As soon as Chen Xing came in from the back door, Li Man stood in front of him. Her eyes were a little swollen, she must have cried, and she spoke with a strong nasal voice: "Chen Xing, have you fallen in love with someone else?"

Chen Xing smiled wryly in his heart, if you can find such a person, please bring it to me so that I can meet him too, I am quite looking forward to it.

"No." Chen Xing explained helplessly: "We are really not suitable, forget it."

Chen Xing bypassed Li Man and returned to his seat, and Li Man stood there for a while.He returned to his seat stiffly, lay down on the table, buried his face in his arms and wept.

When she went out to eat with her former junior high school classmates this week, she "accidentally" revealed that she was in a relationship with the No. [-] middle school student.Most of the girls like to compare, who has better clothes, whose bag is more expensive, and whose boyfriend is more dazzling.A group of girls were skeptical at first, saying that Colonel No. [-] was aloof and unapproachable, and girls would not even look at him when they sent love letters, and they had never heard of him falling in love.Then everyone booed to meet this school girl. Li Man was a little light under the envious eyes of everyone, and called Chen Xing confidently. The voice of Chen Xing saying that he was going to break up reached other people's ears, and Li Man was a little flustered. The envy from the people around her was completely gone when they looked at her, and only naked mockery and schadenfreude were left. Li Man felt ashamed for a while. How can you say that he was also the school belle in junior high school, why did he, Chen Xing, treat her like this?

When it was almost 07:30, the number of people in the classroom gradually increased. With a bag of milk in his mouth, Xu Xin rushed to Chen Xing with a gust of wind and grabbed Chen Xing's arm to stop the car. He took out a box of milk from his pocket and put it on. On Chen Xing's table, Chen Xing looked at the bag in Xu Xin's mouth, then at the box on his own table, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "No money?" Five dollars short.

Xu Xin drank the milk and held the bag in his hand: "I have money, but it's out of stock, so there's only one box left. I snatched it from an elementary school student in junior high. Don't you like to drink this? "

Chen Xing opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. Finally, he just stood up and rubbed Xu Xin's hair vigorously.

Xu Xin had an expression of enjoyment on his face: "The school grass is touching his head and killing him."

Chen Xing was a little funny: "Am I really a school grass?"

Xu Xin was a little speechless: "You were chosen in the Post Bar just after the first year of high school. Good guy, you have pulled No.2 by a lot of points. Don't say you never knew." Chen Xing just laughed softly, and Xu Xin rushed to him. Winking: "School grass, let me copy your homework?"

Chen Xing's hand on Xu Xin's head slowly moved down to his back, and patted hard.

"Hey, write it yourself, I won't tell you." Chen Xing looked at Xu Xin with a smile.

"I knew there was no game." Xu Xin muttered, and returned to his seat with drooping eyebrows.Full of complaints, he turned around and complained to Hu Xinyi: "Why don't you say that Chen Xing didn't lend me his homework?"

Hu Xinyi raised her head from the book, her face was rosy, she lightly supported the frame of her glasses, and said softly: "He is doing it for your own good, copying homework is not good, you can't do it, I can tell you."

Xu Xin: "······" What a hell, he guessed that he would have a nightmare when he went back tonight. In the dream, a bunch of little ghosts were chasing him, holding exercise books of various subjects, and shouting while running: "How can you not let me tell you." Just thinking about it, he felt goosebumps all over his body, and looked at Hu Xinyi with a fake smile: "No, thank you." The look on Hu Xinyi's face Hongrun added a little more, and said in a low voice: "You're welcome."

During the routine morning meeting on Monday morning, all the students yawned and stood bored on the playground watching the principal stand on the stage looking forward to the future with passion.Chen Xing felt that he must have forgotten which Bodhisattva to worship when he went out recently. He lowered his head and was concentrating on thinking, which Bodhisattva is it?Avalokiteshvara, Manjushri or Vajrapani?

The one standing next to him tugged at his sleeve, and asked in a low voice, "Chen Xing, does your uncle have a girlfriend?"

Chen Xing gritted his teeth and broke away Mao's hand: "I don't know."

□□obviously didn't believe it, and stretched out his hand to grab Chen Xing's arm. Chen Xing quickly changed places with the boy next to him, and □□ looked at Chen Xing helplessly through the man in the middle.

When the morning meeting was over, Chen Xing and Xu Xin planned to go to the canteen to buy some snacks, and they didn't have enough milk in the morning.Halfway through, Zhang Xiao

.Yu's anxious voice sounded behind him again: "Chen Xing, wait for me."

