Xie Xinglin carried the bag on one shoulder, and when he went out from the door, his expression was cold.
At this time, Su Qiuge felt a gust of cold wind coming from behind him. At the same time, Su Yuanzhou on the side noticed Xie Xinglin, and immediately put Su Qiuge behind him, who was blocking the door, and protected her with his arms, with hostile eyes. He looked at Xie Xinglin with great vigilance.
Xie Xinglin looked at him.
Originally, he had always been too lazy to care about Su Yuanzhou.
Even if this person often troubles him, just like Su Qiuge before. It doesn't hurt or itches, and it looks ridiculous.
But when he walked out today, he lowered his eyes and gave Su Yuanzhou a look.
At that moment, Su Yuanzhou only caught a glimpse of Xie Xinglin's stern jaw and the fleeting threatening look in his eyes.
He felt a strong sense of attack and provocation from it, just like the snatch instinct of male animals to maintain their own territory.
Su Yuanzhou scolded secretly, originally wanted to scold him behind his back, but he didn't know how to speak, so he could only greet Xie Xinglin's parents immediately.
Su Qiuge, who saw all this in her eyes, was silent. She knew that the two of them were wrong, as if she was used to seeing this scene. Seeing that Su Qiuge didn't care about Su Yuanzhou at all, Gao Jing changed the subject and said, "Let's go, it's not too late."
At this time, Xie Xinglin was far away, and he realized what stupid thing he had done just now.
Holding his schoolbag expressionlessly, he happened to meet Han Ming who came looking for him.
Han Ming obviously didn't notice that Xie Xinglin was wrong at the moment, he walked over and said, "Brother Yang told us to play in the Internet cafe. Let's go, not only to play but also to get money."
Seeing that Xie Xinglin didn't talk to him, Han Ming couldn't bear his curiosity anymore. He remembered the endless phone call, and leaned over to ask Xie Xinglin, "Brother Xing, the exciting female guest you mentioned last time...is it from our school? "
"Which class? Can you tell me?"
Who knew it would be better not to mention this, as soon as Xie Xinglin was mentioned, he swept his hand off his shoulder, raised his eyes slightly, and said gloomily, "No."
Han Ming: "Huh?"
Xie Xinglin's brows were cold and cold, and he said lightly, "There is no such person."
"… "
Han Ming chased after him in a confused manner, "No, is it possible that the person who called me in the middle of the night a few days ago and asked me to analyze emotional problems was a call from a ghost?"
Who knew Xie Xinglin let out a sigh, his eyes wandered around him, and he said blankly, "How do you know it's not?"
"… "
Han Ming remembered Xie Xinglin's question that night, but it really didn't seem like a joke, and he was puzzled: "No, is there really no sister who makes your heart move?"
Xie Xinglin lowered his eyes and quickened his pace to throw him behind him.
These are just the illusion that he was disturbed by her.
Just stay away from her.
·
It was very late when she came back from the Yang family on Friday. The driver of the Yang family drove her back, which made her feel a little more favorable towards the family.
Su Qiuge originally thought that Mr. Yang was only interested in his precious grandson, Su Yuanzhou. Who knew that today Mr. Yang was holding Su Yuanzhou's hand while chatting with her, asking her if she was under pressure to study and how her life was like if she was short of money? flower problem.
She was rather flattered.
She could see the old man's concern for his grandchildren. No matter how shrewd people are when they get old, they will want their descendants to be at the knees of Chenghuan. Even Su Yuanzhou, who has always been reluctant to cooperate, is too embarrassed to reject the old man's kindness.
It's just that Su Qiuge can see that apart from the old man in the Yang family, basically no one welcomes their brother and sister.
In the past few days, Jia Hesheng started to do competition questions for Su Qiuge, and Xie Xing had less time to come, basically once every two weeks.
This week happens to be a fortnight, and they have set a date.
It's just... Xie Xinglin seems to be a little abnormal recently.
No matter how slow Su Qiuge is, she can detect the indifference and alienation of her tablemate.
Xie Xinglin didn't even look at her when he was talking about the topic. She made a tentative joke, and the person didn't raise his head or say anything. Sure enough, he was left alone in the end.
She was also quite puzzled, and wondered if Xie Xinglin had regarded her as a friend. Why is there no brotherhood
Could it be... He was still thinking about what he had done to him before
His facial features were originally sharp and cold, and when he had no expression, he seemed cold and difficult to approach. Su Qiuge was in a low mood and did not take the initiative to speak.
After the tutoring time passed, Xie Xinglin left on time.
Not long after he left, Su Qiuge went to the balcony to collect his clothes, and suddenly found that the sky outside had turned a lot darker at some point, and the dark clouds pressed together. It didn't take long for the sky to start to drizzle. .
