Next, Qi Xia spent half an hour taking care of the small space. Writing a brief and updating the skin, this feeling of careful management is very fulfilling, and she is immersed in it and enjoys it.

There was a laptop in the room, which was eliminated by Grandma Chen because the style was too old, and Qi Lanjing was worried that she would be able to use it, so she borrowed it.

Taking advantage of this time, Qi Xia turned on the computer and continued to write the story of "Birds and Fish", writing exactly 2,000 words at ten o'clock. She updated the two thousand words in the form of a log to the Q/Q trumpet, then simply cleaned up and went out to the Dongmian community.

When waiting for the bus at the entrance of Baita Lane, there happened to be two girls standing next to him, one of whom was instigating the other and took the initiative to add the q/q of a certain boy.

"Ah, I don't dare, what if he doesn't agree?"

"Whatever, add it first! Become a friend and watch the handsome guy's daily life, are you really not impressed? ”

"No, no, it's too embarrassing to be rejected by him."

……

Qi Xia thought in a daze, if he applied to add Chen Xifan's Q/Q friends, would he agree?

Intuition told her that the young man had his own ruler distance in his heart, and there was a high probability that he would not agree. Like that rainy night, he lent her an umbrella, just because of good upbringing, and nothing else.

At the end of the day, they don't know each other.

The girl next to her was still muttering, Qi Xia pursed her lips, pushed herself by others, and she also wanted to appear in Chen Xifan's friend list.

For Qi Xia on weekends, there are always endless chores.

When she arrived at the Dongmian Community, she pushed the door and entered the house, and saw a messy living room, toys and clothes lying on the ground, and pots and pans to be cleaned in the kitchen piled up into a hill.

If Qi Xia doesn't do these things, he has to do them in Qi Lanjing, who comes back in the afternoon.

Qi Xia didn't complain, cleaned up the living room and kitchen, sat on the small bench and memorized words, and not long after his uncle Cao Shuwei came back.

Cao Shuwei didn't know where he went, it seemed that he hadn't slept all night, he sat in the living room and swallowed the clouds, and the soot was all over the floor, so that Qi Xia cooked him a bowl of noodles.

Qi Xia did so, and after cooking the noodles, Cao Yu wanted to go out to play. Cao Shuwei was perfunctory and asked Qi Xia to take Cao Yu downstairs and not to disturb him to rest.

There is an open space outside the Dongmian community, with basketball hoops and many children's playground facilities.

Cao Yu played on the slide for a while, and saw that other children had lollipops to eat, and glanced at his mouth, "Cousin, I want to eat candy too." ”

Qi Xia touched her little brain melon and said with a smile: "Well, let's go buy it." ”

She took Cao Yu to buy lollipops in the supermarket, bought herself a bottle of Coke, and then the two sisters sat on the small bench at the door to bask in the sun.

There was an Internet café next to the supermarket, and not long after, a group of Internet addicted teenagers came out, Qi Xia saw it, and Cao Meng was also among them.

Cao Meng had a cigarette in his mouth and was laughing with a yellow-haired man shoulder to shoulder.

"That buddy's shoes just now are AJ Dior co-branded models, right, more than 20,000?"

"You listen to him blow, that product is a copycat at best, the genuine color is darker than his pair, I saw others wear it at school."

Huang Mao sighed twice: "Are the students in your school so rich?" What's the name, I want to know it. ”

"Chen Xifan, does the Financial Street Huanyu Investment Bank know? The son of the bank owner, who is a sophomore in our school, is very rich and generous, and I heard that he gave his friend's camera tens of thousands. ”

"Damn, you can't hug this kind of golden thigh?"

"I want to hug it, but unfortunately it's not in the same grade, and it's not in the same class."

……

At this moment, Qi Xia felt like he had eaten a mouthful of mud, and he was nauseous and unbearable.

