For the whole self-study class, Zhong Keke was staring at the photo and looking at it over and over.
Zoom in and out.
Zoom in again, zoom out again.
Have fun.
In the photo, the man's facial features are three-dimensional, the outline is clear, his bright and clean eyebrows are slightly squinting at her, standing there calmly, watching gently.
It's a look I've never seen before.
At the very least, Zhong Keke had never seen him look at him with such eyes in all these years.
It's not like he's looking at his sister.
It's like... paying attention to girls who are interested.
As long as she thinks of him looking at herself like this, Zhong Keke feels restless and excited, and even has the urge to go downstairs and run two laps, but because of the self-study class, she can only pretend to lie down On the table, cheeks are hot.
So, does Jiang Yuqiao like her
can you
Thinking of this, Zhong Keke snorted and buried his head under his arms.
But even if this is true, she will be fine, and Jiang Yuqiao will be fine, because Zhong Keke knows that the most important thing now is the college entrance examination.
Only by getting into a good university can she be worthy of him standing on the top of the mountain.
…
Like a chicken blood, in the days to come, Zhong Keke spent every day aggressively.
She didn't ask Jiang Yuqiao about the photo, and Jiang Yuqiao didn't say anything. The two seemed to maintain a certain spirit of contract. Only on weekends would they video chat at a fixed time.
Occasionally when the two of them face each other.
She would inexplicably see a delicate, never-before-seen tenderness in Jiang Yuqiao's eyes.
This feeling was like a kind of secret encouragement. In the next two months, Zhong Keke's grades rose steadily as if he was on the hook.
In a test before the college entrance examination, she even scored 89th in the school.
It was already very hot in Rongcheng at this time.
Zhong Keke wore the summer school uniform, ran home with the transcript, turned on his mobile phone as soon as he entered the door, and wanted to share the joy with Jiang Yuqiao immediately.
I want to prove to him - you see, Coco is also very good, and can get into a good university.
With this excited mood, Zhong Keke took a deep breath for a long time, and then called Jiang Yuqiao for the first time at a time when the two never communicated.
However, at this moment, she couldn't imagine what would happen next, she just waited quietly and obediently.
The phone just rang.
You can jump on the girl's lap with a "meow".
The evening breeze blew sultry heat, and the sunset tinted the sky crimson.
Everything is so normal and peaceful.
Until the call was connected, an unfamiliar female voice with an obvious southern soft accent came along the current and said "hello".
Zhong Keke, who had originally had the corners of his mouth grinning to his temples, had a stagnant expression.
The other end asked softly, "Is it Sister Coco?"
Zhong Keke didn't react, "Who are you...?"
The girl's voice was gentle, "I'm his friend."
Suddenly, the air quieted down.
The girl smiled suddenly, "Brother Yuqiao is in the hospital now. He left his mobile phone at home. If you have anything, you can tell me first, and I will help you pass it on."
Hearing this, Zhong Keke: "..."
The two didn't say much.
Maintaining a fairly good tone, Zhong Keke hung up the phone, then leaned back on the chair in a daze, blinking blankly.
The girl's light-hearted tone, as well as the calmness and swagger hidden behind it, echoed clearly in her mind.
She said she was a friend of Jiang Yuqiao.
But what kind of friend is he who can stay at his house at this time and answer the phone for him
Zhong Keke was inexplicably flustered.
There is also a kind of own exclusive baby, the suffocation of being occupied by others.
After a few seconds, he picked up the phone and called Fu Yuanhang immediately.
Among these friends, Fu Yuanhang and Jiang Yuqiao have the best relationship. If anything happens to Jiang Yuqiao, he will know immediately.
But unfortunately, Fu Yuanhang's phone couldn't get through.
It was only then that Zhong Keke remembered that Grandma Fu Yuanhang was ill, and he was taking care of him outside.
"… "
Somewhat annoyed, he hung up the phone, and Zhong Keke was lying on the table with a frown.
In the end, she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart. She felt that maybe she was thinking too much. People like Jiang Yuqiao who were not close to women would not fall in love so casually.
But on the other hand, she was a little worried, worried that something really happened.
This kind of restless feeling was like a small fire tormenting her on both sides, making Zhong Keke extremely uncomfortable.
