    Chapter 76 Let's start from scratch (4)

    Xia Zhixu is a strange person.

    Xu Qichen felt that way from the first time he saw him.

    Everyone sweeps the snow in front of their own door, and takes care of the frost on other people's tiles. In the icy forest made of reinforced concrete, this sentence has long become the law of life for modern people. He knows this very well, so what he can do himself, he will never trouble others.

    To be an independent individual can survive well.

    But he still accidentally troubled him, which was the thing Xu Qichen regretted the most.

    If it weren't for the fact that hypoglycemia was about to occur and he was the only student in the car, Xu Qichen would never have asked for help.

    How could he have expected that this time for help, this person would have an opportunity.

    Unbridled release light in front of him.

    Help him resolve the embarrassment, help him occupy a seat, take the car home with him, ask him to revise the script, and twist the water bottle for him.

    The person did not find it difficult to approach others in the slightest, as if there would never be a sense of frustration.

    It's because life is so smooth. Such dark thoughts suddenly appeared in Xu Qichen's heart.

    Good-looking, outstanding achievements, and a happy family are the objects of admiration and pursuit by everyone, so when you see people like yourself, you will feel extremely pitiful.

    Whenever Xia Zhixu approached him with a smile on his face, Xu Qichen always put a label on him without authorization.

    [The sympathetic guy]

    Therefore, when he saw him running in front of him again and giving himself unconditionally, Xu Qichen finally couldn't hold back his gloomy face.

    "You are pity me."

    "Are you doing this out of pity for me?"

    Seeing the doubt and helplessness in his eyes, Xu Qichen felt relieved instead.

    Stop caring about him because of ridiculous empathy, empathy is a false proposition.

    But when he kicked an irregular forward step and walked towards him step by step.

    "no."

    There was determination and eagerness in his eyes.

    "Because you are very good and you are excellent, that's why I want to be your friend."

    Xu Qichen couldn't deny it, when he heard this sentence he never expected, he was indeed a little flustered, and he didn't understand the reason.

    The dead heart began to beat.

    faster and faster.

    turn back!

    Hearing the instructor's order, he turned back subconsciously and hastily, his body hadn't recovered from the state just now, and he almost fell.

    His arm was firmly grasped by a pair of hands behind him.

    "I was serious."

    It was a heavy blow.

    Why is there such a strange person still appearing in front of him.

    "This is the end of the training this morning! At 2:30 in the afternoon, the whole team gathered in this place. If someone is late, I will give me a frog jump around this playground, understand?"

    "clear!"

    "Turn right, start in the first row, take the team out, follow up."

    The six -row square matrix became a long dragon, leaving the gate of the stadium neatly and orderly, and then dissolved in place. Xu Qichen took his insulation cup and walked towards the school door.

    His steps were a little faster than usual, and somehow felt guilty.

    Inexplicably want to be caught by that guy at this time.

    "Know! Xia Zhi! What are you running?"

    "Go home for dinner!"

    "Stunning ghosts, you are born, you."

    coming……

    Xu Qichen wanted to hide subconsciously, and there were people around the surroundings, and there was nowhere to hide.

    In the end, he was caught.

    "You walk so fast." Xia Zhixu ran hotly, took off his hat, and fanned the wind in front of his face.

    Xu Qichen didn't answer and walked silently.

    "Did you hear it?" His tone became a little hesitant, "... what I just said, there is nothing else, that is, ... if you don't hear, I can say it again."

    "No need." Xu Qichen replied quickly, "I heard it."

    Xia Zhi's expression was happy all of a sudden, "Really?" He saw the crowd who became more and more crowded after the dissolution, and came to Xu Qichen's left hand side. Dry. "

    it's wired……

    What oaths are sent between the two boys.

    "Don't say it." Xu Qichen lowered his voice.

    "Then you don't follow me with me." Xia Zhi smiled rogically.

    It's difficult, this is a new label.

    The finger was uncomfortable with the band of the insulation cup.

    "Go home first."

    After saying this, he felt that there was something wrong. After a few steps, he found that the people around him were gone.

    Looking back, saw Xia Zhichen stunned.

    Did he say something wrong?

