At noon the next day, Aunt Wu came to school to pick up the kitten.
Lu Zhinian and Jiang Suichu sent the kitten to the school gate and watched Aunt Wu leave as they walked slowly towards the computer classroom.
The two walked side by side. Jiang Suchu turned to look at the person beside him, "Lu Zhinian, let's give the cat a name."
Lu Zhinian walked beside her with his hands in his pockets and nodded: "What do you have in mind?"
Jiang Suchu opened his mouth, then swallowed the words as he reached his lips, shook his head, "No."
Lu Zhinian smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry, just think about it slowly."
Jiang Suichu curled his lips, then suddenly had an idea and turned his head to look at him, "Lu Zhinian, why don't you get it for Maomao."
Lu Zhinian glanced at her, "Huh? Why did you let me get your cat?"
Jiang Suichu smiled at him flatteringly and said, "Because this is your cat too."
She actually felt that it was fairer for her to get Beibei's name, and let Lu Zhinian take the name of Maomao.
Moreover, Lu Zhinian will definitely take care of cats more than her later. She asked him to name the cat and please him first.
Lu Zhinian glanced at her cunning little expression and smiled knowingly.
He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, recalling the message she sent him last night, and raised the corners of his lips.
"Just call her Mimi."
Jiang Suichu's eyes lit up and he jumped with a smile, "Do you think this name sounds nice too?"
Lu Zhinian calmly looked at her expectant face and nodded, "Yes."
"I think it sounds good too." She didn't expect that Lu Zhinian would have the same name as she thought, and she was extremely happy.
Lu Zhinian looked at the smile on her face and curled his lips. She has been bad at naming since she was a child, and her names are always overlapping words.
He still remembered when she was a child and she named each of her pens, all based on the color of the pen. Red ones are called red, green ones are green, and if there are more patterns, they are called flowers.
As soon as she asked him, he guessed that she already had what she wanted. Just to trick him, pretend to be generous and let him take it.
He smiled slightly and shook his head helplessly.
Jiang Suchu: "By the way, Lu Zhinian, are you about to compete?"
Yesterday she saw that he had received an official email from the competition informing them of the specific time and location.
Lu Zhinian nodded and said, "After the final exam, I have to go to Beicheng."
The final exam was less than two weeks away. Jiang Suichu didn't expect it to be so soon. "You won't get your final report card? What about your winter vacation homework?"
Lu Zhinian frowned, "Winter vacation homework?"
Jiang Suichu: "Yes, will Tang Zi take it back to you then?"
Lu Zhinian smiled and said, "No need."
"Ah? Don't you need to write?" Jiang Suchu was a little confused.
Lu Zhinian raised his eyebrows proudly, "This may be the preferential treatment for being first in grade."
Except for his homework during the winter and summer vacations when he was in elementary school, he hasn't done any homework since he entered junior high school. During the winter and summer vacations, he usually studies competition questions he bought himself or participates in various training camps.
No. 1 Middle School is a very humane school. As long as you can prove that you have more worthwhile things to do during the winter and summer vacations, you can apply not to do homework during the winter and summer vacations.
At this point, Lu Zhinian thought of something and asked her: "You will go home directly after the exam?"
Jiang Suichu nodded, "Yeah."
The school wouldn't let her live during the holidays, so she was too embarrassed to stay at the Lu family's house. Moreover, grandma was not in good health as soon as winter came, and she wanted to go back to take care of her as soon as possible.
"What's wrong?" She saw that Lu Zhinian was silent and didn't know what he was thinking.
Lu Zhinian put away the darkness in his eyes, smiled lightly at her and said, "It's nothing. Remember to send me messages every day after you get home."
"Yeah." Jiang Suichu nodded.
…
On weekends, Jiang Suichu studied in her room until Aunt Yuan asked her to go downstairs for dinner at noon.
Shu Yuan pulled her to sit next to her and brought her food: "Suibao, you must be tired from studying. Eat quickly."
"Thank you Aunt Yuan." Lu Zhinian was not seen at the table. She was a little surprised and asked Shu Yuan: "Aunt Yuan, where is A Nian?"
At home, like Uncle Lu and Aunt Yuan, she is called Lu Zhinian A-Nian.
Shu Yuan served her a bowl of soup and put it in front of her, "Lele and I went out early in the morning, and we didn't say where we were going."
"We don't have to wait for him to eat. He said he won't come back to eat."
"Oh." Jiang Suchu drank the soup with a spoon. The two of them had taken her with them wherever they went before, so why didn't they tell him this time.
Lu Shenghua came out of the study downstairs. Jiang Suichu saw him and called someone quickly.
"Uncle Lu."
"Hey." Lu Shenghua sat on the main seat in the middle and talked to her with a smile, "Is Suibao's final exam coming soon?"
"Well, the exam is next week." Jiang Suichu nodded, stood up and filled Lu Shenghua's bowl of hot rice again, "Uncle Lu, that bowl of rice is a bit cold, you can just eat this."
"Hey, good." Lu Shenghua smiled and took the rice from Jiang Suichu's hand and sighed, "It's thoughtful to raise a daughter."
