Chapter 18

Zhao Jiu wiped his hair with a towel twice, pursed his lips, and asked casually: "How many small forests does the school have?"

Bai Fei on the side was about to say that the school had quite a few, but Qian Lei had already blurted out: "Of course there's only one!"

The only small forest that could be called a holy land for dating was the one between the teaching building and the cafeteria, with winding paths and dim street lights, and it wasn't easy for teachers to find you walking inside.

Zhao Jiu's hand on the towel immediately shrank slightly. Then Su... Su Li asked him to go to the small forest?

"What's wrong with you?" Qian Lei felt that Zhao Jiu seemed to be panicking about something, seemingly at a loss.

"Nothing." Zhao Jiu took a deep breath, steadied his mind. It wasn't necessarily asking him for a private walk.

When he asked her to get up for morning runs before, it wasn't like they hadn't passed through the small forest.

He wiped his hair twice casually, then picked up the hairdryer and was about to blow it.

Behind, Qian Lei saw that he was fine, so he continued to ask: "So when did these two happen? I actually didn't see it at all."

Bai Fei crossed his legs and said: "It seems that Jin Xun moved last semester, and he happened to be in the same residential area as the study committee member of Class 6. Both of them were day students, going to school and coming home together."

"Probably love grew over time?" Bai Fei guessed.

With a "clatter," the hairdryer fell to the ground. The three boys finally looked at Zhao Jiu together.

"Zhao Jiu? Are you okay?"

Couldn't hold the hairdryer steadily?

Zhao Jiu looked at the pure black hairdryer that had fallen to the ground and loosened his fingertips: "Nothing."

He bent down, picked up the hairdryer, and his thin lips pursed uncomfortably. He and Su Li had been together for quite a long time, right?

And because he pulled her to work overtime, they were basically together morning and night. Because he felt that her home was too far, he arranged a guest room for her directly at his house.

But they had been together for ten years. If Su Li would have love grow over time, it should have grown long ago.

Qian Lei behind suddenly realized: "I suddenly remembered, once on a Saturday I saw those two being chased by a vicious dog on the street, Jin Xun pulled the study committee member and ran very fast. Finally jumped on the bus, so there's also the suspension bridge effect?"

Zhao Jiu's head buzzed and he was dazed again. He was actually quite panicked about suddenly returning to high school, but he felt quite at ease the moment he saw Su Li.

So Su Li...

Bai Fei added: "Our Jin Xun doesn't look bad either, it's normal for the two to be in puppy love."

Zhao Jiu's hand shook again, and then he started blowing his hair absentmindedly. He didn't look bad either.

He didn't know what to do? He had been confessed to quite a few times since he was a child, but this time it was Su Li...

Zhao Jiu pursed his lips. He was a bit panicked.

Several boys looked at Zhao Jiu, who was blowing his hair slowly, then looked at themselves, stopped chatting, and hurriedly queued for a shower.

Compared to Zhao Jiu, they seemed a bit too rough?

Zhao Jiu finished blowing his hair, opened the wardrobe, revealing the neatly hung clothes inside. The butler prepared them.

After wearing a jacket outside at No. 1 High School, you could wear your own clothes inside.

He looked at the clothes and was dazed for a moment, then one hand touched the watch placed under the clothes.

His phone was confiscated, and he had to rely on the watch to tell the time.

Zhao Jiu finished tidying up, went to bed, and glanced at his watch before putting it down.

If Su Li had that intention, how should he reply?

Zhao Jiu pursed his lips. Forget it, talk about it tomorrow. He glanced at the time again; it was only eleven o'clock. Six hours until five.

In the girls' dormitory, Su Li came out after a shower and finished a problem in the last few minutes before the lights went out.

Seeing Chen Xue and Liu Jiajia about to climb into bed, she hurriedly said: "I might get up a bit early tomorrow morning, I'll try not to disturb you."

