Chapter 42 The Frog
Chapter 42 The Frog
The four of them ate in silence, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was a bit dull and weird.
As a senior, Ye Jinxuan felt that he should shoulder the responsibility of enlivening the atmosphere, so he greeted: "I didn't expect such a coincidence, we all ordered fish. Um... do you like spicy boiled fish? The chili used in this restaurant is very special, Do you want to try it?"
"Senior, don't you think that when you eat this—" Li Na's voice stopped abruptly, and then continued after a brief pause, "Don't you think it's spicy?"
What he originally wanted to ask was—Senior, won't you feel pain there if you eat this?
Then Li Na asked himself, why did he feel that Ye Jinxuan was below?
"I almost forgot, what we ordered was extra spicy, which most people can't eat."
Ye Jinxuan's voice interrupted Li Na's thinking.
Li Na: "..."
This is probably the legendary talent, right?
Seeing that no one spoke, the atmosphere became awkward again, Ye Jinxuan found another topic: "The exam will be in two weeks, have you two started to review?"
Li Na and Ji Li both nodded.
"That's good. I think back when I first entered the university, because no one was in control, I let myself go every day. I only hugged my feet before the exam, and finally floated by the door at low altitude."
"If you don't have my notes, you will have to make up the exam." Ji Zhuo finally spoke, "Hurry up and eat fish, it won't taste good when it's cold."
"How can I be as useless as you said?" Ye Jinxuan retorted, "Aren't I eating fish?"
"All right, all right, you are the best, you ate a lot of fish."
"What's the matter with your tone?"
……
The two seniors just started bickering like no one else.
Ji Li and Li Na'an quietly ate fish head tofu stew, as if they were invisible people.
Ye Jinxuan was not as talkative as Ji Zhuo, so he gave up bickering with him and continued to chat with his juniors: "It's been more than three months since you entered college, do you have any girls you like?"
Li Na shook his head.
Ji wanted to shake his head but couldn't.
"A lot of girls like boys like Ji Li, right? Could it be that they can't even accept love letters?" Seeing that Ji Li didn't shake his head, Ye Jinxuan asked with a smile.
"He should have someone he likes." Ji Zhuo couldn't take it anymore, and only spoke in order to prevent Ye Jinxuan from continuing to commit stupidity.
"Really?" Ye Jinxuan was curious, "How do you know?"
Ji Zhuo: ...the Lord is sitting in front of you.
"I didn't expect to be spotted by senior Ji Zhuo." Ji Li took a meaningful look at Ji Zhuo.
"Who is it? Do you have a photo?" Ye Jinxuan's gossip ignited.
Li Na was also curious, and stared at Ji Li with Ye Jinxuan waiting for the answer.
Ji Li shook his head and said, "It's not the time to talk yet."
Since the person involved refused to talk, Ye Jinxuan stopped asking and started talking about other topics.

After eating, Ji Li wanted to go back to his school for class, so he proposed to leave first.
"I have something to go off-campus and go with you." Ji Zhuo said.
Ye Jinxuan and Li Na were left looking at each other.
"Is Ji Li angry?" Ye Jinxuan asked anxiously.
Li Na shook his head: "He does have classes in the afternoon."
Just as Ji Li is familiar with his class schedule, he also remembers Ji Li's class schedule clearly.
"That's good. You also have classes in the afternoon. Let's go to the teaching building."
Li Na nodded.
On the other side, after Ji Li and Ji Zhuo left the school, he couldn't help asking: "How did the senior see it?"
"That day at the top of Yuancheng Mountain, I saw the three of you. Li Na and Xi Feiyang's reactions were normal, but you are quite different." Ji Zhuo said slowly, "Your eyes are full of envy."
Ji Li: "..."
It turned out that the acting skills did not pass the test.
"Plus you are stuck with Li Na almost every day, you can understand it just by thinking about it."
Ji Li: ... Ordinary people wouldn't think about it.
He had no choice but to say: "Thank you senior for keeping the secret for me."
"You're welcome. After all, you didn't spread anything about me and Ye Jinxuan." After Ji Zhuo finished speaking, he asked again, "Why did you delay for so long without revealing the truth? Aren't you afraid that Li Na will be caught first?"
"I'm afraid, that's why I come here to stare every day." Ji Li said, "By the way, let him get used to my existence."
"You want to boil the frog in warm water." Ji Zhuo probably understood that Ji Li wanted stability.
Ji wanted to think of the frog he kept dreaming about during the summer vacation and the frog that was stuffed into the palm of his hand during the breakup meal, and said leisurely, "I'm really cooking 'frog'." He suddenly remembered another thing, and asked Ji Zhuo , "Why did you interview Li Na alone?"
"Oh, that, he bumped into me and Ye Jinxuan on the day of reporting..." Ji Zhuo continued after automatically silencing his voice, "We didn't know what kind of personality he was at the time, would he talk nonsense, and when he came to report to us Society, I want to put it in front of me and observe."
"That's why Li Na has bumped into you three times."
"Three times? It's only three times when we were outside." Ji Zhuo murmured, "So you also saw that time in the ancient town?"
Ji Li mourned for Li Na: What kind of luck is this?
—
The day before the exam week, Ji Li and Li Na reviewed together in a cafe outside the school.
They stipulated in advance that they would take a 5-minute break every half an hour of review, and these 5 minutes would be used for chatting.
