This was the first time that Lin Qinhe agreed to Tao Xi's request, and for the first time he didn't say "no" or "no".
Tao Xi even had the illusion of auditory hallucinations, but he thought to himself for a moment, this was just an ordinary request for Yang Duole, but he was like a baby.
But he couldn't help but be happy.
He tried hard to suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth, but he couldn't hide the lightness of his steps.
He felt that he had snatched Lin Qinhe away from Yang Duole, although he only had a little time, it was enough for him to be happy for a long time.
This is even better than when it rained heavily one day when he was in the third grade of elementary school. He was even more happy to see Guo Ping pick him up at the school gate with an umbrella after school.
However, he soon discovered that the path Lin Qinhe took was not the closest path to the infirmary.
On the first day of school, Tao Xi remembered the map of Wenhua No. 1 Middle School clearly with good memory. The infirmary is in the southwest corner of the school. This road is obviously going to take a big bend.
Could it be that this man is a lunatic
Tao Xi turned to look at Lin Qinhe, and couldn't help saying, "Let's go around like this."
But as soon as the words came out, he regretted that he wanted to bite his tongue and commit suicide.
Fuck, it's so sad.
He told Yang Duole just now that he didn't know where the infirmary was.
Lin Qinhe turned his head and glanced at him, with that look, as if he was expecting his presence, he asked knowingly, "Do you know how to get to the nearest?"
Tao Xi was stunned for a moment, suddenly a little annoyed, his sloppy temperament didn't hold back, and he choked: "Did you do it on purpose?"
After he finished speaking, he felt that his tone was not very good, the tone made a big turn, and he said in a low voice aggrieved: "Do it on purpose, just do it if you are happy."
"No." Lin Qinhe's tone seemed a little speechless, and continued, "I don't like Baihui Garden."
Tao Xi was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "Why? Isn't there a lot of beautiful flowers there?"
Baihui Garden is as its name suggests. It is carefully planted with all kinds of flowers and plants. The garden is fragrant throughout the year. On the day Tao Xi arrived at Wenhua No. 1 Middle School, Zhou Qiang took him and Feng Yuan around the campus. At that time, he saw Baihui Garden. There are a lot of pink and white roses blooming in the garden, and I also thought that I would have time to sketch in the future.
Lin Qinhe frowned, as if thinking of something that made him uncomfortable.
Tao Xi's mind turned very fast, and he asked, "You don't like flowers?"
Lin Qinhe hummed and frowned slightly. It seemed that not only did he dislike it, but he simply hated it.
"Oh, so it is." Tao Xi nodded.
But what he thought was that it was over. He painted small peach blossoms in every letter he wrote to Lin Qinhe, and even sent him a gouache painting of peach blossoms flowing on the Qingshui River, and he wisely titled the painting " The forest and flowers are full of streams."
Really fucking accurate.
Fortunately, he pretended to be a babbling girl in the letter.
After arriving at the infirmary, the female school doctor was in her forties and seemed to know Lin Qinhe. She smiled and nodded at him, then looked at Tao Xi and asked curiously, "Are you classmates? I don't seem to have seen you before."
Tao Xi sat on the chair and opened his bangs with his hands, thinking that it would be a good thing to be known by the school doctor? But he said obediently: "I just turned around, it's his tablemate."
The words "his tablemate" were pronounced lightly and quickly by him, as if it were some kind of honorable identity.
It's a pity that the school doctor didn't continue to ask. He took the potion and cotton swab to clean Tao Xi's wound, and asked Lin Qinhe, "Little Curly Hair has not been sick recently, right?"
It was Yang Duole who obviously asked. It seems that Lin Qinhe often accompanies him to the infirmary.
Tao Xi's briskly jumping heart sank instantly, pursing her lips tightly.
Lin Qinhe stood aside and said, "I had a fever a few days ago, and I have come to school today."
"Hey, this kid is really weak, you tell him that it's coming to autumn soon, turn on the air conditioner less, don't…"
The school doctor was about to continue to tell him something, when he heard the child who was taking the medicine exclaimed exaggeratedly and said, "Doctor, take it easy, it hurts so much."
