In Qingcheng in June, a taxi drove past on the main road in the city center under the shadow of the plane trees on both sides.
In the car, the driver's eyes fell on the girl in the rearview mirror.
"Little girl, are you a student of No. 1 Middle School?"
“…”
Qin Qing, who was looking out the window, blinked and returned to the car.
The denial that was about to blurt out was suppressed. Qin Qing lowered her head and glanced at the uniform of No. 1 Middle School she was wearing. The unfamiliar feeling made her lower her eyes helplessly.
"I'm a transfer here, so I'm going to get familiar with the environment first."
"Ah, that's pretty awesome. No. 1 Middle School is the key point."
The driver said this, and when he saw that the girl in the back seat only responded softly, looking like she didn't want to talk in depth, he stopped talking.
Driving in the opposite direction, passing the noisy and laughing students, the taxi finally stopped at the parking lot of No. 1 Middle School.
The petite girl opened the door and stepped out of the car.
It was already twelve o'clock at noon, and the students who had finished school had already left. Only a few people who left school late could be seen, and they had not had time to leave.
Qin Qing put on her baseball cap and walked to the big pine tree outside the school.
She took out her mobile phone and dialed a number according to her mother's previous instructions.
"Hello, Teacher Sun... Yes, I'm Qin Qing. I'm already outside the school."
"...Okay, I'll wait for you here."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Qing let out a breath.
Well, fortunately, the notoriously scary dean of No. 1 Middle School is not as scary as the rumors say.
After waiting for a while, Qin Qing lowered her eyes in boredom, and her eyes fell on her small round-toed leather shoes.
After a few seconds, a soft smile appeared on her face.
—
In any case, as the most famous private school in Qingcheng, No. 1 Middle School is much prettier than No. 3 Middle School in terms of uniforms.
A shirt, a small suit, and a plaid skirt and small leather shoes. Even if they have to wear school uniforms to school every day, students should be very happy.
Qin Qing was thinking this when she raised her eyes inadvertently and saw two boys wearing shirts and baggy jeans walking out of the school.
Not wearing school uniform.
One of them was dyed yellow.
Qin Qing was stunned.
It's a middle school, but the school spirit of the first division is so free and open
Then she turned her attention elsewhere—
Except for these two special cases, all other students were wearing school uniforms and ties.
While Qin Qing was lost in thought, the two boys had already left the school gate and were walking in this direction, stopping not far in front of her.
Among them, the black-haired boy stood for a while, looked at his watch, turned his face in confusion and asked: "Brother Yu, what happened at noon today?"
The man with yellow hair next to him answered: "Don't you know? As soon as the monthly exam results come out, Lao Fu will leave Brother Yu in the office to criticize and educate me again."
"oh… "
The black-haired one nodded, paused for two seconds, laughed "hehe" twice, and winked at Huang Mao, "I thought Qi Lulu didn't give up, and Brother Layu went to the woods."
"You think it's strange," Huang Mao frowned, "Qi Lulu is good-looking and has a good figure. Most importantly, her temper and eyes are very interesting. What does Brother Yu dislike about her?"
The other one shook his head, "I don't like her even if you want me - if you really get along with her like this, I can give you a Hu/Lun/Be/Er prairie in the blink of an eye."
"You don't like her?"
Huang Mao glanced sideways at his companion, "I'm afraid you don't even have a chance to be a piece of cow poop on that prairie."
"Fuck! Zhao Zirui! I'll kill you for being such an arrogant person!"
The black-haired man was immediately furious, and he was about to chase him, but before he could actually make any move, he was stopped by a voice not far away——
"Li Xiang! What are you doing again!"
The two boys stopped fighting and looked at the person together.
"Oh, Director Sun -" Li Xiang grinned, pressed Zhao Zirui's yellow-haired head and bowed together with him, "Director Sun, I wish you a happy life!"
“…”
Sun Xing's mouth twitched, "Why aren't you two wearing school uniforms?"
"We're dressed!"
Li Xiang looked like he had been greatly aggrieved, and reached out to pick up the shirt on his upper body, "It is absolutely of the highest quality. If you don't believe me, I will take it off and show it to you. The trademark is still inside!"
With that said, Li Xiang prepared to strip off his clothes in the street.
Qin Qing, who was watching the excitement from the sidelines, was startled and took a step back reflexively.
Behind her heel was a can. She accidentally stepped on it, and the obvious sound made Sun Xing and the two boys turn their heads.
Qin Qing came back to her senses and saw Sun Xing looking at her with a frown. She thought he didn't recognize him, so she reached out and took off his baseball cap.
"Teacher Sun."
“…”
The eyes of the two boys on the side lit up.
