Regardless of whether those words were true or not, Qi Xia felt for the first time that the world of adults was really disgusting.

When I went downstairs, I happened to meet Qi Lanjing, Qi Xia held back her tears and said this, Qi Lanjing's face darkened, and she took Cao Yu and asked her to go back to Baita Lane first, and she probably went back to Cao Shuwei to quarrel.

Back to Baita Lane, Qi Xia turned on the computer to prepare for the Qingpei Cup Essay Competition, the theme of this essay is "Shadow", a very abstract topic, Qi Xia originally had a clue, but after today's events, now can not write a word.

She took out the physics test paper issued by the cram school from her school again, and she was stuck in her thinking halfway through writing.

Qi Xia rested his forehead on his arm and let out a long sigh.

Qi Lanjing treats her very well, but many times Qi Xia still thinks of her father, especially when she sees other students picking up and dropping off her parents at school, this kind of longing is even deeper.

She didn't want to be a burden to anyone, and even wanted to go over to find her mother Zhao Xiangqiong, no matter how hard her life was, she would always be with the closest person.

Today, Cao Shuwei's words made her angry, but she could not refute it, because she was indeed given food and clothing by others.

Qi Xia turned out the account book, which wrote every expense after coming to Beijing, she wanted to say today that she would pay back the money after graduating from college, but Cao Shuwei didn't give her a chance to speak.

Qi Xia is sensitive and delicate, and is not good at expression. Every time she goes to the Dongmian community, she will figure out the words and eyes of the adults for a long time, for fear that she will make a mistake.

Emotions piled up in her chest, blocking her uncomfortable, she didn't know who to talk to, lying on the bed and quietly wiping her tears.

Would someone else's seventeen-year-old be so troubled?

She didn't know, anyway, she was seventeen years old, and it was so annoying.

Then, she picked up her mobile phone and found that Q/Q had a group chat message, and just clicked on Q/Q, the cake suddenly jumped over, and her paws snapped and pressed on the screen.

"What are you doing, silly cat." Qi Xia picked it up and rubbed the little brain melon, "Don't be naughty." ”

"Meow—"

When he picked up the phone again, Qi Xia found that just now the cake actually sent a message to Chen Xifan, the message had no content, it was just a string of garbled characters mixed with English letters and numbers.

Qi Xia's head buzzed, and he just wanted to withdraw when he saw the screen flash.

The starry ephemeris looks back: [Playing Truth or Dare and losing again? 】

Qi Xia's head is big, Chen Xifan has seen a cake, she didn't dare to say that she has a cat, so she had to be a scapegoat, and said: [I'm sorry, I just slipped my hand and accidentally pressed the wrong one. 】

Ephemeris of the Stars: [Well, it's fine. 】

Since the last time they played games together, the two haven't been in touch on Q/Q for a long time, and they have been lying in a row.

Silent late at night is the time when people's emotions are overflowing.

Through the network cable, Qi Xia plucked up his courage and asked: [What were you doing just now? Isn't it bothering you. 】

Chen Xifan replied: [Brushing the question, it's not a bother. 】

It turns out that learning God also requires day and night to brush up on questions. Xueshen is working hard, but she is trapped in emotions and can't extricate herself.

Qi Xia was so depressed and said: [I originally planned to brush up on the questions, but today I am not in a good state, and I can't do the questions without ideas. 】

At the other end of the network cable, Chen Xifan glanced at the screen and was silent for a long time.

He is not a nosy person, and he is not good at calming emotions, especially since the other party is a netizen who has never met before. But Chen Xifan was vaguely aware that in his case, the No. 7 classmate was not the same as the other netizens in the list.

Maybe it was because he was looking for a special 5 stamp when she happened to show up and sold it to him for a very real price; Maybe because of the summer vacation, the family was in turmoil, and on the day when he was in a very bad mood, she sent him more than a dozen bad jokes; Or maybe because she played games together, she was his daily apprentice......

