The Class Genius Sitting Next to Me Is Always Trying To Flirt With Me - Chapter 23

Lu Xiao only felt that something exploded in his heart, and it crackled like fireworks, leaving a residue on the ground.

His head was numb, and his heart was beating wildly uncontrollably.

Those emotions just now disappeared, and even his own purpose was forgotten.

The mango smell in the mouth has not yet faded, and the icy sweetness from the mouth to the nose is so strong that it is impossible to breathe.

For the first time, he felt that he would also be trapped.

“You…” He moved his lips, but was instantly speechless when he saw Ye Cheng’s eyes.

He could never think rationally when those eyes were on him.

Jiang Jin typed back the message silently: [Congratulations, you guessed it right, that cup of smoothie was not given to Brother Xiao by the girl next door. 】

Tan Xiaoqi: [? 】

Jiang Jin: [It was ordered by Brother Orange for him. 】

Tan Xiaoqi: [? ! 】

Jiang Jin: [[Eating a lemon] It’s so sour. 】

Jiang Jin: [Will your boyfriend give you a smoothie in the evening self-study, if not, you can break up. 】

Li Junxiao’s roar came from the front row: “Jiang Jin, why are you provoking our relationship?”

Tan Xiaoqi hurried in from the door, Jiang Jin was completely dumbfounded.

Li Junxiao rushed over and picked up Jiang Jin. The movement was so loud that it pulled Lu Xiao back from the state of wandering.

The classroom was in chaos, and many people gathered around to watch the fun.

Ten minutes later, the class bell rang.

Ye Cheng shouted twice from the podium to maintain order and let everyone return to their seats.

Li Junxiao almost started hands with Jiang Jin, and the two spilled the book on the table, and the class discussed it with gusto.

Lu Xiao’s phone vibrated and received a message from Tan Xiaoqi.

[I’m sorry, brother, don’t be angry, I didn’t mean to ask Jiang Jin about those things, I promise I have no malice. 】

Li Junxiao asked Jiang Jin why he told her about Lu Xiao and Ye Cheng, and also instigated them to break up.

Tan Xiaoqi was so embarrassed that her toes grabbed the ground, so she could only bite the bullet and explain to the master.

Lu Xiao was not angry, and even a little curious.

Suspect X: [You have a crush on Ye Cheng? 】

In his concept, only if he had a crush on Ye Cheng would he pay such attention to his every move.

Tan Xiaoqi was so frightened that she almost threw her phone out and typed tremblingly: [No, no, absolutely no! 】

Whoever knocked down the cp and demolished the house by himself, is she crazy?

Suspect X: [Then you have a crush on me? 】

Tan Xiaoqi was choked for a moment: […My boyfriend and I have a very good relationship, and we don’t have a crush on anyone. 】

You don’t have to be so selfish.

Lu Xiao was dazed by her: [So why do you care so much about us? 】

Tan Xiaoqi lowered her head and slammed the table, ah, I can’t say that I want to see you two fall in love!

According to Lu Xiao’s character, if she listened to this explanation, she would probably not be able to get along in the 13th Middle School.

She found a reason euphemistically: [I think you have a good relationship, and it is very eye-catching when you are together. 】

Then, afraid that he wouldn’t understand, he made up a dog-licking character for himself: [I like to watch handsome guys [star eyes], such as you and Brother Orange. 】

For some reason, seeing Tan Xiaoqi’s words, Lu Xiao felt a little bit of joy in his heart.

He was not so happy when he was selected as the school draft by 3,000 votes, but at this moment there was an indescribable joy.

Suspect X: [You mean, we look good together? 】

Tan Xiaoqi thought for a moment and felt that a good brother should also use the word “very suitable”, so he affirmed: [Yes, that’s what it means! 】

Lu Xiao put away his phone, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He burrowed into his biology homework for a while, managed to miss an entire page, then propped his face up to look at the moon outside the window.

Tonight is the full moon, which is very beautiful, and the full moonlight sprinkles the silver brilliance of the corridor.

Lu Xun once said something, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight, it seems to be a confession.

Haha, is it possible that even Moonlight thinks they are a good match?

he thought smugly.

