give you joy

Chapter 5 His voice lowered: "Gao Yueyan, you are good to everyone, why do you treat me so badly?"

Xu Pan was the only one who witnessed the fight. She didn't have the habit of spreading the word, so naturally not many people knew about it.Gao Yueyan didn't even care about why there were two bruises on Shen Ziqiao's face, besides, the final exam was coming.

Along with the final exam, there is a new gossip that sneaks in silently. It is said that Shen Ziqiao from Class [-] is chasing Xu Pan from his class...

Xu Pan is good-looking, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, tall, with a straightforward and unambiguous personality, but he is completely different from the girls Shen Ziqiao chased before.

So most people don't really believe it, and Xu Pan also tried his best to clarify that they are buddies, but every time Shen Ziqiao comes to class to ask her to borrow something, it will make people feel that the relationship between the two is not simple .

Xu Pan didn't avoid suspicion, he took out what he wanted openly, and sometimes said a few words in the corridor.

There was a lot of discussion in the class, and there were several versions about who was chasing whom, but because the exam was approaching and it was a key class, after all, I was not as concerned about my relationship as I was about my grades, and gradually less people asked about it.

Every time there is a big exam in high school, the level of tension and solemnity is not much less than that of the college entrance examination.Yue Yan was busy with reviewing and doing homework all day long. She only slept for five or six hours for several weeks. She was so sleepy that she lay down on the table and squinted for a while during the big class break in the morning.She was seated by the window, and the sunlight slanted in from the window next to her, covering her and Sun Weiwei's desk completely.

Within 2 minutes of closing the eyes, the light and shadow on the eyelids suddenly became much darker.She reacted dazedly for a moment, thinking that the teacher from the next class was coming, and forced to open her eyes, only to meet the gaze of the boy outside the window.

He stood against the light, and the light softened the contours of his face. The lines of his shoulders and waist were trimmed with gold, making him look extraordinarily tall.

Meeting her gaze, Shen Ziqiao looked at her calmly for a few seconds, then moved away.

Her first reaction was to poke the corner of her lips with her hand, but she didn't drool, luckily.

Soon he found the person he was looking for, Xu Pan ran out of the classroom lightly, and handed over what he wanted.

Before he left, he flipped through the notebook in his hand, and asked her casually, "Are you sleepy, do you want me to get you a cup of coffee?"

Xu Pan is not the hypocritical kind of girl, she readily agreed: "Okay, I want American style."

So before the bell rang for the next class, Gao Yueyan, who was sorting out the wrong questions, obviously felt that there was another person standing by the window, completely blocking the morning sun.The hand holding the pen paused for a moment, and as if feeling something, she looked up.Shen Ziqiao stood where he had stood before, with an extra school uniform jacket on his body, the sleeves were roughly rolled up to his forearms, with a normal expression, looking at her like a passerby.

"Please give this to Xu Pan, thank you."

There are four words in a sentence that Yueyan doesn't often hear from Shen Ziqiao's mouth, and she can't express what it feels like. Yueyan took the notebook he handed over dumbly, and was about to sit down when she heard him say: " etc."

and also?

Yueyan almost frowned, holding back her temper to see what tricks he wanted to do.Like a conjuring, Shen Ziqiao brought out two cups of hot coffee out of nowhere, in disposable cups with their high school logo printed on the outside.

"Give."

Yueyan felt that there was something wrong with her, and when he gave it to her, she really took both glasses, and then looked at him in a daze after she got it, as if asking: Who do you want to give it to?

There was a faint smile in his dark eyes, Shen Ziqiao put his hands on the window sill, so that there was half a wall between them, and he could almost touch her arm as long as he stretched out his hand, he said: "Give Xu a hand, too." climb."

Xu Pan went to the bathroom, and came back from the bathroom just before class, Yueyan called her to stop, and handed back the notebook to her face to face, Xu Pan thanked her, but only took a cup of coffee, saying that he could not drink so much, and the rest One cup is just Xie Yueyan.Yueyan has only loved sweet things since she was a child, and she doesn't like bitter coffee at all, and it's not easy to pour it off, so she just frowned and drank it on the spot all morning.

So throughout the morning, the sweet aroma of coffee was lingering around their desks, and the students who passed by couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then praised: "It smells so good."

