Chapter 54: Snowshoeing
Embarrassed by Qiao Yixia's staring, Lucy ordered her coldly: "Let go of me." Qiao Yixia didn't move, but hugged her tighter, Luxi was angry, "This is the school, what kind of body is it to hug and hug in front of the public, and I will talk about it when I go back." ”
This snowy day is romantic, the plain white snowflakes fall on Lu Xi's eyelashes, like a butterfly dancing, Qiao Yixia can't help but admit it, the more she flatters her, the more disdainful she is, only Lu Xifei, a person who is close to her, can arouse her desire to conquer and make her can't help but get close to her.
Qiao Yixia slowly let go of her, Lucy took Qiao Yixia's hand, the boy gave them a pure black folding umbrella, the strong black and the single white echo each other, from a distance, it looks like a landscape painting, full of literary atmosphere.
Qiao Yixia stood on the inside, Lu Xifei walked outside, she did not wear gloves, holding the umbrella with one hand, leaning slightly forward, covering the snowflakes drifting, the umbrella is not big, it is inevitable that there is a bias, and naturally, Lu Xifei is biased to Qiao Yixia's side. From an outsider's point of view, Lu Xifei is like a person holding an umbrella, not a person holding an umbrella, shielding the woman next to him from the invading cold wind and snow all the way.
"I'll hold it up."
"No, you don't." Luci said resolutely, "I'm not cold, it's just that this umbrella is really embarrassing. ”
"The pure black umbrella is very plain, don't you like black, white and gray the most?" Qiao Yixia asked puzzled.
"There is a small villa at the back of my house, and there is a room in it dedicated to holding umbrellas, which should be written in Qingye's notebook." Lucie's hand holding the umbrella began to turn red, and the cold wind became more and more cold, and it was definitely a lie to say that it was not cold. However, no matter how cold she was, she could stay calm and never shiver, pretending to be really hot.
Qiao Yixia would flip through the kraft book given to her by Qing Ye in her spare time, and there was an entry in the catalog that was dedicated to writing umbrellas, which took up three pages, and it was full of writing, which was enough to see how high Lu Xifei's requirements for the quality of life were. According to Qingye, it is Lu Xifei's favorite umbrella brand, not only must you buy every umbrella, but also buy two identical ones of the same style, in order to show your love for this brand. In addition, there is an umbrella that is very popular with the British royal family and is designated as the only royal supplier, and the transparent birdcage umbrella is sought after by many people in high society. In short, Lu Xifei's obsession with umbrellas is almost a morbid one.
"Professor Lu is so snobbish, he must link his preferences to the level of price?" Qiao Yixia laughed, "Although the price of this umbrella is not expensive, the appearance is not ugly. ”
"If even the price can't match my status, then whether it looks good or not will be completely out of my evaluation."
Qiao Yixia raised the corners of her lips thoughtfully and nodded: "Okay, in that case, on your next birthday, I will give you an umbrella as a gift." ”
"I refuse." Lucy said categorically, "Aren't all birthday presents to be kept secret?" How can anyone say it in advance like you. No surprises, no new ideas. Sure enough, it's vulgar. ”
"I'll admit it, I'm vulgar." Qiao Yixia set his steps, snatched the umbrella over, held it in his hand, and saw that there was more and more snow on Lu Xifei's body, and his hands were red from the cold, and he couldn't turn a blind eye anymore, "If I'm not vulgar, how can I take a fancy to you?" ”
"Ahem." I didn't expect her to say that, Lucy pouted, and her arrogant appearance looked arrogant, "However, vulgarity is elegance." ”
Every time she talks about emotional issues, Lu Xifei always avoids it intentionally or unintentionally, but Qiao Yixia is also used to it, the way the two of them get along with each other now, and they don't necessarily have to jump over that line. Besides, neither of them has any experience in love, so they may not be able to properly manage the relationship between them.
"This doesn't look like Feng Chengcheng and Xu Wenqiang." Qiao Yixia just raised the umbrella, and was snatched back by Lu Xifei, Lu Xifei has always been like this, what she wants to do, no one can stop her, Qiao Yixia has no choice but to stop fighting with her.