In fact, she knew that the most direct way was to ask Jiang Yuqiao in person.
But the truth is, she didn't dare.
Because she was afraid to call Jiang Yuqiao and hear his apologetic voice - yes, I have a girlfriend.
Thinking of this, Zhong Keke's eyes blushed unbearably, and suddenly thought of another person.
It was Liu Xi who added WeChat in the dormitory last time.
Like catching a life-saving straw, Zhong Keke immediately found his WeChat and quickly sent a message: [Hello brother, I am Jiang Yuqiao's sister, Zhong Keke.]
After the message was sent, there was a long silence.
Zhong Keke was restless, swaying around in the chair, and after waiting for a long time, the other side replied: [Oh, it's Coco, remember, what's wrong?]
Seeing the news, Zhong Keke's eyes finally lit up.
With a feeling similar to hypoxia, she continued typing: [I want to ask you one thing.]
Liu Xi: [Huh?]
Zhong Keke: [My brother, does he have a girlfriend?]
Once the message was sent, the other end went quiet.
Zhong Keke stared blankly at the interface, so nervous that her palms were sweating. For a moment, she felt that it was more difficult than waiting for the results to be released.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Liu Xi to reply: [Girlfriend? Is he talking about a girlfriend?]
Seeing this, Zhong Keke relaxed for a moment, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, another message was sent over there, [I really don't know about this, mainly because he is out of town now, and I don't know much either]
see this.
Zhong Keke's brain "buzzed": [Outside? What field?]
Liu Xi seemed to be very puzzled: [Don't you know?]
Zhong Keke: [?]
Liu Xi didn't think too much about it, and told her everything he knew: [Brother Qiao went to Tong'an City No. 1 Hospital for training, and will go after the year.]
"… "
Zhong Keke could hardly believe everything in front of him.
Restraining her almost collapsed emotions, she seemed to use another soul to ask: [Isn't he planning to study for a Ph.D.?]
Liu Xi: [I don't understand either. Anyway, he suddenly decided to become a doctor after the year, and he didn't say why. No matter how the tutor kept him, it was useless. He seemed to have identified it there.]
Suddenly decided.
As if confirmed.
These words, like a hammer, struck Zhong Keke's fatal place, so that at this moment, her mind was dazed.
It was silent, as if a century had passed.
Zhong Keke finally regained his senses and typed the words with cold palms: [Okay, I understand, thank you brother]
In order to celebrate Zhong Keke's 100th year of school, grandpa went to the vegetable market to buy crabs and beef, and cooked her a hearty dinner.
However, when the little girl faced her favorite dish, she was not happy at all. Instead, she was lethargic as if she was sick.
Grandpa frowned at her uneasy look, "Coco?"
"… "
"cocoa?"
Zhong Keke heard this and sat up straight.
Grandpa pushed the rice in front of her, "what are you thinking, it's time to eat."
"Um."
Zhong Coco took the bowl and chopsticks obediently.
The old man saw that something was wrong and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable?"
"..." Zhong Keke squeezed his chopsticks and shook his head subconsciously, "No, maybe it's a little heatstroke."
"It's only been a few months, and I'm suffering from heat stroke." The old man glanced out the window, "but it is true that the temperature has not been low recently. Tomorrow, grandpa will help you cook some mung bean soup and bring it to school."
Zhong Keke lowered his eyebrows.
Suddenly, I remembered that when summer came, Jiang Yuqiao would bring her antipyretic stickers.
But this year.
There will be no more.
Thinking of this, her nose was sore, she couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, did you know that Brother Yuqiao went to Tong'an?"
The old man, who was thinking about how to cool off Zhong Keke's heat, pushed the flower mirror on the bridge of his nose incredulously, "Where are you going? Tong An?"
Hearing this tone, the dull pain in Zhong Keke's heart eased slightly.
The old man frowned and seemed puzzled, "What is he doing there?"
Zhong Coco stuffed the beef into his mouth and lied, "I don't know."
A dinner that was suffocating.
After finishing the dishes with grandpa, Zhong Keke went back to the bedroom.
