Chapter 11: Him and Her
After a long wait of three weeks, the midterm exam results are finally in. Transcripts are posted on bulletin boards in each college office building for students to view.
Early in the morning, Si Li, who had no intention of eating, hurried to the results bulletin board with great nervousness, and carefully looked for his name.
At this time, very few people came to check the score. There are probably more than 100 freshmen in this college, and these people know that they have no hope of going abroad, so they are wide and fat.
"Silly?" A familiar and sweet voice came from behind. Si Li turned around and found Xiao Mu standing behind him, holding a few thick books on his chest.
"I'll get it for you. You're here to check your results, too? Silly asked for the book very gentlemanly.
"yes, by the way, return a few books. I was too busy reviewing some time ago and forgot. I'm going to be deducted from my money. Xiao Mu didn't thank Si Li for her friendly behavior, and came to the bulletin board to look for her results.
"How much did you get?" Si Li asked while looking Xiao Mu up and down. Xiao Mu was dressed very casually today, casually as if his little sister was standing in front of him.
"I'm just like you, and I'm safe." The smile when Xiao Mu turned around to agree to him was very similar to the performance of the little sister when she successfully extorted pocket money from him.
"That's good...... That's good......" For some reason, Si Li was also inexplicably afraid of Xiao Mu. Could it be caused by the psychological shadow caused by the little sister to him?
Like Si Li's concept, Xiao Mu only pursues 60 points of long live, but he does not have the evil idea of committing 1 more point of crime. Xiao Mu asked for the book from Si Li's hand with great satisfaction, and walked towards the library. The pace is slightly brisk with the wind. And Si Li still lives in the shadow given by this girl who looks like a little sister.
"By the way, she's coming soon. But you have to be mentally prepared for something. Suddenly, Xiao Mu turned around and said to Si Li with a smile on his face. The "she" she was referring to might be as good as anyone who knew Si Li could guess who it was.
Slim was embarrassed again...... He just silently watched Xiao Mu leave.
It didn't take long for a familiar figure to appear in his sight. However, next to that figure, there was one more strange man.
Sili hurried to flee, but the pace of escape became slower and slower, and finally stopped. He turned back to look at the pair......
Today's Mu Qing, with her easy-going dress, has been walking with her head down. The men around him are dressed in avant-garde clothes. The man kept holding Mu Qing, but the woman seemed reluctant and always wanted to break free. But the more the girl resisted, the harder the boy held the slender hand. The two walked to the billboard, the man began to look for something, and Mu Qing looked around indifferently.
Si Li had just seen Mu Qing's results, the first place in the whole college. This achievement is enough for her to become a candidate without any suspense.
It seems that the man is looking for the name of the literary fairy, and it seems to have found it, and it can be seen from his expression that he is so overjoyed. He dragged the girl next to him, face to face, and whispered something. But Mu Qing still didn't show any happy expression. Suddenly, she pushed the man away, as if questioning something. Faced with the sudden question, the man put away his joyful expression, and turned to a puzzled and disappointed face. He began to frantically gesturing with his hands and feet. But Mu Qing fell into silence again.
Maybe he was tired, maybe he was angry, the man shook his hand and walked away. Mu Qing saw the man walking away and did not chase after him, but walked in the opposite direction of the man.
Seeing Mu Qing walking towards her side step by step, Si Li was a little panicked. A trembling body was telling Slim that she was crying softly. Si Li wanted to go up, but she didn't have the courage.
The distance was getting closer and closer, but Mu Qing, who was drooping her head, still didn't see Si Li's existence. Si Li quickly hid in a small supermarket on the side of the road and pretended to be a buyer.
He looked at her passing figure until he disappeared from sight.
Si Li, who had planned to go to the sea for a meal after successfully crossing the catastrophe, has no appetite now. A person strolling through the campus, walking aimlessly. He knew that at the moment, he was in love with someone he probably shouldn't like.
I was tired of walking, so tired that my feet were like lead, and I was so tired that I didn't want to open my eyes again, so I simply went back to sleep.
By the time I opened my eyes again, it was about 7 o'clock in the afternoon. This sleep is long enough, and pure enough, without a dream.
When I woke up, I found 3 missed calls on my phone. The missed time was only 13 minutes.
"If you don't answer the phone, I'll go back to see if you're out of breath. Hurry up and get up! The dormitory brothers' exam scores have all passed the passing line. Xiangshui people are concentrated, and if you don't get drunk, you won't return! Mr. Wei, please! On the other end of the phone, Wu Di vented his joy in a roaring way.