    It was difficult to follow the crowd of military training people out of the school, but all the new students were disbanded at this time, the school entrance was full of dense camouflage colors, and the bus station almost exploded.

    "What should I do, it's so crowded." Xia Zhixu glanced at Xu Qichen's arm, "Let's take a taxi back."

    With so many people, is it easy to stop a taxi?

    Xu Qichen didn't say anything.

    Soon he reacted again.

    It seems that the point is not whether the taxi is good or not, but...

    Why should I take a taxi home with you.

    But this enthusiastic young man did not pay attention to the core of the problem at all. He ran to the side of the road in front of the bus station. Several cars were stopped in a row, and finally an empty car stopped.

    "Where are you going?" The driver rolled down the window.

    "Master, go to Youyi Road, which is the entrance of the Jinxiu Garden."

    "Oh, I'm not going over there. I'll be handed over in a while. I'm too lazy to make a trip."

    Xia Zhixu put his hands on the car window, "Don't, master, take me with you, you see I've been waiting here for a long time for your car, and..." He immediately squeezed out a pitiful look "A good friend of mine broke his arm during military training today, look it's over there!" Xia Zhixu pointed to Xu Qichen not far away.

    "He can't get on the bus like this. We finally stopped your car. You can do it as a good deed, okay?"

    The driver tilted his head and looked at it. There was really a boy with dangling arms standing there. He looked at his watch and sighed, "Okay, you can call him over."

    "Thank you, master!" Xia Zhixu immediately ran to Xu Qichen's side, grabbed his arm and walked here, opened the car door for him, shoved him in, and sat beside him by himself, "Okay. Now, sir, let's go."

    The driver glanced at the two of them in the rearview mirror and said to himself, "Children's military training is so hard now? How can it be..."

    Xia Zhixu immediately grabbed the words, "Oh, yes, our instructors are very strict, you don't know, what, he also punished us to jump around the big playground, our legs are about to die."

    Xu Qichen looked at him suspiciously. After speaking, Xia Zhixu turned to look at Xu Qichen and smiled dryly, "You, you have to be careful."

    strangeness.

    Xia Zhixu was chatting with the driver along the way, Xu Qichen sat tight and listened, feeling that he was really a person with social talent.

    This is beyond his reach.

    The driver stopped the car at the intersection, "Are you here?"

    The two got out of the car, Xia Zhixu closed the door, "Thank you, you are such a good person!"

    "I'll give you the taxi money this afternoon." Xu Qichen said coldly, and Xia Zhixu replied subconsciously, "No, this..."

    But his expression suddenly changed, "Afternoon? Otherwise, give it to me when you go to school in the afternoon."

    Xu Qichen looked at him blankly, "When you were in school?"

    "Yeah, what time do you leave from home? Let's meet at the bus stop at an appointment." Xia Zhixu laughed.

    "I……"

    Xia Zhixu didn't give him time to hesitate, "Just 1:50 in the afternoon, okay? We have to gather at 2:30."

    Xu Qichen's eyes dropped.

    He still can't learn to reject others.

    No, it is to learn not to reject the person in front of him.

    "...Well." Turning around and leaving, he turned towards the corner of the street.

    The people behind him were still saying goodbye to him, even in a cheerful tone.

    Xu Qichen could only pretend that he didn't hear it, and walked back home silently along the not-so-long street.

    Go upstairs, take out the key, and open the door.

    As soon as entered the door, heard a lot of movement in the kitchen, accompanied by the sound of a phone call.

    "No on Sunday, I said that Chen Chen is off on Sunday, and I have to stay with him at home... No, I told you last time, you don't remember it yourself, and I don't have time for you on Saturday. It's you who insisted on going to your friend's wedding on Saturday."

    Xu Qichen silently bent over to change his shoes, and put the water bottle in his hand on the coffee table in the living room.

    "You're always like this, and it's always my fault. I didn't say that. I mean you're also considerate and considerate of me... Why doesn't it matter to me? That's my sister's. Son, it's my child, it's none of my business?"

    He sat on the sofa and took the hat off his head.

    "I can't talk to you anymore, you can't understand me at all, don't talk anymore, just calm down for a while."

