They agreed to meet him tomorrow, but Qiu Ci waited for three days before seeing him.
Xie Dongling was only caught in the rain for more than ten seconds that night, or maybe tens of seconds. He sneezed as soon as he got in the car. He thought it was nothing, but he developed a fever that night.
The Xie family was so frightened that they didn't sleep all night. They called a private doctor and wiped his sweat with alcohol. The lights were brightly lit in the house all night.
After his fever subsided the next day, he caught a cold again. The corners of his eyes and nose were red, and he looked pitiful. Xie Yixing felt sorry for him, so he took a few days off and let him stay at home covered with a blanket and sniffle.
The medicine prescribed by the doctor was very effective, as was the very painful butt injection, plus the healing soup cooked by Li Rui.
It only took three days for Xie Dongling to recover from the fever and cold that made the whole Xie family nervous.
Now that he was well, he went to school. Li Rui softly called Xie Dongling to drink soup. Turning around, he told Teacher Cheng on the phone that Xie Dongling would go back to class tomorrow.
Teacher Cheng on the other end of the phone said hello and asked Li Rui, "Mr. Li, are you back from a business trip? Come to school when you are free. I want to talk to you about Dong Ling's college entrance examination application direction."
What are you going on a business trip for?
Li Rui thought briefly for a few seconds, then turned his head to look at his youngest son who was drinking soup obediently. He probably guessed what was going on. He calmly agreed and said he would go to school tomorrow.
Xie Dongling didn't know anything yet. He had asked for leave for three days, but he still had to call his parents, but it didn't matter. He had already made an agreement with his eldest brother, and his eldest brother promised him to go to school to meet the teacher.
At seven o'clock the next morning, it was Li Rui who sent people to school as usual. Xie Dongling held an umbrella in one hand and another in his bag. After saying goodbye to Li Rui, he walked into the school.
After he disappeared around the corner, Li Rui took off his seat belt, got out of the car, and walked into the school.
After Li Rui entered the school, a while later, it was morning reading time. The students had all arrived at school. The gate of the campus gradually closed. Xie Jingling walked over leisurely while drinking soy milk.
After taking three days off at home, Xie Dongling felt that the school had a strange feeling, like meeting again after a long absence. It seems that the saying that the school is my home is false. How could anyone feel that home is a strange place?
He slowly climbed up to the third floor and turned into Class 1, Grade 3.
The class was very lively. When several familiar classmates saw him, they were not curious to ask him why he asked for leave. They just told Xie Dongling with a smile that he had not come to school for three days and had 20 extra test papers. Remember to make them up.
Hearing that there were 20 test papers, Xie Dongling frowned tightly. He wanted to go home and ask his father to ask him for a few more days off, but this was impossible. He sighed quietly and walked to his seat.
There used to be only one person in the room, but now there is one more person. Qiu Ci arrived in the classroom 20 minutes earlier than him and is now reading a foreign book.
Qiu Ci saw a shadow from the corner of his eye, but did not raise his head. He was still reading the book quietly. His slender fingers turned over a page. The moment Xie Dongling sat down, he took the initiative to say hello to him, " Good morning."
"Qiu Ci, good morning." Xie Dongling greeted him awkwardly and sat down next to him.
He was recovering from his cold, but his voice was still nasal and muffled, not as clear as before.
Qiu Ci turned his head to look at him without revealing any trace, and saw that Xie Dongling's face was slightly pale and he looked lackluster.
Because you lent me an umbrella, did you catch a cold in the rain?
Xie Dongling looked at the neatly stacked test papers on his desk, as well as a clean and tidy umbrella.
According to his past leave requests, Xiu Zhian should have folded the test papers for him, so he just closed the stack of test papers without looking at them and put them into the table.
As for the umbrella, he lent it to Qiu Ci, and Xie Dongling put it into the table along with the other two umbrellas he brought over this morning.
After finishing everything, he was about to start a day of study and life.
Normal high school students start their day with morning reading. Xie Dongling is different from normal high school students. He had no deskmate before and spent most of his morning reading time alone in a daze.
But it's different now, he has a deskmate now
He saw that Qiu Ci had not read early, but was reading a book that he could not understand.
Unconsciously leaning towards Qiu Ci's hand, Xie Dongling asked him while reading the foreign book, "Qiu Ci, why do you want to move?"
