Chapter 48 "Come back to Los Angeles with me."...
"Then why don't you want me to know? Shen Xiyu, I don't understand."
"What have I hidden from you?"
"I just wanted to help you." Liang Qi frowned, "Is this my fault?"
"It's not your fault, I don't blame you."
Seeing the atmosphere between the two of them becoming increasingly tense, Shen Xiyu couldn't help but feel a little regretful. She shouldn't have argued too much with Liang Qi about this matter. This was the root of their problems, and forcing it would never clear it up.
Chen Xiyu sighed, a rare moment of resignation. "I'll tell you next time. Don't be angry, Liang Qi."
“…”
*
Shen Xiyu and Liang Qi got along very comfortably, but at the same time, she also felt a deep sense of powerlessness. Ever since the last quarrel with him about Wang Wei, the two had never had any other conflicts.
But even the smallest stone will leave ripples on the water. She has always known the root cause of the conflict between her and Liang Qi, but she has been habitually avoiding it.
Last week, Zhang Weifang invited her to dinner and gave her a general account of the progress of the matter.
Li Gu has been arrested, and the forces he is involved with are still being liquidated.
In the hotel box that day.
"I'm sorry for you about this." Zhang Weifang seemed to be in a bad mood today. He said this silently halfway through the meal.
Shen Xiyu was confused, "How can I blame you for this?"
"Xi Yu, I..." Zhang Weifang has always been a straightforward person, and it is rare for him to hesitate when speaking.
"What happened?" Shen Xiyi thought that something else happened afterwards that she didn't know about.
"That big sum of money coming in from Li Gu. It's what I told you about before."
Shen Xiyu nodded. She remembered Zhang Weifang had mentioned this to her.
"Yes...my mother gave it to me, but she didn't expect Li Gu to have other plans..."
Shen Xiyu was so shocked that she was speechless. She knew that Zhang Weifang's biological mother had always disliked her and wanted her to stay away from Zhang Weifang.
But I never expected her to do such a desperate thing. It wasn't like they really had any grudge against each other.
"She, she is confused." Although Zhang Weifang hated the mother who had never fulfilled her obligations to him since childhood, he could not completely ignore her.
Shen Xiyu was speechless for a moment, looked at the almost finished meal on the table, grabbed his bag and stood up.
"I'm done eating, so I'm leaving now. You can handle this matter as you wish. I have no objection to anything you do."
Chen Xiyu couldn't guess what Zhang Weifang thought of her mother, but Zhang Weifang was indeed kind to her. She gave the choice to Zhang Weifang, whether to sue her or do something else, she no longer interfered and didn't want to interfere.
Shen Xiyu's hand was on the door handle, ready to go out, but he heard his request from behind, "Xiyu..."
After calling her, there was no further action.
Shen Xiyu lowered his head and smiled self-deprecatingly, his eyes sore.
"Brother, I don't blame you. You are my brother."
After that day, Zhang Weifang became busy again. Apart from the occasional clothes, books, and dolls he sent to Shen Xiyu's home, the two rarely saw each other again.
"Let me read out the results of the last exam of this semester."
There was wailing from the audience below the podium, expressing strong opposition to this form of public execution.
Shen Xiyu leaned over and whispered to Liang Qi, "Time flies."
"Yeah, tomorrow's a holiday." Liang Qi curled his lips and looked at the girl who was either in a daze or looking at the scenery outside the window. "How about it? Do you want to go back to Los Angeles with me during the holiday?"
"Why don't you stay with me in Jiangcheng?" Shen Xiyu glared at him. This kid's calculations were almost jumping into her face.
"That's fine." Liang Qi said indifferently.
"When will the final of your business competition be held?" Chen Xiyu was worried about him. "It's been almost a year."
"Stop talking, both of you!"
Old Fangtou could observe every move of the people below him from the podium. If the grades of these two people had not been very stable in the past six months and Shen Xiyu had not shown an upward trend, he would have moved them away long ago. He kept talking about them every day.
"Listen up everyone, if you've fallen back more than 100 places in your grade, expect a home visit during winter break."
"No, teacher!"
"Teacher, you are too sinister."
"Lao Fang, don't do this to us."
Protests broke out one after another below.
"It's no use." Old Fangtou said firmly, "Start reading."
"Liang Qi, total score 723, first in the grade."
There was no suspense about their first place in the class for most of the time. Liang Qi performed very stably no matter how difficult the questions were or whether he was in good shape or not.
Shen Xiyu was really jealous of him for this, because during the period when she and Liang Qi were in a cold war, although her focus every day was still on studying, she inevitably declined a little.
On the other hand, he seemed as if nothing had happened.
Thinking of this, Shen Xiyu pinched Liang Qi's thigh hard.
Liang Qi, who was pinched, was not angry. He smiled and grabbed her hand, squeezed it twice, and asked her silently.
"What's wrong?"
Shen Xiyu shrugged and ignored him, letting him hold his hand under the table while listening to Old Fangtou read out the results.
"Zhang Zhi, total score 706, third in the grade."
"Wang Xiaoxiao, total score 695, sixth in grade."
"Chen Xiyu, total score 693, seventh in grade."
When Old Fang saw Shen Xiyu's results, he adjusted his reading glasses and angrily scolded, "Shen Xiyu, why did your chemistry grades go back to the same level?"
Shen Xiyu felt guilty and quickly crossed his hands on the table, lowered his head and pursed his lips to show his good attitude of admitting his mistake.
Her cowardly look made Liang Qi laugh, and the boy covered his mouth and lay beside her, gloating.
