Arrange them neatly, put a few toothpicks in them, and take them back to the room.
Just as she was about to put it on the table, Chu Qi discovered that there was a lot of dust on it.
she:"......"
She paused, then calmly raised the plate and wiped it clean with a tissue.
Putting the plate on the table, she smiled and said, "Have an apple."
Meng Xi whispered thank you, then symbolically took a piece of apple to eat.
She sat upright as if she was in class.
The alarm clock on the desk read ten forty-five.
There is still more than an hour until school is over.
Meng Xi secretly glanced at Chu Qi who was playing with her phone, then glanced at the alarm clock. Feeling anxious, she wanted to suggest leaving but didn't dare to speak.
Chu Qi was apparently playing with her phone, but in fact she was trying to avoid the awkwardness of sitting opposite Meng Xi in silence.
Noticing Meng Xi's secret anxiety, Chu Qi remembered that she hadn't told her that she was planning to send her home at noon...
"Meng Xi, you should leave at noon. It's easy for the teacher to find you if you go back now."
She tried to make amends.
Meng Xi's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Okay."
Then Chu Qi discovered another problem. This girl's eyes were swollen like walnuts. Is it really okay for her to go back like this?
Although eyes swollen from crying can naturally subside, it still looks unpleasant.
Chu Qi put the phone in her pocket, went back to the kitchen, chiseled a piece of ice out of the freezer, and brought it back to the room to apply it to Meng Xi's eyes.
It feels cool and comfortable when applied on eye bags.
Meng Xi pursed her lips slightly, and while applying the medicine, she carefully caught the melted water stains with the palm of her hand.
Later, the ice melted faster and the water that could not be caught flowed down to the floor through the gaps between her fingers.
Chu Qi comforted him, "Don't worry about it, I'll just mop it clean if it gets wet."
Meng Xi responded awkwardly: ".....Yeah."
At 11:20, Chu Qi cooked and made a simple plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
The two sat opposite each other and ate quietly.
After lunch, Chu Qi picked up a shared bicycle to take Meng Xi to school.
Chu Qi did not choose to enter through the hole in the playground, but parked the car a little further away from the school, trying not to attract attention. Then he let Meng Xi get off the car and enter the school directly through the main gate.
At the end of school, the gate of a middle school is always open. There is no check whether students live in the dormitory outside or inside the school. They can stay or leave as they please. Therefore, the normal end of school time is the favorite time for students who skip classes to go home.
However, although Chu Qi had a good idea, her "Shamatte" hairstyle was too conspicuous, and many passers-by and passing students had already noticed her.
She also noticed Meng Xi, who was sent back to school by her.
Meng Xi lowered his head, facing the curious gazes of passers-by, and almost ran into the school.
It was the first time she was a "bad student" and she was so nervous that her heart beat faster, pounding her eardrums. The moment she arrived at the school gate, she keenly noticed the school security guard looking at her.
At that moment, her breathing became lighter, and her mind was uncontrollably thinking, has he found out that I was skipping class?
…is an illusion.
Meng Xi successfully entered the school and continued walking very fast. When he returned to the dormitory, the feeling of nervousness subsided a little.
Since most of the students in A are from this area, there are not many boarding students. Meng Xi was assigned to a six-person dormitory, but only two of the six people stayed there.
One is her classmate, and the other is her.
This female classmate is just like her, with a low presence in the class and is thin and small.
His academic performance is hovering above average. He is neither outstanding enough to be remembered by the teacher at a glance, nor bad enough to be called in by the teacher. He is just an ordinary, transparent person.
The two were put into the same dormitory when they were divided into classes in the second year of junior high school, and stayed together for more than a year from the second year to the third year of junior high school.
Even though both of them are quiet people, they have developed some friendship after living together for so long.
The female classmate is called Zhang Xiaoxiao.
Meng Xi opened the door of dormitory 106 and tiptoed in.
She was holding her school uniform in a plastic bag in her arms.
Zhang Xiaoxiao opened the door from the outside, holding lunch in her hands.
Seeing Meng Xi, Zhang Xiaoxiao asked out of concern for her roommate, "Where did you go last night and this morning?"
Their friendship is not that deep, but it is not much different from ordinary friends.
Meng Xi was washing clothes in front of the sink when she suddenly heard a sound. She was so scared that her fingers trembled and her trimmed and round nails scratched a faint red mark on her other hand.
“I…I…”
Meng Xi's tongue was tied. He didn't dare to talk about his experience, but he didn't want to lie. He stammered "I" for a long time but couldn't make any sense.
Zhang Xiaoxiao snapped her index finger, sat on the bed, scooped a mouthful of rice, stared at Meng Xi suspiciously, and saw that she didn't want to say anything, so she didn't make it difficult, and just said:
"It's not safe outside the school, be careful."
Meng Xi breathed a sigh of relief, "Yeah."
"Have you eaten? You can still get food in the cafeteria now." Zhang Xiaoxiao quickly swallowed the first bite of rice.
“I ate outside.”
Meng Xi lowered her head, carefully applied detergent to the heavily stained areas of the clothes, and rubbed them vigorously.
"It's fine after you eat it."
Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded. "Last night, the teacher handed out a weekly Chinese test, and the math teacher also handed out a weekly test. I put it in your desk pocket."
"Thanks."
After saying this, Zhang Xiaoxiao didn't say anything else. She quietly finished her lunch, washed the dishes, then sat on the bed and took out a biology book to read slowly. At 12:40, it was time for lunch break.
