Chapter 15 Security Boy

When Shen Xiyu and Liang Qi arrived, the other four were already waiting for them on the beach.

This sea area is one of the few undeveloped places in Jiangcheng. They used to come here to wade in the water and pick up shells in the summer.

Qin Yiyan waved at them from a distance.

"Here it comes!" Shen Xiyu hooked Liang Qi's neck with one hand and stretched out the other hand, shouting.

In the setting sun, the shadows of the four people opposite were infinitely stretched into lines. Shen Xiyu could hear the low laughter of the boy under him, and the smell of sea salt lingered in Shen Xiyu's current nostrils and future memories.

Many years later, Shen Xiyu accidentally opened Bei Dao's "Green Lantern".

"We were young then. Passing through the ruins and ancient pines and cypresses, we arrived at the cliffs. Bathed in the setting sun, our hearts as calm as water, we gazed toward the place where the clouds and mist drifted. In fact, there was nothing to see. The joys and sorrows of life were far beyond the horizon, and gazing was a youthful gesture."

She still subconsciously thought of the group of the cutest people around her and her seventeen-year-old summer in Jiangcheng that was filled with the smell of sea salt.

The consequence of climbing over the wall is...

the next day

"Class 27 of Senior 20: Qin Yiyan, Dai Meng, Liang Qi, Shen Xiyu, Zhang Zhi, and Chen Ningzhou. They climbed over the wall and left yesterday before the sports meet was even over! The security guard watched them from the monitoring room, unable to catch up!"

The six people stood beside the passionate head teacher with their heads lowered like a row of chicks.

Director Feng was still heartbroken, "No matter how your grades are, in school..."

Shen Xiyu is the one who really wants to find a crack in the ground to hide his head right now.

She was still limping, so Liang Qi and Qin Yiyan each held her up as a support to prevent her from falling.

"Oh my god..." Shen Xiyu didn't expect that she would have to stand in front of the whole school and be publicly executed in this state. It was really a sin. If she had known this, she would never have supported their bad idea yesterday.

Dai Meng secretly pinched Qin Yiyan from behind, gritting her teeth, "Didn't you say it was okay?"

Qin Yiyan hadn't expected them to be so unlucky. He muttered quietly, "He was fine last year. Who knew the security guard's presbyopia would suddenly heal?"

"Don't you know that our school has a new security guard?"

“…”

The meeting has been going on for almost an hour.

Shen Xiyu's legs didn't feel anything at first, but now they started to hurt. Liang Qi put his coat on the ground for her to sit down.

Her face turned pale from the pain. Even without Liang Qi telling her, she was planning to sit there and rest for a while, but she felt the floor was a little dirty because of the white pants she was wearing today.

"Thank you," Shen Xiyu didn't bother to be polite with him. He held his arm and sat down carefully.

The teacher next to her, who was from an unknown grade, saw her sit down, glared at her and wanted to come over and scold them.

Before he could take a few steps, he was stopped by the principal who was walking slowly behind him.

"Principal... Principal, not only did these students skip classes, but they couldn't even stand there for a moment and sat down again."

Yu Wenchang's gaze swept across each of their faces and paused for a moment.

"Don't worry about it for now, Teacher Li." He walked up to a few people.

"Let's all go back. If this classmate has a leg injury, please help him back to the classroom." Yu Wenchang said with his hands behind his back and smiled.

Liang Qi pursed his lips and didn't look at him. He squatted down and carefully helped Shen Xiyu up, bending down so that she could hook her shoulders for support.

Dai Meng and the others just wanted to escape from this embarrassing situation as soon as possible. Seeing Liang Qi helping Chen Xiyu, they hurried back to the team.

Yu Wenchang was not in a hurry to leave. Seeing Liang Qi helping Shen Xiyu up, he kindly wanted to pat Liang Qi's shoulder.

He dodged it without leaving a trace.

Yu Wenchang's hand stopped in mid-air, feeling a little awkward. He pretended nothing had happened and retracted it, "Xiaoqi, you can come to me next time if you have any problems."

Liang Qi didn't even bother to raise his eyelids. He nodded slightly and left with Shen Xiyu, who was looking at him with an inquiring look.