"I don't really want to drink today, or ......" Si Li wanted to refuse.
"Don't talk nonsense, the girl you want will also arrive." After making up the lie, Zhang Wei's voice came from the other end of the phone, and then the phone was hung up.
Listening to the sound of "doodoo ......" on the phone, Si Li kept shaking her head in bed, hesitating.
In the end, a little affection and a great desire for food overcame everything, and Sili decided to travel light. So, without any makeup, he put his hands in his pockets and swaggered towards the meeting place.
In the box, Wu Di and Zhang Wei were arranging drinks and seats, while Xiao Mu was ordering food seriously.
Ten minutes later, the feast began. But Mu Qing was absent......
"Xiao Mugang told us that Mu Qing shouldn't come if she has something." Zhang Wei, who was pouring the wine, noticed that something was wrong with Si Li.
Seeing that someone had debunked him, Sili had to quickly raise his glass and signal everyone to celebrate together. Although this is a bit unauthentic and steals the limelight from Zhang Wei, it can be regarded as a kind of revenge. Everyone also bypassed the topic with great interest and enjoyed the food.
During the meal, everyone first chatted about the hardships of reviewing before the exam, then discussed the recent plans, and then recalled the desperate time of the previous senior year of high school. At the dinner table, there was always laughter. Although Si Li had a heart, he still smiled at each other, but he said very little.
Wu Di also saw the clue, pushed Zhang Wei with his elbow, and motioned for him to take a look at Sili.
"What's wrong? Is it that important? Come! Drink! Zhang Wei, who reacted, went to "disturb" Sili's "loneliness".
"I didn't ...... Not...... I'll go to the bathroom, you guys drink...... Drink ......" Si Li was a little embarrassed when she saw that everyone was looking at him again, and quickly explained and left the table.
The bathroom is adjacent to the balcony, and after washing her face, Si Li silently leans on the balcony and watches the traffic outside. In the box, everyone talked and laughed. He didn't want to bother anymore.
He took out his mobile phone, looked at Mu Qing's contact interface on his phone, and didn't dare to dial it. He thought that at this time, Mu Qing might be accompanying that man to go shopping and eating romantically.
"If you want to know something, just call it." At some point, Xiao Mu walked behind him and took his mobile phone to help him make that call.
"Hey...... Don't......" Si Li wanted to snatch his phone back, but Xiao Mu nimbly dodged it. The ringtone on the other end of the phone was so crisp.
"Hey......?" Over there, Mu Qing's nice but slightly sad voice came.
"Take it, say it!" Xiao Mu handed the phone to Si Li.
"Ban...... Squad leader, didn't you say today that you want everyone to get together to celebrate? In the end, Si Li still didn't call out Mu Qing's name.
"Oh...... I have something ......" Mu Qing seemed to be about to explain something, but Si Li vaguely heard a man asking, "Who is this in your class?" You can't tell? Still asked? So much nonsense......" On the other end of the phone, the man's voice was so clear and full of anger.
"Then you're busy, don't bother." Si Li may have understood something, and hurriedly hung up the phone.
Xiao Mu in front of him, with a slight red face and a smile, quietly listened to the conversation between Si Li and Mu Qing on the phone. After the conversation, Xiao Mu had no intention of going back to the box to continue the carnival, but leaned on the balcony like Si Li, nibbling on the chicken wings in his hand.
"Hey, why are you going to be a bad guy and hurt me?" Si Li was very angry when she saw Xiao Mu making trouble like this, but she looked at her like a cute little sister, and she couldn't bear to blame, and her words were sharp but her tone was inferior.
"You! I don't understand anything, but I pretend to know everything. The two were silent for half a minute, and Xiao Mu opened his mouth to criticize. This tone and words are exactly the same as Xiaomei.
"Me? Don't understand anything? Silly was a little confused by the question.
"It's not that I don't understand. You lack a bit of courage. Sister Qing's matter, it's inconvenient for me to say. But I think you know that too. You're still waiting for things to be clear, right? But let me warn you, opportunities wait for no one. All the things you want are not obtained by waiting, but by fighting. Xiao Mu thought for a moment and added: "As long as you choose to make a move, I and all my sisters in the dormitory will support you!" After that, the girl who looked like a little sister didn't explain more, patted the shoulder of the person next to her with her hand, and walked back to the box.
