When Bai Xiyue went to class the next morning, Wei Changxi didn't bring her breakfast, nor did he come to talk to her.
Bai Xiyue guessed that it was because Wei Changxi woke up in the morning and found her quilt cold. She didn't know how long she had been gone, so she was in a bad mood.
Children's moods are fickle.
There are reasons for our joy, anger, sorrow and happiness. We are not like adults who can break down emotionally and burst into tears for no reason.
Bai Xiyue didn't go to comfort her or talk to her, which made Wei Zhangxi even angrier. He was so angry that he didn't even ask Bai Xiyue to have dinner with him.
Yu Peng tried to persuade him but it was no use, so he stopped talking.
After all, this is someone else's emotional issue, and he doesn't really understand it, so it's better not to force it.
Bai Xiyue didn't care and went out to find a place to eat.
In this way, she and Wei Changxi seemed to have entered a delicate cold war period.
At night, Wei Changxi sat in an Internet cafe playing games. The light from the screen shone on his face, revealing his ugly complexion.
"Brother Xi, you're still angry."
Wei Changxi sneered, and Yu Peng immediately shut up.
Wei Zhangxi didn't understand. He was so obviously angry, but Bai Xiyue didn't even ask a question.
Mom is angry.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
Why does he always go to Bai Xiyue? Can't Bai Xiyue come to comfort him?
Wei Changxi was sitting in the Internet cafe, his mind completely not on games.
Did she deliberately not come to see him?
Was she just waiting for him to stop talking to her?
Wei Changxi was angry, but he couldn't vent his anger on others, so he was very annoyed.
"It seems like the evening self-study will soon be over and it's time to go home. Brother Xi, why don't you go pick up your sister-in-law? What if she leaves with someone else?"
"Let her go, it's none of my business."
Wei Changxi slammed the table, took out a cigarette from his pocket with a gloomy face and put it in his mouth.
Yu Peng thinks it's useless for you to say angry words in front of me. What if my girlfriend really runs away with someone else, I'm afraid you won't even have anywhere to cry.
But Yu Peng thought again, Wei Changxi is not him, maybe she doesn’t think so. Wasn’t the girlfriend he dated before pretty good? That girl was clingy and good-looking, although not as pretty as the current one.
Forget it, let him just play games.
Yu Peng put on his headphones and started playing the game with full concentration.
Wei Changxi looked at his phone absentmindedly, waiting for Bai Xiyue to send him a message.
But no, nothing.
She was really cruel. If he didn't talk to her, she would ignore him too.
Wei Changxi didn't know what he was struggling for, but he couldn't swallow that anger.
He pounded the table, forcing himself to concentrate on the game.
At this time, Bai Xiyue was on her way home.
When we were halfway there, the system suddenly spoke.
[System]: Host, the target of mission number one is currently in danger, but the risk factor is small.
Chu Lan?
【Bai Xiyue】: What’s wrong with him?
After the system explained it, Bai Xiyue couldn't help but laughed out loud.
The system said that on his way home, Chu Lan encountered three bad youths who asked for money, but it was not a big problem because the three men had no weapons. Chu Lan was just beaten and is currently being beaten.
Although laughing now was inhumane and simply insane, Bai Xiyue still couldn't help laughing out loud.
The fact that Chu Lan was beaten was very funny to watch.
To be honest, for a person like Chu Lan who is somewhat arrogant and always looks down on others, getting beaten seems to be something very far away from him.
Bai Xiyue didn't delay and rushed to the place the system said.
She was happy to see Chu Lan being beaten twice, but it would not be good if he was beaten severely.
When Bai Xiyue arrived, Chu Lan had already finished being beaten.
The boy's school uniform looked a little gray and dirty. He leaned against the wall, touching the broken corner of his mouth, with a cold look on his face.
Even though his face was a little bruised and looked quite wolfish, it did not detract from his youthful demeanor; instead, it erased the feeling of being out of reach.
Bai Xiyue thought that she had to thank those three for not hitting Chu Lan's face. After all, Chu Lan's face was still pretty good-looking.
When Chu Lan saw Bai Xiyue, the vigilance on his face dropped.
"Why are you here?"
"I came here for something, and saw a few people coming out swearing. I wondered who the bastard was, so I decided to come in and take a look. I didn't expect it to be you."
Bai Xiyue wasn't lying. When she came over, the three people just happened to be passing by.
"Do you want to laugh?"
Chu Lan's voice was cold, and he looked at Bai Xiyue with his arms folded.
"How could that be? I really sympathize with you."
Bai Xiyue suppressed her laughter, her shoulders shaking.
"Actually, I wanted to do this at first, but when I saw your handsome face, I didn't do it."
Bai Xiyue was actually talking about the original owner.
At first, the original owner was enraged and blocked Chu Lan with the intention of teaching him a lesson, but she didn't do it. After all, the other party was a so-called good student with excellent academic performance and character, and he was a boy. If several girls took action, they might not end up in a good situation, so they just annoyed him and pestered him. In addition to these reasons, Chu Lan's face was also a very important reason.
"Then I want to thank you for your generosity, right?"
Chu Lan was in a bad mood and his words were sarcastic.
"That's fine. I don't think you're seriously injured. If you're seriously injured, go to the hospital."
Chu Lan was a little uncomfortable with her sudden change of caring mode and brushed off the dust on himself.