It is indeed very fragrant and not as bitter as imagined. It may be that more milk and sugar have been added, and the unique sweetness of coffee beans can be tasted.

In order to meet the final exam, Yueyan moved back home from school. The time for reviewing was very tight. Yueyan hardly even went out of the room. The night before, Yueyan went to bed early, and the next day she had agreed to let Gao Zhiming drive to school, but he had an impromptu meeting and gave the children money to take them there by themselves.

Taking a taxi meant taking the same car with Shen Ziqiao. This was the last thing Gao Yueyan wanted to see, so as soon as she stepped out of the house, she walked directly to the nearest bus stop. After walking not far, there were footsteps behind her. , not far or near.

She waited until she got into the car without even looking at Shen Ziqiao.

Students from their school also came up on the way, and the number of people gradually increased. The carriage was crowded, and Gao Yueyan was pushed to the back, separated by a long distance from Shen Ziqiao.

Few people in the school would not recognize Shen Ziqiao, the boys greeted him frequently, and some bold girls were encouraged by their peers to come up and talk to him.He was pulling the hook with one hand, his expression was very calm, he was perfunctory to others, and he nodded slightly, and he could see Gao Yueyan who was sitting behind and chatting with the girl next to him.

There are no strict rules on clothing during the exam, so she is wearing her own clothes, a bright yellow short dress with a lotus leaf collar, rolled with white edges, her hair is draped over her shoulders, and she wears a thin glittering scarf between her hair. The headband of the same color, a bit like a high school student, but also a little bit different, from the beginning to the end of the dress, there is nothing out of the ordinary, but it looks different from others.

Gao Zhiming loves this daughter very much.

Gradually growing up, Shen Ziqiao also learned about those lovely and lovable places.

Maybe something interesting was mentioned, the two girls touched their heads lightly and laughed.Gao Yueyan covered her mouth, put her arms around the schoolbag on her lap, her eyes were bent like crescent moons.

In the early summer morning, the sun was just right, the sky was blue and the wind was clear. The bus carrying many students arrived at the school quickly. Amid mutual cheers and blessings, the students got off the bus one by one and entered the final battlefield before the end of their sophomore year.

The speed of machine grading is very fast. Within two days after the test, the school will calculate the total score and rank it out.It may be due to the lack of English, Gao Yueyan was admitted to the top five in the class for the first time, and squeezed into the ranks of top students. This is a good result that has never been achieved before.Because it is a key class and a science class, almost all the students who can enter this class are the best in the previous class.

Gao Zhiming was overjoyed when the report card came out. The father saw his daughter's hard study this semester, and he saw more than that: when he was about to have conflicts with his stepmother countless times, it was His daughter was giving way, giving up the room, giving Ziqiao extra lessons, and living in school... And she never told herself that this stepmother was anything but.

No adult is a fool. Because of experience and age, what they see and think is far deeper and farther than young people. The daughter's understanding is certainly gratifying, but it is not the quality that a father most wants his children to have. He was very afraid that Yueyan would be wronged and manipulated by others if she continued like this.

So he didn't go back to Jilin that summer vacation, and took his daughter to Southeast Asia with the company's team building team. He took his daughter with him, and his original intention was to keep in touch with the family relationship between father and daughter, and let her see how he did things by the way. How to court people, how to negotiate a contract.

Adults gallop in the ups and downs of the business world, which is undoubtedly boring for teenage girls.At the end of the meeting, it became a meeting next to Gao Zhiming, and Yue Yan was doing homework on the small coffee table by herself.

At that time, she felt that she was cheated by her father and agreed to come here for a trip, but in the end she didn't even meet a few foreigners.

On the other hand, Li Huifen took her son and daughter back to Sichuan for the summer vacation. In mid-August, they returned to Hangzhou two days earlier than Gao Zhiming and his daughter.

This summer vacation is also the longest vacation Shen Ziqiao has ever spent in his life. The first thing he does when he wakes up every day is to check his mobile phone and check the space to see if there is any news about Gao Yueyan.

Counting it, he hasn't seen Yueyan for almost two months.

