Xie Sui this dog has no idea what he missed because of his impulse. But he would like to follow Jibai's instructions. Before she calmed down, he met her in school, and they all took a detour.
Once Yin Xiaxia and Jibai went to the barbecue restaurant outside the school to eat skewers. They met Xie Sui. Yin Xia Xia originally thought it was another entanglement and was ready to "fight". Unexpectedly, this guy turned around and left. With the delay, when I left, I consciously went to the front desk to help her settle the bill.
Yin Xiaxia exclaimed: "Damn hey, he is so afraid of you, when did I ever see Xie Sui's counseling?"
Jibai looked at his back and curled his lips. He had a ghost in his heart.
Of course, except for the kiss and Xie Sui's failure to keep his promise, he did everything else.
At the end of the month, the old lady Ji called Jibai again: "Baibai, have your friends made an appointment? Grandma is just helping your sisters look at the dresses. Would you like to come and have a look, or bring your friends? "
Jibai's head buzzed, she almost forgot about it!
"Grandma, it doesn't matter, I can solve it by myself."
Jibai didn't dare to tell her grandma that she hadn't dated her male partner yet.
Time was tight, and Ji Bai did not delay. Early the next morning, she went to the door of Class 19 and called Xie out.
Jiang Zhongning smiled and said to Xie Sui: "What am I talking about, this girl, you can't get used to it. When you get used to her getting to the sky, you can just hang her for a few days, and you may come to you happily."
Xie Sui slapped the book on his face, got up and walked out of the classroom door.
"It's rare for someone to take the initiative to find me." He put his hand in the pocket of his large gray sweater and said cheerfully: "Miss me?"
Jibai curled his lips reluctantly and murmured, "Apologize to me."
"Sorry."
This apology, Xie Sui said simply and skillfully: "I was wrong, and I will never dare to do it again."
Although Jibai did not believe him, since she apologized, she forgave him ceremonially.
"From now on, you can't do that to me." She still looked at him sullenly and said in a low voice, "You can't do whatever you want. Now that you are together, you must listen to me."
Xie Sui nodded vigorously, and reviewed himself vigorously: "It's really nasty, I don't pretend to be serious in my mind, I want to kiss Xiaobai all day..."
Ji Bai eagerly grabbed the corner of his clothes: "Shut up!"
"Okay, I won't say it." Xie Sui obeyed her words, and had never been so behaved: "As long as you don't get angry with me, you can do whatever you want me to do."
"Then you do me a favor."
Xie Sui was immediately excited when he heard that the girl had something to ask him for help: "Let's talk about it, what bad thing you want to do."
He desperately had to help her.
"At the end of March, our family...that is, the Jishi Group has a very high-standard charity dinner. Grandma invited me to attend, but I still need a male companion."
After speaking, she looked at Xie Sui expectantly. Xie Sui was stunned for a while. After understanding what she meant, her expression revealed some incredible: "You...invite me?"
"It's nothing special. It's just showing up. Let's fill our stomachs and leave. There are many delicious foods. But if you don't like this kind of occasion, it doesn't matter. I can ask someone else."
Xie Sui's light-coffee-colored pupil fixedly looked at Ji Bai, seeing her a little embarrassed, and looked away with a guilty conscience.
"Xiao Bai, you...invite me?"
"Oh, it's no big deal." Jibai was really embarrassed, blushing, and stepped back: "I just think..."
Her dark deer eyes swept his face: "I just think you are handsome, you can be with me... can support me."
Yes, it is like that.
Xie Sui's smile couldn't stop at all. For the first time in his life, he felt so proud of his face.
"Do you think I'm handsome?"
"Oh, don't do that."
She is really embarrassed.
"Okay, I'll go." Xie Sui promised her without hesitation: "I will definitely dress up and give you enough."
Ji Bai nodded, turned around to leave, didn't want to look at his expression for a second, feeling so embarrassed and ashamed.
But after two steps, she suddenly remembered something: "Xie Sui, you will have to wear a suit and formal attire by then. If you don't have one, I can order one for you."
"I have. Don't worry about it. Who doesn't have a suit yet."
