Chapter 379: Evil (8)
Zhan Qi dragged himself back home slowly.
His father had also returned by then and was sitting at the table eating, praising the girl's cooking skills. Seeing this, Zhan Qi secretly clenched his hands into fists.
Zhan Hao noticed him.
This is the first time I see my son come home so early.
Although he looked unhappy, he still asked Zhan Qi to come over and sit down to eat. Zhan Qi sat away silently, and Zhan Hao immediately became angry and was about to explode. Seeing that the atmosphere between father and son had reached a freezing point again, Qiao Xi hurried out to smooth things over.
"Uncle, have this. This dish is better."
Zhan Hao then turned his gaze over.
As if to show mercy and give Qiao Xi a little face, he picked up the dish and put it into his mouth. He frowned for a long time before giving a good evaluation.
Zhan Qi watched from the side.
I find this so-called fatherly authority he maintains really funny.
The three of them had dinner in silence.
Qiao Xi also cleaned up the dishes and took them into the kitchen as before, while Zhan Qi returned to his room and locked the door. His stepfather watched TV, and the noisy sound from the TV filled the living room.
Qiao Xi finished cleaning the kitchen.
She went to knock gently on Zhan Qi's door. The boy heard the noise, unlocked the door and opened it for her, looking at her with hostile eyes.
"I'll give you some tutoring."
Qiao Xi walked straight around him and entered the room. Zhan Qi frowned slightly, but still didn't say anything. He closed the door again when she came in.
Completely isolate the noisy sounds from the living room outside.
It's a lot quieter.
This was also Qiao Xi's first time in Zhan Qi's room. In addition to the bed, wardrobe and desk, the boys' room also had some fitness equipment, basketballs, tennis rackets and boxing gloves.
There are sandbags hanging on the other side.
Their family conditions are indeed not very good.
But basically, whatever Zhan Qi wanted would be satisfied, but it was only in exchange for repeated beatings. His father was stingy, but he was not really penniless, he was just a miser.
I still have some small savings.
But his father usually gambled or bought alcohol with it, and it would be gone in no time. Then he would save some, and then spend it all again.
Qiao Xi looked at the textbook on his desk.
It's basically brand new, probably hasn't been seen much.
She sighed slightly, sat down on the bed next to the desk, took out her textbook and opened it: "Where did your class go?"
"have no idea."
Zhan Qi watched her flipping through the pages indifferently.
He had never heard of it, so how could he know where it was taught? Occasionally, he was there in the afternoon, and when he heard the class, he didn't really want to stay.
He came in fits and starts.
I listened to it sporadically and only had a vague understanding of it. I managed to get more than 50 points based on what I heard sporadically.
Even someone like him who skips classes and is late every day can still get more than 50 points in the exam.
It’s not bad at all.
"Then I'll tell you from the beginning."
Qiao Xi didn't know how Zhan Qi was progressing, so she could only cram him in from now on to lay a solid foundation first.
She pulled out her notebook.
She gathered her thoughts and began to explain the questions to the boy seriously, with the cap of her ballpoint pen touching the knowledge points. Zhan Qi stood by, watching her serious and focused profile as he listened to the girl's explanation.
The time spent concentrating and immersing yourself in studying passes quickly.
Wait until this section is over.
Qiao Xi looked at the time on the alarm clock on the table and realized that she should take a shower and go back to her room.
"That's all for today. You can digest it."
She closed her notebook, stood up and prepared to turn around and leave. Zhan Qi, who had always been very well-behaved, had deep and dark eyes and a calm tone when he saw her stand up to leave.
"Come back a little later, I have another question for you."
Qiao Xi, who had already walked to the door with her back to him, didn't notice anything unusual and responded casually, "Okay."
The door is closed.
Zhan Qi closed his eyes to hide the dark emotions in them.
Yan Shen has not taken any action yet.
There is no plan to change the target. If he is really interested in Qiao Xi, he will definitely check the girl's background. This is troublesome, but if Qiao Xi is attracted to someone else.
Fall in love with Yan Liang or Yu Zhi.
These two people are not easy to deal with.
At that time, they will also be able to find out the girls' backgrounds. If a girl likes one of them, they can also ask Yan Shen to check their backgrounds.
Those who come from a well-off family can continue to play around.
Forget it if you come from a poor family. There is no need to waste time.
That's the reality.
So in order to avoid any of the above situations from happening, the most reliable and secure method is... to make Qiao Xi fall in love with him.
Waiting for the sound of water in the bathroom to stop.
Zhan Qi also casually picked up his towel and clothes and went out. The girl just came out of the bathroom. She was wearing plush cat pajamas and holding a towel. She saw Zhan Qi holding a change of clothes.
She also moved aside.
"I'm done washing, you go ahead." When the boy came out after washing, her hair was almost dry.
Zhan Qi didn't say anything.
She walked past Qiao Xi and entered the bathroom, closing the door. The girl went back to her room to blow dry her hair. Fortunately, she had just finished taking a shower and had washed and disinfected her underwear with cleaning techniques, then carried her out wrapped in a towel.
Although we are family now.
But it is still inconvenient to have the opposite sex at home.
After returning to her room and drying her hair by her window to ventilate, she closed the curtains and went to blow dry her hair. Zhan Qi was undressing in the bathroom when he accidentally caught a glimpse of the girl's changed clothes in the dirty clothes tray.
