Chapter 6: You and I
A man got on the bus, missed the rush hour, and sat in the back corner.
18.15 points displayed on the phone.
I held my bag in my arms and leaned against the window to see the dead sky outside.
There's probably going to be a heavy rain, but hopefully I'll be able to get out of it.
Unfortunately, it takes at least 40 minutes to get from school to the nearest bus stop to your home.
As the raindrops fell to the window, I looked down at the coat and bag on my arm. I thought that if I ran hard, maybe when I got downstairs in the community, I wouldn't be too embarrassed.
After getting off the bus, I hesitated for a few seconds under the stop sign, then stuffed my coat into my bag and started running against the heavy rain.
I'm not afraid to get my hair and clothes wet, I just want to get home quickly.
When I entered the door wet and changed my shoes at the entrance, I already smelled the cold smell inside.
As expected, it was empty.
I changed my wet clothes and threw them into the washing machine just when I got a text message from my mom. She said, Qi Qi, I won't come back for dinner tonight. There are leftovers in the fridge, you can heat them up and eat them yourself.
I texted back, hung my laundry on the balcony, went back to my room, got under the covers, and fell asleep with my head covered.
When I woke up, I was woken up by a burst of music, reached out and grabbed the mobile phone on the bedside table, and after a few random strokes, I heard Qian Mao's voice come crisply, "Wang Qi, you are at home!" ”
I opened my eyes and turned off the speakerphone, then put my phone to my ear, "What's the matter?" ”
"I'm almost at your door, you come out and open the door."
I immediately bounced out of bed and yelled impatiently into the phone: "Why are you coming to my house, didn't you tell you not to come to my house?" Hurry up and turn me around, it's annoying enough to see you at school every day. ”
"Don't be verbose, I'm already at the door."
"Go back."
"Okay, I'll call Aunt Lin and ask her to open the door for me."
"Count you ruthless"
"Then open the door quickly, White Rabbit."
Hanging up, I was already standing in the doorway, and then opened the door with a grumbling look in my eyes.
Qian Mao was greeted by a harmless smile, he handed the plastic bag he was carrying in his hand to my eyes and shook it, "Boss, your dinner is here, please sign for it together." ”
I burst into tears and laughed, and my body, which had been blocking the doorway, retreated to the right.
He was suddenly stunned, pointed to the ground, and suddenly gathered his brows in a straight line and said to me: "Wang Qi, you ran out without wearing shoes, are you stupid?" ”
Only then did I notice the coolness coming from the soles of my feet, and I quickly took out the gray slippers in the shoe cabinet and put them on my feet.
Qian Mao followed me and took the slippers that were a few sizes bigger next to me and put them at my feet, and due to the limited space, he touched my arm when he bent down to untie his shoes. It was cooler than the floor, and I was shocked.
Then he took the plastic bag in his hand, looked at the black coat he put on his body, and asked nonchalantly, "It's still raining outside?" ”
Qian Mao nodded disappreciatively, "Yes, it hasn't stopped." Then he looked up at me, "Have you been drenched?" ”
I shook my head, and he smiled with satisfaction and pulled me into the living room, "That's good, isn't it useful for me to stuff the umbrella under your desk!" ”
It didn't rain at all when I left, and I didn't expect it to rain.
This brain-dead doesn't know how to put it in his school bag?
turned on the TV, and as soon as he sat on the sofa, Qian Mao walked out with a large plate of fragrant crayfish.
"Isn't Aunt Lin at home? I have to buy her share. ”
I nodded with a stream of salivation, and when he was firmly in front of me, I immediately stretched out my magic grip and aimed at the largest crayfish.
Qian Mao slapped my fingers with disgust on his face and ordered, "Wash your hands first, I'll go get the bowl." ”
I jumped off the sofa in displeasure and obediently followed Qian Mao to the kitchen to wash my hands.
suddenly remembered that Aunt Zhou didn't come out of the stall on a rainy day, so he asked the person next to him who was holding a bowl in confusion, "Qian Mao, isn't Aunt Zhou not out of the stall when it rains?" Where did you buy it? ”
Qian Mao looked back at me and replied proudly: "How simple is this, I called and asked for the address of Aunt Zhou's house, and then went to her house to buy it." ”
"If you die, wouldn't it be the same if you bought it at other homes?"