Standing in the shade of the tree was a short little girl, wearing a junior high school uniform and a plaid skirt that stretched out her slender waist. She was fair-looking, with bright eyes on her palm-sized face, a rosy mouth, and delicate facial features. It looks like it was drawn with a pen.
The girl seemed to be frightened before, but now her eyes looked a little innocent when she looked at them, and her cheeks on both sides were also pink.
"Oh, it's Qin Qing." As soon as Sun Xing saw the girl's face clearly, his expression immediately softened and he put on a smile, "Let's go, I'll take you to your class teacher."
Qin Qing responded, put on her baseball cap again, and walked to Sun Xing.
Sun Xing raised his eyes, the smile on his face dropped, and he looked at the two boys angrily: "I'll deal with you next time."
After saying that, Sun Xing turned around and left, and Qin Qing followed.
After entering the school gate, Sun Xing was still telling Qin Qing: "If you see people like this who don't wear school uniforms, stay away from them - these bad boys love to bully classmates."
Qin Qing thought about the conversation she heard before and the evaluation of a certain girl in it, and her cheeks turned red.
Well, you should really stay away...
She nodded seriously.
"Um."
Under the pine tree outside the school gate, the two boys were silent for a while.
"Damn, she's so cute—" Li Xiang seemed to suddenly wake up and patted the yellow fur next to him, "I fell in love at first sight!"
Zhao Zirui grimaced at the slap, and after regaining his composure, he gave Li Xiang a vicious look: "It's love at first sight every day, but you forget about it within seven seconds. Are you a goldfish?"
"... Damn it, Zhao Zirui, stop using this mouth of yours now. I'll tear it apart for you!"
Just as Li Xiang was about to pounce, his cell phone rang in his pocket.
Li Xiang took it out and took a look, frowning.
"Brother Yu said that Lao Fu doesn't want to let him go for a while, so he asked us to go first."
Zhao Zirui also frowned: "The people at No. 3 Middle School are always thinking about scheming against him during this period. Send a text message to Brother Yu to tell him."
"Okay," Li Xiang agreed, and typed a text message as he said: "If you change the boss, you won't know what your last name is. Those grandsons are really overestimating their abilities. If Brother Yu hadn't asked me to stir up trouble, I really want to bring a few A brother goes and beats them up."
… …
It was already half past twelve when Qin Qing left No. 1 Middle School after familiarizing herself with the new environment.
Fulinyuan, where grandma's house is located, is not far from No. 1 Middle School, so Qin Qing stopped calling a taxi and walked towards grandma's house.
After walking about half the distance, Qin Qing regretted it.
—This was her first time walking this section of the road. She originally thought there would be no problem, but now it looks like... she seems a little lost.
Qin Qing stopped hesitantly.
She looked at the alley in front of her, then shifted her gaze to the entrance of the alley in front of her. She wavered for a while, still not sure which one it was.
After struggling, Qin Qing decided to call her grandma and ask her.
However, after listening to "Dedicated to Alice" for 45 seconds, Qin Qing could not wait for the sound of connecting.
According to the degree of grandma's hearing loss, she must not be wearing a hearing aid...
Qin Qing pursed her lips and dialed the number to her mother.
This time it didn't ring for 45 seconds - the number was simply turned off.
"We are in a meeting again..."
Qin Qing couldn't help but wrinkled her little nose, squatted down next to the convenience store next to the alley, and looked down at the corgi lying on the ground in front of her, basking in the sun.
Looking at that appearance, he is really more leisurely than himself.
Qin Qing sighed.
"Little Short Legs, which way do you think I should take to get to Fulin Garden?"
“…”
Corgi's ears twitched and he raised his head to look at Qin Qing. But after making sure she didn't have anything to feed, it lay back down without hesitation.
In the middle, he turned around and stuck out his tail and round butt to Qin Qing.
Qin Qing was not depressed and continued to tease:
"Little Short Legs, if I ask you to lead the way, won't I get home until noon tomorrow?"
This time Corgi still didn't respond.
A low laugh came from above Qin Qing's head.
She was so engrossed in "chatting" with little Corgi that Qin Qing didn't notice anyone coming out of the convenience store next to her.
After hearing the laughter, her face turned slightly red, and she raised her head to look in the direction of the laughter.
There was a boy standing on the steps of the convenience store, wearing the uniform of the high school section of No. 1 Middle School.
It was obviously a uniform suit shirt and trousers, but it only made this boy look wider in the shoulders, narrow in waist, and long in the legs. Probably because he was outside the school, the buttons of his lapel suit were unbuttoned, and his tie was loosened a little, hanging in front of him, giving him a somewhat lazy and casual look.
Looking up further, this man has handsome features, sharp eyebrows and sharp nose. He is holding a cigarette lazily, and his thin lips are slightly curved.
