Chapter 13
After the bell rang, the physics teacher stayed in class for a while before leaving. As soon as the teacher left, cheers of joy after school came out from Class 2. You asked me to go to the game hall to play arcade games, and I asked you to go to the milk tea shop to do homework. Students began to leave the classroom one after another.
Ji Rang stood at the corner of the corridor with a gloomy face. When other students saw him, they didn't dare to walk to his side and took a detour to go down the stairs on the other side.
Qi Ying hasn't come out yet. She's probably waiting for Yu Zhuo in the classroom.
He stared at the front door of the classroom, raised his foot several times, and then retracted it.
What on earth are you doing?!
Are you going to charge me with this? Why are you running away when you see me?
Explain the misunderstanding? There is nothing between Xue Manqing and me?
What was he doing, telling this to a dumb little girl who couldn't hear? He had nothing to do with her! He didn't even have her contact information!
It must be because I ate too many buns in the cafeteria at noon today!
He cursed himself for being an idiot in his heart, turned around with a sullen face and prepared to leave.
The half-open back door of the classroom was pushed open, and Qi Ying walked out with a schoolbag on her back, adjusting the shoulder straps as she walked.
Ji Rang was caught off guard and met her face. He was so unhappy that he didn't have time to look back and froze. When Qi Ying saw him, her eyes lit up and the smile on her lips was sweet, but the next moment, she didn't know what she thought of, and the feet that wanted to run to his side stopped again.
He was still smiling, but his emotions were hidden, revealing the timidity and caution he had when he first met me.
Ji Rang suddenly felt angry and annoyed, and said through gritted teeth: "Come here."
Qi Ying observed the general's expression and felt that he must be very angry.
Is it because I always disturb you for no reason?
She lowered her eyes sadly, thought for a while, and felt that it would be better for her to get out of his sight as soon as possible so as not to make him angry.
Then Ji Rang saw the little girl who always smiled sweetly, pursing her lips with tears in her eyes, and turned around and walked down silently.
Ji Rang stood there in a daze, his expression stiff and hard. He waited until Qi Ying reached the stairs before he finally reacted. He took a few steps forward with his long legs, rushed over and grabbed her wrist.
Qi Ying turned around and pursed her lips slightly, looking extremely aggrieved but trying hard to endure it.
His fingers were so tight that they were cold, and his throat seemed to be blocked: "I... I'm not being mean to you..." Ji Rang felt a throbbing pain in his temple, and bit his tongue fiercely. The pain made him feel less confused, and he asked in a muffled voice: "Can I take you to eat strawberry pudding?"
Qi Ying looked at him blankly.
He repeated four words: "Strawberry, pudding."
She finally understood, smiled, and nodded obediently.
…
This time we went to a different dessert shop, which was right at the back door of the school, next to the Qilixiang milk tea shop.
He ordered a strawberry pudding and was about to pay when Qi Ying stood beside him, looking down at the cute desserts of various colors and shapes in the glass display case.
I haven't tried any of them, but I want them all.
She felt that she had already eaten strawberry pudding last time, so she wanted to try a different flavor this time. She tugged at Ji Rang's clothes, pointed at the mango mousse she liked, and indicated that she wanted to change to this.
Ji Rang disagreed and looked at her fiercely: "Don't be indecisive, pick the one you like!" He stuffed the strawberry pudding into her hand: "Eat!"
Qi Ying was not angry, after all, strawberry pudding was delicious.
She finished it in two or three bites, took out some pocket money from her schoolbag, ran over, pointed at the piece of mango mousse, and motioned for the clerk to help her get it.
The clerk was about to go over, but Ji Rang, who was sitting at the seat, said gloomily, "Don't sell it to her."
Who doesn’t know Ji Rang?
The clerk didn't dare to disobey him and lied to Qi Ying: "This is reserved by another customer. We don't sell it."
She was a little disappointed. She held a twenty-dollar bill in her hand, looked left and right, then happily pointed at a piece of matcha cake and winked at the clerk.
Before the clerk could say anything, he heard the cold voice of the boss again: "Tell her that this store doesn't sell anything other than strawberry pudding."
Shop assistant: “…”
Boss, don't you feel guilty for bullying a deaf-mute like this?
Although he was complaining in his heart, he had to obey. The clerk conveyed Ji Rang's words with an apologetic and guilty look on his face.
