16 Secrets
At night, there is a peculiar sense of tranquility on campus, and there are couples downstairs in the dormitory, as if they are reluctant to part for a moment.
The girl stepped on her feet and kissed the boy, and then turned around and entered the dormitory step by step, and the boy stood in place, making sure that the girl was gone, and then turned around, wiping his mouth as he walked.
Seeing Chi Wu, the boy's footsteps paused.
Chi Wu's eyes didn't stop at him, as if she hadn't seen what had just happened, and after handing the ice cream to Xun Yao, she went to take a bath.
During the National Day Week, Auntie's family traveled abroad, and her scope of activities was changed to a convenience store, library, and dormitory.
The library space is a little more abundant during the holidays, Chi Wu is wearing headphones to do the test paper, and someone is standing still opposite him just after listening.
"Hello, is there anyone here?"
Chi Wu raised his head, Ji Chengran smiled gently, and was also a little surprised, "What a coincidence." ”
Chi Wu smiled and answered his previous question, "No one." ”
"Thank you."
Ji Chengran sat down opposite, he also brought a computer bag, but he didn't do the test paper like her. Chi Wu retracted his gaze and revisited his English listening to check if there were any mistakes.
She has printed many exam papers, which are halfway done these days.
After finishing the two volumes, her eyes were a little tired, and she put down her pen to rest. Ji Chengran seemed to be busy, closed the notebook, and picked up the water on his side.
"Don't you want to go home on vacation?" He stirs up the topic.
"Didn't get a ticket." Chi Wu told the truth.
"The holiday is like this, the tourist season, there are many people everywhere." Ji Chengran looked at her, "Are you doing the previous test papers?" ”
"I'm a little bad at English."
Ji Chengran smiled and said, "Can I take a look?" ”
"Of course." Chi Wu handed the roll over.
The words on the test paper are beautiful, revealing invisible rules and quietness, just like herself. Ji Chengran quickly finished reading the two papers, turned the test paper in a different direction, and pushed it in front of her, "This question, you should choose B, Invented, the audio pronunciation of these two words is accelerated, it will make people feel that it is one word, you can slow down 0.75 and listen to it." ”
The late fog slowed down by 0.75, and sure enough, it was two words.
"During the exam, I was tested in this area with oral pronunciation and continuous reading, and I needed to automatically slow down in my mind."
Ji Chengran's words were twice as effective as burying her head in the test paper for half a month, and according to what he said, Chi Wu found several mistakes on the test paper.
At noon, Chi Wu packed up his things, "Senior, I'll treat you to a meal, thank you for your advice." ”
She is not used to owing favors to others, not to mention that Ji Chengran really helped her a lot.
Ji Chengran wanted to say "You're welcome" when the words came to his lips, but he had to thank Chi Wu for his gaze, and swallowed the words back.
They went to the second cafeteria, in order to express their gratitude to Chi Wu and Ji Chengran, they went to the second floor, found a window position to put down the computer, and were about to go to eat.
Xie Huaijing had a bottle of water in front of him, a lighter was playing with in his hand like a toy, his narrow eyes were slightly pressed, and there was an idle smile on the corner of his lips.
"I'll wash my hands first." Ji Chengran said.
"Okay."
With a "snap", Chi Wu followed the sound and saw that the lighter in his hand was pressed on the table.
Looking at each other, his eyes were full of emotion, indifferent and direct, and banter.
Chi Wu's heart was stabbed, and he hurriedly looked away, took a plate from the disinfection cabinet and went to eat.
Their position was diagonally opposite Xie Huaijing, Chi Wu lowered her head to eat, and the mobile phone next to her rang, and she didn't care.
She ate less, put down her chopsticks and turned on the kettle, and was about to drink when she saw Xie Huaijing get up, walking slowly with his hands in his pockets, and his eyebrows and eyes were a little angry.
Chi Wu thought he was just passing by, but Xie Huaijing stopped at their side.
Ji Chengran knew Xie Huaijing and said gently, "Is there something wrong?" ”
Xie Huaijing's eyes swelled with a little coldness when he heard this, he supported the table with one hand, his peach blossom eyes rose, and his thin lips seemed to be smiling.
