Bamboo Horse Alpha - Chapter 12

Returning to the community again, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, and the greenery in the community reflected the sunlight leaving patches of mottled light and shadows on the ground. Yu Jiu stepped on those lights and shadows and went back to her home.

The door was opened by Zhang Ma.

“Xiao Jiu is back?”

As always, the kind and kind smile is very contagious.

Every time Yu Jiu entered the door, relying on Zhang Ma’s attitude to adjust his facial expression, he said “um”, changed his shoes at the door and entered.

“What about her?”

“It’s in the kitchen.” Mama Zhang said, “Madam made your favorite braised chicken and garlic flower armor today, and I’m waiting for you to come back to eat.”

Yu Jiu smiled, but didn’t speak.

In the dining room, Yu Hui just came out of the kitchen with soup. Seeing Yu Jiu who had already entered, her eyes lit up slightly and she said, “You’re back? Wash your hands and eat.”

“En.” Yu Jiu replied naturally, and went to the bathroom to wash his hands.

At the dining table, the lunch of the three of them was very quiet, Yu Jiu just concentrated on eating without saying a word.

While eating, Yu Hui looked at him from the corner of her eye.

Yu Hui is over 40 years old this year, but the years have not left many marks on her face. Her eyes are seven points like Yu Jiu’s, and her skin is well maintained. She looks like she is in her early thirties, but she is younger than thirty The women are a bit more charming.

She looked at Yu Jiu, and wanted to speak up, but when she saw Yu Jiu’s forehead, her words were blocked in her throat again.

The wound on Yu Jiu’s forehead had already shed the scab, leaving a faint red mark. He didn’t deliberately cover it with bangs, so it looked obvious.

Yu Hui glanced at Mama Zhang.

Mama Zhang immediately said, “Xiao Jiu, how does it taste?”

Yu Jiu said, “Very good.”

“These dishes, my wife has been busy all morning alone.” Zhang Ma said with a smile: “For you, my wife learned how to cook these dishes, and even woke up early to accompany me to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. “

“…”

Yu Jiu paused for a while when she picked up the vegetables, and finally she was willing to raise her eyes, and glanced in Yu Hui’s direction, “Thank you, Mom.”

Without any emotion.

A trace of excitement flashed across Yu Jiu’s face, and she said, “Thank you? If you like it, Mom will make it for you later. By the way, what do you want to eat this afternoon, I…”

“I’m going back to school in the afternoon.” Yu Jiu said.

“…”

The corners of Yu Hui’s raised mouth suddenly froze.

The little bit of atmosphere that had just been activated suddenly dropped back to freezing point because of Yu Jiu’s words.

Yu Hui smiled slightly, “Aren’t you… on vacation?”

Monthly holiday plus May Day, at least three days off.

Yu Jiu said without changing his face: “Our class has arranged make-up lessons, this time… I didn’t do very well in the exam.”

“Didn’t you get the first place in the exam?” Yu Hui asked eagerly.

Yu Jiu looked up at her.

Yu Hui suddenly realized something, blinked a little uncomfortably and said, “Yes, it was your head teacher who called me and praised you in front of me.”

“…”

Yu Jiu didn’t expose her either, but just put down her chopsticks, took out the grade list she had prepared a long time ago from her pocket, unfolded it and handed it to her, saying, “I got the first place in the exam, but it’s not very stable.”

Yu Hui hesitated for a moment, then took it from his hand.

Yu Jiu lowered his head to eat again, paying attention to the changes in the expressions of the people opposite him while picking up the food.

When she got the ranking table, Yu Hui’s face was just blank with some doubts, until she saw the column of total score, she frowned slightly.

“Zhai Chi…”

She murmured, “Who is this person?”

Yu Jiu calmly said, “A new transfer student.”

Maybe he should be lucky, because Yu Hui didn’t pay attention to him since she was a child, so she almost didn’t know what friends and playmates he made and their names.

So seeing the name Zhai Chi, Yu Hui didn’t have any extra reactions.

She only reacted to that almost negligible point difference.

Yu Hui’s tone was slightly cold, “You this time…”

“I was careless this time.” Yu Jiu said, “I will work harder next time. Don’t worry, the number one position will not be taken away by others.”

“…”

Before Yu Hui had an attack, Yu Jiu had already made a promise.

Just like what the driver on the road said, using a positive attitude to make a positive promise may not necessarily calm the adult, but at least it will prevent her from saying worse things.

Yu Hui’s face was not very good-looking.

Yu Jiu lowered her head and didn’t look at her. She stuffed a piece of shiitake mushroom into her mouth and said softly, “The supplementary lessons arranged by the class are voluntary. If you don’t want me to go, I…”

“Can I still manage you?”

Yu Hui said something in a deep voice.

Yu Jiu didn’t answer, just lowered his head and continued to eat.

Seeing his reluctance to communicate, Yu Hui’s chest heaved violently, she put the ranking list on the dining table with a “snap”, turned around and went upstairs.

“…”

Yu Jiu didn’t hear about it, and got himself a sixtieth armor.

Zhang Ma was in a hurry and wanted to call Yu Hui to stop, but she did not dare to make a sound when she opened her mouth. She watched his wife go upstairs, and when she turned around, she saw Yu Jiu was still eating at a leisurely pace, hesitant to speak. After a long time, he finally let out a deep sigh.

Yu Jiu said, “Mum Zhang, eat quickly, the food will get cold in a while.”

