The next morning, when Mother Qiao went to the living room, she saw Ji Tui sitting on the sofa.
"Xiao Tui, you woke up so early?"
"Morning, Aunt Yang." Ji Tui's fair and handsome face had a smile on his face, "I'm going to visit the Academy of Fine Arts today, I'll get up early to prepare."
"Stupid child, what preparations do you need to visit the school?" Qiao's mother smiled, "Xiao Xi didn't get up so early, this child likes to stay in bed."
Ji Tui's patience is very good, "It's okay, I can wait slowly, there is no rush."
I don't know how long it took, but Qiao Xi came down. She was wearing a light apricot skirt today. The weather was a little cold today, so she was wearing a small white coat outside, and her hair was half tied with a tangerine ribbon. It is delicate and fairy-like.
"Xiao Xi is awake, come over and have breakfast." Mother Qiao saw her daughter going downstairs, she asked the servant to pour a glass of warm milk, "Xiao Tui has been waiting for you for a long time."
Qiao Xi forgot that she was going to take Ji Tui to visit the school today, she sat down, "Then I'll eat faster."
Ji Tui took the milk brought by the servant and put it in Qiao Xi's hand. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister eat slowly, I can continue to wait."
Qiao Xi glanced at him, "Yes."
The car is very quiet.
Qiao Xi looked out the window and had no intention of chatting with Ji Tui, and Ji Tui, who was sitting on the other side, was playing with his mobile phone without opening his mouth.
The car drove to the school gate and stopped.
"Here we are." Qiao Xi got out of the car first.
Ji retreated back to his phone, he opened the car door, and walked beside her, "This is my sister's school."
"Yes, let's go in." Qiao Xi said.
Ji Tui followed beside Qiao Xi. He turned his feet and walked very slowly. Qiao Xi beside him seemed to be matching his pace, walking slowly.
Because it was school time in the morning, there were many students on the road, Qiao Xi was pretty, and there were many people looking at her. The combination of people attracts the attention of others even more.
And Qiao Xi didn't seem to care, she took Ji Tui to stroll around the campus slowly.
Ji Tui showed a bit of interest in his eyes, and felt that Qiao Xi was more boring and less fun than Zhao Yuxi, at least yesterday when Zhao Yuxi went out with him, the other party was real, clearly showing dislike for him on his face and eyes.
Especially when being stared at by passers-by, Zhao Yuxi really wants to keep a distance from him, which is a normal person's reaction.
But Qiao Xi pretended to be kind and generous, with a face of indifference, unable to bear to hurt him, and a face of hypocrisy.
Ji Tui spoke unhurriedly, with a pitiful tone, "Sister walked with me, and was looked at with strange eyes, do you mind? Do you feel uncomfortable?"
Qiao Xi shook her head, "I never care about other people's eyes."
"But because of me, others will talk about you in a low voice. Don't you want to stay away from people like me?" Ji Tui looked at her timidly with dark eyes. It’s ugly, and it’s only natural for everyone to find it strange.”
Qiao Xi turned his head to the side and looked down at his feet. He didn't know whether it was innate or acquired. Ji Tui's left leg was a little lame, and he limped when he walked, which was obviously very different from the normal people's walking posture. difference.
Qiao Xi said: "Physical problems are beyond your control. It's not your fault. Why should I stay away from you because of your walking posture? Unless there is something wrong with your character."
Hearing this, Ji Tui's eyes showed a bit of mockery, even children were more honest than Qiao Xi.
After all, he met many children who would call him lame, or imitate his walking posture.
Ji Tui looked at Qiao Xi with a smile, "You are so kind, you won't dislike me walking by your side."
Qiao Xi met the other party's eyes, took a serious look, and didn't respond.
She walked around slowly with Ji Tui. It is autumn now, the weather in the morning is cool, the sun is mild, and the breeze is blowing, gently brushing the broken hair on the side of Qiao Xi's face.
The scenery in the school is very good, with a strong sense of modernity, but the greening is well done, and the surrounding is more like a garden.
After walking for a while, Ji Tui stood where he was. He looked at Qiao Xi and asked, "Is there a place to buy drinks nearby? I'm a little thirsty."
Qiao Xi looked at the surrounding environment, "There are none nearby."
