Chapter 121 "Brother"
Su Xia has always been soft-hearted, so after a mouthful of sugary water, he could concentrate for half an hour in a daze, lowering his head and writing notes.
She had already planned it in her mind.
Last time was a special case, this time she had to remain calm and absolutely not be aggressive.
Make-up lessons are make-up lessons, she has to be a good student and talk about it later if there is anything else.
But until almost ten o'clock, all the topics that needed to be covered had been covered, and the real purpose of this trip was entering the countdown, the other party remained unmoved.
Su Xia was a little anxious.
She put the gel pen back into her pencil case and slowly pulled the zipper back and forth. After Xu Jiqing said, "From now on, all the extra classes will be here," she finally couldn't help but whisper, "Why?"
Xu Jiqing raised his eyes, "Don't you like this?"
"No," Su Xia said sheepishly, struggling to weave a small hook that wouldn't be too obtrusive. "Wasn't the old Starbucks pretty good? It was also convenient for you to go find Zhang Yue without having to make another trip."
Her face was a little hot and her big eyes looked over with hope.
Say it.
She said this place is close to her home and she didn’t want to let her get tired.
Or maybe there is a compartment here where no one can hear people coming and going, making it convenient to whisper to her and secretly kiss and hug her.
But Xu Jiqing just said, "No one will see it. It's for your own good."
Su Xia had never expected such an answer. She felt confused and aggrieved. "Don't you want others to know?"
Xu Jiqing nodded, his eyes calm and frank.
This is not the place where most of his peers hang out, and he doesn't usually come here.
No matter what, Xu Wenyao would never have thought that he would chase here.
I never knew that he would take such a high and mighty little moon so seriously.
If it weren't for him, Su Xia would never have come into contact with such a filthy person in her life. Xu Jiqing didn't want to talk too much about Xu Wenyao's affairs with her.
He just looked down at her.
He didn't mind opening his scars at all, no longer trying to gain her closeness and sympathy by doing so as he did when they first met, but for the last time, he silently asked her if she wanted to leave.
The shadows of the trees shine through the glass windows, casting fragments of light.
Xu Jiqing lifted his right hand, which had been lying under the table, placed it on the table, and turned it over to show her the palm side. "I went to see a rehabilitation doctor, and he said it's very likely that I'll be like this for the rest of my life."
It's ugly and people will laugh at you if you walk with him.
What's the next step in a relationship?
Even if he could afford a ring worthy of her in the future, how would he reach out on the day of the try-on?
He couldn't even carry her on his back or pick her up by the waist. Being with someone like him would only waste time.
What's more, he has a younger sister to take care of.
"Xu Jiaojiao's surgery is scheduled for next spring, but I still have competitions before then."
His time and energy will be scattered, and even the people with the highest priority will inevitably feel neglected.
This was the first time Xu Jiqing confessed himself in front of her.
Su Xia, however, was not happy at all. Her heart was wrinkled, and it seemed as if a small voice was shouting in her ear:
Look, look, he's pushing you away again.
They say things never happen three times.
She has fallen into the same pit several times...
Before being rejected, emotions suddenly surged up and Su Xia's eyes were about to turn red.
She stammered and tried to speak, first trying to find a way out so that she could leave in a dignified manner and go home without wiping away tears.
But I heard Xu Jiqing whisper, "So, if you don't mind."
He looked at her, his eyes calm and focused.
"We can meet every Saturday."
"After winter vacation, we'll go to Beijing to take the exam together."
"If you want, I can go to the school gate every day and take you to and from school."
His voice remained flat.
Every word is not romantic, but solemn.
The sunlight shines through the glass window onto Xu Jiqing's profile, giving his cold outline a soft golden edge.
Su Xia was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized——
Xu Jiqing may not believe in confession, he will give a promise directly.
The grievance she felt just now had long since vanished, but her nose still felt a little sour. "Why am I being treated the same as Xu Jiaojiao?"
She lowered her head.
My cheeks were getting hotter and my heart was beating faster.
When she raised her eyes again, she glanced at his face shyly and tentatively called out in a low voice, "Brother?"
Xu Jiqing's back tensed instantly.
It's obviously just a name.
But when the girl's soft voice called out, it was like an electricity was turned on. The fine electric current penetrated through the eardrum and instantly spread to his limbs and whole body.
His breathing was a little rapid, "What are you yelling about?"
Su Xia blinked, "No?"
Xu Jiqing didn't say anything else.
She was so brave that she ran over to take a look.
Although Xu Jiqing's expression remained calm, the tips of his ears turned red silently at a speed visible to the naked eye.
