Chapter 33

The girl smiled and held out her hand: "I'm Mo Xiahan, please give me your guidance."

Tao Luanxi blinked. The girl in front of her was very beautiful, with long curly hair tied behind her head. She looked fresh and energetic.

Tao Luanxi never refuses a stranger's initiative to show goodwill, so she smiled and shook Mo Xiahan's hand: "Hello, I'm Tao Luanxi."

Mo Xiahan stared at Tao Luanxi's face, the look of scrutiny in his eyes was too obvious.

Tao Luanxi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, and said with a smile: "Is there something on my face?"

Mo Xiahan shook his head: "It is said that Qiu Yi and Tao Luanxi are the two most handsome boys in No. 1 Middle School. It is indeed true."

Tao Luanxi pursed her lips and smiled without saying anything.

"What a pity," Mo Xiahan shrugged with a bit of regret: "You are too delicate, not my type."

Tao Luanxi's smile almost broke. Delicate?! Is this word definitely not used to describe girls?

"I prefer Qiu Yi's more manly type. I heard you two have a good relationship."

Tao Luanxi somehow thought of the new basketball manager of the basketball team and Xing Xing's incoherent words.

Tao Luanxi held the biology materials in her hand tightly without leaving any trace: "Are you the new manager of the basketball team?"

Mo Xiahan's eyes suddenly lit up: "Qiu Yi told you? Did he mention me to you?"

"……no."

Mo Xiahan nodded, no disappointment in his eyes: "That's right, he doesn't even pay attention to me now, and I don't expect him to mention me in front of his friends."

Tao Luanxi frowned: "What do you mean?"

Mo Xiahan was a little surprised: "Didn't anyone tell you? I'm chasing Qiu Yi!"

During a biology experiment class, Tao Luanxi's mind was always wandering, but Mo Xiahan was happily chatting with the classmates in the class. She was beautiful and lively, so she was naturally very popular.

"Can I help you?"

When the work was almost over, Tao Luanxi was collecting experimental materials from each table. Mo Xiahan came over and enthusiastically expressed his desire to help.

Tao Luanxi turned her head to look at Mo Xiahan who was leaning over with her hands behind her back. For the first time, she couldn't smile at her classmate: "No need."

This sentence was so cold and harsh that Tao Luanxi was shocked when she said it. What was she doing? The students in the laboratory had not yet left. If someone heard this——

Tao Luanxi glanced at the students who were chatting and walking out behind him. Fortunately, no one was paying attention to this place.

Mo Xiahan leaned on the laboratory table, tilted his head and looked at Tao Luanxi's face, excited as if he had found a treasure: "It turns out that you have a temper. I heard others say that you have a very good personality. I thought you were a particularly boring person! I'm starting to like you a little bit."

“…”

Tao Luanxi felt like an arrow hit her knee. Damn, she was disliking this girl more and more!

Mo Xiahan leaned his hands on the table and complained as if he was talking to himself: "I have been pursuing Qiu Yi for several days but he ignored me. There is no classmate in the class who is particularly compatible with my temperament. I am so bored during this time in No. 1 Middle School."

Tao Luanxi pursed her lips as she collected the things, pretending that the person next to her was reciting sutras.

"You don't dislike me, do you?" Tao Luanxi turned to another table, and Mo Xiahan followed closely.

How dare you ask?!

Tao Luanxi raised a half-hearted smile at the corner of his mouth: "Not really."

Mo Xiahan nodded: "But Qiu Yi seems to like you very much. I heard that many girls in No. 1 Middle School are supporting the two of you."

“I guess so!”

Mo Xiahan smiled and said, "What was that guy like when he was with you? When Qiu Yi was on the basketball team, he was always very cold and he would find it troublesome to say one more word to him."

Tao Luanxi paused while holding the experimental slide, and turned to look at Mo Xiahan with some confusion: "You don't mind that the person you like likes boys?"

"I don't mind. Isn't it normal for gay couples to form couples these days? Even if Qiu Yi and I are in a relationship in the future, it won't prevent you from having a good relationship with him. You two are not real anyway."

"How do you know it's not?"

"...Ah?" Mo Xiahan was stunned. Tao Luanxi answered so quickly that she didn't know how to react for a moment.

"You must be kidding, are you really gay?" Mo Xiahan laughed twice, as if he heard a joke.

Tao Luanxi held the glass slide tightly in his hand. After a long silence, Tao Luanxi lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "No, I was joking."

Tao Luanxi couldn't explain the feeling in his heart, because Qiu Yi was always by his side, which really made him ignore some things. Even if Qiu Yi liked him, as long as this guy was single, there would be someone chasing after him. In other words, with Qiu Yi's conditions, there was no shortage of suitors.

Walking through the corridor from the experimental building back to the teaching building for the first year of high school, a group of teenagers in red basketball uniforms walked past in the distance, and one of them waved to Tao Luanxi.

Tao Luanxi seemed to have seen it, but his mind was thinking about other things. He did not react for a long time. He just lowered his eyes quietly and walked his own way.

The boy in red clothes broke away from the team and ran towards Tao Luanxi. The man's face became clearer and clearer in his sight, and he was in front of him in a few seconds.

