Boiling point

In fact, He Xin promised not to report that he would lose after participating in the competition. Even though he knew in advance how strong the competitor was this time, he was still full of enthusiasm and refused to admit defeat.

He thought the reason for not admitting defeat was pure, just to get a bonus for Li Yanqi.

But later, when he won the first round, then advanced to the second round, and finally fought against the third middle school, although he failed to turn the tide and get a bonus of 2 yuan, he was not as disappointed as he imagined.

With a personality like his, he wouldn't jump when he loses, but he would always be unconvinced if he was young and energetic. However, now that Dim Sum was unwilling to return to Nanxi and died down.

Is the process more important than the result?

When did he have such a high ideological and moral awareness?

Because of staying by Li Yanqi's side and being illuminated by his noble holy light, is he so "positive" even when he loses?

He Xin couldn't understand what was going on in his mind. It was the morning market, and he was holding hot buns in his hand, staring blankly at the breakfast shop across the street. The dilapidated one, all kinds of crowds and hustle and bustle are suddenly magnified, but it makes people feel alive.

He Xin thought of when he first came here, he was very confused, three points at a loss, and his eyes were full of displeasure. Now he is standing at the intersection that is narrower than before, facing the same morning scene as before, but suddenly feels very uncomfortable. calm.

This is life, this is living life.

Li Yanqi lined up to buy soy milk and pancakes, put them in his hand, pulled his hat and said, "I'm late."

He Xin took a bite and chased after him. He wanted to poke him with his oily hand, but Li Yanqi's reaction was astonishing, and he quickly dodged sideways. The graders all sighed.

"How much is the breakfast, I'll transfer it to you." He Xin walked into the school with him and asked.

"No need, I'm treating you." Li Yanqi said, "Isn't there a bonus of 500 yuan?"

Basketball game No. 2 has a consolation prize of 500 yuan per person. Although it is a bit far from the total amount of [-] yuan, it is better than nothing. A group of high school students can't spend much money except playing games with girls, so Xu Lan and the others When I received the money, I was still happy like a fool.

As soon as he entered the school, He Xin found that there were a lot of girls staring at them today. They usually go to school together. Between Li Yanqi's serious smile and his own serious indifference, the number of girls staring at them decreased. Today, I suddenly felt the scorching gaze, which made He Xin feel very bad.

Li Yanqi smiled at the teacher, then turned to He Xin and said, "Your painting style has become cute recently, and they dare to look at you again."

"Go away." He Xin took out the mask and put it on, her face drooped immediately, and she squinted and looked around vigilantly.

Li Yanqi gave him a thumbs up for the "super fierce" expression he pretended, and his unique skill of changing his face did not take such a second to change.

Sister Liao rushed them into the classroom one by one from behind. He frantically took out his homework from his schoolbag and asked Li Yanqi to copy the questions.

Li Yanqi went to Beigang to play a basketball game, and he didn't miss any of his homework. He Xin looked at his test papers that were being circulated, and sighed every day.

The principal of this week's morning meeting gave a great commendation to the basketball game. All members of the No. [-] High School team who broke the curse of the school's eternal bottom one and squeezed into the finals were invited to the rostrum.

Several high school seniors were very excited. At first glance, it was the master who had never been praised before. Li Yanqi looked very calm and calm next to them, with a meticulous smile on his face.

He Xin lowered his head the whole time, annoyed by the chattering discussions below, in order to prevent the principal from patting him a few more times, he hid behind Li Yanqi when Xu Lan was speaking.

"It's rare to be praised, do you feel refreshed?"

He Xin lowered her voice and said, "Fart, last time I was also the focus of praise for my appearance."

Li Yanqi looked at his prickly short hair, bent his eyes and smiled.

"To be honest, I'd rather be scolded." He Xin sighed, "Being praised by others makes me very uncertain, and I'm so embarrassed that I'm about to flee."

Li Yanqi was about to say what you owe, when the principal suddenly called out their names in a high-pitched manner.

What followed was a fierce criticism that He Xin liked to hear, because the two of them had privately arranged a fight with someone from No. [-] Middle School, and beat him until he was crippled. Because he took the initiative to provoke, he had to remember a small fault. When He Xin heard this, he didn't hesitate to take the charge for him. The principal also thought that it was impossible for Li Yanqi to take the lead. After talking, the punishment fell on him.

After the morning meeting, Li Yanqi frowned and stopped He Xin.

"Heroism made you sick?"

