In Beijing in November, the sunshine is very good, the autumn is high and the air is refreshing, and the weather has not completely cooled down. It is almost the most comfortable time of the year.
The sky is azure blue, and the red walls and yellow tiles of the Temple of Earth, together with the golden ginkgo trees, decorate Beijing in autumn.
Autumn on the campus of R University High School is also lovely.
The lawn of the central garden has not turned yellow yet, but it is still green. There are also several ginkgo plants planted on the campus. The golden yellow is mixed with the dark green cypresses to look lively. The persimmon trees are already covered with persimmons like orange-red little lanterns.
The head teacher in Song Qiaoxi's class always yelled with these dishonest boys in the class, "No one should step on the lawn of the central garden for me!"
As a result, every time when get out of class is over, there are always classmates jumping across the lawn. High school students at this age like to fight against any form of "authority."
The bell rang for the end of get out of class. There is no late self-study in the R High School of Grade One and Grade Two. Song Qiaoxi quickly packed her schoolbags and prepared to find Chu Jin.
On the subway going to school today, Song Qiaoxi and Chu Jin agreed, and after class, accompany her to the Zhongguancun Book Building to buy the latest SAT and TOEFL tutorial books.
Her tablemate is a short-haired girl, an old Beijing "indigenous" named Zhou Jie.
Song Qiaoxi likes to listen to her. Zhou Jie will say "Tomato scrambled eggs" as "Chest is scrambled eggs", "Teacher is good" as "Old days are good", "Pizza Hut" is called "Sick children", she is a straightforward and lovely girl. .
"Song Qiaoxi, are you still going home with your brother? I'm a little hungry, will you accompany me to knock on and buy an oden to eat?" Zhou Jie patted Song Qiaoxi on the shoulder, leaned forward and looked out the door, "Hey, you Didn't you come to the class door to wait for you today?"
"Ah, do you mean Chu Jin?" Song Qiaoxi zips up her schoolbag and shook her head with a smile. "He is not my brother. Who do you hear that he is my brother?"
Zhou Jie had the expression of choking on the child, "I'm going, you don't know? The whole high-level department has spread, and a girl in their experimental class wants to chase Chu all. Some people say that Chu Jin and you are childhood sweethearts. You two are a pair. The daughter of the wife just let it out, saying that Chu Jin is an orphan and your adopted elder brother, and you two are brothers and sisters, so the two talented people go to school together every day."
"Chu Jin is not an orphan, nor is he adopted by my family. He is the child of a good friend of my parents, and his grandfather lives across from my house..." Song Qiaoxi defended, and suddenly paused, thinking of Zhou Jie. Saying "You two are a couple", his face swelled and whispered, "We, we are not together..."
"That's it," Zhou Jie suddenly realized, "I also don't think you and Chu Jin are like a puppy love, just the kind of pure friendship of childhood sweethearts, right? Kind?"
Hearing "Pure Friendship", Song Qiaoxi's chest rose with enthusiasm. She put down the schoolbag she was about to carry and turned her head to ask Zhou Jie: "You just said that there is a woman in Chu Jin's class who wants to chase him?"
"You don’t know, it’s Cheng Lili from the experimental class. She had a big wavy hair perm two days ago. I think she wants to learn your hairstyle, but it’s not as good as yours. Xiao Xi in our family is born with it. The Jilajuan is much hotter than Cheng Lili." Zhou Jie said in Song Qiaoxi's ear with her little deskmate.
She likes this tablemate very much. The small classmates are very good. They come from Qizhou, which is rich in "student tyrants". Her English and Chinese scores are among the best in the class. The science is a little weaker, but they are also in the upper reaches of the class.
Song Qiaoxi always speaks softly and cutely, her long seaweed-like hair hangs smoothly on her chest, her skin is white as bone china, her cheeks are soft and jelly-like, with no pores visible.
The classmates gave her a nickname, Xiao Xi.
Xiao Xi laughed, it was so sweet to the heart.
Zhou Jie was promoted to the headquarters of R Dafu Junior High School. Cheng Lili was in the same class with her before, but Zhou Jie was particularly uncomfortable with Cheng Lili's style.