Along the way, Shen Xiyu stared at Liang Qi with sharp eyes.

The boy helplessly pushed her head to the side with his hands and said nothing.

Back in the classroom, the girl didn't ask any questions. She took out her math test paper and started doing geometry problems.

"Just ask whatever you want to ask." Liang Qi thought she was angry.

Shen Xiyu rummaged through his pencil case looking for a pencil. "Nothing, nothing I want to ask."

Liang Qi:?

Chen Xiyu handed him a piece of his favorite jelly with a smile, "I don't care that much about other people's lives. I just gossip subconsciously on the way. You don't have to take it to heart."

Shen Xiyu spoke from her heart. She was not the kind of person who liked to pry into other people's lives excessively. Liang Qi felt pressured, so she was not so curious anymore.

In Liang Qi's palm lay grape jelly that still had the warmth of Shen Xiyu's body temperature.

'Not that concerned'

'Other people'

Liang Qi felt a little uncomfortable. What this little cripple said was totally against his will.

Did he act like he didn't want to tell her?

"I want to say that I have no one to talk to, so I want to talk to you."

Liang Qi placed his open palm on Shen Xiyu's paper.

“…”

"Oh, then go ahead."

Liang Qi just didn't want Shen Xiyu to look like he didn't care about him. If he really said it, he would feel embarrassed and it would sound like he was showing off. In fact, he was very tired of talking about the filth of the adult world.

"It's nothing, really. He's been trying to climb the ladder these past two years, but he's been secretly taking advantage of me. I just don't want to see him pretending to be something and secretly investigating me."

Liang Qi's words were very obscure, but Shen Xiyu could tell that the principal was trying to curry favor with him secretly.

"Oh... look at how to write this question."

Liang Qi:?

Shen Xiyu looked at the boy's stunned expression and couldn't help laughing, "Why do you want me to praise you for being awesome?"

"You know that's not what I meant."

"I know, but we are friends. No matter what you are like, what your background is, or what your experiences are, we are just friends who simply accompany each other. Why should I care about these things? Liang Qi, you are such a good person. Even if you have nothing, we will still be attracted to you."

Liang Qi looked at the girl's sincere eyes and felt inexplicably lost.

'Just friends who simply keep each other company'?

Is this what Shen Xiyu thought?

Shen Xiyu looked at Liang Qi's gloomy face, wondering what was wrong with him.

"What's wrong, deskmate?"

"No...it's okay."

"Then take a look at this question."

"...Chen Xiyu, study hard."

“…”

After school in the afternoon, Shen Xiyu asked them all to leave first, saying that her brother was coming to see her for something.

Liang Qi hesitated for a moment, looked at her meaningfully, and then went out with his schoolbag on his back.

Seeing that they had all left, Shen Xiyu continued to leisurely read the short article in the English newspaper. She didn't get up in a hurry. She was waiting for someone.

After a while, Liu Jiaoyi poked her head out stealthily from the back door.

Seeing that Shen Xiyu was the only one left in their class, he walked in unscrupulously and sat in Liang Qi's seat.

Shen Xiyu noticed that the light was blocked, looked up and saw that it was her, "You are here."

"Yeah." Liu Jiaoyi felt a little uncomfortable. "I asked my friend to meet her in the equipment room in twenty minutes."

Seeing that she was a little nervous, Shen Xiyu said, "It's okay. If you regret it, it's not too late. I can find another way."

"Who... who wouldn't want to?" Liu Jiaoyi refused to give in. "I... just haven't done this before, so I'm a little nervous."

Shen Xiyu thought from the bottom of his heart that this little girl was so cute, like a little white rabbit.

She held Liu Jiaoyi's hand and said, "It's okay. If something really happens, just give me away and say that I forced you to do it."

Liu Jiaoyi was a little surprised, but didn't pull her hand away.

"I'm not that disloyal, okay? I just think that you should just report this to the school. Why bother with all this trouble?"

Chen Xiyu recalled the girl with red eyes that day, "I didn't intend to do anything to her. Even if I reported it to the school, she would still be punished. I just wanted to know...why it happened."

"Tsk, that's not very impressive. Why are you being so soft-hearted now?" Liu Jiaoyi proudly broke free from her hand and turned her head to the side.

