☆, Chapter 27
Anyway, she went back to get a photo for Xiu Yangui. She didn't expect that after she came back in this life, many things had changed, but this one thing remained unchanged. Xiu Yangui asked for her photo just like he did in his previous life.
Because the final exams were over, Xi Mo fulfilled her promise to treat him to a meal, and the two went to a famous Cantonese restaurant near the school for dinner.
Xiu Yangui sat in the chair and kept looking at his mobile phone. It is no exaggeration to say that after getting Xi Mo's photo, he clicked on it and looked at it no less than a hundred times.
Now Xi Mo was sitting opposite him, and he still wanted to look at that photo. While looking at it, he thought, how could it be so beautiful? It was exactly what he liked.
Xiu Yangui watched and smiled secretly, his heart aroused.
With a "ding" sound, a pop-up message window appeared. Although it did not affect his viewing of the photos, Xiu Yangui was still unhappy for a moment. He clicked it and found that it was Mianmian again.
She has been insisting on sending him a friend request. She has not given up even though Xiu Yangui has ignored her for so long, it has been a month.
It is said that when a girl pursues a boy, it is easy for him to win her over. Mianmian probably thinks so too, and she is very confident in herself.
If she hadn't dropped out of school to become a professional player, her grades would definitely be very good, and she might be a student at a top university now.
No one could dislike her.
But Xiu Yangui is an exception. Her fans are very resourceful and actually found a photo of Xiu Yangui. Although it is a bit blurry, he is definitely a handsome guy.
She had also asked around and found out that Xiu Yangui was indeed a top student, but he loved to play and had flirtations with many girls in the school.
Just like the playboy protagonists in romance novels who are loved and hated by people, Mianmian is no exception and she also likes this type.
It's okay to be playful and flirtatious. She also thinks that if she can make Aquaman change his mind, it means she has the ability.
But Xiu Yangui ignored her completely. Not only did he not agree to her friend request, he couldn't even add her as a game friend, so she couldn't show her strength.
Xiu Yangui was disappointed by the harasser. He didn't know why Mianmian had so many numbers. He blocked one and another came. As a professional player, he was treated like this and yet he showed up again. Didn't he have any pride or self-esteem?
"What's wrong?"
Xi Mo saw Xiu Yangui frowning.
Xiu Yangui originally wanted to say "nothing", but he was obsessed with testing Xi Mo.
"That Mianmian, she keeps trying to add me as her friend. Maybe she wants to pick me up."
To Xiu Yangui's disappointment, Xi Mo's expression didn't change at all, she didn't even blink, as if she didn't care at all that he was being hit on or flirted with by others.
Xiu Yangui was suddenly deflated and began to feel annoyed about what he was doing and what a childish trick he was playing.
He laughed at himself. Xi Mo was a little special to him, wasn't it just because they grew up together? Did he really think Xi Mo could have some feelings for him? Don't be so funny, Xiu Yangui. It was impossible to think that Xi Mo had any possessiveness towards him.
Xiu Yangui severely reprimanded himself and told himself to calm down. They were now just ordinary friends with a good relationship.
But the more Xiu Yangui thought about it, the sadder he felt. Xi Mo didn't care about him at all. What was the point of him provoking her like this? It would only break his heart.
Xi Mo glanced at the dejected Xiu Yangui and asked, "Are you unhappy?"
Xiu Yangui sighed. Even so, he was still moved by Xi Mo who cared about him.
"No, the food is just a little hard to pick up."
Hearing this, Xi Mo took the serving chopsticks and picked up a full bowl of dishes for Xiu Yangui. She picked up all four dishes and placed them in front of Xiu Yangui. "I can pick them up. Here you go."
Xiu Yangui felt both amused and touched, and his heart felt both sour and sweet.
Did Xi Mo think that he couldn't use chopsticks? He picked up all the food for him. It was really thoughtful of him. But I have to say that Xi Mo is very good at using chopsticks.
I like it very much.
Xiu Yangui felt both sad and excited while eating this meal, and his heart was beating fast.
Very good, this deadly feeling suits him best.
Xi Mo had no idea what this late-stage middle school student was up to, so after dinner, they slowly walked back.
Xiu Yangui remembered something, "Is anyone from your family coming to the parents' meeting the day after tomorrow?"
Xi Mo shook her head. "No, my parents can't make it back. They won't be back until the Chinese New Year."
"Oh," Xiu Yangui was relieved to see that Xi Mo didn't seem sad, "It's okay, I don't have parents either."
"Hey, let's run away and go to the movies. You treat me to dinner today, and I'll treat you to a movie the day after tomorrow. How about that?"
