Little Sweetheart

Xia Zhijun gave Lu Jiaye a look, and Lu Jiaye quickly slipped away.

Gu Siyi was a little embarrassed to walk too close to Xia Zhijun after Lu Jiaye's teasing, so she waited for Zheng Peipei and the others to come out. The four girls, arm in arm, were chatting and laughing.

A few boys walked in front, Lu Jiaye looked back from time to time, and muttered: "Why are the girls so clingy, they have to hold hands when they walk, it's not like they are dating."

Su Han clicked his tongue and said, "Don't you think you should be the one holding their hands?"

Lu Jiaye had an expression on his face that said 'you know me so well', "That's right… Girls holding hands with girls is a waste of resources."

Zhou Xiao said: "Lu Jiaye, you should hurry up and find a girlfriend, you are so restless every day, you have to be taught a lesson by a girl to calm down."

"I want to, but where can I find one? Does the school give them out?"

Su Han laughed: "There are so many classmates in the class, isn't there even one you like?"

"There are, it's just…" Lu Jiaye's wandering eyes fell on Xia Zhijun, with a look of hesitation.

Su Han and Zhou Xiao said in unison: "No chance."

"…Damn it!" Lu Jiaye was extremely frustrated.

Xia Zhijun, who had been quiet all this time, walked lazily with his hands in his pockets, and said coldly, "Don't even think about having any ideas about Gu Siyi."

Lu Jiaye: "……!!!"

His heart was frantically accusing: You want to keep her for yourself, don't you?

Su Han laughed, "Everyone knows what you are thinking…"

Zhou Xiao followed with a laugh, "Don't say it, we are still good friends."

Xia Zhijun's sharp eyes swept over, Su Han laughed again, "I was talking about Lu Jiaye wanting to find a girlfriend, everyone knows what he is thinking." Zhou Xiao: "Don't say it, we are still good friends with Lu Jiaye."

Lu Jiaye: "Damn it! I've taken all the blame, what else can I say?"

While the boys in front were chatting and laughing, the girls behind them were also gossiping while looking at them.

Xiang Li whispered: "They are all so tall, are they the tallest boys in our class?"

Zhang Xinyi smiled and said: "The male god group must be at least 1.8 meters tall. Which one do you think is the most handsome?"

"Xia Zhijun."

"Xia Zhijun."

"Xia Zhijun."

Zhang Xinyi: "Okay, I think it's Xia Zhijun too."

Zheng Peipei chuckled, "There is no dispute about this question, the school grass is recognized by all the girls in the school. Let's say, excluding Xia Zhijun, who is the most handsome among the other three?"

Xiang Li: "I think Lu Jiaye is quite interesting, kind of cute, and handsome."

Zheng Peipei disdainfully said: "He is the kind of person who talks nonsense, he looks like a playboy. He also has a rich father, I don't know how many girls he will play with in the future."

Zhang Xinyi said: "I think Zhou Xiao is very handsome and manly, he is cold and doesn't talk much, he is cool, and he is very straightforward in his actions. I heard that he won the championship in the Sanda competition, he is super powerful."

Zheng Peipei said: "That kind of person who can't even fart, it's very tiring to get along with him, he's just like Xia Zhijun, not easy to get along with. I think Su Han is good, he looks like a flower boy from a Korean drama, and he is very gentlemanly, being with him gives you a feeling of spring breeze. I like this kind of sweet little dog."

The three of them each had their own opinions, and finally gave the right to speak to Gu Siyi.

"Siyi, you say, which of the three of them is the most handsome? Your vote is the most crucial."

Gu Siyi thought and thought, and in the expectation of her sisters, she said: "…Can I abstain?"

"Tsk!" "Boring!" "Fence-sitter!" The three of them expressed their contempt at the same time.

Gu Siyi: "…" QAQ

She only knew that Xia Zhijun was very handsome, because she had only seen him up close. As for the other boys, she didn't have the right to speak without careful observation.

Gu Siyi: "Let's not talk about this, if they hear it… maybe they won't take us to dinner."

