MTL - Back To the Past To Fall In Love-Chapter 59
Not surprisingly, it really is Xia Qian.
Although the head teacher didn't say her name, when she arrived at the club classroom in the afternoon, Xia Qian was already shouting in the classroom.
"... Is there any mistake? This time the physics can be full of points. The last question is obviously super outline.
Xu Ziran thought to herself: This girl has a bigger heart than she imagined.
It was obvious that last time, Qiu Yurou would be angry because Qiu Yurou was better than her in the exam, but now she will complain.
Xu Ziran heard Xia Qian's voice before entering the classroom, so she couldn't help but say to Qiu Yurou, "You should be careful, she's going to give you a battle letter again."
Qiu Yurou was noncommittal.
When they entered the classroom, Xia Qian really rushed over, walked over to Qiu Yurou and stared at her face for a long time, and Xu Ziran who was staring at her felt terrified before she said, "How does your brain grow? "
While speaking, she raised her hand and stretched out to Qiu Yurou's hand. Qiu Yurou frowned slightly and turned her face to one side, but she was still too slow and caught her hair.
Xu Ziran frowned when he saw it, and couldn't help but say, "Don't do anything."
Seeing Qiu Yurou's unhappy expression, Xia Qian withdrew her hand and said, "Qiu Yurou, isn't it your birthday tomorrow? Do you want to come out for dinner?"
After she said this, Xu Ziran was taken aback. She originally thought that only she knew Qiu Yurou's birthday, but she didn't expect Xia Qian to know it too.
As soon as Xia Qian said these words, the entire classroom burst into chaos.
Zhang Xuan said loudly: "It's actually tomorrow, why didn't you say it earlier?"
Tian Jiaqi was also surprised, looked at Xu Ziran and asked, "Do you know cumin, is it tomorrow?"
Xu Ziran originally thought that Qiu Yurou would not like a too noisy environment, and just wanted to give her a birthday in private, but she didn't expect Xia Qian to tell it - the problem is, she knew that Qiu Yurou's birthday was nothing unusual, Xia Qian How did you know?
Xu Ziran couldn't help but ask, "How did you know?"
Xia Qian said: "I went to the office to help the teacher to mark the test papers. I saw the personnel registration form of your class and read it."
After hearing this, Xu Ziran admired Xia Qian's attention to details, but for some reason she was a little unhappy.
After thinking about it, she felt that she might be complaining that Xia Qian had shaken this matter out, so that it became troublesome for so many people to know about it.
In this case, even if you want to live in private, it seems inappropriate.
Xu Ziran felt that this birthday might turn into a gathering of people, but Qiu Yurou said without changing her face, "I'm not prepared."
She didn't seem to expect such an answer, and Xia Qian was a little surprised: "Is that so? I thought everyone could get together and play together."
Qiu Yurou nodded calmly: "Yes, there is something."
In the evening, there is a parent-teacher meeting. The process of the parent-teacher meeting is usually the first hour for parents and children to be lectured and communicated by the teacher, and the next hour is also a separate communication between parents and teachers.
Everyone in the club did well in the exam, so they were all proud of themselves, and they didn't look nervous and worried at all.
Everyone rested in the classroom, and seeing that it was six o'clock, they went to pick up their parents one after another.
Xu Ziran was also going to go, but seeing that Qiu Yurou had no plans to leave, he asked Tian Jiaqi to pick up Xu's mother by the way, and he stayed with Qiu Yurou in the classroom for a while.
Tian Jiaqi was reluctant at first, and pouted: "She is not a child, she wants you to accompany her."
But later, thinking of Qiu Yurou's family situation, and how the other party took good care of her before, she reluctantly agreed to it.
The people in the classroom gradually disappeared, leaving only Xu Ziran and Qiu Yurou.
As the sky was getting dark, Xu Ziran turned on the lights in the classroom, not knowing what to say for a while.
Seeing Qiu Yurou's reaction, her mother should not come to the parent-teacher meeting again.
But not coming was actually expected. After all, even if Shen Feiyao really cared about Qiu Yurou, with how busy she was at work, it would be difficult for her to be just free today.
Xu Ziran guessed that Qiu Yurou was sad, but she didn't know how to comfort her.
All words of consolation are too pale in this situation.
However, when Qiu Yurou saw that Xu Ziran didn't speak, she thought that she was too gloomy and affected Xu Ziran, so she quickly found a topic and said, "Although I told Xia Qian about something just now, I just wanted to invite you to my house for your birthday alone. "
Xu Ziran said, "Of course I know. Speaking of which, did Aunt Chen tell you what meals to prepare tomorrow?"
The two talked for a long time without nutrition. Seeing that the sky was completely dark, the noisy campus also began to quiet down.