Every level will have a girl like Cheng Lili, who relies on her good-looking looks and is obsessed with enjoying the hospitality of many types of boys and all kinds of secret and bright love.
Cheng Lili would occasionally try out those boys, but never actively refused or said. In the third year of junior high, Cheng Lili's girlfriends often released news, saying that certain "Bancao" was chasing Cheng Lili and the like.
"Cheng Lili? I don't know her..." Song Qiaoxi shook her head, whispering a little.
Cheng Lili wants to chase Chu all the way?
Song Qiaoxi was very unfamiliar with this person's name, and had never heard Chu Jin say it.
He just heard the words "I want to chase Chu to the end", I suddenly "cocked" in my heart, and frowned unconsciously.
But after thinking about it, Chu Jin really never took the initiative to mention his classmates in the experimental class. The reason was that Chu Jin was mostly alone, and he and the classmates in the experimental class did not become very close friends.
Chu Jin is very busy every day, learning math competitions, and tutoring Song Qiaoxi's science homework. The rest of the time is sitting in front of the computer and knocking until late.
Thinking that Chu Jin must have already been waiting for her at the school gate, Song Qiaoxi hurriedly picked up her schoolbag to stop thinking about it.
She waved to the tablemate, "Thank you for telling me this, Zhou Jie, I will accompany you to Qiyaoyao to eat Oden tomorrow at noon. Would you like to eat spinach cake? Today I am going to Zhongguancun Book Building."
"Sure, my little Xixi." Zhou Jie blew a kiss to her, "See you tomorrow, let's go to knocker for lunch at noon!"
Song Qiaoxi carried her schoolbag, and followed the army in red and white uniforms downstairs.
She was very good, listened to the teacher, did not cross the central garden, trot all the way towards the school gate.
He saw Chu Jin carrying a black schoolbag on one shoulder, earphones on one ear, and standing in front of the school without squinting.
Chu Jin was too eye-catching. He was about 1.8 meters tall. He was thin but tall, and his facial features were exquisite like the characters in the painting. His whole body exuded a cold and alienated temperament.
There are always boys who pass by and look up at him with disdain, while girls will blush and glance at him, whispering to their companions.
"Hey, have you waited for a long time?" Song Qiaoxi stood on tiptoe and patted Chu Jin on the shoulder, "Let's go, go to Zhongguancun Book Building."
"No, just came." Chu Jin was immersed in the sunset, and his dark eyes became lighter in the golden sunset. He pulled off the earphones and looked at her with a smile at the end of his eyes.
"We can take Route 584 or Route 332. Which one will come first? Which one shall we take?" Song Qiaoxi took out a folded piece of paper from her pocket. After checking the traffic route, she glanced down.
R University High School is not far from Zhongguancun Book Building, a few bus stops, including walking time, it takes more than 20 minutes to arrive.
"Well, go early and return early. I called Aunt Qiao." Chu Jin nodded, naturally stretched a hand behind Song Qiaoxi and lifted the handle above her schoolbag.
Song Qiaoxi lighted her shoulder and took off her schoolbag, which fell into Chu Jin's hands.
She stretched her waist and pointed easily to the bus stop not far away, "Go, let's go!"
At this moment, a cheerful and playful female voice came from behind the two of them, "Chu Jin."
Song Qiaoxi clenched the list of books tightly, and subconsciously turned her head to look.
It is a girl wearing a red and white school uniform with a big wave.
She is taller than Song Qiaoxi, has a slender figure, and has very gorgeous features.
Especially the pair of phoenix eyes, the tails of the eyes are pointed upwards, which are a little drooping from Song Qiaoxi's big wet eyes like a little pet. The girl who came to say hello is a little more charming than her peers because of these eyes.
"Hello, are you Chu Jin's younger sister?" The girl stretched out her hand to Song Qiaoxi, her chin slightly raised, smiling sweetly, "My name is Cheng Lili, and I am a classmate of your brother's experimental class."
Song Qiaoxi said "Ah", it turned out that this girl is Cheng Lili?
It's her who speaks out to chase Chu Chu?
She hesitated whether to stretch out her hand, looked at Cheng Lili's beautiful smiling face, and smiled slightly.
