Qin Hezhou suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his whole body stiff and unable to react.
He knew that at this moment, a huge curtain was about to be lifted, and as for what was hidden behind it...
No one knows.
After saying that, Pei Zhiyu paused for a long time, as if he was preparing himself mentally.
"I remember when you were young, you always brought me milk," she said.
During that time, Pei Zhiyu was in a very bad state and was in a daze all day because the nanny who raised her was seriously ill and hospitalized.
The next time she saw Qin Hezhou was in the school cafeteria. She ordered a bowl of beef noodles as usual, but she swallowed it without adding any cilantro.
At this moment, someone suddenly sat down in the empty seat directly opposite him.
There was clearly no one around, but he insisted on sitting opposite him. Pei Zhiyu was very confused.
But she didn't have the energy to guess what others were thinking. She just sat wherever she wanted and continued to eat her noodles numbly.
Qin Hezhou picked up the chopsticks but just stirred around in the bowl.
Ever since he lent her the umbrella that day, he has been thinking about finding an opportunity to get it.
But these days, every time he wanted to find Pei Zhiyu, he found that she seemed to be in a bad mood. Qin Hezhou was afraid that he would disturb her, so he never mustered up the courage to say hello.
Until just now, he saw Pei Zhiyu numbly eating the coriander he hated the most.
Alarm bells rang in his heart, and he had a bad feeling.
Qin Hezhou wanted to help and make her happy, but when he really sat there, he didn't know what he could do.
"Uh, classmate, when will you return the umbrella to me?" He chose the dumbest opening line.
"Ahem." Pei Zhiyu suddenly choked on his noodles and asked in confusion, "What umbrella?"
"It rained last Thursday, and I..."
"Oh, sorry." She put down her chopsticks and said guiltily, "I forgot. I didn't bring my umbrella today. I'll return it to you next Monday."
Qin Hezhou was still in a daze and didn't answer her for a while.
Pei Zhiyu thought he was unhappy, so he asked again: "If not, how about I give you the money directly?"
As she spoke, she was about to take money out of her pocket.
Qin Hezhou quickly stopped him, "It's okay. Just return it to me next week."
He held the milk bottle, feeling the warm touch from his palm. Almost subconsciously, he picked up the hot milk and handed it over.
Pei Zhiyu looked at him puzzledly.
"..." Qin Hezhou was suddenly at a loss, his mind went blank.
"Thank you, drink it yourself." Pei Zhiyu declined and picked up the bowl to leave.
He finally reacted and wanted to call out to the other person, but before he could open his mouth, Pei Zhiyu came back by himself.
She asked, "What's your name? How can I find you next week?"
Qin Hezhou said woodenly, "Class eight, Qin Hezhou."
At that time, he was a pure young boy, at an age where he would be at a loss even if he met the person he liked.
He did not let Pei Zhiyu take the initiative to find him. Every noon after that, he would appear in front of her and give her a bottle of hot milk.
Although Pei Zhiyu never accepted it.
Once, she finally couldn't help but ask Qin Hezhou out of curiosity why he always gave her milk.
In the end, he said that it was too painful to watch Pei Zhiyu eat coriander.
Then she couldn't help laughing, the first time she had laughed in that painful time.
She was close to Qin Hezhou, and many people around them noticed it, and many people gossiped about her.
One day, Pei Zhiyu waited in the cafeteria for a long time, but Qin Hezhou didn't show up.
She couldn't help but ask, but she learned from others that Qin Hezhou had a fight with some hooligans from another school yesterday, and came to school in the morning with a bruised face.
The man also reminded Pei Zhiyu to stay away from Qin Hezhou, saying that none of these rich second-generations were good people.
"Maybe he just thought it was fun to lie to you."
Pei Zhiyu didn't listen. She even took the opportunity to run to Class 8 to look for someone.
But she went at the wrong time, Qin Hezhou was not in the classroom, but just as she was about to leave, she was stopped by a boy.
He said he was Qin Hezhou's cousin, named Qin Yu.
If she could, she should have just left at that time, no matter whose brother he was.
Qin Yu pulled Pei Zhiyu to the corner of the stairs. If you look closely, you will find that he is smiling cunningly. He said, "That stinky... No, my cousin asked me to tell you that I have something to talk to you about after school on Friday. Can you stay and wait for him for a while?"
"What takes so long? Where are his own people?" Pei Zhiyu was skeptical.
Qin Yu was a little impatient, "You know he's injured."
Thinking of his classmates' words, Pei Zhiyu nodded, "Yeah."
"Right, so I'm embarrassed to see you." Qin Yu glanced at his watch and hurriedly urged: "Tsk, just tell me if it's okay or not, I still have something to do."
After much hesitation, she finally agreed, remembering Qin Hezhou's previous kindness to her.
"But I have something to do that day. If I wait too long, I will leave first." Pei Zhiyu said.
Qin Yu nodded indifferently and walked away.
From that day on, Pei Zhiyu never saw Qin Hezhou again, and she was too busy with babysitting to take care of anything else.
After school on Friday evening, she went to Class 8 as scheduled, but still did not see Qin Hezhou.
Waiting in the classroom were Qin Yu and a few unfamiliar faces, probably their classmates.
If Pei Zhiyu paid attention, she would have noticed that these people all had malicious expressions on their faces. She followed them down the spiral staircase, which became increasingly remote. She sensed something was amiss and stopped.
"Are you really his cousin?" Pei Zhiyu asked.
Qin Yu put his hands on his hips and said disdainfully, "Of course it is. Just ask anyone and they will know."
As he spoke, several people around him echoed him and occasionally laughed.
