Chapter 46: To Your Pleasure, But Only Three (2)
Shi Man is a well-known smiling beauty in the school. There are many people who will think about the feeling of first love at first sight when they see her, Xia Chan still remembers that when the student union was changed, when Shi Man applied for the deputy department to give a speech on stage, the cheers and whistles of the boys below were higher and higher, and this formation was probably only possible if Xiao Ya appeared.
Xia Chan looked at Qiao Shen's eyebrows and eyes that smiled very well after taking Coke, and Shi Man's fresh and lovely smile, and only felt panicked in his heart.
But in the face of this kind of thing, she still held her breath. Xia Chan sat up straight, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and quietly watched the every move of the two brilliant and dazzling people over there.
"Good work, senior."
Shi Man smiled, and his tone was soft.
She is a good hand in the work of the student union, otherwise she would have become a deputy minister in her sophomore year. She remembered that the first time she saw Qiao Shen was when she saw him playing basketball in the gymnasium, he was wearing a white jersey, his eyebrows and eyes were clear, and he looked like her ideal love.
But she is not the kind of person who takes the initiative at first sight, she always has her own routine for doing things. During the time when Xiao Ya and Qiao Shen were together, she sat and watched the changes, and the tide and Qiao Shen spread the scandal vigorously, and she fanned the flames.
For Pei Yao, it is probably a scapegoat chess piece.
Qiao Shen felt that this girl's face seemed to be somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it. He left the student council early and didn't want to waste too much of his time in that kind of place.
“…… Thank you. Who are you? ……”
Qiao Shen politely took the Coke, but did not turn it on immediately.
Shi Man smiled.
"Shi Man, the sophomore Department of Architecture, the deputy department of the student union, came to coordinate and arrange the exchange meeting."
She speaks without hurry or slowness, logically, with a calm and authentic confidence.
"The school really attaches the most importance to the French department, and in order to make it smooth, we have also brought in our student council to help."
Shi Man added the previous sentence, and his tone was quipping.
Qiao Shen raised his lips embarrassedly and gently put the Coke on the table to the side.
"I'm really embarrassed, in fact, there are enough people in the French department, we didn't know that you were forced to come over to help, if you have something to do, you can go back first, there are not many things, I can do it myself."
Shi Man raised his eyebrows and shook his head slightly.
"This is our duty, seniors don't be polite. I'm here, and there's no reason to go back. ”
After she finished speaking, she paused slightly, as if she remembered something else, and took a step forward, only about fifteen centimeters away from Qiao Shen.
Qiao Shen subconsciously retracted his body.
"I heard that the senior is very good at French?"
The girl in front of her had a sparkle in her eyes.
Qiao Shen laughed softly and shook his head unhurriedly.
"I don't dare to say it's amazing. Generally so-so. ”
“…… You are too modest...... I have something I want to ask my seniors for help with. ”
Shi Man was blunt.
She took a step back, putting the two of them apart, her eyebrows smiling.
"You say. I can help. ”
Qiao Shen is not easy to shirk.
Shi Man lowered his eyes, looking a little embarrassed.
“…… Our Department of Architecture has a cooperation with a French university, and I have the opportunity to go abroad for exchange in my junior year, but I can't speak French, and I can't learn well on my own, so I don't know if my seniors have time to help me tutor, and it won't take too long to teach me some spoken English. I can invite my seniors to dinner, I owe you a favor, and you can come to me for anything in the future...... But this opportunity is really important to me. ”
Qiao listened to her words quietly, pondering the importance of them.
“…… I can help you with a little bit of tutoring, but it may not be long......"
He tried to be as tactful as possible.
"Because I also have to prepare for graduate school, and I also have to prepare for the 8th degree and the DELF certificate or something...... So it probably won't help you much. ”
Shi Man was very happy.
"It's okay senior! Just take time once a week, and I promise to study hard! Hard work senior! Thank you!"
Her face grew playful.
"Then I'll get busy first! Come on, seniors. ”
Joe smiled in response. Shi Man seemed to be in a good mood, said hello to him and trotted to arrange things. Qiao Shen looked at the long black hair that jumped behind her back when she ran, and a touch of complexity grew in her heart.
He was just about to withdraw his gaze when he stumbled upon a familiar silhouette not far from the audience.
Qiao Shen looked sideways along the senses, and saw Xia Cicada's dark aura eyes rolling to this side.
He pulled away a smile, amused, and walked over to her.
Xia Cicada doesn't feel very good. She also saw Qiao Shen walking over without hurrying or slowing. It's just that now she feels a little bit like pins and needles, and she doesn't know what to say in the first sentence. Did she pass by by and come in to have a look, or did she think the tide was going to be here so she came to her?
