Chapter 17: Admitting Mistakes

The road of Shushan is difficult to travel, and the water of the forgotten river is unpredictable.

Jasper hides makeup, and coral hides the bag.

Always look after each other, lest people peep.

Once you show your face, there is no vastness in this life.

After that day, Jing Xuan recuperated at home for some time because of a broken finger. Except for Deng Junhan, only Xue Mengzhu knew the truth about Jing Xuan's injury.

That night, Qiu Se did not return all night. When I arrived at Jing Xuan's house, the phone was already out of power and turned off. The next day, Qiu Se rushed back to school early in the morning, and wanted to pretend to be okay as Jing Xuan said, but as soon as he saw Xue Mengzhu, tears unconsciously welled up, and he was afraid that others would see it, so Qiu Se asked the teacher for leave and went back to the dormitory. Xue Mengzhu saw that something was wrong with her and wanted to go back, but Qiu Se said, "You go to class first, and I'll tell you when you come back." According to Jing Xuan's words last night, he instructed Mengzhu, if Xiaoxiang and Mo Jia asked, they would say so.

Back in the bedroom, Qiu Se had no intention of washing, climbed directly onto the bed, and looked up at the ceiling in a daze.

The indifference when Jing Xuan sang last night and the fierceness when he fought lingered in Qiu Se's mind. But after that, he didn't say a word about seeing Qiu Se singing in the bar before. What does he mean by that? Qiu Se only felt panicked and annoyed, but he couldn't tell what it was like. In the midst of that complicated emotion, Qiu Se fell asleep unconsciously.

She had a dream.

In the dream, there was a little fox with red fur and a long tail. It knelt in front of a temple and was very religious. The sun shone on her body, and the red was enveloped in a layer of golden light. Its eyes are not as narrow as those of ordinary foxes, but round and aura. It folded its front paws together and half-stood upright, as if praying for something. On the snow-white face, the small mouth was chanting, but Qiu Se couldn't hear what it was saying. Qiu Se tried to hear clearly, and saw a snow-white feather—a crane, wounded, half-lying on a high rock between the cliffs, and it looked like it was dying......

Before he could figure out why, Qiu Se was pulled back to reality by the sound of the door opening.

She sat up from the bed in a daze, because she hadn't slept all night before, and there was a noticeable dark blue under her eyes. It's Xue Mengzhu who is back.

"You don't have a good face," Meng Zhu wanted to denounce Qiu Se's unexplained disappearance last night, but when she saw her gray face and soft hair lying on the side of her face, she became worried again: "What happened last night?" Where have you been? ”

"Xiaoxiang and Mo Jia didn't doubt it, right?" Qiu Se was still worried that something else would go wrong.

"Don't worry, the prevarication has passed." Mengzhu suddenly covered his mouth, his eyes widened: "You won't be ...... You won't be ......"

"Where do you want to go," seeing Mengzhu's reaction, Qiu Se was speechless. "I'm going to admit my mistake to you." Qiu Se blinked his eyes, looking pitiful, "I didn't listen to you, I went to the bar to sing......"

"I'll just say that you're not in the mirror lately," Mengzhu said in her Wu Nong Mandarin, looking fierce but not scary at all, "Every day Jing (tight) is nervous, it turns out that he is busy (hiding) me!" So, you were last night? ”

As soon as she mentioned that Qiu Se was about to cry last night, she said with tears in her eyes: "I didn't expect to meet Jing Xuan there, for me, he fought with someone else and broke his finger." ”

"Huh?" Mengzhu pushed his glasses, "What's going on?" ”

Qiu Se told Mengzhu what happened last night, especially the scene of Jingxuan's fight, which was so wonderful that Mengzhu was dumbfounded: "Ah? Will Jing Xuan still fight? "Jing Xuan is usually gentle and elegant, peaceful and modest, no one would have thought that this guy would look like he would die when he got into a fight, right?" So how is he doing now? I said why didn't he come to class today, the teacher didn't even call his name, and I thought he had changed schools again. ”

"Rest at home," Qiu Se ruffled the ends of his hair with his fingers, "I owe a lot of favors." ”

"Don't think like that, in that situation, even if it's not you, Jing Xuan won't sit idly by."

"Yes. But this time it's because of my injury. How shall I repay him? ”

"How to repay? It's better to make a promise with life (body)! "Meng Zhu is a person who doesn't smile, and he has been with Qiu Se for a long time, and he also jokes.

"What nonsense! It's not that you don't know that Jing Xuan has a girlfriend. I don't want to be loved. Qiu Se lowered his head, a look of frustration.

"Qiu Se, do you like Jing Xuan?"

Qiu Se didn't expect Mengzhu to ask like this, hearing this, she raised her head suddenly, and a look of uncertainty flashed in her eyes, "Of course you like it, you don't like it?" Qiu Se didn't mean to change the concept, she really didn't know how to answer.

Mengzhu looked at Qiu Se deeply: "There are some things that you know best in your star (heart)." ”

"Mengzhu, I don't like you talking to me like this." Qiu Se looked into Mengzhu's eyes.

"Qiu Se, girls are always moths to the fire in their feelings, I don't want you to get hurt." Mengzhu said sincerely.

"I know you're doing it for my good. Don't worry, Jing Xuan and I are just friends, just like between us. Qiu Se said to Mengzhu, but more like admonishing himself. In two days, you can accompany me to see him! ”

"What do you mean to accompany you, that's also my friend! Of course you have to go! Mengzhu put the book that had been holding in his arms back on the desk, and pulled Qiu Se up: "Go wash your face, let's go out to eat!" ”

As if he had suddenly come to his senses, Qiu Se picked up the basin and the kettle and walked towards the bathroom.

Came to the bathroom and adjusted the water temperature, Qiu Se plunged her head into the water, rubbed her hair with her fingers, and unconsciously remembered Jing Xuan's indifferent face when she sang last night, she decided that when she had the opportunity, she must make it clear to Jing Xuan, and she couldn't give him any chance to misunderstand herself!