Chen Xing had an unknown fire burning from his chest, turned around and rushed in front of the girl: "He has a girlfriend, he has a girlfriend." Chen Xing yelled these words, and Xu Xin who was next to him was stunned. I was taken aback.

After Chen Xing yelled, he became even more angry. What's so good about Zhou Chen, he'd bewitched the little girl out of his mind the moment he saw him.Chen Xing was irritated thinking about the whole process that he met in the supermarket that day. It seemed that Zhou Chen greeted him first. Zhou Chen seemed to be still smiling at him. What's the deal?

□□He lowered his head and remained silent for a long time, then raised his head and asked the dark-faced Chen Xing cautiously: "Then, can you give me his phone number?"

Chen Xing was lucky enough to meet a tenacious soul today. He couldn't figure out what this woman was thinking, so he turned around and walked towards the playground speechlessly. Xu Xin stood where he was and was about to follow Chen Xing. Chen Xing said sullenly Said: "You go back to the classroom first."

Zhou Chen was sitting in the office in the morning bored, and the little girls in the unit pushed and pushed around Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen was taken aback by the black clouds overwhelming the city, sat up straight and looked at the few people asking : "Is there something wrong?" Looking at the awkward posture of one of the girls, Zhou Chen probably guessed what she was going to do.

A little girl lowered her head, wringing her fingers and falteringly said, "That...Zhou Chen..."

Zhou Chen sighed in his heart, he knew that he would hear that familiar question again: Do you have a girlfriend?He has heard this question no less than ten times since he was in this city. There are all kinds of people who ask the question, the proprietress of the bun shop, the aunt who lives downstairs, and the young girl he meets on the road. They either want to be a matchmaker or a girlfriend.Oh, and Chen Xing, he came here purely to gossip.

The girl's face was flushed, and she suddenly raised her head to look at Zhou Chen, with sweat dripping from her nose, her beautiful eyes were full of affection, her lips were red and her teeth were white, her facial features were delicate and elegant, which was very pleasing to the eye.She bit her lip, as if she had the courage to speak: "You have..."

The mobile phone placed on the table suddenly started to vibrate, and the words on the screen were vividly reflected in Zhou Chen's eyes.Zhou Chen picked up the phone with a smile and shook it: "Sorry, my girlfriend is calling."

The girl lowered her head and gave an inaudible "Oh" and turned around and left unhappily. Zhou Chen was relieved to see the backs of a group of people going away, and pressed the answer button.

Chen Xing's irritable voice came out from the microphone: "Zhou Chen, what did I do to you, do you have to make trouble for me?"

Zhou Chen held the phone away from his ears, leaned sideways against the wall, and said with a deep smile in his voice, "What's wrong?"

Chen Xing kicked the wall a little depressed, and then scratched his hair: "Why are you hiring a little girl?"

"Who did I recruit?" Zhou Chen was a little puzzled. He didn't think he had any bad life style, and even if he wanted to recruit, he would recruit boys.

"□□." Chen Xing knelt down and grabbed the grass on the ground, and most of his anger subsided.

Zhou Chen felt that this was really rare, he didn't even know who this girl was.He was a little funny: "Who is this?"

Chen Xing exploded again: "You introduce yourself and smile to others, you ask me?" The teaching director stood in the middle of the playground with his arms akimbo and shouted from a distance: "Chen Xing, you are still squatting in the classroom after all the classes What are you doing on the playground?"

Chen Xing stood up shaking his legs, and continued to yell at the phone: "You should reflect on yourself, and the girl you hired yourself can figure it out, don't bother me."

Zhou Chen hung up the phone before he could reply. He stared at the screen for a while, then chuckled softly, "You look like a furry rabbit."

When Chen Xing came back from the playground, he was in a slightly better mood, but he still had a dark face, sitting on the seat and staring at the book, looking very serious, but he was actually letting himself go.

"What is the essence of this question? If you compare it carefully with the example questions in the book, you will find out miraculously, hey, isn't this a problem of boat crossing the river? Well, I've said it all. Which classmate is willing to volunteer? Come up and do this problem?" Lao Wei, the physics teacher, yelled loudly on the podium, and everyone in the class buried their heads low, for fear that the teacher would spot them. Unexpectedly, he saw Chen Xing who was sitting upright and reading a book seriously, and called Chen Xing with a smile on his face: "Chen Xing, come up and do this question."

Chen Xing, who was pointed, stood up slowly, and habitually looked at Xu Xin. Xu Xin made a three-to-one comparison there, and then a one-to-one comparison.Chen Xing turned to the third section of the textbook, and swayed onto the podium.

After finishing the questions fluently, he turned around and saw sixty stunned young faces and a middle-aged face who were equally stunned. Old Wei pointed at the blackboard: "Chen Xing, what kind of questions are you doing?"

