Chapter 30
Yu Qiao's lunch was settled at Li Yan's house.
His family's dishes are really rich, with a dazzling array of four dishes and one soup.When it was served on the table, Yu Qiao's stomach couldn't help but growl.
Xie Bufei seemed to have heard it, and chuckled lightly.Yu Qiao suddenly felt a little embarrassed, lowered her head, and touched the tip of her nose embarrassingly.
Li Yan, who was sitting opposite them, was ashen-faced, dejected, and his ears were red - he was pinched by Xie Bufei just now.
Since Xie Bufei came over, he was like an eggplant beaten by frost, completely lost his previous domineering posture.
Cheng Yeli brought the last dish to the table and greeted: "Eat it all, what are you doing in a daze?"
Yu Qiao picked up the chopsticks and lowered her head to eat. After a while, a piece of crispy meat appeared in her bowl.
Yu Qiao raised her head, saw Xie Bufei blinking, and smiled at herself: "Aren't you hungry, eat more."
A warm current surged in Yu Qiao's heart, and her eyes were clear: "Thank you, senior."
In the next second, a piece of braised pork fell into her bowl.
In the next second, a piece of scrambled egg with tomato fell into her bowl again.
……
Yu Qiao looked at the hills gradually piled up in her bowl, and quickly waved her hands: "Senior sister, don't give me any more, there are too many."
Seeing this, Cheng Yeli was speechless: "You might as well pour the whole dish into her bowl."
"That's not good."
Xie Bufei held the handle of the spoon, raised her little finger and gracefully took a sip of the soup, "At least I have to leave a little bit for you to eat."
Cheng Yeli: "..." So we only deserve a little bit? !
Yu Qiao lowered her head and silently digested the mountain of vegetables. Hearing that her cheeks were hot, her hand holding the chopsticks trembled, and she immediately added a piece of crispy meat to Xie Bufei's bowl.
"Senior sister also eat more."
Xie Bufei smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Li Yan mechanically chewed the rice beside him.The lonely Cheng Yeli rolled his eyes directly, it's so annoying, he doesn't want to have dinner with these two people next time.
After eating and drinking enough, Yu Qiao will continue to teach Li Yan to do math homework.
"I don't want to do my homework, I feel powerless." The boy slumped on the back of the chair, his eyes blank.
Yu Qiao said, "I saw you ate two bowls of rice just now."
Li Yan paused for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "You and Xie Bufei are actually on the same team, right?"
"She sent you to spy on me, didn't she?"
Yu Qiao looked at him and nodded happily: "Yes. If you don't write it, I will report it to her."
"It's terrifying, how can you two be so vicious..."
Li Yan was in so much pain that he finished the remaining half of the math paper in despair.
Yu Qiao lowered her head and took the pencil to check for him: "I'll help you circle all the mistakes."
Li Yan was waiting at the side, couldn't help being a little concerned, and sneaked a glance.
Good guy, there are almost circles on the whole paper!
His expression suddenly turned white: "You, you must not tell Xie Feifei!"
Yu Qiao didn't refuse this time: "Okay. If you listen carefully to my lecture, I don't have to tell her."
Li Yan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes sparkled, as if looking at his savior: "Thank you."
Yu Qiao looked at him looking like the rest of his life, and wanted to laugh a little: "Are you so afraid of her?"
"Didn't you just see how scary she was?" Li Yan looked around, and after confirming that she was not there this time, he sighed boldly, "She is really scary, do you understand the shadow of childhood? I even felt , Xie Bufei knows magic. Because every time I speak ill of her, she will appear behind me."
Yu Qiao: "..." That might be your bad luck.
She explained the problems to Li Yan for a while, the boy is actually not stupid, but he can't sit still, tends to be distracted, his thinking is wild, and he is strung together into various games in the next second.
"I've seen this formula in Portal!"
"Probability? It feels like when I draw cards, it is an inevitable event to get SSR with a guarantee."
"Actually, writing questions is similar to playing games..." Yu Qiao couldn't understand what he was talking about, and decided to teach students according to their aptitude, "It's all about overcoming difficulties."
Li Yan pursed his lips and muttered: "Then...then I'd rather play games."
Yu Qiao turned on the phone and glanced at the time, an hour had passed.She put away the red pen and said softly, "I can play games with you for a while."
"Really?" Li Yan immediately became interested, "Then what do you want to play?"
Yu Qiao hadn't actually played any games before, so she said flatly, "Whatever you want."
Li Yan put down his pen, rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find two game controllers, and thought triumphantly: You look like a nerd, let's see how I can abuse you!
They played a random fighting game.In the first fight, Yu Qiao really lost, Li Yan laughed out loud, feeling like he was torturing.
In the second round, Yu Qiao still lost.
Li Yan pretended to be disappointed and sighed from the side: "Forget it, you don't seem to know how to play at all. Playing with you is not challenging at all."
