To Oak

Because of Lin Zhou, going to school has become even more annoying to Zhu Miao than usual.He has already figured it out, if Lin Zhou tries to mess with him again, he will make Lin Zhou look good--he hasn't figured out exactly how to look good.

But Lin Zhou changed his rules a little.

Zhu Miao remembered Xiang Shu's advice to him, and tried to listen carefully in class, but he missed too many classes, and every class was like falling into the clouds, trying to fight against sleepiness, but there were a lot more in the book Notes that he himself could not read.

Not to mention Lin Zhou's class, looking at Lin Zhou's face, Zhu Miao couldn't concentrate at all.His English foundation was already poor, and now it is even worse.

After coming back for a few days, Xiang Shu gave Yi Ning a vacation, let her rest, and went to work in the store every day.

The weather is getting hotter, and iced drinks are becoming more and more popular. Iced hand brew, iced coffee, and soda drinks are refreshing and comfortable.The floor where the air conditioner in the store can continuously sweep the air, cats will grow out of one wrong eye.

The black and white kitten "Oreo" brought by Zhu Miao has been released.As a "newcomer", it should be at the bottom of the food chain here, but it is naughty and active, and it is still terribly vigorous after being beaten by other cats several times, and it also broke several cups.

Until one time, he was caught by Xiang Shu.

Xiang Shu grabbed the slippery kitten, pinched the back of the kitten's neck, lifted it up, pointed to the place where the cup fragments fell, and severely criticized it.

"If you break it again next time, I'll beat you up, understand?"

The amazing thing is that since then, Oreo really hasn't broken the cup again, and it didn't dare to go to the bar when Xiang Shu was around.

It seems that cats are really the best among bullies.

It was past eight o'clock today, and Xiang Shu was still at the bar. Zhu Miao glanced at him and asked tentatively, "Brother, are you still off work?"

Xiang Shu looked at the time and said, "Later, what's the matter?"

Zhu Miao accidentally muttered out her heart: "I want to do my homework..."

He was really embarrassed to open his homework under Xiang Shu's nose. His homework had more blanks than filled in, and more mistakes than corrects. Recently, he wanted to study hard, but it didn't work.

Xiang Shu was completely baffled, he said: "You wrote it..."

Zhu Miao turned sideways, blocked Xiang Shu's eyes with his body, opened the English homework, and started to read the English on the test paper, but he found that he had read the first line of words three times and didn't understand them.He shook his head, pressing the ballpoint pen repeatedly irritably, trying to focus again.

"Is it that difficult? You have been filling out the first question for 15 minutes."

Zhu Miao was so frightened that she almost bounced up. When she turned her head, she found that Xiang Shu was standing silently behind her, looking over her shoulder at the English homework on the table. Like a cat, she didn't move at all.

"No...no, I'm just in a daze, I'm just starting to do it now!" Zhu Miao said stiffly.

Xiang Shu nodded, but he didn't look like he was going to leave. He rested his hands on the table and moved his lips silently, as if he was reading.

Zhu Miao gritted her teeth and looked at it, but found that she still didn't understand. The meaning of several words was very vague. It seemed that this meaning seemed to mean that meaning. When combined, the sentences were completely nonsense. It's like guessing a riddle.

Xiang Shu's gaze was on his back, and Zhu Miao found that his hand was propped up next to his own, and the coffee fruit tattoo on his forearm was very clear.

Three long and one short choose the shortest, Zhu Miao thought to himself, and filled in the brackets with a C.Xiang Shu didn't speak, Zhu Miao felt that his self-confidence was gradually inflated, and he intuitively filled in the remaining five blanks one by one.

"It's amazing—" Xiang Shu sighed.

Zhu Miao thought, no, it's all filled.

"Perfectly avoid all the correct answers, is your pen lit?"

Zhu Miao blushed instantly, pinched the pen, and "brushed" to cross out all the written answers, penetrating the back of the paper.He smashed the pot, put the pen down, put his face on the table, scratched his head with his hands, and messed up his hair.

"I won't..." Zhu Miao screamed.

Xiang Shu sat down beside him and said, "Your foundation is too bad, you need to make up for it."

Zhu Miao seemed to suddenly see a beacon in the sea, and suddenly found a light in the darkness.He turned his head abruptly and stared at Xiang Shu, with drooping eyebrows, eyes and mouth, not to mention how pitiful he was, he said, "Teach me... please..."

Xiang Shu was stunned.

Zhu Miao seems to be born with a kind of "righteousness". He is open-minded when he is happy, open-minded when he is embarrassed, and open-minded when he asks for help, making people feel heinous if he refuses at all.

Xiang Shu avoided his gaze and said flatly, "I can teach you when I have time."

Having said that, by the time he realized it, Xiang Shu had already begun to explain to him the reading comprehension of "Annihilation of the Whole Army". It is a tongue-rolling sound, light and sticky, lingering and sweet, better than all the English teachers in the school.

Just when one was serious about teaching and the other was serious about learning, the bell hanging on the door rang, and someone was coming.

It was already closed, and the person who came was not a guest, but obviously someone Xiang Shu knew.

The person who came was a 35-year-old man, elegant and gentle, and even greeted Zhu Miao, whom he didn't know, with a smile.Zhu Miao answered in a daze, and quickly lowered her head to pretend to read the question, but she was secretly listening with her ears up.

This man brought coffee beans. There were several packs of coffee beans that were labeled and said, "Bring here for you to taste." Xiang Shu took the coffee beans, and then they chatted about coffee, We chatted about Xiang Shu's previous trip to Ethiopia. It was a normal conversation, nothing special.

But Zhu Miao just felt that something was wrong, and felt that the two of them were familiar and intimate but also unfamiliar and polite.

If this intuition is used to solve the problem, it will not be completely wrong.

The two chatted, and the man was about to leave, and he also greeted Zhu Miao before leaving.Zhu Miao was eavesdropping, already guilty and extra polite, he stood up and wanted to see him off, but the man smiled and said, "No need to see him off. It's our first time meeting, my name is He Zheng, I'm Xiao Shu's friend, my coffee shop is In the alley diagonally opposite, come and play when you have time."

Zhu Miao nodded.

The doorbell rang again, and the store became quiet again.Xiang Shu knocked on the table and said, "Hurry up, I have to go, I will finish these two questions for you."

Zhu Miao had no choice but to suppress her curiosity and sit down to do the questions obediently.

"What did you drop?" Xiang Shu picked up a piece of paper on the ground and returned it to Zhu Miao.

Zhu Miao looked at it, took it back, muttered "Parents will be notified", folded it randomly a few times, and stuffed it back into the schoolbag.

Xiang Shu didn't ask, and he wasn't curious about Zhu Miao's family either. It would be too tiring to find out the origin of every stray cat he picked up.
