Chapter 5: Don't Ignore Me
Xie Qi quickened his pace and walked to the side of the bed and gently touched her head with his hand: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." β
The thunder outside was getting louder and louder, Gu Tao buried her head in the quilt, and Xie Qi sat on the edge of the bed and comforted her softly, gently patting her back with his hand.
Until the morning, Xie Qi almost didn't close his eyes, he was afraid that the little girl would cry if she woke up and didn't see her.
The corners of her mouth curled slightly, she might be dreaming of her, Xie Qi couldn't bear to wake her up.
"Momo, get up." He shouted patiently.
"Don't~" Her voice was soft, even a little coquettish, and this voice went directly into Xie Qi's heart.
If Lin Yu saw this, he would definitely say that he had a double standard.
Xie Qi took her hand and pulled her up.
The girl was in a daze, and she didn't know that she was taken away.
When Xie Qi carried her to the stool and fed her porridge, she barely came to her senses.
"Xie Qi." She blinked her clear, transparent and beautiful eyes.
He seemed to understand what she meant and explained: "I was scolded by your brother yesterday. β
"I'm so pathetic." He said word by word, and finally finished the sentence in a long voice.
The girl blinked, looking loveless.
β¦
Gu Tao jumped and walked, as slow as a turtle, Xie Qi next to him couldn't stand it anymore, and directly picked up the girl.
"Stinky Xie Qi, put me down quickly, or I'll be angry!"
She lowered her head and said in a low voice, leaning into the girl's ear and saying, "Be good, stay honestly, and I'll put you down when I get to school." β
When he arrived at the school gate, Gu Tao anxiously pulled his clothes, "You hurry up and put me down." β
"I don't!"
"I just like to hold you like that."
Gu Tao was stunned for a moment, reacted, kicked his legs, and had to come down.
Xie Qi couldn't resist her, and carefully put her down.
When I entered the class, the noisy classroom of the original version was instantly quiet.
Xie Qi carefully supported her, and Gu Tao jumped into his seat.
"Don't go out if you're fine, if you have anything, feel free to send me WeChat, you know?"
"Okay."
Xie Qi habitually rubbed her head.
There was no teacher in the classroom, and the crowd was emotional, whispering, and in a moment's uproar.
"Peaches!" Xu Ruo and Shen Chuan revealed thick gossip at the same time.
Gu Tao already knew that they would show this kind of expression when they came to school.
"Are you embarrassed to ask? You didn't tell me when you left yesterday, I'm so weak and helpless by myself. β
"I accidentally twisted my foot." Gu Tao pointed to his bloated ankle.
"Huh?"
Xu Ruodi lowered his head and looked at it, "It's so serious, why don't you go to the hospital?" β
"Yesterday he took me home and drugged me." She said lightly.
"So you stayed at his house yesterday?" Xu Ruo shouted in a loud voice.
"Hmm."
Xu Ruo opened his mouth very exaggeratedly.
"Lonely men and widows in the same room......"
They were chatting happily, Gu Nan walked in with a straight face, and instantly Gu Tao put away his smile.
"How's your foot?"
The girl didn't dare to speak, just stared at him.
"Go to the hospital."
He helped Gu Tao up, and the two took a taxi all the way to the hospital.
The girl leaned on Gu Nan and didn't dare to say a word.
"Brother."
He gently took Gu Nan's hand and shook it.
He sighed: "Fortunately, my parents were not at home yesterday, otherwise, see how you end!" β
"I know it's wrong."
"You're also bold, you should go home with a strange man and stay for the night, don't you know to call me?" He sighed deeply.
Gu Tao, who had been reprimanded, didn't dare to say a word.
The doctor fiddled with her feet, and then said: "I didn't hurt my bones, I just bothered my tendons, soaked my feet in medicinal water every day, and rested for a few days to heal." β
Gu Tao puffed out his cheeks and slowly moved his injured little feet.
Back to school.
Gu Tao lay on the table and didn't want to say a word.
She felt very uncomfortable.
Xie Qi came over every once in a while this day and bought her a lot of delicious food.
Until the end of school, Xie Qi waited at the door of her class.