Ye Cheng glanced at Lu Xiao a few times on the stage, and seeing his face full of intoxication, he guessed that he was in a good mood.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and sent a message to Huang Sheng’an under the table: [You can pick up girls, can you come to the school gate to get them? Almost killed me, you know. 】

Huang Sheng’an: [嘤嘤嘤, please, Xiao Su said she gave you the smoothie, you can bring it to me after school. 】

Ye Cheng: [Take your mother and drink it. 】

Huang Sheng’an: [Aren’t you allergic to mango? ! Damn, do you want to call an ambulance? 】

Ye Cheng sent a rolled-eyed emoji: [I didn’t drink it. 】

He really didn’t want to annoy the elementary school student for the second time, otherwise it would be really troublesome.

It seems that this trick is still effective, the boy smiled for the whole evening self-study, although he didn’t know what he was laughing at.

After school, he even invited Ye Cheng to go out for barbecue on weekends.

Lu Xiao is actually a very extreme person. If he likes someone, he will be nice to him, but if he hates someone, he will treat him in a ruthless way.

Radical and enthusiastic, straightforward and single-minded.

Therefore, his goodwill towards Ye Cheng is always open and visible on the surface.

And Ye Cheng is the exact opposite of him. It is difficult for outsiders to see whether he likes or hates someone.

After the evening self-study get out of class, the sky was covered with dark clouds.

That night, there was a heavy rain in Nandu.

The city goes through such a phase every summer, when the rainy season, which is accompanied by high temperatures, lasts for several days.

The rain made the whole classroom wet, and the air was filled with the smell of dirt and grass, and the water traces meandered all the way from the door to the seat.

Many people were late for their early self-study. Because of the special weather, they didn’t remember their names on duty today.

Lu Xiao was also late, and when Ye Cheng took him to read early, he never saw anyone else.

Until the bell rang in the first quarter, the seat beside him was still empty.

Jiang Jin turned his head and asked, “What’s wrong with Brother Xiao, did you oversleep? Would you like to call him and ask him?”

Just as Ye Cheng was about to pick up the phone, Hua Wangchun came in through the back door holding a compass.

He quickly stuffed the phone back into the hole in the table, and Jiang Jin immediately turned back and sat down.

Hua Wangchun didn’t pay attention to their small movements, and said loudly: “Everyone, pay attention, the sports meeting originally planned to be held this week is temporarily canceled.

The students responded in disappointment and sat down in class listlessly.

Ye Cheng quietly sent Lu Xiao a WeChat message from below, asking him why he didn’t come to class.

After a long time, there was no reply.

“Early in the morning, don’t doze off, turn the book to the place where I talked last time…”

Hua Wangchun began to lecture, his tone as hypnotic as the weather.

Ye Cheng noticed that he saw the empty seat in the back row, but did not mention Lu Xiao.

He frowned, did Lu Xiao ask for leave?

It’s so sudden. Last night, he was still alive and well. It was almost ten o’clock and he was still asking him some mentally handicapped English questions.

After lunch, Lu Xiao’s seat was still empty.

All morning, no teacher asked him why he didn’t come to class, as if they all ignored it.

It does appear to be on leave.

Ye Cheng called him several times, but no one answered.

“Maybe there is something at home and I took a full day off.” Jiang Jin said, “Otherwise Hua Wangchun would have scolded him long ago.”

His words “something at home” made Ye Cheng have a bad idea.

He looked at the pouring rain outside, wondering why Lu Xiao didn’t reply.

When school was over at night, Huang Shengan suddenly sent him a WeChat message and asked him to wait for him at the door.

The two of them go home in the same direction and sometimes go together. However, because the evening self-study at No. 13 Middle School was 20 minutes earlier than that of the High School attached, the two were able to go home together by chance.

The rain at night was a little lighter, and Ye Cheng waited for him under the street lamp with an umbrella.

The tall plane trees cast a row of reflections on the asphalt road, like a neat display of majestic imperial guards, guarding the sleeping southern capital.

A flash of lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating half of the sky with a click.

The girls on the road exclaimed, a lot of rain splashed on their skirts, and complained that they were huddled under a small umbrella.

“Orange! I’m here! Ph—” Huang Shengan ran over.

