Rebirth of the Rich Second Generation's Growth Diary

Chapter 66: Huh? My phone!

After finishing the final exam, Li Xu was naturally in a very good mood.

He doesn't have a clear plan for how to spend the upcoming winter vacation. He will definitely take a rest, but what's more important is to improve his grades as soon as possible.

Next came the busy cleaning, putting the messy seats back in their original places. The whole building was busy, and the cleaning in a classroom in the second year of high school was also in full swing.

"Zhiqing, why haven't I seen that rich second-generation kid recently?"

The girl named Zhao Shiyao poked Xu Zhiqing who was cleaning.

Xu Zhiqing frowned and sighed: "Don't mention him in front of me."

"What's wrong with you? Did you have a fight?"

"Arguing? Does he deserve it? He's just a probationary period..."

"Did he pass the test?"

Xu Zhiqing stared blankly ahead, her broom unconsciously sweeping the garbage on the ground without picking it up. She shook her head and said, "No, he gave up."

"That's a shame... I heard their family is very rich."

Xu Zhiqing frowned and snorted, "Am I the kind of girl who only cares about money? I asked him to buy things for me, not because of his money, but to see if he really likes me. His family is so rich, but he doesn't even want to spend that little on me, haha."

"Ah, yes, yes, that's not what I meant. I'm not saying you care about money. What I meant is..." Zhao Shiyao said, "From this point of view, Li Xu is still pretty good... At least, his family is not that kind of questionable people."

Xu Zhiqing sighed, hesitated for a moment, put down the broom, and pulled Zhao Shiyao to the side corner. After sorting out her thoughts, she spoke solemnly: "Shiyao, analyze this for me..."

"Ok?"

"Didn't he say he was dropping out of school? Then he went straight to the countryside. For a week after he left, he would message me every day. But after a week, he suddenly stopped contacting me. What do you think might be the reason?"

"This...it's hard to say."

"Is he in love with another girl?"

Zhao Shiyao nodded thoughtfully, "It's possible."

Then the two girls said in unison, filled with righteous indignation: "Scumbag."

Despite complaining, Zhao Shiyao began to analyze the situation seriously: "But that's not necessarily the case. I don't think there would be girls in the countryside who could instantly make his heart flutter. Those country bumpkins...how could they possibly be compared to you?"

"I thought so too, so what else is possible?"

"Um...can you show me your chat history?"

Xu Zhiqing thought about it, then took out her phone. Suddenly, she blinked and shook her head: "No, he has deleted me and put me on the blacklist."

"Uh...he deleted you? But I should still be able to see the chat history..."

"No, he deleted it on my phone..." Xu Zhiqing then told Zhao Shiyao what happened in physical education class that day, and then asked, "Does this attitude mean he's really given up?"

Zhao Shiyao thought about it, and a confident expression appeared on her face: "I understand!"

Xu Zhiqing showed a puzzled look: "What do you understand?"

Zhao Shiyao smiled and said, "It's a tactic of playing hard to get... Listen to me, he must be thinking this way... Then what about us? Let's do this..."

……

"Li Xu!" Chen Feiyang skipped to the door of Li Xu's classroom and shouted inside.

Li Xu raised his head and glanced at Chen Feiyang outside and smiled: "Yeah."

Chen Feiyang came in and hugged Li Xu excitedly, making Li Xu look a little confused. He held his head down helplessly and then separated them. "What's wrong?"

"I compared answers with a few high-achieving students on this exam, and I was able to get 70 or 80 points in math!"

"congratulations……"

"I asked a few other losers, and it seems that their math scores are only in the single digits. Everyone's other subjects are about the same. I'm sure I can do better than them and will definitely stay in Class 2."

"Ah."

“Brother, it’s all thanks to you!”

"That's not the case. You have to rely on yourself!" Li Xu patted Chen Feiyang's shoulder earnestly.

Chen Feiyang looked a bit dazed, as if Li Xu was speaking like his father. "Anyway, let's not talk about anything else. I'll treat you to a nice dinner in a couple of days..." Chen Feiyang dismissed the strange thought of Li Xu being his father, but then he looked a little shy. "It has to be in a couple of days, I'm a little short of money these days..."

Li Xu asked, "What's the matter?"

"Um...I accidentally broke the screen of the all-in-one computer in the classroom."

No. 9 Middle School has excellent hardware conditions, and each classroom is equipped with an all-in-one computer. It is the first school in Jinchuan City to universally use all-in-one computer teaching resources.

