Chapter 99 Black is Small

Chapter 99 Black is Small
As the college entrance examination is approaching, I finally don’t have to go to half a day of classes on Sunday.

In fact, Xu Mingyuan believes that whether there is a half-day class or not, not much can be learned. It simply tightens the students' nature of not wanting to be constrained.

Who knew that if they didn’t have to get up early on Sunday, these eighteen or nineteen-year-olds would have so much fun.

During the first weekend off, Xu Mingyuan did not go anywhere and just stayed at home to recuperate.

Watching Xiao Yangzhi working hard, Xu Mingyuan helped by mopping the floor.

Although there didn't seem to be many specks of dust, Xiao Yangzhi was tactless enough to mop the floor again, telling Xu Mingyuan with his actions that what he was doing was actually in vain.

Isn't this how the classroom is cleaned? It looks very clean too.

It was impossible for her to go to work, so Xu Mingyuan simply grabbed her and stopped her from working.

Since I can't help, I'll just lighten her burden a little.

Adding the two together, Xu Mingyuan is equivalent to doing most of the housework.

No need to clean windows, tables, or wardrobes, the workload is reduced by more than half.

Xiao Yangzhi threw the taken-down sheets and quilt covers into the washing machine and finished the work that usually took a whole morning in less than two hours.

Taking advantage of the time when Xu Mingyuan was free, Xiao Yangzhi stretched his arm out of the window and carefully observed the swaying of the leaves downstairs.

Seeing that he finally stopped, he quickly found the badminton racket in the cabinet and walked around quietly in front of Xu Mingyuan.

Seeing that her brother understood what she meant without her even saying a word, Yang Zhi pursed her lips.

Taking advantage of the nice weather, I went downstairs, found an open space, and played badminton for a while.

However, outdoor badminton is very dependent on the weather. It is not convenient to play when there is a little wind. I changed positions several times and after playing for more than an hour, I still had to go home.

Little Yangzhi was still very happy. She could spend the whole day with Xu Mingyuan, or play games at home.

If Xu Mingyuan didn't want to eat noodles all day and insisted on going downstairs to eat, Xiao Yangzhi wouldn't have wanted to go out to throw away the garbage.

However, at dinner time, the steamed buns that Xiao Yangzhi bought at noon came in handy. She put them in the steamer to heat them up, and ate them with the braised meat.

Going out early and coming back late every day, life in the third year of high school is basically the most tiring time in a person’s life.

Anyone who can survive the senior year of high school and maintain the spirit of struggle, even if he does not do scientific research and enters society, is definitely a master of internal competition and a firm supporter of 996.

At present, the whole society is climbing upward along a steep slope, which will always produce a group of people inwardly, making the working environment tense.

This is something that cannot be changed. Xu Mingyuan has become a small soldier in this army of millions, adding some bricks and tiles.

Tao Shuxin was still sulking because Xu Mingyuan did not come out to the party yesterday and even hung up on her call.

She didn't care about her image on Saturday night and just wanted to pull Xu Mingyuan to her and ask him to promise to accompany her to dinner, drink milk tea, go shopping, etc. the next day.

However, not only did Xu Mingyuan refuse to agree, he actually got into a taxi and drove away, leaving her standing there in a daze.

Listening to the laughter of the little sisters, Tao Shuxin had already decided to ignore him for the rest of her life.

The countdown on the blackboard was about to be reduced to less than twenty days. Even Tao Shuxin found it difficult to concentrate on his studies. He could not help but get distracted after listening to the class for a while, and his heart was in agony.

Class 7 is not a top class after all. Seeing other students relaxing, it is hard for a little girl like Tao Shuxin not to be influenced by them.

But Xu Mingyuan was still listening to the teacher carefully, which eased Tao Shuxin's depressed mood a little. He still took his promises very seriously.

