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

Chapter 9 Power outage

The little girl took the leather ring tentatively, and smiled brightly, showing her missing teeth: "I like it, thank you Guoguo!"

Then, she turned her head to look at her little friend in the distance, and ran away with her little schoolbag on her back.

Because he was delayed at school for a while, when Lu Ming walked to the vegetable market, it was already dark and many fresh leaves had been sold out.

Lu Ming walked to the end of the vegetable market and saw a gray-haired old woman leaning over to peel green beans and coughing from time to time.

Perhaps because of the constant coughing of the grandmother Wang Luhua, there were not many people in front of her stall, and there were still many fresh vegetables in front of the Kuaishou stall.

When Wang Luhua saw Lu Ming, she hurriedly said: "I am old, weak and coughing. My food is cheaper than theirs."

"Ah."

Lu Ming picked out two loofahs, they looked the same as those from other stores, even fresher, so he bought two.

After walking around twice, he went to another stall to buy a handful of Shanghai greens. From a distance, he saw that the old man's stall was still doing bleak business. His compassion made him go back and said, "Grandma, you bought too many vegetables." It’s cheap and the margins are too low.”

"Otherwise, if you try to buy it more expensively, maybe your business will improve."

Wang Luhua looked at the half-grown boy in front of her in confusion, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm not doing well in business if I sell it cheap, and if I sell it expensive, no one will buy it."

Lu Ming looked at it and said, "Maybe it's because you sold it too cheaply, and your cough made them even more afraid to buy."

"Is that so? Thank you, kid!"

Perhaps because she was too excited, Wang Luhua lowered her head and coughed again, her suppressed voice sounding like a crazy gasp after life gets old.

"Sometimes, what people buy with money is a trust, and they think that expensive things will be better."

"Goodbye, grandma."

Lu Ming left with the vegetables, stepping on the uneven cement floor and walking quickly on the roadside, inhaling car exhaust. No birdsong could be heard among the high-rise buildings.

Time was limited, so Lu Ming casually fried loofah and vegetables with stir-fried meat, but it was also full of color, flavor and taste, which whetted the appetite.

Meng Ruohua ate the loofah and praised its deliciousness several times. She praised her son's ability to buy groceries and even left a small bowl for Lu Guofu who returned home at night.

After suffering in the scorching heat for a long time, Lu Ming finally waited for the rain. Countless round water droplets fell from the sky, announcing the arrival of late autumn.

Lu Ming looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus tree outside the window that was shaking crazily in the rain. All the flowers that bloomed this year have withered, and said: "Tao Xinyi, the sweet-scented osmanthus you like has withered."

"It will be reopened next year. What time did you sleep last night, and the dark circles under your eyes are so heavy?"

"It's about one o'clock in the morning, it's not too late." Lu Ming turned away. There were still a few weeks of half-term exams. He promised to be among the top fifty in his grade and get the 3000 yuan promised by his mother.

Tao Xinyi frowned: "We don't have that much homework, why do you sleep so late?"

"Just played for a while."

Lu Ming rubbed his sore eyes, not wanting to tell the truth.Regarding the improvement in his grades, Lu Ming hoped that Tao Xinyi would think that it was due to talent, rather than hard work and hard work behind the scenes.

After all, most people will admire the gifted and ignore the wisdom of the hardworking.

Tao Xinyi lowered her head to write the questions, and worked on the questions with her head down. Perhaps the sound of the rain was too loud, and she couldn't help but make a few mistakes. The sticky air pressed against her skin, and she felt restless.

Dark clouds gathered, covering the sun, and the sharp thunder tore through the silence. The sound of "boom" scared Tao Xinyi and she wrote the wrong word again. She turned her head, with water in her eyes, and said, "Is the game so fun?"

"You said you wanted to take the exam in the same city as me, why are you still playing games?"

Seeing Tao Xinyi's tears, Lu Ming had no choice but to be patient, carefully organize his words, and said, "Then I'll go to bed early, don't get excited, take a deep breath."

"I will go to bed before twelve o'clock tonight!"

"Really? You promise not to lie to me." Tao Xinyi's eyes were full of distrust. It turned out that Lu Ming had said this many times and never followed it. He said aggrievedly: "Who cares if you sleep or not? The whole night has nothing to do with me!”

If she hadn't been reborn and Tao Xinyi made such a fuss, she would have lost patience and ignored her.

It seems that I have made the eldest lady cry many times in the past.But even the reborn Lu Ming couldn't help complaining, "It's not like she stayed up late when I stayed up late, she's not sleepy, she has such a strong sense of responsibility."

"Miss, don't be angry. I promise I will never lie to you this time!" As he said that, Lu Ming made a gesture of swearing to the sky, with a solemn look on his face.

Tao Xinyi pursed her lips, tears flowing back, and said, "Just pretend. I will barely believe you again."

"Don't worry." Lu Ming looked into Tao Xinyi's eyes.

Maybe it was because the thunder was too noisy or the rain was too noisy. Tao Xinyi didn't respond and turned around to write and draw on the scratch paper.

Curiously, Lu Ming leaned over to probe and found that Tao Xinyi's face was red again. Thinking of their previous conversation, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Just now, was I teasing her?
So, is she attracted to me?
The ringing of the school bell drew Lu Ming's attention to the blackboard. Printed on the white wall were red words "Study hard and make progress every day."

Focus on writing the topic and don’t think about anything else.Chemistry teacher Zhou Wenwen stepped into the classroom on high heels, holding a stack of papers and motioning for class representatives to come up and distribute the papers.

Lu Ming went over it several times and found this question really difficult.

It may be that the entrance to school is imminent, and the teacher is making it difficult for them.Lu Ming picked up the pen and began to write with difficulty, but he was not sure about most of the questions.

Halfway through the exam, the incandescent lights in the classroom suddenly went out, leaving a unique dimness on a rainy day. Fortunately, he was sitting by the window and could roughly see the numbers.

power cut.

Although it was an exam, the light was too dim, and most of the students couldn't see the questions on the test paper clearly, so they had to put their eyes into the test paper and carefully identify them.

Zhou Wenwen said helplessly: "There's a power outage. You can't see clearly even if you lie down. We don't need this paper either. I'll leave the test paper for you to go back and do it as your homework."

"How to arrange the remaining three 10 minutes, do you have any good ideas?"

As soon as I heard that I didn't need to take the exam, the atmosphere in the classroom instantly became lively, with boos and boos coming and going.

Some talk about playing drums and passing flowers, some talk about playing flying flower orders, and some talk about storytelling.

Lu Ming ignored the noise in the classroom, turned out his chemistry book, and checked for omissions.In fact, it's not really a check-up. This paper tested most of the knowledge points he didn't know, and almost turned him into a college scumbag.

Taking the advantage of sitting by the window, Lu Ming could roughly see the paper clearly, ignored the noise and laughter around him, and continued to study.

"I remember I still have a few candles in my office. When I go back to get them, it's too dark now."

"The class representative maintains discipline."

But the teenagers without their teachers are like wild horses running wild, which cannot be controlled by class representatives at all.The voice gradually boiled like water.

Lin Xuan, the chemistry class representative, watched the situation gradually getting out of control, slammed the table and yelled.

"Quiet! Quiet!"
