CHAPTER XLVI
Li Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief. Because her mother packed her things overnight and fled abroad. But she still has a conscience, and left a sum of money for her before leaving, which is enough for her to use for several years.
Finally, she no longer has to work part-time to make money, and she has returned to her previous life. If there's anything that can distract her, it's Jiang Qu. This guy has kept his distance from himself since he was training in the teaching office that day. He didn't even accept or pay her back the money. Only occasionally bumped head-on, and the kind of looking and inquiring look he looked at her always made her very uncomfortable.
"Lately, everyone has been paying attention when they come home from school," the head teacher said as he opened his textbook and looked at everyone, "I heard that there were several robberies near the school a few days ago. You must pay attention, go home from school and don't stay around, protect yourself, you know? ”
"Oh, I know" Song Zhiyi echoed with the other classmates, turned his head and whispered to Li Mingyue: "Cut, then cancel the evening self-study, it's dark so early in this winter, you should let us go home early out of consideration for our safety, right?" ”
Li Mingyue glanced at her: "How is it possible, what do you think, we are now juniors in high school, it's good not to give extra classes, and you still expect to cancel the evening self-study?" ”
Song Zhiyi pursed her lips and said something, but her eyes met the sharp eyes that the teacher shot at her. Shrink your neck
hurriedly lowered his head and pretended to read a book.
Li Mingyue turned her head to look out the window.
Sure enough, the night in the depths of winter was very diligent, and it was in a hurry to change the shift with the day just after five o'clock, and half of its body had already moved from the west, and it was estimated that it would occupy the whole city in less than twenty minutes. Boys and girls from other grades in the playground were flocking to the school gate slowly, hurriedly, or playfully. Jiangqu should be among them.
Retracting her gaze, Li Mingyue sighed in annoyance. Because the teacher stared at them, she deliberately said those words for fear that his stubborn nature would cause some trouble. She knew that those words must have hurt him a little, but only in this way could he stop the abnormal behavior he might make, after all, he confessed stupidly in front of the teacher.
She was bored and troubled here, but she didn't know it, thinking that the teenager had been waiting for her in the bookstore across the street from the school, or more precisely, secretly waiting for her.
Jiang Qu waited in the bookstore for three hours, going back and forth to read an exercise book four times before waiting for Li Mingyue's figure to come out of the school gate. He hurriedly put down the workbook and rushed to the door, grabbed the handle of the glass door with his palm, but held his breath and stopped pushing the door out. Her eyes were firmly fixed on the figure of Li Mingyue who was slowly walking towards the bus stop on the opposite side, and when she walked out for a long time, she finally pushed the door open and walked out.
He followed her, keeping a distance she wouldn't notice. It was already completely dark, and her figure looked hazy and ephemeral against the illumination of the street lamps and the snow on the road. Jiang Qu needs to work hard to keep his eyes open and stare at her for a moment, so as not to lose her figure.
I followed her silently and walked for ten minutes, and finally arrived at the bus stop where I was waiting for the bus. Through the cover of the billboard, Jiang Qu slowly approached her. There were few people at the bus stop on a winter night, and Jiang Qu looked at the other people waiting for the bus slightly, and only after finding nothing abnormal did he retract his head. There is no other reason, it is after hearing that there is a robbery case nearby, out of worry and wanting to protect, he took this 'silent tailgating' approach. And this is the third day he's been protecting her in this way.
The bus came very slowly, freezing so cold that Li Mingyue's toes were numb, and he came slowly like a sleepy old scalper.
Naturally, there were not many people in the car, so Li Mingyue chose the position of the second row of double seats in the front and sat down by the window. She pulled out her phone, took out her English book, and began to memorize words. Jiang Qu cautiously followed behind a sturdy old man, and sat in the car at the back, diagonally diagonally, where Li Mingyue could be seen.
He still stared at her without blinking. She seemed to be drowsy from the slow and swaying bus, and after yawning several times in a row, she finally couldn't help but fall asleep.
The car had already passed five or six stops, and the empty seats were almost occupied. A middle-aged man with a scruffy beard and a shiny face looked left and right for a while, and then fixed his eyes on the vacant position next to Li Mingyue. Raise your foot and walk in that direction, seeing that your ass is about to touch your seat. was squeezed away by a Cheng Biting Jin who was killed halfway.
Jiang Qu always felt obscene when he looked at this middle-aged man, and when he saw that he was going to sit next to Li Mingyue, he was even more alarmed, and his actions reacted before his thoughts. A few lunges flew over to squeeze him out of the way, and he quickly sat down.
"Hey" The middle-aged man who was squeezed aside frowned and shouted dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing, you are sick" looked down at their school uniforms of the same style, thinking that the two children probably knew each other, so he didn't say anything, glared at him, and walked to the back and sat down.
Jiang Qu turned her head to look at Li Mingyue, she seemed to be sleeping soundly with her eyes closed with headphones, and she didn't know all this. It's just a low hanging head, gently shaking with the frequency of the bus.
At this time, the driver braked suddenly, and the people of the car fell forward violently with inertia. Li Mingyue was no exception, seeing that her head was about to hit the back of the chair that protruded in front of her. Jiang Quyan quickly stretched out his hand, blocking the gap between her and the back of the chair.
Li Mingyue's forehead was in the soft and warm palm of Jiangqu. It didn't hurt, so she didn't wake up. It's just that his head is against that hand for a long time, and then he slowly maintains this position as if he is unconscious in a deep sleep, and twists his face to the side with his back to Jiang Qu.
Jiang Qu's hand was always stuck between her and the back of the chair. He didn't dare to move, he didn't dare to make too much noise. can only maintain this awkward posture. stared blankly at the back of her head.
Li Mingyue felt that her junior brother was really a little stupid. Because if he had diverted his attention a little, he would have been able to see her funny expression with a sly smile through the reflection of the car window.
After four more stops, Li Mingyue finally arrived at the station. When she heard the radio at the newspaper station, she rubbed her eyes and slowly raised her head. And Jiang Qu really withdrew his hand with lightning speed. I hurriedly got up and ran to the corner of the back of the car.
After that, he naturally followed her and got out of the car again, until he watched her enter the community. He turned and walked back.
Li Mingyue only turned around at this time, and stuck out her tongue at the back of Jiang Qu from afar: "Stupid."
