crimson greed

There was silence at the table for a while, and the air seemed to freeze.

Fei Li withdrew her hand dryly, looked at her indifferent little face, and said inexplicably, "Are you really all right?"

"Hmm." Qiao Yan drooped her eyelashes, like a piece of ice that made it difficult to get close to, as if an enchantment was automatically formed around her body, keeping others out of her domain.

Qi Xue took Fei Li's arm, "A Li, don't worry too much, children don't like adults who are so talkative like you."

"That's right." Fei Li bit her lips in disappointment, then turned to smile at Qi Xue.

Every move fell into Qiao Yan's pupils, and those jet-black pupils constricted, turning into silent disgust and indifference.

She is almost greedy for every smile of hers, and she is attached to every movement of hers, but she can't compare to Qi Xue's words.

Fei Li picked up a piece of chicken wing for Qi Xue, looked at the little figure in the corner with his head hanging from time to time, and shifted his faint eyes to her white and slender neck, which was soaked in milk, floating from the depth of the collar. A faint milky fragrance.Her earlobes are small and soft, with thin and thin hairs floating, clean and lovely.

"Yanyan." She called her softly.

Qiao Yan raised her black and white eyes and tilted her head.

"Don't forget to tell me if you feel unwell."

"I'm fine." Qiao Yan picked up the knife and fork again, and cut the steak she didn't like, the taste was too heavy for her liking.

Qi Xue has always liked this kind of western food, which looks a little more solemn, but Qiao Yan would rather stay at home and eat a bowl of boiled noodles with Fei Li than sit here and eat such an expensive western food.

The whole meal was spent amidst their laughter, and Qiao Yan was very uncomfortable during the meal, even with stomach throbbing pain.

She was sitting on the seat, waiting for Fei Li, who was going to pay the bill, to glance at Qi Xue who was sitting opposite.

Feeling her gaze, Qi Xue smiled and said, "Don't you like this place?"

She said kindly, "This place is not suitable for me and Feili."

"Not suitable... what do you mean?"

"A meal here is nearly 1000. Fei Li is not a rich woman or a rich lady. She simply cannot afford such an expensive meal. If it weren't for you..." Qiao Yan didn't want to say this at all, she was too lazy to talk to this woman. Thinking about every detail, thinking of Fei Li's sunken little wallet made her feel very uncomfortable. This meal can supply them with food for a month.

Qi Xue looked straight at her, "Does it have anything to do with me? I mean little brat, do you know what kind of relationship we have?"

Qiao Yan hugged the water glass and continued to drink water without interest, suppressing the nausea in her belly, "It doesn't matter to me what you have to do, and it doesn't matter to you what to do with us."

"You, do you know that when you are in love, you have to enjoy life and enjoy the pleasure brought by high-end clubs?"

"..."

"Having a candlelight dinner with the person you like, blending into the comfort of the night, what a happy thing, and high-end restaurants, bars, and banquets can make you shine." Qi Xue looked sweetly with her chin propped Looking at her, he continued: "You are still young, so naturally you don't understand these fun."

Qiao Yan touched the corners of her lips disdainfully, and said in a green voice: "This kind of blood-selling consumption concept makes me willing to leave with Feili. Instead of eating blood and steak here, it's better to eat a bowl of noodles at home. You Maybe there are naive and romantic young ladies like you in my circle, but Fei Li is different. Her life is not easy, and she saves money little by little. She comes just because you like it. In short, please respect her She is better, she is working hard, many things are not as bright as you see, your honey, her □□.”

Qi Xue was unable to react to what she said. In her mind, love is to pursue romance, and to seek a little comfort and happiness from the concept of consumption.

"What do you know, little girl, I can't explain it to you." She was really mad at her, why would she tell a fourth grader such a thing, she didn't find it cute at all!

Qiao Yan drank up the hot water, slowly put down the water glass, exhaled lightly, her lips were moist.