    Hearing Shu Ying hang up, Xu Qichen quickly stood up, took his hat and walked to the entrance lightly, pretending to have just arrived home, and stood for a while before speaking, "Auntie, I'm back."

    Shu Ying responded in the kitchen, "Yeah! I'm back so early. There are fruits I cut in the refrigerator. You can take them out and eat them."

    Xu Qichen hummed, opened the refrigerator, took out the plate of apples she had cut in a mess, and put it on the dining table.

    Shu Ying brought two dishes to the table and put them down, a plate of shredded potatoes that were fried to the point of scorching, and a plate of fried pork with green peppers that didn't look very tasty.

    Xu Qichen walked to the kitchen and saw that there was still a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes. He was about to serve it when Shu Ying sent him out.

    Shu Ying looked at her "masterpiece", smiled embarrassedly, and let go of her long hair tied up for cooking, "Originally I was going to order takeout, but I'm afraid the outside is not clean, although you Auntie, I don't cook well, but at least it's clean and nutritious."

    Xu Qichen didn't say a word, just took a chopstick and ate a big mouthful of eggs silently.

    ...and a small piece of egg shell inside.

    He pretended to be delicious and swallowed it.

    "Isn't the military training very hard today?" Shu Ying gave him a piece of shredded potato that was not too burnt with chopsticks. "I still remember when I was in the military training in college a few years ago. I was tired and wanted to sleep every day when I came back."

    "It's okay, not too tired."

    "That's good." Shu Ying smiled and took a bite of her meal, "I'll take you to the movies when you're on vacation."

    Xu Qichen held his chopsticks and poked at the rice in the bowl, "No need."

    "What's the matter, don't want to watch a movie? Then I'll take you to the bookstore. I saw a new book from the author you like on the Internet two days ago. I was going to order a copy for you online. You can buy it at the bookstore, you don’t have to wait.”

    Xu Qichen shook his head, "No need." He glanced at Shu Ying and said hesitantly, "Auntie, I'll go to the bookstore by myself on the weekend. Go out with Uncle He."

    In fact, Xu Qichen didn't want to call that person uncle at all. After all, he was only twenty-six years old, and he wasn't very good. If it wasn't for his aunt's boyfriend, he wouldn't even want to talk to such a person.

    Shu Ying sighed, "I, the more I look at him, the less good he is." She winked at Xu Qichen, "Tell me, why don't I take this opportunity to kick him, anyway, I'm so pretty, chase me A lot of people."

    Xu Qichen watched her brush her hair and shook her head, "Don't pretend to be a bad woman."

    "What do you know, little guy." Shu Ying smiled and gave him another chopstick dish, and took an apple with her own hand to eat, "When you have someone you like in the future, you will know how troublesome it is to fall in love. ."

    yes.

    Xu Qichen lowered his head and took a mouthful of rice.

    Love is impossible.

    But troublemakers have already appeared.

    After dinner, Shu Ying asked about Xu Qichen at school while clearing the table, "Are there any beautiful girls in your class?"

    Xu Qichen shook his head, walked to the sofa and sat down. He took out a copy of "The Kite Runner" lying under the coffee table, and continued to read from the page he didn't read last time.

    "Really not." Shu Ying wiped the table, "What about the good-looking boy?"

    Xu Qichen's eyes suddenly stopped at a sentence on the page.

    [Moths to flames are possessed by demons, and wolves climb mountains to find the sun. ]

    "No." He replied flatly.

    Even when I heard the question, a face that dangled in front of my eyes every day popped into my mind for the first time.

    "Okay, it's a pity, there are no good-looking boys and girls, what a boring school." Shu Ying shook her head, packed her things, washed her hands again, took the medicine box and walked to the sofa , Sitting next to Xu Qichen, he turned his face focused on reading, facing himself, "But it doesn't matter, our family Chenchen is pretty good-looking, so let's enjoy yourself."

    Xu Qichen glanced at her helplessly, he had never been able to do anything about this aunt who was not serious.

    Shu Ying gently lifted the gauze on his forehead, and the scars inside were almost healed. She put some medicine on him and wrapped it up again, "Be careful during military training, don't bump it, you bastard. It would be too obvious if she left a little scar, and the little girl now can see her face."