She lowered her head and pretended not to see it, but Cao Meng still spotted her and Cao Yu. Cao Meng said goodbye to Huang Mao, then called Qi Xia a cousin, and squatted down to tease Cao Yu.

When he went home, Qi Xia carried Cao Yu, who was already asleep, and talked to Cao Meng without a match, and the topic somehow turned to Chen Xifan.

Cao Meng said: "Cousin, Chen Xifan of your class ......"

"We don't know each other."

Cao Meng glanced at her and wanted to say something more, but Qi Xia didn't give him a chance, passed him without saying a word, and went straight upstairs.

At the same time, Qi Xia heard a disdainful sneer from behind him.

Qi Xia pursed her lips and took a bigger step.

She could almost guess Cao Meng's thoughts, which was nothing more than taking advantage of her convenience in Class 5 to get closer to Chen Xifan.

Qi Xia didn't want to be anyone's springboard, and he didn't want Chen Xifan to be entangled by such a person. She didn't want her pure love when she was young to be crowned with something else.

*

At the beginning of April, the second year of high school ushered in the first monthly exam.

Before the monthly exam, Qi Xia almost suffered from anxiety, walking and memorizing and eating thinking about the wrong questions that he had not corrected, and even writing hard in the examination room in his dreams.

Qi Lanjing thought she was stunned when she was reading, and on the morning of the exam, she touched her head and said, "I don't have a fever either." ”

Only Qi Xia herself knew, she just didn't want the score to be too ugly.

Chen Xifan is the first in his grade, at least ...... At least she shouldn't count down, take a few more points, at least on the score leaderboard, their names will be closer.

That doesn't mean anything, though.

The two-day monthly exam passed quickly, and the teachers of the attached middle school were extremely efficient, and the second day after the exam, the scores of each subject were released one after another. At noon, Qi Xia and Xing Anya came back from lunch, and as soon as they entered the classroom, they were blocked by the class leader Wei Yupeng.

Wei Yupeng shouted, "Qi Xia, hello cow, the first in the single subject grade of Chinese 137, don't you see it, Lao Hu's mouth is almost laughing behind his ears in the office." ”

"It's amazing." Her classmates came to congratulate her.

Qi Xia was stunned, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he reacted. If you do well in the Chinese test, then the other subjects shouldn't be too bad, right?

It turns out that Qi Xia's feeling is right.

As soon as the grade list came out in the afternoon, Qi Xia's total score was 560, the class ranked 29th, and the grade ranked more than 500. In addition to Chinese, her other subjects have improved by three or four points on the basis of the original level.

The ranking chart was posted on the blackboard at the back of the classroom, and a group of students looked around and looked at it. Qi Xia saw that Chen Xifan's total score was 712, the first in the grade.

A gap of 152 points.

Qi Xia said to herself in her heart that she had to work harder.

After school that day, it was Qi Xia and Xu Youfei's turn to be on duty.

After taking out the garbage, the two went to the bathroom arm in arm. The bathroom and the playground are separated by a green belt, Qi Xia came out first, and stood next to the green belt waiting for Xu Youfei.

She looked up and roamed around Court No. 1, which was where Chen Xifan played most often, and he would be seen almost every day after school.

However, this time he didn't see him, Qi Xia was a little disappointed, and his puffed cheeks retracted his gaze.

Suddenly, someone patted her on the shoulder, and at some point, Xu Youfei walked to her side.

Qi Xia was taken aback, "Why are you scaring me?" ”

"Look at it, it's like losing your soul."

Qi Xia prevaricated, "It's nothing, there was a girl passing by just now who was very beautiful, I took a few more looks." ”

Xu Youfei didn't believe it, "Who?" Can you be prettier than you? ”

"Don't praise me so much, I used to be ugly." Qi Xia told the truth.

Xu Youfei's gaze was fixed on Qi Xia's face, and she was reluctant to move away. I've known each other for more than a month, and they're all familiar with each other, but Xu Youfei still can't help but take a few more glances at Qi Xia.