Chen Xing was at a loss: "Question [-] of the third quarter." When he glanced down, Xu Xin was holding up the workbook, with a distressed expression on his face.

Chen Xing couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing: "Sorry, I'll do it again."

Old Wei sighed and waved his hand: "Forget it, this question is much more difficult than that one, you have to listen carefully in class, our school will count on you next year."

Just after class, Chen Xing was dragged out by Xu Xin before he had time to stretch, and Xu Xin let him go when he walked to the end of the corridor. "Tell me, who is that uncle of yours?" Xu Xin leaned on the railing with one arm on it.

"Told you?" Chen Xing really wanted to rush back to the classroom and get a tape to cover the girl's mouth. It might not be long before the whole class will know that he has a handsome uncle.

Xu Xin snorted: "If you ask for your uncle's phone number, you will come to me. Who is it?"

Chen Xing bent his waist and leaned his arms on the railing, looked at the junior high school student kicking shuttlecock downstairs, and hummed indistinctly: "Zhou Chen."

Xu Xin didn't hear clearly, so he brought his ear to Chen Xing: "Who?"

"Zhou Chen." Chen Xing said it very clearly, Xu Xin's eyes widened in surprise, and he asked in shock, "Zhou Chen is your uncle?"

"No." Chen Xing didn't know how to explain, and then fell silent.

"Don't be a fool, it's right for a while, it's not for a while, what's going on?"

Chen Xing roughly organized the language in his mind: "He asked the teacher for leave that day and said he was my uncle. The two of us met in the supermarket that day and asked him who he was. He said he was my uncle, and the result was Then after a while, I will fall in love with him." After Chen Xing finished speaking in one breath, he turned his head to look at Xu Xin, Xu Xin was very confused, and it took a long time before he tentatively asked: "Why are you hanging out with Zhou Chen? supermarket?"

Chen Xing closed his eyes against the wind blowing, his head was filled with thunder, how could this man succeed in grasping the wrong focus every time, how did he meet this pig teammate?Thinking of the carton of milk this morning, he took a few deep breaths, and patiently explained to Xu Xin: "I slept at his house that day, and then..."

Xu Xin opened his eyes wide in horror: "You slept with him!?"

Chen Xing felt tight in his chest, and walked back with his hands clenched into fists by his side, gritted his teeth and growled, "Sleep on your head!"

Li Man didn't talk to Chen Xing all day today, Chen Xing heaved a sigh of relief, it would be nice to get together and relax like this.

When Chen Xing opened the door the next morning and saw the person standing downstairs, the corners of his eyes twitched uncontrollably.Li Man was wearing a school uniform with a high ponytail.With a smooth forehead, a pair of pear dimples loomed, and when she saw Chen Xing coming out, she smoothed her hair with her hands, and smiled sweetly at Chen Xing: "Good morning."

"Morning." Chen Xing's tone was flat, he felt that what he said was clear enough, isn't that what it's like to be in a relationship? When I was around, I started to feel bored again.Besides, he never felt that Li Man was good. During this time which was not considered a relationship, from the beginning to the end, he only felt bored.

Chen Xing hung the schoolbag in his hand on his right shoulder, took two steps towards the gate of the community and stopped, turned around and looked at Li Man who was following him, and waved to her.

Li Man thought that Chen Xing was waiting for her, so he was secretly happy, and his pace gradually accelerated. When he was two or three meters away from Chen Xing, Chen Xing nodded: "Stop, it's fine."

Li Man didn't know what Chen Xing meant, but just stared at him firmly, unwilling to let go of any expression on his face, unwilling to miss any emotion in his eyes.

Chen Xing stood still and looked at Li Man, smiled and said slowly: "What do you like about me?"

Li Man lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time. Chen Xing was not in a hurry and just waited for her.It took a long time before Li Man raised his head, his eyes were full of mist, and the expression on his face was extremely wronged: "I like everything about you, can you not break up with me?"

Chen Xing lowered his head and smiled: "You may like my face, my grades, you may like me as your capital to show off. But what you like is not me. I think, if you really like someone, you should think Show him your best side. In front of him, you will value your self-esteem very much, and you will hide your embarrassment. You will care about what kind of person you are in his heart." Chen Xing paused, Seriously looking into Li Man's eyes, his voice was deep and forceful: "At least, if you like someone, you have to know that when he wants to leave, let him go instead of wasting your time here to satisfy your selfish possessiveness." strength."

After Chen Xing said this, he turned around and left. He didn't look at Li Man behind him who was full of tears, but his feelings were out of his control. I don't know who I like, but I know, I don't like you.