This question was what he wanted to ask three days ago, but he was called up by the teacher to answer the question and forgot about it for a while.
He was too close. When Qiu Ci came closer, he smelled a faint fragrance of peach blossoms and felt the breath of his breath on his wrists, which was warm and tingling.
Qiu Ci put his hand down as his Adam's apple moved, avoiding Xie Dongling's warm breath, and replied calmly, "My parents' work has been transferred."
"That's it." This is a very common reason for transferring to another school. Xie Dongling has seen many classmates like this.
Unable to find another topic, Xie Dongling had no choice but to stop talking, but he didn't move his body away. He looked at the foreign book. The text on it was not in English, and he didn't know what language it was.
Qiu Ci didn't say anything. The two of them looked at the foreign book quietly and fell into silence.
In my ears I could hear the sound of classmates reading aloud, and outside the window I could hear the chirping of birds. A breeze blew in through the window, blowing the broken hair on Xie Dongling's forehead.
The vague fragrance of peach blossoms drifted along the wind, and Qiu Ci felt his throat itchy inexplicably. He closed the book with his long fingers and turned his head to look at Xie Dongling.
"Read it early."
Xie Dongling's cheeks felt faintly hot when he looked at him, and he felt a little embarrassed. This was the first time he had felt this way after spending so long with his classmates.
It was a very strange feeling. He didn't know how to describe it. Maybe Qiu Ci was too cold and couldn't speak.
Yes, it is like that.
He responded nonchalantly, avoided Qiu Ci's gaze, moved his body back to his position, and opened the Chinese book to read.
Teacher Cheng had just finished talking to Li Rui and was sending him out when he stopped by the class to see if the students had read seriously.
She observed the students inside at the back door of the classroom. Most of the students were very well-behaved. They knew that time is money and they must grasp every minute and every second.
But there are also a small number of students in the class who are not serious. This small group of students refers to Xie Dongling and his new classmate Qiu Ci.
When Teacher Cheng looked at them, what he saw was this scene. Xie Dongling and Qiu Ci were very close. Judging from their movements, they seemed to be reading a book on Qiu Ci's desk. After a short while, they looked at each other.
After a while, they separated.
Years of work experience have made Teacher Cheng alert. Now is an important time to prepare for the college entrance examination. She will never allow any signs of puppy love to appear in the class.
To separate them.
But soon, she gave up the idea and felt that she was worrying too much.
Qiu Ci had only transferred here for a few days, and Xie Dongling had taken another three days off. The total time they spent together was less than 24 hours. What could they develop in this little time.
Even if she falls in love at first sight, it can't be so fast. What's more, based on her three years of knowing Xie Dongling, Teacher Cheng knows very well that Xie Dongling has no love for others at all.
No matter what kind of love it is, with him, it will turn into classmate love and friendship.
Thinking this way, Teacher Cheng felt a lot more relaxed. Let's not rush now. She would observe it for two more days. If there were any signs, she would extinguish them immediately. If there were no signs, of course it would be best.
She looked at the students in the class for a while, then returned to the office and found a tall figure in front of her desk.
I have to say that the genes of the Xie family are really good. Not only is Xie Dongling beautiful, his brother is also very handsome.
Just standing there, Xie Jingling became the most beautiful sight in the office, attracting the attention of the young male and female teachers in the office.
He was bribed by his younger brother with a ten-minute shoulder hammer last night and promised to come and see the teacher today.
When he saw Teacher Cheng at this time, he put away his mobile phone and said hello politely, "Hello, you are Teacher Cheng, Ling'er's class teacher. I am his eldest brother. If you need anything, just tell me."
Big brother, why did another big brother suddenly appear?
Teacher Cheng was confused and asked, "But Mr. Li has just been here, didn't you know?"
Xie Jingling didn't know that the younger brother only asked him to come alone, and he didn't say that his father would also come.
Teacher Cheng didn't understand what Xie Dongling told his father and brother. She looked at her watch and saw that it was only five minutes before Li Rui left. Xie Jingling should have just arrived. Didn't the two father and son meet?
Xie Jingling stayed at Xie's house for a long time and quickly understood what happened in the process.
The teacher asked the younger brother to call his parents, but the younger brother didn't dare, so he called him over. But he didn't know where Li Rui got the news and was one step ahead of him.