It seemed like it was a sudden idea of Xiu Yangui. Only he himself knew how much effort he had put in to be able to say this sentence fluently.
"Okay, let's escape and go to the movies."
Usually, Xiu Yangui didn't dare to disturb Xi Mo's studies, nor would he take her to skip classes. After all, it was a parent-teacher meeting, so it didn't matter whether she was there or not.
"Okay, when the time is almost up, I'll call you and we'll sneak out the back door and then climb over the wall."
Xiu Yangui was a little excited and couldn't stop talking. "It's very easy to flip. It's okay if your hands are weak. I'll hold you up from below. Once you sit on the wall, I'll flip first and then catch you from below. It's very safe."
Seeing that Xiu Yangui had thought of such detailed details, Xi Mo had nothing else to say, "Okay."
Xiu Yangui jumped two steps unconsciously, smiled at Xi Mo, and then concentrated on walking.
"Okay, see you tomorrow. Good night, Xi Momo."
"See you tomorrow. Good night."
After saying goodbye to Xiu Yangui, closing the door, and turning on the light in the entrance hall out of habit, Xi Mo did not take another step forward. She stretched out her hand and pressed it on her chest, feeling the violently beating heart under her hand, and her palm was numb from the shock.
Maybe it wasn't the heart that was shaking, maybe it wasn't just the palms that were numb.
After the parent-teacher meeting in the afternoon, the school officially started its winter vacation. On the last afternoon at school, everyone stayed in school obediently, waiting to leave with their parents.
But two figures, one tall and one short, appeared in the empty campus. The tall one skillfully crossed the path, took the arm of the shorter one, and led her away from the surveillance cameras and passing teachers.
The two of them came to the wall of that blind spot in the school. Xiu Yangui caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye and subconsciously shouted, "Fuck! Why is there still someone doing this here?"
"What?"
Xiu Yangui quickly covered Xi Mo's eyes and said, "Don't look at what is inappropriate. Don't look at what is inappropriate."
"Xi Momo, you can't look at this."
Xi Mo stood there obediently and let him cover her eyes. Xiu Yangui found that his hands could completely cover her face.
Just now, when he suddenly reached out his hand, Xi Mo did not step back or move a step, and seemed to trust him very much.
Xiu Yangui let go of his hand and moved closer to her, directing her vision to the other side. "Just look straight ahead. I'll push you up, and you sit on the horizontal bar first. When I flip over, you jump down. I'm sure I can catch you, okay?"
"OK."
"Okay, step on my thigh."
Xi Mo was a quick learner. She understood immediately what Xiu Yangui taught her. "Very good, that's it. Very good, Xi Momo."
Because I was wearing a thick coat, I couldn't move freely, but the clothes could protect my body to a certain extent and prevent me from being scratched by the edge of the wall.
Xi Mo felt that she was not able to exert any strength and wanted to take off her gloves, but Xiu Yangui stopped her: "Don't take them off. You have done a good job. Don't worry."
Xi Mo frowned, but she still wanted to pick it, "I can't use my strength, and I will keep stepping on you."
The process of them climbing over the wall was that Xiu Yangui first laid the foundation, and Xi Mo stepped completely on his thighs. Then Xiu Yangui grabbed Xi Mo's waist and abdomen, pushed her up, and then supported Xi Mo's body with his arms and lifted her up. After Xi Mo reached the top of the wall, Xiu Yangui climbed over.
But now they were stuck because Xi Mo was wearing gloves and couldn't use any strength, so she couldn't climb up.
Xiu Yangui didn't mind being a human cushion, "I can handle it."
"Take your time, don't rush, and don't fall."
It took some time, and after Xi Mo sat firmly on it, Xiu Yangui climbed up easily by climbing up the support point in front. He and Xi Mo made eye contact for a moment, and the next second Xiu Yangui flipped down and landed steadily, showing the advantage of his long arms and legs to the fullest.
Xiu Yangui dusted himself off and opened his arms to Xi Mo. His embrace looked very warm. "Come on, I'll catch you."
Xi Mo adjusted her sitting position, startling Xiu Yangui below her. "No, no, no!"
Xi Mo paused, "What's wrong?"
"Don't move, it makes me nervous."
He didn't even try to hide it and spoke frankly about his feelings. The young man's high-spirited face was full of worry, and his delicate and charming peach blossom eyes were full of helplessness.
He thought climbing over the wall was a very simple thing. Even someone like him who was afraid of heights could climb up and down easily as if it were a piece of cake.
But he completely underestimated the importance of Xi Mo to himself. When he thought that Xi Mo might have an accident, he even lost his breathing.
It turns out that Xi Mo is more suitable to stay in the priceless porcelain, living a safe and stable life.