"That's OK."
That afternoon, Xie casually went to the men's suit store. There was a set of crisp men's suits in the window. It looked very energetic when worn on the model, but it was expensive.
Xie Sui looked at this suit, his eyes darkened.
In the past, he had never paid much attention to this kind of clothing and dressing. Even when he was alive, he didn't know what it was for. His gloomy life could not find any outlet.
But now, any thing he decides to do has been given another meaning.
He wants to be better for that girl, in order to get her smile, he is willing to pay any price, this is the meaning of his life.
In the lively underground boxing room, Xie Sui sat in the resting position, ready to play.
He is naked, with a blanket hanging on his body, and a pocket book with English words in his hand.
Cong Yuzhou frowned and looked at Xie as he concentrated on studying. He felt like he was crazy.
"Brother Sui, really decided to take the S big exam?"
"Ok."
"No, you... why don't we set a small goal first and try to take an undergraduate course?"
Xie Sui glanced at him disgustingly: "Not promising."
"You also said that I'm not promising. You count when you last attended a class. You are in high school for nothing. You still expect to be fat after one bite?"
Xie Sui put down the English vocabulary book, irritability and impatience in his eyes.
Indeed, he has fallen too much. At this level, he has to peel off his skin if he wants to take a bachelor's degree, let alone the S major, one of the top universities in China.
But he wanted to try to catch up with Ji Bai's pace, wanted to try to stand beside her.
Xie Sui continued to read books.
The VIP room on the third floor has a great view, through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can clearly see the situation of the entire boxing ring.
Standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, Li Chen stared blankly at the young man on the stage defeating a heavyweight challenger and winning the house!
The young man has a sharp outline, a tough offensive, one move to control the enemy without mercy.
Li Chen took a sip of coffee.
The manager noticed the big boss’s eyes tightly on Xie Sui. He introduced:
That’s the ace player in our boxing ring, called Xie Sui. He is still a high school student. Regardless of his young age, he is very good. Man is his opponent."
Li Chen asked lightly: "Is he short of money?"
"That kid, earning money is like a desperate thing. If you are short of money, he is a high school student, and the family is not sick or disaster. It stands to reason that earning so much is enough. I don't know why he is so desperate."
Li Chen smiled and said, "Who can't live with money anymore?"
The manager smiled flatteringly: "Yes, he, he is in the eyes of losing money."
Li Chen looked at the young man in the audience from a distance, with a hint of coldness in the corner of his eyes: "What's the point of always winning, go, and invite Qiao Ye from the next court to fight him."
The manager was stunned: "Mr. Li, I heard you right, did you mean that Joe Ye next door? They are not a kilogram class. You asked him to come and fight the high school student Xie Sui, isn't it good? This is terrible. Xie Sui won't agree!"
Li Chen glanced at him, "Didn't he want to make money? Give him more money until he agrees."
"But... but he and Qiao Ye don't match whether they are heavyweight or professional. This is not a joke. If you don't play well, Xie Sui's sign will be broken!"
Li Chen smiled and said: "How can you not take risks when doing business? The audience has watched him win enough. Think about it, how would you place a bet in a game with such a huge difference in strength?"
"I must buy Joe Ye to win!"
Li Chen snapped his fingers: "By the way, most people will buy to thank you and lose, but I prefer to buy him to win, a very profitable opportunity, do you think anyone is willing to take the risk?"
After careful consideration, the manager immediately understood what Li Chen meant. This kind of game with a huge difference in strength is precisely the game that attracts gamblers the most.
The manager’s eyes shone with excitement: "I see, I will make an appointment now!"
Li Chen stood by the French window, looking at Xie Sui from a distance.
Xie Sui's body exuded a calm and cold temperament, and there was an unconvinced force gathered between his eyebrows, which was a hard bone.
Li Chen actually didn't feel bad for him, he was just simply curious about whether this kind of hard bone could be bent.
After taking a break off the court, the manager explained his intentions and wanted to invite the professional boxer next door to come and practice with Xie Sui. It doesn't matter if you win or lose, you have money to get it. The original intention was to make the audience enjoy it.
