in an emergency?Shu Xia somehow felt that Lin Xian seemed to be hiding from something.
"It's an illusion," Shu Xia shrugged and closed the closet door.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the third year of high school started again, and the gossip of the students was replaced with a new one. One of the gossips was Wang Zhi's awakening of the orc.
Awakening is a good thing. Although some people speak a bit sourly, more people are envious.
"People say that the awakening of the orcs will improve their physique. I didn't believe it before. After meeting Wang Zhi, I realized that it's true. I'll go."
"I can't believe it, I'm so envious..."
"I want to wake up too!"
Shu Xia listened to a few casually, but didn't take it seriously until he saw Wang Zhi again.
The handsome guy in front of him with thick eyebrows, big eyes, good looks, tall, smooth muscles, and a sunny smile told him that his name was Wang Zhi.
"Brother, I haven't seen you for a few days, where did you go for plastic surgery?" Shu Xia grinned.
"Which plastic surgery shop can make my face so handsome?" Wang Zhi touched his chin, put his arm around Shu Xia's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Do you think you are so handsome and shocked?"
Shu Xia nodded, she was more than shocked, she was almost blown away, awakening an orc, and it still has the effect of body plastic surgery, can this be described as shock?
Wang Zhi bowed his head and laughed, "Actually, when I first changed back, I was also very shocked. It turns out that my buddy lost weight, and I was actually such a handsome man. Why didn't I wake up earlier? People always say that fat people are Potential stocks, it turned out not to be a scam.”
Shu Xia's mood was very complicated, and she didn't know how to answer his words for a moment.
Let's not talk about the sudden change of the buddy's animal shape. After a few days, it seems that he has changed his body suddenly. Shu Xia feels that he has to slow down and calm down.
It's a pity that Wang Zhi didn't feel it, he felt that he was in a great mood, and he was confident, "My buddy is so handsome, I have decided, I want to pursue my goddess."
"Come on, I'll cheer you up," Shu Xia sighed, feeling that it would take a little longer to calm down.
Is there really no problem with the big black bear and the white fox?
Mixed feelings.
Facts have proved that there is really no problem. When everyone saw Wang Zhi chasing Ning Ya, they just said that he was another one who fell under the skirt of the school flower pomegranate, but no one said that the black bear and the white fox were reproductively isolated or something.
Of course, Wang Zhi was not too blatant. After all, when he was still in the third year of high school, the concentration of the teachers' eyes was comparable to that of a microscope. However, because of the convenient terrain, Shu Xia became his mouthpiece. When Ning Ya was, the expression on Ning Ya's face could be called surprise.
Shu Xia didn't want to cause misunderstandings, and subconsciously explained, "This is a love letter from Wang Zhi to you. You should have seen the one who often comes to our class to look for me."
"Oh, so," Ning Ya seemed to be thinking for a while, but she still took the love letter and stuffed it into her schoolbag. As for whether she read it later, it was out of Shu Xia's consideration. After all, he didn't know whether he had seen it or not. There are so many brothers who have lost their halberds here in the school, but there are really not many Wang Zhi.
"I'm very disappointed," Wang Zhi picked up the food in distaste, and specially picked shredded meat and eggs to deliver to his mouth. "The school belle doesn't know me at all, my goddess..."
Shu Xia ate quietly, heard him complain, and asked, "How come I don't know you?"
Wang Zhi raised his head, with a look of grief and indignation, "Just this morning, when I was looking for you, I greeted the school belle..."
He stopped talking halfway through, and Shu Xia heard half of it, and asked doubtfully, "And then."
"Then," Wang Zhi covered his face, "then she froze for a moment, nodded with me and passed."
"That's not normal," Shu Xia picked a piece of fat from the dish, and put it directly on his plate.
Wang Zhi didn't dislike it either, he picked it up and ate it, babbling, "It's not normal, then the words who are you are written on your face."
"Cough," Shu Xia almost couldn't hold back her laughter, coughed lightly and finally suppressed it, "Isn't that not in the same class, you want to be in the same class, see you every day, then you'll know each other."
"It's easy for you to say, you occupy the first place in the grade, and there are countless people bowing their heads behind you, so don't panic at all, let me," Wang Zhi sighed, "Awakening an orc, I don't see how smart it is."
"Didn't you improve by more than 100?" Shu Xia propped her chin and said, "It's not like I said, with Ning Ya's grades, as long as she doesn't perform abnormally and enters a university like University A, you will be considered to catch up with her. You don't plan to share a school together, don't you want to hold hands with her and eat on campus? Don't you want to be with her every day?"
"Think..." Wang Zhi's eyes began to light up when he heard his words.
Seeing him taking the bait, Shu Xia raised her eyebrows and said, "Then start today, wake up early with me every day, and go to make up lessons with me on weekends."
"Ah?" Wang Zhi wanted to repent.
Shu Xia tapped his plate to remind him "Goddess Goddess..."
"Understood..." Wang Zhi began to pick up the rice with a depressed face.
Studying and studying, when studying alone, the motivation is insufficient, and it will be much better if two people study together. This is why everyone likes to get together to do homework and is efficient.
And Wang Zhi also started the most nightmare period of his study career in his life.
It's just that the effect is really remarkable. Wang Zhi is indeed not the kind of person who stuffs his head with cotton and doesn't know anything about it. In the process of explaining to him, Shu Xia also uses the knowledge in his mind more flexibly and firmly.
I don’t know when the countdown on the blackboard was written, and people are constantly updating it every day, as if the whole classroom is dyed with a layer of anxiety, and Wang Zhi, who finally entered the rocket class and plans to see the goddess, every day I can only raise my head and aim at the two-eyed goddess to increase my motivation, and the rest of the time I just keep scrolling through the question bank.
He knew that he was no smarter than Shu Xia, and he finally had the opportunity to learn well, so of course he had to grasp it.
In this anxious atmosphere, the countdown finally reached the last day.
The last day was the day to move things and tidy up. After a year of hard work, on the last day, Shu Xia emptied her mind and stopped looking at those textbook exercises. The teacher on the podium arranged the examination room, and her tone was unconcealedly relaxed .
After such a hard year, not only the students are tired, but the teachers are also exhausted, and their minds are tense.
Fortunately, Shu Xia's exam was held in this school, so he didn't have to go back and forth like other students, but Wang Zhi was assigned to another school, but his father was happy, and specially closed the shop to accompany him to the exam for two days, The car pick-up and delivery is not too much trouble.
"Come on," Shu Xia encouraged him.
Wang Zhi tapped his shoulder lightly, "Together."
During the two-day exam, Shu Xia originally thought that he would be very nervous, but in fact, he was so engrossed that even he was surprised, but after two days, he still felt exhausted.
The students who finished the exam were tearing up the books frantically from top to bottom, the paper falling denser than snowflakes, but Shu Xia silently packed her notes in a cardboard box, a set of her own notes, and a set of notes from Shanglu. , arranged neatly together, and were carried into the rear compartment by Uncle Wang.
"Look at Xia Xia's books, how neat they are," Uncle Wang was there and Wang Zhi babbled, "Look at yours, it looks like a dog has chewed on it."
Wang Zhi looked aggrieved. He wanted to say that he planned to tear up the book. If Shu Xia hadn't left it behind, he would have lost sight of the one he had thrown away. It's a pity that he couldn't see the book he had thrown away. up.
Shu Xia chuckled, sat in the car, looked at the school gate gradually going away, and said softly in her heart, "Goodbye."
