Chu Jin turned down the power of the induction cooker, and the sheep scorpion hot pot was ready to eat.
Song Qiaoxi lowered her eyes and held chopsticks in her hand, but she didn't intend to move them for a long time.
It was too noisy in the room just now. He didn't hear what the little girl said the first time, but he heard it clearly the second time.
"I don't think Cheng Lili is so friendly, and it's a bit weird to ask questions..." Song Qiaoxi muttered, put down her chopsticks, and took a sip of warm water with her head down, feeling a little embarrassed.
Song Qiaoxi never takes the initiative to speak ill of others, and always smiles at everyone. Her character has always been that people don't offend me and I don't offend others.
Generally speaking, Song Qiaoxi doesn't care much if she offends her.
However, if anyone really provokes the people she cares about, Song Qiaoxi is not tall and has a small body, but she never admits to cowardice, and she is stronger than anyone when she just wakes up.
However, Cheng Lili was really an exception this time.
I don't know why, Song Qiaoxi didn't like her at all, although she didn't seem to have any ill will towards Chu Jin, she seemed full of curiosity.
After drinking half a cup of warm boiled water, Song Qiaoxi choked her mouth and muttered, "That Cheng Lili, is there something wrong with her ears? How many times have I said, you are not my brother, I am not your sister, she just can't hear her? The same, keep saying that I am your sister... "
"Aren't you hungry? Hurry up and eat." Chu Jin whispered, putting a piece of lamb chops on the plate in front of her, "I haven't spoken to her in class, what kind of friend are you?"
"Really?" Song Qiaoxi's eyes lit up, her hands resting on the table, and she smiled like a child.
"Well, you can't lie to children. If I promise you, I will do it." Chu Jin picked up a plate of winter melon and carefully put it into the pot.
The winter melon needs to be boiled for a long time until it is transparent to taste.
"Well, good..." Song Qiaoxi rolled up her sleeves, picked up the lamb chops with the chopsticks, puffed up her cheeks and blew it, stuffing it into her mouth.
The lamb chops are smooth and tender, and the tip of the tongue will fall off the bone with a sip. The lamb chops are skinned and have a little fat layer.
"In the future, if you meet Cheng Lili at school again, don't pay attention to her." Chu Jin said, handing Song Qiaoxi two tissues, and tapping his temple with the slender fingertips of his right hand, "Besides, I don't think she is an ear. There is a problem, there is a problem with the brain, calling my brothers and sisters over and over again, is it because I can't understand people's words... "
"Pfft..." Fortunately, the lamb chops had already been swallowed, Song Qiaoxi was amused by Chu Jin's rant, took the tissue and covered her mouth, her almond eyes curled.
Laughing and smiling, the unpleasantness accumulated in the little girl's heart was swept away.
My heart is sour, that unspeakable strange emotion is no longer scratching my heart like a kitten's paw.
After a while, a warmth spread from Song Qiaoxi's chest.
With Chu Jin's promise, she was really happy.
In memory, Chu Jin would never be so "poisonous".
When he was in Qizhou, no matter how noisy the members of the "Little Five People Gang" were, he seldom expressed any opinions. Even if he occasionally said a few words, he was a third-party position without emotion. He always maintained a neutral attitude and never "stands in line". ".
In Beijing in late autumn, the sky outside the house has already darkened, and the weather forecast says that from next week, cold air will come.
Inside the house, the sheep scorpion hot pot was boiling with steam, and the glass windows and doors of the store were covered with fog.
Song Qiaoxi looked at the teenager surrounded by "immortal energy" through the boiling hot pot, a little stunned.
She found that Chu Jin had really changed.
The boy who was taciturn, covered in scars, and as beautiful as a little girl has grown into a beautiful boy with slender bones, broad shoulders and long legs.
The current Chu Jin will chat in the QQ group of the "Little Gang of Five", and he will respond to the jokes between Wang Junyang and Ding Yikai's boys in a humorous manner. He would calmly change the topic, and even when she watched "mentally retarded" TV series and variety shows, he would deliberately spit out a few words to tease himself.