To the good-looking girl, Song Qiaoxi couldn't pull her face down, and said softly: "Hello, my name is Song Qiaoxi, but I and Chu Jin..."
Before Song Qiaoxi could finish speaking, Chu Jin frowned, grabbing the little girl's collar and pulling her back a certain distance.
His voice was obviously impatient and said to Cheng Lili: "She is not my sister, are you okay?"
"You..." The smile on Cheng Lili's face stiffened, she glanced at the paper Song Qiaoxi was holding, and then recovered the perfect smile she had trained in the mirror for many years, "You are going Is the Zhongguancun Book Building? It just so happens that I also have a tutorial book that I want to buy. Let's go together. You are all from other places and you are not familiar with Beijing. I can be your guide."
Cheng Lili blinked at Chu Jin and took the initiative to show her okay, looking warm and cute.
She thinks she has good acting skills and can conceal her true thoughts well.
This is the first time Cheng Lili has encountered a boy who is not interested in herself.
On the first day of school, Cheng Lili noticed that the most eye-catching new classmate in the class was Chu Jin, who was a cool temperament and looked like a "monster". .
Hearing that Chu Jin was an orphan with a particularly miserable life experience and came from a small place called Qizhou, Cheng Lili was relieved right away.
Generally, boys who come from poor families under this kind of sentiment are more lacking in love.
As long as they give this kind of boys a little bit of sweetness, they usually take the initiative to take the initiative to be a cow and a horse.
The sixteen-year-old girl has an excellent family background, and she is charming and beautiful, but she always has the urge to play "dangerous games" with boys that she can't control herself.
She didn't want to fall in love with boys, she simply enjoyed the feeling of Zhongxing Pengyue.
Moreover, the colder the boy is, the more challenging it is for Cheng Lili.
"We don't need a guide." Chu Jin said coldly, carrying his schoolbag on his shoulders, holding a pink girl schoolbag in one hand, and Song Qiaoxi's arm in the other hand, turning around and walking towards the bus stop.
Song Qiaoxi was dragged by Chu Jin for two steps before the boy let go of her arm.
Song Qiaoxi didn't know the reason, but when she saw Cheng Lili talking to Chu Jin with a smile, she always felt sore and uncomfortable in her heart.
I have never experienced this emotion before.
The two walked side by side to the bus station, and Chu Jin said lightly: "Song Qiaoxi, don't pay attention to her, I, I have never told anyone that you are my sister, and I have never spoken to her in the class... .."
Even Chu Jin didn't notice it, but the tone of his speech was clearly explanatory.
"Oh, it's okay." Song Qiaoxi smiled at him with her face up, "I didn't treat you as an older brother either."
With Chu Jin's words, the subtle discomfort in my heart seemed to disappear all at once.
"Song Qiaoxi, wait for me, anyway, let's drop in and go to the book building together." Cheng Lili didn't care, and followed them in small steps.
She decided to start with the curly-haired girl next to Chu Jin to learn more about Chu Jin.
Cheng Lili took Song Qiaoxi's arm, stuck her tongue out pretendingly, and said to Song Qiaoxi in a very small voice: "Your brother is so fierce to me. Is he so fierce to you?"
"Chu Jin is really not my brother..." Song Qiaoxi was almost taken aback, trying to take her arm out of Cheng Lili's arms, but she hugged it too tightly, gave up after trying twice, and said helplessly. , "And Chu Jin is not fierce at all..."
"Oh, it seems that you are accustomed to having such a ferocious brother? Little sister, are you a bit masochistic?" Cheng Lili seemed to have not heard Song Qiaoxi's excuse at all. Said in a voice that the individual can hear.
"Don't be afraid, your brother treats you badly, your sister treats you well, you see, we are also very similar to sisters, aren't we both self-rolls?" Cheng Lili's voice increased a little, and she sounded full of emotions. Enthusiasm, like a confidant big sister.
"..." Song Qiaoxi pursed her mouth, and was affectionately held by Cheng Lili's arms, she thought of Ding Miao.
After coming to R High School, although Song Qiaoxi made some friends, they were not as close as Ding Miao.
In the courtyard of Qizhou Foreign Language and Newspaper Office, Ding Miao and himself held their arms wherever they went. They looked like Siamese babies.
