Chapter 1: The beginning of romance 03
The group of people each received a stack of books from the office. Xu Xiaxia was in a hurry to go back to the classroom to make arrangements, so she hurriedly took the books and left. Yu Qianlin sent Zuo Rang away and walked to the front of the book room alone: "Apologize."
"What?" Wen Shu thought he had heard it wrong.
"You sent me to the police station that day and caused me to be beaten by my grandfather. Shouldn't you apologize?" Yu Qianlin stopped and blocked Wen Shu's way.
Wen Shu had no choice but to put the book on the floor of the corridor. He stretched his sore arms and said, "What does this have to do with me? Do you think I wrongly accused you of fighting or of breaking my phone?"
The girl's clear voice, speaking mercilessly, hit Yu Qianlin on the head, choking him to death. He didn't expect that Wen Shu's words would be so lethal, and he hurriedly explained: "It's all a misunderstanding!"
"Does it have anything to do with me?" Wen Shu picked up the book on the ground again and was about to leave, but was stopped by Yu Qianlin.
"Wait a minute, give me some of your books."
Wen Shu was speechless, but still gave him a small part of the book.
Don’t be an idiot if you are a coolie picked up for free .
Yu Qianlin followed Wen Shu, still unwilling to give up: "Let's put it this way. I'll help you move the books, and you have to apologize."
Wen Shu sneered: "This classmate, is it appropriate to hang out before you're weaned?"
"Who are you saying hasn't been weaned?"
"Whoever promised to speak."
"You...just wait for me, I will prove it to you!" Yu Qianlin flushed as he squeezed out a word that had no deterrent effect. He quickly walked past the review paper and hurried into the classroom.
Wen Shu sneered. It seemed that either she was not weaned or her brain was...sick.
After school, Wen Shu sat in his seat and pressed his nose, trying to relieve the soreness in his eyes.
She looked at her classmates who were still discussing problems in groups of three or four, and suddenly felt powerless.
Maybe she didn't have to struggle? Maybe she should just accept her fate?
"Wenshu, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Xu Xia Xia asked with concern, interrupting Wen Shu's thoughts.
Wen Shu shook his head, indicating that it was okay, and stood up to pack his schoolbag and prepare to go home, but unexpectedly Xu Xia Xia grabbed her arm. She froze, as no one had ever done this before.
Xu Xia Xia didn't notice anything unusual, but said happily: "See you tomorrow !"
Wen Shu untied his arm from Xu Xia Xia's palm without leaving a trace, nodded at her, and did not stay any longer.
As soon as Wen Shu walked out of the classroom, Yu Qianlin walked in.
His class teacher found out that he had gone to the police station during the summer vacation. He spent his last self-study class under the teacher's scolding. He finally escaped, but did not see the man reviewing his studies.
He walked up to Xu Xia Xia who was humming a song and asked casually, "Where is she?"
"Who?" Xu Xia Xia asked back.
"Your deskmate."
"Oh, Wen Shu, she just left, is there something wrong?"
"Something happened!" Before Xu Xia Xia could react, Yu Qianlin grabbed her schoolbag and ran down the campus boulevard.
How could he forget that he fought with that group of thugs just to help Xu Xia Xia?
"What are you doing!" Xu Xiaxia couldn't break free, and stumbled after Yu Qianlin, finally catching up with Wen Shu. As soon as she stopped, she bent over, supported her knees with her hands, and gasped heavily: "Yu Qianlin, what are you crazy about? You almost strangled me to death!"
Yu Qianlin was embarrassed. He forgot that girls' physical strength was different from his. But he couldn't care less now!
He walked towards Wen Shu, looking quite proud, and said with his chin raised: "I said I would prove it to you."
"So what?" Wen Shu asked back, moving away from him, helping Xu Xia Xia up, and letting her lean on his shoulder to rest.
"Her!" Yu Qianlin pointed at Xu Xia Xia, who had not yet recovered, and said in a high voice, "I did it to protect her from being molested by the little hooligans!"
"Huh." Wen Shu pulled the confused and disoriented Xu Xia Xia behind him, blocking Yu Qianlin's sight, "I think it's you who's threatening the little girl ."
"Why don't you believe it?" Yu Qianlin became impatient. He shouted to Xu Xia Xia who was hiding behind Wen Shu, "Xu Xia Xia, you come and explain!"
Xu Xiaxia shivered when she was yelled at, and finally regained consciousness and remembered what Yu Qianlin was talking about. But just as she was about to speak, she heard Wen Shu say, "Who are you yelling at!" He seemed to be angry.
"I'll say it again, I don't want to waste time with you on this issue, nor do I want to affect other people because of this trivial matter. Let's go." After saying that, she took Xu Xia Xia's hand and left, leaving Yu Qianlin alone in the place, jumping in anger.
"It's a trivial matter! You actually said it was a trivial matter! This concerns the dignity of martial artists!" The last few words were almost shouted, but unfortunately Wen Shu had already walked away. He was still going crazy on the spot with his handsome face, attracting strange looks from the people around him.
Wen Shu was walking with Xu Xia Xia when she suddenly realized something was wrong. She quickly let go of their hands and a look of unnaturalness flashed across her face: "Well, Xu Xia Xia, how are you? Are you feeling better?"