He Xin put her hands in her pockets, straightened her baggy school uniform, pointed to the principal and said, "He didn't believe you did it first, but in order to explain it to those in the Fifth Middle School There is no other way, as for me, I have several punishments on my body, and I am not afraid of carrying one more, anyway, it is the same to me."

Li Yanqi said, "Then do you know that you will be expelled from school after five punishments?"

He Xin froze for a moment, "I thought four would be dismissed."

"I'm not poor with you." Li Yanxi said seriously, "It's still too late for you to explain the situation to the principal."

He Xin raised her eyebrows while watching him, but said nothing.

Li Yanqi pushed him, "Hurry up."

He Xin smiled suddenly, bent over and narrowed her eyes, "Are you afraid of me leaving?"

Li Yanqi was poked into the center of his thoughts by him, and his eyes fell on the other party. He wanted to say something, but swallowed it back, and finally pinched the center of his brows as acquiescence.

He Xin stretched her legs, and took another step towards him, "Since I'm here, I'm not afraid of being expelled." The corner of his mouth curled up, "I have a way to earn back the lost points."

Li Yanqi felt that this friend was in the Arabian Nights, and with his test scores and a personality that would blow up at a little bit, everything would be fine if he was stable for a month without being named by the principal.

"Believe it or not?" He Xin put her arm around Li Yanqi's shoulder, "I'll bet you."

Li Yanqi turned his head to look at him, "What are you betting on?"

"Whatever, I'll tell you when I win." He Xin tucked her chin into her turtleneck sweater and said after a minute of silence, "I'm not someone who would take the blame for anyone, and I'm not the Holy Father."

Li Yanqi snorted, seemingly not interested in this question, but in fact he was not so calm in his heart, walked a few steps and pulled He Xin's school uniform, "Then why did you do that?"

The words "Want to know" were written in He Xin's smile, but her body stretched casually, and she said shamelessly, "No reason, it's all up to me".

Li Yanqi was so blocked that he was speechless, a little helpless and a little wanting to laugh, and finally lost his temper completely.

That's what he said, but only He Xin knew that if someone else committed a crime, he would definitely ignore it, sticking to the principle that it's none of my business, and just say you get out, but "I'm willing" is so ambiguous , Words full of infinite possibilities, no matter what tone you use to say it, it's like teasing.

In short, seeing Li Yanqi's face full of helplessness and anger, he felt very proud. According to his observation, this serious monitor had never had such a lovely expression worth exploring in front of others.

Isn't it something to be happy that one person is special to another?

He Xin felt quite proud.

At least he hadn't felt this way before, couldn't figure out why, but it didn't feel bad.

There were no major school activities this week. The autumn sports meeting that was originally planned had to be postponed indefinitely due to the early arrival of the cold wave.

It has been raining lightly for a week, and the physical education classes have been confiscated into various cultural classes. There is a lot of complaints in the classroom. Traveling to the sea is the mainstream atmosphere in the class. Regardless of whether you did it right or not, after handing it in, the teachers of each subject began to compare the correct rate with each other, so as to show their teaching level.

Wang Meiren is in a relationship with the physical education teacher Chu Feng recently. After being discovered by the students, she doesn't hide it anymore. Invite students to the office for tea every now and then.Today it was He Xin's turn. He was just about to clean the music classroom when Sister Liao called him into the "institution".

Because of the goddamn punishment imposed by the principal, he and Li Yanqi had to take care of the cleaning of the media rooms of the whole school for a full month.

When He Xin knocked on the door and entered, Wang Meiren just hung up the phone and waved to him.

"It's been a long time since we talked."

He Xin smiled, "You are busy with dating."

Wang Meiren poured him a glass of water, "Are you jealous? Do you feel like you are learning like a little monk from a sea of ​​hardships?"

He Xin glanced at her, "Teacher, I have 24 hours a day, and I only study for one hour."

Wang Meiren smiled and said, "One hour is fine, originally you were not willing to give it even one minute."

He Xin said, "Who made me a top student in the front seat."

Wang Meiren looked at him thoughtfully, "It seems that Li Yanqi has a great influence on you."

"It's okay." He Xin took a sip of water, "Do you want to present Brother Ta with an award?"

"Be serious, my friend," Wang Meiren said, "You've got your tail up a bit lately. When I was chatting with the class monitor yesterday, he asked me insinuatingly, how can you get rid of those three punishments."

He Xin accepted the casual teasing, and narrowed her eyes seriously, "Winning a city-level award is worth a pass, right?"

Beauty Wang nodded.

"Then don't worry." He Xin stood up from her seat, "I have a solution, but I won't talk to you before I write my horoscope, lest you talk around with your big mouth."