He shouldn't have dragged Xi Mo into this risk.
Xi Mo didn't know what Xiu Yangui was thinking, so she decided to just go for it. "I jumped."
"You, you, you..."
Xiu Yangui raised his head and stared at Xi Mo intently. He was very nervous now. "Okay, jump, jump, I will definitely catch you."
Xi Mo estimated her height from the ground without a trace of panic. Even if she fell, she would at most suffer a fracture, which would not endanger her life.
But if she was really hurt, Xiu Yangui would probably cry. His eyes were already red.
Xiu Yangui, who was waiting anxiously below, seemed to see Xi Mo smile, but before he had time to think about it, Xi Mo jumped towards him.
He held his breath, concentrated all his attention, and hugged her tightly.
Xiu Yangui protected her and took two steps back. Only then did his face regain color and he held her tightly without letting go.
"You scared me to death! Why so sudden? You're going to scare me to death."
"You did it on purpose! You just wanted to scare me to death!"
"I didn't mean it." Xi Mo buried her head in his collar, her voice muffled but with a smile.
"You're lying! I saw you laugh, and I hear you laugh now. It's pissing me off!"
Xiu Yangui was so angry that he hugged her and swung her twice. Xi Mo was swung like a piece of cloth. She was a little dazed, and suddenly laughed out loud.
Xiu Yangui saw that he could not scare Xi Mo, and even made her laugh. Listening to Xi Mo's laughter, he could not get angry at all, "Really, it's ruined, completely ruined."
"Forget it, let's go to the movies."
After putting Xi Mo down, her coat was stained by the dust on the wall. Xiu Yangui brushed off the dirty spot and walked forward holding Xi Mo's hat.
With her hat pulled to her cheek, Xi Mo glanced sideways at Xiu Yangui who was walking in front of her. "Are we still going to climb over the wall when we return to school?"
Xi Mo didn't know that she was adding fuel to the fire.
"Climb over the wall!" Xiu Yangui exploded. "You're still thinking about climbing over the wall? Don't you want your legs anymore?"
"If you don't want it, donate it! Don't break it in front of me."
Xi Mo thought for a while, "The legs won't break."
"Not yet! How can you be sure, Xi Mo, how can you be sure?"
Xiu Yangui looked really angry, angry that Xi Mo didn't put her own safety first. As he spoke, he started to bring up old things.
"Don't talk about that. You were moving around when you were sitting on it just now!"
"It's so high up, you can't move around freely, okay? What if you fall and hit your head?"
"You can't just jump around! You have to adjust it. What if you get hurt?"
Xiu Yangui's tone was very harsh. Xi Mo had never been scolded like this by him before. "I jumped because you were down there."
"No one down there can do that!"
"You should pay attention yourself, otherwise you will die waiting for others to remind you!"
"I can protect you this time, but what about next time? And later? If you don't take it seriously, no one can help you!"
Xiu Yangui let go of the hand that was pulling Xi Mo's hat and walked forward angrily, "I'm so angry, so angry, so angry..."
After walking for more than ten steps, he found that Xi Mo had not caught up with him. Xiu Yangui frowned and turned his head to look. Xi Mo was just standing there staring at him.
Xiu Yangui walked back with big strides, "You want to piss me off to death! Why don't you catch up?"
"Just now you wanted to fall to your death, now you want to get yourself lost, right?"
"Wait a minute, you're going to cross the road. Do you want to get hit by a car?"
Xi Mo, who had originally had no reaction and just looked at him, began to cry silently, just like the little Xi Mo more than ten years ago.
No matter how much she grows up, she is still the same Xi Mo.
Xiu Yangui was suddenly deflated and didn't care whether he was angry or not.
"…sorry."
"Stop crying, please."
He is still the same Xiu Yangui, his apologies are so stiff, and his imperative sentences sound like orders.
Xi Mo's eyes and nose were red, and she looked at him pitifully, and the tears that kept flowing told him: "Not good."
She was not angry when he said that, nor did she turn around and leave. She just looked at him and cried silently.
Xiu Yangui wanted to slap himself. He regretted it. There were obviously many ways to let Xi Mo know the importance of safety, but he chose the wrong way.
"I'm sorry, Xi Mo."
"I was just too worried. I was wrong. There won't be a next time. I will change. I will change."
Xiu Yangui carefully wiped the warm tears from Xi Mo's cheeks and was surprised by the coolness of her skin.
It looked like it had been frozen for a long time, but he hadn't noticed it.
"Are you cold, Xi Momo?"
"Why don't you go back? It's too cold, isn't it? I'm sorry, I asked you to climb over the wall and then scolded you."
