Falling Heart

Chapter 42 Are You in Puppy Love?

Shen Qing held the re-bought Coke and bit on the straw. Xie Mingchao just glanced sideways, and she covered her hands defensively, staring at him vigilantly.

"I drank it, I advise you not to worry about it."

He tutted out a chuckle, "It doesn't mean that."

Very familiar line.

She thought about it for a few seconds, and realized that this sentence was the first time they met, Xie Mingchao mocked her for not seeing enough dialogue.

Subtle emotions are thrown into the lake like stones, causing ripples.

Shen Qing blinked, and suppressed the sudden throbbing in her heart, "Why did you know I would go to the basketball court?"

"Intuition." Xie Mingchao stood by the wall with one hand in his pocket, his tall and straight figure attracted many passing girls to turn their heads.

He pushed down the brim of his hat, covering his chin tightly.

The dog's jawline is clearer than her life plan, but it's gone now.

She withdrew her eyes in disappointment, and the strength of biting the straw unconsciously increased.

After the person in front of him passed by, Xie Mingchao continued, "Your mind is easy to guess, and you like to watch the excitement."

Shen Qing self-doubtingly took a photo of the blurred reflection of the can, is it so obvious?

How long has it been since she can't hide her true nature?

"Are you very familiar with the Sports Committee, and you actually persuaded him to come out and find me?"

He glanced at her coke can, it was obvious that it had been sucked dry, and he was still sucking on it stubbornly.

"In exchange for today's science homework answer."

"The price is really heavy." Shen Qing frowned in confusion, "What should I do if I was caught by the teacher?"

"Even if it is discovered, only the sports committee will be punished." Xie Mingchao said as he took the can of Coke away, and threw it into the trash can across the stairs, falling into it with precision.

What a dog, I feel distressed for three seconds.

Seeing that he was not in a hurry to go back to the classroom, Shen Qing asked: "Is there no class this morning?"

"Three or four classes were requisitioned by the basketball game, but we ended early, so the rest of the time was free for activities."

Seeing her surprised expression, he ruthlessly extinguished her fantasy: "Use the first quarter's evening self-study."

The fourth class is chemistry, which Shen Qing hates the most. The teacher is a stubborn old man who has passed his destiny.

Whenever she dozed off and closed her eyes for more than a second, he would step off the stage himself and stand beside her to give a lecture.

Shen Qing even wanted to hold an umbrella to class, because he was always in high spirits and spitting all over his lectures.

She has always been forced to keep her spirits up in chemistry class, and some of the knowledge that never stays in her mind has been left behind after listening too much.

At least she memorized the chemical equation of potassium permanganate to produce oxygen, and she gained one more point for filling in the blanks.

Shen Qing was still a sunflower blooming towards the sun one second, and the next second was like an eggplant beaten by frost, so she drooped her head.

Xie Mingchao saw it, and the corners of his lips slightly lifted.

Sure enough, he looked pleasing to the eye when he didn't hide himself.

She was down for a moment and then regained her spirits, "How did you escape the clutches of the devil?"

He replied calmly, "Let them go."

Shen Qing wanted to give him a thumbs up: you have to be ruthless.

Xie Mingchao raised his wrist and looked at the time, "Are you eating?"

When she heard the word eat, her eyes sparkled, "Eat, eat, eat!"

Then I remembered that Li Xin said that there was her favorite braised pork at noon today, and the light dimmed again.

"I have to go home and eat."

"You can eat some snacks to cushion your stomach."

Shen Qing kicked the pebbles at her feet, and said in a low voice, "Can't you get out of the school gate before school time?"

"I'm familiar with Uncle Wang, it's a matter of a word," Xie Mingchao straightened up, and turned to look at her after going down two steps, "Let's go?"

She jumped down the stairs in two or three steps, "Let's go!"

"Good afternoon, Uncle Wang."

Wang Jianguo responded with a smile: "Xiao Xie so early today?"

When he saw Shen Qing poking his head out behind him, his smile faded, and he snorted coldly: "You encouraged Xiao Xie to leave early?"

Shen Qing: "Uncle, don't you want to be so double-standard?"

"I was the one who took the lead to leave early." Xie Mingchao moved a step to the side, blocking Wang Jianguo's sight, "I have to trouble Uncle Wang to keep it secret."

Reluctantly, Wang Jianguo pressed the switch on the school gate's railing, "For Xiao Xie's sake, I naturally won't say anything about it."

After Shen Qing left the school, she turned her head and made a face at Wang Jianguo.

Wang Jianguo was so angry that he almost smashed the table, "Smelly shameless!"

Shen Qing followed Xie Mingchao for a while and found that the direction was wrong, "Isn't this the way to the snack street?"

Xie Mingchao walked straight to the opposite direction of the back street, "There are many students in No. [-] Middle School over there, so they are easy to be recognized. Let's change to another place today."

She fumbled in her pocket and took out a coin purse.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw several red photos of Grandpa Mao inside, and his eyelids twitched.

"You are quite rich."

Shen Qing pinched the banknotes and wanted to take them out, "Fortunately, I only brought three hundred."

Xie Mingchao held her hand and pressed down, "Don't reveal the money, if you don't want to be watched by others, just keep it."

He had obviously played a game of basketball, but his palm was as cold as if it had been soaked in a freezer.

She forgot to withdraw her hand for a while, but quickly took back the warmth.

Shen Qing zipped up the change bag in a daze, "Oh good."

Xie Mingchao took her to a barbecue restaurant, and the boss greeted him enthusiastically when he saw him: "Yo, Xiao Xie is here, this time there is another girl beside me?"

Shen Qing looked at him suspiciously: "Have you brought other girls here?"

Xie Mingchao was noncommittal, and sat down at the low table in front of the shop.

The boss asked cheerfully, "What do you want to eat?"

He ordered familiarly: "Same as last time, half the amount."

"okay."

Sensing Shen Qing's scrutinizing gaze, Xie Mingchao lazily raised his eyes, "What are you looking at me for?"

She leaned forward, lowered her voice and asked, "Hey, are you in love early?"

Xie Mingchao: ...

"You think too much."

The boss came over with a plate of mutton skewers, and his eyes never left Shen Qing.

"This time, this one is more willing to show his face than last time." The boss suddenly moved closer to Xie Mingchao, and smiled gossipingly, "Your eyes are quite good, kid."

Xie Mingchao met Shen Qing's burning eyes, and replied quietly: "The one last time...is my sister."

He still decided to hide his mother-son relationship with Chen Ziwan from outsiders.

Shen Qing looked back disappointed, it turned out to be his beautiful and young mother.

The boss also shook his head in disappointment, and went back to the stall to bake the rest.

She asked curiously: "Xie Mingchao, is that young aunt really your real mother? Isn't it a stepmother? For example, the kind where you abducted a wealthy stepmother and were hunted down by your biological father all over the city?"

Xie Mingchao: ...

He took off his hat, stroked the broken hair on his forehead, and said calmly, "It's my own. Do I want to show you a paternity test?"

"Oh, what a pity."

Shen Qing really felt sorry.

Xie Mingchao: "What strange things do you usually watch?"

"Are you interested too? I can lend you my manga!"

He pressed the center of his eyebrows with a headache, "Not interested."
