Chapter 3

The first grade classroom of No. 1 Middle School is on the west side of the campus, facing the basketball court. When Tao Luanxi went to the Youth League branch to deliver materials, he saw Qiu Yi playing basketball from a distance.

There were a lot of people on the basketball court, and the most conspicuous person at first glance was Qiu Yi.

Sweat dripped from his wet temples, and the boy wiped it off with the front of his T-shirt without caring, revealing a casual masculine aura. Qiu Yi stretched out his long arms to block the opponent's attack. Although the distance was far, the strong muscles on the boy's arms could still be seen.

Tao Luanxi looked down at his slender white arms, then silently rolled up his shirt sleeves and buttoned them up.

I'm not sour at all.

Tao Luanxi sniffed and knocked on the door of the teacher's office.

After putting the things away, Tao Luanxi smiled politely at the teacher and said, "Goodbye, teacher."

"Oh, by the way, I have something here for you to bring to Qiu Yi later!" The teacher took out a stack of information from the drawer: "Qiu Yi is playing basketball right now, just down the road from where you left."

Tao Luanxi paused. Since that day, Qiu Yi really didn't mention what happened that day. However, Tao Luanxi still felt a little awkward with him, so she tried to reduce contact with him as much as possible, maintaining a classmate relationship where "I know nothing about him except his name."

"What's wrong?" The teacher noticed his hesitation and looked up at him.

"Teacher, can't you just go back and give it to him yourself?" Tao Luanxi wanted to struggle again.

The teacher looked at Tao Luanxi's expression and smiled knowingly: "Hey! Is there any friction between classmates? I know that boy Qiu Yi! He is not interested in people but in things! You two are both good seedlings of this year. It will be good for your future if you build a good relationship now."

The teacher handed the information to Tao Luanxi and said, "Do me a favor and have a good chat with Qiu Yi. They are both men, what's the problem?"

Tao Luanxi reluctantly took the information and nodded in the teacher's expectant eyes: "Okay!"

"That's right!"

Bullshit!

Tao Luanxi slowly moved to the entrance of the basketball court with the information in her arms. Yan Hai was leaning against the protective net, gulping down water.

"Hey, Tao Luanxi!"

While Tao Luanxi was still hesitating, Yan Hai saw him first and immediately greeted him warmly.

"For fun?"

"No," Tao Luanxi waved her hand: "The teacher asked me to give something to...Qiu Yi."

"Oh, looking for Qiu Yi," Yan Hai turned around and shouted, "Qiu Yi, someone is looking for you!"

Qiu Yi was holding the ball in his hand and preparing to shoot. He turned around when he heard the sound and was surprised to see Tao Luanxi. The next second, Qiu Yi threw the ball to his teammate, quickly ran to the edge of the defensive net, and looked Tao Luanxi in the eye.

Qiu Yi was panting, and the heat from his body as he ran over brushed against Tao Luanxi's face.

Tao Luanxi tilted her head slightly, placing the information between Qiu Yi and herself: "The teacher asked me to bring it to you."

Qiu Yi nodded: "Come in!"

"No." Tao Luanxi rolled up the information and tried to pass it to him through the gap in the protective net.

then,

It's stuck.

…

The paper roll can only be stuffed in halfway, which is the limit. The outermost pages have already curled up and deformed, and the friction with the protective net makes a sharp squeaking sound.

"Let go of the paper!"

After Tao Luanxi struggled for a long time without success, Qiu Yi uttered these words in a low voice.

Tao Luanxi was too embarrassed to look up. Qiu Yi stretched out his fingers and pushed the paper roll out from inside: "Come in and talk."

Tao Luanxi had no choice but to walk to the entrance of the basketball court with his head down and hand the information to Qiu Yi.

Qiu Yi took it and flipped through a few pages, then glanced at Tao Luanxi, who was standing outside the court and was determined not to step into the court. Qiu Yi closed the file and stuffed the rolled-up paper into Tao Luanxi's hand.

"Help me get it."

Tao Luanxi hurriedly tried to stop: "I want to go home, I don't have time."

"Then wait for me for a moment."

Why should I wait for you! ?

Tao Luanxi glared at him, the meaning in her eyes was self-evident.

Qiu Yi raised a wicked smile and asked, "Where did you buy that pink clip?"

The sound was a bit loud and immediately attracted the attention of several people around.

Tao Luanxi's ears immediately turned red, and she stared at Qiu Yi for a long time without saying a word.

Qiu Yi touched Tao Luanxi's hair soothingly: "Wait for me, it will be quick!"

Could Tao Luanxi say no? After all, the other party had the upper hand over him!

FXXK!

Qiu Yi ran back and greeted the teenagers. After a few joking shoves, Qiu Yi picked up his things and walked over: "Let's go!"

Tao Luanxi handed the things to Qiu Yi stiffly, and his meaning was very clear: You asked me to wait and I waited! I have to leave now!

Qiu Yi was not in a hurry at all. He gently pushed Tao Luanxi's shoulders twice and whispered, "Don't worry, walk with me for a while."

Tao Luanxi pursed her lips and exhaled muffledly, her voice low and threatening: "Don't forget that I have leverage over you, too."

Qiu Yi raised his eyebrows, then chuckled again, nodding as he laughed: "Go ahead and tell me!"

The meaning is clearer. I don't want this face anymore. What can you do to me?

Tao Luanxi wanted to save face, but she couldn't do anything to him.

He could only accompany Qiu Yi to the supermarket angrily. Qiu Yi opened the freezer and took out a bottle of sports drink. He turned his head and looked at Tao Luanxi who was staring at him: "What do you want to drink?"

"No need." He just wanted to go home quickly.