Qiu Yi grabbed Tao Luanxi's hand and raised it to his face, frowning and staring at his fingertips carefully: "How did you get hurt?"

Tao Luanxi finally realized that she had cut her finger at some point, and blood was oozing out. It was winter, and her fingers were frozen so cold that she didn't feel any pain, but there were dried blood stains on many parts of her hands.

Tao Luanxi blinked and came to his senses, then he recognized who was in front of him.

"Maybe it was scratched by a slide in the lab just now."

Qiu Yi carefully looked at the size of the wound, frowned and said, "Let's go to the infirmary to clean it up."

Tao Luanxi didn't think much and let Qiu Yi lead him towards the infirmary.

The wind was a bit cold today. Tao Luanxi shrank his neck and glanced sideways at Qiu Yi. He had sharp eyebrows and a high nose bridge, and he was indeed very manly.

Tao Luanxi had always been jealous of Qiu Yi's appearance, with sharp edges and a tough look. Unlike him, his round face did not change at all even during puberty when his body was undergoing rapid growth.

Normally he was just sour, but today he added a lot of unpleasant flavors for no apparent reason.

The leaves of the evergreen trees outside rustled in the cold wind. Tao Luanxi sniffed and asked, "Is your team's basketball manager called Mo Xiahan?"

"You know?" Qiu Yi was slightly surprised: "Xing Xing told you?"

Tao Luanxi shook his head: "I ran into Mo Xiahan in the lab today."

Qiu Yi was stunned for a moment, then he leaned over and complained impatiently in a low voice: "This woman is really omnipresent."

"She told me she was pursuing you."

Qiu Yi frowned slightly: "I have never paid any attention to her."

Tao Luanxi was a little disappointed. In his imagination, Qiu Yi should look at him with a sly smile and ask him if he was jealous, so that he could answer her. He really was a little jealous. If he went a little deeper, maybe he would have a chance to make Qiu Yi a little colder towards the girl and make Mo Xiahan back off.

But Qiu Yi doesn't have the opportunity that Tao Luanxi has.

In the infirmary, the teacher took out medicine to clean Tao Luanxi's wound. Qiu Yi was standing next to him. Tao Luanxi looked up at him and reminded him in a low voice: "Why don't you go first? Isn't the team waiting for you?"

"I'll accompany you." Qiu Yi sat down next to Tao Luanxi, staring at the fingers that were applying medicine on Tao Luanxi.

The infirmary teacher smiled and said, "Hey, you are here to supervise my work? If you two were not boys, I would have considered whether to report you two to your class teacher for being in a premature relationship."

"Go ahead!" Qiu Yi said nonchalantly, "Shen Tan's hair has been falling out badly recently. You can make him bald, and then you can save money on shampoo in the future."

The school doctor was amused and said angrily, "It's no wonder that your teacher Shen is losing his hair after meeting a student like you. If he has time to come and sit with me, I'll have to get him a bottle of hair growth potion."

The school doctor laughed as he spoke, and his hand shook, so the cotton swab dipped in medicine poked directly into Tao Luanxi's wound, causing Tao Luanxi to tense up.

"Does it hurt?" Qiu Yi immediately leaned over to take a look at Tao Luanxi's wound. Fortunately, there was no bleeding again. Qiu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, but still turned his head and glanced coldly at the school doctor.

"It was just a poke. Boys can't stand the pain. Okay, okay, anyway, you guys always scold me for my poor skills. Why don't you do it yourself?"

Qiu Yi really took the medicine from the school doctor, found a cotton swab, picked up Tao Luanxi's finger, and carefully dipped the medicine on the edge of the wound. After applying the medicine and carefully covering the wound with a Band-Aid, Qiu Yi reminded: "Don't get wet in the next few days, and change the Band-Aid every once in a while."

The school doctor watched with great interest, looking like he was eating melons. Finally, he smiled at Qiu Yi and said, "You have a natural talent for being a doctor."

Qiu Yi pretended not to hear and squeezed the potion and placed it on the table.

"Thank you, I'm leaving!"

Because of his injured hand, Mo Xiahan took the initiative to do some chores as a teaching assistant for Tao Luanxi in the laboratory. Over time, he became familiar to the teacher and became half a teaching assistant, and spent more time in contact with Tao Luanxi.

Mo Xiahan obviously treated Tao Luanxi as someone to complain to. Whenever there was no one around before or after class, he would always tell him about his pursuit of Qiu Yi, how he couldn't get his phone number, and finally bribed his friend to get his phone number, and then sent him a message, but Qiu Yi not only didn't reply, he also blocked him directly and so on.

After hearing so much, Tao Luanxi actually began to admire this girl. She had been rejected so many times, both openly and secretly, but she was still happy to keep banging her head against the wall.

Mo Xiahan herself didn't care: "After all, he is a handsome man of the male god level. It's normal that he is hard to pursue. I didn't expect to succeed right away. Water dripping wears away a stone. Who knows, maybe one day this guy will find out about my good side?"

Tao Luanxi didn't want to talk to her about this topic at all, and said coldly: "So, why are you telling me this?"

Mo Xiahan looked puzzled: "Isn't it obvious enough? I want to be friends with you!"

The author has something to say: Student Mo tried desperately to bang his head against Qiu Yi’s south wall, but he never expected that the wall was actually curved!
