"Card!"
Following Zou Yue's shout, Xia Rou and Wei Qi stopped to look at her.
"That... senior brother..." Zou Yue hesitated, and said, "I think you can... be more fierce, because you are really very angry at this time..."
"Oh..." Wei Qi just smiled, "I'm sorry..."
He said, "I know. But I can't bear to yell at such a cute girl."
Everyone laughed, thinking that Senior Brother Wei was joking.
Zou Yue also laughed, but it was a little unnatural.
"Do it again." When she said it, she couldn't help but glance at Xia Rou.
Only Xia Rou didn't smile. When everyone laughed, she lowered her eyes slightly and didn't look at Wei Qi.
But Wei Qi was looking at her.
Zou Yue looked at the way Wei Qi looked at Xia Rou, and her heart kept sinking...
She shouted: "Action!"
When Xia Rou heard it, she raised her head and looked at Wei Qi.
Under the bright light, the two looked at each other.
Wei Qi has a slender body and a handsome face. When looking at Xia Rou, her eyes are as bright as stars.
Others may not see it, but Zou Yue has liked Wei Qi for many years, and has never seen him look at any girl with such eyes.
After she yelled "action", they were supposed to start reading their lines, and it turned out...the two people looked at each other for several seconds...
Zou Yue's smile was a bit forced.
Xia Rou took a deep breath, and finally began to read her lines: "It's really not me! How could I do such a thing!" In the script, the female supporting role is a vicious bad woman who is good at disguising herself as Jiaohua. Her innocent and beautiful appearance is all fake.
But this girl is not, Wei Qi thought.
He walked into the rehearsal room, and when he saw her for the first time, there was only a clean breath on her body. Delicate, pure, as if budding.
But there is such a pair of affectionate eyes. Just looking at him, it seems that there are countless emotions surging.
Why did she look so dazed when she saw him? There is still a moment of panic and confusion
Wei Qi didn't believe in love at first sight before.
But at this moment, he really hoped that Xia Rou would look at him the same way he looked at her. With just one glance, you are attracted. I can't see anyone else, I can't hear anyone else. When he made eye contact with her for the first time in his life, he could only see this girl who was as soft and beautiful as a flower petal.
So, the way she looked at him...would it also...also...
Wei Qi really wanted to show Xia Rou a big smile.
But he knew that if he was called to stop again, even Xia Rou would be dragged down. I can only restrain my somewhat flying, somewhat messy and apprehensive thoughts, and devote myself to the script. With a serious expression, he scolded sharply: "You don't want to deceive me again! I have seen through your hypocrisy for a long time!"
…
Xia Rou is just a female supporting role and doesn't have many roles. After her role is over, nothing happens.
But Wei Qi is different, he is the first male, and he is present in almost every scene. After all his rehearsals were over, he looked around again, only to find that Xia Rou was nowhere to be seen.
In my heart, I feel lost.
"Brother, you've worked hard!" Zou Yue walked over and handed him a glass of warm water. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, as if the heating in the room was too hot.
But no. She's just nervous. She has been secretly in love with him for six years, and she still feels so nervous every time she talks to him.
She summoned up her courage: "Brother, let's have lunch together, I'll treat you."
Wei Qi declined politely: "I have something to do in the afternoon, so I have to leave early."
"That's good... I'll see you off." Zou Yue said disappointedly.
She put on her coat and sent Wei Qi to the school gate.
The two chatted casually about the script, today's rehearsal, and everyone's acting skills, where can we improve...
Only Xia Rou was not mentioned.
Wei Qi didn't ask any more questions. He really couldn't wait to know everything about Xia Rou, but he thought that next time, or in the future, he would ask her in person.
No need to ask from others.
Zou Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
After he said goodbye to her, he got into a taxi and left. She stood at the school gate and watched for a long time.
On Sunday, Cao Yang went to the reading room to release books, and found Xia Rou hugging a cup of hot tea, curled up on the window sill in a daze.
The sunlight through the window made the edges of her cheeks transparent, and faint blue blood vessels could be seen faintly. It looks delicate, fragile.
"What are you doing?" He tapped her head with the book.
Xia Rou almost spilled the tea. Fortunately, Cao Yang reacted quickly and grabbed the teacup with her hand.
"Why are you in a daze?" He was dissatisfied.
Xia Rou sighed: "Thinking about the future."
"future?"
"Yeah." Xia Rou hugged the teacup and blew, "Go to college, graduate, work, and then get married."
Hearing "marriage", Cao Yang raised his eyebrows: "It's a long way to go."
"Sooner or later. Time will pass." Xia Rou looked at the dust in the sun.
Indeed, the fastest loss is time. In the blink of an eye, it has been almost four years since she was reborn.
She raised her head and looked at Cao Yang: "I have to get married sooner or later, it is impossible to live here forever."
Cao Yang was slightly taken aback.
In the beginning, his arrangement for her was to raise her until she reached adulthood, then give her some money, and let her marry and live her own life.
But he didn't know when, he never thought about it again. He hasn't even thought about it for a long time, Xia Rou...will leave here sooner or later.
When Xia Rou brought up this fact by himself, his heart... suddenly felt uncomfortable.
"Unconscionable thing!" He knocked her on the head again, and cursed bitterly, "Is it easy to pull you up with shit and piss? You want to get married right now!"
Xia Rou let out an "ouch", rubbed her head, and protested, "Where did you come from? I was already fifteen when I came here! Fifteen!"
