The salty life in Life of Pi

Chapter 45 Fishing, fishing, and fucking fishing!

After returning to school, Lin Miaomiao did not tell anyone about her family's moving. She and Wu Xianyu had always been close, and her classmates now just thought that the two of them were just good friends and there was no gossip. But if they knew that they lived so close to each other, who knows what would happen.

There are still two weeks until June, and the atmosphere in school is so depressing that even the daily broadcast has been temporarily cancelled, just to reduce the ten or twenty minutes of time for senior high school students to concentrate on their studies.

As the school's loudspeaker blared the song "Sunshine Always Comes After the Rain", Wu Xianyu had already returned home. At this time, he and Lin Dawei were going through the formalities at the property management. After refusing the property management's help in finding a tenant, Wu Xianyu sent Lin Dawei to the gate of the community and asked:

"Uncle, when are you going to move in? Do you want me to help you then?"

"No, no, how can I ask you for help? When you return to school, Miaomiao's mom and I will find someone to move here. You just take a rest."

As he spoke, Lin Dawei got into the car, waved to Wu Xianyu, and left the community.

Watching Lin Dawei's taillights disappear, Wu Xianyu couldn't help but mutter

"Is this the intuition of an old father? Being so cautious"

After returning to school, in addition to starting the final review, the teacher also confirmed everyone's subject assignments. Lao Zhao took the list and started checking each one of them.
"Lin Miaomiao, liberal arts"

"Yes, teacher"

Lin Miaomiao raised her hand and nodded to confirm. Lao Zhao took a look and continued to the next

"Wu Xianyu, liberal arts?"

Wu Xianyu raised his hand and nodded. Lao Zhao couldn't help but ask

"You really don't want to study science?"

“Well, it’s too brain-consuming.”

Looking at Wu Xianyu speechlessly, Lao Zhao did not continue to persuade him. After all, Wu Xianyu's identity made it irrelevant what he did.

After reading it, Lao Zhao paused for a moment.

"Deng Xiaoqi is a science major?"

"Yes"

Seeing that Deng Xiaoqi confirmed it, Lao Zhao thought about her plan to take the art exam and nodded in confirmation.

Jiang Tianhao looked at Deng Xiaoqi's back with shock.

Wu Xianyu felt Jiang Tianhao's action and couldn't help but whisper a reminder

"Don't look at it, it's not because of you, she is already the woman of the eldest brother"

After a while, Wu Xianyu didn't hear Jiang Tianhao's response, so he turned around and found that Jiang Tianhao was covering his face with a book, but his eyes were still looking at Deng Xiaoqi from the side of his schoolbag.

Wu Xianyu couldn't help but waved his hand in front of him.
"Why are you still peeking at this? Forget it, unless you want to cry again."

When the topic of crying came up, Jiang Tianhao immediately reacted, retracted his gaze, and glanced at Wu Xianyu.

"Don't mention the word crying"

"cut"

Ignoring Jiang Tianhao, Wu Xianyu continued to watch Old Zhao in front of him holding a class meeting.

After the class meeting, Lao Zhao saw that there were still more than 20 minutes left, and he didn't want to waste any time, so he took out his math test paper.

"Come on, there's still a little time left. Take out the test paper and tell as much as you can."

There was a chorus of groans from the audience, but Lao Zhao remained unmoved.

This kind of day continued until the end of the exams, when everyone was waiting for the teachers to mark the papers. There was no rest, and the summer homework was distributed to everyone early.

The school is not worried that students will finish writing the papers at school. After all, although every teacher says that there are only four or five test papers in this subject and there are two months of summer vacation, they actually know that there are nine subjects in the first year of high school, which add up to more than 40 test papers. If the test papers can be finished in two days at school, then the teacher will have nothing to say.

Wu Xianyu first took out the liberal arts test paper that required a lot of writing, and wrote at the fastest speed. He had already made up his mind for the summer vacation. He would take a few days off, and then go fishing, fishing, or fucking fishing.

After the results and rankings came out, Wu Xianyu took a look and knew that he was third. He returned to his seat and continued writing the test paper. In just two days, he had finished the homework for the three subjects of politics, history and geography. There was still half a day before the holiday tomorrow, so he would try his best to finish the English as well.

The next day, during the parents' meeting, Wu Xianyu was busy writing his homework in the dormitory. After finishing the last English test paper, Wu Xianyu breathed a sigh of relief.

I started packing things in the dormitory. I packed up the things I was going to take back, and made sure to protect the things I wasn't going to take back from dust and moisture. Lao Zhao had said that there were divisions among departments but not dormitories, so some things didn't need to be carried back and forth.

When the broadcast announced the end of the parent-teacher meeting, Wu Xianyu did not return to the classroom. He had contacted Uncle Liu in advance and he was not allowed to come this time. He just walked out of the school with his bag and luggage.

Just after I got home and put down my luggage, the doorbell rang, and Lin Miaomiao's voice
"Xianyu, open the door!"