He ran very quickly, and he got wet a lot, as if he had something urgent.

“Finally, get out of class is over, wait for a long time.”

He reached out and wiped the rain on his flat head, gasping for breath.

“It’s okay, why are you in such a hurry?” Ye Cheng said.

Huang Shengan swallowed, and Ye Cheng realized that his eyes were a little panicked: “I…I have something to do with you, let’s find a place to sit down and talk.”

Only McDonald’s is still open near this point.

So the two went to McDonald’s with umbrellas, ordered two McWhirlwinds, and sat down in front of the window on the second floor.

There was hardly anyone upstairs, and the temperature of the air conditioner was so low that it gave people goosebumps on their arms.

Ye Cheng stirred Mai Xuanfeng with a spoon and said, “Tell me, what’s the hurry.”

Since Huang Shengan saw him, the worry on his face has not changed.

He pressed his knuckles to his mouth and frowned, as if hesitating how to speak.

After a while, he said determinedly, “Chengzi, I met your boyfriend last night.”

Ye Cheng was stunned, and after a few seconds, she realized who he was talking about.

“He’s not me… Forget it, it doesn’t matter.” He tried to defend himself, but gave up, “Where did you see him?”

Let’s get down to business first.

Huang Shengan looked nervous and said solemnly: “Don’t be scared when I say it, don’t be scared… To be honest, I kind of want to persuade you to break up with him, after all, this kind of person is a ticking time bomb, who can I thought he had…”

Halfway through his words, he got stuck, with an expression he couldn’t bear to look directly at.

“Don’t hesitate, what’s wrong?” Ye Cheng frowned.

Huang Sheng’an licked his lips and said, “That’s right, my dad answered a phone call last night and went out in a hurry, saying that there was an emergency in the yard. It was already raining at that time, and he left in a hurry, without bringing him with him. Mobile phone and umbrella, my mother asked me to chase them out and give them to him.”

Ye Cheng gradually developed an ominous premonition and asked, “Then what?”

“When I went out, I found that he was gone, so I had to take a taxi to Qingshan.” Huang Sheng’an’s voice was very low, as if he was afraid of scaring him, “I just got off the car to the door and saw Lu Xiao in the inpatient department. Went into the building with my dad.”

“They were still talking, and my dad kept patting him on the shoulder.”

Ye Cheng’s heart instantly lifted.

He knew where the green hills were.

Lu Xiao disappeared for a day, and it turned out that he went to the hospital.

Huang Shengan carefully observed him and said, “To be honest, the person who can call my dad so late must be a long-term patient, otherwise…”

“Otherwise, it is impossible to invite the dean.” Ye Cheng murmured.

No wonder, Lu Xiao is so familiar with Hu Jiawei’s situation, and he can see that he is not mentally healthy at a glance.

His heart was up and down, like the messy rain on the glass, so wet and cold that he couldn’t breathe.

Huang Shengan said worriedly: “This disease is difficult to cure completely, and some people are aggressive when they attack. That Lu Xiao has such a bad temper and is well-known in the 13th Middle School, who knows if he will hurt others. I said Ye Zi, why don’t you break up with him.”

Ye Cheng rubbed his temples and said softly, “We’re not dating.”

“Really? Don’t lie to me!” Huang Shengan’s eyes widened.

Ye Cheng was very confused, and nodded perfunctorily.

Huang Shengan finally relaxed, patted his chest and said, “That’s good, it scared me to death. I thought you were really together, so I hurried over to tell you.”

“My dad hasn’t come home yet. It is estimated that he is in the hospital for consultation. His condition seems to be quite serious.” He said.

The rain outside the window picked up, smashing the glass.

Huang Shengan was relieved, got up and said, “Well, since there’s nothing else, let’s go home.”

Ye Cheng stood up with him, but seemed a little absent-minded.

“Fortunately you have nothing to do with him. I’ll tell you the truth. It’s scary to have a psychotic episode… My dad used to have a patient who stabbed three nurses with a knife…”

Huang Shengan whispered in his ear, but he didn’t hear a word.

Lu Xiao is mentally ill?

If this is the case, how could he have been with him for more than three years without realizing it.

