It was already two hours later when I returned to the dormitory.
"Hey, third child, are you finally back?"
Zhuge Yun winked, "Why don't you just have dinner and come back?"
"Yes, a girl came specially to wait for you downstairs in the boys' dormitory, but you didn't even invite her to a meal?"
Zhang Bo sighed, hating that iron could never become steel, "What a waste of this girl's efforts."
"Third brother, what have you been talking about for so long?"
Zhao Luzheng looked like a gossip.
"That's right, tell me the truth."
Zhuge Yun responded positively.
"Isn't this a confession?"
Zhang Bo was "shocked". Will they be the only singles left in 417 in the future?
Zhuge Yun and Zhao Luzheng both "shocked" and looked at Xiao Xiao at the same time.
"no."
Xiao Xiao rolled his eyes helplessly.
"Really not? Don't lie to us?"
Zhang Bo and the others looked suspicious.
"really not."
In order to stop Zhang Bo and the others from asking further questions, Xiao Xiao immediately said, "Chi Xiuke has something to ask me for help.
"Is something wrong?"
"Well, it's what the second brother said last time."
"What did I say? What happened?"
However, after Zhao Luzheng was confused for a moment, a look of realization appeared on his face, "Is it the seventh teaching building that is haunted?"
"this matter?"
"Yes."
"Chi Xiuke also encountered a ghost in the seventh teaching building."
"real?!"
"Well, so she asked me to accompany her to the seventh teaching building, otherwise she would not dare to walk alone in the seventh teaching building in the future."
"So, it took a while."
"What, so that's what it is."
Zhuge Yun curled his lips somewhat boredly, and then said another sentence unwillingly.
"However, girls come to you whenever something happens, and they also like you."
"She is a new student, and the boys she is familiar with are probably her brother and me."
Seeing Zhuge Yun opening his mouth to speak again, Xiao Xiao didn't hesitate in his next words.
"As for the reason why you didn't look for your brother but looked for me..."
"I think she doesn't want her brother to worry?"
"You have met Chi Xiuchuan before. This guy is extremely nervous about his sister Chi Xiuke. He will sound the first-level alarm at the slightest sign of trouble."
Xiao Xiao thought of Chi Xiuchuan, who even secretly followed his sister to the bar for the class party. He was a little moved by his care and love for his sister, but also a little helpless and funny.
After all, Chi Xiuke is already a quasi-college student, not to mention the whole class went there together.
Therefore, knowing that her brother was nervous about her, Chi Xiuke did not tell Chi Xiuchuan, but came to see him.
Besides, in Chi Xiuke's eyes, he should be a professional in handling such situations, right?
…
"Too."
Although Zhang Bo and others had only met Chi Xiuchuan a few times, they could still see that what Xiao Xiao said was true.
"Okay, okay, I guess you've escaped."
Zhuge Yun waved his hand and let Xiao Xiao go.
Xiao Xiao has said everything, what else can they dig out?
"You have a lot of reasons every time, kid."
Zhang Bo said a little depressed.
"That's right, you're too cunning, Third Brother."
Every time they thought there was gossip, it turned out to be nothing but joy. Zhao Luzheng lay weakly on the table with a depressed look on his face.
Xiao Xiao:......
Blame him?
…
"By the way, National Day is coming, what are your plans?"
Zhuge Yun originally wanted to ask this question, but he was first delayed by the boss's invincible thoughts, and then his mind was filled with the fact that Xiao Xiao was called away by Chi Xiuke.
He also forgot the question he originally wanted to ask and kept discussing Xiao Xiao's gossip with Zhang Bo and Zhao Luzheng.
Now that the gossip was out of the question, Zhuge Yun remembered his original problem.
…
The first semester of every school year is always the happiest. The two-month long summer vacation has just ended. One month after school starts, it’s the National Day holiday.
Since the summer vacation had just ended and he had just returned from home to school, he had no intention of going home on November 1st.
…
"have no idea."
"No."
Zhang Bo and Zhao Luzheng said in unison.
"I want to go back to the teahouse to help."
Xiao Xiao saw the looks that Zhang Bo and others were looking at and said calmly.
Whether the summer vacation is over or not does not have much impact on the teahouse's business. After all, most of the people who come to Xiao's Teahouse to drink tea are old people and middle-aged people, with only a few young people.
Therefore, the period before the weather gets cooler has always been the peak period for teahouse business.
Whenever there is a vacation, Xiao Xiao will go back to help.
"Cut~"
Zhang Bo and others sneered in unison.
"Hey." Zhuge Yun suddenly remembered something and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Lao San, our classmates haven't been to your teahouse in a year. How about we go to your teahouse this National Day?
Sit here?"
"Yes, third child, I've been curious about your teahouse for a long time."
"I have long wanted to find an opportunity to visit Third Brother's teahouse."
Zhang Bo and Zhao Luzheng spoke in unison again.
"What's the problem? Xiao's Teahouse welcomes you at any time."
Xiao Xiao smiled and made a bow, his smooth movements showing a bit of ease and ease.
…
On the afternoon of the 30th, Zhang Bo and the other three gathered up some things to pay their respects, and then followed Xiao Xiao to his house.
The ancient alleys and mottled bluestone roads give people a subtle feeling of rising and falling when walking on them.
"Lao San, this alley is very antique."
Zhang Bo looked at the white walls and black tiles on both sides of the alley, as well as the ivy climbing all over the walls. The long alley, the scattered sunlight, and the half-light and half-shadow gave an illusion of time changing.
"It is indeed antique, but the road is a bit difficult to walk."
Before he finished speaking, Zhuge Yun almost sprained his foot.
"Pfft~ Second brother, why are you cursing yourself?"
Zhao Luzheng couldn't help laughing. Isn't this a coincidence?
"Haha, what a crow's mouth."
Zhang Bo was also gloating about his misfortune.
Xiao Xiao has never found this road difficult to walk, maybe because he has walked it so many times since he was a child, and he is already familiar with every ups and downs of this road.
In response to Zhuge Yun's complaint, Xiao Xiao curled up his lips helplessly, "I can't help it. I'm too old and it's inevitable that there will be pits."
"Just watch your steps."
…
"Here we are, this is my home."
Xiao Xiao stepped forward and pushed open the door that had been newly painted a year ago. He stood at the threshold and greeted Zhang Bo and others, "Please come in."
Zhang Bo and others stepped through the threshold one after another and walked into Xiao Xiao's home.
This is a small courtyard, clean and simple, which is in line with the temperament displayed by the alley they walked along.
The tall plane trees in the corner amazed them.
Zhang Bo and others couldn't help but gathered around and looked up. There were pieces of gold jumping between the branches and leaves.
The canopy is like an umbrella, and the branches are luxuriant.
"What a big sycamore tree."
Zhang Bo, Zhuge Yun, and Zhao Luzheng said in unison, with expressions of amazement on their faces.