The appearance of Chu Jin and the "Little Five People Gang" together is really far from the "Bingshan Beauty" that he usually refuses to be thousands of miles away in the middle school attached to R University...
When Chu Jin was a child, his personality was more like a cold and unpleasant "little old man", always saying things that Song Qiaoxi couldn't understand, and he was old-fashioned.
On the contrary, as he grew up, he became more and more cheerful, and he had a full youthful air about him.
very nice.
The little girl lowered her head and bit a piece of sweet potato chips that were very hot.
The sweet potato chips are really hot, soft and hard, sweet and glutinous, and she is also sweet in her heart.
Song Qiaoxi also thought that even if Chu Jin grows up and is as withdrawn as a child, cold and unpleasant, she will still be the one who protects him without hesitation.
His childhood protection was to prevent Chu Jin from turning black and becoming a bad person.
Over the years, under the care and education of the Song family, Chu Jin has behaved like a "five good boy" at home, and no one can fault it.
If you were to arrest any neighbors in the compound in Qizhou, and tell them that Chu Jin would learn to be a bad boy and become a bad boy, they would want to take you to Lao Song’s house, and the people would press their heads and pay the child for it.
The current guardian...
Song Qiaoxi hopes that Chu Jin can live a peaceful life and grow up happily.
In the future, she must make herself stand up, become stronger, and cover Chu Jin!
--
During this meal, Song Qiaoxi didn't have any surprises, and she endured it again.
She touched her chubby belly, looked down, and saw a small saucer with a few drops of sesame paste on the white school uniform, and said angrily, "Ah, it's dirty again..."
"It's okay, I'll wash it for you when I get home." Chu Jin's tone was sparse and normal, as if he had long been used to her hairy hands and feet.
On the way home, Song Qiaoxi was not walking fast because she had just eaten.
Chu Jin followed her at a steady pace, as if taking a walk.
Passing through the alley at the intersection, the cool air is filled with the aroma of pancakes, fruits and roasted cold noodles.
Beijing is really different from Qizhou. At this point, there are very few people on the streets of Qizhou, but the nightlife in Beijing seems to have just begun.
Song Qiaoxi suddenly remembered something that she wanted to ask him today, but Cheng Lili forgot about it as soon as she jumped out.
"Chu Jin, where are you going to take the university entrance exam?" Song Qiaoxi did two stretches in "The Time is Calling", stretched her arms, tilted her head and sniffed the smell of cold noodles in the air, "Do you smell Does it smell special?"
"Don't think about it, you are allowed to eat some fruit at most in the evening, and I'll buy you cold noodles after school tomorrow." Chu Jin reached out and turned her head right, after a moment of silence, "I want to pass the computer science department, then It's my father's alma mater. When I was very young, my father said that he wanted me to become an alumnus with him when I grew up. It happened that I was very interested in the Internet. The computer major of Tsingtao University is also very strong all over the world. ."
"Uncle Chu is really amazing. Sure enough, your whole family is a top student. I thought you would want to pass the entrance examination. It's alright. I just want to confirm with you. Before, I heard from the teacher and parents that you want to pass the entrance examination. I didn't hear you say it yourself." Song Qiaoxi jumped up and patted Chu Jin's shoulder with an expression of "I know it", "Young man, I'm optimistic about you, you have potential! You will definitely be admitted to the university."
Chu Jin didn't seem to be in high interest, just smiled lightly and asked with a little puzzled: "Why are you so happy?"
"Big brother! It's Qingda University! Qingda University, which is as famous as Peking University, is the dream school in many people's minds, but it's not the Peking University Jade Bird that the elder brother of Aunt Gao's family went to. It's not easy for local children in Beijing to get into Qingda University, right? "Song Qiaoxi's eyes widened, not understanding what he couldn't understand.
If Qing University has a photography major, she also wants to be admitted to Qing University.
The premise is that if you can pass the test...
"..." Chu Jin was silent.
