On Friday, during physical education class, the classroom gradually became empty, and Qi Mingyue's heart became anxious along with this empty space.
She carefully looked around to make sure there was no one around, then she mustered up the courage and moved step by step towards He Ziqiu, who always sat alone in the last row of the classroom, immersed in a sea of books.
According to her observation, my little brother never participates in various classmates' activities, does not do homework, and is not gregarious, so except after school, he must be in his seat most of the time.
Her cheeks were red from nervousness, and she held a carefully prepared gift box tightly in her hands. Finally, she stood in front of her male god, and her voice trembled slightly: "Happy birthday!"
Hearing this, He Ziqiu looked up and saw another gift. The corner of his mouth twitched unnaturally, and then responded in a polite and distant tone: "Thank you!"
He took the gift box and gently placed it among the already slightly spectacular pile of gifts in the corner. Those pink and exquisitely packaged gifts all spoke of the girls' feelings, making Qi Mingyue feel a trace of sadness in her heart.
Only a real male god knows how proactive girls can be when a person is handsome, talented and capable.
Right, Daniel Wu (reader boss)?
"Hmm~" She responded softly, the blush on her cheeks getting even worse. After hesitating for a moment, she mustered up the courage to ask: "Do you want... to open it now and take a look?"
He Ziqiu smiled slightly, as if he had read through her thoughts, and said casually: "No need to open it, it's a watch, right? It's very good, I like it."
Qi Mingyue was stunned by these words. Could he have predicted it? Or was there some mark on the gift box?
"Then...do you need my help to put it on?" Qi Mingyue tried to find more opportunities to communicate, and her fingers unconsciously rubbed the corners of her clothes, looking a little embarrassed.
"No need, I can know the time at any time. All decorations are a burden to me." He Ziqiu's answer was still calm and indifferent, but it was like a basin of cold water that extinguished the small flame in Qi Mingyue's heart.
"Okay~" Qi Mingyue's voice contained a trace of imperceptible disappointment.
As night fell, the group of four gathered together to do homework as usual, but Qi Mingyue's eyes couldn't help but fall on the watch on Ling Xiao's wrist - the one she carefully selected for He Ziqiu.
At that moment, she seemed to hear the sound of her dream breaking, and her heart was filled with mixed feelings.
Her first love was dead before it even began.
I feel uncomfortable and want to cry!
…
On Sunday afternoon, the sun shone lazily in the house, and Li Jianjian was immersed in the world of sculpture alone. Her indifference to mathematics, physics and chemistry had already made her determined to master a craft to prevent the future from being turbulent.
As for the two elder brothers in the family, one is rushing to the independent enrollment field of Peking University, and the other is participating in the Olympiad Mathematics Competition in the government.
In the past six months, the school's honor roll has been changing like a revolving lantern, all highlighting their brilliant achievements. However, Li Jianjian was the only one missing from this trip, which made her feel a little sad.
Feeling grievances and unwillingness.
Shivering!
She has realized that it is better to rely on herself than to rely on anyone else.
Li Jianjian secretly encouraged himself and used the carving knife in his hand harder, as if he wanted to pour all his unwillingness into this small wooden carving.
"I carve, I carve, haha, just let me use a big carving knife to destroy this little wood carving of yours, little slut!"
A self-deprecating smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she whispered to the work that was about to take shape: "Don't accept it? I still have sandpaper, I wipe it, I wipe it hard! Little boy, let's see if I don't make you docile!"
Then she picked up the sandpaper and polished it carefully, vowing to make the wood surrender to her will.
suddenly.
A rapid knock on the door broke the silence. "Dong dong dong——".
Li Jianjian reluctantly put down his tools, wiped his hands, stood up and walked to the door, muttering: "Who is in such a hurry?"
When he opened the door, he saw Little Chengzi, carrying a heavy schoolbag, standing alone outside the door, looking around.
Regardless of why no one was watching such a young child, Li Jianjian suddenly felt confident when he came here alone.
Is she, a dignified girl who is a freshman in high school, still afraid of a primary school student?
The advantage is hers!
Li Jianjian folded his arms and leaned against the door frame, with a playful smile on his lips: "Oh, why are you coming to our house on the weekend?"
"Where is my brother?" Xiao Chengzi's tone was a bit stubborn.
"Your brother? He's not here. He'll probably be back soon." Li Jianjian deliberately let it slip and pointed to the corner, "Here, sit over there for a while and wait. Don't block the way."
Just as she was about to close the door to see the guests off, Xiao Chengzi suddenly reached out and stopped her, grabbing her clothes tightly: "Take me to him!"
