The next day after school.
Lin Jianzhi had never rushed out of the school grounds so eagerly before, even ignoring Mu Yin yelling from behind to treat her to milk tea.
She wanted to hurry home, to see Zhu Liheng earlier.
Although it was for tutoring...
But just as she rushed out of the school gate, she saw a familiar Audi A6 parked across the street.
Zhu Liheng's tall figure walked out of a milk tea shop, holding two cups of milk tea in his hands.
Lin Jianzhi had run out like crazy, out of breath. Seeing this scene, she almost forgot to breathe and suffocated herself.
Across the street, Zhu Liheng was stunned for a moment, then raised the milk tea in his hands and shook it at her. Then he got into the driver's seat.
Lin Jianzhi felt somewhat at a loss and also had some small expectations.
Did he come to pick her up?
She saw the Audi A6 make a U-turn and then stop at the school gate, stopping right next to her.
Lin Jianzhi was so nervous that her hands were shaking. She carefully walked up.
What if she was just wishful thinking?
Just then the car window rolled down, and Zhu Liheng waved at her, "I bought you some milk tea."
It was like a flower blooming in her heart, sweet like floral nectar.
Lin Jianzhi didn't even know how obvious her excitement was in that moment, the word "happy" was practically written on her face.
The corners of Zhu Liheng's mouth curled up in a smile. After she got into the passenger seat, he pointed at the two cups of milk tea, "Caramel and matcha, which one do you like?"
Lin Jianzhi: "I..." Like you. "Caramel." She said softly.
Zhu Liheng handed her the caramel milk tea, turning the steering wheel, "Why did you get out so early today?"
He hadn't timed it right.
Lin Jianzhi didn't dare say that she had rushed out. She had packed up her schoolbag early and flew out as soon as the bell rang for class to end.
She didn't expect that Zhu Liheng would come to pick her up from school again.
Why?
Could it be that he also had a little bit of feelings for her...
"Lin Jianzhi! Ah ah ah!!!"
Suddenly there was a shriek from outside the car window, interrupting Lin Jianzhi's wild speculations.
She saw Mu Yin standing outside the car window, staring at her and gesturing wildly, with an extremely exaggerated expression.
Behind her there was also a large group of classmates who had caught wind of the news, especially monitor Lang Shu, who ran over very quickly.
Lin Jianzhi almost spit out her milk tea!
"Hurry, hurry up and go."
She was practically begging as she spoke. More subconsciously, she pulled Zhu Liheng's clothes with her left hand.
Zhu Liheng glanced outside the window and smiled as he started the car.
And Lin Jianzhi’s group of classmates behind were still desperately chasing and shouting after the car.
Jiang Jingyi: “Lin Jianzhi, you liar!”
Quan Kaiji: “So you really are dating Zhu Liheng!”
Lang Shu: “Stop the car! Damn! Let me take a picture before you go!”
Mu Yin: "No wonder you don't want to drink my milk tea, your boyfriend buys it for you!"
Lin Jianzhi didn't dare to respond at all. She closed the car window as fast as possible.
It was over, over, over!
Zhu Liheng heard it all!
Her face flushed red-hot. Looking at the retreating street scene outside the window, she had long lost any desire to drink her milk tea. With the corner of her eye she subtly glanced at Zhu Liheng next to her focusing on driving the car, he didn't show much expression, as if he hadn't heard the shouts from earlier at all.
Neither of them spoke, and Lin Jianzhi felt like she was sitting on pins and needles!
Finally at an intersection, she really couldn't stand the scorching yet oppressive atmosphere any longer.
She took the initiative to speak: "Are you, are you coming over for dinner at my house today?"
Zhu Liheng pointed at the dishes in the back seat: "I bought some dishes, won't come over for the meal. Please tell your mother thanks again for dinner yesterday, it was very delicious."
Lin Jianzhi: "Okay."
She didn't even know what to say!
Zhu Liheng glanced at her, "I came to pick you up because I bought dishes, not picking you up means your mom was asking me over for dinner at your place."