Xie Sui did not speak yet, Cong Yuzhou directly refused for him: "No, absolutely not! Call someone from the professional team to fight, do you want Sui Ge to die!"
Xie Sui, who was holding a pocket book of English words, raised his leg and rubbed his foot: "There is no door on your mouth?"
Cong Yuzhou said solemnly: "Xie Sui, you can't agree, not to mention that our sign can't be smashed. With the strength of the professional team, you will have to give up half your life if you don't die!"
Xie Suiman asked casually: "What is the price for this game."
After thinking about it, he said: "Won, give ten thousand, lose six thousand."
Xie Sui was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, closed his English pocket book, and said: "I won fifty thousand, lost thirty thousand."
"Xie Sui, your lion speaks loudly."
Xie Sui glanced at the manager lightly: "I'm selling your life, it's worth some money at any rate, it's the price, just forget it."
Cong Yuzhou gripped Xie Sui's sleeve tightly: "Brother Sui, are you crazy? For this little money..."
The manager seemed to be afraid that Xie would go back, and immediately agreed: "Okay, that's all, come, come and greet a few people, clear the place, let's play a big wave."
After the host announced the rules of the next match between Xie Sui and the 85kg heavyweight boxer next door, the game instantly boiled. Those gamblers who are obsessed with boxing competed to place bets. Most of them bought Joe Ye, but there were also A few bold ones are optimistic about Xie Sui and want to bet on a big wave.
Li Chen's vision was correct. Because of the disparity in strength, the betting chips for the entire game were much larger than those in the past, and everyone's emotions were pushed to a climax.
Xie Sui was about to play, and Cong Yuzhou pulled him nervously: "Brother Sui, look at Qiao Ye. He and us are not heavyweights. Think about it. If this kind of underground black field hits his body If it is broken, there will be no compensation here."
"What's the matter with you tonight." Xie Sui frowned and looked at him: "I didn't break Lao Tzu even in the wheel fight, so I just stepped into the heavyweight class."
"Brother Sui, think about it again, okay."
Xie Sui said indifferently: "After this game, I have enough money to buy a suit."
Cong Yuzhou was stunned, and understood that Xie Sui wanted to earn a decent suit of money to accompany Jibai to a charity dinner.
"Brother Sui, do you want to fight like this..." Cong Yuzhou really felt distressed for him: "Just a set of clothes, ordinary ones are okay, Jibai won't care about you."
Xie Sui put the English book in Cong Yuzhou's pocket and patted it lightly: "No."
For a banquet of that kind, the status of the men and women attending the meeting will not be low, and their eyes are more venomous than snakes.
He wants to show his girl, not to lose face,
Cong Yuzhou still didn't want to thank him for coming to the stage, so he was very relieved.
"Okay, I won't necessarily lose." Xie Sui looked at Qiao Ye, whose muscles were a bit terrifying on the stage, "Just have more strength, and the reaction power may not be able to keep up."
During the first round, Xie Sui realized that Qiao Ye's reaction power and speed were weak, and his explosive power was very strong, but he couldn't fight a protracted battle, so Xie Sui worked hard with him for endurance.
The endurance was actually quite choking. Xie Sui sturdily ate Qiao Ye several punches. He was so dizzy that he could not find Bei, but he did not get down. In the end he was pressed by Qiao Ye and grabbed his head to death. Hit the ground.
The hearts of the audience were squeezed, a woman began to scream, and the referee desperately blew his whistle, trying to pull the red-eyed Joe Ye away.
The audience Cong Yuzhou crumbled and hugged his head, almost thinking that Xie Sui was about to explain here today.
Xie Sui knocked blood out of his mouth, and his whole body was beaten.
Cong Yuzhou shouted his name hoarsely, and he could no longer hear him.
50,000 yuan, he can buy that suit for only 50,000 yuan...
Xie Sui let out a low roar, and threw Qiao Ye out with his best left uppercut.
Qiao Ye fell to the ground dazedly, exhausted, Xie Sui's mouth was bloodshot, stood up swayingly, staggered to the front of Qiao Ye, held his last breath, and pressed it up.
