Chapter 34: A Beloved Can Be Waited for (3)
The bell for the end of this class seemed to be longer than ever. Standing on the podium for the first time, the words and sentences in her nervous mind were messed up, and there were several grammatical errors and pauses in the course of the subsequent conversation, which made the foreign teacher who had always been very optimistic about her very puzzled.
Qiao Shen stood quietly opposite, calmly listening to her more and more frequent mistakes, but with a shallow smile on his face, he didn't know what he was thinking.
How can you not care about other people's eyes and words. The chatter and laughter below pierced her ears like small thorns, and Tidal felt her palms sweat, and her whole body felt as if she was about to fall.
It was the most unexpected mistake she had in her speaking class in three years. Qiao Shen, who was standing opposite before this, was just a partner of healthy competition for her, not similar to the person who brought her a lot of oppression now. In the final analysis, it was because of his two ambiguous words, which were clearly marked with naked post-event provocation. Qiao Shen has always been such an arrogant person, how could he be willing to bear what he can't grasp.
When the tide stepped on the heavy bell and sat back in his seat in a daze, Xia Cicada had already run from behind with a puff of smoke.
"I'm sorry Tide, I shouldn't have asked you for help."
With an apologetic look on her face, she leaned down and crouched down in front of her seat, and saw that she was pale and silent.
She understands why she is the way she is. The tide avoided the incident for so long, but it was still not as impactful as Qiao Shen's two words, and it surfaced again. Even if Qiao Shen may not be referring to her in his words, but the listener has a heart, the whole class will still speculate on their own, and naturally they will combine the tide and Qiao Shen together. It's the most hated and unwilling thing for the tide to happen. If she had been a little braver herself, the tide would not have been in such a difficult situation again.
"Do you think his last two words refer to me?"
Xia Cicada was thinking about how to save the situation in the next sentence, and the silence was broken by the tide's sudden inquiry.
“.......”
Actually, Xia Chan wants to say yes. Although she has some temptation for Qiao Shen, she sees Qiao Shen's good for the tide. As an outsider, the authorities are obsessed with bystanders, and the only thing she knows is that the tide likes Jiang Qi, but she can't change the fact that Qiao Shen clearly likes the tide.
"What's wrong?"
Xia Chan simply laid out the facts with her. "Even if it's not you, doesn't everyone still think you have something to do with him? It's you, what can you do? Who Qiao Shen likes is his own right, and we have no way to interfere. ”
She explained the reason, and saw that the expression on the tide's face did not fluctuate in the slightest.
"But I just don't want to have anything to do with him anymore. Because of you, because of Pei Yao, because of anyone who likes Qiao Shen. ”
These are the words that the tide holds to his lips. But she swallowed her saliva and still didn't say it. She felt that what Xia Chan said also made some sense, but she still didn't dare to imagine how she would react to telling Xia Chan what Qiao Shen had confessed to her. Even if Xia Chan is always very arrogant and doesn't care about anything, she is still afraid that she will pretend to be strong if she doesn't care about anything.
It was her friend for ten years.
Jiang Luo has been in a state of extreme excitement for the past two days, which makes the tide very happy.
Although she didn't know why the little girl was so happy, it was much better than the depression she was when she and Lin Fei just broke up. She also heard her say that Xu Jinxi took her to the playground to play, although the haunted house scared her back and had several nightmares.
"Teacher, what do you think of Xu Jinxi?"
Jiang Luo suddenly turned his head as he read the sentence, and jumped out of this sentence, startling the tide who was sitting on the bed reading a book.
"How?" Tidal felt that what he had guessed by chance seemed to be going in the direction he expected.
"...... you?"
She raised her eyebrows playfully, looking at Jiang Luo's gaze meaningfully.
Jiang Luo pursed his lips slightly, as if complaining about the ridicule of the tide. "What do you want? There's no way I'm going to like him. ”
"And what do you ask?"
The tide loses interest and continues to look down at the book.
"I'm asking you what you think of him. Teacher, aren't you still single? I think you two are a good fit. ”
Jiang Luo grinned after speaking, with a lively expression.
Tide was amused by her joke, as if he had heard her say a joke. "You're kidding me? Salty radish is not worried. Learn your French and go abroad. ”
Of course, she knew that it was impossible for her and Xu Jinxi. She didn't know how this little girl would react if she knew that what she liked was actually her brother.
"But you seem to be in a pretty good mood for the past two days, what's going on lately?"
Tide turned the subject and asked her.
Jiang Luo seemed to be very happy to hear the question, and happily threw the pen in his hand on the table, turning the chair to face her directly.
"My brother said he would take me to eat Haidilao!"
The tide is once again defeated by the innocence of the little girl. She thought it was something important, but she didn't expect that the thing that made her excited day and night was just a Haidilao.
