After being reborn, I found out that my deskmate was secretly in love with me

Chapter 35 How old is this year?
Lu Meiqing was choked. She would lose face by calling her daughter a waste in front of everyone, but she couldn't swallow it.

Lu Ming didn't care what Lu Meiqing thought, but he was afraid that what Lu Meiqing said would hurt Tao Xinyi's heart again, so he softened his tone.

"Auntie, you have to think clearly before you speak. Once you say something, you can't take it back."

"That's how your parents taught you..."

As she was speaking, Lu Meiqing inadvertently caught a glimpse of fear and inferiority hidden in her daughter's eyes, and the words got stuck in her throat and she swallowed.In her memory, no matter how she scolded Tao Xinyi, she was always very positive and said she would work hard.

Since when did her daughter become like this?

Lu Meiqing's heart trembled, thinking that she might have read it wrong just now, and suddenly realized that she seemed to have scolded too much just now, and said unnaturally: "Mom is all for your own good, don't take it to heart if you say something wrong."

"I know you're doing it for my own good." Tao Xinyi smiled wryly, then pretended to be calm, went back to her seat and picked up a pen to write the questions mechanically.

Lu Ming stared at Lu Meiqing and said solemnly: "If you talk about her again, it won't have any positive effect."

"Don't meddle in other people's business at such a young age, do I need your advice when I take care of children?"

Lu Meiqing looked at Lu Ming and saw that Wang Ying was surrounded by other parents and walking towards the outside of the classroom. She didn't want to continue entanglement with Lu Ming, so she hurried to follow them.

A feeling of powerlessness came to Lu Ming's heart. He calmed down, followed Lu Meiqing, and said sincerely: "People's nerves cannot be too tight. Her nerves are already too tight. Auntie, please do everything possible. Think about it?"

The young man's words made Lu Meiqing feel a little dazed. She stopped slightly, but saw an empty seat next to Wang Ying and hurriedly squeezed in.

Seeing this, Lu Ming didn't say anything, returned to his seat, sat next to Tao Xinyi, and started studying.

After chatting for a while, Lu Guofu saw his son come back and was studying hard in his seat. He smiled with deep eye wrinkles and found a secluded place to smoke.

The parent-teacher meeting only lasts for one and a half hours.

When the parents left, the class bell would ring as usual, the teacher would still walk up to the podium, and the students would study more seriously, but their eyes were a little more nervous and less bright.

There is no evening self-study on Friday, even in the third year of high school. They leave school at five o'clock in the afternoon.

The melodious saxophone music sounded to signal the end of school. Lin Xuan picked up his schoolbag and rushed out of the teaching building. He looked at his father who was spinning next to the old tree, took his arm and said: "Dad, treat me to a good meal quickly and comfort me." A wounded heart.”

Afterwards, the father and daughter walked out of the campus slowly, and the continuous sound of jokes diluted their dissatisfaction in their studies.

Tao Xinyi walked alone on the long slope, looking at them with envy, looking lonely, feeling some inexplicable pain in her mouth, and her eyes were a little swollen and painful from crying.

"I remember that the pickled fish restaurant opposite is good. Do you want to eat it?"

Inadvertently, Lu Ming walked up to Tao Xinyi and said in a casual tone.

"But, I have to go home for dinner." After speaking, Tao Xinyi's eyes dimmed a bit.

"It's okay. Then I'll buy you some snacks. You wait for me!"

Lu Ming hurried to a nearby canteen and bought two sausages. He saw the light blue rubber bands on the shelf and took them to pay without thinking.

The sausages were hot and looked appetizing.Tao Xinyi took the sausage and ate it in small bites. The corners of her mouth slowly raised. The sausage was a little sweet.

Seeing that Tao Xinyi's mood improved, Lu Ming took out the rubber band from his pocket and said loudly, "I'll give you a gift."

Tao Xinyi took the rubber band in surprise, and untied the original rubber band with her fingers. Her waist-length hair was loose and was blown by the evening wind. Her hair touched her face as white as the bright moon. It was pure and charming, touching the young man's heart. Heart.

Then, she combed her hair with her hands, hooked the light blue rubber band with her fingertips and tied it into a ponytail again.

Because she didn't have a comb, her hair was a little messy, which seemed to contradict her former image of a good girl.

"Lu Ming, who do you think is the prettiest in our class?"

"you."

"Of course, I'm the prettiest." Tao Xinyi said, with irrepressible confidence in her eyes and dimples in her smile.

Perhaps it was a tacit understanding that they all slowed down and walked slower and slower, but after all, they were going home in opposite directions and they were bound to part ways.

At this moment, the phone rang quickly, and Tao Xinyi awkwardly took out the flip phone from her schoolbag, and answered the call from Lu Meiqing.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

"Xinyi, Mom has something to do tonight, so she won't come back for dinner. Do you still have money?"

"Have."

"Okay, then you can find a restaurant outside to eat."

"Beep beep..."

Listening to the voice that ended the call, Tao Xinyi felt very relaxed. She looked up into Lu Ming's eyes and said, "My mother won't go home tonight, so you can have dinner with me."

"We eat fish with pickled cabbage."

Lu Ming's eyes fell on the light blue rubber band on her head, and he couldn't feel his heartbeat, maybe it was beating too fast.

Although he threw almost all the money he earned into the stock market, in the past two days, he discovered the 320 yuan of private money he had hidden before, and he still had money to treat Tao Xinyi to eat pickled fish.

Lu Guofu was sitting in the car, looking around, wanting to wait for his son to come back and take him home.

It was really fun today, I made dozens of dollars less, and I was my second son’s driver to pick him up and take him home.He was distracted just now and missed Lu Ming walking out of the school gate. When he turned around to smoke, he saw his son and Tao Xinyi walking together. That was not the direction home.

Lu Guofu hurriedly got out of the car and ran to follow them.

Lu Guofu had a good impression of Tao Xinyi, but he had a bad impression of Lu Meiqing.

Seeing that they were about to enter "Six Brothers Pickled Fish", Lu Guofu hurried up and patted Lu Ming on the shoulder, and said, "Come on, today Dad invites you to eat fish! Eat fish to nourish your brain, eat more!"

Afterwards, Lu Guofu said to Tao Xinyi gently, "Girl, uncle invites you to eat together. You must have helped Lu Ming a lot."

"It's his enthusiasm for learning, which is mostly mobilized by you!"

Lu Ming didn't refute. This is not bad. Although it's a pity that he can't eat alone with Tao Xinyi, he still understands his father's temper. He said loudly, "My father is very nice, let's eat together."

The arrival of her parents made Tao Xinyi a little shy, but she didn't want to refuse, she just nodded and agreed, her cheeks were dyed bright red quickly.

After entering the restaurant, Lu Guofu specially picked out a large table that could seat seven or eight people, and arranged the seats so that Lu Ming sat on the left, Tao Xinyi sat on the right, and he sat between them.

Regarding his father's actions, Lu Ming felt a little helpless, but there was nothing he could do.

The meal between the three of them was unusually silent. Lu Guofu was distracted with the menu and asked subconsciously.

"Girl, how old are you this year?"
