The corners of Lu Xi’s lips couldn’t help being raised, and his eyes twinkled, “Sisi…Sister, why are you here?”

“Thank you for taking me back this month and a half,” Zhou Sisi spoke softly.

Lu Xi scratched his fluffy short hair and replied, “You’re welcome.”

“You don’t have to wait for me to go back tonight.” And after a pause she added, “You don’t have to wait for me in the future.”

A cool autumn wind blew, extinguishing most of the starlight in Lu Xi’s eyes, “Why can’t we go back together?”

Zhou Sisi: “The pervert hasn’t appeared for a long time, there is no need to trouble you to send me…”

“No trouble,” Lu Xi said immediately. “We live at the same place, we just happened to be on the way, and I just have a self-study in the evening.”

“The weather is cold, and you’ll be blown by the wind when you ride your bike.”

“It’s okay, I’ll block the wind for you.”

“I am worried that you have to blow the wind.”

“It’s okay, I like wind, I’m not afraid.”

Zhou Sisi’s heart seemed to be hit by another warmth and moved.

This teenager had learned to care and help others. She was somewhat relieved.

In her mind, the memory of her last life flashed as she “saw” after her death, the scene where he mourned for his neighbor sister…

Recalling that her eyes were sore, she didn’t dare to stay here anymore and said warmly, “I really don’t need to trouble you. I will be living on campus from next week.”

“Why do you want to live on campus?” Lu Xi frowned slightly.

“Saving time to and from school, it is convenient to prepare for the college entrance examination.” Zhou Sisi curled her lips and smiled. And it was almost winter, she didn’t like to feel the cold of nature on the road at night and early in the morning.

“…… Oh.” The hand hanging down on the side of the leg half gripped up. “Tonight, this last time, I will go home with you.”

Today was the last day of the week, which meant they had to study in the evening.

Zhou Sisi did not refuse, “Okay.”

“I’m going back to the classroom.”

“All right, I’ll see you at the school gate after class.”

He stared at the slender figure until it disappeared into the corner, then he lowered his eyelashes, and a soft snort overflowed from his throat.

At the same time the second period of evening study bell rang, he returned to the classroom.

Zhang Xiaoyan, who asked the homework questions had long gone, and Pan De was nowhere to be seen.

Taking out the mobile phone from the table, Lu Xi pressed the home button with his thumb, and the screen page that lit up was the chat box of “Hua Li No.3 Middle school confession wall”

— “The chance to meet in the future will become less.”

— “I’m annoyed.”

— “I don’t want to wait anymore.”

In fact, what Zhou Sisi said about staying on campus was not a spur of the moment. She had plans for the National Day holiday, and she had already told Chen Cui.

Chen Cui, who was determined to make up for her daughter, was a little reluctant, but she respected her daughter’s wishes and knew that this would be beneficial to her daughter’s academic future, so she did not disagree.

The Grade leaders attach great importance to senior third-year students, especially those with excellent grades, and arranged vacant beds very efficiently.

Along with her classmate Zhou Sisi submitted an application last Friday, and received a notice of approval for the accommodation the next day.

The assigned dorms were 402 and 418. The female classmate picked 402 first, and Zhou Sisi could only go to the remaining 418.

On Sunday afternoon, Zhou Sisi brought her luggage to school an hour early.

There were eight beds in 418, three of which did not belong to anyone and were filled with books, shoeboxes, express boxes and other miscellaneous items.

Zhou Sisi was assigned one of three “shared” beds by the door.

She first swept the floor and after wiping her hands clean, she gently moved the items on it to the other two beds one by one, according to their categories.

“Hey, who are you?” The round-faced girl in a red jacket walked into the dormitory. “What are you doing?”

Zhou Sisi raised a smile and replied, “Hello, classmate, I’m Zhou Sisi who moved in…”

“Why are you messing with our things?” The girl in the red coat threw off the daily necessities she was carrying.

“Sorry, I’m going to use this bed from today onwards.” Zhou Sisi returned without arrogance.

The red jacket stared at her and said, “For you to use? You occupy this bed, where do I put my things?”