"I'm a little tired, and it's not easy to walk around on my feet, can I trouble my sister to help me buy something to drink?" Ji Tui's fair and handsome face was a bit embarrassed.
Qiao Xi pointed to the bench in front, "Go and sit there, I'll be back later."
Ji Tui smiled, "Sister, please."
Watching Qiao Xi leave, he walked to the bench, took out his phone, and played games contentedly.
After an unknown amount of time, Qiao Xi came back with two glasses of juice.
Maybe it was because she walked in a hurry, her snow-white face was slightly red, her eyebrows were exquisite, and the breeze was blowing her light apricot skirt, and her delicate white ankles were exposed under the hem of the skirt.
Many passers-by looked at her sideways, and even some boys wanted to strike up a conversation.
Qiao Xi came to the bench, and she handed one of the juices to Ji Tui, "Your juice."
Sitting on the chair, Ji Tui slowly raised his head.
He inadvertently met Qiao Xi's eyes. Her dark eyes were full of water, and a few messy strands of hair stuck to the side of her face. In the dim yellow and withered autumn colors, she was beautiful and lively, making people's hearts flutter.
Ji Tui shook his head, but didn't take the juice, he said apologetically, "I didn't remind my sister just now, I don't like sweet drinks, can you buy me another bottle of water?"
Qiao Xi stared at him for a few seconds, and she put the juice on the side beside him, "Is there anything else you want to remind me?"
"No, thank you sister."
Qiao Xi turned around and went to buy water again.
The girl's slender back gradually moved away, and Ji Tui saw that the tangerine ribbon tied in her hair seemed to be about to fall off.
After a while, after Ji Tui won a game, Qiao Xi came back, and she handed him a large bottle of mineral water.
Ji Tui took the mineral water with a smile, "Thank you sister, are you tired? Do you want to sit down and rest for a while?"
He could clearly see that the girl's face was flushed with heat because of walking back and forth, and her pink and pink color became more and more charming.
Her eyes were beautiful, and she didn't show any dissatisfaction or resentment towards him.
Either she has a dull personality, or she is too fake. At least yesterday, after Zhao Yuxi was ordered around by him a few times, she couldn't hide the impatience on her face. She was not as calm and unpredictable as Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi shook her head: "No need."
Ji Tui didn't take it seriously, he drank a few sips of water, turned his feet, walked beside Qiao Xi, and continued walking.
Obviously, Qiao Xi had a high reputation in the school, and many students would pay attention to her on the way, but Qiao Xi didn't care.
After walking for a while, Ji Tui followed Qiao Xi to a lake, and there was a tower in the center of the lake.
The morning sun fell on the lake, as if it had knocked over the glass of the lake, shining brightly. The surrounding environment is quiet, some students are sitting by the lake reading a book, the breeze is blowing, making people feel happy.
Ji Tui took out his mobile phone, and he took a few photos of the lake and the tower.
The camera in his hand moved, and the girl's figure broke into his sight. Subconsciously, Ji Tui took the picture.
The girl seemed to have discovered something, and just turned around, Ji Tui waved his hand, and he put the phone away naturally.
"You were shooting me just now?" Qiao Xi frowned.
Ji Tui laughed, "Sister, I was taking pictures of the tower in front of me just now." He handed over the phone, "Why don't you check it? Although my sister is good-looking, she is too confident."
Qiao Xi glanced at him, but didn't pick up the other party's phone.
Ji Tui put away his phone, and asked with a smile, "Can you tell me about the history of this tower?"
Qiao Xi looked at the lake, "I don't know, if you want to know, you can search it online."
Ji Tui was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward.
After a while, he said, "You treat me very coldly. Do you not like me and think I'm a trouble? You can just say, it's okay, I can accept it. After all, I've been used to it since I was a child."
Qiao Xi said slowly, "You're thinking too much. I'm not familiar with you. I can't talk about whether you like it or dislike it. You are just my mother's guest."
Ji Tui found that the other party has not been led by him, she is completely different from Zhao Yuxi yesterday.
"This is the first time I have seen such a beautiful lake. I also have a small artificial lake at home. When I was a child, I was still fishing in the lake."
