Chapter 24: Tentative

Zhou Yizhi went to the cram school and asked the driver to send her directly after school, so she has not gone home with Xue Xi for a while.
When she went home, it was around nine o'clock in the evening, and she would usually go home after dinner with Yuan Mei, so Aunt He was told not to prepare her dinner.
The cram school is very formal. Only the top students and talents in the city can enter the cram school, and there is a driver Li to pick up and drop off the school, so there is nothing to worry about in safety.
But these days, Zhou Yizhi seems to be in a good mood after returning from the cram school.
When the housekeeper helped her take off her schoolbag, she was still humming.
The butler was a little surprised, and asked: "Did Miss meet any new friends in the cram school?"
Zhou Yizhi held the shoe cabinet, gently kicked the snow boots aside, put on cotton slippers, raised his head and glanced at his brother. Xue Xi was sitting on the sofa reading a book, pinching a pen with his slender fingers, drawing lines from time to time, with a handsome profile and full attention.
Zhou Yizhi smiled and said, "Well, the people in the cram school are very interesting."
My brother is still reading.
Zhou Yizhi looked at the back of his head, his voice raised, and he said: "By the way, Uncle He, I may be back later tomorrow night, and I have made an appointment with my friends to eat hot pot."
"Hmm." The housekeeper nodded, somewhat relieved: "Okay, I remember, I will talk to Driver Li."
"But, miss, is your new friend a boy or a girl? Take care."
Zhou Yizhi said very casually: "Of course they all."
The book in my brother's hand finally turned a page.
The next day, before the cram school was about to end, Zhou Yizhi held his cheek in his hand and tapped the nib of the other hand on the table unconsciously, thinking about who he could find to eat this hot pot.
It would be too deliberate to find a boy to eat hot pot alone. It is better to have a few classmates, both male and female.
Her gaze flicked over a few short boys wearing glasses in the front row, and was about to send a message, asking Yuan Mei if she had an appointment tonight, when suddenly, a ball of paper was thrown from behind.
Zhou Yizhi gently squeezed the ball of paper that had been thrown on the table in his hand and unfolded it to ask her if there was anything after the tuition was over. Several people in Class A were planning to have a dinner together.
Zhou Yizhi glanced obliquely behind.
It was the boy who invited himself to buy books a few days ago.
He smiled at her.
Only then did Zhou Yizhi see his looks clearly.
The down jacket is hung on the back of the chair and wearing an off-white sweater vest is more outstanding features. However, unlike his handsome and cold brother, and different from Cong You's sports department, he has a smile on the corner of his mouth, which is very well-behaved and beautiful, and it is easy to feel intimacy.
Zhou Yizhi cheered up immediately.
Hot pot is here.
Zhou Yizhi said OK to him.
After the tuition in Class A, the classroom suddenly became lively, and a group of people put on their coats while packing their school bags.
Zhou Yizhi put on the down jacket, and saw that several people had been waiting in the hallway, talking and laughing. One of them was a fat man who was good at enlivening the atmosphere and made the other two girls laugh. In addition to these three, there were two others. Tall boys, one was more gentle with glasses, the other leaned lazily against the wall.
"Let's go, everyone has been in tutoring for almost half a month, and you have to get to know how to say it. We have known each other last time, so you are the only thing left."
"Just leave me?" Zhou Yizhi pointed to the other people in the classroom questioningly: "Aren't there many people?"
Why was she suddenly pulled into this small group.
The handsome boy was holding his schoolbag and felt a little embarrassed suddenly, and touched his head.
The fat man outside joked, "Because you are beautiful, Lin Jiayu has tried to know you for a long time."
Lin Jiayu is the boy behind the side who threw the note to her.
Lin Jiayu became a little bit irritated, walked over quickly, and stabbed the fat man with his elbow. Then raised his eyes to look at Zhou Yizhi.
Several people in the hallway laughed. One of the girls had an unclear meaning in her eyes and kept staring at her.
Zhou Yi had a clear glance.
But it’s okay to have a meal.
She bowed her head and sent a message to Yuan Mei, then walked over with her schoolbag, and asked absently, "Where shall we go to eat?"