Qiu Yi nodded, took a bottle of Wangzai from the shelf and put it into Tao Luanxi's hand.

Tao Luanxi frowned: "I don't drink milk."

After leaving the supermarket, Qiu Yi was drinking a drink with his neck tilted back. His Adam's apple was rolling when he heard Tao Luanxi's words. Qiu Yi handed the half-drunk drink to Tao Luanxi and said, "Then you drink this?"

Tao Luanxi gave Qiu Yi a meaningful look.

Qiu Yi smiled and said, "Do you dislike me?"

Now you know it!

Tao Luanxi held the milk in her hand without saying anything. The grinning little man on the carton was mistaken for someone's face and was deformed by Tao Luanxi's pinch.

“…Not bad.”

Fake.

Qiu Yi only glanced at Tao Luanxi who was destroying the milk with her head down. I don't know what he was cursing me in his heart at this moment!

But since the other party said it was okay, Qiu Yi also nodded, pretending not to understand Tao Luanxi's thoughts.

"Let's study together in the evening. If I have questions, I can ask you for help."

Qiu Yi secretly hopes to spend more time with Tao Luanxi, and this sentence also has a flattering meaning. Based on his understanding of Tao Luanxi in the past two days, Qiu Yi thinks that he should like such words.

However, some words also depend on the person.

The top student in the class smiled and said to the perennial No. 2 student, "I don't think I'd ask you if I have a question."

The second brother froze, and his first reaction was that he was being laughed at.

Tao Luanxi turned around and glared at Qiu Yi. Qiu Yi obviously didn't expect this reaction. He was a little confused and said, "What? Did I... say something wrong?"

"Hmph!" Tao Luanxi was furious. He threw the milk carton at Qiu Yi's chest and turned away.

The sharp corner of the paper box had been softened by someone, so it didn't hurt much when it hit his chest. Qiu Yi held the milk that still had Tao Luanxi's body temperature, and realized belatedly that Tao Luanxi must have misunderstood.

Qiu Yi sighed, the little deer is a little hard to please!

After putting the milk in his schoolbag, Qiu Yi walked slowly on the road with his hands in his trouser pockets. There was a junior high school nearby, and there were children in school uniforms chatting together on the roadside.

"Qiu Yi?!"

Qiu Yi turned around and a half-grown girl rushed towards him excitedly: "You are Qiu Yi, right? The school hunk from No. 1 Middle School? Sure enough, you are much more handsome in person than in the photo."

Qiu Yi has heard such words countless times over the years and has long lost interest in them. In addition, he had an unpleasant experience with Tao Luanxi today, so he has no intention of dealing with these girls.

The girl was not shy and smiled as she shook her phone: "I quite like you. Can we change our contact information?"

Qiu Yi glanced at her indifferently and started to leave.

"Hey!" The girl took a half step forward to block Qiu Yi's way, her face looked a little unhappy: "We are just making friends, there is no need to ignore me like that!"

"Little sister, we don't even know each other, right? Why should I care about you?"

The words were spoken coldly. Qiu Yi was not usually like this. He was really in a bad mood today.

The girl was suddenly pushed back like that, her face immediately fell, and she snorted coldly: "So you are this kind of person, my brother is right, how can a guy like you be the school hunk?"

Qiu Yi frowned and asked, "Who is your brother?"

The girl puffed out her chest: "Tao Luanxi!"

???

Tao Luanxi returned home angrily, locked the bedroom door, hugged the pillow and repeatedly rubbed his face as if it were Qiu Yi's. After a while, she still felt unsatisfied. In the corner of the closet, there was a piglet doll that Tao's mother had received from a patient. Tao's mother immediately threw it to Tao Luanxi. Tao Luanxi thought it was too ugly, so she stuffed it in the closet and let it gather dust.

Tao Luanxi got out of bed, pulled out the puppet and looked at it for a few seconds, then took out a marker from the pen holder on the desk and wrote the four characters "Evil Mind Qiu Yi" on the piglet's face. He pointed at the piglet's nose and said angrily, "Are you laughing at me? I must get first place in the exam to show you!"

The phone rang, Tao Luanxi picked it up and saw it was Gu Xiaoxiao.

"Hello? Speak up!"

"Brother, you are right. A guy like Qiu Yi is not worthy of being compared with you! The girls in No. 1 Middle School must have been naive to choose him as the school hunk!"

“…”

Although Tao Luanxi thought so, she always felt something was wrong when these words came out of Gu Xiaoxiao's mouth.

"What's wrong with you?"

Gu Xiaoxiao was even angrier than Tao Luanxi: "I said I liked him, and I was ruthlessly rejected!"

"!!! Gu Xiaoxiao, have you gone crazy doing your homework?"

"I feel like my girlish heart has been trampled on, I want revenge on society!"

"...Gu Xiaoxiao, calm down first!"

"No matter what, brother, I will stand on your side from now on. Qiu Yi is my enemy! Don't you always want to step on his head once? How about I help you?"

"...You should go to bed early. What can you do as a junior high school student?"

"I'm serious!"

Tao Luanxi had a dark face and didn't know how to persuade this angry cousin, so she could only nod vaguely and said, "Okay, come on!"

After hanging up the phone, Tao Luanxi turned around and looked at the "idiot Qiu Yi" lying on the bed, frowning and whispering, "You have so many enemies."

After saying that, Tao Luanxi picked up the doll and prepared to throw it away, but when he looked at the words on the pig's face, he somehow threw it into the drawer of the desk.

That night, after Tao Luanxi fell asleep, a new post quietly appeared on the homepage of a campus forum in City C.

The author has something to say: Xiao Jiwen: The protagonist (bushi) is finally online!
