Cultivation Shura Field

Song Xingye murmured in a low voice: "I think I should stop worrying about it in the future..."

The girl realized how complicated people are. Her own ideas, her best friend's ideas, and Xu Zhe's ideas were all different. When you put yourself in other people's shoes, your expectations are often contrary to reality.

Of course, this doesn't mean that she will give up thinking in the future. She just needs to think more carefully, think more about herself and Xu Zhe, and pay less attention to others.

Seeing her like this, Tang Lingfei felt a little uneasy: "Are you okay? I really didn't cheat, and Xu Zhe didn't say anything. I think it might be because the weather is too hot, and I feel dizzy and swollen..."

Song Xingye smiled and waved his hand: "Okay Feifei, I'm fine."

Tang Lingfei asked tentatively, "How about I go talk to Xu Zhe and ask him to recognize you as his sister? I think he agreed quite readily."

Song Xingye shook her head slightly: "That's not necessary. I already have a sister and a sister. It would be very boring to have a third one."

Tang Lingfei: "What should we do then?"

Song Xingye: "Didn't I tell you that I just wanted to study hard during my three years in high school?"

Tang Lingfei couldn't sit still any longer, so she stood up and said hurriedly, "But you'll be at a disadvantage if you do this!"

Song Xingye: "Don't you believe that I can be pure and abstain from desire for three years?"

Tang Lingfei: "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just... I think this is unfair to you."

Song Xingye smiled and stretched out her hand to rub her best friend's head. Although she was shorter than Feifei, her gesture made her look like a caring sister.

The quiet girl said, "Since you also think it's unfair, then let me have some time alone with Xu Zhe. I also have something to ask him."

Tang Lingfei hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and agreed: "No problem!"

After dinner, Tang Lingfei took Song Xingye to Xu Zhe's house and played for a while.

As the night deepened, the girls should go home. But Xu Zhe noticed that Song Xingye was sitting quietly in a daze, as if she was worried about something.

He reminded: "It's getting late, let's go home?"

Tang Lingfei: "Okay, but Xiao Ye..."

Xu Zhe: "I'll take her home."

As soon as the voice fell, Tang Lingfei smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's go out now."

Then the three boys and girls went out, first sending Tang Lingfei to the door of her house, and then Xu Zhe sent Song Xingye back. But when waving goodbye, Tang Lingfei said one more sentence: "Goodbye, brother."

This made Xu Zhe feel a little nervous.

When walking out of the community, he quietly observed the expression of another girl next to him, but didn't see any clues.

He suddenly asked, "Is this your advice to Feifei?"

"What suggestion?" Song Xingye thought for a moment and then realized, "Oh, are you talking about the sibling thing?"

Xu Zhe nodded.

Song Xingye smiled lightly: "She wanted to recognize you as her brother, I encouraged her to speak out bravely, and then... I saw that you didn't seem to object."

"Yeah, nothing to object to."

Xu Zhe's tone was also calm. He was wondering if Tang Lingfei did that because his affair with Shen Lan had been discovered. But since the other party didn't bring it up, he couldn't say anything.

After walking a little further, Xu Zhe suddenly said, "I have to go to the provincial capital next week to do some things."

Song Xingye suddenly stopped.

Xu Zhe turned around and stared at her, explaining: "Shen Lan went to the Northeast to compete, and I'm the only one in the provincial capital. I have to visit my grandparents, and I have some business to attend to..."

The girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "Want to rent a house near the school?"

Hearing this, Xu Zhe was shocked: "How did you know?"

Song Xingye smiled and said, "In fact, I have long wondered whether you would rent a house outside the school during high school. You have a lot of money, and you don't seem to like making friends with others, and you also want to play games... If I were you, I would definitely rent a house. And I heard that every year there are parents who rent houses to accompany their children in Experimental High School. Now that another class of seniors has graduated, there must be a lot of vacancies."

Xu Zhe was stunned for a few seconds and muttered, "The logic is indeed not complicated, but you really have thought of this."

He originally thought that he needed to explain more, but he didn't expect that his intentions had already been predicted by the girl in front of him.

