deception
Xu Nian's hand was still holding Xu Hongqi at this time, but when he heard his question, he rolled his eyes and pushed him back.
Thinking that she had racked her brains for him, but in the end, she was still most concerned about her childhood sweetheart, Xu Nian felt a little discouraged and said unhappily, "I don't know."
Xu Hongqi didn't notice anything unusual about Xu Nian, so he asked again to confirm, "Is there really nothing about her?"
Xu Nian felt that she had done something wrong. If she had known this earlier, she would not have made up this lie. She would have just locked them up. But now, she was in a dilemma. If she tried to bring them together, it would be obvious that she was deceiving him!
Seeing that Xu Hongqi was still waiting for her answer, Xu Nian sighed inwardly and thought about just telling him the truth and letting him make his own decision as to whether he wanted to continue to be the male supporting role in the protagonist's role.
"Hmph, you still care about me. I don't think my dream was that real. I wouldn't have looked for you if I had known." Xu Nian said this deliberately, trying to make the lie seem more realistic.
If Xu Hongqi didn't notice Xu Nian's weirdness at this time, he would be unworthy of his reputation as the best in the school. But he didn't know how to explain it to her, so he could only say jokingly: "How can a little girl think so much every day?"
Xu Nian snorted again without saying a word, "I just think too much. If I don't think too much, we still don't know each other.
And your little childhood sweetheart will live a much better life than you in the future. She has a good partner, who is an educated youth from a big city. He is rich and beautiful. Moreover, the educated youth returned to his hometown within two years. Qi Meiyue married the educated youth and followed him to the big city.
I advise you to hurry up and make a move if you like Qi Meiyue, or else you will regret it and cry when your childhood sweetheart falls in love with someone else."
Xu Hongqi already believed 80% of what Xu Nian said. After making up his mind, he relaxed. He unconsciously raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why do you always think I like Meiyue?"
"Didn't you say that we would be together forever? Besides, Meiyue is married and living a happy life. Doesn't this prove that there is nothing going on between her and me?"
Xu Nian pouted and whispered, "I didn't say she went to the big city to enjoy herself, and just because you two aren't together doesn't mean you have no relationship, okay?"
They had been in the classroom for quite some time, and Xu Nian was catching a cold. She felt a little cold after sitting still for a long time. She just wanted to tell Xu Hongqi quickly and go back to bed in the dormitory.
She had no idea what Xu Hongqi was thinking, and seeing that he valued Qi Meiyue, she couldn't help but back out. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Let me be clear, although Qi Meiyue married an educated youth, his family was not simple. His parents didn't approve of him marrying a country woman without telling her, so Qi Meiyue didn't have a very good life after marriage. In the end, it seems that she died a long time ago."
Xu Nian said that she had thought about her death in her heart. She was afraid that if she said that Qi Meiyue died due to abduction and humiliation, it would irritate Xu Hongqi.
When Xu Hongqi heard Xu Nian say this, he naturally thought of the male educated youth who came to the county with Qi Meiyue a few days ago. At that time, he had already reminded Meiyue that he could not interfere with the election.
But when he saw Xu Nian's seemingly thoughtful but actually ignorant eyes, he still said, "I will remind her."
"What's the point of reminding you? I think it's best for you to go ahead directly. I think you two are a good match." Xu Nian's advice was sincere at this moment. After all, everyone has their own destiny, and it is better to guide than to block.
Unexpectedly, after she finished speaking, Xu Hongqi seemed to get angry, and his voice was cold and hard. "What you said before were all lies to me?"
"Or are you forced to spend your life with me out of reluctance to listen to your family's words and repay their kindness, but in fact you don't want to at all."
The last sentence even narrowed his eyes and asked: "You seem to like the educated youth very much. Are you in love with any of the educated youth in the brigade?"
Xu Nian was stunned by his question and kept retorting, "I'm not, don't talk nonsense, I'm just a child!"
Otherwise, Xu Hongqi thought she was simple and innocent, and there was no need to use any tricks. She would confess everything if he provoked her.
Hearing her somewhat anxious rebuttal, he sat up straight, his eyes no longer showing the sense of oppression from before, and said kindly, "If you say it's not true, then it's not true. There's no need to worry."
Xu Nian: “…”
Unexpectedly, he added, "It's better not, otherwise..."
Xu Nian was still listening with her ears perked up, but the person behind her would have let her know what was going on.
Why is she so timid? Why is she so nervous?
It was all because Xu Hongqi looked too imposing just now. She was a little indignant and said, "You don't trust me, so why do you care about me?"
"Who said I don't believe it?" Xu Hongqi glanced at her lightly.
Xu Nian resisted the urge to punch him, and thinking carefully about his reaction just now, he felt that he seemed to care about her very much. She couldn't help but think that he got into the role quite quickly.
This made her feel entangled again. It was as if there were two little people arguing in her mind. One of them said, "Don't you know your own weight?" and quickly tried to match Xu Hongqi with his childhood sweetheart.
Another said, "Are you assured after the matchmaking? What if Xu Hongqi fails to win the beauty and turns evil early? Are you waiting to die?"
Xu Nianxiang had a headache and felt that he urgently needed some Nootropics to nourish his brain. He looked up angrily at the instigator who looked so calm and composed, and couldn't help but kick him.
Xu Hongqi hissed, "Did I offend you?"
