24. Can I stay at your house for a few days?

Zhou Cheng looked at Jiang Qiao's relaxed smile and was deeply skeptical.

How can an ordinary student who is amiable and powerless on weekdays fight with those who have mastered the resources?

Until he left the subway station, before parting at the fork in the road, he was still expressing concern.

But Jiang Qiao still smiled, as if the person who said he wanted to give him a good look was a five-year-old child.

After separating from Zhou Cheng, he continued to walk to the mouth of the alley alone.

I'm in a hurry, and an electric arc makes you unable to eat and walk around......

The magic array on his wrist shimmered, as if the elemental elves were approving his thoughts.

Just as the road was passing Ruoxi's house, Jiang Qiao took a look and looked inside through the courtyard gate.

The door of her house was closed, and the windows were covered by curtains, so that no light could come out of the house.

Didn't come back? Or are you already asleep?

Jiang Qiao took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Cheng Ruoxi with a button mobile phone.

Because smartphones are strictly forbidden at school, when he goes to school, he usually keeps smart phones at home.

At this time, a "meow" sound came from the yard.

Jiang Qiao looked up, and a pair of bright eyes flew from the roof to the courtyard wall.

He carefully identified it, only to find that this was Cheng Xiaohei, and its charcoal-like body completely blended into the night.

Jiang Qiao had the intention of teasing the cat, so he asked, "Xiao Hei, is your master back?" ”

He didn't expect the cat to answer anything.

"Meow? Meow~"

But who would have thought that Cheng Xiaohei shook his head and called twice at the same time, as if to say: Cheng Ruoxi has not come back yet.

Hey!

Jiang Qiao was shocked now, it's only been a few days that he can understand people's words, isn't this cat really going to become a sperm?

"Okay, Xiao Hei, you take care of the house, wait for Sister Xi to come back, I'll go first."

"Meow!"

Jiang Qiao turned around and walked into the night, leaving only Xiao Hei's ignorant cry echoing in the alley.

......

The alley is not long, and occasionally I will meet the uncles and aunts who come back from the square dance, Jiang Qiao greets them one by one, and when he meets a dog who comes out to pee, Jiang Qiao will also take out a few ham sausages from his schoolbag to greet them.

He has lived here for more than ten years, and he has loved everything here for more than ten years.

Turn the corner and walk a dozen steps to the gate of your yard.

Jiang Qiao looked at his home from a distance, and suddenly had a little doubt.

Under the street lamp, how can I seem to have a person sitting in front of my house?

Could it be that the guy named Zhu Guanhua came to my house?

Jiang Qiao was vigilant, pulled his sleeve to cover the magic array on his wrist, and then slowly approached home.

Getting closer, Jiang Qiao saw her appearance clearly, and his tense heart relaxed.

Cheng Ruoxi sat on the steps, curled up, arms wrapped around her knees, buried her face, the evening breeze blowing the school uniform spread out on her thighs, maybe it was a little cold in the autumn night.

Surrounded by a silent night, the night is dotted with lights.

"Sister Xi." Jiang Qiao called her.

Cheng Ruoxi didn't react, maybe he was asleep.

"Sister Xi?" Jiang Qiao patted the girl on the shoulder.

It seems that it is really a little cold, Cheng Ruoxi shook his shoulders, raised his head, and blinked his confused eyes.

"Ah, Jiang Qiao, are you back?"

"Sister Xi," Jiang Qiao bent down and smiled, "Why are you asleep here?"

"Oh, I'm sleepy just waiting." Cheng Ruoxi doesn't seem to be very sober yet.

She tried to stand up, but her legs seemed to be numb from the pillow and she couldn't move.

"Laugh what a laugh!" Cheng Ruoxi's face flushed, and in the end, Jiang Qiao reached out and pulled her up.

……

"Sister Xi, do you want to eat noodles? I'm going to cook some noodles to eat. Ebashi poked his head out of the kitchen.

