Cultivation Shura Field

In the past two years, when he didn’t have a smartphone, he had to suppress the habit of taking out his phone at any time, but now he doesn’t have to suppress it. Even the early smartphones can do a lot of things.

Turning on the screen, he saw a new message from Shen Lan:

[Have you left yet? The hotel has been booked. Because the exam venue is far from our school, I have to stay in a hotel. I have booked two rooms so that we can chat after the exam. ]

Xu Zhe thought about it and replied: [No problem.]

Then Shen Lan sent another message: [I'll take you to lunch later. After the exam, we can go to the snack street. It's not easy to come to the provincial capital. I can have fun tonight and tomorrow morning. Just treat it as a trip.]

Xu Zhe: [You are so thoughtful. That’s good.]

Shen Lan: [I have been eating the meals you cooked during the summer vacation. Now it is my turn to make the arrangements.]

Xu Zhe smiled, put away his phone and looked out the car window.

The sun was shining brightly outside, which made him feel very happy.

----

When the bus arrived at the provincial bus station, it was already noon and the sun was high in the sky.

Xu Zhe got off the bus and followed the crowd to the entrance of the bus station. He heard Shen Lan's voice behind him: "Wait a minute!"

When he turned around, he saw Shen Lan jogging towards him in a hurry.

It's not the hot summer vacation anymore. As the weather gets cooler, you need to wear thicker clothes. But Shen Lan is wearing a short skirt today, with black stockings underneath, which is warm enough to show off her increasingly slender legs.

The light-colored sweater on her upper body was relatively loose, which reminded Xu Zhe of the dressing concept he had heard from Aunt Li Caixia - it is best not to have loose or tight clothes on both the top and bottom. Loose tops should be matched with narrow lower body, and tight tops should be matched with loose skirts or pants. Shen Lan certainly didn't know Song Xingye's mother, but some aesthetic concepts could be coincidental.

Xu Zhe felt that the senior schoolmate standing in front of him with a blushing face was really pretty.

Shen Lan had a smile on her face: "Let me take you to have lunch. There is nothing delicious near the station. I know there is a beef noodle shop that is affordable and delicious."

Xu Zhe: "Then let's go, shall we take a taxi?"

Shen Lan shook her head: "Take the bus. I have coins here. The taxis at the station are a bit shady. It's best not to take them, or you'll get ripped off."

Seeing that she had thought it through, Xu Zhe naturally followed her arrangements.

There were still empty seats on the bus. The two of them sat together in the back seat and waited for a while before the bus started.

In the gently swaying carriage, Shen Lan suddenly took out an MP3 and a pair of headphones and asked, "Do you want to listen to music?"

Xu Zhe took a headset and asked, "What kind of music?"

Shen Lan has already put on the other one: "You will know after listening."

Xu Zhe also put on headphones and heard the soft piano and violin ensemble.

Shen Lan said softly: "I like to listen to some pure music, it feels quite relaxing, how about you?"

Xu Zhe: "I also like instrumental music."

Shen Lan tilted her head: "Then are our preferences somewhat similar?"

Xu Zhe: "I don't really like spicy food."

Shen Lan smiled and patted his thigh. This was a normal action, just like a joke between friends. Xu Zhe realized that he seemed to have gotten used to this way of getting along.

And, it seems quite comfortable?

----

The beef noodles at noon were exactly as Shen Lan had described, the taste and portion were satisfying, especially after Xu Zhe paid for an extra serving of beef.

After eating this simple lunch, the two of them took a car to the vicinity of the examination room and found the hotel they had booked.

When they arrived, the hotel rooms had just been cleaned up, just right for guests to stay. So Shen Lan and Xu Zhe went into their respective rooms and could rest in the quiet environment. When they were ready for the entrance exam later, they would probably have recovered enough energy.

This part of the itinerary was still planned by Shen Lan.

Xu Zhe put down his schoolbag, lay down on the bed, and couldn't help feeling a little sleepy.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Xu Zhe opened the door, and sure enough, it was Shen Lan who came.

The short-haired senior smiled and said, "I set an alarm on my phone, but once I fall asleep it's hard to wake up, and sometimes the alarm doesn't work. If I just take a nap and oversleep, it will be a big problem."

Xu Zhe: "So you want to take a nap with me?"

Shen Lan: "Do you think it's okay?"

Xu Zhe nodded, and at the same time, he suddenly realized that this seemed to be part of the arrangement made by the senior.

The hotel room she booked was a single room with only one bed, so naturally, the two of them had to lie on the same bed.

But after lying down, Xu Zhe became sober.

For him, it was the first time in his life to lie in the same bed with a girl.

The room was quiet for a long time.

Suddenly, Shen Lan said softly: "I can't sleep."

Xu Zhe: "Me too..."

Shen Lan: "It's okay, buy a cup of coffee or Red Bull before entering the examination room, what do you think?"

Xu Zhe: "I think it's feasible. I have to say, you are very thoughtful."

Shen Lan laughed: "Haha, not bad, right? After the exam, I'll take you to the snack street to find something delicious. It will be even better then."

Xu Zhe: "You have been in the provincial capital for a year, right? Do you often go shopping and look for delicious food?"

Shen Lan was silent for a moment, then said slowly, "What's there to do alone? Besides, I'm not the kind of person who likes shopping. Many female classmates in my class used to like shopping and invited me to go. But I went there once and I don't want to go again."

Xu Zhe: "Don't like socializing?"

Shen Lan suddenly turned her head to stare at him and said, "I don't like socializing with mediocre and boring people."