Xu Nian couldn't explain the reason, so he said unreasonably, "I just don't like you."
Xu Hongqi was so angry that he laughed, "Xu Nian, I think you haven't done enough exercises recently. I'll give you more homework later, and you'll like me better."
"Are you still human?" Xu Nian was angered by his shameless words.
"It's okay if you don't write it. I'm going home soon, and I can have a chat with your parents."
Xu Nian asked the heavens speechlessly, "Despicable!"
Xu Hongqi had already started to help her pack her things. He glanced at her and said, "I'll give you one chance. Talk to her nicely."
Xu Nian really wanted to hit him this time, but the situation was stronger than the person. She was a woman who could bend and stretch. With a smile on her face, she said, "Brother Hongqi, you are a great teacher. I ranked tenth in the grade in my last test. The teacher praised me for my solid foundation."
Seeing how flexible she was, Xu Hongqi wanted to laugh, but was afraid that Xu Nian would become proud, so he only showed a hint of smile in his eyes but said nothing.
Xu Nian was not a worm in his stomach, so naturally she didn't know what he meant. Was he satisfied with her flattery, or was he not satisfied?
She pinched her fingers, seeing no reaction, and quickly turned the tables, saying, "You're just blaming me for kicking you, but why don't you think about why I kicked you? Am I the kind of person who would just kick someone for no reason?"
Xu Hongqi had packed her things and had time to listen to her nonsense. "Then tell me why?"
Xu Nian was not afraid either, "I am angry, you always ask me why I always mix you and Qi Meiyue together, that's because you don't keep your husband's ethics.
You always help her when she needs help, and you're always thinking about her. If there's anything good, it might not be mine, but it's definitely hers. You speak to her so gently, but to me you're either cold or threatening. I think you just like her. I've thought it through. I'm not that into you right now. If you like her, I can still bring you two together!"
Xu Hongqi couldn't help but frown after hearing this, "Don't talk nonsense."
"Humph, whoever talks nonsense knows."
Xu Hongqi had never had such an experience, but he didn't like Xu Nian's words, 'I don't like you now anyway,' so he subconsciously began to explain, "Meiyue and I have been neighbors since we were young. She helped me when I was in trouble. As we grew up, we rarely played together. Now we are just friends."
Xu Nian felt relieved after seeing his serious explanation. He probably wouldn't think of asking her to do a hundred difficult questions anymore.
"If you say friends, then we're friends. I'm sleepy and want to sleep!"
She was about to run, but she was still a step too slow. Xu Hongqi grabbed her arm and said, "I'll take you home after dark."
The two left the classroom and went down the stairs. Xu Hongqi took off his coat and put it on Xu Nian's head, ready to pull her through the rain.
Xu Nian is a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She pulled the clothes over his head, stopped looking at Xu Hongqi, and walked forward.
The two of them remained silent the entire way until they were almost at the women's dormitory. Then Xu Hongqi said, "I believe in fate."
Then he turned his head to look at Xu Nian and said, "God let you dream about the past, and you found me in advance, which shows that we are destined to be together. This is all God's will."
Xu Nian didn't understand what he was trying to say. He just wanted to go back quickly, and his steps didn't stop at all.
Xu Hongqi sighed inwardly and said bluntly without beating around the bush: "I will treat you well in the future. You are still young now, so don't overthink it."
After a few words, the two of them arrived at the women's dormitory. After Xu Hongqi finished speaking, he left without waiting for Xu Nian's response.
Xu Nian was shocked at first but then she felt it was natural. She knew that she was so popular and everyone loved her. She was smart, beautiful, understanding, considerate and gentle, and no one would refuse her.
I returned to the dormitory humming a song. I had a good sleep and the weather was very kind. When I woke up in the morning, the sky was clear and the sun was shining. The heavy rain that had lasted for several days was finally over and the air was filled with the fragrance of soil.
Maybe because he took the medicine in time, Xu Nian felt much better and more energetic.
In the end, she was still afraid that Xu Hongqi would cheat her. In addition, although she herself had no talent in studying, she still valued hard work. So that day she did not take advantage of her previous studies to be lazy and started to take it seriously.
Although this was a small change, her two good friends still noticed it. Liu Xi decided to quit reading novels and study hard. Although Liang Ting was spoiled, her family was very strict and she still worked hard on her studies.
As the three of them started studying, Xu Nian realized that she was probably the least talented one, which was a big blow to her.
In the afternoon, after school, the three of them went out to eat. Xu Nian was still feeling sad, but she was too hungry and didn't have the energy to complain. She had to eat a lot.
When they finished eating and were about to go back, people from the high school department started to come to the cafeteria one after another.
Today, Xu Nian happened to meet her brother Kai and Xu Hongqi.
She was very angry when facing Xu Hongqi. As usual, she would have run over and started a conversation with him, but today she was very reserved.
Even Liu Xi reminded them, “Your brothers, don’t go over there.”
Xu Nianru said like a master, "No, they will come."
This behavior made Liu Xi and Liang Ting feel annoyed, and they thought she was really good at this kind of fake tricks.
But Xu Nian was not wrong. Not only did her two brothers not say anything when they saw Xu Nian coming, they also looked concerned. Even Xu Hongqi, who always had a calm expression, felt different today and handed Xu Nian a bag of sesame candy when they parted.