Then, there was an afternoon rainstorm warning on her phone.
She suddenly remembered that Xie Xing didn't bring an umbrella when he came. He had just left, and this community was quite far from the subway station.
Because of Xie Xinglin's attitude today, she didn't want to worry about it, but at this moment there was muffled thunder outside, which reminded her of the last rainy day, when he was almost soaked and brought her back.
That's it, let's just treat it as a personal favor.
There is only one umbrella for rain in Su Qiuge's family, and the others are sunshades.
She hurriedly put on her raincoat, took the umbrella and ran downstairs.
But when she went downstairs, Xie Xinglin was nowhere to be seen. She thought that this person had gone too fast.
She walked outside and called him on WeChat.
After a while, the other side was connected.
Su Qiuge didn't hesitate and said directly, "It's raining. You don't seem to have brought an umbrella. I brought you one."
As if afraid that the other party would refuse to let her return without success, Su Qiuge said directly, "I've already left the community, don't let me run away in vain."
The opposite seemed to be silent for a while, then slowly reported a position, and finally hung up the phone.
Su Qiuge stared at the location and left the community. When he was about to rush over, he suddenly received a voice from Xie Xinglin.
"I'm gone, you go back."
Su Qiuge was stunned.
What's the meaning
Just reported the location, and now let her go back
At this time, there were many fewer people on the street. Xie Xinglin was walking in the path above the square. After saying this to Su Qiuge, he locked his mobile phone and caught a glimpse of those who were following him from the reflection of the screen.
They seemed to have known for a long time that he would pass by here, so they waited in ambush like a rabbit.
Xie Xinglin lowered his eyes, his eyes were cold, and he kicked the stones at his feet to the back.
Those people behind also knew that they had been discovered, so they came out directly.
The head of the man had a ring on the tip of his nose, and the tights he was wearing showed off his tendon. There were two or three people walking towards him in a circle from the side.
The tights showed a gloomy smile, "You're not small, do you know who you offended?"
Xie Xing stared at him expressionlessly for a while, but didn't speak. Sure enough, another person took the initiative to speak, "Dare to provoke our brother Qin, I'm tired of living."
"Brother Qin treats you as a brother and gives you money. You don't thank Dade well, and you show his face in front of so many people. Do you deserve to be beaten?"
When Xie Xinglin went out, it started to rain lightly outside. Just after he left the community, he put on a hat on a knitted sweater to avoid the rain. Those people couldn't see his expression clearly.
After a long while, he raised his jaw slightly and said in a low voice, "Qin Dongming's dog is the same as its owner."
His red lips twitched slightly, and he added slowly, "Crazy and stupid."
Exactly,
It just so happens that he has been very annoying recently.
Need something stupid to move your muscles and bones.
"You fucking—"
Someone couldn't listen anymore, and immediately picked up a stick and ran over in the rain, smashing it towards Xie Xinglin, Xie Xinglin turned sideways to avoid the stick, the man made a blank, and the others looked at each other a few times, and then they all understood the meaning. Go together.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. The hat Xie Xinglin wore on his head fell off with his dodging movements, revealing a pair of long and narrow eyes. Through a thin layer of rain and fog, he could see the cold light in his eyes.
He directly grabbed one's stick, and then slashed at the body of the tights. He used a lot of strength, and the stick snapped on the body of the tights.
The tights made a painful grunt, and Xie Xinglin sneered, "I can't stand it anymore?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he casually threw the remaining part towards the other person, hitting him in the face like a target.
The rain is getting heavier.
He moved his wrist bones slightly, looked at the gradually dignified faces of those people, and smiled slightly.
Such a smile gave him a seven-point anger. The rain soaked the bangs on his forehead, making his eyes look cool and sharp. The heels stepped on the puddles on the side of the road, bringing out some water stains. in the rain.
His smile made these people shudder.
... Why does this person seem to be enjoying themselves
Tights noticed that the situation was not very simple. He originally thought that this kid would be easy to solve before he prepared to take credit with Qin Dongming.
He winked at one of them.
The man understood the meaning and wanted to go around without knowing it, he took out an iron rod from his jacket, and wanted to take advantage of Xie Xinglin and the others who were not paying attention, and smashed it towards the back of his head. .
Who knew that at this moment, the person holding the iron rod actually heard footsteps behind him.
Then, someone tapped his shoulder lightly.
The man held the iron rod in his hand, and when he turned his head, he saw a girl in a pink raincoat smiling at him.
Smile is pretty sweet.
There is a feeling of first love.
Before he could react, he saw the girl with the face of his first love holding up an automatic umbrella facing his face, pressed the button on the top blankly, and then, the automatic umbrella suddenly opened at the tip of his nose , with such a force that his face almost flew off.
He covered his face and screamed and took a quick step back.