Ji Tui had a smile in his eyes, as if the person mentioned was not himself, "Unfortunately, after one of my legs became lame, I was pushed into the water once and almost drowned in the lake. Since then, I have stayed away from that lake."
He told Qiao Xi, "Does sister know who pushed me into the water?"
Without waiting for the other party to answer, Ji Tui continued: "It's my younger brother. He is two years younger than me. He is my father's illegitimate son. After pushing me down, he stood by the lake smiling and watching me struggle."
He sneered: "I told my family that he pushed me into the water, but in my family's eyes, my younger brother has always been innocent and cute, how could he do such vicious things? They all think that I slandered him, I am already The Ji family's joke, the Ji family doesn't need a second joke."
Ji Tui looked at Qiao Xi's expression.
The girl looked calm and didn't show any emotion, "Your sister doesn't believe me, either?"
Qiao Xi turned her head and met his dark eyes, "I believe it."
Ji Tui laughed softly, "You believe it, but you don't feel anything, you are so hard-hearted."
"Because I met someone in a worse situation than you." She felt sorry for Lu Huo's pitiful experience, and now after hearing about Ji Tui, she only had sympathy.
Ji Tui looked at Qiao Xi, "You mean the man in the wheelchair?"
After his words fell, Qiao Xi's gaze turned cold instantly, "How do you know him?"
"Auntie cleaned your room yesterday and swept out your waste paper, I happened to see it." Ji Tui licked his palate, "Why, can't you mention this person?"
Ji Tui heard Qiao Xi's protection of the person in the painting, "Sister likes the person in the painting?"
"It has nothing to do with you." Qiao Xi warned, "I'm not interested in knowing about your affairs, so please don't try to spy on my affairs."
Ji Tui was very sensible, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be curious."
When it was almost noon, Ji Tui asked Qiao Xi to take him to the dining hall for dinner.
Qiao Xi glanced at the time, "After dinner, you go back by car, I still have classes in the afternoon."
With a slight smile on Ji Tui's fair and handsome face, "I can wait for my sister to finish school."
Qiao Xi directly refused: "No need."
During lunch time, there were a lot of people in the dining hall. Qiao Xi had eaten in the dining hall with Zi Zixin and Fang Tang a few times before, and the taste was not bad. "What do you want to eat?"
"Is my sister going to help me buy food?"
Qiao Xi glanced at him, "What to eat?"
"Anything is fine." Ji Tui had a caring smile on his fair face, "I will like to eat whatever my sister buys."
Qiao Xi didn't forget about helping him buy water just now, she asked clearly, "Is there anything you don't like or need to avoid?"
Ji Tui was slightly taken aback. He hadn't been asked what he didn't like to eat for a long time. At home, everyone would only ask his illegitimate brother what he liked to eat.
There was a little more sincerity in his smile, "As long as it is bought by you, I will eat it."
Qiao Xi said to him: "Go find a seat and sit down and wait for me, otherwise, you won't be able to find a seat when it's too late."
There are more and more people after class, and the seats will be full later.
Ji Tui watched Qiao Xi turn around and go to line up.
She is obviously the spoiled young lady, she has no arrogance at all, in the crowd, she is the most eye-catching one, she likes a wheelchair-bound person
Ji Tui felt that he was thinking too much.
Ordinary people would not like a cripple, how could a little princess like her love a cripple.
Ji Tui turned his legs and walked to the opposite dining table.
At this time, he was hit by two people who rushed out from the side and almost fell down.
One of them was holding soup in his hand, bumped it, and the soup fell on him.
"Oh my god, Youyou, are you okay? Did you get burned?" Another girl immediately looked at her friend.
"I didn't get burned, but my skirt was dirty." Zhen Youzhi stomped her feet a few times, as if she wanted to shake the soup off her skirt.
The girl Jiang Qiu stood up for her friend, "How do you walk, you... Ji Tui?"
The other party looked at Ji Tui in front of him in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Thinking of something, Jiang Qiu asked: "You don't want to give up, you chase Youyou to the university, right? You have already broken up, so what if you saved Youyou? You were her boyfriend at the time, It is also your responsibility to save her, is it because you have saved her that she will give her a lifetime of happiness?"
