Chapter 177: Slam Dunk (14) Family Background
Sitting down at the dessert shop, Ji Qing glanced at the menu and put her mind at ease.
It's not cheap, but it's not ridiculously expensive, she still invites it.
"You can order it." Ji Qing put on a generous posture of being the east.
Bolan was also polite: "Let's get one according to the lucky package." ”
They were greeted by the nimble waiter yesterday, and seeing that today's boss's friend was not shy, he smiled and withdrew, without making up any more stories of congratulations on winning the lottery.
The dessert was quickly served, and looking at the bunch of delicate snacks and drinks sprinkled with Yangyang, Ji Qing finally felt a little distressed.
In the past two years, my brother has always let her have no worries about food and clothing, but she understands that it is not easy for her brother and never spends money indiscriminately. This table must be a few hundred smaller, right?
Usually she can't spend so much money for half a year.
Realizing that she had a completely different consumption outlook from the girl in front of her, Ji Qing became more and more convinced that this trip was the right choice.
It's just that if you can keep Hua Lan away from Qi Xing with all this money, it's still worth it.
"It seems that you like to eat desserts, and you don't feel tired of eating them together yesterday and today, don't you feel tired?" Ji Qing opened with such a sentence slightly.
She just wanted Bolan to misunderstand that Qi Xing told her, so that Bolan was suspicious of her relationship with Qi Xing.
Who knew that the surprise in Hua Lan's eyes flashed, and then she smiled: "How can you get tired of the things you like." ”
His eyes were crooked like crescent moons, and his tone was calm.
didn't ask Ji Qing at all, "How do you know that I ate it yesterday?" ”
"We also had the same set meal yesterday, you can try it, maybe you will like it."
The sentence "we" stung Ji Qing, her smile condensed slightly, took a sip of lemonade, shook her head and said, "I don't like to eat sweet." ”
"That's a pity." Bolan sent a mouthful of poplar branch nectar to her mouth, but she didn't take the initiative to ask Ji Qing what she wanted to say.
Ji Qing suddenly felt that this innocent-looking little girl might not be as simple as she looked from the outside, she was quite calm.
Still, what needs to be said is to be made clear.
"It shouldn't have been Qi Xing's payment yesterday, right?" Ji Qing looked at a table of desserts, raised her eyebrows, and asked a little exaggeratedly.
"How?"
"Qi Xing is usually very frugal, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he can't wait to break a penny in half to use it."
"Oh, that's right." Bolan nodded, "Originally, he was going to have a treat, but it just so happened that we won the free lucky package." ”
"......" Ji Qing was a little surprised, but continued to say, "I'm very lucky, but I can't be so lucky every time." Do you know Qi Xing's family? I grew up with him and know all too well how hard it was for him. ”
obviously met Qi Xing at the age of eight, but now it's only seven years, but Ji Qing has a vague concept and wants to create the illusion of a childhood sweetheart.
"The children in our alley are not from very good families. At first, the junior sports school came to pick people and selected Qi Xing, but a total of five people were selected at that time, and three of them felt that the training was hard and gave up directly. Do you know why he wanted to go? In order to train each time you manage the meal, you can also receive a subsidy of 20 yuan per day. ”
Later, he really started to like playing basketball, but his father's construction site had an accident and was seriously injured on the spot, and he is still lying in bed. In order to support this family, Qi Xing's mother works during the day, works at night, and often helps other people's families wash clothes, which is too hard. ”
"Originally, his mother also engaged in massage and health care at home, but not long after, a man did something to her, with bad intentions, in front of Qi Xing's father! Fortunately, my brother happened to pass by and drove away the scoundrel, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable! ”
After Qi Xing found out, he immediately said that he would stop playing basketball and no longer study, and he would go out to work to earn money to support his family. But his mother stopped him, saying that if he dared to give up his studies and basketball, the whole family would die together. ”
"Is this kind of life far away from you? Can you imagine what it's like to see a loved one affected but unable to do anything about it? Do you know how heavy it is to carry the family's dreams on your shoulder? ”
……
Ji Qing's expression was a little excited, not so much to tell, but more like an accusation.
Bolan listened quietly, and was silent for a while.
knew that Qi Xing's family background should not be good, but he didn't expect him to be so difficult.
Bolan couldn't help but take a sip of Qi Xing's favorite orange juice, but her mouth was full of bitterness.
That sourness flowed all the way into her heart, stabbing her with pain.
"Your brother, it's Huang ...... Hair? ”
"Hmm." Ji Qing replied in a daze, it was strange to say so much to herself, but what Bolan cared about was who her brother was.
It's really yellow-haired. Bolan, who confirmed her thoughts, nodded.
Just because Huang Mao once saved Qi Xing's mother, the matter of his intimidation before will be written off!
Bolan didn't mean to express her feelings, so Ji Qing continued: "So, Qi Xing is different from you. He can't make a mistake every step he takes. He doesn't have the qualifications and energy to talk about a love that is destined to be fruitless. ”
"I know you like Qi Xing very much, and you're a good girl. I don't think you want him to get hurt, and you want him to get better and better, right? So, why don't you turn a close liking into an appreciation from a safe distance, you say? ”
Ji Qing's eyes were sincere, but with irrefutable insistence.
Who knew Bolan and understood her bitter heart, but asked in confusion: "Why is it that I and him are destined to have no results?" If one person is hard, why can't two people go down together? ”
"You mean you want to use your family's resources to help him?" Ji Qing couldn't help but smile sarcastically, "Not to mention that Qi Xing's self-esteem is so strong, it is impossible to accept all this." Basketball is also a sport that requires real skills, there is no room for half a grain of sand, Qi Xing is talented, he may not really be able to get ahead, and no one dares to pack a ticket. Do you think your family is willing to gamble with their only palm jewel? ”
In the end, it is still a flower in a greenhouse, the real world is not a fairy tale, and the door has always been an insurmountable mountain.
"Senior Sister Ji Qing, thank you for telling me so much. I see what you mean. Bolan met her gaze, "But in my life, I still want to make my own decisions." Do you really not eat it? Then I'll pack it...... Sister waiter, packing, thank you. ”
Bolan wiped the corners of her mouth and said, "In addition, I just joined our school's school basketball team yesterday, and the most important thing for me at this stage is to be able to participate in the basketball league. Our first game in Tianhai seems to be against Xiang Yun, and we look forward to meeting our senior sister on the court. ”
Ji Qing suspected that she had misheard.
What is this mini little girl in front of you talking about? She, playing basketball league?
Ji Qing, who could easily look down on Bolan even if he was sitting, suddenly became confused.
