Chapter 235 Let's put on a show first!

They sat in roughly the same spot as yesterday.

Li Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Take the first step steadily.

Then something happened.

A girl next to Lin Duo suddenly stood up with a bowl of soup and walked towards Wang Qiang's table.

Zhao Zixuan almost stood up.

Li Chen grabbed him and pressed him down.

"Don't move."

The girl stopped next to Wang Qiang's table and said something.

Li Chen couldn't hear clearly.

Wang Qiang looked up and was clearly taken aback.

Zhao Zixuan lowered his voice: "Is she interrogating him?"

Chen Mo stared intently. "Wang Qiang's hand movements were stiff, but he didn't retreat."

Li Chen saw Wang Qiang push his tissue pack forward.

The girl took the tissue and said something else.

Wang Qiang nodded.

The girl didn't leave.

She glanced down at the vocabulary book peeking out of Wang Qiang's bag.

Wang Qiang froze.

Li Chen's heart tightened as well.

Is this what Yan Xi was talking about?

The next second, the girl reached out and pulled out half of the vocabulary book.

Zhao Zixuan gritted his teeth. "Isn't this a bit too much?"

Li Chen didn't move.

He saw Lin Duo look up, her expression a little nervous.

If Wang Qiang gets flustered at this point and tries to explain too much, he'll be in trouble.

He has to take it himself.

Wang Qiang blushed deeply.

But he didn't snatch the book.

He scratched his head and said something.

The girl was stunned for a moment.

Then he laughed.

Lin Duo also lowered her head and smiled.

Li Chen's phone vibrated.

Yan Xi: [Ask him what he just said.]

Li Chen lowered his head and sent a message to Wang Qiang.

Wang Qiang took more than ten seconds to reply.

She asked me why I was carrying this.

I said I didn't understand, but I'll pretend I don't.

When Li Chen saw "pretend for a moment," he almost burst out laughing.

Zhao Zixuan leaned over to look, his shoulders shaking with laughter. "Qiangzi's got a knack for it today."

Chen Mo nodded. "Self-deprecation reduces the threat level; it's very effective."

Li Chen sent the screenshot to Yan Xi.

Yan Xi replied with a single word.

【Pass.】

Li Chen looked at the word and completely relaxed.

Wang Qiang lived by himself.

It wasn't something they forced to say.

The girl returned the vocabulary book to Wang Qiang, said a few more words, and then went back.

Lin Duo glanced at Wang Qiang, unable to suppress the urge to smile.

Wang Qiang lowered his head and ate his food.

This time he was really eating.

No longer standing so stiffly like I was being punished, like yesterday.

Halfway through the meal, Lin Duo took the initiative to ask him a question.

Wang Qiang's answer was very brief.

The girl chimed in again.

Wang Qiang scratched his head and made a self-deprecating joke again.

The atmosphere visibly relaxed.

Zhao Zixuan lowered his voice: "Why do I feel like her roommate doesn't mean any harm?"

Li Chen: "We were never enemies to begin with."

Chen Mo: "The assessment has been changed to acceptance observation."

Zhao Zixuan: "Could you please stop sounding like an inspection report?"

Li Chen didn't reply.

He was looking at Wang Qiang.

In the past, when Wang Qiang was teased, his first reaction was always to be stubborn.

Not today.

He admitted that he couldn't understand the words, admitted that he was nervous, and admitted that he was learning.

Instead, things stabilized.

Yan Xi's statement, "He can't hide it," was right once again.

If you can't hide it, then don't hide it.

Just keep to the proper boundaries, that's enough.

After finishing her meal, Lin Duo picked up her plate.

This time she wasn't just passing by.

She stopped at Wang Qiang's table.

Are you going to the library again this afternoon?

Wang Qiang looked up.

He didn't say he was going right away.

He asked first, "Do you want to borrow a book?"

Lin Duo shook her head. "I'm going to memorize vocabulary."

Wang Qiang's lips moved slightly.

Even from two tables away, Li Chen could guess that he wanted to say, "I'll go too."

But Wang Qiang held back.

He said, "I have class this afternoon, I might go later."

Lin Duo nodded. "Then you go ahead with your work."

she left.

Wang Qiang remained seated.

Zhao Zixuan couldn't resist this time and got up to pat him on the shoulder.

"Sure, Qiangzi."

Wang Qiang slowly turned his head. "I almost said I didn't have class."

Li Chen: "Don't you have class?"