He rubbed the back of his neck and looked down at the ground: "Don't you like to eat theirs?" ”
At that moment, I didn't know that it was a mistake. Looking at his long fluttering eyelashes and broken hair on his forehead, his face burned like a fire, and the air around him thinned.
Afraid of being discovered, he turned around and strode out of the kitchen.
I patted my chest to calm myself down.
You see, I'll just say that Qian Mao is a dangerous person, and you can't get close.
The variety show on TV was just about time for the commercial, and I looked at the wall clock on the wall, and it was 8:40.
The mess on the table was very unsightly, so I kicked the shin of the person next to me, "Qian Mao, you go and wash the dishes, my mother should come back later, you'd better leave my house before she comes back." ”
Qian Mao looked at me suspiciously with blinking eyes, "Wang Qi, we are not in an underground relationship, why are you hiding from Aunt Lin?" ”
"Why do you ask so much, just leave as soon as you finish washing the dishes."
He nodded, honestly cleaned up the things on the table, and went to the kitchen with the dishes and chopsticks.
Halfway through, I heard the sound of washing dishes from the kitchen.
Because my obsession with variety shows was too high, half an hour passed, and I realized that Qian Mao's kid was still tossing in the kitchen.
Whose child washes the dishes for so long, this kid wants to stay on it, right?
I got up and hurried to the kitchen, and in front of me was his back staring at the window in a daze.
Dare to play Qiong Yao drama, I suddenly got a little angry and yelled, "Qian Mao, what are you doing?" ”
He turned his head slowly, looked at me expressionlessly, and then answered the question, "Wang Qi, you are very smart, if someone says something in front of you that you don't understand, you can know what they are talking about by looking at their expressions!" ”
I clasped my hands around my chest and smiled proudly, "Now I know that the person who scolds Miss Ben for being stupid is actually a stupid person." ”
Qian Mao shook his head helplessly, and his bright expression seemed to be affected by the weather.
At this time, the sound of the rain became quieter and quieter, and his eyes that stared at me without hesitation suddenly seemed to be covered with a layer of haze.
Time may blur my memory, but I always remember the day I first met Qian Mao.
He stepped out of a black sedan I hadn't seen before, and his gaze narrowly swept the gaze gathered around him. My heart sank for a moment, probably because I was so nervous the day before that my stomach was very upset, that even this inconsequential gaze became important. I walked to the school gate with breakfast in my arms, and sneaked a sneak peek at the people walking briskly past me. He happened to be looking at me too, but he retracted it for a few seconds, with a faint disdain.
It may have been just wariness of strangers, but at that time I felt a deep sense of oppression.
Back now, I was a meter away from him, and he took a step forward and asked me stupidly, "Then why?" ”
I already felt that something was wrong, but my legs couldn't move uncontrollably.
No one knew I was trying to get out of here.
Qian Mao took another step forward, "Why did you choose to hide what was in front of you?" ”
I hurriedly interrupted him, "Since it was my choice, I thought about the price when I chose it." ”
He suddenly laughed, "Really? Have you ever thought about what the price is? Wang Qi, are you afraid? I was scared, that's why I was cautious for so many years. ”
"Qian Mao, can we stop talking about this?" I smiled and tried to stop him, but the tip of my nose grew more and more sore.
I really want to tell him that Wang Qi, who shows off her power in front of you all the time, is actually a coward, and she doesn't dare to face her mind easily because she is afraid.
In that way, you will always be the one who opposes her on the one hand and spoils her on the other.