    Xu Qichen said nothing, lowered his head and continued to read.

    "Aren't you going to take a nap?"

    "Go to sleep after watching." Xu Qichen lay on the sofa and put the book under his arm.

    Looking at it, the words on the pages were dense and blurred, and Xu Qichen's eyelids finally couldn't hold it, and he fell asleep on the couch with his head tilted.

    In the dream, the figures of Mom and Dad appeared dimly. They held his hand and took him to the bookstore and the playground. Everything in the dream was colorful, just like the colorful bubbles in the amusement park. .

    "You are Mom and Dad's baby."

    The dream was so beautiful that he seemed to have fallen into a swamp, his body was trapped by a soft deception, and he kept sinking and sinking.

    "Chen Chen!"

    After a violent shaking, Xu Qichen opened his eyes in a daze.

    She is an aunt who looks a lot like her mother when she was young.

    "It's almost two o'clock, won't you be late for military training in the afternoon?"

    Xu Qichen, who had just woken up, slowly got up from the sofa and rubbed his hair, not yet fully awake.

    two o'clock...

    He frowned and glanced at the clock hanging in the living room. It was fifty-five.

    "Hey, you're leaving so soon!" Seeing Xu Qichen grabbing his hat and leaving, Shu Ying felt inexplicable. Before she could finish her sentence, the guy closed the door and left without a word.

    Xu Qichen's steps were much faster than usual, and he went downstairs in a confused manner, and hurriedly walked through the streets that were going to be at least three minutes on weekdays.

    As soon as turned around, looked at the bus station not far away.

    The boy in a white shirt, sitting on a bench at the bus station, happened to be, and the other party looked towards him.

    Watching the other party standing up, he was wearing a military training uniform, long and upright, like a lush Mizutu. The black and white pupils seemed to be shiny stars, but they laughed in the next second, turning into two bends.

    Xu Qichen suddenly stepped down, and a doubt appeared in his heart.

    Why are you anxious?

    I probably don't want to lose my contract.

    I don't want to be felt as a person who does not talk about credit.

    My heart was a little more determined, and my footsteps were naturally much.

    Xu Qichen walked to the bus station and looked at Xia Zhi's bright smile. He had a little guilty, "Sorry, I ..."

    "Hey! The car is coming!" Xia Zhixu looked at the bus that came from, "Let's go up."

    Xu Qichen looked down at the watch on his wrist.

    Two points over five points.

    He waited for fifteen minutes, but seemed to have just arrived.

    At noon, Xia Zhixu found a two -seater and left the one inside to Xu Qichen. As soon as Xu Qichen sat down, the boy around him handed him an ice cream. He raised his eyes and looked at him a little bit.

    "Please eat it." Xia Zhixu said calmly. "I said that you want to ask you to eat, you always have to eat sugar, you should like to eat ice cream." He found a wooden spoon from the bag "I guess, if I ask you to go to the store to eat burgers or something, you will definitely not go with me, so I can only buy ice cream for you."

    Xu Qichen didn't want to pick it up, but Xia knew that he had been holding it like this, and it didn't seem to be polite without picking up.

    He could only pick up ice cream, and the box packaged with chocolate.

    Xu Qichen does not like to eat chocolate.

    Because the chocolate is not completely sweet, it is always blended with bitterness, and there is a subtle sense of indispensable.

    "Hurry up, this is the gratitude I gave you." Xia Zhi's hand was also holding a box, but his lemon was printed.

    Xie Li ... Xu Qichen scooped a spoonful of stuffing into his mouth.

    In fact, he didn't help him. After this person came to power, he didn't speak according to the previous manuscript, but he was impassioned.

    Although he was not as excited as other classmates, but ...

    "When you spoke in the morning, which song was the lyrics said?"

    Xu Qichen's sudden opening made Xia Zhi a little caught off guard.

    This seems to be the first time he took the initiative to talk to him.

    "" Counting Stars ", I like it very much, I have the opportunity to listen to you." Xia Zhixu took a bite of ice cream, and his heart was sweet. "That lyrics are well written?"