Yu Qiao fiddled with the operation buttons of the handle, feeling that she had almost mastered it.She was also a little bit unwilling to admit defeat, so she said calmly: "Come again."
After ten blows in a row, she was slightly able to knock out a blood from the opponent with a combo.
Twenty hands later, Li Yan couldn't laugh anymore when he was knocked down by the opponent again.
Now he couldn't even touch the corner of the opponent's clothes, and was directly killed by a set of control combos.
"You were playing me just now, right?" Li Yan opened his eyes wide and said angrily, "I don't agree! Come again!"
Yu Qiao looked at the time and said, "Three and ten minutes have passed, let's continue with homework."
Li Yan sighed in disappointment, but he still couldn't finish it.
Yu Qiao said, "If you finish writing earlier, I can play with you for a while."
Li Yan: "It's a deal!"
It took a total of three hours, and she tutored all of Li Yan's English and math homework.
Yu Qiao walked out of the room with a water glass in her hand, and saw Xie Bufei lying on the sofa in the living room playing with her mobile phone, her two long legs crossed up and down, her white and round toes dangling in the air.
"ended?"
Hearing the familiar footsteps, Xie Bufei immediately put aside the phone and looked at her.
Yu Qiao sat down beside her, leaned on the sofa with her head up, her eyes were empty: "It's over."
Staring at the computer screen for too long, my eyes are a little sore.Yu Qiao took off her glasses and stretched out her hands to press her temples.
The sweet and fragrant fragrance of flowers lingered at the tip of her nose, and the girl beside her got up and approached her, her slender and warm fingers pressed against her shoulders.Find the sore spot with your fingertips, and massage in a soothing rhythm.
"Thanks for your hard work." Xie Bufei pinched her neck and said in a gentle voice, "Isn't the brat particularly hard to carry?"
"Actually, it's okay." The massage was too gentle, and Yu Qiao couldn't help closing her eyes and rolling her throat, "He's just more rebellious."
Xie Bufei smiled softly, her breath passed over her ears, burning hot: "It's hard for you, take a rest."
She looked down at Yu Qiao, the girl had handsome features, her eyelashes curled up when she closed her eyes, her lips were very light in color and beautifully shaped, a shape that was very suitable for kissing.
"Quietly, your eyelashes are so long."
Feeling exhausted like a tidal wave, Yu Qiao responded with a deep voice, almost drowsy.
But she didn't realize that Xie Bufei was sitting on her lap, holding her neck with one hand, the two of them were very close, their postures were extremely lingering.
The breath of forest vegetation is as hazy as clouds and mist, and the fragrance of flowers pervades its surroundings silently, like a hunter's gradually tightening net.The pheromones are entangled, almost ambiguous.
Xie Bufei's expression became gloomy, and her white and thin fingertips seemed to be stroking Yu Qiao's lips.
Yu Qiao frowned slightly, and the tip of her nose twitched, as if disturbed in her sleep.
Xie Bufei's eyes fell on her lips, and she murmured silently: "I really like it."
I really want to kiss...
She looked away reluctantly, sighed, picked up the coat next to the sofa with one hand, and put it on Yu Qiao.
"Don't sleep here, it's easy to catch cold."
The light from the chandelier above her head was dim, and Yu Qiao slowly opened her eyes in a half-dream and half-awake state, her eyes were filled with light, and she squinted at her: "Um... senior sister?"
Xie Bufei was so cute by her dazed look, she reached out and rubbed her face: "Good boy, go back to sleep."
Yu Qiao rubbed her fingers subconsciously, and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Five minutes later, she opened her eyes again, and her eyes became clear again.Putting on the silver-rimmed glasses, he returned to his previous indifferent appearance.
Li Yan sent them downstairs, aggrieved: "Come back next time, I'll play another game."
Yu Qiao stood in the warm sunshine and waved to him: "Okay."
Xie Bufei crossed his arms: "Are you really playing games with him?"
Yu Qiao nodded: "I haven't played it before, it feels quite novel."
Xie Bufei smiled slightly: "Then I will play with you in the future."
Yu Qiao made an agreement with Cheng Yeli that whenever she was free, she would come to help, and the hourly salary was negotiated at [-] per hour, and the salary could be increased after the grades improved.
In the next few weeks, she came to Wandong community four or five times. Sometimes Xie Bufei would come to accompany her, and sometimes not. Li Yan also became familiar with her, probably because Yu Qiao was willing to play with him. The game, the technology is not bad, so it doesn't target her so much anymore.
In the dormitory, Yao Rudong was on the phone with his parents.Lu Yun packed the luggage to take home and asked, "Are you going home for the National Day this year, quietly?"
Yu Qiao didn't want to go back, but she remembered the phone her mother had turned on before, and her hand on the keyboard hesitated slightly.