This time, the three of them agreed and cleverly changed the subject.

When they arrived at the school gate, Xia Zhijun called two cars.

He watched the girls get into the car, told the driver an address, and then went to the other car.

With only four girls in the private space of the car, everyone became lively again.

Xiang Li said excitedly: "I don't know what the study god is going to treat us to, I'm so looking forward to it!"

Zhang Xinyi smiled so much that she couldn't close her mouth, "I can show off for the entire three years of high school that I was treated to dinner by Xia Zhijun tonight!"

Zheng Peipei said disdainfully: "It's just a meal, look at how promising you two are, can't you learn from Siyi, be more calm and composed."

Gu Siyi woke up from a dream and said: "My mind is full of crayfish, hairy crabs, mantis shrimp, crabs, sea cucumbers, abalone, durian, glutinous rice chicken, marinated chicken feet, crystal shrimp dumplings, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised pork elbow, taro chicken, roast pigeon, barbecue, spicy hot pot, pineapple rice… It's best to have another cup of brown sugar pearl tea."

Zheng Peipei: "…"

After saying that, Gu Siyi sighed, "I'm so looking forward to it."

The car stopped outside a towering skyscraper.

The girls followed Xia Zhijun, got on the elevator.

"Where are we going to eat?" Zheng Peipei asked.

Xia Zhijun said indifferently: "I don't know what you like, so I chose a buffet."

Gu Siyi's eyes lit up, "That's great, I can eat everything I want." She turned her head, looked at Xia Zhijun, compared a heart with her hand, blinked and smiled, "Here you go."

Xia Zhijun curved his lips, his smile quickly subsided, but the smile in his eyes lingered.

Following Xia Zhijun, they arrived at the sky restaurant on the top floor, Xia Zhijun went to the front desk to register and pay, they sat on the sofa on the side and waited. Gu Siyi looked around, the environment is so good, it must be expensive, right?

Walking to Xia Zhijun's side, she glanced at the bill, a buffet for 888 yuan per person, he paid more than 7,000 yuan at once.

Xia Zhijun got the receipt, turned around, and saw Gu Siyi staring at him with wide eyes.

"Let's go, let's go in."

"Come with me for a moment." Gu Siyi pulled Xia Zhijun's sleeve, pulled him to the empty corridor outside, her expression serious, and said in a low voice, "Where did you get so much money? Even if your parents give you a lot of living expenses, you can't be so wasteful, right?"

"No." Xia Zhijun said indifferently, "My monthly living expenses are only one thousand."

Uh… even less than her one thousand? Uncle Xia is so stingy?

"Then where did you get the money? You are still a student and you don't have a job."

"Who said I don't have a job?" Xia Zhijun asked back.

Gu Siyi was asked by him, and then she remembered that last time at his house, he was sitting in front of the computer typing for a long time, and when she asked him what he was doing, he said he was making money.

"Then… even if you have a part-time job and can earn money, you can't spend it like this!" Gu Siyi said with a heartbroken expression, "You work so hard to earn some hard-earned money in your spare time, and you spend it all on one meal? That's not how you treat guests! Let's go eat hot pot, it will cost at most 100 yuan per person, 800 yuan to treat guests to dinner, that's enough."

Xia Zhijun looked at her with a smile, curled his lips, and said slowly: "I didn't expect you to be so good at managing money."

"…??" What the hell? What kind of money management?

"But it's not hard for me to make money, and the reward is higher than you think. Don't worry, I won't go broke from one meal." Xia Zhijun took Gu Siyi's hand and led her away.

Gu Siyi was a little resistant, he grabbed her hand, his big hand firmly held her hand in his palm.

Gu Siyi stared at their clasped hands, her face flushed uncontrollably, and she didn't even know what to say.

The others had already been led by the waiter and seated.

As soon as the two of them came in, a waiter followed them and led them to their seats.

When they approached, Xiang Li saw the two of them, greeted them, and Gu Siyi hurriedly shook off Xia Zhijun's hand.