Fei Li happened to come back after paying the bill. With a smile on her face, she came to the table and picked up her down jacket to put it on. She took a step forward, pulled her long hair out of the coat and cap, and came to Qiao Yan's side to hold her hand, said to Qixue, "I'll take you back."

Qi Xue was originally in a happy mood, but who would have guessed that the little girl's words would lose all the fun, she turned her face away, her face darkened, she folded her hands together, and said, "No, I'll let the driver pick it up."

Fei Li bit her lip, wondering if it was the meal that made her unhappy, she has been trying her best to give her the happiness and romance she wanted, the family background between them is still far apart, she still tries her best to satisfy her, Seeing her suddenly being so dismissive, I was stabbed to the heart.

Qiao Yan yawned like a cat, and tugged at her sleeve, "Little aunt, let's go home, Yanyan is sleepy."

"okay."

"Qi Xue, let's go first. You can call me when you get home, so I can rest assured."

Qi Xue took a look at them, and she couldn't let go of the fire, "Let's talk about it when I go back, you guys go first."

—

The physical education class can finally rest after the teacher dismissed it.

Qiao Yan sat on the lawn, frowned and rubbed her temples, her whole body fluctuated from hot to cold, her eyelashes were wet, and she slowly breathed a sigh of relief as she watched groups of students heading to the small store one after another.

My nerves are aching, and the cold wind blew yesterday, which made my illness worse.

Cheng Yu took cold medicine from the infirmary, sat next to her and handed her water, complaining: "You can ask for leave if you are not feeling well, why are you so desperately serious."

"It's okay, you don't have to worry." Her lips turned pale, she took a pill after taking the water glass, propped her hands on the lawn tiredly, and murmured: "Anyway, I don't want to lose to her."

Cheng Yuhuan bent his knees and looked at her in confusion, "What do you not want?"

Qiao Yan smiled weakly, "Chengyu, do you have someone you want to chase? The kind of person that requires you to spend more energy and time chasing and getting."

"I don't like making myself so hard. It would be easier if I didn't get it. I'd rather not get it."

"You really..." Qiao Yan pursed her lips and stopped talking.

The day before yesterday, when she saw the Qi Xue that Fei Li was talking about, she felt a momentary sense of frustration, which was strongly concentrated in her heart.

She was depressed during that meal, and after she put down the knife and fork, she didn't move again.

Looking at their sweet appearance, I want to leave far away.

After taking the medicine, I slept for a while during the break, sweated all over and blew the cool breeze for a while, making me even more dizzy.

She turned over a page of the wrong question book, pressed her elbows against the corner, and sorted out the questions.

The sky was gloomy, with dark clouds, and a heavy rainstorm suddenly ushered in after school.

Many students are stranded in classrooms, waiting for their parents to pick them up.

Qiao Yan put the pencil case into her schoolbag, took out the wrong book from the desk with one free hand, stared blankly for a while, then put the schoolbag on her shoulder without saying a word, and walked out of the classroom.

Holding an umbrella in his hand, Cheng Yu turned to catch up with her, walking down the damp corridor.

"Yanyan, let me go with you, I have an umbrella, we can go out of school together."

Qiao Yan looked at the small umbrella in her hand, one Chengyu was enough, and if she got in again, both of them would get wet, so she turned her head and continued to go to the stairs, "No, you can use it yourself."

"Yanyan, don't go, it's raining so much now, you'll get a fever if you get wet in the rain."

She couldn't listen to Cheng Yu's chattering behind.

Maybe, my head was burnt and I didn't want to say anything, I just wanted to go back to sleep.

In the rainy weather, the traffic jams on the road, and the vehicles move slowly like snails. Feili was stuck in traffic for an hour and a half before she got to school.

It was dark at this time, except for the neon lights on the road to illuminate a corner, the whole road was dark.

She got out of the car, opened the handle of the umbrella, and went into the school to find someone.

