Chapter 23: Pandora Climbing Flowers
In Shui Qing's memory, there was a Pandora-like box that contained three things: anger, pain, and sorrow. And all three of these things come from the same person.
Lu Manli! Bai Zixi's cousin!
She was as pure as an angel on the outside, but dark as a devil in her heart. Therefore, Shui Qing once had a heart-to-heart with her, until she found that she was doomed, and Bai Zixi was out of reach of her.
So, the first thought that came to Shui Qing's mind was - flash! Fate has changed, hasn't it? She's almost a stranger to Bai Zixi now, isn't she? There's no need to know Lu Manli, is there? The ego in my heart clung to the box that seemed to be about to riot.
Like a crab, one step sideways, one step sideways -
"Gu Yunyun, Zhu Jieyu, are you here to buy books?" Who is the other one? With their backs to them, they went averse.
This Momo is not only silent enough, but also a desert of enthusiasm! Roast the Dead's Desert! If you don't know him well, what do you say hello?
The feathers fluttered lightly, their eyes fell and fell, and their vision wandered.
Yun Yun was familiar with herself, and happily spoke: "Yes." You're also here to buy books? ”
Nonsense, if you don't buy books in a bookstore, do you still come to drink tea? Shui Qing blew past and flashed people's eyes, and was hit back by Yun Yun's gloating gaze.
Trials her reaction to Bai Zixi? No problem! She didn't even remember that his birthday was today, but she knew her own determination. The point is, she is extremely, very, unwilling to meet the witch!
"Han Shuiqing, hello."
If she doesn't look back, don't pretend to be familiar with her, okay?
But this voice is not Momo! It's not fast, but it's like a brew. It's not refreshing, but it's like a night tide. Bai Zixi, always different.
Shui Qing turned around slowly, his face had been replaced with a bright smile, stretched out his hand, waved it twice, and smiled like a spring breeze at the group of four people in front of him, "Hello everyone." ”
The first to jump into her eyes was a cluster of red, and a white one. Red is hellfire, white is heavenly clouds. Blink and open again, cat-like eyes, ripple lips, pink cheeks, baby fat, sweet moles, not childish, cute and generous.
Bai Zixi didn't squint, and fell on Shui Qing, although the introduction was formulaic, there was a friendliness that was not difficult to detect, "This is my cousin Lu Manli, who was admitted to Yunshang from H City this year. ”
Lu Manli quietly looked at Shui Qing and the three of them behind Bai Zixi, seemed shy, pulled his sleeve, and asked softly, "Cousin, are you classmates?" ”
Before Bai Zixi could speak, Mo Mo took the lead, and he didn't know where he got so many smiles, showing that his lips were red and his teeth were white, "Before and now, your cousin and mine are classmates." He also gave Lu Manli his name one by one.
"Oh." Lu Manli smiled at Shui Qing, "Hello." ”
I didn't feel good when I saw her. Shui Qing maintained an indifferent expression, deducing the politeness of alienation, his eyes were unwavering, and the person still fell three steps behind Feather and Yunyun, in order to shorten the psychological distance between the four people opposite.
"You're not going to buy English reference books? You can ask Han Shuiqing, she is the top English student in the whole grade, and she gets full marks every time. Mo Mo mouthed again, pointed at Shui Qing, and was also responsible for serving as a guide for Lu Manli.
He simply changed his name to Mo Feimo. Shui Qing was a little evil-minded, pinching the book in his hand tightly, afraid that he would not be able to control it and smash it on his head.
"Really?" Lu Manli's cat's eyes were wide open, and the sweet mole on her right cheek was raised slightly, "More powerful than my cousin?" ”
"How can that be compared?" Zhang Miao, who had been silent for a long time, said, affectionately grabbed Lu Manli's arm, and couldn't hide her ridicule in a voice that was not big but everyone could hear, "She didn't pass the final exam of her first year of high school, and she didn't pass her English." ”
Spit it out. Shui Qing rolled the book into a cylinder, slapped his palms lightly, put his fingers away, and squinted his fox eyes comfortably, imagining the dripping feeling of clapping his hands. She would rather be a mediocre fool in Lu Manli's eyes than lead this person with demonic horns in her heart to choose any reference books.
