Chapter 28 After the Period

  Since XiXi expressed her dislike for overly intimate behavior to Chen Yan, Chen Yan has become more proper and no longer made any moves beyond a normal classmate relationship. However, the daily text messages before bed and after waking up have never stopped, which comforts XiXi. The content of his texts is not intentionally affectionate words, but rather brief greetings, like silent companionship.

  At this time, she did not realize that this little by little companionship had slowly reduced her dependence on Lu Dongqi in her heart.

  Although she rarely replied, Xi Xi had formed a habit of checking her messages before and after sleep. Every time she glimpsed the sender's name "Chen Yan", she would feel an inexplicable feeling in her heart, as if she was a little flustered and at a loss for what to do. Even though she knew she was just pretending, every time she responded to him, she couldn't help but wonder if she should continue.

  Questions that can't be done are put aside, and when there is time, they will be thought about slowly again. Things that can't be figured out are also handled in this way by Xi Xi. During the period of final review, she treats Lu Dong Qi and Chen Yan with the same attitude, hiding from words, using unchanged to respond to all changes.

  Burying herself in review, her days are incredibly fulfilling. Even when walking, XiXi is reciting vocabulary, and her entire demeanor is one of muttering to herself as she walks, with a distracted air about her.

  "This is God Mode!" Táng Gōngzǐ exclaimed in front of her

  Xi Xi looked up at him, neither happy nor annoyed. This semester's final exam was indeed important. During the Chinese New Year when visiting relatives and friends, everyone's topic of conversation couldn't help but revolve around their own children's grades. Among all the exams in a year, this one was most related to parents' face.

  Apart from this, there is another reason: at the beginning of next semester, liberal arts and science will be divided, and this result will serve as an important reference.

  One reaps what one sows, Xi Xi's diligence in her studies has brought her a considerable return. On the semester's report card, her name is second only to Xian Miao, surpassing Chen Yan, ranking second in the class and third in the grade.

  It takes a lot of effort to look effortless at the top, only they themselves know how much effort it took to take those few steps from the middle of the mountain to the summit.

  Xia Xi Xi is not very intelligent, she doesn't have a photographic memory or any natural talent in science subjects. She only has the ability to work hard and diligently summarize the mistakes she made.

  Even on Christmas Eve, the day with the most complicated emotions, she would finish a volume before lying in bed to sort out those messy things. She knew better than anyone that at this stage of high school, neither Lu Dongqi nor Chen Yan could surpass learning.

  This is not her being rational, but rather a learning habit that has taken deep root in her mind.

  She picked up two big bags of books, reference books and homework, and struggled to walk with them in her hands. Lu Dongqi ran towards her with a smile all over his face, "Not bad, third in the grade!"

  He helped XiXi carry the bag in her hand, it had been a long time since he saw her, the girl in front of him was much thinner, the previously slightly rounded chin became sharp.

  "I'm really great" Xi Xi rubbed the red mark on her hand, saying calmly, with a hint of sourness and sweetness in her heart, complex emotions flashed by. She hadn't had a good conversation with Lu Dong Qi for a long time.

  "Not at all, you're really something, walking around with a little booklet in hand, muttering to yourself like you're possessed"

  Xi Xi stared at him with wide eyes and didn't say a word.

  "Are you going to study literature?"

  "Academic, firmly guarding a class" Her science scores were relatively average, while politics was always the subject that dragged her down.

  "Why don't you ask me how I chose?" Lu Dongqi actually knew that Xi Xi would choose this way, just like Xi Xi had known early on that Dongqi wouldn't study literature.

  "By the way, what are your plans for winter break?" He led two big bags of books and continued to chat with XiXi while walking briskly without getting out of breath.

  "Eating, sleeping and doing homework, do you have any special plans?" XiXi shrank her neck into the scarf, it was really cold, already in the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, this winter seemed especially long.

  "My dad is going on vacation to Beijing to study Dongfang Xue, would you like to go with him?"

  If it were before, she would have been overjoyed to have the opportunity to be with him day and night, but now it's different. She needs to get used to treating Lu Dongqi as an ordinary person, just like he said, a brother-like figure. She is afraid of falling back into her own one-sided infatuation, getting deeper and deeper.

  Moreover, there is still Chen Yan lying in wait between them.

  "I have my own study plan, so I won't go." XiXi let out a breath, rubbed her hands together, and put them in her pocket to warm them up.

  "Really?" Dong Qi glanced at her previous action, "You're cold?"

  This guy's EQ hasn't improved, but his skill in asking rhetorical questions has become more and more sophisticated.

  "Come" He stretched out his arm towards her, still holding my two big bags of books, with a spirited and piercing gaze.

  "Carrying things and exercising won't feel cold anymore."

  "Son of a bitch" Xi Xi kicked him and burst out laughing

  "Finally saw you smile" Lu Dongqi felt a great sense of accomplishment

  "Xia Xi Xi——" A familiar voice, a tone of indifference, leaning against the windowsill with an air of detachment, watching Xia and Lu who were chatting and laughing, Chen Yan suddenly appeared, startling Xi Xi.

  Hiding was her first thought, but there was nowhere to hide, and Dong Qi was right next to her.

  No matter what, Xi Xi didn't want Lu Dongqi to know about her complicated relationship with Chen Yan. "Oh, I just remembered, I can't leave yet, the class advisor wants to hold a meeting for the class committee members, and here comes Chen Yan to call me, Lu Dongqi you go back first." She made up an excuse on the spot, thinking of ways to get rid of Dongqi.

  "Alright, I'll go first." Dong Qi handed the bag in his hand to Xi Xi, waved goodbye to her and Chen Yan, and slowly walked away.

  After Lu Dongqi walked away, Chen Yan opened his mouth with a hint of displeasure, "Why did you lie?"

  "It's just a matter of concern." Xi Xi didn't want to explain more, about Lu Dong Qi she had too many things that couldn't be explained. "Do you have something on your mind?"

  "Let's go out together tomorrow." Chen Yan cut to the chase.

  "Unwilling to go", Xi Xi's expression was gloomy, on the first day of winter break, she didn't want to bother with him at all.

  "Some discomfort, made an appointment with the doctor for a check-up, don't want to go by myself so I'm going with you"

  "What's wrong?" XiXi asked impulsively

  "I don't know, I'll have to check again tomorrow to be sure." Chen Yan's gaze lowered, and his tone also softened.

  "Okay, I'll go with you," XiXi replied, Lu Dongqi's appearance had disrupted her emotions, she hadn't even thought deeply about it, and wondered if this accompaniment was Chen Yan's conspiracy.