The girl has fair skin, and her facial features are not perfect when taken out alone, but when combined, it is good to see. In addition, Qi Xia has a quiet personality and a cold temperament, and at first glance, she looks like a little fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world.

It's just that there are too few words, and it's easy for people to ignore it.

Xu Youfei grabbed Qi Xia, "Ugliness used to be a thing of the past, but now it's okay to be beautiful?" Come, fairy sticker. ”

On the way back, Xu Youfei said that she was hungry and wanted to eat snacks, and Qi Xia was also a little, but the school supermarket was closed. The two walked to the third floor, turned the corner of the stairs, and a familiar figure came into view.

The boy was holding an orange basketball, he should have just finished exercising, with a thin layer of sweat hanging on his cold white cheeks and neck, the broken hair on his forehead was slightly wet, and the blue and white school uniform on his body showed a bit of youthfulness, and there was just the right amount of sexiness.

Qi Xia was slightly distracted, and his heartbeat missed a beat.

Chen Xifan was bowing his head and talking to the math teacher Zeng Wei, getting closer and closer, Qi Xia heard Zeng Wei say a string of numbers, which seemed to be a q/q number, saying that it was the person in charge of the competition, and asked Chen Xifan to remember to add it.

The boy replied nonchalantly, "Got it." ”

After explaining Zeng Wei, he hurriedly left, Qi Xia skillfully looked away, pretending to walk with his head down, trying to reduce his sense of existence.

"Brother, what are you talking about? Wow, why do these teachers keep looking for you? ”

Chen Xifan glanced at Xu Youfei and didn't intend to answer, but just turned the basketball in his hand, revealing a nosy meaning.

Xu Youfei pursed her lips, "Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, say goodbye." ”

"Wait." Chen Xifan stopped her, threw the basketball to Xu Youfei, and "Take the ball back to the classroom." ”

Xu Youfei climbed up the ladder, "Call me for help?" Then you have to show some sincerity, do you have anything to eat? Xia Xia and I are so hungry. ”

Chen Xifan was a little helpless in his pocket, but he still touched the pocket of his school uniform jacket, took out two bags of food and handed them to them. It is two small cakes, one strawberry flavor and one jujube paste flavor, Chen Xifan said: "He Xiao gave it, it should be non-toxic." ”

Xu Youfei was not polite at all, and took the jujube paste flavor and directly tore it open and took a big bite.

The rest was still in Chen Xifan's hands, and the boy raised his eyes to look at Qi Xia and motioned for her to take it.

The distance was not too close, but Qi Xia's head was already stagnant and couldn't move. She was so nervous that her palms were sweaty, and she endured it, pretending to look at him calmly, "No need to ......"

"Huh?" Chen Xifan tilted his head, as if he was a little puzzled: "Aren't you hungry?" It is estimated that he thought that Qi Xia didn't like cakes, so he took out a box of mints from his pocket and handed it over, asking, "What about this?" ”

"I ......" When it came to this, Qi Xia didn't want to refuse again, took the strawberry cake with both hands, and said softly: "Thank you." ”

"Little things." After saying that, Chen Xifan raised his chin at her, "Let's go." ”

The sun sets, the sunset is patchy, and the back of the young man is immersed in the soft light, gradually moving away.

Qi Xia's face was as usual, and he and Xu Youfei went back to the classroom.

Along the way, I felt my heart pounding and about to jump out of my chest. The strawberry cake in her pocket seemed to have a scorching temperature, burning her palms.

Qi Xia thought that she would remember this little thing for a long, long time.

On this day, the boy she liked gave her a piece of strawberry cake.

So much so that all night, her dreams were sweet.

Chapter 8

The small cake has a shelf life of half a month, and Qi Xia is reluctant to eat it, so it has been placed on the bedside desk. That night, she logged in to the q/q account and posted a message.