Song Qiaoxi really wanted to Miaomiao.
Now, I heard Cheng Lili whispering in her ears, saying that the ramen on the first floor of the cafeteria of R Da Attached High School is delicious, the macaroni on the second floor is sweet, what are the delicious snacks near the school, McDonald’s hidden eating method, Yoshinoya What time to go with Subway without queuing...
Speaking of food, there were all kinds of sincere recommendations, and Song Qiaoxi felt a little intimacy towards Cheng Lili in vain.
Maybe Cheng Lili wanted to be friends with her and Chu Jin.
Was he narrow-minded, because Zhou Jie had a prejudice against Cheng Lili?
Chu Jin glanced at the two girls.
Cheng Lili said with flying brows, Song Qiaoxi smiled slightly and nodded sometimes.
No matter what, the two dazzling girls look like a pair of good girlfriends.
He bit his lip with a cold face, and observed quietly.
He didn't know who Cheng Lili was, and he had never dealt with her in the class.
Except for Song Qiaoxi, Chu Jin didn't take the initiative to know any girl, nor did she understand how girls make friends with them.
But Chu Jin faintly noticed that the girl named Cheng Lili looked very uncomfortable in her eyes, as if she had a strong purpose.
The three people took the bus to the Zhongguancun Book Building. Song Qiaoxi quickly picked the book according to the book list. Cheng Lili had been by her side, looking at Chu Jin who was standing next to another row of bookshelves and flipping through the books at will.
Cheng Lili asked Song Qiaoxi in a low voice: "Does your family can't afford to go abroad with two people? Will your parents be more partial to you so that you can learn the SAT to go to the United States and leave your adopted brother to go to college in China."
Song Qiaoxi's hand holding the book from the bookshelf froze in midair. Just because of the chatting about food, the degree of favorability accumulated with Cheng Lili fell to the bottom in an instant.
She frowned, turned her head and said seriously: "Cheng Lili, first, my parents have never been partial. They are equal to me and Chu Jin. They love me and Chu Jin.
Second, Chu Jin is not the adopted child of my family. He is the son of good friends of my parents. He lives in our house. Chu Jin also has relatives who love him, but it is not convenient to take care of him.
Third, I went abroad because I like photography and want to study photography in the United States. If Chu Jin's favorite major can learn more advanced knowledge abroad, then Chu Jin can also choose to study abroad. My family is not a rich family. , But the cost of studying abroad is still affordable. and......"
Song Qiaoxi wanted to repeat it again, Chu Jin was not her brother.
But looking at Cheng Lili's beautiful face and blinking innocently at her, she felt that no matter how many times she said it, Cheng Lili would not change her words.
"Forget it, you don't understand after I've said it." Song Qiaoxi shook her head. She felt that there was a high probability that she would not be friends with Cheng Lili.
At this time, she realized something was wrong.
Cheng Lili shared with her some delicious foods near the middle school attached to R, and all the remaining topics revolved around Chu Jin.
Song Qiaoxi was holding the book, and was about to find Chu Jin to check out together.
It happened that Chu Jin put down the book in his hand, took out the phone from his pocket, walked to the window to answer the phone, said a few words, and shook the phone to Song Qiaoxi.
Judging from Chu Jin's mouth, he was talking about "Aunt Qiao".
During the summer vacation of junior high school, mom and dad bought Song Qiaoxi and Chu Jin a mobile phone as a reward for entering high school. It was Sony Ericsson's K700C, a color screen mobile phone with good pixels, more than 1,000 yuan.
In the third year of junior high, Mr. Chu gave two children two new Nokia 7610s. The market price was more than 5,400 yuan.
The couple felt that it was too eye-catching for a 14- or 5-year-old child to use such an expensive mobile phone, so they returned the mobile phone to the old man and didn't let the children use it.
Because Song Qiaoxi is always careless, Song's mother usually calls Chu directly to ask for everything.
"Mom." Song Qiaoxi answered the phone by the window.
"You and you should come home early from the bookstore. Find a restaurant near your home to have dinner. Dad and I worked overtime today. It's too late to go home and can't cook for you." Mom said on the phone.
"Okay, we've already bought it. We will go home after dinner and call you when we get home." Song Qiaoxi said obediently, "Mom, pay attention to safety on the way home, bye."