"Don't tell me, do you think Qing University is not good enough?" Song Qiaoxi was stunned, she really didn't understand the world of "Study God".
"I don't think Qingda is bad, I just think... Qingda is too far away from you." Chu Jin's voice was low.
The two of them were carrying schoolbags and had already swiped their cards into the community. They had just walked to Swan Lake in the middle of the community.
Song Qiaoxi stopped and looked up at Chu Jin with exploratory eyes. There was an indescribable look on his face, and he couldn't tell whether it was sad or melancholy.
Chu Jin paused, with a sigh in his voice, "At that time, I will be in Beijing, and you will be in New York. The distance between New York and Beijing is 11,000 kilometers, a difference of thirteen hours, and a direct flight will also take thirteen hours. .. . . . boy, you are good at geography, can you tell me what time zone is New York?"
"Beijing is the East Eighth District, and New York is the West Fifth District." Song Qiaoxi blurted out without hesitation, and her grades in Geography have always been very good.
"Then, do you want me to go to school in New York with you?" Chu Jin's eyes were down, but he suddenly lifted up and looked straight at her.
Song Qiaoxi was very clingy to Chu Jin when she was a child, and it seemed that she could not be separated from him for a minute. For a while, even when Chu Jin went to the bathroom, she had to put a small bench at the door of the bathroom, for fear that he would be picked up by her uncle again.
The first grade teachers were assigned seats, but Chu Jin was not assigned with her.
During recess, the short and stout glutinous dumplings hugged her pile of "soft", completely ignoring the eyes of the classmates in the class, "hum hum hum hum" ran to the last row of the classroom, but wanted to sit with Chu Jin. .
Two children, who have been at the same table for six years.
The junior high school was divided into classes, and she was not admitted to the first experimental class in the foreign language entrance examination. She was sad for a long time...
"But, you want to go to Qingda University, not New York University?" Song Qiaoxi blinked in surprise.
Chu Jin asked very directly: "Do you want me to go to New York to study with you?"
"I..." Song Qiaoxi bit her lip.
After hesitating for a moment, she said what she thought, "It's not that I'm not coming back, the undergraduate degree is four years, and there will be holidays, and I will come back as soon as the holidays are off. Besides, you and your parents, during the holidays, You can also go to New York to play with me."
"Xixi," Chu Jin called her, Song Qiaoxi's nickname, as if he was laughing, he asked very slowly, "You really don't want to?"
Only at this time did Song Qiaoxi realize that Chu Jin's attitude was very serious, not like he was joking.
The two of them were suddenly enveloped in a strange atmosphere, they couldn't tell what it was, it was strange and indescribable.
"You like Qingda University, you have the ability to be admitted to Qingda University, isn't it your dream to become Uncle Chu's alumni? I think... " Song Qiaoxi lowered her head, grabbed the shoulder strap of her schoolbag with both hands, and kicked with her white sneakers. A gravel under his feet.
Small stones "squeaky" rolled into the artificial lake, causing a small ripple.
Song Qiaoxi raised her head, looked into Chu Jin's bottomless eyes, and said softly, "I think you should do what you really want to do and like, and learn the major you want to study the most. Instead of going to New York to accompany me, Go to school, then tell me, do you really like New York?
"I don't like New York." Chu Jin closed his eyes gently, opened them again, and answered honestly.
But I like you, he said in his heart.
Song Qiaoxi continued: "The best universities in the United States for computer science are MIT, Stanford, and Berkeley, California... These schools are not in New York? If you want to go to these schools to study computer, I will definitely not I will stop you, and I will support you with both hands and feet. If Cheng Lili says that my parents are not willing to spend money to send the two of us to study abroad together, you must not believe it."
The character of "Little Straight Ball" made Xixi speak her heart directly.
"What did Cheng Lili say?" Chu Jin asked her, frowning.
"It's nothing, it's just that she always asks me about you, I don't want to tell her..." Song Qiaoxi found that she couldn't hide it, so she could only bite the bullet and tell Cheng Lili's questions one by one. Chu Jin, "...That's all, don't listen to her, how could your parents not let you go abroad because they are distressed about money?"