"Yeah!" Xu Xia Xia nodded hurriedly, no longer looking like a quail. She looked at Wen Shu with a gleam in her eyes, and Wen Shu felt a tingling sensation on his back, and could not help but take a few steps back.
"Xiaoshu, can I call you that?" Xu Xia Xia suddenly said.
Wen Shu's back stiffened again: "You...whatever you want."
Unlike Lu Sining's cautious voice, Xu Xia Xia's voice is sweet, and coupled with her naturally harmless face, it is almost irresistible.
"Xiaoshu, you were so handsome just now!" Xu Xiaxia held her face with admiration, "Yu Qianlin is a character who will beat anyone who stands in his way and beat anyone who stands in his way, and you actually made him speechless. I admire you so much!"
Seeing that her eyes were about to burst into stars, Wen Shu pulled the corners of his mouth with difficulty, squeezed out a dry "oh", and then said as if escaping: "It's too late, I have to go home quickly, you should go back too."
Xu Xia Xia is more difficult to deal with than she thought!
As if she had seen that Wen Shu was about to escape, Xu Xia Xia rushed over and hugged Wen Shu's arm tightly, saying shamelessly: "Let's be friends!" After saying that, she blinked her eyes, as if she would not let Wen Shu go unless he agreed.
"If you want to make friends, you can find someone else." Wen Shu looked helpless. Why did Xu Xia Xia bother her?
"No! Those girls are too pretentious, I don't like them. But you... I like you!" Xu Xia Xia stared straight at Wen Shu, and increased the strength in her hands, hugging Wen Shu tighter.
Wen Shu was impressed by her roguery and nodded slowly. Xu Xia Xia cheered and finally let Wen Shu go.
"Goodbye, Xiaoshu." Xu Xia Xia said goodbye to Wen Shu full of energy.
"Goodbye." Wen Shu was full of resentment.
Watching Xu Xiaxia walk away, Wen Shu stroked the sweat on his hands caused by Xu Xiaxia's embrace, and suddenly felt relieved. Now that it has been decided, what is there to hesitate and doubt?
After all, no matter what happened before, no matter whether she was willing or not, the world finally cast a beam of light named "Xu Xia Xia" on her.
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt enlightened and trotted back home.
The next morning, I arrived at school. As soon as I took out my textbook, I was startled by Xu Xiaxia who appeared out of nowhere : "Good morning, Xiaoshu."
Wen Shu smiled and replied "Good morning".
Xu Xia Xia covered her mouth and asked in surprise: "Xiao Shu! You ran into a handsome guy early in the morning? Are you in such a good mood?"
"So you still like me like this?" Wen Shu said with a stern face, just like before.
"Of course not, I like you the way you are now!" Xu Xia Xia denied it immediately, fearing that Wen Shu would be "beaten back to his original form" by her.
Wen Shu thought about this day's experience for a long time last night. Yu Qianlin was a paper tiger, while Xu Xiaxia was very enthusiastic, like a little sun that could easily warm people's hearts. From childhood to adulthood, Xu Xiaxia was almost the first to reveal her true feelings and say that she liked her. She wanted to cherish her and want to be friends with her.
"By the way, Xiaoshu, Yu Qianlin came to see me before you came." Xu Xia Xia sat back in her seat, supporting her head with her hands, and said to Wen Shu.
Wen Shu glanced at her and asked, "Looking for you?"
"Yes, he explained it all to me. What happened last time was indeed a misunderstanding. I was in a hurry that day and accidentally bumped into a gangster. I apologized immediately, but the gangsters wouldn't let me go and... they even wanted to tease me. Fortunately, Yu Qianlin arrived in time and saved me from danger!" After saying that, Xu Xia Xia looked scared, just like a frightened little lamb.
"Oh, I'm glad you're okay." Wen Shu listened quietly, then took out the English textbook from his schoolbag and prepared for morning reading.
But as soon as she opened the book, she was in trouble again. She knew all the letters, but when they were put together, they all became shapes she didn't recognize, which made her angry just looking at them.
"Xiaoshu..." Xu Xiaxia stammered again, "Why don't you go and apologize to Yu Qianlin?"
"No." Wen Shu tried hard to dig into his memory, trying to remember how to pronounce these hateful syllables, but he just couldn't remember.
Xu Xia Xia was frightened by her unfriendly tone, and suddenly noticed her unhappy look as she looked at the English book, and suddenly an idea came to her mind.
"How about I teach you English as compensation for your apology?"
Wen Shu finally took his eyes off the book and asked doubtfully, "Are you good at English?"
"Of course!" Xu Xia Xia puffed out her chest proudly, "My English score is in the top three in the grade, you can check it out."
Wen Shu folded his arms, looked at her, and said nothing for a long time.
Xu Xia Xia immediately said pitifully: "Xiao Shu, please, I don't want to owe anyone a favor because of this."
"That's fine!" Wen Shu couldn't argue with her, and no matter how she thought about it, she wouldn't suffer any loss. It was better to have someone to help her than to figure it out alone.
Xu Xia Xia cheered: "Okay!"
"There is one more thing," Wen Shu calmed her down and said, "Let's put things in perspective. You helped me, and I will repay you." Similarly, she didn't want to owe anyone a favor for nothing.
"no problem!"