“I don’t know where you’re going to put it, just don’t put it on my bed.” Zhou Sisi paused and added, “These things on my bed, or you want to move them yourself?”

The red coat glanced at Sisi’s bed and narrowed her eyes. She saw that she was slender and beautiful, and her tone became more aggressive, “Who allowed you to live in?”

“The head teacher and grade leader, what do you think?” Zhou Sisi withdrew her smile.

“I …… hum!”

The red jacket returned to her bed, as if she had a grudge against her own things, and made every movement loudly.

Laying mats, placing mattresses, putting up mosquito nets… Zhou Sisi ignored the inexplicable hostility of her new roommate and made her bed, unaffected.

“Why don’t you turn on the light?” Another girl came in and pressed on the lights in the dorm. “It’s getting dark – hey you are…”

“Hello, I’m Zhou Sisi who moved in.” Zhou Sisi introduced herself with a light smile.

“Hmmm I know, you’re the campus ambassador,” the girl with the blue hair band returned a smile. “I’m from your next class ……”

“Li Jia!”

The girl in the red coat interrupted gloomily, “She touched your stuff without permission.”

“Huh?” Li Jia didn’t understand. “Moved my things?”

“I moved the items from this bed to the other empty beds,” Sisi explained.

Li Jia hummed twice as she replied, “Move it ……”

“Li Jia! Are you my good friend?!” The girl in the red coat gritted her teeth.

“I…” Li Jia’s shoulders shrank. “Yeah, what’s wrong?”

“Come here! Talk to me!” The girl in the red coat barked an order.

Li Jia weakly replied, “Uh-huh, talk about what?”

After realizing it, Pan Yijin, the girl in the red coat, rejected Zhou Sisi, she awkwardly cowered with Pan Yijin’s team, and no longer communicated with Zhou Sisi.

After each exam, Zhou Sisi went to the head teacher Wu Lan to inquire about Lu Xi’s grades.

In the November midterm, Lu Xi’s English and chemistry scores entered the top 200 in grade, and seven subjects including Chinese, Mathematics and Physics entered the top 100 in grade.

Zhou Sisi proposed he could stop taking extra classes, but Lu Xi was unwilling to end it, saying that he could not be satisfied with the status quo and had to work harder.

Zhou Sisi said that he had built up the knowledge thread that he had left behind and formed a good way of thinking, so there was no need to spend time listening to her make-up lessons.

“Don’t.” A look of grievance appeared in Lu Xi’s eyes. “Your lectures are good, and I got twice the result with half the effort.”

Zhou Sisi said softly, “The teachers in the school taught very well.”

“No, I like listening to you. It’s because of you that I listen carefully.”

“Sister Sisi, are you going to give up on me?”

Zhou Sisi: “…No.”

There was no way to get Lu Xi, so Zhou Sisi had to continue making up the class.

This morning, Zhou Sisi was helping Lu Xi sort through the key vocabulary of the penultimate unit.

The strong rhythm metallic ringtone rang.

Without looking at the screen, Lu Xi reached out and cut off the call.

After a while, the ringtone of the incoming call rang again.

Zhou Sisi: “Come on, what if something happens?”

Lu Xi didn’t cut it off again.

“Hello.”

“Why did you hang up?” Huang Zhou’s voice sounded from the other end.

Lu Xi: “What?”

Huang Zhou: “Does the Internet cafe open a black appointment?”

Lu Xi: “No.”

Huang Zhou asked again: “Are you coming out to play football?”

Lu Xi said decisively, “No.”

“Come out…”

“It’s okay, I’m going to hang up.”

“Damn! You dare to hang up? Aren’t these all ‘things’?” Huang Zhou was annoyed. “What are you playing?”

Lu Xi said loosely, “Oh.”

“How many good days have you not been out to play?”

“I haven’t counted.”

“What are you doing at home on weekends?” Huang Zhou couldn’t help but complain, “How about watching movies?”

“Go away.” Lazily hooking the headphone cord in the drawer, Lu Xi turned his face sideways, and there was a vague smile on the corners of his lips, which reflected in the clear glass window. “I have to do business with the goddess in the room.”
