The good mood of the lunch break did not last long, because the results of the weekly test in the afternoon came out.
After Tao Xi got the paper, he calculated the total score, because he didn't know where he was because he didn't have the ranking, but he knew that he was 20 points less than Bi Chengfei.
Bi Chengfei is a group of tail flickers, so he must be thrown away.
This made Tao Xi very shocked. He hid the papers and did not dare to let Lin Qinhe see them, although Lin Qinhe was definitely not interested in reading his papers.
After returning to the dormitory in the evening, he was forced to watch a performance by the Yin-Yang master Xu Ziqi.
"The results are indeed coming out... No ranking, it must be the first of the second class... After I asked, it was 5 points higher than Bi Chengfei, who was at the bottom of the first class... There shouldn't be a problem in the middle of the semester... I already said that the last time at the end was just a mistake, you guys What are you in a hurry for…”
@BI Chengfei, did you put your grades on the bulletin board
Pan Yan was painting, and the little fat man rolled his eyes well, and said to Tao Xi, "Tao Xi, help me to see, is my painting too thick? Why does it feel thicker than some human skins?"
Tao Xi felt that if he stayed in this dormitory again, he would not be far from becoming a hermaphrodite.
At noon the next day, Tao Xi still used the fastest speed to finish his lunch and ran to the classroom. There was still only a ghost-like Huang Qing in the classroom.
Sitting in his seat, he reverently took out the questions that Lin Qinhe had assigned to him yesterday from the new document bag he bought with his teeth. Every piece of paper was smooth and without traces. Even if he has a good memory, he will never forget it.
Five minutes, ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes…
Tao Xi had already taken out his papers and started to study. If there was any sound from the back door, he would turn his head to look at the door, but it was never the same person who opened the door and came in.
It was not until two minutes before class in the afternoon that Tao Xi saw Lin Qinhe coming in through the front door. The light in his eyes instantly lit up, but in a blink of an eye he saw Yang Duole who came in behind Lin Qinhe, holding a hand in one hand. A half-drinking cup of milk tea, holding a teaching aid book in the other hand.
Tao Xi quickly lowered his head and continued to work on the problem in front of him with a pen.
He knew that he was daydreaming, but he expected that Lin Qinhe would return to the classroom early during the lunch break like yesterday to help him with his homework.
Sometimes, like now, the malice in his heart would suddenly grow wildly, shouting loudly in his heart:
Explode it all! Take back everything that belongs to you! This should be yours!
But he knew that he might be able to regain his superior family background, regain the attention of his relatives, and regain the origin that should belong to him.
But he couldn't get Lin Qinhe back.
He couldn't get back the relationship that Lin Qinhe and Yang Duole grew up with. After all, he wanted to steal Yang Duole even in his dreams, but stealing was stealing, and only when he came to taste it, he knew it was bitter.
He doesn't have to have a good background. From the beginning to the end, he only wants one Lin Qinhe.
Yes, Tao Xi wants Lin Qinhe.
He still didn't know what the method was, but this voice grew louder and stronger in his heart, whistling through the mountains and seas, and even if he closed his mouth and didn't say it, it would definitely come out from his eyes.
So when Lin Qinhe pulled out the chair beside him and sat down as usual, he didn't dare to pretend to look aside unintentionally and look at the people next to him as usual.
He just kept his head down writing papers.
After that day, Tao Xi would still return to the classroom very quickly at noon, but he would no longer hope that the people beside him would come back earlier, and the fact was that he did not.
When the physical education class was free, Bi Chengfei wanted to pull him to play basketball again, but Tao Xi refused, and took the materials to find a place to study.
Many benches in the rest area were occupied by girls. He walked to the only milk tea shop in the school. It was not like a cottage milk tea shop with two or three square meters in Qingshui County. This milk tea shop was very large and had two floors. , The decoration style is very girly.
Tao Xi thought of the milk tea and teaching aids that Yang Duole held in his hand that day. Maybe he was tutored by Lin Qinhe in this milk tea shop. Lin Qinhe would definitely dislike this style of place.
Tao Xi walked into the milk tea shop unconsciously. Even the walls were light pink and light blue. Like a coffee shop, there were many semi-closed booths. Most of the girls were eating desserts and chatting.
The store manager is a woman in her early forties. She looks kind and amiable. He smiled at him when he saw the newcomer.
Tao Xi regretted coming in, because he glanced at the menu above the checkout counter, and the price after a long list of milk tea names was just a few dozen.
