pretend to be poor

After slipping out of the bar, Xue Ting put down his hands.

Tong Huai walked away for a while, pulled out from his own world, and stopped walking.

Xue Ting followed him, remained silent, and patiently waited for him to speak.

Tong Huai held back for a while, then tilted his head: "Do I look stupid?"

"It's pretty stupid."

Tong Huai was not angry. He really felt that he was an idiot. He knew that those people were not good people, so he easily put down his guard, brushed his hair, and said, "Thank you, you saved me again."

Although I don't know what Sun Ji put in his drink, it must not be a good thing.

Xue Ting looked at him and didn't respond.

He heard Tong Huai's call at noon, and when it was close to five o'clock, he was uneasy, so he went out and waited at the bar first.

It's a mess around here.

This kid is like a fool who will help count the money after being sold, so I can't rest assured.

Tong Huai whispered: "I thought you would say something about me, but Yu Wen would scold me bloody."

"I scold you to let you know your mistake," Xue Ting said lightly, "Don't you know your mistake, why bother."

After six o'clock, the clouds in the sky were dyed orange-red, layer by layer, like an overturned paint tray. Below are the old buildings scattered in the West District, and the sky is full of electric wires.

Tong Huai's eyes are light in color, transparent and beautiful, and can reflect the entire sky.

Xue Ting squinted at those eyes, and suddenly remembered his raging anger.

As clear and bright as his eyes.

When the people around him have learned to cover up hypocritically, his eyes are still so clean that people dare not look directly at them.

Like a child, his emotions are undisguised.

Also like a mirror.

Xue Ting saw himself in his eyes, slowly lowered his eyelids, and clenched his fingers unconsciously.

What happened that afternoon, neither of them told anyone.

Tong Huai would never have anything to do with that kind of person again.

On Monday, three people in the class went to the competition, and Tong Huai's right side was empty again, and he was not used to it.

He watched Xue Ting's tailor-made novice tutorial for him, and sat in the classroom honestly for a whole day.

When Xue Ting came back in the evening, he saw Tong Huaiyou obediently sitting in the classroom and immersed himself in the questions. A smile appeared in his eyes, and he reached out to rub his curly hair.

Tong Huai raised his head with a murderous look, and when he saw Xue Ting, his murderous look stopped, and his eyes lit up: "Hey, you're back!"

Those who went to participate in the competition did not have to go to the evening self-study, and Chen Yuan and Lu Ziran did not come.

"Well," Xue Ting raised his eyebrows seeing that he was not chattering like usual, "Don't ask me how I did in the exam?"

The seat that had been vacant for a day was occupied again. Tong Huai was in a good mood, leaning his elbows on the table, and smiled with his chin on his hands: "Forget it after the exam, don't ask."

Xue Ting rubbed his hair again, took out the test paper, took out the pen and continued writing.

Tong Huai looked at him quietly.

Just finished the exam and came back to brush up the questions. In fact, this person is not called a learning god, but a learning lunatic.

After the preliminary round, Xue Ting had more time. Before the monthly exam, he sorted out his physics and chemistry notes.

The monthly exam is scheduled for No. 30 in September, starting at 05:30 in the morning, taking the whole day, ending at [-]:[-] in the afternoon, and taking a holiday after the exam.

After the announcement, Tong Huai counted the days and faintly collapsed: "No way, I have to take the exam all day on my birthday?"

Tong Huai celebrated her lunar birthday with her mother, and the date changes every year. This year happened to be September [-]th.

After Xu Xingzhou announced the time, the classroom buzzed like a hive of people looking forward to the holiday and worrying about the exam.

Xue Ting was spinning his pen boredly, but when he heard the sound, he glanced at him: "Your birthday?"

Children of this age take birthdays very seriously.

Zhao Gou turned around and said with great interest, "Don't be discouraged, pretty boy, go out after the exam and ask everyone to hang out and have fun together before eating. I'm going to go crazy after the exam."

Tong Huai thought for a while: "That's okay."

He suddenly became happy again, and touched Xue Ting's knee: "You still have a chance to prepare a gift."

"No need to prepare," Xue Ting smiled, "I'll give you a set of Wusan."

Tong Huai: "...then you're welcome."

Chen Yuan also turned his head: "Why refuse, don't you like to study recently, the old dog is so scared that you start to listen to the class seriously, keep it up."

In order to slap Chen Wu in the face, Tong Huai has been studying hard recently.

Zhao Gou watched him struggle for a week as if he was insane, and thought that it was almost done.

By the second week, he couldn't help but also started to attend the lectures, saying convincingly: "People who can rely on their faces for food are already studying, how dare I sit still?"

As Chen Yuan said, he couldn't help but gave Xue Ting a thumbs up: "Niu is still brother Xue Niu, he can make our little boy so obedient."

