Chapter 66: Willfulness is a girl's nature
The school rooftop is not very windy because it is not very high.
The girl stood in front of Linzhou, pinching the corner of her clothes, looking up at the older boy who was much taller than her.
"Porridge……"
Before she uttered the second word "porridge", Jiang Xiyue's forehead was pressed down by Linzhou's big hand, and confusion and doubt appeared in the girl's eyes.
Looking at Jiang Xiyue's expression, Linzhou didn't know what to say.
As expected... the properties of steel plate and idiot are in conflict...
Jiang Xiyue is a fool anyway. After all, he knows exactly what the little girl is thinking.
Holding Jiang Xiyue's head, Lin Zhou said gently, "Don't make trouble, this is at school, and...is this what good friends should do?"
The girl's mouth instantly flattened and she took a few steps back.
"Well, I get it, but there's no one on the rooftop... and... it's just a hug... it's normal to hug and thank your good friend for taking care of you, right?"
Linzhou did not respond verbally. He looked down at Jiang Xiyue, then pressed his index finger under his thumb and flicked it hard.
"Is this how your teacher taught you to thank others?"
Jiang Xiyue, who was hit on the head, covered his head with his hands and squatted on the ground.
Today she was still wearing the same shirt and black long skirt as a few days ago, except that the ribbon at the neckline had been changed to lavender, and the shirt had an extra pocket, from which a yellow electric rat poked its head out.
Covering her head, Jiang Xiyue didn't say anything, just stared at Linzhou with wide eyes...
Her little mouth was pouted and her eyes were full of grievance.
From that day on, she didn't know why, but she just wanted to hug Linzhou. Hugging someone's waist gave her a special feeling of security.
The last time she had this feeling was when she was bullied by her classmates in elementary school and her father stood up for her.
Although her father still loves her, his demands on her are much higher than before.
For example, there are many basic etiquettes... such as bringing gifts when visiting someone, not picking up chopsticks from the chopstick cage, only picking up the food at hand, and not saying swear words...
They also require people to be both morally and professionally competent, and to learn Go, chess, and singing. The most outrageous thing is that they also require people to learn programming.
If you don't learn, you will curse. Why can adults use bad words?
The more he thought about Jiang Xiyue, the more aggrieved she felt. Her lips were no longer pouting, but were completely pursed, and her eyes were filled with resentment .
"Zhou Zhou, then...after school...can...well..."
Linzhou took the initiative to pick Jiang Xiyue up from the ground, then held her in his arms, looking at the playground below the rooftop, and explained in a low voice.
"Although... it's not a good influence, being willful... is a girl's nature, and it's also a small privilege ."
At this time, Jiang Xiyue didn’t know what to do. Why was Zhou Zhou... so sudden and... said some weird things? She was a little shy now.
What is nature and small privileges? Willfulness is not allowed in anything, right?
When she was reading novels online, there were readers who scolded those willful girls, saying things like, "You killed the protagonist. You put the protagonist in this situation. Can't you be more sensible?"
When I was young, adults would also say that it would be better if I were more sensible.
From childhood to adulthood, she has been trying hard to become sensible.
Now, someone actually told her that it was her nature and a small privilege, which seemed a little hard for her to accept.
"Zhou Zhou, if I say I don't need this little privilege, will you be angry?"
"Haha..." Linzhou laughed, let go of the girl, held her shoulders, and spoke in a serious and gentle tone. Looking at the cute face that was completely stunned, he didn't know how to say the words that were on his lips.
After holding it in for a long time, he finally uttered two words.
"Fool."
"Ah? Do you believe that I will scold you like the first time we met?" Jiang Xiyue's cheeks were a little puffy. She thought Linzhou would say something.
What does idiot mean? It shouldn't be a compliment, right?
After checking the time, Lin Zhou reached out and patted Jiang Xiyue on the head. "Let's go to the classroom. I'll explain to you on the way."
The girl standing there looked at Linzhou who had already opened the door, pursed her lips, then ran over quickly and hugged Linzhou from behind.
"You said so. If I act a little willful in the future, you have to forgive me."
"Well...besides your parents, is there anyone else who allows you to be willful?" Lin Zhou smiled and took the lead to step out of the rooftop. "And then...willfulness is human nature...if you restrain your nature, you will become a fool, just like you."
…
A few seconds later, Jiang Xiyue quickly caught up and spoke angrily.
"Who are you calling an idiot? Who is the idiot? I...have better grades than you. You still need me to teach you math!"
"Ah...that's a nerd. Use your invincible brain to make yourself less stupid." Linzhou didn't even turn his head, but the voice came behind him.
Just like what is said in the ancient text, when you shout into the wind, the sound does not get louder, but it is heard clearly.
Every word fell clearly into Jiang Xiyue's ears.
The ambiguous atmosphere just now disappeared after this simple conversation. Jiang Xiyue gritted her teeth, raised her fist and punched Linzhou.
She couldn't stand it anymore. How could this guy control her feelings just right and make her break down at the most touching moment?
Then going up and punching Linzhou now should be considered as a little willful behavior of a girl.
As a girl who does what she says, Jiang Xiyue jogged after him and punched Linzhou in the lower back, of course using a little more force this time.
Linzhou turned around and was about to pinch Jiang Xiyue's cheek, but he heard the golden medal of immunity from death that he had just given out.
Jiang Xiyue raised her head, her tone firm and serious.
"Zhou Zhou, you said just now that you can forgive me!"
What do you call this? This is called I use your spear to pierce your shield. In simple terms, it means quickly breaking your defense.
Jiang Xiyue felt quite pleased when she noticed that Linzhou's expression had become stiff. She quickly walked into the classroom and saw Lao Li already sitting at the desk, writing something.
Looking at Jiang Xiyue who had already walked in, Linzhou stayed at the door for a minute before muttering a popular meme from a long time ago.
"Your words remind me of the shadows of the two old friends in the forest, but they are just shadows..."
When he finished speaking, Jiang Xiyue was already standing in front of Linzhou again, holding two thermos cups in her hands, her eyes full of confusion. After a long time, she spoke.
"Let's go get some water. Also... Zhou Zhou, is your hometown in Gou Xiong Ridge?"