She was stunned for a while. She had dealt with this kind of small wound too many times, and no boy had ever shouted that. Besides, her hands were always very light, so she said, "Just bear with it for a while, and it will be fine, boy, don't be so squeamish, you scoundrel. Student Mao is so weak and strong."
"… "
Shit, Tao Xi is pissed.
Looking at Lin Qinhe, it was clear that he still had that expressionless face, but no matter how he looked at it, he felt that this person was laughing at him.
After coming out of the infirmary, Tao Xi followed Lin Qinhe to the canteen. After being silent for a long time, he suddenly said, "I used to play in the mountains when I was a child, you shouldn't know that there are many snakes and worms in the mountains. There is a kind of small Thin snakes are not poisonous, but they are terrifyingly long, and they can easily be bitten when they go to the mountains in summer."
Lin Qinhe didn't respond, obviously not interested in this topic.
Tao Xi continued to gesture without giving up: "I went up the mountain to chop hogweed once in the fifth grade of elementary school, and was bitten by that kind of snake. I made a simple treatment of the wound, and I went to the village after cutting the hogweed very calmly. The old Chinese doctor got some herbs and rubbed it."
After speaking, he was afraid that Lin Qinhe would not understand what pig grass is, and explained, "pig grass is the grass for pigs, and the pigs in our place don't eat feed."
He didn't feel ashamed to talk about life in the countryside, he was only eager to prove one thing.
"So?" Lin Qinhe's tone was flat.
Tao Xi choked for a moment and said anxiously, "So I'm not afraid of pain, and I'm not squeamish!"
For him, being called squeamish is much more serious than being poor, and it belongs to the level of personal attack!
He carefully endured his bad temper, and put away the thorns all over his body, just to make Lin Qinhe think that he is also very good and educated. Now a school doctor said that he was more squeamish than Yang, which is tolerable. Unbearable!
Lin Qinhe suddenly stopped, looked down at him slightly, and asked in a cold voice, "I'm not afraid of pain, so when the ball comes, you can avoid it, but you have to hit it on purpose?"
Tao Xi froze in place for an instant, the blood in his body seemed to disappear suddenly, and a few seconds later it suddenly flooded into his brain. Lin Qinhe looked at him with calm eyes, but he felt as if he had been cut open without any quibble. room.
Obviously, he is the best at talking nonsense and perfunctory, but in front of Lin Qinhe, it seems that he can't do it at all.
He clenched his fingers tightly, his throat was sore, and he hesitated: "...I, I just want to find a chance to talk to you, and I want to be... a friend with you."
He struggled to say the word "friend", but in his heart it seemed that the word was not enough.
He wanted to hear Lin Qinhe say words other than "no" to him, and wanted to be as familiar with Lin Qinhe as he and Yang Duole were.
What else... He hadn't thought of it yet.
"If you really want to be my friend, you should be in the top 50 in the midterm exam and stay in the first class." Lin Qinhe looked at him with an indifferent tone, "It's not easy for you to come to Wenhua No. 1 Middle School. , don't waste time doing meaningless things."
"Speak to me directly if you have something in the future, I will listen, don't use this boring way, and don't use Yang Duole." After Lin Qinhe said this, he turned and left.
Tao Xi stood there, and it took him a long time to find the air and start breathing rapidly.
He stretched out his hand to cover his forehead and just put the gauze on it. He was obviously not afraid of the pain, but the wound suddenly became painful, and it became more and more painful.
He suddenly remembered that when he was ten years old, seven-year-old Tao Le was playing with the water pipe at his grandmother's house and forgot to turn off the faucet, causing the water from the water pipe to flow into the cellar containing sweet potatoes.
Guo Ping took a bamboo cane to chase after him and beat him. He cried that he was not made by Tao Le, and begged his grandmother who knew the truth to testify.
But grandma only held Tao Le silently and did not defend him from beginning to end. Tao Le did not dare to admit it because she was afraid.
