Chapter 6

There is a reunion in the dark, and every parting or meeting that fate arranges for you has its own reason.

Qiao Chuyi stepped forward sullenly, trying to keep up with his pace, but after walking for a while, Bo Zhaoxun stopped suddenly, she stopped abruptly, almost bumped into his arms, and he grabbed his shoulders just in time.

He walked her up and down, and finally asked: "Have you practiced martial arts for more than ten years?"

"...I learned a few poses from "The Legend of the Condor Heroes."

"Want to do justice for the heavens?"

"...Actually, I'm an acting personality."

"Give him a hand?"

"...that's what all the heroes in TV dramas say."

Bo Zhaoxun slowed down his tone: "What if he really fought with you just now?"

"Of course I ran as fast as I could." Qiao Chu said confidently, with a sly smile, "I had already thought about it before the challenge, as long as I can run past Zhou Chishen, and leave him there to be beaten."

"..."

He was angry and funny, and stopped talking about this topic.

It is not far from the main entrance of the sanatorium, and there are no people there. The ivy climbs the entire wall, shaking one after another with the wind, making a rustling sound.

Qiao Chuyi stroked her nails and stopped making a sound.

He didn't ask her why she came to Qinghuai, nor did she ask him why he appeared in the nursing center.

The blankness of the past few months has been compressed into a vacuum, and they all tacitly no longer mention the unhappiness of parting.

"Go home." Bo Zhaoxun took the schoolbag in her hand, carried it on his left shoulder, raised his chin, and motioned for her to follow.

Qiao Chuyi followed behind him, which was rare and well-behaved. She lowered her head and didn't say a word. The distance between the two was not too close or too far.

The sun tilted at an angle, and Bo Zhaoxun's line of sight was slightly tilted, and he saw two shadows, one long and one short, cast on the ground. The shadows were very close, as if they were intimate.

His heart turned a thousand times.

I planned to avoid her all the time, but I couldn't.

Many nights, as soon as he closed his eyes, he would think of the snowy land. She raised her head and asked cautiously, "Can I go to Qinghuai to find you?"

"I want to protect you, and stand up for you no matter what time..."

"I'm not afraid of anything."

The voice is soft, timid, and pleading.

In the end, she was about to cry, and the tip of her nose was flushed: "Didn't we agree?"

I often wake up with a start, the weather outside is freezing, and the dew is getting deeper.

There is a reunion in the dark, and every parting or meeting that fate arranges for you has its own reason.

The sanatorium is not far from home, only a ten-minute walk away, until the elevator dinged and stopped on the top floor, Qiao Chuyi woke up like a dream: "How do you know I live here?"

Bo Zhaoxun bent one leg and leaned against the door opposite her. The corridor was long and somewhat dim. The gray light fell between them, only his dark eyes were bright: "I live here too, neighbor."

Obviously, Qiao Chuyi's surprised expression pleased him, and Bo Zhaoxun's eyes were full of undisguised smiles. His voice was low and hoarse: "Go in."

Qiao Chuyi hesitated holding the key. She hadn't seen him for a long time. She wanted to stay with him for a while, even if she didn't say a word, she just wanted to stay very close to him.

"I'll watch you enter the door." Bo Zhaoxun moved a little closer, hung his schoolbag on her right elbow, and looked at his watch again, "I'm going to a training camp soon, and it's too late if I don't leave."

So, is it a special trip to take her home?
Qiao Chuyi didn't dare to ask, and didn't dawdle anymore, for fear of delaying his training camp, he quickly unlocked the door and entered. He closed the door tightly as soon as he said goodbye, and within half a second, he couldn't help but lie down on the peephole and look out.

I couldn't see his expression clearly, I could only see him stunned for a moment and then left.

Early the next morning, Qiao Chuyi went out for a morning run, and suddenly saw a plastic bag hanging on the doorknob of her house. She opened it suspiciously, and saw five roses made of carrots in a fresh-keeping bag.

The petals are layered on top of each other, very delicate.

You have to swipe the access control card to enter here, so it goes without saying who hung the things on her door.

It turned out that he had noticed her in the sanatorium yesterday.

After finally taking advantage of this opportunity, Qiao Chuyi wanted to thank Bo Zhaoxun well. He rehearsed the way of thanking him a hundred and eight times in his heart, but he never saw him again.

She inquired carefully and found out that Bo Zhaoxun is currently participating in the training for the Quick Calculation International Competition. If he can get a high ranking, then according to the school's "leadership plan" for the college entrance examination, he can be admitted by the Q University with a reduced score.

Leaving aside the reduced score admission, this competition alone is the opportunity that Bo Zhaoxun dreamed of to prove himself.

Goodbye he is at the sports meeting.

For the sports meeting, in Qiao Chuyi's opinion, there is no difference from childhood to adulthood.

She was afraid of hearing the gunshots, so she never signed up for the sports meeting. She was only responsible for writing broadcast scripts. According to the seasons, she wrote from "Spring in March, colorful flags fluttering" to "Golden autumn in October, colorful flags fluttering", without any new words.

This time was no exception, but when it was time for the relay race, the girl who was in charge of the last bat sprained her foot during the sprint in the preliminaries.

Although their class was lucky enough to advance to the final, but no matter what, the girls with sprained feet could no longer participate in the competition.

The second class originally had few girls, all of them were delicate and weak, and there were so many competitions, almost all of them who could be sent out to participate in the competition were sent out. No one could fill the vacancy in the relay race, and there were still 4 more in the relay race. × 100 meters and 4 × 400 meters.

I am not reconciled to giving up. What is more important in the sports meeting is not winning or losing, but the spirit of participation. It is always unreasonable to win without fighting.

