The sudden loud voice scared Tan Zijin. She subconsciously looked up at Xu Anruo and whispered:

"Yes, she is my deskmate. She is not that..."

"Deskmate? Then she is still a loser!"

"No, no, she is also a girl. Can you not say those two words?"

"Ah? Girl? Sorry, sorry."

Xu Anruo scratched her head, a little embarrassed.

But then, he still held on and asked:

"What about boys?"

"I don't talk to boys."

"Hey, that's right... No, no, what I mean is that they are too thin-skinned, unlike me, I am so honest, I just think you are very beautiful, really!"

Xu Anruo laughed, but the tone of the second half of the sentence was very serious.

But after saying it, I always felt that something was wrong?

But looking at this, it seems that no other boy has said such words in front of Tan Zijin.

Her face obviously turned red again, and she was very embarrassed. She shook her head and said:

"No, no, I'm not good-looking."

Suddenly, as if she remembered something, her hand that had been clenched into a small fist on the table shrank back in panic and placed it under the table.

Xu Anruo was stunned.

Then, he said in a gentle tone:

"You are just too thin. Also, you can grow your hair long."

"But long hair needs to be taken care of, it will be very troublesome."

Tan Zijin responded in a low voice.

Xu Anruo was speechless for a moment.

He knew that Tan Zijin was not a person who was afraid of trouble.

It's just that before, she had to study well, take care of her sister and grandmother, and help with farm work at home... She took on too much.

After a while, Xu Anruo's tone became more gentle, and he said:

"That was in the past. Remember what I said to you before? You can also make money by studying. Look at this time..."

Xu Anruo was referring to the 55,000.

Tan Zijin nodded in response.

Then, Xu Anruo said:

"Girls should be pretty, not to mention that you have such beautiful facial features, right?"

"Yeah."

Tan Zijin nodded vigorously.

Xu Anruo stopped talking and said no more.

He was afraid that if he said too much or in the wrong way, it would be like imposing his personal will.

In this way, encouragement and hints made this silly boy learn to think for himself and work hard to become a better self.

Besides, long hair is so beautiful.

For a tall girl like her, with long hair down to her waist, wow, Xu Anruo dare not even think about it!

At this time, two bowls of noodles were served.

Tan Zijin subconsciously wanted to take the bowl of plain noodles, but Xu Anruo snatched it away and pushed the one with beef in front of her.

Xu Anruo did not allow for argument and said:

"You are too thin, plain noodles are not nutritious!"

"But..."

"No buts, listen to me."

Xu Anruo picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

Now there was no way for Tan Zijin to change again.

But after Xu Anruo took two bites, he found that Tan Zijin lowered his head and still did not move his chopsticks.

He frowned and asked:

"Why don't you eat?"

"Here, I'll give you some."

Tan Zijin whispered.

Then she quickly used chopsticks to pick up most of the beef in the bowl and put it in Xu Anruo's bowl.

After doing this, she pulled her own bowl closer, leaned over and lowered her head to protect it, fearing that Xu Anruo would return it again.

At that moment.

Xu Anruo was just stunned.

It would be fine if she insisted on not eating or insisted on changing back.

But she gave half to Xu Anruo...

"Heh!"

Xu Anruo suddenly laughed.

He shook his head, and then found that Tan Zijin secretly raised his face and looked at him carefully, so he snorted:

"What are you looking at? Eat!"

"Yes, I'm eating."

"This noodles are not as delicious as the dishes you cook."

"Ah?"

"What?"

"No, nothing."

...

It was just after twelve o'clock after dinner.

But it was sunny again today, and the temperature was thirty-six or thirty-seven.

Let's go for a walk, it's too hot.

Let's have fun, there's nothing in the small county, and it's easy to run into acquaintances.

This is what Xu Anruo fears the most.

Before, it was Cheng Xuanyu, then You Ya, and now there's Tan Zijin.

If he is caught alive again, who knows how he will go to his mother to make up stories!

Actually, Xu Anruo wanted to buy some clothes for Tan Zijin, but she couldn't ask for it because she would definitely not accept it.

Let her buy it herself, and all the money in her pocket will be returned to her.

So she had to give up.

The two stood blankly under the sycamore tree on the street and looked at each other in silence for a while.

During this period, I really helped her a lot, and she was grateful.But this silly and stupid person is not good at expressing himself. In the words of later generations, he seems to have a little social phobia.

So the current situation will be a bit stressful for Tan Zijin.

There is no way, Xu Anruo can only say to her:

"The weather is so hot, there is nothing to do in the county, I won't waste your time, let's go, I'll take you to the North Station."

"Yeah."

Tan Zijin responded in a low voice.

She seemed to be secretly relieved.

But her emotions soon revealed a trace of reluctance, and she responded with her mouth, but her feet did not move.

"I'll call you a taxi."

Xu Anruo said and walked towards the road.

Tan Zijin quickly shook her head and said:

"No, I, I'll walk over, it's not far away."

"I don't want to walk."

Xu Anruo didn't listen to her.

But then, he remembered something, and walked back and asked:

"Tan Zijin, can you speak Mandarin?"

"I, I don't know if I can."

Tan Zijin's voice was mixed with some doubts.

This question sounds quite strange at first.

The reason why Xu Anruo asked this is because the dialect in Lu Nan has a strong accent, and speaking Mandarin also has a strong accent. Many people have not been able to change it for decades.

"Try to say a few words for me to hear?"

Xu Anruo changed his words and asked in Mandarin.

He studied literature and was reborn, so his Mandarin is very standard and natural.

But this sudden change of accent made Tan Zijin a little at a loss. She blushed and seemed very uncomfortable. She finally opened her mouth and said:

"Is this okay?"

"Say something else."

"You don't need to take a taxi. I, I can walk over."

Hearing this, Xu Anruo nodded and said:

"It's good. There is a little accent, but it's not heavy. There is still some time before school starts. You can go back and practice. Just practice in front of the TV and pronounce the sound accurately."

After saying that, she was afraid that Tan Zijin would not understand, so she explained again:

"You have to speak Mandarin when you go to Jiangda. If you can avoid having an accent, don't have it. Otherwise, it will be a bit strange, and there are always some people with bad brains who like to make fun of this!"

In fact, it's not a big deal, but Xu Anruo is afraid that this tiny negative feedback will cause some unnecessary inner pain to Tan Zijin, who is already withdrawn and evasive.

Xu Anruo speaks seriously, and Tan Zijin will listen seriously.

She nodded and replied seriously:

"I remember it."