Tao Xi had no choice but to smile at the store manager embarrassedly, and turned around to leave, but when he turned around a semi-closed booth, he heard a familiar voice.
"Didn't you still have a crush on Tao Xi before, but people don't care about you at all?" A girl chuckled, and Tao Xi thought about it. She is the representative of the Chinese class who often walks with Jiang Xinyun, called Zhang Mengtong, who also praised He writes well.
"Who has a crush on him?" It was Jiang Xinyun's voice, which was very high and eager to deny.
"Don't you pass a note to let him be your tablemate, and now you don't admit that you like him." Zhang Mengtong said.
"I didn't! I... how could I possibly like someone from the countryside?"
A girl laughed, it seemed to be Chen Yachun, and said, "I couldn't figure it out at the time. Xinyun's eyes have always been very high, how could she be interested in rural men? You must know that no matter how good you are from the countryside, the rural thinking is It can't be changed."
"Yeah, no matter how good-looking you are, you will be a typical Phoenix man in the future. If you marry him, Xinyun, he will definitely cheat after borrowing your Jiang family's prosperity." Zhang Mengtong pretended to be an old man.
"The more you talk, the farther you go!"? Jiang Xinyun was a little annoyed.
"However, Tao Xi is quite strange. It stands to reason that in our school, if a girl likes him, anyone with vision and ambition should seize this opportunity, and maybe they will cross the class." Chen Yachun said.
"What if one likes a noble and glamorous type like Jin Jing?" Zhang Mengtong said with a smile.
"Don't provoke me and Jingjing! Jin Jing only likes Lin Qinhe." Jiang Xinyun scolded.
"So what, Lin Qinhe doesn't look down on her."? Chen Yachun chuckled, with a contemptuous tone.
"Okay, I know who you like." Zhang Mengtong smiled at Chen Yachun.
Tao Xi was standing behind a hollow wall with pink wallpaper in the booth at the time, so he could hear it clearly. He half-drooped his eyelashes and sneered silently, not intending to break the discussion of the group of girls.
When I was in Shimizu, no matter what, I always fought with men, and it was enough to get others to convince them. I never got involved with girls.
What can he do without hitting, rushing over and scolding them? Only humiliation.
Tao Xi was about to leave when he suddenly heard a girl's voice abruptly say, "Your tutor is to tell you right and wrong behind your back?"
"Yo, the second grader who is dumb for ten thousand years has done justice. Why, this is your shop, so we can't talk?" Chen Yachun's voice was sour.
"We have done a lot of business for your mother, are you chasing customers?" Zhang Mengtong smiled and drank a sip of milk tea.
Huang Qing looked at the three girls coldly. Not far away, her mother was giving her a wink. She was speechless and turned to walk outside the milk tea shop, but when she turned the booth, she bumped into Tao Xi.
She was startled and wanted to open her mouth subconsciously, when she saw Tao Xi stretched out her index finger and made a "shush" action.
The two walked silently outside the milk tea shop. Tao Xi looked at the pale girl with a neat ponytail, smiled and said, "Thank you just now, but I don't need it in the future, lest they isolate you for this."
He knows what it feels like to be isolated, and it doesn't feel bad at all.
Huang Qing said blankly: "What's the matter, wasn't I isolated long ago?"
Tao Xi thought for a moment that Huang Qing was really alone in her impression. When she was about to say goodbye and leave, she heard Huang Qing say, "Tao Xi, don't listen to them, I think you are very good."
Tao Xi was stunned for a moment. To be honest, he had spoken to many of his classmates after so long in school, but he was completely unfamiliar with this person.
He smiled slightly, with a sincere smile: "Thank you."
He was especially grateful because he received very little kindness.
After Tao Xi finished speaking, he planned to leave, for fear of running into those girls and embarrassed, but saw Lin Qinhe and Yang Duole coming this way, perhaps to accompany Yang Duole to buy milk tea.
He paused in his footsteps, and after thinking about it, he still smiled at Lin Qinhe.
But Lin Qinhe didn't look at him at all, and went straight into the milk tea shop with Yang Duole. Instead, Yang Duole smiled at him and beckoned.
Tao Xi was slightly startled, he felt that Lin Qinhe seemed to be more indifferent than when he first saw him on the first day of school.
Immediately afterwards, he suddenly realized that since Lin Qinhe said "I will listen" to him on the day of the club activity that day, he seemed to have lost his initial indifference.