The set bell rang, and Ji Li couldn't wait to chat: "What are you going to do in winter vacation?"
"..." Li Na actually didn't want to rest at all, but he had to deal with Ji Li, "I only think about the exam now, not the winter vacation."
Ji Li proposes, "How about we hang out together before New Year's Eve?"
"There will be a class reunion at that time." Li Na said uncertainly.
"Even if there is a class reunion, we can't get together." Ji Li was unhappy, "When the time comes, your liberal arts class will gather with your liberal arts class, and our science class will gather with our science class."
"Then where do you want to go?" Li Na knew that Ji Li would never give up until he reached his goal, so he might as well agree directly with less effort.
"Emmmmm..." Ji Li thought for a while, "Go skiing, I haven't skied for a long time."
Li Na: "I've never skated before, or—"
Ji Li: "Then I can just teach you!"
Li Na silently swallowed "No more".
At this moment, the bell rang again, and Li Na said indifferently, "It's review time."
Ji Li had no choice but to pick up the textbooks and courseware to read.
But his mind had already flown to the ski resort in Yuncheng, and he began to imagine the scene of himself teaching Li Na to ski.
You should be able to eat a lot of tofu.
When the bell rang again, Ji Li realized that he had spent half an hour daydreaming, while Li Na was still looking down at the courseware, as if the bell had never rang.
Ji Li didn't want to waste the 5 minutes of chatting, so he interrupted Li Na's review cruelly: "By the way, my dad will send someone to pick me up after the exam. You can take the car back with me."
"I've bought a high-speed rail ticket." Li Na refused.
Just then, Li Na's cell phone rang.
He picked it up and called out, "Mom."
Then the phone was snatched by Ji Li.
This scene seems familiar.
Li Na knew that he was not as tall as Ji Li, nor as strong as Ji Li, so he completely gave up the idea of getting the phone back, and he silently listened to Ji Li talking nonsense.
"Hello, Auntie, I'm not Nana."
"He was called away by the president just now, and he didn't have time to explain to you, so give me the phone and let me talk."
"Auntie, I'm also from Yuncheng. I don't know if you still remember that I went to Fucheng with Li Na back then."
"Auntie, you have a really good memory."
"Li Na said that he bought a high-speed rail ticket, but it's too inconvenient to take the high-speed rail with luggage, and he bought you a lot of Jiangcheng specialties, and the crowded people on the high-speed rail will definitely be crushed. I told him I said that my family will pick me up by car and let him go back in my car, but he..."
"Okay, Nana is here, I'll give him the phone."
Every time, Li Na marveled at Ji Li's ability to speak nonsense. After he got his phone back, he said "hmm" many times in desperation. After the call was over, he opened the APP and refunded the ticket.
"Are you... angry?" Ji Li craned his neck to glance at Li Na's phone screen, and felt relieved when he saw that he had refunded the ticket.
"We chatted for 10 minutes just now. Let's review for an hour and don't talk." Li Na reset the alarm clock and started reviewing again.
Ji Li rubbed his nose, forcing himself not to think about skiing during the vacation, but to focus on the textbooks, get a good grade in the test, and then go to his father's place to earn more pocket money to take Li Na out to play.

Half an hour before the dormitory building closed, Li Na and Ji Li finished today's review, packed up their things and left.
The two of them just stood up and took two steps away from their seats, when other students rushed over to grab their seats, and the other students who were a step behind shook their heads in discouragement and left sadly.
This cafe is open 24 hours. Every exam week, many students choose to come here to study overnight.
"It's getting harder and harder to find places to review." Ji Li sighed, "Fortunately, we started reviewing early, so there's no need to race against time."
"Tomorrow will officially enter the exam week, and it will only become more and more difficult to find a place to review. Today we ran from the library to the self-study classroom, and then from the self-study classroom to here, wasting too much time. Tomorrow At the beginning, we each studied in the dormitory, anyway, the time of our exams is very different, and there is not much time to review together."
"There must be a sense of ritual in reviewing, how can you review casually in the dormitory?" Ji Li retorted.
"A boy sitting on our left just now, from the time we entered the cafe to the present, his "Advanced Mathematics" has been stuck on page 138, and he has been staring at Taylor's median value theorem on that page. I watched it like this for a long time." Li Na asked, "So what's the use of this so-called 'sense of ritual'?"
"You have really nice eyes." Ji Li took the opportunity to praise Li Na.
Li Na: "..."
Is it because I have studied the "Advanced Mathematics" textbook for almost a semester to help you prepare for the transfer student exam, so that you can know what is on it when you glance at any page...
"But it's just a very rare phenomenon." Ji Li continued, "You see, this guy in the cafe is not serious."
"The girl who was sitting next to the gate just now is also reviewing advanced mathematics, but her draft paper is full of graffiti, not even a single calculation step." Li Na immediately gave another example.
Ji Li thought to himself: You still have time to see what was drawn on the girl's draft paper while we were out for a while?
Seeing that Ji Li didn't speak, Li Na started to give another example: "There's another one sitting—"
"Okay, tomorrow we will each review in the dormitory." Ji Li was defeated.
At this moment, an unknown creature jumped in front of the two of them.
It's a green frog.
After Ji Li saw it clearly, he fell directly to the ground.
Li Na thought to himself: This is probably the retribution for stealing my mobile phone.