Xu Zhe felt the girl's gaze and turned his head to look at her.

At this time, the two did not have any physical contact, but just because they were lying on the same bed, it seemed to bring a slightly different kind of excitement.

Shen Lan's hand moved, and she was only a hair's breadth away from his hand.

167.

2023-09-22

Sitting in the examination room, facing the last program improvement question, Shen Lan couldn't help but recall the moment in the hotel room a few hours ago.

At that time, her left pinky finger was less than two centimeters away from Xu Zhe's right pinky finger. When she looked over, their palms seemed to be touching.

But it wasn’t actually posted.

So at this time, when the preliminary round of NOIP's written test was coming to an end, Shen Lan still felt a little regretful.

But she didn't know what the result would be if she had met him at that time. Would it lead to Xu Zhe's resistance, and then his current emotion would no longer be regret, but remorse?

In order not to affect their competition exams, Shen Lan finally suppressed the urge to attack in advance.

After finishing the last question, Shen Lan checked the test paper while thinking about tonight's arrangements.

The first thing was of course to have dinner - the first and only time she hugged Xu Zhe was that night at the night market, and this time she wanted to have a similar atmosphere between them. The snack street in the provincial capital was quite famous, and she should be able to have a lot of fun there.

As for what happened after dinner, she had already planned it.

After basically filling your stomach, you have to find a way to stay in his room, find an excuse, such as being drunk... then stay in his room and spend the night together.

Maybe, after one night like this, everything will be settled?

The girl couldn't help but breathe faster when she thought of this...

Suddenly, the radio prompt sounded, and the written test time was over.

Shen Lan handed in her paper and walked out of the examination room alone. She was the only one in the entire Experimental Middle School who took the NOIP this time, so she didn't need to wait for any classmates, she just needed to find someone.

The girl stood at the entrance of the examination room, and almost all the people passing by her were boys. Most of the participants in this competition were boys, so a girl as beautiful as her naturally attracted a lot of attention.

But the gazes of others seemed to be non-existent to Shen Lan. She just stood there until the young man appeared and brought out her smile.

"Let's go. I'm so hungry." Xu Zhe said.

Shen Lan: "Didn't you have enough for lunch?"

Xu Zhe: "I had actually eaten almost enough by then, but now my appetite seems to be getting bigger and bigger..."

Shen Lan chuckled and said, "It's good to have a bigger appetite. Boys need it to grow."

----

Xu Zhe and Shen Lan strolled along the snack street, each holding two skewers of barbecued meat. While eating, they looked for something else to eat.

The two men walked up to a shop selling tofu pudding, when Xu Zhe suddenly stopped.

Shen Lan asked, "Do you want to eat tofu pudding?"

Xu Zhe asked a question: "Do you think tofu pudding should be sweet or salty?"

Shen Lan smiled and said, "I think it should be spicy."

Xu Zhe: "That makes sense. Boss, give me a bowl of tofu pudding... Uh, do you want to eat it?"

Shen Lan shook her head.

So Xu Zhe only bought one bowl. It was not expensive, the portion was not large, and it was served in a small paper bowl, so he could eat it while walking. But then he faced a problem.

Because it takes two hands to hold the paper bowl and the small spoon, he could only hand the two skewers of barbecue to the senior student next to him: "Help me hold it."

Shen Lan helped him get it with a smile and watched him eat two spoonfuls of tofu pudding...

Then the girl suddenly asked, "Will it taste better if we mix them together?"

Xu Zhe: "Mix them together?"

"Just eat a bite of tofu pudding and then a bite of barbecue. I'll feed you. Open your mouth."

As she said this, Shen Lan had already handed the kebab in her hand to Xu Zhe.

Xu Zhe hesitated.

In this situation, it feels a bit like being fed by a girl... For him, this is the first time since he was sensible. When he was a child playing with Tang Lingfei, he had never experienced this kind of behavior.

But after all, it’s just eating meat, what’s the big deal?

Xu Zhe opened his mouth and took a bite of a piece of barbecue, chewed it a few times, swallowed it, and continued to eat the tofu pudding.

While eating, he felt the gaze of the person beside him and glanced over subconsciously.

Shen Lan was staring at him and asked in a low voice: "Is it delicious?"

Xu Zhe: “Yeah, not bad.”

Shen Lan: "How is the itinerary I arranged?"

Xu Zhe: "Didn't I say that a long time ago? That's very thoughtful."

Shen Lan: "Well, if there is anything that makes you unhappy, please bring it up in time."

Xu Zhe felt like laughing when he heard this. He said, "It feels like a game manufacturer telling players to 'give feedback if you are dissatisfied'. There is no need to take it so seriously."

Shen Lan's gaze was gentle, but her tone was firm: "I can't help it, because my teachers and classmates have said before that I am a bit aggressive and make others uncomfortable."

Xu Zhe: "Did you embarrass the teacher in class?"

Shen Lan: "Is it embarrassing to point out to the teacher that he is wrong?"

Xu Zhe: "That is indeed a bit embarrassing, but you are also right."

Shen Lan smiled and said, "I don't want you to think I'm aggressive or have similar thoughts... So, if you have any opinions about me in the future, please tell me directly."

Xu Zhe felt a little puzzled: "What opinion can I have on you?"

Shen Lan: "For example, being with me is very stressful. More than one classmate has said this to me before."

Xu Zhe: "Why do they say that about you?"

Shen Lan: "Maybe I was a little impatient when I was explaining the questions to them."