"Is there someone like you who blamed the teacher?" Wang Meiren followed with a smile, "Okay, you can solve it yourself, go to clean up, and remember to polish the piano."

He Xin bowed her head towards her, turned around and walked out the door, Wang Meiren stared at the computer screen in a daze for a moment and then stopped him, "He Xin."

"Ok?"

"Have you thought about the future? What kind of person do you want to be?"

He Xin was a little hard to understand her sudden analysis of her life. After thinking for a second, she replied, "I have no idea what kind of person I am. I just want to be myself."

Wang Meiren walked away for a while, then smiled lightly, "Then you go on."

He Xin swung away with an OK posture, came to the music classroom, Li Yanqi had already finished sweeping the floor, was wearing earphones and cleaning the window with a rag, and wiped the top piece with his feet, revealing a small slender waist.

He Xin looked at it for a while and then began to point Jiang Shan, "There is a white spot on the left, yes, it is still dirty if you go further."

Li Yanqi almost threw the rag on his head, but He Xin closed the door tightly, sat by the piano and lifted the piano stand, smiling smugly, "I'll play a song for you to cheer up."

Li Yanqi felt that this person simply wanted to be lazy, turned around and sighed, and washed the rag with water.

He Xin had already put both hands on the keys, and played them from left to right. There were a lot of piano scores in his mind that he could memorize silently without thinking, but now he didn't want to play any of them.

Pressing the first key with his fingertips, he smiled with his back to Li Yanqi, and played the second half of "1943".

The picture of a cool rebellious boy sitting quietly in the music classroom and playing the piano is quite impactful, not only in terms of vision, but also in his heart.

From the moment the music sounded, Li Yanqi's mind was taken away by his piano sound, he wiped the window with a rag in his hand, then leaned against the wall and looked at He Xin earnestly.

He Xin's facial features can't be faulted if he picks them up casually, he is very handsome.

However, when he calmed down, he inexplicably showed an unpredictable temperament.

He played the tune for a while, and seemed to realize that there was a sudden silence in the room, and turned his head to look for someone. The black sweater outlined the shape of the shoulders and neck, which was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it.

Li Yanqi walked too unprincipledly, unable to look at He Xin openly, so he lowered his head and coughed.

"Brother Ta, you didn't sweep a single piece of the ground."

Li Yanqi: "..."

He Xin took out a candy he cheated from Sister Liao from his pocket, and threw it to the other party.

Li Yanqi pushed away the candy wrapper and stuffed it into his mouth, the aroma of milk came to his nostrils, so sweet that he frowned.

He Xin snatched the broom in his hand, and swept the floor randomly twice. Li Yanqi poured out the dirty water, wiped the table and the piano clean, the two of them saw that it was still early, and neither of them planned to go back to the classroom. Just stay at the window and blow the wind for a while.

The music classroom is on the fifth floor. Looking down, you can see the fallen leaves of the plane trees in the school, piled up in golden mountains.

No one said anything, and the rare silence made people feel very comfortable.

He Xin supported the window rail with one hand, and closed her eyes comfortably.

"Have you read the school forum?" Li Yanqi asked suddenly.

He Xin took out his phone suspiciously and clicked on it. He had already ranked first in the school grass vote, far surpassing Li Yanqi by hundreds of votes. The friend who voted for him the most was familiar, anonymous?

Li Yanqi pointed to this ID and said, "After a month of silence, this person reappeared."

He Xin opened her mouth in shock, "When did I have such a crazy fan girl?"

Li Yanqi slightly twitched the corner of his mouth, "Didn't it be confirmed before? This person is a man."

"Oh." He Xin calmed down, "It's okay for a man, who dares to call me a god in front of me in such a sloppy way? I don't care about a woman, and a man kicks me away."

Li Yanqi smiled and said nothing, then, he picked the unknown leaves that fell on the window sill, and turned his head to look at He Xin for a moment, "Do you kick me too if I call you a male god?"

He Xin kicked his calf lightly as a gesture, but didn't use much force, just to tease you.

"Hey, be serious." Li Yanqi said, "God, I'm asking you this question very seriously."

He Xin leaned against the wall, looked up at Li Yanyi, and crooked his head, "You are the only person who can touch my head and not be beaten by me, what do you say?"

The other party's deep and hoarse voice came in close to the eardrums, and Li Yanqi was stunned out of thin air. The only two words made his heart slightly hot, and his face couldn't hide his joy, but he told himself rationally not to laugh too obviously, so He lowered his head and pursed the corners of his lips.

