Chapter 33: A Good Friend Can Be Waiting (2)
Tide looked up at Xia Chan, who was bored and was biting her pen in a daze, she was rare not to chirp when she was writing her homework today.
She remembered the WeChat message she saw that day, and the words she was holding back in her heart couldn't help but get on her lips.
"Xia Cicada, I'....... I accidentally saw a message from Xu Mingzhong that day. "The tide opens.
Xia Chan suddenly raised his head when he heard this, and his expression was shocked. She paused, then asked.
"So you're going to do it or not?"
She thought that Xia Cicada should not go. With her temper tantrum and daring style, she disdains to attend the wedding of her ex who dumped her.
But Xia Chan did not refuse categorically. She frowned, as if in thought, much to the surprise of the tide.
The atmosphere between the two was silent for about a minute, and just as she was about to bow her head and continue reading, Xia Chan suddenly threw the pen on the table, and her brows relaxed.
"Go! Doesn't his grandmother just want me to see how happy he is now? I want to see how happy he is. ”
There was righteous indignation on her face, and a majestic look of fearlessness to die.
Tide laughed out loud at her sudden outburst.
"Shall I go with you?"
She recommended herself, but she was actually afraid that Xia Chan would not be able to hold back her true feelings at that time. She'll be a little nicer next to her.
Xia Chan nodded without hesitation and agreed to her request.
"That's right!" She nodded and suddenly leaned closer, her eyes shining with the eagerness to share her findings.
Tide put down the pen and listened to her.
"When I passed by the East Lake Garden this morning, I saw Uncle Chaohai."
Tidal Tide's eyebrows suddenly raised, his eyes locked on Xia Cicada, pursed his lips and waited quietly.
“....... I said, don't be angry? ......." Xia Cicada seems to have concerns.
Say. I'm not angry. ”
She suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.
He ....... Hugging with a woman, that person is not Aunt Yangmei. ”
Xia Cicada cautiously opened her mouth, carefully observing the emotional changes on the tide's face.
“...... Expected. ”
The tide exhaled abnormally, but it made Xia Cicada confused. "What? Did you see that too? ”
"It's not." Tidal shook his head, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. "I already knew that he was having an affair, but I didn't happen to meet him, and I don't know what that woman looks like."
Xia Cicada's startled mouth takes on an O-shape. "So that's the reason why Aunt Yangmei divorced him?"
"It should be. But neither she nor I knew what the woman's name was, and strangely enough, my dad just wouldn't divorce her. ”
Tidal still doesn't understand why Chaohai is reluctant to break off with Yangmei when he has a new love. The two of them knew it but didn't want to let go of torturing each other, so she was already tired.
Xia Cicada smashed it and smashed its mouth, feeling that the tide must be driven crazy between the two people.
"One thing comes to mind, too." The tide closed the book, as if there was some vital secret to reveal.
"Last time, Jiang Qi and I met by chance and walked together, so my dad saw it."
Xia Chan's expression became jubilant, and she suddenly winked at her.
"Don't make a fuss, that's not the point." The tide shatters her illusions. "My dad wanted me to stay away from him and cut off the relationship. I didn't comply, and he slapped me. ”
The expressions of the people waiting to watch the show on the other side froze.
"I always felt like my dad was hiding some secrets from me. So did my mom. The tide lowered his eyes and landed his gaze on his name on the cover of the book.
"Sometimes I really wish I wasn't trendy."
Xia Chan's expression was embarrassed. She didn't know what to say at the moment to break the somewhat sad atmosphere. The last sentence of the tide was like a knife piercing her heart, although it was not her, but it was wonderfully empathetic.
Qiao Shen has spoken very little lately. This is the first instinct of the tide every time he sees him, not so much because of tiredness, but largely because of something on his mind.
But she also tried not to talk to him. She was trying to keep her distance from him, for fear that something would happen again because of her. Unless sometimes he is pulled up in speaking class to have a conversation with him as a model partner, there is no intersection outside of class.
For a while, the two seemed to be tacit, taking into account each other's feelings, and the tacit understanding was speechless.
In fact, she felt sorry for Qiao Shen in her heart. This guilt comes from his gentle eyebrows and eyes that always smile and the care that comes from time to time, because of the various reasons that she has been in love with him before, which makes her even more helpless.
In Monday's speaking class, Mrs. Bernard temporarily changed the way she chose and let Qiao Shen choose who to practice with. Tidal sat in his seat with sweaty palms, and he didn't know why his heart was beating diligently.
In fact, Tide prefers the feeling of sitting behind him when he first entered school in his freshman year than he currently sits in front of him. At that time, she was still liking him, and she could look at his back in a daze without any scruples, he couldn't see it, but now sitting here, she always felt restless, even if Qiao Shen didn't look at this side at all, she was still used to hiding herself in a place he couldn't see, from the previous self-intoxication, to the current self-breaking.
