Chapter 96: Boiling Tea Around the Fire
It took the two of them more than an hour to get from school to Sakurai Megumi's store.
At this time, the sky had already darkened. Sitting on the table, Lin Zhou watched Yingjing Hui cleaning the coffee machine...
It looks like a very troublesome job.
Although he was very curious about how many points he would get, Linzhou still resisted the urge to compare answers with Jiang Xiyue.
To be honest, this was his first time taking a mock exam and he felt invincible. His previous invincibility was all boastful. As soon as the results came out, he collapsed immediately.
It is at least 50 points lower than expected.
After all, their school is a key school. Although it is an experimental one, the students' grades are still very good, just not as high as those of the monsters.
But Jiancheng No. 1 High School is the only school in the entire Jiancheng where one can enjoy a normal high school life.
There is no annoying evening self-study, nor are there any messy rules, such as not putting garbage in the trash can, running exercises before morning self-study, etc.
Especially the morning exercise, although it helps to strengthen the body, some schools have developed a new way of doing it, called intensive running exercises.
That thing is not run by humans...
If the good guys in a group are running next to each other, then if just one person makes a mistake, the whole group will be doomed.
At this stage of high school, learning actually depends on self-discipline. We are all grown-up children with our own ideas and expectations for the future. When it comes to learning, teachers are the only ones who can guide us...
All that’s left is to review the questions over and over again... As the old saying goes, read a book a hundred times and its meaning will become clear.
But next year, I will say goodbye to this ordinary yet fulfilling life, although compared with that of ordinary high school students, it is indeed not ordinary and may even be a bit bizarre.
Running into a rich high school girl on the corner is something that only happens in novels and animations.
Jiang Xiyue, who was sitting opposite and playing games, noticed that Linzhou was in a daze, so she immediately put down her phone, looked up and asked, "Zhou Zhou, what are you thinking about? Why do I feel like you're so melancholy?"
"Let's play the game first. You are the C in this game. Please show some respect to your teammates... don't delay me from talking to you." Looking at Jiang Xiyue's performance, Linzhou complained helplessly.
This is really the case: you never know why your teammates are AFK.
Even though there was an earthquake, I still insisted on finishing the game.
After being criticized, Jiang Xiyue had no choice but to pick up the phone again and continue operating, but the expression on her face was quite unhappy.
Linzhou realized that he was unromantic, but he did not apologize. He had just saved four people's path to ranking up, but he still had to respond to the little girl's question.
"As for what I was thinking just now, I was wondering what life would be like after entering college. And I felt a little sad that our school is the only one in the whole city that is as relaxed as ours."
The girl was in the middle of an exciting team battle. When she heard the answer, she quickly put down her phone and spoke to Linzhou while looking into his eyes.
"Well, college. I don't know what it will be like, but I'm really looking forward to it!"
Watching Jiang Xiyue's teammates being hacked to death, Linzhou picked up the phone on the table and helped Jiang Xiyue play games...
The little girl is so well-educated. Whenever she talks to someone, she always puts down what she is doing . This must be what Uncle Jiang taught her.
The game was taken over by Linzhou, and Jiang Xiyue could only lie on the table and share her childhood memories in a low voice with the big boy in front of her.
"Although it's not nice of me to do this, when I was a kid, if I dared to greet guests while playing games, my father would scold me for half an hour, the kind that would make me cry..."
"I'm not a guest, and I won't scold you, don't worry... Damn, this is one second slower than the ultimate move. If it were faster, I wouldn't have to die!" Lin Zhou started complaining about his teammates halfway through his comforting words.
At this time, Jiang Xiyue also noticed...it turns out that boys can really tell when their teammates slow down their skills?
No wonder he flashed into the wall last time and was scolded by someone on the voice chat.
But Zhou Zhou just said that he wouldn't scold her. Does that mean that she can play games, pick her feet and eat snacks at her home in Linzhou?
Since they are all family, Zhou Zhou shouldn’t mind her picking her toes, but she seems to be disgusted by her being so unskilled at picking her toes…
That's okay!
While he was daydreaming, Linzhou won the game, returned the phone to Jiang Xiyue, then turned to look at Sakurai Megumi who had already packed up.
"Sister Hui, you said you would take us to a nice place, where?"
"Keep it a secret, I discovered this place recently, it's a great place for friends to hangout." Sakurai Megumi walked to the door of the store, carefully changed the sign that read "Open" to "Closed", and dug out the car keys from the bar.
…
The three of them went together, locked the door, and headed to a small courtyard in the suburbs.
Half an hour later, Linzhou looked at the row of quaint courtyards in front of him, and then looked at the combination locks on the courtyard doors. He always felt that something was wrong, but it seemed that there was no problem.
In short, Sakurai Megumi opened the door lock using the dynamic password sent by the merchant on her mobile phone.
The yard was paved with bluestone and was swept very clean. I touched the stone table and found a thin layer of dust on it, which was obviously accumulated today.
There were no dead leaves under the trees in the yard, but there were several pots of plum blossoms placed on the windows of the main house.
Just like returning to her own home, Sakurai Megumi skillfully opened the door and led everyone in. What caught their eyes was not what they had imagined, but a large stove, charcoal on the ground, and a whole box of dried fruits sorted by category.
As for the dried fruits, next to them is a whole basket of tangerines.
Seeing this, Linzhou probably knew what to do, which was to sit around the stove, make tea and chat.
It's quiet and quite upper-class.
But this merchant really understands it. This thing seems to have just become popular on the Internet. If I am not mistaken, this yard used to be a homestay, and now it has added functions.
He could even see five computers lined up in a row in a side room.
This merchant is just trying to take advantage of the popularity, right?
There was heating in the house, but the stove had no chimney. Linzhou skillfully helped to take out the charcoal and threw it into the stove, then lit the kindling that had been stuffed in there in advance from where the ash was taken out.
Jiang Xiyue, who was already sitting by the stove and eating melon seeds, suddenly put the seeds aside, stood up, and put her cold little hand into Linzhou's collar.
"Zhou Zhou, I'm a little cold. How about we close the doors and windows?"
…
Hearing this, Linzhou fell silent. He took out a piece of A4 paper from the box where the dried fruits were placed and handed it to Jiang Xiyue.
"Idiot, if you have a problem with me, just do it...Have you read the old version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms? Guess why they want to hold this event with the door open..."
Jiang Xiyue, who was used to answering at the speed of light, hesitated for the first time and answered weakly.
"Carbon monoxide poisoning?"
"Right... isn't this quite clever?"
