Chapter 81 It's Better We Start Over (9)

After reconciling with Xu Qichen, Xia Zhixu seemed to have come to life, he was full of energy in everything he did, and he regained the style of the little sun in the past.

During the second class break, Chen Fang was called by Xia Zhixu to help him with his math homework. This southern city is notoriously bad weather. When it's hot, the sun can almost bake people, but when it's cold, it's even more uncomfortable. In order to prevent the students from being frozen, Jingjian stopped even the usual inter-class exercises.

When he was out of the office, he happened to meet a student in the next class who was performing at the school celebration. He was holding a saxophone in his hand. Chen Fang suddenly took Xia Zhixu's shoulder and said, "Hey, why don't you show up on the show?"

"What show?"

"School celebration." Chen Fang patted his shoulder, "This is a great opportunity for you to be promoted from grade grass to school grass, brother!"

Xia Zhixu pushed him away, "I'm not interested, I don't want to go."

"I really don't go. Don't, you sing so well, you are good at playing the guitar and the piano, you can perform whatever you choose."

Xia Zhixu said word by word, "I, absolutely, yes, no, will, show, perform, yes, you, die, heart, go."

Not being reserved, Xia Zhixu was half-forced to participate in countless parties since he was a child, but he didn't really enjoy the feeling of standing on the stage attracting everyone's attention, and the high attention gave him a lot of pressure. Under such circumstances, he had to pretend not to care, smiling and accepting the gazes projected at him.

Whether it is good or bad, he must accept it with a decent attitude.

This is the fate of the performer. Although Xia Zhixu did not admit it, in the eyes of everyone, he was a born performer who should be seen by everyone.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Chen Fang immediately changed the topic, "Hey, you have such a good relationship with classmate Xiao Xu now, why didn't you ask him to accompany you to do your homework." Chen Fang sniffed, the wind in the corridor blew him Headache.

"He had been blowing the heating in the classroom all morning, and it was easy to catch a cold when he came out to blow air."

Xia Zhixu's words were almost conditioned reflex, but Chen Fang choked enough, "Hey, what do you mean, he just turned on the heating all morning, I don't have it, I'm not human, am I?" Chen Fang tutted a few times. He said, "I still don't understand. They are also friends. Why is this friend of mine treated like this, and that person's treatment is heaven?"

Xia Zhixu coughed a few times to hide his unnaturalness, "You are rough-skinned and thick-skinned."

"These days, even making friends is a matter of face. It's so desperate. No, no, I have to find some brothers to make some money."

"what?"

"Plastic surgery, do you think I'm going to Japan or South Korea, which has better technology?"

Xia Zhixu pushed open the door of the classroom, and a warm wind rushed towards his face, and his tone was serious with teasing, "Thailand."

Distributing a large stack of homework books among the four group leaders, Xia Zhixu walked back to his seat and saw Xu Qichen bowing his head again reading a book by himself, but it was not an extracurricular book.

He could tell just by looking at his expression, his brows were wrinkled, his eyes were puzzled, not at all relaxed and engaged when reading literature.

Eighty percent are looking at math materials.

His greedy tablemate wasn't there, so he probably went to the grocery store again. Xia Zhixu sat in her seat and put his head in front of Xu Qichen, "What are you looking at? So serious."

Xu Qichen raised his head in a trance, and then noticed that Xia Zhixu, who was next to him, had a chill on his body.

"Oh, isn't the final exam soon, I want to hurry up and make up for math."

Xia Zhixu supported his chin with his hand, "Your math is not very bad."

Xu Qichen sighed, "A math genius like you won't understand the truth that pales in comparison."

"If you can exchange it, I am also willing to exchange your so-called mathematical talent for your literary talent."

Xia Zhixu said this very earnestly, but Xu Qichen disagreed, "At this stage, math talent seems to be more realistic."

"You have to take a long-term view." Xia Zhixu smiled, "If I have a literary talent like yours and become a writer in the future, it sounds very free."

Xu Qichen sighed, the topic of the future was too far away for him, not to mention the direction of his life.

Just on the subject of [living the current stage well], how many people fail.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Xia Zhixu didn't continue the topic. When he saw Xu Qichen's deskmate coming back, he also returned to his place and patted Xu Qichen on the shoulder, "The question you just read actually has a more Good idea, or I'll tell you. I think it's easier than this."

Xu Qichen nodded, turned around with his book in hand, and handed Xia Zhixu his pen.

"Actually, this problem is not that difficult. I think the proof problem is simpler than the general problem. After all, the possibility of calculation errors has been ruled out."

Xu Qichen was stunned, his brows furrowed again, "But I often can't find an idea."

