Chapter 20
This time Xu Qingqiao was not comforted, Yan Xiaomu healed on his own when he walked out of the teaching building, his tears stopped flowing, he put his little hand on the handlebar of Xu Qingqiao's bicycle, and obediently followed him.
Turning his head and seeing Xu Qingqiao's chin scratched under the street lamp, Yan Xiaomu blamed himself so much that he asked Xu Qingqiao if it hurt, and when he said it didn't hurt, he still felt sorry and asked Xu Qingqiao to go home with him and apply medicine, his eyes became a little sore again , pouted and said, "I'm sorry..."
Not as big as a fingernail injury, Xu Qingqiao is not so delicate, "Your friends are very concerned about you."
Yan Xiaomu lowered his head: "I...we didn't do that, they misunderstood you when they thought we were like that...don't worry, I, I've already explained... "
Xu Qingqiao didn't tease him with this matter, but Yan Xiaomu didn't care about the embarrassment, and murmured to himself: "We are still children..."
Yan Xiaomu was the only one who was still a child, and the group of people around him would all be adults after the new year.
Xu Qingqiao said, "Well, I'm not in a hurry."
Yan Xiaomu didn't realize these words until he walked back to the store, turned around and looked at the back of Xu Qingqiao riding away on the bicycle, and immediately ran upstairs with his face covered, without even hearing Lin Xiangyu calling him.
In the first two days of the winter vacation, another waiter in the store asked for leave to go back to his hometown. Yan Xiaomu helped Lin Xiangyu carry the dishes for the two days. The third day of the winter vacation was the parent meeting. The students went with their parents. Yes, Yan Xiaomu was nervous for a long time, thinking that he would finally meet Xu Qingqiao's legendary underworld father, but until the end of the parents' meeting, neither Xu Qingqiao nor his parents showed up.
Yan Xiaomu's final exam this time has improved a few places compared to the midterm exam, and he has squeezed into the top 40 of the class, leaving the bottom dozens of teams, and was praised by Lao Huang emphatically.Lin Xiangyu was so happy that the corners of her mouth didn't come down. When she got home, she kept saying that she must invite Xu Qingqiao to have a good meal at home to thank him for his help to Yan Xiaomu.
Xu Qingqiao was still No.1, but she had been staying in the studio during the final exam, and she had few books to memorize. She was caught up by No.2 Tang Li in no time, and the difference between the two narrowed from [-] points to [-] points.
After the parent meeting was over, Yan Xiaomu called Xu Qingqiao on the landline in the store, saying that his mother would invite him to dinner at home.
Just talking on the phone, I was already too shy, and moved my mother out again.
Xu Qingqiao asked when, Yan Xiaomu ran to ask Lin Xiangyu when he would invite Xu Qingqiao over for dinner, Lin Xiangyu said that he could do it whenever he was free, Yan Xiaomu ran back to the phone to make an appointment with Xu Qingqiao, and heard Xu Qingqiao ask him when he was in the restaurant There weren't that many customers. He thought for a while and said that because it was near the school, there would be fewer customers in the store during winter and summer vacations or holidays. Xu Qingqiao said he would come over this weekend.
With a few days left before the weekend, Wang Meimei, Chen Xue and Zhang Ming came to find Yan Xiaomu first, and straight to the point they said they would invite Xu Qingqiao out for a drink and shake hands.
After the big oolong last time, Zhang Ming, Wang Meimei and others discussed in the small group to find Xu Qingqiao together. Yan Xiaomu was also in the group, but because he hadn't logged in very often, there were only two small stars per level. Xing Xing's QQ account was repeatedly hacked three or five times, and it was no different from a zombie account, so a few people came to the noodle shop to find him after they decided on a time in the group.
"I haven't seen him in the past two days." Yan Xiaomu straightened his waist, his cheeks were slightly flushed, "But my mother invited him over for dinner this weekend..."
Zhang Ming supported Yan Xiaomu and walked towards the door, "You are not mean, brother, I just punched Xu Qingqiao for you, and you two turned around and even met your parents. How do you behave?"
"Why don't we come over this weekend?" Chen Xue hurriedly tried to smooth things over.
