Some people say that they feel pleasantly surprised, and being at the same table means that they have more opportunities to get along, and if they behave well, they may not have a crush come true. Some people also said that they were happy, knew a lot of his little secrets, and had endless words to say every day......

Qi Xia, as the party concerned, only felt frightened after a short period of surprise.

The embarrassment and nervousness were intertwined, and she didn't know how to react for a while. Qi Xia even regretted that she slept without blow-drying her hair after washing her hair last night, which caused her hair to be a little frizzy today; Because she stayed up late for a long time to brush up on the questions, she had a pox on the right side of her face......

Thinking of this, Qi Xia raised his hand and covered it without a trace.

She tilted her head, not daring to look at Chen Xifan at all. But Chen Xifan himself is a person with a strong sense of existence, and the distance between the same table is very close, even if he doesn't speak, Qi Xia's heart still can't sink.

The classroom window was open, and the faint mint aroma of the young man swept in by the spring breeze, encroaching on the breath inch by inch.

The heartbeat was a little faster, pounding against the chest, deafening.

When the six gods were gone, the English teacher saved her.

The English teacher of Class 5 is called Zhou Tong, and she wears a little bee into the classroom, and after a brief apology, she asks everyone to open the textbook and start teaching the text.

After a while, the entire classroom was haunted by Zhou Tong's voice, and Qi Xia's tense back was loosened.

Zhou Tong likes to read aloud to students in class, which is also Qi Xia's biggest headache. When she was in a small town, she always learned dumb English, and she was not very good at speaking, and the more she couldn't do it, the more afraid she was of being named.

"I'm going to find a few classmates to read this paragraph aloud." Zhou Tong's eyes wandered around the classroom, and finally landed in the first row.

She pointed her finger at Chen Xifan's desk, "Let's start here, two sentences per person." ”

Afraid of something, Qi Xia closed his eyes in despair.

Suddenly, the chair next to him was removed with a stabbing sound, Chen Xifan stood up, held the book and said: "At first my new surroundings were difficult tolerate......"

It's obviously an ordinary science and technology article, but through the mouth of the boy, there is a sense of storytelling. Pure American pronunciation, authentic intonation, and even every pause is just right, sounding exactly like an audio tape.

His voice was deep, soothing with a hint of bewitchment, and Qi Xia touched his ears uncomfortably.

Soon, Chen Xifan's two sentences were finished, he sat down, and Qi Xia stood up.

Qi Xia's spoken language is not good, coupled with his lack of confidence, he stumbles in reading.

Zhou Tong didn't say anything, but helped her correct the pronunciation of five words halfway, and encouraged: "Yes, it's good to come a few more times, and practice more." ”

After reading the two sentences with great difficulty, Qi Xia sat back, only to feel that his cheeks were burning.

Zhuyu is difficult to be in front of the tile stone, in such a comparison, why is she so bad?

The grades are not as good as those of others, and it is not good to read the texts aloud, and a frustrated mood spreads in the bottom of my heart, and the astringency in my eyes deepens. Qi Xia supported his face with one hand, and he couldn't read any of the words in the textbook.

I don't know how I got through the next ten minutes, but I remember that ten minutes before class, Zhou Tong said to let them study by themselves.

Qi Xia was still immersed in the emotions just now, a little absent-minded.

Next to her, Xing Anya bumped her elbow and whispered, "Xia Xia, help me ask the question of school grass." ”

Qi Xia is not very good at refusing people, so he slowly took the test paper. It was so embarrassing just now that she didn't know how to speak.

After hesitating, she stared at the physics question, her head wandered for a while, secretly looked at Chen Xifan's expression, plucked up her courage, and said, "Chen Xifan, you ...... Can you tell me about that? ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl's voice weakened.

Chen Xifan turned his head and looked, "Which way?" ”

"This."

Qi Xia put the test paper in the center of the two, Chen Xifan leaned closer, her heart jumped suddenly, as if she was on a roller coaster.

