"Leaf ...... Qinghe? When Fu Zhenyan saw her, he was obviously extremely surprised, and even his pupils seemed to dilate at that moment.

This reaction made Ye Qinghe feel funny, is she so terrible? Isn't he more terrifying? With his reputation, many classmates in the school talked about "paying" color change.

"Hello, Fu Zhenyan." She nodded slightly.

"This ...... Also a child? Jiang Lao asked with a smile.

"Grandpa, he's our classmate." She simply introduced, and seeing that Jiang Lao was not frightened, she was relieved.

"Oh? Let's go have some tea, right? "Jiang Lao's habit, every time he arrives at about three o'clock, he will go to an old teahouse near here to drink tea.

"No...... ......" Fu Zhenyan lowered his head, and suddenly ran away, so fast that people couldn't react.

"You classmates...... It's weird. Jiang Lao couldn't help but smile.

Ye Qinghe was also surprised, but Jiang Zhiyong said, "Maybe he feels inferior." ”

"Low self-esteem?" Ye Qinghe immediately understood what he meant: Fu Zhenyan was a student who dropped out of school, and he felt shameless in front of them......

But, will it? Fu Zhenyan really thinks so?

Not necessarily......

However, a passerby-like classmate, she didn't think deeply, and helped Jiang Lao to the teahouse.

This teahouse has the feeling of old Beijing, with square tables, covered bowls of tea, imitation carved wooden doors and windows, and some people in the lobby say that they are commenting on books and singing drums. When Jiang Lao is in a good mood, he will also listen to it outside, and if he is tired, he will go into the private room, just drink a bowl of tea, and talk to the two juniors.

Today, Jiang Lao went directly to the second floor, obviously tired.

Because it was an old customer, the waiter was already very familiar with it, and immediately went to the Longjing, which was loved by Hujiang.

It was too boring to sit with the two juniors and drink tea with him, and every time Jiang Lao would give them some snacks or something, but Ye Qinghe rarely ate it.

Jiang Lao picked up the tea bowl, gently flicked the tea leaves with the lid, the tea smoke swirled around, and said with a smile, "Girl, don't you think I'm boring as an old man?" ”

"Grandpa, how could it be?" Ye Qinghe's words really came from the heart. When she first came out to accompany Jiang Lao, it was because of Xiao Chengxing's face, but she had more contact, and she found that Jiang Lao was wise and loving, erudite and good at talking, and with Jiang Lao, she could not only learn a lot of things, but also feel an indescribable sense of serenity and dependence. She didn't know where this feeling came from, maybe because she had no home and lost her father, she preferred to get along with the elderly.

"Then why are you always so polite? Feeling constrained? Jiang Lao admires the quiet girl in front of him very much, not as noisy as most girls, to be honest, he is old, afraid of making trouble, always so gentle and quiet existence, dignified and graceful temperament, but people can't ignore her existence, if, this girl can really become his granddaughter How good it would be, I don't know if Zhiyong has this ability when he grows up.

"Grandpa, no. Qinghe likes to talk to his grandfather, and he has benefited a lot. ”

Jiang Lao's eyebrows relaxed, "That's good, people now, we are all busy, we old guys are forgotten corners, it's rare that you two don't dislike me." Qinghe, it's really fate, I just feel that I fell in love with you, and we are also forgetful friends! ”

"Yes. Grandpa Jiang and Qinghe also feel the same way. Seeing that Jiang Lao's tea was half drunk, she stood up and skillfully refilled the water for him.

Jiang Lao smiled, "What do you feel the same way?" Feel the same way I'm an old guy? ”

"Grandpa...... That's not what Qinghe meant! She was in a hurry to defend herself, revealing a rare little girl's appearance.

Jiang Zhiyong watched from the side, smiling silently.

"Qinghe, you have a good foundation in calligraphy and painting, are you still learning?" Jiang Zhiyong has seen her pen calligraphy, seen her art work, and understood and marveled at the extraordinary and versatile nature of this girl.

Ye Qinghe shook his head, "No." ”

"Why not keep learning? How about Grandpa Jiang taking you as an apprentice? Jiang Lao also heard his grandson mention this, and he had already intended to take her under his door.

Ye Qinghe's eyes fell on the teacup in front of her, the tea leaves stretched and swirled in the green tea soup, sinking to the bottom of the cup, and her thoughts also sank into those memories, "Thank you Grandpa Jiang, Qinghe learned miscellaneous things but not fine, and he was afraid of hardship, calligraphy and painting were only learned when he was a child, just to cultivate his temperament, to avoid impetuosity and impetuosity, but he didn't have the talent to go deeper, Grandpa Jiang was wrong to love." ”

This can be regarded as a polite refusal.

Saying that she has no talent and is afraid of hardship is really a bad excuse.

