Different from his usual fancy outfits, although his attire today is not particularly formal, it is definitely normal.
For him, such normal to somewhat formal clothes are already rare. Even the hair is not straight on the top of the head, but is combed back with a big back, and only a strand of hair falls when the head is lowered. .
His posture was lazy and careless, with one foot curled back against the wall, standing there for an unknown how long, when he saw the bus coming, he looked up at the bus, as if through the glass of the bus, As if he had already seen her, his slightly sharp eyebrows and eyes immediately softened a lot, and he raised his legs and walked towards the bus.
The school gate opened, and the bus stopped at the entrance of the entrance to the school.
The bus has two doors, one in the front and one in the middle. He didn't know which door Su Xingchen would get off from, so he stood there and waited, watching them get off one by one. When Su Xingchen got off, the corners of his lips were already raised , strode over and took the schoolbag from her hand.
At the moment when he came to pick her up, a poem popped up in her mind: If you want to go, I won't keep you. If you come back, no matter how stormy it is, I will pick you up.
Her schoolbag was actually not very heavy, but the moment he came over and looked at her smiling, and reached out to pick her up, she still felt warm and peaceful in her heart, like a wanderer who had been away from home for a long time, returning to her family.
Growing up so big, it seemed that no one had ever picked her up like this except him.
Even when she was going back to her uncle and aunt's house, she was used to being independent. The car went directly to their car, and it was only a few steps away from her uncle's and aunt's house. The tradition of picking up people is only when sending them off, they will be sent to the car. The two cousins go to school, and they never let their uncles and aunts worry about it. Uncles and aunts are so busy that they don't even need to say hello. When they come back at night and see no one, they know they have left.
When she came to City H, no one would pick her up, and she never felt that she needed someone to pick her up.
But he comes every time.
This summer camp is under closed management. He has not seen her for 20 days. Seeing her full of thoughts seems to overflow, he has never felt such a strong feeling in the past. The moment he saw her, he wanted to Hug her tightly.
Su Xingchen stood on the steps of the bus and smiled at him.
At that moment, she had the urge to jump into his arms and hug him.
"Are you going? If you don't go, can you let me go?" The boy's indifferent voice came from behind, and it was a bit cool in this August summer day.
Su Xingchen felt that this might be his own illusion.
She turned her head and saw Zhao Moqin standing behind her with a cold face and frowning.
The aisle to get off the car was only wide for one person, she immediately jumped out of the car, turned sideways to let him pass first, and smiled apologetically at him.
Her smile disturbed him even more.
In fact, she only stayed there for a few seconds, but those few seconds, in Zhao Moqin's opinion, seemed to have stayed there for as long as a century, which made him feel restless.
Looking at her, and then at Cheng Kangyao who was standing next to her with her schoolbag on his back, his slightly indifferent brows became a little colder, and he got out of the car with a frown.
Su Xingchen was a little puzzled, he seemed to dislike her very much? It is also understandable, after all, some of her youthful and frivolous behaviors may have caused him some troubles, and it is normal for him to hate her.
She looked at Cheng Kangyao: "Wait a minute, I'll talk to Teacher Chen."
The parents haven't come to pick them up yet, and the teachers are still accompanying them.
Teacher Chen was still talking softly to everyone: "Wait until the parents come before leaving, don't run around!"
Seeing Su Xingchen approaching, Teacher Chen smiled at her gently: "Be careful on the road, don't stay outside for long, go back early."
Su Xingchen raised his hand and waved to Teacher Chen, and left with Cheng Kangyao.
Su Xingchen had already come over to say hello to Teacher Chen, and left with Cheng Kangyao.
The two walked side by side, Cheng Kangyao was still carrying her black schoolbag, she was carrying a schoolbag of just the right size, but it looked a little small on him, and it was a lady's schoolbag, which looked a little funny, just like his father carrying with her daughter's schoolbag.
But such a funny scene, in the eyes of many students who watched the two killers leave, it was a naked bowl of dog food.
In fact, Cheng Kangyao was very nervous. Several times he looked down at the hands that were very close to each other. He could grab her hand with just a light shake, but such a close distance made his hand clenched. Tight and loose, loose and tight, the heart beat like a drum, as if it was going to jump out of the chest.
Standing in the crowd, Zhao Moqin watched the two leave the school with the same aura and got into the car together.
It was already time to eat, even if they didn't say anything, the two went to eat tacitly.
She thought he would take her to a cheap restaurant for dinner as usual, because she hadn't seen Xiaopang and Curly for a long time, and she asked him if she wanted to call Xiaopang and Curly together.
Cheng Kangyao was particularly disgusted: "What do you want them to do? They must have eaten it."
Su Xingchen asked in the group if he wanted to come out for dinner together.
Curly immediately replied in the group: "Damn it, you didn't call us when you went out to eat alone!"
Su Xingchen still wanted to reply, but Cheng Kangyao's car had stopped, he snatched her mobile phone, and quickly typed a word in it: "Get out!"