The head teacher looked at the girls one by one, his eyes lit up, and he felt that Qiao Chuyi looked very suitable.

The reason is "Original intention, you see that you have a long neck and long legs, so you must run fast."

She didn't understand until she stood on the track that the speed of running had anything to do with the length of her neck.

Otherwise, why is the fastest animal in the world a cheetah and not a giraffe.

However, it turns out that the head teacher's eyes are indeed like the fire of samadhi, very vicious. In the 4×100-meter relay race, Qiao Chuyi ran the third leg. The second leg was still behind, so it passed to her. Chu Yi exhausted all his energy and ran forward desperately, ran to the leading position in one fell swoop, and passed the baton to the last person.

Won.

The students in Class Two burst into applause from the auditorium. Qiao Chuyi put her hands on her knees, bent over and gasped for breath.

I don't know how long she rested, her breathing gradually stabilized, a classmate handed her mineral water, Qiao Chu expressed her gratitude, took it, and drank half a bottle.

She moved her legs and feet, and her legs felt sore and sore as if they had been filled with lead.She wondered in her heart that her leg was strained because she didn't do warm-up exercises and ran too fast.

It's really a sports meeting with ups and downs.

When Qiao Chuyi was running, she was only wearing short sleeves, and she was sweating. The T-shirt was stuck to her back, and it was quickly dried by the cold wind. She put on her coat and shivered.

At night, Qiao Chuyi felt a little stuffy, probably caught a cold, and had no appetite for food, so she ate a few mouthfuls, and fell asleep on the bed in a daze.

The next day is the last day of the sports meeting, and the finale event is the 4×400-meter relay.

Yesterday, Qiao Chuyi was a blockbuster, and everyone in the class had high hopes for her. Qiao Chuyi didn't want to spoil everyone's interest, and she didn't say anything about her leg injury and cold.

She still ran third.

The first 100 meters were okay, she still took the lead and ran in the first position, halfway through the distance, she gradually felt strenuous.

Dizzy and dizzy, she saw one figure after another flying past in front of her. She wanted to catch up with her steps, but she had more energy than she wanted.

After running 300 meters, Qiao Chuyi had no ability to think at all, and was just running mechanically. Her chest was squeezed by the feeling of lack of oxygen, and she gasped for breath.

"Qiao Chuyi," the calm voice pierced through the chaos and pierced into her ears, "Persevere, we'll be there soon."

Bo Zhaoxun followed her in the inner circle of the playground.

Qiao Chuyi suddenly gained a brief sobriety, and successfully passed the baton to the fourth baton in one breath.

Then her legs gave way and she collapsed on the runway.

In a daze, Qiao Chuyi heard someone shout: "Drag this fainted person inside quickly, so as not to delay the competition of the people behind."

...Is there anyone who talks like that!

Bo Zhaoxun carried Qiao Chuyi to the playground and laid her flat on the playground, resting her head on his lap, and said to the students next to him, "Please help me find some glucose."

Most of the classes had leftovers, and the glucose was quickly handed to him. Bo Zhaoxun broke it open and carefully fed it into her mouth.

Seeing someone fainted, classmates who knew him and didn't know him surrounded him with concern. In addition, Bo Zhaoxun, who was rarely seen recently, also appeared here, and the crowd of onlookers continued unabated.

Bo Zhaoxun raised his free hand to cover Qiao Chuyi's face, not wanting others to see how uncomfortable she was, and said in a deep voice, "Please get out of the way, the air needs to be maintained here."

A teacher came to maintain order, and the onlookers dispersed.

Not long after, Qiao Chuyi woke up leisurely.She opened her eyes and saw herself lying in Bo Zhaoxun's arms. She was surprised and delighted as if dreaming, and the first thing she said was: "Am I still alive?"

"Alive." Bo Zhaoxun helped her up, "Are you a bit regretful?"

Qiao Chuyi: "..."

There is no evening self-study during the sports meeting, and after the commendation meeting, all classes are dismissed.

Bo Zhaoxun took her to the school gate to wait for a taxi.

Only then did Qiao Chuyi remember to ask him: "Bo Zhaoxun, all the seniors are not participating in the sports meet, why are you here? And don't you have to train today? The speed calculation competition is coming up in a few days."

Bo Zhaoxun didn't answer, but saw an empty car in the distance, and beckoned the driver to stop.

Qiao Chuyi suddenly thought of something, and asked uncertainly, "Are you here to watch my game?"

He neither admitted nor denied, but opened the car door, took Qiao Chuyi's arm and pushed her into the back seat: "Get in the car."

Then Bo Zhaoxun sat next to her, their arms touching.

The uncle driver is a temperamental person who loves rock music. Amidst the hoarse singing, the two of them were speechless for a while, and after a while, Bo Zhaoxun suddenly turned his face to her and asked her: "You used to say that you would be friends with me, no matter what you encounter, you won't be friends." Scared, is it true?"

Qiao Chuyi didn't know why he asked this suddenly, but she still didn't hesitate at all, firmly expressing her unshakable position, she nodded sharply, and said, "It's more real than real money."

Little ripples appeared in Bo Zhaoxun's heart, he lowered his gaze, and saw her hands resting on her knees, the hands were small, each fingertip had a nice curve, and the nails were light pink.

He said: "On the weekend of half a month later, I'm going to Shanghai to participate in the International Quick Calculation Competition, do you want to go with me?"

"Is it possible?!" Qiao Chuyi's eyes lit up instantly. She looked weak and weak along the way just now, as if her bones had been pulled out. Most of her body was leaning on Bo Zhaoxun's body. Now she fell down. He was full of energy, straightened his back, moved closer to him, and said strangely, "It turns out that contestants in this kind of competition can still bring their families."