All kinds of connections loosened his boundary line a little.

Chen Xifan said: [What grade are you in? 】

Qi Xia: [Senior year of high school. 】

Chen Xifan: [What questions can't be done, I'll take a look.] 】

Qi Xia got up from the bed with a spirit, a little incredulous, did Chen Xifan plan to teach her to do the questions?

She just said it casually, but she received a surprise.

Qi Xia didn't dare to delay, and immediately took a photo and sent him the problem, and within a few minutes, Chen Xifan sent the steps to solve the problem.

His problem-solving steps are comparable to reference answers, with neat handwriting on the white A4 paper, and some important knowledge points are intimately marked.

After sending the steps to solve the problem, he said: [You read first, don't know how to ask me. 】

Qi Xiazai took a closer look, and there was a step that she didn't understand, she typed and asked, Chen Xifan explained: [This is the deformation of Faraday's electromagnetic induction law formula, if the magnetic induction intensity remains unchanged......]

It was just a problem, and it was solved quickly.

Chen Xifan asked: [Is there anything else?] 】

A faint voice said in my heart, and then asked, seize the opportunity to say a few more words to him......

But Qi Xia was embarrassed to take up his time any longer, and he didn't want to act like an idiot, he wouldn't know anything.

She had no choice but to reply: "Not for the time being. 】

Chen Xifan: [Hmm. 】

It's very strange that just a few words with Chen Xifan and a physics problem have been done, and the mood that has just been depressed is much better.

Perhaps because she realized that such an excellent person as Chen Xifan was also studying on weekends, she had no reason to slack off.

Qi Xia sorted out a good mood, and in a moment, I felt that the theme of the essay "Shadow" had a creative idea.

The chat stopped here, she didn't want to look rude, and typed and said: "Thank you today, because I was a little annoyed by some things, but now it's much better, you can be busy.] 】

Chen Xifan: [You're polite, you can try to brush up on the questions when you're upset, it's very useful.] 】

Is this the way to learn God's worries?

Qi Xia was surprised, and then thought that when he first started chatting, he asked him what he was doing, and he said to brush the questions, does that mean that he is also a little troubled today?

In fact, since this semester, Qi Xia can feel some subtle changes in Chen Xifan.

It still looks like he doesn't care, and he seems to talk less than before, and more often he buries his head in the topic. Because almost everyone has this change after the third year of high school, she didn't think much about it before.

Combined with the phone call he heard that night, Qi Xia's heart became soft, and he couldn't help but want to coax him.

Her method of coaxing people is still the same, typing: [You should also pay attention to the combination of work and rest when brushing questions, I'll tell you a joke.] 】

[Xu Xian bought a hat for the White Lady, but after wearing it, the White Lady couldn't move, because it was a snake pressing hat. 】

Chen Xifan glanced at his mobile phone, held his forehead, and sent a string of ellipses.

Chen Xifan: [Where do you collect so many bad jokes? 】

Qi Xia told the truth: [When I was a child, the conditions at home were not good, there were no entertainment activities, I soaked in the library in the town every day to read, there were many cold joke books, I remembered them after reading them. And I was able to expand and adapt, and then the library closed, and the stories my sister listened to and read in her childhood, all of which I wrote. 】

Chen Xifan said: ["Birds and Fish" was also written by you? 】

Seeing the news, Qi Xia's cheeks were hot. She remembered that she had indeed posted a draft of "Birds and Fish" in the Q/Q trumpet space before, and she thought no one had read it.

Qi Xia: [Do you see my space? 】

Chen Xifan: [Well, I accidentally clicked in. 】

One night he had insomnia, bored looking at his phone, and accidentally clicked into the Q/Q space of student No. 7, and then saw the article "Birds and Fish".