Wang Qiang: "It's an elective course, you can skip it."

Li Chen: "No."

Wang Qiang nodded. "I know."

He picked up the plate, still looking a little dazed.

She said she was going to memorize vocabulary words.

Zhao Zixuan: "And then?"

Wang Qiang looked down at the vocabulary book in his bag.

"I have to carry it too."

Zhao Zixuan: "..."

Chen Mo: "Synchronous learning motivation is enhanced."

Li Chen's phone vibrated.

Yan Xi: [Don't let him skip class this afternoon.]

Li Chen replied: [It's already under control.]

Yan Xi: [And you? Version 3.]

Li Chen glanced at the time.

[Will I show it to you at noon?]

Yan Xi: [I'm in room 208.]

Li Chen was taken aback.

208.

The kitchen in the building next door.

Why did she go there?

The next message has arrived.

Bring your laptop. Bring yourself.

Li Chen put away his phone and stood up.

Zhao Zixuan asked, "Where are you going?"

Li Chen carried his backpack. "Hand in your homework."

Wang Qiang immediately looked up. "Is your sister-in-law here?"

"Um."

Wang Qiang handed over his vocabulary book. "Could you ask me if I should go to the library this afternoon?"

Li Chen glanced at him.

Wang Qiang put the book back.

"Never mind, I'll figure it out myself."

Li Chen nodded.

That's right.

As he walked out of the cafeteria, Yan Xi sent him another photo.

On the control panel of 208, there were two aprons.

There was also a bag of chicken wings.

Li Chen stopped in his tracks.

Yan Xi sent a message.

Tonight I'll teach you how to make cola chicken wings. Wang Qiang can't eat them.

When Li Chen arrived at room 208, the door was unlocked.

He pushed the door open and the first thing he saw was Yan Xi standing in front of the control panel.

The apron is already tied.

She wasn't looking at him; she was holding a red pen and revising his third draft.

The chicken wings were placed aside.

The computer is placed on the other side.

This scene is a bit outrageous.

It's like a project presentation and a home-cooked kitchen were crammed together.

Li Chen closed the door. "Didn't you say you'd teach me how to do it?"

Yan Xi didn't even look up. "Change it first."

Li Chen put down the computer.

What to do with the chicken wings?

"Pickle it."

Li Chen looked down.

The chicken wings have been prepared, with slits made on the surface, and the seasonings have been mixed in.

He understood instantly.

She said she would teach him how to do it, but in fact she had already done all the preliminary work.

We're just waiting for him to take charge of the cooking.

Li Chen felt a little soft-hearted, and also wanted to laugh.

Yan Xi pushed the third version to him.

"Better than last night."

Li Chen looked at the number of red tags; it was half less than last night.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Yan Xi added, "But the abstract won't do."

Li Chen's initial relief vanished.

"What's wrong?"

"You're too kind."

Li Chen sat down and made changes.

Yan Xi stood next to him, watching him delete two cliché lines.

She suddenly reached out and folded his cuffs up a bit.

Li Chen stopped.

"It will get the seasoning on it," she said.

Li Chen looked at her.

Yan Xi had already stopped, acting as if nothing had happened.

He lowered his head and continued typing.

That's just how this person is.

One second they were criticizing his first draft mercilessly.

The next second, you might notice if his cuffs are dirty.

Li Chen rewrote the abstract.

This time he did not write "with the development of information technology".

Yan Xi hates this kind of opening the most.

He wrote down the questions directly.

Changes in students' learning status are often reflected in continuous behavioral details, which are difficult to reflect in a single grade or attendance record.

Yan Xi glanced at it for two seconds. "Stay."

Li Chen's fingers immediately steadied.

After revising until 1:40, the summary was finally approved.

Yan Xi closed the red pen. "Cook."

Li Chen got up and washed his hands.

He had just picked up the apron when Yan Xi came over.

"That's outrageous."

Li Chen lowered his head.

That's definitely the opposite.

He didn't even notice it himself.

Yan Xi took the apron from his hand and went behind him to tie it for him.

The belt went through his waist, and her fingers touched him through his clothes.

Li Chen's Adam's apple bobbed.

Yan Xi said slowly, "My heart rate has increased again."

Li Chen: "Could you please not do this test while you're wearing an apron?"

Yan Xi: "I didn't take the test."

Li Chen: "How did you know?"

Yan Xi tied the knot and said in a flat tone, "Your ears are red."
