EBE Chapter 25: Lie to him, he doesn't believe a word
Chapter 25: Lie to him, he doesn't believe a word
Cheng Du didn't even notice the hidden button on the jade pendant.
He looked at Si Xue in surprise.
"Where did you lose your jade pendant?" Cheng Du needed to confirm again.
Si Xue clearly felt that Cheng Du's attitude towards her was gentler than before, and his words were even softer.
"I'm sorry, I can't say that."
Si Xue said half and hid the other half. Some things don't need to be said too clearly, which makes them more convincing.
What's more, she only knew that it was Zhou Zhizhi who saved Cheng Du and that half of the jade pendant was lost, and she didn't know anything else.
But the information she told Cheng Du was enough.
Cheng Du looked Si Xue up and down, unable to connect her with the woman from that night.
And the sound doesn't sound the same either.
"Brother, can you return the jade pendant to me?" Cheng Du was close to Zhou Zhizhi, and she was worried that if Zhou Zhizhi knew that the jade pendant was on Cheng Du, all her plans would fail.
Cheng Du opened half of it and was ready to return her half to her, but Si Xue wanted two jade pendants.
"Brother, these two jade pendants are one piece."
She specifically asked for the jade pendant back.
Cheng Du looked at the jade pendant in his hand, paused for a moment, and then returned it to her.
Seeing Cheng Du's actions, Si Xue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Who is Cheng Du? He is a hot-tempered young man who is feared by everyone in Liangcheng, and he is unlikely to listen to others.
The fact that he was willing to return the jade talisman to him showed that he believed her words.
"Brother, if you like, I can tear it apart and give you the other half."
Si Xue thought about it and gave him her half of the jade pendant. Even if Zhou Zhizhi found out, he would not suspect that the jade pendant was dropped by Zhou Zhizhi. He would only think that she gave it to Cheng Du.
Just enough to assert sovereignty.
"Need not."
Cheng Du refused.
He paused, "I heard from others that you amazed everyone in today's piano competition and secured the championship in advance?"
Ever since she entered the Cheng family, Cheng Du had never been friendly to her. This was the first time he cared so much about her affairs.
Si Xue was a little flattered. "Well, but there are still some shortcomings. Teacher Chen gave me a relatively low score, which caused some controversy, so the results of the competition will be announced later."
She was modest and low-key, but Cheng Du could still hear the annoying arrogance in her words.
"Ah."
Cheng Du responded coldly and wanted to turn around and leave, but after a pause, he added, "Very good."
Si Xue's face turned red.
The man who was so noble in his previous life actually praised her.
She was so excited that she couldn't express it in words.
"Brother, this is the first time you have praised me."
Si Xue said to Cheng Du sincerely.
Cheng Du: "..."
Did I praise her?
Cheng Du felt that he was not praising.
Not wanting to explain any more, Cheng Du asked her to rest early and turned to leave.
The moment he turned around, his eyes changed instantly, becoming cold and indifferent.
He only believed half a word of Si Xue's lies.
He didn't believe a word that had nothing to do with her.
He didn't see the woman's face, but he had heard her voice and would not be deceived by Si Xue.
Since the jade pendant is on Si Xue, he wants to see how she will deal with it.
If you can't find any clues from Qiangwei, then look in another direction and you will always find it.
-
"Congratulations in advance to our school's Cheng Sixue for winning the piano competition!"
As soon as Si Xue entered the campus, she saw the banner hung by the school.
The principal and Si Xue came out of the office and happened to pass by Class 17.
Si Xue looked towards Class 17.
Some are sleeping, some are playing with their phones.
Some people were fighting.
The principal took one look and shook his head, "These kids are hopeless. You can't learn from them. You are a role model for the school."
"Everyone has his or her own strengths. Even if they are not good at studying, they will have their own shining points in other aspects."
Si Xue did not agree with the principal's words, but spoke for them instead.
"Yes, you are a kind and open-minded child."