He leaned against the wall, fiddling with his phone in his hand.
"Why are you here?"
Hearing the voice, he raised his head, shrugged his shoulders, and said indifferently, "Why can't I be here?" β
Gu Tao heard the sound outside, stretched out his head to take a look, and saw the corners of Xie Qi's mouth unconsciously raised slightly.
"Tut-tut, a woman who is carried away by love." Xu Ruo quipped on the side.
The two of them stared at each other at the doorway.
"You stay away from Gu Tao in the future!"
"Why?" He asked defiantly.
"I find that she likes me a lot now, and she seems to be a little inseparable from me."
Xie Qi deliberately said such things to provoke him.
Gu Nan clasped his hands tightly.
"Don't try to beat her up." He said through gritted teeth.
Xie Qi snorted lightly, "Who do you think you are, she has to listen to you!" He spoke in a weird way.
"I'm his brother, you're nothing."
He couldn't help but sigh, "Then she is really unlucky to have a brother like you." β
He was just about to say something, but Lin Yu trotted over all the way and said something in his ear.
He said in a languid and long tone: "We have a long time coming." β
Gu Tao turned his head and saw Xie Qi walking straight away.
How did he go, she still had a little disappointment in her heart.
Xu Ruoyi, who was next to him, saw Lin Yu's eyes lit up: "It's Lin Yu, no, why did he leave?" β
When the school bell rang, Gu Nan also pushed the door and walked in.
"Let's go!"
He held Gu Tao's hand, but she ruthlessly shook it off: "No, I can go by myself." β
Gu Nan was a little stunned, and his tone became heavy: "I really don't know what is going on in your head, you like him so much?" β
"I didn't!" She firmly denied it.
He sighed slightly, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart: "Go home first." β
Gu Tao also felt that he was a little excessive, and they didn't talk all the way.
Back at home, she lay on the bed, tears unconsciously flowing.
What should she do, she was in a dilemma.
β
Back to school.
Gu Tao lay on the table and didn't want to say a word.
She felt very uncomfortable.
Xie Qi came over every once in a while this day and bought her a lot of delicious food.
Until the end of school, Xie Qi waited at the door of her class.

"I didn't!" She firmly denied it.
He sighed slightly, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart: "Go home first." β
Gu Tao also felt that he was a little excessive, and they didn't talk all the way.
Back at home, she was lying on the bed, her eyes blank.
The next day, Gu Tao looked tired and lay on the table listlessly.
"What if you say Xie Qi?"
"He's pretty good, especially for you."
"But my brother doesn't seem to like him very much, and won't let me get too close to him."
"Do you like him?"
"I don't like him."
"You answered quite simply, only you know whether you like it or not."
In the afternoon physical education class, Gu Tao's feet twisted and could only stay in the classroom, she was bored and drew circles on the table.
The door clicked open.
Xie Qi walked in with his long legs against the sky and sat in front of her.
"Bored? I'll come and talk to you. β
Xie Qi rubbed her head.
Gu Tao lowered her head, feeling very lost.
"Xie Qi."
She called his name softly.
"I'm here, what's wrong?"
"I want to ...... I think we should keep our distance. β
Xie Qi had already thought that she would say such a thing, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.
"Okay."
With that, he got up and left his seat.
Looking at his back, Gu Tao had mixed feelings in her heart, did she say something too much?
Since that day, Xie Qi has never come to look for her again.
After Gu Tao's feet rested for a few days, she was already able to walk normally, she turned her head slightly, looked out the window, and never saw the person again.
His figure lingered in the girl's mind, wanting to linger, but it was even stronger, his heart was beating unstoppably, and every movement and thought was the figure of a teenager, like a blooming flower, like a starry sky.
Yi An walked next to Gu Tao with a proud face, and knocked on her table with his hand: "Yo, what about Xie Qi?" β
"I haven't seen him come to you for so many days, maybe he forgot about you a long time ago."
"What are you doing here licking dogs?"
Gu Tao didn't pay attention to her, and after giving her a blank look, he lowered his head and memorized the English words.
After being ignored, Yi An did not return to his seat, but still made a lot of nonsense here.
"Is that enough?"
