Falling Heart

Chapter 23
"Then... what should I do then?" Shen Qing didn't dare to move, and tightly clenched the hand holding the edge of the table.

Xie Mingchao raised his hand and shook it in front of her eyes, "Can you see the shadow?"

She nodded in a daze, and then realized that he couldn't see it, and responded in a weak voice: "I can see it."

"Grab me."

Shen Qing had never felt that his voice was so pleasant, and with a few strokes, she grasped the only fulcrum in the darkness.

It's just that the place where she caught it was different from what she expected.

She always knew that Xie Mingchao's hands were beautiful, but she never thought that the texture would be as smooth as cold jade.

His hand is not the same as the temperament of not being close to strangers, but it reveals a soothing warmth.

Shen Qing squeezed subconsciously, this feeling... I really want to keep it and hold it every day!
Her perverted thoughts had just sprouted, but Xie Mingchao's sarcasm killed them in time.

"You really have the potential to be a pervert."

"sorry!"

Shen Qing immediately touched up, and the little nostalgia just now was completely wiped out.

Xie Mingchao led her forward and stopped at the corner.

Relying on his memory, he opened the messy homework pile and found the landline at the bottom.Press it once, and the button lights up.

"It's still useful," Shen Qing heaved a sigh of relief, relying on the faint light to dial Li Xin's phone number, and as soon as the other side connected, her voice unconsciously aggrieved, "Aunt Li, I'm stuck in the school The office is here, come and save me!"

Xie Mingchao raised his brows lightly when he heard her voice that was different from her usual one.

"Qingqing?" Li Xin had been waiting at home for her to leave school, but there was still no one at ten o'clock, and when she was anxiously waiting to call the police, she felt relieved when she heard her voice, "Wait, I'll be there right away. "

"It's great, it's saved!"

Shen Qing hung up the phone, and immediately wanted to share her excitement with Gong Xiaoxiao, so she instinctively rubbed her arms that she hadn't let go.

The person next to her almost gritted her teeth and read her name: "Shen, Qing."

She let go of her hand as if she was facing a big enemy, and subconsciously backed away, knocking against the edge of the table with her full back, the pain caused her physiological tears to fly.

The enamel jar on the table shook a few times, making a crisp sound.

Shen Qing clutched her waist, "Hiss, it hurts."

Xie Mingchao had a bad impression of her change, and the sarcasm couldn't be concealed in his sneer, "Is it uncomfortable if you don't take advantage of it?"

She only cared about her waist, and didn't pay attention to his words at all.The back pain seems to be worse than before.

The lights in the office suddenly turned on, and Li Xin, who was full of nervousness, froze when he saw the scene in front of him.

Shen Qing leaned against the table, the corners of her eyes were red, and there was still water vapor in the eye sockets, her mouth was tightly pursed as if wronged and sad.

Xie Mingchao was leaning against the wall with a gloomy expression, his eyes drooping a little restlessly.

When he saw the mist in her eyes clearly, the disdain in his heart was instantly replaced by guilt and irritability.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you," Xie Mingchao frowned, and his tone softened, "Don't cry."

Shen Qing was still feeling sorry for her waist, but when she heard his sudden apology, she raised her head in a daze: "Ah?"

"Qingqing!"

Li Xin thought it was this well-behaved boy who bullied Shen Qing, so he walked over and pulled Shen Qing behind him.

"You look like a human, why do you still bully girls?"

Shen Qing had never seen Li Xin, who was always soft-spoken, accuse others in such an aggressive tone, and was a little at a loss for a while.

Xie Mingchao thought he was the one who made Shen Qing cry, so he kept silent, which was regarded as tacit consent.

"Aunt Li, don't be impulsive." Seeing that Li Xin had already rolled up her sleeves as if she was going to fight, Shen Qing hurriedly grabbed her, "I bumped myself into the table and cried in pain."

"Really?" Li Xin looked at her dubiously, lowered her voice and asked, "Isn't it because he is the type of manga hero you like that you want to protect him?"

Shen Qing shook her head, "No, it's really my own problem."

If she hadn't forgotten that the person next to her was not Gong Xiaoxiao, she wouldn't have been frightened into bumping into him with a warning.

Wang Jianguo's legs and feet are inconvenient, so he just rushed to the door.When Li Xin asked him to get the key of the teaching building, he took it out and was snatched away, so he could only chase after her all the way.

When he saw Shen Qing's face, he gasped in surprise: "Aren't you that female hooligan who harassed Xiao Xie?"

Shen Qing: ... Can these three words pass?
Li Xin shifted the focus to Wang Jianguo again, "You are quite old, why are you still slandering a little girl for nothing?"

Wang Jianguo looked at Xie Mingchao, "Ask Xiao Xie if you don't believe me!"

The latter casually raised his eyelids, meeting Li Xin's increasingly annoyed gaze.

"Aunt Li, I can explain the title!" Thinking of her embarrassment just now, Shen Qing just wanted to leave here.

She eagerly took Li Xin's hand, looked at Xie Mingchao, and asked his opinion: "Student Xie, shall we go together tomorrow?"

Xie Mingchao nodded lightly, "Yes."

Li Xin felt a strong sense of crisis, "Why are you still with this kid?"

"I'll explain to you when I get back." Shen Qing smiled at Wang Jianguo when he passed by, "Goodbye, uncle."

Before Wang Jianguo had time to ask her name, she quickly dragged Li Xin away.

He coughed twice, "Xiao Xie, you were in a mess just now, that girl... the little girl didn't bully you, did she?"

Xie Mingchao went out after tidying up the desktop, and said in a distant voice, "It should be said that I bullied her."

Wang Jianguo did not respond: "What?"

Back home, Li Xin stood in front of the sofa with a spatula in hand, condescendingly looking down at Shen Qing who was sitting properly.

"Qingqing, you don't have to study hard, but you can't fall in love early."

There was no guilt in her voice: "Aunt Li, I have no puppy love."

Li Xin knew that Shen Qing was always honest in front of him, so he relaxed, "Then why are you so flirtatious with that kid?"

ambiguous?It is clearly murderous!
"I'm just a classmate with him," Shen Qing reassured repeatedly, "We will definitely not fall in love early!"

"If I find out that you are in love," Li Xin tapped the spatula warningly, "I will sue your mother."

Shen Qing was very sad, "Aunt Li, you clearly said that you would maintain a united front with me!"

"That's based on what you heard from Lulu," Li Xin smiled, but Shen Qing felt threatened from her smile, "Actually, I'm your mother's best friend."

"I'm just talking about how the temperament of hiding the knife in the smile is exactly the same..."

"Originally, I didn't want to leave my high-paying job in country B and come back, but when I heard that I was taking care of you, I flew back overnight." Li Xin pinched Shen Qing's face, "You are still as beautiful as when you were a child, But she was still cute before, but now she looks too out of character."

Shen Qing: "You're not implicating me, are you?"