In the second half of the summer vacation, she went to Vietnam with her father, watched a puppet show, made horses and killed chickens, went to the Confucian Temple with the locals to pray for blessings, and returned to the hotel with newly folded green plants.It was already very late, and the phone was charging in the room, only then did she see the QQ message from Shen Ziqiao, saying that she had something urgent to call for her.

urgent matter?After tapping the screen a few times with her fingers, she frowned and turned back with a question mark.

Before he could reply, she thought he was asleep, put her phone aside, and she took off her hair tie and went to the bathroom to wash her face.

I just saw his message before going to bed at night.

"Nothing, just ask when you will come back."

When she came back, Yueyan brought gifts for the whole family, a facial mask for her sister Shen Xiner, perfume for her stepmother Li Huifen, and a rubber pillow for Shen Ziqiao.At the dinner table, everyone chatted and laughed and asked about their experience abroad. The atmosphere was harmonious, and Yue Yan was naturally praised as the center of the topic. I don't know why, but when I went to a subtropical country, Yue Yan turned pale. It was Shen Xiner Noticing first, Shen Ziqiao looked up after him.Gao Zhiming explained with a smile: "This kid doesn't want to go out to play, so he stays in the hotel and studies hard every day."

Helpless tone, but can not hear the meaning of helplessness.Hinting that their children are studious and motivated is a topic that every parent likes to talk about.

Li Huifen also laughed: "That's not in vain."

Gao Zhiming said: "There will be more opportunities in the future. When they grow up, let them go by themselves."

A reunion meal ended in a happy atmosphere.

After the meal, Gao Zhiming went back to the study to deal with business matters. Li Huifen drove outside to the beauty salon to have her face done. .

Shen Xin'er played and chatted with Yueyan for a while, then she turned to the other side of the sofa to reply to text messages, her fingers flew like flying, and the smile on the corner of her mouth could not be removed.

Yueyan peeled an orange for her and she didn't even have time to eat it. She asked her to feed it to her mouth one by one, but she just hugged a mobile phone and looked at it non-stop, laughing non-stop.

Yueyan tilted her head, sucked her fingers and asked curiously: "Sister, are you in a relationship?"

The two were about the same age, and Shen Xiner didn't treat Yueyan as an ignorant child, she admitted sweetly: "That's right."

"Who?"

"You don't know either."

"I'll know after I've said it," Yueyan took off her shoes and squeezed to her side, shaking her arm lightly, acting like a baby, "Sister, just tell me."

She was used to being coquettish with her grandparents, so soft and sweet, Shen Xiner couldn't help it, so she had to compromise, leaned over and whispered the boy's name in her ear.

The two words are very familiar, because I have heard them too many times at home, Yue Yan reacted for two seconds, then suddenly took a breath, and looked at Shen Xin'er with wide eyes, feeling unbelievable but seemed to be taken for granted.

All emotional occurrences are actually hidden signs.

"Didn't you promise to break up with your mother?"

Because she was too shocked and didn't control the volume, Shen Xin'er came over to cover her mouth in a hurry, and warned in a low voice: "So little ancestor, don't scream, let daddy know, then it's really over."

Yueyan understood, blinked, and manually closed a zipper on her mouth.

Shen Xin'er pinched her cheeks, she was really satisfied: "Hey, help my sister keep it a secret, and let your brother-in-law treat you to a big meal in the next year."

"Okay, let's go have a barbecue."

"Here, let me show you a picture of your brother-in-law."

The pixel of the mobile phone is not high, and it was taken in a far away place. Under the bright sunlight, the boy is grinning, his skin is not white, and his eyes are long and thin.

I can't say he's not handsome, but after hearing so many stories about him and his sister, I can't help thinking, why is he such a person.

Yueyan was looking at their group photo with her mobile phone, while Shen Xiner explained softly beside her: "His name is Han Zhen, he is from the north, he is a year older than me, he is very smart and motivated, you don't know, his family is under a lot of pressure. The older one, the boss again, and the two younger siblings, his tuition and living expenses are all earned by himself...and he is really good at taking care of people..."

Yueyan silently sketched the image of that person in her mind, and her previous prejudices gradually changed, and it seemed that this person was not as bad as Li Huifen said.

When she heard Shen Xiner say that he was good at taking care of others, Yueyan's heart was touched for a moment, she leaned over silently, hugged Shen Xiner's waist obediently, and put her face on her shoulder with attachment.Shen Xin'er lowered her head, and rubbed the back of her fingers against the half of her face covered in her hair, a little puzzled: "What's the matter?"