"Did you have a boyfriend?" Cao Yang asked with a straight face.
Cao Yang was actually teasing her casually, but Xia Rou fell silent...
Cao Yang paused for a moment before saying, "Are you really friends?"
"No." Xia Rou denied.
"No, why didn't you deny it just now?" Cao Yang said angrily. Then asked again: "How old are you? Which major? How old are you? What do you do at home?"
"Have you already said it!" Xia Rou was powerless.
Cao Yang didn't believe it.
"Really not!" Xia Rou was almost betting the sky.
Cao Yang snorted and knocked her on the head again: "Remember to report when you are in love. No sneaking around."
This time it was knocked hard, and Xia Rou really hurt.
"I hate it!" Xia Rou covered her head with tears in her eyes, "It hurts!" She has been sensitive since she was a child, and she is most afraid of pain.
Cao Yang's heart softened. I don't know why, but when he sees Xia Rou, his heart always softens. When I was young, I used the belt to whip my younger brothers so hard that I didn't know where it went.
He pressed her head: "Don't move, I'll show you..."
It's like coaxing a child, really blowing it up for her.
What a boyfriend! What kind of marriage! How wonderful it would be if he could stay here forever and be coaxed by the elder brother like a child forever!
Xia Rou's tears almost fell down.
But she knew that was impossible. It is impossible for her to stay at Cao's house forever. The Cao family has given her too much, she shouldn't be greedy anymore!
As for Cao Yang, sooner or later he will get married and have a wife. Even if it wasn't Wang Man, any other woman would probably not like having someone like her in the family.
As for her, she knew that neither Cao Xiong nor Cao Yang would allow her to be single. They will probably be at ease only if she is married safely.
Xia Rou unexpectedly thought of Liang Zihuan and Wei Qi... and couldn't help being upset.
"Really crying?"
Cao Yang's low voice rang in his ears.
The powerful big hand turned her chin, and she saw him leaning slightly, his face very close to hers. Close enough to feel the heat of his breath.
His dark eyes stared at her, seeming to be joking.
She felt like being caught, she slapped his hand away, stared and said, "I hate you!"
Jumped off the window sill and ran away holding the teacup.
I heard Cao Yang shouting behind her: "I really didn't try hard..."
Nose is more sour...
After Xia Rou ran away, Cao Yang threw the book in his hand on the windowsill and lit a cigarette.
He is tall, sitting on the window sill, with his long legs sticking to the ground. Unlike Xia Rou, if you sit on it, you can't reach the floor.
When he was only a few years old, he began to think about getting married, he thought a little sadly. He is "so old" that he hasn't thought about getting married yet.
But he knew that even if he didn't want to now, in the future, sooner or later, this matter was destined to happen. The little girl who was thin and weak when she first came here will grow up sooner or later and leave this house.
When he thought of what was bound to happen in the future, he couldn't help feeling a little sad.
It can be seen, probably... there is a boy he likes.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have kept silent when he mentioned "boyfriend" for the first time, and didn't deny it immediately. If she didn't pay attention, she would have grown up to... the age to have a boyfriend...
Cao Yang exhaled a long puff of white smoke. The smoke curled up and drifted away, blending with the dust floating in the air.
The sun shone on his back, and his face was in shadow.
Against the light, silently smoking...
In the last rehearsal, Wei Qi still couldn't find a chance to talk to Xia Rou alone. Because as the male number one, he is too busy.
But every time he called to stop, he would immediately search for her with his eyes.
The girl was always at the back of the crowd, but he knew that she... had been watching him.
Her eyes were not as eager as Zou Yue's, with clear admiration and shyness unique to young girls. Her eyes were indifferent and calm, and sometimes she even looked at him, but she began to be lost in thought.
When she was awakened by people or voices around her, she would look at him again and then look away.
Wei Qi felt that last time he might have been self-indulgent. That girl probably didn't fall in love at first sight like he did for her.
But, at least, she's paying attention to him, isn't she
It's good that she pays attention to him instead of not paying attention at all.
Wei Qi's eyes brightened up, and the corners of his mouth curved up unconsciously. It's only been a year since I left campus, and I still have the vigor and vitality of a student.
I feel that no matter what it is, as long as you actively and proactively strive for it and work hard, there will definitely be rewards.
New Year's Day is coming soon.
Xia Rou told Cao Yang that she was going to perform on New Year's Day. She was embarrassed to say anything else. Because Cao Yang is usually very busy at this time.
However, if leaving in the future cannot be changed, she always hopes to let Cao Yang participate in her life more and keep more memories.
How could Cao Yang fail to see what she didn't say, and felt funny in his heart.
Let's say she hasn't grown up, she is already curvy and charming like a woman. Say she has grown up, this mind... still looks like a child begging for candy.
But it's also possible... just like a child in front of him. Thinking of this, his mood was like the sunlight coming in through the window. On the contrary, he only said: "Come on, act well."
Xia Rou was a little disappointed, she lowered her head slightly: "Busy on New Year's Day?"
"Yeah." Cao Yang nodded solemnly, "There are activities in the army during the day, and dinner at night, so it's very busy."
Seeing the girl Pianzi walk away with one shoulder bleak, the corners of Cao Yang's mouth slightly curled up.
So on New Year's Day, people who were standing behind in the school's small theater because there were no seats, turned around occasionally and saw a tall officer in a black overcoat, leaning against the wall.
Looking at the stage with a smile.