The deepest and most attractive pair of black eyes looked at Qin Qing with a smile but not a smile.
"Take that way."
The boy raised his arm and pointed his slender and beautiful hand at the alley in front of him.
Qin Qing: "..."
Had a great conversation with a Corgi and was heard all the time...
Although she felt that she had lost all the face she had saved for three years in junior high school, Qin Qing stood up and pursed her lips.
"Thank you, senior."
After saying that, Qin Qing didn't have the nerve to stay any longer, so she turned around and walked towards the alley ahead.
After walking for a while into the alley, Qin Qing noticed that there seemed to be slow footsteps following behind her.
She paused warily and turned her head to look over.
Perhaps her gaze was too sharp. The person walking behind was stared at by her, and then he looked up from the mobile phone in his left hand.
After a second's pause, the boy understood and raised his thin lips:
"This is the same journey."
—It was the boy who showed her the way before.
“…”
Qin Qing quickly turned around, feeling extremely embarrassed and her ears were slightly hot, and she even sped up her pace.
When walking out of this alley, Qin Qing's eyes swept across both sides unintentionally, and she saw a few arrogant young people leaning on the wall at the entrance of the alley.
The person closest to her glanced at her unkindly, but when he saw the blue tie representing the junior high school, he looked away.
Qin Qing felt strange for a moment. After walking more than ten meters, her footsteps suddenly stopped.
Then Qin Qing turned around.
Sure enough, the young men who had just been waiting at the entrance of the alley had already formed a half circle and were blocking the boy who was walking behind her.
Qin Qing's heart tightened.
... Are these the students who "don't wear school uniforms" and "like to bully their classmates the most" the dean said
Qin Qing clenched her hands and wanted to leave quickly, but after taking a few steps, her steps became smaller and smaller.
Until it stops.
Just now I was pointed out the way, and now I run away like this, it seems that it is not the way to be a human being.
Qin Qing stood there in distress, thinking with a wrinkled face.
At this moment, a taxi not far away drove towards us. Qin Qing's eyes lit up and she quickly reached out to hail the taxi.
The car stopped on the side of the road. Qin Qing opened the back seat door and said hello politely to the driver in the front seat.
"Uncle, can you wait for half a minute? I'll ask my brother to get in the car. I'll pay you double the waiting fee no matter where you go."
The driver agreed.
Qin Qing did not close the car door. She turned around and patted her chest gently for a frightened heartbeat. After steadying her breathing, she quickly ran towards the alley.
A few young men here were staring fiercely. In front of them, a boy was holding a cigarette and laughing lazily, standing there with his hands in his trouser pockets.
This look made those young people even more angry. The leader gritted his teeth: "You are that Wen Yufeng—"
"elder brother!"
A sweet voice sounded behind several people. Several young people, including the boys surrounded, were startled and looked towards the source of the sound.
The slender and beautiful girl took this moment to pass through the young people and ran in front of the boy.
The top of his head barely reaches the boy's shoulders.
Realizing the height difference, Qin Qing's smile froze for a moment, but within two seconds she raised her face and smiled sweetly. Her eyes were slightly curved into crescents, looking cute and cute. She took the boy's arm and shook it -
"Brother, dad and mom are already waiting for us in the car. We have to have dinner together at noon. It's almost too late."
After speaking, Qin Qing blinked quickly at the boy.
Then she turned her upper body back and waved towards the roadside at the entrance of the alley—
"Dad, we are here."
Several young people instinctively turned around and looked towards the roadside -
There was only one taxi with the door open.
Before that, as soon as Qin Qing saw the young men turning away their eyes, she immediately grabbed the boy's arm, exerted all her strength, and ran past two of the young men while dragging the boy with her without saying a word.
By the time the young people reacted, the two of them had already run a few meters away.
"What are you stunned for? Stop it!" the leader shouted angrily.
Several young people quickly chased after him.
Fortunately, it was not too far away from the roadside. Qin Qing pushed the boy into the car, quickly jumped into the car, and slammed the door.
"Uncle, drive quickly!"
The driver stepped on the accelerator and stepped out.
The extremely angry young people ran after him for more than ten meters and then stopped behind him, falling further and further behind.
In the car, Qin Qing turned back from lying on the back seat, let out a long breath, and sat down with lingering fear.
"… 'elder brother'?"
The boy next to her suddenly spoke, his voice a little teasing, but also low and pleasant.
It was only then that Qin Qing came back to her senses and remembered that there was someone beside her.
Before Qin Qing could think of a reply, the mobile phone in her school uniform pocket rang.
Qin Qing looked at the caller ID and was stunned for a moment before picking up the phone: "Manxue?"
As soon as the phone was picked up, a voice exploded from the receiver -
"Xiao Qing, I heard that you are going to transfer to No.1 Middle School?!"
