Chapter 44 You wouldn't happen to have a crush on her, would you?
The next morning, Li Xi stood at the entrance of the residential area, carrying a shoulder bag and wearing a baseball cap, waiting for the driving school bus.
A black electric car stopped in front of her.
The car window rolled down, revealing Gu Zhen's profile.
Today he was wearing a casual-style half-zip black sweatshirt, his slightly parted, choppy hair combed back, revealing his cold, dark eyes.
"Li Xi?" Gu Zhen poked his head out and asked Li Xi, "So early? Where are you going?"
"Go to driving school."
Li Xi bent down and asked him, "Where is Professor Gu going? Does he have class so early?"
"No, I'm going to the college to submit my resignation," Gu Zhen said. "It's been cold lately, and I want to take a break."
Li Xi didn't think that the cold weather had any direct relationship with rest, but the landlord was rich and could rest whether the weather was cold or hot.
Rich people spend 365 days a year on vacation.
But Li Xi still casually asked, "So, what kind of job are you planning to change to?"
"whatever."
The driving school's minibus has arrived.
"Goodbye, Professor Gu." Li Xi waved and boarded the minibus with her bag on her back.
Gu Zhen watched as Li Xi got into the car, walked around the carriage for a while, and finally sat down by the window on his side.
As soon as Li Xi sat down, the male college student in front of her offered her an orange...
Gu Zhen withdrew his gaze, stepped on the gas, and drove off.

After Li Xi went to the driving school to register and pay the fees, the person in charge took her to the training ground. "From now on, the four of you will share a car. Your instructor's surname is Qin, and he is the most skilled driver in our driving school."
"He used to be a transport soldier in the army."
The group that shared a car with Li Xi consisted of two men and one woman.
The girl was in her early twenties, with shoulder-length black hair tied in a wolf ponytail, and dressed in a cool, androgynous style. She seemed like a very aloof and unapproachable cool girl.
After hearing what the person in charge said, the cool girl turned around and nodded politely to Li Xi, "Hello, my name is Xie Jian."
A thank-you note?
Li Xi subconsciously asked, "Is Xie Zheng your sister?"
Upon hearing Xie Zheng's name, Xie Jian showed a look of surprise. "How did you know?"
Xie Zheng is a movie star known for both her beauty and acting skills. Ten years ago, she rose to fame with her role as the mute female lead in a spy movie.
Many people know Xie Zheng, but not many know that Xie Zheng has a younger sister named Xie Jian.
Moreover, Xie Zheng's parents divorced twenty years ago. After the divorce, Xie Zheng settled in Hong Kong with her father, while Xie Jian went back to her mother's hometown, Tung Chau City.
Therefore, Xie Jian was quite surprised when Li Xi found out about her relationship with the big star Xie Zheng. "Do you know my sister?"
Li Xi smiled bitterly to himself, thinking to himself how small the world was.
"I don't really know her, but I'm a fan of your sister's work. I happened to hear from one of her big fans online that she has a younger sister named Xie Jian."
Li Xi knew, of course, that Xie Zheng had a younger sister named Xie Jian.
Because the female celebrity who suffered from AIDS in her previous life was Xie Zheng!
Xie Zheng and Jiang Qingkong are very close friends.
At that time, Li Xi did not know Jiang Qingkong's true colors and genuinely believed that Jiang Qingkong introduced her to Xie Zheng as an assistant for her own good.
It wasn't until Xie Zheng's HIV infection was exposed, and the whistleblower was supposedly Jiang Qingkong, that Li Xi realized Jiang Qingkong had been faking it all along.
Now, she has been reborn and returned to a year ago.
At this time, Xie Zheng should not have been infected with HIV.
In fact, Li Xi never knew until his death whether Xie Zheng's AIDS was caused by her promiscuous relationships or by some other means.
She worked as Xie Zheng's assistant for a year. In her opinion, Xie Zheng was a very hardworking woman with a rather dull and simple private life.
Her HIV infection was very strange.
As Xie Zheng's assistant, Li Xi was naturally aware of Xie Jian's existence.
According to Xie Zheng, she was 14 years old when her parents divorced, and her younger sister Xie Jian was only 4 years old.
