She pushed the wheelchair to send Grandma Chen into the house, and at a glance she saw a square fish tank in the living room. The fish tank is crystal clear and contains several colorful guppies.

"You help grandma to see if the fish is dead if it doesn't move in the tank and turns its belly."

Qi Xia approached, put his hand into the water and tried it, and said: "Maybe because the temperature is too low, the water temperature of guppies is best controlled at 22 degrees to 26 degrees, can this fish tank adjust the temperature?" ”

"It should be possible, you can look for it."

Qi Xia has seen a lot of smart fish tanks on Yizhou Island, she looked around and found that this fish tank is much more advanced, not only can it automatically feed and change water, but also the temperature and pH of the water can be controlled.

After studying for five or six minutes, Qi Xia reset the parameters of the water body, and after a while, the guppies turned over and began to swim slowly.

Seeing this, Grandma Chen was happy: "Xia Xia, you are very powerful." ”

Aunt Wang, the cook, echoed: "The reader is really powerful, I have been studying the colorful buttons on this fish tank for half an hour, and I didn't understand it." ”

Qi Xia was embarrassed to be praised, and smiled shyly, "This is nothing, just have a manual." ”

"I still have to thank you, otherwise this fish is dead, and I can't explain it to the old sister next door." Grandma Chen patted the back of her hand, "Have you eaten?" Let's eat together later, my grandson and they're almost there. ”

Hearing this, Qi Xia's back stiffened.

Is Chen Xifan coming to Baita Lane today?

The head exploded with fireworks, and for a while it was an ugly picture of English class reading aloud, and then there was a faint smile on the corner of the teenager's mouth when he was talking about the topic.

Confused, Qi Xia refused: "No need grandma, I have something to go out." ”

Grandma Chen couldn't stop her again, but she stuffed a bag of food for her before leaving.

Out of Baita Lane, Qi Xia first went to a nearby supermarket to buy two bags of cat food and three boxes of canned food. The cost of living is limited, she buys the cheapest, and when she carries her things back to Baita Lane, because she wants to explore the surroundings, she picks a road that she has not taken.

Turning into the alley, the Chinese acacia on both sides is lush and green, and there are many snack bars along the street, among which a bookstore is abruptly interspersed. The narrow wooden door, the old signboard has three words written on it: Good learning bookstore.

Qi Xia walked in, and a young girl stopped her: "Who are you looking for?" ”

"I'm not looking for anyone, I'll just take a look."

The young girl held a paintbrush in her hand and said with a smile: "Just look at it, rent a book for one yuan a day, stamps and new books may not be sold." ”

It was the first time for Qi Xia to see someone who did business so casually, so he nodded and said okay.

The bookstore is cramped and divided into two areas, with stamps on one side and books on the other. Qi Xia flipped through a few books, felt bored, and turned his head to look at the stamps.

She's not a philatelic enthusiast, but those stamps are so special, air stamps, military stamps...... It is so amazing that people can't take their eyes off it, and even some foreign stamps issued in the fifties of the last century are packed in glass photo frames, which are very precious at a glance.

Qi Xia was so engrossed that he forgot the time, and didn't pick a few magazines and leave until the evening.

Back at Baita Lane, she deliberately glanced at the white western-style building when she passed the courtyard. Not surprisingly, she saw Chen Xifan on the open-air balcony.

The twilight was dusk, the sparse wind swept through the treetops, and Qi Xia passed behind him.

She noticed that in addition to Chen Xifan and Grandma Chen, there was also a slender middle-aged woman on the open-air balcony. The woman was wearing a white half-sleeved cheongsam, with her black hair coiled up and a bracelet on her wrist, with a gentle appearance.

Grandma Chen called her Shuangyu, and Qi Xia guessed that she was probably Chen Xifan's mother.

Qi Xia heard the woman say: "Xifan, this kid, usually either tinkers with his pile of models, or goes out to play with his friends, I don't have to worry." But are there any girls among the friends you're hanging out with? ”

Chen Xifan just smiled, and his tone was helpless: "Mom, if you want to ask me if I have a girlfriend, you can just say it." ”

"Okay, then I asked, I heard Fei Fei say that there are girls in the school who give you chocolates, have you talked about it?"

Grandma Chen also came to join in the fun, and said, "Are you in love?" ”

Although she already knew the answer to this question, Qi Xia still took a pause, eager to prick up her ears to listen.

And Chen Xifan's answer did not disappoint her, the boy's voice was lazy, "No." ”

Grandma Chen sighed lightly: "You can't do this, I think when I was seventeen years old, I had already gone to the movies with your grandfather hand in hand." ”

"When I was seventeen, your dad ran to the door of the dance academy to bring me flowers."

The two women joked, but Chen Xifan just laughed, "Not really." ”

"If you don't believe it, do you dare to show us the phone?"

Chen Xifan's expression remained unchanged, as if in order to make these two women die, he took out his mobile phone and said in a frivolous tone: "Look at it casually, it's okay if you dismantle the phone." ”

"Okay, to be fair, you see me." Lin Shuangyu also handed over her mobile phone.

Chen Xifan was too lazy to look at it, so he took it and put it on the table.

The two women looked around, and indeed found no suspicious traces, and when they clicked on q/q, they saw an interesting name.

Lin Shuangyu said: "This screen name is very good, who is he?" Why don't you give someone a note. ”

"Which one?"

"The one called Classmate Seven."

Chen Xifan didn't answer, as if he didn't remember who it was for a while, and after a moment of silence, he wrote lightly: "A netizen." ”

Chapter 11

After school on Monday, it was Qi Xia's turn to be on duty.

