Chapter 13: The Beginning of Growth

When we were young, we always wanted to escape, to escape from the people who loved us the most, thinking that this was the so-called freedom. However, there is any true freedom in this world. The so-called freedom is nothing but the solitude that is built.

Junior high school is a short and rushed life, and sometimes I feel that the time is too long in those busy study days.

Three years have passed in a hurry, and in addition to studying, there are also those homework that can never be done, and Jiang Yifan's ugly braces, which seem to be really nothing.

Fortunately, all those hours were not in vain, and she finally lived up to her parents' expectations and was admitted to the high school affiliated to C University, which is a provincial key high school, which is the dream school for many candidates, and many of the students in it are the children of high-ranking officials in the city.

Therefore, Qiao Xing can be admitted to such a school, Qiao Yunyuan's happiness and relief are self-evident.

For this reason, Qiao Yunyuan did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to charter the most high-end hotel in City C, and held a thank-you banquet in a lavish manner. Not only the teachers of the school were invited to the banquet, but also relatives, friends, and fellow customers, and the whole scene was unprecedentedly lively.

Jiang Yifan, who was also admitted, also followed suit, and occasionally did not forget to mention this equally excellent nephew in the process of promoting Qiao Xing.

As the protagonist, Qiao Xing is also very relieved that she has finally won a fight, not only because of her good test, but more importantly, the location of the C middle school is far away from the Blue Mountain North Garden, and it takes an hour to drive each way, she finally has a reason to live in the school, and can finally get rid of the supervision of her parents, can she not be happy?

"Qiao Xing, that's your brother, why haven't I seen it before." When Qiao Xing was thinking about her beautiful free life in the future, a girl standing beside her suddenly asked.

"You're so stingy, you have such a handsome guy who didn't tell us, you plan to keep it for yourself and appreciate it slowly."

It was Qiao Yunyuan's friend's daughter who spoke, and although Qiao Xing knew each other, he didn't know him very well.

Qiao Xing raised his head and glanced at the handsome brother in their mouths.

As far as the eye could see, Jiang Yifan was holding a drink in one hand and followed behind Qiao Sihai timidly, not seeing where he was handsome at all.

"Is there one? Why didn't I see where he was handsome, thin like a stick, white like a ghost, sickly handsome? ”

"I think you are a full man who doesn't know that a hungry man is hungry, if your brother is put in a novel, then he is a cold male god himself."

"Cut! How can it be that good. ”

Qiao Xing's words were full of disdain, but his eyes never took his eyes off Jiang Yifan.

He rarely wears formal clothes, and strictly speaking this is the first time he has seen it.

The white shirt set off the young man's clean face, indescribably refreshing and comfortable, he was tall and tall, and he was also outstanding among the upper class.

Qiao Xing was surprised to find that the people he saw almost every day actually began to change quietly at some point.

She suddenly remembered the young man who wandered under the street lamp that day, and now he can afford the word 'Pianpin'.

Jiang Yifan doesn't talk much, and most of the time he has a straight face, not because he doesn't like to laugh, (although it is true that he rarely laughs, Qiao Xing is also fortunate to have seen a lot.) )

In fact, in addition to his personality, he doesn't like to talk, but it's more because when he first came to C City, his strong rural accent often caused a lot of people to look at and ridicule, and he has always had some inferiority, so since then he has spoken less and less. Of course, only when he is with Qiao Xing, he can't control himself and always says more.

The reason why he doesn't like to laugh is probably related to his braces, when he first brought the cup back, Jiang Yifan's teeth were not very straight, so Jiang Lihua later took him to do orthodontics. When he came back with braces, he happened to meet Qiao Xing, and Qiao Xing immediately unceremoniously said that his braces were too ugly. He felt very embarrassed to save face, so he didn't want others to see his braces later, so he rarely laughed again.

It's just that it's difficult for Qiao Xing to associate his series of weird actions with any male god, after all, Jiang Yifan has always been a pervert in Qiao Xing's heart, a dead pervert with braces, and now he has added a 'cold braces dead pervert'.

Of course, he wasn't so nasty and perverted all the time. On gloomy mornings, he would always bring an extra umbrella, and then after school, many people would sigh in the rain.

He will also take the trouble to explain patiently over and over again when she encounters problems.

He would take the initiative to help her carry her school bag when she was on those days every month.

He would also quietly protect her when the two crossed the street.

She was a little distracted, and she didn't know when the people around her would walk away, or when Jiang Yifan would come to her.

Jiang Yifan looked at a place as if she was an old monk, and then followed her gaze, there was nothing worth fascinating, except for Mo Jinyu, who was talking to someone. Suddenly, a chill welled up in his heart, and he patted Qiao Xing's shoulder in disgust.

"Qiao Xing, have you lost your soul?"