"Feng Chengcheng? Also studying psychology? It seems that the attainment is not deep, I have never heard of it. ”
Qiao Yixia glanced at her, and it was really a typical representative of incomprehensible amorous style. When Shanghai was on the beach that year, how many people sighed and cried for the poignant love story of Feng Chengcheng and Xu Wenqiang, and the scene of the two walking in the snow touched the hearts of many people.
"It's the hero and heroine in the TV series."
"Don't compare me to that group of fictional characters." Luci looked ahead, clearly dissatisfied with the analogy.
"I just said that I was lonely and unheard, I think you are the only one, you have never heard of such a classic TV series." If you haven't seen it, you haven't seen it, and you also say that Feng Chengcheng is studying psychology, which is ridiculous.
Luci raised her voice abruptly: "Why should I watch such a boring thing? At the age of 14, I received a letter of invitation from the president of the University of Chicago, and at the age of 15, I received offers from Cambridge, Stanford, and Princeton. At the same time, you foolish mortals are watching this uneducational soap opera. ”
Qiao Yixia didn't mind Lu Xifei's cynicism, but asked, "So, which university did you end up in?" ”
Lucy exhaled, like a wisp of green smoke in the bitter cold weather: "Harvard University." Lucy Bloom slowed down and answered the question that Qiao Yixia was wondering about at the moment, "Because I want to know why I didn't get an offer." ”
There is no doubt that Harvard University is almost the most well-known university in the world and has been at the top of the list for many years.
"So, you were qualified to be admitted to these three prestigious schools before the college entrance examination?"
"So to speak."
Lu Xifei has been good at learning since she was a child, which is not only due to her diligence and studiousness, but also related to her natural high IQ, Lu Xifei jumped three levels in elementary school, and was only twelve years old when she graduated from junior high school, and took the IELTS and TOEFL exams in the same year, and achieved very excellent results. Lu Xifei has always been the pride of her family, and has won numerous awards since she was a child, except for the top three in the wrong answer sheet in the entrance exam of the first year of high school, the first position will always belong to her. For her, reading a book is the easiest of the many difficult things.
"If you went to Harvard, why did you go to Princeton for a Ph.D.?"
"I studied business administration at Harvard." So when she went to Princeton to study criminal psychology, it was something she really longed for and was full of enthusiasm for.
Qiao Yixia froze and looked at her playfully: "I don't know how many things you still have." ”
"If you want to know me, it's easy to know these things." There is a lot of information about her on the Internet, and these are just the basics.
"I'm sorry."
Lu Xifei was stopped by her sudden apology: "Why apologize, it is her right for a person to want to know or not to understand a person." ”
"Professor Lu, you are a genius among geniuses, and the brilliance you have achieved is something that most people in this world can only have in their dreams. Even I, who are arrogant and self-conscious, can't help but admit that you are indeed very powerful. But. Qiao Yixia changed her words and looked at her with an indescribable look, "Why can't I find your happiness from the first day I saw you." ”
"Yes." Lucy tilted her head indifferently and stopped looking at her, "I'm happy. ”
"Professor Lu......"
Luci threw the umbrella to the ground, his pupils dilated suddenly, and he was short of breath because of the bad feelings: "Didn't I tell you to call me pale?" ”
Lu Xifei can't remember the last time she was so angry, maybe it was when Lu Shuye was sick in the rain in order to help her buy raw fried buns, maybe it was when she couldn't write a paper. But it's already a far, far away thing. She doesn't like to lose her temper, she mostly chooses to hide her feelings in her heart, and she doesn't want to show her angry side in front of others, so that others can see her angry expression and see through her heart.
But now she can't control it.
A group of young girls next to him ran over holding hands, leaving behind a burst of laughter, in stark contrast to Luxi's loss of control at the moment. Luci lowered her head, took a breath, and walked forward without looking back.
Qiao Yixia didn't stop or stepped forward to hold her, she was also a very high-spirited person, after meeting Lu Xifei, she had gradually lost herself, or lost her heart, all she could do was to stand in place and watch her back as she drifted away.