Some of the resentment was dispelled, and Tao Shuxin knew very well that if she didn't take the initiative to talk to Xu Mingyuan, he could pretend nothing happened and completely forget about the matter.

"Hey! I'm angry!"

Finally, Tao Shuxin couldn't help but touch him with her elbow.

"Huh? What? Are you angry? Why are you angry?"

Xu Mingyuan asked in confusion.

"Hehehe..."

Seeing Xu Mingyuan's puzzled look, Tao Shuxin smiled speechlessly.

She felt that the lake in her heart, which had almost calmed down, suddenly began to boil and was about to burst its dam.

It's like this again, it's really annoying!

Tao Shuxin was going crazy. She clenched her fists until her fingertips turned white. She knew very well that Xu Mingyuan was just pretending.

"You're not ashamed to say you don't know?"

Tao Shuxin narrowed her eyes and stared at him.

"I do not know."

Seeing her face like a wrinkled bun, Xu Mingyuan flipped open the textbook nonchalantly. "I asked you to come out yesterday, why didn't you come?"

"Oh, is that why?"

Xu Mingyuan suddenly realized.

"if not!"

Tao Shuxin lowered her voice, fearing that others would notice.

"You are too petty. If we want to go out for a stroll, we can go anytime. Come on, it's break time now, let's go downstairs now."

Xu Mingyuan grabbed her wrist and started to help her get up.

"Oops! Wait a minute!"

Tao Shuxin hurriedly clapped the hand that was holding hers.

Seeing Xu Mingyuan laughing, he angrily put his hand back into his school uniform pocket.

The first and second year high school students on the playground had all started lining up for exercises. If she didn't refuse quickly at this time, Xu Mingyuan would definitely pull her to the podium for a spin.

"Look, you're not going again, so now the ratio between us is one to one, which cancels each other out." Xu Mingyuan said.

"No, no, are you being naughty?"

Tao Shuxin's eyes widened.

"This doesn't work, and that doesn't work. It's too difficult." Xu Mingyuan shook his head.

"Go away, tell me why you didn't come yesterday."

"It would be fine if there were fewer people, but you organized more than 20 people, and most of them are girls. I'm too lazy to be a follower."

"We dragged you along just because there were so many people. What do you know?"

Tao Shuxin folded her hands across her chest, unaware of her good intentions.

"What's there to not understand? It's just a gathering to eat and drink together. If you want, don't invite Tang Lin and the others next time. Let's go out alone." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"No! Who would go out alone with you? You are not a good person!"

Tao Shuxin's face turned slightly red.

Although Tao Shuxin also thought about going out together, every time the time came, she would think of asking Tang Lin to go along.

Otherwise, when facing her mother's question, she would hesitate and dare not answer.

This little girl says one thing and means another, and is very thin-skinned.

"Forget it. Studying is tiring and I don't like going out."

"..."

Tao Shuxin gritted her teeth.

Why don't you insist? Maybe I will agree to it.
As the temperature gets warmer, Tao Shuxin wears a black and white school uniform outer layer and a cool black sweatshirt underneath.

Black generally indicates maturity, but when Tao Shuxin frowned, she looked more youthful and cute.

"Hey! What are you looking at?"

Tao Shuxin quickly glared at him, lowered her arms, and decisively zipped up her school uniform to her neck.

"I was just admiring your looks and glancing down at you. Do you have to make such a fuss?"

Xu Mingyuan was somewhat helpless. He made himself look like a gangster. What had he not seen?

"Don't say it!"

Tao Shuxin lowered her head and glanced around, afraid that someone would hear her.

"It's not that big to begin with. Remember to wear light-colored clothes next time. Black makes you look smaller."

After Xu Mingyuan finished speaking, he ignored her.

"..."

Tao Shuxin thought he had misheard, looked down and wanted to hit someone.

But I was too embarrassed to do it, because God knew what vicious words this bastard would say next.

I simply followed Xu Mingyuan's example and pretended not to hear anything.