Si Li was stunned again, he didn't understand what Xiao Mu meant. However, he gradually became happier, because he seemed to be slowly beginning to understand Xiao Mu's words. The few glasses of wine that had just been in his stomach warmed up Si Li's lonely and worried body in the cold night.
By the time the dinner was over, it was already 9 o'clock in the evening.
The men and women left happily. Si Li was just about to go to the dormitory when he was pulled by Wu Di. Wu Di gestured with his head and looked at Xiao Mu. Si Li looked at it, but didn't find anything strange.
"I suggest you'd better send her back! Unless you don't want to know anything more. Wu Di was a little skeptical that Si Li was really drunk.
"Oooh...... Also! Thinking of what Xiao Mu said just now, Si Li also felt that she should be sent, maybe she could really get some important information from it.
In the face of Si Li's kindness, Xiao Mu didn't feel surprised, and said with a smile, "Okay, thank you." ”
Walking out of the hotel, Si Li did not go in the direction of the girls' dormitory. Xiao Mu didn't question it, but silently followed the man in front of him to the People's Park at the north gate of the school.
At this time, Wuhan is basically in winter. The size of the crowd in the park has dropped significantly, but there are still a few couples sitting on the lawn chatting.
"You don't think you're stupid." The silence of the two was broken by Xiao Mu's words. "You still want to know what's wrong with her today, don't you?" Maybe he was tired of walking, Xiao Mu stopped and picked a lawn to sit down.
"Uh...... Sort of. "Si Li has a bad habit of blushing and being embarrassed when someone tells her to tell her about it. He sat down, but kept his distance very gentlemanly.
Xiao Mu looked at Si Li's actions and smiled heartily again. But she didn't mean to say anything, as if she was waiting for Sili to ask.
"What's wrong with her today? When I looked at the results, I noticed that she seemed to have a conflict with a man. Sili asked cautiously.
"Hey...... I knew you were going to see it. Xiao Mu smiled unabashedly.
"What do you mean? That should be the boyfriend she said earlier, right? Silly was a little puzzled by her laughter.
"She also found you today, but she didn't say hello when she saw you like that. The man was her boyfriend, and they were high school classmates......" Xiao Mu began to tell Mu Qing's story.
"That man is the one who asked her to go abroad to accompany her, right?" Silly interrupted suddenly.
"She told you?" Xiao Mu was surprised that Mu Qing would tell Si Li about this. If it weren't for the whole dormitory gossiping that day, she wouldn't have told them about it.
"That said, she said she didn't want to go. I want to live with my parents by their side. In Si Li's view, it makes no difference whether you know it or not. Now he can only fiddle with the grass at his feet here.
"Actually, the sisters in our dorm are all bad people, and she wants to break up. We expressed our support, and we all said that if it can't be done, let's break up......"
"I think ...... Forget it, you shouldn't help others make choices. ”
"Actually, everyone in our dormitory thinks you two are suitable......"
……
The conversation between the two suddenly made Si Li dumbfounded.
"Forget it, it's unattainable...... Unattainable......" Si Li shook off the grass in his hand fiercely, looked up at the sky and said angrily.
Xiao Mu listened to such uncompetitive words, and did not make too much persuasion. She just looked at him and smiled slowly. She laughed at him for being stupid and at him for being cowardly. Seeing Xiao Mu looking at him like this, Si Li couldn't help but blush more and more, and the head that he thought was full of wisdom lowered humbly.
The two fell silent again, staring at the starry sky without saying a word under the lawn.
"You...... What are you looking for? After almost 10 minutes, perhaps Si Li felt uncomfortable with the awkward atmosphere at the moment, and took the initiative to ask Xiao Mu.
"Me? I don't know. is not as good-looking as Mu Qing, nor is she as good-looking. Nothing. Haha, isn't there such a popular saying in society now? Find a good guy and get married. Xiao Mu seemed to expect Si Li to ask this question, so she didn't think too much and answered.
"You mean that people who like Mu Qing are not good people?" Si Li found the flaw in Xiao Mu's words and made a serious joke.
"What I mean is that I can't pick between fat and thin, tall and short, rich and poor. What about you? Si Li's serious appearance made Xiao Mu scared, as if he would really misinterpret his words and convey them to the dormitory boss. So, she quickly explained.
"So? I see. Even an ugly and poor man like me should be. Silly smiled.
"Can you be serious?" Xiao Mu seemed a little angry at his joke.
