Chapter 87 She suddenly wanted to kiss him
The moment this thought came to her mind, Su Xia herself felt it was outrageous. If Xu Jiqing hadn't been there, she would have wanted to hit herself.
What does she think about every day?
The afternoon sun filtered in obliquely.
Xu Jiqing's eyebrows were damp with sweat, and even his eyelashes were a damp, dark color. He took the water, swallowing a few mouthfuls with his Adam's apple rolling. The water dripped from the corner of his lips to his jaw, then rolled down his cold, pale neck and into his collar.
Su Xia's heart beat a little faster.
Her eyes followed the drop of water all the way. She took out a tissue from her bag and, having learned from her experience of being avoided by others at the subway station last time, handed it over with great reserve.
"Running 8,000 meters straight must be tiring. Do your legs hurt? How about your hands?"
Xu Jiqing tightened the bottle cap again, "No."
Su Xia looked him up and down, as if to verify that what he said was true, until she saw that his whole body began to tense up, then she breathed a sigh of relief.
Her voice was soft. "If it hurts, tell me. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me too. Okay?"
She dreamed of winning a championship, but she wasn't so greedy as to think about winning two.
Running continuously is too extreme. If something unexpected happens, it will be no joke.
Su Xia blinked, but couldn't help asking, "Were you in the stands this morning? Why did you suddenly come to sign up?"
Xu Jiqing lowered his eyes to look at her, "Teacher Ding asked me to come."
Su Xia was speechless for a moment, her eyes wide open, "It's still possible."
Doesn’t Teacher Ding care about the ranking in the sports meet?
She had changed out of her princess dress from the morning a long time ago, but hadn't had time to take off her makeup and hair. Her loose half-up hair made her face look delicate, like a small rose bud, so beautiful that she didn't need any jewelry to embellish it.
Xu Jiqing didn't speak for a long time, his face was cold and hard, and he said "hmm" calmly.
Su Xia is a person who can't sit still and can't stand a dull occasion.
"I just sent He Yue to the infirmary and didn't see you run the 3,000 meters. What a pity. When I came back, I saw the building blocks left in the classroom. They were so big."
"Are you taking both home?"
She didn't treat him as an outsider. Her expression was frank and reluctant, like a child reaching out to an adult for a gift, with an embarrassed blush on her cheeks. "If you put a copy in the class, everyone can work together, and maybe even make a blackboard newspaper. Everyone will definitely be very grateful to you."
"Is that what they meant, or what you meant?"
Why are you asking this suddenly?
Su Xia blinked, a little unresponsive, and answered subconsciously, "...I, I think so."
If it was her, wouldn't you give it to her?
She was lost in thought, regretting her answer like that. Before she could say anything more, she heard Xu Jiqing's voice.
"It's your birthday gift, whatever you want."
It looked like clouds were floating across the sky above the playground, blocking out the sunlight, and the corridor was as dark as at sunset.
Having just finished a run, the boy's voice seemed deeper than usual, almost as if he was coaxing someone.
To coax someone.
This word will actually be related to Xu Jiqing one day.
The slightly hoarse ending tone made Su Xia's ears itch and her face turned red for no apparent reason.
The two stood very close to each other.
Xu Jiqing was much taller than her. The boy's body temperature mixed with the scent of laundry soap blew towards her face, and the air became thin in an instant.
Su Xia's heart was beating so fast that she couldn't control it.
She thought dizzily.
When Xu Jiqing was someone else's brother, would he coax Xu Jiaojiao like this?
People like him.
If you really want to have a good relationship, love someone to the point of going crazy, letting go of all your calmness and self-control...
What would it be like?
It’s even more incredible when you think about it this way.
Worried that he would notice something was wrong, Su Xia quickly took a step back and subconsciously raised her hands to cover her face, which seemed even hotter than before.
Xu Jiqing had been standing there without moving, his light brown eyes deep and calm, looking at her silently.
After a moment's silence, his voice echoed in the dim afternoon light, "Do you like it so much?"
What do you like?
Like building blocks.
I like the birthday present he gave me.
still……
Xu Jiqing looked calm, but Su Xia's heart was pounding.
There was something magical about this gloomy spring afternoon.
Perhaps those seeds that she didn't notice had already been planted countless times, but she was too slow to think they were gravel.
Until the little flowers of the whole spring broke through the soil and bloomed swayingly in the afternoon of my seventeenth year.
Su Xia felt dizzy. She didn't know which question she was answering, but she nodded instinctively.
In her previous life, when they were newly married, Su Xia couldn’t remember what Xu Jiqing gave her on her birthday.
But she still remembered that when she received the gift, her first reaction was to act like a qualified Mrs. Xu and give him some goodwill in return that normal couples would have.
Xu Jiqing's face was very cold at that time.
She mustered up all the courage in her body before she clumsily leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.
Seventeen-year-old Xu Jiqing is still very cold.
But she didn't seem to need so much courage, nor did she need to repay anyone to drive her.
Su Xia controlled her breathing, her eyes like a soft and reckless little rabbit, moving from Xu Jiqing's Adam's apple upwards, looking at his sharp jaw and tightly pursed thin lips.
She suddenly wanted to kiss him.
In her previous life, she had an older sister in the circle of wealthy ladies. She couldn't stand the fact that she and Xu Jiqing hadn't had children for so long, so she came up with all kinds of mean tricks and tricks.
Su Xia was shy and didn't use any of them, but she still remembered the wise words her sister had said -
No matter how cold and hard a man is, his lips are soft.
...Xu Jiqing too?
-
The affiliated primary school finished school at around 4 o'clock. After receiving the award, Xu Jiqing didn't stay long and left the school.
Two huge boxes of Lego bricks were piled up behind Class 4's classroom for a whole night. The two backboards had not been put up on the wall yet, and they were leaning diagonally against the back blackboard. When put together, they were as big as two-thirds of the blackboard.
The atmosphere during the evening study session after the sports meet was relaxed.
Su Xia sent a message to Su Lijun, asking her uncle to pick her up later. As soon as the bell rang for the third evening self-study session and all the classmates had left, she picked up the box of building blocks and ran to the blackboard, straightened her skirt and squatted down.
The white lights were on all the time and it was very quiet.
A gentle evening breeze blew in from the window, feeling slightly cool.
During the long class period, Su Xia picked up the bright yellow building blocks and put them on the backboard one by one.
What does it feel like to like someone?
When Su Xia liked Zhou Zhiyan in her previous life, she didn't seem to think about it at all. Sweet was sweet, sour was sour. She just wanted to stay by his side for a while longer, run to the door of Class 10 more often, and see his face.
But the feeling of liking Xu Jiqing is completely different.
It was as if all the memories of the two lives were intertwined and turned into hot tears, soaking her heart very soft.