After the referee counted to ten, Xie Sui let go of Qiao Ye, turned over and lay flat on the stage, panting, his fingers no longer have the strength to move again.
He could no longer hear the undulating shouts around him, his ears were all buzzing, and the dazzling light from the ceiling dazzled his eyes. He blinked slightly...
Won.
He finally... could stand beside her decently.
In those few days, Jibai saw Xie Sui much less frequently. He stopped playing basketball, and often would not guard her time when she came to school. He would deliberately go to the carport and squat with her. Sometimes, no one was seen for two or three days. .
There is no reason. I said that I saw her hiding and was just a joke. Xie Sui would not be serious.
Jibai was even wondering if Xie Sui was playing with her and wanted to make her feel uncomfortable.
This little boy...
That afternoon, Jibai rode his bicycle out of the school gate, and saw the upright figure of the little Po boy from a distance.
Wearing a gray sweater and carrying a shoulder bag, he walked on the parasol walkway, and the setting sun sprinkled mottled light and shadow on him through the shadow of the tree.
Just looking at the back can be so handsome that passers-by are fascinated by others, except for Xie Sui, there is no one else.
Jibai rode a bicycle up the Wutong Trail. When she passed by him, she slowed down, "jingling bell", she rang a clear bell—
"Child."
Xie Sui turned his head and said happily, "Who is the child called?"
"You, naive ghost."
She found that this guy was wearing a black mask, almost covering half of his face, only a pair of dark and narrow eyes were exposed, and the sparse bangs were slightly drooping, which looked a bit cold.
"I haven't seen you these days."
Xie Sui picked up his eyes: "Why, Xiao Bai missed me?"
"Who missed you, just remind you, next week's dinner, you promised me, don't forget."
"rest assured."
Jibai looked at his mask: "Are you looking handsome?"
Xie Suiwen said angrily: "I have a cold."
"Oh." Ji Bai nodded: "Big guy will catch a cold too."
"Why can't the boss catch a cold?"
Jibai pursed his lips and smiled: "You deserve it, who made you so bad."
Xie Sui was in a good mood, and rubbed her head with his hand.
Jibai tolerated his intimacy. I don't know why. Since the two kissed, Jibai's tolerance for him has really become much higher.
After rebirth, she has a countermeasure for the whole world, but she has no counterattack against the boy in front of her.
"Go back first." Xie Sui said, "Don't you still have to do your homework, don't delay."
"Okay, I'm leaving." Jibai stepped on the bike again and rode for about ten meters. Seeing a drugstore nearby, she pressed the brake.
She went to the pharmacy to buy a few packs of cold granules and handed them back to Xie Sui's hands: "Don't take it hard if you have a cold. Take some medicine to get better soon."
Xie Sui stared at the pill pack in his hand, opened his mouth slightly, but closed it again. He didn't know what to say, and his heart was a little sweet and astringent.
"Xiao Bai, I..."
Jibai's earlobes are red, and he pushes him uncomfortably: "You go back soon. You need to rest more if you have a cold. Go to bed and cover your head for a while, and tomorrow will be fine."
She blushed and didn't wait for him to answer. She got on her bike and left in a hurry.
Active care made her feel embarrassed, but she should adapt slowly and care about him more.
Xie Sui looked down at the cold medicine in his hand and stood there for a long time.
The gentle wind blew across his face in March, and he didn't know how to resolve the irritability in his heart.
He shouldn't lie to her, vowing that there will be no next time.
The next day, Ji Bai woke up early, made rock sugar Sydney pear soup with newly bought pears, and put it into a clean pink thermos cup.
Walking to the door of the 19th class, Jibai saw that Xie Sui hadn't come yet, so he beckoned to Jiang Zhongning.
Jiang Zhongning walked out of the classroom with a simple smile on his face: "Sister Bai."
"You can call me Xiaobai." Jibai took out the thermos from his bag and handed it to him: "Hey, isn't Xie Sui caught a cold? I made rock candy Sydney to moisturize my throat."