Jiang Yifan said coldly, Qiao Xing came back to his senses, glanced at Jiang Yifan in confusion, and then asked seriously: "Jiang Yifan, have you had plastic surgery?"

That's right, it must be this way to explain why he suddenly became good-looking.

Jiang Yifan couldn't help frowning, very puzzled, "What the hell?" What you have in your head depends on how you got in. ”

The appearance of this thing is all an illusion, who said that he is a cold male god, in fact, sometimes he has more words than anyone else, and every sentence is heart-piercing.

Qiao Xing didn't rush to answer, but showed a malicious look.

"Some people say that you are handsome, and they want to take you back and hide it, and slowly enjoy your beautiful body."

Jiang Yifan couldn't open his mouth when he was choked by her words, his face was red in embarrassment, and he finally stammered and left a sentence: "You ...... Female! Then he hurried away.

His embarrassed appearance made Qiao Xing laugh, and finally couldn't help but giggle.

As a result, she seems to have grasped Jiang Yifan's death hole, and she can't joke with him, especially the yellow jokes in that regard.

"Mr. Qiao is really a good teacher, not everyone in C is ...... to be tested"

Qiao Yunyuan's hearty laughter came from the crowd, and the people around him were full of praise, praising him for his good teaching daughter, and the pride in his heart was self-evident. Even with Qiao Xing, he felt that he had finally come out of his breath.

Since she officially entered puberty, her mother has been staring at her very closely, so that apart from Jiang Yifan, there is no second boy who walks closer. Even Mo Jinyu, who has always been good, was repeatedly instructed by Li Shaoling to keep a certain distance, for fear that she would accidentally step into the wrong path of early love.

But fortunately, for a whole junior high school, Qiao Xing doesn't seem to have an understanding of love, and even Da Meiqiu, who is good with her, has a favorite object, but she is still mixing with the group of boys in the class who have pimples and strange voices all day long.

Compared with Qiao Xing's late maturity, cousin Qiao Fei seems to be much more precocious, and she didn't know when she fell in love under Qiao Xing's nose, and the object of love was Mo Jinyu's friend An Yibai, and this news was still heard from Mo Jinyu.

At that time, she opened her mouth and exclaimed, "Then do I have to call An Yibai's guy brother-in-law in the future?"

Mo Jinyu pursed her mouth: "Don't you think Qiao Fei's behavior really belongs to 'old cows eating tender grass'?" She is two years older than An Yibai, two years old, do you know what the concept is? ”

Qiao Xing: "......?"

Mo Jinyu: "It means that when Qiao Fei can already run and jump, An Yibai is still breastfeeding!"

Qiao Xing spread his hands very suspiciously and asked, "So what do you want to say?"

Mo Jinyu was speechless, and found that she couldn't talk about this with someone who was not open to love.

At that age, Mo Jinyu only felt that 'sister and brother love' was a very incredible thing, if he fell in love with a person older than himself, he would definitely not be able to do it, then he felt like he was with his sister, and he felt goosebumps when he thought about it.

The two were silent for a while, and Qiao Xing suddenly said to Mo Jinyu with some sadness: "Now everyone has someone, even Qiao Fei has caught the boat of early love, and I don't want anyone yet."

I think Lao Mo is also single, it's really not good, or we can make do with it.

Otherwise, when you get old, you won't have any stories to tell your children and grandchildren. ”

When she said this, Jiang Yifan was holding a physics book not far away, munching quietly.

Mo Jinyu looked at Qiao Xing with a shocked expression, Qiao Xing naturally didn't see the sadness that flashed in Jiang Yifan's eyes when she said this.

Mo Jinyu said: "Although our mother has set a baby kiss for the two of us, I haven't agreed yet, you don't beat me less, I haven't played enough."

Qiao Xing smiled: "Look at you, I can't look down on you!"

Later, Qiao Xing asked Jiang Yifan a somewhat tricky question about this matter.

At that time, the two had already finished cram school, Jiang Yifan was holding a book and nibbling on it, Qiao Xingjue on the side was bored, and asked casually with one hand on his chin: "Jiang Yifan, why didn't he have early love?"

Jiang Yifan's brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't take his eyes off the book.

"Early love hinders the healthy growth of body and mind, no wonder you haven't grown up in junior high school, it turns out that all you think about is this mess."

The problem of height has always been Qiao Xing's biggest pain, at first I just thought that she might be stunted, but after graduating from junior high school, she still maintains the height of a primary school student, which makes her very annoyed. Li Shaoling was also worried about this, afraid that she would never grow taller, and specially asked the experts in the hospital to show her, but the doctor said that she was all right and had nothing to worry about.

Qiao Xing was directly poked by Jiang Yifan, his face was red and his neck was thick, he wanted to ridicule each other but he couldn't say anything cruel, and finally gritted his teeth with hatred, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Just your ugly appearance, no one can look at it if you want to fall in love."