Li Jianjian frowned: "Let go! If you don't let go, I'll beat you! I said three, one..."
But seeing the unquestionable light shining in Xiao Chengzi's eyes, Zhengyi said: "I'll give you money!"
My father has said since I was a child that money can solve 99% of the problems in this world, and the remaining 1% is probably because there is not enough money.
Hearing Xiao Chengzi's powerful words, Li Jianjian couldn't help but feel ripples in his heart and began to hesitate.
Small money!
"Let's do this, I'll give you a hundred yuan!" Little Chengzi waved his hand boldly and took out a bright red banknote from his pocket.
Before Li Jianjian could react, his hand involuntarily took over the "windfall".
"Well, in that case, then come with me."
…
Soon, the two of them had circled the path several times in the park, and Little Chengzi finally noticed something strange.
"Why do you keep going in circles? Is my brother really here? You'd better take me to find him quickly, otherwise I will go to your school and sue you for lying to children!" Xiao Chengzi threatened.
When Li Jianjian heard this, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded and thought to himself: Are primary school students so difficult nowadays?
"When do you plan to leave?" Li Jianjian tried to change the subject to ease the embarrassment.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What does it have to do with you?" Xiao Chengzi retorted unhappily.
"Of course it does matter. Once the annoying guy is gone, my brother will be mine alone!" Li Jianjian proudly declared his "sovereignty."
Not to be outdone, Little Chengzi said crisply: "Grandma said, that's my brother, he has nothing to do with you, you are just neighbors."
"Haha~" Li Jianjian smiled contemptuously, "No matter what you say, I can be with my brother every day and I am very happy, hum! A little bit~"
Looking at Li Jianjian's triumphant look, Little Chengzi stamped his feet angrily: "Humph!"
"Hmph!" Li Jianjian responded with a nasal sound not to be outdone.
The two of them were in a stalemate, humming and humming for a while, until Li Jianjian felt his mouth was dry and a little boring.
"What a childish ghost!" After saying that, she turned around and ran, and came to a high staircase, leaning on the railing and looking at the distant scenery.
The surface of the lake was sparkling, and a few swans and wild ducks were swimming leisurely. Unexpectedly, they were disturbed by a little yellow cat. They were chased and fled in panic.
Several staff members held nets and chased the naughty kitten while sweating profusely. The scene was both funny and lively.
Little Chengzi caught up with him panting, and finally realized that he might have been deceived. He puffed up his cheeks with anger, as if he was about to explode in the next second, and raised his hand to give this annoying big sister a slap.
"Hey, this scenery is really beautiful, do you want to..." Li Jianjian just turned around to greet Little Chengzi, but unexpectedly, he just dodged and Little Chengzi stumbled and fell down the stairs.
"ah!"
Li Jianjian exclaimed, watching this scene happen, and he stood stunned on the spot.
His shoulders sank, and the little yellow cat appeared and comforted him: "Meow~"
[It’s not a big problem, it’s not easy to kill even a child!]
…
In a corner of the hospital, outside the ward door, Li Jianjian was sitting in a chair, his face full of remorse and guilt.
He Ziqiu accompanied her quietly, holding a hot water cup in his hand. Not far away, Li Haichao anxiously lingered at the door, thinking about the situation in the ward.
Just when the atmosphere was tense, Chen Ting burst in and pointed her anger at Li Jianjian: "Little Chengzi is still so young, and you are still taking her around. If something happens, who of you will be responsible??!"
Li Haichao hurriedly stepped forward: "I will be responsible. I will pay all the medical expenses."
"Is this a matter of money?" Chen Ting's eyes were cold, "If anything happens to Xiao Chengzi, even your life is not enough to compensate! And you, Li Jianjian, I want to hear how you take care of me
Hers? How did she fall?!"
Facing the question, Li Jianjian raised his head, his eyes were red, and his voice was as thin as a gnat: "I really don't know..."
Chen Ting was furious when she heard this: "You were with her, and you told me that you didn't know. Do you think I can believe it? I'll ask you again, how did you fall?"
At this time, He Ziqiu finally couldn't hold it back and retorted coldly: "As a biological mother, you left your seven-year-old child alone outside and asked her to take the bus to find Ling Xiao. Now if something goes wrong, we are blamed instead."
Go up? What’s our relationship with you? Are we still going to help you take care of your children?”
"You!" Chen Ting was furious.
The atmosphere was tense for a moment until Ling Xiao walked out of the ward: "Little Chengzi is awake."
Chen Ting glared at Li Jianjian fiercely and said, "If my daughter is good at anything, I will never let your family go." Then she hurriedly entered the ward to check on her daughter's condition.
