Chapter 29: No premature love, understand? Don't think that you can get into...

the Art Academy just because you got the first place in the exam.

Piano music, saxophone, dance steps and tapping on the ground. There were also laughter and howling, one after another.

"The joint exam results are out, how did you do?"

"Huh - A certificate, how about you?"

"We are all playing together, you got an A certificate? You! You'd better be there at the next party, otherwise you will be the target of verbal 'beating'!"

"It should be - hahaha, A certificate, A certificate! It's the bottom of a hundred colleges and universities, and the pressure of the next school exam is instantly reduced."

"Okay! We got B certificates, and we really have to fight hard for the next school exam, otherwise we won't be able to go to college, and our two years of learning will be in vain!"

Sighs and sighs, such waves of ups and downs, spread out.

The girls leaned against each other crookedly, the leader held her head high, and the few who were dejected at the back took pictures one after another.

The palm of his hand finally landed on the person in front, expressing regret for himself and congratulating his friend.

Xu Shen, standing at the door, looked around the groups of girls who were discussing their grades.

No, no, no, he had a bad feeling and turned around to look for the next one.

Shoulders rubbed against shoulders, and Xu Shen pushed a gap in the crowd. He raised his hand to apologize along the way, but his feet did not stop.

Looking through the places he often went to, Xu Shen finally found someone in a secluded storage room filled with old tables, chairs and teaching aids.

Li Su.

Li Su, wearing a light yellow down jacket, was curled up in a ball and sitting under the window.

She looked at the sunlight under her feet, one hand tucked under her belly to warm it, and the other hand was red from the cold. She was wiping left and right, crying secretly.

Xu Shen knew it. Li Su suddenly ran away, probably because she failed the joint entrance examination and was hiding her sadness.

Xu Shen glanced at the empty corridor. He felt uneasy. After slipping in, he closed the door and locked it.

Li Su raised her eyes when she heard the noise and quickly glanced at the person who came.

Seeing who it was, Li Su quickly raised her arm and wiped the tears from the places that were not wet by crying. She rubbed her red eyes and tried to hold back the tears.

Pulling her sleeves to cover up and touching the wet places, Li Su's flushed face showed a trace of embarrassment.

Uh... it seems a little... dirty.

Remember to bring paper next time!

Li Su buried her head and saw the shadow approaching slowly with light steps.

Berry pink AJ walked into Li Su's field of vision and sat down beside her.

On the bright yellow ground, shadows pressed one on top of another, very close to each other.

The tall, stretched shadow was upright and confident.

The short, round, curled up shadow was humble and weak.

Just looking at the shadow, Li Su couldn't help but feel sad and resentful. She couldn't help but move to the side and away from Xu Shen.

Unexpectedly, the shadow seemed to be stuck to her and moved closer to her. It goes without saying.

Xu Shen gently bumped her shoulder. His body spoke.

Well, my friend. You delivered it yourself!

Li Su let out a long sigh.

The next moment, her two curved eyebrows twisted into a knot, Li Su lowered her knees that had been supported for a long time, and the whole person leaned to Xu Shen's side.

Li Su looked at Xu Shen, with an indescribable depression on her face. She vented: "B certificate, 637th in the whole province. There are only more than a thousand candidates in total. I only scored this low? Am I that bad?"

As soon as the words came out, Li Su's eyes began to heat up again. She sniffed and tried to pretend that the two lines of tears that just fell didn't exist.

She felt a little embarrassed. She had some doubts and couldn't understand: Why are people who fail embarrassed to even cry?

Li Su cried, crying like a pear blossom in the rain.

There were bloodshot eyes, and her eyes were swollen like walnuts. Her originally obvious double eyelids had become European-style big double eyelids after crying, but her eyes were still as stubborn as ever, as if she was gathering strength and ready to go.

Just like a mountain climber, looking up at the peak, waiting for the starting gun to sound at any time.

Xu Shen paused for a few seconds, took out packs of paper from his pocket, piled them into a thick stack and handed them to her.

Tears like drizzle gathered on the chin and accumulated into a pearl.

The cold wind formed scabs on the tear marks, stuck on the face, dry.

It hurts so much.