Song Xingye raised her little face slightly: "Of course, I am concerned about employment issues."

Xu Zhe: "Employment problem?"

Song Xingye: "Yes, it's my own employment problem. You wanted to make games and start a business during the three years of high school, so I couldn't just sit there doing nothing."

Xu Zhe had already realized what she wanted to say, and deliberately put on a stern and serious expression: "You have to study hard."

Song Xingye smiled slightly: "While studying hard, you also need to hone your life skills. When you go to college, you will still need to be able to take care of yourself. It just so happens that I have a job now that can help me hone my life skills and exercise my self-care ability..."

Xu Zhe asked cautiously, "You're not still thinking about being a maid, are you?"

Song Xingye frowned slightly: "Is it not possible to have a free internship?"

Xu Zhe: "This is not about money. The key is that I'm really not used to having other people around me! Do you know why I want to rent a house? I actually want to apply to the new school this time, so they don't arrange a dormitory for me, and just let me live outside by myself. I don't want to go out on weekends, I want to be alone all the time. I'm just not used to having other people around me."

Song Xingye was silent. The words he had prepared before became particularly weak after Xu Zhe's confession.

So the next moment, the girl's eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Xu Zhe was a little panicked: "Uh, don't cry..."

If I really cry now and use my tears to win the sympathy of my beloved, will it work? It seems feasible, but Song Xingye doesn't want to do it.

She suddenly felt like she was a bit redundant. After all, Xu Zhe was fine being alone, and he really didn't need girls to bother him, right? Whether it was Feifei or herself, or perhaps Senior Sister Shen Lan, Xu Zhe wanted to keep a distance from everyone, because he didn't want the trouble brought by girls to affect his work...

Song Xingye couldn't help but start thinking, if he just disappeared, would Xu Zhe feel relieved?

But she couldn't say it directly. Otherwise, with his usual kindness, the girl knew that she would definitely get some comfort or even indulgence. However, it was okay to have some tricks when facing other girls in the Shura Field, but she didn't want to burden Xu Zhe with such tricks.

So she tried to put on her usual calm smile and said, "I'm fine, let's go."

But just as she said this, she found Xu Zhe raised his hand and touched her cheek. Then she realized that the boy was wiping her tears, and his strength was still so gentle.

It turns out that I really shed tears.

Xu Zhe whispered, "You may have misunderstood what I meant. I don't hate having you around, I'm just more used to being alone. Besides, I'm worried that if you stay around me, it will affect your studies."

The girl wanted to remain calm, but now she was a little overwhelmed.

She choked up and asked, "Do you think... I'm a fool?"

Xu Zhe: "Ah? Of course you're not stupid, you're one of the smartest girls I've ever met."

Song Xingye: "I want to go to college with you, so I must work hard. How can I do it without hard work? Do you have so little confidence in my self-control?"

Xu Zhe sighed, "Well, your self-control is indeed strong, probably stronger than mine."

"I..." Song Xingye was about to continue speaking, but suddenly realized that what he had just said, 'I want to go to college with you', seemed to be almost a confession.

But what if she confessed her feelings and was rejected? Feifei still remembered the scene when her classmate was rejected by Xu Zhe.

And even if it wasn't such a strong and decisive rejection, the mere confession of love was a serious violation of the agreement between him and Feifei.

She felt that sneaking in was one thing, but cheating directly to the finish line was another.

Fortunately, Xu Zhe did not press the issue of "going to college together" any further.

Facing the girl's tears and sincerity, he scratched the back of his head, feeling quite complicated. He did feel a little troubled, but he was more happy than expected.

After all, being liked by such a cute and beautiful girl is a pleasant thing in itself.

So he hesitated and said, "Then let's talk about work again..."

"Then let's talk about work..."

Hearing this, the girl's almond-shaped eyes blinked and her tears seemed to freeze.

But she said nothing.

Because the other party's previous reaction was beyond her expectations, this turn of events made her completely unprepared. Combined with the influence of emotions, her clever little head went blank.

Xu Zhe waited for a few seconds and saw no reply, then continued, "If you really want to work for me, you can. But the word maid is really inappropriate. How about this, you can be my personal assistant, okay?"

