After finishing speaking, Xu Zhiyi looked at Octavia playfully.
Octavia's face turned red.
This is the first time Xu Zhiyi has seen Octavia like this.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she became excited, "Mr. Ming, what do you mean by your embarrassed reaction? Oh my god, it turns out grandma didn't lie to me. You really saw me when I was a child, right?"
Mingrui lowered his head, forehead to forehead with hers, with a rare shyness at this age in his eyes, "Yes, I met you once in my senior year of high school."
Xu Zhiyi exclaimed: "You are six years older than me and you were a senior in high school. I should have been in sixth grade in elementary school at that time. How could we meet?"
I have no impression at all. I’m really curious. Husband, please tell me what’s going on. Tell me quickly. "
When a passerby passed by, Xu Zhiyi felt a little embarrassed, pushing Octavia away who was still holding her, holding his hand, and listened to him tell this secret from his youth while walking.
Purely by chance.
It happened during the final exam of the first semester of Octavia’s senior year of high school.
Octavia rarely comes to school. He studies at home at his own pace and only takes school exams on time.
That afternoon, after finishing his last exam, he packed his things and prepared to go home. His classmates sent him a message saying that his head teacher, Xu Cheng, asked him to come to the office.
He probably guessed what Xu Cheng wanted to say to him.
Not long after registration for the college entrance examination ended, he faced the choice of accepting admission from Tsinghua and Peking University or taking the college entrance examination normally.
Xu Cheng should tell him about this.
In fact, he had already made up his mind, so since Xu Cheng wanted to talk to him, he would tell the truth and not dwell on this issue anymore.
As soon as he reached the door of Xu Cheng's office, he heard the aggrieved sobs of a girl.
Looking for the sound, he stood at the door and looked inside.
There is an unused desk directly opposite, and sitting next to it is a little girl who is as beautiful as a Barbie doll.
He looks about ten years old.
The girl has fair skin and big eyes. She holds a pool of water in her mouth and is crying while doing her homework.
She was wearing the uniform of Acropolis Ninth Primary School.
Yellow and gray tracksuit.
Some are ugly enough.
However, ugly is the norm in school uniforms.
In his memory, he has never seen any school with nice-looking uniforms.
The uniform of Acropolis Middle School he was wearing was not that good either.
If the school hadn't required him to wear a uniform when entering school, he wouldn't have worn it.
However, the ugly school uniform does not affect the little girl's good looks. The little baby fat on her face makes her look cute and naive.
When she saw someone coming in, she raised her head, quickly wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, and asked obediently:
"Brother, are you here to see my father?
My dad said he was going to the principal's office and would be back later, so you should wait for him. "
At that time, Xu Cheng shared an office with three other teachers.
At this time, there was only this little girl in the office. Judging from her appearance, she did not look like Xu Cheng.
Octavia couldn't be sure that the father she was talking about was Xu Cheng.
He looked at the girl's red nose and asked, "Little sister, what's your name?"
The little girl answered honestly: "My name is Xu Zhiyi."
Now he confirmed that she was the daughter of his class teacher Xu Cheng.
Perhaps his curiosity about the head teacher reflected on his daughter, and he couldn't help but ask: "Why are you crying? Did someone bully you?"
He didn't ask, but when he asked Xu Zhiyi, he immediately felt aggrieved. His mouth curled up, the corners of his mouth drooped, and tears fell again.
The tears were big and big, like broken pearls.
Octavia usually studied at home and rarely had contact with such an old girl. Seeing her crying sadly, he felt a little at a loss.
It happened that at this time, a female teacher returned to the office and saw Xu Zhiyi crying towards Octavia and asked urgently:
"Hey, why are you crying, Xiao Zhiyi? Is this brother bullying you?"
Octavia frowned.
Um?
What is the logic.
As if afraid that he would be wrongly accused, Xu Zhiyi quickly said:
"No, my brother didn't bully me. I got too many wrong questions and was scolded by my dad again.
My dad said he would come back later to check my homework, but I still couldn't do these wrong questions.
Woohoo... I'm going to be scolded by him again, what should I do? "
While crying, she returned to the desk and sat down, sniffing and lowering her head to do her homework again.
The female teacher was anxious to leave. She took the book and shrugged helplessly. When she saw Octavia, she waved to him:
"Come on, come on, Octavia, tell your teacher Xu's girl a question, but don't let your teacher Xu scold her again. If such a beautiful girl scolds her like that every day, sooner or later he will call her ugly."
At that time, Octavia was a celebrity in Acropolis Middle School, and every teacher didn't know him.
Seeing that he didn't move, the female teacher walked to the door of the office and without any explanation pushed him to Xu Zhiyi's desk, "I leave it to you. Let's see if a talented player like you can handle the hard-working primary school students. Anyway, you, Teacher Xu, Can’t handle it.”
After that, she left.
Mingrui lowered his eyes and looked at Xu Zhiyi who lowered his head to make preparations.
Um……
It's a bit difficult to start.
"Octavia, you're here."
Xu Cheng's voice came from behind.
Octavia was relieved and turned to look at Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng casually pointed to a chair next to him, "You sit here and wait for me for a while."
After saying that, he hurriedly walked to Xu Zhiyi and said, "Zhiyi, put your homework away and go back to do it. I will take you to find your mother."
At Xu Cheng's urging, Xu Zhiyi packed up her things awkwardly and followed him.
Octavia's eyes followed the two of them until they disappeared at the door of the office.
Looking back, he saw a bracelet woven with red rope dropped on the desk.
A small flower basket carved from peach walnut hangs from the bracelet.
He stepped forward and stared at the bracelet again and again.
Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps behind him.
Inexplicably, he panicked, grabbed the bracelet, and quickly put it in his pocket.
Later, Xu Cheng entered the office.
Octavia turned around immediately with an unnatural look on his face:
"Teacher Xu, I don't accept the recommendation. I have to take the college entrance examination. Our Acropolis has never produced a provincial champion. I want to challenge and break this zero record.
I know you came to me to talk about this. Now, I've finished talking, okay, I'm leaving. "
After saying that, he ran away before Xu Cheng could speak.
Xu Cheng was left alone in the office in a messy and windy state.
Later, Feng Xiaoyu discovered a red string peach bracelet on Octavia's desk.
After Xu Zhiyi married into the Ming family, she got close to Feng Xiaoyu, so she rummaged through boxes and cabinets and showed Xu Zhiyi all the things from Octavia's past.
Unexpectedly, among these items, she actually saw the peach and walnut bracelet she had lost when she was a child.
This bracelet was specially bought for her by Li Zijuan on her twelfth birthday.
It also has her name engraved on it.
After talking about this past incident, Xu Zhiyi sighed at the wonder of fate.
Octavia actually still remembers her when she was 12 years old.
Um?
Wait, why do you feel something is wrong?
"Mr. Ming, let me ask you, did you recognize me when I had a blind date with Wen Xuezhi at Xiaohonglou?"
