Chapter 296 Duplicity
It really didn’t matter, the two of them were already filled with joy just by strolling around the campus.

“I haven’t walked this road for a long time.”

Bai Yang said with some emotion: "These trees have grown taller."

"You've only been away for a few months, not years. How can you grow up so fast?" Zhong Xilu smiled sweetly and looked at Bai Yang sideways.

"Only a few months? It's clearly been more than a hundred years!" Bai Yang said seriously.

"This joke is too blunt!" Zhong Xilu complained, "I think it went by pretty fast."

She counted on her fingers: "According to the time, more than half of the training camp has passed."

"Yeah." Bai Yang looked at her and said, "I should be back soon after the second half of your semester starts."

Zhong Xilu asked: "Aren't you coming back for the New Year?"

"I'm too lazy to bother." Bai Yang shook his head.

Ever since his parents had their showdown, it had become a luxury for the family of three to celebrate the New Year together. His mother had called him several times to ask whether Bai Yang planned to celebrate the New Year with Bai Dejun or with herself.

Bai Yang said that he was too busy in the studio and refused to go to either place.

"I guess you won't have the chance to come and wish me a happy new year this year." He smiled and said, "But it seems like the winter break for senior year won't be long, right?"

"Yeah." Zhong Xilu nodded: "Just over ten days."

Then he retorted: "What do you mean I wish you a happy new year? Last time I went there I only wished you a happy new year!"

"Oh," Bai Yang paused, "My dad is still spending the New Year in Nanxi Town this year. Since you're just wishing to pay New Year's greetings to my dad, you can continue to go this year."

Zhong Xilu: “.”

What's the point of me going to pay New Year's greetings when you're not here?

She rolled her eyes at Bai Yang and asked, "How long will you be back this time?"

"I have to leave tomorrow." Bai Yang said helplessly, "I've been too busy lately. I squeezed out a day to see you."

"I know, busy man!" Zhong Xilu said briskly, "Anyway, I won't feel guilty because of what you said. I didn't even blame you for disturbing my studies, but you ran directly to the classroom to call me out. I guess before the evening self-study, the rumors about us will spread all over the school again."

"If it wasn't popular, I wouldn't do it." Bai Yang chuckled: "I haven't been in school for so long, have a lot of people started sending you love letters again?"

Zhong Xilu glared at him.

So this guy is back to claim sovereignty, right?

She really wanted to suppress the other party's blatant arrogance, but she couldn't help feeling happy, so she just said, "There are a few, but they are basically all freshmen."

"Hey? The first-year high school kids now have the guts to put their hands on the seniors?"

"These newcomers don't know the rules. I'll teach them a lesson when I get back to school!"

Zhong Xilu laughed and said, "When you come back, there will be basically 100 days left before the college entrance examination. What else do you want to do?"

"Sorry, I'm an art student. The joint entrance examination is over. Even if I only get 200 or 300 points in the college entrance examination, I can easily choose a university in the province with my joint entrance examination results." Bai Yang raised his chin with a proud look on his face.

"Great, great." Zhong Xilu flattered insincerely: "Then Xiaobai should go to a key university in Xiangnan. It doesn't matter to you which university you go to anyway."

Bai Yang looked over with a smile: "Comrade Xiao Zhong, are you willing to live in a different place with me?"

"Hmph~" Zhong Xilu was too lazy to continue this meaningless topic with him.

"You don't want to take me around the school all afternoon, do you? Don't you have any plans?"

Bai Yang shook his head: "I just wanted to come back to see you, I didn't think about what to do specifically."

He said seriously: "Anyway, just stay together."

"Then let's go see a movie?" Zhong Xilu said.

"Okay." Bai Yang nodded: "Are there any good movies to watch recently?"

“It seems there’s a Life of Pi movie that’s been quite a hot topic.”

Bai Yang was stunned for a moment.

Is this movie released at this time?

"What?" Looking at Bai Yang's expression, Zhong Xilu couldn't help but wonder: "You haven't seen it, have you?"

"I've definitely never seen it in my life." Bai Yang said honestly.

"That would be great!" Zhong Xilu took the lead and walked towards the school gate.