"Hey," Chu Jin laughed and shook his head, "Of course Uncle Song and Aunt Qiao can't do this."
But if he wants to study abroad, he will not spend a penny from the Song family.
Chu Jin always remembered the parenting kindness of Song's parents, and never forgot his childhood promise to Song's father.
He would return the money the Song family spent on himself in multiples.
Chu Jin is particularly gifted with computers. Seven or eight years ago, when there was no broadband at home, he was exposed to the earliest Internet in China when he was using dial-up Internet access.
He is very optimistic about the future development of the Internet. He has done a lot of homework and data analysis. He feels that platform websites are the future trend, and he is already preparing for the establishment of his own platform.
A small website he experimented with a while ago, tried to sell it on an international platform, and earned him $30,000.
Chu Jin didn't tell anyone about this, including Uncle Song and Aunt Qiao, and Song Qiaoxi.
He thought that when he was able to give the Song family a better life, he would tell them that now is not the time.
Under the dim light, the two children, each with their own thoughts, were silent for a while.
The two of them were very tacit, and no one proposed to go home now.
Because they all feel that there are some things that have not been explained.
Song Qiaoxi pulled her head down, thinking about what Chu did just now.
Of course, she wanted to go to college with Chu Jin and lived two lifetimes. What she hated most was still parting in any form.
But in the foreign language school, when she was in the first year of junior high school, she had the experience of being divided into classes and branch campuses with her good friends, and what Sister Qiu Meng said to her before she left the compound in the summer vacation and came to Beijing, made the little girl understand a truth.
Whether it is a boy or a girl, when they grow up, they will be like a young eagle, flying to a higher sky.
Not afraid of wind and rain, learn the ability to independently fly in the blue sky.
As Sister Qiu Meng said, when you grow up, you can choose not to live alone, but you must have the ability to live independently.
Song Qiaoxi yearns for independence, longs for herself to be on her own, and can't hide under her parents' wings all the time. She also wants to be her parents' support. When her parents are old, they can rely on her completely.
Chu Jin is in the heart of the little girl, like a thriving tree that will grow into a towering tree in the future.
His talents in studies, music, and computer programming may never catch up with his hard work.
Because these are all Chu Jin's advantages.
However, Song Qiaoxi never denied herself.
She believes that she is also very good. She likes photography, she has a flexible mind, strong creative ability, and strong empathy ability. Her greatest wish is to take a camera to see the world.
Song Qiaoxi is eager to grow up and become a better version of herself.
Chu Jin's voice interrupted her thoughts.
"Sat and TOEFL, I'll prepare with you." The boy's voice was deep. This was originally a question, but Song Qiaoxi heard it as a statement.
"Ah?" She opened her mouth, did not continue to persuade him, and whispered "Okay".
Chu Jin raised his hand, rubbed her furry head, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid that you have no motivation to learn by yourself, just like when you were a child, you always want to play tricks and be lazy. I'm staring at you, forgive you, you don't dare to be lazy... ... "
"I haven't been lazy for a long time, okay!" Song Qiaoxi shook her head and pouted, expressing her dissatisfaction.
She has never let up since the summer vacation. The academic pressure of the ordinary class in the high school attached to R University is no less than that of the experimental class. What's more, in addition to learning in-class knowledge, she also needs to study Sat and prepare for TOEFL.
"Okay, Xixi has worked hard the best, and if she works hard, there will be good rewards." Chu Jin's usually pale face, because of the orange street lights, looked extra gentle.
He didn't move his hand from the top of Song Qiaoxi's hair, and rubbed it lightly.
I, like you, prepare both hands.
At that time, whether you want me to accompany you to New York, the choice is yours.
--
The experimental class in the high school attached to R University is a little far from the ordinary class, and most of the students in the experimental class have to prepare for various types of competitions. Mysterious" classroom.
Students who are preparing for the competition mean more "privileges".