The distance was too close, Qi Xia held his breath, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out. She could see the boy's beautiful eyes, narrow and deep, the pupils were pale brown, and the skin was porcelain white like jade, reflecting the color of the lips very strongly.

After sneaking a few glances at him, Qi Xia suddenly looked away.

Chen Xifan didn't know anything about her small movements, just quickly scanned the question, ticked out the key information and started the calculation. After three or four minutes, he wrote down the process on scratch paper.

But Chen Xifan didn't give her an answer directly, but asked: "Do you have an idea?" ”

"Huh?" Qi Xia was a little stunned, and then shook his senses. In fact, she had done this problem before, but she couldn't continue halfway through it, so Qi Xia wrote the previous solution ideas.

Chen Xifan didn't say anything, just watched her write, until Qi Xia's train of thought was broken, and then said: "You have no problem with this method, but there is a hidden condition that I haven't found, so I can't solve it." ”

Then, Chen Xifan followed her train of thought.

At first, Qi Xia was a little calm, but thinking that Chen Xifan had worked hard to talk about the topic and couldn't let his family's efforts be in vain, he forced himself to immerse himself in it, and after a while, there were really no distractions.

Chen Xifan followed her train of thought again, and then talked about a simpler method, and after speaking, he asked, "Do you understand?" ”

"Well, I see, thank you."

Young raised his chin, "Little things." ”

For a while, Qi Xia was embarrassed, so he simply said thank you again.

At this time, the wind poured in from the window and rolled up the curtains, the test papers on the table flew over, Qi Xia's hand holding the pen was in a hurry, and the tip of the pen accidentally fell on Chen Xifan's English textbook, leaving a long black scratch.

Realizing that he had done something bad, Qi Xia panicked and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." ”

The boy looked at her, and in the next second, the corners of his lips suddenly curved.

Chen Xifan chuckled: "Qi Xia, did I murder you?" ”

"No, what's wrong?" Qi Xia's heart tightened.

Chen Xifan's tone was light: "It's nothing, I feel like you're a little afraid of me." ”

No one has ever been in front of him, cautiously like this.

The words fell, the bell rang after class, and more voices rang in the classroom one after another, He Xiao came to find Chen Xifan to go to the supermarket, and the girls in the back row were going to the bathroom arm in arm...... As if the spell of silence had been lifted, more voices poured in at once.

The noise around her soon drowned out her voice.

No one heard Qi Xia's muttering: I'm not afraid of you, I'm afraid that I can't hide the secret I like.

The seat next to her was quickly empty, so fast that Qi Xia suspected that it was just her hallucination that she and Chen Xifan briefly became the same table in class. It was like a beautiful dream, the eyes that were close at hand in the dream, her throbbing and panicked, all turned into foam in the moment of wakefulness.

For Chen Xifan, she is like the scratch on the textbook, dispensable, and as time goes by, the trace becomes lighter and fainter.

Since he was named to read a text in English class, Qi Xia has become the focus of Zhou Tong's attention, and every time he takes English class, Zhou Tong will order Qi Xia to read the text.

Although Qi Xia has the heart to improve, it is not an overnight thing to practice speaking, so he can only speak over and over again, and Zhou Tong corrects his mistakes over and over again.

This process is very torturous, and every time he finishes reading the text, Qi Xia is blushing and his ears are red.

After the English class that day, Qi Xia covered his face, full of frustration, "I'm so bad." ”

Xu Youfei comforted: "baby relax, Mr. Zhou graduated from the Foreign Affairs University, and after studying abroad for three years, he should have hired a free personal tutor, and it will always be good to talk more." ”

Xing Anya also said: "Do you know catastrophic thinking? That is, when doing something, it is easy to assume the worst possible outcome, but the truth is that 99% of what we fear will not happen. Xia Xia, speak boldly, you speak much better than the Indians! ”

"Thank you." Suddenly a little moved in his heart, Qi Xia asked, "Then how do you usually learn English?" ”

"I went abroad when I was seven years old, and the environment forced me." Xu Youfei said: "Like my brother He Xiao, they have been bilingual since they were children, and I feel that they still have to find someone to practice with you." ”

Xing Anya: "Agreed! I'll be fine. ”

With the guidance of a good friend, after Qi Xia adjusted his mentality, he spent more time talking to two people at the same table in English every day.

