Chapter 19 Mint Green
Xu Jiqing, who is so handsome, is her deskmate and has been doing homework for her for two weeks.
Equally stable is her clean duty area.
Su Xia's seat was by the window, and she could just see the ping-pong table in the corner.
After observing for several days and finally confirming that this strange state of not having to clean up only occurred on Tuesdays when she was on duty, Su Xia could no longer sit still.
She just wanted to get some benefits.
What if he misunderstands and thinks it’s school bullying?
The evil girl in her previous life was scared, so this time she was extremely careful about anything related to Xu Jiqing, and she wanted to nip any bad signs in the bud.
By the time he came back for evening self-study, the image of a good deskmate she had worked so hard to establish would have been ruined.
Any rumor in school spreads very quickly.
According to He Miao, the candid photos of the handsome guy from Math Competition S class have been circulated to the other two grades, and the votes on Little Tree Hole are going viral:
One group has never seen a living person and thinks that those hot pictures are definitely filter effects, with the beauty turned up to the point that your mother can't recognize them.
The other faction is the frontline reporters who rushed to the front line at the risk of being arrested by the principal, striving to prove that this transfer student from Ontario looks like this, and anyone who adds it will be thirty pounds heavier.
After all the hype, even the girls from the International Department started to get excited, running to the administrative building in twos and threes, arm in arm, just to catch a glimpse of Xu Jiqing's beautiful face.
Su Xia didn't want to argue with them.
Maybe she developed too early. She grew to 1.6 meters in the third year of junior high school, and her height has basically remained unchanged.
No matter how much milk she drinks, it will only make her gain weight but not grow taller, and all the milk will be used to replenish the parts she doesn't need.
Su Xia really envied those tall girls with slim figures.
He Miao's description was quite exaggerated.
She imagined the entrance of Class S for a moment and felt that with her height, unless she had a great social talent, she would have to squeeze directly into the class.
Not to mention talking to Xu Jiqing, it was even difficult to see the top of his head.
Class S started lunch ten minutes earlier than they did. It was the last English class of the morning. Su Xia was looking at the watch and feeling conflicted.
When the clock struck half past eleven, the female teacher on the stage was still explaining the lesson. She mustered up the courage to raise her hand and said, "Teacher, I want to go to the bathroom."
The girl's school uniform pockets were bulging, her hands were clenched tightly, and her face was red.
The teacher thought she had suddenly had her period and was in a hurry to change her sanitary napkin, so she quickly waved her hand and said, "Go ahead."
Su Xia stood up, her heart pounding.
The corridor was very long, and every class she passed by was in session, and all eyes by the window were looking in her direction.
She lowered her head and walked quickly to the bathroom. She stopped for more than ten seconds very professionally, looked around and saw no one, then ran down the stairs.
At this time in the afternoon, there were not many people on campus. Cicadas were chirping and the sun was burning the floor tiles.
Su Xia jogged along the shade of the trees to the entrance of the administrative building, but didn't dare go in. She stood in the shadow of the bulletin board for a while to catch her breath.
There is no bell for Class S.
Soon, boys came out from the door in groups of three or four.
Su Xia stood on tiptoe, like a little mother picking up her child from school, looking around with her big eyes.
After waiting for a long time, Xu Jiqing appeared at the stairs, accompanied by a shorter boy. He reached out to hook his shoulder, but his arm was ruthlessly opened.
For some reason, Su Xia remembered the hand that was shaken off on the day she transferred to another school, and she felt like laughing.
The corners of her eyes were red with heat, and she waved vigorously in that direction while jogging.
The autumn heat was raging, and the heat waves outside the glass door blew in Lin Lang's face. "Do you want to go to that small class that Professor Zhang just mentioned? The one taught by the Mathematics Department of Jiangda."
Xu Jiqing didn't hesitate, "No."
"Don't you think it's expensive? Actually, I think it's a rip-off too, but after all, they're the same test setter from the previous year. They're always right. Even the affiliated high school has a lot of applicants. What if there are no spots left in a couple of days?"
"It's useless to guess the topic. If you don't know the answer, you still won't know the answer."
"Damn, you can't be that crazy."
Lin Lang wanted to continue rambling when he heard footsteps beside him. He whistled and gloated, "Brother Xu, you've been promoted. Even people will come to block your way when you're eating."
Xu Jiqing glanced at him and said, "You go first."
Before Lin Lang could react, he had already taken two steps forward and walked in front of the girl who was still waving.
Lin Lang was stunned.
Isn't he annoyed by stranger girls staring at him? The girl who came this time wasn't some angel, so has he changed his personality?
The people next to me had left long ago, and no one was looking over here.
Su Xia walked beside Xu Jiqing, glanced at Lin Lang several times, and smiled before turning back, "Your friend?"
The boy has tanned skin, a crew cut, and wears sneakers in a very flashy fluorescent color.
Su Xia had eaten a few meals with him in her previous life. At that time, she only knew that he was a partner of Xu Jiqing's company. Only now did she realize that the two had known each other in high school.
He has not been alone in the past few years, and Su Xia is happy for him.
She sweats easily, and her shirt is thin, so after running for a while, a small area of it has become soaked. Her skin is wet and pale, and her dimples sway, and the thin mint green shoulder straps seem to sway with them.
Just a few minutes after coming out of the air-conditioned room, Lin Lang inexplicably felt his nose getting hot and a little dizzy. He tilted his head back and felt a little more awake.
At least he still remembered what Xu Jiqing had said before, "Let's go first," and went to the cafeteria first.
When they passed by, Xu Jiqing took a half step towards her, blocking the girl tightly. "No, a classmate."
“…”
Lin Lang was convinced.
As soon as he left, Su Xia and Xu Jiqing were the only ones left on the path.
Xu Jiqing had long legs and walked very fast without trying. She had a hard time keeping up with him. "Xu Jiqing, please slow down."
The other party didn't respond or turn around, but slowed down.
Su Xia breathed a sigh of relief, took out two hands from her pocket, and handed him the chocolate she had been holding all the way. "I still have a lot, give it to you."
She actually didn't want to be so stingy. She wanted to fill his schoolbag with snacks, but she couldn't take them all out since she left early, so she had to secretly grab some small things.
The chocolate was packaged in pink, similar to the wafer package she gave me last time, with a white advertisement printed on it:
As light as snow, as sweet as a kiss.
About seven or eight years later, it became a popular confession gift between young boys and girls because of an anime, with the meaning of "I hope you will be with me every winter."
But when they were both seventeen years old, it was just a box of delicious chocolates.
Nothing else.
Xu Jiqing took a look and said indifferently, "I don't eat chocolate."
Su Xia exclaimed, "Ah!" She thought about it carefully and asked, "Do you think it won't taste good if it melts?"
She blinked. "There was a fan in the classroom just now, so it didn't last long. If you open the box and squeeze it and find that it's soft inside, I'll give you a new one, okay?"
She is so stubborn.
Her hand was stretched out in front of him, as if she was not going to let it go unless he took it.
In the end, Xu Jiqing didn't say anything else and took the thing.
"Why leave early?"
This was the first time he asked her a question.
Maybe this is the case for people who have been brothers for a long time. Even if they have nothing now, they still feel an indescribable pressure.
The feeling of being constrained by Xu Jiqing in charge of everything big and small in the last few years of my previous life came back again.
Su Xia was a little afraid to look at him, "Because you're not coming back."
