There was a 20-minute break in the middle of evening self-study. Even on weekends, there was a fixed bell. 20 minutes to take a walk around, go to the bathroom, it would go by quickly.
Last week Xiao Qi had to prepare for an English speech contest, and she spent most of her ti during Saturday's evening self-study reviewing what she learned in class.
However, in the second period, as she looked at her accounting textbook, her mind kept wandering.
The photos her friend Mi'er showed her, she had actually seen that person before. She could even clearly recall his na, Li Ruisheng.
She was also having trouble distinguishing between dreams and reality.
At that ti, she had also participated in the student union, and added him on WeChat. Then they got together very quickly, as if they were made for each other. It was like passion, liking, love at first sight. She spent most of her ti with him, studying together in the evenings, sotis he would co to the old district, sotis she would go to the new district. On weekends they were always stuck together, she interacted less with roommates and classmates, her thoughts were mostly on him.
During that ti Xiao Qi actually felt happy, it felt especially beautiful.
She also beca more vain, and took more care with her appearance. A woman adorns herself for her own pleasure, so Xiao Qi at that ti must have been very pretty.
In the sumr break of their freshman year, the two broke up. Li Ruisheng said he accidentally drank too much at a classmate gathering, and slept with a female classmate, and could not betray Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi felt disgusted, like she had swallowed a fly.
The whole sumr, she was sickly at ho, coughing and running a fever the entire ti.
She didn't die, she just felt sorry for herself again. So people still don't understand life, how could they die?
Her parents didn't know she was heartbroken, they simply thought she was physically ill, and tried all kinds of redies to make her take dicine.
These scenes were vivid in her mind, as if she had truly experienced them.
She had been staring at the accounting textbook for a long ti without turning the page. Causing her friend Mi'er to curiously look over, asking: "Is that page very difficult? Xiao Qi you've been looking for so long, if even you don't understand then I definitely don't get it at all."
Xiao Qi lowered her head to look, only to find that it was the exercise page. She had already completed the exercises, she was just reviewing.
She quickly shook her head: "It's fine, I was just thinking about sothing else."
Mi'er didn't really understand what her top student deskmate was thinking. But she had no intention of studying during evening self-study, she wanted to chat with soone.
Xiao Qi felt this was the difference between Mi'er and herself. Mi'er was passionate and open, willing to confide, while she herself was inherently introverted and insecure. She didn't dare to speak, afraid to say things, keeping everything suppressed in her heart. Even when bullied, she would silently endure it herself.
"You still haven't said whether that guy is handso or not?"
"He's alright I guess, seems similar to our class monitor, not as good looking as Li Weijin though." Xiao Qi candidly replied.
Indeed, Li Ruisheng resembled their class monitor, both giving off a similar aura. Tall and sunny. Their class monitor's mother seed to hold an executive position in the district governnt or sothing.
Mi'er listened feeling this was pretty good. Li Weijin was devilishly handso, ordinary people couldn't compare. And their class monitor was so handso, that was good enough!
In their female dormitory, the class monitor was also very popular. But he had been locked down early on by the vice monitor. So everyone kept their joking to a minimum.
"I feel like I might be in love. Really. He ssages on WeChat. When he smiles at , I get blinded by the light. The chicken wings he roasts are so delicious, sweet and spicy." Mi'er whispered softly next to Xiao Qi.
Her whole face was glowing.
Xiao Qi reached out and ruffled her hair, saying: "Weren't you just saying last ti that math major senior who can take nice photos is very handso and refined? You've moved on so quickly?"
"That's different. He's a senior, a profound and tasteful type. Compared to the senior, I'm basically still a grade schooler. I admire him, but it feels different. Ah, you won't understand even if I explain it. There's just no spark. Hurry up and do your howork, stop spacing out. Finish it and let copy."
Xiao Qi: ......
She understood. Or perhaps she didn't understand.
In short, romance is a f*cked up thing. Best to avoid it, and focus on studies to improve oneself daily!
Xiao Qi presses down firmly on Mi'er's phone, saying: "Confiscated first. Do it yourself, you clearly know how.
Mi'er made complaining noises, but obediently did her howork herself. She was very smart, just a bit lazy. She swiftly finished.
Only after seeing that Mi'er was done did Xiao Qi show her own work to Mi'er to check.
In the anti, she felt Mi'er's phone buzz once under the desk, then no more buzzing.
Now Xiao Qi recalls, Li Ruisheng was very skilled at playing hard to get. He never took initiative, if you didn't reply to his ssages, he wouldn't continue to send more.
Mi'er was interested in this boy, but worshipped her deskmate even more stubbornly. After properly finishing her howork, she fished out her phone again, seeing that he had only sent one ssage, just an emoticon. Her petite face bunched up.
Clearly to her just now it felt like their chat was passionate, since she didn't reply for so long, she worried he would have sent many, many more ssages over. But surprisingly there was only the one emoticon...
She felt sohow things were not right, sothing seed off, anxious and unsure.
After evening self-study ended, Xiao Qi pulled Mi'er to go buy fruit, Yun Shu and Wei Cheng joined them too. At their age, fast tabolism, eating a lot, they still needed a late night snack to sleep.
Xiao Qi had small breasts, she kept getting recomnded to eat papaya. Actually Xiao Qi really liked eating papaya too, cheap and sweet, the local papayas were especially tasty when perfectly ripened.
Mi'er liked eating mango. And every ti she ate mango, if the mango skin touched her lips, they would beco irritated, severely even swelling up. But still, this did not diminish her love of eating mangoes.
Yun Shu was picky, buying a little of everything each ti.
Wei Cheng was like Xiao Qi eating papaya, although she was very busty, papaya was the cheapest...
In fact, life's little details can separate groups.
While buying fruit together, they happened to run into Li Weijin who was back from playing basketball, breathing a little hard from running. He nodded in greeting upon seeing Xiao Qi and the others.
He had co to buy water. Seeing Su Xiaoshi, he seed a bit embarrassed. He always had an icy cold face, even after playing ball and exercising, still giving off no hot blooded feeling.
But at this mont he actually walked over and opened his mouth saying: "Su Xiaoshi, congratulations on winning the English speech contest finals, giving our class more glory. What fruit are you buying? Let treat you guys."
Xiao Qi and the others were just about to pay. Xiao Qi didn't buy much, just one chunk of papaya, 20 cents.
Wei Cheng's was 30 cents. Mi'er's mango was $5.6. Yun Shu bought the most, $39 total.
The total didn't even reach $50.
"No need, we've already bought our own." Xiao Qi directly refused. Swiping WeChat together, she instead paid for Li Weijin's water.
Holding a bottle of water, Li Weijin had intended to buy cold water, but Su Xiaoshi gave him bottled room temperature water instead. Just having played basketball, hot and sweaty, drinking room temperature water also felt nice and cool.
This was the first ti, it wasn't him treating others, but soone else buying sothing for him instead, even if it was just an ordinary bottle of mineral water.
Drinking the water Su Xiaoshi handed him, the water flowing down his throat entering his body, his clavicle felt hot again.
Xiao Qi and the girls returned to their dorm. Along the way, the chanical voice rang out by her ear again: "Host graciously treated classmates to drinks, giving the self-absorbed classmate who loves only himself so warmth and positive energy, allowing him to experience the feeling of initial sprouts of affection 2. Rewarding host with refined temperant 1."