He got out of the car and opened the car door for her. Under her surprised gaze, the other hand naturally grabbed her wrist and walked towards the restaurant.
This is a restaurant with a very beautiful and clean environment, and the food inside is still western food. On a large retro black wooden table in the aisle of the restaurant, there is a bottle of extremely rich and bright red roses.
She was a little surprised when he pulled her wrist. The temperature of his palm was so hot that it seemed to melt her skin, and she was sweating.
After they entered, a male waiter in uniform bent over slightly with a book in his hand, and asked him in a low voice, "Hi, do you have a reservation in advance?"
Cheng Kangyao was always so high-spirited, and said: "Table No. 8."
"Follow me, please." The male waiter slightly bent down and made a gesture of invitation, and strode ahead to lead the way, leading the two to sit by a window. Outside the window happened to be a pond with many water lilies blooming inside. And light pink lotus, a few lights are reflected in the pool, and from time to time, two naughty fish splash two water flowers, creating circles of ripples on the water surface.
After Su Xingchen sat down, he looked away and looked at the two tall candles on the table, a little surprised: "What day is today?"
The surrounding was very quiet, and she was too embarrassed to speak loudly, so she had to lower her voice.
Cheng Kangyao just smiled and told the waiter that the food is ready.
The first thing to serve is the aperitif, which tastes a little sweet and sour, and it tastes very refreshing in summer.
Su Xingchen took a sip by himself and it was delicious. Cheng Kangyao wanted to order red wine, but Su Xingchen stopped him: "Are you driving? I'll call for a driver later?"
The wine was quite delicious, and the long and thin goblet was half full, enough for her to drink in one sip.
She was also not polite to Cheng Kangyao, and directly drank his glass of aperitif.
Cheng Kangyao: ...
After drinking the aperitif, the next dishes began to be served. She and Cheng Kangyao were too familiar, so she didn't feel uncomfortable, so she started to eat naturally, and asked him: "Today is not your birthday, why do you want to come here for dinner?"
Cheng Kangyao blushed a little, "Just eat, I haven't come to eat for a long time, change the taste, why are there so many?"
"Alright." Su Xingchen shrugged.
In the middle of the meal, Su's father called and asked her if the training camp was over.
It's not convenient to answer the phone here, so she gestured to Cheng Kangyao, got up and went to the bathroom, and whispered to Father Su, "It's over, what's the matter?"
Su's father actually wanted to ask her to come back, but after saying this many times, she didn't want to come back, so Su's father didn't say much, but said: "You will be in the second year of high school next semester, which is a critical period for your studies. I know that you are filming a movie or an advertisement, but you can shoot movies at any time, and you can’t delay your studies. Since you don’t want to come back, I’ll ask your brother to bring you the tuition…” Father Su sighed, “You’re all grown up, too. Everyone has their own opinions, we did neglect you when you were young, you blame us... Alas, I was busy with work at that time, and your mother didn't have time to take you... "
He didn't want to say anything later, it was like making excuses, but at that time, they were really in trouble. Many people of their generation were like them, they couldn't take care of themselves after giving birth, and they were sent to the countryside to be taken care of by the elderly. , Not only their generation, even now, there are many left-behind children. In their conception, this is indeed a matter of helpless choice. He doesn't understand why his daughter just hates them.
Su Xingchen didn't want to hear it either.
In fact, she didn't blame them for sending her to the countryside, she just felt that they were not close to each other, since they had already sent her away, then they should not pick her up again, since they brought her back, not to mention treating her equally, at least they had to treat her well.
But it is useless to say these things now, she is no longer the one who longed for her parents in the first life, she just wants to live freely and follow her heart, and it doesn't matter.
But she still expressed her gratitude very politely, and her voice was soft without any resistance or sharpness: "Dad, I really don't need it anymore."
But this was heard in Father Su's ears, that is, she was still blaming them.
After hanging up the phone, I went back to the dining table, where there was a box.
Su Xingchen raised his eyebrows and asked him, "What is this?"
Cheng Kangyao was a little awkward, "Congratulations on reaching the end of the training camp." He resumed his idle look, leaned on the back of the chair, looked down at the box on the table, raised his chin slightly, and motioned for her to open it. Gift, "I've heard it all. In this training camp, you have to eliminate 30 people in each exam. In the four exams, you eliminated a total of 90 people in your mathematics competition class."
All right.
She opened the box, and inside was a women's watch.
The dial is an exquisite rectangle, not as delicate and exquisite as usual ladies' watches, it looks a bit grand, which fits Su Xingchen's aesthetics.
She picked it up: "Is it expensive?"
There is a logo on the dial, but she can't understand it, and naturally she doesn't know its value.
He knew she would not accept a gift that was too expensive.
Cheng Kangyao leaned over to take it, and put it on her without any hassle: "It's not expensive."
When he reached out to put the watch on her, she had already seen that he was wearing a male watch of the same model as hers on his wrist.