By this point, he was standing up beyond her reach.
“Mika。”
The heart that the tide hangs is down. He chose Xia Cicada.
Xia Chan looked shocked. She glanced at Qiao Shen in disbelief, and then turned her gaze to the tide ahead. The tide subconsciously turned his head and saw Xia Chan's anxious mouth.
"Help me!"
She could see what she was trying to say. Speaking class is a nightmare for Xia Chan, her speaking is well known to the class, if you say it is good, it is a low level, and if it is bad, it is rotten like a ripe tomato.
Of course, Qiao Shen also knew about it, but he just found her.
The tides are in a dilemma at this time. She knew that Xia Chan would be ugly as soon as she opened her mouth, but Qiao Shen was clearly looking for Xia Chan, if she volunteered, her intention to do this might be to be in the limelight in the eyes of others, and at the same time, the relationship with Qiao Shen was unclear.
Seeing that Xia Chan didn't react, the foreign teacher shouted again instead of Qiao Shen.
“Mika?”
Xia Chan stood up tremblingly, and the eyes around her were invariably cast on her.
“....... Je suis désolé。 (I'm sorry)"
This common colloquial Xia Cicada will still speak. “....... Je ne peux pas。 (I can't)"
Her tone was a little shaky, a real fear that she could only show in speaking class.
Mrs. Bernard's brow furrowed slightly, "Pourquoi? (Why)"
“Parce que....... (because....... )”
Xia Chan felt that there was a mess in her brain at the moment, and she began to hate why she didn't learn French well, and now that it was a critical time, she couldn't even say a word of explanation.
Suddenly, someone in front of him raised his hand and stood up, his movements clean and neat.
“ Mika est tombé malade ,Madame 。 (Teacher, she's sick)"
The voice was clear.
The foreign teacher's serious gaze softened, and he beckoned to the tide and the summer cicada to sit down. Xia Chan exhaled, glad that he had escaped a hurdle.
The whole class was still left with Qiao Shen standing in his seat. When the tide stood up just now, he saw it clearly, he thought she was going to go to the toilet temporarily, but he didn't expect it to relieve Xia Cicada.
But he was not in a hurry at all, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
"Alors je veux choisir Marée. (Then I choose the tide)"
He blurted out his next choice, and there was a slight commotion in the class, which startled the tide that had just calmed down.
What should come is still coming.
The foreign teacher nodded in agreement. These two people are her demonstration partners in every class, and they have a good effect on improving the teaching effect.
Tide stood up helplessly, left his position, and stood on the podium with Qiao Shen one after the other.
The foreign teacher spoke, saying that the topic of today's conversation is personal emotions.
The whole class began to stir again. It's just that this commotion is much more obvious than the one just now, and everyone has a happy expression on their faces, as if they are watching a live confession.
Tidal eyes jumped to Xia Chan's face and saw her slightly apologetic look.
Those who are clear are self-purifying.
She secretly thought about this sentence in her heart, and felt that as long as she upheld this belief, no one could slander her anymore.
The topic was cut by Qiao Shen first. He was always fast-talking, and Tidal had to listen with all his attention every time to understand him.
The previous warm-up dialogue went smoothly, and the two of you and I cooperated very well. But suddenly Qiao Shen turned straight down and jumped to the most critical part, and the tide was caught off guard.
He asked her if she had ever liked anyone since she was a child, mainly of the opposite sex.
Of course there is. At first it was you, and then it was Jiang Qi. This is the answer she blurted out in her heart. But this can't be said, and she was afraid that Qiao Shen would break the casserole and ask to the end, so she once again hypocritically avoided this topic.
"Personne."
The class let out a sigh, mixed with disapproving ridicule.
Hopefully, this is the quickest way to close this topic. Tide thought to himself.
Qiao Shen suddenly laughed, and his smile was very clear, but it made the tide feel empty.
"What about you?"
Tide decided to counterattack as the main thing, leaving the topic away from himself and going around to him. Although this is a knowingly questioned, the flow of dialogue must continue.
She thought that Qiao Shen was going to mention the experience with Xiao Ya as material, but she saw that his gaze at her at the moment suddenly seemed to bloom with ten thousand points of starlight, full of extreme gentleness.
"Je péfère oubier le passé (I prefer to forget the past)"
He spoke suddenly, smiling.
There was another commotion in the audience.
Tide knew he wasn't done yet, but wanted to take his eyes off him, but didn't know where to go.
“Parce que je suis en train de faire rencontrer la bonne personne . (because I'm meeting the nicest)"
Qiao Shen's last sentence finally caused an uproar.
Before the tide could escape his staring gaze, he suddenly fell into his gentle turbulent eyes, and the last words rang in his ears, as if his soul was out of his body.