But why did he go to Qingshan late at night, and when he mentioned Chen Zhen last time, he also said that he met in Qingshan.

After Ye Cheng returned home, Gao Qiulan greeted him.

She took the wet schoolbag and said, “You’re finally back. It’s raining so hard outside, but I’m worried to death, and I’m thinking about taking a taxi to pick you up.”

“I didn’t get it, grandma.” Ye Cheng reassured her.

The old man is always easy to worry unfounded, afraid that he will freeze from hunger.

There was a roar of thunder outside, as if thousands of troops were crossing the border, rolling down from the roof with a rumble.

The rain was heavier than before, and the flowers and plants on the terrace were blown crookedly.

Gao Qiulan has planted many jasmines, gulis and begonias, all of which are easily damaged by storms.

The grandfather and grandson worked together and moved in those delicate flowers.

Seeing that Gao Qiulan was wet, Ye Cheng urged her to take a shower and change her clothes.

Although her body is still tough, she is old, and it is best to avoid getting sick.

Gao Qiulan instructed him: “I made **** soup, you remember to drink it, you have to drink it if you don’t like it.”

“Okay, I will, you go take a shower, don’t catch a cold.” Ye Cheng pushed her into the bedroom.

He walked to the kitchen, lifted the lid of the pot and poured out some **** soup.

Gao Qiulan knew that he hated the taste of ginger, so he specially put lemon and brown sugar in it, and the spiciness of **** was diluted a lot.

After a warm cup, Ye Cheng suddenly remembered some small things.

Once he had a bad cold, and it didn’t heal for several days, and the medicine didn’t help at all.

Lu Xiao heard the local method from somewhere, so he cooked a pot of **** soup for him.

Their kitchen is very different from the kitchen here. Gao Qiulan has a very small taste in life. The cabinets and counters are painted in vibrant avocado green, and the small painted tiles on the ground look very warm.

And the two men’s kitchens don’t necessarily open fire more than three times a year.

The two of them are young masters who do not touch the spring water with ten fingers at home, and no one is willing to touch the few square meters of land.

Every time Gao Qiulan came, she had to fill their refrigerators with her own hands, for fear that her grandson would not survive.

They spend all day outside with delicacies from mountains and seas, Japanese and French food, but they have not eaten the three meals a day at home.

The two were also used to such a life, so they never had any differences.

Until that day, Lu Xiao cooked for him and boiled a pot of **** soup that was so unpalatable that it made me want to vomit up to this day.

At first, Ye Cheng refused to drink, wrapped in a blanket and dragging his nose with him.

Later, Lu Xiao became angry, suffocated the **** soup in one mouthful, and poured him down mouth to mouth.

That is, he drank it himself to know how hard it was to drink.

Ye Cheng was flushed with hot tears and snot, and his face was pale with a morbid blush, accusing him of abusing him with tears in his eyes.

Lu Xiao repented in an instant, annoyed and blamed at the same time.

Since then, he’s been working on ways to make food less unpalatable.

After a few months, his friends have begun to wonder how he can cook so well.

Ye Cheng leaned against the Nakajima platform, and the **** soup in his hand exuded the soft aroma of lemon.

The thunder outside the house was deafening, and the storm swept through the city, as if the world would end in the next second.

He stood there for a while, got up and put the cup into the sink.

Then he dug out his phone from his schoolbag, and found the largest umbrella again.

“Grandma, I’ll go out and be back soon.” He shouted to the bedroom, opened the umbrella recklessly, lowered his head and rushed into the heavy rain.

The subway in Nandu stopped operating at 11 o’clock. Ye Cheng was running in the rain. When he arrived at the subway station, his back was already wet.

There were almost no people in the subway station at this point. He entered the station face to face with the security check. The surface was surprisingly calm, but his heartbeat was a mess.

Ye Cheng sat in the unoccupied seat and soon received a call from Gao Qiulan.

“Hey, grandma.” He flicked the water droplets on his arm, trying to find some tissue to wipe, but found that he was in a hurry to go out, and he didn’t bring anything except his mobile phone.

“Where have you been? You kid, why are you running outside in such a heavy rain!” Gao Qiulan said anxiously.