"I don't know if I can bring my family." Bo Zhaoxun saw that she moved closer, and the two of them were very close. There was a faint smile on his lips, "Anyway, it should be no problem to bring a nanny."

Qiao Chuyi was dumbfounded, and the next second, she propped herself up on the seat and moved to the other side to distance herself from him.

Bo Zhaoxun turned his head, his face was reflected in the car window, and the smile on his face deepened.

The road was originally quite spacious, but recently due to the renovation of a certain section of the road, a lot of roadblocks were set up, and it seemed a bit congested during the evening rush hour.Relying on his skill and courage, the uncle driver walked through the convoy with ease, bragging to the two of them while driving: "Sit firmly, with uncle's skills, I can send you to your destination within 10 minutes with your eyes closed. Qinghuai City is no better than me..."

creak-

Before the words landed, the driver slammed on the brakes. Qiao Chuyi was eager to have a chat with the driver. He was unprepared for a while, and leaned forward heavily. Seeing that his forehead was about to hit the back of the seat, it was only a moment, and Bo Zhaoxun Immediately stretching out his hand to protect her, Qiao Chuyi was caught in his arms by his long arm, and both of them were hit by the impact.

The uncle driver was still in shock, and he was stunned for a moment before rolling down the window and yelling at the outside: "You don't have eyes for walking, you don't want to kill me!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." The girl who was in a hurry to cross the road and was almost hit ran over in a panic, stood next to the car door and kept bowing and apologizing.

The dizzy Qiao Chuyi raised his head from Bo Zhaoxun's arms, grabbed his shoulder and pressed down, stretched his neck and looked out over his shoulder. When he saw the submissive girl outside, he said in surprise: "Qin Jiaojiao?"

"You know me?" Bo Zhaoxun's shoulder bumped into an unknown place just now, and the slightest movement made him frowned in pain. He grabbed her by the collar and pulled back Qiao Chuyi, who was still trying to stick her head out.

Only then did Qiao Chuyi realize that she was still in Bo Zhaoxun's arms, and quickly slapped him away, saying dissatisfiedly, "Why are you holding me?"

Bo Zhaoxun: "...On crossing rivers and demolishing bridges, Qiao Chuyi, I admire you the most."

Qiao Chuyi had no intention of listening to him, and just waved to the girls outside: "Qin Jiaojiao, get in the car first."

This small accident caused a big traffic jam, the cars behind were lined up, and the impatient horns sounded one after another, Qin Jiaojiao lowered his head and remained motionless.Qiao Chuyi opened the car door and dragged her in.

The uncle driver spoke quickly, he was quite a bold person, just now he was furious, but now Qin Jiaojiao was just a timid little girl, and he knew the passengers well, so he didn't care about it anymore, he stepped on the gas pedal and started again.

"Qin Jiaojiao, where are you going in such a panic?" Qiao Chuyi looked her up and down.

Qin Jiaojiao sat neatly in a corner of the seat, occupying only a small amount of space. She twisted her fingers and said awkwardly, "I'm going to buy medicine for my dad. He has asthma in the afternoon."

"Uncle, pass the intersection ahead and stop at the entrance of that pharmacy." Qiao Chuyi instructed the driver, then turned around and said to Bo Zhaoxun, "I'll accompany her to buy medicine, you go back to the training camp first."

Looking at her, Bo Zhaoxun helped her straighten the collar of her coat, pressed it down again, and said, "Can you go home by yourself?"

Although that relay race had almost exhausted her physical strength, Qiao Chuyi was alive and well again after resting. Except for her sore and sore legs, everything else was fine.

"Of course no problem." The car was a little hot, and Qiao Chuyi's face was flushed, and she nodded solemnly.

When they arrived at the entrance of the pharmacy, the driver stopped the car as promised. Qiao Chuyi and Qin Jiaojiao got out of the car. When they were about to close the car door, Bo Zhaoxun suddenly stopped her and stuffed something into her coat pocket.

Before Qiao Chuyi could take it out to see what it was, the car door was closed neatly, and the taxi disappeared in a flash.

The car exhaust hit indiscriminately. Qiao Chuyi closed his eyes and opened them again. He had to admit that the old driver's skills were not just for nothing.

She patted her pocket, the rustling sound of the packaging bag, Qiao Chuyi reached out to touch it, and then took out a piece of chocolate and put it in the palm of her hand.

He doesn't eat sugar, and he doesn't even like sweet and sour dishes. Chocolate is specially prepared for her.

Bo Zhaoxun was good in everything, Qiao Chu thought, but he had no fireworks, and he had a hot heart, so he insisted on a cold look on his face.

Qiao Chuyi was so happy that a flower blossomed in his heart. He looked at the ordinary piece of chocolate over and over again, and even memorized most of the ingredients. Then he remembered the business, immediately put the chocolate in his pocket, and stood aside for a long time Qin Jiaojiao ran to the pharmacy.

Qiao Chuyi heard Qin Jiaojiao proficiently report a long list of awkward drug names like a tongue twister. When paying, Qin Jiaojiao realized that he came out in too much haste and did not bring enough money. He was a little embarrassed for a while, holding a few thin banknotes and standing in front of the door. In front of the counter, his face was flushed.

"Do you want it or not?" The aunt in the pharmacy was a little impatient.

"Jiaojiao," Qiao Chuyi also has a delicate and sensitive side in her heart, she immediately saw Qin Jiaojiao's embarrassment, and found out her wallet, "Didn't you put your money with me?"

After buying the medicine, the two left the pharmacy, the sky was getting dark, and the sunset glow piled up.

