Chapter 147 Three Desserts
The next day, three beautifully packaged desserts suddenly appeared on Lu Qingxi's table, which surprised her. One of them came from Xiao Xu, who was reminded by his sister. He obviously wanted to get closer to Lu Qingxi through this dessert; another one came from Helian Che, who finally started to take action. His participation made this sweet competition more intense; the last one was sent by Jimo Tan, who was Lu Qingxi's boyfriend, and was placed closest to Lu Qingxi.
Lu Qingxi looked at the three desserts on the table, full of doubts. She turned to look at Jimo Chuan and asked him why there were so many foods. Jimo Chuan's eyes flickered and he said he didn't know. Then he smiled, opened the outer packaging of his dessert, pushed the high-end matcha chocolate he had given to Lu Qingxi, and said softly: "Qingqing, try this first."
Although Lu Qingxi had many questions in her mind, she still listened to Jimo's words. She scooped a spoonful of matcha chocolate with a spoon and put it in her mouth. The fragrance of the matcha and the smoothness of the cold chocolate blended perfectly together, making her eyes light up at once: "Delicious!"
Jimo Chu looked at Lu Qingxi's satisfied look, and his eyes were also full of satisfaction. In the following days, three desserts appeared on Lu Qingxi's table on time every day. During lunch, Xiao Lan told Lu Qingxi about her brother's sending desserts and the reason, which made her understand more about this sudden sweetness.
After knowing the source of the desserts, Lu Qingxi expressed her wishes to Xiao Lan, hoping that she could tell Xiao Xu and Helian Che that she did not need these carefully made desserts. However, the two did not seem to take her request to heart, and they still insisted on sending those colorful and fragrant desserts to her every day.
Lu Qingxi stared at the three desserts in front of her, feeling helpless. These desserts were colorful and fragrant, but there were too many of them. When she was lost in thought, Jimo asked softly, "Qingqing, can't you finish these desserts?"
Lu Qingxi nodded slightly, with a slightly apologetic smile on her face. Seeing this, Jimo Chuan smiled warmly and said, "Don't worry, I'll help you solve it."
As he spoke, he reached out and picked up the other two desserts, looking around for a suitable person to share them with. After a while, he distributed the desserts to other students in the class, and everyone's face showed a happy expression.
Seeing everyone happily enjoying the desserts, Lu Qingxi felt much more relaxed. She looked at Jimo Tan with gratitude, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She knew that Jimo Tan could always give her appropriate help and comfort at critical moments, which made her feel much more at ease.
Two of the three desserts were given out each time. Among them, the dessert sent by Jimo Tan was an exception. Every time he sent desserts, Lu Qingxi always hesitated. But Jimo Tan always smiled and persuaded her to try a few bites, and his gentle tone was full of expectation. Lu Qingxi was moved by his sincerity and tasted it gently.
Surprisingly, every time Jimo Tan prepared a dessert, it seemed to know her taste, sweet but not greasy, just right. The unique taste and flavor always made Lu Qingxi linger on the memory, and once she started to taste it, she would always finish the whole dessert without realizing it.
When the monthly exam came, Zhai Xingchen and Feng Muyang finally ended their confinement at home and returned to school. The return of the two made the atmosphere in the class a little subtle and awkward. Especially Zhai Xingchen, when he walked to his seat, his steps obviously paused for several seconds, as if he was hesitating how to face his good brother.
After sitting down, except for Chu Ye, the other two good brothers did not look up at him, which made him feel even more uncomfortable. In order to hide his embarrassment, he had to pretend that his body was still in pain and made a few inhalation sounds. After hearing this, Xiao Xu, who was at the same table, frowned and asked him to make less noise so as not to affect other students.
Zhai Xingchen felt very embarrassed and finally couldn't help asking Xiao Xu what happened. Xiao Xu didn't mention Lu Qingxi's matter directly, but said that he listened to a recording and was very disappointed with Zhai Xingchen's behavior. Zhai Xingchen's heart tightened, and he immediately thought of Xiao Lan. After thinking about it for several times, he replied carefully: "That's because I think you liked Han Wan too much at that time, and Helian Che also treated Han Wan differently. Besides, Han Wan is a girl, and I couldn't resist her request, so I helped cover it up." Seeing that Xiao Xu still had no intention of paying attention to him, Zhai Xingchen had to continue: "After staying at home for so long, I really have reflected on myself. I will not make this mistake again in the future."
Xiao Xu looked at Zhai Xingchen admitting his mistake, and the anger in his heart subsided a little. Thinking that they had been brothers for so many years, he decided to forgive him. He took a deep breath and said to Zhai Xingchen, "Don't target girls anymore, especially Lu Qingxi! And don't lie to me anymore!"
When Zhai Xingchen heard this, his eyes flashed. He pretended to lower his head and ponder for a moment, then raised his head and said to Xiao Xu seriously: "I understand, and I will never do anything bad again in the future."
Xiao Xu nodded and said nothing more. He knew that it was not easy to change a person's habits, but as long as he was determined to correct them, he would be able to do it. He also hoped that Zhai Xingchen could truly learn from this lesson and become a better person.
After the monthly exam results came out, Class A2 welcomed two new faces, Han Xin and Feng Muyang. The arrival of these two students undoubtedly brought new atmosphere and topics to the class.
Han Xin, because of her lower score in the monthly exam, failed to reach the threshold of Class A1 and had to settle for Class A2. She looked around the new environment, a trace of unwillingness flashed in her eyes, and finally chose to sit behind Lu Qingxi. Feng Muyang, on the other hand, came with a purpose. He specifically entered Class A2 and had his own plans. He chose to sit diagonally behind Lu Qingxi, which was the most convenient position to see Lu Qingxi's profile.
When Feng Muyang passed by Han Xin, he stopped, looked at her coldly, and said in a warning tone: "Miss Han, this is a new environment after all, so you'd better be careful." His voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for people around to hear.
When Han Xin heard this, she immediately looked up at Feng Muyang with dissatisfaction, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes. Recalling the scene of being stopped by Zhai Xingchen at noon, Zhai Xingchen's gentle request still echoed in her ears: "Han Xin, I know you are going to Class A2, I hope you don't go to trouble Lu Qingxi. She is Xiao Lan's good friend, and I don't want her to be sad." Thinking of this, she was even more annoyed, thinking that Feng Muyang was also looking for trouble with her.
So she hit back bluntly: "I'm not like someone who did something wrong and still has the nerve to come and be in the same class with someone else." Her voice was full of provocation and dissatisfaction, as if she wanted to vent her dissatisfaction and anger in this way.