Su Qiuge didn't expect that the person who wanted to sneak attack Xie Xinglin from behind looked so stubborn, and when he was frightened, he would scream "嘤~".
She didn't think much of it, and while he was screaming, she grabbed the iron rod from his hand and threw it towards Xie Xinglin.
"Take it!"
When Xie Xinglin saw Su Qiuge, his eyes that had no waves moved slightly, and then he took the iron rod that Su Qiuge handed over. Before the tights reflected, he used the iron rod to tighten his body. The top of the head of the clothes was smashed.
Xie Xinglin's more weapons are naturally more powerful, and those people can't resist, not to mention that a crazy woman in a pink raincoat with an umbrella on their heads appeared next to them.
In the end, the tights covered his stomach and looked at Xie Xinglin, then whispered, "You wait for me! You—"
He didn't let out his ruthless words, and was punched in the stomach by Xie Xinglin again. He was hit a lot and ran away without looking back.
Then the group followed him and fled in the rain in a hurry.
Xie Xinglin didn't chase, the iron rod in his hand fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.
Then, Su Qiuge saw a dazzling color flowing down his arm.
That is blood.
There was a wound on the arm that was scratched by a knife before. It may be that the old wound has been cracked due to the fight, or it may have just been a new wound.
The blood mixed with the rain was meandering down from his sharp knuckles, the broken hair on his forehead had long been wet by the rain, and the already rosy lips were dyed a coquettish color by the rain and mist.
However, he leaned over to pick up the keychain that had just fallen on the ground because of the fight. Su Qiuge noticed that there was still a glowing star on the keychain that she had given him before.
When bending over, he turned his face sideways and couldn't see the expression in his eyes. He just said in a hoarse voice through the increasingly heavy rain—
"Didn't I tell you not to come?"
For some reason, hearing this sentence, Su Qiuge felt a pain in his heart.
She also heard what those people said just now.
She recalled that Qin Dongming had humiliated Xie Xinglin's brother at Han Ming's birthday party. She couldn't stand it and splashed him with ice water. Who would have known that this person was so vengeful that he would find someone to squat Xie Xinglin.
When she was annoyed that her impulsive behavior had caused trouble to others, an untimely thought popped into her mind.
Why are so many tragic things hit by one person
Although she didn't know him very well, it was really not easy for him just from what she knew.
Even if he is the Son of Heaven's Chosen with a bright future, even if he knows that these are only temporary sufferings, everything will pass.
But seriously, wouldn't that cost a little too much
Even she can't stand it anymore.
The rain got into his eyes, and his vision was a little blurry.
Xie Xinglin bent down and fished the keychain on the ground into his hands, and then, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a faint pink shadow.
The pink shadow slowly walked towards him.
He still maintained the posture of picking up the keys and did not move.
Then, the pink shadow approached and stopped beside him.
The girl's hand pressed the button of the umbrella handle, and the umbrella opened again, resting on top of the boy's head.
The umbrella in her hand had already broken several holes because of the fight just now, and the umbrella surface was broken down. Even if it was slowly opened at this time, there would still be rainwater leaking in through the broken places.
Xie Xinglin noticed the umbrella above his head and clenched the keychain in his hand slightly.
The torrential rain is about to sweep the entire city, the sky is dark like the end of the world, the rain makes people feel like they are sinking in the deep sea, and the undried blood on the arms is like shackles.
Dragging him slowly down to the bottom of the sea.
The star hanging on the keychain glowed faintly at this time.
Like the only light source in this dark world.
At this time, he looked at her.
Only then did he realize that her eyes were a little red, and whether it was tears or rain, fell from her face.
She seems to have always been a very soft-hearted person, and she can't see others getting hurt.
Since his father's car accident that year, he has been disgusted by the sympathetic and pathetic eyes of those around him.
But now...
He actually expected that she, who is now full of himself, would be able to look at him for a while.
Even if it's just ridiculous pity.
He tightened the keychain in his hand, only to realize that the rope of the star pendant had been frayed.
The shining stars were washed out by the rain and fell to the ground, as if they had been abandoned by others, shining a little sadly.
There are so many stars in the sky, and if one is missing, who would have noticed.
After a while, he heard her say in a hoarse voice, "Kindergarten kids know how to protect themselves well, not fight or get hurt, but what about you?"
Doesn't this person often laugh at himself for being so naive as a child? How can he be better
She lowered her eyes, raised his injured right hand, and shivered around his wound that was soaked in the rain, and gently brushed away the blood that was diluted by the rain.
She really can't see other people's blood, because she herself is a person who is very afraid of pain. When I see it, I feel like a stone is blocked in my heart, and I feel very uncomfortable.
She tucked the umbrella into her arms, picked up the broken star from the ground, the rain slid down her face, and she tied the broken pendant to his hand.