Standing on the brick-red path, Qiao Chuyi put her hands in her pockets, her ponytail hair swaying in the evening wind: "Jiaojiao, is your home far from here?"

Qin Jiaojiao still looked shy: "Not far."

"Then there's no need to take you home, I'll go first." Qiao Chuyi waved his hand.

Before she could take a step forward, Qin Jiaojiao suddenly said, "Qiao Chuyi, you... are you going to my house for dinner?"

Qiao Chuyi was a little surprised. She had met Qin Jiaojiao several times at school. Qin Jiaojiao was introverted, reticent, and not very social, yet he would invite her to dinner at home.

"Okay." She readily agreed.

Qin Jiaojiao's eyes lit up, and the originally cautious expression gradually dissipated, and she became much more cheerful. She said a little embarrassedly: "However, my family is full of simple food and light food, and the place is small, so don't dislike it."

"Whether it's simple food or big fish and meat, you have to go through the intestines. There is nothing you don't like." Qiao Chuyi took her arm, "Go, I can eat a cow now."

Before going home, Qin Jiaojiao said that she was going to pick up her mother and go home together. After turning two streets, people and cars gradually became scarce, and a sanitation worker in orange overalls was particularly conspicuous.She hunched over and swung the broom to sweep the road. When the wind picked up, a few fallen leaves flew up low and fell to the ground again.

"Mom," Qin Jiaojiao ran over with small steps, quickly picked up the few leaves lying on the clean road, threw them into the trash can, then took his mother's hand, tilted his head and smiled, "My classmate is coming home It's time for dinner, let's go back."

Qin's mother took off her scarf, and smiled gently at Qiao Chuyi: "We, Jiaojiao, haven't brought our classmates to our house to play. Today, Auntie will cook something delicious for you."

Qiao Chuyi sweetly agreed, and hurriedly helped Qin's mother pack her things.

Only then did she know that Qin Jiaojiao's family was very poor. In order to provide better conditions for her daughter to study, the family of three moved here from a small town and rented a small house in Qinghuai.

Qin's mother has no education, so she can only find a job as a cleaner. She goes out every day before dawn and returns home after dark.Qin's father was a deaf-mute, and he rode a tricycle to sell candied haws through the streets and alleys. He was very kind, and the candied haws were always [-] cents cheaper than others.

Qin Jiaojiao was much more lively in front of her mother, talking and laughing, not at all like she was timid at school. Qiao Chuyi also played along with the jokes, and Qin's mother smiled all the way.

The Qin's house is not easy to find, the remote old alleys, winding and winding paths, crowded with two rows of houses.Low-slung houses have little space, and wires criss-cross the roof.

When the three of them arrived home, Qin's father had already closed the stall. The rice hadn't been cooked yet, and the small room was full of aromas. Qin's parents rolled up their sleeves and began to prepare dinner lively.

The house has one bedroom and one living room, and the corner of the living room is separated by a curtain. The bed is Qin Jiaojiao's one-acre land. The desk is an old school desk that I picked up. The red paint is mottled, and one of the legs of the table is a little short. Cover with thick newspaper.

Qin Jiaojiao pulled Qiao Chuyi to sit on her little bed, and then turned on the desk lamp.Qiao Chuyi saw that the desk was neatly tidied up, and there was a small rattan bookshelf next to it, which was full of books. There were many sheets of paper cut squarely on the wall and on the table, densely packed with words and words. Various formulas.

Qiao Chuyi clicked her tongue in admiration, she knew that Qin Jiaojiao's grades were very good and he was always at the top of the grade.Qiao Chuyi had never communicated with Qin Jiaojiao at school before, but met her twice during the inter-class exercises, and each time she lowered her head and muttered something.

"That nerd in class two has gone crazy." Qiao Chuyi had heard such slightly sarcastic words directed at Qin Jiaojiao several times.

I never thought that behind the excellent results, there are so many efforts that are far from being seen by everyone.

"Jiaojiao, you still write letters." Qiao Chuyi carefully surveyed the square inch of space, and saw a stack of letters in the middle of the bookshelf with sharp eyes. The white envelopes were simple, and a few lines of words in the address bar could be vaguely seen. Just can't read the content.

Qin Jiaojiao's face suddenly flew a few blush, and she pushed the letters inside: "A pen pal who is relatively easy to talk to."

"Really—" Qiao Chuyi drew out her tone and winked at her.Qin Jiaojiao blushed even more, and pushed her arm, the two girls laughed and laughed.

There was a creaking sound of boiling oil outside the curtain. The Qin family's parents were quick to do things. The four dishes and one soup were served quickly. They were all home-cooked dishes with excellent craftsmanship.

The crispy lotus root sandwich is supported by green vegetables, the dried potato slices and fish-flavored eggplant smell very tempting, and the lotus pod meat makes Qiao Chuyi's mouth water. Qin's mother even fried a plate of sesame seeds The glutinous rice balls were round and bright yellow, wrapped in white sesame seeds. Qiao Chuyi took a bite, and the sweet aroma of bean paste rushed out.

After a very happy dinner, Qin's father insisted on bringing her two bunches of candied haws before leaving.It was so embarrassing to eat and take again, Qiao Chuyi refused again and again, but in the end she couldn't hold back the persistent father Qin, so she took it over.

Qin Jiaojiao kept sending Qiao Chuyi to the alley, and watched her get in a taxi before returning home in peace.When she was downstairs in the apartment, Qiao Chuyi found out when she was about to pay. She didn't know when Qin Jiaojiao secretly stuffed the money she had paid for the medicine into her backpack.

Qiao Chuyi held the rolled up banknotes with mixed feelings in his heart.