"Oh, alright." Lin Jianzhi's head went completely blank all of a sudden.
Strange, that was really strange.
It sounded like he was trying to explain and account to her about something?
The stoplight ahead was red.
Zhu Liheng suddenly turned to look at her.
Lin Jianzhi shrank back reflexively!
Their eyes met, and the mood grew even more awkward.
Zhu Liheng paused for a moment, then reached behind to grab a box of tissues and handed it to her.
This Lin Jianzhi really was like a little white rabbit.
So timid and jittery, very easily stressed.
He didn't even dare make any big movements, or say anything much, afraid of shocking her.
Only then did Lin Jianzhi realize that without paying attention, some milk tea had spilled onto her clothes.
So Zhu Liheng was just grabbing her some napkins.
How embarrassing!
And so in this extremely awkward atmosphere, the two returned to their housing complex.
Zhu Liheng parked the car and walked with Lin Jianzhi into the elevator.
He rapidly pressed floor 10 and 11, then said, "Eat dinner quickly then come over for tutoring early."
Lin Jianzhi lowered her head: "Okay."
Ding—
The elevator stopped on the 10th floor, Zhu Liheng walked out. With the corner of his eye he subtly glanced at the bottom right corner.
Lin Jianzhi's entire person was curled up in the bottom right corner...
The elevator doors closed.
Lin Jianzhi felt her legs go soft as she took deep breaths like crazy.
Just now she really almost suffocated!
She always felt that Zhu Liheng was observing her!
She hoped Zhu Liheng would notice her, but also hoped he wouldn't notice...
This kind of thinking was so self-contradictory, it was killing her!
Ding—
The elevator stopped on the 11th floor. Lin Jianzhi leaned against the wall as she walked out, opened the door, and changed shoes.
Dinner was already on the table. Lin's Mother called her over to eat.
Lin's Father even more urged: "Hurry up and eat then go tutor. Little Zhu said you made great progress after tutoring yesterday?"
Lin Jianzhi threw down her schoolbag and rushed into her room: "Let me change clothes first."
She absolutely didn't want to meet Zhu Liheng wearing her milk tea stained uniform.
She quickly changed into casual wear and quickly finished eating her meal. Just as she was about to head out she turned back.
Was she being too fast?
What would Zhu Liheng think if she went so quickly?
Imagining herself swallowing down a whole bowlful of rice in one gulp like yesterday???
Who knew at this time, Lin's Mother slapped the back of her head: "Stop dilly-dallying! Don't keep Little Zhu waiting!"
Lin Jianzhi didn't care about anything else anymore, grabbed her schoolbag and went downstairs.
The front door was slightly ajar. She lightly knocked.
"Come in yourself." Zhu Liheng's voice came from inside.
Lin Jianzhi pushed the door open and walked in. She discovered a pair of new pink slippers placed in front of her.
The corners of her mouth curled up uncontrollably.
She changed into the pink slippers and walked further inside. Zhu Liheng was already waiting for her in the room.
Still two chairs set side by side very close together.
Lin Jianzhi's heart suddenly started racing. After putting down her schoolbag she subtly shifted her chair a bit farther away.
It was too close, she would go crazy!
Zhu Liheng was rapidly typing away on the computer. Without even raising his head he said, "Continue doing the questions I circled for you yesterday."
The obedient Lin Jianzhi spread open her workbook and started on her share of problems for the day.
She had just picked up her pen...
A large hand suddenly reached over, grabbing under her chair.
Rip—!
The chair and her were dragged over a distance together.
The two chairs were touching again!
Lin Jianzhi felt her entire body shake for a moment, like that pendulum moving from side to side thirty degrees.
Her shoulder bumped Zhu Liheng.
The refreshing scent surrounded her, the air heating up.
She was confused!
Zhu Liheng: "Stay closer to me."
Boom—!
It was like a volcano erupting in Lin Jianzhi's mind!
Zhu Liheng: "With me checking your work as you do problems, it's inconvenient if you're too far away."
Lin Jianzhi's voice trembled: "Okay."
