Chapter 37: It turns out that I am just one of the fish
Faced with the boy's sudden confession, Su Li shook her head and refused, "I'm sorry, I can't."
The boy seemed to regard Su Li's refusal as shy and said with a smile, "Although both teachers and parents say that they can't fall in love early, it's fine as long as we secretly don't be known by anyone."
Su Li continued to shake her head, and this time she refused more directly and simply, "I can't date you."
The boy was a little angry, "Why?"
Su Li frowned and said, "There is no reason. I just want to study now, not fall in love."
The boy's face immediately became cold, "Do you think I'm not handsome enough? Or is my grades not excellent enough?" When he asked this, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was making some bad ideas, which made people feel very dangerous.
Su Li immediately made an excuse to slip away, "Sorry, I have to go back and help clean the classroom." She said as she was about to leave, but was pulled by the boy.
This person looked like a madman! Su Li frowned and struggled hard. Her hands were grabbed even tighter by the other party. She became a little scared and looked around, but there was no one around.
The boy also realized this, and a hint of excitement flashed in his little eyes, "Promise me, I will treat you very well."
Su Li didn't want to say a word to him anymore, and shouted in the direction of the classroom, "Chen Xi, Chen Xi." He shouted two words without any response.
"Don't call someone, I won't do anything to you." He said, taking out a beautifully packaged box from his schoolbag behind him and handed it to Su Li, with a sincere look on his face, "I've been preparing for a long time." His expression was a little shy, not much different from any boy who confessed to his favorite girl.
But Su Li felt scared. Instead of taking the gift, she turned around and ran towards the classroom. After a few steps, she saw two male classmates appearing in front of her, shining like a savior. She ran towards them. Because she was too anxious, she fell a "dog eating shit" before she even ran to them. She happened to pounce on one of the black shoes. She looked up embarrassedly and saw that the owner of the shoes was known to her, Xu Chen.
Su Li climbed up, and a fat boy stood beside Xu Chen. It should be his classmate. They were surprised to see Su Li running so flusteredly. When they saw the boy chasing him from behind, they understood everything.
Xu Chen walked around Su Li to protect her behind her, looked down at the boy who was running over and said coldly, "What do you want to do?"
When the boy saw that there were two people on the other side, his aura became weaker immediately. He stuffed the gift back into his schoolbag, "It's nothing to do with you." His tone seemed very weak.
Xu Chen had a cold face, "Su Li is my friend, it's my business if you bully her."
The boy looked him up and down, and probably felt that the situation in front of him was not good for him, so he left cursed and cursed.
Su Li finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly thanked Xu Chen, "Thank you."
Xu Chen's expression was very cold, "Next time I encounter this kind of person, don't act too weak, such people bully the weak and are afraid of the strong."
"Well, I understand." She replied obediently, suddenly feeling like a primary school student being scolded. If it were Gu Ling'an at this moment, how would he treat him? She thought that the other party would smile warmly and said to herself, "It's fine. If there is any danger next time, remember to ask the people around you for help as soon as possible. There is really no one around you who can call me."
Thinking of this, I felt that Xu Chen's indifference was a bit unfriendly and could not help but distance himself from him.
At this time, Chen Xi walked over with two schoolbags, "Su Li, I thought you went out of the toilet." She came over and saw Xu Chen and was a little surprised, "Why are you here?"
Su Li told her about the situation, and Chen Xi immediately frowned, "The boy seems to be named Chen Hao. I only heard Zhang Xiaoqian say that he confessed to a girl in Class 3, saying that he wanted to have a romantic campus love, but was rejected on the spot. This boy seemed a bit promiscuous."
"It's not promiscuous." Xu Chen said coldly, "This is to cast a wide net, gather more fish, and follow the best."
Su Li suddenly realized that she was just one of the fish, not so charming that it was enough to make people fall in love at first sight.
"Scatter a wide net, gather more fish, and follow the best! That's right." Chen Xi smiled and looked at Xu Chen with a smile, his eyes full of twinkling stars.

When she returned to her home from school, Su Li found that the atmosphere at home was a little wrong. Compared with the usual quietness, the home seemed very lively today.
This lively sounds from the kitchen, with the sound of cooking, the sound of "chicking" of iron pots and shovels collide, and the sound of "chicking" of boiling water pushing the lid open.
Su Li walked into the living room curiously and saw a woman sitting on the sofa. She looked like she was about 40 years old and she was well maintained. She had black and shoulder-length hair, half-tied with a clip, her eyebrows were very thin, her eyes were big and bright, but she was not very good overall, but she looked dignified and atmospheric, and she looked very comfortable, just like the wife of a wealthy family in ancient times.
Su Li walked in in surprise. The woman stood up first and greeted her. She smiled naturally, with the beauty of Dongfeng Beauty, "You are Su Li, right?"
Su Li looked at her, called out "Auntie" softly, then put down her schoolbag and went to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, my father was putting fried lotus roots into a plate with exquisite blue and white patterns. The lotus roots were a little burnt, and it was obviously not very successful.
Seeing Su Li standing at the door, my father immediately said, "It's your Aunt Qin outside, my father's former college classmate."
Su Li said "Oh" and went in to help bring the plate of lotus root to the dining table.
Aunt Qin also came to help, and smiled and said, "Just cook a few at will." Her eyes looked at her father like Chen Xi's eyes when she looked at Xu Chen.
Su Li suddenly thought, "College classmates? Was they a couple at that time?"
Dad took off his apron, took two dishes and walked to the dining table, and said to Aunt Qin, "Try it and see if my craftsmanship has improved."
Aunt Qin immediately sat down, picked up a piece of lotus root, put it in her mouth and chewed it carefully for a few times, and smiled and praised, "Well, I've made a little progress."
Dad immediately smiled like a child who was praised, with a hint of shyness in his compliment.
The three of them sat down around the table and started eating.
Aunt Qin picked up the dishes for Su Li twice and praised her, "I look as beautiful as her mother, and I am very quiet."
Dad did not respond to her words, changing the subject, "How long will it take to live here?"