Guo Ping still beat him hard. He had long forgotten the pain of the rattan swinging on his body, but the feeling of grievance that made his heart hurt was still fresh in his mind.
Just like now.
He was extremely aggrieved, and that sentence? "Don't use Yang Duole", made him so painful that it was difficult to breathe.
Lin Qinhe did not wrong him, he did take advantage of Yang Duole.
Lin Qinhe knew that it was not easy for him to come to Wenhua No. 1 Middle School, so let him not waste time doing meaningless things.
But Lin Qinhe would not know that he was the meaning of his hard work to come here.
Not to mention, he should have been Yang Duole.
He should have Lin Qinhe.
From that day on, Tao Xi no longer dared to talk to Lin Qinhe, and no longer secretly glanced to the side during class. No matter how persuaded Bi Chengfei not to play, after the evening self-study, he quickly ran back to the dormitory with books and materials, as if a dog was chasing him.
Then he found that in fact, Lin Qinhe had not changed much. From the beginning to the end, he was jumping around like a flea. Now that he stopped dancing, Lin Qinhe was clean.
A few days passed, and Bi Chengfei also discovered something was wrong.
"Brother Xi, why do I feel that your relationship with the god of learning is estranged?" Bi Chengfei said while picking out the garlic in the plate with chopsticks.
Tao Xi had already finished his lunch, and was reading a mathematics teaching material. Hearing this, he was silent for a while, and said, "I have never known him before."
Bi Chengfei snorted, but he always felt that there was still some resentment in Tao Xi's words. He originally thought that after the last basketball game, the relationship between Tao Xi and Lin Qinhe would be better.
In the past few days, he has been sitting in the front and felt the low pressure between the two tablemates in the back, so he said: "Oh, I'm too embarrassed to turn around and talk to you now, and the tablemate doesn't pay attention to me, but I'm suffocated to death. already."
Tao Xi turned a page and said lightly, "You forgot what Lin Qinhe used to play with you last time?"
Bi Chengfei was taken aback for a moment, but he really forgot.
He sighed faintly: "I am the little mermaid in Andersen's fairy tale. I found a sea witch to exchange a pair of legs for walking with a beautiful voice."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the witch Hai and Yang Duole walking towards the entrance of the cafeteria after eating. With a guilty conscience, he waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's good to learn the gods, and it's good to have fun!"
Yang Duole smiled and replied, "Good morning, Feifei!" In a blink of an eye, he recognized Tao Xi, who was sitting opposite Bi Chengfei. After a while, he smiled and said hello: "Good morning, Taoxi!"
Tao Xi sat stiffly, just nodded, staring at the pages of the book in his hand, until the two people completely walked by, and his body relaxed.
Bi Chengfei just finished eating, and the two left after throwing away their plates. The summer heat in early September had not dissipated, but there was already a faint scent of sweet-scented osmanthus in the air.
The road from the cafeteria to the teaching building is called "Yinggui Road", and the name is simple and rude, because there are cherry blossom trees on one side and sweet-scented osmanthus trees on the other side. It can be seen that the school loves to throw flowers and plants.
Tao Xi thought to himself that Lin Qinhe was really at odds with Wenhua No. 1 Middle School.
Sure enough, he saw Lin Qinhe and Yang Duole turn a corner and walked on a small road in front of him.
"Do you know why Lin Qinhe doesn't like flowers?" Tao Xi asked suddenly.
Bi Chengfei was stunned for a moment, then reacted for a while before saying, "Xueshen seems to have a serious pollen allergy. Our junior high school class once organized a spring outing to a botanical garden, and Xueshen asked for a leave of absence."
It seems that Lin Qinhe didn't fool him before.
"How do you know this?"? Bi Chengfei would never miss any opportunity to gossip.
"Because I stepped on thunder." Tao Xi said.
I also accidentally stepped on it many times.
Bi Chengfei still wanted to get to the bottom of it, but was fooled by a few words from Tao Xi.
