My deskmate absolutely has a crush on me

Chapter 13 Worrying about money for the first time in my life

That night, Xie Le'an and Sheng Ling went to the bookstore to return the trolley, and the bookstore owner even poured them a glass of cold water to drink.

Even if this matter is over, Sheng Ling has never struggled with Xie Le'an's feelings for him, and he still treats him as before.

The National Day is coming soon, and the atmosphere in the class is getting more and more floating.

During the break between the two classes in the afternoon, a well-informed student in the class ran into the classroom and said to his deskmate: "The Education Bureau issued a document that all middle schools are not allowed to take the National Day holiday, and we have to hold it for seven days. La!"

He said the words to his deskmate, but the news grew wings, and it flew to the ears of the whole class within a minute, and everyone became more impetuous for a while, and gathered together to discuss the holiday.

Sheng Ling was doing math problems, but he couldn't sit still when he heard this. He turned to look at Xie Le'an, and asked, "What are your arrangements for the National Day holiday?"

"Huh?" Xie Le'an looked up, thought for a while and answered, "Maybe it's just doing homework at home. After finishing the homework, review it, and then read the book you've always wanted to read."

"Aren't you going out to play?" Sheng Ling thought his arrangement was extremely boring, "Is this how you spend all your vacations?"

Xie Le'an was a little embarrassed, and lowered his eyes: "I don't like going out to play."

It's not that I don't like going out to play, it's that I haven't gone out to play.He doesn't have many friends, how can anyone go out to play alone.

Sheng Ling stared at his face and saw something unusual, but before he could speak, He Shu walked into the classroom.

Seeing He Shu coming in, all the students in the class had a premonition that she was going to talk about the holiday.

Sure enough, He Shu put away her bag and stood on the podium: "This time, the school arranges a 7-day holiday for the first and second graders during the National Day holiday."

"yeah--!"

"Nice!!!"

"Touch!" He Shu slapped the bag on the podium and became serious: "Be quiet! If you make trouble again, give me a vacation and go back to school for self-study."

Everyone in the class immediately shut their mouths like a quail, trembling.

He Shu pushed her glasses, and emphasized earnestly: "This time, adjust yourself carefully during the holiday. Don't forget to be in shape and break the good state you maintained in school. I will ask the teachers of each subject to arrange more homework. Don't think about it. Playing around, we must use the holidays and arrange rest reasonably, in order to study better after school starts.”

She also talked about a lot of safety precautions and told everyone not to go to dangerous places.After it was over, she started attending classes as planned.

When get out of class was over, Yang Wenkai was the first to get out of his seat, and ran to the seats of Sheng Ling and Xie Le'an in two steps, very excited.

"Seven days, Brother Sheng, let's go to the beach to play!" Yang Wenkai stomped his feet excitedly.

Sheng Ling was a little surprised: "Why do you suddenly think of going to the beach?"

Jiyun City, where they are located, is close to the sea, but it is still more than 100 kilometers away from the real seaside, and it takes nearly two hours to drive.

"It was decided when we were just in class. The girls wanted to go, and even the monitor had to participate this time!" Yang Wenkai explained cheerfully.

As soon as he mentioned the class monitor, Li Jun came over, pushed his glasses, and said seriously: "I think this may be our last full National Day holiday. Now that the second year of high school has just started, it will only get better and better in the future." It got busier and ended up going crazy."

Sheng Ling was a little moved, but also had real worries: "Can your parents agree?"

"Sure!" Yang Wenkai pointed to Huang Jingjing, "Jingjing's elder brother is over there, he can help us arrange our itinerary and hotels, and Jingjing said that he can also rent a seaside villa."

Sheng Ling looked at Li Jun again, the monitor of glasses nodded and said, "I will discuss it with my parents."

Sheng Ling himself didn't care much about his father's opinion, and when he was going to kill him first, his father would just give him a scolding.

Since everyone had no problem, Sheng Ling stopped worrying blindly, but looked at Xie Le'an who had been silent by his side.

After Yang Wenkai came and said he was going to the beach, Xie Le'an didn't say a word. Does he really not like going out to play?

Soon the class bell rang, Yang Wenkai and the others returned to their seats, and the math teacher walked in.

Sheng Ling was still thinking about Xie Le'an's silence just now, but couldn't think of an answer, so he simply took a post-it note and wrote a small note to his deskmate.

Sheng Ling: "Do you want to play at the beach?"

Xie Le'an took the note and looked at it for a while, then picked up a pen and wrote a sentence, which was quickly passed to Sheng Ling.

Xie Le'an wrote: "The beach is far away, it will be very expensive, I can't go."

Sheng Ling stared at the note for a while, then closed his palms, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into the trash can.

Yang Wenkai, Huang Jingjing, Li Jun... This group of people who play well with Shengling have different family backgrounds, but they are not bad. At least they can support their children to travel around.Sheng Ling has always lived a good life, and has never worried about money, so he never thought that Xie Le'an would worry about spending too much money to go out and play.

If Xie Le'an refused the trip with other reasons, Sheng Ling still had a way to pester him to agree, but now, Sheng Ling felt it was difficult to do so.

The day after tomorrow is the National Day holiday, today is the last evening self-study, the whole class is noisy when get out of class is over, everyone is looking forward to the holiday.