The volume made the driver and the boy next to him look at each other at the same time. Qin Qing was used to Lin Manxue's whining. At this time, she could only helplessly move her phone to the other side and apologize to the people next to her. nodded.
Then she looked away.
"... That's what my parents meant. Next month my mother is going to work in other provinces and asked me to move to my grandma's house. If I don't transfer to another school, it will be too far away from my grandma's house."
"Your grandma's house, oh - is it the Fulin Garden with a beautiful environment?"
"Yes. Because No. 1 Normal Middle School is much closer to Fulinyuan, my mother asked me to transfer to the junior high school, and then to the high school."
"...The senior high school section of No. 1 Normal Middle School??"
Lin Manxue raised her voice again.
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"Then don't you have a chance to meet that brutally handsome school bully from No. 1 Middle School?!"
With this explosion, the boy sitting next to Qin Qing froze.
The curve of his thin lips was a bit mocking, and he turned to look over.
"…'terribly handsome'?"
Not noticing the reaction of the people next to her, Qin Qing laughed out loud, and the corners of her eyes softly bent down.
"Lin Manxue, you used this word so well that the Chinese teacher is going to beat you up."
"That's because you've never seen him before - he's so handsome! The school idol from No. 3 Middle School would be turned into a scumbag in a second compared to him..."
Lin Manxue said this, then hesitated for a moment before completing the second half of the sentence.
"But I heard that he always smokes, fights, skips classes, and goes to bars. His academic performance is very poor, and he always turns in blank papers."
There was still a hint of smile in Qin Qing's eyes: "Are you just hearing this?"
"No, at least he is really good at fighting! A group of people blocked him before No. 3 Middle School, and he beat him to a pulp all by himself. Some of them stayed in the hospital for two weeks! There is no way to do this. Who will let them Look for trouble by yourself, just think about it and you will feel relieved hahaha... "
Qin Qing felt helpless and couldn't help teasing Lin Manxue: "I'm so happy to hear you say that. Do you like him?"
"How can it be?!"
The laughter suddenly stopped, and Lin Manxue immediately became furious. After a few seconds, she added consciously and guiltily: "Although he is indeed very handsome, I heard that he has had several girlfriends, but not Knowing the truth and lies... Well, Qin Qing, you should stay away from him in the future."
"Don't worry, how could I have anything to do with him?"
Hearing this, the boy sitting next to him raised his eyebrows and raised his thin lips into an arc that looked like a smile but not a smile.
Without noticing, Qin Qing raised her eyes and saw Fulin Yuan approaching gradually outside the car window, and responded hurriedly.
"I'm getting off the bus right now. We'll talk later."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Qing hurriedly spoke to the driver: "Uncle, just stop at Fulin Garden ahead."
The driver stepped on the brakes, and the car traveled about ten meters and stopped.
Qin Qing took out twenty yuan, put it in the boy's hand, opened the door and got out of the car.
Before closing the car door, Qin Qing stopped for a moment. The little excitement brought about by "surviving the disaster" had not dissipated, and Qin Qing couldn't help but come up with some ideas.
… Anyway, she shouldn’t see him again, right
Thinking of this, Qin Qing felt relieved, opened the car door and smiled sweetly at the boy, her voice was soft -
"I'll go home first, see you in the evening, brother!"
After saying that, Qin Qing slammed the car door and ran away.
In the car, the driver looked at the boy in the rearview mirror strangely: "Where are you going?"
The lingering sound of "see you in the evening" rolled around in his heart. Wen Yufeng slowly looked away, his expression returning to his usual laziness.
"Go back to where you got in the car."
"Are you two siblings teasing me?"
As soon as the driver complained, he was stabbed by the cold eyes of the boy in the back seat. He instinctively shrank his neck and started to find a place to turn around.
After a while, the car stopped and Wen Yufeng paid and got off.
Zhao Zirui and others, who seemed to have been waiting on the roadside for a while, came over quickly.
"Brother Yu, didn't you say that the grandsons from No. 3 Middle School came to block you? Why didn't you see anyone?"
“…”
The girl's sweet smile flashed through Wen Yufeng's mind.
"There was an accident and I was 'rescued' by a girl from the junior high school."
Li Xiang's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he walked carelessly in front of Wen Yufeng, laughing -
"Brother Yu, don't you also have a crush on a girl from the junior high school?"
"… roll."
After pausing for two seconds, Wen Yufeng lowered his eyes and fell on the twenty-yuan note in his hand.
A little light penetrated the deep black eyes.
After a moment, he lifted his thin lips with a half-smile and glanced across the room.
"Everyone in the junior high school is worried about me. Do you think I'm a beast like you?"