Obviously, both Zhen Youzhi and Jiang Qiu were surprised to meet Ji Tui in the school cafeteria.
Jiang Qiu persisted, "Besides, the driver who knocked you into a cripple was the driver, not Youyou. Youyou is with you and has already endured too much pressure. She doesn't owe you anything, so how can you pay me back?" pester her?"
"Xiaoqiu, stop talking." Zhen Youzhi looked at Ji Tui who suddenly appeared, she bit her lip, trying to stop her friend, "I'm fine."
Jiang Qiu was indignant, "You still say it's okay? That bowl of soup was so hot that it almost scalded you and stained your skirt. How do you go to the student union meeting this afternoon?"
She continued: "You are so soft-hearted that you are often bullied. Even if Ji Tui saved you, so what? He was the one who rushed out to save you on the road. You didn't ask him. Why is he still I want to pester you, he is already crippled, and has no self-knowledge at all."
Zhen Youzhi did not refute her friend's words.
Ji Tui smiled angrily, he tore off the gentleness on his face, his eyes were piercingly cold, "I didn't come to find her."
Jiang Qiu taunted: "You don't need to draft a lie?"
"You are in S City, you came to our school for no reason, and now you bump into Youyou, obviously you want to premeditate and find an opportunity to pester Youyou. Don't think that you are a saint if you saved Youyou, it is great, Youyou said, Even if you don't come forward, she might hide herself."
She raised her voice, "Don't try to repay your kindness."
"It's the first time I've seen what true retribution is." The girl's light voice sounded, and she came with a tray.
Many people around recognize Qiao Xi. After all, she is so beautiful. Someone has already posted her photo on the forum. Everyone agrees that she is the beauty of the school.
Obviously, Zhen Youzhi and Jiang Qiu also recognized Qiao Xi. Once, Jiang Qiu told Zhen Youzhi that Qiao Xi's photo must be so beautiful because she turned on more than ten levels of beauty. Zhen Youzhi is more beautiful than Qiao Xi Much prettier.
But now seeing Qiao Xi in real life, they suddenly realized that Qiao Xi's beauty in the photo was no match for the real person.
Qiao Xi handed the tray to Ji Tui, "Have you ever saved him?"
Ji Tui sighed, "Yes."
"You seem to have saved the white-eyed wolf, but the other party doesn't accept your favor."
Ji Tui twitched the corner of his lips mockingly.
Qiao Xi looked at the two people on the opposite side, "Is Ji Tui's foot lame because he saved you?"
Zhen Youzhi bit her lip and didn't respond.
Jiang Qiu stood by her side to protect her, "So what, Ji Tui was Youyou's boyfriend at the time, so saving her is not a matter of course?"
Qiao Xi continued: "He limped because he saved you, what did you compensate for?"
Zhen Youzhi lowered her head, knowing that Ji Tui was lame, she found a chance to break up with him.
It is impossible for her to be with a cripple, even if he saved her, she is very grateful, but she still has a long way to go in the future, and there are many excellent people waiting for her, how could she be with Ji Tui.
Even the Ji family gave up on him.
"Silence means there is no compensation? If you save a passer-by, the other person will be grateful and thank you. Have you thanked him?" Qiao Xi was curious.
Zhen Youzhi bit her lip, "This is between me and Ji Tui, it has nothing to do with you."
Qiao Xi nodded, and she said to Ji Tui: "It seems that your eyesight is not very good, and you have found a white-eyed wolf as your girlfriend."
Ji Tui sneered: "That's right, I might as well break my leg myself, rather than save her."
He looked at Zhen Youzhi who didn't dare to look at him in front of him, and thought that when he was in the hospital, the other party heard the news that his feet would never return to their original state, so they turned around and broke up with him.
Qiao Xi nodded in agreement, and she said to the two people on the opposite side: "Ji Tui was brought by me, not to find you, there is no need for you to be sentimental and add unnecessary troubles."
Jiang Qiu said angrily: "You..."
"Ji Tui's character is pretty good. He stepped forward to save people in times of crisis, but he didn't expect to hurt a leg, but instead of being grateful and thanked, he was dismissed as meddling in other people's business." Qiao Xi curled her lips, "Next The next time you are in danger, I'm afraid you won't be so lucky, after all, not everyone is willing to save Baiyanlang."