It was more than eight o'clock when I got home. Qiao Chuyi first lay down in front of Bo Zhaoxun's house and looked in through the cat's eyes for a long time. The sensor light went off and on again, repeated several times, but she didn't see anything, so she turned around resentfully. .

Opening the door, the room was completely dark. My aunt was going to a reception today and would be coming home very late. Qiao Chuyi fumbled to press the switch on the wall.The light came down and the living room was bright.

Qiao Chuyi changed into her home clothes, casually tied her hair into a tall bun, and pinned her bangs with hairpins, revealing her smooth and full forehead.She dragged out a small table and placed it in the entrance, moved a low stool to sit in front of the table, squeezed into this small space and began to do her homework.

There are many and difficult questions in the physics test paper. Qiao Chuyi has not done a few questions yet, she is a little sleepy, and her eyelids are twitching. Suddenly she heard the ding of the elevator, and she immediately regained her senses. Then she heard the sound of footsteps approaching slowly. .She took a peek, and sure enough, it was Bo Zhaoxun who had returned.

After doing a few more questions, Qiao Chuyi stopped to think about it. In the end, he couldn't hold back anymore. He took a bunch of candied haws and grabbed the physics test paper to knock on the door opposite.

"Bo Zhaoxun, open the door, I know you're home!" Qiao Chuyi knocked for a long time, and after a while, Bo Zhaoxun opened the door.

He just took a shower, wearing a white cotton shirt and light gray sweatpants, lazily leaning against the door and wiping his wet hair with a towel: "What's wrong?"

"Bo Zhaoxun, my aunt is not at home."

"so what?"

"I'm going to your house to do my homework." She waved the test paper.

Bo Zhaoxun frowned slightly: "Why?"

Qiao Chu said confidently, "I'm afraid."

"..."

Choking, he had to open the door and let her in.

"My aunt came home to see that I'm not here. She must know that I'm at your house." Qiao Chuyi said as she walked, "She was full of praise for the steamed beef you made two days ago, and she has already regarded you as her new male god. I will learn more from you."

Bo Zhaoxun raised his forehead. For foodies, the world is really simple.

His house is very simple and tidy, unlike Comrade Qiao Ye, a great artist, who even pays attention to the orientation of every flower branch in her house.There is no extra decoration in his house, the interior color is mainly white, it looks a bit empty, the living room is only lit with wall lamps, the light is not bright enough.

As soon as Qiao Chuyi entered the door, before she had walked a few steps, she had already turned on all the lights, and the room was suddenly brightly lit. She even tried to find a reason for herself: "Be an upright person."

Bo Zhaoxun, who was following her, said, "..."

Afraid of being kicked out, Qiao Chuyi immediately ran to the dining table, lay down there and concentrated on doing the questions, writing and drawing on the draft paper with style.

Bo Zhaoxun pulled out the chair and sat opposite her, leaning on the back of the chair with arms crossed, silent for a moment, and asked, "Does your leg still hurt?"

"A little bit." Qiao Chuyi said truthfully.

He got up, walked unhurriedly, rummaged through the shelves, found a bottle of soothing medicated oil, and threw it to her seemingly unintentionally: "The rest of the house is useless, here you are, warm compress Then massage with oil."

Qiao Chuyi held up the bottle of medicinal oil to the lamp and looked carefully, as if taking advantage of it, she tilted her head and said happily: "Bo Zhaoxun, this is brand new, it hasn't even been opened yet, really give it to me." Already?"

It was the first time I saw her with a ball head, and her face was small, white and delicate, facing the light, her slender eyelashes flickered up and down, there was a smile on the corners of her brows and mouth, and her eyes were shimmering.

Bo Zhaoxun was dumb again, what a nemesis, every time he really, really had nothing to do with her.

After doing homework for a while, Qiao Chuyi had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly remembered that he had brought candied haws, so he quickly pulled the candied haws out of the paper bag.

The bright red hawthorn fruit is big and round, wrapped in a layer of crystal clear and crisp sugar coating, and glowing slightly yellow.She bit off one, chewed it loudly in her mouth, stretched out her arms naturally and brought the candied haws to Bo Zhaoxun's mouth, and shared with him: "It's sour and sweet, very delicious."

Bo Zhaoxun was silent for a while, with a dull expression on his face, but after a moment of hesitation, he still ate half a hawthorn.

"Is it delicious?" Qiao Chuyi asked.

"Normal." Bo Zhaoxun gently held her wrist, and ate the remaining half.

The wall clock on the wall pointed to nine o'clock, and Bo Zhaoxun took two bottles of milk from the refrigerator, poured them into a small pot, and turned on a low heat to cook slowly.

Qiao Chuyi put down his pen, approached the kitchen lightly, leaned on the translucent sliding door to peek at him secretly, Bo Zhaoxun was tall and tall, with slender fingers resting on the marble countertop, even the sides looked messy.

She was intoxicated when she suddenly heard his deep voice: "Come here."

Was discovered.

Qiao Chuyi obediently stood next to Bo Zhaoxun, watching him set up two glass bowls and pour hot milk into them, two wisps of water steamed up, she frowned: "I don't like drinking milk."

"Drinking milk is good for sleep." Bo Zhaoxun looked indifferent, turned on the tap, and cleaned the milk pot.

"But..." Qiao Chuyi didn't agree with this reason, and said hesitatingly with fingers, "I don't drink milk, and I sleep well."

Bo Zhaoxun was used to her nonsense, so he added two spoonfuls of honey to her bowl, and changed the subject: "Drink milk and talk less, play a song and listen to it together."

Qiao Chuyi opened the music list on his mobile phone as he said, and clicked on the top song.

The slightly hoarse male voice sang a song she had never heard before——

In fact, you are really noisy,
Shouting in my ear.