Ye Cheng lied: “My classmates ask me for help, you go to bed first, I will be back before twelve o’clock.”

It takes about an hour to take the subway from the city to Qingshan.

But after this train passed, the subway should be out of service, so he could only take a taxi back.

Gao Qiulan couldn’t resist him, and said, “Be careful yourself, and send a message to grandma when you get there. What kind of classmates are those, and I told you to go out so late.”

Ye Cheng listened to her reciting for a while, and then coaxed her to sleep.

After thinking about it, he still sent a message to Lu Xiao.

【Are you there? 】

Still no reply there.

Ye Cheng’s hands gradually tightened, and nervousness spread.

He rarely acted impulsively like this, but at this moment he just wanted to confirm one thing, that Lu Xiao was fine.

Fifty minutes later, a gentle female voice sounded: “Arrived at the station ahead, Qingshan Station, please get ready to get off. You can transfer to Line 1 or Line 4 at this station…”

Ye Cheng came to Qingshan for the first time, thinking that he would go to the hospital after getting off the subway.

But I never expected that when I opened the Gaode map, I found that Qingshan Hospital was five kilometers away from the subway station.

He tried to call a car, but after waiting for more than ten minutes, there was no response from the app.

It should be the most unfortunate thing except that there is no seasoning package in the instant noodles.

Other than that, the signal is extremely poor.

He finally understood why Lu Xiao didn’t reply to the message, it was very difficult to open the page, and he might smash the phone according to his temper.

He didn’t want to wait any longer, so he had no choice but to follow the navigation with one foot deep and one shallow foot in the torrential rain.

Before taking a few steps, the shoes on his feet were filled with water.

Why on earth would I come to such a ghost place on a whim… he thought to himself through gritted teeth.

By the time they arrived at Qingshan Hospital, Ye Cheng had already been poured into chicken soup.

The rain was so heavy that the umbrella didn’t work at all, and it was blown over several times in the middle.

The automatic door opened, and the cold air blowing almost didn’t make him faint.

The lights in the inpatient department were dim, the door to the duty room was open, and no one was inside.

…not really.

He waited at the door for a few minutes, but still didn’t see the person on duty.

The end of the aisle was pitch black, with only the words “safe passage” lit up in green.

It seems that there is no other person in the entire hospital except him.

Ye Cheng usually looks quite bold, but he has a bad hobby, that is, he likes watching horror movies.

Especially the kind that happened in hospitals, dormitories, elevators, etc., so when he lived in college, he had to have someone outside to accompany him even when he took a bath.

For this reason, Lu Xiao laughed at him several times.

There was no movement in the aisle, but it looked even more terrifying.

His mind couldn’t help but start to see some images.

Fuck it, really **** it.

Ye Cheng had already recovered from his impulsiveness. He scolded Lu Xiao for more than ten minutes on the road, and all the sadness and worries in his heart had vanished.

All he wanted was – to be alive.

Finally, after shouting “Is anyone there” three times in a weak voice, he couldn’t hold it anymore.

There are eight floors in the inpatient department, and ghosts know where Lu Xiao is.

Ye Cheng decided to call Huang Shengan and ask his father. Although that would make Huang Shengan more suspicious of their relationship, there was no way out.

Just as he took out his mobile phone to make a call, he suddenly heard a strange noise from the corridor in front of him.

Thin, sharp, like a baby’s cry.

Ye Cheng was completely blown away, screamed, turned around and ran out the door.

The moment the automatic door opened, he slammed into someone.

He buried his head and rushed out, and his head slammed into the man and stumbled.

But before the man could stand firm, he took the lead to support his shoulders to prevent him from falling down because of the momentum.

“Quick, run!” Ye Cheng raised his head tremblingly, wanting to ask this brother to escape with him.

After seeing the face in front of him, he was stunned.

Lu Xiao looked down at him, the shock in his eyes was no less than his.

“Why are you here?” He looked Ye Cheng up and down, and seemed startled by his embarrassed appearance.

The voice echoed in the corridor behind him,

“Wow-woo-woo-woo-“

Ye Cheng decisively fell into his arms and hugged him tightly.

“Help! There’s a ghost!”

Lu Xiao froze in place.
