Chapter 171 My childhood sweetheart can’t be a fool! (7)
Qi Ye lived next to Bai Yao’s house. To be honest, Bai Yao looked through the iron gate and saw that the house was covered with weeds. It looked like it had been abandoned for a long time. She couldn’t tell that anyone lived there.
Qi Ye stood at the door of his house, staring at her.
Bai Yao said to him, “See you tomorrow.”
She turned around and went back to her own house.
When she was out of sight, Qi Ye withdrew his gaze, pushed open the iron gate and walked into his own house.
He walked through the weed-covered yard, pushed open the unlocked door, and walked into the dim living room.
A figure was sitting on the sofa, motionless, as if he had fallen asleep.
Qi Ye sat in the corner of the sofa, impatiently took off his schoolbag, and took out a piece of melted ice from it.
He was missing two front teeth, and it took him a while to bite open the bag, then he bit a hole in the crushed ice, put it in his mouth and took a big sip of the sweet taste.
Although it tastes best when it is cold, he is very satisfied with having a snack. He
can always see the figure next to him out of the corner of his eye, which is really an eyesore.
He stretched out his foot and kicked the person next to him, and the figure tilted and rolled to the ground.
Qi Ye sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, leaning against the back of the sofa comfortably, finally feeling comfortable. He bit the crushed ice in his mouth, with a look of comfort and ease on his face.
There was not much homework for the third grade, so Bai Yao finished it in no time. It was not dark yet, and Bai Yu and his wife got home from work. Bai Yu hurried to the kitchen to cook, while Wen Wan asked Bai Yao with great interest how he was doing in school.
Bai Yao had nothing to say, so he could only perfunctorily say, "The teacher praised me today ."
Wen Wan covered her face and screamed, "Oh my God, Yaoyao is so great!"
Bai Yao: "..."
Wen Wan shouted to the kitchen, "Yaoyao Dad, did you hear that our daughter was praised by the teacher today!"
Bai Yu half popped out of the kitchen, "I heard it! Yaoyao is so great! Today is such a good day, Yaoyao, Dad will make chicken legs for you!"
Bai Yao: "..."
Really, are this young couple too exaggerated?
The next day was Saturday, and because the experimental base had just started working, Bai Yu and his wife had to work overtime to observe the data.
Bai Yao was called up early in the morning. She sat sleepily in front of the pink dressing table, and Wen Wan was braiding her hair in the back.
Wen Wan always liked to watch short videos on dressing up her daughter on the Internet after work, especially learning various braiding techniques. Her braiding skills can be said to be first-class.
Today she tied two low ponytails for Bai Yao, and the hair on both sides was braided into three strands and then tied into small balls behind the head. Finally, red headbands were tied on both sides of the ball.
Paired with the burgundy navy collar dress she wore today, coupled with her occasionally revealed arrogant expression, she was so arrogant that she looked down on others.
But Wen Wan is a brainless daughter control. She held her face and said excitedly: "My daughter is so cute!"
Bai Yao looked at herself in the mirror. She pinched her chubby face and was not very satisfied with the fact that she still had baby fat.
Bai Yu came to the door of the room, "Breakfast is ready, come down and eat."
Bai Yao stood up from the chair by Wen Wan's hand, and the next second she heard Bai Yu's casual mention.
Bai Yu: "I just went outside to take out the garbage, and saw the kid next door standing outside our iron gate and staring at us. I greeted him but he ignored me. It was really a bit scary. Yaoyao, you have to be careful at school and don't get too close to him."
Bai Yao remembered something, she pushed open the glass door and went to the balcony, and saw the boy standing below at a glance.
He was still wearing the same school uniform from yesterday, not even changing his shoes, but all his clothes were wet, and his hair, which always looked like a bird's nest, had become much softer, with water still dripping from the ends.
Feeling Bai Yao's gaze, he raised his head and looked at her straight.
Bai Yao forgot yesterday that today was Saturday, so she said to him, "See you tomorrow." He wouldn't have waited here all the time just because of her words, right?
She looked at the boy who looked like a drowned puppy below, and she felt that her conscience was rarely condemned.
Bai Yao went back and said to her parents, "I don't want to go to the workplace with you guys to play, I want to stay home and watch TV."
Bai Yu and his wife looked at each other, not understanding why Bai Yao had changed her mind.
But it's not like this had never happened before, and the place where they worked was indeed boring for children.
Bai Yu prepared lunch in advance, and they only needed to heat it up in the microwave. They also prepared fruits and snacks. As usual, they told Bai Yao not to go out to play, and to call them if anything happened.
Bai Yao nodded obediently.
When Bai Yu and his wife left, they also locked the iron gate. Bai Yao had the tendency to be a stay-at-home girl at a young age. She could stay at home for a month during the summer vacation. However, in order to prevent her from forgetting to lock the door, they would lock the door every time before going out.
Bai Yao ran to the iron gate. She didn't have a key and couldn't open the door. She could only look at the boy outside through the iron gate, "Qi Ye!"
He ran quickly to her, leaving a wet footprint with every step forward.
Bai Yao asked him: "Did you fall into the water? Why are you all wet?"
He tilted his head, his long eyelashes trembled slightly with rain mist, his eyes were confused, and a few drops of water fell from the ends of his hair that were slightly against his face.
Unlike before, there was no so much dirty dust on his face now, but his original wheat-colored skin could be seen. That was natural, he went crazy outside every day, how could he not be dark?
Nothing could be seen from his black pants, but his white shirt and the pair of white shoes on his feet were soaked in water, and the dirty marks were smudged, making them look even dirtier.
Qi Ye raised his hand and wiped the water marks on his face, looking a little dazed.
Bai Yao suddenly asked: "Did you go to take a shower?"
He nodded.
Bai Yao was stunned for a moment.
After she bought him some crushed ice yesterday, she did tell him to wash it thoroughly. She knew he was a wild child, but she never thought he would do what she said so simply and crudely.
He looked like this, not like he was taking a shower, but like he had fallen into water!
The wind blew, and a strand of hair stuck to his eyes.
Qi Ye shook his head like a drowned dog, and his small body trembled, with water droplets flying everywhere, and several drops of water splashed on Bai Yao.
Bai Yao held back her temper, wiped the water off her face, and told him: "You will get sick if you wear wet clothes, go back and change into clean clothes."
Qi Ye's clean and bright eyes were full of confusion.
Bai Yao didn't know whether he didn't understand what she said, or because he didn't have clean clothes.
