Fortunately, Xia Xu rented a building and there were a lot of empty rooms left. He could just choose one for the father and daughter to stay in for the time being. The original bedding and other things could still be used.
"By the way...it seems that the landlady has received a lunch box. Who will I pay the rent to from now on?"
After Luo Hongyun and the others were settled, Xia Xu suddenly thought of a serious question.
I don’t know if the landlady has any sons, daughters, etc…
"Forget it, let's not think about this for now. Anyway, I paid this month's rent."
No longer thinking about these things, Xia Xu happily took back the mechanical centipede spine that Uncle Luo had helped hide before. After playing with it for a while, he solemnly put it away again. Then he fulfilled his promise and took Atuo with him.
Go straight to the wet market and supermarket and choose whatever you want to eat.
Atuo can be said to have taken the greatest credit this time, so he cannot be treated unfairly.
"By the way...I seem to have forgotten something."
After working for more than an hour, Xia Xu made a large bowl of beef and high-end dog food for Atuo. Xia Xu, who had just stopped to take a break and drink water, felt as if he had forgotten something important.
I took out my phone and took a look...
on Monday.
"Pfft, Ri, cough, damn, I forgot that I have to go to class today."
A numbness hit Tianling Gai directly from the tail vertebrae, and Xia Xu's whole body was numb.
Last night, I invited Hong Bo and the others to dinner and drank some wine. When they came back, they were attacked and killed. Then they were taken to the bureau and squatted for most of the night. How could they remember going to class on Monday?
"Atuo, let's go, let's go quickly."
Dragging Atuo, who had a full face and was digesting his food, Xia Xu ran like crazy, stopped the taxi and got into the car in one go.
…
All schools rang the bell to end the lunch break. There was a ten-minute break between classes, and then the first class in the afternoon began.
Unfortunately, the first afternoon period for Class 2, Grade 3, Xingcheng No. 3 Middle School belonged to Liu Xiulan, the head teacher and English teacher.
"Hello students."
"Hello teacher."
Liu Xiulan walked into the classroom holding the lesson plan, stood up and greeted her as usual, and then prepared to start the normal class.
But when she saw Xia Xu's unique vacant seat, she frowned: "Ma Bing, where is Xia Xu?"
Liu Xiulan was probably not around in the morning, and the other teachers in the subjects were not so concerned because they were not 'responsible' for it. They just thought that Xia Xu had asked for leave or something, and did not get to the bottom of the matter. Therefore, Xia Xu's absence from class happened to be a coincidence.
Muddle through.
But now I can't hide it anymore.
The cavalry soldier whose name was called and questioned suddenly had a bitter look on his face.
This is not an easy problem to deal with.
He didn't dare to lie to the class teacher. After all, for most high school students, the prestige of the class teacher was definitely ten thousand times more terrifying than that of their own parents or even national institutions.
But let's be honest. Could it be that Xia Xu missed all classes today? Then he and Xia Xu were so close that they would never be friends, let alone roommates.
Moreover, what they hate the most at their age are those who snitch on the teacher. Even after being beaten by their classmates, they still refuse to tell the teacher. If they hit Xia Xu in public, it would be a social death.
"This...Xia Xu...Xia Xu..."
Ma Bing hesitated for a long time, his helpless and pleading eyes swept over the students around him, and what he was greeted with were snickering and gloating at the same time.
"Report... report!"
From the back of the classroom, a timid voice suddenly sounded.
At this critical moment, everyone's attention was naturally attracted, especially after seeing that the speaker was Tang Youxin, who was usually autistic and had no sense of existence at all.
However, the cavalry soldier seemed to have seen his savior at this time, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Xiulan also turned her attention to Tang Youxin who raised her hand and said: "Say it."
"Liu...Teacher Liu, Xia Xu...he asked me to ask for leave for him, but I...I forgot."
