Xu Youfei's family lives in Ziyu Academy, and Qi Xia has heard that it is a famous rich area in Beijing, with more than 200,000 square meters. Rao listened a lot, and when she entered the community, she was still frightened by the rows of single-family villas.

The single-family villas are beautiful and structured, and the community has an artificial lake football field and a large lawn, which does not look like a residential area, but like an attraction.

Xu Youfei came to the door in person to pick her up, "I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Qi Xia handed her the gift, "Happy birthday, Fei Fei, you are beautiful today." ”

"Hahaha, yes, I've been doing this for three hours."

Xing Anya said: "Three hours is worth it. ”

There was a voice behind him, and He Xiao came out from not far away, "It's worth a fart, Miss Xu started bombarding me with phone calls at five o'clock in the morning, buying things and picking up people, am I your little brother?" ”

"No, you're my servant!" Xu Youfei raised her chin and said.

Noisy and noisy entered the house, Xu Youfei let them eat and play casually, and she had to pick up a few people.

Maybe it's to let these high school students have a good time, there is no adult in the family, there are many classmates in the fifth class, playing games and billiards, Wei Yupeng is pulling a few people to play werewolf killing.

Qi Xia Xing Anya doesn't like to join in the fun, sitting on the sofa eating fruit and chatting. After an hour of such silence, Xu Youfei said that everyone was here, clean up and prepare to cut the cake.

Qi Xia looked left and right, subconsciously looking for that familiar figure in the crowd.

According to the math teacher, the AMC competition ended two days ago, and the students of the affiliated high school returned to China on the same day. Xu Youfei's birthday, won't Chen Xifan come?

She turned her head frequently, Xing Anya was inexplicable, "Xia Xia, who are you looking for?" ”

After looking around, I still didn't see Chen Xifan, I couldn't help but feel lost, Qi Xia's voice was a little low, and replied, "It's nothing, just take a look." ”

The three-tiered birthday cake had been rolled out, everyone was planting candles, and a second before the lights went out, the door opened, and there was a person who was late.

It's Chen Xifan.

The teenager wore a gray T-shirt and washed jeans, and a peaked cap on his head. I haven't seen him for more than half a month, Qi Xia always feels that he seems to have grown a little taller, and the brim of his hat covers half of his face, making his jawline particularly sharp.

The moment Chen Xifan entered the house, all the lights went out, and the birthday song sounded in the faint candle light.

He didn't alarm anyone, walked a few steps closer and stood against the wall in the outer circle of the crowd, and Qi Xia happened to be standing there.

The distance is close.

The heartbeat was like a kite with a broken string, and it began to pound uncontrollably again.

He was a surprise that fell from the sky, and Qi Xia almost screamed.

In the darkness, she saw Chen Xifan clapping his hands with the army, and his soft humming sounded in her ears, "I wish you a happy birthday......

This is the first time Qi Xia has heard him sing, the boy's voice is very clear, which will deliberately lower with a little magnetism, Qi Xia feels as if his ears have been scratched by feathers.

When the lights came on again, no one noticed, and her ears, which were covered by black hair, were already completely red.

Xu Youfei beckoned everyone to share the cake, and then ran to Chen Xifan, "Brother, where is my gift?" ”

Chen Xifan raised the brim of his hat, "Put it on the table." ”

After the words fell, he was called to the balcony by several boys, Xu Youfei held Qi Xia and said: "Leave them alone, a group of aviation fans, it is estimated that they will discuss the model again." Let's go, let's go play Werewolf Kill. ”

Qi Xia peeked at his back, and the smile on the corner of his mouth slowly opened, "Okay." ”

There are many werewolf killing enthusiasts in Class 5, and they are all veteran players, Qi Xia can only be regarded as a novice. She took the witch card, but she was unlucky to eat the first knife, leaving her last words out.

After watching the game for five or six minutes, Xu Youfei shouted to pause and answer the phone, and then pulled her aside nervously: "Xia Xia, help!" ”

"What's wrong?"

"Can you help me pick up a courier at the post station on the other side of the artificial lake? It was a friend who made a spongeBob SquarePants cake for me, and the community security guard didn't let the courier deliver it to the door. Immediately afterwards, Xu Youfei stuffed her cards to her, "Or you can play with me, and I'll come when I go." ”

Qi Xia saw that it was a werewolf card, and he didn't dare to take it at all, "You play, I'll pick it up by express." ”

She moved quickly, walked all the way out, and soon arrived at the post station. Finding SpongeBob SquarePants Cake, Qi Xia walked back with it.

At night, a cool breeze blows in the center of the lake, and the trees on the roadside rustle. After walking for more than ten minutes, Qi Xia felt that something was not right, this didn't seem to be the way he came.

She turned her head and looked around by the light of the street lights, all of which were unfamiliar landscapes. The road from Xu Youfei's house is full of sycamores, but all the willows are planted on this road.

Qi Xia touched his pocket, it was empty, and the phone was in his schoolbag. She scolded herself for being an idiot, looked at the fork in the road, and couldn't even find her way back to the express station.

She was a little panicked when there was a sound of footsteps behind her.

Qi Xia retreated, hesitating between running away and asking for directions, and the next second, he was stunned when he saw the person coming.

Chen Xifan walked up to him, his steps were leisurely, he looked like he was walking, and he was holding something like a photo album in his hand. He had headphones stuffed in his ears, and when he saw Qi Xia, he seemed to be stunned, took off the headphones and approached.

