Our youth is over

Chapter 14 The Death of Qiqi (1)
"I curse them with all the happiness of the rest of my life, this life is not happy."

Not long after returning home, Jiang Chengrui called, and the guy yelled anxiously inside: "Xiao Bei, don't tell Qi Qinghan about me, I don't want her to bother me."

I managed to adjust my mood and was brought down again, and shouted into the phone: "Come on, you have broken people's hearts, and you are worried that people will come to see you, you really think Qiqi is so cheap, Still can't let you go? Don't take yourself too seriously, Qiqi is not as boring as you think."

"It's best for her to let go! Who cares!" Jiang Chengrui replied angrily.

I pressed the phone hard and threw the phone on the bed angrily, ignoring him.

Because Xiao Jiang was hospitalized, she asked the school for several days off, and she didn't even catch up with the midterm exam.The group of brats who followed him in the class were envious of Xiao Jiang's blessing in disguise. Not only did he often have beauties taking care of him while lying in the hospital, but he also escaped a severe exam.I just lamented that without Xiao Jiang Pad behind me, I had to go up one place from the bottom of the ranking.

I took the test for three days in a row, and on the last day, I took the English test in the afternoon, and it ended at three o'clock. The school was so kind, and I didn't have to take the remaining few sessions, so I just came to the evening self-study.

When I went back early, I also listened to my mother nagging, so I thought about whether to go to a small shop outside the school.Thinking about who to go with, I saw Qiqi, whom I hadn’t seen for a few days, wearing a big skull sweater and a pair of denim shorts. It’s autumn, and she still has two slender white legs, leaning against the back door of our classroom and laughing. He waved to me.

I went up to meet him, my eyes narrowed from laughing, and I shouted, "Qiqi, why are you here?"

Qiqi smiled with dimples, and put her hands on my shoulders naturally: "I can't come to you if I have nothing to do! There is a Taiwanese milk tea shop in Ximen, I heard it's delicious, I'll take you there to eat."

When I heard about the food, I naturally became excited and agreed.Go to the stairs with Qiqi, and meet Wang Hu and the others who haven't gone downstairs yet.Seeing Qi Qi, those boys laughed very narrowly, and habitually teased her: "Qi Qinghan, it's been a while since I saw you run to our class, even if Jiang Chengrui has a girlfriend, you don't have to be so cold Come play with us or Bei Yinan!"

Qiqi pursed her lips and smiled, but didn't answer.

Xiao Jiang's followers are just like their boss, they are blind masters, they can't see that we don't want to talk to them, they just talk to themselves, they look very familiar, and continue talking with Qiqi, the more they talk, the more outrageous they are along the way , Just talking and talking about Xiao Jiang's hospitalization.

"Qi Qinghan, do you know that Xiao Jiang was stabbed for his girlfriend last Saturday, and she is still lying in the hospital. She said she bumped into a gangster suddenly, but I don't think it's that simple! My cousin came to my house last week and said There is an incident, her junior high school, Lu Xia, Lin Zhishen, and the No. [-] High School attached here where He Yebei attended in our school. Lin Zhishen is also He Yebei's cousin, and He Perak's nephew, who is the boss of Donghai High School. The very open one is very famous in this area. Everyone in the school knew that he was chasing Lu Xia in junior high school, and they were still together later. My cousin didn’t hear that they broke up, but I heard that Lu Xia hooked up with us Xiao Jiang, I was very shocked. The most shocking thing is that Lin Zhishen was also besieged last week. I heard that something happened to his father and provoked some people. Why do you say that as soon as Lin Zhishen was beaten, Lu Xia met again? Hooligan. I wondered if someone wanted to deal with Lin Zhishen, and then they knew that Lu Xia was Lin Zhishen's girlfriend, so they wanted to attack her, but our Xiao Jiang bumped into her, and it was a waste of time!"

"You young and Dangerous boy, you've seen too much! It's so mysterious! Jiang Chengrui was not stabbed by a knife, you exaggerated it!" Wang Hu patted the boy's head disapprovingly and said.

The man held his head and yelled back at Wang Hu angrily: "What are you doing beating my head? I'm also worried about Xiao Jiang! If Xiao Jiang chooses Qi Qi instead of Lu Xia, there is no such thing as today. Qi Qi is so powerful, she can't settle any of the troubles we encountered before. But what about Lu Xia? She looks so weak that she always causes trouble. Who is really so cruel to stab people like ordinary students? In this way, it must be on the right track. You said that there are so many people on the street, Lu Xia is considered beautiful, but there must be someone more beautiful than her, why is she being molested when other people don't see hooligans molesting her, there must be something wrong with this matter!"

There was a lot of noise in my ears, only the sound of Wang Hu arguing with others.My mind was buzzing, and it was difficult to digest what the classmate said.