Xia Zhixu smiled and said, "Perhaps the way of thinking has not been adjusted." He pointed to the topic with a pen, "Existential problems like this are generally classified as exploration, and I think the most effective and fastest method is to assume existence first. , no matter whether the conditions are clear or not, after assuming that there is one more condition for the topic, it is much easier to deduce the contradiction than to deduce it directly.”

Xu Qichen, who grabbed the back of his chair with both hands, nodded earnestly, like a well-behaved and good student.

What does it look like, he was originally. Xia Zhixu refuted the previous self in his heart.

"Look, if we first assume that there is such a real number a, and we have the known condition f(1)=1..."

Hearing Xia Zhixu deduce the proof for him step by step, Xu Qichen's slightly frowning brows stretched out, showing a look of sudden openness and joy, "I understand, the proof method in this guidance book is too convoluted, I have read it several times. I don't understand." The amber pupils glittered beautifully under the incandescent lamp in the classroom, "You still speak clearly."

Being praised by Xu Qichen, a small flower bloomed on Xia Zhixu's heart, fluttering in the wind. He suddenly thought that today was Friday, so he said to Xu Qichen, who lowered his head to transcribe the proof process, "By the way...this weekend you..."

"Xu Qichen."

Hearing someone call his name, the two of them raised their heads in unison. It turned out to be a girl named Cen Xi in the class. She smiled slightly, with an obvious look of help on her face.

Xu Qichen didn't know her very well. To be precise, Xu Qichen didn't know anyone very well, so he opened his eyes in confusion, "Are you looking for me?"

"Well! I have something to do...I want to ask you for help."

Xia Zhixu participated in the Mathematical Olympiad before, and this Cen Xi also participated, and the two talked a few times. In his impression, Cen Xi was a quiet and studious girl with a nice voice and politeness.

But don't know why, when she saw her smiling at Xu Qichen and showing a slightly shy expression, Xia Zhixu's impression of her was reduced.

"What's the matter?" Compared with the beginning of school, Xu Qichen has become much more approachable. Cen Xi hesitated, "Can you... go out and talk?"

Xia Zhixu said immediately, "It's so cold outside, so just talk here."

Seeing that Cen Xi was still a little embarrassed, Xu Qichen stood up from his seat very considerately.

"Hey, it's really cold outside." Xia Zhixu tugged at Xu Qichen's arm, but he just hummed, picked up the blue cotton jacket hanging on the back of the chair and put it on him, and went out with Cen Xi .

Not long after the two of them went out, Xu Qichen's tablemate turned around and started gossiping at Xia Zhixu's tablemate, "Hey, tell me, Cen Xi should be that Xu Qichen."

"What what?"

"Oh, what is that?"

Xia Zhixu, who was sitting on the side, couldn't listen anymore, "Can you two speak human words?"

Xu Qichen's tablemate snorted and whispered, "I think Cen Xi might like Xu Qichen."

"Impossible!" Xia Zhixu asserted.

"Huh? What are you doing so excited? Could it be..." The tablemate covered his mouth and made an unbelievable contrived expression, "Do you like Cen Xi!"

"I like your uncle." Xia Zhixu rolled his eyes, "If you don't study hard every day, you will know gossip."

The two girls didn't mind being hurt by Xia Zhixu at all, so they continued their gossip career, "Cen Xi usually seems to be quiet and gentle, but I didn't expect to be so proactive?"

"It also depends on who the other party is. My deskmate is in our class, no, in our grade, he is one of the best, but he is a little weak, but today's girls like this kind of white, clean and gentle."

"I also think that Xu Qichen is the kind of good-looking boy. After getting along for a long time, he is also a good person. He just talks less, but it doesn't matter, it's enough to see his face."

Xia Zhixu's endurance finally reached its peak, "You two have no end!"

"What's wrong with you? You're so angry." The tablemate looked at Xia Zhixu, thinking he was dissatisfied with their praise for Qichen's good looks, "You're also handsome, you're the most handsome in the whole class."

"You two are so arguing that I'm studying."

The same table came to him and looked at his book, "Study? You didn't turn over your book, so you can read upside down with good grades."

Xia Zhixu turned the book around awkwardly, and the two people who happened to be out just now also pushed open the door and entered.

"Don't say it, she looks pretty good."

"right."

Just because this sentence is very suitable, Xia Zhixu felt uncomfortable all morning. It was like a half-dead rabbit was stuffed in his chest.

In the last geography class, he didn't listen to the teacher's lecture all the way. He was thinking about what Xu Qichen and Cen Xi said when they went out. He even imagined the scene of the two getting married, just like just now, wearing a suit and wedding dress, facing the They come over.

crazy.