The tsundere bird Sita and the stupid angel Miu make an appointment to travel around the world, and the first time Sita sets out, Sita thinks that the rain will drench his beautiful feathers, and they go home; On the second departure, Miao remembered that the family had not finished eating the water and grass they had hoarded, and they had gone home again...... Half a year later, a bird and a fish are still at the doorstep.

The story was very interesting, and the story was written in simple writing, but maybe it was too boring that night, and Chen Xifan actually finished reading a fairy tale.

Chen Xifan's grandmother was a member of the National Writers' Association, and she often served as a judge in many competitions, and he was influenced by the family atmosphere to read many books since he was a child.

Qi Xia felt very embarrassed, [I wrote casually, many places are immature. 】

Chen Xifan said: [Be modest. 】

It was just a polite remark, but because it was an affirmation from someone he liked, Qi Xia was still very happy.

She replied: [Thanks for the compliment.] 】

After that, the two went their separate ways, and that night Qi Xia Wen's thoughts flowed and he wrote a 5,000-word essay in one go.

After writing it, under the guidance of Hu Zhonghai, Qi Xia revised it several times, and it was officially delivered at the end of October.

*

In November, it was already very cold in Beijing, but the temperature had not reached below zero, and occasionally it rained and was accompanied by fine snow.

There is a social exam this weekend, and the attached middle school is used as a test center to requisition the teaching building of the first and second years of high school, and the third year of high school also takes advantage, and there is no need to study on Friday.

It is rare to have such an opportunity, the students run fast after school in the afternoon, and there is no one in the classroom at half past five.

After writing a set of test papers, Qi Xia slowly packed his schoolbag and walked out of the classroom, just in time to meet the students of the student council checking the hygiene on the third floor.

The inspection standards of the attached middle school are very strict, such as no paper scraps on the floor, no garbage in the garbage can, no dust on the window sill, etc., and the class conduct points will be deducted if you do not agree with each other.

At this time, the students in the student union found the third class, and Qi Xia turned his head to look at the classroom and found that the students on duty in their class had forgotten to take out the garbage.

Students will be selfless, and if they are caught, they will be deducted at least 10 points.

Qi Xia didn't quite know who was on duty today, so after thinking about it, it would be okay to go back anyway, so he put down his schoolbag and went out with the trash can.

At the same time, Chen Xifan walked to the school gate and received a phone call from He Xiao.

As soon as the phone was connected, He Xiao spoke quickly: "Brother Fan, Brother Fan, are you still in school?" ”

Chen Xifan walked out of his pocket and hummed lazily.

"That's great." He Xiao seemed to have found a life-saving straw, "Save my brother!" Today it's my turn to be on duty with the king, and I forgot to take out the garbage when I was in a hurry, can you do a favor? I grass, you know how fierce Zhu Qingqing, the labor commissioner of our class, is, if this deduction points, she will have to punish me for a week."

Chen Xifan took the phone farther away, and gloated in a gloating tone: "She punished you, not me." ”

"Chen Xifan, your mouth is really poisonous!" may be too afraid of being punished for duty, but in less than a second, He Xiao's tone softened again, "Brother Fan, dear Brother Fan, what is the relationship between the two of us, has the brotherhood deteriorated?" ”

Chen Xifan walked back leisurely, but his mouth was unforgiving: "Well, it's spoiled." ”

"It's a father-son relationship, right?" He Xiao can bend and stretch, "I understand, Dad, help." ”

Chen Xifan's voice had an obvious smile, "Okay, rebel." ”

The teaching building of the third year of high school is not far from the school gate, and it is only five or six minutes walk. Chen Xifan climbed up to the third floor in one breath, and when he entered the classroom, he didn't see the trash can.

The garbage cans in the attached middle school are uniform throughout the school, and they are dark blue cylindrical shapes with two handles on the edges.

Did someone steal their class's trash can?

Chen Xifan was strange and ran to the corridor to check.

He turned his head and saw a slender figure approaching in the distance, struggling to carry a garbage can......
