Chapter 525 Milk Tea is So Sweet
Bai Qingxia shook her head vigorously and suddenly burst into tears again: "I'm sorry, Lu Yuanqiu... Hu Caiwei also told you that she was not ready at the beginning and asked you to wait. I am telling you the same thing now and asking you to wait too."
"You must be very sad, very sad... It's all my fault. I wish I could be like a normal girl. I really envy those ordinary families, but I can't even meet the requirements of an ordinary family..."
She had just finished crying, and now she started crying again. Her choked voice was heartbreaking. Lu Yuanqiu looked at the red nose on her snow-white face and felt very sad, because at this time, Bai Qingxia was most concerned about his feelings?
There may be thousands of kind girls in the world, but none of them is as precious as the one next to me. Lu Yuanqiu is willing to give his life for her.
He opened his arms and hugged Bai Qingxia, rubbing her back and comforting her: "I'm not uncomfortable, you think I'm too fragile, and how can Hu Caiwei compare to you? You are a thousand times better than her. You are responsible for me, and you just want to present a better you to me..."
"I'm not that good. I'm a deadbeat."
"Hey, I just like stubborn people."
Bai Qingxia blinked her tearful eyes, and her panic-stricken mood was slightly relieved by Lu Yuanqiu's words. She saw that her classmates were all looking at them with the same gaze, so she reached out and separated herself from Lu Yuanqiu.
Chi Caocao had already run over at this time. She was holding a sword and smiling happily at Bai Qingxia, but then her smile froze when she saw Bai Qingxia's tear-stained face.
Lu Yuanqiu saw Chi Caocao turned around and looked at him. The little girl threw away her sword, then swung her two little fists at him without saying a word, making angry cries with a tearful tone.
"You made her cry again! I hate you! I hate you!"
Bai Qingxia hurriedly stepped forward to stop Chi Caocao and explained: "It has nothing to do with him. It's me. It's my fault..."
Chi Caocao turned to look at Bai Qingxia, sizing her up seriously. With red eyes, she raised her fingers to wipe the tears from Bai Qingxia's eyes and said comfortingly, "Don't be sad... be happy."
Bai Qingxia forced a smile on her face and nodded slightly.
She raised her head and glanced at Lu Yuanqiu with a complicated expression. She raised her arm to wipe her face, then took Chi Caocao's hand and walked away in one direction: "I'll take you to practice sword."
"good."
Lu Yuanqiu watched the broken sisters leave and let out a long breath.
Today is the second day of the second month in the lunar calendar, the day when the dragon raises its head.
After dinner, Lu Yuanqiu walked into the barber shop on campus. He went in with a smile on his face and came out with a stiff expression.
He looked at the moon that had already emerged from the clouds above his head, sighed, and suddenly missed the barber girl outside his house.
When passing by the Xia Yiwan Noodle Restaurant, Lu Yuanqiu paused, thinking that Bai Qingxia should have returned to the dormitory by now, so he did not go in and went straight back to his own dormitory.
"Xiao Qiu, what happened to Xiao Xia today?"
The uncle asked while mopping the floor in the dormitory.
"Ah? She... is fine, quite normal." Lu Yuanqiu sat on the stool and responded evasively.
The uncle raised his head, leaning on the mop with both hands: "She worked very hard today. We all got off work, but she was still busy. She is probably still cooking noodles in the restaurant and hasn't gone home yet."
Lu Yuanqiu recalled the scene in which he had just paused at the door of the restaurant. Was Bai Qingxia also inside at that time?
The uncle continued, "And tonight he said he was planning to print more flyers and expand the meal delivery business to three more campuses. Isn't that a bit too much business?"
"What did she say?" Lu Yuanqiu was a little surprised.
The uncle nodded: "Well, did she have trouble at home and need money? I saw her crying today..."
Lu Yuanqiu shook his head: "No, no, no, no..."
He thought for a moment and then said, "Uncle, please keep an eye on her for me. Tell me whatever she plans to do."
"Aren't you two on good terms? Why do you need me to pass on your message?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuanqiu withdrew his gaze and smiled bitterly.
This girl has endless energy to work hard, but she won't tell me because I would feel bad and would stop her.
The Taoist priest was reading a book and poked his head out from the bed: "Uncle, why do you care so much? Just do whatever Lu Yuanqiu asks you to do. We have our own way of getting along."
"Okay, okay." The uncle nodded quickly.
He gave Lu Yuanqiu a strange look and continued mopping the floor.
Starting from the next day, except for class time, Lu Yuanqiu found that the places where he could see Bai Qingxia were almost always in the bustling restaurants.
This girl is busy as if her life is worthless.
Lu Yuanqiu felt distressed but did not try to dissuade her. Anyone could persuade Bai Qingxia at this time, but it would definitely not be him.
Because Bai Qingxia is working hard just for him, Lu Yuanqiu's advice will only backfire, but Lu Yuanqiu doesn't know to what extent she has to work hard before she can be satisfied.
In the evening, Lu Yuanqiu stood at the door of the restaurant and still saw Bai Qingxia as the only one left in Xia Yiwan Noodles' shop, bending over and busying herself.
Seeing her carrying the noodles towards other customers in the restaurant, Lu Yuanqiu quickly opened the door of the restaurant and secretly placed a cup of hot milk tea on the counter of Xia Yiwan Noodles. He carefully observed Bai Qingxia's figure, and after placing the milk tea, he hurried out of the restaurant without being noticed by the other party.
Bai Qingxia returned to the counter and was raising her hand to lift her falling hair. When she turned her head, she suddenly saw the cup of milk tea on the counter.
She picked up her apron and wiped her hands, then turned her head and looked around, but saw no one. However, there seemed to be a note under the milk tea, so Bai Qingxia pulled it out and held it in front of her.
[Lu Yuanqiu Special]
This is Lu Yuanqiu's handwriting.
Bai Qingxia suddenly smiled, then pursed her lips, and the smile slowly faded.
She held the hot milk tea in her hands and sat on the floor with her back against the counter in the shop.
The whole restaurant was very quiet, with only a few scattered customers and the "Xia Yiwan Noodles" sign still lit.
Bai Qingxia bent her legs and drank milk tea in small sips, looking ahead with unfocused eyes. The fine beads of sweat oozing from her forehead gradually gathered into beads of sweat and slid down. Bai Qingxia raised her hand to wipe it, wiping away both the sweat and the falling tears.
If... She sat there thinking quietly, without coming up with any follow-up, but just repeated "if" vaguely in her mind.
There is no if in the world, only the inescapable reality and a stubborn girl.
The milk tea is so sweet... Bai Qingxia hugged her legs behind the counter and quietly raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes.