Jiang Luo saw her sneering and laughing, as if she was dissatisfied. "Teacher, what are you laughing at? It's not just a Haidilao affair, right? Jiang Luo bit the last two words very hard, "The important thing is that my brother has never taken me out, and the last time I finally celebrated my tenth grade piano, he also brought someone I didn't like, which was a disappointment." ”
Tidal Tide's smile faded as she saw the dimming light in Jiang Luo's eyes.
"My brother has been very cold since he was a child, he ignores everyone and never takes me out to play. Especially after my dad and my mom divorced, he was assigned to my mom, and we didn't keep in touch for a long time. Sometimes I think I might not be his own sister. ”
Tide listened to her gloomy tone, and his heart ached.
"This Haidilao, maybe because he thinks I'm going abroad and can't come back for four years, so he added a parting meal. But I don't care, as long as he takes me out once, I'm happy. ”
She sighed after speaking, didn't look at the tide's look, and silently turned the chair back again.
Tidal looked at her suddenly lonely back, got up from the bed and walked next to her, reached out and touched her head.
"No, it won't. How can there be a brother who doesn't love his sister? Your brother ........"
Jiang Qi's eyebrows flashed in her mind, and the temperature of his fingertips and palms flashed.
"He's just not very expressive. Some feelings don't need too many meaningless expressions, and it's good to be able to take action. ”
This is a rare time for her to comfort people without going against her heart.
"I hope so. A lot of people say that we don't look like it, whether it's looks or personality, my dad said don't listen to their nonsense, he said it's called complementary temperament. Jiang Luo suddenly laughed, picked up the pen and continued to spin it in his hand. Sometimes I don't think we're like each other, but we all have one thing in common. ”
The tide came from it, raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.
"What?"
Jiang Luo laughed and winked at the tide.
"Good-looking!"
Jiang Qi walked too fast in front. He was tall and long-legged, and he walked with the wind when he stepped forward, and Jiang was out of breath behind him.
"You're dying slowly."
Jiang Qi finally stopped in the chase that Jiang Luo yelled and shouted all the way to chase a little slower, frowned and turned around.
Jiang Luo was angry and didn't fight anywhere, but when he thought of Haidilao, which was not far away, he became tolerant. "Your legs are too long, my legs are short, and I can't catch up with you in a few steps."
She turned her anger into praise in a different way.
"So why don't you take the subway?"
Jiang Qi was still thinking about the scene when he was stopped by this girl at the entrance of the subway station just now. She didn't want to take the subway, she didn't take the bus, she had to walk.
"It's such a nice weather, don't waste a lot of time in the carriage, it's not very far away anyway."
Jiang Luoxu babbled and explained, but in fact, he was weak to death.
She just wanted to spend a little more time with this person she had called her brother for seventeen years.
Jiang Qi's temples jumped in anger because she was messing around, but when he saw her panting because she was running too fast and too fast, his heart softened slightly.
He didn't speak, turned and walked on, but noticeably slowed down.
This girl didn't even tell him about breaking up with Lin Fei. If Da Zhuang hadn't revealed it unintentionally, he might still be in the dark. So the day after he learned the news, he personally went to greet Lin Fei. She Jiang Luo felt sorry for Lin Fei, but his fist didn't feel sorry for him.
Business has always been good. Especially in this winter of freezing hands and feet, hot pot is the best gift from God to mankind.
As soon as the two of them finished the dishes and sat down facing each other, Jiang Qi felt the burning gaze of a middle-aged man at the next table looking over in his spare light.
He subconsciously looked over, and the man suddenly withdrew his gaze that was stagnant on Jiang Luo's face, and poured cabbage into the soup as if nothing had happened.
Jiang Qi's eyes narrowed. His gaze passed through the thousands of wisps of heat that rose from the tabletop, locked onto the man's face.
This face is clear in his memory.
The next second, he withdrew his gaze and saw Jiang Luo's crimson face that he didn't know if he was excited or by the heat of the store.
The man saw that Jiang Qi no longer looked at him, and his eyes shot cautiously again, the purpose was always Jiang Luo, as if there was something strange on Jiang Luo's face, which kept attracting him to look up.
Jiang Qi frowned slightly, pretending to add vegetables to the soup, but Yu Guang never left him.
Jiang Luo had big nerves, eating the feast by himself, and he didn't know about this sudden tug-of-war of eyes.
Jiang Qi naturally knew that this was not a middle-aged obscene old man's peeping at the beautiful face of a young girl in the flower season. Because what he saw in those eyes that were always cautious was not greasy lust, but a kind of unreasonable shock and tenderness. He had seen this kind of look before. At the woman I hated the most, in an unexpected hug.
