Oh, dear! Fish me again

Chapter 13 No one is a pure and kind girl

After Zhang Li’s tutoring was finished, Tang Shu followed him to a nearby affordable supermarket.

She doesn't have high requirements for the quality of life, and can almost be said to have no requirements. After all, for a tree, a hilltop is enough to survive.

After entering the door, Tang Shu didn't want to waste too much of Zhang Li's time. It was really not easy for him to earn a living while being injured.

So she walked into the nearest store, took a quick look around, bought basic items such as a new mattress, quilt, pillow, etc., paid, and asked the store to help deliver the goods to her door.

In less than an hour, the two of them walked out of the store.

Zhang Li remained silent throughout the whole process, except for a serious look at her when he left.

The location of the hypermarket is close to West City, and to walk back to their community, one needs to cross a bar street.

Zhang Li was obviously very familiar with this place. He walked slowly in front and led the way.

Tang Shu keenly noticed that Zhang Li was in a bad mood and it was not a good time to attack him, so she kept a distance from him all the way.

He didn't speak and she didn't initiate a conversation, and the atmosphere gradually became subtle.

Zhang Li suddenly stopped and turned to look at her.

"Don't you have anything to ask?"

What happened yesterday and what happened today are not trivial matters that can be easily forgotten at their age.

Tang Shu saw it all, so why didn't she ask a single question?

No matter how reserved and deep Zhang Li was, he still cared a little.

"No,"

Tang Shu shook her head and smiled harmlessly, "I'm not very curious. Of course, if brother wants to say something, I can listen~"

Although he felt powerless like punching cotton, Zhang Li breathed a sigh of relief.

Because she didn't care about what he did at all, in a sense, it was a kind of recognition.

"Why...are you with Gu Chiqi?" Zhang Li asked his doubts.

Tang Shu glanced at Zhang Li cautiously, her eyes full of excitement, and she seemed very happy that he took the initiative to talk to her.

He then quickened his pace, walked side by side with Zhang Li, and explained in a soft voice that he was going to study at No. 1 Middle School.

Zhang Li turned to look at her in surprise, "You want to come to No. 1 Middle School?"

Tang Shu nodded, "Yes, the person I mentioned last time who stole something very important from me is also in No. 1 Middle School."

"....Is it related to Gu Chiqi?"

As expected of Zhang Li, he figured out the important points right away.

Gu Chiqi's aunt is a director of No. 1 Middle School. His family background is one of the best in City A. As long as you have a good relationship with him, everything you do will go much more smoothly.

Since Tang Shu entered No. 1 Middle School with a purpose, it is easy to understand why she appeared next to Gu Chiqi.

When you get along with smart people, you can always save a lot of talk and just get to the point.

So Tang Shu lowered her head and smiled, raised her hand to smooth the green hair behind her ear, and did not answer.

"Brother, do you live alone? How do you solve the problem of three meals a day?" She changed the subject directly.

Zhang Li glanced at her, lowered his head and chuckled.

Everyone is not a kind-hearted girl, but he really likes Tang Shu's frankness.

Just as they were about to speak, some shrill laughter came from the front, attracting their attention.

*

The bar street was very deserted in the afternoon. Diagonally in front of us was a very grand bar that occupied most of the river.

There were several huge parasols open at the open-air booths facing the street. A few gangsters in tight T-shirts were squatting on the worn wooden floor, smoking, bored.

A girl of about seventeen or eighteen was wandering at the door of the store. She was wearing a floral chiffon shirt and a knee-length pleated skirt, carrying a small and exquisite backpack. Her straight black hair was draped behind her ears, and she looked pure and pretty.

The hooligans were bored anyway, so they would definitely start teasing.

"Hey, sister, who are you looking for? Are you looking for me, your brother?"

"Sister, you are so beautiful. Do you want to play with your brothers?"

"Don't stand outside. The sun is so strong. You'll get tanned soon. Come inside and hide..."

The girl tightly grasped the strap of her backpack, her face red and her head lowered in fear.

But she still didn't leave, obviously waiting for someone.

Zhang Li paused, turned his head to look at Tang Shu, a look of helplessness flashed across his eyes, and then he strode over.

"Xiao Lan, why are you here? Are you looking for me?"

*

Zhang Li grabbed the girl's wrist and asked her gently. He turned around, nodded and greeted the gangsters, then pulled them forward.

