Chapter 76 Chapter 19 During the chat with the system, the sun...
While chatting with the system, the sun was setting inch by inch, and only the afterglow was left. The sun had already disappeared into the distant mountains.
"Qingyu!"
…
"Did you hear any sound?" Xie Qingyu felt someone calling him.
"No!"
The familiar voice was faintly heard again, and Xie Qingyu stood up subconsciously.
"I heard it. It was Song Boyuan calling me."
"Is that so?" The system asked doubtfully, listening as attentively as Xie Qingyu. "It seems there is a sound."
"That's him!" Xie Qingyu replied loudly after hearing it clearly, "Here!"
The voice on the other end died down, and Xie Qingyu's name was called again.
The person was already in front of him. When Xie Qingyu saw Song Boyuan not far away, he felt a little worried. Then he suddenly realized that he was not worried because he had always believed that this person would come to find him.
"Why are you here? What should we do if we can't get out?" Xie Qingyu did not forget what the villagers said.
This is a dangerous place.
"It's okay, I know the way."
"Isn't it said that this place is very winding and there's no way out?"
"That's what the villagers said. The scenery here is so similar, and they're worried that newly arrived educated youth might find it hard to find their way around here, unfamiliar with the roads." Song Boyuan explained with a chuckle, "That's why they talk about it so seriously. It's not that weird here, after all."
Xie Qingyu relaxed: "That's good."
Song Boyuan stretched out his hand: "Let's go home."
"But I'm so tired." Xie Qingyu pounded his sore thighs and didn't want to touch the ground at all.
A broad back appeared before him, and Song Boyuan's gentle voice came over: "Come up! Go home."
My back feels heavy, but it's not enough. I still need to take good care of it.
The same scene of walking home accompanied by the moon, the scenery and people are similar, but the hearts are different.
The journey took quite a long time. Xie Qingyu didn't expect that he would return to the original place after finding the way, but he had actually been walking for a long time.
Xie Qingyu pondered and reflected, he couldn't be really directionally challenged!
In modern life, we have mobile phone navigation, and most of the time he needs navigation when going out. Thinking of this, Xie Qingyu fell silent. It seemed that he was really diagnosed.
"Why is it so quiet?" The young man who was talking about his experience today stopped talking before he finished his thoughts. Song Boyuan couldn't see his face and asked worriedly.
Without waiting for Xie Qingyu's answer, Song Boyuan struggled to free up one hand, touched his pocket, and felt the familiar small bottle.
I felt relieved and carried my youth back on my back again.
After a slight tilt, Xie Qingyu regained consciousness and asked, "What's wrong? Am I overweight?"
"It's not serious. I was worried you might be sick. I wanted to see if you had any medicine."
"So worried?" Xie Qingyu's tone immediately turned serious after teasing, "I'm fine now."
"very nice."
Song Boyuan's voice was very soft. Xie Qingyu, who was on his back, only felt a slight vibration in his chest, reminding him that he had just spoken.
*
Song Boyuan went to work, and Xie Qingyu's weekend was not over yet.
Thinking of yesterday's guess, Xie Qingyu still went out despite Song Boyuan's repeated warnings.
Xie Qingyu walked on the road, thinking about what happened last night and shaking his head.
Everything was fine on the way back.
After dinner, things got worse when they lay down in bed.
"Don't go over there when you go out. You're not familiar with that place and it's very dangerous."
"If you really want to go, you can tell me and I will take you with me."
Song Boyuan kept chattering, but there was not a single word of blame in his words, only concern.
The person next to him was lying on the side by the window, his brows furrowed, his eyes filled with worry as he stared deeply at Xie Qingyu. Even when he was whispering instructions, his pupils were trembling slightly, his mouth was pursed into a straight line, his jaw was tense, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down unconsciously before he finished a sentence, swallowing the buried anxiety.
Xie Qingyu pulled over Song Boyuan's hand, which was unconsciously scratching the wall by the window. His knuckles were white, and a thin layer of wall dust had accumulated between his nails.