I don't know what the teacher and Li Rui said. The top priority is to help the younger brother take care of this matter first. Xie Jingling shrugged and said casually, "So dad has been here? Okay, I understand, teacher, if there is nothing else It's okay, I'll leave first."
Looking at Xie Jingling's retreating back, Teacher Cheng couldn't figure out why she felt so weird about the Xie family.
That night, Li Rui cooked a large pot of all-purpose chicken soup that was delicious, delicious, and Xie Dongling's favorite fried prawns, roasted whole chicken, fried potato cakes, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised crucian carp, and fish-flavored eggplant. , stir-fried small vegetables, and dessert are fruit and taro balls.
The dinner was so sumptuous that Xie's family didn't dare to take down their chopsticks. They all sat obediently, waiting for Li Rui to say something.
Li Rui scooped a bowl of chicken soup for each of them. Seeing that they were sitting still, he asked doubtfully, "Drink the soup. Why don't you drink it? Do you still want me to feed you?"
As soon as he said these words, everyone looked at the bowl of soup in front of them. The soup was mellow and constantly exuding fragrance.
It looks delicious and should not be poisonous.
Xie Dongling was eager, so he drank first, took a small sip along the edge of the bowl, and gave Li Rui a thumbs up.
Not bad, delicious, not poisonous.
Now everyone felt relieved and had a great meal.
Li Rui looked at his youngest son tenderly and reached out to touch his head, "Drink more, Ling'er. I see you have been tired during this period and your face has become thinner."
Xie Dongling nodded, "Dad drinks too."
Li Rui didn't drink the soup, so he continued, "Ling'er, for dad, it's not very important whether you can get into a good university or not. People study all their lives, and there is no end to it. Dad hopes for you." , go to school to feel the content of school life, not to go to school for scores."
Xie Yixing put down the bowl and echoed, "Yes, Ling'er, how you learned before, how you learn now, how many points you get in the test, what university you get into, both father and mother will be happy."
Xie Dongling bit the tip of her chopsticks, thinking about what they said, and asked them with a frown, "But when the third brother took the college entrance examination, you said he didn't study because he couldn't get into A University. Teacher Cheng also told me to work hard, maybe I can pass the exam. Go to A major."
Li Rui pretended not to know and said, "Really? Why don't I know about this? You can try hard, but don't tire yourself out. Do you understand?"
The meal was like Xie Dongling's ideological education meal. Li Rui and Xie Yi were telling him in and out of their jargons not to work too hard. Your body is the most important, and your grades are secondary.
Except for Teacher Cheng and Xie Jingling, no one else knew about Li Rui going to school.
Seeing that Li Rui didn't tell Xie Dongling, Xie Jingling had no choice but to pretend that nothing happened, and found an excuse to fool the younger brother, saying that the teacher just cared about whether their food was good or not.
Although Xie Dongling thought this reason was outrageous, he felt that his elder brother would not lie to him and convinced himself to accept this reason.
In the following days, Xie Dongling still lived his boring and daily school life. After he and Qiu Ci went through a one-week transition period, he finally realized the benefits of having a deskmate.
Ask what it's like to have a deskmate
Xie Dongling said thank you for the invitation. I feel very good, very good. My roommate is very handsome and a very nice person. He not only helps me look after the teacher in class, helps me get hot water after class, and also helps me review during evening self-study. He is really a good person. He's such a good guy, I want to give him a good guy card.
Good person card
In fact, the reason why Xie Dongling said she would help him look after the teacher in class was because he was not paying attention in class and when he wanted to do some tricks, he pitifully asked Qiu Ci to help him.
"Qiu Ci, I'm so sleepy and want to sleep. You are so serious in class. If the teacher comes down, just pat me and tell me, thank you."
After he finished saying this, he waited for a cynical nod before falling asleep.
Qiu Ci looked at the messy hair sticking up on the back of his head. Under the sunlight, it printed a subtle warm golden light.
There was a feeling in his heart that he wanted to suppress the messy hair that was sticking up.
Pursing his lips, Qiu Ci suddenly reached out and pulled the curtains to block the sunlight outside the window.
Xie Dongling said so, but Qiu Ci didn't have the chance to call him. They were in the last row and in the corner. The teacher couldn't be distracted in class, so he turned a blind eye and let him sleep.