For example, some activities can be avoided, classes will be suspended before exam preparation, when you can go to eat, and your work and rest time will be relatively free.
Cheng Lili was studying the relatively unpopular biology competition, and it was the first semester of high school, so the teacher was more relaxed.
For two weeks in a row, she made a "love breakfast" for Chu Jin and the nanny at home, even though Chu Jin never ate it once.
The more straightforwardly Chu Jin refused, the stronger Cheng Lili's competitive spirit became. She has never encountered such a "hard nail" so far.
Early this morning, Cheng Lili was sent to the school gate by the driver at home. She came to the class still yawning, and put the lunch box in the hole of Chu Jin's table.
She was the earliest classmate in the class. As soon as she looked up, she saw Chu Jin also walking into the classroom.
"Chu Jin, it's better to come early than coincidence. The ham quiche is still hot. I made it myself. I even painted a smiley face with ketchup." Cheng Lili beckoned to Chu Jin tenderly, controlling her perfect angle. smile.
Although the omelette was made by her nanny, the tomato sauce was indeed decorated by Cheng Lili herself.
"Take it." Chu Jin stood two meters away from Cheng Lili and said coldly with a schoolbag on one shoulder.
"Have you tasted it, it's really delicious?" Cheng Lili opened the lunch box as if offering a treasure, picked up a small piece with a small delicate silver fork, and came to feed it into Chu Jin's mouth.
Chu Jin took a step back and covered his mouth with his hand.
With a crisp "click", the silver fork fell to the ground together with the lunch box in Cheng Lili's hand, but she didn't hold it firmly.
The ground was a mess.
On the omelette, the smiling face squeezed out of ketchup is now uglier than the crying face.
Other students in the class came in one after another, and Cheng Lili's expression became extremely pitiful, as if she had suffered some great grievance.
Cheng Lili squatted down, picked up the lunch box on the ground, and smiled pitifully. In the eyes of her classmates, she was as weak as a harmless little white rabbit at this moment.
"Chu Jin, you, it doesn't matter if you don't like it, but..." Cheng Lili sobbed softly and bit her lip, "Can you not break my lunch box?"
In the surprised eyes of the classmates, Chu Jin didn't even glance at Cheng Lili.
Said he dropped the lunch box?
You and Cheng Lili were two meters away, without touching the lunch box with your hand, did you drop an eggplant?
Carrying a schoolbag, he walked straight out of the classroom. Chu had the keys to the math competition study room upstairs. The teachers in the class would not care about their students participating in the math competition.
He didn't want to cooperate with Cheng Lili in acting. In that scene, no matter what he said or did, it was easy to be overinterpreted.
Those who are clear are self-clearing, and Chu Jin firmly believes in this.
Opening the classroom door, Chu Jin sat down in the corner, put down his schoolbag and started to study the questions, and soon forgot about this trivial matter to him.
Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for some rumors to spread in the higher-level department.
Even Song Qiaoxi's ordinary class heard some strange remarks, all of which were about Chu Jin and Cheng Lili.
During the big class break, after finishing "The Time is Calling", there is more than ten minutes of free time for activities.
Song Qiaoxi wanted to drink iced black tea, and Zhou Jie, who was at the same table, accompanied her to the small supermarket to buy it.
When they were in line to check out, the two heard the three female classmates in front of them talking.
"The handsome guy in the experimental class, Chu Jin, really has a tendency to be violent. The class flower of their experimental class kindly gave Chu Jin breakfast, but guess what? I even smashed Ban Hua's imported lunch box!" said a girl wearing clear soup and hanging her face.
The girl with freckles on her face nodded, "Yes, the class flower of the experimental class is Cheng Lili, who is Cheng Lili, how rich her family is, and her academic performance is good. She is a fairy daughter, and she is a boy in all grades. Bai Yueguang, a girl like me eats her face, and now I'm being humiliated by a country bumpkin? It's so pitiful... I think that Chu Jin is just a pair of good skins."