"I guess I'll have to go back to my parents. My parents are just one of my sons, and the little girl in the family says every day that she wants to marry and go to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou to enjoy the upper class. I have to go back and take care of them. As for what you want to find, you'll go back with me. Seeing that Xiao Mu was about to get angry, Si Li hurriedly said what she really thought in her heart. However, he felt that something was missing, thought about it, and added: "Also, don't hit me." ”
Xiao Mu was amused by Si Li's words all of a sudden, and covered her mouth while laughing and mocking: "You have a very low status at home." ”
He scratched his head in embarrassment. Indeed, his status in the family is so low. Parents spoil the little sister and instruct him to do everything. Any conflict with Xiaomei, parents will only be angry with him. Because of her backers, Xiaomei often bullied her good brother into doubting life.
"Zhang Wei! I think you're a good match for him. I'm going to be old. He suddenly thought of this, and said it seriously again.
"What are you talking about?" Xiao Mu was frightened by Si Li's "nonsense". She was puzzled. "Where are we compatible? He is a rich boy lying on money, and I am a village girl from the countryside. Eight strokes can't be hit. Xiao Mu, who was led astray, actually used such a wonderful description of the village aunt to self-inflict.
"He just wants an empathetic girl to raise and protect. When you're with him, he wakes up laughing. One time he was sleeping and talking in his sleep, and he mentioned your name. Si Li continued to bewitch Xiao Mu.
"How is that possible? Playboy, how can there be a time for single-mindedness. I guess when he read my name, there were already more than 100 girls' names in front of him. Xiao Mu was very sure that the person in front of him was joking. Zhang Wei looks like a wolf looking for meat for the single girls in the class.
During the exchange between the two, Si Li found out that Mu Qing had understood what he meant. He also knew clearly that he was in love with her. But he was afraid, and he didn't want to be a wicked person. Perhaps, Mu Qing and that man are the most suitable. He can't afford to give anything. Although the family conditions are not bad, from the known information, it can be seen that the man and Mu Qing are both wealthy families, and the comparison is simply the difference between fireflies and bright moon. Moreover, Mu Qing was so strong, he also began to be timid. He longed to find someone who could do the logistics for him and let him charge ahead without worry. As the saying goes, you are responsible for being beautiful like a flower, and I am responsible for fighting the world. Although it is selfish, this is also the life he yearns for.
Before you know it, it's late at night. The dormitory was curfew at 11 p.m., and it's 10:20 a.m. Si Li began to escort Xiao Mu home. The little girl next to her has been playing with her mobile phone. Her temperament and temperament are very similar to her sister, and even the phone case is just as cute. He wanted to touch this little girl's head as much as he touched his own little sister. At this moment, he misses his little sister thousands of miles away. Although I am usually at home, it is full of chickens and dogs, but the excitement is so simple, happy and warm.
"Look!" Suddenly, Xiao Mu reminded Si Li. Silly looked in the direction of her finger. In front of the entrance of the girls' dormitory, a green Aston Martin was parked, surrounded by many people watching the car. At the gate, Mu Qing, who was dressed in a gray long dress, was carrying a small schoolbag, and in front of her stood the stranger who was familiar with Si Li. The man kept saying something, still gesturing with his hands and still looking a little angry. But Mu Qing didn't pay attention to this man and let his mouth froth. It was cold in the middle of the night, and Mu Qing, who was wearing a skirt, seemed to be a little cold, with her hands clasped around her chest, but the man didn't notice it. Si Li grabbed Xiao Mu, who wanted to continue walking, and motioned for her to give her a little more time to know the final outcome of the matter.
"Let's stop here. Come over and help me do something later. The first is to see if we can find a way to bring her back to the dormitory......" Sili pleaded with Xiao Mu.
"I may not be able to do this, looking at the way they look, there must be a contradiction. And what about the second? Xiao Mu interrupted Si Li.
"Go to the dorm and get her a piece of clothing." Si Li was a little lacking in confidence when she said this.
"Gotcha!" After hearing this, Xiao Mu immediately ran away happily, leaving only the dim street lamp to silently watch the pair of men and women Si Li. It's cold, and my heart seems to be a little colder.
Without waiting for Xiao Mu to take out his clothes, the man drove away in the car. And Mu Qing also walked into the door under Si Li's prying eyes.
It seems that the wind is rising. On the way back, when the strength of the wine subsided, he began to feel the cold of Wuhan after winter.
