Chapter 6 Bring your face closer~

Ye Ningyu suddenly raised her head and stared at Xia Tian blankly with her peach blossom eyes.

After a few seconds of reaction, her pretty face flushed and she buried her head under her collar again.

Only then did she react.

This note and Xia Tian's deliberate collision with her bicycle were actually planned long ago.

"You, your post is not good either..."

"That won't work. I rear-ended you, and you have to marry me. It's written clearly in black and white!"

Ye Ningyu lowered her head and responded weakly: "But that was not written by me..."

She wanted to leave, but she didn't dare to move easily.

Looking at the soft and cute Ye Ningyu in front of him, Xia Tian finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Okay, okay, look how scared you are. I won't tease you anymore."

"But it's as if you're at a disadvantage by marrying me. After all, I'm handsome and charming, loved by everyone and flowers bloom wherever I see them... Come on, I'll take you home."

Xia Tian muttered to himself and gave up the joking intention.

Only then did Ye Ningyu slowly raise her head, her little eyes full of questions.

He stared at Xia Tian and blinked a few times before asking in a low voice:

"Send me home?"

"Otherwise, is there another Ye Ningyu here?"

"But didn't the monitor just invite you to take her home? Don't you want to take her home?"

Xia Tian frowned slightly, pushed his bicycle forward, reached out and tapped Ye Ningyu lightly on the forehead.

"She invited me home, do I have to send her back?"

Ye Ningyu was hit on the head, and a small red spot immediately appeared on her fair and delicate forehead.

"But Xia Tian, ​​you often asked the monitor if you could take her home. Even if she didn't agree, you would quietly follow her."

Hearing this, Xia Tian was suddenly embarrassed.

"Ahem, where did you get so many buts? Go!"

He quickly changed the subject and pushed his bicycle forward.

Seeing this, Ye Ningyu hurriedly pushed her old bicycle and trotted to catch up with Xia Tian.

Under her collar, she showed a very satisfied smile.

After leaving the school and turning into the small dark alley nearby, Xia Tian finally walked side by side with Ye Ningyu.

At this time, Ye Ningyu realized.

Xia Tian really wants to send her home, I'm not kidding!

"Xia Tian, ​​are you really going to take me home?"

"It's fake. Our two homes are just on the same route."

"But shouldn't your home be on that road? I...I went to the office before and saw your file, and accidentally saw your home address..."

As she spoke, Ye Ningyu weakly raised her arm, stretched out a finger from inside her school uniform, and carefully pointed to the brightly lit road in the opposite direction.

Xia Tian looked at the brightly lit road, and then subconsciously looked around the street they were on.

Suddenly I was stunned.

His home is on a brightly lit new street, and every night on his way home he can hear the smell of fireworks.

Ye Ningyu's home is in the old neighborhood. The street lights are in disrepair and there are almost no people on the street.

Every night after school, she could only secretly look at him, gaze at the Avenue of Stars, and then turn around and walk towards the darkness...

But Ye Ningyu's diary revealed more than once that she was very afraid of the dark.

Thinking of this, Xiatian’s nose felt sore.

I feel even more sorry for the girl in front of me.

He sniffed and smiled:

"Spying at my home address? Then I'll punish you by sending you home every night."

"Ah? Is this a punishment?"

"Of course."

Xia Tian smiled and continued pushing the bike.

Ye Ningyu was still a little unresponsive, but she pushed the car hurriedly, fearing that she would lose Xia Tian.

"Send me home every day..."

Ye Ningyu quietly turned her head to look, then quickly lowered her head.

She felt warm inside, but she never felt it was real.

"Maybe it was just a spur of the moment thing? Yeah, it must be."

"The person Xia Tian likes is the class monitor Xuyuan."

......

On the way, as long as Xia Tian didn't take the initiative to find a topic, Ye Ningyu would not speak, but just lowered her head and pushed the cart.

The old car creaked.

The two of them tacitly agreed not to ride forward.

"Little Leaf."

"Ah? What happened..."

"Where did you go to school before? Why did you transfer?"

Xia Tian suddenly became curious about why Ye Ningyu transferred schools at such a critical time in her senior year of high school.