Hang up the phone and return the phone to Chu Jin.
"What do you want for dinner, kid?" Chu Jin raised his eyelids, bent down and looked at Song Qiaoxi, his lips bend slightly.
"What is good to eat?" Song Qiaoxi came up with interest as soon as he mentioned eating, scratching his head, and turning on the mode of contemplation.
Cheng Lili on the side, holding a TOEFL word book in her hand, was shocked.
She stared at Chu Jin, who was usually colder than the iceberg, and smiled like a spring breeze. She looked at Song Qiaoxi with an extremely petting look, as if she understood something.
Depend on!
Chu Jin won't like Song Qiaoxi, right?
This, although these two people are not related by blood, they are also nominal brothers and sisters, right? Isn't this □□!
There is a problem with Cheng Lili, which is something she believes. No matter what outsiders say, she can't change her perception.
Cheng Lili didn't listen to what Song Qiaoxi had just said to her. She was patronizing and wondering how to make the most handsome male **** in the first grade experimental class show her favor.
Now, the problem is a bit tricky.
But Cheng Lili had already made a bet with her girlfriends, saying that she would definitely win Chu Jin. Wouldn't it be shameful if she flinched at this time?
"Let’s go to the copper pot shabu-shabu? I really want to eat sesame sauce biscuits and mutton-shabu, or lamb scorpion hot pot, but also want to eat sugar garlic, lamb with sugar garlic is the best!" Song Qiaoxi looked out the window yellowing The fallen leaves, the weather has cooled down, and it is most suitable to eat the hot lamb pot, and the whole body will be warm after eating.
Cheng Lili heard their conversation and walked quickly to the two of them. She smiled heartily, and said in a naive and delicate tone: "Song Qiaoxi, these things you want to eat are too old-fashioned, right? Girls eat. Shabu-shabu, the hair on your body will have the smell, my God, you still want to eat sugar garlic? After eating sugar garlic, your mouth is so stinky, you can smell the stinky smell two miles away! "
Song Qiaoxi frowned, her cheeks bulged, feeling ashamed and angry.
I never thought that eating sugar garlic and mutton soup was a shameful thing before. How come Cheng Lili said that it was like this?
If you eat sugar garlic together, you don't deserve to live in this world?
Or is Cheng Lili deliberately trying to make herself foolish in front of Chu Jin...
Before Song Qiaoxi could think about how to refute her, she watched Cheng Lili turned her head and said to Chu Jin: "There is a good western restaurant near here. It was opened by my uncle. I often eat there. Today I will take you and your sister. Let’s go eat together? You Qizhou, don’t you have a western restaurant?"
Cheng Lili wanted to use this to show her family background. Children from small places generally have little knowledge, and the western restaurant opened by her uncle has a good atmosphere. Cheng Lili can also show elegant western food etiquette.
Oh, the little local girl who loves sugar and garlic and the elegant beautiful girl are in front of you, it is impossible for Chu to choose the local girl who eats garlic!
"No need," Chu Jin answered Cheng Lili coldly, "We never said that we will have dinner with you, hot pot or heavy-tasting food, and there will be no taste after brushing your teeth, but some people have it in their mouths. The stench can’t be removed even after brushing the teeth many times."
Chu Jin took a stack of books from Song Qiaoxi's arms and raised his chin to her, "Go, kid, are you all ready?"
"Ah..." Song Qiaoxi saw Chu Jintong for the first time, and she was so cruel that she didn't save Cheng Lili at all. She was a little shocked, and the little chicken nodded and said like a peck of rice. "Yes, should I get all of them?"
"Give me the book list. You are always confused. I'll help you check it out again." Chu said patiently, rubbing her head, "Aren't you hungry? After buying, we will go home quickly and take you there." Eat sheep scorpion hot pot."
Cheng Lili looked at the departure of Song Qiaoxi and Chu Jin, her lungs exploded with anger.
She slammed the vocabulary book in her hand to the ground, causing the students and customers around her to look sideways. She hugged her hands on her chest and gave the people around her a look. How to fall!"
She grows up so much, let alone her parents, no one has ever dared to say something serious about her Cheng Lili!