But you are the treasure in my palm,
the pride of my heart,

When I am discouraged,
The medicine that brings me hope.

She gradually calmed down, stirred it around with a spoon, and said, "Well, it sounds good."

It may be that milk has a miraculous effect on sleeping, or it may be that she was too tired from running around today, and fell asleep on the table not long after drinking the milk.Afraid that she would catch a cold, Bo Zhaoxun found a blanket to cover her body.

Glancing at the unfinished physics test paper still under Qiao Chuyi's arm, he sighed, carefully pulled out the paper, and finished the rest of the questions for her.

Just after finishing the last question, Qiao Ye knocked on his door: "Zhao Xun, is our Xiao Qiao here?"

"Here." Bo Zhaoxun opened the door, lowering his voice, "Fell asleep, I'll take her there."

He hugged Qiao Chuyi horizontally, and sent her into the bedroom. The girl's room was faintly fragrant. He put her on the bed, and she turned over muttering, falling into a deep sleep.

"Qiao Chuyi," Bo Zhaoxun leaned over and shook her, "Get up quickly, I'm late."

Nothing?Keep shaking.

"It's really late." His hoarse voice was a little coaxing.

Qiao Chuyi woke up suddenly, sat up all of a sudden, rubbed his eyes in a daze: "Why didn't my alarm clock go off?"

Bo Zhaoxun straightened up, looked at her with raised eyebrows, and didn't speak.

When she was fully awake, she saw the alarm clock on the small table beside the bed. It was just after ten o'clock, the curtains were not drawn, and it was dark outside.

"Bo Zhaoxun, you crazy!" Qiao Chuyi was furious.

"Go brush your teeth, eat sugar and drink milk," he looked at her seriously, with a non-negotiable expression, "you can't sleep without brushing your teeth."

Qiao Chuyi scratched her hair twice angrily, put on her slippers angrily, deliberately bumped into Bo Zhaoxun when she passed by, and went to wash her hands arrogantly.

Childish, Bo Zhaoxun shook his head helplessly, folded the test paper and put it in her schoolbag.

Thanks to Bo Zhaoxun, Qiao Chuyi overcame the sleepiness, and lay awake in bed after washing, tossing and turning like pancakes, and went to school the next day with panda eyes on her face.

She dazedly handed in her homework, and stumbled through to the last physics class.

As soon as the physics teacher spoke, she was so sleepy that she couldn't find the south, east, and north. She wished she could prop up her glued eyelids with small bamboo sticks.While struggling with sleepiness, she suddenly heard the physics teacher snort coldly: "You guys are really the worst class I have ever taught."

Qiao Chuyi was sitting in the front row, and she heard these words clearly, she curled her lips secretly.The physics teacher is a young college student who has just graduated, and this class is obviously the first class he has led.

What the physics teacher said next made her completely sober.

"Is the last question of filling in the blanks really so difficult?!" The physics teacher was heartbroken, and slammed the test paper on the desk with a bang, "Qiao Chuyi is the only one who got it right in the whole class."

what!Qiao Chuyi was taken aback, and the drowsiness disappeared. He opened his eyes wide and looked up at the physics teacher's gentle gaze. He then said, "The physics results of Qiao Chuyi's classmate made my teacher heartbroken. I didn't expect to put it here and wait." Give me a surprise, Qiao Chuyi, come to the blackboard in a while, write down the steps, and give everyone a long-term experience."

Qiao Chuyi held the paper tremblingly, and recognized Bo Zhaoxun's handwriting on it, she raised her hand in fear, intending to tell a lie that she was deceived.

The physics teacher asked Qiao Chuyi to stand up, and when she just said, "Teacher, I actually...", she interrupted: "You don't mean to say that you are fooled, do you?"

Qiao Chuyi half-opened her mouth and was completely stunned.

His eyes behind the lens are sharp: "Even if you are fooled, it is impossible to get all three little questions right. Don't be naughty, write slowly, don't be nervous."

But teacher, the key is that I don't know how to do it at all!She wants to cry but has no tears.

"Teacher, I actually have a stomachache and want to go to the bathroom."

The physics teacher finally showed mercy and told her to go and come back quickly.

Qiao Chuyi ran all the way to the third grade, squatting under the window sill of the second class, occasionally poking her head furtively.

Bo Zhaoxun's fixed position was by the window, he turned his head inadvertently, just in time to see Qiao Chuyi put his chin on the window sill and grinned at him.

Bo Zhaoxun was startled by her.

Fortunately, it was a self-study class. He quickly came out of the classroom and pulled her to the corner of the corridor. Qiao Chuyi pulled him desperately: "Squat down!"

Bo Zhaoxun couldn't resist her, so he squatted beside her, leaning side by side like two short-legged squirrels: "What's wrong?"

"You made me miserable. The last fill-in-the-blank question on the physics paper you did yesterday was about the diameter, angle of the sun, and latitude and acceleration of gravity," Qiao Chuyi said with a sad face, " The teacher asked me to go to the blackboard and write the steps."

"Then go." Bo Zhaoxun glanced at her, "Why do you come here to ask me for instructions on such a trivial matter?"

"Go away," Qiao Chuyi glared at him, "If I can write, why should I come to you?"

Bo Zhaoxun suddenly realized, looking at her eyes as if she was caring for mentally handicapped children, said calmly: "Sorry, I forgot to consider your IQ, but I will never fool the teacher for you. If you don't understand, you have to admit it. Helping you with your homework is already a thing of the past." My bottom line."

"Just this time, not next time."

"impossible."

"Bo Zhaoxun—"

"It's useless to act coquettishly."

"Candy, please."

"Sorry, no bribes will be accepted."