"Go back."
On the day of the [-]th long holiday, Yu Qiao packed up her things and boarded the car to the neighboring county.
There were people talking and laughing in the carriage, some children were playing, and countless voices were intertwined, but none of them had anything to do with Yu Qiao.
She looked out of the car window, holding the quiet puppet cat in her arms, and the scenery was receding, gradually changing from skyscrapers to blue tiles and white walls unique to small county towns.
Two hours later, she walked out of the station and stood in the long silent street.
The alleys in the old city are always filled with damp smell, gray in color, and the sky is covered by clotheslines and densely packed clothes.
The road underfoot was wet and slippery, covered with moss.Yu Qiao walked slowly with her luggage, carefully holding curry in one hand, and walked into a dilapidated apartment building.
There are sundries and worn-out bicycles piled up in the corridor, and the voice-activated light is broken again, and there is no response after stomping my feet several times.Yu Qiao stood at the door of the house, silent for a long time, and took out the keys in her pocket.
Click, the door opened.
Yu Qiao walked into the living room and looked around, but there seemed to be no one in the house.
For some reason, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She went into the bedroom with her luggage.The bed was covered with a dust cover, the windows were closed, the desk and bookshelves were still in place, and everything was as usual.
Yu Qiao wiped the table with her hand, but there was no dust.It looked like it was being cleaned frequently.
She took out the things in the luggage, put them away one by one, opened the windows to ventilate, took off the dust cover, and mopped the floor again.
After finishing all this, Yu Qiao looked out the window at the sky divided into several pieces by telephone poles, and dialed her mother's phone number.
"Hello?" Someone was talking on the other end of the phone, and a woman's gentle voice sounded, "Is it quiet?"
Yu Qiao hummed: "Mom, I'm back."
The voice of speaking disappeared, and the woman seemed to come to another room, and the voice was extremely pleasantly surprised: "Really? Did you go home today? Okay, okay...you wait for me to get off work, I will go shopping, and I will make it for you today delicious……"
Her tone was agitated, almost incoherent.Yu Qiao listened silently, and finally said: "Mom, don't bother, just eat whatever you want at home."
"It's not easy for you to come back once, how can you be so hasty..." Mother said stubbornly, "You just wait for me at home, don't run around."
Yu Qiao replied helplessly.
Her mother worked as a clerk in a convenience store for a modest salary, but it was not far from home and it was easy to walk home.
Yu Qiao leaned back on the chair, the sunlight from outside the window fell in and streamed on her face, making it warm.The cat tilted its head and lay at her feet, sleeping soundly with its eyes closed.
She looked at the birds jumping on the telegraph poles, her mind was full of fuzzy thoughts.
After leaving the tense learning environment and the friends around her, she didn't know what to do for a while.
Turning on the phone, Yu Qiao saw the familiar profile picture on the top at a glance.
She thought to herself, senior should go home, right?
... I don't know what she is doing now?
Waiting until 06:30, the sky darkened, and there was no sign of my mother returning home.
Curry barked softly a few times, and it was time for him to eat.Yu Qiao poured a bowl of cat food for it and put it aside, watching it gobble it up.
The phone at hand rang suddenly, she looked away and connected the phone.
"Quietly, I'm sorry... Mom has to work overtime tonight, and there are still some dumplings in the refrigerator, why don't you cook them yourself first?"
Yu Qiao was not too surprised, and said very sensiblely: "Okay, I see."
The woman urged her repeatedly, and finally hung up the phone.Yu Qiao looked at the darkened phone screen and let out a long breath.
The night falls outside the window, and the last ray of light at dusk is slowly disappearing, everything turns into a blurred outline in the darkness, and the birds fly neatly across the sky, leaving behind a series of long calls.
Yu Qiao sat in the bedroom with the lights off, looking into the distance, and suddenly felt a kind of loneliness that no one could describe.
She looked at the screen of the phone, and for some reason, dialed Xie Feifei's phone number.
The phone rang three times and got through.
Yu Qiao was inexplicably nervous, gripped the phone tightly, and said in a low voice: "Senior sister, I..."
She didn't know what to say and lowered her eyes.And the other end was silent all the time, and no one hung up the phone.
After a while, there was a soft sob in my ear.
Yu Qiao suddenly opened her eyes wide: "Sister?!"
"quietly."
Xie Bufei called her in a low voice, trying to suppress the broken crying in his throat.She seemed to be crying, and it was very hard to bear it.
Yu Qiao sat up from the seat: "Sister, what's wrong, are you okay..."
"Quietly..." Xie Bufei interrupted her, almost choked up and said, "I want to see you."
In an instant, Yu Qiao's heart beat violently.
"Okay." She heard herself say, "I'll go find you."
The author has something to say: I'm sorry I'm late again... Woohoo!
