Chapter 386: Evil (15)
Two self-study classes.
I originally thought it would take a long time, but when I hung out with Yan Liang, time seemed to pass a lot faster.
There is a basketball machine here.
The boy also came to teach her how to shoot. As the distance between them naturally shortened, the ambiguity brewing between them seemed to grow quietly.
Inadvertently.
Occasional physical contact seems to easily make people blush and their heart beat faster.
Qiao Xi's mood changes.
All of this was seen by Yan Liang. She occasionally showed a shy look, and sometimes looked conflicted.
These changes.
Naturally, Yan Liang did not miss the opportunity, and when the two came out of the arcade, the girl still looked dazed and confused.
It seems that he hasn't fully recovered yet.
Seeing this, Yan Liang smiled and rubbed her head with his eyes slightly curved. Unlike when she first came, Qiao Xi didn't seem to be so resistant anymore.
"Let's play together next time."
After hearing the boy's words, she finally came to her senses.
"No, it's too expensive for you." Qiao Xi shook her head and refused. This time, the boy dragged her here by force, and after the commotion, that should be enough.
The girl lowered her eyes slightly.
She looked a little lonely, and her hands were tugging at the hem of her clothes anxiously.
Yan Liang walked beside her.
As if he had reached out his hand naturally and inadvertently, he held her soft little hand. Qiao Xi was stunned, her expression obviously frozen.
The boy's nonchalant voice came.
"It doesn't cost anything. If you become my girlfriend, we're just on a date."
The girl was obviously frightened by his words.
In panic, she quickly retracted her hand, but Yan Liang was determined not to let her go. When Qiao Xi tried to struggle out, he held the girl tighter.
"Why are you hiding? I'm not asking you to answer now."
Qiao Xi's expression was complicated and conflicted.
She pursed her pink lips, lowered her eyes and looked away from Yan Liang, but the boy did not miss the disappointment in her eyes.
As if hesitating.
The girl seemed to be struggling. She hesitated for a long time before asking slowly.
"Have you said that to other girls?"
otherwise……
How can he be so skilled, whether it is taking her out to play or holding her hand now.
It’s a bit uncomfortable to think about it this way.
The joy I had just felt turned into a downturn, thinking that the boy was so skilled and that this might not be his first time doing this.
"No, I only do this to people I like."
Yan Liang was carefree and walked down the street holding her hand openly.
"like?"
Qiao Xi stared wide-eyed and blinked, at a loss.
This...isn't this too sudden?
"My apology is fake, but I'm really looking for reasons to be nice to you. I asked you out because I wanted to have fun with you. No matter how you interpret it, just think of it as love at first sight. So, would you like to consider me?"
Yan Liang stopped walking.
The young man standing against the light had a firm and serious look, and his dark eyes contained a calmness and sincerity that had never been seen before.
Unconcealed passionate emotions.
It was clearly visible in his eyes, blatantly declaring his feelings and sincerity.
"I have no idea."
Qiao Xi seemed to be burned by this gaze. She quickly looked away, pursed her lips and lowered her head.
"It's okay, I'll give you some time to think about it."
Yan Liang was particularly considerate at this time. The boy narrowed his eyes and raised his hand to ruffle her hair lovingly.
"I don't understand it very well now, so there's no need to rush to give me an answer."
"……Um."
The girl blushed and nodded shyly, and was led by the boy back to the wall.
This time he was lifted up and turned over again.
My mood is completely different from when I first came out.
Yan Liang watched the girl's back as she left in a daze, until Qiao Xi's figure completely disappeared from his sight.
The temperature of his eyes also cooled down in an instant.
All the kindness shown turned cold in an instant.
When the corners of his lips curled up slightly, what appeared was no longer a hearty smile, but a sneer full of sarcasm, accompanied by dark eyes as dark as ink.
Boring.
So easy to fool.
Yan Shen never gets tired of eating this dish every time, but he is almost vomiting from acting.
Yan Liang leaned against the wall and casually reached into his pocket, pulling out a cigarette, putting it between his lips and lighting it with his lighter. As the smoke lingered, his mind gradually cleared.
Qiao Xi, who turned around and left, had not yet walked out of the grove.
She walked out on the dry branches, and the expression on her face no longer had the girlish cuteness and shyness she had before.
My heart is as calm as still water, extremely peaceful.
She had cooperated with all the performances she was supposed to, and her business status had always been online. The guess was almost right, and Yan Shen had sent out the wrong signal.
Then Yuzhi and the others received it.
Then each of them began to act using their own means.
Qiao Xi's mysteriously missing English book was shown on the virtual screen as being in an unknown trash can, and then mixed with a lot of garbage and dumped in a garbage dump.
Her English book disappeared.
I'm afraid I'll never find it again.
This waste of books is truly shameful. Calling them scumbags is an understatement. They will do anything to achieve their goals, even disregarding basic moral principles.
Is there really no good stuff left?
When they were about to walk out of the grove, Qiao Xi lowered her eyes and put away all her emotions, continuing to act like the sensible and well-behaved girl she usually was.
She didn't come back for two study sessions.
It's already time to go home from school when I come back.
Bai Zhizhi had originally been thinking about chatting with Qiao Xi during the break, and mentioning her student union interview, but she felt a little disappointed when she didn't see Qiao Xi.
She didn't know where Qiao Xi was doing.
Want to ask someone else.
But the other girls ignored her, or were lukewarm and gave her a few perfunctory words.
