Chapter 97
What did he look for her for?
Ling Xiquan thought worriedly, and suddenly found that they were walking along the road in the direction of her house.
Could it be that she subconsciously led Ye Qingting astray?
Thinking wildly, the boy next to him suddenly spoke up, "I told Xie You, if Liu Yao looks for you next time, you go directly to him." ”
"Huh?" She didn't react for a moment, and looked at him.
Ye Qingting patiently repeated, "I said, if Liu Yao pesters you, go to Xie You for help, I have already mentioned it to him." ”
Ling Xiquan responded obediently, glanced at him a few times, and couldn't help asking, "Why?" ”
The boy looked at her in confusion.
Perhaps it had been too long since she had made such close eye contact, and her heart throbbed, and then her heart beat clearly and violently.
She looked away as she pretended to be very natural, and asked, "Why are you helping me?" ”
The boy stopped.
She also stopped, and then saw the boy next to her looking thoughtfully ahead.
"It's your house."
She was stunned for a moment, then looked around.
Really.
However, how did Ye Qingting know that she lived here?
She was slightly puzzled, but when she met the boy's gaze, as if she saw her doubts, he explained, "Isn't there a bookstore near your house?" I lost my workbook once, so I went to the bookstore and bought a new one, and I happened to see you walking into the neighborhood in front of me, which is here. ”
"That's right." She nodded with relief, and suddenly remembered that the question she had just asked was avoided by him like this, and frowned a little unwillingly, but saw Ye Qingting take the schoolbag to her chest, lowered her head, unzipped it, and took out two things.
One is a blue paper bag and the other is a blue stuffed bear.
Similarly, in the middle of the paper bag and on the heart of the stuffed bear, there is a brown logo - >
Chocolate?
She recognized the brand at a glance, watching him hold these two things in one hand and zip up his schoolbag with the other.
"For you." Ye Qingting threw the schoolbag behind him again, stretched out his hand, and handed the two things in his hand to the girl in front of him.
Although he had a premonition from the time Ye Qingting took out these two things, when the boy really handed them to him, Ling Xiquan's hands hanging on both sides were still a little helpless and loosened.
She secretly took a deep breath, took the thing in Ye Qingting's hand, and pretended to be curious and lowered her head to play, "What is this?" Separate gifts? ”
"It's not." The boy's denial came softly, and she couldn't help but look up, seeing a light smile on his lips, and his eyes were faintly soft, "It's my birthday next week." ”
"Huh? What's your birthday? Ling Xiquan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he said that June 18 was next week, and she had forgotten his birthday.
The hand holding the stuffed bear tightened a little, and her heart suddenly became embarrassed, and she showed a trace of embarrassment, "Your birthday...... I should give you a gift, how can I become your ......" she couldn't go on.
Ye Qingting shook his head, "You don't need to prepare a birthday gift for me, I suddenly came out of you today, in fact, I was abrupt." Then, he looked at the slightly red face of the girl in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Some time ago, on the one hand, I was preparing for the interview, on the other hand, I grew up here, and my mother was afraid that I would not be used to the studies and courses there when I went to the UK, so my father asked a teacher to tutor me, so I didn't go to school." ”
Is this explaining to her?
Ling Xiquan calmed down a little and asked, "So you mean, you're leaving next week?" ”
He hesitated again, then bowed his head slightly.
This answer was not too surprising to her.
It seems that from the day she knew that he was leaving, she had been preparing to hear this answer day and night, even if she was frightened, even if she was afraid, but when she really heard Ye Qingting's admission, she was not as panicked as she imagined.
"Really? Pretty good. She laughed against her will.
Her eyes were still clear and quiet, and she smiled, as if even the dark sky had become brighter.
Ye Qingting looked at her silently, and when he saw her lowering her head and playing with the bear in her hand again, her lips pursed tightly, and said, "Then, you go up, I'll go back." ”
Ling Xiquan raised his head and nodded slightly.
The sky was getting dark, and the street lights were lit up one by one.
He didn't leave immediately, the orange light hit his face, and he sketched a gaze that seemed to be so deep before, like reluctance, like patience, and like carving everything into his eyes through such a gaze.
Then, without saying a word, he turned around.
"Ye Qingting!" At this moment, Ling Xiquan finally panicked a little and blurted out to stop him.
Ye Qingting paused, looked back at her, and the amber eyes were familiar with clarity and softness.
In an instant, many images flashed through her mind.
He and her were holding an umbrella.
He handed her a napkin.
He took his mineral water.
The way he talked to her.
Slowly intersecting, the only constant is his eyes, eternally unpredictable, but always filled with a trace of misty tenderness.
However, there seems to be no next time, because he is about to leave.
She suddenly had the urge to tell him that she liked him.
I've liked him for a long, long time.
"Ye Qingting, I ......"
She had just said a few words, and suddenly saw a trace of panic flash in Ye Qingting's eyes, who had turned around.
When the words came to her mouth, she froze slightly, and this time, the boy spoke up before her, "Ling Xiquan, do you remember what you said?" ”
His light cold brown eyes were unfazed, as if the momentary panic was just a psychedelic illusion under the dim street lamp.
"What?" She asked subconsciously.
"That time when I studied the army, on the last day I watched the art show, what you said after you almost fell." He spoke softly, as if recalling the brief two sentences of conversation that day, and there was a moment of distraction on his face, and a trace of incomprehensible complexity appeared in his eyes.
She stared at him in a daze, not understanding what he meant by this.
Then she saw him look back at her, his lips moving slightly, and he put the words very softly, "I wanted to say to you at the time...... But, Ling Xiquan, I can't catch you every time. ”
