Chapter 5: The Setter
"Yo ho, what a good boy with filial piety!" Mo Qing stroked the top of Yuan Yuxiao's head with a kind expression and began to attack in a roundabout way.
Yuan Yuxiao came to cover the earth, squinted slightly, and actually had a rather enjoyable expression, and gently shook his head with Mo Qing's hand, "I have won awards." ”
Mo Qing sighed and chased after him: "Alas, a talented and promising young man, that's it, that's it......"
"What if you come out of college, you still want to work after all." Yuan Yuxiao had a few days of mental preparation, so the tactics were appropriate, the enemy advanced and I retreated, and the enemy retreated and I advanced.
"That's that, doing scientific research is work, and selling vegetables is also work, right?" Mo Qing was in a hurry and was not well prepared, so he could only switch to defense.
"Revolutionary work, glorious deeds!" Yuan Yuxiao recited the most popular slogan a few years ago.
Mo Qing shook his head with a smile, shook his head, and then raised his head to toast, took the sour plum soup for a long time, and finally pressed it down, and breathed a long cold breath.
"It's okay, after all, it's also an iron rice bowl."
Mo Qing began to give up persuasion.
"Thank you for your understanding." Yuan Yuxiao arched her hand without being humble or arrogant, and also exhaled softly.
He is convincing others, and he is convincing himself.
"I always thought that we would walk side by side for a long time on the way to study......" Mo Qing's eyes were a little faint.
"I'm sorry I didn't keep my word." Yuan Yuxiao felt that this apology could not be saved. The two of them had repeatedly scolded Fang Xuan in the campus bookstore, and now his actions were tantamount to escaping.
"But after work, I won't give up studying!" He was sincere enough to make another promise.
Mo Qing rubbed the cup in his hand intently, and no longer paid attention to Yuan Yuxiao.
Yuan Yuxiao looked at his helpless and almost lonely appearance, and remembered that he was kind enough to persuade himself after all, and suddenly felt a little unbearable in his heart. A minute ago, he had raised his protective suit like a hedgehog, but now he suddenly softened his heart and was confused. Yuan Yuxiao often does this.
He is now so guilty of betraying his good intentions, and he has missed the appointment on the road to study together that he has longed for many times.
It is said that the students with the top grades are often the opposite, and the students who are behind are often the best friends. Yuan Yuxiao and Mo Qing have always maintained a very iron relationship. One is because they became friends in their childhood before forming a sense of competition, and the other is that after entering middle school, the strengths of the two have always been in different directions.
The two of them calmed down, their minds in a daze.
"Do you know why we are here, why we always drink sour plum soup for several years?" Yuan Yuxiao broke the silence with a smile and suddenly asked a strange question.
"I like to drink it, why is this?" Mo Qing stretched a long lazy waist.
"Actually, although we have always come here to drink sour plum soup together for so many years, our reasons are different, don't you know this?" Yuan Yuxiao led the topic farther and farther.
Mo Qing's eyelids really raised quickly, in terms of IQ, Mo Qing was very narcissistic. But he snorted softly for the time being, indicating his disdain to answer.
"I know, you order it, it must be because you like to drink it, but I'm different, I didn't have this reason at first, because my favorite drink is not sour plum soup......
"You're here to accompany me," Mo Qing still couldn't hold back, and grabbed the words with an expression that he had known three years ago, "This is also in line with your character......"
Yuan Yuxiao shook her head loudly.
"Not exactly, I'm because my pocket money can only afford this! Sour plum soup is the cheapest of the cold drinks here, only eight cents, and I used to have pocket money, usually only a dime. Yuan Yuxiao smiled self-deprecatingly.
"I can see it a long time ago, I just didn't break it," Mo Qing finally sat up a little proudly, "Actually, my pocket money is not more than yours, maybe one dime two or one dime five, enough to buy a bag of milk cakes, so I can only afford sour plum soup." But it's not because it's cheap, but because I really like it! ”
"I know this!"
