CHAPTER XXVIII

"Hey, hey, it's me."

When Deng Si'er saw him looking up, he scratched his head and smirked flatteringly.

"Hmph."

The man snorted, patted his left hand on his body casually, turned and entered the house, and was about to close the door.

"Hey! You wait! ”

Deng Si'er immediately jumped over, squeezed on the edge of the door frame, and said with a flattering smile:

"Don't! Brother Qiu Qi, I'm here to apologize to you, the morning is that the kid is not sensible, you must not be like me. ”

Qiu Qi heard Deng Si'er say his name, so he glanced at Deng Si'er again, Qiu Qi himself was gentle, and when he saw Deng Si'er's flattering and apologetic appearance, his heart softened, let go of the door, and said lightly:

"Come in."

Deng Si'er nodded hurriedly, fearing that Qiu Qi would regret it, and even flashed sideways into Qiu Qi's room.

Qiu Qi looked at Deng Si'er's expression and didn't change much, but turned around to prepare hot tea.

After Deng Si'er entered the house, he looked left and right, and the room he guessed the scholar lived in was about the same, bedroom, study, living room, and there were many books, paper, and pens.

Deng Si'er was already weak and lacked confidence, so after entering the house, he dared to look casually, didn't dare to go around, and after looking twice, he stood in the middle of the hall, waiting for Qiu Qi to come over.

Qiu Qi walked over and poured a cup of hot tea for Deng Si'er, which was light and light, but had a good aroma.

Deng Si'er smelled the fragrance, and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and no longer muttered in his heart like just now.

"Sit down, I don't have anything to entertain here, this is the tea from my hometown, if you don't dislike it, try it." After speaking, Qiu Qi sat down on the chair and looked at Deng Si'er.

Deng Si'er hurriedly said:

"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, this tea is very fragrant, it's much better than what I usually drink."

Qiu Qi listened to Deng Si'er's words, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled, his family was in the middle of the road, and it was not as frugal as in previous years, and his food and clothing were also much more frugal.

This morning, he had seen the two people beside Deng Si'er, even if they were wearing regular clothes, they still couldn't hide the extraordinary state of the two of them, they must be either rich or expensive. Why is the tea in front of this obviously underage child drinking worse than his own?

Deng Si'er didn't know Qiu Qi's thoughts, so he drank water from a teacup, and in order to show that he said 'he didn't dislike', he tasted tea very hard.

However, Deng Si'er, who basically didn't drink much tea since he was a child, smashed his mouth for a long time, except for the aroma of the tea itself, he couldn't taste anything else at all.

Qiu Qi looked at Deng Si'er's smacking mouth, and suddenly remembered his little brother, and couldn't help but laugh, even with the previous mustard is much less.

Deng Si'er didn't know that he had stumbled into it by mistake, which changed Qiu Qi's impression, and he still drank tea cautiously, while quietly glancing at Qiu Qi's face, thinking about what he wanted to say.

'Did you come to me for something?' Xianzhen 'I have already given it to you, do you think you have given too little, and you still have to rely on me?' ”

Qiu Qi watched Deng Si'er's every move in his eyes and said loudly.

Deng Si'er was taken aback, he didn't expect Qiu Qi to say such a thing, this was different from his original intention of coming, and he hurriedly put down the teacup and said:

"No, no, no, depending on what you say, how can I, Deng Si'er, be that kind of villain. I'm here to apologize to you. ”

As he spoke, Deng Si'er took out the small bottle of 'Revealing Truth' potion that Qiu Qi gave him in the morning from his arms, put it on the table in front of Qiu Qi, and continued:

"At that time, I fell into the lake and was scared, I didn't know how to water, and my potion was gone, so I yelled at you, and the more I thought about it later, the more wrong it became, so I asked people about you, thinking that I would come over and make a compensation for you. So what"

Deng Si'er paused when he said this, looked at Qiu Qi's right hand with a motive look in his eyes, and said a little embarrassed:

"Don't be angry, I don't know anything, I really didn't mean to."

"It's okay, I wasn't angry in the first place, you don't have to come over to apologize to me." Qiu Qi looked at Deng Si'er's very sincere face, and said with a light smile.

"That's good, that's good, you didn't say anything in the morning, threw me this bottle and left, I thought you were angry." Deng Si'er exhaled and thought, it's good not to be angry.

Deng Si'er looked at Qiu Qi, he had a lot of questions in his heart, but he was embarrassed to ask, and he was afraid that Qiu Qi would drive people away in a while, so he rubbed his hands in a hurry.

Qiu Qi looked at Deng Si'er's obvious expression of wanting to speak, smiled gently, and asked:

"Your name is Deng Si'er, right? Are you a student at the College? Seeing that you are not very old, why do you call the name 'Deng Si'er'? ”

Deng Si'er was in a hurry to open this mouth, and seeing that Qiu Qi spoke first, he hurriedly replied:

"I'm the fourth oldest in the family, and everyone calls me that, and today is my first time at the academy."

"No wonder, I look at you very much, coming to the academy like you, you must have good qualifications, right?" Qiu Qi nodded and asked again.

"Yes, yes." Deng Si'er wanted to ask Qiu Qiqi how to ask, but he didn't listen to Qiu Qi much, but just nodded 'yes'.

Deng Si'er was pondering in his heart, and suddenly realized that there was no sound, and turned his head to look at Qiu Qi, only to realize that Qiu Qi had been looking at him after listening to him.

"Hey, hey." Deng Si'er scratched his head and smirked twice.

"Is there anything else you can do? Before dinner, I went to the lake to sweep the floor, and I went after a while, and I was afraid that I would not be able to finish sweeping it when it was late. Qiu Qi said again.

"No, it's nothing, it's just ...... Don't mind that, I just have something I want to ask you. ”

Deng Si'er finally asked.

"You ask, but I won't necessarily answer you." Qiu Qi had already expected it since Deng Si'er entered the house, and nodded and said.

"I heard that you were the first student in the academy to sweep the floor, why did you sweep the floor? That one...... You're not...... Isn't it so convenient? After Deng Si'er finished speaking, he glanced at Qiu Qi's right hand.

"There's nothing to say about that, I ...... After the right hand was gone, the scientific examination was hopeless, at that time, the family was in the middle of the road, there was nowhere to go for a while, the master of the academy took care of me, so he let me stay in the academy to continue studying, and did not charge me a fee, I am grateful to the adults of the academy for their heart, sweeping the floor is to do their part, but also to be able to have comfort. Qiu Qi said.

Deng Si'er thought to herself, that weird old man didn't expect to be so kind.

"That...... I can ask, your hand is really your own ......" Deng Si'er asked carefully while looking at Qiu Qi's expression.

Qiu Qi's eyebrows drooped and nodded slightly.

"I also want to ask, ...... Why ......"

Before Deng Si'er finished asking, Qiu Qi suddenly stood up, his voice was deep, and he said to Deng Si:

"You've asked enough, I still have something to do, please come back."

Deng Si'er blinked in a daze, nodded and stood up and walked towards the door.

Deng Si'er saw that Qiu Qi was still gloomy, and he didn't dare to say anything more so he could only leave.

After Deng Si'er left, Qiu Qi looked at the potion bottle left on the table, looked at it for a long time, and suddenly grabbed the vial and threw it to the ground.

"Smack!"

"True!"

No one saw how sad and disgusted Qiu Qi's expression was when he said these two words......
