Chapter 77: Embarrassing Again
Although Xue Wenshu has a gentle name, he actually looks quite unrestrained.
Li Chengqi remembers that he was already 185 when he was a freshman in high school. Now it has jumped up even more, maybe almost 190. It's not obvious at ordinary times, but when he goes out to play basketball with his classmates, it's obvious that he is half a head taller than the others.
His body standing on the street will indeed give people the intimidating effect of a dark cloud, and it feels like he is not someone to be trifled with.
But Li Chengqi then thought about it and couldn't just look at the appearance without looking at the inside.
Although saying this is a bit of a choreography for Xue Wenshu, based on Li Chengqi's understanding of him, this kid is just a tall and strong fool...
"It's a hot day and the air conditioner in my room is broken. Brother Li, you are the one who keeps me cool."
Xue Wenshu didn't notice anything was wrong in the convenience store. He took a Coke from the refrigerator at the door, mumbling as he was about to scan the QR code at the cashier.
Then he saw Lei Lei standing in front of the cashier.
The happiness on his face disappeared instantly.
"You... um, classmate Lei Lei, why are you here?"
"My home is nearby, come and buy some things."
"Oh, my home is also nearby, just next door. Um...what, it's good that you don't go to cram school recently, right?"
Li Chengqi, who was behind the cashier, covered his face when he heard this. The conversation was so embarrassing that he was picking his feet.
He knew that what Xue Wenshu wanted to say was that the cram school was closed. We haven't seen him for a while. How are you recently?
As a result, I omitted part of it because I was too nervous.
This is considered a bad habit of Xue Wenshu.
This nervousness is understandable. It was the first time in his life that Xue Wenshu had a crush on the opposite sex of the same age. However, this goodwill was extinguished before it even sprouted. Although it could only be regarded as self-indulgent, it was enough to cause a critical blow to the young boy who was just beginning to have a romantic interest.
After two days of respite, he felt like he didn't care anymore and thought it was because of his excellent mental quality.
In fact, it was just that Lei Lei had already connected with Li Chengqi and released the spell that affected Xue Wenshu.
But the influence of spells is one thing. It's not that easy to forget.
That's why Xue Wenshu reacted like this when he saw Lei Lei in the store.
Lei Lei was the only one present who knew it well, and she was also the calmest in reacting:
"Fortunately, I just moved and the neighbors are very welcoming."
"That's good……"
Xue Wenshu quickly scanned the code with her mobile phone:
"I have to go back to do my homework. If you need anything, come to me anytime."
It looked like she couldn't stand it anymore, and she wanted to run away without waiting for Lei Lei's response.
And at this unlucky moment, Aldai walked out of the shelf holding a bag of snacks:
"magic……"
She just said the magic word, and when she saw Xue Wenshu and Lei Lei were there, she immediately changed her words:
"Mo... Is the konjac shredded delicious? Brother Li."
As expected of a mage who has to learn everything, look at his adaptability.
When Xue Wenshu, who was in a hurry to go home, saw Aldai, he immediately stopped and returned, turning to ask Li Chengqi:
"Who is this? Brother Li, your acquaintance?"
Li Chengqi had no choice but to say what he had thought of for a long time:
"This is a cousin of mine who is coming to stay with me for a few days."
Xue Wenshu was not in a hurry to leave now and hurried over:
"Hello, hello, my name is Xue Wenshu. What's your name?"
"Aldai."
"Are you a foreigner? But you speak Chinese very well. Are you of mixed race? Why is your hair blue? I don't mean to be discriminatory, I just think it's very novel. Where did you dye it? Are you playing? cosplay?”
When Aldai heard Xue Wenshu's words, her eyes seemed to reveal doubts, as if she was asking, who is this familiar guy? Which unit?
Lei Lei whispered to Li Chengqi:
"You see, this is why I don't ask for help from my peers."
"Well...it's really convincing."
From being embarrassed and picking at his feet, to now rushing forward to do something, Xue Wenshu switched almost seamlessly.
One thing to say, this psychological quality is indeed good.
"Where do you go to school? Are you in high school? If you are in No. 3 Middle School, you can always come to me if you need anything."
Although Aldai didn't understand what Xue Wenshu meant by high school, she figured it should be some kind of school.
Coincidentally, Alday's main job is also in school, but she is a professor instead of a student.
Because she was relatively young, she had had misunderstandings when she was in school, and she immediately understood her current situation.
"I'm 23."
Aldai interrupted Xue Wenshu's long speech, and when he was stunned, she repeated:
"I'm 23."
“…..”
Xue Wenshu looked back at Li Chengqi with an expression of "Am I embarrassed again?" and saw him nodding.
"I, I'd better go back and do my homework..."
It was so miserable, so miserable that even Li Chengqi was embarrassed to laugh at it.
Seeing Xue Wenshu running out of the convenience store with a Coke as if running for his life, he probably had to stand on his head on the bed in embarrassment when he got home.
"I'll buy some snacks and go back to do my homework. It's time for school to start."
When Lei Lei saw Xue Wenshu leaving, she also ran to get two bags of potato chips.
"Wait, I have something to ask you."
Li Chengqi quickly stopped Lei Lei who was about to leave after paying the bill:
"Qian Sen said you are a cultivator..."
"It's a monk."
"Yes, monk. Do you think I can practice it? Can you teach me?"
Who hasn’t dreamed of being a fairy yet?
"I can teach you the basics, but you are too old, and your bones have already been formed."
"I am in good health."
"It has nothing to do with health. Think about it, martial arts practitioners have to practice the basics from a young age. No matter how hard they try, their body flexibility will not be able to keep up."
It seems to be true.
"Uh...I can't learn it?"
"It's not that I can't learn it, but it's useless. You can't get started even if you practice for a lifetime. The only benefit is to strengthen your body, but it's not as effective as you going out more often."
"....."
Although Lei Lei tried many ways to get close to Li Chengxi, she really didn't talk nonsense this time.
The training of cultivators starts at the age of six or seven, not earlier or later, and they have to cooperate with various elixirs during the foundation-laying period.
If you want to cultivate immortality with a formula, you might as well lie down. Anyway, there is everything in dreams.
Lei Lei pursed her lips at Aoerdai who was approaching:
"If you really want to learn, you can try to learn magic, there is no age limit."
Speaking of this, that is Aoerdai's specialty.
"Adults' learning ability is not as good as that of children. They will spend a lot of time on the basics. It will probably take more than ten or twenty years to be considered a novice wizard."
Hearing Aoerdai say this, Lei Lei was also a little surprised:
"I thought magic should be like in the movies, just chant a few spells and wave a wand."
Although Aoerdai didn't know what the movie was, he still explained:
"It is indeed so simple to show, but before that, you must have a very large foundation, otherwise it is just pure nonsense."
Learning for more than ten or twenty years, not to mention that Li Chengxi would be over 40 by then, whether he could maintain his enthusiasm and perseverance for such a long time is a question.
"So, I can only watch completely?"
In fact, Lei Lei concealed something. For example, the overly rich spiritual energy around Li Chengxi made her suspect that Li Chengxi was a land god in human form. Although he could not practice to become stronger like a monk, he could use many abilities of gods.
However, Lei Lei is still waiting and watching the matter, and does not plan to tell him now.
