Falling Heart

Chapter 18

Xie Mingchao raised his hand and glanced at his watch. There were still 5 minutes before the end of get out of class. He was about to return to the classroom. Zhou Chen called him impatiently: "Hello, Xie Mingchao!"

He glanced in the direction of the hospital bed, and Zhou Chen immediately fell silent.

After leaving the door of the infirmary, Xie Mingchao lifted his eyes to look at him, and said in a lazy voice, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Chen glared at him resentfully, the slanted bangs covering half of his eyes swayed with his mood swings, "Aren't there any girls in your class? Why do you want to hug her?"

Xie Ming glanced at him expressionlessly, "I'm her deskmate, the closest to her." When he lowered his eyes, he caught a glimpse of the composition in his hand, "Your Goddess' masterpiece will be ruined by you."

Zhou Chen hurriedly lowered his head to check, smoothed out the wrinkles and then raised his head. Xie Mingchao had disappeared.

He picked it up carefully, "Forget it, let's plastic-pack the goddess' composition first."

When Shen Qing woke up, she heard noisy sounds outside the window, like the faint tremor of the ground, accompanied by the sound of music that was sometimes distant and near.

The pain in the abdomen was no longer there, but I was so exhausted that I couldn't lift my hands, and I could only barely turn my head.

"woke up?"

A familiar clear voice sounded from outside the curtain, Shen Qing was startled, and tentatively asked: "Xie Mingchao?"

When he spoke, his voice became hoarse.

There was a rustling sound of chairs moving outside, "Is it convenient to come in?"

"can."

The curtain was lifted, Xie Mingchao stood still in front of the bed with a glass of water, "Get up and drink."

Shen Qing tried to sit up relying on the strength of her elbows, but her head rose a little and then fell down weakly. She smiled awkwardly, "I don't seem to be able to get up."

Xie Mingchao put the water on the table, sat up while supporting her arm, she unconsciously leaned against him, and when she realized it, she pulled herself together and opened the distance.

Although it was not the first time he touched her, the roots of his ears turned red when he felt the softness of his palm.

Before carrying her to the infirmary in a hurry, I didn't have the mind to pay attention to other things, but now I can smell the faint fragrance of pear blossoms on her body at close range.

Shen Qing picked up the water and drank it by herself, not noticing that something was wrong with him, "Thank you for sending me to the infirmary."

Her voice was clearer than before, Xie Mingchao came back to his senses, and looked into her clear eyes as soon as he lowered his eyes, his eyelids trembled slightly, and he quickly looked away.

"Ah."

"Don't you need to do exercises?" Listening to the movement outside, Shen Qing asked blankly.

Probably because of his weakness, his usually cold and proud voice softened a lot, and it sounded much softer.

Xie Mingchao paused, "Old Ban asked me to come and take care of you."

The water glass in her hand almost loosened, "Student Xie condescended to free up precious exercise time, I am really flattered."

He calmly sat back on his seat, picked up the book on the stool, "You're welcome, you owe me another favor."

"Again?" The last sip of water that Shen Qing had just drank was choked in her throat, and she almost choked, "When..."

She suddenly remembered the cow and horse incident that he promised when he returned his sketchbook.

"But you stole my sketchbook first..."

Xie Mingchao chuckled, and lazily raised his eyes, "If you want to say who offends first, it's you, the woman..." He remembered being reminded by her poking his waist, and changed his words again, "You first break into the men's room to peep."

Shen Qing tried to defend: "I didn't do it on purpose!"

The fair little face even became blood-colored because of the increased volume.

"Why did you go to the bar that day?" He didn't talk about breaking into the men's bathroom by mistake, and changed the subject.

"Celebrating with my friends... I fell into a sea of ​​misery," Shen Qing remembered Gong Xiaoxiao and Chen Qian's malicious instigation, frowned and greeted the two in her heart, and then realized that Xie Mingchao was there at that time, "Then why are you also there?" ?”

Xie Mingchao clearly remembered that day when Chen Ziwan acted coquettishly and begged him to help bring the signature wine of Yese Bar, and said truthfully: "Bring wine for the family."

Shen Qing looked a little better after drinking the hot water, "Did you get your cool motorcycle back?"

"No, I don't have time recently, I'll go on the weekend." The running bell outside had stopped, and he closed his book and got up, "If you still feel uncomfortable, I'll ask the old class for leave for you."

Her eyes lit up, "Then thank you in advance."

That's great, I can go home early and have a big meal made by Aunt Li.

Xie Mingchao glanced at her gradually rosy face, and did not expose her, "But there is an exchange."

The corners of Shen Qing's raised mouth froze, and he persuaded earnestly: "Xie Mingchao, you can't be too stingy."

"It's good for both of us not to talk about feelings but only about interests," he glanced at the crowd returning to the classroom in an orderly manner outside the door, "Class will start soon, I'll give you a minute to think about it."

She gritted her teeth, "I promise."

"Come with me to the Traffic Management Office on Saturday."

Shen Qing didn't know why, but could only respond: "OK."

*
For Shen Qing, the only human aspect of Yunhe No. [-] Middle School is that all grades except senior high school students have weekends.

She originally wanted to stay at home and finish drawing the q print of the traffic policeman, but Xie Mingchao asked her to go to the traffic control office together by name, so she had to give up temporarily.

"Aunt Li, I'm going out for a while."

Li Xin was mopping the floor, Shen Qing said by the way when passing by.

She nodded with a kind smile, "Okay, come back early."

Xie Mingchao went to the city library early in the morning, and he asked Shen Qing to find him at ten o'clock.

While walking towards the gate of the community, Shen Qing angrily kicked the stones on the side of the road, "Who is it, you want me to pick him up?"

Someone bumped her body suddenly, and she was knocked to the ground before she had time to react.

Shen Qing clutched her sore shoulder painfully, and looked at the culprit.

It looks like she is dressed as a woman. Under the wide fisherman's hat, sunglasses and a mask completely cover her face.

Chen Ziwan quickly helped her up, "I'm sorry, are you okay?"

Shen Qing was inexplicably familiar with this voice, but she couldn't remember where she heard it for a while.

She pressed her waist, which was not fully healed, "It's okay, just be more careful when you walk next time."

"Your waist is injured?" Chen Ziwan seemed to be hiding from someone, she kept looking around, and when she noticed her movement, she could only take out a pen and paper from her pocket and quickly write down a series of numbers, "You will contact me later. With this number, you can reimburse the medical expenses as much as you want.”

She lowered the brim of her hat a little, and quickly walked away along the edge of the flower bed with her cat bent.

Shen Qing looked at the string of numbers on the note, and felt quite familiar.

She took out her mobile phone and opened WeChat, tried to search for this string of numbers, and the result that popped up was Xie Mingchao's name.

Shen Qing thought she had typed the wrong number, and confirmed it several times. It was indeed Xie Mingchao.

She didn't think about the relationship between the two, "She must have made a mistake."

Anyway, the waist injury was not hit by her.

On the way to the library, Shen Qing stopped by the pharmacy and bought a muscle and bone sticker, planning to go back and put it on.