The security guard glanced at the two of them and asked, "Are you helping someone skip class?"

"I've asked for leave, sir." Bai Yang said.

"Where's the leave application?"

poplar:"."

"Young people should be more honest." The old man said slowly: "Just skip class, I've seen a lot of it." Zhong Xilu covered her mouth and chuckled.

"I will stop ordinary students, but as for you two——" The old man glanced at Zhong Xilu and waved his hand:

"go Go."

"Okay, sir." Bai Yang nodded quickly.

The two of them hailed a taxi, and Zhong Xilu couldn't help laughing: "This old man is quite interesting."

Bai Yang sighed, "It's quite interesting. When I came in just now, I was reminded of the lion dance and waist drum team. It was a truly unforgettable day."

He glanced at Zhong Xilu and said, "I also have to thank my dear squad leader."

Zhong Xilu's smile came to an abrupt end.

The dead memories began to attack themselves.

The roar of "Princess, please get off the car" seems to still echo in my ears.

She shook her head, threw away the damn memory, and said to the taxi driver: "Master, let's go to Jiangbin Road first."

Bai Yang raised an eyebrow: "What are you going there for?"

"I have to go home first." Zhong Xilu said, "It's rare for Xiaobai to come back. If I wear this to go to the movies with you, wouldn't it be embarrassing for you?"

"How can that be possible." Bai Yang said with a smile: "Even if you are wearing a ragged rag, you are still the most beautiful girl in Xiangdong. As long as I walk beside you, I will be the most prestigious person."

"Then you won't change it?"

"Let's change it."

Zhong Xilu: ".You say one thing and mean another!"

The taxi stopped in front of the villa and the two got out.

"Hurry up, I'll wait for you outside." Bai Yang said.

"Just come in." Zhong Xilu rolled her eyes: "It's not like you haven't been here before, why are you still shy?"

"It's not that I'm shy," Bai Yang whispered, "I'm mainly worried about Uncle Lu's health."

My father-in-law doesn't like to see me.

Zhong Xilu laughed and said, "It's working hours now. Do you think he is a retired old man who hangs around at home every day?"

"Oh, that seems to be the case." Bai Yang reacted immediately.

Every time I come here, I run into him and almost mistake him for a ghost in the villa.

The two of them walked in, and Zhong Xilu took out a pair of slippers skillfully: "The slippers I bought for you last time."

"You're still here?"

"My dad isn't that stingy!" Zhong Xilu said unhappily, and walked into the living room first, then froze for a moment:
"Mom? Why are you at home?"

Bai Yang followed closely and saw Zhong Guiqing sitting on the sofa in the living room.

"There is nothing to do in the company today, so I came back early." Zhong Guiqing answered first, then looked at Bai Yang and nodded slightly:
"Come? When did you come back?"

Her tone was very calm, as if she was used to her daughter not being at school at this time but appearing at home with a boy.

"Uh, Aunt Zhong, long time no see." Bai Yang said politely, "I just got back today."

"Yeah." Zhong Guiqing raised his hand and pointed at the sofa: "Come and sit down."

"I'll go upstairs and change my clothes first!" Zhong Xilu glanced at Bai Yang and said, "You chat with my mother for a while."

"Row."

Bai Yang was not stage-shy and sat down opposite Zhong Guiqing.

Zhong Guiqing did not ask about Zhong Xilu, but instead asked: "You have been in the training camp for a few months, right? How do you feel about the capital?"

"It's good." Bai Yang paused: "However, the studio is in Songzhuang, and I have been busy learning painting. In fact, I have not been to the city center many times."

Zhong Guiqing nodded: "Focus is a good thing."

"I've paid attention to the book you published. It's selling well."

"At your age, with your current income, you can still concentrate on learning painting without being distracted by other things. It's rare."

Bai Yang was stunned by the sudden praise. He was a little confused about the other party's intention, so he could only continue to say: "After all, I am still a student, and I should study hard."

"However, painting can only be a hobby after all." Zhong Guiqing said slowly: "Last time I asked you what plans you had for your future, and you said that you haven't thought about it that far yet."

"Since you've been out for so long this time, I guess you've made some plans, right?"
