Chapter 17
Yang Duole was sitting at the head of the bed playing mobile games. When he saw Lin Qinhe coming in, he quickly hid his phone under the quilt and complained, "Brother Qinhe, why did you come back so late today?"
Lin Qinhe didn't answer him. He set up the table next to the bed, put the dinner plate on the table, and said, "Eat your meal."
Yang Duole frowned: "I feel uncomfortable and can't eat."
Luo Zhengyin came several times before and asked him to eat, but he just didn't want to eat, and Luo Zhengyin couldn't do anything about it.
"Why do you feel uncomfortable?" Lin Qinhe asked him.
Yang Duole was silent for a while, then said, "I saw Yang Zhengming's new lover again. In order to please me, she came to school this afternoon to give me something. Brother Qinhe, that woman looks very much like my mother. I feel so sick that I want to vomit."
Lin Qinhe looked at him without saying anything.
Yang Duole knew that Lin Qinhe would never talk to him about Fang Sui, and he also felt that Lin Qinhe did not like his mother, but he felt uncomfortable and wanted to vent:
"Now I feel uncomfortable when I see someone who looks like my mother. You know, when I first met Tao Xi, I was wondering how there could be someone who looks so much like my mother, especially her eyes. They were so similar. I suddenly remembered a dream I had before, in which I dreamed that I was not my mother's child and you all left me and abandoned me."
Yang Duole's eyes were red at the end of his speech. Although his grandparents and Mother Luo seldom mentioned his mother in front of him, he always knew that they would be disappointed that he was not like Fang Hui. Not only did he not look like Fang Hui, he also did not have Fang Hui's talent for painting and writing.
He also once wanted to study painting hard. When his teacher asked him about his dream when he was a child, he always said that he wanted to become a painter like his mother.
But he really didn't have the talent, and later he simply stopped painting out of spite. They didn't blame him, but even coaxed him.
But he still felt bad.
Yang Duole looked up at Lin Qinhe and said, "Brother Qinhe, every time I see you talking to Tao Xi, I think of that dream and I can't help but feel uncomfortable."
He hoped that Lin Qinhe could say something to comfort him, but he heard Lin Qinhe calmly say: "You can't make yourself uncomfortable just because of a dream, and be hostile to someone who has never hurt you."
Yang Duole was stunned. He was so sad, but Lin Qinhe was so indifferent. He couldn't help but slam the table angrily, and the chopsticks in the plate rolled around. He shouted:
"But it was Tao Xi who was hostile to me first! Brother Qin He, we grew up together, and you've only known him for a few days and you're already speaking in his favor!"
He didn't know why he was so wary of Tao Xi. It seemed like an instinct, a self-protection instinct, as if this person meant danger to him.
He clearly felt that Lin Qinhe treated Tao Xi a little differently, which made him inexplicably nervous and panicked, as if it was a foreshadowing that something was about to be taken away from him.
Lin Qinhe frowned, and his voice suddenly became deep: "Yang Duole."
Yang Duole was stunned. He knew that whenever Lin Qinhe called him by his full name, it meant that he was really angry.
And he was afraid of an angry Lin Qinhe.
Yang Duole had no choice but to lower his head and remain silent awkwardly.
"Eat first. You're already grown up. Your mother definitely doesn't want you to be like this."
Lin Qinhe picked up the chopsticks from the plate and handed them to Yang Duole. Just like every time he dealt with Yang Duole who was angry, as long as he mentioned his mother Fang Sui, Yang Duole would most likely obey.
Yang Duole silently took the chopsticks from Lin Qinhe, lowered his head and started eating.
He can be willful, but he cannot let down his mother who gave her life to give birth to him.
Lin Qinhe watched him eat a few bites before turning around and walking out the door. Luo Zhengyin was standing quietly outside and was relieved to see Yang Duole eating.
The mother and son left Yang Duole's room silently. When they reached the living room, Luo Zhengyin asked, "What happened to Tao Xi? Why does Lele hate him so much?"
She only listened half way and didn't hear what Yang Duole said first.
Lin Qinhe knew that Luo Zhengyin had eavesdropped, and said perfunctorily, "Nothing." He paused, and said in a deeper tone, "Are you going to spoil him like this until he grows up?"