Shu Yuan smiled and said, "Our Suibao is the most sensible."
Jiang Suichu smiled sheepishly, sat down and continued eating.
"That's natural." Lu Shenghua glanced at the restaurant, as if he just realized that there was someone missing from the table.
"Where's A Nian? Why don't you come down to eat?"
Shu Yuan served Lu Shenghua a bowl of soup, "It's not easy. Mr. Lu still remembers that you have a son."
Lu Shenghua glanced at Shu Yuan, "What are you talking about?"
Shu Yuan smiled, gave Jiang Suchu a piece of ribs, and said, "He and Lele went out and won't come back to eat."
Lu Shenghua: "It's almost the final exam and I'm still running around. I don't want to study with Si Bao. I just study at home."
Jiang Suichu was biting his ribs and paused after hearing this. Lu Zhinian wanted to learn from her?
Uncle Lu is really good at joking.
After dinner, Jiang Suichu fed Beibei and Mimi, chatted with Aunt Shuyuan for a while before going upstairs. After going upstairs, she sent Lu Zhinian a message asking him where he was, but he didn't reply after waiting for a long time.
The heating was on in the room, which made me want to sleep. Jiang Suichu didn't know when she fell asleep. When she woke up, it was already past three in the afternoon.
The first thing she did was to turn on her phone to see if Lu Zhinian had replied to her message.
[Play basketball here at the No. 1 Middle School Affiliated Primary School and go back soon. 】
Lu Zhinian sent her a message back an hour ago.
The primary school attached to the No. 1 Middle School is in the old town of Jiangdong. Lu Zhinian and the others were playing basketball there that time Tang Mi was blocked in the alley by gangsters.
Jiang Suchu didn't know if he was back now, so he walked out with his cell phone and sent him a message.
【Did you come back? 】
She opened the door to the room and happened to see Lu Zhinian coming up from the stairs.
He was dressed in black and had a black peaked cap on his head. The brim of his hat was so low that she couldn't see his eyebrows clearly.
Jiang Suchu trotted over in slippers, "Lu Zhinian, you are back."
Lu Zhinian was typing back her message with his head down, but he lowered the brim of his hat when he heard her voice, "Yeah."
Jiang Suchu stood in front of him and turned his head to look at his face, "Where have you been?"
Lu Zhinian put his cell phone in his pocket, "I went out to play basketball with Pei Shuo. I didn't call you before you got up in the morning."
"Oh." Jiang Suchu felt that he was a little weird today. She glanced at the hat that covered his eyebrows and asked, "Can you see the road clearly with your hat so low?"
She grabbed his arm while he wasn't prepared, stood on tiptoes and reached out to take off the hat on his head, but he caught her before she even touched her wrist.
Lu Zhinian pinched her thin white wrist, leaned back, pulled some distance away, and said with a dumb smile: "Don't touch her, your head is sweaty and dirty."
After speaking, Lu Zhinian let go of her wrist, rubbed her head, and said, "I'm going to take a bath first, and I'll give you tutoring later."
After Lu Zhinian went to take a shower, Jiang Suchu returned to the room and sent a message to Pei Shuo.
Jiang Suichu: [Lele, what are you and Lu Zhinian doing today? 】
Pei Shuo: [Playing ball. 】
Pei Shuo: [Princess, you were not up yet when I came over in the morning, otherwise I would have asked you to come with me. 】
Jiang Suchu: [Really? 】
Pei Shuo: [If it’s not real, is it still cooked? 】
Jiang Suichu: [Oh~]
Putting down the phone, she always felt a little weird in her heart for some reason. These two people must be hiding something from her.
In the bathroom, Lu Zhinian took off his clothes and accidentally rubbed the wound on his forehead.
"Hiss~"
He threw the clothes into the dirty clothes basket and moved closer to the mirror to lift his short hair from his forehead. There was a scratch of about two to three centimeters across the forehead. Fortunately, it was only a little red and swollen, and the skin was not broken or bleeding.
The cell phone on the sink vibrated, and he picked it up. It was Pei Shuo.
"Hello."
Pei Shuo: "A-Nian, Suisui just asked us what we were doing? Do you think she found something?"
Lu Zhinian frowned: "What did you say?"
Pei Shuo: "What else can I say? Let's go play basketball as we agreed before."
Lu Zhinian: "Well, if she asks you again, just say that. Don't say anything else."
Pei Shuo said 'hmm' and then said, "How is the injury on your forehead? Is it serious?"
Lu Zhinian looked in the mirror and thought about how to cover the injury. "It's nothing serious, just a little red and swollen."
Speaking of this, Pei Shuo angrily spat on the other end of the phone, "That bastard Jiang Mingjie is so despicable. He actually played dirty tricks. Otherwise, he would never be your opponent."
Lu Zhinian twitched the corner of his mouth coldly, "He didn't get anything good, either."
His hand wouldn't be healed for ten days and a half.
Pei Shuo: "That's right. Now that Sui Sui is back for vacation, he probably won't dare to bully her anymore."