Li Su couldn't bear it, so she could only pout and glance at him.

"Hmph!" Li Su snorted heavily without gratitude, stretched out her hand, and took a pack with a bad temper. She opened it, took out a piece of paper and wiped her face.

The scent of jasmine lingered on the tip of Li Su's blocked nose, and her mouth "tasted" it.

Li Su crumpled the used paper into a ball and held it in her hand. Seeing that Xu Shen was still silent, she couldn't help but move closer and suspiciously examined the details in his expression.

"Why don't you say anything? You're not laughing at me in your heart, are you? You don't think that a girl like me with average grades should be used to failure, right? You don't think..."

"No." Xu Shen interrupted Li Su, his eyes were not fake at all.

He reached out, took the paper ball from Li Su's hand, and stuffed it back into his pocket. He acted calmly without a trace of disgust.

"Li Su, I think you are good, better than everyone in the world combined. I never doubt that you can beat anyone you want to surpass. In my heart, you are invincible." "

..." Too sudden.

Just now, he couldn't get a fart out of his three sticks, but now he can't count the words on his two hands.

It can be seen that when people are pushed into a corner, they also have unlimited potential.

Li Su blinked blankly, her lips moved, and then moved again. She said: "You...how come you are the same as my dad..."

"..." Xu Shen's eyes were salty, with a taste of denial.

Li Su took a look, and couldn't help but avoid it. She scratched her face shyly and muttered softly: "It's a pity that only those who love me prefer me. The world only looks at my report card. Hey..."

Hmm? Hmm. Xu Shen heard it. He raised his hand to rub the tip of his nose that suddenly itched. The corners of his mouth curled up, and he smiled very obscurely. He still stared at Li Su cautiously, afraid that she would see it. Li Su tilted her body, half-holding her legs that were folded and curled up in front of her. An ant walked past her feet proudly. She stretched out her hand and insisted on blocking it. She saw it go around, and around again, again and again. Hey... "I just... am a little scared. There is a gap between my father's teachings and the secular standards. Grades are slowly becoming more and more important... Xu Shen, we seem to be growing up." Li Su's tone was depressed. She licked her dry lips and slowly moistened them until a bitter taste of medicine rose in her mouth. Li Su: "I... I really don't know what kind of life I can get for myself in the future. I... I... I really want to marry the God of Wealth, even if it's as a concubine."

"Puff——" Xu Shen couldn't help laughing.

He looked at Li Su, and Li Su also found that the feelings he suddenly expressed were a bit unpromising and a bit too explicit.

After finally calming down, her face was tinged with shame again. Li Su said embarrassedly: "I am just a common man with common wishes. Please understand."

"Well, I support your idea." Xu Shen leaned his raised knees under Li Su's eyes, hinting clearly, "How much money do you want? I will give it to you when I earn it in the future. Just remember your words."

"What words?" Li Su didn't react for a while, and chased Xu Shen with her two round eyes, her face full of dullness and stupidity, a little silly and a little cute.

Xu Shen glared at her, his thin lips slightly opened, and one word after another, like snowflakes, he said: "Willing, willing, to marry."

???

Li Su paused, and then paused again, and finally reacted.

!!!

Li Su turned her face away instantly, straightened her body that was leaning towards Xu Shen, and she hurriedly tidied up and sat upright.

"What nonsense are you talking about..." Li Su's cheeks were rosy, but her tone was weak. Seeing that Xu Shen was still sticking to her, she pushed his knees and told him: "Put your legs back."

"No!" Xu Shen refused decisively.

His eyes were firm, as if he wanted to brainwash Li Su. He stood in front of her and emphasized: "Anyway, we have to be together. Li Su, don't cry or be afraid in the future. Remember: I'll take care of everything."

"Okay, okay, you should say less..." Li Su was embarrassed and looked for cracks in the ground.

Her heart was as messy as paste, and as sweet as a honey pot. Li Su thought about it, and as if she remembered something, she raised her head and looked at Xu Shen.

"But our levels seem to be a bit different, right?" Li Su found a bug!

Xu Shen indulged her? Then there will be two more paupers in this world.

She reached Xu Shen? How high, can she reach him?

Li Su asked Xu Shen anxiously, "Have you checked your grades? How did you do in the exam?"