He stared at her movement, his eyelashes trembling slightly.
In that instant, the faint light was as dazzling as day.
Some people have noticed such a small and dim starlight.
"Xie Xinglin, you can't even take good care of your own things, even a kindergarten kid."
The rain was getting heavier, the wind howled and pouring rain fell.
The broken umbrella in the girl's hand was shattered by the wind, but she stubbornly tried to cover his bent body with the umbrella, as if she could beg for more blessings from the sky for him.
A white light flashed across the gray sky, and when the dull and deafening thunder sounded, Xie Xinglin looked at the person in front of him, but felt that his heartbeat was clearer than the thunder.
He fixedly looked at the girl in the pink raincoat, the blood on her arm disappeared along the gap where the rainwater sank into the ground.
Those things that have been hurt, things that yearn for attention, seem to be in her eyes, and they are wiped out at this moment.
These ten years are like a drowsy and long dream. In the dream, he wears an ice-cold mask, his heart is like water, and he lives like a corpse.
It was like falling in the endless cold water with eyes closed.
The sun will not touch him, and the moon will not pity him.
But at this time, a faint starlight penetrated the sea surface and shone into the bottom of the sea.
It was the only light shining on him in the darkness that couldn't see the edge.
He doesn't fall any more.
He closed his eyes slightly and heard his own heartbeat.
He clearly knew, understood, understood—
I really planted myself.
Planted willingly, bowed his head and bowed his head.
.
In the end, Xie Xinglin insisted on not going to the hospital.
Su Qiuge had no choice but to take him home.
He was silent all the way. Su Qiuge sometimes felt that he was staring at him, but when he turned his head, he saw that he was looking down and didn't know what he was thinking.
So later she felt that it was her own illusion, that she thought too much.
Back at home, Su Qiuge was fortunate to find that the old wound on his arm was not severe, and it seemed that she could handle it.
Su Qiuge changed his shoes and found that the socks were also wet, so he took off the socks and put them on the shoe cabinet.
Then, she went barefoot to the cabinet to get the medicine box, and there were slight water stains in the places she walked.
Xie Xinglin's coat was mostly wet, and of course she was not much better. The rain was too heavy, and the raincoat was useless. Now the whole pink raincoat was sticking to her skin, and she was wet from the inside out. Over and over, the clothes were several times heavier and weighed heavily on him.
Su Qiuge brought the medicine box and put it on the coffee table in the living room. After walking a few steps, he couldn't help sneezing.
Su Qiuge talked to him before, but he ignored it.
This man seems to have been immersed in his own world.
After a while, he raised his eyes and stared at her for a while.
This made Su Qiuge feel a little inexplicable.
Xie Xinglin looked down at the medicine box, and finally opened his mouth slowly, "Go take a bath, and I will apply the medicine myself."
Su Qiuge breathed a sigh of relief. At first, she wondered if he was not feeling well to keep being so silent. It seems that he should be fine now.
Su Qiuge hesitated: "But..."
Xie Xinglin lifted his eyelids and said slowly, "Don't worry, I haven't given up, I can be self-reliant."
Su Qiuge: "..."
Halfway through speaking, Xie Xinglin looked up at her with a hint of inexplicable ambiguousness in his eyes, "Look at you, if something really happens to me, do you want to take care of me for the rest of your life?"
Su Qiuge: "..."
Okay, she's overthinking it.
This person is still in the mood to talk, and it seems that there is not much problem with his body.
But when her eyes fell on his coat, she changed her mouth again, "You change your clothes, take them to dry, and you can wear them when the rain stops."
After thinking for a while, she said hesitantly, "But I may not have clothes that you can wear here. I have a bathrobe, why don't you make do with it?"
She went to the closet to get the bathrobe for him, then sneezed again.
Only then did she realize that her legs were shaking.
She took a breath of cold air, "I'm going to take a bath first, you'll take the medicine yourself first."
Xie Xinglin glanced over her subconsciously, the girl was barefoot, her small and cute toes moved slightly, and the fair and delicate ankles went up.
The door of the bathroom was closed, although it was far from the living room, but for some reason, the faint sound of water in the bathroom seemed to fall on the apex of his heart.
He paused slightly as he applied the medicine, then raised his eyes and looked towards the bathroom. Through the frosted glass, you can see a little swaying shadow inside.
For some reason, at this moment, the image of the girl standing in the bathroom, her dress slipping off and hanging on her smooth and beautiful calf, appeared in his mind.
Thinking of this, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, and his throat felt a little dry.
He looked away immediately.
It's just that the sound of water coming from the bathroom wrapped around his ears like a hook, and the more he didn't think about it, the clearer it became.
There are even more and more indescribable images in my mind.