Suddenly, Lucy froze, turned around, glanced at her, and she also raised her head, and the two of them looked at each other, and there were words in their eyes that neither of them could understand. Lu Xifei began to walk in the direction of Qiao Yixia, and when she walked to her, Lu Xifei reached out and took out the car keys from his pocket and stuffed them into Qiao Yixia's pocket, the joy of the students on campus seemed to be incompatible with their indifference at the moment, Lu Xifei took off his scarf and helped Qiao Yixia wrap around, in the process, they didn't look at each other.
Lu Xifei's back was so dazzling in this snow, inexplicably stabbing Qiao Yixia's heart.
Even if the two of them parted unhappily, Lu Xifei still didn't forget to leave her the car keys, and chose to take a taxi home by herself. Qiao Yixia's body has not yet healed, her right shoulder has not recovered, she has not driven for the past few days, but her normal life is still not affected. Lu Xifei didn't forget it, but the weather was so cold, even if she didn't open it, she still had to leave the car keys to her, so that she could feel more at ease.
Walking to the car parked not far from the school, Lu Xifei glanced at the school gate, but she still didn't come out.
"Get in the car, miss." The driver pulled down the window and said to the beautiful woman who was waving at his car.
"Master, can you park this car in front of the pastry shop in the back, and when I let you drive it later, you can drive it again." She then took out a stack of money from her purse and handed it to the driver.
No one has a grudge against money, let alone such a beautiful lady who has a request for herself, so the driver answered in one bite, let Luxi get into the car, and then turned around and drove back for a short distance.
Lucy took off her coat and folded it neatly before getting into the car, and then got into the car, holding her clothes in her arms, this was her first time in a taxi, the smell of inferior air fresheners in the car made her dizzy, Lucy Fei sat in the back seat, trying her best not to make her clothes contact with the seat too much, but that's okay, anyway, she will never wear this dress again, but this coat, she must protect it, so that no dirt is contaminated.
There are three kinds of people in the world who are the most talkative, one is a barber boy, one is a middle-aged and elderly woman, and the third is a taxi driver. This driver should be in the age of standing, it is the age of energy, as soon as Lu Xifei got into the car, one question after another popped up, and a steady stream of questions emerged in the driver's mind.
Until the driver asked Lu Xizhuo if she had a boyfriend who was a teacher at school or wanted to pick up her younger brother from school, Lu Xizhuo couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Sorry, I just got out of the hospital." There is no strength to speak. ”
"I was hospitalized at such a young age, and so was my daughter, who had just turned five years old and was a minor illness, and she either had a cold or cough all day long, which was worrying...... Girl, you look good, you don't look like a person who has had a serious illness, is it a minor illness that has not been treated in time, let me tell you, this minor illness must not be taken seriously, otherwise it will ......"
"Depression, the kind with suicidal and homicidal tendencies." Lu Xizhu's expression was indifferent, and the driver couldn't help but shudder when he saw her expression in the rearview mirror of the car, coughed dryly, and no longer dared to take the initiative to talk to her.
The heating in the car is very loud, but it is not as warm as Lu Xifei's car, the driver has been rubbing his hands to keep warm, in fact, he is not afraid of the cold, but since Lu Xifei said that sentence, and unfortunately he saw the expression full of anger, the cold in his heart can not be driven away.
"Follow the car in front."
The driver came to his senses, started the engine, and did not dare to ask who or why he was following.
This is Qiao Yixia's first time driving after being discharged from the hospital, in fact, she is not sure if she can drive safely, but she, like Lu Xifei, is really tired of the feeling of taking a taxi. So she drives very slowly, focusing on safety. Lu Xifei kept his eyes on the front, silently paying attention to Qiao Yixia.
Whether it is Qiao Yixia or Lu Xifei, it seems that they can no longer calm their minds. She wondered why she was so irritable and treated Qiao Yixia with such a bad attitude. And she wondered why she knew that Lucy was hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, but she still couldn't throw away her self-esteem, that woman was obviously kind to death.
Before meeting each other, they were two parallel lines, proudly and dazzlingly living in their own world, but after meeting, their loneliness, enthusiasm, indifference, and unscrupulous words collided together, rubbing huge sparks, but in fact, what they didn't realize was that they had already dismantled the carefully built and built with dignity and arrogance for each other's hands, and the solid city walls.