"If I like to drink and I can't afford it with my pocket money at once, I'll wait until I've saved up enough money to buy my favorite, and I'll never settle for the next best! Our personalities are like this, I always strive for the most perfect, you are always very capable! Mo Qing's eyes rolled, "Including this choice of future destiny......"
"Here we go again, here we go again!" Yuan Yuxiao hurriedly made a gesture of pause and forcibly rejected the enemy outside the door, "I just think it's too troublesome to save money......"
"You, it's okay to be afraid of trouble, but it's not all about being afraid of trouble, you see I like to drink this very much, and I also have the meaning of sacrificing my life to accompany the gentleman, you are the kind of person who is very harsh on yourself and self-denial, I'm right." Mo Qing cocked Erlang's legs and looked up at the sky.
Yuan Yuxiao didn't want him to be too proud, so she picked up the conversation, "Do you know what I like to drink the most?" ”
"Hehe, I can see this, it's iced coffee! That's all I have with this IQ! ”
"It's not good, I like ice cocoa the most!"
"I know you're not convinced, you're about the same as these two, if I say this, you'll say it's the other one, you, a boiled duck has a hard mouth!"
"Okay, you won," Yuan Yuxiao shrugged with a look of indispensability, "You came to me today, didn't you come to talk about sour plum soup, did you have something important?" Do you want to say something about Xiaolu! ”
Mo Qing raised his head, as if speaking to the big ceiling fan on the ceiling:
"Yes, you're right! Today I really want to talk about Xiaolu! Before I came, I didn't know that you gave up on college, but now it seems that what I want to say is more relevant because you stayed in the city! ”
Yuan Yuxiao was a little foggy this time.
"However, the topic of sour plum soup just now is quite interesting, it is very inspiring to me, and maybe it can help me explain things more clearly." Mo Qing still looked unfathomable.
"Oh! Xiaolu and sour plum soup are still related? I want to hear about it! Yuan Yuxiao's interest was really mentioned by him.
"You know, I'm going to study at Zhejiang University......" Mo Qing said halfway, stopped, and stared at him.
Mo Qing has this habit, and when he wants others to help him finish what he doesn't want to say, he always looks like this. That means, with his grade, his friends should also be highly intelligent, or at least have a tacit understanding of the heart.
Yuan Yuxiao leaned back in the chair and looked at him with a smile.
Mo Qing also leaned back in the chair, with a face that wanted to be carried down with him.
"Please go on." Yuan Yuxiao knew Mo Qing's personality and didn't like this state of carrying it, so she gracefully stretched out her hand to make a gesture of invitation.
Mo Qing shook his head, smiled bitterly, and expressed submission, "I'm leaving, what should Yu Xiaolu do?" ”
Mo Qing's tone is like a parent who is about to travel far away and can't leave his child, he is this kind of narcissist, he has been friends for many years, Yuan Yuxiao knows his character too well.
Yuan Yuxiao smiled brightly. He wanted to tease him with something like "Does this have anything to do with me", but he still couldn't say it, he thought about it for a while, and finally said in a joking tone: "I know, you're going to leave your hometown and say goodbye, Yu Xiaolu is here, it's still half-baked, are you going to get her done first, in case you lose it?" If that's the case, I don't think there's any need to ask me! ”
Mo Qing blinked and looked at him motionlessly.
"Oh, look at you like this, I'm wrong......" Yuan Yuxiao thought for a moment, "Then there is another possibility, you want to ask me to help you watch the backyard, fire prevention and theft?" Isn't it ......" suddenly realized, "No wonder you said that I stayed in the local area, it is more realistic!" Do you really want me to put the back door on you? ”
Mo Qing still looked at him expressionlessly and continued to play the game of "we are all wooden people".
"It's not that I don't want to help you—I don't even need you to tell you this, the problem is, I'm afraid it's more than enough to do it! Besides, in what position should I help you control her? Under the melon field and plums, I'm afraid that I will have to provoke a body of anger, saying that my motives are not pure! You say yes, right? ”
Mo Qing coughed dryly, "Yuxiao, between the two of us, is it necessary to say such things?" ”
"There is really no need between the two of us, I believe that you believe in me as much as you believe in yourself!" Yuan Yuxiao's tongue twister was serious and categorical, "However, fragmentary words are not produced between the two of us, but among the people!" ”
"Makes sense! But do people like you and me take rumors seriously? "Mo Qing, who thinks very highly of himself, always raises his friends to the height he thinks.