"Qi Xia? Why are you here? ”

Qi Xia felt so embarrassed, "I came out to get the cake, and I forgot the way back." ”

Chen Xifan wrinkled his eyebrows, "Let the guests run errands, Xu Youfei can really do ......"

"Don't scold her, she's busy, I'm just by the way."

Chen Xifan glanced at her and didn't say any more, "Come with me." ”

There was not much emotion in this, and the young man just raised his chin and motioned to follow him.

Qi Xia said, "Okay." ”

Chen Xifan took the cake from her very gentlemanly, even though he understood that this was just his good upbringing, Qi Xia's heartbeat was still chaotic.

On the way back, neither of them talked much, although they were in the same class, they were not familiar with each other after all, and they couldn't find a topic.

Qi Xia followed behind him, always maintaining a distance of less than two meters. The space was open, but she felt like she was in a secret room, and the oxygen was thinning little by little.

looked up at Chen Xifan in front of her, she was most familiar with his back.

After walking for about ten minutes, the light in front of me suddenly dimmed, and it turned out that there were several street lights here that were broken. Chen Xifan slowed down, and Qi Xia also slowed down.

It was a starry night and the moon was dim. The street lamps were dim, reflecting two long shadows.

Qi Xia suddenly remembered a sentence he had read in a book before, stepping on a person's shadow, he would not go far.

So, she shifted her steps and quietly stepped on the shadow of the man in front of her.

It was also at this time that Chen Xifan turned around suddenly, and Qi Xia was so frightened that he froze in place.

She thought that she had been found out about doing bad things, but Chen Xifan turned around, just smiled comfortingly, and said, "Don't be afraid, just follow me." ”

It turned out that he felt scared before turning back.

Under normal circumstances, girls will definitely be afraid of walking at night with boys, and his carefulness made Qi Xia's heart warm, and he also smiled, "Well, I'm not afraid." ”

It didn't take long for the scenery around me to become familiar. The lights ahead are bright, and the destination is almost there.

Selfishness, taking advantage of this opportunity, Qi Xia wanted to say a few more words to him, so he clenched the corner of his clothes, "You...... Why is it outside? ”

Chen Xifan didn't look back, and raised the stamp book in his hand: "They want to see stamps, I'll go home and get them." ”

Qi Xia understood this sentence and guessed that Chen Xifan's family should also be here.

"Do you collect stamps?"

"Well, it's a mess."

Soon, Xu Youfei's family arrived.

Going up the stairs to the door, Chen Xifan opened the door but did not enter. He held the door, looked at Qi Xia slightly sideways, and motioned for her to go in first.

It's like stepping on a cloud, and it's unreal.

Qi Xia held his breath and said, "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome."

The two entered the house one after the other, and the lights converged on the boy's head, and he was surrounded into the sea of people, becoming the focus again.

Qi Xia stood in place, staring blankly at the scene in front of him.

She thought that it didn't seem so bad to get lost tonight.

Chapter 13

When Qi Xia and Chen Xifan came back, Xu Youfei and the others had just finished the last game of werewolf killing and were reviewing it.

The lights in the living room were bright, and a few eyes fell on Chen Xifan, and no one paid attention to her who was following her.

Qi Xia put the SpongeBob SquarePants cake into the kitchen refrigerator, and Xu Youfei greeted her and hugged her: "I'm sorry Xia Xia, I'm not familiar with life, I shouldn't have asked you to get the cake, I heard my brother say that you went the wrong way?" Woo sorry ......"

"It's fine." Qi Xia said, "Aren't I coming back?" ”

"I'm glad I met my brother, otherwise I would have sinned too much."

Qi Xia echoed in his heart: Yes, fortunately I met him.

Coming out of the kitchen, Qi Xia felt as if there were more people in the living room that he didn't know. At the central round table was a stamp book, the one brought by Chen Xifan, and several boys were reading it together.

Chen Xifan stood next to him, holding the edge of the table with one hand and chatting with Song Qingzhuo about the math competition.

Because strangers are present, they will be a little restrained from each other, but Chen Xifan has a sense of relaxation, no matter who talks to him, he can deal with it with ease if he doesn't know him.

Polite and thoughtful, I really can't fault it.

Xu Youfei took her to the sofa and said as she walked: "Those are the sons of my father's colleague, but they don't know me very well." Forget it, my brother will deal with it anyway, let's continue to play Werewolf Kill? ”

"I'm too vegetable." Qi Xia said, "Let's watch you play from the side." ”

Xu Youfei: "Okay, then you sit down first, and I'll go say hello to a few friends." ”

Qi Xia sat down next to Xing Anya and watched them start another game.

When he looked up again after a while, Qi Xia found a girl standing next to Chen Xifan.

The girl wore a high ponytail, revealing a slender neck, and a well-tailored white dress, which made her elegant and calm.

She looked up at Chen Xifan, she didn't know what she was talking about, her eyes were full of smiles.

Chen Xifan's expression was still faint, with a little smile, and he nodded in response.

Qi Xia was sitting right in front of the air outlet, and the cold air was blowing in her face, freezing her hands and feet stiff.

She is not the only one who saw this scene, Wei Yupeng was a little gossipy, he sighed: "Brother Fan's heterosexual relationship is really good, there are girls around everywhere." ”

"You're going to look like that, and you're going to have this treatment."
