Xu Guowei looked unconvinced.

Chapter 22 Childhood Sweethearts

2023-09-06

On Sunday morning, after Tang Lingfei got up and packed up, she sat on the edge of the bed in a daze for a long time.

Today her parents didn't work overtime, so she didn't want to watch TV. Otherwise, she would be annoyed by her parents nagging her, "Why don't you study?" or "Don't waste your precious time."

After being in a daze for a while, she picked up her English textbook, walked out of the bedroom and said loudly to her parents: "I'm going to find Xu Zhe to study."

My father's voice floated out from the study: "Go!"

The mother came over and asked, "Can Xu Zhe help you with your studies?"

Tang Lingfei: "Of course, he ranked first in his class and fourth in the whole grade last time!"

The mother shook her head: "I know he has good grades, but you go to see him every weekend. Are you really going there to study?"

Tang Lingfei was stunned for a moment, and slapped the textbook in her hand vigorously: "If I wasn't here to study, why would I bring this!"

The mother looked at her with the eyes of someone who had experienced it, as if she could see through the girl's little thoughts - studying was just a pretext, the English book was just a cover, she just wanted to find a playmate.

At this time, Tang Wanghai, the father, came out of the study and said, "I also want to go find Xu Zhe. I'll go with you."

Tang Lingfei and her mother were very confused: "Why are you looking for him?"

Tang Wanghai said as a matter of course: "Let's see if you are going there to study!"

Tang Lingfei: "..."

"Let's go, don't stand still."

Tang Wanghai changed his shoes and turned around to see that his daughter had a complicated expression.

----

When the father and daughter went to his house to ask, they found out that Xu Zhe had gone out to exercise early in the morning.

exercise?

This behavior made people feel that Xu Zhe's personality seemed to have changed again. In the past two months, although this kid suddenly became a good student, he was the type who would not move if he could.

The two went downstairs and walked a few more steps outside, and soon they met the boy who was jogging.

"Xu Zhe!" Tang Lingfei yelled, "What are you doing?"

Xu Zhe stopped in front of the father and daughter, panting and asking, "Can't you see?"

"I know you're running to exercise, but why..." The girl was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly realized a possibility, "Could it be that you want to exercise because you lost to me in arm wrestling?"

Xu Zhe: "Well, isn't this enough to discourage people?"

Tang Wanghai laughed: "Haha, you are usually so mature, but now you are a little childish. Feifei, I need to exercise and I don't have time to help you study. You should go home first."

Tang Lingfei was not convinced and said, "I can also go for a run and exercise."

Xu Zhe glanced at the English book in the girl's hand and said, "You can also learn while exercising. You can memorize words while jogging, that's all... Why are you staring at me?"

Tang Lingfei: "Are you a devil?"

"That's okay, but don't be impatient yet. Xiaozhe, come here and I'll discuss something with you."

Tang Wanghai put his arm around Xu Zhe's shoulders and walked a few steps to the side, avoiding his daughter.

Then he whispered, "Your prediction is right again. It has indeed been falling during this period. Fortunately, I am short. You said it will start to rise soon, but when exactly will it start?"

"It's almost November..." Xu Zhe thought for a while, "It's almost time to move in. I'll just buy yeast and Haier."

Tang Wanghai rubbed his hands: "Tomorrow?"

Xu Zhe: "Yes, tomorrow. Let me make this clear, Uncle Tang, if you do as I say, don't blame me if you lose money."

Tang Wanghai: "How can I blame you for what you said? We already agreed that I will bear the loss myself. I have already lost so much, so this little bit is not a big deal."

Xu Zhe didn't want to appear too confident. On the one hand, he himself didn't remember the details of the stock market very well, and on the other hand, after more than two months of rebirth, he didn't know if there would be any butterfly effect.

He is sure of the general trend of future development, but he dare not gamble on the details.

"Okay, take your time to exercise."

Tang Wanghai went back satisfied.

Tang Lingfei stared at Xu Zhe and asked, "You don't really want me to memorize words while running, do you?"

Xu Zhe: "It's up to you. You can run with me, or find a bench to sit down and memorize words."

The girl's little face was full of confusion: "Are there no other options? For example...can you take out the PSP?"

Xu Zhe laughed: "That won't work."

Tang Lingfei hugged his arm and acted coquettishly: "Please, just take it out and let me play with it..."

Xu Zhe: “Let go!”

Tang Lingfei: "Please..."

Xu Zhe: "Okay, okay, I'll give it to you later, just let go first!"

Tang Lingfei stuck out her tongue and let go of his arm with a smile. The girl realized that this guy couldn't stand this.

Xu Zhe looked back and confirmed that the girl's father was not there, and then he was slightly relieved. If the girl's parents saw what happened just now, he felt that it would be difficult for him to explain.

A few minutes later, Tang Lingfei succeeded in her plot. She sat down in the corner of the community and started playing the video game console.

Xu Zhe continued jogging in the community.

He had already run once yesterday, and his body was still a little sore after the run. But the young body has a strong ability to recover, and he was back to normal after a good night's sleep.

And starting this week, he seems to be somewhat addicted to sports.

In his previous life, due to physical reasons, he could only limp when walking, let alone running. In comparison, this body that can move freely, run and jump now seems so precious.