Jiang Lao didn't force it, and asked the waiter to bring Go and play against Jiang Zhiyong.

Go thing, Ye Qinghe really doesn't know it, but he didn't feel bored, he watched quietly, and gradually understood a little, sometimes he interrupted the two people who were playing against him to ask some idiotic questions regardless of the rules, which often made the grandparents laugh, and the atmosphere was very joyful.

An afternoon passed easily, and every time Jiang Lao invited her to dinner, she always refused, so she had to send her home.

As soon as he came out of the teahouse, Ye Qinghe felt a familiar shadow flashing and hid in the corner.

She frowned and walked to the intersection with Jiang Lao and Jiang Zhiyong.

However, after walking for a short while, she always felt that someone was following her, and she looked back suspiciously, but there was no trace.

Jiang Lao seemed to notice it, and said to her, "Qinghe, your little friend is looking for you?" ”

Jiang Lao's words confirmed her guess, it was really Fu Zhenyan......

She simply turned around and shouted into the empty alley, "Fu Zhenyan, you come out!" ”

Quiet.

A few seconds later, a figure stepped out from behind the wall. Thin, tall, with his cotton jacket wide open, his hands in his trouser pockets, his messy short hair fluttering in the wind, a few patches covering his eyes, giving his thin face a decadent look.

He walked towards her. A little uncertain retreat, even timid.

Two meters away from her, he stopped. Didn't speak, didn't go any further.

"Are you looking for me?" Ye Qinghe stood opposite him and asked.

He flicked the hair that covered his forehead, making her vision in front of him clearer, silent, and set his eyes on the ancestors of the Jiang family.

Jiang Lao was a smart man, understood what this meant, and said with a smile, "Is it me, the old man, who is hindering your children from speaking?" Then we'll take our leave first, and you have to be responsible for sending Qinghe home! ”

Jiang Zhiyong listened and said urgently, "No! Grandfather! Can't let Qinghe be with him! He beat Qinghe! ”

"Oh?" Jiang Lao looked at Fu Zhenyan with inquiring eyes, and of course, his eyes were sharper.

"I'm not going to hit her again." The first time Fu Zhenyan spoke, his speech was very slow, heavy, low-pressure clouds in such cold weather.

"Do you want to apologize?" Jiang Lao asked with a hint of a smile.

Fu Zhenyan lowered his head again, looking at his toes without saying a word.

Ye Qinghe also thought so, gathered his scarf in the wind, and said, "If it is an apology, there is no need, Fu Zhenyan has already passed." ”

Fu Zhenyan still didn't speak, but he refused to leave, stubbornly standing two meters away from her.

"......" Ye Qinghe waited for a few seconds, and seeing that he didn't react, he turned around and prepared to leave.

As soon as he turned around, he heard Fu Zhenyan's retention, "Ye Qinghe, wait." ”

She stopped and turned back.

Fu Zhenyan took two steps forward and came to her side, his eyes eager, "Ye Qinghe, I have something to tell you." ”

Finally in a hurry?

She shook her head secretly, and said to the ancestors of the Jiang family, "Grandpa Jiang, Jiang Zhiyong, I'll stay for a while, you guys go first, it's okay." ”

Jiang Zhiyong didn't worry about her alone, Fu Zhenyan's reputation in school was too bad, "Qinghe, I'll stay with you." ”

"No need, Jiang Zhiyong, I'm fine! Even if someone really wants to rob me, Fu Zhenyan will definitely be better than you in the fight! You go first with grandpa! ”

Jiang Zhiyong was speechless, what he was afraid of was Fu Zhenyan, okay?

However, Ye Qinghe's attitude is so resolute, is his persistence useful?

In the end, he left with Jiang Lao in a very unwilling situation, and kept looking back as he went.

"Okay, Fu Zhenyan, you can say anything you want!" She stood across from him, and the wind blew her bangs flying in both directions.

He saw her little face frozen red covered by glasses, and saw the white vapor coming out of her mouth when she spoke, and couldn't help asking, "Are you cold?" Let's find a place to sit down and talk. ”

Ye Qinghe really felt cold, in this winter, the two of them stood on the street chatting, not to mention others, even she herself would think that she was sick!

So I didn't refuse, and followed Fu Zhenyan to a small restaurant.

Fu Zhenyan asked her to order.

To be honest, she doesn't want to eat out, but she has already come in, so she can't just drink a glass of water in the restaurant, right? casually ordered two dishes, which made Fu Zhenyan quite unhappy, "Are you saving me money?" ”

"No, it's just two people eating, there's no need to waste it. Moreover, I eat very little. This is one of the reasons, and the second reason is that I don't want to owe the mantra anything......

In the latter sentence, Fu Zhenyan agreed, "That's right, you should eat more and gain weight, now it's too thin!" Skinny ......," he wanted to say, so thin that he couldn't even do it. But this sentence swirled in his mouth and went back.