"That's right, you know, I also heard that Chu Jin is a little white face who eats soft rice, and is a child adopted by a girl from another place in the ordinary class. Tsk tsk, to be honest, such orphans generally have problems in their hearts. Maybe, the person behind the back is very perverted, and I thought he was handsome before..." A little girl with a mushroom head and a slightly fat body said without shyness.
"What's the difference between you chewing other people's tongues here and a woman with a long tongue?" Song Qiaoxi shoved the warm iced tea into Zhou Jie's arms and stepped forward to raise the volume.
From childhood to adulthood, Song Qiaoxi would definitely explode when someone said that Chu Jin was not good.
Jiang Qisheng had experienced her "lethality" when she was a child. After being a demon a few times, she no longer dared to provoke their "Little Gang of Five".
Although, Song Qiaoxi is only one person now.
Uh, two people, behind her stood a dumbfounded Zhou Jie who was completely at a loss.
But the little girl turned a person into a team.
"It's hearsay, do you know that people who spread rumors indiscriminately will be held legally responsible?" Song Qiaoxi raised her voice a little bit, and raised her chin to ask the teacher, "Are you three from the experimental class?"
Xu Shi was intimidated by Song Qiaoxi's powerful aura. The three little girls looked like they were being "captured", their faces were all red, they shook their heads together, and whispered, "No..."
"Okay, it turns out that you are not from the experimental class. How do you say that the three of you are at the scene, watching Chu Jin put breakfast on Cheng Lili's head? You watched Chu Jin smash the lunch box? Or are you watching? Has he eaten soft rice?" Song Qiaoxi stared at the three of them, clasping her hands on her chest, like a fried old hen protecting her cubs.
Song Qiaoxi went on to say: "I came to the school to study hard, don't learn to spread rumors every day. I tell you, Chu Jin is not an orphan, calling others a pervert, a country bumpkin with a problem in his heart, these are all personal attacks. You and I go to the dean. If you're not convinced, let's go to the principal."
Zhou Jie, who was standing behind Song Qiaoxi, was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth. I didn't expect Xiaoxi, who looked soft and cute, to be so lethal when she got angry?
Hiss, really looks like a little lion.
Song Qiaoxi said one sentence at a time, the three little girls on the opposite side had no power to fight back.
The three of them hesitated for a long time, but they didn't say why. It was indeed their fault. They had heard some things happened, and the three best friends started to brag about each other as soon as they met.
In the end, Song Qiaoxi stopped drinking iced tea.
Zhou Jie accompanied her, called two more boys in the class, escorted three little girls to the dean's office, and reported the situation to the dean.
Director Zhang is a female teacher in her fifties with permed hair, glasses, and a thin body. She is sitting at the desk in a black suit.
After listening to Song Qiaoxi's explanation, Teacher Zhang pushed his glasses and said solemnly, "Okay, the teacher understands, this matter must be dealt with seriously."
"Mr. Zhang, this kind of false rumors are very harmful to classmates. I hope you can find out the source of the rumors, who was the first to spread the rumors, and that person must apologize to Chu Jin." Song Qiaoxi said righteously. , clenched his fists tightly, "Also, if Chu Jin really did such an outrageous thing, why did someone start spreading rumors after more than half a month? Why didn't the classmates in his class go to talk to the teacher more than half a month ago? Reflect on this? So, it must be a rumor..."
"Song Qiaoxi, leave this matter to the teacher and the school, don't worry, the school will investigate it clearly." Teacher Zhang raised his hand and glanced at his watch, stood up from the chair, and raised his chin to Song Qiaoxi, "What time is it? Go back to class and call me in by the way."
"I see, thank you Teacher Zhang." Song Qiaoxi returned to being obedient and nodded to Teacher Zhang.
Just as she was about to open the door of the dean's office, she was stopped by Teacher Zhang again.
Teacher Zhang walked in front of Song Qiaoxi, patted her on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "By the way, Song Qiaoxi, next time you see Mr. Chu, take the teacher with you."
"Huh?" Song Qiaoxi froze at the door.