Dozens of focused gazes, as well as Liu Xiulan's majestic gaze, made Tang Youxin, who usually didn't even dare to talk to others, feel uneasy and stood up as if there were springs on her butt.
As a result, she felt even more uncomfortable while standing, and the gazes were stabbing her body like knives, making her feel like she was standing on the execution platform, being punished with a thousand cuts.
After suppressing her blush and mustering up her courage several times, she stuttered out a complete sentence and then lowered her head. As if she was waiting for the trial, she wanted to hide her head in a hole in the ground.
"real?"
Liu Xiulan frowned majestically: "Why should you ask for leave when he asks for leave? What about others? Why do you need to ask for leave?"
She was actually a little suspicious of Tang Youxin's words, but considering that this girl and Xia Xu had seemed a bit ambiguous before, it wasn't impossible for Xia Xu to ask her to ask for leave.
"me……"
These words stopped Tang Youxin in his tracks. He was so hasty and impulsive that he could not worry about the follow-up.
The birth of a lie often requires more lies to cover it up.
But this was the first time in her life that she, who had always been a good girl, had intentionally lied on her own initiative, and it was obviously impossible for her to understand this in advance.
"Yes, why is Tang Youxin asking for leave for Xia Xu? You should also ask the cavalry for help, right?"
"Hehe, you are very ignorant about this. Brother Xu and Tang Youxin have been very close to each other recently, and they are so cute."
"Hey, you said they two...?"
"Definitely. Although I didn't say it explicitly, who doesn't know that they eat and get out of school together every day? I heard that Tang Youxin's grades in the last monthly exam got worse, and I almost called her parents..."
"Don't tell me, I just discovered that Tang Youxin is really good-looking, but unfortunately her personality is too weird. She stays in her seat like a nerd all day long, not moving or talking to anyone..."
Compared to Liu Xiulan, the other people's focus was obviously different. They were full of gossips and whispers, some of which were very close and unabashedly passed into Tang Youxin's ears, making her blush from her neck to her ears with embarrassment.
"What are you mumbling? What are you mumbling? You're all talking nonsense, aren't you?"
At the back door of the classroom, a panting figure pushed open the door. Before he could catch his breath, he swallowed forcibly and then yelled, laughed and cursed, interrupting everyone's murmurings and drawing all eyes to him.
This is of course Xia Xu.
"I'm sorry, Teacher Liu, I had something to do this morning, and I happened to meet Tang Youxin on the way, so I asked her to take a leave of absence."
Xia Xu also heard a little bit of the whole story from everyone's murmurs. After interrupting everyone and completing the 'rescue' of Xiao Baihua, he immediately corrected his attitude and explained to Liu Xiulan.
"You can ask for leave just by asking for it? If she asks for leave for you without giving a valid reason, it won't count. It will still be treated as truancy."
Liu Xiulan also looked serious.
Even if she could be accommodating in other matters, she wouldn't do it, but the classroom atmosphere must not be distorted. This matter of absenteeism without saying a word is really bad in nature and may lead to others to follow suit.
"Yes, yes, of course, Mr. Liu, I was asked to go to the police station to make a record because I acted bravely today, to fulfill my civic duty of cooperating with the police uncle in enforcing the law. This is finally a legitimate reason, right?"
Xia Xu said quickly.
"You? Are you brave enough to do justice?"
Liu Xiulan looked at Xia Xu up and down with a suspicious look on her face: "What did you do? Can anyone prove it?"
"Of course, I, no, to be precise, it's my dog. I fought bravely against gangsters and human traffickers and saved people from danger, so I was invited to the police station to make a record. They also said they would give me a banner for my bravery."
Xia Xu took out his mobile phone and said: "If you don't believe it, Mr. Liu, you can call and verify. I have left the phone number of one of the police officers..."
This was not nonsense. Whether it was a coincidence from the previous times or a small favor this time, he specifically asked for the private number of the police officer with the Chinese character.
