CHAPTER XVI

Jiang Qiao slept groggily all day, and when he woke up, it was already the beginning of the day.

There was a small orange lamp in the room, and the dim light showed warmth. On the table there were meals left by her mother, and small notes telling her to take her medicine on time. On the first day of the holiday, she developed a high fever.

Turn on the phone, and the WeChat prompt of "Ding Dong Ding Dong" keeps sounding. There are Su Xi's, there are flying fish, and Pei Yi's.

Xiaoxi Dingdong: Aqiao, are you alright? I heard...... Are you seriously injured?

The remaining ten are all about concern.

Jiang Qiao smiled silently and replied that it was okay. As far as Lin Weiwei's mouth was concerned, she couldn't wait to tell the whole world how she was showing off her might, asking her cousin to stand up for her, and cleaning up Jiang Qiao fiercely.

Flying Fish asked her why she didn't train in the gym today, and she replied that she was sick.

And Pei Yi's is the most concise and heart-wrenching, with only three words.

"Beaten?"

What did she do with this? She simply locked the screen, threw her phone aside, and lay down again.

After a while, the phone was another "ding dong".

Uncle Pei: Come down, I'm downstairs from you.

Jiang Qiao sat up and leaned on the window to look down. Sure enough, there was really a person standing in the cold wind, although the dim light made Jiang Qiao not even see what clothes the person was wearing, but she could tell at a glance that that person was Pei Yi.

How did he get here?

Jiang Qiao was still hesitating whether to go down, and the phone screen lit up again.

Uncle Pei: If you're late, you know.

……

In a nearby bubble tea shop, Jiang Qiao sat opposite Pei Yi in full gear, with a hat, scarf, and mask...... Cover it tightly. In fact, she could have done without a mask, but the bruise on her face has not subsided, so it is better to cover it up for fear of receiving additional ridicule.

Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. In the end, Jiang Qiao felt that it was impossible to expect Pei Yi to speak first, so he simply broke the silence.

"Uncle Xiao, why are you here?"

Pei Yi raised his eyebrows and immediately said, "What, as your elder, shouldn't I come to visit the junior who was beaten?"

Jiang Qiao: "......"

She knew that this man would not have good words when he opened his mouth.

Pei Yi sneered, and said, "You can do it now, you have only studied kung fu for a few days, and you dare to fight with others?"

Pei Yi is very wrong today, although he has always had a poisonous tongue, but he seems to have never been like this, and every word he says seems to be accompanied by a wave of anger.

"Uncle Xiao, I ......"

"What are you? Do you think I don't know you have a wound on your face if you wear a mask?

A series of questions came to Jiang Qiao's heart, and Jiang Qiao's heart suddenly sour, full of grievances.

She was beaten, defeated, and even ridiculed and ridiculed, but she didn't feel wronged. Skills are not as good as others, and they are willing to bow to the wind. Only at this moment, facing Pei Yi, she couldn't even say a word of rebuttal. I remembered Lin Weiwei's ridicule that day: "You idiot still want to learn to practice martial arts, don't laugh at the dead!"

After a long silence, it was not until the mist of hot tea in the cup completely dissipated that Pei Yi slowly spoke: "So, are you planning to give up?"

The slender fingers were distinctly jointed, rubbing on the rim of the cup, Pei Yi's face couldn't see any emotion, in fact, he kept playing a small drum in his heart. In just half a year, he witnessed the growth of the girl in front of him and slowly began to understand her. Frankly speaking, at the beginning, he just helped her casually, whether to learn or not, and how much to learn was her own choice. But I don't know when he started, he was gradually moved by her seriousness and persistence, and slowly began to look forward to her. So at this moment, he was suddenly a little scared, and he really heard her say that she wanted to give up. He......

"I'm not going to give up. ”

Jiang Qiao raised his hand and took off the mask, revealing a bruised cheek on the right side, "I never thought of giving up martial arts. ”

The expression on Pei Yi's face was imperceptible, and he immediately asked, "Then what do you think?"

What do you think?

Jiang Qiao closed his eyes, and a few clear big words immediately popped out of his mind.

"I want to win her. ”

At this moment, Jiang Qiao made this decision and opened a new life for her.