Lin Zhishen and Lu Xia have been together?Is he still He Yebei's cousin?I always feel that if this is true, the relationship here could make a bloody drama.

I subconsciously raised my head and glanced at Qiqi, she was still casually walking forward without expressing any opinion on this matter.

Such a quiet Qiqi made me feel a little flustered, I couldn't help opening my mouth and asked Qiqi: "Do you think what he said is true?"

Qiqi looked at me, and smiled with the corners of her mouth bent: "This matter has nothing to do with me."

I opened my mouth dryly and was stunned for a while, unable to speak.Soon, I was relieved, thinking about it too, whether it's true or not, what's the matter with Guan Qiqi.

Look, classmate Xiao Jiang is acting affectionate again, and even makes such disgusting phone calls, thinking that Qiqi will feel worried and go to see him and bother him when she knows it.Tch, I told you right, Qiqi is not that boring.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help feeling complacent. I took a peek at Qiqi's delicate side face and saw the indifferent expression on her face. I felt as if I had been poured cold water, and I couldn't be happier anymore.

In the past, I told Qi Qi countless times to not like Xiao Jiang, let her give up on Xiao Jiang, and hoped that she would be freed from the rotten tree of Xiao Jiang countless times, but when this day really came, Qi Qi would never give up on Xiao Jiang. It's not like what I'm familiar with, caring so much about Xiao Jiang, when I support him and protect him without self-esteem and shame, I actually feel sad in my heart.

I finally realized that I actually liked the image of the three of us in the past.Qiqi clings to Xiao Jiang, Xiao Jiang arrogantly ignores her, and occasionally indulges her to cling to her a few times, clearly saying that she doesn't like her and finds her annoying, but she often mentions Qiqi to me involuntarily.

Once this picture disappears, I feel so sad that I want to cry.

Unknowingly, she had already walked out of the west school gate, but Qiqi suddenly stopped in her tracks.

"Xiao Bei, I met an acquaintance, you go to the opposite side to buy food first, I will come as soon as I go."

Qiqi said, habitually taking money out of my pocket to give me money, I put my hand behind and didn't answer it, and looked at her angrily: "Qiqi, can you stop being like Xiao Jiang and always treat me like a child. It's not that I don't have money, why don't you let me spend money every time you go out with me, I'm so old."

Qiqi's hand holding the money froze in mid-air, her expression was a little embarrassed, she suddenly laughed again, she forced the money into my hand, and said forcefully: "No matter how old I am, I'm still a brat in my eyes, I've always kept You are my younger sister. Xiao Bei, you go first."

Unable to resist Qiqi, I walked up to the zebra crossing and crossed the road helplessly with the money, then stuffed Qiqi's money into my pocket, holding my wallet in my hand.

In the past, whenever Qi Qi invited me to eat, I would tell Xiao Jiang that I wanted to promote Qi Qi's goodness and make Xiao Jiang treat others better, but I would always be scolded by Xiao Jiang for being worthless, and soon I would hear Xiao Jiang Jiang Sao yelled, "Xiao Bei, brother treats you to dinner, if you want Qi Qinghan to be with you, let her be with you."

At first, I thought that Xiao Jiang had a lot of money and recharged a lot of money, but later I found out that he was actually using this method to repay Qi Qi's kindness to me in a disguised form.

From childhood to adulthood, in fact, Xiao Jiang has always regarded me as his younger sister, and Qiqi likes him, so he habitually regards me as his younger sister, so both of them treat me very well.But how can Qiqi not see what I can see.Qiqi likes this, because she can spend more time with Xiao Jiang.I like this too, I can eat and drink all the time.Xiao Jiang also likes this, and can often get an inexplicable sense of self-esteem by beating Qi Qi.

Later, I habitually accepted Qiqi's doting on me, and Qiqi habitually accepted Xiao Jiang's "compensation". This kind of relationship made me depend on Qiqi, and Qiqi also became dependent on Xiao Jiang.

But this seemingly quarreling, but actually very harmonious way of getting along was broken by Xiao Jiang.

I once thought that Qi Qi and Xiao Jiang would continue to entangle like this, until after a long time, Xiao Jiang finally got tired and found that he actually liked Qi Qi.

What a beautiful imagination, only naive me would think so.

Across the road, I turned back to look for Qi Qi.

I can always find Qiqi in the crowd at a glance, what a striking girl she is, so beautiful, so flamboyant, and so individual, but why can't Xiao Jiang see it.

I watched Qiqi go through the crowds and walked towards the intersection [-] meters away, watched her stop in front of a boy in white and black pants, and watched them leave side by side and merge into the afterglow of the setting sun.The picture is beautiful but painful, just because the boy standing beside Qiqi is not Xiao Jiang.