Yueyan's voice buried in the sweater was low and thin, and it sounded a bit sad: "Sister... Is it hard work to be the boss, to be an example, to listen to what parents say, and to always let our younger brothers and sisters... "

The heart gradually became softer and softer, so soft that it was shapeless, Shen Xiner touched her head, her eyes were gentle: "How could it be, we are so good-looking."

After packing up the books and textbooks for the start of school, Yueyan went to brush her teeth and wash her face. After washing up, she came out of the bathroom. The door of the next bedroom was suddenly pushed open from the inside. Smile.

Seeing that she just looked at him without saying a word, Shen Ziqiao smiled again.

"Are you really planning to never talk to me in your life?"

Yue Yan pursed her lips.

He lowered his voice, looking confused: "Gao Yueyan, you are kind to everyone, why should you treat me so badly?"

Can it be her fault?
She can't forget the feeling of grievance in her heart, and when this feeling is brought by close people around her, the effect will even be doubled.

So she can gradually let go of Cao Bin and the girl who threw water on her, but she can't let go of her knot and face Shen Ziqiao properly.

Because in her heart, Shen Ziqiao was different from them.

Do boys understand?

"Because others never do inexplicable things." Without even thinking about it, Yueyan replied, afraid that when she said it again, she would forgive him again.

Shen Ziqiao lowered his head and approached, his breath gently blowing in the hair on the top of her head, bringing a hot and slightly numb feeling.Yue Yan thought that he would argue, that he would clarify, that he would talk about him, but she didn't expect the apology to be so straightforward.

"sorry."

How difficult it is for a boy to bow his head and admit his mistakes, this is a problem that every girl will worry about when she grows up.

It depends on how much he loves you, how much he cherishes you, and how much he hates you.

He understands.

"Yanyan, don't be angry with me, okay?"

Her heart trembled, and the yelling made her almost cry.

Looking up, what appeared in front of his eyes was no longer the domineering look when he said he wanted to chase her, but earlier, earlier, when the two quarreled and quarreled, they would soon make up again. Sometimes his mouth is very bad, but Sometimes he is very nice, she is physically punished by her father, he holds her down, she is teased by someone, he calls... Ah, there are so many long and beautiful moments, how could she get angry because of such a small thing? him for so long.

Gao Zhiming was right. His daughter is sometimes self-willed and sometimes well-behaved, but in essence, she still has a heart as precious as gold.

"No, I'm not angry with you, I just don't know how to face you." Yueyan was very sincere, with a faint mist floating in her big bright eyes.She is so pure and clean.

"It's over, isn't it?" Shen Ziqiao saw her staring intently, and couldn't help laughing out loud. The atmosphere between the two of them became more relaxed with this smile, and Shen Ziqiao's tone became ruffled, "Then give me a hug." .”

That night they chatted late on QQ and talked about everything, including the matter of Xu Pan. He will go to the class to find her.

The fluorescence reflected from the phone illuminated the corners of the girl's upturned lips, and she pulled down the screen with her slender fingers. Looking at the passages sent by the boy, she thought: This idiot.

The screens may be linked together.

With one hand behind his head, the boy lay on his back on the bed in his bedroom, holding up his mobile phone, sliding his thumb up, and finally saw a sentence from the girl at the bottom: I believe in you.

Lazily pulling the corner of his mouth, Shen Ziqiao let out a breath, put the phone on his chest, the screen rushed down, and the room without the lights turned on was instantly dark.

In the darkness, I could hear the sound of his heart beating up and down, it was deep and quiet.

Yueyan, who looks eccentric, is actually a little belated, especially when dealing with relationship issues.

Shen Ziqiao said that Xu Pan was wanted by others, and she believed it.

Shen Ziqiao said that confessing to her was just a joke, and she believed it.

Picking up the phone and putting it in front of his eyes, Shen Ziqiao read those three words again.

The simple three words looked at him for a long time, as if a lifetime could be spent on it.

Lowering his eyelids, he confirmed one thing helplessly: this is a little idiot.

Occasionally squeamish, often confused, indulgently bordering on stupid, all the more precious for that.