"coming"

Wu Xianyu had no choice but to turn around and open the door. He saw Lin Miaomiao standing at the door with a speechless look on her face.
"What's wrong? I haven't offended you, have I?"

"Your Award Certificate"

As she spoke, Lin Miaomiao handed the certificate in her hand to Wu Xianyu. Wu Xianyu finally realized what was going on when he saw the certificate.
"There's this thing too. I forgot about it. Thanks. Would you like a popsicle?"

Because she had changed to a day school, Lin Miaomiao, who had brought all her things back, was already sweating all over. When she heard that there were popsicles, she immediately smiled.
"Yeah"

Wu Xianyu took out a few popsicles from the refrigerator and handed them to Lin Miaomiao, while leaning against the door and asking

"How much homework have you done?"

"I'm sure I can't write as fast as you. I've only finished politics, history and geography. What a stupid school. Why do I have to write science when there are already different subjects?"

Taking a big bite of the popsicle and eating the filling inside, Lin Miaomiao complained about the school's arrangements.

"Let's not be idle. I'm going to spend some time finishing my homework and then go fishing for two months."

"puff"

Lin Miaomiao almost choked
"You're still going out fishing in this weather??? You've never been beaten by the sun, have you?"

"Do you think I'm a fool? I must be fishing in a place without the sun."

After looking at Wu Xianyu for a while with the eyes of a fool, Lin Miaomiao did not stay long. She waved goodbye to Wu Xianyu and went back upstairs.

"Forget it, there's nothing to say to an air force guy like you, I'm going home"

I don’t know where Lin Miaomiao learned the lyrics, but Wu Xianyu felt a little excited when he heard them, and it reminded him of his days in the Air Force.

Not long after closing the door, Wu Xianyu received a message from Lin Miaomiao. It was a voice message.

"Come up to eat, my mother asked me to."

“Ha, that saves me from having to do it myself.”

Putting down his phone, Wu Xianyu changed his clothes and walked upstairs. He sat on the other side of Lin Miaomiao, which made Lin Miaomiao unhappy.

"Why are you sitting next to me?"

Wu Xianyu looked at Wang Shengnan and Lin Dawei opposite him, then looked at Lin Miaomiao

“Because there’s only an empty seat next to you.”

"Alright, alright, stop arguing and eat."

Wang Shengnan quickly interrupted and told the two to stop bickering. Except for the first two days after they moved in, the two were still quite polite. After a week, neither of them cared about their image anymore. It was probably the same at school.

While eating, Lin Dawei looked at Wu Xianyu

"Xiao Yu, I just heard Miao Miao say that you plan to go fishing for the whole summer?"

"That's about it. I go out to play occasionally, and the rest of the time I go fishing or listen to music at home."

“It’s better than staying at home and playing with your phone all day long.”

Wang Shengnan glanced at Lin Miaomiao as she said this. Lin Miaomiao's neck shrank as if she remembered something and she touched Wu Xianyu with her arm.

"Salted fish, pull me up when you go fishing"

"Didn't you say that I was like a fool going out in the sun every day? What, are you going to be a fool too?"

"When did I say that?"

"That's what your look just now meant."

"." Lin Dawei sighed and ate his meal by himself. Since moving here, although the mother and daughter no longer quarreled, the two classmates quarreled every day and sometimes even fought. There was basically no peace.

He was a little skeptical whether these two kids could really become a couple. No matter how he looked at it, it seemed impossible, but subconsciously he was still wary of Wu Xianyu.

After dinner, Wu Xianyu was about to go home to sleep, but Lin Miaomiao stopped him.
"Xianyu, remember to call me when you are ready to do your homework"

"understood"

Without even turning his head, Wu Xianyu waved goodbye and walked out of Lin Miaomiao's house.

After drinking a glass of water, Lin Miaomiao said to the two adults on the sofa:

"I'm going to sleep too, don't call me if you need anything"

Considering that it was the first day of summer vacation, Wang Shengnan glanced at her and said nothing, but she also secretly made up her mind to enroll her in a cram school during the winter and summer vacations of her second year of high school.

"Let time pass by
I only care about you"

Listening to the faint singing, Lin Dawei couldn't help but said to Wang Shengnan who was mopping the floor

"Why are the songs Xiaoyu listens to similar to those of our generation? I remember I listened to these songs back then too."

“A good song will still be listened to a hundred years later. The only songs we can remember from our era are the good ones. The bad ones won’t survive at all.”

Wang Shengnan was mopping the floor and didn't pay any attention to the singing.

Downstairs, Lin Miaomiao and Wu Xianyu were sitting on opposite sides of the table doing their homework. When they heard this song, Lin Miaomiao couldn't help but get distracted.
"No, do you have the soul of a 40-year-old man in your body? Why are these all old songs?"

Wu Xianyu kept moving his hands and glanced at Lin Miaomiao.
"Because they are all my father's discs, I didn't connect my phone, but don't you think these old songs are very nice? They are very special."