"Don't." Wang Meimei rubbed the chicken skin on her arm, "I almost beat a mandarin duck with my front foot, but I don't want my back foot to spoil other young couples meeting their parents."
"It's not to meet the parents..." Yan Xiaomu puffed up and said in a low voice, "Mom doesn't know yet."
"Indeed, your mother will be able to digest this matter, so don't proceed step by step." Zhang Ming raised his hand and shook Yan Xiaomu's mind.
Yan Xiaomu's eyes were red from being bounced, and he glared at Zhang Ming angrily. Lin Xiangyu just came out of the back kitchen and brought them a fruit plate.
After Yan Xiaomu ate two strawberries, he ran to call Xu Qingqiao, "Hello~"
As soon as he said "Hello", several people around him imitated his tone, "Hello" and "Hello" in a more delicate voice than his, it was too bad.
Being surrounded and bullied like this, Yan Xiaomu was so entangled in the phone line that he couldn't speak for a long time.
"What's the matter, Xiaomu?" Xu Qingqiao's voice came clearly from the other end of the phone, and those who were close to the microphone could hear it clearly.
Yan Xiaomu's face flushed red when he saw Zhang Ming imitating Xu Qingqiao's "Xiaomu" with aeroacoustics, and Chen Xue stopped Zhang Ming from imitating in depth in time.
Yan Xiaomu didn't answer for a while, but Xu Qingqiao's voice came again, "I'm in the studio, do I want to pick you up?"
The tone could be called indulgent, and none of the people around Yan Xiaomu had ever heard Xu Qingqiao speak in such a gentle voice, so they all fell silent and looked at each other.
Fortunately, Yan Xiaomu still remembered his mission of calling this time, so he mustered up the courage to say, "Zhang Ming, Wang Meimei and the others want to buy you something to drink, do you have time?"
The other end of the phone was quiet for a few seconds, and everyone held their breath until they heard Xu Qingqiao's voice again, "Yes, I have time."
A quick fix, about three o'clock in the afternoon.
Everyone dispersed, went to lunch separately, and reunited at the noodle shop at three o'clock in the afternoon.
Xu Qingqiao was the first to arrive, and came here at two o'clock. Yan Xiaomu was still upstairs reciting his history. When he heard the knock on the door, he turned around and saw Xu Qingqiao pushing the door in. "Your mother said you were upstairs, afraid you were taking a nap I didn’t call you, let me come up directly.”
Yan Xiaomu smiled shyly at him, gave him his chair, and sat on the edge of the bed next to him with his book in his arms. Xu Qingqiao sat on the edge of the bed with him instead of a chair.
"Your parents didn't go to the parent-teacher meeting... Did Teacher Huang say anything?" Yan Xiaomu still cared about the parent-teacher meeting, so he asked it face to face.
"It's okay, Lao Huang knows about my family's situation." Xu Qingqiao answered him, "Don't worry, I have asked for leave in advance."
Yan Xiaomu had heard about the situation of Xu Qingqiao's family. Last time he heard a few words, he didn't recover from it for several days, and he didn't dare to ask Xu Qingqiao directly. Muttering: "You live alone, no one takes care of you..."
Xu Qingqiao didn't speak, but just pinched Yan Xiaomu's face, Yan Xiaomu moved his face closer, and then Xu Qingqiao intentionally kissed him on the cheek.
Yan Xiaomu wanted to kiss Xu Qingqiao, but suddenly remembered what he had been misunderstood a few days ago, and blushed so much that he put his arms on the bed and dared not look at Xu Qingqiao anymore.
Xu Qingqiao turned his chin, bowed her head and kissed him, hooking his tongue and kissing him lingeringly.
After the kiss, Yan Xiaomu hugged his waist and spoke in a low voice like a mosquito.
"I didn't hear it." Xu Qingqiao said, "Say it again."
"Boys with boys...is that okay too?"
Yan Xiaomu's ears were all red, and he withdrew his hand holding Xu Qingqiao, lowered his head and twisted his fingers while avoiding his eyes.
Now that I think of asking, the response is really slow.