Class [-] classrooms have been locked, and there is no one in the corridor.

The school is terribly overcrowded.

She felt extremely regretful, and should have bought her a mobile phone so that she could contact her.

It was raining so hard that it was difficult for her to find someone.

"Yanyan, where are you?"

"Smoke?"

Fei Li searched up and down the stairs, even the corners of the stairs, and finally saw the thin figure at the bottom of a dark staircase.

Qiao Yan squatted on the ground, leaning her back against the wall, curled up into a ball, breathing heavily, closed her eyes, and wrapped her arms around herself.

Like falling asleep.

Fei Li squatted down, touched her head, her hair was wet, she touched her clothes in surprise, her whole body was soaked.

Her heart tightened, she quickly held up her little face, and called her nervously: "Yanyan, wake up, it's me, Yanyan?"

Qiao Yan murmured, opened a gap, and continued to close it.

Fei Li put her hand on her forehead, her eyelashes trembled, the scalding temperature of her hand made her tremble with fear, "It's so hot..."

It was still raining outside, the worst rain this year.

She simply put her on her back, supported her legs with one hand, and walked outside the school with an umbrella in the other.

When she got home, she hurriedly called the private doctor she knew. He was her brother's classmate, and she usually went to him for colds and fevers.

She hurriedly took off all the clothes on Qiao Yan's body. It was the first time that she was so nervous and scared that her hands were trembling when she undressed.

Qiao Yan's complexion was snow-white, as if rolling in milk, exuding a lustrous luster.

Fei Li put warm water in the bathtub, carefully picked up the naked Qiao Yan, put her into the warm water, bathed her, and washed her hair.

The girl's body is young, young, and beautiful, and the skin on her body is as soft and smooth as jade carvings.

After soaking in the bath for a while, she was dried and wrapped up, taking good care of her.

At this time the doorbell rang a few times.

Fei Li heard the sound and ran to open the door. Outside was a woman with short hair in a white coat. Seeing her, she felt relieved, "Sister Yu, you are finally here, come in quickly."

Yu Xichun walked into the bedroom and saw the girl lying on the bed.

"Is this Tang Xin's daughter?" She took out the syringe and medicine, and was busy giving her an IV.

"Don't you know all about it?"

Fei Li rolled up her sleeves gently, revealing a lotus arm, and touched her forehead with an unhappy expression: "Why is it so hot?"

"The high fever of 405 degrees is not hot, and the fever will subside tonight with an intravenous drip."

Seeing that she was so nervous, Yu Xichun smiled, and comforted her: "Don't worry, just watch her more tonight, and you'll be fine if you sweat."

"Thank you, Sister Yu." Fei Li was completely focused on Qiao Yan, as if she had been drained of all breath, and her whole body was in chaos.

Not to mention etiquette.

Yu Xichun packed the medicine box, looked at Feili's room by the way, and then left after explaining a few words.

—

Silent room, slightly cold.

Fei Li's room is simple and monotonous in style, without dazzling crystal lamps, and without exquisite decoration. Books from various countries are placed on the simple bookshelves, and her feet in white socks walk back and forth on the wooden boards.

She stepped aside and dimmed the lights so that the person on the bed could rest.

The dark eyes looked at her quietly, saw the sweat on the forehead, took the cold wet towel on the table, and quietly wiped it for her.

Qiao Yan was dazed by the burning, and murmured like a nightmare: "Mom..."

"Yanyan, how are you?"

"Mom, don't abandon me." Qiao Yan took a breath, clenched her fingers, frowned a little sadly, and her heavy head burst.

Fei Li inadvertently caught a glimpse of the tears flowing from the corner of her eyes, like stars falling from a water line, suffocating her chest: "Does Yanyan feel uncomfortable somewhere?"

Qiao Yan opened her lips and trembled, unconsciously moved twice, her voice was hoarse: "I hurt so much..."
