Chapter 7: Zhong Gu
Yu Xiaolu didn't pay attention to Yuan Yuxiao's expression at all, her personality was a little rough, which didn't seem to be commensurate with her petite and delicate figure, her small melon seed face, delicate facial features, slipping shoulders, her image was much younger than her actual age, and she looked like a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl.
"Oh, you went to Liu Side's house, how did he do in the exam?"
"Secondary school, although not ideal, he is very satisfied."
"I'll be satisfied! Who can compare to a high-achieving student like you and Mo Qing! ”
Yuan Yuxiao smiled slightly awkwardly.
"I went to Mo Qing's house and there was no one, and when I arrived at your house, I was empty, and the two of you were not at home at the same time, I pinched my fingers and counted, thinking that I might be here ......" Yu Xiaolu looked smug.
It is said that Yu Xiaolu should not be in a good mood now, but at least she can't see it at all. She has always been like this, and it is rare to see her when she is sad, at best she has a sunny personality, and at worst she has no heart and lungs. This is also what Yuan Yuxiao likes about her very much, it is always easy to be with her, even if there is something unpleasant, she will be washed clean when she meets her.
They are good friends who have almost nothing to say for many years, and there is no problem or estrangement between each other, although others often joke about the relationship between the three of them, but Na Moqing and Yu Xiaolu did not take this joke seriously, and Yuan Yuxiao was also content with his position among the three people.
Although Yuan Yuxiao did not agree with Mo Qing's words just now, he subconsciously had some subtle changes in Xiaolu that were different from the past, but even he was not aware of this change at the moment.
When looking back on the past many years later, Yuan Yuxiao had a more sober explanation of the subconscious at this moment. Because many years later, this society has six * * lottery and all kinds of winning lotteries, Yuan Yuxiao was inspired by this. That's right! He subconsciously has a feeling of winning the lottery at the moment, the feeling of a pie falling from the sky, although this pie is not his favorite, but it comes easily, at no cost, and the key is - he doesn't even need to feel any guilt about Mo Qing psychologically, on the contrary, Mo Qing seems to owe him a heavenly favor. For him, who has always believed that more things are better than less, as long as he does not lose anything, it can be counted as earning, not to mention that he has really earned a lot of money. He can attack, retreat and defend, left and right, this is his favorite state, there is nothing to do, nothing to do.
Of course, this is a later story, but Yuan Yuxiao at this moment is a fan of the authorities.
The conversation he had just had with Mo Qing was just a kind of "agreement" - to be precise, it was just a sudden proposal from Mo Qing's list, not only Yu Xiaolu was completely unaware, but even Yuan Yuxiao did not agree to it.
However, Yuan Yuxiao was a little weak for no reason.
He vaguely had a feeling in his heart that as long as he agreed with and accepted Mo Qing's proposal, it was very likely that things would develop according to Mo Qing's proposal in the future.
This is not that he thinks that Yu Xiaolu is interested in him, but because he understands that Yu Xiaolu, like him, is the kind of character who can passively accept and be at peace with what happens.
He can often find himself from Yu Xiaolu. This is probably one of the reasons why the two of them are good and tacit.
The only problem is - this problem has been tenaciously generated from the beginning - although he may accept Yu Xiaolu, but if he accepts it in this way, his self-esteem will inevitably reject, and he looks like a person who picks up leaks no matter how he looks at it.
Why? Why? Why?
He just asked Mo Qing this question in a joking tone, and the reason Mo Qing gave was "he is a good person".
If it weren't for two well-known friends, this answer would be a tease, he knew that Mo Qing had no ill intentions, but that's all, he couldn't be satisfied with this answer - I'm afraid no one would be satisfied. So he could only torture himself non-stop.
But why did he have to torture himself like that? This was originally a ridiculous joke. It's he who takes it too seriously.
It's just that Yuan Yuxiao has never been a person who lets go of herself easily.
If he wants to let himself go at this time, he can only obey the most real feeling in his heart - it is really blasphemous to regard Yu Xiaolu as abandoned and leaked. has been friends for many years, and Yu Xiaolu still has a very important place in his heart.
Therefore, if you see this as a rare and precious opportunity, you can balance your mind. Opportunities can come in many forms, and this is one of them.