Xu Ziran sighed secretly, and said calmly: "It seems to be about to start, let's go too."
Qiu Yurou nodded slightly and stood up from her seat.
Her expression was as calm as usual, and she couldn't see any thoughts.
Xu Ziran's heart tightened, and he couldn't help walking over, holding Qiu Yurou's hand firmly.
She had never thought before that Qiu Yurou had such a heavy heart.
The future Qiu Yurou always seemed so familiar, as if there was nothing in this world worthy of her concern, but now Xu Ziran knew a little, maybe at that time, Qiu Yurou had already put aside all that she cared about.
Something that would have brought something heavy, sad.
Sweat gradually oozes out of the soft palm, Qiu Yurou's somewhat surprised eyes at Xu Ziran's actions calmed down in Xu Ziran's determined expression.
"I'll always be by your side."
Xu Ziran said.
Qiu Yurou's eyes sparkled in the light: "I will too."
The dry heat of summer gradually faded away in the dark night that slowly walked away, and the breeze floated amid the cicadas.
…
When Xu Ziran and Qiu Yurou arrived in the classroom, the parent-teacher meeting had already started. They sneaked in through the back door, but of course they were discovered. The English teacher who was speaking at this time gave them a blank look.
Although he rolled his eyes, he still had a smile on his face.
The treatment received by people with good grades is really different.
Xu Ziran slipped to her seat, her mother tried to pretend to be angry at first, but when she got to the side, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Second place?"
Xu Ziran's result this time is the second in the class, because her English score is higher than Cheng Haoyan, and she also ranks 12th in the whole grade. This is an amazing improvement, and Xu's eyes are almost out of sight.
Seeing her mother so happy, Xu Ziran couldn't help but want to laugh. At the same time, she was surprised. She never thought that she could make her mother so happy with her good grades.
Happier than ever.
Xu Ziran thought, perhaps in the minds of parents, their children will never grow up, so the achievements brought by student status will always make them happier.
Because the teacher was speaking on the podium, Mother Xu didn't say much, but every time she heard the teacher's praise, she would always smile like a flower, and her eyes were faintly smug.
The parents sat in the student's seat. According to normal circumstances, Xu Ziran should be standing on the side like other students, but because Qiu Yurou's mother didn't come, Xu Ziran and Qiu Yurou sat in the same chair, half of you and half of me, side by side. Sitting in rows.
The electric fan was constantly turning overhead, bringing in a cool breeze. For the first time, Xu Ziran felt that parents would be so comfortable.
It's completely a commendation meeting for their group.
At first, Xu Ziran bowed her head shyly and blushed, but then she didn't even bother to pretend to be shy, so she and Qiu Yurou looked at each other and smiled, sharing each other's pride.
Although, Qiu Yurou may be unhappy.
The first phase is coming to an end, so the teachers have finished speaking, and the classroom starts to get noisy as the parents start talking to their children.
Xu Ziran patiently listened to the complacent mother Xu, who was about to fly, speak humbly to other parents—
"There's nowhere, I play at home all day, I don't know when to do my homework..."
"That's right, children are playful, but they should be aware of it..."
"...I don't care, what do you care about, the child now, if you want to teach her a lesson, she is more sensible than you said."
…
Xu Ziran couldn't bear it on the side, and regardless of her mother's arrogance, she said to Qiu Yurou, "Go home later and be careful, it's so late now..."
Halfway through her words, she stopped because of Qiu Yurou's sudden change in expression.
She followed Qiu Yurou's gaze towards the door, and couldn't help but look surprised.
And Xu's mother said in surprise: "This is not Qiu Yurou's mother, why did you arrive now."
Shen Feiyao appeared at the door, making the noisy classroom quiet for a moment.
Probably because the other party's temperament is incompatible with most housewives here, the white suit wraps the slender body, and the expression is both tired and excited.
She asked the teacher on the side, "I'm sorry for being late, is it almost over now?"
After getting a negative answer, Shen Feiyao walked to Qiu Yurou's position and said with a smile, "I'm sorry Rourou, I'm late."
Qiu Yurou and Xu Ziran had already stood up, Qiu Yurou's expression was neither happy nor unhappy, she smiled, but it didn't look like she was laughing to the bottom of her eyes.
But Xu Ziran was happy for Qiu Yurou, she thought, it seems that after the last time, Qiu's mother has subconsciously changed.
However, the trauma of this kind of relationship, of course, is not so easy to heal, and it takes a constant period of time to cover.
It didn't take long for the students to leave one after another. Xu Ziran and Qiu Yurou were about to leave, but Shen Feiyao stopped Qiu Yurou and said, "Rourou, wait for your mother to take you with you."
Qiu Yurou simply refused: "No need."
