After dinner, Tang Lingfei took Song Xingye to Xu Zhe's house and played for a while.
Seeing that the night is getting darker, it is time for the girls to go home. But Xu Zhe noticed that Song Xingye was sitting aside quietly in a daze, as if he had something on his mind.
He reminded: "It's a bit late, shall we go home?"
Tang Lingfei: "Okay, but Xiao Zizi..."
Xu Zhe: "I'll take her home."
As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Lingfei smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's go out now."
Then the three boys and girls went out, first sending Tang Lingfei to the door of the house, and then Xu Zhe sent Song Xingye back. Just when waving goodbye, Tang Lingfei said: "Goodbye, brother."
This made Xu Zhe's heart tighten slightly.
When he walked out of the community, he quietly observed the expression of the other girl next to him, but he didn't see any clues.
He suddenly asked: "Is this the advice you gave Feifei?"
"What suggestions?" Song Xingye thought for a moment and then responded, "Oh, are you talking about siblings?"
Xu Zhe nodded.
Song Xingye smiled lightly: "She wants to recognize you as her brother. I encourage you to speak out bravely, and then... I see that you don't seem to object."
"Yeah, there's nothing to object to."
Xu Zhe's tone was also very calm. He was wondering if Tang Lingfei did what he did because his affair with Shen Lan was discovered. But since the other party didn't take the initiative to bring it up, it was hard for him to say anything.
After walking a while further, Xu Zhe suddenly said: "I'm going to the provincial capital next week and I have some things to do."
Song Xingye suddenly stopped.
Xu Zhe turned around and stared at her, explaining: "Shen Lan went to the Northeast to play a competition, and I was alone in the provincial capital. I have to visit my grandparents and some other business..."
The girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "Do you want to rent a house near the school?"
Hearing this, Xu Zhe couldn't help but be shocked: "How did you know?"
Song Xingye smiled and said: "Actually, I have been guessing whether you would rent a house outside the school in high school. You have a lot of money, and you don't seem to like making friends with others, and you still have to play games... If I were you If so, I will definitely rent a house. And I heard that parents in Experimental High School rent a house every year to accompany them to study. Now that another senior year of high school has graduated, there will definitely be a lot of room."
Xu Zhe was stunned for a few seconds and muttered: "The logic is indeed not complicated, but if you can think of this, you really have your heart."
He originally thought he needed to explain, but unexpectedly, his intentions had been predicted by the girl in front of him.
Song Xingye raised his face slightly: "Of course, I am concerned about employment issues."
Xu Zhe: "Employment issue?"
Song Xingye: "Yes, my own employment problem. In the three years of high school, you have to play games and start a business, so I can't be idle."
Xu Zhe already realized what she wanted to say, and deliberately put on a rigid and serious expression: "You have to study hard."
Song Xingye smiled slightly: "While studying hard, you should also hone your life skills. In the future, when you go to college, you will still need the ability to take care of yourself. It just so happens that I have a job now that can help me hone my life skills and develop my self-care ability..."
Xu Zhe said warily: "You're not still thinking about being a maid, are you?"
Song Xingye frowned slightly: "Isn't it possible to do a free internship?"
Xu Zhe: "It's not about money. The key is that I'm really not used to having multiple people around me! Do you know why I want to rent a house? I actually want to apply to a new school this time, so don't arrange it for me." I’m in the dormitory, just let me live outside alone. I don’t want to go out and live on weekends, I want to be alone all the time. I’m not used to having many people around me.”
Song Xingye fell silent. The rhetoric he had thought up before became particularly weak under Xu Zhe's confession.
So the next moment, the girl couldn't help but blush.
Xu Zhe was a little panicked: "Uh, don't cry..."
If you really cry now and use your tears to win the sympathy of your sweetheart, is it possible? It seemed feasible, but Song Xingye didn't want to do it.
She suddenly felt like she was a little redundant. After all, Xu Zhe is fine by himself, so he really doesn't need girls to disturb him, right? Whether it's Feifei or himself, and perhaps Senior Shen Lan, Xu Zhe wants to keep a distance from everyone, just because he doesn't want the trouble caused by the girl to drag down his business...
Song Xingye couldn't help but start to think, if he disappeared directly, would Xu Zhe feel relaxed instead?
But this cannot be said directly. Otherwise, with his consistent kindness, the girl knew that she would definitely be comforted and even accommodated. However, it was just a matter of being careful when facing other girls in the Shura Field. She didn't want to burden Xu Zhe with such small thoughts.
So she tried her best to put on her usual calm smile and said, "It's okay with me, let's go."
But as soon as the words came out of her mouth, she realized that Xu Zhe raised his hand and touched her cheek. Then she realized that the boy was wiping her tears, and his strength was still so gentle.
It turned out that I really shed tears.
Xu Zhe whispered: "You may have misunderstood what I meant. It's not that I hate having you around, I'm just more used to being alone. Moreover, I'm worried that if you stay around me, it will affect your study. "
The girl still wanted to keep calm, but now she couldn't hold herself any longer.
She choked and asked, "Do you think... I'm a fool?"
Xu Zhe: "Huh? Of course you are not stupid. You are one of the smartest girls I have ever seen."
Song Xingye: "I want to go to college with you, so I have to work hard. How can I do it if I don't work hard! Are you so unsure of my self-control?"
Xu Zhe sighed: "Well, your self-control is indeed strong, probably better than mine."
"I..." Song Xingye was about to continue, but suddenly realized that what he just said, "I want to go to college with you," seemed to be close to a confession.
But what if you confess your love and are rejected? The scene when Feifei's classmate was rejected by Xu Zhe is still fresh in her memory.
And even if it wasn't such a strong and categorical rejection, just confessing to her would seriously violate the agreement between herself and Feifei.
She felt that it was one thing to sneak away, but it was another thing to cheat directly to the finish line.
Fortunately, Xu Zhe didn't press on about 'going to college together'.
Facing the girl's tears and sincerity, he scratched the back of his head and felt quite complicated. He did feel that it was a bit troublesome, but he was a little more happy than expected.
After all, being liked by such a cute and beautiful girl is a pleasant thing in itself.
So he hesitated and said: "Then let's talk about work again..."
