Chapter 695: Youth. Xu

the Lu family members could not say anything more and dismissed them saying, "Hurry up and take the child to see as well."At this point, Lu Kuo was speechless: "You two parties involved have convenie...Zhang He's eyes welled up. She couldn't believe she deserved such a well-behaved daughter. 。hugged her: "Lanlan, thank you for understanding mom" 。The mother and daughter thus reconciled, walked down the street outside their home for a while, and chatted about many things. 。On the way home, Mom suddenly sighed and said: "I heard from Auntie Wen this time that Xiao Jian didn't do well on the midterm exam. He didn't even make it into the top ten in his class. It seems like Auntie Wen thinks he's fallen in love too early." 。"Zhang He is very fortunate that she discovered it early and extinguished the child's initial signs in time. Few children who fall in love early are able to avoid affecting their studies. " 。Ting Lan's hand stiffened when she clasped her mother's, so she had been in love early! The girl's heart was no longer stirred. 。After that, her mother no longer kept a close watch on her. She chose to ride her bicycle to and from school every day. Besides Cheng Chen, she had no interaction with other classmates. 。She was already pretty, and on top of that, she had good grades. She also got used to being alone, so gradually, people started thinking she was arrogant, cold, and difficult to get along with. 。Even someone as sociable as Lian Kuò was speechless in her presence. 。Every time he walked past her desk, he would deliberately stop to see what she was doing, then make a heart shape with his hands: "Tinglan, you're so heartless, it breaks my heart." 。Every time Tinglan looked up at him, her expression was unusually calm, making Lu Kuo feel like a clown. He muttered to himself, "A woman's heart is unfathomable," and left. Afterward, he didn't try to chat with her much. 。When people are engrossed in their studies, time flies by. Before they know it, the semester ends and winter vacation arrives. 。At the end of term exams, when it was the last subject, Zhuo Yu'an intentionally submitted his paper half an hour early and waited in the bicycle shed. 。From afar, I saw her and Cheng Chen walking out of the teaching building hand in hand. She had a calm expression and was listening intently to what Cheng Chen was saying. 。Cheng Chen told a few funny stories, and she smiled faintly at the corners of her lips. 。When they arrived at the playground, Cheng Chen went to the school gate to take the bus, while she headed for the bike shed. 。She didn't notice him, bending over to unlock the car and pushing it out, preoccupied with her own task. 。Not until the steering wheel was grasped by Zhuo Yu'an did she look up, to see him seem startled and a little flustered. 。Zhuo Yúan had a thousand words he wanted to say. From the midterm exam to now, almost two months had passed since they last spoke. All he saw was her back. 。

He had so much to say, but seeing her with such a strange expression, he suddenly didn't know what to say. She was too unfamiliar. 。"How did you do on the final exam"

Listening Lan was stopped by him, and after panicking, his instinct was to look around, afraid of being seen by classmates or teachers. Hearing his question, he replied,

"It went pretty well." 。Then, she rushed toward the school gate, leaning on the car as if escaping, leaving Zhu Yu'an with only her back. 。Zuo Yu'an scoffed, his voice barely a whisper: "Shu Tinglan, I'm not that bad, am I" Of course, no one could hear him. 。Lu Kuò darted out from behind him, wanting to sling an arm around his shoulder as usual, but his hand stopped a centimeter from his shoulder, knowing he disliked being touched. 。"Are you going back to Beijing for winter break" Lu Kuo always went back home during holidays, he couldn't stand the boring life in Qining. 。

"Back" 。"Zuo Yu'an answered in a single word and then walked towards the school gate." 。

I want to have a long winter break, even my back can't be seen. 。。Most of the time, I just accompanied my grandpa to his work place and watched him handle various tasks and interact with different people. 。Actually, he understood that his grandfather wanted him to follow the path they had arranged. He had been raised alongside them, immersed in their ways from a young age. 。But things didn't go as planned. Having grown up seeing all this back-and-forth between politicians, he was completely uninterested. 。

Interests lie in the world one can create. 。When he wasn't keeping company with his grandfather, he stayed at home typing code on the computer. His fingers flew across the keyboard, and after a while, the screen gradually showed the figure of a beautiful young girl. The figure went from blurry to clear, the girl lowering her head with a faint smile as she held a bucket of popcorn. 。Remembering that weekend after the midterm exam, his heart felt a heavy blow, almost piercing through it, with an achingly bittersweet feeling. 。

I miss her a little, but I don't dare to message her. All I can do is check her updates on social media. 。Her message board was very lively, with many of her classmates leaving messages, but she never seemed to reply. 。On New Year's Eve, he worked up the courage to send her a "Happy New Year" message. As soon as he sent it, he regretted it because he had secretly added her as a friend and she didn't need to verify friends. 。All night, he stared at his phone, a mixture of anxiety and anticipation in his heart. However, the message was like a stone sinking into the sea, never receiving any reply. 。On New Year's Eve, Ting Lan only received a few scattered blessing text messages. She had hardly been on the computer during the entire holiday, let alone , at that time, her phone model couldn't access the internet, nor would it have 。It wasn't until the school year was about to start that I logged onto my computer once, and then I saw a strange avatar sending me a happy new year. 。At a glance, it was sent on New Year's Eve, more than ten days ago. She glanced at the profile information, but there was nothing in it, so she didn't reply. 。

This winter vacation, she did pretty well because her mid-term exam results were good. Her parents relaxed their management of her, and she only attended a few tutoring classes during the entire vacation. The rest of the time was spent at home watching TV, occasionally going to the mall or amusement park with Cheng Chen. 。Some people are reluctant to end their vacation and don't want to go back to school. 。She didn't want to go back to school, but Zhuo Yu'an was looking forward to the start of the semester for the first time in his life. 。He did not wait for Lu Kuo and returned to Qining alone. 。He saw Tinglan on the last day of his vacation. 。At that time, he was riding aimlessly through the streets and alleys of Qining on his bicycle, trying to calm down those restless emotions. Then, near Qining High School, at a rice noodle shop, he saw her. 。She and Cheng Chen stood side-by-side at the door of the shop, ordering food with the owner. The owner seemed to like them both very much, chatting with them with a smile on his face. 。Once the millet porridge was ready, she and Cheng Chen carefully carried the bowl to an empty table by the window. 。Zhuo Yuan rode his bicycle, standing on one foot on the ground, and didn't know how long he had been looking. 。Her face and lips were flushed red from eating the hot tomato noodles. Whether she was scalded or spicy, she occasionally opened her mouth and fanned herself with her hand, then smiled at Cheng Chen again. 。Actually, she's very smiley and adorable in front of familiar people. Only when facing strangers does she become more reserved, appearing a bit proud and cold. 。a private settlement agreement, paying him off and ending the matter. Today was just to teach this kid a lesson, so that he would stay away from him in the future.Although I may complain, deep down I...
