The girl leaned almost entirely on the heavy door panel, trying to increase the impact by increasing the contact surface, but the effect did not seem to be good, and the sound came from the door, as if it was immediately eaten by the night, and could not be transmitted into the house at all.

Shi Jiaojiao fumbled, and suddenly touched the door knocker with a cold hand, the sound of the knocker was much more penetrating, and soon there was a footstep sound from inside the door, as well as the unique voice of the old grandmother: "Who, it's a big night!" Don't knock, the master's house is going to be woken up. ”

The door squeaked open, and in the soft light of the door lamp, what caught the door was a young girl shivering with cold and a pale face. "Grandma Aqian." In order to hide her embarrassment, Shi Jiaojiao tried to restrain her teeth from fighting. The old man recognized Shi Jiaojiao, was startled, and shouted, "I'm going to die, how did the little girl become like this!" ”

In order to keep warm in winter, the room was covered with a thick short-haired carpet, Xia Lei turned on the air conditioner, and moved the heater to Shi Jiaojiao's footsteps. Grandma A Qian sent a bowl of brown sugar ginger water, "She must drink it while it is hot, and she can't be afraid of being hot." And you pay attention, don't just get sick again! "Mom and Dad, are they awake?" "Wake up, I told them that your classmates are here, and they said to sleep well first, and talk about it tomorrow." Xia Lei nodded, quickly closed the door, and stared at Shi Jiaojiao drinking ginger tea.

The warm amber liquid warmed the stomach and dispelled the last trace of chill that remained in the body after the hot bath. Xia Lei took the blue and white porcelain bowl, handed her a cup of boiled water to rinse her mouth, and asked with concern, "Are you better?" Shi Jiaojiao looked up at Xia Lei and nodded meekly, "It's a lot." ”

"I'm sorry to come here so late." Shi Jiaojiao lowered her head and whispered. Xia Lei held the cotton replaced for Shi Jiaojiao in her hand, and when she saw her appearance, she raised her socks and slapped her on the head, and said angrily: "What do you mean by this!" "I'm ......" "I'll kick you out right now." After speaking, Xia Lei raised her socks demonstratively.

"The last time the students from the debate group came, your mother...... She doesn't seem to like people she doesn't know to run to your house. Shi Jiaojiao carefully lifted the corner of the quilt and lay down in a proper manner, as if a big movement would ruin this beautiful bed.

Xia Lei frowned and said, "You lean closer to me." As she spoke, she moved her body in, moved Shi Jiaojiao out of the place where she had been warmed, and tucked the corner of the quilt and said, "My grandfather does need to recuperate, but it's not as exaggerated as she said." We didn't make much noise at all, she just had nothing to do! Besides, you're even different, just come here. ”

Shi Jiaojiao still felt that she was abrupt, and was just about to apologize again, Xia Lei turned her head, reached out and turned off the light, and said two words, "Sleep", and then buried half of her head in the quilt without saying a word. Shi Jiaojiao didn't feel sleepy at all, staring at the snow-white ceiling. After a while, Xia Lei suddenly leaned her head lightly on Shi Jiaojiao's head, and a crying voice came into Shi Jiaojiao's ears, "Don't pay attention to her at all, she's just my stepmother." ”

Shi Jiaojiao was taken aback in her heart, took a deep breath, and because she didn't know how to respond, she could only lean her head towards Xia Lei more heavily and rub it silently a few times. Scratched by the thin hair, Xia Lei felt Shi Jiaojiao's clumsy comfort, and showed a shallow smile in the dark night. "Jiaojiao, are you asleep?" "How can you sleep?" "Haha, I can't sleep either. Let's chat! "Shhh, when Grandma Ah Qian hears it, she will definitely scold someone."

"I haven't been to school for three or four days on New Year's Day, has that happened?" It seems that this question has been held back for a long time, and Xia Lei has supported her body. "Lie down quickly, don't catch a cold! Nothing more, rumors, the past is very fast. Shi Jiaojiao helped Xia Lei press the quilt under her chin and said calmly.

As soon as she retracted her hand back into the quilt, Xia Lei propped up her body again and said excitedly: "I'm sure that the same person did the bicycle thing!" If you want to die, I don't know which pervert it is, Bai was played by him, what a wreck! ”

Shi Jiaojiao just lay on her back, grabbing the edge of the quilt with both hands, without saying a word. Xia Lei expected that Shi Jiaojiao was really ready to "nest" again, so she sighed unconsciously and slowly lay down. The more she thought about it, the more she sucked up, but Shi Jiaojiao didn't move at all, Xia Lei was on fire for a while, and turned her back to Shi Jiaojiao with a big movement.

After a while, Shi Jiaojiao also followed Xia Lei to turn over, she approached Xia Lei and whispered: "This time I will never be in the bag." ”

"Really?" When Xia Lei heard this, she immediately bounced up, her face was facing Shi Jiaojiao, and even if she couldn't see it, she stared at each other's eyes seriously! Shi Jiaojiao stretched out her hand, pressed her shoulder, and said with a smile: "Really, really, you lie down first, don't bounce up again, can it be done?" If you're not cold, I'm cold. "Oh oh" Xia Lei heard this, and quickly retracted the quilt obediently.

Unfortunately, she hadn't yet laid down, so she excitedly asked her friend, "How are you going to clean him up?" What can I do? Shi Jiaojiao was poor for words for a while, and secretly thought that this is a rich girl, obviously a good little underworld! Seeing that she was so excited, Shi Jiaojiao had no choice but to pour cold water, "You are really, calm down, no one knows who it is!" ”

As soon as Xia Lei heard this, she immediately wilted, "Yes, this is really nerve-wracking, what should I do?" I had to start with picking people up. Dig it out! Clean up again. Seeing that Xia Lei was about to re-energize herself, she quickly thought about finding out who was the most difficult part, and calmed down. She pushed Shi Jiaojiao and discussed: "Or, starting from your class, ask layer by layer, and find the source of the rumors?" ”

Before Shi Jiaojiao could speak, Xia Lei overthrew herself again and muttered in a low voice: "This can't be done, it's finally over, won't it make you suffer again!" After saying that, Wu Zi was so anxious that he tossed and turned. Shi Jiaojiao looked at her good friend who was obsessed with solving the case with a stunned expression, and changed the subject, "Hey, what if you say that if you succeed and attract more powerful revenge?" ”

This trick really worked, Xia Lei immediately shifted her attention and said confidently: "The real body is revealed, am I still afraid of him?" I also underestimated my Xia Lei. Shi Jiaojiao laughed and said, "Ah, why are you more and more similar to Lili!" Xia Lei twisted her waist in the quilt and said proudly: "That's it, Lili and I are the Heavenly King King Kong, protecting you and Fei Fei's two bean sprouts!" ”

Shi Jiaojiao smiled softly, and responded to Xia Lei's righteousness with "uh-huh". She thought of Fei Fei, thought of Lili, and remembered the friendship between the four of them. I also think of my mother who has been sheltering myself at home, and my father, who has been wandering in the sea all year round for his wife and daughter......

At that moment, Shi Jiaojiao suddenly understood, maybe you don't have the ability to hold up the umbrella for anyone, but you at least know how to cherish their love for you, "You have been protecting me, so I won't let myself be bullied, and it is also a response to you." This time, it will definitely give you peace of mind. ”

I can protect myself, and I am ready to protect you.
