Chapter 87 Blind Date?

After school, Luo Xiao told Lu Zhaoye to go home first, as she would stay in the classroom to clean.

Seeing this, Lu Zhaoye simply went to find Xu Ziqing. There happened to be an OPPO mobile phone store on the way to Xu Ziqing's house, so he bought a mobile phone for Xu Qingwan.

The two met on a familiar street. Xu Ziqing skillfully took Lu Zhaoye's arm with her left hand and slowly walked towards home.

"How was it? Were the competition questions difficult?"

Holding a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) in his hand, Lu Zhaoye asked Xu Ziqing hesitantly.

Xu Ziqing also held a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) in her hand. She shook her head, a confident smile playing on her lips.

"It doesn't seem as difficult as I imagined. I'll make it to the city competition, big brother."

Lu Zhaoye's lips twitched. No wonder everyone calls her the Saintess. Look at her talent. She's only had the test questions for less than half a day, and she's already determined her position?

"So confident? What was your score on that math placement test?"

Lu Zhaoye was a little worried and asked another question, and a new question suddenly popped into his mind.

"135," Xu Ziqing answered obediently.

Lu Zhaoye now truly believed it; Guo Zichen had only scored 140 in math.

But there are only four spots for No. 2 Middle School to enter the city competition this time, and Lu Zhaoye is a little worried.

"Wow, Xu Ziqing, you're amazing!" Lu Zhaoye praised Xu Ziqing without thinking much. "I hope I won't make it into the city competition."

Xu Ziqing shook her head and said without hesitation, "No, Big Brother can definitely do it."

Lu Zhaoye raised an eyebrow, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"You trust your older brother that much? You think too highly of me."

"I believe you," Xu Ziqing said obediently.

Lu Zhaoye was amused by Xu Ziqing's sincere yet dazed appearance, and then said with a smile,

"Then I'll take your good wishes."

After saying that, Lu Zhaoye and the others arrived at the mobile phone store. He turned to Xu Ziqing and said,

"Xu Ziqing, I need to go inside to buy a phone. Do you want to come in with me?"

Xu Ziqing thought for a moment, then nodded.

This is an OPPO mobile phone store, the only one selling mobile phones near this school, but it's too late now, so there aren't many customers.

As soon as Lu Zhaoye led Xu Ziqing in, the sales clerk noticed them.

Perhaps it was close to closing time, because there was only one woman in her thirties in the store, wearing her signature white shirt and black trousers.

When she spotted Xu Ziqing and her white cane, she stepped out from behind the counter and asked suspiciously,

"Qingqing?"

Xu Ziqing's body stiffened as she heard an unfamiliar voice suddenly appear, and she was clearly a little nervous.

Lu Zhaoye sensed it too. He shielded Xu Ziqing behind him and stood in front of the middle-aged woman.

"Sister, who are you?"

Seeing this, the middle-aged woman gave a very kind smile and explained,

"Little girl, I'm her mother's friend, my name is Li Na."

Lu Zhaoye nodded upon hearing this, giving a friendly smile, and then asked Xu Ziqing behind him,

Do you know him?

Xu Ziqing nodded, took a step away from Lu Zhaoye's back, and timidly greeted Li Na.

"Hello Aunt Li, I'm here with...my classmate to buy a cell phone."

Li Na was taken aback by Xu Ziqing's timid voice, then stepped forward and patted Xu Ziqing's head, her eyes slightly red.

"Okay, how have you been lately? Is your mother doing alright at home? Is her eye still bothering her?"

Xu Ziqing replied very politely, "Mom is fine, and I'm fine too. Aunt Li, don't worry."

Li Na nodded, feeling a pang of heartache as she looked at Xu Ziqing's expressionless face.

"Your father..."

Before Li Na could finish speaking, Lu Zhaoye quickly interrupted her, saying with a grin,

"Auntie, let's talk again later, it's getting late."

Li Na was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, but quickly recovered and replied with a smile.

"Look at my brain! Qingqing, sit down first, let me show your friend the phone."

Li Na helped Xu Ziqing to a seat and then began to introduce the phones to Lu Zhaoye one by one.

However, this introduction is a bit strange.

"Young man, how many people are in your family? Is this for your parents, or your older siblings?"

Lu Zhaoye suppressed a smile, understanding Li Na's unspoken meaning. However, judging from Li Na's reaction just now, she seemed like a good person, so he pretended to be silly and said...

"Auntie, there are only three people in my family, no older brothers or sisters. This phone is for my friend."

Li Na nodded, a smile appearing on her face, and then continued to ask...

"I see. You're all still young, so your studies should be your priority, understand?"

"Where are you from? Are you a local?"

Lu Zhaoye blinked innocently and continued to answer honestly.

"My home is in Ganyu, and I grew up here."

Li Na's smile widened with satisfaction, and her eyes filled with affection as she looked at Lu Zhaoye.

"That's not bad, it'll be convenient to live close to home."

"Yeah yeah."

"Summer vacation is almost here, how are your grades at school?"

"There's still about a month left. I'm in the same class as Xu Ziqing now, and my grades are just average."

Xu Ziqing, sitting to the side, blushed. After listening for so long, she realized what Aunt Li was doing. This was just like a blind date.

But why is my older brother being so obedient? Didn't he realize it?

......

......

Finally, citing Lu Zhaoye's late hour, this chat, which was not a blind date but felt even better than one, came to an end.

Lu Zhaoye held a cell phone in his hand, grabbed Xu Ziqing's wrist, said goodbye to Li Na, and left.

On the road.

Lu Zhaoye suddenly thought of something, and he turned to Xu Ziqing to ask,

"By the way, Xu Ziqing, do you have a cell phone?"

Xu Ziqing nodded. "Yes."

"Is it a mobile phone that blind people can use? Does it have all the functions? Is it convenient?"

In Lu Zhaoye's memory, the cell phones of blind people are generally different from those of sighted people. For example, their cell phones will make a sound when touched, and the speech is extremely fast.

Xu Ziqing knew that her older brother knew a lot, especially about all aspects of blind people. She had noticed this when he gave her a blind cane.

"Yes, that's fine," Xu Ziqing replied truthfully.

Lu Zhaoye nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Before he knew it, he had arrived at the entrance of Xu Ziqing's residential area.

Inside, it was as dim as ever, with only a single street lamp standing alone on the curb, emitting a faint light.

"Okay, we've arrived at the building. Let's go back now."

Lu Zhaoye did not stop at the entrance of the residential area, but instead dropped Xu Ziqing off at the bottom of her apartment building.

Xu Ziqing felt a pang of reluctance as she held the soft warmth in her hand. She turned her head and abruptly changed the subject.

"Hey bro, was your phone confiscated?"

Lu Zhaoye was taken aback for a moment, but then she thought that it was probably the little girl who told her, so she smiled and said,

"Yeah, Old Zhang confiscated it."

Xu Ziqing was about to say something when a voice suddenly came from upstairs, interrupting their conversation.
