Qu's mother honestly stayed in the hospital for a week, during which Qu Ji Sweet Fruit Shop was closed.

Xia Chengxi and Jiang Jingcheng's mother took turns to stew soup and bring food to Qu's mother who was hospitalized. Qu Shao went to school during the day, and rushed home non-stop after school, to deliver fruits to the customers of several fruit shops, and then rushed to the hospital to visit Qu's mother.

Xia Chengxi sometimes went with her, visited Qu Shao's mother, and then came back with her mother, who delivered food.

On this day, Qu Shaoyao and Xia Chengxi had just walked to the door of the ward, and were about to push the door in, but they heard Qu Ma's low voice coming from inside.

"Sister Qiong, you promise me that you must not let Sha Sha know ......"

Qu Shao's hand rested on the doorknob and stopped.

She subconsciously stayed there until Xia Chengxi's mother's sigh came from inside.

"Ah Xiu, I don't have to tell the child, but you must also promise me to think about this matter carefully. The doctor said that your lumbar spine has compressed the nerves, and it is best to do surgery as soon as possible, do not delay, otherwise there will be a risk of paralysis......"

The thermos cup in Qu Shao's hand slipped and was quickly caught by Xia Chengxi.

She covered Qu Shao's mouth and motioned for her to continue listening, don't alarm inside. Qu shook her head mechanically, and her heart felt like some huge monster was clamoring to surface, which made her tremble in shock.

Qu's mother didn't reply for a long time, and the room was terrifyingly quiet. Just when they thought it would be over, Qu Ma's voice came low again.

It was a mournful tone that he had never heard before, full of helplessness.

"Sister Joan, don't I understand? Even if the doctor didn't say anything, I knew that this old wound on my back was already very serious...... But if I go for surgery now, what will happen to the fruit shop? What about shaking? ”

"You don't have to worry about money......"

"It's not all about money."

Qu's mother smiled helplessly: "If I have this lumbar spine surgery, I will have to lie in bed for at least half a year, shake this child's character, you know, she has been sensible since she was a child, she will definitely do everything possible to maintain the business operation of the fruit store, and don't let me worry too much." At that time, I'm afraid that all my studies will be wasted......"

In the ward, Qu's mother's voice became choked.

"Me...... Alas, not a good mother. There is no way to give your child a better living condition like you. Sometimes I am also helpless, why do I try my best to work hard, but I can only struggle with food and clothing? I always felt sorry for Shaking, if she hadn't been reincarnated with me, she wouldn't have had to suffer so much with me. She can also go to a cram school like any other child, hire a tutor or something...... But I can't do anything for her, it's about to be the third year of high school, I'm really afraid that the child will be delayed, if she really can't be admitted to college, she can only be like me in the future, and suffer the hardships of life for the rest of her life......"

……

The sobbing sound became lower and lower, and occasionally there were a few gentle voices of Xia Ma's persuasion.

Outside the ward, Xia Chengxi gently held Qu Shao's hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Qu shook and bit his lip to prevent himself from making a sound.

She never knew that the old lady who had always been fierce and vicious had so many delicate and soft things hidden in her heart...... No wonder she would rather close the store for half a day, but also invite Pei Yue to come to the house for dinner, wanting him to help her make up for her classes by the way.

Qu shook his mind that he willfully rejected Qu's mother's proposal at the dinner table, and remembered the words that Xia Chengxi had said to her again and again......

Her heart swelled with sourness again and again, and she suddenly realized that she had never been sensible, as if she was the only one who was right......

*

The learning atmosphere of the second year of high school is better than the tension of the day, and as the first monthly exam approaches, this tense atmosphere seems to be full, and everyone is out of breath.

In the self-study class, a set of math papers that had just been handed out became the theme of the class. The classroom was quiet, and almost everyone was burying their heads in the middle of solving the problem, except for Xia Chengxi and Qu Shaosha.

One is in a daze, the other won't do it.

Xia Chengxi has been very inexplicably tired of studying recently, and this aversion to school has reached its peak directly after her mother arranged for her to take the IELTS and TOEFL exams.

She began to be tired of coping, and between the exams and the unfinished papers, she cleverly found a lazy balance, that is, as long as she knew the questions, she didn't want to do them anymore at a glance.

Sometimes, she doesn't even look at it.

And Qu Shaosha is racking her brains to solve the problem seriously, but her peanut-sized knowledge reserve really can't understand these difficult questions like demons and monsters.

Her eyes were glazed when she saw it, and she still didn't understand it.

Qu shook and sighed, thinking about her "plan" for the thousandth and first time in her heart.

She quietly flipped out her phone and looked at it, and someone's chat window was still motionless and sunk at the bottom.

"Haven't got back to you yet?" Xia Chengxi leaned over and whispered.

Qu shook his head and put away his phone helplessly.

Stinky Xueba, don't be so careful, right?

"Who is to blame?? You yourself refused so righteously that day, and now you look back and want to regret it, I am a number bully, and I don't bother to deal with you......" Xia Chengxi hit the nail on the head.

Qu shook a bitter face, and his heart was as good as that? Sending a message is also allowed to be withdrawn...... Can't you let her regret a little move?

"Or ...... I went to his house again under the pretext of going to see the heavy snow, and then mentioned it to him in person? ”

Xia Chengxi snorted coldly and said, "Do you think that the old lady is not here, can you still enter the door of the Shuba family so easily?" ”

Qu Sha Sha: "......"

She thought about it for a while, as if what Xia Chengxi said was right, every time Pei Yue used to let her in for the sake of the old lady......

"That'...... Then I've been taking care of the snow for him for so long......"

"Isn't that someone giving you a make-up lesson, and you agreed to someone's conditions?"

"What then? Do I still have a chance......"

"What did you do earlier?"

“……”

The more Qu Shaoyan thought about it, the more sad he became, regretting that he hadn't listened to Xia Chengxi's words earlier, and had wasted so many good opportunities.

Xia Chengxi thought for a while and asked, "Do you really want to tutor with Shuba?" ”

"Well, I've figured it out."

"Aren't you afraid of knocking on your brain?"

"I'm afraid......"

Qu Shao said honestly: "...... But I'm more afraid that I'll regret it in the future. ”

Outside Qu's mother's hospital room that day, Qu shook her teeth and shed tears for a long time, her heart experienced a violent growth collision, and something muddy was finally torn apart, revealing its original appearance.

“…… But I'm more afraid that I'll regret it in the future", this sentence contains too many meanings.

Qu Shaosha finally began to look directly at herself, or rather, she finally raised her eyes and looked at the chaotic unknown future.

Xia Chengxi nodded with satisfaction, and then showed a wicked smile.

"Then you're going to block the number of tyrants......"

"Huh? Where to block? ”

"...... on the way to and from school"