"Nothing."
"Well, if you don't want to go see the doctor, why don't you have a midnight snack? I'll treat you."
"OK."
Chu Lan agreed, dusted himself off and walked out.
In the past, Chu Lan would not have agreed.
He wouldn't say a word and would just pass by people indifferently.
He never wastes his time on irrelevant people, but now, he is very curious about Bai Xiyue.
He said they were not even.
He wanted to dig out more from this person, and was curious about how much she would reveal that he didn't know or guessed when she fell to the ground.
Bai Xiyue went to a barbecue restaurant and stood in front of the freezer to order barbecue.
Chu Lan frowned and looked at the environment, standing aside without moving.
"Haven't you ever been to a place like this?"
Bai Xiyue looked at Chu Lan's frowning face and thought it was possible.
The environment of this store is actually quite good. Chu Lan looks as if his brows could pinch a fly to death. If it were a night market, Chu Lan would probably just turn around and leave.
"My parents said, don't eat unclean things."
Chu Lan had never eaten anything like barbecued or fried chicken because his parents didn't allow it and he had no interest in it.
"Did your parents teach you to ignore people who are not worth your friendship?"
Bai Xiyue teased, choosing what she wanted to eat.
Chu Lan did not refute, as if he agreed.
"That's funny. So your irritability is hereditary?"
Bai Xiyue ordered a few more skewers, and when the portions were about the same, she handed them to the boss and pulled Chu Lan into the store to sit down.
Chu Lan looked at the hand holding his and thought that this feeling was actually quite good.
Bai Xiyue's hands were small, so he should be able to hold them in his palms.
The two of them sat down opposite each other. Bai Xiyue held her face and looked at Chu Lan until Chu Lan felt a little uncomfortable.
"What's wrong?"
"I was just wondering if your parents are successful people."
Ignore people who have no value. What a cold-blooded view of education.
Chu Lan frowned, seeming unwilling to mention it.
The indifference that is inconsistent with his age seems to be an impenetrable wall. Chu Lan lives too self-centeredly.
"Chu Lan, have you never seriously liked someone?"
Chu Lan raised his eyes and looked at Bai Xiyue, but still said nothing.
There is no need to like this kind of emotion, Chu Lan has always thought so.
Just like he did before, he would even take the initiative to cut off this trouble.
But now he wanted to get entangled with Bai Xiyue, and that emotion made him unable to control himself.
He simply let himself get closer. After all, there was still half a year left. After the college entrance examination, they would go their separate ways. Everything would end then and there would be no more happening later.
Chu Lan didn't say anything, and it was boring for Bai Xiyue to talk to herself. She felt like she was waiting to be roasted.
When the squid was grilled, Bai Xiyue took a big bite. It was spicy and fresh, and the squid was refreshing and chewy, with cumin, scallions and chili powder. It was a complete delight in one bite.
The fragrance filled his nose, but Chu Lan remained unmoved.
"Try it?"
Bai Xiyue took a skewer of lamb and held it in front of Chu Lan. Chu Lan shook his head, unmoved.
"It's no fun if you're like this. I'll just eat it myself. Why would I ask you to do anything? Just eat a bite."
Chu Lan frowned and took the kebab.
He took a tentative bite, his movements quite reserved.
After chewing and swallowing, he took the second bite silently.
At the large-scale "really delicious" scene, Bai Xiyue watched Chu Lan finish the mutton skewer, looked at the plate with restraint, and pushed it away.
"Did you hurt your hand?"
When Chu Lan stretched out his hand, there was a scratch on his wrist.
"I accidentally touched it."
Bai Xiyue touched her pocket and remembered that she still had the band-aid that Qiao Song had given her when she was injured downstairs in Qiao Song's building last time.
"childish."
Chu Lan commented as follows.
"Use them together. They're cute, aren't they?"
Bai Xiyue put the sponge baby on Chu Lan's wrist, blew gently on it, and patted both sides of the band-aid.
Chu Lan inexplicably engraved this scene in his heart. The girl's smile under the light was warm, but he felt a very strange and unfamiliar feeling in his heart, so sore that it almost hurt.
This memory, mixed with the aroma of food, melted into my mind.
When Chu Lan returned home, he saw his mother still waiting for him.
"Why are you back so late? What's wrong with your face? Did you have a fight?"
My mother's voice was a little sharp and shrill, and she frowned in displeasure.
"It's OK."
"It's okay. Did you have a fight with someone? Wait, what's that taste in your mouth? Why did you eat? Haven't I told you many times not to put anything dirty in your mouth? Luckily your dad is asleep, or he would have made you realize you were wrong if he saw you like this. Hurry up and brush your teeth, then write a letter of apology and put it in the living room before school tomorrow morning... Forget it, why go to school? If you go to school like this, people will point fingers at you. I'll ask for leave for you. You can go back when you're better. Study online at home for two days. I'll have your classmates bring your homework to you."
Chu Lan listened to his mother's chatter absentmindedly. When she finished, he went into the room and closed the door.
After washing up, Chu Lan looked at the smiling sponge baby in his hands and his eyelashes trembled.
In the past, he would think about the content of the exercises calmly, listening to his mother at the same time. Sometimes he would even write down the questions he had just thought of after returning to his room. But now, he suddenly longed to see that person.
It would be nice to have a barbecue together.