"Mm? What are you getting up early for?" Liu Jiajia asked.

Su Li: "I'm helping Zhao Jiu make up a lesson."

"That's good." Chen Xue and Liu Jiajia understood, and at the same time envied Zhao Jiu, who actually managed to get such an obedient Su Li, and even got up early to make up lessons for him.

At this time, the lights went out. Su Li tidied up her homework and put it on the bedside. Go to bed early, have to get up early tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Su Li waited for the dormitory manager to open the door, took her homework out of the dormitory, and then turned toward that small forest.

The trees here towered, becoming a natural barrier between the boys' and girls' dormitories. At this point, several Grade 3 students also walked over. Seeing Su Li, they walked toward the street light at the other end. Su Li moved a dilapidated table out, picked two chairs, and then took out a tissue to wipe them carefully.

Soon, Zhao Jiu walked over wearing a jacket. From afar, he saw the secretary wiping the table and chairs with a tissue, wearing a wide jacket, looking thin and small.

Having been together for too long, he seemed to have forgotten that Su Li was actually very good-looking, with a face the size of a palm and eyes as clear as if washed by water.

Zhao Jiu rubbed the corner of his jacket with his fingertips, then lifted his foot and walked over.

Su Li finished wiping the table and chairs and was about to sit down when she saw her boss coming.

Su Li was slightly startled. Zhao Jiu wasn't wearing the school's summer uniform inside today, but his own, a white short-sleeved shirt, looking refreshing and clean.

She hadn't seen Zhao Jiu as a high school student wearing his own clothes, seeming to have a bit more of the immaturity and vitality that only this age had compared to the grown-up Zhao Jiu.

Zhao Jiu pursed his lips: "Su Li, you asked me..."

Su Li came to her senses, then pointed to the few students at the very end, excitedly: "I tell you, reading here is quiet, the light is good, and when the wind blows, it can wake up the brain."

Zhao Jiu put one hand in his pocket and was stunned at the words: "Mm?"

Su Li: "Wait, where's your book?"

Su Li looked at his hand. Although Gouzi seemed a bit handsome today, was this his reason for not bringing a book?

Zhao Jiu: "???"

What book?

A certain Gouzi tossed and turned on the bed calmly, turned until four-thirty, then got up to wash up and pick clothes.

Completely forgot that Su Li asked him to bring things.

Su Li picked up one of the books on the table: "Fortunately, I brought an extra one."

As a secretary, you have to guard against the boss forgetting things.

Zhao Jiu looked at the homework notebook handed over, slowly pulled his hand out of his pocket, then caught the notebook, his expression a bit dazed.

"I've already circled the useful problems in the notebook. If you understand those few problems, you'll basically master the content of those chapters."

They didn't have enough time, and it was very difficult to rush to the front. After all, although the students at No. 1 High School didn't miss out on novels, games, or gossip, they were also strong in studying.

Their only advantage was that they had already attended high school once. Although they had forgotten almost everything after ten years of work, after picking it up, it shouldn't be too bad.

Zhao Jiu looked at the notebook in his hand, then looked at the secretary who was analyzing something with her eyes lowered, and finally looked at the few students at the end.

Zhao Jiu: "???"

So little Su called him here to be a slow bird flying first?

"The table and chairs have been wiped. Although they are a bit old, they can still be used." Su Li reminded Gouzi that he could sit down.

Only to see Gouzi purse his lips and look at her with a very strange look.

Su Li: "???"

Although she was called the roundworm in Gouzi's stomach at the company, it didn't mean she could know what he was thinking every time, for example, this time, why was Gouzi still standing? Why not sit down?

Zhao Jiu took a deep breath, pulled up the jacket zipper, pulled over a chair and sat down, leaning against the chair back with four broken corners, legs crossed, opened the homework notebook, raised his hand, and Su Li hurriedly placed the pen in his palm.

Su Li thought for a moment that she had returned to the company, and Gouzi took the document and pen, preparing to sign.