"First."

These two simple words instantly ignited the fire.

"What! Haven't you only studied for less than a year?!" Li Su straightened his neck and widened his eyes in disbelief.

Looking at Xu Shen's calm expression, Li Su couldn't help but hit him with a tissue, "First again? Xu Shen, I hate you!"

Hate me? Huh?

Xu Shen's eyes widened in surprise. He had never heard such a childish sentence, but Li Su said it with confidence and domineering.

"What are you looking at! It's useless to look at me!" Li Su was so angry that he used sign language. He was jealous and crazy. He couldn't help but stretched out his fist and hit him with a hammer, and declared war fiercely, "From now on, you are the enemy of our Li Family Army!"

It didn't hurt at all.

Besides, I have already asked to be the vanguard of the Li Family Army!

You are not going to expel me, are you?

Xu Shen looked at Li Su's angry face like a pufferfish. He suddenly changed the subject and pretended to be curious and asked, "Hey? How many enemies does your Li family army have?"

Xu Shen remembered that Li Su seemed to have said this to Cheng Yan, Xie Fei... and several other people who were on good terms with him recently...

Why did it feel like Li Su was surrounded by enemies?

"You! What if you weren't the first place? This question really hits the nail on the head." Li Su's face froze, and she glanced at Xu Shen again and again.

"Do you want to tell the truth?"

"You want to brag?"

"It depends on how you understand it," Li Su scratched his face, "In fact, the enemies of the Li family army are a little more than the number of Li family army."

...

"Puchi——" Xu Shen couldn't help laughing. He quickly covered his mouth. When he

looked at Li Su again, he saw that she tilted her head and her eyes became more fragile.

Broken defense! Broken defense!

I'm going to sue God!

The sensitive string was completely broken. The corners of Li Su's mouth, which she tried to lift up, collapsed in an instant.

She howled, aggrieved and unwilling.

"Xu Shen, why are you laughing again? You are so happy. You are tall and handsome, have good grades and are talented. You still have me to make you laugh! But what about me?"

"Why? Why am I the only one with average grades and average artistic attainments? Why am I so mediocre and ordinary? Why? Why? It's not fair!"

The replay was like a tape recorder, with a pure and silly air.

Li Su asked back nervously. It was clearly a questioning tone, but two lines of pearly tears came out.

Rolling down her cheeks. The morning dew slid from the petals, shaking her heart.

She looked up at him, crying, her eyes red, stubborn and annoyed.

Xu Shen raised his hand and wiped away the tears on Li Su's face with the back of his index finger.

The hot tears burned his heart, creating black holes.

He said softly, "It won't be so sad if you say it out loud. Don't keep it in your heart. Cry, Li Su, just say whatever you want to say, I'm listening."

Li Su took out a piece of paper and wiped her tears. She was sensible and took a new piece of paper to wipe Xu Shen's hands that were wiped by tears.

His palm was very big, and she half-held it, feeling inexplicably at ease.

"No way! Woo woo woo, Xu Shen, I will never complain again! As soon as I complain, I feel wronged and I want to cry. I, I, I don't want to cry, I want to laugh. Face life with a smile."

Face life with a god-level smile... Xu Shen nodded, wanting to laugh but not daring to, feeling more distressed and bitter.

Xu Shen also took a piece of paper, wiped Li Su's tears and promised, "Then I won't let you suffer in the future. If you don't suffer, you won't have anything to complain about."

"Bullshit! Don't talk about things so far away, the future is too far away." Li Su shyly avoided Xu Shen's hand and turned her head away.

She blew her nose, sat back up, and propped her elbows on her knees.

Xu Shen's eyes were burning, and Li Su had nowhere to hide. She had to cover her face with her hands, half-covering her face, like holding a lute and half-covering her face.

After a while, she slowly calmed down.

Li Su: "Do you have something to talk to me about?"

"Nothing." Xu Shen shook his head, his voice was faint, lighter than the wind, as if confessing an unspeakable secret. "Just thinking: in case you cry, I have to stay with you."

Li Su's body stiffened. It seemed that she was used to being shy and a little shameless.

She turned her head without hesitation and stared at Xu Shen.