After class that day, Qi Xia received a call from Xu Youfei, saying that she had come to her aunt and was trapped in the bathroom, and asked for support for sanitary napkins.

Qi Xia found the sanitary napkin from the schoolbag, went to the bathroom as fast as he could, and passed a tree-lined road on the way to the detour. At this time, the weather is getting hotter, and the boulevard is full of vegetation and woody aromas.

As he walked, Qi Xia raised his head, and a familiar figure suddenly broke into his sight.

Chen Xifan and a few boys and girls walked up to him, each holding a thick stack of exercise books in their hands. The sun shines through the tender green leaves, and the dappled light and shadow fall on his shoulders, and he is like the protagonist in an old movie, appearing calmly.

Qi Xia was stunned for a moment, his steps stopped, his body reacted faster than his brain, and he subconsciously ran to the stone path next to him.

She didn't know why she was hiding, but when she thought about it later, probably because she was named to read the texts in those days, and her speaking was so bad, she must have left a bad impression on Chen Xifan.

There was a rockery between the stone path and the boulevard, and Qi Xia stood there, and after a while the group of people was close.

A female voice came clearly: "That Qi Xia in our class, it's really funny to speak English, I've never seen someone with such poor spoken English." As soon as she spoke, I wanted to laugh. ”

Qi Xia recognized that this was Sun Xiaojie, the representative of the Chinese class in Class 5, and she usually didn't have much contact with her.

What people said was the truth, Qi Xia couldn't refute it, just bit his lip and tightened his fingers on the school uniform.

Does Chen Xifan think the same way?

Immediately afterward, more conversations came.

"Speaking is very ordinary, but the language is awesome, and the Chinese score in the monthly exam is the first in the grade, fifteen points higher than your class representative." Chu Yang said.

"Chu Yang, do you want to die?"

Someone laughed and joined in the fun: "Chen Xifan, what do you think?" ”

Hearing that name, Qi Xia's breathing lightened a little. She waited quietly for trial like a prisoner of a crime.

In the next second, Chen Xifan's voice reached his ears: "I didn't pay attention." ”

"Huh? These days, the English teacher always asks her to read the text, and you haven't paid attention to this? ”

"Why should I be paying attention?" Chen Xifan asked rhetorically, his tone was nonchalant: "Study less about others, pay more attention to yourself, and have the leisure to do a few more sets of test papers." ”

"Okay, okay, you know, you're a question brushing machine."

"It's not good to say bad things about people behind your back, Qi Xia works hard." Squad leader Wei Yupeng stepped forward and ended the discussion.

The voice faded away, and Qi Xia slowly exhaled.

Because of Chen Xifan's words, she was a little lucky, but fortunately he didn't notice his bad side. But with that comes a huge loss.

Sure enough, it is impossible for someone who is not good to attract his attention.

So, what if she got a little better?

*

It's another weekend, today Cao Shuwei and his family went back to the suburbs to attend the wedding, and it was rare for Qi Xia not to go to Dongmian Community. She wakes up early to finish a set of test papers, then reads the English text aloud in front of the mirror.

On a sunny day, the sun was shining, and the cake was lying on the carpet basking in the sun, and was woken up by the sound of reading and squinted.

Reading until eleven o'clock, Qi Xia, who had a dry mouth, drank a bottle of water, played with cakes in the room for a while, and planned to go to the supermarket.

As soon as she arrived in the yard, Qi Xia heard Grandma Chen call her: "Xia Xia, do you know how to raise fish?" ”

Qi Lanjing is on vacation today, and it just so happens that the next-door neighbor is going on a trip and entrusts the fish to Grandma Chen to take care of, and she is not very good at getting it.

Qi Xia trotted over and said honestly: "I will be a little." ”