She was still weighing in her heart which reason was more convincing, but Qiao Shen had already stopped in front of her.
"How long have you been following me?"
Qiao Shen's teasing voice spread overhead.
Xia Chan looked up and saw him standing naturally and leisurely, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"I'm following you?" She leaned back, disdainful.
"I thought the student representative was the tide, who knew it was you." She was speechless and argued with reason.
"Then you don't see the tide and don't go? What are you doing sitting here?"
Qiao Shen raised his voice and lowered his eyes to look at the expression on Xia Chan's face.
“……”
Xia Chan's mind froze, trying her best to think about how to answer him.
"The lecture hall is not your home, you don't care if I can leave or not."
She simply slammed it up.
Qiao Shen was most familiar with her tone, and his psychology was already a little clear, so he didn't continue to ask.
"Bon. (Okay)"
He shrugged helplessly. "Then sit down, I'm going to be busy with me."
He was about to raise his feet as soon as he put down a sentence, but before he could completely turn around, Xia Cicada's voice behind him was rarely lowered.
“…… Why don't you open that can of Coke?"
Qiao Shen stopped, his brows furrowed slightly.
He turned around and caught a glimpse of Xia Chan looking at him intently with her face up.
He was taken aback by this slightly surprised question, thinking of Shi Man just now, and expected that this girl had been paying attention to every move over there.
Qiao Shen raised an eyebrow and let out a chuckle between his snorts.
"Don't you know that I like Pepsi?"
A firework suddenly exploded in Xia Cicada's brain.
She really almost forgot Qiao Shen's unique fetish. She only remembered clearly that he liked to drink Coke, but she forgot his favorite brand of Coke.
In the sports meeting of her freshman year, she distributed drinks to the athletes in her class, and when Qiao Shen arrived, he was moving his muscles and bones that had just finished running.
She handed the Coca-Cola in her hand over, her tone stiff.
"Good work, brother."
Qiao Shen raised her eyes in the autumn afternoon sun, her eyes touched the red can she was holding in her hand, and the corners of her lips were slightly hooked.
"Is there a Pepsi?"
At that time, she was puzzled. She looked at her lone right hand in mid-air, and a nameless anger rushed up to her head.
"So much to do with a Coke? No Pepsi, hurry. ”
As she spoke, she grabbed the things in her hand into his arms, and without looking at Qiao Shen's expression at that time, she strode to another athlete.
Later, she saw Qiao Shen hand the Coke in his hand to a propaganda officer who was shooting records, and when the little girl looked up and saw the famous Xiaocao herself, she was excited and didn't hold the camera in her hand steady.
She never asked him why he didn't like Coca-Cola.
“…… If you don't mention it, I'll forget. Your fetish is truly unique. ”
Xia Chan returned to the lecture hall with her thoughts, raised her eyes and responded to him angrily.
Joe laughed out loud, but didn't continue. He lifted his wrist and glanced at his watch, realizing that time was running out.
"It's not too late for you to remember."
He dropped a sentence and turned his foot forward.
"See you on Monday."
The summer cicada sits in its seat and balances its disordered breathing. She thought for a moment, then pulled her phone out of her pocket and clicked on the memo.
She looked up in Qiao Shen's direction and caught a glimpse of him busy putting up posters. She could see his slender bony fingers pressed against the corner of the elevation, and a minimalist black watch on his wrist.
She lowered her eyes and quickly typed a few words on the keyboard.
"He loves Pepsi."
It's just three things, and I'll never forget it again.
It was close to five o'clock when I finished the last course, and the sky outside was uncomfortable. Today's weather forecast is clearly said to be sunny, so how does it feel like it's still going to rain.
Tide sighed and remembered the last question of the high law test paper. A similar type of question had been taught in the last lesson, but at the time she was already distracted and didn't listen to anything.
She felt like she was falling little by little. It scared her.
Xia Chan ran out of another classroom with a bag in tow.
"Tide!"
She hugged her and was elated.
"It's a holiday, it's a holiday! It's the New Year!"
That's the only thing that makes her so happy. Tidal pursed his lips and laughed with her.
"I won't go home for the Chinese New Year, stay here."
Xia Cicada's eyebrows were raised, and joy collapsed instantly.
"Why, you don't go back for the Spring Festival? What did uncle and aunt say?"
She naturally knew about the awkward and special relationship between the tide and her family, but as for not even going back for winter vacation, she couldn't understand her friend's choice.