Zhen Youzhi was aggrieved by Qiao Xi's complaints, and she couldn't help but retort, "What kind of upright person are you? If it were you, would you choose a man with leg problems as your boyfriend and bet your whole life? "
What's wrong with her
At that time, Ji Tui took the initiative to save her. Is it because of this that she is obliged to take care of Ji Tui for the rest of her life
Qiao Xi said: "If I like him, I won't mind if he has problems with his legs. When you like someone, it's not just about the external conditions. However, the important thing now is not to discuss the leg problem, but that you don't know how to be grateful."
She didn't admit that when she first had a crush on Lu Huo, she was influenced by his masculinity.
Beside, Ji Tui looked at her with dark eyes.
The girl's complexion is very fair, and her eyes are very bright, as if they will burn people's hearts.
Ji Tui felt that the heart in his chest, which was soaked in stagnant water, suddenly jumped.
From the conversations of several people, everyone understood what had happened. Many people present were people who could tell right from wrong. Zhen Youzhi and Jiang Qiu were obviously irrational, and everyone couldn't help but look at them with a little more strangeness. color.
Zhen Youzhi and Jiang Qiu didn't expect that Ji Tui didn't come to tangle with each other at all.
Now they made a joke and were ridiculed by Qiao Xi. In the end, they blushed with shame and left angrily.
Ji Tui carried the food, turned his feet, and slowly followed Qiao Xi, walked to the front table and sat down.
He pursed his lips, and there was a genuine smile on his fair and handsome face, "My sister was really amazing just now, she ran away those two people in shame."
Ji Tui looked at Qiao Xiying's pale face, "Thank you sister for protecting me."
"You don't need to thank me. You are a guest in my house. I can't explain to my mother if I didn't take good care of you." After finishing speaking, Qiao Xi bowed his head to eat, unwilling to communicate any more.
Ji Tui's hands were wrapped around the back, and his fingers gently hooked the honey-orange ribbon on Qiao Xi's head that slid to the end of her hair and couldn't fall off.
Quietly, he held the ribbon in his palm.
In the afternoon, Qiao Xi was going to class.
When she was leaving school, it started to rain suddenly, and Ji Quit appeared at the door of her classroom.
Qiao Xi frowned, "You didn't go back?"
"I want to go back together after my sister finishes school. Anyway, I'm free today." Ji Tui held up his umbrella, "It's raining heavily outside, so I just asked the driver for an umbrella."
Qiao Xi didn't bring an umbrella, so Ji Tui could only let Ji Tui hold the umbrella, and the two walked towards the school gate together.
The rain was a bit heavy and continuous, the umbrella was leaning towards Qiao Xi, and Ji Tui's clothes were almost soaked.
Looking at the umbrellas that were almost tilted over, Qiao Xi frowned, "You don't have to take care of me, just put the umbrella in the middle."
Ji Tui's fair face was covered with drops of water, and he became more and more handsome. He smiled beautifully, "Sister is a girl, I should take care of you. Besides, you helped me in the dining hall today."
Ji Tui insisted on covering her, Qiao Xi had no choice.
When getting in the car, Ji Tui's clothes were soaked.
Qiao Xi had no choice but to ask the driver to go back to Qiao's house. According to the usual times, she went to the villa to see Lu Huo immediately.
At this time, Qiao Xi's cell phone rang, and it was a call from Lu Huo.
The boy's deep voice was full of gentleness, like the continuous autumn rain outside the window, "Xixi, it's raining today, be careful on the road."
"Lu Huo, I won't go today." Qiao Xi said.
Suddenly, Ji Tui came over and asked her, "Sister, are you cold? Shall I ask Uncle Liang to turn on the heating?"
Qiao Xi covered the phone, glared at him, and said angrily, "Whatever."
On the other end of the phone, Lu Huo gripped the phone tightly, "Xixi."
"Um?"
Lu Huo lowered his eyelids to cover the darkness in his eyes. He told himself that the other party was just a guest of Qiao Xi's house.
"Will you come tomorrow?" The boy's tone was a little more eager and pleading.
Qiao Xi smiled and said, "Of course I will come."
Lu Huo's eyes trembled slightly, "Okay."