And I made it clear on the way here, so they are naturally willing to cooperate.
After all, he is a high school student and still needs to study and live. It is impossible for him to publicly say how many people he killed. Yesterday, the police station even hired someone to provide him with psychological counseling for a long time because of this matter - even though he, the client, and
The police officers in charge of him all agreed that this was unnecessary and useless.
In short, it's good to cooperate in the end and characterize this incident as a righteous one. Anyway, that's what it is.
"I've written down the number and I'll go back to verify it after class. You take your seat first and start class."
Liu Xiulan's face calmed down a little, she wrote down her phone number, and then started class directly so as not to waste everyone's time.
As the unlucky guy who has left a 'deep' impression today, Xia Xu, who usually rarely gets called out by name, has completely become the focus of attention. This time he just spoke for a few minutes and said, 'Xia Xu, please answer.'
It's like a magic sound filling your ears.
Roll call is probably the way most teachers remind and punish students.
If it were the original person or another class, this sentence would naturally be like a life-threatening demonic sound, but Xia Xu was really not weak at all in terms of English. He stood up and answered fluently.
"When did your English become so good?"
Because it was a rather complicated question, it was specifically used to embarrass Xia Xu and sound the alarm. Therefore, Liu Xiulan was greatly surprised when Xia Xu answered rightly and directly continued to ask in English.
Unlike other so-called English teachers who are pretentious, in order to take care of students with poor grades, she usually does not communicate in English the whole time just to show how awesome she is.
Maybe some teachers really think that it is easy to improve spoken language, but she does not think this is a good behavior.
After all, the purpose of their classes is to teach English. If students can really understand everything, there is no need for them to teach.
And even if most of them understand, there will always be those who don't. Doing this will undoubtedly completely abandon those poor students and those who can't keep up, and even ruthlessly deprive them of the opportunity to study and work hard.
Besides, Xia Guo's English class is basically used for exam-oriented education. Speaking is not that important. Teaching a few top students to speak better is definitely not as practical as teaching the whole class a few more words.
"Just recently, I specially found a few foreign friends for practice. Well, a few hunters who claimed to be hunting werewolves probably sounded like nonsense. After all, how could there be werewolves in this world, right?"
Xia Xu's response after hearing her words finally convinced Liu Xiulan that it was not an illusion.
After trying it several times in succession, she had to admit that Xia Xu had given her a surprise.
I don't know about other courses, but as far as her course is concerned, Xia Xu, a scumbag who has been studying for ten thousand years, has changed completely.
Originally, she was also extremely troubled by the student Xia Xu, because this student did not just dislike studying and gave up on studying, but because of complex family situations and various psychological factors.
According to his experience, this kind of students are the most difficult to dissuade and are also the most likely to accidentally cause big problems. They can only rely on them to figure things out and come out of many things on their own.
Now it seems that Xia Xu has gradually come out, and has made such gratifying progress in just over half a month. If he continues to sprint in the last month or so, he might actually be able to get admitted to a bachelor's degree.
Is it the effect of falling in love?
The ignorant first love is soothing and sounds quite romantic, but I don’t know what Tang Youxin is like.
It would be a good phenomenon if they could promote each other and improve their academic performance...
"Sit down, keep this state from now on, and keep working hard. The same goes for other subjects."
Liu Xiulan raised her hand and pressed it twice.
"OK."
Xia Xu sat down amid the shock and disbelief of countless classmates.
"Oh, Brother Xu, I called you brother, how did you do it, what did you say to Laoban just now."
Others were still inconvenient to attend class, but Ma Bing pulled Xia Xu's arm excitedly.
"Go, go, don't disturb me. Don't you see that I'm secretly enjoying myself?"
Xia Xu had successfully pretended to be a cliché in front of a group of 'little brats'. Xia Xu originally thought she wouldn't feel anything, but unexpectedly, she felt a little secretly happy.