Being caught by Xie Qingyu at this moment, his face suddenly turned pale, and he was so nervous that sweat even dripped from his temples, shining abnormally under the moonlight.
"Be good, I will be obedient, don't worry."
Xie Qingyu touched Song Boyuan's furry head with her hand and comforted him softly.
The mood is soothed, but the heat is unbearable.
I don’t know who took the first step, but the rest will take its course.
The same people, the same bright moon.
But when Xie Qingyu was free, he suddenly realized that Song Boyuan was a little different tonight.
What's the difference?
It seems that she is not as reserved as she was yesterday.
Xie Qingyu was puzzled. This was only the third time, and they became familiar with each other so quickly.
As a result, he only felt like leaving the next day when the sun was shining brightly.
Let’s not talk about it! This time it was purely an accident.
Xie Qingyu couldn't help but suspect that Song Boyuan wanted to exhaust his physical strength so that he would be too tired to go out the next day.
I shook my head and decided that finding information was more important. I’d better think about these things at night!
He agreed to himself, yes, I need to think about where to go to get the information.
A light bulb went off in my head and a place came to mind.
The stream flowed, and under the circular arch bridge built of bluestone, the voices of many women talking could be heard.
Xie Qingyu was not thick-skinned enough to join in. Fortunately, the water flowed slowly and the echo was loud enough so that he could hear it clearly if he calmed down.
Fortunately, there was an ancient evergreen tree at the head of the bridge, which just shaded a corner of the bridge, allowing Xie Qingyu to hide under the tree to block the sun.
Xie Qingyu didn't dare to gamble on how strong the autumn sun, which was almost at noon, was.
If he went back with all the tanned skin on, he couldn't imagine what Song Boyuan would look like.
I won’t turn into Tang Monk!
Xie Qingyu shrank his neck and stopped thinking about it, feeling that it was possible.
Forget, forget, hurry up and find out the good news and go back early!
Then these things won't happen.
……Bar!
It was almost time, and the people under the bridge had almost left one after another.
The person who was hiding alone under the shade of the only tree had several red bumps on his ankle due to the wrinkles of his clothes when he sat down.
Xie Qingyu looked at the red spots on his fair skin and was speechless. The weather was getting cold, but the mosquitoes had not let him go yet.
His blood is too sweet.
How sad.
After getting up, Xie Qingyu stopped thinking about what was happening in front of him and instead tried to sort out the numerous and mixed gossips he had heard in his mind.
See if there is any useful news.
Not to mention the gossip that arose under the bridge with constant traffic, the amount was really staggering in just a short period of time.
"You're not looking at the road again. Where are you going? Aren't you afraid of getting lost again?" Seeing Xie Qingyu walking without looking at the road again, the system immediately reminded him.
The system seems to be appearing a bit more frequently recently.
Xie Qingyu also realized this: "Have you been going out more frequently recently?"
"Maybe... the system didn't realize it!"
Xie Qingyu stared at the suspended spherical object, which had turned into a black coal ball. It was not big, but its voice had changed from a small whisper at first to a roar later.
It seems to be true.
If the system knew, it would definitely feel aggrieved. It did not interfere with the host's behavior, but just felt that the plot seemed to have become a bit strange. It happened a few more times and was actually criticized.
Wrap yourself tightly in the invisible cape and transform into a mushroom all by yourself.
"System?" Seeing the little black ball immersed in his own world, Xie Qingyu poked it with his hand.
"Oh, you're quite stubborn."
Xie Qingyu listened to what the system said. He had no confidence in himself, so he temporarily put aside the idea of gossiping and walked seriously.
It is sparsely populated, has beautiful scenery, and is shaded by trees.
At this time, Xie Qingyu was sitting under a lush tree again.
I didn't expect that I would just start organizing my thoughts.
He discovered that he himself was the main person in these people's gossip.