Except in front of him, Yang Duole did almost whatever he wanted, and when he threw a tantrum, the two families had to coax him back and forth.
Luo Zhengyin was stunned for a moment, then sighed, "He's in poor health, and he's been without a mother and father since he was a child... It's better not to have one. We should always love him a little and treat him better."
Lin Qinhe frowned, not wanting to listen to the same words that had been said countless times.
Before going to bed at night, Tao Xi kept thinking about how to be nice to Lin Qinhe. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was useless.
Lin Qinhe lacks nothing, but I lack everything.
He thought maybe he should ask someone who knew something about this.
The next day, a seat in the class suddenly became vacant. Tao Xi heard people talking and found out that Jiang Xinyu seemed to be transferring to another school for unknown reasons. Chen Yachun and Zhang Mengtong were criticized and punished by school leaders.
In fact, those three people came to apologize to me yesterday, but Tao Xi did not accept it.
He is not an open-minded person.
Tao Xi didn't take it to heart. All he had in his mind were studies and Lin Qinhe, and Lin Qinhe was more important than studies.
"Do you need help getting some water?" Tao Xi glanced at Lin Qinhe's cup, which had only half a cup of water left, during the morning break and asked with a blink of her eyes.
"Need not."
"oh."
Tao Xi picked up Lin Qinhe's water cup and walked towards the drinking room without looking back.
He discovered that Lin Qinhe often just habitually denied it, not that he really didn't want to.
Tao Xi filled Lin Qinhe's cup with water and returned to her seat. She placed it on Lin Qinhe's desk and said with a smile, "You're welcome."
“……”Lin Qinhe lowered his head and turned a page of the book.
Tao Xi looked at Lin Qinhe, but fell into deep thought again.
Is it that my only role is that of a useless fellow who fetches water?
It was impossible for him to gossip with Lin Qinhe during class, and he and Lin Qinhe went different ways after school. What's more, there was always the annoying Yang Duole by Lin Qinhe's side.
study? He himself needed to be tutored by Lin Qinhe.
Life? He himself is a target of poverty alleviation.
Tao Xi rested his head on his arm, tilted his head and stared at Lin Qinhe's profile in a daze. He thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out what he could do for Lin Qinhe.
He decided to find someone to ask, and just as he was about to look away, he suddenly noticed that the tip of Lin Qinhe's ears seemed a little red?
The heat in September is indeed quite severe, but there is air conditioning in the classroom.
Tao Xi thought about it, and asked sympathetically: "Do you need me to lower the air conditioner temperature a little bit? You seem a little hot."
As a result, Lin Qinhe said nothing, but stood up and walked out of the classroom.
Tao Xi was stunned, not knowing what happened to Lin Qinhe.
With an eager attitude to learn, the first person he looked for was Bi Chengfei, whom he was most familiar with.
"How to be nice to someone? It's easy. Help her with her English homework, buy her ice cream in the summer and hot milk tea in the winter, play basketball to make her happy, and pour her a cup of hot water when she feels sick..."
Bi Chengfei kept on sharing his experience of pursuing Jin Jing, without realizing that this experience was not successful.
Tao Xi thought that he must have had his brain stuck in the door for asking Bi Chengfei.
After the club activities on Sunday, Tao Xi packed up his painting supplies and prepared to leave, but was stopped by Qiao Yitang: "Junior, let's have lunch together at noon."
Tao Xi looked at Qiao Yitang's smiling face, and the strange feeling in his heart came up again. He always felt that Qiao Yitang looked at him like a medical student looking at a little white mouse, full of indescribable desire for research.
He remembered the self-criticism he had given to Lin Qinhe, and immediately refused solemnly: "I ate very casually at noon, you will definitely not be used to it, senior sister."
Qiao Yitang did not give up, and patiently persuaded him, "I am also very casual about what I eat, I can eat rice noodles or noodles. Don't be nervous, it's just that it is a tradition of our club for the president to have a heart-to-heart talk with the members. You didn't come to the last club dinner, so I must make it up to you."
Tao Xi was still hesitant, and heard Qiao Yitang's self-promotion: "If you have anything you don't understand, you can ask me, senior sister, about study, life, and even personal emotions. I can satisfy you with these questions."
Tao Xi was moved.
