Chapter 48
Qiu Yi raised his lips and said, "Well, there are special people coming today, so of course we have to work harder."
Several girls around looked at each other, and finally their eyes fell on Tao Luanxi.
Zhang Zhi couldn't stand it anymore and threw an empty water bottle over Qiu Yi's head: "Can you guys show off your affection in some occasions instead of forcing dog food on us singles?"
Xing Xing also came over to join in the fun: "Showing off your affection? Oh my god, Qiu Yi, when did you find someone?"
Zhang Zhi rolled his eyes, as if answering Xing Xing's question, but also as if he was saying to those girls who were fans of Qiu Yi: "Right over there, the one with the surname Tao, is Qiu Yi's wife."
Xing Xing burst out laughing, most of the water in his mouth sprayed out, and he was ridiculed by several people around him. Xing Xing gave Qiu Yi a thumbs up and said, "You are awesome. You have conquered even the top student."
Qiu Yi smiled and hooked Tao Luanxi's neck: "He was the one who took me down."
It was the first time that Tao Luanxi was so intimate with Qiu Yi in public. He glanced at the expressions of several girls calmly. They were all very excited. Tao Luanxi felt happy and just let Qiu Yi hug him like this. He didn't explain or refuse. Let these people think whatever they want!
After this incident, the rumors about the relationship between the two people, which had finally died down in the school, became hot again. This time, the attitudes of the two parties were completely different from the last time. They were neither angry nor defensive, and were not afraid of other people's gazes at all. They allowed others to speculate. The frequent inadvertent contact also added a lot of campus fun to the fujoshi comrades. For a while, almost everyone in Class A tacitly acknowledged that Tao Luanxi was Qiu Yi's "wife".
"Are you not angry?" Qiu Yi held a pen between his upper lip and leaned his head to look at Tao Luanxi, who was frowning and thinking hard on the other side of the table.
"Why are you angry? I had already thought about this day when I decided to confess." Tao Luanxi was obviously not in the mood to chat now, and her attention was all on the reflection book on the table.
"Have you finished writing your reflection?" Tao Luanxi had a headache, a real headache. He had been written about this before in his life. He was so passionate when he talked about it in the office. He couldn't write a single word when he was asked to organize it into 800 words. It was really difficult for someone who had been proud for 16 years to admit that he was not good at all. Tao Luanxi was going to take a look at Qiu Yi's reference.
Qiu Yi shook his head: "I just wrote the three words 'reflection book'. I'm going to look for the rest online."
"Can you find the right one? Won't Teacher Shen find out?"
Qiu Yi was not too sure: "Probably not."
Tao Luanxi frowned: "Did you copy everything you wrote before?"
"You make it sound like I'm obsessed with challenging school rules all day long," Qiu Yi laughed. "Like you, I'm also writing something like this for the first time, okay?"
"Really?" Tao Luanxi's eyes widened. In his impression, Qiu Yi was often late, left early, skipped classes and fought. He didn't know how many times he had been to the teacher's office, but he had never written a small reflection paper?
"There were some before, but I was too lazy to write them, and Shen Tan didn't really bother with me." Qiu Yi explained: "Who doesn't have the time to write about that?"
"..." Tao Luanxi lowered his head and looked at the paper on his desk.
Qiu Yi smiled and said, "Isn't this just to stay with you for a while longer?"
Tao Luanxi came to his senses. Originally, today was the weekend and he should have been reading at home. But Qiu Yi sent him a message saying that he had not started his reflection book yet. Tao Luanxi happened to have not written his own book either, so he made an appointment to go to Qiu Yi's house.
"So we're just going to write reflections this afternoon?"
After thinking it through, Tao Luanxi no longer wanted to write.
Qiu Yi raised his eyebrows: "What do you want to do?"
Tao Luanxi's eyes sparkled: "I saw a basketball in your room."
"oh."
"I saw a playground outside Wenxinyuan."
"kindness."
“I want to play basketball.”
Qiu Yi pretended to be embarrassed: "I practice at the court every day, and I really don't want to play in my free time."
Tao Luanxi puffed up her lips: "But I want to play."
"Well," Qiu Yi continued to play dumb: "Then go ahead!"
"Qiu! Yi!"
Qiu Yi laughed, stood up, weighed the table with both hands and moved to Tao Luanxi's side: "Call me brother, if I'm happy, I'll play with you."
Tao Luanxi glanced at him and said, "How much older are you than me? Why do you want me to call you brother?"
"Not much, just two years old, old enough for you to call me brother." Qiu Yi looked at Tao Luanxi with a smile: "I am eighteen this year."
Tao Luanxi then remembered that Qiu Yi seemed to be a student in the same class who was slightly older.
"Do you go to school so late?" Tao Luanxi was a little curious: "Otherwise, why are you older than us?"
Qiu Yi's expression changed slightly. After a brief silence, he uttered a "yeah" and smiled casually: "I was delayed at my mother's place for two years."
The word "delay" was used very subtly, implying that the wasted time in the past two years was not due to Qiu Yi's own will. Tao Luanxi pursed her lips, realizing that she had touched Qiu Yi's unknown wound again.
"Let's go, I'll take you to play basketball." Qiu Yi reached out and rubbed Tao Luanxi's head, then went into the room to look for the ball.
It was already past three o'clock, the sun was shining brightly outside, and there was no one on the basketball court. Tao Luanxi dribbled the ball to the basket, leaped forward and watched the ball fall straight into the basket. When it was about to fall in, a hand came across and blocked the ball outside the basket. Qiu Yi smiled at Tao Luanxi and said, "Since you want to play, I'll play seriously."
This was what Tao Luanxi meant originally, but after several attempts, he failed to score a goal due to Qiu Yi's obstruction, and his patience ran out.
Tao Luanxi was already a little out of breath, but Qiu Yi, on the other hand, was calm and collected. He stood under the basket with his hands on his hips, the corners of his lips always raised, with a hint of his usual ruffian spirit and the calmness of being at home.
"How come you have such good physical strength?" Tao Luanxi was unwilling to accept it: "Does your basketball team also do physical training?"
Qiu Yi nodded: "But the amount of training for the basketball team is nothing to me. So I usually don't participate in training."
This is clearly a blatant show-off!
Tao Luanxi felt a little regretful for asking Qiu Yi to be serious just now. He just wanted to score a goal now.
But it would be embarrassing to tell Qiu Yi that he regretted it now. Tao Luanxi held the ball in both hands and waited for Qiu Yi. After a while, the corners of his mouth curved up.
Tao Luanxi changed his attacking style this time. He dribbled the ball leisurely while walking to Qiu Yi's side. Qiu Yi knew that he was trying to play a trick, so he cooperated and stood still, waiting for Tao Luanxi to stand in front of him.
"What do you mean?" Qiu Yi raised his eyebrows.
Tao Luanxi smiled and blinked at Qiu Yi: "Brother, ask me to play basketball!"
The soft and sticky tone instantly made Qiu Yi feel half numb. Qiu Yi was stunned. He never expected Tao Luanxi to do such a thing. He was caught off guard.
"Is it okay?" Tao Luanxi tilted her head and looked at him, her deer-like eyes full of anticipation.
Qiu Yi clenched his fists, his expression flickering. Tao Luanxi really couldn't understand this expression. When she wanted to lower her head and call him brother, Qiu Yi pulled her into his arms.
The delicate skin on his neck felt like it was being kissed and bitten. Qiu Yi said in an unclear voice, "Okay, I'll give you my life."
