Chapter 15: 【fifteen】

At five thirty in the afternoon, Su Qiuge left school to the Gangwan Milk Tea Shop. There are only two small tables in the harbor, but every time you arrive, you can see the one specially reserved for her by Aunt Liu.
Pure music is playing in the store, which makes you feel comfortable.
Su Qiuge drank milk tea while reading papers and workbooks, and quickly finished a subject.
Then she took out the black notebook Xie Xinglin gave her before and began to study the topic of the math competition class.
For some reason, she felt that Aunt Liu saw her a bit frequently today. But she didn't ask, until the guests at another table in the store left, Aunt Liu sat next to Su Qiuge.
"Xiao Su, my nephew will come early today, you two may meet."
Ha... nephew?
Su Qiuge suddenly remembered the conversation with her some time ago.
"I have a nephew who is about your age and is in high school."
"His personality is too boring, introverted and inferior, and he has no friends. If he can be as cheerful as you, I will be relieved."
Then I remembered how I made my promises--
"My grades are pretty good. If he is at the same level as me or one level lower than me, I can still discuss with him about studying. Don't say help him too much, at least he will be rewarded."
When I said this, I didn't think so much. Now I suddenly heard that the chief executive came, and I was still so nervous.
But she was still very calm on the surface: "Oh, that's pretty good."
Not long after they talked, Su Qiuge was still thinking about how this nephew Aunt Liu is a poor little friend who is introverted and inferior.
How should you pay attention to your speech later so as not to scare others.
After a while, the store door was pushed open from outside.
At this time, the setting sun had just fallen, and the golden sunlight poured in like water along the opened store door.
Su Qiuge raised his head subconsciously.
The people who came were facing the light, slender, with sharp eyebrows, and looked a little casual when they raised their eyes.
But after she looked at each other, the boy gave a slight pause when he pushed the door.
This face Su Qiuge had seen countless times in school, but this time was the most embarrassing time.
She heard Aunt Liu smile at the boy who opened the door and said: "Xinglin, come here quickly and say hello to them."
Su Qiuge: "..."
What's the feeling of seeing the enemy while on a blind date?
She could perceive that the boy's gaze kept falling on her after entering the door, the kind of direct hook.
Since the last time she happened to know some of the secrets of his family, and her relationship with him was not good enough to know all of them, even to prevent him from thinking too much, she began to avoid Xie Xinglin intentionally or unintentionally.
The two basically didn't speak much.
Xie Xinglin approached and hung his schoolbag on the chair, feeling unpredictable: "Is it you?"
Su Qiuge pretended to be calm: "I didn't expect it to be so coincidental."
At this time, it is a narrow road meeting, and the brave wins.
What everyone didn't expect, whoever panics first loses.
Now Aunt Liu was the one who was shocked. She looked around the two of them: "You know?"
Xie Xinglin didn't answer, Su Qiuge spoke up.
"He is my deskmate."
The character is the strangest, and there will never be someone at the same table who is more difficult to get along with than him.
Aunt Liu: "..."
Speaking of this, Su Qiuge is still a little unacceptable. If Aunt Liu is Xie Xinglin's aunt, this surname...
Aunt Liu seemed to see Su Qiuge's doubts and smiled and said, "I follow my mother's surname, and Xinglin's father follows his father's surname."
Su Qiuge was clear and nodded.
But when Xie Xinglin's father was mentioned, the atmosphere in the store obviously changed. Su Qiuge noticed that Xie Xinglin's face was slightly dark.
Su Qiuge suddenly remembered what the woman who came to the school to find Xie Xinglin said in his mind.
Your dad is dead.
At this time, a new customer came to the store, and Aunt Liu stood up: "Xinglin, please entertain your classmates, I'll go ahead."
After Aunt Liu left, the atmosphere between the two became even more embarrassing.
Xie Xinglin looked down at Su Qiuge. He seemed to have thought of something interesting, and teased quietly: "You have a good grade. Can you help me in my studies and make me gain?"
Su Qiuge: "..."
When she thought of the words she vowed to Aunt Liu, she wanted to choke the naive herself before.
Su Qiuge slapped the table, and also questioned from the depths of his soul: "You are introverted and have low self-esteem, don't have any friends??"
I believe in your evil! !
Does this mean Xie Xinglin? ?
Is the reason Xie Xinglin has no friends because of introverted low self-esteem? ?
After saying this, Su Qiuge bit on the straw of the milk tea with a cheated look on his face.
Xie Xinglin looked down at her for a while, then pulled the chair away and sat beside her.
Su Qiuge saw him sitting next to him, drinking milk tea for a while, then choked and started to bend over and cough.
She turned her head to look at him, but he was calm and calm: "Aren't you going to help me study? Where do I start?"
Su Qiuge took a deep breath: "I didn't, not what I said."
Xie Xinglin turned his eyes to look at her.
It may be because of the milk tea. Her lips are moist and attractive.
His eyes stayed on her lips for a moment, then he moved away without a trace, without speaking.
The atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point.
Su Qiuge was thinking about how to get away, and as soon as she looked up, she met Aunt Liu's gaze on the other side.
