After eating, Lin Lu took the initiative to clean up the dishes and wash the dishes. Li Xingruo didn't stop him, but he didn't stay idle either. He held his review materials in his left hand and a bamboo whip in his right, and stayed with him in the kitchen. Swinging around behind him, checking on the completion of his tasks for the day.

"I can recite the words well, I didn't make any mistakes today..."

After spot-checking thirty or forty words, Li Xingruo didn't find Lin Lu's mistake, which made her feel a little pity, and didn't swing the bamboo whip in her hand.

Lin Lu was bending over to wash the dishes by the sink, looking at his dangling butt, and not giving a whip on it hard, always felt weird.

"I said, Teacher Li, what's the matter with your disappointed tone?" Lin Lu turned to look at her with bubbles in his hands.

"You read it wrong, I have joy written all over my face!"

Li Xingruo put away the vocabulary list and opened his Chinese recitation materials.

"Let's sing a Li Sao!"

"The descendants of the emperor Gaoyang are here, and the emperor called him Boyong. He was mentioned in Meng Zouxi, but Geng Yinwu came down..."

As a classic text to recite, let alone Lin Lu, even Li Xingruo, who has graduated from high school for four years, can recite it fluently.

Like an old master, she walked gently behind him with her hands behind her back. Lin Lu's voice was full of emotion when he recited, and his voice was very good. It was a kind of enjoyment to listen to him recite Li Sao.

In other words, when he said he was an art student at the beginning, Li Xingruo thought he was studying music. It seems that Empress Nuwa was somewhat biased when she made the clay figurines. At least Lin Lu was in terms of hardware facilities, and she couldn't find any faults. .

"Xiaolou listened to the spring rain all night, next sentence."

"Apricot blossoms are sold in Shenxiang in the Ming Dynasty."

"Chengjiang has a bright moon, the last sentence."

"..."

Li Xingruo suddenly switched to the "previous sentence" questioning method, and Lin Lu, who was still fluent in answering just now, immediately got stuck.

For students, the most annoying thing about recitation is the question of "the last sentence". Because of long-term habitual recitation, it is difficult to turn the corner in thinking at once, unless they are really memorized.

When she asked such a question at first, Lin Lu really couldn't remember it all at once, so he could only read in a low voice, sorting out the whole poem in order: "I'm a fool, but I'm going to do my business, things in the pavilion... ah!"

Before Lin Lu could recite the phrase "a thousand mountains in a falling wood, the sky is far and wide", the impatient bamboo whip in the girl's hand behind him slapped his buttocks fiercely, making a soft pop like hitting cotton. sound.

The flexible bamboo sticks were still trembling, as if Li Xingruo's excited mood at the moment—it's really good!really not bad!Work hard!
"Sister Xingruo, you sneak attack! I'll recite it right away!"

"Hmph, the exam doesn't give you so much time to think, which means that the basic skills are not solid yet! You should take it!"

The place where the bamboo whip was whipped still felt a little itchy, and when he turned around and saw her flushed face with excitement, Lin Lu was sure that Li Xing was deliberately making fun of him.

Well, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and sooner or later he will have the opportunity to return this whip to her.

"Okay, let's stop here for today's task spot check! Student Lin Lu, you still need to lay a solid foundation!"

Satisfied, Li Xingruo took her bamboo whip, hands behind her back, and the old god wandered out of the living room.

……

After Lin Lu washed the dishes and put them away, he pulled a piece of kitchen paper to wipe his hands, and when he came out of the living room, Li Xingruo was already sitting by the dining table.

She took out the laptop and was looking at the materials in front of the computer. She also opened the company's novel website to look at it from time to time, but she didn't know what she was doing.

Because I just had class last night, I don't have class today.

The two made an appointment to have classes two to three times a week, and the time was determined by her. The next class would be two days on weekends, and Lin Lu could come over to her to do homework on weekdays.

Originally, if Lin Lu wasn't there, Li Xingruo didn't have the habit of working in the living room, and usually hid in his own room, but when he came, he couldn't be left alone in the living room, so he had to move the computer out and talk to him. Working together at the dining table.

The little fat cat doesn't need to work or study. It jumps onto the dining table and lays curiously beside Li Xingruo's hand. Its big blue eyes reflect her computer screen, observing what she is doing.

Lin Lu also came over and stood behind her to see what she was doing.

At first, Li Xingruo just let them watch it casually, but after a while, he felt embarrassed, so he closed the computer screen and said speechlessly: "You haven't done your homework yet, what are you looking at here!"

"Sister Xingruo is writing an internship report?"

"That's right, the internship report, the graduation thesis, and this week's training summary that the company wants."

"...that looks pretty busy."

"Otherwise, you think my sister and I are idle, don't stand behind me, go and do your homework."

Li Xingruo acted like a baby and nudged him a little. The touch of his soft little hands through the clothes made Lin Lu feel that even his tense facial muscles were invaded by the soft force and became relaxed.

"Okay, okay, then I won't bother Sister Xingruo anymore."

When Lin Lu said this, Li Xingruo raised his head to look at him, thinking that he was angry and wanted to go back with his schoolbag.

Unexpectedly, Lin Lu just pulled the schoolbag from the other side of the dining table, took out the papers from it, pulled away the chair beside her, and planned to sit down on her left.

"...You sit across from me."

"Why, I think it's more convenient to sit together, in case I have questions to ask you."

"You are opposite, I can better supervise your study, I am the teacher of the podium now, do you sit on the podium with the teacher?"

"Okay, teacher."

Lin Lu had no choice but to go back to the seat directly opposite her and sit down.

When I look up, I can always meet her eyes. She is closing the computer, leaning her elbows on the edge of the table, supporting her delicate and round chin. Her soft hair is scattered on her shoulders, and part of it hangs down her cheeks to her chest. She is staring at him. It looks like a cute cat is concentrating on something.

Lin Lu stopped disturbing her, sat down peacefully, took out the papers and draft paper to be done today, and started to do homework seriously.

Only then did Li Xingruo finally move, moved the chair forward, straightened his waist, turned on the computer that had just been closed, put on the pair of black-rimmed glasses that did not match her face shape, put his hands on the On the keyboard, tap lightly.

Occasionally, when he was distracted, Lin Lu would secretly raise his eyes to observe her—in fact, he felt that the current state was more suitable for painting.

She was like an impeccable model, and he was confident that he could use his strokes to perfectly describe the girl who was working in front of the computer on white paper.

Li Xingruo didn't notice that he was watching her, she sat very straight, typing on the keyboard with both hands, the black-rimmed glasses mirrored the faint light of the screen, her expression was focused and she didn't smile, she looked extremely cold.

At this time, Lin Lu would start to reflect on himself, gather his thoughts again, and concentrate on coping with the seemingly endless papers under his pen.

Probably because he felt her hardworking and self-disciplined qualities, he could not help approaching her excellent qualities, possessing extraordinary efficiency and determination to prove himself.

The living room is quiet, Li Xingruo is working, Lin Lu is studying, the gentle sound of the membrane keyboard of the laptop is intertwined with the rustling of the pen tip rubbing against the paper, like a lullaby.

Little Fat Cat's big head was shaking, his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and finally he lay down and fell asleep...