Li Xu blinked and let out a light click of his tongue. That thing would probably cost twenty or thirty thousand yuan. Compared to himself, Chen Feiyang's family conditions were actually relatively poorer. His pocket money was always in the four figures. He usually spent money lavishly. It was not easy for him to take out twenty or thirty thousand yuan in one go.

Chen Feiyang sighed slowly. "The repair costs are over 8000 yuan. I sold a few of my valuables... including the iPhone 4 I bought last week. Wow..."

Chen Feiyang was so moved that he sighed deeply, revealing a look of pain. At this moment, the monitor of Class 2 and a classmate went to take out the trash with a basket. Seeing Chen Feiyang talking to someone, they became furious and yelled, "Chen Feiyang! We haven't finished cleaning yet, what are you doing?"

Chen Feiyang was stunned for a moment, said goodbye to Li Xu dejectedly, and went back to continue cleaning.

An Duoduo had appeared beside them at some point and said jokingly, "Li Xu, your friend is really interesting..."

"Ah."

"You are just like his father." An Duoduo said with a smile.

Li Xu touched his chin and nodded seriously: "I hid it quite well, but you still found it..."

An Duoduo's smile became even brighter, and she pulled out a basketball from behind her back like a magic trick: "It's still early after we finish sweeping the floor. Let's play a couple of games later?"

Li Xu thought about the last time he injured An Duoduo and said with a smile, "Let's talk about it later."

"I'll wait for you at the basketball court."

As soon as An Duoduo left, a familiar voice called out to Li Xu who was about to enter the classroom.

He frowned when he heard the voice, then sighed. Turning around, he saw Xu Zhiqing walking towards him with a serious face, and next to her was Zhao Shiyao.

Li Xu was not in a hurry to speak, but patiently watched the two people walk up to him.

"Li Xu, don't you have anything to say to me?" Xu Zhiqing said coldly, with her hands folded across her chest.

Li Xu's face was calm: "Didn't I make it very clear last time..."

"Okay, in that case, let's end it once and for all." Xu Zhiqing handed over a small paper box, and Li Xu only then noticed that there was something in her hand.

"The necklace, ring, and iPhone you gave me are all in here."

Seeing that Li Xu did not express his opinion after she said this, Xu Zhiqing felt much calmer... It meant that he really didn't want these things.

Then, Xu Zhiqing held the small paper box in one hand and pointed at Li Xu's phone with the other. "Now I give you two choices. Choice 1: I've removed your QQ from the blacklist. I'll give you a chance to add me again. We can reconcile and be friends again! Choice 2: Take all these things you gave me. I don't owe you anything, and we'll be no longer friends!"

This is the result of Zhao Shiyao's analysis for Xu Zhiqing.

After hearing Xu Zhiqing's description, Zhao Shiyao immediately concluded with complete confidence that Li Xu was playing hard to get. "Don't you understand the art of playing hard to get? Why did he get you confused just by using it? It's really confusing when you're in the know... He used your phone to blacklist him. What's that? He's giving you the initiative. Isn't it you who has the final say on whether to release him or not?"

"I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you've been too cold to him lately. He's feeling discouraged, so he wants to use this trick to get your attention."

"The way you put it makes me feel like I'm a little confused. So what should I do?" Xu Zhiqing asked.

"What he needs now is a stepping stone. He's a boy after all. Even though he's pursuing you, you still need to give him a little experience. So, just do as I say. Find him and tell him you've taken him off the blacklist. This will give him a way out. He'll definitely be reluctant to add you back on. And then, don't be so cold to him in the future..."

"Of course I know that." Xu Zhiqing sighed. Looking back, she realized that she was indeed too cold to him. After thinking about it, she agreed to Zhao Shiyao's method, but at the last minute, she took the initiative to add the scene of returning the phone.

It is not enough to just give him a way out, you also have to put some pressure on him. On one side, there is reconciliation, and on the other side, there is breaking off the friendship. If you give him a way out, then even a fool should know which side to choose.

Zhao Shiyao next to her didn't forget to chime in: "Li Xu, don't be so stubborn. Zhiqing has already given you a way out, so just go ahead!"

Li Xu listened to them both in silence. After confirming that the other party had nothing else to say, he raised his head with a bright smile on his face. "I'm actually a little surprised... I didn't expect that you're better than I thought."

Xu Zhiqing was stunned and didn't understand what Li Xu meant for a while. In the moment she was distracted, Li Xu had already taken the paper box.

"Then we owe each other nothing!"

Li Xu turned around and left with the paper box, leaving Xu Zhiqing and Zhao Shiyao staring at each other in confusion.

"Ah, my phone!"

After a moment, Xu Zhiqing reacted and finally couldn't help but scream.