The corners of Xue Ting's mouth curled slightly, with a calm expression on his face: "It's easy to say."

Xue Ting only recently discovered that it is actually very simple to make Tong Huai obedient.

Just praise it.

Complete the homework, boast, listen to a class without falling asleep, boast, write the correct question, and praise again.

As long as he finds the right method, Tong Huai is easier to coax than a child.

The time for serious study slips away quickly, and the monthly exam is coming in a blink of an eye.

The day of the exam was also Tong Huai's birthday. Xue Ting didn't go to school first this time, and waited downstairs at seven o'clock. Seeing Tong Huai come down with a troubled face, he said "Happy Birthday".

In the early morning, Tong Huai received many blessings, as well as calls from Tong Jingyuan and his grandparents.

He sat on the bicycle and stretched out his hand happily: "Where is the gift?"

"At the bookstore, I'll take you to buy it after the exam."

Tong Huai didn't want to talk to him anymore.

The third mid-month exam is arranged according to grade ranking, with Xue Ting at the front and Tong Huai at the back.

When we arrived at school, before leaving, Xue Ting rubbed Tong Huai's hair hesitantly: "Check for gaps and make up for omissions." After a pause, he squinted his eyes and added, "Take the exam well, and you will die if you lose my face."

Tong Huai patted his hand away: "Seat the first place firmly, you are the school bully's father's tablemate, you will die if you lose my face."

Xue Ting waved lazily and walked straight into the examination room.

Tong Huai and Yu Wen were in the same examination room every time, and this time was no exception.

Seeing Tong Huai come in, Yu Wen waved to him enthusiastically: "Brother, you are here."

Tong Huai said modestly: "Brother, I came prepared."

"Are you still ready to go to heaven?"

Tong Huai wasn't sure if he could do well in the exam, so he kept quiet for now, lest he fail the exam and be made fun of by Yu Wen.

Xue Ting's assistance was very effective. At least when he got the math paper, Tong Huai would no longer be confused by the questions.

It is that Xue Ting seems to have told him about some questions, but he has an impression, but he can't write it out, and his heart feels empty.

After the exam in the morning, Tong Huai was sleepy and tired, so he didn't go to eat, and took a nap on the table. When he woke up, he found two breads on the table, probably brought by Yu Wen.

It was Yu Wen who seemed to pass the test for amnesia and forgot that he didn't like meat floss.

After the exam in the afternoon, everyone was liberated.

As soon as the bell rang, everyone rushed out of the classroom regardless of whether they did well or not.

Most people in the class couldn't remember Tong Huai's birthday. Most of them had already made an agreement with their family, and they were picked up as soon as the exam was over. They only had time to send their blessings. There were only a dozen or so who went out to eat together.

Everyone raised their arms, rushed out of the school gate, squeezed onto the bus, went to the shopping mall in the city center, and discussed passionately what to do.

"Let's play something exciting to relieve the stress," Tian Xin raised his hand with a bitter face, "The composition is so difficult, I got off topic, and now I feel guilty and can't eat."

Others agreed one after another: "I have a math problem that I didn't have time to do. It is the type of problem that Lao Lu said. I will be hung on the flagpole by her to dry."

There was only one seat left for Shuoguo on the bus, and everyone tacitly gave it up to Tong Huai.

Tong Huai smoothly pushed the girl next to him to the seat, raising his eyebrows in doubt: "Exciting?"

"Hey, you're underage, not that exciting," Yu Wen moved closer to him, "How about playing an escape room?"

Most people agreed, and some shook their heads: "Why don't you go play, we just happened to go to the video game city to play."

Tong Huai's eyebrows twitched, and he said dryly, "You have to make an appointment to escape from the secret room. There is no show at this point."

"It's okay, just play with a family and release the pressure."

"I found one to play with, and the cover looks scary."

"Wow exciting, count the number of people, which ones go?"

Tong Huai's expression became numb when he heard the word "horror", he opened his mouth, and stopped talking.

Zhao Gou grinned: "What's the matter, I'm not afraid, you are not afraid of ghosts, are you?"

"...Who's scared?" Tong Huai struggled for a moment, holding his head high, "That's it!"

Xue Ting was not interested in participating in the discussion, so he swiped his phone, keenly aware that Tong Huai's tone was not right, and looked over inquiringly.

The little curly hair and thin lips were tightly pressed, and he unconsciously grabbed the corner of his clothes, his fingers trembled slightly, and there was a trace of imperceptible tension.

He was silent for a moment, then said slowly, "I'm afraid."

Tong Huai was overjoyed: "What? Then let's go!"

Xue Ting took a light breath: "..."

Can't move.

fool.
