Chapter 120 Our family is well-off, but I am poor (some people don’t like to read about the Qian family, so I’ll just post one more chapter)
After returning home with a belly full of gossip, Wu Xianyu naturally told Lin Miaomiao about it, and they both sighed.
But there is not much time left for them to relax, as the winter vacation is officially over.
When they returned to school, the students only felt that the burden on them had become heavier. Now it is rare to see people relaxing during breaks. They are either in a hurry or lying on the table to rest.
Lin Miaomiao looked at the classroom door and saw a boy from another class bringing snacks to the girls in the class. She couldn't help smacking her lips.
“So arrogant!”
After he finished speaking, Wu Xianyu took out some snacks from his desk and handed them to Lin Miaomiao.
"Give"
"Hey, I don't mean to eat snacks."
Although she said that, Lin Miaomiao quickly put away the snacks. Wu Xianyu glanced at her and said nothing.
After taking a bite of dried fruit, Lin Miaomiao looked out the window.
"Why doesn't the school care? It's so obvious. The teachers are not blind."
"I don't know. Basically, teachers in our area are as nervous as ever when there is any sign of something wrong. This is only true for good students. Teachers with average grades would rather go home and get married."
Wu Xianyu did not stop writing and had already started the second review. This time he was still laying a solid foundation. Although they were all questions he knew how to answer, Wu Xianyu continued to write calmly.
"Hey, it makes me feel itchy"
Lin Miaomiao said with a hint of meaning. Wu Xianyu tilted his head to look at her, without stopping his hand movements.
"As long as you give the order, I will stand up and confess my feelings to you in front of the whole class."
"Shh, shh, shh, stop, please take a break."
Lin Miaomiao quickly turned around to comfort Wu Xianyu. She was just a little envious of those who acted openly and honestly, but she still had her rationality.
We chatted and relieved some stress, and soon the class bell rang again.
Tang Yuanming walked into the classroom and did not start teaching directly. Instead, he knocked on the desk with his knuckles, asking everyone to look up.
"Come on, recently some people have complained that their seats haven't been changed for a while and they can't see the blackboard clearly. We'll use a few minutes to make some minor adjustments during this class. Those whose names I call, please pack up your things and we'll change seats later."
A few names were called. At first, the classroom was quiet, but as more names were called, people in the audience began to whisper. Looking at the people whose names were called and the seats that were about to be changed, the expressions on some people's faces were intriguing.
Lin Miaomiao also reacted, touched Wu Xianyu, tilted her body and whispered
“Is this the list?”
"cough"
Wu Xianyu interrupted Lin Miaomiao's words. Feeling the gaze directed at her, Lin Miaomiao immediately shut up and raised her head little by little. Sure enough, she saw Tang Yuanming looking at her unintentionally. Her heart skipped a beat and she lowered her head guiltily.
Tang Yuanming looked at his former niece and said nothing. The change of seats this time was naturally arranged. After the seats were adjusted, the couples with potential in the class were arranged to sit together.
But if he had to say that the couple most likely to be together or even already together in the class would be his former niece and her deskmate, it would be that different students have different education methods. As for Lin Miaomiao, Tang Yuanming could see that Wu Xianyu had made a great contribution to her current grades, so it was not so important whether to change seats or not. After all, grades were the most important thing.
Moreover, Tang Yuanming knew clearly that the two lived on the upper and lower floors. Judging from his eldest sister's attitude, she didn't agree with their relationship, but she didn't oppose it either. So he shouldn't do anything unnecessary.
Taking his eyes off Lin Miaomiao, Tang Yuanming looked at the noisy class. Seeing that the seats had been changed almost completely, he looked at the new deskmates with awkward expressions. He smiled inwardly, but his expression remained calm. He patted the table.
"Okay, let's continue the class after we change seats. We need to make up for the wasted time and turn to the textbook."
Feeling the gaze on her disappear, Lin Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Wu Xianyu, only to find that he actually winked at her. Damn it, it's already this late and he's still causing trouble.
After a whole class of anxiety, Lin Miaomiao pretended to be calm and chatted with Wu Xianyu, but the words she said were not so calm.
"Xianyu, what do you think Old Tang means by this?"
"Nip the possibility of love in the bud"
Wu Xianyu was really calm. He also noticed it when Tang Yuanming looked at Lin Miaomiao, otherwise he would not have reminded Lin Miaomiao.
".Then Old Tang looked at me just now."
"It's fine"
Wu Xianyu comforted him with a smile on his face.
"Do you really think you can hide our relationship from Old Tang? With the way we go up and down the stairs, and the fact that Old Tang chats with your mom, I think Old Tang knows everything."
