Time flies by, and the winter vacation is over.

At the end of February, the college entrance examination entered the countdown, and Qi Xia did not see Chen Xifan at school for a long time.

She found an opportunity to ask Qi Lanjing, but Qi Lanjing only replied that it was inconvenient to tell the outside world, not to mention that it was not something she should be concerned about. Because Xu Youfei was preparing to go abroad, she no longer came to school in the second semester of her third year of high school, and Qi Xia couldn't find anyone to inquire.

One day in mid-March, the city's first-model exam ended. The questions in this exam were too difficult, and Qi Xia felt that his performance was mediocre, and he began to worry about his score when he came out of the examination room.

On the day after the exam, the teachers of each subject began to talk about the test papers, and it was her and Xing Anya's turn to leave school, and another girl was on duty.

"Xia Xia, let's go take out the trash."

Qi Xia put down the broom and said, "Okay, then I'll mop the floor after wiping the blackboard." ”

She stood on the podium, knocked the blackboard a few times in the corner, and raised her hand to wipe the blackboard. The top of the blackboard was very high, and she still couldn't wipe it on tiptoe, and she was distressed when the blackboard eraser in her hand was suddenly snatched up.

Chu Yang took the blackboard eraser, wiped the handwriting clean in three or two clicks, and looked back at her, "Isn't this clean." ”

"Thank you." Qi Xia said a little uncomfortably.

"You're welcome, are you on duty alone?"

"No, they're going to take out the trash." In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Qi Xia said in a joking tone, "It seems that I haven't seen you at school for a long time." ”

Chu Yang looked at her and suddenly laughed, "Well, the study abroad class has been busy recently, haven't you seen what Xu Youfei has become, she usually doesn't dress up and doesn't go out, but now she can go to class with peace of mind without washing her face." ”

Qi Xia could imagine that scene and couldn't help laughing, "It seems that the road abroad is also very difficult. ”

"Well, it's not easy."

Thinking that Chu Yang and Chen Xifan usually had a good relationship, Qi Xia thought to himself: Perhaps, he will know about Chen Xifan's recent situation?

As soon as the idea popped up, it couldn't be taken back.

Qi Xia paused, pretending to be in a normal tone: "Recently, there are quite a few students in our class who don't come to class, and I heard from the teacher that they are preparing to apply for studying abroad, hmm...... I see that in addition to Fei Fei, there are ......"

In the middle of speaking, she suddenly heard a chuckle, and Chu Yang looked at her: "Do you want to ask Chen Xifan?" ”

His mind was exposed, Qi Xia was stunned and didn't make a sound.

Chu Yang propped his arms on the podium, like a playboy brother, and his tone was frivolous: "Classmate Qi Xia, do you like him so much?" ”

Qi Xia raised his head suddenly, his face turned red, and his ears were hot.

Her mind was spied on, and her whole body visibly panicked, and she took a step back and slammed into the table.

"Be careful." Chu Yang reminded.

Qi Xia lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him, and stiffened his neck: "I don't understand what you're talking about." ”

Shy and annoyed, Qi Xia couldn't tell which emotion was more, so she quickly ran to the back of the classroom, picked up the mop and prepared to mop the floor.

Chu Yang followed and sneered: "What are you hiding? That's it, it's nothing to tell you, Ah Fan's mother has passed away. ”

Qi Xia's chest jumped heavily, and he didn't dare to listen to it anymore.

"Aunt Lin used to teach at the dance academy and participated in many national performances, and her students and colleagues went to the memorial service, but Ah Fan was very busy during this time, so she never came to the school."

It seemed to be stuffed with a ball of cotton wool in her chest, stuffy, and it made her uncomfortable.

Qi Xia pressed back her tears, but her nose was even more sour.

The impression of Aunt Lin is a very gentle woman. She likes to wear cheongsam, has a white jade bracelet on her wrist, and has a slender figure and a gentle speech. She called her little girl, whispered to wish her a speedy recovery, and liked to pick flowers and make rose cakes with Grandma Chen......

Those memories of her, vivid and beautiful, have all vanished at this moment.

Qi Xiasheng's voice was a little hoarse, "That...... Will he still come to school? ”

Of course, in April and May, the university began to recruit pilots, and Ah Fan would come to take the preliminary and re-examination. Not...... Don't worry, I've been to see him and he's fine. ”

Qi Xia muffled: "Thank you for telling me this. ”

Chu Yang looked at her for a long time without saying a word, and finally said, "It's okay, I can help you." ”

Chu Yang is a very difficult person to see, he is usually prodigal and casual, his girlfriend is diligent, and almost every month, Qi Xia can see different girls coming to him. But when he got serious, Qi Xia felt that this person didn't look as bad as he imagined.

Chu Yang suddenly asked, "Qi Xia, do you know where we first met?" ”

This question is a bit nonsensical, Qi Xia thought about it and replied: "The fifth class classroom of the second year of high school." ”

Chu Yang's smile was a little difficult, "You really don't remember." ”

"Isn't it? Where is that ? ”

"In February last year, the Dongmian community."

Qi Xia was surprised, "Do you live in Dongmian Community?" ”

"No, my grandmother lives over there."

In her impression, she seemed to have never seen Chu Yang in the Dongmian community, and Qi Xia was about to ask for more details, when Xing Anya and another girl came back with a trash can.

Chu Yang didn't want to say anything more, so he beckoned, "Let's go." ”

That night, after self-study, Qi Xia sat on the bus back to Baita Lane, recalling Qi Liguo's feelings when she died.

There is a very popular saying on the Internet that the death of a loved one is not a rainstorm, but a lifetime of dampness.

In the days after Qi Liguo's death, Qi Xia was very calm after crying, because he was faced with a lot of things, such as funeral, burial, and condolence......