Especially looking at the dumbfounded expressions of those who were gloating just now, it is so pleasing to the eye no matter what.
It seems that the preference for showing off is regardless of age or partner.
"Damn it, you actually pretended to be it. Did you memorize those English sentences in advance? What do those sentences mean?"
The cavalry soldiers guessed "full of malice".
As his deskmate who usually shares the same problem, he would never believe that Xia Xu could really learn English so quickly.
"I wasn't pretending just now. I was pretending before. Now I'm not pretending. I've shown my cards. In fact, my identity is a hidden academic master."
Xia Xu joked with a smile: "In fact, in order to blend in with you people, I deliberately controlled the points and lowered my grades. Now that the college entrance examination is coming soon, I naturally have to show some real strength."
No surprise, what he received was the look of disgust and contempt from the horse soldiers: "Qi, pretend, keep pretending, Nuo, this is the math test paper handed out in the morning. If you can make it, I will believe you."
Xia Xu: "..."
"Haha, I don't know you yet, yet you still pretend to be like me."
Seeing Xia Xu's speechless appearance, Ma Bing burst into laughter.
But it's not meant to be sarcastic, it's just a casual joke between friends.
After the English class was over, Liu Xiulan walked out of the classroom, and the others also dispersed to play and buy snacks. Those who didn't want to leave were also chased away by Xia Xuxiao.
"Did you want to lie and ask for leave for me when we were in class just now?"
When the classroom was empty, Xia Xu immediately moved to a seat in front of Xiao Baihua, sat upside down, supported his cheeks with his palms, and stared at her fair little face with a smile.
Well, it's so cute. The more you look at it, the more tempting it becomes. It really makes you want to take a bite.
"No."
Tang Youxin's eyes flickered and she tilted her head. Her long black hair covered most of her face, but Xia Xu could still vaguely see a trace of blush.
"Don't do this next time. I don't need you to suffer any grievances for me, and you must tell me any grievances you suffer. Do you understand?"
Xia Xu's tone was gentle but also a little serious.
In fact, he was quite worried about Xiao Baihua. Her delicate, timid and aggressive appearance and temperament could easily lead to bullying by others.
Whether it's jealousy or wanting to attract attention, many inconspicuous reasons may become the motivation for others to hurt her.
Her introverted character is actually very sensitive and easily hurt.
I usually don’t want to appear in crowded places, and I even habitually avoid the sight of people around me. I need to be mentally prepared in advance to talk to classmates I have been with for two or three years. I am often so shy that I act like an ostrich on the spot... This
How can I stop him from worrying and worrying?
But it was exactly like this that Xiao Baihua's actions just now made him feel moved.
It seemed like it was just a small lie to ask for leave, but to stand up and welcome everyone's attention, comments and misunderstandings, God knows how much courage she mustered up and how much psychological pressure she endured.
At this moment, he understood that this was a person he could never let down in his life.
She is also someone he is willing to carefully protect and not let her suffer any harm.
If pear blossoms bring rain or something, just let him see it for himself.
It is enough for the rest of the wind and rain to fall on you.
"Listen...I understand."
The sound of the tiny white flowers chirping came, weak and waxy.
"Do you know what I'm thinking?"
After hearing this, Xia Xu quickly put aside his seriousness and laughed.
"Think...what do you want?"
Tang Youxin was confused.
Xia Xu said with a smile: "I'm thinking it's best if you slap me in the face and curse you to understand your size."
Tang Youxin ignored her shyness and widened her eyes: "Ah? Why... why? Do you have..."
"Whatever you say, I just hope I can become stronger and not be so introverted."
Xia Xu knocked her on the head angrily, instantly attracting looks of defense and aggrieved eyes.

There are two chapters today, and the extra 800 will be calculated as interest (funny + dog head to save life). I will find a chance to make up for the one I owe later. I am not very good at writing dog food plots and it is quite slow, so today's plan to make up for it failed.