Shen Feiyao smiled and said, "Wait for me to finish, we will stay at a hotel near the airport in the evening. I took a leave and bought a ticket for tomorrow morning. Let's go to Hainan for a holiday and help you celebrate your birthday, okay?"
This time, Qiu Yurou hesitated for half a second before saying, "Well...don't."
Shen Feiyao couldn't stop laughing: "Why, mother originally wanted to surprise you."
Qiu Yurou frowned: "You disrupted my plan, why didn't you tell me beforehand?"
Shen Feiyao said: "Your plan? What plan do you have, we can discuss it."
Qiu Yurou said, "I'm going to celebrate my birthday at home, and Aunt Chen has already promised to cook my favorite dishes for me."
Shen Feiyao opened his mouth to speak, but Xu Ziran couldn't stand the other party's appearance that he was about to screw up everything, and said quickly, "There are still many opportunities for negotiation. You can think about it, and you can talk about it when you go back."
Because of Qiu Yurou's confession last time, Shen Feiyao actually looked at Xu Ziran quite unpleasantly, and subconsciously wanted to refute. But she is not a child after all. After thinking about it carefully, she knew that Xu Ziran was implying that they should calm down and think about it, so she said, "Okay, then you go first, we will talk about it later."
Because of this conversation, Xu Ziran and Qiu Yurou were one step late, and the students in the corridor had already left. Xu Ziran looked at Qiu Yurou's expression, and felt that he could know that the other party was not happy without the need for a system reminder.
But she couldn't guess why Qiu Yurou was unhappy.
If Qiu Yurou was disappointed that Shen Feiyao didn't come to participate in the parents' meeting before, but Shen Feiyao obviously came after a long time, why is Qiu Yurou unhappy?
Because Shen Feiyao came too late?
Xu Ziran didn't think Qiu Yurou was such a willful person. If even she could sense Shen Feiyao's painstaking efforts and fatigue, Qiu Yurou should also be able to sense it.
Xu Ziran began to swipe down the system unconsciously, wondering if the system could give her a hint.
The last task refreshed by the system is [target person's birthday], and other than that, it is today's daily task.
birthday...
Xu Ziran thought, is it because Qiu Yurou didn't want to give up the previous agreement with her, but actually wanted to hang out with her mother, so she became unhappy because of the entanglement?
She felt that this explanation was more reasonable, so she pondered and said: "Actually, if you want to go to Hainan tomorrow, you can go to Hainan first."
Qiu Yurou revealed a surprised look: "Why?"
"Well... haven't you already bought the air tickets?"
Qiu Yurou looked down at the shadows of the two on the ground: "Do you want me to go?"
- Do you want me to go?
Xu Ziran was stunned by Qiu Yurou's question.
She imagined a lot of what to say next, but she didn't expect Qiu Yurou to ask such a question.
Since she asked such a conversation, does it mean that the other party does not want to go on vacation with Shen Feiyao as she guessed, or does she hope that she will give a positive answer?
Xu Ziran didn't know when she became such a tangled person. She didn't even realize that she was getting more and more entangled in the conversation with Qiu Yurou.
But the urgency of giving an answer did not allow her to think more.
What about her life experience? Did her life experience tell her what to say in such a situation?
In these two or two seconds, she looked up at Qiu Yurou.
Through Qiu Yurou's face at this time, she seemed to see the cold but focused gaze of Qiu Yurou in the future.
"I... Of course I don't want you to go." Xu Ziran said, "After all, I didn't say it before, I'm still looking forward to it."
She gave the answer in her heart.
- If you start to sway around a question, say the answer you really want in your heart, because the value of another false answer is not enough for you to say it, why should you hesitate?
Many years later, Qiu Yurou said this.
"What kind of false answer is worth more than the truth?" Xu Ziran then asked at that time.
"That fake answer will tell you the answer." Qiu Yurou said.
Now that I think about it, the future Qiu Yurou always seems to say some strange and inherently pessimistic words, as if... as if...
Xu Ziran thought, compared with the current Qiu Yurou, the attitude of the future Qiu Yurou is as if her life has already experienced countless worst possibilities.
If this is true, Xu Ziran doesn't want Qiu Yurou to meet him in this life.
Those words, she hoped that Qiu Yurou would not say them again.
She hopes that the other party can feel a lot of love, so as to dispel the haze in front of her.
And this love will not be a hindrance.
"Although I hope to spend your birthday with you, it would be great if you spend it with your mother. After all, going on vacation requires more preparation. Our party can be anytime." Xu Ziran looked at Qiu Yurou's expression. face, so seriously.
She hoped that Qiu Yurou could understand that there was absolutely no coercion in her words.
She believed that Qiu Yurou could understand.