Xu Qingqiao kept a little distance from him, reached out to rub his earlobe, and said in a low voice, "You can do whatever you want."
Yan Xiaomu was so shy that he lay down on the bed, his face was buried in the quilt, and his waist was twisted like a twist.
Xu Qingqiao picked him up from the bed, pressed his arms to fix him, and said patiently: "You don't need to think about this matter. What you have to do now is to eat well and grow your body."
"I ate it." Yan Xiaomu's body was limp, and his voice was limp, "Then we will...and..."
Xu Qingqiao said, "Yes."
Yan Xiaomu took the initiative to discuss this topic with others, and after the discussion, he threw himself into the person's arms and called him a hooligan.
At three o'clock, Zhang Ming, Wang Meimei, and Chen Xue came over. Zhang Ming, as the hands-on party, was the first to apologize to Xu Qingqiao generously. Wang Meimei also apologized for her outspoken and impulsive actions that day. Opened a new milk tea shop, the owner is her relative, buy one get one free of milk tea, you can also play cards in the shop.
Yan Xiaomu doesn't know how to play cards, and his reaction is too slow to learn. These three people took him out once and never took him out again. Yan Xiaomu himself didn't feel stupid, but these three people knew that without Xu Qingqiao, They definitely wouldn't bring Yan Xiaomu to play cards.
Xu Qingqiao glanced at Yan Xiaomu, and then said yes, Yan Xiaomu will be the first to smile, and run upstairs to get pocket money, happy to go to play cards with them.
Yan Xiaomu thought to himself, they haven't played cards together for a long time, because Xu Qingqiao got together again today, it seems that Xu Qingqiao is really important to them!
He didn't know how many times these three people went out to play cards behind his back, but they didn't tell him.
Zhang Ming and the others rode bicycles, Xu Qingqiao rode the electric car Yan Xiaomu, and they went to the newly opened milk tea shop that Chen Xue mentioned.
When they arrived at the milk tea shop, Yan Xiaomu ordered pearl milk tea for himself with an extra pearl. Zhang Ming gave him an extra cup that Zhang Ming said he wanted. Xu Qingqiao ordered a glass of lemon soda. Since no one drank the same as him, the boss gave him that. There was a [-]% discount on the cup, and Yan Xiaomu silently recorded Xu Qingqiao's unique preferences in his heart, but couldn't remember saying "soda water" and "soda water" on his lips.
Five people occupied two long sofas on the second floor of the milk tea shop. Zhang Ming, Wang Meimei, and Chen Xue squeezed into one, and Xu Qing, Qiao Yan, and Xiaomu sat on the opposite sofa across a table.
Xu Qingqiao didn't talk much, but Zhang Ming and Wang Meimei started chatting with Yan Xiaomu on the topic of Yan Xiaomu because of their familiarity.
At first Zhang Ming said that Xu Qingqiao was very good, and he was the first in the class every time. Xu Qingqiao didn't respond. When Wang Meimei said that Yan Xiaomu had made great progress this time and was praised by Lao Huang in public, Xu Qingqiao said yes, and there was already something in her eyes. After a little reaction, Zhang Ming learned the tricks and started chatting with Yan Xiaomu.
Zhang Ming said that he was so stupid, he should have seen Yan Xiaomu's feelings for Xu Qingqiao long ago, "This guy in the physical education class insists on watching you play basketball! Every time he praises you in front of me..."
Xu Qingqiao: "Really?"
Wang Meimei snorted and said, "Tch, I've noticed it a long time ago. If you ask me, the little secret between you guys really can't be hidden from a sharp-eyed guy like me."
Chen Xue: "For example, for example!"
Wang Meimei wanted to say something more, but when she saw Yan Xiaomu's face blushing by the corner of her clothes, she changed the subject and said, "Stop talking, let's play cards!"
In the cards, Yan Xiaomu can only play the simplest "train driving" and "touching the turtle", and he can't learn anything else. There were five people present, but Zhang Ming said that the four of them just played "compete for the top", so he couldn't help but start to deal the cards, Yan Xiaomu Only then did I realize that I didn't have my own share, so I sat on the sofa with my milk tea in my arms and stared blankly.