    He sang out, "Everything that kills me makes me feel alive."

    Xu Qichen inserted the spoon in ice cream, his ears were hot.

    His voice sounded very nicely, even more so when singing. It is different from yourself, very firm and clear.

    "Um." Xu Qichen swallowed the ice cream in his mouth, "well written."

    Those who put me on the ground will be given to me in the future.

    strangeness.

    Xu Qichen looked down at the ice cream in his hand.

    It seems that the taste of chocolate is also delicious, and it is mixed with a little bit of bitterness, making the sweetness more obvious.

    He glanced at the ice cream that Xia knew Xia, "Is the flavor delicious?"

    Xia Zhixu looked at it and showed a smile, "Hmm ... I like it very much."

    The training in the afternoon was a lot harder than the morning. Instructor Yang's requirements were very strict. After a step back and forth for one hour, didn't stop for one minute. The expression on the upper manner was slightly slowed.

    "Rest for ten minutes in place!"

    Everyone's tight nerves were relaxed all of a sudden, one by one with the chicks with a cage, a nest of bees ran to the place where the kettle was concentrated, sitting on the grass and drinking water to rest.

    Xu Qichen remembered at this time that he was in a hurry at noon today and did not bring a water cup.

    Forget it, don't drink anymore.

    When I turned around, I saw Xia Zhiyu sitting on the ground, and I was looking at myself.

    Feel more embarrassed.

    "Hey, where are you going?" The boy who seemed to be Chen Fang beside him dragged him empty. Xia Zhixu stood up and walked straight at him.

    The whole class stood, and the other party walked towards him again. Xu Qichen felt embarrassed and quickly sat down.

    "What about your tight water cups?" Xia Zhixu sat down without a must -have, holding his mineral water bottle in his hand.

    Xu Qichen whispered, "Forget it."

    "Oh." Xia Zhiye stood up again, patted the grass on his butt, and ran to the instructor with a smile. "Instructor Yang, can I go to the door of the stadium to buy a bottle of water?"

    Instructor Yang glanced at him, "You hold a bottle in your hand, what are you buying!"

    "I don't have enough bottle." Xia Zhiye put the bottle's hand behind him. "I have a cute drinking water, and I have to have at least two bottles every time I exercise!"

    Instructor Yang is still unmoved.

    Xia Zhixu walked back, sitting beside Xu Qichen, sighed.

    "I'm not thirsty."

    Xu Qichen didn't want to bother him at all, although he was really thirsty now.

    Xia Zhixu turned his head and glanced at him, and said that he was not thirsty, his lips had a thin layer of skin.

    He unscrewed the water bottle he had drank and handed it over. "You drink, I can't finish it."

    Really, just said at least two bottles.

    Xu Qichen did not pick up his water bottle, and silently looked at the next door of the training not far away.

    "Are you obsessed with cleanliness? I'll borrow a tissue to wipe the mouth of the bottle."

    After the man finished speaking, he was really about to get up and borrow a tissue. Xu Qichen grabbed the water bottle in his hand and rushed before he stood up.

    "Hey..." Xia Zhixu sat down again, looking at him with his neck raised and his mouth slightly open.

    The translucent bottle mouth was about three or four centimeters away from his lips.

    The boy's not-so-obvious Adam's apple rolled gently.

    A clear stream of water fell from the bottle, and the extra uncontrolled water flowed down the corners of his mouth and extended to the white side neck.

    Rolling drops of water fell on the skin covered by the neckline, and then disappeared.

    He handed the water bottle back to Xia Zhixu, said thank you in a low voice, raised his right arm and wiped the water from his mouth.

    "No, no thanks." Xia Zhixu took the water, crawled up with a strange look, and returned to the place where he was sitting before. He was kicked by the wheat-colored boy and hugged his shoulders.

    Fighting, friendship between boys.

    Xu Qichen frowned, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

    They are all boys, why do you have to hold it and drink it? It's okay to drink saliva.

    He looked at Xia Zhixu again, and the person who was originally aiming at him obviously turned his eyes away.

    Probably because this guy is so weird.

    Weird and troublesome.

    I don't want to be infected by him.