Her voice unconsciously raised a little, revealing some annoyance.
"Bitter gourd is always bitter, just like you, always a salted fish, can't turn over, I never scold people, because I have strong hands-on ability."
Gu Tao's face was not very good-looking, his face was serious, and the other people who ate melons were ready to watch the play.
"What? You still want to hit me? β
Yi An also said very arrogantly: "Come on, come on, you come and beat me!" β
Unexpectedly, she fell to the ground in the next second.
The two scuffled on the ground.
in the office.
The two of them stood by the wall with their clothes folded.
"What's the matter, why are you two still fighting?"
Li Yong never expected that it would be two girls fighting?
At this time, Xie Qi walked in from the door with a bunch of homework, and happened to see a little girl who hadn't seen it for many days.
Gu Tao turned white, and Yi An didn't speak.
Yi An bit back: "Teacher, Gu Tao, she beat me." β
Li Yong had a headache: "The teacher knows, so tell me why the two of you fought because of something?" β
"She told me to hit her!"
ββ¦β¦β
"I was kidding."
"I took it seriously."
She explained impeccably .
Xie Qi looked at the girl in front of him no longer had her original cute appearance, but was a little cool.
"Then you can't fight, if you get hurt, what should you do?"
"In this way, you all apologize to each other, and this matter is over, okay!"
"No way!" The two replied in unison.
"I don't think I was wrong to hit her, she didn't do."
Li Yong was speechless for an instant.
"Okay, you all go back, this matter is not a big deal, even if it is resolved."
Gu Tao put his hands in his pockets and walked out casually.
"Gu Tao, why are you ......?"
Before she could finish speaking, she interrupted.
"Stop horning, psycho!"
Yi An was scolded and couldn't believe what he had heard.
"What do you mean?"
Why do you care so much? When the manure truck passes by in front of your house, you have to take a spoon and taste the saltiness?
Gu Tao tugged at the corners of her lips: "What do I mean?" You don't understand Chinese? β
She was smiling, so well-behaved, without any aggression: "You like Xie Qi, see me walking so close to him, so, you are jealous, you are envious, do you see what I said right?" β
Yi An's face was obviously a little ugly.
After Gu Tao finished speaking, he turned his head domineeringly and left.
Back in the classroom, a group of people gathered around.
"Peach, you're back, where is Yi'an?"
"Where is she, how do I know?"
It seemed that Gu Tao was really angry, and his tone was very impulsive, and a group of them scattered all at once.
Gu Tao was angry, walked out, and came to the grove behind the school.
The dense bamboo forest sheltered the hot sun, and the breeze blew, and she walked into this secret base through the trail.
This secret base is surrounded by bamboo leaves on all sides, and there is a large thick seat inside.
Gu Tao sat on the stone, and aggrieved tears flowed from his eyes.
She didn't cry because of this, but because all the things that had accumulated for so many days couldn't stand it.
"Why is you crying here alone?"
Xie Qi squatted down, rubbed her little head, and hugged her into his arms.
"Tell me what's going on."
"Didn't you say you were going to keep your distance from me?"
Xie Qi was amused by her, and still had that lazy and casual tone: "Please, ancestor, you know clearly, it was you who told me first to keep our distance." β
Gu Tao beat his chest with his little hand, "You stay away from me." β
Xie Qi didn't listen, and kept holding her tightly in his arms.
"Child, if you are angry, sprinkle it on me."
"I don't want it."
She stood up at once and ran out.
Xie Qi looked at her back and didn't leave for a long time.
Back in the classroom, Gu Tao lay on the desk and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Xu Ruo looked at her and asked in a low voice, "Peach, Lin Yu said that he invited us to hang out together on the weekend, will you go?" β
"Don't go!"
She decisively refused.
"Huh? Wouldn't it be embarrassing for me to go alone? You're with me! β
DingβThe phone rang.
Xie Qi: [Your feet are good, you want to be my little follower, and when I go out to play on weekends, you also want to be with me.] γ
Xie Qi: [Unless you don't want the bracelet. γ
"Peach, you're the best, come with me." Xu Ruo blinked her big watery eyes and stared at her.
"Alright then!"
She reluctantly agreed.