“Then why didn’t he separate us?”
"Will it work? At most it will make us unhappy for a few days, but if our grades become unstable because of our unhappiness, he will have a headache."
Wu Xianyu supported his chin and gave a brief explanation. Lin Miaomiao probably understood it, but she still didn't understand why people who might be in love were arranged to sit together. Regarding this, Wu Xianyu just showed an expression of watching a good show.
"Just wait and see, you'll understand once you've seen it"
“mysterious”
Lin Miaomiao muttered a few words, but still waited patiently for what Wu Xianyu was going to say.
Lin Miaomiao didn't have to wait too long. Before a week had passed, several pairs of new classmates had conflicts, either overt or covert, and it seemed that they were about to never have anything to do with each other again.
During the lunch break, Lin Miaomiao and Mai Ju sat together. She didn't understand why this happened, but Mai Ju was quite experienced and sneered.
“Distance creates beauty. This is not just a saying. When there is a distance between two people, the person seeing each other will be filtered by themselves. When the distance is shortened, the filter is broken, and all you see is disappointment.”
Hearing Mai Ju's meaningful words, Lin Miaomiao looked at her face and said in an inexplicable tone.
"Oh~ Just like your first love, right?"
Mai Ju turned around and rolled his eyes at Lin Miaomiao without saying anything. Lin Miaomiao didn't mind and continued to talk to herself.
"Then why is there nothing going on between me and the salted fish?"
"Because you two have shown your true colors from the beginning. You both know each other's strengths and weaknesses. He knows that you like to eat, and you know that he is lazy. As for the others, they are all acting in front of the people they admire. Speaking of acting, it is impossible for people to act all the time. It would be too tiring. When you can't act anymore, that's when the conflict between the two of you begins."
"Tsk tsk, you are worthy of being the love master - Teacher Mai Ju, your words are deafening and thought-provoking"
Lin Miaomiao held the thermos cup, drank the hot tea that Wu Xianyu had prepared for her, and listened to Mai Ju's explanation with a smile.
Mai Ju looked at Lin Miaomiao like this, and unhappily stretched out his cold hands and stuffed them into Lin Miaomiao's neck. While she was laughing and hesitating, he put his other hand under the hem of her clothes.
"I told you to show your affection in front of me every day, I'll freeze you to death"
"No, no, no, it's cold. My period is about to come. Stop stuffing me in."
After hearing what Lin Miaomiao said, Mai Ju let her go.
After returning to school on the weekend, Wu Xianyu ate the dishes cooked by Jiang Tianhao and nodded to show his approval. "That's good. I think some small restaurants don't cook as well as you do. It's good, Haozi. It seems that you have some talent in cooking."
"Humph, during the winter vacation I told you that my skills had improved but you didn't believe me."
Jiang Tianhao had a look of pride on his face and felt extremely satisfied as he ate the meal he cooked.
"The main thing is that it wasn't a braised dish that time. As long as the seasoning was good, the taste wouldn't be that bad. This time is different. There are still a lot of things to master when cooking. So? Are you going to stay in this business?"
"That won't happen."
Jiang Tianhao wiped his mouth and leaned back in his chair, looking indifferent.
"Cooking is my way of relieving stress. The pressure is really great now. Sometimes I feel like I'm going to collapse when I encounter a problem I can't solve. I've even bitten several ballpoint pens."
“Then your way of relieving stress is quite good.”
Wu Xianyu wiped his mouth, finished dinner, stretched, and stood up to wash the lunch box. Jiang Tianhao followed him and they went to the bathroom together. Jiang Tianhao asked by the way
"What about you? You must be under a lot of pressure as well. How do you relieve it?"
"me"
Lin Miaomiao's face appeared in Wu Xianyu's mind. His Adam's apple rolled, but his expression did not change.
"Petting a cat, the sound of a cat purring is quite relaxing."
"makes sense"
The next morning, Lin Miaomiao heard that Jiang Tianhao used cooking to relieve stress, and her expression was a little envious.
“It’s great, it relieves stress and fills your stomach at the same time.”
After saying that, Lin Miaomiao fluttered her eyes and looked at Wu Xianyu, who looked defensive.
"I'll make whatever you want to eat."
“Yeah, haha.”
Lin Miaomiao laughed twice as if she remembered something and looked at Wu Xianyu.
"So how do you decompress?"
Wu Xianyu stared at Lin Miaomiao's lips for a few seconds without saying a word. Feeling Wu Xianyu's burning gaze, Lin Miaomiao spat lightly, looked around cautiously, and glared at Wu Xianyu.