Xu Qingqiao glanced at Zhang Ming's split cards, pushed out his own share, said that it was just right for three people to play Doudizhu, then went downstairs to find the boss to get a new set of cards, and came back to play "drive the train" with Yan Xiaomu ".
The table here was too small, so Xu Qingqiao greeted them and took Yan Xiaomu to the next table to play.
Seeing Yan Xiaomu and Xu Qingqiao play "drive the train" with frowning eyebrows, Zhang Ming scratched his head wondering: "Is it so fun to catch a dragon on a playing card?"
Wang Meimei and Chen Xue tried their best to wink at each other, and they glanced at Xu Qingqiao and Yan Xiaomu from time to time, their aunt's smiles were all on their faces, and they didn't forget to whisper gossip.
Chen Xue: "It's a real boyfriend."
Wang Meimei: "Isn't it? How spoiled is this?"
Chen Xue: "Yan Xiaomu laughed so hard that his apple muscles were about to fall off."
Wang Meimei: "Only Xu Qingqiao can play cards with him, why don't we bring them over?"
Zhang Ming on the side: "Don't, don't, I apologize, so don't disturb their relationship."
Yan Xiaomu was holding the cards with one small hand, while fiddling with the cards on the table with the other, shaking his head and almost humming a little tune.
Xu Qingqiao asked him if he usually came out to play cards with Zhang Ming and the others. Yan Xiaomu said he wanted to play, but Zhang Ming and the others hadn't played for a long time, so no one played with him.
Xu Qingqiao knew at a glance that Zhang Ming's group often came out to play cards together, but they didn't call Yan Xiaomu.
"It's your turn to play!" Yan Xiaomu raised his head to remind him.
Xu Qingqiao didn't move, Yan Xiaomu reached out with one hand and touched a card in his hand and put it on the table solitaire.
This game is indeed so simple that one can play it alone without using one's brain or even an opponent. No wonder no one wants to play with him.
This kind of solitaire game used to enlighten kindergarten children is only Yan Xiaomu can enjoy it.
Xu Qingqiao hardly touched the cards, ordered three snack platters, two were sent to Zhang Ming's table, and one was given to Yan Xiaomu alone, and he just wiped his mouth and hands with paper during the whole process.
Xu Qingqiao didn't play a lot of cards, but he still won in the end, because although Yan Xiaomu played a two-person game by himself, the one in Xu Qingqiao's hand won. "It's a pity, I almost won."
He was still eating a hash brown as he said this, chewing until his cheeks bulged.
Although he is so stupid, he has a good personality and a pleasing face, which is really hard to dislike.
Zhang Ming and the others had no sense of time when they played cards. When it was time for dinner, Xu Qingqiao wanted to send Yan Xiaomu home for dinner, and the two parties separated.
It was sunny during the day, and the temperature was lower at night. After walking out of the milk tea shop, the sun was gone. Yan Xiaomu finally felt cold. He picked up the sweater hat and put it on his head, and pulled the two elastic bands on the side to the tightest. His face was hidden in the sweater hat.
Xu Qingqiao turned his head and looked, and saw that Yan Xiaomu's whole hairy head was hidden by him, only his eyes were exposed, and the fleece sweater couldn't keep out the wet and cold in the south. trembling.
Regardless of the crowd, Yan Xiaomu hugged Xu Qingqiao's waist as soon as he got in the car, rubbed his face against his back to keep warm, and exhaled contentedly.
Xu Qingqiao slowed down, and drove along the lakeside across the entire south of the city. The street lights gradually lit up along the way, and when the lights were turned on, the road ahead became even brighter.
Xu Qingqiao lowered his hand to touch Yan Xiaomu's hand that was wrapped around his waist, and Yan Xiaomu turned his palm towards him, transferring the warmth from his warm little hand to his cold fingertips.
He always knew that he and Yan Xiaomu were not in the same world, and there would not be too many topics to talk about when they were together, so he never considered things that were too far away.
Like now, if you get a temperature, you should enjoy the warmth first. When two people are destined, they hold hands, and don't have to think about whether the hands will part one day.
