Chapter 34 Planting Apples!
Chapter 34 Planting Apples!
Cute girls always have a thousand thoughts, but handsome boys are just as charming.
To be honest, Niu Zibin is really amazing. No wonder he's the class representative. When explaining problems, he always gets straight to the point, allowing Cheng Xiuxiu to understand them quickly.
But wouldn't that make Chen Chen look like a clown?
"Binbin, do you know how to do this problem too?"
"Yes..." Niu Zibin nodded, then, after carefully observing Chen Chen's suggestive look, quickly changed his words, "But only a little..."
"Hehehe, this Binbin is such a loser!"
As he spoke, he turned around and winked at Cheng Xiuxiu.
"Come on, Xiuxiu, let me tell you."
Cheng Xiuxiu looked at Chen Chen and could only offer an awkward but polite smile.
"Okay, thank you, Chen Chen."
"Hey, with our relationship, do you really need to thank me?"
"Uh..." Cheng Xiuxiu looked at Chen Chen, frowning slightly, "Forgive me for not understanding a little, what is our relationship?"
"Of course, we're good friends!"
Cheng Xiuxiu's real boyfriend was nearby, and he was also a complete scoundrel who had quit the fandom, so Chen Chen couldn't be too direct in describing to Cheng Xiuxiu the kind of relationship he desired with her.
But in reality, he felt that Cheng Xiuxiu was understandable!
After all, he has already proposed to her three times!
Three times! Do you even understand the significance of three times? Under such a relentless onslaught, even an iron tree would surely bloom!
But Cheng Xiuxiu still seemed unmoved.
Note that this indifference does not mean she is cold towards him. On the contrary, she is quite warm towards him. Although it is unclear whether she is the same with others, in the short time they spent together, no matter what he said or did, she would stare at him with her bright and lovely eyes, listen attentively, and give him the emotional value he needed.
In contrast, Lin Jianlu was always inattentive to him, and would punch, kick, and curse him all the time, just like a domestic abuser who was fierce at home!
He disliked abusive women at all; he preferred gentle, cute girls who were like innocent children, giving him a fantasy of escaping all the complexities and boredom of the world.
Commonly known as a naive and innocent girl.
Many people subconsciously look down on "naive and innocent" girls, believing that although such girls are cute, they lack common sense and are troublesome to take care of.
But in reality, no boy dislikes a naive and innocent girl; what boys dislike is a world without naive and innocent girls as their girlfriends.
However, Chen Chen didn't think Cheng Xiuxiu was a naive and innocent girl. If she were, she would chase him away if she was annoyed by him, and hug and cuddle him if she liked him. Instead, she seemed to be giving him the "friend zone" treatment as she was now.
It's amazing that even so, he still loves her terribly.
Is it because of her magnificent face?
Maybe so, anyway, he's very protective of that great face.
……
"Okay, let's take a break."
About half an hour later, Cheng Xiuxiu stretched, rubbed her temples, tilted her head back, and lay down on the soft sofa.
"I'm exhausted..."
The lovely girl closed her eyes. After studying too much, she seemed to have become much more haggard, and even her voice had become weak and listless.
It's only been half an hour and it's already like this. No wonder she wanted to transfer to Shanghai for school. I heard that the academic pressure in high schools in Yuzhou is quite high. If she stayed there, she might not be able to handle it at all.
"By the way, Xiuxiu, where is your hometown?" Chen Chen asked. "My grandparents are from Zhengzhou, and I even went to school there for a while."
"Uh..." The girl paused for a moment, then shook her head.
"My family isn't from Zhengzhou; we're from Lingbao."
"Oh, I know that!" Yan Yiyan raised her hand and exclaimed, "Are the apples from your place really delicious? When I was little, my dad brought back two boxes from a business trip. They were so sweet and crisp, and my brother and I devoured them in three or four days."
"Mmm-hmm!" Hearing someone praise the apples of her hometown, the girl couldn't help but beam with joy. "Although it's quite easy to run into people from Yuzhou in Shanghai, it's rare to see people from Lingbao. I never expected to suddenly hear someone praising our apples today."
"Hahaha..." Yan Yiyan laughed awkwardly, "That was when I was a child. I haven't eaten Lingbao apples in a long time, and I've almost forgotten what they taste like."
"It's alright, it's alright!" Cheng Xiuxiu exclaimed, quickly getting up to call out, "Come on, come on, let's go to the backyard!"
Passing through the back gate of the villa, you arrive at Cheng Xiuxiu's backyard, which is much larger than the front yard. To the east, there's a swimming pool, its water sparkling cleanly in the sunlight. To the west is a small garden planted with many different kinds of flowers. It's early spring, and many flowers haven't bloomed yet, only a few, like magnolias and roses, are in bloom, their vibrant colors standing out against the greenery.
But what Cheng Xiuxiu wanted everyone to see was not the flowers, but the trees.
"Look!"
In the center of the small garden, a girl in a white dress stretched out her fair arm and excitedly pointed to several saplings that looked rather thin and weak.
"These are the Lingbao apple tree saplings I bought online! They've been planted for almost a month now, and I water them every day. Look, they're starting to grow leaves now. I read online that they'll bloom with white flowers in a few days, which will be really beautiful."
The girl turned around, hands behind her back, a broad smile on her face:
"So when autumn comes, I can treat everyone to apples!"
What a lovely and innocent little girl.
Lin Jianlu couldn't help but comment in this way.
But she really didn't do well in geography.
You can't grow apples like that.
So, has everyone realized this problem?
Thinking this, she looked at the crowd.
Ninja-san had already run off to wander around while they were still in the room, and now no one knows where he's gone.
Yan Yiyan seemed to be captivated by Cheng Xiuxiu's grand plan to plant apples, and for a moment she didn't react. Staring at the apple trees, she smiled as happily as Cheng Xiuxiu.
Niu Zibin frowned, seemingly aware of the situation, but perhaps not wanting to dampen the enthusiasm of the two girls, he remained silent.
Only Chen Chen chuckled and moved closer to Cheng Xiuxiu:
"So, Xiuxiu, it's really necessary to have a boyfriend who gets good grades. Otherwise, if you can't grow apples, you won't even understand why you failed."
[The battle against puppy love ends in defeat! Momentum -1, Strictness -1. Chen Chen is becoming increasingly daring to challenge your authority!]
Damn it, she planted this tree herself, why is she blaming it on me?!