The waiter chose an eight-seater long table for them, and when Xia Zhijun and Gu Siyi were seated, Lu Jiaye joked, "What can't you two brothers and sisters talk about in front of everyone, you have to pull aside to chat privately?"

Xia Zhijun had an indifferent face. Gu Siyi snorted softly, "I won't tell you."

Lu Jiaye was heartbroken: "Little Jiuwo has changed, I'm so sad…"

Zheng Peipei rolled her eyes at Lu Jiaye, took Gu Siyi's hand, and said, "Don't mind him, come on, let's get something to eat."

Although Gu Siyi felt sorry that this meal would cost him so much money, Xia Zhijun didn't care, so she couldn't do anything about it. It was his own money, he could spend it however he wanted. The only thing she could do was to eat a big meal and eat back the money he spent!

The high consumption here is worth it, the view is good, the restaurant environment is good, and the ingredients are also high-quality and fresh.

Several girls came back with food, the first thing they did was take selfies and take pictures of each other. Originally, Xiang Li and Zhang Xinyi were a little embarrassed, but Zheng Peipei took pictures generously and freely, changing various angles and taking selfies in various ways, so they followed suit calmly.

Gu Siyi concentrated on dealing with the food in front of her, occasionally Zheng Peipei asked her to look up, she would cooperate and look up, compare a pair of scissors hands to the camera, and then lower her head to continue eating.

They were happy to take pictures and eat.

Zheng Peipei took a breather, looked at Gu Siyi who was eating like a little hamster, and sighed, "Why don't you get fat even though you can eat so much?"

Gu Siyi waited until all the food in the bowl was finished, and said with satisfaction: "I also like to exercise."

Xia Zhijun sat opposite Gu Siyi, he brought a plate of shrimp, put on gloves and began to peel, pinch the head and tail to remove the shrimp line.

By the time he peeled a plate of clear shrimp, Lu Jiaye was drooling.

Lu Jiaye was about to take the opportunity to ask for it, but saw Xia Zhijun put the plate of shrimp next to Gu Siyi's hand, "Eat this."

Gu Siyi looked at the plate of shrimp, blinked, raised her eyelashes, looked at Xia Zhijun and asked, "You peeled it?"

"Eat it." Xia Zhijun said indifferently, then ate his steak slowly.

Gu Siyi picked up a piece, dipped it in seafood soy sauce, and put it in her mouth, it was fresh, delicate, and pure.

"Little Jiuwo, let me try it too." Lu Jiaye raised his hand and wanted to pick up a piece with his chopsticks.

Gu Siyi immediately moved the plate to her own territory, "No, I don't have enough for myself."

Zheng Peipei saw this scene, so she also took a plate of shrimp, handed it to Su Han, and said, "I don't know how to peel shrimp shells, can you peel it for me?"

Su Han smiled and started to put on a pair of disposable gloves, "It's my honor to serve Miss Wildcat."

Zheng Peipei smiled and propped her chin, watching him peel.

"What kind of trend is this, boys have to peel shrimp for girls?" Lu Jiaye rolled up his sleeves, looked at Xiang Li and said, "I decided not to follow the usual path, Little Lizi, come and peel it for me, okay?"

Xiang Li immediately said: "Okay." She happily peeled shrimp for him.

Zheng Peipei rolled her eyes at Lu Jiaye: You're so shameless to order a child around!

Lu Jiaye returned a smug look.

After dinner, Lu Jiaye suggested, "It's still early, how about going to sing? It's on me."

Before Gu Siyi could answer, Xia Zhijun said, "I'm taking Gu Siyi to buy books, you guys go have fun."

Lu Jiaye: "What kind of books are you buying? Let's talk about it next time. Don't give me face if I treat you."

Zheng Peipei: "Don't spoil the fun, let's play together."

Gu Siyi said: "I'm waiting to study with these books, I need them urgently."

So, with Xia Zhijun and Gu Siyi singing the same tune, the two parted ways with the large group.

Gu Siyi followed Xia Zhijun, full of food and drink, in a good mood, she smiled and asked: "What books are you taking me to buy? Are they super useful tutoring books?"

