shine on her star

Zhao Ni's heart was touched by his seemingly casual words.

After struggling for a few seconds, she called out, "Brother Zhao Xi."

Terrible.

Zhao Xi's hand holding her textbook suddenly tightened.

The corner was a little wrinkled by his grasp.

It's like a seed, in the deepest part of my heart, germinates, grows up, gradually produces green leaves and blooms.

He coughed twice again: "Next time, call the teacher."

You can't call "brother", once you call "brother", he can't control it.

want to kiss her.

In order to ease the delicate atmosphere, Zhao Xi glanced at the unopened box.

He asked, "Don't want to know what I gave you?"

Only then did Zhao Ni come to her senses.

She opened it carefully.

Inside the box lay a pen, which was dark blue in color, and the pattern on the barrel was a special gradient, like ocean waves.

"Most of the current exams use gel pens. This pen may not be useful, but it's a good collection."

Zhao Ni carefully looked at the pen in the box.

collection?

Does that mean it's expensive?
"This, how much do you pay for it?" She definitely couldn't accept it if it was too expensive.

Zhao Xi guessed what she was thinking: "Guess."

Zhao Ni: ...

Where can I guess.

She remembered a door-to-door chat between Yang Xuemei and Zhao Xi's mother. Zhao Xi's mother mentioned that her son was scouted by a scout before, and he took on several roles in several plays, and now he is starting to play a supporting role.

Yang Xuemei was surprised and envious at the time: "Hey, you will be a big star after that?"

Zhao Xi's mother doesn't think so: "The road in the entertainment industry is not easy. It is better to find a stable job after graduating from university."

That's what he said, if Zhao Xi insisted on going the way of the entertainment industry, his parents would not object.

Only then did Zhao Ni know that Zhao Xi didn't just like reading, he seemed to be interested in acting as well.

In her concept, all celebrities are rich.

So for this price, it is natural to guess high: "Is it several thousand?"

For a senior high school student, several thousand yuan is already very expensive.

Zhao Xi shook his head.

wrong.

Zhao Ni blinked.

What, guessed high, or guessed low?
He didn't let her keep guessing, and directly announced the answer: "200 yuan."

Zhao Ni:? ? ? ? ?
two hundred?

isn't it?
Zhao Xi glanced at her: "Why, do you think it's cheap?"

She shook her head: "No, I like it very much, why do you think it's cheap?"

"I just thought this pen was pretty, so I bought it casually." Zhao Xi didn't change his expression, "As for why I picked a 200 yuan one, because it's just a final exam, and progress in the quiz is worth two hundred."

He really misunderstood her meaning.

Hearing two hundred, Zhao Ni immediately felt that such a beautiful pen was only two hundred, and the merchant was really conscientious.

"I will work harder next time. The mock exams for next semester will be better every time."

Zhao Xi nodded in satisfaction: "It's good to have such confidence. When you really improve, I'll choose another three hundred for you."

He lied.

The pen he called "bought for 200 yuan" actually cost [-] yuan.

Not including the cost of engraving the name "Zhao Ni".

Then this pen was locked in a drawer by Zhao Ni, and she was reluctant to use it.

The winter vacation time is very fast, and in a blink of an eye, school starts.

Zhao Xi seemed to be busier than before. Originally, there were four days of tutoring a week, but it was changed to two days a week.

During Qingming, the school has a day off.

Papa Zhao and Yang Xuemei went to visit the grave, which is in Linshi, but this time they went there on the same day and came back in the evening.

Still the same as before, before going out, Zhao's father took care of a lot.

The important point is to tell Zhao Ni not to eat indiscriminately.

Have you ever seen a ghost and are you still afraid of the dark?
This time, Zhao Ni was honest and honest. At noon, she heated up the leftovers from last night in the microwave and ate a little.

After dinner until three o'clock in the afternoon, she reviewed her homework at home.

Originally, Zhao Xi would come over to give her tuition today, but he received a call from him the night before, saying that he had something to do today and couldn't come.

She muffled "Oh".

No matter what, he has his own business, and he can't be there for her whenever he is called.

She took a break to think about Zhao Xi for a while.

I don't know if God heard her heart, but at about [-]:[-], the phone rang.

It was Zhao Xi's phone number calling.

Zhao Ni answered: "Hello?"

On the opposite side was a strange man's voice: "Hello, are you Zhao Ni?"

"Yes," Zhao Ni asked, "Who is it?"

She actually wanted to ask why she called from Zhao Xi's phone.

The other party introduced himself: "I am his manager, and you are Zhao Xi's younger sister?"

Because they are all surnamed Zhao, it is easy to be misunderstood as a younger sister.

"I..." Zhao Ni didn't know whether to say yes or no, "It counts."

He asked her to call him "brother", so let's just think it's his younger sister.

The agent said: "Zhao Xi drank too much and kept talking about you. Do you have time? Can you come over and pick him up?"

Drunk?

Zhao Ni turned her head and looked out the window, how could she be drunk in broad daylight?

But she didn't have time to think so much, so she agreed directly: "Okay, where is he?"

The broker reported an address.

Zhao Ni has heard of this place, it is a high-end club.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll be right there."

The weather in early spring is still a bit cold.

She hung up the phone, went back to her room, found a coat, put it on, and went out.

It took about half an hour to take a taxi from home to the clubhouse.

Following the direction pointed by the manager, she walked around to the door of a box.

The door was ajar, and there were many voices of men and women talking from inside.

Zhao Ni was a little afraid to go in.

She has a mild temper and doesn't like crowded places.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened.

A middle-aged man came out of it.

When he saw Zhao Ni, his eyes lit up: "Hey, there is a beautiful little girl here."

Zhao Ni, who was frightened, backed away again and again.

A few seconds later, she bravely said, "Hi, I... I'm here to find Zhao Xi, and I'm here to pick him up."

The middle-aged man stared at her, and suddenly smiled maliciously: "Zhao Xi, why are you looking for Zhao Xi, you are looking for me..."

He must have drunk too much, he smelled of alcohol.

There was panic in Zhao Ni's eyes.

The middle-aged man stretched out his hand, and she instinctively raised her arm to block it.

Unexpectedly, before the man touched her, a force behind him pulled her back fiercely.

Immediately afterwards, a figure stood in front of Zhao Ni.

She took a closer look and saw that it was Zhao Xi.

He drank alcohol and smelled of alcohol.

Different from that middle-aged man, his smell of wine is a faint aroma of wine.

Unlike middle-aged men, it is a mixture of strong smoke and strong alcohol, which makes people sick.

He was really drunk, his cheeks were unnaturally red: "Don't touch her!"