Especially when running, his muscles felt slightly warm and his chest and lungs relaxed, giving him a feeling of "this is what it's like to be alive."

After running another half circle, when he passed by where Tang Lingfei was sitting, he was suddenly stopped by the girl.

"Wait a minute! Don't you want to take a break?"

Xu Zhe stood there and took a breath: "You're not tired yet, why do you want to rest?"

Tang Lingfei: "Well, can you exercise here? You can do some push-ups, right here."

Xu Zhe: "Why?"

Tang Lingfei opened her mouth, but suddenly found that some words could not come out of her mouth. She wanted to say, "I finally get to play together on the weekend. Can you stay here with me?", but when the words came to her lips, she felt an inexplicable resistance.

So the girl whispered, "You need to exercise because you lost to me in arm wrestling. Running alone is useless. If you want to exercise your arms, you need to do push-ups."

Xu Zhe curled his lips and said, "Losing to you in arm wrestling is just a reminder for me to exercise. But the goal of exercise is not to defeat you in arm wrestling. That would be too easy."

Tang Lingfei: "Easy? I don't believe it. How about we try again?"

Xu Zhe: "Just try it, I'm afraid you won't succeed."

I completed the signing process today, and the editor said that I could change the title of the book... Then in the afternoon I started to worry about what title to change it to.

The update is late, sorry.

Chapter 23 The First Dream

2023-09-06

In the pavilion in the corner of the community, Xu Zhe and Tang Lingfei sat face to face across a small round stone table and started arm wrestling again.

This time, after more than ten seconds of stalemate, a smile gradually appeared on Xu Zhe's lips.

Because Tang Lingfei couldn't win even though her face turned red, and her hand was pressed lower and lower until the back of her hand touched the cold slate table.

The two men's hands separated.

Xu Zhe twisted his wrist in satisfaction: "I won."

Tang Lingfei looked dissatisfied: "It's just a one-to-one tie!"

Xu Zhe: "How about another try?"

Tang Lingfei stuck out her tongue and said "lululu" to refuse. She was not stupid. She had lost just now, and she would lose again if she tried again.

After a while, she couldn't help asking, "You've only been exercising for a few days, how come the effect is so good?"

Xu Zhe: "This only shows that the gap between us is very small. With a little practice, we can surpass him."

Tang Lingfei pressed her shoulders and moved them a few times: "So I should also exercise..."

"sure."

Xu Zhe turned his head and found that the girl had returned to her original seat with her PSP and started playing.

He stretched out his hand to cover the PSP screen: "Didn't you say you wanted to exercise?"

Tang Lingfei: "Oh, let's talk about it next time. I'm about to fight the lightning dragon."

Xu Zhe: "Next time?"

Tang Lingfei twisted her body to move the screen out of the range of his hand, and said, "I can only play this on Saturdays and Sundays. I can exercise on weekdays, so let's talk about it next time. Don't disturb me while I'm playing games."

Xu Zhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was about to say something else when he heard the voice of an elder.

"Tang Lingfei, what are you doing!"

Turning around, I saw that the person not far away was the girl's mother. She was holding a plastic bag of vegetables in her hand and had obviously just returned from the vegetable market.

Tang Lingfei jumped up as if she had been electrocuted, with her hands behind her back and a look of nervousness on her face.

Tang's mother: "What's that in your hand? Take it out!"

The girl shook her head. Seeing that her mother was getting angrier and angrier, she looked at Xu Zhe beside her with a look as if asking for help.

Xu Zhe sighed and said, "Auntie, I'm playing games here, and she just wanted to borrow mine to play."

Tang Lingfei quickly handed him the game console and said defensively, "Yes, I was just trying it out. I didn't play it for long at all!"

"You're still borrowing someone else's game console? You little bastard, don't you see what other people's test scores are and how many points you got? And you're still talking about studying? Is it studying to throw the book so far away? Come on, come home with me!"

Under the scolding of her mother, Tang Lingfei was dragged away with a sad face.

Xu Zhe looked sympathetic, but still wanted to laugh.

"Xiaozhe, you too, don't spoil her!"

"Okay, Auntie, take care."

Tang Lingfei followed her mother and walked about ten meters away. Suddenly, she turned around to look at Xu Zhe and moved her mouth silently.

Xu Zhe could tell that she seemed to want to express something, but he couldn't understand her lip movements.

----

"Didn't I tell you to bring your PSP to school?"

Tang Lingfei said this on the way to school with Xu Zhe on Monday morning.

Xu Zhe spread his hands: "How do I know that's what you want to say?"

Tang Lingfei was indignant: "I was halfway through beating the dragon and it was interrupted! Apart from asking you to bring the game console, what else can I ask of you?"

Xu Zhe: "That makes sense, but my parents are also controlling me. It's okay to take it out to play on Sundays, but it's impossible to take the PSP out from Monday to Friday."

Tang Lingfei was stunned for a moment, with her head hanging down. "How annoying! I can't play for another five days. I won't know how to kill monsters next time I play. I've forgotten how to play..."

Xu Zhe laughed, but tried not to laugh out loud.

After a while, Tang Lingfei suddenly said, "Monster Hunter is so fun, don't you think?"