Not only did they gossip about him who was sitting on the bridge at the time, but they also gossiped about everything he had done since he came to the village.
Horrible, no way!
Was it because he was there? Or was he a popular figure in the village?
The former is understandable, but if it is the latter, it is really terrifying. It feels like you are being monitored no matter what you do.
He just wants to live a quiet life.
I don’t want to attract attention!
Xie Qingyu thought of something, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he was in a very good mood. Before, when they talked about him, their expressions were not good, but this time, their evaluation of him seemed to be much better.
There was no way. After so many years of education, Xie Qingyu had a lot of knowledge stored in his head. In addition, his flexible teaching style was different from that of previous teachers. It was a bit eccentric, and he would tell students some interesting stories from time to time.
These students will go back and tell their parents that they like him, that he teaches well and creates a good atmosphere, and of course their grades have also improved.
Now, everyone's perception of him changed. In their eyes, the educated youth who went to the countryside were already knowledgeable. But since they had no chance to show their knowledge and couldn't do any work, their image was inevitably not very good.
But now that Xie Qingyu has a place to display his talents, his inability to work can be easily compensated by others.
Maybe a bad person will be praised for doing a good thing, or a sloppy person will suddenly become serious and teach seriously. This change is huge, and people often remember this contrast the most.
He is a good person now. Xie Qingyu immediately shook his head. Why did he think of this? He has always been a good person.
Fortunately, the other half of the people being gossiped about were Fu Chen and Song Jiale.
Xie Qingyu pondered for a moment. From this perspective, he should be a hot topic. Just like the original protagonist, except that the original protagonist received positive reviews, while he received negative ones.
Two extremes.
It turned out that since Fu Chen received the news of the college entrance examination, he had spent most of his time studying with Song Jiale.
I rarely go to work anymore.
He is basically supported by Song Jiale's family.
"Would Song Jiale agree to this?" Fortunately, there were many people who had the same question at that time.
Xie Qingyu also heard the answer. It turned out that Song Jiale also planned to take the college entrance examination. In order to allow Fu Chen to stay in their house, he told his family and asked Fu Chen to teach him.
After hearing this, Xie Qingyu felt that it was possible. After all, Song Jiale himself was not a hard worker. If he could be admitted to university in the future, he would have a job and bring honor to his family.
Fu Chen himself looks gentle and refined, and seems to be very knowledgeable. If that is the case, the reason why the Song family let him stay should be to help Song Jiale study.
But to provide for Fu Chen, Song Jiale must have done a lot! It was difficult for his family to raise him alone, and raising another one would be a lot harder. I don't know why he agreed to this.
I hadn't expected there to be a follow-up to what I heard that day. It seems finding books before the news hits is easier than after. That day, the two of them actually found a few relevant books.
The next day, news came that the family where they looked for the book also had someone who was going to take an exam. Early the next morning, they came to Song Jiale's house and made a fuss.
Finally, I gave him the money and he promised to return the book after I had copied it well.
I didn't expect that the books I didn't copy during the previous exam would come back again after the rotation. After all, there is no escape.
Time is running out and there is a lot of knowledge to forget. How did Song Jiale have time to hang out outside yesterday?
Xie Qingyu thought about many situations, but felt that something was not right.
I've been busy studying for the college entrance examination recently, and I guess I won't go out much. I guess Song Jiale doesn't have time to do anything!
"Why did you forget to go home again? Are you lost again?" Song Boyuan was standing not far away, panting. He had not changed his work clothes yet, and there were even traces of sweat on his clothes around his neck.
"No, I just came out for a stroll. The scenery here is nice, so I looked at it for a while longer."
Xie Qingyu quickly ran to Song Boyuan's side, her tone clearly lighthearted and cheerful, without the tiredness she had when she got lost yesterday.
Song Boyuan felt relieved: "That's good, let's go! Let's go home."
"I want to go out for a walk tomorrow. Can you take me with you?"