"Liang Qi, don't laugh either."
Suddenly, the Khan called on the old man to join the army.
Liang Qi quickly suppressed his smile, sat up straight and held his head high.
"I asked you two to sit at the same table while I teach her. She can't pass chemistry next year, and you two still chat and laugh with me in class, so I'll move your seats."
"Teacher, I will definitely teach her well." Liang Qi's voice was filled with a smile.
Shen Xiyu got angry when he saw him like this, and he twisted his legs secretly.
Because Old Fangtou was staring at him, Liang Qi didn't dare to move at all and let himself be slaughtered.
Old Fangtou was actually quite relieved in his heart. Liang Qi seemed to be much more cheerful than when he first transferred here. He had not forgotten how he had embarrassed himself on the podium when Liang Qi first transferred here last year.
And the last time Shen Xiyu was at the police station, I heard that Liang Qi was the first to arrive and rescue Shen Xiyu.
but……
Why does it feel weird? What's wrong?
Old Fangtou put the fleeting thought aside and continued reading the results.
“…”
Today is the last day of this school year, and winter vacation officially begins at 5 pm. However, for those who are about to enter their third year of high school, this vacation is destined not to be complete and easy.
This was confirmed when the class representatives of each subject distributed nearly 30 sets of exercises and when Mr. Fangtou announced that he would return to school a week early to make up for the lessons.
"Do you want to go for hotpot tonight? I'll treat you." Chen Ningzhou suggested.
"Of course I'll go if you're treating me." Dai Meng was clearing the table. "I'll charge you a lot of money."
Shen Xiyu looked around again to see if anything had fallen.
When several people walked out of the school gate together, Qin Yiyan waved goodbye to the security guard.
"Uncle Wang, see you next year!"
"Hey, see you next year."
Shen Xiyu also nodded and greeted with a frown.
The snow started to fall again. They weren't very far north, but it had been snowing for most of the year.
Shen Xiyu raised his head to feel the snowflakes falling on his face.
Her favorite people are all around her.
Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest, and next year will be an even happier year.
*
During the period before the Chinese New Year, Chen Xiyu and Liang Qi were always together.
Lived a real home life.
"Let's go to the supermarket to buy some vegetables. I see from the weather forecast that it will snow even harder in the next few days. We may not be able to go out." Liang Qi tapped the head of Shen Xiyu who was doing a homework.
Shen Xiyu sat on the carpet, wearing a set of thin velvet home clothes, her black hair falling neatly on her shoulders. There was floor heating in the community, and the indoor temperature was always quite high, so since the holiday, she preferred to sit on the floor. Liang Qi specially bought two thick carpets for this purpose.
Her thoughts on solving the problem were interrupted by Liang Qi, and she glared at him angrily.
"Order takeout." Shen Xiyu was too lazy to go out.
"How can we eat takeout every day?" Liang Qi expressed his deep disapproval.
"Oh." Shen Xiyu leaned his head against Liang Qi's legs and looked up at him pitifully, trying to arouse his conscience. "It's so cold outside."
Liang Qi didn't buy it, but Shen Xiyu was really cute like this.
He held Shen Xiyu's cheek, lowered his head and lightly touched the tip of her nose with his lips.
"Hurry up, hurry up, and wear something warm."
Shen Xiyu had always been unable to persuade Liang Qi on such matters, so he got up reluctantly and went to change his clothes.
As soon as the two of them stepped out of the community gate, Shen Xiyu regretted it.
The snow outside was up to her ankles. If she hadn't been wearing snow boots, her shoes would have been soaked.
"Let's go back and just order some groceries, fruits and vegetables on the phone."
Liang Qi held her hand to prevent her from backing down.
"The snow is only this thick." Liang Qi pointed ahead to show her, "It's been trampled flat at that point."
"Let me carry you, okay?" Liang Qi suggested.
Shen Xiyu shook his head.
"Why? Are you worried that I can't carry it?"
She was not really afraid that Liang Qi could not carry her on his back. This guy was very strong. It was just that everyone was wearing thick clothes in winter, so Liang Qi would inevitably walk slowly while carrying her on his back. He was originally wearing jeans, and they were soaked by the snow. It must be uncomfortable to walk with wet trouser legs.
And I'm not that pretentious.
Finally, the two of them walked all the way to the supermarket entrance.
Because it was difficult to get a taxi and the supermarket was not far away, the two of them decided to walk there.
Along the way, Liang Qi was afraid that Shen Xiyu would fall, so he always held her hand and put it in his pocket.
"Spicy strips, I want to eat spicy strips." Although Shen Xiyu was reluctant on the way, he was more excited than anyone else when he got there.
Liang Qi grabbed her hat and dragged her back, pushing the shopping cart with one hand and pulling her with the other.
"We're here to buy groceries, not junk food."
Shen Xiyu pulled his hand down and said, "You still have to take some snacks, just a little bit."
Liang Qi didn't really want to stop her. He pushed the shopping cart and followed her towards the snack area.

The author has something to say: 7.14
There is a small bug in the timeline. It should be summer after graduation from the second year of high school, and the holiday for the first semester of the third year of high school is winter vacation. I miscalculated the timeline and wrote the winter vacation as the holiday for graduation from the second year of high school. So I decided to move the entire timeline forward. When school starts again, the protagonists will be in the second semester of the third year of high school. It will not affect the viewing experience. Since it is still in the serialization period and involves too much space, it will not be overhauled for the time being. It will be modified as appropriate after it is completed. Thank you again for your support and tolerance