When you think about it, it feels really different.
In this way, Mo Qing's sentence "Fat water does not flow into outsiders' fields" really poked his heart secretly.
In the past, if Mo Qing and Yu Xiaolu really became a couple, he would sincerely bless him.
And if Yu Xiaolu "sheds outsiders' fields", what will happen to him?
When you ask this question, the answer is very clear. He should be very resistant and disappointed.
Yes, yes, change positions, if it wasn't for him holding hands with Xiaolu, but someone else stepped in, Mo Qing might feel like this.
Therefore, Mo Qing withdrew and entrusted him like this.
When I think about it, a sense of responsibility comes inexplicably.
It seems that Yu Xiaolu is a handful of clear spring in the hands of him and Mo Qing, Mo Qing pulled out his palm, if he doesn't continue, this clear spring will be entrusted to dust.
Could it be that there are really no good people in this world except for the two of them, only they are Yu Xiaolu's gods?
At this moment, his heart was really upside down, upside down, and full of thoughts.
Yu Xiaolu naturally didn't know Yuan Yuxiao's chaotic mind now, as soon as she sat down, she shouted: "I forgot to bring money today, please let me drink a cup of sour plum ......"
Before the words fell, she lowered her head and saw that it was a cup of iced coffee on the table, her eyes couldn't help but light up, she picked up the cup, and looked at it carefully.
"Huh! You don't drink sour plum soup today! ”
"A change of taste...... Actually, I'll tell you the truth, I prefer to drink iced coffee. ”
"Really?" She stared at him as if she didn't know Yuan Yuxiao for a while, and after confirming it through his expression, she began to applaud softly - she fully understood and fully believed the meaning of his various expressions.
So she shook her body upward, as if she was about to soar into the sky, "I'm just like you!" "The floodgates were opened, and there was a loud shout.
Is that so...... Yuan Yuxiao looked around, hoping that there were no people who were intimidated by her.
"Hey! But every time I come to drink sour plum soup with you, it's a bit of a disappointment! ”
It turned out that her emotions had been accumulated for many years, so it was no wonder that she was excited.
Yuan Yuxiao shook her head, what is this called!
"Well, no one is forcing you, you can ask for your own iced coffee!"
"I'll follow everyone the same, so why bother!" Yu Xiaolu actually looked like a matter of course.
Yuan Yuxiao smiled dumbly, and he was troublesome. Let's see, we're twins.
Then he shook his head and smiled bitterly, he couldn't imagine that for Mo Qing's taste, not only himself, but Yu Xiaolu also drank sour plum soup for a few years.
Of course, sour plum soup is far cheaper than iced coffee, so it saves a lot of pocket money for more meaningful uses, such as buying books.
Yuan Yuxiao easily found a supplement for herself.
"I'm coming with you today, drink iced coffee!" Yu Xiaolu was happy, she was a person who was easy to be happy.
"It's the idiom that says, whatever you sing, whatever you ......" Yuan Yuxiao made a joke.
"Bad guys!" Yu Xiaolu kicked him hard under the table.
Yuan Yuxiao's heart froze, he suddenly felt that he was even joking today, as if he was being led by something, there seemed to be a deep pit in front of him, which kept him cautious, and he unconsciously slipped into the pit, the more he wanted to collect it, the more he couldn't contain it.
Only the word "ghost" can describe this condition.
Is this the so-called fate?
"Hurry up and buy it, I'm dying of heat!" Yu Xiaolu said a little coquettishly because of his joke.
Yuan Yuxiao hurriedly responded, stood up and was about to go to the counter, when she touched her body, her face suddenly turned red.
He didn't even bring any money!
He was penniless when the best girl asked him for a cold drink!
Today Mo Qing dragged him out, and said that he was invited to be a guest, the weather was hot, he was wearing a jersey, and it was inconvenient to bring things on his body, and he was afraid that he would accidentally lose it with money, and he didn't need to spend other money anyway, so he didn't bring anything except the key.
His lazy habit of not carrying anything without anything has once again pitted him. He had made many resolutions to change, but he couldn't.
He looked around in vain, hoping that Mo Qing would suddenly fall from the sky!
Of course, there can be no rescuer for him, and he has no second way except to tell the truth and resign himself to fate.