My younger sister was incredibly beautiful when she was little, even prettier than me, but for some reason, her personality changed drastically as she grew up.
She doesn't like wearing skirts, doesn't like wearing makeup, and always dresses in androgynous styles like shirts and trousers, with a wolf-tail braid...
The girl in front of me, named Xie Jian, matches Xie Zheng's information perfectly.
Li Xi's answer was flawless and reasonable.
Xie Jian didn't ask any further questions, probably because Li Xi was a fan of her sister, and Xie Jian took good care of Li Xi.
During her driving practice in the afternoon, Xie Jian ordered two cups of takeout milk tea, one for herself and one for Li Xi, but the two boys in the car didn't get any.
Li Xi could also see that Xie Jian seemed somewhat resistant to boys, but she didn't delve into it, since their relationship hadn't reached that point yet.
In the afternoon, just as we were finishing driving practice, Coach Qin suddenly said, "I just got a call. My elderly mother fell at home and broke her hip. She needs surgery."
"I need to take half a month off to go to the hospital to take care of my mother. I'll have to find another coach to take you guys from now on."
Upon hearing this, everyone expressed their understanding.
Besides, the instructors who can get into driving schools are all pretty skilled, so it wouldn't be a big problem to have anyone in charge.
After finishing her driving practice, Li Xi and Xie Jian took a minibus back to the city. Just before getting off the bus, they realized that they lived on the same street.
Xie Jian lives in a high-end residential complex diagonally opposite Lanting Apartments.
"You live in Lanting Apartments?" Xie Jian said, "I heard it's not easy to rent here. Many people in our community want to rent here, but they've all been turned away."
Li Xi said, "I also got help from a friend."
Thinking about Xie Zheng's AIDS, Li Xi felt something was amiss. She took out her phone and added Xie Jian as a friend, saying, "Let's add each other on WeChat and arrange to practice driving together another day."
"it is good."
After successfully adding Xie Jian as a WeChat friend, Li Xi noticed that Xie Jian's WeChat profile picture was completely black.
It's so dark it's suffocating.
"Then I'll go first."
"it is good."
After watching Xie Jian cross the zebra crossing, Li Xi called Xue Ni to ask when she would arrive.
Xue Ni said there were only two stops left.
Li Xi simply stood by the roadside and waited for her.
Just as I hung up the phone, I saw Jiang Xinghe walk out of the small supermarket behind me, holding a new lighter in his hand.
Jiang Xinghe shook a cigarette out of the pack, put it in his mouth, and was about to light it when he remembered something and asked Li Xi, "Do you mind?"
Li Xi: "I mind."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xinghe actually put the lighter back into his pocket.
He tucked the cigarette behind his ear, pointed to the residential area diagonally across the street, and said, "Was that girl Xie Jian just now?"
Li Xi was somewhat surprised, "You know him?"
Nodding, Jiang Xinghe said, "Yeah, we went to the same high school, she was two grades below me."
"You know him even though he's two grades below you?" There are so many high school students, and Xie Jian is two grades below Jiang Xinghe, so it seems Xie Jian is quite famous at school.
“Hmm.” Jiang Xinghe said, “She wasn’t like this before. Back then, she was a pretty girl who loved beauty. She was a well-known beauty in our school.”
Jiang Xinghe asked Li Xi curiously, "How did you two meet?"
"Let's practice driving together."
Jiang Xinghe didn't ask any more questions, but his eyes were always fixed on the gate of the residential area across the street.
“By the way,” Li Xi looked at Jiang Xinghe suspiciously, then pointed out with a playful tone, “when you were a senior in high school, she was only a freshman, right?”
"You went abroad after graduating from high school, and it's been so many years since we last saw each other. How can you recognize her from this distance?"
Should I praise your good eyesight, or...?
Li Xi smiled ambiguously, "You wouldn't have had a crush on that girl, would you?"
Jiang Xinghe: "Bullshit, that's nonsense."
Jiang Xinghe changed the subject, "I'll go back and take a shower first. Call me when your friend arrives, and I'll help you wash the vegetables."
Jiang Xinghe waved and left, looking somewhat like he was fleeing in panic.
