Chapter 17: Precious Fruits

Duan Xi'an smiled at the girl and put the book away:

"Okay, let's do our homework in the library tomorrow, goodbye."

Several girls chirped "goodbye" and "see you tomorrow" like a cloud of excitement squeezed out of the class door. Duan Xi'an looked at the corners of their skirts and lost his mind for a moment.

He walked to the door, and an umbrella crossed straight to his side.

"Yo, I'm finally willing to come out."

"Chen Qingqiu." Duan Xi'an turned his head, pushed the horizontal umbrella away, and walked towards Chen Qingqiu, who was leaning against the wall, "Are you waiting for me?" ”

Chen Qingqiu sneered, poked the old umbrella head on the ground, stared at the pair of starry eyes, and said word by word:

"I'm waiting for the truth."

There was a moment of silence between the two men, and the people who passed by in the corridor from time to time looked at them with interest.

"The truth in this world is not something you want to know."

After Duan Xi'an finished speaking, he wanted to move forward, ignoring the umbrella that Chen Qingqiu stretched out.

Chen Qingqiu chased after him with an umbrella and continued:

"Are you sure I can't know? Look at your sleeve. ”

On the sleeve of his white shirt, a small piece of mahogany was glued to it. Duan Xi slowed down, his face sank, and he turned to go in the direction of another person who was less crowded, he flashed into an empty classroom, and Chen Qingqiu followed in.

The door was locked, and Duan Xi'an began to speak under the coercive eyes of the other party.

"I love her, but she lied to me! She's a monster, and she's deceived me. ”

"Obviously, you abandoned her first."

Chen Qingqiu had no interest in Duan Xi'an's bitter face, and all his good feelings disappeared in Duan Xi'an's screams that night.

"What can I do, I thought she was a weak woman...... I can't inherit the family property, what can I do to support her? What am I going to do to keep myself living like this? Duan Xi'an said excitedly, his handsome face flushed, "It's obviously her!" She tricked me into falling in love with her! ”

"It's you, you're the one who drove her crazy."

Chen Qingqiu remembered the red flowers that kept falling that night, and Ziying's desperate eyes.

The old man clearly said that monsters are the most cunning in the world, and they can't be easily trusted. Duan Xi'an's face made Chen Qingqiu involuntarily want to ask, is it a person who is cunning or a monster?

"What do you say? You say she's crazy......"

Duan Xi'an's expression was like the sky was falling apart, and his thin body was crumbling by the door.

Chen Qingqiu saw that he really didn't know anything else, so he opened the door and left.

Duan Xi'an was left alone, standing quietly in the empty classroom.

Outside the door, the sound of girls laughing sounded, and the sound of slapping footsteps flashed, as if the corridor had become a playground.

……

"What is love?"

Chen Qingqiu looked at the old man lying on the hospital bed, sighed in his heart, picked up the things, and nestled himself in the chair.

Thinking about the dispute with Duan Xi'an at school, she jumped up from her chair and walked to the place where she put her bag to rummage.

"Finally found it."

A crumpled plastic bag - what Yang Ying handed her at the beginning, she casually stuffed it here without opening it. The plastic bag was opened, revealing a black layer inside.

Chen Qingqiu twisted up the layer of paper-like things, and the plump fruit underneath was instantly revealed.

The fruits like black pearls, shiny and faintly fragrant, lay quietly in the tattered packaging.

Chen Qingqiu's hands trembled a little, and his peach blossom eyes widened:

"Zhenguo!"