After coming out of the milk tea bar, Qiqi couldn't be found all the way, and no one answered her cell phone.I went back to school with two cups of hot milk tea in a bit of despair, put Qiqi's cup in her classroom, and then rode home alone for dinner.

It's rare that school is over early, and I can go back in time to eat the braised pork knuckles made by my mother.

For a long time afterwards, I kept asking myself why I was hungry that day, and I knew to eat instead of looking for Qiqi along the way.If I look for it, maybe I can catch her and Lin Zhishen talking about something, maybe I can stop them from interacting, maybe... Qiqi will be fine.

That night, I had a dream, dreaming that Qiqi was lying in a pool of blood, wearing a long white dress that she had never worn before, she looked very pure, like the fairy that Xiao Jiang loved, except that under her body The crimson blood splattered solidly on me.Not long after, the person lying in the pool of blood became blurred, like Qiqi, but also like me, after a while, he looked like no one, very strange.

I was so frightened that I couldn't help crying. I always felt that no matter who the girl lying in the pool of blood was, the scene was horrifying.

In the end, I was crying but couldn't wake up. I was shaken awake by my mother who was sweating all over. My mother looked at me nervously and said, "Xiao Bei, why are you 'big aunt' messing with the bed again."

I stared blankly at the dirty sheet that my mother pulled out, speechless and tired.

I took painkillers, drank brown sugar water, and finally fell asleep in my mother's arms. I didn't continue to dream, but my sleep was very restless.

On the day Xiao Jiang was discharged from the hospital, the mid-term exam scores came out, and the other scores were within my expected range, but physics was much better than I expected, with an 82.When He Pili reported the score, he even praised me in front of the whole class, feeling neither good nor bad.

This is all thanks to He Yebei. If he hadn't helped me make up the lessons for so long, I would definitely not be able to pass this test.Therefore, after school that day, I hurried to the senior three teaching building to find He Yebei.I thought it happened to be Friday, and I didn’t study late at night, so I was going to invite him to dinner to express my thanks, but as soon as I ran downstairs in the third year of high school, I saw a text message from Xiao Jiang.I don't need to look at people, just by looking at the text, I can imagine Jiang Chengrui's cheap and embarrassing appearance when he sent that text message.

"Xiao Bei, brother, I'm discharged from the hospital. Tonight, my dad held a banquet on the tripod to celebrate my discharge. Come here with your parents! We have invited a lot of friends. After we finish eating, we can sing K together!"

I curled my lips, I really don't understand why Jiang Chengrui is so happy.He got into trouble with gangsters, was injured and hospitalized, there was nothing worth promoting, and he had to throw a big banquet to celebrate.

Although it is really a good thing to be discharged from the hospital.

I cursed in my heart, and went back to the past without stopping.

"It depends."

Sure enough, after staying with He Yebei for a long time, I became arrogant when I spoke.

Jiang Chengrui didn't reply, and immediately called over in a hurry. As soon as he got connected, he heard him roaring over there: "Bei Yinan, if you don't come, we will break up our friendship! The friendship of more than ten years will be cut off!"

"Are you singing? You're still breaking up with me, and you're breaking it off! I'm busy tonight, so I probably won't be able to go. You have a mixed bag of mermaids and dragons, and most of your peers are boys who play with you. I'm just a girl and I'm just messing around."

"You're the only girl, Lu Xia is here too! You play with her!"

"No. Anyway, let's talk about it. If you want to go, I will tell you in advance."

Hanging up the phone, I went upstairs to He Yebei's classroom to find someone, only to find that the whole building of the third year of high school was very quiet, and I hardly ran into anyone along the way.After looking at the time, I realized that the school hadn't reached the normal end of school time, and the third year of high school hadn't ended yet.

I peeked at the back door of He Yebei's classroom. Like other classes, He Yebei's class is also studying by themselves, and there is not even a teacher in the classroom.

He Yebei is very conspicuous everywhere, I found him in the middle of the classroom at a glance.That person has always been calm and unhurried, while the others are anxiously doing the questions, while he is leisurely turning his pen and reading a book.The person next to him grabbed his paper and went to copy it, so he just glanced at it casually and let it be disposed of.

Probably because he felt the strange breath from the window, a boy by the window suddenly raised his head and glanced at me. When he saw that it was me, his face was obviously relieved, he patted his chest, stretched his head, and asked me in a low voice : "Who are you looking for?"

"He Yebei." I lip-synced.

The man glanced at me in surprise, then pushed his deskmate, who saw me, smiled, then got up, walked to He Yebei's seat, patted him, and pointed in my direction, with a very serious expression on his face. ambiguous.

I felt weakly that the boy looked familiar, and after thinking about it for a while, I suddenly remembered that that person was the one who laughed at me with He Yebei in the cafeteria the day I was kicked out of the laboratory by the teacher last time.

