the stars fell on his head

Chapter 37 Shi Zhijiu, Am I Shameful?

"Eating noodles is easier to grow taller."

Shi Zhijiu was dubious.

"Is the average height of northerners taller than southerners?"

After Xi Xiu finished speaking, he glanced sideways at Shi Zhijiu's head, "So you should eat more noodles."

He actually mocked her for being short?
Shi Zhijiu looked up and glared at him: "I'm not short among girls!"

"Oh", Xi Xiu said, and crossed the road to Hefu Lo Mein.

Shi Zhijiu didn't eat coriander, and forgot to make a note with the boss when ordering noodles. When a bowl of hot and sour beef noodles in hot and sour soup was served, a strong smell of coriander filled Shi Zhijiu's olfactory nerves. He vomited.

While covering his mouth, he said to Xi Xiu, "I'm sorry."

"what happened?"

"I can't eat coriander, I can't accept the taste."

Xi Xiu's eyebrows and eyes were cold, and he said calmly, "Coriander has the effects of invigorating the stomach and eliminating food, dispelling cold and detoxification, softening blood vessels, and strengthening the body."

Shi Zhijiu felt that his stomach was starting to overwhelm, so he didn't care what effect it had, just took out the coriander in the bowl and asked the waiter to remove it, and then took away some of the soup on the surface.

Thinking of the last time he ate at his own home, he was not picky about food, so he couldn't help asking, "Xi Xiu, do you really eat everything?"

Xi Xiu stopped holding the chopsticks, raised his head and looked at Shi Zhijiu, "I'm not as brave as Bell."

"what?"

"Bear Grylls, No. 1 survival in the wild."

The man who is known as "the man at the top of the food chain" flies in the sky, swims in the water, runs on the ground, as long as he can eat, he can become a source of energy for his survival.

Shi Zhijiu raised his forehead, "That's not what I meant."

Xi Xiu picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks and said flatly, "I don't eat eggs."

Shi Zhijiu seemed to grab the little rabbit's tail and was reluctant to let go, so he quickly took out his mobile phone under the table and started Baidu "Egg Efficacy."

Then he laughed, "Eggs are so nutritious. They can nourish essence and nourish qi, moisten lungs and relieve throat, nourish yang and moisten dryness."

Xi Xiu simply put down his chopsticks and looked at her with a slight smile in his eyes, "I'm allergic to eggs."

"..."

When Shi Zhijiu rolled his eyes, he didn't forget to stick out his tongue, that look was a bit playful, which made the corners of Xi Xiu's mouth rise slightly.

Xi Xiu seemed to recall something, and asked Shi Zhijiu, "Are you picky about food?"

She blinked, "Of course I don't think I'm a picky eater. It's not that I don't like food, it's that I don't know how to eat. There is an essential difference."

The essence is not picky eaters.

"Ah! Xi Xiu!"

Her sudden yell attracted many customers in the store to look over, and Shi Zhijiu quickly said sorry.

Xi Xiu: "What do you want to do?"

Shi Zhijiu restrained the corners of her lips from rising, not letting herself laugh, "We...is this a first date?"

"..."

Xi Xiuzhen didn't know what was going on in her mind every day.

But seeing that she hasn't complained about being bullied today, it's rare for Xi Xiu to play with her patiently, "If that's the case, have I met your parents?"

"exactly!"

Xi Xiu tapped Shi Zhijiu's head lightly with chopsticks, "As long as you use even a little bit of your crazy brains in mathematics, the teacher will be moved by your progress."

"Xi Xiu! Don't mention math."

She pursed her lips and put down her chopsticks, "Don't eat!"

"Let's go then."

Seeing Xi Xiu get up, Shi Zhijiu hurriedly picked up the chopsticks again, "I'm not full."

Xi Xiu didn't listen, and went directly to pay, "It's more than half a bowl, aren't you girls clamoring to lose weight?"

Shi Zhijiu hugged the noodle bowl to resist, she didn't have a big appetite and already ate a lot more than usual, but it was rare for her to be alone with Xi Xiu, so she didn't want such a good opportunity to be wasted.

"I didn't yell."

"Then go back and learn the nutrients from the math problems."

Xi Xiu left without looking back, Shi Zhijiu grabbed the bag and rushed out, "Wait for me!"