“It sounds good.”

Lin Miaomiao used her signature fork to pick up a piece of watermelon and put it in her mouth

“It just feels like it’s not that popular and a bit behind the trend.”

"Come on, there are only two of us here. What trend is there to follow? Just make sure it sounds good. How much homework do you have left?"

Lin Miaomiao flipped through the test paper and counted the
"There are three more, I think I can finish them today."

"Come on, I've finished writing."

As he spoke, Wu Xianyu threw away the pen in his hand, stood up and stretched.

Lin Miaomiao looked at him in disbelief

"It's only been five days! You've already finished it?"

"You're almost there, right? If you have time to be surprised, you might as well just write it quickly."

As he spoke, Wu Xianyu went to the refrigerator and took out two bottles of soda, and handed one to Lin Miaomiao. Just as Lin Miaomiao was about to take it, Wu Xianyu seemed to remember something and squinted at Lin Miaomiao.

“Can you drink it cold?”

Lin Miaomiao reacted immediately, gritted her teeth, and glared at Wu Xianyu.

"It's drinkable, but it's not here yet!!"

"Okay, drink it then."

It was a pity that he failed to save a bottle of drink. Wu Xianyu packed up his test papers, put them in his schoolbag, sat on the sofa, turned down the volume of his cell phone to the lowest, and played with his cell phone.

Lin Miaomiao was writing the test paper, and she felt very uneasy when she saw Wu Xianyu playing with his mobile phone. She couldn't finish the questions which were not difficult at all. In the end, she bit the pen and it made a crunching sound.

After taking a look at Lin Miaomiao, who looked like she had nails under her butt, Wu Xianyu sighed, took an exercise book, sat opposite Lin Miaomiao, picked up a pen, and started writing.

Hearing the familiar sound of the pen tip rubbing against the paper, Lin Miaomiao gradually calmed down and did the test more and more smoothly.

I also have to thank Wu Xianyu for providing me with the homework method. I had to finish the liberal arts subjects that required more words first, leave the ones with less words for the end, and leave chemistry and physics, which had the least words, for last. Lin Miaomiao didn't even spend the entire afternoon to finish the last three test papers, and finished them in less than two hours.

"liberated!!"

Lin Miaomiao threw away her pen and leaned back in her chair, exhausted.

Seeing this, Wu Xianyu returned to the sofa and turned on the TV. A burst of singing came

"in my arms

in your eyes

There the spring breeze is intoxicating
There is green grass there.”

Wu Xianyu had listened to this song for a long time in his previous life, and only now did he know that "On the Shores of Lake Baikal" was actually the theme song of this web drama.

"Master Wuxin? Does he look good?"

Lin Miaomiao came over at some point and sat on the sofa next to Wu Xianyu.

"I don't know, this is only the first episode, but I like this song, and it's sung by Li Jian"

"Huh? How do you know? It doesn't say who sang it."

"I heard it. The song "Legend" that I sang last time was also his song."

"Ah? I thought it was Faye Wong's."

"It's okay, it's not too late to know now"

"Are you ready to learn this song?"

"Yes, stop talking and watch TV."

Wu Xianyu, who had watched the general content of the short video from his previous life, lost interest after a while. He took a few bags of snacks for Lin Miaomiao and went downstairs to the garage to pack up the things needed for fishing.

When he returned upstairs, Lin Miaomiao was about to go home, Wu Xianyu asked

"Don't watch TV anymore?"

"It's just one episode. The next one will be tomorrow. There will be two episodes updated per week. I'm going home to rest. What were you doing just now?"

"I'm going to prepare some fishing supplies, do you want to come with me?"

Looking at the bright sun outside, Lin Miaomiao shook her head violently.

"No, no, I won't go for now."

After saying that, Lin Miaomiao walked out the door and headed upstairs with her schoolbag on her back.

Wu Xianyu snorted, shook his head, went back to the room and closed the door.

. . . . . .

Looking at the bright sun outside, Lin Miaomiao stood by the window, watching Wu Xianyu wearing a hat and riding his electric bike out, and couldn't help muttering:

"I'll let you die in the sun"

Lie back on the sofa, eat snacks and watch TV.

"Didn't you say you were going out fishing? Why didn't you go with Xiaoyu?"

Wang Shengnan was talking about something else, while Lin Miaomiao pointed at the big sun outside.
"Mom, look at the sun. I'm not addicted to fishing like Xianyu. It's really hot in this weather."

"Oh, I thought you were going on a date while fishing."

Hearing Wang Shengnan's words, Lin Miaomiao's body stiffened, and then immediately relaxed.

"I've already told you, it's all your illusion. You just had fun. I plan to wait until it's cloudy and there's not much sun before going out fishing."

"Okay, tell me when the time comes, don't run too far"

Wang Shengnan glanced at Lin Miaomiao and thought to herself, let's see how long she will pretend.

Lin Miaomiao was lying on the sofa watching TV and felt that Wang Shengnan’s suggestion was not bad.