As the eldest daughter, she was very busy in those days, and she didn't have any time to be sad. Qi Xia once thought that she was a cold-blooded person, but on the day of the funeral, she took Qi Yuan home, looked at the empty door of her house, and thought that no one at home would wait for her anymore, and tears fell like rain.

It was a kind of afterthought, a long and continuous labor pain.

Because of similar experiences, Qi Xia empathized with Chen Xifan's situation.

To have a crush on someone is to know that he is sad and that he has no position to comfort him.

Even so, Qi Xia decided to do something.

She turned on her mobile phone and clicked into Chen Xifan's space, and found that there were a few people who left messages such as "festival condolences", which should be his close friends.

Qi Xia thought about it, deleted, deleted and changed a line of words: [I accidentally learned the news of the death of your relative, are you okay?] 】

[Actually, I had a similar experience. Well...... I was so sad when my dad died, I would cry every day, and then I was told that he might become a star, or a breeze, or anything, but he was with me in a different way. Your loved ones must not want you to be unhappy, may you be well. 】

[If you need help, please let me know.] Sorry, I hope these messages don't bother you. 】

The news sank into the sea, and Chen Xifan's gray avatar did not light up, nor did he reply.

As the days continued unhurriedly, the college entrance examination was getting closer and closer, and the numbers on the countdown signs had changed from three digits to two digits.

Qi Xia is like a learning machine, every day in addition to learning is learning, every time you log in to q/q and see Chen Xifan's avatar, there will be a deep sense of powerlessness.

Every April, in order to relieve the pressure of senior high school students, the affiliated high school organizes student outings. The location of the outing is set at Yanmeng Mountain, and it is an annual tradition to hike up the mountain and take the cable car down the mountain.

The day of departure was Saturday and the students met at the school entrance.

Qi Xia wore a thin jacket and sweatpants, and Xing Anya took her arm and sighed: "Hey, it would be nice if Fei Fei was here, we beautiful three musketeers will conquer Yanmeng Mountain together, what a beautiful memory of youth." ”

Qi Xia also had a little regret: "She went to Japan to take the SAT." ”

"So it's a pity." Xing Anya thought of something, "I heard that the Guangji Temple on Yanmeng Mountain has a special wish, and many schools organize students to go there to worship every spring, and when they get to the mountain, let's help Fei Fei worship too." ”

"Okay."

The time was not early, and Wei Yupeng organized everyone to line up to get on the bus.

Qi Xia and Xing Anya lined up in the back, and when they arrived at the car, they found that the front seats were full, and only there was an empty seat next to Sun Xiaojie.

Qi Xia and Xing Anya didn't deal with Sun Xiao, but Xing Anya was worried about motion sickness, so she had to reluctantly sit with Sun Xiaojie.

Qi Xia sat alone in the back row, she put her schoolbag in the empty seat next to her, and opened the window to see the scenery.

After a while, the school buses of other classes departed one after another. I don't know if it's a hallucination, but Qi Xia vaguely saw a figure running through the window, the figure was thin and long, and it was very familiar......

Is it Chen Xifan?

She was startled, and was about to get up to take a look, when suddenly a shadow fell beside her.

Immediately, there is a faint mint smell approaching.

"Is there anyone in this position?"

Qi Xia Huoran raised his head and met his gaze.

The weather was comfortable, there was no scorching sun or torrential rain, the sun shone through the thin clouds, and the soft light fell on him. His expression and tone of speech were very faint, just like this April day on earth.

After not seeing each other for a long time, Chen Xifan lost some weight, and he wore a black peaked cap, a white jacket, and black sweatpants.

He propped one arm on the back of the empty seat and stared at Qi Xia, waiting for her answer.

It was as if a stone was thrown into the calm lake, and the ripples spread out in a circle, Qi Xia's heart was like a deer, and he was stunned before replying: "No." ”

She hurriedly picked up her schoolbag and hugged it in her arms, vacated her seat, and Chen Xifan sat down.

Then the car started and merged into the traffic and got on the highway.

Qi Xia was so nervous, he peeked at him, and saw that Chen Xifan was stuffed with headphones, resting on the back of the chair with his eyes closed, his long eyelashes hanging down, like a small brush.

Qi Xia looked around and found that the seats were full, probably because of this, Chen Xifan sat with her.

It was an unexpected surprise.

Yanmeng Mountain is on the outskirts of the city, and it takes more than two hours to drive there. The classmates were sleeping, and the students were looking at their mobile phones, and it was very difficult for Qi Xia not to pay attention to Chen Xifan, and his eyes peeked at him from time to time.

His eyes were dark, and he probably hadn't slept well during this time. Thinking of what he had experienced during this time, Qi Xia's heart tightened.

Halfway through the drive, the sun was getting higher and higher, and the students closed the curtains one after another.

Unfortunately, the curtain of Qi Xia's seat is broken and cannot shade the sun. Qi Xia tried to fix it, but it still didn't work.

She looked at Chen Xifan and found that the boy had his eyes closed, maybe the light was too bright to affect his sleep, Chen Xifan frowned lightly and moved his body.

At that moment, Qi Xia couldn't take care of anything, she just wanted him to have a good rest.

So, Qi Xia raised his palm and adjusted the angle to help him block the sunlight from his eyes.

The light finally stopped dazzling, and the boy's furrowed brows stretched slightly, and he stopped moving.

Qi Xia smiled, took out his hat from his schoolbag, and helped him block the sun in a larger area.

Her arms were held up like this, and she didn't feel sore. I don't know how long it was, Qi Xia turned his head to look at Chen Xifan again, who knows, at this time Chen Xifan suddenly opened his eyes.

The two looked at each other and collided unexpectedly.

So close, she could see the clear light in Chen Xifan's eyes, and his own face reflected in his eyes.