The health inspection of the attached middle school was very strict, and after cleaning, Qi Xia, Xing Anya, and Xu Youfei waited for more than ten minutes, until the people in the student union said that there was no problem, and then they packed up their things and went downstairs.

In the beginning of summer, it was already hot in Beijing, and the three of them were sweating after labor, so Xu Youfei proposed to buy ice cream.

On the way, Xu Youfei announced a big event: "I have a birthday at the end of this month, and you will all come to the house to play at that time." ”

"Do you have a party at home?"

Xu Youfei: "Almost, eating, drinking, playing board games or something." ”

"Who else is going?" Qi Xia asked.

"My brother He Xiao and them, there are more than 20 people in our class, and there are also people from other schools, you two are my best friends in the attached middle school, you must come."

It's rare that Xing Anya doesn't have to go to cram school today, she quipped: "Your best friend in the attached middle school is not me two, it's He Xiao, right?" ”

"How is that possible! People and pigs are segregated from each other, and they can't resonate with their thoughts. ”

It's fun to watch Xu Youfei and He Xiao noisy every day, Xing Anya asked, "Are you celebrating your seventeenth birthday?" ”

"yes, I don't know about your two birthdays when it comes to this, who is older and who is younger among the three of us?"

Xing Anya is born in January, she is already seventeen, Qi Xia said: "I was born in July." ”

"What day exactly?"

Qi Xia: "July 7th. ”

"On Valentine's Day?" Xu Youfei wowed, "You, like my brother, are also Valentine's Day birthdays." ”

Qi Xia chuckled in his heart, "Chen ...... Chen Xifan? ”

"Well, my brother's birthday is February 14th, and you are on the 7th of July, one in the West and one in the East, anyway, it's all Valentine's Day."

In this way, Chen Xifan is five months older than her, and Qi Xia silently remembered his birthday. A secret joy takes root, sprouts, and grows in the body...... Qi Xia restrained his smile, but his heart seemed to explode fireworks.

No one knew that in the years when she had a crush on Chen Xifan, a little coincidence was enough to make her happy for several days. For example, the two of them have homework books next to each other, such as accidentally seeing him at the school gate.

Joy, anger and sorrow are affected by him, and there are unknown hopes every minute and second, and even every pen of her is familiar with his name.

"Are you going to go for my birthday?"

Xing Anya: "Of course I went." ”

Qi Xia didn't hesitate any longer: "Well, I'll go." ”

"Then say okay, tell me in advance what you like to eat, and I'll let the aunt at home make it when the time comes."

The trio bought ice cream and a bag of bread at the supermarket and planned to go to the lake to feed the fish. As soon as I got out of the supermarket, I happened to bump into the squad leader Wei Yupeng.

Wei Yupeng hugged a box of water and panted to greet them: "Three beauties, go to the basketball court to cheer us on if you have time." ”

"Is there a ball game today?"

"Well, let's play a class, this will not start yet, Brother Fan, they are warming up before the game, and I will come out to buy water."

Hearing Chen Xifan's name, Qi Xia paused. Of course, she knew that Chen Xifan was going to play a ball game today, and she would go to the bathroom in the afternoon, and she heard it when she deliberately went out through the back door.

Qi Xia was going to take a peek when he passed by the playground, but now that Wei Yupeng was invited, there was no reason not to go.

The three of them followed Wei Yupeng to the playground, it was hot, Wei Yupeng was sweating profusely on his head, Qi Xia said, "Let's help you hold a few bottles of water." ”

"No, no, how can a girl do coolies." Wei Yupeng refused.

"Let's hold a few bottles, and they're not heavy anyway."

Xing Anya is a cheerful person, she directly took a few bottles of water from the cardboard box and held them in her arms, Xu Youfei and Qi Xia did so, Wei Yupeng smiled embarrassedly, "Thank you, thank you, let the beauties suffer." ”

"Well, don't embarrass our class in the ball game."

Wei Yupeng: "Don't worry about this, there is Brother Fan." ”

The students of the attached middle school are usually a little out of shape, and it is normal for classmates to joke with each other, but the collective consciousness is very strong, and if one thing is linked to the honor of the class, it is a big deal, and no one is sloppy.

By the time we got to the playground, the game had already begun. There were many people standing next to the playground, and the cheering and shouting was deafening.

"Whoever wants water will come and get it himself." Wei Yupeng shouted.

Qi Xia put down the bottle of water one by one, and suddenly a hand reached out in front of him, and the boy said, "Give me a bottle." ”

Qi Xia raised his head and unexpectedly saw Chu Yang.

She was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything, handed over a bottle of water, and Chu Yang said thank you.

"Xia Xia, come here." Xu Youfei took a good position and let her pass.

On the pitch, the atmosphere was unprecedentedly warm. The jersey of Class 5 is light blue and Class 1 red, and it stands to reason that at a glance, you should notice a more eye-catching red. But the first thing Qi Xia saw was Chen Xifan wearing the No. 2 jersey.

Chen Xifan wore a white T under the blue jersey, black pants reached the knees, revealing tight and powerful calves, and his skin was so white that it seemed to glow. The broken hair on his forehead was a little long, probably worried about blocking his vision and affecting his performance, so he wore a black headband.

Obviously, everyone on the court is dressed similarly, but Chen Xifan is exceptionally good-looking.

Ball control, jumping, running...... He seems to be born with a hook, and everything he does is eye-catching, and Qi Xia can't take his eyes off it at all.

Of course, she is not the only one who can't take her eyes off.

Most of the people around the stadium are girls, and there are other classes in Class 5, and there are even senior high school freshmen and juniors. The girls shouted excitedly, as if this was not a basketball game, but Chen Xifan's solo show.
