When it comes to the person Jolene admires the most, she will definitely rank her sister first. Even the compliment she wants to hear the most is that she is "more and more like her sister". Qiao Nan is the same, for him, his sister is also a teacher and friend, and has served as his life mentor for a long time.

Both of them regard Qiao Lu as an idol, but as everyone knows, Qiao Lu envies them all the time.

The most envious thing is not because they have a direct blood relationship with this family, but - they all have good friends, the kind of friends that can be with each other for a lifetime.

Needless to say, Jolene's two "little hair" spent almost half of their time at Qiao's house, growing up with her, even if they were noisy, they didn't change their friendship, and the piles of small notes they wrote can still be found now. The two Lin have quarreled since they were children, and they have said "breaking up" countless times, but usually on the second day of breaking up, they hugged each other and cried bitterly, saying that they would never be separated in this life...... Adults are often amused by the hypocritical children, but they are still best friends when they grow up.

Not to mention Qiao Nan, he doesn't like to care, and he is not informal, and his popularity has always been very good. After graduating from the military academy, his good friends were scattered all over the world, and he often took his lover to his former classmates to visit the great rivers and mountains of the motherland as soon as he took a vacation. Of course, that was many years later. It's just that back then, if he was not popular, where could he borrow money to buy a house so easily?

When Qiao Nan decided to take the postgraduate entrance examination, Qiao Lu vaguely remembered that his good friend also wanted to take the postgraduate examination, and their unit was so tightly stuck, they would definitely not let go of the two people at the same time. The one who can't take the test, will he hold a grudge against Qiao Nan? Will the two fall out because of this?

Qiao Nan had never thought about this problem, so he was stunned for a while and said, "Sister, you're thinking too much." We've all worked hard together, and it's not as serious as you think. ”

Afraid that his sister would be worried, Qiao Nan added: "When he was going to take the postgraduate examination, I gave him the opportunity, but he didn't catch up with the good time, and he complained and complained, so he could only accept his fate...... We're not kids, we're not so narrow-minded, we can understand these things, don't think about it. ”

Qiao Lu was relieved, and a little melancholy-if she could be in an environment like Qiao Nan, how good would it be?

It's not that she's not born reluctant to associate with people, but she's experienced the deepest malice prematurely.

During that few hours of dating, after settling down with her sister, Qiao Nan told Wen Jing that her sister used to have friends. It's just that she unilaterally believes that the man is her friend.

In the distant 1998, Qiao Lu was admitted to the experimental class of No. 2 Middle School with the first score in the city. On the first day of school, a girl sat next to her and greeted her warmly: "You are Qiao Lu?"

"Hmmm......"

"Look up for a long time!" the girl stretched out her hand and said with a smile: "My name is Wang Chao, I want to be at the same table with you, okay?"

The girl had short hair, a very masculine name, and a sunny smile, which was not the same type as the quiet Qiao Lu at all. But Qiao Lu was somehow moved by her, acquiesced to her request, and let her sit beside her.

In the stressful experimental class, most of the students are silent and quiet, and in the midst of a bunch of nerds, Wang Chao is definitely an outlier. She is very lively, energetic, and smiling every day, as if the pressure is just someone else's, and it has nothing to do with her.

But anyway, her grades are still very good. Like Qiao Lu, she doesn't live in school, and she still has a period of disposable time to go home at night. Qiao Lu usually learns around twelve o'clock, and if her classmates ask, she will not hide it, which causes the boarding students in the class to be indignant - day students have a lot more study time than boarding students, which is really unfair!

Qiao Lu didn't know how to respond, so she simply lowered her head and read the book, no longer paying attention to other people's remarks. Wang Chao defended with them, asking them if they didn't hide under the bed to study after the lights went out in the dormitory? The dormitory students didn't want to argue about this issue anymore, and Wang Chao said that she usually went home to sleep, and never let her study delay her sleep.

As soon as this statement came out, the students were speechless, but some did not believe it. Wang Chao said confidently that as long as he manages his time scientifically and does not need to study extra, he can still achieve good results.

Now everyone is really completely dumbfounded, and they admire her "scientific time management" method. But one day, the representative of the math class collected the papers, Wang Chao searched for a long time and didn't find it, and there were words in his mouth: "I must have finished it, I did it at two or three o'clock last night, how could it be gone?"

The math class representative teased coldly, "Didn't you go home and rest?"

Wang Chao was stunned, but he didn't stop in his hand, and continued to rummage through the papers. The moment she found the roll, she smiled calmly: "Occasionally there is too much homework, and I will stay up late!"

The math class representative smiled and didn't ask any further questions.

But anyone can see that Wang Chao's dark circles are much more powerful than Qiao Lu.

But she didn't admit to staying up late to study, I don't know if it was to establish the image of a genius, or to paralyze her opponents. In the midst of speculation, the students gradually leaned more towards the latter.

So, many people privately told Qiao Lu that Wang Chao was probably not such a simple person, and she was dark in her heart.

Qiao Lu didn't take it to heart, anyway, at that time, Wang Chao was just her tablemate, and he was not her particularly close friend. As long as the two of them are safe, as for what kind of person she is, Qiao Lu doesn't care very much.

Although Wang Chao's results are top-notch, he is always crushed by Qiao Lu. She still maintains a clear face, and shows a variety of interests and hobbies, as if she is at ease and not a nerd. Most of those who can enter the experimental class are competitive. But many people's competitiveness was defeated in front of Qiao Lu, and Wang Chao was no exception. She didn't care about it, and even teased her classmates - Qiao Lu's first place is really as stable as Mount Tai.