His gaze paused.
Then he stayed there for a while, wantonly brushing past the girl's school uniform.
He also changed into his school uniform.
But it’s a larger size than Qiao Xi’s, so when I threw it in, the colors blended together and there was no sense of incongruity.
The sound of the TV in the living room was gone.
His stepfather went out to drink and gamble again. Qiao Xi waited until her hair was almost dry and made sure that there was nothing wrong with her clothes.
Wait until the sound of water in the bathroom gradually subsides.
The boy seemed to have returned to the room, so she got up and knocked on the door. This time, Zhan Qi opened the door quickly.
The boy also had the same shower gel scent as her.
"What question do you want to ask me?"
Qiao Xi walked into the room and sat down on the bed next to the desk just like before. She had also sat here to explain questions to boys before, and this angle was indeed quite good.
Qiao Xi wanted to finish her talk and go to bed quickly.
After all, she still had to get up early to prepare breakfast, wash the dirty clothes and hang them out to dry, and so on, and there were a lot of trivial things to do.
My stepfather is also a sloppy person.
After returning from outside, he would collapse on the sofa, with his legs crossed on the table, waiting for someone to serve him food, doing nothing else.
So even if Qiao Xi still has to go to school.
Housework and breakfast and dinner are also provided.
Zhan Qi locked the door and walked towards her. The boy looked down at her, his hair wet by moisture drooping softly on his forehead, softening the darkness in his deep eyes.
"Do you have someone you like?"
A calm voice asked lightly, causing Qiao Xi to feel puzzled.
Is this the question I want to ask?
This was not what she had expected. She had been prepared to explain the problem to others, but she did not expect that her time would be wasted here.
"No, I'm going back to sleep."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xi stood up speechlessly and prepared to walk around him.
"Then go to sleep."
Zhan Qi suddenly grabbed her slender wrist, stopping her in her tracks. The boy's action was very rough, causing Qiao Xi to stumble.
She caught herself in time.
But Zhan Qi obviously had no intention of letting her go.
"What on earth are you..." The girl stopped talking abruptly, her body stiffened slightly, and an indescribable sense of familiarity surged up again.
Zhan Qi looked at her.
His deep, gloomy eyes were dark and unclear, and the ice beneath them sealed all his emotions. He held Qiao Xi's wrist tightly, without any mercy.
My vision was spinning.
In an instant, Qiao Xi was overturned and pushed onto the bed by him, and thrown into the corner against the wall.
"What do you want to do?"
The alertness and astonishment in the girl's beautiful eyes were hard to conceal, and her slightly trembling voice seemed to perfectly betray her panic and fear at the moment.
Zhan Qi ignored it.
He went to bed and pulled the quilt over him without even looking at her, and just said something.
"Sleep with me before you fall in love with me."
Qiao Xi just felt it was unreasonable.
She decisively turned over and tried to get over him to get out of bed, but she didn't expect Zhan Qi to be faster than her. As soon as she stretched her legs to step over him, the boy grabbed her ankle with his slender hands.
He turned over and pressed down.
The quilt slid aside, and her fair ankle was held and lifted up, while Zhan Qi's other hand directly clasped her wrist and pressed it on the pillow.
There was a surge of impending storm in his dark eyes.
His eyes deepened slightly, and he spoke in a low, hoarse voice: "You'd better not provoke me, just be obedient."
This posture is too ambiguous.
It's also too beautiful.
It was beyond the girl's imagination. She seemed to be stunned by this sudden change, and her bright and clear eyes were full of helplessness and fear.
Want to struggle out.
The difference in physique and strength makes people feel even more powerless.
"You, you can't do this, why?"
Qiao Xi's voice was as thin as a mosquito's whisper, with a faint sob in it. Soon, the girl's clear eyes were covered with mist, and a teardrop slid down the corner of her eye uncontrollably.
Zhan Qi's grip on her loosened slightly.
I also know that such an action is too stimulating for her.
He sighed as if giving up and let go of the girl's ankles.
He leaned over and kissed away the tears from the corners of her eyes, his deep voice filled with suppressed struggle and pain.
"Can you please stop asking why and just fall in love with me quickly?"
"But you clearly said to keep your distance..."
Qiao Xi couldn't react to his change. The soft lips that touched her eyes were so close. The boy's breath was so close, and her heart was beating like a drum. She didn't know if it was because of nervousness or something else.
Zhan Qi turned around and put his arms around her waist.
When he really held Qiao Xi in his arms, he found that she was even slimmer and softer than he had imagined.
The girl didn't dare to move.
Zhan Qi noticed that her whole body was stiff, and his slender hands stroked Qiao Xi's hair and pressed her head into his arms.
"Go to sleep, I won't do anything."
He held her in his arms, which meant he had no intention of letting Qiao Xi leave.
The girl didn't seem to understand why he did this. The boy's arm around her waist was very noticeable, and the temperature at such a close distance made her uncomfortable.
Zhan Qi casually took back the quilt and covered her with it.
The boy stroked her hair from time to time, and Qiao Xi was a little confused by his actions. After confirming that nothing would happen to her, she forced herself to close her eyes.
I just couldn't sleep well.
An action that crossed the line seemed to have quietly changed the relationship between the two without them realizing it.