"Wang Qi, will you tell me?" Qian Mao finally walked in front of me step by step, and then grabbed my shoulder and kept shaking, "Wang Qi, tell me!" ”
"What's wrong with you" I didn't realize that my voice was already crying, my palms were shaking, I said, "Let's not talk about this, okay?"
Qian Mao was finally stunned, and there was a touch of tenderness in his eyes. Then, when I was defenseless, he leaned over and took me in his arms and remained silent for a long time.
His clothes hadn't dried yet, and I could smell the scent of laundry detergent that had evaporated after drying it was wet.
I don't think I had a reason to refuse this hug, it wasn't because the wind from the window was chilling me.
It's that I'm just as longing, with the same mood as you. It's just that I don't know if I will bury this relationship with my own hands in the future.
When I sent Qian Mao out, I handed him the umbrella.
He took it without raising his head, and said softly, "I'm leaving!" ”
I nodded heavily, staring intently at the wound on his forehead that had just been punctured.
"Hey, Qian Mao, why are you here, come to play with our Qi Qi?" I don't know when, my mother actually stood beside Qian Mao with a bag in her right hand and a plastic bag in her left hand.
Look, no matter how sensational a scene is, if a bystander is there, it will become tasteless, and even rotten.
Qian Mao's face was like a bitter gourd just now, but he forced out a smile at this moment, "Yes, Aunt Lin, I'm too bored at home, so I'll come and see her." ”
My mother patted Qian Mao's shoulder with relief, "How good this kid is, hey, don't you two see each other every day at school?" ”
Qian Mao couldn't answer for a while, so he had to look away.
My mother seemed to see that she was tired, so she hurriedly said, "Qian Mao, don't stand outside the door, go in, Auntie bought fruit." ”
I hurriedly walked over to block in front of Qian Mao, "Mom, no need, it's time for him to go home so late." ”
"It's okay, it's late anyway" My mother was simply, and Qian Mao was not polite, and obediently followed into the house.
I deliberately left the door open, but in exchange for my mother's roar: "Why are you opening the door, close it for me." ”
"Oh"
In the living room, Qian Mao and I stared wide-eyed, and neither of us forgot to turn on the TV to ease the atmosphere.
As a result, I just sneaked over and wanted to tell Qian Mao to let him leave after eating.
Unexpectedly, my mother suddenly came over with a fruit bowl, and my movements evolved into strange postures.
My mother glared at me warningly, and handed a piece of watermelon to Qian Mao.
Qian Mao politely replied with a thank you.
I picked up the watermelon and took a big bite, and my mother's disgusted voice came from above my ear, "Look at your gobbling up, you haven't received a love letter at school!" ”
Qian Mao burst out laughing, and the gloom in his heart seemed to dissolve the moment he looked at me and smiled.
When it comes to this topic, that's my sensitive point. You can say that I am not beautiful and have no temperament, but you can never say that I am not chased. That's just not uncommon for me.
So I didn't even think about it and retorted to her, "Do you use it?" What age is it, and besides, the boys at school who have been molested by me can do radio gymnastics in a row. ”
After hearing this, my mother was even more exaggerated than Qian Mao's laughter, and she couldn't straighten her waist and pointed at me and said, "You are embarrassed to say it if you are a hooligan." ”
"Who's a hooligan? I didn't think it was interesting to be chased. ”
"Come on, dead duck has a hard mouth."
"Mom, you're questioning my charm, I've received a lot of gifts and invitations to dinner lately!"
"Who?" Qian Mao said coldly next to me, I was stunned, and suddenly I couldn't speak.
Who knew that my mother coaxed out of time: "Sure enough, only Qian Mao can cure our family Qi Qi." ”
I glanced at Qian Mao and held back the words.
Secretly scolding yourself for not being angry, and if others are unhappy, you can still coax them in the open.
My mother took Qian Mao's hand and sighed, "Anyway, Qian Mao, Auntie really thank your family for introducing me to this job." Otherwise......"
I suddenly got up when I heard the word "work", knowing what she was going to say next, and coldly dropped a sentence and went back to my room after I went to sleep.