Teacher Zhang's words "Old Chu" made her bewildered.
Mr. Chu, is it Mr. Chu, the grandfather of Chu Jin?
"It's you and Chu Jin's grandfather. Mr. Chu refurbished all the school's dormitories and installed air conditioners, replaced a batch of the latest computers in the computer room, built a new planetarium, donated 50,000 sets of books, and sponsored in the name of the school. He has renovated several primary and junior high schools in remote western areas, and made a bridge with our school to become a counterpart school. Mr. Chu did not let the school publicly thank the public, but did it quietly. He is a good person who sincerely contributes to the cause of education. "Mr. Zhang admires Said with a look of admiration.
"..." Song Qiaoxi really reacted for a while, without wanting to argue too much, nodded, "Oh, okay, I will greet you when I see Grandpa Chu."
"You live very close, don't you?" Teacher Zhang seemed to remember something.
Song Qiaoxi said "um", "In a community."
She watched Teacher Zhang walk back to the desk, opened the drawer, and took out an envelope with the school logo from it.
"Immediately at the end of the semester, there will be a cultural performance in the school, and the school also wants to invite Mr. Chu to attend. I originally wanted to send the invitation to Mr. Chu, but you just came over and took it home to your grandfather."
Before Song Qiaoxi went out, Teacher Zhang said enthusiastically, "You must let Mr. Chu come."
--
For the remaining half-day class, Song Qiaoxi was a little absent-minded.
She has been thinking about using the break time to see Chu Jin, fearing that Chu Jin will be affected by these rumors, and she must feel very uncomfortable.
With some hindsight, it is estimated that these rumors have been circulating for some time.
But the time between classes is very short, the experimental class and the normal class are far away, and there is a high probability that Chu Jin will not be in the classroom.
As soon as the bell rang for the last class in the afternoon, Song Qiaoxi put on a white down jacket, grabbed her schoolbag and rushed out of the classroom first.
The winter in Beijing is much colder than in Qizhou. She hurried to go out, only to find that her gloves were left in the hole in the table.
Forget it, it's too troublesome to go back and get it.
Song Qiaoxi shrunk her hands into her sleeves, her fingertips red from the cold.
Halfway through the run, I saw a familiar figure in the crowd.
Chu Jin has grown to 1.86 meters. Even in the north, this height can easily become the focus of the crowd.
"Hey," Song Qiaoxi stood on tiptoe and patted Chu Jin's shoulder.
The young man turned his head suddenly, and under the warm plaid scarf was his pale face. After a few seconds, Chu Jin smiled faintly, "Are you so early today?"
When he opened his mouth, there was a breath in the air.
"Let's go, I'm treating you to a guest today, please eat seafood." Song Qiaoxi also gave him a bright smile, rubbed her hands together, and let out a sigh of relief.
The two walked out of the school gate together and walked towards the subway station.
Chu Jin didn't ask Song Qiaoxi where to take him, and just followed her.
"Where are your gloves?" Chu Jin suddenly frowned.
"Ah, I forgot..." Song Qiaoxi waved her hands indifferently, and trotted forward, "Come on, if it's late, the seniors and sisters who are studying in the evenings of senior year will be robbed by us."
Chu Jin removed the scarf around his neck and handed it to Song Qiaoxi, "Wrap your hand."
"Oh, I really don't need it, it's not cold." The scarf in the little girl's hand still carried Chu Jin's body temperature, and on the scarf, there was still the smell of mint shower gel on him.
Song Qiaoxi was embarrassed to take a deep breath in front of Chu Jin, she really liked the smell on him.
"Obey." Chu Jin said in a deep voice, his expression slightly serious.
"Oh." As long as Song Qiaoxi obediently hugged her hand with her scarf, she suddenly remembered an interesting story from her childhood, her almond eyes rolled, she raised her hand and said to Chu Jin, "You still remember when you were a child, when I forgot to wear gloves, you would take your Bring me the gloves. But your gloves are so big that I can't carry them, and I often lose one before I get home."