Remembering the purpose of coming to her, he hesitated for a moment, plucked up his courage and said, "Ye Qinghe, I want to tell you I'm sorry." ”

She had expected this before, and shook her head, "It's really unnecessary, Fu Zhenyan, I've said it all, it's already over." ”

"No, I don't just apologize for beating you that day, I apologize for hiding the facts."

Ye Qinghe felt that his thinking was very strange, since he knew that he shouldn't hide it, why should he hide it? Since you have concealed it, and now you have to apologize, what is the point of concealing it? She shook her head again, "Forget it, Fu Zhenyan, I believe that you must have a reason to conceal it, there is no need to apologize." "Anyway, now Zhang Meng and Yu Murphy are also honest, especially Yu Murphy, who hides when he sees her and Xiao Yiting.

It was originally a perfunctory sentence, but I didn't expect Fu Zhenyan to admit it, looking at her eyes were magical and strange, and her eyes were bright and shiny covered by a few pieces of hair, "Ye Qinghe, they all say that you are a different girl, you are really different......"

What's the difference between "......"? Multiple noses or multiple mouths?

"Really, no one has ever said this to me, in the eyes of everyone, everything I did was wrong, then, I was wrong to the end!" He shook his head and shook off the strand of hair that always liked to hang on his eyes, "Ye Qinghe, thank you for listening to my explanation." I kept it a secret because I promised them not to say their names. I will do what I promised to do. ”

Sure enough, it's strange logic......

"So, even if it's wrong, you're going to do it?" She couldn't help but ask.

He blinked, "When have I done it right?" ”

...... "Well, she gave up talking to him and bowed her head to drink.

"Ye Qinghe, I knew I was wrong, so I dropped out."

The water she drank almost squirted out, "You dropped out...... Does it mean that you know your mistakes and change them? "She's out of logic, okay? What's right?

"It's not...... I mean, I dropped out of school to punish myself. He hurriedly explained.

"......" then this punishment is too much...... Is he masochistic? "Fu Zhenyan, you really don't need to be like this, you are about to take the college entrance examination......"

"I can't pass the exam anyway!"

"......" This is the second time she has heard such words recently, but she has to admit that this is the truth, Wang Zhe still has a year and a half to work on, and Fu Zhenyan is telling the truth...... "Then, what are you going to do?" She didn't like to meddle in things, so she asked for no reason, squatting in the jade market like him, did she want to pour jade?

His eyes lit up, "That's my second purpose for looking for you." Ye Qinghe, you should be my master. ”

"Division! Father! Did she hear it wrong?

"Yes! I worship you as a teacher, but I don't have much money now, don't think my price is too low, and when I have money in the future, I will repay you doubly. ”

Ye Qinghe believed that he really heard correctly, "But...... What can I teach you? ”

"Jade! Ye Qinghe, you know jade! Right? Fu Zhenyan's fanatical eyes at that moment simply worshipped her as an idol.

"I ...... It's just a little bit of a scratch about it...... Really ......" She felt that it was difficult for her to speak, and she didn't usually show off much, how could she pay the truth to know that she understood jade?

"That's better than I don't even know the skin! Master! That's it! I'll call you Master! I pay the truth and am a refreshing person! I will definitely honor you well in the future! ”

Is there anything more funny about "......"? The muscles on her face twitched, "Fu Zhenyan, I'm only sixteen years old, I really don't need anyone to be honored......"

"Then I'll protect you! With me, no one can bully you in the future! What do you think? ”

“…… Fu Zhenyan, why are you so interested in jade? She was a little curious.

Fu Zhenyan was silent for a while at the moment, "I treat you as a master before I tell you." I am not my parents' biological son, they brought it back from the welfare home, my parents are very good to me, although the income is average, I can eat and play everything for the best, they expect me to have a big income. It's a pity that I'm not a student and I disappointed my parents. Later, my mother gave birth to a younger sister, my sister was smart and beautiful, and her grades were good, so my mother gave all her love to my sister, and from then on, I began to become bad, playing with people outside, making trouble all day long, just hoping to get my mother's attention and care for me again......"

His words caused ripples in Ye Qinghe's heart, it turned out that he, like her, was also a child without parents......

"But I know that it's all because I don't fight, and then I tried to work hard to get good grades like my sister to show my mother, but no matter how hard I tried, I always couldn't understand what the teacher was saying in class, and textbooks were tantamount to ......books for me."

Fu Zhenyan lowered his eyelids.

Ye Qinghe didn't dare to look at him like this, for fear of seeing another self on his face; She didn't know if there were tears rolling and struggling in those drooping eyes, at least there were in her eyes behind the lenses......

She is a cold person, but it does not mean that she is cold, as long as she hits the most vulnerable point in her heart, her tears will burst out......
