Chapter 146 Complaining about Qi'an with Qingyan
"Wait, is your home far from here? Is someone coming to pick you up today? Do you want me to take you home?"
Qi'an's voice broke the silence, and a rare hint of concern appeared in his eyes.
Xia Yueke seemed to have a sensitive nerve touched, and her head immediately shook from side to side like a rattle.
She thought to herself: Let Qi'an take me back? Wouldn't that mean I would have to endure his cold aura all the way?
"My home is nearby. I'll be there in a short walk. Don't worry about me!"
Her tone unconsciously rose a few degrees, and there was a determination in her words, but there was a hint of panic in her eyes, as if she was afraid that Qi An would see through her lies.
After saying that, she hugged her stationery tightly, turned around and left in a hurry, her steps a little hurried, as if she wanted to escape from this embarrassing situation as soon as possible.
Qi'an was slightly startled, and a hint of imperceptible doubt flashed in his eyes. The gaze that had originally softened slightly due to concern instantly returned to its usual coldness.
The corners of his mouth curled down slightly, the amplitude was very small, but it also revealed the subtle emotional fluctuations in his heart.
After a moment's silence, he nodded gently, then slowly turned around. His tall figure seemed somewhat lonely in the afterglow, with only his clothes fluttering gently in the breeze.
Xia Yueke was thinking about taking the opportunity to go shopping when she returned home alone, so she walked out of the stone house quickly without looking back.
When she reached the school gate, she was surprised to find Qing Yan sitting there quietly.
His dark green hair, like a deep forest, was casually scattered on his shoulders. A few strands of hair were gently lifted by the breeze, just like elves dancing in the darkness.
His eyes were like shining rubies, with a faint halo in the afterglow of the setting sun. Under his high nose bridge, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and his angular face looked cold in the interweaving of light and shadow.
He was so lost in his own thoughts that he was oblivious to his surroundings and had no idea how long he had been sitting there.
Xia Yueke crouched down and slowly and quietly approached Qing Yan.
At this moment, Qing Yan was sitting there alone, muttering to himself:
"Bad guy, Qi'an, I want to eat him!"
The voice, tinged with anger and dissatisfaction, echoed softly at the quiet school entrance.
Xia Yuke happened to hear these resentful words clearly. She was stunned at first, and then quickly covered her mouth with her hands, trying to stop the laughter that was about to burst out.
But that smile was like a flood that broke through the dam and could not be stopped, and his shoulders kept shaking slightly.
Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer and pounced on Qing Yan.
He hugged Qingyan's neck tightly with both hands and shouted excitedly:
"Hahahaha, Qingyan, I heard it!"
Qingyan was originally immersed in his own mumbling and resentment, and a hint of annoyance towards Qi'an still flickered in his dark green eyes.
Suddenly, Xia Yueke's crisp and undisguised laughter exploded in his ears, and his body stiffened instantly.
The head, which was originally slightly lowered, suddenly raised up, and a trace of panic and embarrassment flashed in the eyes, just like a cub that was suddenly disturbed.
The dark green hair swayed slightly due to the sudden movement, and a few strands of hair slid across his handsome face.
When Xia Yueke pounced on him, his hands subconsciously wanted to catch her, but he seemed a little overwhelmed by this unexpected situation, and finally just wrapped his arms around Xia Yueke's body.
A blush quickly appeared on his cheeks, and the blush slowly spread from the tips of his ears to his entire face, contrasting with his dark green hair and bright red eyes, creating a unique sense of shyness and cuteness.
He opened his mouth, his thin lips slightly parted, as if he wanted to say something. After a brief pause, his voice slowly flowed out with a hint of imperceptible expectation:
"Come home, Yue, I've prepared dinner and will be waiting for you."
Xia Yueke nodded happily, her soft hair swaying gently.
Then, she stretched out her fair and slender little hand, tightly grasped Qingyan's broad and warm big hand, exerted a little force, and stood up with Qingyan.
The two figures were stretched out in the afterglow of the setting sun.
However, the two people who were immersed in their own world did not notice at all. Qi An hesitated in the house for a long time, and the faint worry in his heart grew like a vine.
He walked out of the stone house slowly with steady and slightly hesitant steps.
His deep gaze quickly swept across the school entrance and the surroundings, his expression revealing concern and uneasiness. A few strands of hair on his forehead were gently blown by the breeze, but it did not disturb his focused gaze on finding someone.
When he saw the backs of Xia Yueke and Qing Yan walking away hand in hand, his steps paused unconsciously. The tall figure cast a slightly lonely outline in the afterglow of the setting sun.
After a long time, he turned around silently and walked slowly back to the stone house, leaving behind only a desolate back stretched by the setting sun.
After returning home, Xia Yueke quickly had dinner with Qing Yan.
After dinner, Qing Yan reached out his hand with anticipation, wanting to take Xia Yuke for a walk in the yard.
The yard was not big, but it was kept in good order by Qing Yan. Several unknown flowers and plants emitted a faint fragrance in the night.
However, Xia Yueke seemed to suddenly remember something important. He turned around and walked quickly to the wooden cabinet beside him, took out animal skin paper and animal hair brush, then sat down at the table and began to write seriously.
Qing Yan was stunned for a moment. His eyes, which were originally full of expectation, instantly turned into confusion. He stood there blankly looking at Xia Yueke.
After a moment, he slowly walked to Xia Yueke's side and watched her write stroke by stroke quietly.
His eyes followed the pen in Xia Yueke's hand, and his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was trying to understand why she was suddenly so focused on writing.
Time passed little by little, and Qing Yan, who had originally thought that Xia Yueke would be able to finish it quickly, gradually lost his patience.
He paced back and forth in the house, and his steady footsteps were particularly clear in the silent room.
Every few steps, he would stop and look at Xia Yueke who was still concentrating on writing, with more and more doubt in his eyes.
Finally, he couldn't hold back his curiosity and impatience anymore and asked:
"Yue, what are you doing? When will it be done?"
Xia Yueke still didn't raise his head, nor did he stop writing. He just responded casually:
"I don't know, it might take a while. I've discovered that writing ugly characters is the hardest part. Before, anything I wrote looked good, but now I have to think about how to make it look ugly!"
When Qing Yan heard this, his eyes widened, and anger instantly ignited in his dark eyes, "Qian'an! Qi'an! Bad guy!"
His voice, filled with obvious anger and dissatisfaction, echoed in the room.
Xia Yueke heard Qing Yan so excited, and quickly stopped writing. He raised his head, with a soothing look in his eyes:
"Okay, Qingyan, this is just a normal task assignment!"