Seeing him start to review, Su Li also sat down, opened the homework notebook, and she still had two math problems she hadn't solved.

Su Li tried to draw auxiliary lines. Zhao Jiu looked at the notebook, raised his head to look at the secretary on the side, serious and focused.

Zhao Jiu raised his hand to pinch his fingertips, his gaze returned to Su Li's homework notebook. The problems she circled were indeed helpful for review. And little Su Li's handwriting in high school was neat and delicate, showing that she used to be very obedient.

He suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and focused on the problems.

He just said, how could Su Li prepare to develop something else with him for no reason?

The two watched from five o'clock to six o'clock. Su Li finally solved those two problems and started doing problems from previous chapters again.

Zhao Jiu also digested one-third of the problems Su Li circled.

People gradually came out of the dormitory building, and the surroundings gradually became noisy.

Qian Lei and two roommates walked out.

"You say Zhao Jiu doesn't sleep early in the morning, stands in front of the wardrobe for a long time, and then goes out early, what is he going to do?"

"Dating Su Li?"

"Who dates so early? Any fool knows it's impossible." Qian Lei said.

"I know what he's doing." Bai Fei pointed to the small forest. By the side of the dilapidated piled-up tables and chairs, the girl was lying on the table writing something, and the boy was crossing his legs, leaning against the chair, holding a pen in his hand, as if looking at a contract worth hundreds of millions.

Qian Lei was horrified. Zhao Jiu got up so early, stood in front of the wardrobe for a long time, hesitated, and finally picked a piece of clothing that was too handsome, just to grind problems and read in the morning?

"So this is the world of the big boss?"

Have to dress well even to read?

"No wonder Zhao Jiu is liked by girls." A roommate on the side said.

Several people nodded, and then walked toward the cafeteria. They got up early purely to finish their homework before the end of the morning reading class.

Su Li saw that there was a lot of movement in the dormitory building and said: "Let's go, the cafeteria is open, we can have breakfast! After eating, we can go into the classroom."

Zhao Jiu returned the homework notebook to Su Li, got up, and walked toward the cafeteria together.

Several people from Class 1 were in the cafeteria. Seeing the two walk in, their moods were complex.

Su Li used to follow Jiang Xiangnan, but now that this Zhao Jiu has come, Su Li has become his too.

"Jiang Xiangnan said it himself, the cafeteria menu change has nothing to do with him?" A lively girl from Class 3 asked them curiously.

Several people nodded: "Mm, Jiang Xiangnan said it wasn't him, he seems to think the person who changed the cafeteria is Zhao Jiu?"

"How to say, how to say?" The girl's eyes were overly bright.

Several people from Class 1 said: "Jiang Xiangnan said he spent a thousand gold, Zhao Jiu asked him back, any problem?"

"So it really is Zhao Jiu!" The girl slapped the table, and the people nearby looked at her in unison. She hurriedly restrained herself, then looked at the two who had bought their food and walked to the corner of the dining table.

They guessed it was Zhao Jiu too. Jiang Xiangnan had been enrolled for over a year, if he wanted to change it, he would have changed it long ago, why wait until today?

"So what is Zhao Jiu's background? The cafeteria contracted by the Jiang family, changed as soon as he said so, and he only enrolled for one day!"

The students from Class 1 drank porridge and said: "How would we know? Probably not an ordinary background."

The girl's mouth opened slightly, so Jiang Xiangnan's status is in danger?

In the corner, Chen Xue and Liu Jiajia had already started eating. Seeing them, they waved.

"How was the review?" Chen Xue asked.

Su Li said comfortably: "I solved those two problems, and Zhao Jiu also read a few chapters."

According to this progress, their top twenty in the class should be guaranteed.

Zhao Jiu looked at the secretary who calmly stated the learning progress and ate silently. He would strive not to enter the small forest after the midterm exam ended.:,,.