Chi Wu was a little uncomfortable by him, and when he was about to open his eyes, Xie Huaijing retracted his gaze, and his voice was faint, "It's nothing, let's see if the food in the second canteen is very suitable for treats." ”
Ji Chengran didn't know why, but Xie Huaijing had already left.
Chi Wu's hand holding the kettle was slightly strained, and his eyes seemed to be burned by the temperature and became sour.
Coming out of the cafeteria, Chi Wu went straight back to the dormitory, and then turned on his mobile phone to watch.
[Xiao Chi, don't come to the store in the afternoon, let's go back to the countryside to visit relatives, and you also rest for half a day. 】
It was sent by Sister Zhao.
Chi Wu Hui: [Okay. 】
After replying to Sister Zhao's message, she received Xun Yao again asking how she was at school.
[It's good.] 】
Xun Yao complained to her: [I'm so tired when I go home, I smile every day in the face of relatives I don't know at all, and pretend to remember each other. 】
[It's really outrageous, I said I haven't seen each other for 20 years, and I want to deliberately say that I definitely don't know each other, so what? ] I wasn't born 20 years ago, okay, where did I meet? The most outrageous thing is that they also let me tutor their children for free, hehe, I never dreamed of it being so beautiful. 】
[Human Confusion Behavior Reward: Why are some relatives so thick-skinned. 】
Chi Wu was amused by her: [Then why don't you go back to school to avoid the limelight? ] 】
Xun Yao: [I was planning to do this, but my parents directly passed my plan. 】
Xun Yao: [Holidays are really more tiring than going to school. 】
Chi Wu put the computer back on the table and comforted her: [There are still seven days, and it will be over if you insist on it. 】
[Come back and invite you to drink milk tea, the canteen has recently opened a little new. 】
Xun Yao: [Okay!! 】
After chatting with Xun Yao, Chi Wu took a nap and did a big cleaning after getting up.
In the next few days, Chi Wu spent almost all of his time in the library and convenience store, and after mastering the English listening method, the speed of doing the test paper was significantly faster, and the accuracy rate was also higher, and he finished writing the last test paper, rubbed his sore neck, and packed up his things and went out.
Before the holiday, the teacher assigned homework, and the books she needed were borrowed, so she had to go to the bookstore in the city to buy them.
The bookstore closed at half-past eight, and she left at six to catch the bus.
It takes nearly forty minutes from the school to the bookstore, Chi Wu took the headphones to look out the window, the city under the sunset has a unique flavor, the car passed through several business districts, and soon the carriage was crowded with people, and the white-haired old lady staggered on the bus, and it was very difficult to pull the railing to the side.
Chi Wu got up and helped the old lady over, "You can sit here." ”
The old lady leaned over and sat down slowly, "Thank you, little girl." ”
Chi Wu grabbed the handrail above his head, "You're welcome." ”
The bookstore arrived, and Chi Wu squeezed out of the car.
The bookstore has two floors, and she bought three books that she might use professionally. It was already dark when he came out of the bookstore, so Chi Wu put the book in his backpack and stood at the intersection waiting for the traffic light.
The bus back was on the other side, Chi Wu had just walked to the bus stop, and the door of the restaurant on the side was pushed open from the inside, and Xie Huaijing came out of it.
He wore a white shirt with a neckline turned upside down, cuffs tucked up to his arms, hems tucked into the waistband of his trousers, and his hair combed and styled.
It doesn't match his usual attire, like a social elite who is strategizing.
The platform was in front of the restaurant, and the two of them were only a few steps away, and Chi Wu could clearly smell the strong smell of alcohol on him.
The door behind him opened again, the housekeeper came out, and when he saw her, the housekeeper's eyes paused, but he quickly returned to normal, and passed a message to Xie Huaijing, "Young master, the old lady asked you to go back, if you choose to leave, you will bear the consequences." ”
The housekeeper paused, and his tone softened, "Tonight's guest, the old lady attaches great importance to it, young master, you are still ......"
Xie Huaijing's eyebrows couldn't suppress the pressure of anger, he sneered and walked away.