In the room, Cheng Ruoxi sat on the sofa and took out a notebook to review his homework.

"Don't eat, it's not healthy to eat so late." Cheng Ruoxi raised his wrist and looked at his watch, the time was already half past nine.

"Eat some, I'm almost ready, for two." Jiang Qiao still refused to give up tempting her.

"That'...... Alright then, just half a bowl. Cheng Ruoxi hesitated for a moment and said.

β€œyes sir! Hey, hey, I'll add a poached egg to you. Jiang Qiao retracted his head back to the kitchen, turned on the fire, boiled water, boiled eggs and noodles, and did it in one go.

Cheng Ruoxi heard the jingling sound and realized that he had been fooled. Didn't you say it was cooked? So this is just the beginning?

Damn the river bridge!

Cheng Ruoxi's eyebrows were crooked, the corners of his mouth were smiling, and he was talking about Jiang Qiao, a big fool, but his heart was warmer than anyone else.

But...... Her eyebrows drooped again at the thought of it.

……

About ten minutes later, Jiang Qiao entered the living room with two large bowls of noodles and placed them on the coffee table, each bowl with a poached egg in it.

He pushed one of the bowls in front of Cheng Ruoxi, and the bowl was full.

"Ah, Jiangqiao! Didn't you say that it was only half a bowl? Cheng Ruoxi looked at the bowl bigger than his face, crying and laughing.

"It's okay, I'll help you eat if you can't finish eating." Jiang Qiao took a sip and took the lead.

"Who's going to give it to you?" Cheng Ruoxi blushed slightly, and also took small bites.

I have to say that the boiled instant noodles taste really good, add a few slices of small greens, a few slices of luncheon meat, and then a poached egg, it is a perfect supper.

In the late autumn evening, the cold wind was blowing outside, but the house was bright and warm.

Jiang Qiao feels that such a warm moment is the only motivation for him to live.

Jiang Qiao divided five by two, and finished a large bowl of noodles in less than ten minutes, while Cheng Ruoxi was still slow.

"That's right, Sister Xi." Jiang Qiao took his schoolbag and took out the set of chemistry textbooks from it.

"Well, return your books."

Cheng Ruoxi nodded: "You don't say that I forgot it, how about it, what if you didn't take my book?" ”

"How dare I break Sister Xi's book? If it breaks, I'll give you mine. ”

Cheng Ruoxi rolled her eyes: "Go aside, who wants your book." ”

......

After more than half an hour, Cheng Ruoxi finally finished the bowl of noodles.

"Sister Xi, if we can't eat it, don't eat it, I'll help you solve it." On the way, Jiang Qiao said.

Who knows, when Cheng Ruoxi heard this, he ate even harder, and he didn't even let go of a drop of soup.

"Hiccup~" Cheng Ruoxi couldn't help but burp.

Burst...... Jiang Qiao laughed out loud when he heard it.

"Jiangqiao!" Cheng Ruoxi's little face flew with two red clouds, and then he picked up the pillow and threw it at Jiang Qiao, "You are dead!" ”

"I was wrong, Sister Xi......"

"Don't run, you beat me! How can you bully people like this? ”

"I'm bullying you, I'll make you noodles to eat."

"You're making a fool of me!"

"No one else saw it."

"You saw it."

"I won't dislike you."

Cheng Ruoxi put down the hand that raised the pillow, and she was speechless for a while.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

Jiang Qiao realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, and hurriedly added: "You are my sister, of course I won't dislike you." ”

Cheng Ruoxi nodded lightly and glanced at the clock hanging on the wall.

It's half past ten.

It's late at night, and she's going home too.

Jiang Qiao said: "Sister Xi, I'll send you home." ”

Cheng Ruoxi hesitated, as if he had finally made up his mind.

She raised her head, her eyes a little evasive:

"Jiangqiao, I'm ...... today. Can you stay at your house for a few days? ”