"It's unfortunate - I care......" Yuan Yuxiao lowered her head and whispered.
Mo Qing coughed lightly, "It seems to be ...... It seems to be a bit off-topic, I didn't mean it here......" He began to play with the cup in his hand, it seemed that he was not waiting for something on purpose, but it was difficult to speak.
Yuan Yuxiao didn't hesitate to help him continue, "Then...... Then, there is only the third possibility......" stared at Mo Qing and said slowly, "You plan to be Chen Shimei!" ”
Mo Qing continued to cough dryly.
made Yuan Yuxiao's throat and eyes itch.
"Yes, yes, no, no, give a happy word!"
"Something...... You really can't answer it with yes or no! Mo Qing sighed, left the back of the chair, and sat up straight, "Okay, we buddies don't hide it, others don't know, you should know, Xiaolu and I are not on the level of boyfriend and girlfriend relationship, so Chen Shimei is absolutely unbearable, and what, and what......" He exhaled a long breath, as if he made up his mind with great difficulty, "She and I will not become a pair in the future, this is probably certain......"
"Actually, as soon as you your tail, I know what you're going to!" Yuan Yuxiao drank the sour plum soup in one gulp, "Please give me another cup of iced coffee!" ”
"Totally satisfied!" Mo Qing hurriedly got up, went to buy a cup of iced coffee, and held it in front of him with both hands.
Yuan Yuxiao had an unspeakable feeling in her heart, put aside the coffee for the time being, and said the words that Mo Qing thought when she got up to buy iced coffee, "Actually, you don't like Xiaolu at all, so it's not absolutely impossible to be with Xiaolu - it all depends on your actual situation, now that Xiaolu hasn't been admitted to college, you seem to be going to have a long journey, and you know how much Xiaolu means a little bit to you, and I feel that I owe her a favor, and now you want me to help you deal with the aftermath, don't you?" ”
"I don't admit that I am Chen Shimei, this is imposed...... Don't worry, we're going to separate, and I really don't want to quarrel with you, I'm not in the mood! Okay, okay, you say yes, even if it's it! ”
The two of them were silent for a moment.
"So......" Yuan Yuxiao always couldn't bear Mo Qing, "what do you want me to do?" Help you communicate your ...... Well, what do you mean by declining her? How do you want me to communicate? ”
"This doesn't exist at all, and she didn't propose anything, how can I refuse! So back to the beginning - we don't have anything at all, I can't learn from Don Quixote to fight the windmills! ”
"yes, I don't know what to say, hint at it? Get a shot? ”
Mo Qing gritted his teeth.
"It's all about this, our brothers are the same, we don't hide it, open the skylight and say something bright, Xiaolu is actually quite good, kind, cheerful, isn't it......" Mo Qing still stopped, blushing. This time he is really not cool, but the following words are really difficult to continue.
A flash of lightning flashed through Yuan Yuxiao's heart.
"Could it be...... Don't...... Do you want to ...... Be a setter and pass the ball to me? Yuan Yuxiao felt incredible, and spit out this sentence with great difficulty.
Mo Qing put down the cup heavily, and made a lot of determination, "Okay, I'll still say it bluntly, Xiaolu is very good, Yuxiao, I believe she is a good friend you like, of course...... Of course, you may be ...... now Maybe you can't say that you mean that to her, but accepting her shouldn't be a problem at all! And you are also a good person, you will not treat Xiaolu badly, maybe this result is my best explanation to Xiaolu, I hope Xiaolu is more ...... I don't know if it's appropriate or not--fertilizer and water don't flow into outsiders' fields, so that the three of us will still be together forever, I'm not a conscienceless person when I do this, right? ”