Song Xingye took a deep breath, still speechless, but nodded vigorously.

The president’s personal assistant or something like that… She had seen it in more than one romance novel. It was so ambiguous!

Xu Zhe stretched out his hands and wiped gently with his fingers. From her eyes, to the white cheeks under her eyelids, to the corners of her mouth with dimples, all the places stained with tears were taken care of by his fingers. As he wiped carefully like this, he suddenly felt that this little face was particularly well-behaved and cute.

It was like a snow lotus that was inaccessible to others, but now I was holding it in my hands and caressing it at will. The cold shell had long been broken, leaving only the delicate petals.

Well, I have to say it feels really soft. Wait, even if it's just wiping someone's tears, isn't this a bit too much?

Xu Zhe, who was almost addicted to it, realized that something was wrong and quickly withdrew his hands.

Fortunately, Song Xingye's tears stopped flowing at this time. But when she came to her senses and pursed her lips, she still felt a little regretful - if he could touch her a little more, how great would that be?

Xu Zhe cleared his throat and tried to bring the atmosphere between the two back on track with a more serious topic: "Okay, then I understand that you agree to this offer. But I have to talk about the salary first. One thousand yuan a month during the probation period..."

Before he could finish his words, Song Xingye interrupted him and said, "I don't want that much. That's my dad's salary. He will help you with the paperwork and contact outsourcing for you. Those jobs are only worth a thousand yuan. I can only help you with housework now, and I don't have much experience."

Xu Zhe asked back: "Then how much do you think is appropriate per month?"

Song Xingye thought about it and finally laughed: "Three hundred yuan a month, and the probation period is three years, which is our entire high school period."

Xu Zhe: "Only 300 a month, isn't that about the same as your previous pocket money?"

Song Xingye smiled and said, "That's enough. I'm satisfied with the pocket money I had before, and I don't want more. I recently read a book, The Queen of the Beheaded. There is a sentence in the book that says, she was too young at that time..."

“I don’t know that all the gifts given by fate have already been secretly marked with a price.”

Xu Zhe had not read the book, but a few years later, this sentence would become more and more famous, so that people who didn't know the title of the book would have seen it more than once.

Song Xingye was pleasantly surprised at first, as if she had found a soulmate. But then she thought again and felt that it was natural. If there was a boy in the world who could resonate with her, then without a doubt, it must be him.

The girl smiled even more happily and said, "So I don't want to take too much salary from you. It's enough to just get the share that I deserve."

Xu Zhe: "But even so, isn't three hundred a month too little?"

Song Xingye shook his head: "It's not a small amount. Think about it, I have to study hard and can't live outside like you. I can only leave school on weekends to do the work of an assistant. The only days of the month that are working days are the weekends, so the salary must be much less."

Xu Zhe: "Then the probation period..."

Song Xingye: "If we can't go to college together, what's the point of getting a full-time job? As I said before, I just want what I deserve, and the rest depends on my efforts."

The girl's expression became more restrained and her tone became quite serious.

Seeing this, Xu Zhe no longer tried to change her treatment, but just sighed: "Why don't you all want money..."

Song Xingye was a little nervous.

It is known that Tang Lingfei had no reason to be "hired", so who did he refer to as "you"? Besides himself, was it Shen Lan?

I don't want money, of course, because I want more. Compared with my real goal, that little money is nothing.

But Song Xingye was only slightly nervous when he thought of this. After all, didn't he already know that Shen Lan also liked him? The love rival was already in place, and this was unavoidable.

So, what should I do now?

Song Xingye realized that the arguments he had prepared before did not need to be abandoned. Because Xu Zhe brought the topic back, some of the methods could be used again.

The girl patted her chest gently to calm down. Just thinking about what she was going to say later, she felt so ashamed that she wanted to crawl into the ground. But this was something she had to face, and it was part of her job!

Xu Zhe certainly didn't think about her thoughts, he just said: "Let's go, I'll take you home first."

He was about to turn around and take a step forward when he found that the corner of his clothes was pulled by a small hand.

The girl's pretty face flushed as she stared at him quietly.