"Brother Sui caught a cold?" Jiang Zhongning rubbed the back of his head: "Why don't I know."
"Didn't he wear a mask, for fear of infecting you."
"Hi~ He has a cold." Jiang Zhongning was careless, with his hands on the edge of the window sill, and Barabara talked to Jibai--
"Aren't you going to invite him to a banquet? He wants to buy that suit of 50,000 yuan. We all said that there is no need for such an expensive one. This guy saves face, he has to listen."
"I had a fight with a cross-heavy professional player that night, and I was beaten up with a bruise and swollen face. The suit was bought, and his mother got hurt on his face. Xiaobai, tell me, isn’t it worth the loss? Why are you going to a banquet with you? Hey, Xiaobai, what's wrong with you..."
With a "bang", the water glass fell heavily on the ground.
Jiang Zhongning's babbled words were stuck in his throat. Seeing the girl's pale face, he suddenly realized that he seemed...to say something wrong.
The water cup rolled several times and fell to Xie Sui's feet not far away.
He was wearing a black coat and a mask, his dark eyes were as silent as stagnant water, and his whole temperament was sinking.
He picked up the water cup at his feet and swept towards Jiang Zhongning with a blade-like gaze.
Jiang Zhongning's heart shuddered: "Then...it's going to go to class, I'll go back to the classroom first, let's talk slowly."
Jibai gave him a fierce look, then turned and left.
Xie Sui's hand holding the thermos tightly tightened, and after a few seconds, he turned around and ran after him.
At the empty staircase, Xie Sui took Ji Bai's hand: "Xiao Bai..."
Jibai turned around suddenly and pulled off his mask with his backhand.
There is obvious bruise on the corners of his mouth, and there seems to be a small blood hole in the position of the nose... He has never been injured like this before, never!
Jibai's heart seemed to have been stabbed and stabbed by a knife, bloody, so uncomfortable that he could hardly breathe, and the hand holding the mask couldn't help trembling.
"You actually...you..."
"Xiao Bai, don't get excited."
Xie Sui really panicked, holding her slender wrist: "It's nothing, it's just a skin injury, it's like scratching, I don't feel it."
Jibai bit her lower lip, her lips were bitten white, she was angry at him for lying, angry at him for being stupid, and even more angry at why she is so stupid, inviting this idiot to a ghost party...
She would rather not go, she didn't want him to suffer a bit of damage.
She got up and left, fumbled for the phone while walking, and wanted to tell her grandma that she would not go anymore, she would not attend the banquet.
Xie Sui looked at her back, feeling that every time he breathed, his internal organs were tearing and painful.
"Xiaobai, that suit...I am really handsome in dress. I will show it to you tomorrow, okay."
In the empty corridor, the white footsteps suddenly stopped, she held the stair railing and looked back at him angrily.
Sunlight came in through the skylight, trapping his lonely and lonely figure.
Jibai took a deep breath and went upstairs again with a "chuchu", and walked in front of Xie Sui.
After all, I still can't bear it.
Xie Sui pulled her sleeves flatteringly: "Don't be angry with me..."
Jibai walked up to the stairs above him, looked at him, stretched out his hand to touch the bruise on the corner of his mouth, touched the bridge of his nose, raised his chin, looked left and right, and checked for other wounds. .
Xie Sui felt the girl's soft fingertips walking on his face, very light, very cold, touching his skin, and tingling currents in his heart.
He closed his eyes, his long eyelashes dropped, enjoying her intimate touch for a moment.
She cursed in a low voice: "Stupid..."
He raised his dark eyes and looked at her anxiously.
Jibai wanted to be angry, but at this time, she felt more regretful and distressed. She sullenly said: "I knew I would not invite you."
"You don't want to regret it now!" Xie Sui heard that, excited: "I bought all my clothes."
Jibai gave him an angry glance, then turned around and said, "Come with me to the infirmary for an examination."
"No, it's okay."
"You can't listen to me."
Xie Sui was stunned, and suddenly realized that the girl seemed to forgive him again without principle. He was shocked, followed in three or two steps, and said happily--
"Listen, I listen to what Xiaobai said."