Qiu Yurou raised her head with a relaxed smile.
"But instead of going on vacation, you and I want to be with you."
Xu Ziran was a little surprised: "Really? But your mother finally took a leave of absence, right?"
"What's wrong with taking a break at home? Speaking of which, what time are you coming tomorrow?"
The two of them made more specific plans for tomorrow and walked to the garage together.
Thinking about it, Tian Jiaqi and the others were waiting in the garage, so they should be in a hurry.
Xia Qian stood behind a pillar in the corridor and saw Qiu Yurou and Xu Ziran gradually walking away. She didn't hear the conversation they had just heard clearly, but she vaguely heard that it was about tomorrow's birthday.
So she leaned against the wall and let out a long sigh.
…
Xu Ziran used to... No, to be precise, it was gifts for Qiu Yurou in the future, usually brand accessories or cosmetics, so when she thought about what to give to Qiu Yurou this time, she really struggled.
Now asking her to send some things from the little girls, even if Qiu Yurou would not be unhappy, Xu Ziran himself felt that it was meaningless, but Xu Ziran thought it was worth giving... To be honest, it was really a shame.
This has been entangled for a long time, and on the 22nd, Xu Ziran took the gift he prepared and came to Qiu Yurou's house.
In the end, it was Aunt Chen who came to open the door, and when she opened the door, her face was both happy and sad. Seeing that Xu Ziran felt nervous, she quickly asked, "What's the matter, is Qiu Yurou at home?"
Aunt Chen said, "I'm here, I'm here, I just don't know why, so I can't think of it."
Xu Ziran originally thought it was something he couldn't think of, but when he went in and took a look, he was immediately happy.
Qiu Yurou and Shen Feiyao came out of the smoke-filled kitchen in dismay, coughing and opening the window.
Shen Feiyao murmured to herself: "Where is the problem? I clearly followed the steps exactly?"
Xu Ziran went over to help them open the window together and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qiu Yurou was embarrassed to say.
Xu Ziran went to the kitchen to take a look, and saw that smoke was coming from the oven, and it was dark nearby.
On the marble-slab table beside it was a plate of charred unknown objects.
This situation looked familiar, Xu Ziran smiled and said, "You make cakes? Why is this happening? Is there less water?"
Shen Feiyao probably felt that it was quite humiliating to be pointed out by a junior, so she didn't speak, she just looked at the cooking book with a sullen face and pondered.
Qiu Yurou talked about the process of making things just now, and Xu Ziran said, "According to your description, it feels like the batter is thinned, but it's hard to say specifically, because even if it is thinned, it won't normally be like this."
Shen Feiyao squinted and asked, "You can make cakes?"
Seeing that Shen Feiyao didn't believe it, Xu Ziran raised her eyebrows and said, "It's a coincidence that I brought a cake that I made myself. Since you all failed, look at mine."
Having said that, she put the gift she brought on the table and asked Qiu Yurou to open it.
Ten years later, one of Xu Ziran's friends—actually Luo Feifei once teased that the best way for a bored woman with no life pressure to pretend that she has a life style, one is baking, the other is raising more meat.
She said this when she came to Xu Ziran's house to eat the biscuits made by Xu Ziran, obviously to mock Xu Ziran. Having said that, this woman who claims to have eaten Michelin all over the world still ate the biscuits made by Xu Ziran. All the light, not at all embarrassed for her mocking the producer.
This incident can show that in addition to Luo Feifei's very cheap mouth, it also shows that Xu Ziran can actually be regarded as entering the house when it comes to baking.
Therefore, after the package was opened, the surprised eyes of everyone present were understandable.
Xu Ziran coughed twice, concealing a smug smile, and pretended to be modest: "The conditions are limited, there is no oven at home, it is made with ordinary pots, but the shape is there, I don't know if it tastes good or not."
Shen Feiyao took the knife and wanted to try cutting it, but Qiu Yurou quickly stopped her and said, "I'll cut it now, what will I do later."
Anyway, after persuading Shen Feiyao to wait for a while before cutting, the four of them cleaned up the kitchen, Aunt Chen hurriedly started to cook dinner, while the other three sat on the sofa, wide-eyed.
After sitting for a while, Qiu Yurou said first: "Mom, you can watch TV here, I went in and played with the computer."
Shen Feiyao hurriedly stopped her and said, "Well, watch TV for a while, dinner will be ready soon."
And along with Shen Feiyao's words, a familiar system sounded—
[Dear host, the road of love is always full of twists and turns, but sincere love will win everyone's understanding and blessings. ] [Add optional tasks to gain the favor of key characters. (ability value 500)]
Xu Ziran stopped, thinking a little tangled in his heart: This system is becoming more and more playable.
