Chapter 227 Make him memorize vocabulary!
Li Chen: [As Yan Xi said.]
Wang Qiang: [Received.]
Zhao Zixuan: [Qiangzi, you really have no backbone at all.]
Wang Qiang: [You don't understand.]
Yan Xi looked at the "Received" message and then looked away with satisfaction.
"His execution ability is decent."
Li Chen: "How about me?"
Yan Xi looked at him.
"You want to hear the truth?"
Li Chen remained silent for a second.
"In no mood."
Yan Xi's eyes crinkled slightly.
The two went to the cafeteria for lunch.
Li Chen ordered hot soup and light dishes for Yan Xi.
Yan Xi glanced at the plate.
"You didn't order pumpkin today."
"There is no window."
"You saw it when you passed window number three."
Li Chen stopped using his chopsticks.
"That one is too sweet."
Yan Xi picked up the soup spoon, her tone flat.
"You didn't even try it."
Li Chen lowered his head and ate.
She was a bit aggressive today.
But he enjoyed it.
Because she's still in charge.
Yan Xi drank half a bowl of soup and suddenly said, "Lin Duo isn't hard to pursue."
Li Chen looked up.
"How so?"
"Her defense isn't aimed at Wang Qiang, it's aimed at anyone who suddenly gets close." Yan Xi picked up a piece of green vegetable. "Wang Qiang's advantage isn't his height, his strength, or his ability to help."
"What is it?"
He can't hide it.
Li Chen thought for a moment.
indeed.
Wang Qiang's affection was too obvious.
The tension was obvious, as was the joy and the disappointment.
It's hard to fool this kind of person.
Girls like Lin Duo, who lack a sense of security, are more likely to fall for this.
"But he can also easily scare people," Li Chen said.
"So we need to slow him down," Yan Xi said, "slow him down until he walks forward on his own."
Li Chen looked at her.
This sentence sounds a lot like Yan Xi's style.
She never taught Wang Qiang how to pursue someone.
She was giving Lin Duo room to take the initiative.
Li Chen suddenly asked, "Then why weren't you slower back then?"
Yan Xi looked up.
"Do you need to slow down?"
Li Chen paused.
Yan Xi pushed the bowl half an inch towards him.
"You were staring at me three times already."
"I was observing."
"Yes." Yan Xi nodded. "Me too."
Li Chen remained silent.
After finishing their meal, the two walked along the main road.
Yan Xi's hand was in his pocket, her fingertips clasped around his hand.
Li Chen walked on the outside.
When his phone vibrated, he took it out with his other hand.
Wang Qiang messaged him privately.
[Wang Qiang: Brother Chen, I've finished washing my socks. I've also brushed my shoes. And tidied my desk.]
[Wang Qiang: I still want to see her WeChat Moments.]
Li Chen relayed the message to Yan Xi.
Yan Xi only glanced at it.
"Make him memorize vocabulary words."
Li Chen almost couldn't hold back.
"Whose is he carrying?"
"Lin Duo's professional level four vocabulary," Yan Xi said. "It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand it. At least he knows what she faces every day."
Li Chen sent that message.
Wang Qiang remained silent for a full minute.
Wang Qiang: I'm going to borrow a vocabulary book.
After seeing it in the group, Zhao Zixuan sent a string of question marks.
[Zhao Zixuan: Qiangzi, are you crazy?]
Wang Qiang: Let me look into it.
Chen Mo: [Subjects began to actively enter the target knowledge field. Their relationship engagement deepened.]
[Zhao Zixuan: He used to never even memorize the vocabulary for the CET-4 (College English Test Band 4).]
Wang Qiang: [This is different.]
Li Chen looked at those four words and didn't reply.
They are different.
Memorizing vocabulary for exams is something I'm forced to do.
He chose to study vocabulary for someone he liked.
Yan Xi suddenly stopped.
Do you have class tomorrow morning?
"From nine to eleven o'clock."
"What about this afternoon?"
"null."
"Come with me to the library."
Li Chen looked at her.
"What are you doing?"
"Looking up information."
"architecture?"
Yan Xi did not answer.
She pulled her hand out of his pocket and pressed her fingertips against the inside of his wrist.
They're counting again.
Li Chen was already used to it.
But every time she pressed there, his heart would still race.
Yan Xi looked up.
Your heart rate is 86.
"If you hold me down, how can it not move quickly?"
Yan Xi withdrew her hand.
"Tomorrow at 2 PM. Don't be late."
"it is good."
She walked towards the girls' dormitory, and Li Chen escorted her downstairs.
Under the streetlight, Yan Xi stopped and turned to look at him.
"Wang Qiang will disappear for half a day tomorrow. Remember that."
"Remember."
"If he can't resist, he'll confiscate the phone."
"Um."
"the same as you."
Li Chen was taken aback.
"What's wrong with me?"
Yan Xi raised her hand and pointed to his pocket.
"Don't stay up late tonight looking at your chat history."
Li Chen remained silent.
How does she even know this?
Yan Xi took a step closer and tucked the scarf down for him.
"You watched it for twenty-three minutes yesterday."
Li Chen lowered his head.
"Where did the data come from?"
You checked my WeChat Moments at 1:03 AM.
Li Chen paused for a moment.
How did you know?
Access history.
Li Chen remembered that Yan Xi had an old post on her WeChat Moments that required clicking to read the full text.
He did indeed click on it and look at it last night.
Yan Xi looked at him.
"What are you looking at?"
Li Chen told the truth.
"Look at that photo of the architectural model you took in your freshman year."
Why?
"I want to see it."
Yan Xi didn't say anything.
She reached out and hooked the end of his scarf, giving it a gentle tug.
Li Chen lowered his head accordingly.
She tiptoed and touched his chin.
It's very light.
Less than a second.
"We don't need to watch the old stuff tonight," Yan Xi said. "We'll watch the new stuff tomorrow."
Li Chen stood there, his hand still clenched in his pocket.
Yan Xi turned and went into the building.
She turned back before entering the room.
"We'll collect Wang Qiang's phone at 9:30. We'll collect yours at 11:00."
Li Chen nodded.
"Know."
After she went upstairs, Li Chen slowly walked towards his dormitory.
My phone kept vibrating the whole time.
Wang Qiang posted a photo in the group chat.
A thick vocabulary book sat on the table.
Next to it were clean socks and brushed shoes.
[Wang Qiang: I've started memorizing.]
Zhao Zixuan: [Are you really unlucky?]
Wang Qiang: [Hmm.]
Chen Mo: [Record - Wang Qiang actively studies foreign language-related content; game time reset to zero.]
Li Chen looked at the words "Game time reset to zero" and suddenly felt like laughing.
He pushed open the door to room 302.
Wang Qiang sat at the table, flipping to the first page of his vocabulary book, his expression like he was gnawing on a brick.
"Brother Chen," Wang Qiang looked up, "how do you read these phonetic symbols?"
Li Chen has not yet answered.
Wang Qiang's phone lit up.
Lin Duo sent a message.
Are you going to eat on the second floor again tomorrow at noon?
Wang Qiang froze.
Li Chen stood at the door, his hand still on the doorknob.
Yan Xi's message popped up at the same second.
Don't let him go.