The two walked towards the bus station together. The afterglow of autumn hit them and reflected two shadows on the ground. The taller one had a straight back and walked steadily step by step.On the other hand, the smaller shadow beside him was alive and kicking, and sometimes liked to stand on tiptoes. It looked like a very energetic girl.

The boys are cool and handsome, and the girls are icy and muscular. They walk together very well, and even passers-by can't help but look at them more.

……

Every time I go back to school on Monday, the class is always chattering, even the top students in Class [-] are like this. They always like to share some trivia about weekends with the students around them, or get together in small groups to discuss the future together. Zhou's gossip, which celebrity broke up, and which romance was exposed again.

When they were young, any incident would cause waves in their simple life.

When the audience was bustling, He Shanshan walked up to the podium, patted the table, "Quiet!"

Many students looked at the blackboard with puzzled faces, but Xi Xiu was still doing his own thing with his head down, unaffected in the slightest.

"It's already November, and the head teacher said that at the beginning of the month, we will check our program rehearsals. The other classes have already practiced very well, and our class hasn't started yet.

Do you guys have any ideas?

The teacher told me last time that there is one singing and one dancing. "

There was a boy at the bottom making trouble, "What are you singing? Uncle Ma and Uncle Ma—silly..."

He Shanshan glared at the boy fiercely, "Shut up!"

"For singing, let's form a band and sing. Aren't there many students in our class who can play musical instruments?"

He Shanshan looked in Shi Zhijiu's direction, "As for dancing, only Shi Zhijiu has learned it properly, and the teacher also instructed you to..."

"Don't jump" Shi Zhijiu dropped the words indifferently and went out to fetch water.

The air was quiet for a moment, and He Shanshan was a little embarrassed to be brushed off.

Folding his hands in front of his chest in anger, he cursed on the podium with disdainful eyes, "What's the air, it's just a half-baked thing."

Every student below responded to her, and occasionally a few students who analyzed the situation let out bursts of sighs.

He Shanshan's gaze turned to Xi Xiu, who had been bowing his head in silence, "Then let's do a group dance with a few girls, and let Xi Xiu play the piano for the accompaniment."

Xi Xiu, who has always been silent, opened his mouth, and his voice was not low, "Do you use me as a foil for your feelings?"

As soon as Xi Xiu's words came out, the students in the class immediately lifted their spirits and stared at Xi Xiu seriously. Everyone's eyes reflected the surprise of preparing to watch a good show, even Luo Yang and Li Mingzhe behind were no exception.

He Shanshan was stunned, and quickly waved her hands, "No, I just think that someone who plays the piano like this... this... looks more classy."

"You? Why." Xi Xiu's uplifting tone could not be difficult to conceal the biting coldness.

His flabbergasted contempt instantly ignited the atmosphere in the class, like ice meeting hot water, making a chirping sound, with white smoke wafting over and over again.

Luo Yang and Li Mingzhe in the back kept applauding, but Xi Xiu made them shut their mouths honestly with just a look.

Xi Xiu got up and walked out from the front door. When he passed the podium, he lowered his voice and said to He Shanshan, "You also need to know how much you have."

He Shanshan's hands covered by the podium had already clenched into fists, and she was warned by Xi Xiu.

When Shi Zhijiu came back, he heard that Xi Xiu had vented his anger for her, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, he dragged Luo Yang and asked, "Really?"

"It's true."

Luo Yang just wanted to ask her why the progress of the two of them was so fast recently, Shi Zhijiu had already run out to find Xi Xiu.

If no one can be found, I have to send him a message, "Why help me?"

"I don't want to owe you."

"???"

"Don't go to Internet cafes in the future."

It turned out that it was because of Gao Jie's bullying of her that he always felt sorry, so he would help her today.In fact, he was right, and he reminded her specifically, but in the end she went on her own way. If something really happened that day, she deserved not to listen to the persuasion.

During the math class in the afternoon, I handed out the math papers of last week's weekly test. This time, Shi Zhijiu did very poorly in the test, but the unexpected punishment did not come. Miejue Shitai just praised the top few students, and then began to lecture up.

She was uneasy throughout the class, always feeling that it was impossible for this matter to pass like this, unless the teacher wanted to give up on her.