The other party blinked at her and seemed to care about the situation here.
Su Qiuge took a deep breath, turned his head and said to Xie Xinglin: "I really didn't expect it to be you, I... I didn't plot against you, all this is a coincidence."
She hasn't easily insisted that she can have a normal conversation with the male lead. She should give up the idea of ​​revenge against her. Now she can't make him think more.
Xie Xinglin turned his pen and raised his eyebrows slightly: "I said you are plotting against me?"
After a while, he loosened the zipper of his jacket at will, revealing a looming collarbone, staring at her with pitch-black eyes, and slowly saying: "Besides, do you know what the term "conspiracy" means?
Su Qiuge paused: "No."
"But, isn't I afraid of your misunderstanding? I'll just clarify, I'm not here to cheat, I just..."
Su Qiuge pursed his lips: "I just want to give play to my good qualities of helping others."
Xie Xinglin didn't talk, he glanced at the black notebook on Su Qiuge's desk, and asked in a soft voice, "Is there any?"
Su Qiuge was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"
Xie Xinglin turned his head and raised his eyelids slightly: "If you don't understand the questions and knowledge points above, tell me now."
Su Qiuge realized that he was reading the math competition notebook he gave.
She didn't expect that at first she would be able to help others learn, but now it was her turn to help her learn.
This... what a sad face.
But face belongs to face, and learning belongs to learning.
Su Qiuge's attitude towards learning is rather correct.
After she reacted, she immediately opened the notebook and pointed out a few questions: "This, this, and this..."
Xie Xinglin scanned the general topic: "Isn't these few?"
Su Qiuge said bluntly: "No, except for these, nothing else."
Xie Xinglin raised his eyebrows and gave her an unclear look.
Su Qiuge smiled awkwardly: "I really won't be here..."
Although she is good at math projects, she can catch up quickly even if she forgets some high school knowledge after the college entrance examination, but the topics of the competition are difficult after all. The teaching in the second experiment is much more difficult than her previous school, and she has not done it before. Relevant competition courses, so many of the questions above will not be able to.
But Su Qiuge felt that because the topic above was a bit too difficult, she wondered if it was Xie Xinglin's wrong book.
After Su Qiuge finished speaking, she looked at Xie Xinglin's expressionless face. She once thought that Xie Xinglin was going to turn her face and deny people, and even took her collar and threw her outside.
But Xie Xinglin just turned the book to the first page and started with the first question.
The lights in the store are warm yellow and the music is gentle.
The eyelids of the boys around him droop, so that he lacks the sharpness when he raises his eyes, and hides the coldness in his eyes. The eyebrows are clear and beautiful, and the lines of his side face are softened by the light, and he looks very gentle.
His voice is a little low, but his voice has a youthful feeling.
Su Qiuge listened very carefully, and nodded in agreement while taking notes.
After all, Xie Xinglin, who seldom talks to her, actually took the initiative to talk to her today. This was originally a very shocking thing. Su Qiuge temporarily believes that this is because his aunt is here, and he has to show a good sense of harmony. Beautiful picture.
After turning half of the notebook, Su Qiuge realized that more than an hour had passed. She checked the phone and whispered to Xie Xinglin, "I might have to go back."
Xie Xinglin glanced at the clock in the store.
Su Qiuge packed his schoolbags and said to Aunt Liu, who was busy, "Sister Liu, it's late, I'm leaving now."
Aunt Liu stopped her movements and said to Xinglin Xie, "Xinglin, give it to me."
Su Qiuge blinked his eyes and looked at Xie Xinglin, and saw that he actually picked up his jacket and got up, and hurriedly waved his hand: "No, I'll take a taxi and go back soon, no need to send it."
"Goodbye Sister Liu, goodbye classmate Xie!"
After she finished speaking, she was afraid that Xie Xinglin would follow, opened the door and left a word, and quickly slipped away.
Liu Yuan looked at the girl's hurried back and couldn't help but smile.
Xie Xinglin looked down at the notebook on the table, and what Liu Yuan had said to him these days echoed in his ears.
"That girl is very nice. She often helps me when she comes to the store. Sometimes I get confused and don't know the label or the background material. It's a lot easier to have someone help me."
"The personality is also pleasing, and I can talk to a lot of people like me."
"Xinglin, if you meet her, you will also like her."
Xie Xinglin was still thinking about something here, when the phone rang suddenly. There is a message in WeChat.
Liu Yuan shared a business card with him.
A pink head, named brother's little padded jacket.
Before Xie Xinglin spoke, Liu Yuan explained: "This is her WeChat, have you added it?"
Xie Xinglin said nothing.
Liu Yuan knew that this was gone.
"Xinglin, is it okay to have multiple friends in the class? I listen to what other people mean, and I want to be friends with her at the same table. You shouldn't always keep others' goodwill away."
"You always do that, I really don't worry."
Xie Xinglin's Adam's apple rolled slightly up and down along the neckline, as if he wanted to say something. But for Liu Yuan's expectant eyes, he was silent for a while.
After a long time, he said: "Good."
