Chapter 22

It would be dusk, the sky would be gray, and the whole sky would seem to be out of balance, dark and heavy.

The slender figure gradually approached, and when he saw the appearance clearly, Chen Xifan was stunned for a moment and trotted over.

"Qi Xia?"

The attached garbage can is very heavy, before the duty to take out the garbage, Qi Xia and they are two people each carrying a handle, today she came by herself to find out how heavy.

She struggled to carry the trash can downstairs, and climbed up to the third floor with difficulty, and she had no strength to go back and forth.

Qi Xia raised his head and was stunned when he saw Chen Xifan.

She suddenly became cramped, her dirty hands did not know where to put them, and she held the handle of the trash can tightly, her long eyelashes lowered and trembling gently.

His heart was beating faster, so violent that he seemed to jump out of his body, and the back of his ears was hot. Luckily, she wore a high ponytail today, and her drooping black hair hid her nervousness.

Chen Xifan ran to her, looked at the garbage can, then at her, and said, "I'll come." ”

"Huh?" Qi Xia was puzzled: "Is it your duty today?" ”

"It's He Xiao, he forgot to take out the garbage, please trouble you."

Qi Xia glanced at him secretly, then quickly looked away, and said in a warm voice: "It's not troublesome." ”

The young man took the trash can, and the moment he stretched out his hand, Qi Xia reacted slowly and did not withdraw his hand in time, causing the two fingers to accidentally touch and touch lightly.

Obviously, it was only a very light one, and it was also a short touch, but Qi Xia was frightened.

She jerked her hand back as if she had been electrocuted.

Her fingers were so hot, her cheeks were hot, and her whole body seemed to be burning to the point of smoking......

Qi Xia put his fingers behind his back, gently rubbing his fingertips, and the lightning and thunder in his heart could not be calmed down for a long time.

Obviously, Chen Xifan didn't pay attention to the movement of his fingers just now, he picked up the trash can with one hand and walked forward, and Qi Xia was not far behind.

Qi Xia observed, and only felt that the boy had a lot of strength.

Chen Xifan wears a blue and white school uniform, because he wears a black jacket outside in winter to keep warm, he wears a lot but not bulky, his back is vigorous, the green tendons on the back of his white hands are protruding, the bones are very heavy, and there is a sense of wild strength.

The heavy trash can looked light in his hand, and he could still shake it twice, Qi Xia stood behind him and looked at him openly, the corners of his lips smiled, she was so lucky today.

Back in the classroom, Chen Xifan put down the trash can and went to the end of the corridor to wash his hands.

Qi Xia had just finished washing, and she stood at the sink and shook the water on her hands. When Chen Xifan saw this, his eyes couldn't help but be stunned.

The girl's fingers are slender and beautiful, and her skin is really white, dazzlingly white.

Realizing what he was looking at, he lowered his head and withdrew his gaze.

After washing my hands, the phone rang.

Chen Xifan picked it up and dragged his tone: "Rebel, what are you doing?" ”

"Hey, it's nothing, Brother Fan, don't hang it, I just want to ask, has the garbage been emptied? The student council didn't deduct points, right? ”

Chen Xifan glanced in the direction of the classroom and said, "No, I didn't dump the garbage." ”

"Huh? Which good Samaritan is that? ”

"Qi Xia."

He Xiao didn't seem to think of this person for a while, and only after a long silence did he let out a long sigh, "It's her, the girl who plays with Xu Youfei every day, right?" Qi Xia is so good, I have to thank her another day. ”

"Well, you really should thank her."

The trash can is still a little heavier for a girl, just look at her hard work.

The phone hung up, and Chen Xifan's Islam office picked up his schoolbag and lazily hung it on his shoulders.

He looked down at his mobile phone and walked out of the classroom, one foot was already outside the door, he thought of something, turned around, and asked, "Qi Xia, aren't you leaving?" ”

Qi Xia was looking for a test paper in the desk, and when he heard this, he raised his head and couldn't help but stand up straight, "Well, I'll leave immediately, bye." ”

"Bye-bye."

Because of this little episode, on the way back to Baita Lane, Qi Xia was in a good mood. She plugged her headphones and listened to the song and hummed a few words along.

Back at the residence, Qi Xia walked through the small garden to the room, by this time it was already completely dark, the street lights in the small garden were dim, and the surroundings were quiet.

As she walked, she saw Aunt Wang, the cook, pushing Grandma Chen for a walk in the garden.

In winter, the garden scenery is depressed, and only the red plum camellia planted is blooming, and there is also a meaning under the light.

Qi Xia was about to step forward to say hello, when she heard Grandma Chen whisper, "You think so too, right?" That kid, who looked like a very serious person when he was young, would still do this kind of thing in middle age to disgrace our family, and if my wife was still there, his leg would be broken......

"Relax old lady, you are so old, let the children's affairs make their own trouble, you can enjoy yourself."

"What blessings do I enjoy, if I don't die of anger, my fortune will be great. You see, Shuangyu and Ah Fan are not coming to me now. ”

……

Although they said it in a fog, Qi Xia understood most of it.

Seeing that something was really going on at Chen Xifan's house, she suddenly thought that after returning from Yizhou Island, she didn't seem to have seen Aunt Lin and Chen Xifan in Baita Lane.

They haven't been here in a long time.

Qi Xia has always been worried about Chen Xifan, but he is powerless.