Sure enough, Master Miejue's voice rang along with the get out of class bell, "Shi Zhijiu, come to the office."

Shi Zhijiu stood obediently in front of the desk with his back straight, but his head was lowered.

The teacher pointed to the report card, "You fell to the bottom this time."

Shi Zhijiu thought that he would be scolded in the next second.

As soon as the teacher finished speaking, the door of the office was pushed open, and Xi Xiu walked in, "Mr. Zheng, are you looking for me?"

"Well, this one is in English, take a look..."

Before Shi Zhijiu could hear what they said, Miejue Shitai's unique voice pulled her back, "Your math grades are lagging behind now."

She didn't know how to respond, and the teacher continued, "According to the school's instructions, those who did not do well in the exam this time will form a special class for you, and stay every weekend to strengthen tutoring."

"what--"

Xi Xiu and Zheng Bo have looked at Lai, Shi Zhijiu's face turned red like an apple.

"However, if you participated in the performance of this school celebration, I don't need to enroll you, but Xi Xiu will tutor you instead."

No wonder Mrs. Miejue spoke so softly today, without any hint of anger, and emotions were waiting for her during the school celebration.

Shi Zhijiu was silent for a long time, then slowly said, "What if he doesn't want to?"

Miejue Shitai: "Xi Xiu, come here."

After getting Zheng Bocheng's permission, he walked towards Shi Zhijiu.

"How can you say that the two of you are also the last tablemate in high school, Xi Xiu, you are so good at math, you have to teach Shi Zhijiu."

Shi Zhijiu had no hope at all that he would agree, after all he just refused last time.

Unexpectedly, Xi Xiu uttered a single syllable: "Okay."

"So, how about the school celebration?" The teacher thinks that this has been arranged for you, so you can finally dance this time.

Shi Zhijiu suddenly bowed to the teacher, "Sorry, I can't dance."

In the past ten minutes, she has been convincing herself that it's okay, she can dance well, and she can definitely return to the stage, but she still failed in the end.

She escaped from the office in a panic, but unexpectedly ran into He Shanshan.

She didn't want to pay any further attention, so she raised her foot and left, but was stopped by He Shanshan, "Shi Zhijiu, I admit that I can't dance as well as you, but if the teacher asks me to participate three times, even if I have zero foundation, I won't eat or drink." Sleeping will do its best to practice, and you? Shrink, head, crow, turtle."

Shi Zhijiu clenched his fists tightly, the veins on his temples were slightly protruding, he gritted his teeth and shouted at He Shanshan: "If you are capable, you recommend yourself!"

But He Shanshan behind her still said relentlessly, "I really don't know what you're trying to do!"

He Shanshan has a relationship with you!

Shi Zhijiu returned to his seat angrily, and didn't talk to the people around him all afternoon.

After the school bell rang, all the students in the class rushed out in unison, Shi Zhijiu sat still in his seat, not knowing what to think.

From the corner of her eye, she saw that Xi Xiu was also sitting in the seat and did not leave. Just as she was about to ask her, He Shanshan came over and handed a bag of things in her hand to Xi Xiu, "An Ran asked me to bring this to you."

Xi Xiu didn't answer, and He Shanshan's hand just stretched out there. Everything around her seemed to be still, and no one could hear breathing. table, and left.

In the end, only Xi Xiu and Shi Zhijiu were left sitting upright in the classroom. The evening wind sneaked in from the window, brushed Shi Zhijiu's hair, and attacked Xi Xiu's face. It was already 11 It's been a month, Shi Zhijiu added a small vest to his school uniform jacket, while Xi Xiu was still wearing a white shirt with an open school uniform jacket on the outside.

Shi Zhijiu heard the sound of security inspections, and did not expect to check so early today.She raised her hand and looked at her watch naturally, it was only six o'clock, but it had been a while since school ended, she stood up with her schoolbag in her hand, and then turned the stool onto the table, "Give me a break, I'm going home. "

Xi Xiu stared at the things on the table without moving.

Shi Zhijiu poked his arm with his finger, it was stiff, probably a good figure that looks thin in clothes and fleshy in undress.

Xi Xiu called her, "Shi Zhijiu".

"Ok?"

With a hoarse voice, he moistened his throat unnaturally and said, "Am I ashamed?"

"..."
