"Okay, it's okay with you." Wang Qingye put away the small box, and his tone was as gentle as ever. He is a sensible person, and he is also one of the few people who know Zhang Xiaoxiao best.

It's just that love is always a matter of two people.

He sorted out his expression, even if the sea of bitterness in his heart rippled, he couldn't let the students see it from his face.

"Teacher Zhang Xiaoxiao is a little shy." Wang Qingye smiled, and swept the huge crystal chandelier out of the window, and the "friend" immediately ran to take care of it: "Don't look at her usually very serious, she is easy to run away at such a time." Hehe. ”

This sentence is half-true and half-false, Li Jiancheng scratched his ears, as if what he said was right.

After a few jokes, the stunned students gradually came to their senses. The palpitating force just now, if it fell on them indiscriminately, I am afraid that most of them would be seriously injured.

However, this is the Tius Academy after all. In the past, there was a precedent for Lu Yue to poison dozens of people in the hospital, and since then, she has to contain the medicine of suppressive power with the characteristics of "friend" in the academy.

Not to mention Su Qi, walking can hurt people.

Zhang Xiaoxiao just broke a chandelier, it seems that it is really nothing, and it should not be angry.

An Ran and Lu Yue, who knew the inside story, were also comforting them, and soon, the banquet returned to its original lively appearance.

The students were also allowed to come to today's party, and they could see a group of children much younger than them running around. Forgetting is of course the youngest in terms of age, but after experiencing the bullying incident, the intimate relationship with Zhang Xiaoxiao made most of the adapters polite to her.

Sun ruthlessly saw it in his eyes, but he was also very relieved. It's just that his eyes lightly swept over the boys who surrounded her, and he was inevitably a little vigilant.

Slowly growing up, under the care of the academy, gradually faded from the previous lack of confidence, the little face became fair, and the hairstyle was also carefully designed. Although she is only nine years old, she is still a child, but her big eyes and natural smile have begun to show her charm to the world.

You must know that half a year ago, she was still nested in the storage room on the demolition building, living a miserable life of eating the last meal without the next meal.

Just, is it really that coincidental?

The child he picked up on a whim received an admission to the College of Tius as an adapter. If I hadn't saved her, would this admission still come?

He vaguely felt that there was something strange in it, but seeing that he was now carefree, he didn't plan to think about it anymore.

It's just that this name should be changed, it seems to be a collision with a certain god.

Well...... Forget it, the author is also a street fighter anyway.

"Well, it failed." Just thinking about it, An Ran came up, she had just finished dancing with her classmates, and she was sweating shallowly.

"Well, it failed." Lu Yue also came up with a drink.

When it comes to failure, of course, it refers to Zhang Xiaoxiao.

"You didn't already know the outcome." Sun looked at her with a ruthless smile.

"We're helping you, if you stay in the banquet hall all the time, there's a good chance that Sister Xiaoxiao will really pull you on the dance floor." An Ran blinked and flicked the bangs in front of her very handsomely: "She stayed in the corridor alone, she should have thought about a lot of things." ”

"You know again?"

"Of course I know that ~ the teachers are students of the same class, and what happened back then is much more interesting than ours."

"Uh-huh." Lu Yue nodded on the side.

Sun Wuru waited for a few seconds, and they also ate in front of him for a few seconds.

Hey, these two guys, they're just going to whet his appetite.

"Hey, don't go. We have something to say. An Ran saw that Sun ruthlessly turned his head and left, and hurriedly grabbed him. Then, without saying a word, he took Sun Wuru out of the banquet hall.

Sun ruthlessly noticed that there seemed to be a few fewer people in the banquet hall.

The castle in the middle of the night, with heavy snow covering the Gothic spire, looks like a fairy tale world.

An Ran and Lu Yue made a silent motion, and the three of them sneaked up the stairs, and Sun Wuru heard the sound of squirming and talking.

Half of his face poked out of the corner, and Sun Wuru first saw another sneaky figure on the other side of the corridor, lying on the wall, not knowing what he was listening to.

Hu Qingyi.

She is similar to Zhang Lingqiu in that they both come from relatively poor families. But in the academy, she is already an excellent cadet with gifts. For some reason, she awakened to the same gift as Alice, and since then, Alice has done her best to nurture her. Now, this girl has a bit of Alice's domineering appearance.

Hu Qingyi seemed to notice Sun Wuru and the others, his brows furrowed slightly, and the whole person immediately disappeared into the air.

An Ran stuck out his tongue mischievously and motioned for Sun Wuru to continue walking upstairs.

A staircase leads to a tower, and through the narrow window, you can see what is happening on the terrace below.

Seeing the figures of these two people in the moonlight, Sun ruthlessly showed a wry smile.

Qin Chu'an, this guy, finally asked Zhang Lingqiu out.

The meeting half a year ago seems like yesterday. Who would have thought that the girl who came to the capital for the first time and forcibly took a stranger's car would also snatch the driver's heart.

"The result?" Sun asked An Ran ruthlessly.

