Zhao Xiaoman was carrying a schoolbag and was stopped as soon as he took two steps.
The speaker was a girl, and her clear voice said: "Zhao Xiaoman, wait!"
Xiao Man looked back and blushed. The girl's name was Ai Xiao. Because of her beauty, she was privately known as the school beauty of Yucai Middle School.
She is in the same grade as him, but in a different class, and is the captain of the school cheerleading team.
Xiaoman is a member of the table tennis team, and I have met her several times before when I participated in activities.
She just looked familiar, she didn't even say a word to her, and I don't know why she stopped me.
A girl with a freckled face next to her asked, "Hey, Xiao Man, why are you blushing when Xiao Ai talks to you? Do you like her?"
Xiaoman was already nervous, but when she asked him this question, he became even more incoherent, "No...no...yes...no..."
At this age, I already have a crush on pretty girls.
Not only Xiaoman, but also the entire school, he is probably not the only one who regards Ai Xiao as his secret crush.
The freckled face was impatient, "What is it? Let me ask you, who was the one who sent you to school just now?"
Xiaoman thought of Sophie, and then regained some confidence, and said proudly, "That's my aunt!"
Ai Xiao asked curiously, "Your aunt? She's so beautiful. She's not from Jiangbei, right?"
"no."
She asked again, "Then your brother-in-law must be very powerful, right?"
Xiaoman straightened his back, patted his chest and said, "Of course, my brother-in-law is a special forces soldier, he is super awesome!"
He had admired his brother-in-law since he was a child. He originally planned to join the army after graduating from junior high school, and his grandma agreed.
But my mother just refused to agree, and no one tried to persuade me.
According to her, it is enough to say that the Zhao family has a soldier, and it is considered worthy of the country. There is no need to send herself.
Although Xiaoman is young, he knows a lot about things. He has heard his mother say it several times in private.
There are only two reasons for not letting myself go.
Firstly, I didn't want to endure hardship, and secondly, I felt that there was no future in being a soldier.
But he didn't think so. It was everyone's responsibility to protect the family and the country, especially when he looked at his uncle in military uniform, he was a hundred times more handsome than those young men on the Internet.
He doesn't like to chase stars. Growing up, the only thing he admired was soldiers.
But it's useless to have extravagant hopes. My mother doesn't agree and my father can't make the decision.
Grandma wanted to help, but couldn't bear her mother's insistence.
In the end I had to give up.
The freckled face also asked, "By the way, what does your aunt do? Does the Audi just now belong to her?"
"It seems like I'm doing management in a company."
Ai Xiao smiled and said, "Xiao Man, it's my birthday in a few days. I'm throwing a birthday party. You can come with me then."
"Ah I?"
Xiao Man was stunned. He had no idea that Ai Xiao would invite him to her birthday party.
The freckled face opened his mouth and asked, "What are you doing so stupidly? You don't want to come!"
Xiaoman was too nervous to speak, "No, no! I am willing, willing!"
She adjusted her glasses and said, "That's okay, there are still a few days, so think quickly about what birthday gift you are going to give Xiao Ai then!"
Ai Xiao interrupted: "Don't listen to her nonsense. You can just come over when the time comes. There is no need to prepare gifts."
The three people walked to the school gate and then separated.
Xiao Man stared blankly in the direction Ai Xiao left, and didn't react until someone tapped him on the shoulder.
"What are you doing standing there dumbly? Are you still looking at the goddess?"
"Lao Hu, don't talk nonsense."
Xiaoman punched him. The guy next to him was his best friend, named Hu Haipeng.