"Or, Zhang Miao, you can accompany me to choose." Lu Manli tilted her little face and thought about it, for the sake of safety, she still asked someone she knew to help.
Zhang Miao was so unhappy, the black beauty became black and bright, as if climbing something, showing the glory. smiled and said a word, and went to the English world with Lu Manli.
"Cousin, you pick a good book, don't pay for it yourself. Well, I'm going to give you a birthday present this year. Lu Manli walked a few steps, turned her head, and coquettishly looked at Bai Zixi.
"Got it." Bai Zixi hurts this cousin very much. Because his parents are abroad all the year round, he has been living at his aunt's house in H City. Later, I took the cloud exam and lived in my grandparents' house in this city. The two live together from snacks, and Lu Manli is like her own sister.
When they were far away, Bai Zixi came over and flipped through the books placed next to Shui Qing, "If you roll up the book in your hand, the clerk will definitely let you buy it." ”
Shui Qing looked down, the decoration of the famous store had been rolled up to the bottom, mostly because he had overimagined himself and sacrificed heroically under happiness. Seeing Bai Zixi's face smiling, she was still stunned, and she couldn't help but get angry, spread out the book, bent it up and down twice, patted the writing again, and raised her right eyebrow, "Isn't this flat?" Besides, buy it. ”
"I'm kidding." Bai Zixi also raised his eyebrows. Her face was bulging, and she looked angry, not at all as taciturn as before, funny and interesting. wanted to laugh, but was afraid that she would misunderstand him, so he gagged his index finger to his mouth, and was so smart that he covered it up.
Bai Zixi is joking with her? always gives people the appearance of a gentleman who is elegant and elegant, maintains a relationship with most of his classmates as light as white water, and has always been a high-ranking class president and little teacher, this person, but now he says that he is joking with her! Don't let her live a short life!
Shui Qing's heart thundered loudly, and an alarm sounded in his mind. However, on one side, Yun Yun and Yu were eyeing each other, and on the other side, Mo Mo was in good time. She bit her lip and squeezed out a refreshing smile, "Squad leader, you are so humorous." I'm in a hurry—" Before the word time could be spoken, Yun Yun tossed again.
"Your birthday today?" She was obviously asking Bai Zixi.
"Yes." Bai Zixi returned to the squad leader's politeness and replied briefly.
"How are you going to celebrate?" Yun Yun is so verbose today that she doesn't like to talk, which is a reversal of the reserved image of everyone's ladies.
How to celebrate? How do you care how to celebrate someone's birthday? Even if they climb the knife mountain and swim in the sea of fire, they are willing! Shui Qing was speechless and lowered her head, staring at her toes, counting beats, and chanting incantations. Hurry up and end this unnutritious, even unhealthy conversation. It's not a tea party, standing and chatting for too long is not good for physical development.
"We booked a restaurant to eat Cantonese food." Mo Mo seemed to be the host, rushing to talk, "Zhang Miao, they are all here, you can come too, there are many people." Bai Zixi said that he had a treat and didn't need a gift. ”
"No-" Shui Qing raised her head, intending to politely refuse again. However, some people did not let her finish her sentence.
"Okay, we're free this weekend anyway." This time it was replaced with a feather, she was selfish, she didn't want to go home, so she went to eat a free meal, and she was unwilling to pull her.
"Then, I'll see you at the Yongchun Pavilion at seven o'clock." Bai Zixi seemed to be very happy that someone helped him burn money, his black eyes smiled again, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Don't buy gifts." ”
It's a reminder that don't forget to buy gifts. Shui Qing has been trying to keep a distance from the previous scourges, but somehow, it seems that he can't hide or block it. And what to be afraid of, what to come.
Suddenly, Shui Qing was a little confused.