The reason why Xie Dongling helped him get hot water after class was because he had to go to the canteen to buy something to eat. He didn't have time to queue up to get hot water, so he had to ask Qiu Ci to help him.
"Qiu Ci, let me treat you to some Wangzai Zai milk and Little Bear Meow biscuits. Can you help me get the hot water? Thank you."
After he said this, he looked at Qiu Ci expectantly. Qiu Ci felt itchy and nodded silently.
After receiving the reply, Xie Dongling placed her thermos cup on his desk and went to the canteen with her classmates.
Qiu Ci looked at his goose-yellow rabbit thermos cup, hesitated for a moment, picked it up and walked outside the classroom to help Xie Dongling get the hot water.
As soon as he walked out, the students around him suddenly started whispering.
Classmate a: "I thought Qiu Ci was the kind of aloof male god. I never saw him talking to others. I didn't expect that he would help Xie Dongling get water. The little rabbit water cup actually goes well with him."
Classmate B: "We are all classmates, and Xiaoling and he are at the same table. It is not normal for us to talk to each other. We help each other and are united and friendly."
Classmate C: "Is this normal? Why do I feel so strange? Why don't you ask Qiu Ci to get you some water later and see if he is willing?"
Classmate B: "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I want you to go. It's been so many days and I haven't spoken to him yet. He is really cold."
Classmate d: "Have you noticed that they actually match each other quite well? One is aloof and the other is cute. Isn't this type of c very popular recently?"
Classmate A: "Hey, let's break up. The chance of Xie Dongling falling in love is even smaller than my chance of scoring 700 points in the exam. I bet two hundred that they will never be able to do it."
Xiu Zhi listened to them quietly and suddenly interjected, "As the squad leader, I want to remind you that it is not a good idea to tell classmates about c."
After Qiu Ci came back from the hot water, the students who were still chatting immediately changed the topic and talked about the recent review paper.
Xie Dongling ran back before the school bell rang. He sat down panting and handed Qiu Ci two bottles of Wangzaizai milk. "There are no Little Bear Meow biscuits in the canteen, so I bought two bottles of milk."
Qiu Ci didn't answer, he shook his head, "I don't like drinking milk, you can drink it yourself."
Xie Dongling didn't force him. He took back the two bottles of Wangzai milk and asked, "What do you like to drink? I'll buy it for you next time."
"No need." Qiu Ci rejected him.
Xie Dongling was rejected by him. He had no reaction at that time, his expression and movements were normal, and he drank the two bottles of Wangzai Zai milk by himself.
But if Qiu Ci had known that he would do that kind of thing later, he would never have refused him at the beginning.
Because when Qiu Ci returned to the classroom the next day, he found that everyone was gathered around the public refrigerator at the back of the classroom. When the students saw him coming, they consciously made a path for him.
Qiu Ci didn't gossip, but subconsciously glanced in the direction of the empty space. With just one glance, he was stunned.
There is a large box next to the refrigerator, which contains various flavors, bottles, cans, and boxes, a total of 36 bottles of drinks. There are also large words written on the outside of the box with a black marker.
Qiu Ci's exclusive drink
There is a line of small words next to those big words, which is a kind reminder to the students.
This is Qiu Ci's drink. Don't take it randomly. If you really want to drink it, you can drink it first. You don't need to tell me, but remember to return it.
The sudden appearance of this box of drinks attracted the attention of the whole class, and also attracted the attention of Teacher Cheng who came to patrol the class.
Teacher Cheng looked at the box of drinks and wanted to say something. When he saw Qiu Ci's expressionless face, he sighed softly and said politely, "Qiu Ci, although you are still young, you should drink less drinks. It's not good for your body." not good."
Qiu Ci did not speak, but the corner of his mouth twitched. He looked at the box of drinks and knew very clearly who put it there.
Xie Dongling walked into the classroom humming a la la la song. The first thing he saw was Qiu Ci standing next to the box of drinks. He ran over quickly and said, "Qiu Ci, you found out."
Can you not notice that the big words almost jumped out of the paper?
Qiu Ci rarely regrets. He regretted not taking the two bottles of Wangzai Zai milk yesterday.
When people regret to a certain extent, they will do some irrational behavior, such as now.
In front of the whole class and the teacher, Qiu Ci grabbed Xie Dongling's wrist and led him out of the classroom to the toilet at the end of the corridor.