Sheng Ling sat on the seat and waited for Xie Le'an to pack up his things. The two walked out of the classroom together, went to the parking place to ride their bicycles, and then, as usual, they rode home together until they parted at a certain intersection.

Along the way, no one mentioned the holiday.

Xie Le'an rode his car into a family compound, and the dilapidated stone road made his car sway twice.When he arrived at the place, Xie Le'an parked the car in the shed and locked it, turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone, and illuminated the way to go home.

Grandma was already asleep, and the door was locked. Xie Le'an opened the door with a key and turned on a small light.

There was a bowl turned upside down on the table. Xie Le'an opened the bowl and saw that there were two boiled eggs inside, which were left for him by his grandmother for supper.

Xie Le'an peeled off one egg and ate it, leaving the other egg.Grandma is reluctant to eat on her own initiative, but if Xie Le'an is left, grandma will say that he eats too little, and help him get rid of the leftover food.

Then Xie Le'an went to the toilet to wash up.

After washing up, Xie Le'an returned to the room, lay heavily on the bed, and was a little tired after studying in the classroom for a day.

His room was so small that there was only room for a desk and a single bed. Xie Le'an knew that his family was not rich, but he didn't feel ashamed about it.

It's just a pity that there is no way to hang out with Sheng Ling.

This is the first time I have made such a close friend, but because of money, I can't do whatever I want.

Money, what a worrying little thing.

Xie Le'an has seen it on the map, and it is not far from the sea. He subconsciously rejects Shengling because in his perception, travel is a very luxurious and expensive thing.

But he really didn't know how much it would cost to go to the beach.Xie Le'an thought about it, I still have some pocket money, will it be enough?

With some secret expectation, he took out his mobile phone and searched for the seaside town mentioned by Yang Wenkai today.

The first few results on the search page were all the prices of group tours, all of which were four-digit prices without exception, which shocked Xie Le'an.

Xie Le'an heard from them that they planned to rent a car to go to the beach, so he searched for the price of a taxi, and was surprised that the one-way cost of taking a taxi alone was several hundred.

And...the beach house.

Xie Le'an saw the outrageous five-figure price per night behind the beach villa, and completely gave up the idea of ​​going on a trip.

Grandma only has a little retirement salary every month, and my mother works in other places. The money sent every month can support the daily expenses of grandma and Xie Le'an, but it is absolutely impossible to support him to spend thousands of dollars for one game.

Xie Le'an locked the screen of the phone, sighed, lying on the pillow, and poked his fingers on the screen of the phone.

He muttered to himself: "If I make money in the future, I must go out with Sheng Ling once."

Xie Le'an lay on the bed and swayed his legs, shaking away the faint disappointment in his heart.

He poked and poked, and the phone screen suddenly lit up, and someone called him at night.

When Xie Le'an saw the caller ID, it turned out to be Sheng Ling, his heart skipped a beat, and he clicked to connect.

"have you slept?"

Sheng Ling's voice came out from the phone and became distorted.The two of them usually stay together all the time and don't need a mobile phone at all. This is the first time Xie Le'an heard Sheng Ling's voice from the phone.

"I haven't slept yet." Xie Le'an replied honestly.

"You know I failed the monthly exam last time, right?" Sheng Ling said, but what Xie Le'an had expected was not about the National Day holiday.

Xie Le'an didn't understand why he said this suddenly, but he answered along the way: "Yes."

"My dad said he would hire me a tutor." Sheng Ling said in an unhappy tone, "But I hate tutors, those college students seem unreliable."

Xie Le'an still didn't know why Sheng Ling said this, so he could only comfort him: "Your father is also worried about your grades."

"That's why I told him that I want you to be my tutor." Sheng Ling threw out shocking words.

"Me!?" Xie Le'an sat up from the bed in fright, "How can I..."

Sheng Ling's family is so rich, the tutors his father hired must be college students from prestigious schools, how could I be Sheng Ling's tutor.

"Why can't you, you are No.1 in our school, maybe you will do better than those tutors in the future. And you are a high school student, you know what we are learning best." Sheng Ling said clearly.

He paused, and continued: "And what those tutors do is actually urge me to do my homework on weekends and arrange some self-study content for me. Didn't you do a good job last week?"

Xie Le'an was embarrassed by what he said, scratching his head and defending: "That's what Teacher He ordered to help each other, and I didn't do anything."

"Since you promised Mr. He to help me, how about you come to be my tutor and get paid from my dad? It's great, at the current market price, 200 yuan an hour." Sheng Ling said.

200 yuan an hour!Xie Le'an's breathing was stagnant.

Sheng Ling continued: "You did homework with me last week, from 7 o'clock to 10 o'clock, 3 hours is 600 yuan, and Saturday morning to noon is almost 3 hours, a total of 200 yuan, Is it very profitable?"

When he said this, Xie Le'an couldn't agree more. How could he get so much money for doing homework with him?

"No, no, I can't take your money."

Sheng Ling was silent for a moment, then suddenly coughed twice, and said to Xie Le'an in a low voice: "This is not my money, it is my father's. And your money will be shared with me."

"what???"

Sheng Ling was confident: "I failed the exam, and my father cut my pocket money. I taught you this way of making money, so you have to share the money with me."

How could such a thing happen!Xie Le'an felt dizzy.