Taking his gaze back, Wu Xianyu raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Miaomiao.
"how about you?"
Lin Miaomiao also stared at Wu Xianyu's lips, and Wu Xianyu's mouth corners curled up.
"Hey, female hooligan"
The topic was over. Lin Miaomiao was just taking out her book to read in the morning when she suddenly remembered something and patted her forehead.
"I was just about to tell you something, but you almost forgot it."
Motioning Wu Xianyu to come closer, Lin Miaomiao whispered
"I saw Deng Xiaoqi's live broadcast last night. There were quite a few people watching. The gifts kept flooding the screen. I guess she made a lot of money."
Seeing the envy on Lin Miaomiao's face, Wu Xianyu was a little curious.
"Actually, I've always been a little curious about why you value money so much. Your family is considered well-off, right?"
"My family is well-off, but I am poor."
Lin Miaomiao said that she was deeply saddened
"You don't know, I didn't get a hundred-yuan bill for the first time until I was in junior high school, and I used it to pay tuition. At that time, my daily pocket money was only five yuan. Five yuan, I was still two yuan short of buying a pancake. You don't know how greedy I was every day when I passed by the street full of delicious food in front of the school."
"Later, after I told my dad about this, he felt sorry for me and gave me an extra 72 yuan a day so that I could eat more. I thought my good life would begin. But suddenly one day, I don't know if my dad leaked the news, but my mom broke into the house and confiscated all the 5 yuan in cash I had saved, saying it was not safe for me to carry so much money at such a young age."
It is so touching that anyone who hears it will cry and feel sad. Wu Xianyu felt his heart trembling when he heard it, but why couldn't he help but curl up the corners of his mouth?
Lin Miaomiao couldn't stop talking about this. She drank a sip of water from the thermos and sighed comfortably.
"Fortunately, I made it through. I made a small fortune with my grades in the first year of high school, and I also made some money with the official account in the second year of high school. Now I still have a little surplus. Now I don’t have to get hot water myself every morning. I can drink hot water at the perfect temperature as soon as I enter the classroom. I feel happy just thinking about it."
As she spoke, Lin Miaomiao looked at Wu Xianyu and playfully winked at him with her right eye.
Looking at Lin Miaomiao's cute appearance, Wu Xianyu pursed his lips and restrained his impulse. Seeing that Wu Xianyu was about to transform into an orc, Lin Miaomiao immediately put away her smile and moved a little further away, fearing that Wu Xianyu would do something irrational.
Wu Xianyu curled his lips. He was not insane. He would not go wild in school. He changed the subject.
"What was Deng Xiaoqi's live broadcast about? Why did so many people send her gifts?"
Seeing that Wu Xianyu had returned to normal, Lin Miaomiao came over again and told Wu Xianyu about the live broadcast she watched last night. Although she knew that talking behind people's backs was not a good thing, she just couldn't help herself.
"I watched for a while, but didn't see much. It was just Deng Xiaoqi chatting with netizens and bragging. There was nothing substantial. She was just wearing something a little too cool. It was still winter, but she was wearing a skirt."
Hearing Lin Miaomiao's description, Wu Xianyu immediately understood and shook his head.
"Isn't this just relying on one's face to make a living? I don't know what Qian Sanyi is thinking."
Wu Xianyu's statement was still a bit euphemistic. According to his inner thoughts, Deng Xiaoqi already had the prototype of a borderline female anchor, but in front of Lin Miaomiao, he still didn't want her to know this. Although Lin Miaomiao was not a little girl who knew nothing, Wu Xianyu just didn't want her to know, and wanted to protect her innocence to the greatest extent.
"Qian Sanyi, I think his narrow-minded heart must have been unhappy for a long time."
Lin Miaomiao speculated a little and shook her head.
Just as Wu Xianyu and Lin Miaomiao guessed, Qian Sanyi was very unhappy with Deng Xiaoqi's current live broadcast. Not to mention what it meant to wear a skirt to broadcast live in the middle of winter, he was just jealous of being amused by those netizens every day.
But whenever he mentioned her live broadcast, Deng Xiaoqi would use the excuse that she was saving money. He thought this reason was ridiculous, but he couldn't directly refute the person who said it.
Seeing Deng Xiaoqi deliberately standing up in front of the camera to expose her legs in a short skirt, Qian Sanyi felt that he could no longer bear it.
After the live broadcast ended, Qian Sanyi took out his bank card and gave it to Deng Xiaoqi
"Don't broadcast live anymore, from now on what's mine is yours"