"But I'm really afraid of the physics teacher..." she whispered, her face turned slightly pale, "If you can't answer well, you will have to go to the devil training every weekend in the future, so I can't accompany you to Shanghai."

Bo Zhaoxun fell silent and didn't speak for a long time, until she was so depressed that she had no hope, then he said: "Can you guarantee that you will study hard in the future?"

Qiao Chu felt that he was relieved, and hurriedly answered: "Guaranteed."

He nodded reluctantly: "Then you should remember well, G is the constant gravitational force, r is the distance between the sun and the earth, and T is..."

This monster can actually remember so clearly a topic that he has only seen once.

only……

The corner of Qiao Chuyi's mouth turned down slightly, and he pulled his cuff pitifully: "I don't understand."

Bo Zhaoxun stopped and pursed his lips.

She continued to tug: "I really don't understand."

He was completely helpless, thought for a while, and took out a water-based pen from his pocket: "Stretch out your hand."

Qiao Chuyi spread out his left hand, and he shook her hand, carefully writing the answering steps on her palm.

His palm was wide, dry and warm, and he just grabbed her fingers like this.

The two of them were next to each other, squatting at the corner of the silent corridor, the sky was blue and white, the breeze was light, the sun was warm, and the sound of beating hearts was overwhelming.

Qiao Chuyi's cheeks were flushed when she saw his handsome side face.

It's really 360 degrees without dead ends, and it looks good no matter what.

Before he noticed, she watched more intently.

This is a competition problem, and the process of solving the problem is a bit more complicated. Bo Zhaoxun wrote densely on her palm, and when she wrote it in the middle of her palm, she couldn't help but want to shrink her hand: "Tickle."

He raised his eyes and looked at her coolly. Qiao Chuyi quickly put the back of his hand on his and said firmly, "But I think I can still hold on!"

Finally, Bo Zhaoxun couldn't help laughing, and finished writing the remaining steps.

"Thank you so much," Qiao Chuyi puffed up her cheeks and carefully blew on the wet handwriting, stooping, "I'm going back to make a big splash."

"I'll go directly to training at noon, you don't have to wait for me to come with you." He suddenly added.

Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from him.

Qiao Chuyi deliberately dawdles away after school every day to create a chance encounter with him. If she is lucky, she can wait for him, and then the two of them will go home together.

"Who's waiting for you?" Qiao Chuyi blushed, but said stiffly, "I want to go with Qin Jiaojiao."

Bo Zhaoxun thought her duplicity was very interesting, so he didn't expose her: "That's good."

She snorted coldly, blushed and ran away without looking back.

With his help, Qiao Chuyi finally passed the physics teacher's test without any risk, and was praised by the physics teacher, so beautiful that she couldn't find the southeast and northwest.

But this wonderful joy only lasted for half an hour after school.

Qiao Ye flew to Moscow this morning to attend a seminar, and Qiao Chu intended to stay by herself for three days.

She made up her mind to invite Qin Jiaojiao to dinner, so as soon as the bell rang, Qiao Chuyi hurried to the first floor to find her.

After waiting on tiptoe at the door of the classroom for a long time, Qin Jiaojiao's classmates finally told him that several people asked Qin Jiaojiao to go to the playground.

It was a bit strange to go to the playground instead of going home after school. Qiao Chuyi quickly noticed that the person who spoke was a little subtle. She didn't have time to think for a while, and hurried to the playground.

The scene he saw was somewhat beyond Qiao Chu's expectations.

From a distance, Qin Jiaojiao could be seen surrounded by a group of flirtatious girls, several people pushed and shoved her, Qin Jiaojiao shrunk his shoulders, bowed his back slightly, submissively, lowered his head and dared not speak.

"Tell me, did you steal my watch?" The leading girl asked Qin Jiaojiao loudly, then kicked her impatiently, "Hurry up and lose money, I'm annoyed when I see you looking so poor."

Several girls around also booed, Qin Jiaojiao had tears in his eyes, and his voice was soft, trying to clarify: "I didn't...it's really not me."

"Then how do you prove that you didn't steal it?" Zou Rao was persistent and wanted to grab Qin Jiaojiao's hair.

At this moment, a hand suddenly came in and squeezed Zou Rao's hand tightly: "Want to fight?"

The joints creaked twice, and Zou Rao's expression changed due to the pain.

Zou Rao blew away a bunch of bangs, and smiled mockingly: "If you want to stand up for her, is it up to you?"

"It's up to me." Without hesitation, Qiao Chuyi slammed an elbow hard on her shoulder, "Otherwise, give it a try."

Unexpectedly, Qiao Chuyi really dared to strike, the blow was really merciless, Zou Rao couldn't help but bend down in pain, Qiao Chuyi took the opportunity to stand in front of Qin Jiaojiao, protecting her.

Qiao Chuyi went up the tree and down the river since she was a child, and her strength is naturally stronger than that of ordinary girls. Zou Rao is used to being domineering. Where has she ever suffered such humiliation? She clutched her shoulders and became furious: "How dare you hit me?!"

Qiao Chuyi smiled: "I just moved my hand, you are unhappy, did you ever think about other people's feelings when you were violent!"

Seeing that Zou Rao was at a disadvantage, the girls onlookers leaned over cursingly. Qiao Chuyi was not afraid: "For the matter of stealing, you'd better have sufficient evidence. We'll call the police now. People, what kind of results will happen, you can do it yourself."

These people were just bluffing. When they heard that they were going to call the police, their arrogance was extinguished, and they did not dare to act rashly.

Qiao Chuyi glanced at them lightly, with a stern look on her face, without being angry and pretentious: "Dress up differently, use profanity, and violently solve them. Do you feel that you are particularly powerful and admired by others?"

