Chapter 40: Long time no see
The waiter brought the teapot and looked at the tea slowly and methodically.
Then, he handed the teacup to Chu Xiao and said deeply: "From your eyes, I see infinite possibilities. ”
Chu Xiao didn't speak, drinking tea absentmindedly, burning his mouth so much that he didn't know it.
This Longjing seems to be no different from cheap aged tea, it is bitter with a hint of sweetness, but the price is far from it.
Maybe he hasn't drunk any tea and doesn't have a deep study of tea, so he feels that all tea in the world is the same taste.
After chatting for more than ten minutes, they had a general impression of each other in their hearts, and then Chang Feng answered the phone and left in a hurry.
Chang Feng wanted to send him back to the school first, but he refused, he didn't want to delay other people's affairs, and since they all came out, it was better to meet Sister Xin, I don't know if she is good lately.
However, when I walked out of the teahouse, I was confused.
In this world, except for Black Street and Huada Library, he has never been to other places, and he is also a 100% road idiot, so he has no choice but to ask for directions.
After asking no less than three passers-by, I came to that familiar place.
went to the bubble tea shop to buy a cup of original milk tea, he knew that Sister Xin loved to drink this, and wanted to buy a cup for Sister Xin for a long time, but the price of six federal coins discouraged him, and now, although he is still poor, he can still afford this money.
I don't know if Sister Xin is on duty today, so buying a cup of milk tea in advance can be regarded as buying a hope.
When he stepped into the library, many of his peers or younger children stared at him, just because the uniform was too eye-catching.
Sika's school uniform, ugly to ugly, is a garment that countless children are eager to wear, and it symbolizes a bright future.
Straight up to the second floor, as soon as I turned around, I saw a familiar back arranging the scattered books on the shelves.
Walking slowly, she didn't notice anyone standing behind her, so he gently patted her on the shoulder.
She turned her head, first stunned, and then a thick smile appeared on her beautiful face, and in that smile, there was a weak paleness.
"Chu Xiao?!"
There was surprise in her tone, a slightly high tone, and for a moment she forgot that this was the library.
The children, who were reading the books, looked up and looked at this place with annoyance.
Someone suddenly spoke loudly in the quiet environment, it was always so annoying, however, their eyes quickly changed from boredom to envy, they glanced at Chu Xiao deeply, gritted their teeth and clenched their fists, secretly made an oath, and quickly buried their heads, as if they were angry.
"Sister Xin, long time no see."
Chu Xiao lowered his voice as much as he could, and raised the milk tea with one hand, "I bought it for you." ”
Su Xin was not hypocritical, she took the milk tea with both hands and felt so warm.
"Congratulations, Chu Xiao, you have been admitted to Sika Academy."
The school uniform couldn't hide her eyes, and she didn't recognize it when they first met, and her face, which was a little round, almost made her mistake a student from a Sika school who was looking for something for her.
The boy who was so thin in his impression that he only had a skeleton left, but now he has become this sturdy appearance, and it has only been more than a month since he was full, less than two months, and such a change is like being changed by the gods.
"It seems that the food at Sika Academy is very good, look at you are all fat, I'm afraid you will feel scared now when you see you who used to be skinny." Su Xin took a sip of milk tea and said with a smile.
Chu Xiao smiled, "It's not too scared, but I also admire my previous self, I have survived such difficult conditions." ”
"God sees everything you do, and God will not disappoint those who have a heart."
He nodded approvingly, indeed, everything now is inseparable from his own efforts, and of course from the secrets that belong only to him.
"Sister, you sign me up for a training class, otherwise I compare what I do with others, everyone has a teacher to teach, and I hold a few broken books to read all day long, which is not fair."
"If I can't pass the exam, don't blame me, it's not that I'm not angry as a younger brother, it's that you, who are a sister, didn't give me the best."
Suddenly, a boy with oblique bangs came running noisily, which directly affected the rest of the people to read.
Su Xin, who was originally very happy, pulled down her face in an instant, she didn't expect that her younger brother, who was disobedient to discipline, would really talk to her during her work hours.
Chu Xiao could see that Sister Xin was angry, that boy should be the younger brother mentioned by Sister Xin.
Don't talk about Sister Xin, even he, an outsider, is very angry, and he only knows how to complain about others, but he doesn't find problems in himself, will never be productive, unless he can eradicate this problem.
In order not to affect the crowd reading the book, Su Xin ran to drag the boy to the corner and made a big look.
But her brother kept yelling, and some of the children who read couldn't stand the noise, so they had to put bookmarks in the books, go downstairs, and continue to read the unfinished books.
"Shixuan, you are thirteen years old this year, can you understand something? My parents died early, your food, clothing, housing and transportation are all borne by me, I never complain about anything, you are my younger brother, this is what I should do, I will also do my best to love you, give you the best, what you want, within the scope of my ability, I will satisfy you, but this time...... Forgive my sister, okay? ”
Su Xin almost persuaded her younger brother in a pleading tone, hoping that the latter could understand her as a sister, along the way, it was really not easy for her, she had too many things on her shoulders, and it was likely that adding another straw would be enough to crush her.
Chu Xiao stood not far away and watched, his vision was blocked by the condensed mist, causing him to not be able to see how many tears were hidden in Sister Xin's eyes, and how much helplessness was written on her face.
She had never told him that because he was an outsider.
Sister Xin has always behaved like a pistachio in front of him, always with a smile on her face, never complaining about anything, as if she is really carefree.
sighed at most, hoping that his younger brother could study as hard as he did, and be admitted to a good university in the future, not to say anything about getting ahead, at least to be decent, and not to run for life.
She gave her younger brother the opportunity to study, made money to support her family, and did not ask her brother to understand her, but only asked her brother to study hard.
However, even this is the simplest request, my brother can't do it, and often complains about this, complains about that, she doesn't have the strength to quarrel with her brother anymore, she is tired.
"Okay, I don't force it, then I'll mess around in the future, resign myself to fate, don't blame me if I can't pass the exam when the time comes, who told you not to provide me with a good learning environment."
Su Shixuan tilted his head, not even bothering to look at his own sister.
"Shixuan, do you want your sister to kneel for you?"
A few tears slipped from the corners of Su Xin's reddened eyes, and her voice gradually deepened.
"Humph!"
Su Shixuan still didn't look at it, and put on a cold face with his hands on his chest.
Su Xin's legs were about to bend, but her movements were stopped by a strong arm.
"Enough!"
Chu Xiao didn't want to interfere in other people's family affairs, but there was no way, who made his heart so fragile that he couldn't bear to see others cry, not to mention that the person who shed tears was not someone else, but Sister Xin, who had taken good care of him before.
At that time, if she had a bite to eat, she would not miss him, even if her family was so poor that it could be broken at any time......