"It's boring to know the outcome." An Ran smiled lightly and motioned for him not to speak.

。。。

"It's so cold here...... Let's go back. Zhang Lingqiu wrapped his scarf around and buried his face in it, and his voice was one degree quieter than usual.

said that she was going back, but she looked at the snow-covered grassland under the stands and the bright moon on the horizon, and her feet did not move.

And Qin Chu'an didn't dare to look at her face. He pulled her out and walked around the castle, but he never said what he had said.

Since when has this kind of emotion been pressed in the throat?

Was it when she leaped into her car? Or when she cried at the Brunhilt Hotel? Or is it the time for her to awaken to the gift at the opening ceremony?

Do you feel guilty, compassion, or ...... for her? Just want to care about her?

"A lot has happened in the past six months." Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhang Lingqiu turned around, looked into the distance, and sighed lightly.

"Hmm." Qin Chu'an lowered his head and looked at her fiery red scarf.

"When you were sent back, I was worried to death when I saw that your shoulder was gone." A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "But the 'friend' was still saved." It's really powerful. ”

Qin Chu'an saw her smiling face, it was really good-looking. The curved eyebrows seemed to hit the softest part of his heart.

He didn't want to see it wrinkle.

But Zhang Lingqiu frowned.

"Before coming to school. We had to wait in a long line to see a doctor. Now that there are no doctors, our 'friends' will not easily assign us computing power. Once, my sister had a fever and the medicine she brought to the house did not improve, so she had to make an appointment with a 'friend'. But I couldn't wait, I stayed by her side, day and night, every moment I was afraid that she would stop breathing. She turned her head, and under her furrowed eyebrows, she tried to squeeze out a smile: "If you are sick, 'friends' should give priority." ”

"Lingqiu?" Qin Chu'an also frowned.

He understood what she was saying, but he couldn't think of how to answer.

If he could do it all over again, he would have liked to have met him near her home. Born to be a person of the 12th district, she was born to understand what kind of world she lives in.

"I don't blame you." Her little face began to wrinkle together, as if remembering a bad memory: "I blame myself." ”

Her parents, who had moved to the capital since the last incident, had also come to visit her school. Although there were a lot of eyes on them, the academy was tolerant of letting them go around, and all the teaching programs made way for them, in their eyes, this was an ordinary academy hundreds of years ago.

They are even a little picky, saying that it is not as prosperous as the 12th arrondissement, but rather like a village.

Before leaving, they took all the small items in the dormitory with them. Zhang Lingqiu saw it in his eyes, but he didn't know what to say.

Like now, she didn't know what to say.

She loved her family dearly, even though the education they gave her made her a natural barrier to these classmates. Even though they couldn't afford to live in the capital and buy everything she liked, she still loved them.

Even though she knows that her father likes to go to the casino, her mother likes to watch TV shows in her tiny home, and her sister is immersed in the virtual world, living a decadent life with glorified characters.

She didn't like any of that.

But this is her past.

It was her world, it was her everything.

This cannot be thrown away, nor can it be forgotten.

It's fate.

At this moment, the bell strikes at twelve o'clock, and the melodious sound of the bell echoes inside and outside the castle, heralding the new year.

And in the forest in the distance, there seemed to be some movement.

Boom! With a loud bang, a firework exploded in the air. Immediately afterward, more and more brilliant fireworks burst into the sky, lighting up the entire night sky.

A stream of light spread from the forest to the sky, scattered into a little starlight along with the fireworks. It looks like the night is full of diamonds, and in an instant there is the brilliance of the Milky Way.

Zhang Lingqiu was stunned, his little face was stupidly tilted, and a crystal teardrop crossed it, reflecting Qin Chu'an's silent expression.

"You got it?" She looked at him without surprise: "I'm still going to trouble Brother Chuanwu." ”

"Hmm."

"Thank you."

Qin Chu'an took a step forward, Zhang Lingqiu didn't move, but his hands trembled a little.

She buried her face in her scarf, deeper than before.

"I ...... May not understand your past, do not understand ...... Your family. Qin Chun'an suddenly found himself stammering: "I don't know what you like to eat, I don't know what you're thinking...... In this regard...... I'm stupid. ”

"Hmm." The fireworks continued, and Zhang Lingqiu felt a little uncomfortable looking at the fireworks blooming in the night sky.

Qin Chu'an took another step forward, and now, they were almost attached.

"Such as ...... If you can...... What's going to be difficult in the future...... I...... Let's think together. Qin Chu'an couldn't stop this stuttering situation at all, and he didn't say anything when he was close to his lips.

But Zhang Lingqiu began to cry.

The tears fell quickly, as if they had always been in my heart.

"I don't know." She shook her head lightly and sobbed, "I really don't know. ”

What exactly she didn't know, she didn't say.

So Qin Chu'an bent down, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and hugged her carefully.

He felt her body temperature, this was the first time since the two had known each other that they were so close, as if even her joys and sorrows were blended together.

"Zhang Lingqiu, I like you."