Qi Ying was a little surprised to encounter such a situation, but she mentally assumed that this dessert shop was doing good business, so she walked back with the twenty yuan in her hand.
Ji Rang was playing with his cell phone. When he saw her sitting over, a smile appeared in his eyes, but he hid it in an instant.
Qi Ying supported her chin with both hands and looked at him for a while. Seeing that he didn't say anything and just leaned back in the chair playing with his mobile phone, she became a little confused. She took out her mobile phone and typed: What do you want me to do?
Ji Rang glanced at the screen, shifted uncomfortably, and changed his posture.
You can't say that I'm here to settle accounts with you, right?
He was silent for a while, and replied expressionlessly to Qi Ying's curious look: I want to do homework with you.
Qi Ying narrowed her eyes, happily took out the test paper she was going to do today from her schoolbag and spread it on the table, then looked at him expectantly.
After school every time, there would always be classmates who would ask her to go to a milk tea shop or coffee shop to do homework together. She had never been there with anyone before, and she didn’t expect that the first person to ask her out was the general!
Ji Rang: …………
He slowly pulled the bag over, opened it and took a look.
There was only a pack of cigarettes, a lighter, a charger, a half-drunk bottle of Coke, and a high school math book that was stuffed in there at some unknown time.
I could only take out that math book.
I opened it and saw that a few pages had been torn.
What the hell are sine and cosine functions? What the hell are cos/sin/tan/f(x)? Is this a math book or an English book?
The big guy who wanted to pretend to write a few questions didn't know where to start.
The key is that he doesn't have a pen either.
Qi Ying, who was sitting opposite, took out her pencil case, a pink cloth bag with a white long-eared rabbit embroidered on it. Even the pen she used was very well behaved, like a blue whale.
She wrote a few multiple-choice questions, and seeing Ji Rang still staring at the book in the same posture, she tilted her head curiously.
Ji Rang noticed her gaze and reached out to her with courage: "Borrow a pen."
Qi Ying suddenly realized and quickly pushed the pencil case over.
He opened the pencil case with two fingers, looked around, and picked out a pink whale cap gel pen.
Start writing and drawing in your brand new math book.
I drew a little girl with a ponytail and a strawberry. I wanted to draw a little girl eating a strawberry, but unfortunately my drawing skills were not good enough, so I had to give up.
When writing the fill-in-the-blank question, Qi Ying's phone on the table vibrated. It was Yu Zhuo who sent a message: Sister, where have you been? Didn't I tell you to wait for me in the classroom and not run around?
Qi Ying knew that he didn't like Ji Rang, so she didn't tell the truth: I want to drink milk tea at Qilixiang.
Yu Zhuo said: "Oh, then you wait there for me, I'll be right over. Buy me a cup of green milk tea, 70% sugar, and more boba."
Ji Rang's phone also rang. When he answered it, Qu Dazhuang shouted, "Brother Rang, the head teacher of Class 7 came over suddenly just now, and Yu Zhuo ran away. But I looked at the time and it's been half an hour, so I didn't chase him."
Ji Rang glanced at Qi Ying who was replying to the message and said coldly, "Got it."
After hanging up the phone, he saw Qi Ying writing on a draft book, and then handed the book to him to read.
The handwriting is beautiful and as cute as she is: My brother is here to pick me up, I'm leaving.
Ji Rang nodded lightly.
She wrote again: Can I do homework with you next time?
Ji Rang dug his own hole and jumped into it, pursing his lips and continuing to nod.
Qi Ying smiled sweetly at him and began to pack her schoolbag. He held the pink whale pen in his hand and did not return it to her, but stuffed it into his bag along with his math book.
After leaving the dessert shop, Qi Ying went to the Qilixiang shop next door to buy milk tea for Yu Zhuo.
After she showed the clerk her order, she looked back and saw that Ji Rang had already left. He had his schoolbag slung over his shoulder, his steps were lazily, and his school uniform was not properly worn, but his back was straight.
Qi Ying held a cup of hot milk tea and waved at his back.
…
It was the peak time for school dismissal, and the school gate was jammed with cars coming and going, all of them were parents picking up their children. Yu Zhuo rushed through the crowd with his schoolbag in hand, running towards Qilixiang.
The car horn at the intersection ahead was honking loudly.
There was a white Volkswagen parked on the main road, blocking the intersection. The owner, a middle-aged man, leaned out of the driver's seat and yelled at a small shop not far away: "Hurry up! How long does it take to buy a drink?"