When I looked up at He Yebei again, I happened to meet his eyes.

He frowned again.

I regret it a little, I shouldn't have come to He Yebei so recklessly.But after the midterm exam, the make-up classes also came to an end, and I haven't seen He Yebei since then.

The third year of senior high school is really not so busy, and it is almost impossible to meet them.

A large group of people in the classroom cast their eyes on me, I grinned awkwardly, moved my feet a little, and wanted to get away with some spinelessness, at this time He Yebei stood up from his seat and walked away expressionlessly. go outside.

"looking for me?"

His voice is not loud, but it is particularly oppressive.

I looked at him in embarrassment, and said with a smirk: "Well, our midterm exam scores came out, I got 82 in physics, I want to tell you, and then, thank you very much for helping me make up lessons..."

Before I finished speaking, the bell rang for the end of get out of class, and a group of people rushed from the classroom to the corridor, some laughed and some looked at us.

I stood at the door and was knocked away when I came out. If He Yebei hadn't reached out and grabbed the straps of my overalls, I would have thrown myself in public.

"My dad told me about your score a long time ago, but I've been too busy recently, so I forgot for a while. I'm going to go back to my grandpa's house in the country with my mom later. I can't treat you to dinner tonight. Let's try another day."

"Eh? You want to invite me to dinner?" I was surprised, and suddenly remembered what He Yebei said jokingly at McDonald's that day, and suddenly realized, as if afraid of misunderstanding, I quickly explained, "I didn't ask you to invite me to dinner, I want to invite you!"

"Whatever, you go back first, we'll talk about it another day." He Yebei let go of his hand, looked around at the students who were unwilling to leave, and said a little impatiently.

Being stared at by so many people felt very uncomfortable, and I didn't want to stay any longer. After He Yebei finished speaking, I nodded and ran away.

Since he's not free, I'd better eat at Xiao Jiang's today.

My mother had been waiting for me at the entrance of the hotel a long time ago. When she saw me coming, she scolded me for being late and the dinner was already open, and then directly pulled me to sit at her table.I happened to be hungry, so I didn't bother to look for Jiang Chengrui, so I picked up the chopsticks and ate it.

During the dinner, Uncle Jiang came over to toast, and I took a break.

While eating, my dad suddenly asked me if the test scores came out.There were people I didn't know at the table, and I felt very embarrassed to say the score, but under my father's coercion, I answered honestly.I have always known what kind of material I am. My dad didn't have any expectations of me. He should be satisfied with my test scores this time, so I can see the smile on his face.It's ridiculous, but because of the presence of other people, my dad still scolded me, pretending to be disgusted and said that this is the only way to take the test, and give me a few more points next time.

I secretly rolled my eyes at him, trying to save face for nothing.Sure enough, when the score was mentioned, the other uncles and aunts at the table became excited and started chatting about the children.

Every dinner, what I dislike the most is this kind of scene, especially boring, a bunch of people gather together to brag and show off.

I told my mother that I was going to find Xiao Jiang, but the adults didn't stop me, so they let me go.

Jiang Chengrui sat at another table with his parents and several relatives. When they saw me from a distance, they got up and walked towards me.

"Xiao Bei, are you full? Let's change places to play in a while." Jiang Chengrui said with a familiar hand on my shoulder.

I didn't reply to him, but subconsciously searched for Lu Xia's figure, but I didn't see it. I was a little surprised and said, "Your girlfriend didn't come?"

"Lu Xia said that he couldn't come because of something at home." Jiang Chengrui helped explain.

I curled my lips, looking at Xiao Jiang's blissful look, I couldn't help but think of the back view of Qi Qi and others leaving side by side in the evening, and wanted to tell Xiao Jiang that Qi Qi and Lin Zhishen had left, but after thinking about it, I forgot , Said for sure and felt blocked again.

If Jiang Chengrui is willing to listen to me, things will not turn out like this.

Xiao Jiang also invited his other playmates, and after eating, they all came to our side.A few of them were from our class, and they yelled at me "Sister Xiaobei, Sister Xiaobei" as soon as they came up, and they were very annoyed.

It was rare for so many people to get together, and the adults didn't object to us going out to play. When we left, they only asked Xiao Jiang and the other boys to take care of me and the other girls, and didn't say much else.

They must have prepared the money for the game in advance.

Those girls are relatives of Xiao Jiang's family, and I don't know them well. As for the boys, I don't want to play with them, so I don't really want to go.But my mother was more excited than anyone else at the moment, she insisted on stuffing me into Xiao Jiang's arms, and Aunt Jiang also stood aside and said, "Xiao Bei, help me look at Xiao Jiang."

I'm helpless, haven't they all seen Lu Xia in the hospital?Knowing that Xiao Jiang likes Lu Xia, why do you want to match us.