The butler didn't chase anymore, stood still and watched his distant figure, turned around and turned back to the hotel. When the glass door opened, Chi Wu heard a voice inside, including a sentence "My son is not very sensible, I will ask him to come to the door to apologize when I turn around." ”
The bus came slowly, Chi Wu took out her mobile phone and lined up to scan the code, and when it was her turn, the action of scanning the code froze for a moment.
"Are you leaving?" The people in the back are urging.
Chi Wu pursed his lips, thinking of the picture of the last time he was taken back to Xie's house at the police station, and the tiredness in his eyes the next day.
"I'm sorry."
Chi Wu got out of the car and trotted in the direction where Xie Huaijing left, he walked very fast, and Chi Wu chased him for two streets before finally catching up with him.
Xie Huaijing bought the cigarettes and came out, opened the packaging on the cigarette box, and didn't tear it open for the first time, he suddenly lost his patience, crumpled the cigarette box into a ball and threw it into the trash. As if sensing her gaze, his eyelids lifted slightly, and his dark eyes went deep into the pool, and there was a cold silence.
It seems to suddenly lose its vitality and wait numbly for whose judgment.
The tip of Chi Wu's heart seemed to have been poked by a needle, and a fine numb pain spread all over his heart along the tip of the needle.
She approached and stood still before him.
"Something?" His voice was cold, revealing a little impatience.
Chi Wu didn't answer him, took the cigarette case in his hand, unfolded it, then tore it along the corner and handed it back to him.
Xie Huaijing looked at her for a few seconds, his thin lips hooked lightly, and he laughed, "Hurriedly came over just to open a cigarette case for me?" ”
Chi Wu met his gaze and didn't answer his words, "Are you going back to school?" ”
"No return."
Chi Wu nodded, "Then take a taxi here?" ”
Xie Huaijing knocked out a cigarette and bit it in his mouth, lowered his head and lit it, his eyebrows and eyes became more and more impatient against the firelight. He took a drag on his cigarette, apparently distracted, "It's none of your business." ”
With that, he turned and left.
Chi Wu walked to follow, Xie Huaijing walked very fast, she had to trot to keep up, and after walking a few streets, Xie Huaijing suddenly stopped and turned back.
His eyes pressed down, gathering irritation, "When are you going to follow me?" ”
"Xie Huaijing, you're drunk."
Xie Huaijing looked cold, "So what? ”
Chi Wu looked at him, "I'll help you get a taxi and take you home." ”
She wore a sky blue dress today, and a layer of sweat appeared on her forehead, because she was slightly panting because of her trot, and her deer eyes were bright, reflecting his figure.
The night wind was hot and dry, and Xie Huaijing seemed to hear some joke, "I haven't been sent home by a woman yet." He turned around and walked up to her, the mockery in his eyes undisguised, "Chi Wu, are you hinting or explicit to me?" ”
Chi Wu's heart trembled, and before he could speak, Xie Huaijing leaned over, the distance between the two suddenly narrowed, the smell of tobacco and wine was mixed, and it was magically not unpleasant but with a faint coldness.
Xie Huaijing took another step forward, his eyes went down from her eyebrows, the small bridge of the nose, red lips, a fair and slender neck, a beautiful collarbone, and a bow on the heart.
Chi Wu was uncomfortable with his straightforward and aggressive gaze, and the whole person was more like entering his own eye steamer on the already hot day, the air seemed to have become thinner, and the hand hanging by his side tugged at the hem of his skirt.
Taking her expression into his eyes, Xie Huaijing laughed, "You are so timid, what can you learn from others." ”
The wind blew the hem of her skirt, Chi Wu raised her head sharply when she heard the words, Xie Huaijing had already stood up straight, and returned to her usual casual appearance.
He dusted off his cigarette ash and said, "Take a taxi back to school by yourself and don't follow me again." ”
Chi Wu still followed, this time walking faster than the last time, almost side by side with him.
"I'm not learning from you anymore, and I don't explicitly hint at anything from you, I'm just worried about you."
The cigarette ash was blown back by the wind, Xie Huaijing felt like he was choking, his smoking hand paused slightly, and his footsteps stopped.
Chi Wu stopped, she looked into his eyes, and repeated word by word, "Xie Huaijing, I'm just worried about you." ”