Tang Shu followed slowly, staring at Zhang Li in confusion.

He was silent and indifferent a moment ago, but now he seemed to have suddenly become a different person. At this moment, Zhang Li had a warm and sunny smile on his face, and even his eyebrows and eyes were filled with tenderness.

"Zhang Li,"

The girl shyly looked down at the boy holding her hand and whispered, "I'll go to your house to find you. If you're not at home, I'll come to the bar where you work."

Zhang Li loosened his hand as if realizing it belatedly, looking at her doting smile.

"Well, what do you want from me, Xiao Lan?"

The girl gently lifted her long hair that was blown to her cheeks by the wind, "Mom and Dad asked you to come to our house for dinner."

Zhang Li nodded, "Today is Teacher's Day. Did you receive the gift I sent to Teacher Huajiang?"

"I received it. My dad likes it very much. He put it in a vase a long time ago~"

"As long as Teacher Jiang likes it, let's go. I'll buy something on the way~"

The girl shook her head and grabbed Zhang Li's arm in a hurry, "No need to buy it, mom said you just come to eat, everyone misses you~"

"Everyone?"

Zhang Li raised the corner of his mouth and looked into her eyes jokingly, "Does it also include Xiao Lan?"

The girl's face turned red, and she stammered and stopped talking.

Tang Shu behind him raised her eyebrows, creating an atmosphere of pink first love.

*

When Tang Shu heard the girl's name, she knew it was the heroine of the book.

The pure campus beauty Jiang Yulan, who comes from a scholarly family, is a beautiful girl with excellent character and academic performance. She ranks second in the entire No. 1 Middle School.

Gu Chiqi likes her, but she likes Zhang Li.

There are a lot of bloody plots waiting to be staged between the three people, and there are also several supporting female and male actors in between.

But at this time, these plots have not yet begun.

A man of insight is a wise man. Tang Shu didn't want to cause trouble to Zhang Li.

She immediately took two steps back, looking like a completely unrelated passerby.

Noticing Tang Shu's actions, Zhang Li pursed his lips and turned to look at her.

Tang Shu immediately smiled and waved at him.

With a well-behaved and sensible smile, she lip-synced and said,

"Goodbye brother."

Zhang Li: ...

*

At this time, the tall and thin gangster leader with yellow hair and a crew cut just came out of the bar door with his head lowered.

He looked up and saw Tang Shu at the door of the bar and was stunned for a moment.

He smiled and whistled, greeting her in an informal manner.

"Hey, isn't this the sister from this morning?"

Tang Shu turned around, smiled generously, walked under the parasol and greeted him, "Brother Hao, good afternoon~"

Unexpectedly, Tang Shu was not afraid of him at all, and Ning Hao couldn't help but smile.

He glanced at the gangsters nearby, and they immediately went in.

Ning Hao then asked Tang Shu, "What are you doing here so late in the afternoon?"

"I just bought something and was about to go home,"

The girl stood under the parasol, not shy at all, as if she was just chatting casually with a friend she knew.

She asked Ning Hao, "Brother Hao, do you know which way to get to the Sanjian Family Compound?"

Ning Hao lit a cigarette and said nonchalantly, "The Sanjian Family Compound... It's a bit far, can I take you there?"

"Okay~" Tang Shu immediately responded with a smile.

The nonchalant expression on Ning Hao's face completely disappeared, and he looked at Tang Shu with some surprise.

They are small gangsters, and whenever they see a pretty girl, they have to flirt with her. It seems to have become an unwritten rule.

But what about this beautiful girl in front of him? Not only did she not shy away like other girls, she also did not indignantly call him shameless. Not to mention that she took the initiative to ask him for directions, she actually trusted him to take her there...

Hiss, different.

Since I'm bored anyway, I might as well give her a ride.

So Ning Hao put out his cigarette and took Tang Shu into the small alley behind the bar street.

.....

Behind him, Zhang Li withdrew his gaze.

That road is indeed a shortcut back to the community, and Ning Hao is not that kind of despicable person.

Well, nothing to worry about.

"Zhang Li"

Jiang Yulan beside him called out to him in confusion, "What are you looking at? Do you know that girl just now?"

"do not know."

Zhang Li replied calmly, and when he looked at Jiang Yulan again, he regained his usual gentle and sunny demeanor.

"Let's go~"

"Ok!"