Chu Jin rubbed his nose with his hand and shook his head, "Well, you have been so rambunctious since you were a child."
Just the thought that you're going to college abroad alone...
I'm really worried.
--
In the 7-Eleven store, there are only three seats by the window for diners to dine in.
In front of the boy and the little girl, there is a yellow disposable foam bowl, which is full of kelp knots, shrimp balls, fish tofu, bamboo wheels, radishes...
"Is this the seafood you're talking about?" Chu Jin couldn't help laughing, he was about to be teased to death by this ghost, Song Qiaoxi.
"Isn't kelp seafood? Shrimp balls are made from your favorite shrimp meat, and fish tofu is made of fish and tofu. Speaking of bamboo, um, it shouldn't be made of bamboo," Song Qiaoxi said boldly, and handed a pair to Chu Jin. Disposable chopsticks, "Only radish is not seafood, but the radish is mine, not for you, hehe."
There are not many people in the store at the moment. This 7-Eleven is on the back street of the subway station, and there is not much traffic.
Today, Chu Jin didn't eat much for lunch, and was just busy writing competition questions.
It was quite late when I went to the cafeteria, and there was nothing left in the cafeteria, so I just grabbed two bites of rice.
At this moment, smelling the hot soup boiled with kelp and wood fish, he really felt hungry.
The two heads came together and shared a bowl of Oden. Soon, the contents of the bowl were swept away.
I don't know why, but today's shrimp balls are particularly delicious, full of flavor, and can eat large pieces of shrimp meat.
There was still a solitary shrimp ball left in the bowl, sinking in the soup base.
Chu Jin habitually stopped his chopsticks and pushed the bowl in front of Song Qiaoxi, "You eat."
As usual, she would always grin, show her little white teeth, and eat the last bite with peace of mind.
But today, Song Qiaoxi was uncharacteristically and pushed the bowl to Chu Jin, "You eat, I'll treat you to eat, the last shrimp ball is yours."
"What happened to you today?" Chu Jin felt that something was wrong with Song Qiaoxi.
"It's nothing, it's just..." Song Qiaoxi looked out the window and comforted in a low voice, "Don't care about those rumors in the school, they are all false rumors, I have already told the dean, the school will find out."
"Just because of this?" Chu Jin looked at her with interest and said slowly, "Are you worried about me?"
The little girl's face was shrunk in the red woolen scarf, and her small face, which was already the size of a palm, became even smaller, with a pair of almond eyes that seemed to be sprinkled with crystals. She blinked a little nervously, and her eyes flickered.
In just a few seconds, her white tender and tofu-like face turned into a tender pink little by little, and her small pearl-like earlobes also turned into attractive little cherries.
It makes me want to take a bite.
"Ah, I care about you, no, can't you..." Song Qiaoxi's general offensive aura during the morning class break was instantly disintegrated because of Chu Jin's slow question.
She didn't know what she was shy about.
Obviously, caring about good friends, shouldn't it be normal?
"I don't have anything at all, it's just some boring rumors, I don't care." Chu Jin shrugged, looking in a good mood, smiled and pinched Song Qiaoxi's earlobe lightly.
For a while, I had never felt like an electric shock.
"The last bite of food, in our house, will always be yours." Chu Jin picked up the shrimp balls with chopsticks and wanted to feed them to her.
Because of that numb electric shock, Song Qiaoxi shrunk her neck, pinched her ears with her hands, and swayed her head just to miss the shrimp ball perfectly.
Afraid that the chopsticks would rub against her face, Chu Ji released his hands, and the ball rolled off the table "squeaky".
The two of them each took a tissue, subconsciously bent down together, and lowered their heads to pick up the naughty ball.
You must not eat it, but you can't dirty the environment in the store.
Song Qiaoxi tilted her head slightly and found that Chu Jin had already picked it up.
She reflected a beat later, and when she was about to look up, Chu Jin and her raised their heads and straightened up almost at the same time.
Soft lips brushed the boy's cheek inadvertently.