Fortunately, it was Yu Xiaolu sitting opposite.
"My money...... I just ran out of ......," he said, sitting down, seeing the iced coffee in front of him, and blushing, he said, "Why don't you drink this cup." He looked around like a thief and quickly pushed his cup of iced coffee over. Fortunately, he still hasn't been able to drink this cup.
Yu Xiaolu pursed her lips and sneered in her nose, "Hmph, what, you don't want anything left, I'll take it!" ”
If you don't want anything left, I'll pick it up......
These words rolled past Yuan Yuxiao's heart like thunder.
Does he really want to take Yu Xiaolu's handful of clear springs from Mo Qing......
He was calm, and said with a smile: "It's really not like you don't want to drink leftovers, I just brought it, I didn't drink it at all, you came, I don't believe it, it's still a full glass!" ”
"Ouch, I'm still in a hurry, can I not believe you?" Yu Xiaolu took a big sip when he brought it over, "It's hot, let's take a sip first, ah, it's so comfortable!" She looked at Yuan Yuxiao and said, "Don't sit still, have a drink with me, it's strange to drink alone...... Oh, you don't have any money! ”
"Shhhh It's okay to be softer! Yuan Yuxiao suppressed her voice hard, "I just drank sour plum soup, and I'm not thirsty at all." I'll sit with you and it's fine. Afraid that Yu Xiaolu wouldn't believe it, he knocked on the empty cup of sour plum soup in front of him.
Suddenly, seeing Mo Qing's empty cup also placed squarely beside him, he couldn't help but shake his hand, and almost didn't touch the cup to the ground. He stabilized the cup and secretly glanced at Yu Xiaolu's eyes.
Yu Xiaolu laughed, "Don't look at me secretly, I'm used to it, you are full of hooks and thorns, and you have been moving everywhere for decades, and the jars and jars I have seen with my own eyes have a reinforcement connection!" Since watching the movie "Crossing the River Reconnaissance" in elementary school, Yu Xiaolu likes to use "a reinforced company" to describe the large number.
Yuan Yuxiao breathed a sigh of relief, Yu Xiaolu finally didn't pay attention to the origin of this empty cup.
"Hmph, you have money if you eat alone, but I don't have money when I come!" Yu Xiaolu laughed at him, afraid that he would be too embarrassed, and then said: "Which of these two is the cup you used, then I'll pour you some coffee - why didn't the waiter clean up the table." ”
"Business is good here, but waiters can't win." Yuan Yuxiao hurriedly put Mo Qing's empty cup on the adjacent table, and when she turned around, she saw Yu Xiaolu taking his cup and preparing to divide the coffee.
"How embarrassed to share you, I really can't drink it, it's swollen." Yuan Yuxiao hurriedly stopped.
"I've never heard of drinking cold drinks and getting swollen, you see me take a sip and think I'm dirty!"
"How could it be...... Okay, you can just pour a bite......" Yuan Yuxiao was afraid that she would be too careful, so she could only accept it.
"Of course!" Yu Xiaolu carefully poured some for him, and then poured it back a little, comparing the two cups with one another, before putting it down, "Hmph, I don't have much for you!" ”
"Enough is enough!"
Now Yuan Yuxiao has about a third of the cup of coffee in her cup, which is a guarantee that he can sit down with her.
"I borrow flowers to offer Buddha, congratulations on having a good job and an iron rice bowl!" Yu Xiaolu raised her glass and said.
"Thank you!" Yuan Yuxiao raised her glass and touched her, and then took a small sip very shallowly. If you need to spend more time with her, the coffee must be drunk slowly.
It's like a barrage with limited ammunition, blocking the last days of their school days.
At this moment, there was a faint trace of sadness, and the wisp of coffee slowly soaked into Yuan Yuxiao's heart.
At the same time, because the coffee came from the cup that Yu Xiaolu had taken a sip of, Yu Xiaolu's unique faint breath was also captured by Yuan Yuxiao's super sensitive mouth and nose.
In the past, Yuan Yuxiao felt that it was a kind of fresh fragrance of green tea.
But today, he felt the youthful breath of a girl in it!
This is a strange thing!
As if he was given a Gu by Mo Qing, everything today seems to be different from before!