Shen Xiyu chuckled silently. This was exactly the same as what Qin Yiyan said.

In the sports equipment room

Feng Shu's face turned pale the moment the door closed.

I was fooled...I shouldn't have believed what that bitch said.

Ten minutes ago, the monitor of Feng Shu's class said to her,

"Feng Shu, the PE teacher needs two people to help him move things. There aren't many people in the school right now. Can you come with me? I can give you extra credits."

Feng Shu gritted his teeth and rushed over to knock on the door.

Liu Jiaoyi came out from the corner and said, "Stop knocking. There's not many people in the school right now."

"Liu Jiaoyi, I have nothing to do with you! Why did you let someone trick me into coming here?"

Liu Jiaoyi was amused by her helpless and furious look, "That person, Shen Xiyu, has no grudge against you, so why did you treat her like that?"

Feng Shu sneered, "Are you here to speak up for her? When did you two become so close?"

Liu Jiaoyi looked past Feng Shu at Shen Xiyu who was hiding behind the shelf, and said what they had agreed on.

"That's not the case. She just asked me to be a witness in front of the school. I don't want to be dragged into this mess accidentally, so I have to get to the bottom of it."

"Don't, don't be a witness." Feng Shu was visibly panicked. "I'll tell you, I'll tell you."

Twenty minutes later

Chen Xiyu and Liu Jiaoyi each held a camellia-flavored ice cream cone and sat in the stands of the playground to enjoy the fresh air.

"Hey, you're so unlucky." Liu Jiaoyi laughed at her.

Remembering what Feng Shu had said in the equipment room just now, "Yeah, I won't be a good person anymore. I'm going to be a bad guy now." She stretched out her claws and made faces at Liu Jiaoyi.

Liu Jiaoyi tickled her lightly and said seriously, "It's not your fault."

"Yeah...I know."

“…”

Liu Jiaoyi diverted the conversation to the side, blinking brightly as she approached Shen Xiyu, "Liang Qi, do you two like each other?"

Shen Xiyu was stunned for a moment, obviously a little bit unbelievable and flustered, "You...what nonsense are you talking about, we are friends."

Liu Jiaoyi curled her lips in disbelief, "Don't give me that. Aren't you good friends with Qin Yiyan and the others? You are completely different from them and Liang Qi. You can't fool me."

“…”

Seeing that Shen Xiyu didn't say anything, Liu Jiaoyi quickly added, "I'm not interested in him, don't think too much, when he just turned around, I went for his face."

"...You're overthinking it, but you've been paying attention to me since freshman year of high school." Shen Xiyu deliberately diverted her attention.

The girl's face flushed, "I...I just want to see what's so good about the girl who has been competing with me for so long."

Chen Xiyu knew that she should be talking about something that happened on the school forum.

"They were just fooling around with that."

"I know."

“…”

When Chen Xiyu and Liu Jiaoyi came out of the school gate, it was almost two hours after school.

"Can you please, Cripple? I'll take you back. I don't want to hear that you fell on the road at school tomorrow."

Liu Jiaoyi said she disliked it, but in fact she bent her arms to serve as a support for her, always supporting Shen Xiyu's legs.

"No, my house is very close to here, you don't..."

Before Shen Xiyu finished speaking, the two of them saw Liang Qi standing under the sycamore tree at the school gate, looking at them with his hands in his pockets.

"Forget it... You really don't need me. It's really frustrating to meet people like you. I'm leaving." Liu Jiaoyi didn't even bother to look at her.

Even though she said that, she still stretched out her hand and waved it behind her, "See you tomorrow. Be careful on the road, don't let that boy kidnap you."

"Well, see you tomorrow." Shen Xiyu gradually put away his smile.

She did not rush to walk towards Liang Qi, but looked at him waiting for her in the shade of the tree, wearing Bluetooth headphones.

His hair seemed to have grown longer recently, almost covering his eyes. Shen Xiyu couldn't see his expression clearly, but could feel that he was looking straight at him.

She remembered what Liu Jiaoyi had just said.

Do you like it?

She doesn't know.

I just feel that he seems to be different from Chen Ningzhou and the others.

He is completely different.