The day before the start of summer vacation, Shen Xiner fulfilled her promise and brought a pair of younger siblings to see Han Zhen.

Referring to Yueyan's suggestion, the location was set at the self-service barbecue restaurant on the sixth floor of the World Trade Plaza. Shen Xiner drove Yueyan and Shen Ziqiao to meet Han Zhen who arrived earlier.

What I want to see is my future brother-in-law and cousin. Han Zhen is obviously more nervous than everyone else. He has reserved a seat a week in advance. He has repeatedly confirmed the time with the store two days ago and made an appointment for lunch at [-] noon. As a result, he arrived at the store two hours earlier than scheduled.

Yue Yan could see Han Zhen's nervousness and uneasiness. It could be seen that this boy really cherishes Shen Xiner, so he tried his best to impress his younger siblings, take good care of them, and eat by himself Almost didn't eat much, and patronized to bake them.

Zhou Wu couldn't even look at Yue Yan anymore, and called him over to eat together, Han Zhen just smiled: "I'm not hungry, just tell me what you want to eat." Shen Xiner felt sorry for her boyfriend, and took an ice towel to help him Wiping his face, Han Zhen was very embarrassed in front of his siblings, and reached out to take it, but she didn't expect Shen Xiner's hand to reach his face, and gently wiped off the oil on his face from the smoke, complaining affectionately : "They came here after dinner, and they have hands and feet, what do you care about them?"

Han Zhen was pulled from the grill to the table by Shen Xiner, and after sitting down for a long time, he couldn't stop peeling the shells for her, and couldn't help but smile when he saw it.

Han Zhen was embarrassed by her smile, looked at her and Shen Ziqiao, and was a little curious: "Which one of you is older?"

Yue Yan rushed to say: "He is my younger brother."

Shen Ziqiao didn't even think about it: "Dream you."

Everyone at the table laughed.

After dinner, the group of four made an appointment to go to the movies, Shen Ziqiao went to buy tickets, Shen Xiner went to the bathroom, Han Zhen carried her bag for her, and went to line up to buy popcorn.

Leaving Yueyan waiting for them alone, the wall of the cinema hall was covered with movie posters that will be released next month, introducing the plot and actors, including her favorite stars, and when she was engrossed in watching, someone took a picture of her Left shoulder, she looked back, and the man on her right said, "Pig, where are you looking?"

Yueyan puffed up her cheeks and asked him, "Have you bought the ticket yet?"

"Ah."

"let me see."

Shen Ziqiao spread out his palm, Yueyan pointed at the movie ticket in his palm, and looked at him in confusion: "Why are there only two tickets?"

Scratching his temples, Shen Ziqiao curled his lips: "Are you stupid, thinking that your big light bulb is not bright enough?"

It seems to make sense.

So the arrangement for the afternoon became that Shen Xiner and Han Zhen went to the movies, while Yue Yan and Shen Ziqiao hung out in the commercial building, waiting for them to come out.

The next floor is full of women's clothing, summer is clear, there are a variety of shirts and long skirts, and it is the promotion season, and there are girls carrying big bags and small bags everywhere.

The two were lying on the railing of the elevator and looked at the booth where the activities were held downstairs. It was an open-air singing competition, and it was hard to tell which one sang better.Putting her cheeks on her side, Yueyan sighed a little bored.

Suddenly, as if just remembering, Yueyan turned her head and asked: "Then why don't you buy it separately?"

If you don't want to be a light bulb, it's fine if you don't sit together.

Shen Ziqiao shook his half-drunk mineral water bottle, knocked against the metal railing once and for all, and suddenly smiled brightly: "I didn't expect that."

Yue Yan has doubts on her face, obviously not convinced.

Shen Ziqiao didn't explain, and looked aside with a smile, and changed the topic: "Hey, don't you want to go shopping and buy some clothes?"

"Don't go."

"No money?" He raised his eyebrows and wanted to take the wallet from his trouser pocket, "Brother will give you money to buy."

She shook her head: "I have enough clothes."

Thinking of something, Shen Ziqiao raised the corner of his lips and looked at her with a smile: "Well, it's really enough."

Knowing that he had no good words in his mouth, she gave him a lazy look, and Yue Yan looked elsewhere aimlessly.