The fat boy at the store entrance was paying for a bottle of soda, "Right away, right away."
The black car he blocked kept honking its horn.
Seeing that he didn't move, the front of the car turned right and drove through the electronic monitoring area. When it drove in front of him, the car window slowly lowered and a cold female voice came out: "If you don't know how to park, don't drive out and cause trouble on the road!"
The middle-aged man was embarrassed by her scolding and didn't say anything. He didn't say anything until the car drove forward. Then he spat out of the window and cursed: "You are the only one who knows how to park! They are all Volkswagens, what's so great about them?"
The car owner next to him who was blocked by him and was also very dissatisfied couldn't help but taunt him: "Don't make fun of me, buddy, that car is a Phaeton, I can buy ten of your cars with it."
Middle-aged man: “…”
Yu Zhuo was climbing over the railing beside the sidewalk, intending to take a shortcut, when he suddenly heard someone shouting from the side of the road: "Hey, kid."
He ignored it and just as he crossed one leg, the voice called out again: "The kid in the red Adidas."
Wearing red Adidas? Isn't this me?
Yu Zhuo turned his head and saw a black car parked on the side of the road. A beautiful girl with short hair was sitting in the driver's seat and waving at him.
Yu Zhuo hesitated and pointed at himself, and she nodded.
He glanced at his hurdle leg, silently retracted it, and coughed dryly: "Do we know each other?"
The short-haired girl smiled, with thin eyebrows and long eyes, exuding a cool and elegant taste, "We have met before. Do you know Ji Rang?"
Yu Zhuo became more and more puzzled and looked at her without saying anything.
She smiled again, turned around, took out an envelope from the passenger seat, and handed it out through the car window, "Could you please pass this to Ji Rang for me?"
Yu Zhuo frowned: "I'm not familiar with him, why don't you give it to him yourself?"
Ji Qian shrugged: "He blocked me."
Yu Zhuo was a little surprised. He looked at the envelope again and thought, damn, this can’t be a love letter?
Such a beautiful and cool young lady actually likes Ji Rang? ? ?
What the hell is this world?
Ji Qian was still smiling, and waved the letter in her hand towards him: "Little boy, do your sister a favor."
That smile is so beautiful that no boy can resist it.
Yu Zhuo took it and repeated, "First of all, I'd like to make it clear that I'm not familiar with him, so I may not be able to hand it to him. Even if I give it to him, he may not accept it."
Ji Qian smiled, "I understand," thanked him, started the car and drove away slowly.
Yu Zhuo looked down at the unsealed envelope, curled his lips, and stuffed it into his schoolbag. When he arrived at Qilixiang, Qi Ying was standing at the door holding a cup of milk tea, and waved when she saw him.
Yu Zhuo took the milk tea and took a sip, then complained to himself: "Why is it hot? I want to drink iced one." But since he had already bought it, he didn't plan to get another cup and took Qi Ying to take the bus.
After getting in the car, I sent a WeChat message to Qi Ying saying: Sister, let me tell you, that Ji Rang is definitely not a simple person.
Qi Ying: ...
Yu Zhuo told the story of a beautiful girl who asked him to pass on a love letter, and then said: He is simply a scumbag who plays with other people's emotions!
Qi Ying was a little angry: Maybe it’s something important, don’t make random guesses.
Yu Zhuo: Then why did he block people? Isn’t it because he doesn’t dare to face it?
Qi Ying: If you say that again, I will tell your uncle that you got into a fight again today.
Yu Zhuo: ???
Qi Ying pointed at his elbow.
There was some wall dust that he had bumped into when he had a conflict with Qu Dazhuang and the others in the classroom, and it even scratched his skin a little. Yu Zhuo was amazed at his sister's insight and kept silent.
When they got home, Wu Yinghua had already prepared dinner. She took the two children's school bags and asked them to wash their hands.
Yu Zhuo's schoolbag chain was only half-pulled, and while he was still lying on the bed, an envelope fell out of it.
Wu Yinghua picked it up curiously. The envelope was not sealed, so she opened it and took a look.
It's a photo.
A gentle-looking woman, holding a child about one or two years old, holding a Mickey Mouse balloon in her hand, smiling at the camera.
The date is printed in the bottom corner of the photo: taken in the millennium.