This Chu Jin is just an orphan with no father, no mother, and no background, dare to say that her mouth smells bad? !
But Cheng Lili couldn't refute it, because Chu Jin was talking about "some people". When she refuted, didn't she admit that "some people" were herself?
Lifting her foot and kicking the TOEFL word book on the ground, Cheng Lili rolled her eyes to the sky.
However, this setback did not extinguish the small flames that ignited in Cheng Lili's chest, but instead made her find things more interesting.
snort!
Cheng Lili secretly made up her mind that she would make Chu Jin fall in love with herself, and kick him away so that the whole school could read Chu Jin's jokes.
-
After Song Qiaoxi bought the book, Chu Jin stuffed the heavy book into his bag casually, and the two took the subway home.
Because it was a bit late, I didn't go upstairs to put my schoolbags, and when I got off the subway, I went straight to the street next to the shopping mall opposite the community.
There is a Yangxiezi hot pot called Xiewangfu at the entrance of the street. Song Qiaoxi has always liked the small hemp **** and sesame sesame sesame biscuits there. The sugar and garlic marinades are also good, sweet enough and crispy, sour heads are not heavy, and it is very greasy to eat with meat.
There are winter melon and sweet potatoes in the vegetable platter. The winter melon is soft and delicious when cooked in the broth. The sweet potatoes are soft and sweet. Xi Xi also likes it.
There is also a ten-meter-long special noodles in Xiewang’s Mansion. Clean the sheep and scorpions in the pot. After the cabbage and wormwood stalks are rinsed, the noodles cooked with the fragrant soup base are the best.
The noodles have a strong mouthfeel, the elastic teeth are smooth, and the meat and juice are absorbed. It is particularly enjoyable to eat.
The dishes were ready quickly, and the two ordered a small portion of the family portrait sheep and scorpion. It took a while to "gurgle" for a while before it was delicious.
Song Qiaoxi licked her lips, although the sheep xiezi hot pot in front of her was particularly attractive.
But on the way back, the little girl kept thinking about Cheng Lili.
At this moment, she had something to say to Chu Jin.
"Chu Jin," Song Qiaoxi hesitated for a long time, and said to Chu Jin, who had just returned with sesame sesame biscuits and Xiaoma Tuan, "Then Cheng Lili, if you are in class from now on, just ignore her, okay?"
It was just the meal. There were a lot of people in the shop, and there was a loud voice. The sheep and scorpion pot also made a "gurgling" sound, and the broth was boiling.
"Huh?" Chu Jin didn't seem to hear clearly, and looked at her with inquiring eyes.
When asked this question, Song Qiaoxi felt a little nervous.
She has never spoken ill of others behind her back.
Chu Jin was only for her own sake, Cheng Lili, because she and Chu Jin were good friends who grew up together.
Just like if anyone dared to say that any member of the "Little Gang of Five" was "unsophisticated", Song Qiaoxi would stand up to protect them.
The little friends can joke whatever they want. She can laugh with Ding Miao and watch Xiaohuangman. Ding Yi will also laugh with Ding Miao that she likes HelloKitty.
But if outsiders say that theirs is not good, Song Qiaoxi is the first to refuse.
She believed that Chu Jin was also such a person.
But Cheng Lili seems to be a little targeted towards herself, and has always been a very good attitude towards Chu Jin. Moreover, Cheng Lili is really a very good-looking girl...
Ding Yi said that boys have no resistance to good-looking girls. He also said that women are not bad and men do not love...
Although Song Qiaoxi really wanted Ding Yishao to read magazines such as "Friends" and "Story Meeting".
But now she has to admit that Ding Yi's many summaries are still very sharp, and Cheng Lili is really the kind of bad girl described in the magazine.
Then, would Chu Jin have no resistance to Cheng Lili?
The sour feeling in Song Qiaoxi's heart came back again, and she even felt a little flustered, like her treasure that she had treasured for many years, suddenly changing hands to others.
It's just that admitting counseling was never her choice.
Summoning his courage, Song Qiaoxi raised her volume a little, and asked the teenager opposite through the steaming mist: "Chu Jin, can you not be friends with Cheng Lili? Will you ignore her in the class from now on?"