After a hard rest day, she should have stayed at home to review her homework, but at this moment, she seemed to be out of her body,
The whole mind is on the place of Tong An.
It happened that Zhou Mingyue's hometown was here, and Zhong Keke asked her a few questions, such as how the temperature was over there and how much it cost to go back and forth.
Zhou Mingyue is not that stupid, and immediately noticed something was wrong, [Why are you asking this.]
Zhong Keke jumped out of WeChat to open 12306.
It was not until the train ticket was booked that she came back and told Zhou Mingyue: [I will go to Tong'an.]
Zhou Mingyue was stunned: [What are you doing there.]
Zhong Keke did not answer directly, but sent a voice while packing his schoolbag, [I told my grandfather to stay at your house tonight, if you have anything, remember to help me.]
Zhou Mingyue: [… ]
…
The decision was made suddenly.
Zhong Keke also bought the train ticket when his brain became hot.
Zhou Mingyue was quite opposed to this when she first learned about it, but after she heard the ins and outs, her attitude softened, "Forget it, I won't persuade you, and I can't persuade you."
"After all, whether it's good or bad, you can know it in your heart."
Zhong Keke had already headed to the train station at this time.
It was already evening, and the sultry wind swept the fragrance of flowers and plants, and the little girl looked at the street scene passing by the car window, her expression almost dejected.
After a while of silence, she said, "You don't have to worry about me, I'm fine."
Zhou Mingyue got angry with her, "Fart, how can it be okay."
Hearing this, Zhong Keke grinned, laughing more ugly than crying.
Yeah, how can it be okay.
It was obviously difficult to breathe, but she could only continue to do what she was supposed to do if she went to see Jiang Yuqiao.
In fact, before she came out, she had already thought very clearly.
She has to figure out everything, like, who is that woman, is it his girlfriend, and if so, what is she. So many days, what are those companions
Another example is why he came to this city and why didn't he tell her.
Too many questions are intertwined in my mind.
But in the final analysis, what saddens her the most is that Jiang Yuqiao quietly left the city.
It seems that in his eyes, she is just an insignificant child from beginning to end, and his future plans do not have any position that belongs to her, nor will there be any change because of her.
It was late at night when we arrived at Tong'an.
As soon as Zhong Keke got out of the train station, he took a taxi to the hospital's apartment building.
This address was given to her by Liu Xi, and Liu Xi helped her to find out. Now Jiang Yuqiao is a resident physician in the general surgery department of this hospital. Originally, Zhong Keke wanted to go directly to the hospital, but he didn't know why, so he suddenly decided to come here first.
Perhaps the most anxious answer in my heart is about that girl.
Zhong Keke even held some kind of fluke.
If she is not Jiang Yuqiao's girlfriend, she may be able to restrain her anger when questioning him. After all, he has no one to like, so she still has a glimmer of hope for the time being.
But the truth is far more cruel than expected.
When Zhong Keke came to the door of Jiang Yuqiao's apartment, she realized that she had no idea at all, if the person who opened the door was the girl, what would she do, how to speak, or even how to smile.
She was just a little girl who had just turned eighteen.
The childishness of the whole body has not taken off, and there is no experience in dealing with this kind of thing at all.
But she still came on a rampage.
Thinking of this, Zhong Keke was inexplicably nervous, and even wanted to retreat.
However, just when she hesitated to knock on the door, the security door in front of her suddenly opened.
A long-haired girl in a nightdress who didn't look much older than Zhong Keke appeared at the door. Her eyebrows have the temperament of a typical Jiangnan woman, exactly like Jiang Yuqiao would like.
Zhong Keke was stunned.
The girl put the garbage bag at the door and looked at her defensively, "Who are you looking for?"
hear this voice.
Zhong Keke's little heart slammed down as if it was tied to a piece of black iron.
It's the voice on the phone.
It was at this moment that she knew clearly that some answers had already been settled.
No need to ask at all.
Blinking his eyes pierced by the white light refracted from the room, Zhong Keke hurriedly lowered his head, unable to restrain himself, his eyes instantly moistened.
The girl was stunned, "Little sister, are you alright?"
"It's okay," Zhong Keke explained quickly with an undisguised sadness in his voice, "I found the wrong one, sorry."