The point is not where to eat, but to take a picture to wind up the circle of friends and see how my brother reacts. Zhou Yizhi's thoughts were all on this, and his heart was up and down, and he didn't care about the next few people who ridiculed.
There was no heating in the corridor, and a draught wind blew over. Zhou Yizhi's neck shrank and suddenly felt very cold.
She touched her neck, and then remembered that her scarf seemed to have fallen in school, and she didn't wear it when she came to the cram school.
He raised his head and glanced out the window.
The day was fine today. It was raining at this moment. The weather is gloomy. In winter, rain is most annoying. The already cold weather will become more humid and cold.
What kind of hot pot to eat... It's better to go back and watch a movie with your brother earlier.
Suddenly Zhou Yizhi became a little excited.
"Zhou Yizhi, where is your scarf?" Lin Jiayu, who was walking by her side, asked, "Is it not wearing it?"
"Well, I forgot today." Zhou Yizhi drew up the zipper of the down jacket a little bit, put on a hat with a loop of hair on it. After thinking about it, she loosened the hair tied into a ball head and shrank her neck. Block the wind.
"Let’s have a cup of milk tea first, hot." Lin Jiayu has scanned the code and bought a cup of hot brown sugar in a milk tea shop outside the cram school.
He handed it to Zhou Yizhi.
The fat man took the lead and said, "Lin Jiayu, you can."
Several people laughed together.
Zhou Yizhi looked at the hot milk tea, hesitated, did not reach out to pick it up. Lin Jiayu's meaning of chasing people is too obvious. In the past, when she coped with this kind of thing, she would usually reply "get off" coldly, and the effect was obvious. Almost no one in the school dared to chase her. But now that I think about it, she treats those people the same way she treated her brother in the previous life. It hurts and tramples on others' self-esteem. No one's self-esteem is born to be trampled by her.
Besides, some people are different from Cong You, not betting on themselves, but approaching them with pure enthusiasm.
Lin Jiayu took the milk tea and continued to pass it to her. Seeing that she didn't pick it up, his face couldn't help but touched his head involuntarily. He whispered, "Do you not like this taste? Zhou Yizhi, what taste do you like to drink?"
Zhou Yizhi thought for a while and said: "You Alipay scans the payment code to me."
Lin Jiayu didn't react.
But he still took out his phone.
Soon there was a sound of transfer, and Dingdong fifteen yuan arrived.
Lin Jiayu was a little bit dumbfounded, and said: "It's only fifteen yuan, I will ask you."
"Thank you." Zhou Yizhi took the milk tea and held it in the palm of his hand, really warm.
But after all I gave Lin Jiayu a step down. Lin Jiayu's face looked pretty good and smiled. Several people walked towards the subway entrance. He walked beside Zhou Yizhi. Seeing Zhou Yizhi shrinking his neck coldly, he took it off again. The scarf on the neck was handed to Zhou Yizhi nervously and said, "Why don't you wear mine."
The fat man was almost laughing crazy, and several other people also patted Lin Jiayu on the shoulder: "Brother, you are so dumbfounded. Just now, you clearly refused."
Zhou Yizhi looked at the scarf in his hand, a little helpless.
She was about to say something when she suddenly saw a tall man approaching the convenience store, holding an umbrella, and holding an umbrella in her hand. Before he approached, looking at this side, his steps seemed to pause. The heavy rain hit the umbrella he was holding, and hit the ground, his shoes brought a little muddy water.
Soon, he has come here.
The two girls who were still staring at Lin Jiayu just now quickly turned their attention to him.
He held Zhou Yizhi's scarf that fell at the school.
"You are at school." Xue Xi said.
Zhou Yiyi was stunned, her heart beating fast, she suddenly felt a sense of being caught on the spot-she was just planning to have a hot pot and send a circle of friends to see her brother's reaction. No one told her that his brother would come and give her an umbrella and a scarf. what.
Zhou Yizhi's brain turned quickly: "Ah, brother, you haven't eaten dinner yet, let's go eat hot pot together."
Fatty and the two girls hurriedly said, "Yes, let's eat together. If you meet, you will be friends!"
She thought her brother would not agree.
But Xue Xi pondered, and suddenly said: "Okay."
He didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. He glanced at Lin Jiayu next to Zhou Yizhi.
Zhou Yizhi:!
Wait, my brother's look!