Being so blanked by her, there was a small flame in his heart, and his Adam's apple rolled a few times. Shen Ziqiao followed her eyes impatiently and looked over, it was a milk tea shop.

"Do you want to drink? I invite you."

she thought.So follow him slowly.

This milk tea shop has just become popular on the Internet recently, and there is a long queue at the door, all young people.Yueyan and Shen Ziqiao were in the middle, and in front of them was a young couple who didn't look a few years older than them. The boy said something that might offend his girlfriend. The girl patted his back and shoulders with a half smile and half annoyance. The boy Holding her arms with one hand, playing around and dodging, he was about to bump into Yueyan behind him, Shen Ziqiao had quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed her head towards his chest, raised his arms and pushed the boy's back, coldly: "Don't you look at the road?"

The girl in the couple saw Shen Ziqiao's face clearly and heard what he said, apologetically but also shyly patted the boy on the shoulder: "I told you to walk carelessly."

The boy repeatedly apologized to the back.

Shen Ziqiao let go of Yueyan, and put a protective hand on her shoulder. Yueyan stood up straight, rubbing her painful forehead in a daze.The girl's body and hair always seem to be fragrant.

What does a guy think when he hugs a girl he likes?
Usually they don't think about anything, their hearts are beating fast, and every organ that is mobilized is feeling desire.

Feeling that Yueyan was about to look up at him, Shen Ziqiao looked at other places as if nothing had happened.

After coming out of the milk tea shop, I went shopping again, and finally spent an afternoon at the playground on the top floor of the commercial building.

Seeing Shen Ziqiao waiting outside the passageway with a big bear, Shen Xiner wanted to pretend that she didn't know him. The bear was about the height of a junior high school student, and it was lying on the boy's shoulder in a way of hugging, Yueyan was still beside him. Said: "Give me a hug, I'll hug you."

So one raised his head and the other hugged his feet.

He was about to give her the bear.

The blood pressure soared in an instant, Shen Xiner almost passed out, and shouted decisively: "Whoever dares to bring this bear home, I will not take anyone home!"

On the way home, Shen Xiner drove, Shen Ziqiao sat in the passenger seat, and Yueyan sat behind.

and that big bear.

Shen Xin'er took a look, and her heart ached once.

This bear is really too big. When she stuffed it into the car, Shen Xiner felt that all the parents in the parking lot were covering their children's eyes, lest they say they wanted it too.

Driving past their high school, Yueyan, who had played wildly all day, was extremely sleepy. She leaned against the big bear and gradually fell asleep, her face was buried in the fluff, her hands were softly resting on the bear's belly, her breathing was quiet, and she slept soundly. Cheeks flushed.

The trees outside the window flowed over her like water.

Shen Ziqiao reached out and turned down the volume of the car stereo.

Shen Xiner glanced at the rearview mirror, then shook her head: "Mom must tell."

"Let's just talk about it. Are there still many things she can't get used to?"

When it came to something that she was not used to, Shen Xiner glanced at him and put one hand on the stall: "Where's your little girlfriend, are you still dating?"

"It was 800 years ago."

"You know what is the most important thing at this stage."

He was spread out in the car seat, the seat belt passed across his sunken abdomen, one leg was half-bent, and the other stretched out, looking at the front of the car with narrowed eyes: "There are a few."

"Where do you want to fill in the volunteers?"

Shen Ziqiao pressed his neck a few times and said lazily, "It's still early."

Taking advantage of the few seconds when the red light was on, Shen Xiner stretched out her hands to pinch his ears, her voice was also small, a little annoyed: "What are you thinking, Mom is dying of anxiety."

Shen Ziqiao nodded, but didn't hide. Looking at the road conditions, he said, "Driving sister, please pay attention to the traffic rules."

Shen Xiner shifted gears angrily, and let off the brakes.

Every city has its own magnificent moments, and Hangzhou is the most beautiful in the evening, when the sunset is stuck between the floors and slowly falling, and the vehicles covered by the afterglow are gathering at the street in an orderly manner, everyone has a destination, even if it is just Looking at the people on the street and the trees on the side of the road, you can watch for a long time...

The car window reflected the young man's slightly raised lips, his clean and handsome appearance, resolute and directional.

"There's no need to be so anxious. I'll report for Yan Yan in the future. How easy it is."