His cold and hard outline and gentle eyes were just like what she dreamed of.

Li Su: "I didn't cry. My name is strong."

Xu Shen: "I understand. Face life with a smile."

"......." Li Su and Xu Shen looked at each other, eyes wide open.

"Puchi——" Li Su couldn't help laughing first. Her nose was rubbed red and it felt painful because of her laughter, but she was still happy.

"You still dare to tease me? I haven't told you that you are in love!" Li Su attacked Xu Shen with another punch. She put her hands on her hips and raised her chin. She said complacently, "You are nice to me, but I will also hit you!"

"Ouch." Xu Shen cooperated with a sigh.

He bent down and leaned towards Li Su quietly like rain that was blown sideways by the wind.

Li Su passively raised her hand to catch it. The corners of her mouth curled up. She looked up and saw that he was very close to her. His thick and long eyelashes seemed to prick her cheek.

It was so beautiful.

Li Su stared at Xu Shen's Adam's apple and couldn't help swallowing.

She didn't know if this was because of lust that made her lose her mind. Flowers bloomed all over her heart, and she was so brilliant. She even suddenly wanted to spoil him.

"Xu Shen, what I said just now was just angry words, don't take it to heart," Li Su couldn't help stuttering. "You, you, you...you have to learn to understand good and bad words, you know?"

What was he talking about? His mouth was shining.

Xu Shen absentmindedly said "hmm", which seemed like a response, but also like doubt.

"Oh!" After getting angry, Li Su felt a little regretful, fearing that what she said just now would hurt Xu Shen. She blushed and explained: "For example - I hate you, but actually I blame you, and I care about you!"

"Then what about me liking you?" Xu Shen almost blurted out. He wanted to ask.

"Ah?" Li Su was stunned for a moment. She

was shocked by his straightforwardness, and also afraid of his directness.

The next moment, her face was red, and she could feel the heat just by looking at it. It was like a cold and a high fever all night.

"I said-" Xu Shen's heart seemed to be lifted up and hung in the air. Xu Shen's chest rose and fell deeply, and his cheeks were pale, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness and could be easily pushed down by others.

Oh, I'm so nervous!

Stop it!

Li Su stared at Xu Shen, she clenched her fists, and yelled inexplicably, each sentence louder than the last.

"You are a high school student! How can you say such a thing? Xu Shen, I... I... You are so chilling!"

"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you got the first place in the exam. Remember: in our school, none of our students fall in love early!"

Li Su's eyes flew left and right, but she didn't dare to fall on Xu Shen.

She felt like someone was holding her heart, squeezing it a little harder, and it hurt her a little.

"I haven't had time to say anything yet..." Xu Shen lowered his eyes in shame, not looking at the happy heart. He tried, and his body moved slightly closer.

"Hey!" An arm stretched out at the right time, with a white lotus-like sight, thin and powerful, stopping his tendency to approach.

"If you continue to be so shameless, I, I will draw the 38th parallel with you..." Li Su's voice was as small as a mosquito's buzz, thin, like coquettish and angry.

You are spitting blood!

Xu Shen straightened up and turned back into the gentleman on the road.

He looked into Li Su's eyes, as obsessed as ever, as if the wind and snow could not erase it, and the mountains and seas could not overturn it. "I'm serious!"

"Lululu, I won't listen, I won't watch." Li Su covered her ears, closed her eyes, and said in a principled way: "Don't try this on me."

...

She sighed and fell into the wind that was as light as dust.

The man's voice was full of regret, and it seemed like a humble request.

"But... Teacher Li, are you really not going to teach me? If 'I like you' also has a code word, what should I say to let you know."

The wind chimes were blown to the ground, and the crisp sound of collision rang.

People, shoulder to shoulder, actually the sound of hearts colliding is also like this.

Li Su slowly opened her eyes.

She saw the lone ant again, this time turning back, carrying food on his back, with more companions beside him, and looking back with every step he took.

"Okay..." Li Su lowered her eyes, no one could see the emotions in her eyes, she seemed to be silent endlessly in time.

After a long, long time. Only then

did I hear the sound of time.

It was a girl's voice. It was a man's voice. It was——

"I'll wait for you."