Crazy, crazy.

"Okay, that's the end of the class. You can go back and draw this picture by yourself. Let's end the get out of class."

Xu Qichen packed his schoolbag and saw Xia Zhixu still in a daze when he turned back to pick up his padded clothes, so he poked his forehead with his finger, "What are you thinking?"

"No, nothing." Xia Zhixu grabbed the schoolbag and stood up.

He couldn't tell Xu Qichen that he had imagined how he would get married. When the witness asked if anyone objected, he appeared and smashed the whole scene.

When he said it, he was either laughed to death or cut off ties with him.

Seeing Xia Zhixu grabbing the bag and walking out of the seat, Xu Qichen sighed, "You don't wear a coat."

"Oh yes, yes." Xia Zhixu took two more steps back and put on his jacket.

The two walked out of the teaching building. The sky was gloomy. There was neither the sun nor any more serious weather omens. They were in a gray and ambiguous area.

Xu Qichen was afraid of the cold, so he habitually tucked his hands into his sleeves and let out a slight sigh, "I thought it would snow today."

"Do you like snow?" Xia Zhixu asked.

"I like it. I remember when I was very young, I only went to elementary school. It snowed a lot in winter one year. You can come to me." Xu Qichen put his hand on his stomach, "I am very impressed. , a three-month winter vacation."

"I also remember that I was so excited."

Xu Qichen snorted and his tone sank again, "But I later learned that the snow was a serious natural disaster." He sighed and his steps slowed down, "I know the truth, I can't bear it. I feel guilty for being so happy and excited at the time."

"But it's not your fault, and you don't know it."

"I know that because I didn't know it, I was really excited and couldn't even deny it."

Xia Zhixu saw that he was still shrinking his hands, looking like a poor little animal, so he took off his woolen gloves, grabbed Xu Qichen's wrist, and put the gloves on his hand, "Don't think like that, you When I was a child, it was normal to be happy.”

At the same time with literary talent, God also endowed him with a sensitive heart.

I don't know if it's good or bad.

In order to change the subject, and to let his heart fall, Xia Zhixu couldn't help but say, "Cen Xi was looking for you just now... what did you do?"

Xu Qichen was embarrassed to use his gloves, but he didn't wear them for a long time in his hands, "It's just the school celebration, Cen Xi wants to sign up for a show."

"What show? Why are you still looking for you?"

The two got into the car one after the other, and Xu Qichen explained, "She wants to report a poem to recite, but she doesn't have a favorite poem, so she wants me to write one for her."

Xia Zhixu immediately retorted, "How can this be done!"

His voice became louder, causing everyone around him to turn their heads. Feeling a little embarrassed, Xia Zhixu lowered his voice again, "You can't write poetry for her."

Write her a poem? Such an expression would be too ambiguous.

Xu Qichen put the gloves back into Xia Zhixu's hand, and held the pillar with his hand, feeling amused, "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't write the poem for her, it was me who wrote the poem and she recited it."

It seemed to Xia Zhixu that it was the same, he let go of his hand holding the ring and grabbed Xu Qichen's arm, "Don't write to her, look, she will be the only one who will perform on stage, and you will become The behind-the-scenes workers are not worth it."

Xu Qichen looked into his eyes, "It's okay to be behind the scenes, someone has to be behind the scenes, and I've never been able to become a performer."

Xia Zhixu thought of himself.

But this is not what he is worried about at the moment, his tone is a little anxious, "Anyway..."

Before he could finish speaking, the driver slammed on the brakes, Xia Zhixu, who had not grabbed any support, was violently pulled by inertia and threw himself on Xu Qichen.

Different from Xu Qichen's "throwing arms" last time, Xia Zhixu subconsciously stretched out his arms and hugged Xu Qichen's back, a complete and tight hug.

The most embarrassing thing is that Xia Zhixu's lips brushed Xu Qichen's cheek the moment he rushed up.

In just a few seconds, it was almost impossible to capture the touch of the touch.

No, still feel it.

Cool and soft.

So comfortable that he dared not admit that he felt it.

I only felt that my heart was beating violently, stronger than any abnormal vibration. Xia Zhixu hugged Xu Qichen's body tightly, his head stopped rigidly beside his ear, his mind went blank, and he forgot the first thing he should do now.

is to release him.

Xu Qichen's hand was clutching the pillar, and he never let go, his knuckles turning white.

When the bus stopped, it was like being enchanted by a fairy in a fairy tale, and everything was forced to stand still.

When it starts again, the effect of the magic will also end.

Xu Qichen finally said, "You...holding too tightly..."
