Chapter VIII

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it has been more than a month since Jiang Qiao joined Yanwutang. Every day, in addition to the thunderous morning jog, it is to soak in the martial arts hall to practice boxing. After going back and forth like this, one day at dinner, her mother finally couldn't help but ask, "Qiaoqiao, why have you lost so much weight recently?"

Jiang Qiao pulled a piece of sweet and sour fish chop into his mouth, and at the same time put another bowl of soup, and said vaguely: "Hmm, probably because I have been exercising a lot recently......"

Jiang Qiao's mother didn't know that her daughter had secretly started her martial arts career, and thought that she was talking about the morning run, so she was very pleased to encourage: "Come on, Qiaoqiao, work hard, mom supports you!"

Jiang Qiao nodded vaguely, and happily added half a bowl of rice.

There's no way, who made her consume too much recently, even if she eats a lot every day, she still can't stand the weight loss.

Jiang's mother put a piece of pork ribs in her daughter's bowl, and asked, "By the way, how is Xixi's situation lately? Why haven't I heard you talk about it in the past two days?"

Jiang Qiao choked for a moment, and then remembered that she hadn't visited Su Xi for a few days, and suddenly felt a little weak, she went out every day to visit Su Xi's signboard.

"Well, she'...... It's good, it's slowly recovering......"

This is the truth, Su Xi's injury has almost healed, and his mood has improved, at least he has talked a lot on WeChat in the past few days, and he has not mentioned dropping out of school again.

"I'm still not at ease, so let's find a day to accompany Xixi back to the hospital for a recheck, it looks like school is about to start, don't affect her studies anymore." ”

Jiang Qiao's mother, Yu Huizhen, is a nurse at the Second Hospital, and Su Xi has been taking care of her mother and daughter in turn for a few days when she was hospitalized. Su Xi has only one grandmother in the family who is not very good in her eyes, and she has never dared to tell her because she is afraid that the old man will worry.

Yu Huizhen got up and packed up the dishes and chopsticks and went into the kitchen, and her voice floated out: "In addition, I will also go to your school when school starts and talk to your homeroom teacher, the children are too messy now...... It's not going to go on like this. ”

Jiang Qiao bit his chopsticks without squeaking, and fell silently into deep thought.

It's time to start school......

In the afternoon of the next day, Jiang Qiao asked Lao Wu for a long time to pretend that something was wrong, and then sneaked out of the door under Pei Yi's nose.

Unexpectedly, two minutes later, I immediately received Pei Yi's WeChat.

Fei Yi (remarks: Uncle Pei): ?

Golden Horn King: What's the matter, Uncle Junior?

Uncle Pei: Looking for another opportunity to be lazy?

Golden Horn King: No, no, Uncle Xiao was wronged...... I'm really in trouble.

Uncle Pei: Hehe, the training will be doubled tomorrow.

Golden Horn King: ......

It's so ruthless.

Pushing open the courtyard door of Su Xi's house, a fragrance of soaphorn came to the face, and the yard was full of freshly washed sheets and quilt covers, shining with a fresh luster in the sun. Behind a dripping sheet, a figure swayed, vaguely revealing two tender white slender calves.

Jiang Qiao was playful for a while, and the cat bent around and wanted to pounce on the girl's eyes, but the girl just happened to get out of the way, Jiang Qiao jumped into the air and hit the iron shelf behind her, and the sound of ping-pong bells alarmed Su Xi's grandmother in the house.

"What's wrong?!Xixi?"

Su Xi was also taken aback by this movement, and after coming back to his senses, he hurriedly came up to help Jiang Qiao: "Ah, Aqiao, you, you're not, are you okay?"

I'm afraid she can't get better when she stutters in a hurry. Jiang Qiao waved his hand at her, signaling that he was fine, and then turned over and got up, and shouted into the house: "It's okay, it's okay...... Mother-in-law, it's me and Xixi who are joking......"

Grandma Su Xi in the back room heard Jiang Qiao's voice, and a smile spread on her face: "It's Qiao Qiao...... Come in and sit down......"

Su Xi's house is an old bungalow courtyard, which is a bit old. In the middle of summer, the cicadas in the courtyard full of trees are singing and roaring, tirelessly. Jiang Qiao was sitting cross-legged in Su Xi's room at this time, looking at the quiet girl with needles and threads next to her.

Su Xi was sewing and mending the hole in her clothes that she had just accidentally made, and her white and slender fingers firmly pinched a silver needle, shuttling flexibly in her clothes. Su Xi's grandmother used to be a famous embroidery girl in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and Su Xi has been a true heir and has been ingenious since she was a child. When Jiang Qiao was a child, she played around outside and torn her clothes, all of which Su Xi secretly made up for her.

At this moment, Jiang Qiao's gaze fell on the wrist of Su Xi's left hand, there was a watch there, the style of the dial was very old, but the strap was a blue cloth strip embroidered with patterns, which was wrapped around the wrist, and it was even very good-looking. The scars on Su Xi's wrists had already healed and were almost invisible, except for a particularly deep one, which was hidden under the layers of wrapped cloth at the moment.

As if noticing Jiang Qiao's gaze, Su Xi's hand shrunk, looking a little uncomfortable. Jiang Qiao looked away, pretending to ask casually, "Xixi, school is about to start, have you finished your homework?"

This is the old rule, Jiang Qiao copied Su Xi's homework from the small to the big. But at this moment, her attention was all on the sentence "school is about to start", and she wanted to know Su Xi's reaction.

Sure enough, Su Xi was stunned, and his mood instantly fell.

"Ah, Aqiao, I ......"

Jiang Qiao tossed and turned last night, thinking about how to convince Su Xi that she must not watch her good friend drop out of school, otherwise her efforts during this time would be in vain. Of course, any girl who has experienced such an encounter can imagine the shadow in her heart, let alone Su Xi, who has been hiding behind Jiang Qiao since she was a child.

After thinking about it, Jiang Qiao felt that "heart disease still needs heart medicine".

"Xixi, haven't you already won the place for the college entrance examination training for art students?"

Su Xi is quite talented in art, so the art teacher also favors her. According to her own plan, she plans to take the path of art candidates. The school also specially arranged a training camp for art candidates, but the number of places was limited and there were many people competing, so the unpopular Su Xiao stammered was able to be selected, which really made some of the unsuccessful people unhappy, so there was the bullying before the holiday.

Su Xi didn't speak, and a glimmer of expectation appeared in his eyes, which soon dimmed again. This opportunity did not come easily, and she did put in a lot of effort, but ......

Jiang Qiao looked directly into Su Xi's eyes and asked softly, "Xixi, do you want to give up......"

Su Xi was stunned for a moment and shook his head slightly.

"That's right, if you really give up like that, then you really make those who hurt you happy......"