Xia Zhijun didn't answer, walked to a self-service bank outside, stopped, and said, "Wait for me for a while."

"Oh." Gu Siyi stood still obediently.

After a while, Xia Zhijun came out, took out four thousand yuan in cash and handed it to Gu Siyi, "This is to pay back Lu Ming's four thousand."

Gu Siyi was startled, and hurriedly said: "I have money! I'm ready!"

Xia Zhijun asked: "Where did you get the money? Did you explain the matter to your parents, or did you deduct it from your living expenses?"

Gu Siyi muttered: "I didn't tell them, if I told them, my mother would definitely be worried, especially since I'm living at school now. It's better not to let parents know about these things, so that they won't worry."

"Then you deducted it from your living expenses?"

"Next month's living expenses, and I'll borrow some from Zheng Peipei and the others…" Gu Siyi confessed everything under Xia Zhijun's gaze.

"You might as well borrow from me instead of them, I have enough spare money." Xia Zhijun took Gu Siyi's hand and put the money in her hand.

Gu Siyi refused to take it, and when the two were in a stalemate, Xia Zhijun said, "Didn't you say that I am your best friend? Now you would rather ask others for help than accept the help of your best friend?"

"That's not it…"

"What is it?" Xia Zhijun stared and asked. One hand grabbed her hand holding the money, the other hand lifted up and held her earlobe. Gu Siyi was startled.

He rubbed it, and said slowly: "I'm not your best friend anymore? Hmm?"

"…" Gu Siyi panicked, her ears were hot, her palms were hot, she felt that her whole body was firmly controlled by Xia Zhijun, nailed in place, unable to move.

Like a quail, she buried her head, under the street lamp, he saw her earlobe and a section of her white neck.

Xia Zhijun's Adam's apple rolled, he looked away, restraining the inexplicable urge to invade.

Xia Zhijun suddenly let go of his hand, Gu Siyi was afraid that the money would fly away, so she subconsciously grabbed the stack of money.

Xia Zhijun took a step back, turned around, put his hands in his pockets, and walked forward, "If I'm still your best friend, you can take the money."

His tone was flat, neither commanding nor forceful.

But that calm tone made Gu Siyi feel uncomfortable.

She ran a few steps forward, kept up with him, walked beside him and said, "Yes, you are."

Xia Zhijun didn't stop, and continued to walk forward, Gu Siyi hurriedly followed him, her heart was a little flustered, she was inexplicably panicked, afraid that he would be unhappy, afraid that he would alienate her in the future, afraid that she would become a passerby to him just like everyone else… In just tens of seconds, her heart was tormented, Gu Siyi couldn't bear it anymore, and blurted out, "Okay, okay, I'll take it, thank you! I'll try to pay you back as soon as possible!"

Xia Zhijun stopped and looked at her and said, "I don't need money, you can pay it back slowly, just pay it off before graduating from high school."

"…" Gu Siyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She put the stack of money into the small pocket of her satchel and zipped it up.

Looking up at Xia Zhijun again, she obviously found that his eyes had softened.

What should I do if the study god has a strong personality? Of course, I choose to listen to him! He is handsome and has good grades!

Gu Siyi smiled obediently and asked him, "What kind of tutoring books are you taking me to buy?"

She was really looking forward to the study god taking her to buy some high-quality tutoring books, and strive to make another sprint before the mid-term exam.

"Those tutoring books are all scams, if you want them so much, I might as well write them for you."

"…" But didn't you just say that you would take me to buy books?

Xia Zhijun saw the doubt in Gu Siyi's eyes, and said indifferently: "I just brought you here to get the money, let's go, back to school."

"Oh…" She was happy for nothing.

"Wait, I'll compile an exercise book for you." Xia Zhijun raised his hand and rubbed the back of her head. He couldn't stand her drooping head, a little aggrieved and depressed.

Uh… he will compile it for her?

Of course, Gu Siyi didn't doubt that Xia Zhijun had the ability to write questions, but was it too troublesome?