Even in the past year, her family has experienced major changes, her mother is ill, and her family is poor, she still takes the first place, I really don't know what this is for. Many years later, when her classmates teased her like this again, Qiao Lu just smiled - where is there anything to hang on? It's just hard work.

Back then, Qiao Lu knew all about how her classmates ridiculed her, but she was neither humble nor arrogant, she continued to study hard and make progress every day. In the entire first year of high school, she only missed the first place in her grade once, which was in a monthly exam in the first semester of high school, and she was overtaken by a boy in the second class of the experiment by 1 point.

Although it is only this time, its significance is extraordinary, those who have been crushed by Qiao Lu all the year round have seen the hope of rising, and they are full of strength to surpass her. Qiao Lu herself didn't want to take those challenges to heart, but she would inevitably let out a sigh when the pressure was great.

She forgot when she sighed, but remembered that her tablemate Wang Chao comforted her: "Qiao Lu, if you are too tired, you can take a break." ”

Qiao Lu nodded.

Wang Chao took out his CD player and said, "Why don't you take this and listen to it first!" I brought a CD of Leslie Cheung and Faye Wong's, if you are tired of studying at night, you can listen to it!"

In the distant 1999, those who could afford to use CDs were also very good. Qiao Lu didn't want it, but if she refused the kindness of her tablemate, it seemed that she was too unkind, and her tablemate felt very disappointed. After some excuses, Qiao Lu still put the CD up and said, "Thank you." ”

Qiao Lu has been immersed in study all year round, rarely touches pop music, and is brainwashed by her younger brother's "Sad Pacific" every day. That night, after finishing her homework, she gently put on the headphones of the CD, and the gentle and soothing music went straight to the bottom of her heart.

That night, she heard Leslie Cheung's singing seriously for the first time, and noted down the male star with picturesque eyebrows and a beautiful voice. At the age of sixteen, the most emotional age, Qiao Lu gradually became obsessed with his charm and couldn't extricate herself.

The next day, when returning the CD to the same table, Qiao Lu was a little reluctant. Wang Chao was keenly aware of her reluctance, so he said generously: "You just continue to listen, if you like to watch his movies, I will lend you the DVD." ”

Qiao Lu was a little embarrassed: "No need, you lend it to me, I don't have a DVD at home." ”

"That'...... Come to my house when you have time!"

Facing the kind invitation from the same table, Qiao Lu nodded: "Okay, thank you." ”

Wang Chao didn't seem to be satisfied with this result, and she still insisted on lending the CD to Qiao Lu. Qiao Lu was a little strange, she was wondering, was she too sensitive? because Wang Chao's gaze was ...... It's not so much warm and friendly as shrewd and treacherous.

Qiao Lu was simple-minded and didn't think badly, but her self-esteem made her unable to accept other people's "kindness" like this. Although she still can't forget her brother's beautiful voice, she decided to save up for her own cassette tapes, and it doesn't matter if the sound quality is poor, as long as she is comfortable.

Wang Chao knew that Qiao Lu liked her brother, and when Qiao Lu celebrated her birthday, she also gave Qiao Lu a CD, which moved Qiao Lu badly. Wang Chao took the opportunity to invite her to her home on the weekend to watch the movies her brother had acted. Qiao Lu hesitated for a moment and agreed.

Wang Chao is an out-and-out fan of Leslie Cheung, and his family has a collection of all the movies he has acted in. They can only rest for a few hours on weekends, so they only watched one "Farewell My Concubine". In this movie, Qiao Lu was completely conquered by her brother's acting skills, and she had never chased a star, and she had the urge to chase a star for the first time.

This impulse is implemented in action, that is, she will also go to the newsstand to read entertainment magazines, and she will also discuss the bits and pieces about Leslie Cheung with her tablemates. Wang Chao is very excited, not the excitement of having a confidant, but similar to the excitement of seeing competitors continue to sink.

Although Qiao Lu has the intention of chasing stars, she is not crazy, after all, her love for her brother is based on appreciation, and she is not blindly immersed in the world of chasing stars. Approaching the end of the term, Wang Chao found a lot of newspapers for her to read, Qiao Lu thanked her for her kindness, put all the newspapers on the desk, and read them when she was tired of studying.

Since failing in the last monthly exam, Qiao Lu has not shown a winning posture, she even looked through entertainment magazines, and felt a little self-defeating. The teachers were also very anxious, but they felt sorry for this hard-working girl in their hearts, and they couldn't bear to accuse her, so they only occasionally knocked on her and told her not to forget her Tsinghua dream.

How could Qiao Lu forget? She has always been reluctant to explain, and only wants to speak with her grades. At a time when everyone thought she was going to suffer a tragic setback in her final exams, she returned to the first place in her grade.

Facing the dumbfounded classmates, Qiao Lu once wrote in an essay: "The human brain is also a rubber band, I collapsed too tightly before, it is about to break; ”

Everyone had to obey, but Wang Chao tore up a newspaper fiercely. She set up all kinds of baits, and Qiao Lu did not sink completely, and no matter how hard she tried, she was also Qiao Lu's subordinates.

Qiao Lu didn't realize it, and even bought a small notebook for her, thanking her for opening the door to a new world for herself, and for the first time, she offered to continue to go to her house to watch movies during the summer vacation.

Wang Chao immediately put away his anger and burst into a sweet smile: "Okay." ”