“…”

Mama Zhang was helpless, and sat down beside her again.

She refolded the grade list that Yu Hui threw on the dining table, and carefully handed it to Yu Jiu, “Xiao Jiu, my wife…she just hopes that you can spend more time with her.”

“…I know.” Yu Jiu was silent for a moment, and finally couldn’t eat anymore, put down the bowl and chopsticks and said, “Mum Zhang, I’m done.”

He took the report card from the table and was about to get up.

Zhang Ma hurriedly pulled him back, “Xiao Jiu, actually you don’t have to work so hard, you are already very good, it doesn’t matter whether you get the first place or not, don’t push yourself like this, I believe my wife won’t care…”

“She cares.” Yu Jiu interrupted her, “She cares.”

He emphasized it again, Zhang Ma’s throat felt a little choked.

Yu Jiu suddenly smiled, as if she was being sarcastic or self-deprecating, “After all, the better I am, the more she can hold her head up in front of my dad, isn’t she?”

He was just a bargaining chip, a bargaining chip that his mother used to scare his father.

Until he came out of the villa, Zhang Ma didn’t stop him again.

After leaving the villa, standing under the sun, Yu Jiu thought of what Zhang Ma said, and somehow wanted to laugh.

spend more time with her…

I want him to be the first in everything, but I also want him to stay at home all the time. People are always so contradictory.

But when he needs someone to accompany him, where are his parents?

When he was alone at a loss, only… a face suddenly appeared in his mind, Yu Jiu shook his head violently, and left the house quickly.

On the campus during the May Day holiday, it was naturally quiet.

It’s not the first time Yu Jiu has returned to school during the holidays, so he’s very used to this kind of quietness.

Make-up lessons are of course deceptive.

Zhai Chi’s second place result, which made him feel threatened two days ago, now became an excuse for him to run away from home.

He turned directly from the school gate to the dormitory, planning his campus life alone for the next few days.

He pushed open the door of the dormitory as usual, but what he felt was not the tranquility before.

“…Did you pick up the third-level bag? Give me one.”

“Damn, when did the poison circle come here… I was poisoned, which brother will support me, a poor newcomer!”

“Run? Where is it… Wait for me!”

“…”

When I opened the door, I heard a person howling on the bed closest to the door. According to Yu Jiu’s limited experience, he should be playing a game.

As soon as he opened the door halfway, the person on the bed noticed it and looked straight towards the door.

“…”

Yu Jiu didn’t know why Zhai Chi didn’t leave school.

Zhai Chi didn’t expect Yu Jiu to return to school at this time.

The two froze again in sync.

A moment later, Zhai Chi’s cell phone uttered a yell: “Damn! Zhai Chi, what are you doing! Do you think other people’s marksmanship is not accurate enough? Get down… oh shit!”

All he heard was the sound of gunfire from the phone, and Zhai Chi’s character had already been shot in the head.

The moment Zhai Chi lowered his head when he heard the voice, the screen went black.

“…”

He didn’t care too much, holding his mobile phone and looking at the door, “Why are you back?”

Before Yu Jiu could speak, someone in the microphone said, “What? Who’s back?”

Yu Jiu: “…”

Before he could speak, he was interrupted by someone, Yu Jiu went in first, turned around and closed the dormitory door before saying, “I’m back…”

The voice paused again.

What is he doing back here?

It’s a good vacation, the whole school has gone home for vacation, the empty campus, what can he do when he comes back alone?

Yu Jiu wanted to casually say that he would come back to get something, but he wasn’t sure when Zhai Chi would leave, so he hesitated for a moment, and said honestly, “I’m going back to school for two days.”

“Who is it? Yu Jiu? Why go back to school for two days? Are you two still in school?”

“…”

“…”

The person in the microphone had a loud voice and was highly recognizable. Yu Jiu was taken aback for a moment and asked, “Captain?”

Zhai Chi also came back to his senses, nodded and said, “Well, they’re eating chicken.”

“What them? You kid didn’t eat?”

After the holiday, as soon as Cheng Yuanchao got home, he couldn’t wait to pull a few members of the basketball team to fight.

“What’s the situation now? Are you two together? It’s just right, Yu Jiu is here, let’s drive together… When we finish this one, Zhou Duo will be left alone.”

Yu Jiu instinctively wanted to refuse, “No need, I’m not very good at playing this game…”

“What are you afraid of if you don’t know how to play?” Cheng Yuanchao said, “That kid Zhai Chi doesn’t even understand the angle of view, isn’t it the same? He can’t even tell the difference between front, back, left, and right.”

“…”

Yu Jiu looked up at Zhai Chi with some amusement.

It’s no secret to Yu Jiu that it’s his own road-crazy problem, Zhai Chi is still a little embarrassed when he looks at him like this, “No, captain, why are you playing this game with personal attacks?”

“This is not a personal attack, this is to teach you skills.” Cheng Yuanchao said: “You can’t understand our online teaching here. Can you guide your head office on the spot? Yu Jiu, take him with you.”

The speaker didn’t mean the listener, and Zhai Chi was stunned for a moment when he heard the captain say “hand in hand”.

Yu Jiu focused on putting the clothes he brought into the locker, not paying attention to what the person in the microphone said.

Zhai Chi sat on the upper bunk and looked at him, then suddenly bent over, “Mr. Xiao Yu, can you please take me with you?”
