Unexpectedly, before she left, Lin He didn’t forget to give her something heavier than the watermelon.
“Your holiday homework,” Lin He hurriedly organized the homework in Lin Zhexia’s room, “take it with you and work on it when you have time, so you won’t forget today’s assignment if you play too late.”
Lin Zhexia looked at the stack of work that had been torturing her for several days.
She hesitated and said reluctantly: “That doesn’t seem right.”
“What’s wrong with it?”
“If I bring homework with me,” Lin Zhexia could already imagine how Chi Yao would mock her, “it would be embarrassing.”
Lin Zhexia tried to convince Lin He: “Think about it, it’s like bringing parents along when going out to play, it’s quite inappropriate.”
What respond to in the end?
Was Lin He’s firm and decisive “bang” as she closed the door?
For this impromptu gathering, Lin Zhexia was the first to arrive.
She lived closest to Chi Yao.
A few minutes later.
Chi Yao opened the door for her, looking like he had just woken up.
His hair was a bit messy, but messy as if deliberately tousled.
The air conditioning was set very low, and the cold air rushed out.
He lowered his eyes and glanced at what she was holding in her hands. After taking the watermelon from her, before he could speak, Lin Zhexia preemptively said: “See this stack of homework? I’m just someone who loves studying that much.”
“Even when I come out to play, I don’t forget to study.”
“…”
Chi Yao responded with an “Oh.”
“Today I’m going to do twenty pages while playing,” Lin Zhexia carried the stack of homework, trying to appear as composed as possible, “that’s my attitude toward studying.”
“That’s good.”
When Lin Zhexia heard this, she instinctively felt it wasn’t that simple.
Sure enough, Chi Yao’s next sentence was: “After all, having barely made it into No. 2 High School, you should show some attitude.”
You think.
You scored ninety points above the cutoff line.
Does that make you great?
Lin Zhexia thought through gritted teeth.
Of course, she couldn’t say these words out loud.
…
Because scoring ninety points above the cutoff was indeed very impressive.
“You’re awesome, you’re so capable,” Lin Zhexia followed him into the house, muttering to herself, “…why did you even apply to No. 2 High School?”
Everyone arrived quickly.
A total of five people came to this gathering, filling up the large sofa in the center.
Da Zhuang was the first to enter. He wasn’t sturdy; on the contrary, he was quite thin. He had monolids and looked like an energetic young man.
Everyone usually addressed each other as brothers. After Da Zhuang came in and called out “Brother Yao,” he turned and also said “Brother Xia.”
“Doing homework, Brother Xia? That’s not like you.”
“I think this pile of snacks is more your style.”
“…”
What did he mean by “like”?
This pile of snacks was what she had left behind and forgotten to take.
Lin Zhexia didn’t squeeze in with them, instead curling up in the large bean bag chair to the side with her homework spread across her lap. She raised an eyebrow: “Talking so much, do you want to share the burden for your emperor?”
With just that sentence, everyone collectively fell silent, not daring to tease her about her homework anymore.
The group huddled together and began selecting a movie.
After much deliberation, they finally chose an action film with gunfights: “This one’s good, full of passion, let’s go with this. My Brother Xia probably doesn’t have any objections either; she must be a passionate person too.”
After saying this, someone got up and turned off the lights.
The movie’s introduction began.
Lin Zhexia quickly finished the problem she was working on and looked up to see Chi Yao walking over with several cans of cold soda.
As he walked toward the living room, the blue light from the projector fell directly on him.
His eyebrows and eyes were already so strikingly attractive; now, with the cold-toned light inadvertently washing over him, his entire being exuded an unrivaled arrogance.
After Chi Yao tossed the sodas to the others, he walked to Lin Zhexia’s side.