Many geniuses have some annoying arrogance, but Si Xue doesn't have that.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that she was born in Hongxing Village, which makes her more empathetic.
Only such people will be of greater use to the country in the future and will not go astray.
The principal was even more satisfied with Si Xue. "By the way, will your participation in the school's math competition interfere with your piano competition?"
"The results of the piano competition will be announced next week, and it will not affect my participation in the math competition."
Si Xue wants to take back everything she lost.
Mathematical competitions, that's her comfort zone.
She already knew the answers to the competition by heart.
She was unwilling to accept losing to Zhou Zhizhi before, and she would definitely lose again this time.
In Class 17, a boy sitting in the last row was sleeping on the table. He suddenly woke up and raised his head.
His nose moved and he looked over to smell the scent.
Saw Si Xue.
The jade talisman in his trouser pocket vibrated.
He lay on the ground looking for his glasses and finally found them in the desk box.
He exhaled, used the mist to wipe his glasses clean, and put them on his nose.
His vision cleared, and he pulled out the jade talisman from his trouser pocket.
The jade talisman is vibrating.
Twin jade, Yin Yang Bagua diagram.
The waist badge of the Xuanmen Talisman Master is also the symbol of the Xuanmen Talisman Master.
When encountering other waist badges, the jade talisman will resonate and vibrate.
Top student in the class, Cheng Sixue.
Is she the disciple that the master accepted when he went down the mountain?
The boy did not continue to sleep on the table. Instead, he got up and left Class 17.
Zhou Zhizhi carried her schoolbag and walked from the top class to class seventeen.
I studied too long in the morning and forgot about the school time.
"Zhou Zhizhi."
The principal called her and asked, "Why are you late?"
Si Xue saw Zhou Zhizhi and smiled at her, "Zhizhi."
Zhou Zhizhi took out a pen and wrote on the paper: I was so engrossed in studying that I forgot about the time.
Then he handed it to the principal.
The principal knew Zhou Zhizhi. There were two people who needed special attention, one was the mute Zhou Zhizhi from Class 17, and the other was the genius Cheng Sixue from the top class.
Because they also come from Red Star Village.
The principal glanced at him calmly and said, "If you are born with a deficiency, you must make up for it later. It's always right to be more diligent, but remember to pay attention to the school time next time."
Zhou Zhizhi nodded.
The principal asked her to go.
Si Xue couldn't expect that the principal would let Zhou Zhizhi leave so easily.
"She is also from Red Star Village. How much do you know about her?" the principal asked Si Xue.
Si Xue smiled politely, "We have a pretty good relationship. When I was in Red Star Village, she gave me all my study materials. She usually took the books given to her by others home for burning fuel. I read them but felt sorry for them so I borrowed them. We became familiar with each other after a few visits."
Hongxing Village is located deep in the mountains and forests, and the environment is very harsh. When someone donated books there, others would treasure them very much, but Zhou Zhizhi used them to burn for firewood.
Rotten wood cannot be carved.
The principal sighed, "People are different. You are more aware than her."
Even in a harsh environment, I still did not give up the opportunity to learn.
The road in Hongxing Village was built thanks to Fu Xi's investment.
Otherwise, the road to Hongxing Village still needs to be walked along the halfway point of the mountain. It is steep, narrow and very dangerous.
Many people died on that road.
The Cheng family built the road in Hongxing Village, which was also a great achievement.
What's more, he adopted such an outstanding genius like Si Xue.
Sure enough, outstanding people can still shine no matter where they go, and Si Xue is an example.
"She is actually a very pitiful person. She was forced to marry a 70-year-old man in Hongxing Village. How could she have the heart to study? Now she has the opportunity to enter Liangcheng No. 1 High School, which is not easy."
Si Xue mentioned Zhou Zhizhi, her eyes full of pity, "I hope she can catch up with her studies soon."
The principal sighed, "It's difficult."
It is difficult for students who have no talent and are not diligent enough to catch up with the learning gap of more than ten years.
too difficult.
