The Younger Brother Next Door is a School Grass - Chapter 37
Close the room door.
Lu Xi clicked the answer button, the phone was pressed to his ear, “Hey.” He tried to pretend not to care.
“This time I did a good job, keep working hard.” Missing’s gentle voice.
“Oh.” Lu Xi’s chest was stuffed with cotton wool.
I want to ask her why she didn’t reply after nearly a day, if she had forgotten their agreement, or if she didn’t care about him at all.
“Today is your birthday?” Zhou Sisi said, “Happy birthday to you.”
Lu Xi looked out the window, “Oh.”
Half of the sky is covered by the sunset, and new leaves are drawn from the branches. It is really a hopeful spring. Oh, hope.
Zhou Sisi: “I bought you a gift, it should be today or tomorrow…”
“Why don’t you get back to me?” Lu Xi interrupted fiercely, her beautiful eyes trembling.
“I have been busy with school projects these days, and the tutor is watching carefully.” Zhou Sisi said warmly, “I’m sorry, I came out of the lab this afternoon and only opened the mobile network, and then I saw your news on WeChat.”
“…It’s okay.” It’s useless, it’s useless, Lu Xi found himself covered with thorns and spurs.
Zhou Sisi said on the other end of the phone, “I have to go to the laboratory again in six minutes.”
It means it’s time to end the call.
Lu Xi didn’t want to hang up, “How long will this project take?”
“Hurry up, ten or twenty days.” Zhou Sisi said.
Lu Xi: “How many people participated?” In fact, he is not interested in this Rauch sub-project at all. He just wants to hear her voice more.
Zhou Sisi: “There are three in total, one senior in the junior year, and one classmate in the same grade.”
“Does the senior have a girlfriend?” Lu Xi was immediately alert, “Is the classmate a male student or a female student?”
“Male classmate. I don’t know if the senior has a target.” Zhou Sisi answered truthfully.
Hold. Both are men. Lu Xi was a little dull, and she wanted to stay with them in the laboratory for at least a few hours a day.
“I’m out of the door,” Zhou Sisi said, “Hang up first…”
“You owe me two calls and one video.” Lu Xie said.
“A call, right?” Zhou Sisi’s ending voice was softly confused.
Lu Xi confidently said, “This time the call is too short to count.”
“…Okay.” Zhou Sisi replied.
Lu Xi: “You hang up first.”
Zhou Sisi: “Well, goodbye.”
Toot toot.
Lu Xi held the phone and stood for a while.
The twilight wind rushed in from the wide open window, flicking the fine forehead of the boy who is now 18 years old, and brushing Ying’s delicate but dark eyebrows.
If the wish made today can be realized.
He hopes that he will end his senior year soon, see her soon, and soon…get her.

Many people believe that the keynote of college life is to relax and enjoy the pleasures that have been missed during the past decade or so.
Zhou Sisi’s college routine is not.
In this life, Zhou Sisi has no debts and does not need to spend a lot of time working.
But she knew that her family was ordinary, and her mother or her distant relatives could not help her in future work or even settling in and buying a home. All depends on yourself.
To give yourself and your family a better life, the most direct and easiest way is to read books.
University can’t be used for enjoyment. Zhou Sisi told herself that we must consolidate professional foundation and learn employment skills.
As a medical student, professional courses and examinations are onerous. Zhou Sisi insisted on actively reading extracurricular literature and participating in experimental projects after studying.
Most of the sweat can be reaped.
In the past two years after entering the university, Zhou Sisi has won most of the prizes with the highest gold content in the same grade.
Every day of Zhou Sisi is full and busy.
The two funds bought in the second year of high school have enjoyed good growth in the past two years, and the net income is close to the initial investment. Together with the money accumulated over the years from participating in various competitions, Zhou Sisi’s total deposits are almost two to four hundred fifty thousand.
The house is just needed. If you save money again, when you return to Huali City during the holiday to look for a house, you should have enough down payment for an ordinary two-bedroom apartment.
Life is clear and the future can be expected.
Also, Lu Xi…
In February, he was admitted to the top 80 of the grade, and in March, April and May, his grades were stable around the top 70 of the grade.
Zhou Sisi had four video calls with him as agreed.
It’s just that every time he gets close to hanging up, he doesn’t seem to be very happy…
***
On June 7th, from noon to evening, the whole Huali City rained heavily.
Lu Xi was not interested in attending a dinner organized by classmates to celebrate the end of the college entrance examination in such a bad weather.
After going home to take a shower, he sent two WeChat messages to Zhou Sisi, reporting that he had successfully completed the test and felt good in answering the questions.
After ten minutes, there was no movement in the chat box.
She is probably busy again.
Lu Xi turned on the music in the tightly closed room.
The curtains are closed to isolate the night scene of rain and lights from outside.
He was sitting on a chair, with one leg bent against the edge of the desk, his hands hanging down, his posture a little lazy.
A mobile phone that automatically turns off the screen is placed on the desktop.
The heavy metal music crashed dullly in the room, and Lu Xi didn’t really like this dark, cold sound.
But it has a strong sense of rhythm and a high degree of catharsis.
Invisibly filled every corner of the room, as if it could fill up some of his empty chest.
Wait for the board.
The WeChat notification tone specially set for the designated person was submerged in the metal music, and the phone screen lit up.
The next second after seeing the content of the message, Lu Xi suddenly bounced from his chair, opened the door of the room, and strode towards the hallway.
Pulled the door open.
In the corridor, Zhou Sisi stands full and full.
She was wearing a light apricot dress with her hair gently curled into waves, lying on her shoulders and chest.
Like a fairy formed by moonlight.
The fairy smirked slightly, “Uncles and aunts are…”
“They are not at home.” Lu Xi looked straight at her, “Why are you back?” He heard his heart beating.
Zhou Sisi entered the room, “Today, Saturday, um, I will go back if I want to.”
Lu Xi embraced Zhou Sisi who wanted to lean over to change shoes, and kissed her lips affectionately.
The door was not closed tightly, and the voice-activated light in the corridor did not know when it would go out.
At first, Zhou Sisi was a little startled, his palm pushed against Lu Xi’s chest, and he raised his hand to clasp it, and squeezed his fingers between her fingers and crossed them.
The kiss was heavy and fierce, and her body gradually weakened.
The vague and gloomy heavy metal music dissipated in the living room.
Lu Xi tasted the fragrance that belonged to Zhou Sisi, the smell of peach petals under the warm sun in spring. The petals are extremely soft, and the light pink and crimson are blurred by the water, wet, and a little bit sweet.
“You like me.” Lu Xi stepped back, breathing unsteadily.
Zhou Sisi’s light pink lips were moist and bright red by the kiss, and his soft eyebrows were slightly curved, “Yeah.”
“Are you my girlfriend?” Lu Xi’s cheeks and ears were hot.
Some embarrassed Zhou Sisi: “…”
“Not speaking is acquiescence.” Lu Xi’s eyebrows and stars flew with a youthful spirit, “Well, I am your boyfriend today!”
“Huh?” Ms. Xu Xuelin’s voice suddenly came from outside, “Why is the door of this house not closed?” It got closer and closer.
The sound-controlled lights in the corridor light up, and the lights seep in.