Did Qiao Xi go home early?
That's not right. We can't leave the school that way. Besides, the girls haven't even taken their bags. Their things are still here.
Bai Zhizhi was waiting for her to come back in the classroom.
From time to time, he would look towards the door, trying to find a familiar figure.
Time passes by every second.
Bai Zhizhi gradually became anxious until the figure she had been longing for finally appeared in her sight.
Her eyes lit up instantly.
As soon as the girl entered the classroom and returned to her seat, Bai Zhizhi immediately leaned over and looked at her with a wronged look, blinking her eyes.
"Xixi, where have you been? You haven't come back for a long time."
Qiao Xi glanced sideways at Bai Zhizhi who was leaning over to her table, and replied seriously, "She went out to play with others."
Tell the truth again.
"You have other friends? Woohoo, I've fallen out of favor." Bai Zhizhi immediately became possessed by the spirit of acting and covered her face and pretended to cry.
Qiao Xi interrupted ruthlessly.
"You seem to be in a hurry. Is there anything you want to talk to me about?"
Bai Zhizhi immediately stopped talking and nodded: "You have to go to the student union for an interview tomorrow. I have already interviewed you."
Qiao Xi looked at her suspiciously: "When did you pass the interview?"
Bai Zhizhi hesitated.
"I went to the student union at noon. I had an interview at noon. It was a little late after I finished, so I had lunch there."
"All right."
Qiao Xi didn't pursue the matter further.
At that time, Bai Zhizhi only told her that she could not go to the cafeteria with her at noon, and did not mention the interview. She also did not know that Bai Zhizhi was going to the student union for an interview.
As for what happened between her and Yan Shen.
Qiao Xi wasn't very interested either.
"Are you still going home today? How is your brother's injury?"
Bai Zhizhi saw that she had almost packed her things, and felt a little disappointed thinking that she would have to go to the playground alone again today.
"If you take more care of it, it will get better faster."
Qiao Xi replied while putting the book back into her bag.
Bai Zhizhi watched from the side and nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, children are very naughty, and it's hard for you as a big sister."
Although she is an only child, she can hardly understand this feeling.
But Bai Zhizhi could probably imagine it.
Seeing the children of her relatives making so much noise, she thought of Qiao Xi having a younger brother who needed to be taken care of, and her life seemed to be even more difficult.
Qiao Xi was speechless when she saw the pain in her eyes.
She didn't know what Bai Zhizhi had misunderstood.
But her younger brother is not young anymore. However, this matter cannot be discussed in detail, so Qiao Xi gave up and said goodbye to Bai Zhizhi.
She has been tutoring Zhan Qi these days.
The boy didn’t know what psychological changes had happened, but he seemed to be less resistant to studying and was gradually consolidating his foundation.
His injuries are gradually healing.
In addition, his stepfather hadn't beaten him recently, so the situation was much better than before. Qiao Xi went home, had dinner with him, and then tutored the boy as usual.
It’s just that Zhan Qi was a little careless today.
He didn't seem to be listening carefully.
His dark, deep eyes stayed on the girl's cheek, and his gaze vaguely brushed against Qiao Xi's soft lips. Puzzled by his gaze, Qiao Xi stopped and couldn't help but ask.
"What's wrong?"
Zhan Qi lowered his eyes and looked away: "Nothing."
Having crossed the line once and tasted the sweetness, one will naturally want more. Generally, after something begins, there are only countless times and zero times.
He began to look forward to the night.
Seeing that he was unwilling to talk, Qiao Xi was also confused. She had no choice but to continue focusing on the textbook in front of her, letting Zhan Qi concentrate and study.
I slept with Zhan Qi both nights.
Now sleeping together doesn't seem so awkward anymore.
Qiao Xi came over with her pillow and quilt. When the boy just came out of the shower and was wiping his wet hair, she had already climbed onto the bed, spread out her things, and huddled in the corner.
Zhan Qi's bony hands casually stroked his hair.
Use a hair dryer to blow dry.
Qiao Xi sat on the bed and looked at him, her eyes following him. She looked at the pajamas that had slipped off the boy's arm and caught a glimpse of the scar that had begun to fade.
The bruises are still there.
But it is not as hideous and terrifying as before.
Fortunately, it was winter now, so even if he wore more clothes, it wouldn't be hard to tell that he was fine. Before summer came, all of Zhan Qi's injuries should be healed.
"Why did you come to me today to go back together?"
Qiao Xi held the soft quilt tightly in her hands, looking up at the slender back of the young man with his hair blowing.
There is no contact at all in school.
Today is just so abnormal.
"Action, didn't Yan Liang and Yu Zhi also look for opportunities to contact you?" After drying the hair dryer for a while, Zhan Qi stopped, put away the hair dryer, and turned to look at her.
“That’s true…”
Qiao Xi nodded thoughtfully after hearing this.
What was this action? Did they agree on it?
The girl was alone with her thoughts, and Zhan Qi noticed she was distracted again. The boy immediately approached her, his hands on the edge of the bed, and pushed her into the corner.
Qiao Xi came back to her senses.
Looking at the elegant and indifferent face in front of me, and then looking into the boy's eyes that seemed deep but actually quietly revealed extreme emotions, I had an ominous premonition for no reason.
Zhan Qi closed his eyes slightly.
"How did they get to you?"
His eyes inadvertently swept across the faded marks on the girl's neck. It seemed that he was too restrained yesterday, and the marks remained for too short a time.