Empathy, she doesn't want others to know about her family. And Chen Xifan is originally a person with a strong sense of boundaries, she doesn't dare, and she can't overstep the distance.

I had to pay attention silently and secretly without causing him trouble.

When she returned to her room and wrote her homework, Qi Lanjing went into the room to help her change the sheets.

Qi Xia looked up from the sea of questions and said, "Auntie, I'll just change it myself." ”

"You are busy, study is important." Qi Lanjing said, "I just have a few dirty clothes to wash, and I'll help you clean them up." By the way, Xia Xia, yesterday I accompanied Grandma Chen to the cultural center on Fucheng Road, and I met a person who looked very much like your mother. ”

"Really?" Qi Xia put down his pen and stood up with a little excitement: "Could it really be my mother?" ”

Qi Lanjing put two pillows on her bed and said, "I only saw the side face, and she didn't answer after calling her a few times, she should just look alike." ”

The hope in his heart was shattered, Qi Xia nodded, "That's right, my mother had such a good relationship with you before, how could I not say hello if I saw you." ”

"No, I've known your mom since we were teenagers. Besides, she has no conflict with your father, and it is impossible for her to ignore me if she is divorced. ”

This is also what Qi Xia has never figured out, Qi Liguo and Zhao Xiangqiong have always had a good relationship, why did they divorce suddenly? After the divorce, Zhao Xiangqiong couldn't be contacted.

She asked, "Auntie, do you know why my parents divorced at that time?" ”

"Maybe the feelings are light, and the two of them live a life with a lot of things that can't be explained. Don't think about that as a child, reading is the right thing to do now. ”

That's right, it's a fact that her parents divorced, and Qi Liguo's death is also a fact, the past can't be changed, and there's no point in continuing to entangle.

Qi Xia didn't think much about it, and continued to do homework.

As soon as he arrived at school the next day, Qi Xia received good news.

Hu Zhonghai called her to the office with an excited face: "Qi Xia, Qingpei Cup Essay Competition, you have entered the retest!" ”

"Really?" Qi Xia was a little incredulous.

The Qingpei Cup Essay Competition is divided into a preliminary round and a semi-final, with the preliminary round being submitted online and the semi-final being played offline. Because of the relatively high gold content of this competition, there are more than 100,000 participants every year, and less than 500 people can enter the semi-finals.

"Of course it's true, can the teacher still lie to you?" Hu Zhonghai couldn't sit still, pacing back and forth in the office, "Sure enough, I didn't mistake you!" This time, there were 35 people in our school who signed up for the competition, and only seven of them entered the semi-finals, and the other six were all in the liberal arts class, and you were the only one in the science class. ”

Qi Xia was also very happy, and almost jumped up on the spot, "Teacher, what should you prepare for the semi-finals?" ”

"Don't worry, I'll tell you slowly."

Hu Zhonghai: "The rematch time is set for December 25, which is Christmas Day, and the venue is at the Fucheng Road Cultural Center. On-site writing depends on personal ability, you read more and memorize more during this time, and I will find some more information for you later. ”

"Thank you, teacher."

Hu Zhonghai smiled and said: "Don't be pressured, you can get a third prize in the semi-finals, and you also have the advantage of participating in independent enrollment, which is already worth it." ”

Back in the classroom, Qi Xia still had a fluttering feeling.

Xing Anya asked: "Why is Xia Xia so happy, what's the good thing?" ”

"I've taken the essay contest for the second time."

"Really?" Xing Anya praised: "You are so amazing, congratulations." ”

Xu Youfei hugged her, "Oh, it deserves to be the first in our Chinese grade!" I'm going to take the SAT next month, so let this little sister stick it up and suck in your European gas! ”

"I'll take a suck too."

The three of them made a mess, and suddenly Xu Youfei stopped, her eyes ambiguous: "Xia Xia, your breasts are so soft, touch them well." ”

"Really?" Xing Anya said: "Give me a touch too." ”

The next second, she had two more hands on her chest.

Qi Xia's cheeks flushed, and he quickly dodged: "You guys...... Stop it. ”

"Hahahaha, I really envy your boyfriend in the future."

"If I'm a man, I'll marry Xia Xia home, I'm good-looking, my breasts are soft, oh my God, bury my head in it and suck it-"

Fortunately, the next class is physical education, and all the students in the class will go to the playground, and this kind of shameful joke is nothing to talk about among good friends. Xing Anya and Xu Youfei finally stopped, and the three of them went to the playground to gather.

After a brief warm-up, the teacher let the teacher move freely.

Qi Xia and Xing Anya took a volleyball and played next to the playground, and the boys teamed up to play basketball. Qi Xia looked for the figure, and volleyball was also absent-minded.

The sun is high, but the temperature is not high.

Chen Xifan took off his coat, only wearing blue and white short sleeves, the sun jumped on him when he ran, the tips of his hair floated, and the whole person was very dazzling.

He dribbled to the basket, moved fluidly, dodged an interception, jumped up for a dunk, and the ball went in.

His teammates came forward to congratulate him, "Brother Fan, you're in good shape today." ”

"Okay." He said with his chin raised.

He Xiao guarded the short: "Our brother Fan is not in a good state one day, and he is very awesome every day." ”

"Some time ago, I felt that Brother Fan was a little unenergetic."

He Xiao said: "Then you feel wrong. ”