Although there is still no expression, and he does not take the initiative to speak to him, but it seems that he no longer refuses to keep him thousands of miles away, so that he does not dare to approach.
But Lin Qinhe just now made him feel disgusted.
Yes, it is disgust.
He finally remembered that on the day of school, when Zhou Qiang asked him to sit next to Lin Qinhe, Lin Qinhe looked at him when he directly refused.
At that time, he was dazed by being able to sit next to Lin Qinhe, and he didn't understand the meaning of that look at all.
That look was clearly the same disgust in Lin Qinhe's eyes when he told Lin Qinhe that there were roses in the drawer.
Tao Xi took a deep breath. Maybe the air-conditioning in the milk tea shop was too cold just now. He suddenly felt a little cold in his hands. After saying goodbye to Huang Qing, he left the milk tea shop.
Yang Duole walked into the milk tea shop and looked at Lin Qinhe next to him, and said in surprise, "Brother Qinhe, didn't you never enter here before? Why did you come in today?"
Ninety percent of the customers in this milk tea shop are girls. If it wasn’t for Yang Duole’s love for milk tea, he wouldn’t be very willing to enter such a girly milk tea shop, and Lin Qinhe stayed away. He never stepped into this door. He wanted to let Lin Qinhe help him with his homework here. Lin Qinhe would rather stand on the playground than come in.
Lin Qinhe really looked a little uncomfortable. The sweet and greasy smell of the store made him frown, and he stood not far from the door and didn't go inside.
He didn't answer Yang Duole's question, and urged in a deep voice, "Go buy it and leave quickly."
Some girls who were drinking milk tea chatting quietly looked at Lin Qinhe as if they had discovered a new world, lowered their heads and bit their ears to discuss in a low voice.
Yang Duole noticed that Lin Qinhe's mood suddenly turned bad. Although Lin Qinhe always had an expressionless face, as a friend of more than 16 years, he knew exactly how Lin Qinhe was in his mood.
He wisely said nothing, and walked quickly to the front desk.
Lin Qinhe stood there, raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, then looked out of the glass door. The two who were chatting at the door just now disappeared. He was about to turn around and walk out the door, when he happened to meet Jiang Xinyun, Zhang Mengtong and Chen Yachun.
The three girls were a little surprised when they saw Lin Qinhe. Zhang Mengtong quietly poked Chen Yachun next to him. Chen Yachun paused, looked up at Lin Qinhe, and gave him a smile. When she smiled, she would reveal two dimples. It's the most beautiful expression she thinks of herself.
Chen Yachun never expected Lin Qinhe to respond to him, but Lin Qinhe actually looked at her, but before she had time to be happy, her heart sank quickly.
Lin Qinhe only glanced at her, then turned and walked out of the store.
But in addition to the usual indifference, there was also clear disgust in that look, so clearly that even if she didn't know what she had offended Lin Qinhe, she clearly felt that she was disgusted by this person.
Tao Xi took the book alone and found an empty bench to sit down for self-study. He read the book for a long time but couldn't read it. Lin Qinhe's eyes always came to his mind.
Lin Qinhe's eyes are very beautiful, and the pupils are amber in the sun. When looking at a person for a long time, because of his taller height, his long and dense eyelashes are always half-drooped, and occasionally vibrate slightly, like a swallow's tail. Cut some of the indifference and alienation in the eyes, giving people the illusion that they are being watched seriously.
Tao Xi has been watched by these eyes. On the day of the club day, when he begged Lin Qinhe to help him stay in the first class, perhaps it was because of this illusion that he was extra bold that day.
Tao Xi didn't know why Lin Qinhe seemed to hate him again, but he was not discouraged by it.
He told himself that it would be a long time to come, and he still had a year to work hard.
But Tao Xi didn't know how hard he had to work to get closer to Lin Qinhe. He could only try to keep himself in the first class first, which was also what Lin Qinhe said.
If you want to be his friend, you need to be in the top 50 in the midterm exam.
Tao Xi was suddenly full of energy again. He spent more time playing the torch under the quilt at night, and his face was covered in sweat when he came out of the quilt after learning.
Although he covered it tightly, Xu Ziqi always said yin and yang that light disturbed sleep. He was afraid that Xu Ziqi would go to the dormitory to report it, so he had to wrap the flashlight in a dark plastic bag, only revealing extremely weak light.
But the consequence of this is that every time he finishes his studies, his eyes feel a little swollen.