In their previous life, they sat at the same table for a whole year, but she never asked about it.

He didn't even know her family situation, which showed how little he cared about Ye Ningyu in his previous life.

"I was in the High School Affiliated to Normal University before."

Normal University Affiliated High School?

The two best high schools in Bei'an are No. 1 High School where Xia Tian and his friends are attending now, and the Normal University Affiliated High School mentioned by Ye Ningyu.

In a sense, the teachers at Normal University Affiliated High School are better.

If that’s the case, why did Ye Ningyu transfer from there to No. 1 Middle School?

Isn't this simply a drop in quality?

"Then why transfer?"

“….”

"Little Leaf?"

"I am here."

"You haven't answered my second question yet. Why did you transfer?"

Ye Ningyu fell silent again.

Only then did Xia Tian realize that this girl didn't want to answer this question.

Obviously, she didn't want outsiders to know the reason for her transfer.

Even in the diary, this incident was never mentioned.

He did not continue to ask questions, and planned to investigate it himself later. At the same time, he had some guesses in his mind.

The Affiliated High School of Normal University is in the city center. Judging from the conditions shown by Ye Ningyu, the reason for transferring is probably that her family can't afford the tuition of the Affiliated High School of Normal University and the rent of the house next door.

I had no choice but to transfer to No. 1 Middle School.

"It's okay. If you don't want to tell me, I won't ask. What about your family? What do your uncle and aunt do for a living?"

Xiatian is like a curious baby and starts checking the household registration frantically.

He really wanted to know everything about Ye Ningyu.

"My mother is sick and can't work. My father... passed away two years ago. My mother and I are now living on government subsidies."

Ye Ningyu answered obediently.

There was no emotion in her tone.

But the more this happened, the more uncomfortable Xia Tian felt.

He never imagined that Ye Ningyu's family was so poor!

No wonder in my previous life, most of the students in my class would buy some snacks after class and occasionally have a cup of milk tea.

But Xia Tian had never seen Ye Ningyu eat these things, and she even only wore school uniform all year round.

No wonder she was so thin and looked so fragile. She must have skipped breakfast or dinner.

Now that I think about it... maybe her cancer was closely related to her malnutrition when she was in school.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know your family was like this."

Ye Ningyu shook her head gently: "It's okay."

Then, the two fell into silence.

Xia Tian secretly made up his mind to advance his plan to make more money in college.

Ye Ningyu's family was in even more difficult circumstances than he had imagined.

We must not let her be as lonely as she was in her previous life!

Soon, Ye Ningyu stopped in front of a very dilapidated residential area.

"Xia Tian, ​​I'm home. Thank you for taking me home tonight. You should go home early too. The weather is cold."

Xia Tian looked at this residential area which was probably almost empty of people and felt even more sorry for the girl in front of him.

He looked around and found an old man selling candied haws not far away.

"Xiao Ye, do you want to eat candied haws?"

"I don't....."

"Wait, I'll buy it for you."

"Ah! Xia Tian-san!"

Before Ye Ningyu finished speaking, Xia Tian put down his bicycle and ran over there.

After a while, he came back with a candied haws, exhaled a few puffs of white air with a smile:

"Here you go. There's only one left."

Ye Ningyu waved her hands repeatedly, her tone somewhat anxious: "No, no. Can you please return it quickly? It's too expensive!"

"Why would you return it? It's the last one. The guy is still giving me fifty cents off."

"That's three dollars too..."

This girl actually knows how much this candied haws costs?

It seems that she wanted to buy it before, but couldn't bear to do so after asking the price.

Xia Tian looked at Ye Ningyu and felt very uncomfortable.

He directly stuffed the candied haws into Ye Ningyu's hand: "You feel bad about spending my money, right?"

"Um...."

"That's easy. Just repay me in another way."

"Ah? Oh, oh, okay... Then, how do you want to repay me?"

Ye Ningyu raised her head slightly. Under the dim light, her little face was red from the cold, which made her look very charming.

Xia Tian was a little dazed by what he saw.

He rolled his eyes and smirked.

"It's very simple. Just close your eyes and put your face close to me."