"Violence is the most incompetent expression. Don't take other people's disgust as fear, ridicule as pursuit, and patience as a bargaining chip to make progress." Qiao Chuyi's fingers are like hot irons, and anyone who points at them seems to be able to burn a wisp Green smoke comes.

"Each of you has brothers and sisters. Assuming that they suffer from campus violence, I hope you can also be a bystander with pride and applaud by the way. Then you must be calm, because now you are also treating others. Siblings do the same thing."

The few girls couldn't say anything to refute, but they looked at each other with wonderful expressions on their faces.

When we were teenagers, we always felt that every little thing was earth-shattering, and we couldn’t let it go, but time and growth will gradually tell us that many things are not worth mentioning at all.

You don't have to be an outstanding person, but please be a kind person.

I give tenderness to the world, and it will sing to me.

A group of people quickly dispersed, leaving only Qiao Chuyi and Qin Jiaojiao in the empty playground. She asked Qin Jiaojiao, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Qin Jiaojiao said with red eyes, and said with force, "I'm used to it."

Qiao Chuyi frowned, and said seriously: "Jiaojiao, swallowing one's breath can only fuel their arrogance. If there is oppression, you have to resist. You have to find a way to solve it. It's useless to just give in."

Qin Jiaojiao bowed his head and remained silent.

Qiao Chuyi bent down and looked up into her eyes: "In the future, if you encounter this kind of thing again, you must tell your parents or teacher, or you can tell me. Only when you speak out bravely, can someone help you."

"Will it be?" Qin Jiaojiao finally raised his head with a blank expression.

"Definitely." Qiao Chuyi patted her on the shoulder, "Alright, let's go eat."

I don't know if Qiao Chuyi's threat played a role, or if she deterred the opponent with violence, Zou Rao and others really restrained a lot, and never made trouble for Qin Jiaojiao again.

Qin Jiaojiao is very grateful to Qiao Chuyi, the two of them are getting closer and closer, and Qiao Chuyi has a best friend in Qinghuai.

She liked life in Qinghuai more and more.

Ever since she knew that she lived next door to Bo Zhaoxun, Qiao Chuyi often coaxed Bo Zhaoxun to come over to cook the spoon under the pretense of "it's better to eat together", so that she can enjoy the beauty and taste the food.

Although Bo Zhaoxun started to cook by himself after living alone, he is smart and has strong hands-on ability. When he has nothing to do, he studies two recipes as a pastime. Her little male god can come and walk around more, and serve all kinds of delicacies by the way.

Especially recently, Qiao Ye often travels all over the world, so she can only ask Bo Zhaoxun to help her take care of Qiao Chuyi.With her aunt's special entrustment, Qiao Chuyi went to his house to eat more confidently.

Later, Bo Zhaoxun gave her a spare key in order to make it easier for her to go in and out.

Qiao Chu intended to come and go in a chic way, without feeling that he was a guest at all.

It's just that after promising him that day that he would study hard, it was difficult for this key to open the door of his house.

"Bo Zhaoxun, I'm really about to starve to death today. I'm so hungry that there's only one skin left. You have pity on me." Qiao Chuyi knocked on the door with her schoolbag in her hand.

"You can only come in after completing the questions on the door." Through the door, Bo Zhaoxun's tone was not at all room for negotiation.

The bad idea that Bo Zhaoxun came up with, in order to help Qiao Chuyi improve faster, he posted a question on the door every day, only if he answered correctly could he come in for dinner, and if he answered wrongly, he would be punished with a test paper.

What's even more hateful is that "Today's Recipe" was posted next to the title, and the rich delicacy made her have to bow down again and again.

For example, today, he made her favorite teriyaki chicken rice. She seemed to smell the aroma at the door, swallowed her saliva, and knocked on the door again and again: "Mr. Bo, let me eat first."

"No."

If she couldn't discuss it, she could only do the questions obediently.

With a sullen face, Qiao Chuyi took out a pen and paper, and resigned herself to doing the questions. Fortunately, the questions were not difficult, and she just reviewed the formulas in the afternoon, so she did it fairly smoothly.

"Choose C!" Finally got the answer, she cheered and knocked on the door, "Bo Zhaoxun, I figured it out!"

Bo Zhaoxun finally opened the door. He was still wearing an apron. There was a faint smell of oily smoke and a strong smell of food in the air. He helped her arrange her slippers and took her schoolbag: "You performed well today."

It was rare for him to say a word of encouragement.

Qiao Chuyi changed into her slippers, washed her hands, and went straight to the dining table, salivating at the tempting chicken chop rice, and quickly picked up the chopsticks.

Bo Zhaoxun turned around and went to the kitchen to serve porridge. His mobile phone on the table vibrated several times suddenly.

She swore that she definitely didn't mean to pry into his privacy, but just leaned over and glanced curiously, just in time the last message was displayed on the screen: Zhao Xun, let's meet.

The sender is Liang Xiwei.

Like a girl's name.

It seemed that she was... a girl who had an unusual relationship with him.

The delicious taste in Qiao Chuyi's mouth suddenly lost its taste.

Bo Zhaoxun came out of the kitchen, put the steaming hot porridge a little away from her hand, untied his apron and put it on the back of the chair, and sat down opposite her.

"We're going to Shanghai the day after tomorrow." He looked at her, "Are you ready?"

Qiao Chuyi hid her chaotic emotions, smiling all over her face: "Of course."

He hummed, his brows and eyes soft.

At this moment, none of them thought that this trip to Shanghai would completely change the trajectory of their lives.

There is no way, love is hard to come by, resentment lasts for a long time, it always makes people helpless.