Li Jianjian stood up, looked at Ling Xiao with empty eyes, and hesitated to say: "That..."
Little Chengzi's childish cry came from the ward: "Brother, I want my brother!" There was endless dependence and fear in her call.
Ling Xiao gently patted Li Jianjian's shoulder and comforted him in a soft voice: "Go back, it's okay."
Seeing this, Li Haichao quickly suggested: "Yes, let's go back first and don't cause trouble here. I'll prepare some food for you when I go back and ask Ziqiu to bring it to you."
"Um."
…
Five days later, it was half a month, and it was Friday night. There was a bright moon in the sky, and the silver light filled the earth, making it bright and clear.
Li Jianjian stood alone on the roof, looking across the night, staring dreamily at the corner of the community.
That is the alley that my eldest brother must pass through on his way home.
He Ziqiu quietly approached her, looked at her sideways, and then took out a lollipop from his pocket like a magic trick, and said with a smile: "Although Dad doesn't let you eat candy, he is sleeping deeply now, so let's enjoy it secretly
Take a bite! Come on, open your mouth, ah - you are so obedient!"
Seeing that his sister was still immersed in her own thoughts, He Ziqiu gently comforted her: "What's wrong, are you still thinking about that little bastard? It's not like you pushed her, Master Le said she fell down on her own, why are you sad?"
Are you stupid?"
"I'm not stupid!" Li Jianjian was finally amused, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"Then why are you sad? It wasn't you who fell?" He Ziqiu asked puzzledly.
Li Jianjian sighed softly, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes: "He is a child after all, and he has a fracture! Moreover, whenever get out of class is over these days, my eldest brother will run to the hospital and stay in the hospital. I have been there for several days." I don’t see him anymore, he must be very unhappy.”
He Ziqiu nodded in agreement: "Yes, it's strange to be happy when you face such a shameless mother and annoying sister all day long."
"So, it's my fault for causing trouble to my eldest brother." Li Jianjian's voice contained a hint of self-blame.
He Ziqiu couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Do you think that if Qin Meiyang had not broken his bones, the three generations of women from their grandmother's family would have let him go? The situation is already obvious. No matter where Ling Xiao is or what he does in the future, they will eat him for the rest of his life.
.”
When the conversation changed, He Ziqiu pretended to be mysterious and pulled Li Jianjian over, standing face to face, gesturing with his fingers and saying, "Let me, He Banxian, count with my fingers. Well, Ling Xiao will be back soon."
"Really?" Li Jianjian's eyes flashed instantly, and his excitement was palpable.
Ever since she was little, my brother has never lied to her.
"Okay! Then go and heat up the food in the pot. I'll greet you at the door!" Before he finished speaking, Li Jianjian was already jumping down the stairs like a cheerful deer.
He Ziqiu looked at his sister's retreating back and shook his head helplessly, with a doting smile on his lips.
Downstairs, in front of the door.
Like a cheerful bird, Li Jianjian pounced on Ling Xiao, who had just returned home, circled around him, and kept chirping: "Brother, you are finally back! Are you tired? Have dinner?"
?
Looking at you, you must be starving. There is still hot sweet potato rice in the pot, especially the half bowl of braised pork. It is rotten, moist, smooth but not greasy. It is simply a delicacy in the world! I specially left this for you.
I fought with Le Ye for three hundred rounds, otherwise I would have been robbed by my little brother and Le Yegua."
Ling Xiao tenderly stretched out his hand and gently rubbed the top of his sister's messy hair. His eyes were full of endearment: "I'm not hungry. I went upstairs and took a shower before going to bed. By the way, little spring, your hair is too.
It’s time to wash up.”
After saying this, he turned around to go back.
These days, he not only has to worry about trivial matters at home, but also prepares for the college entrance examination with all his strength. Various mock exams come one after another, which makes him physically and mentally exhausted.
"Brother!" Li Jianjian suddenly stopped him, his big eyes flashing with guilt, "I...I didn't expect things to turn out like this, I'm sorry!"
Hearing this, Ling Xiao couldn't help but bring up a warm smile. He strode forward and took Li Jianjian into his arms.
"Silly girl, what are you thinking about? I'm on your side! Okay, now I'm suddenly a little hungry again. Let's go back and enjoy the braised pork you specially left for me."
"Yeah!" Li Jianjian nodded vigorously, and the gloom on his face was swept away. He held his brother's arm tightly, and the two walked home side by side.
On the roof of the building, the little yellow cat was chasing a little black mouse until it ran away with its head in its hands and called out for its mother in a hurry.