He did have very important questions to ask, and he felt relieved that Qiao Yitong was not from his class.
In a cheap roadside noodle shop, Qiao Yitang ate a few vermicelli, put down his chopsticks, stretched out his two palms, counted his fingers, and said leisurely:
"You've found the right person for this question. I've had ten boyfriends since elementary school. My current boyfriend is a sophomore at Wenhua University Medical School."
Tao Xi was a little confused. He just asked how to be nice to someone. Why did Qiao Yitang ask her boyfriend?
Seeing Tao Xi's blank expression, Qiao Yitang thought that this silly child had not yet fallen in love, so he directly said, "You have someone you like, and you want to pursue her, right?"
Tao Xi was stunned.
That’s right, he followed Lin Qinhe all the way here from Qingshui County because he liked her.
"Yes, I want someone." Tao Xi said with a firm tone and a determined look in his eyes.
The vermicelli on Qiao Yitang's chopsticks fell into the bowl. She looked at Tao Xi in shock, thinking that maybe she had seen it wrong.
Wanting someone, this sentence sounded... too explicit no matter how you listened to it, and even a bit pornographic if you thought about it that way. And the person who said this actually asked her such a childish question with an innocent look on his face, how to be nice to someone.
Qiao Yitang considered it for a moment and asked, "What kind of person is she?"
Tao Xi held the bowl of noodles, her eyes sparkling: "He is very outstanding, has excellent grades, is very good-looking, is very kind to others, is kind and has a sense of justice. There is no better person in the world than him!"
Qiao Yitang was touched by the light in Tao Xi's eyes. She had never experienced the passionate love of putting the one she loved at the top of her heart and being willing to give everything for him/her from her ten boyfriends. She couldn't help but say sourly, "There is no perfect person in the world."
"No, he is the perfect person." Tao Xi retorted.
Qiao Yitang choked and said, "It's hard to pursue someone like this. If she's really as good as you say, there must be a lot of people who like her."
The light in Tao Xi's eyes dimmed, and she said, "That's right, and he has a very cold personality and doesn't like to talk. I don't know how to get closer to him."
He paused, as if he had thought of something, and his tone became even more lost: "Besides, he has a very good friend."
Qiao Yitang asked doubtfully, "What does her having a friend have to do with you pursuing her?"
Tao Xi was stunned. It was difficult for him to explain this to Qiao Yitang, so he said frankly: "They have such a good relationship. I can't help but be jealous of that friend."
Qiao Yitang was confused again. How could someone be jealous of his lover's best friend?
She thought for a moment and said, "Why should you be jealous? When you like someone, you want to fall in love with her, kiss her, make love with her, and even get married in the end. Friends are just friends. If you are really together, she will only belong to you, and no matter how good your friend is, she can't enter your world of two people."
Tao Xi was completely stunned.
Fall in love, kiss, make love, get married...
He had never thought about these things, let alone thought, nor dared to think, that the object of these things could be Lin Qinhe.
He just ran towards Lin Qinhe clumsily, wanting to enter Lin Qinhe's world and stand beside Lin Qinhe.
But he never thought that he could own Lin Qinhe privately.
Can Lin Qinhe belong to him alone?
Just thinking about this idea for a moment, Tao Xi felt as if she was floating in the air, and the whole world began to sparkle.
Then he couldn't help but imagine him and Lin Qinhe doing these things, but he didn't dare to think about it after just thinking about the beginning, and his whole face began to get red.
Qiao Yitang looked at the boy in front of her with amusement. His cheeks were slightly pink and his eyes were moist. She wondered which lucky girl had made such a pretty boy so obsessed with her. She inexplicably felt a sense of vicissitudes of life as if her youth had passed away. She sighed and said:
"If you've figured it out, just listen to me. I'll tell you how to pursue her."
That day, Tao Xi learned a lot in the noodle shop and set a grand goal.
He wants to pursue Lin Qinhe and fall in love with her.
First, he needed to buy a mobile phone and download WeChat as Qiao Yitang said.
On this day, Qiao Yitang also reaped the gossip with satisfaction. She opened WeChat on her phone and typed in an input box:
"Your deskmate has a crush on someone. She seems to be a cool girl with excellent grades but doesn't like to talk. Is there a girl like this in your class?"