Lu Zhinian's deep eyes were filled with cold light, and his lips were straightened, "He doesn't have the courage."
As long as he didn't want his hand to be literally destroyed, he wouldn't ignore his warning. Today is just a lesson to him.
Pei Shuo: "That's it for now, my dad called me, I guess I'll have to be punished again."
"Yeah." Lu Zhinian smiled and hung up the phone.
Lu Zhinian put down his mobile phone and walked into the shower room.
……….
Dong dong ~ dong dong ~
As the knock on the door rang, Lu Zhinian's voice came, "Suisui."
Jiang Suichu sat at the desk and turned around, "The door is unlocked."
After saying this, the door to the room was pushed open by Lu Zhinian. He had already finished taking a shower and had changed into a casual gray sweatshirt and sweatpants. His hair was half dry and hanging softly in front of his forehead.
"Go to the study." He stood at the door, one hand in his pocket and the other on the door handle.
"Okay, wait for me." Her books were spread out on the table, a little messy.
Lu Zhinian looked at her fussy look and walked over, "I'll do it."
Jiang Suchu stepped aside to make room for him, watching his well-joined fingers helping him sort out the messed up test papers.
She glanced at his still wet hair, "Why don't you blow dry your hair?"
Lu Zhinian didn't stop moving, and first put her books in order of size, "There is heating in the room, and they will be dry in a while."
"Oh~" Jiang Suchu looked at him, as if his hair had grown longer, and it would have covered his eyebrows if he didn't blow dry it.
Lu Zhinian was very serious no matter what he did. With his eyebrows lowered, he unfolded her messy test papers one by one, smoothed them out, and then stacked them in order of date.
After sorting it out, Lu Zhinian took the books and papers in his hand and said to her, "Let's go."
The two came to the study room. Ever since Jiang Suichu moved to the Lu family, there was an extra chair in front of Lu Zhinian's desk.
The two sat side by side. Jiang Suchu found out the questions that he had not solved in the morning, and Lu Zhinian explained them to her one by one.
Lu Zhinian's ideas on topics were always simple and clear, and he would not go into too much detail. He would first explain the principles to her, and then write down an example for her to explain. After she solved the example questions he gave, he asked her to do the questions on the test paper again.
Every time she listened to Lu Zhinian's words, she felt like she had a sudden enlightenment.
"It turns out it's that simple." Jiang Suchu bit the tip of his pen, feeling a little annoyed that he had never thought of this relationship before.
Lu Zhinian took the pen and picked it away from the pen she was biting in her mouth, and smiled: "How old are you, and you still bite the pen end."
Jiang Suichu turned his head and looked at him, with a little envy in his eyes: "I really want to know what is in your mind. Why can't I learn the questions you know after reading them once?"
Lu Zhinian raised his eyebrows and said, "You've learned it now."
"That's true." Jiang Suchu tilted his head, with a somewhat arrogant expression, "I'm also very smart."
This question is an idea development question at the end of each unit in the exercise book, and it is all competition-level questions. Even if she made it under Lu Zhinian's explanation, it would still be amazing.
Lu Zhinian looked at her arrogant little expression, bent his lower lip and tapped her forehead with the tip of his pen, "You are not modest at all."
Jiang Suichu smiled and said, "Teacher Lu taught well."
He smiled casually, put down his pen and leaned back on his chair. "After the exam, I have to go to Beicheng to compete. I can't send you home."
"Ah?" Jiang Suchu turned to look at him, "There's no need to send it to me."
Even if he didn't have to go to the competition, she never thought about asking him to take her home. She didn't want him to see her situation at her uncle's house.
Lu Zhinian said: "Your birthday is coming soon."
Jiang Suchu was stunned for a moment. Her birthday was on the fourth day after the final exam. She didn't expect that he would still remember it.
Jiang Suchu smiled at him, his eyes narrowed: "You play well and don't worry about me."
Lu Zhinian made a 'tsk' sound, scratched his eyebrows, and called her name: "Jiang Suichu."
"Ah? What's wrong?" Why did she feel that his cry was a bit strange.
Lu Zhinian tilted his head slightly and looked at her, "You can be willful in front of me."
Jiang Suichu was slightly stunned, feeling a little sour but more moved.
She stretched out her hand to scratch his palm and said with a smile: "Lu Zhinian, please give me a birthday gift."
Lu Zhinian raised his eyebrows and grabbed the messy little hand, "Well, what do you want?"
This was the first time she asked him for something, and he would give it to her no matter what it was.
Jiang Suchu glanced at the hand he held and pursed his lower lip, "Your medal for this competition."
"That's it?" Lu Zhinian was a little surprised.
Jiang Suchu nodded, "Is that okay?"
Lu Zhinian smiled slightly, there was nothing wrong with it.
Just, "Do you believe that I will definitely win the award?"
Jiang Suchu nodded firmly, "Of course. You will definitely win."
Although she didn't understand his game, she believed in Lu Zhinian.
Seeing the affirmation in her eyes, Lu Zhinian bent his lower lip and said to her, "Okay, I will definitely give you a championship."