He Xin didn't realize that he was snickering, he was bending over to look at people, his eyes flashed with ill intentions, he probably wanted to rub his hair, Li Yanqi took precautions and acted preemptively, and pulled The opponent's hat, and then put his hand on his head and flicked it.

"Fuck." He Xin stroked her hair with a look of disbelief.

Li Yanqi blinked innocently, "You said you wouldn't beat me if I touched your head."

He Xin suffered from being dumb, and was thinking about revenge all the way, and finally succeeded in a surprise attack during the self-study class, and brought Li Yanqi to Xie, and his hair was messed up.

Liao Mei looked at him and clicked her lips in disgust, "You are too naive."

This move earned He Xin a sharp eye.

He lay back on his stomach again and leaned on the table to write the test paper. There were not many questions, and he finished it in less than a quarter of an hour.He Xin watched Li Yanqi recover her clean and refreshing hairstyle, and couldn't help but want to tease her.

He Xin, are you childish?

I didn't even bother to complain about this kind of behavior before, as if I didn't graduate from elementary school.

He Xin turned the pen and thought, if someone else touched his head, he kicked him out immediately.If it were someone else, he would definitely not rush to make a fuss, and he is not idle.

But Li Yanqi is not someone else.

Then who is Li Yanqi in his heart?

.........

"Xiao Li, our store is going to be closed this week. The area is being redecorated. I guess we will see you next year. I will give you your salary first, and I will give you an extra thousand. If you need to find someone next time, I will definitely contact you first."

Li Yanqi took the money, bowed his head and said thank you.

The boss smiled and chatted with him for a while before going out. It was raining heavily outside today, and no one came to eat. Li Yanqi can close the shop after cleaning.

But he was not in a particularly clear mood. First, when he went home at night, he thought of the fanatical He Xin fanboy——anonymous. I checked the IP and found that the address was Feng Binrui's home, because Li Yanqi remembered it because he had filled in the information in the basketball game before.

He guessed right, but he was still a little upset.

From being very hostile to He Xin at the beginning, Feng Binrui could see that he admired and approached him later. This person may have Stockholm Syndrome. The less people like him, the more excited he is.

He felt that Feng Binrui didn't seem to like boys, but who could say for sure.

It's not as serious as jealousy, but it's a little sour, Li Yanqi moved the chair, took out a candy from his pocket to relieve the sourness in his stomach.

The second thing that bothered him was Li An's medical expenses. He didn't get the bonus for the basketball game, and the hospital bill was 5000 yuan less, but Li An's illness could not be delayed.

Including today's salary in his hand, there is still a difference of two thousand.

Li Yanqi turned off the light, closed the store door, took out his mobile phone to see if there was any extra money he could earn as soon as possible, and suddenly bumped into a person while walking with his head down.

He Xin held the umbrella with one hand and covered her stomach with the other, "Hey, I was hit and disabled by you."

Li Yanqi saw that he was carrying a bag of daily necessities in his hand, and asked in a daze, "Why do you buy so many disposable toiletries?"

He Xin pulled out a cigarette while walking, exhaled the smoke slowly and long, and smiled at Li Yanqi, "I have to go far."

"Go home?" Li Yanqi felt wrong after finishing speaking, "Your home..."

He Xin didn't care, "If I don't go home, I'll go to Fujikawa to shoot."

In Li Yanqi's memory, Fujikawa is far away from Nanxi, about the distance of a straight line from north to south on the map.

"Then bring more clothes, it's an ice city over there, and it's more than [-] degrees below zero."

He Xin hummed, and tilted her umbrella a little towards him, "There won't be any exams and key learning content in our school next week, right?"

Li Yanqi said, "Is it all the same in your eyes?"

He Xin pushed him, "Ask you, answer seriously."

Li Yanqi thought for a while and said, "There is no major exam. The quiz depends on the teacher's mood and learning content. Anyway, I can figure it out. There is no way to answer this question."

He Xin pursed her lips in satisfaction, and then pondered with embarrassment how to tell Li Yanqi that she wanted to make a film with him. The two of them walked to the bus stop, but he didn't think of a simple and tactful Speaking of words, it was Li Yanqi who spoke first, "Did you come here for a walk on a rainy day? There are so many supermarkets in front of our house."

"I'm idle and bored, walking around."

Li Yanqi smiled, "It's really leisurely and elegant."

Such a coincidence that you just came to me?Of course, he didn't say this. He Xin was not a person who could hide things from him. From the fact that he peeked at him a dozen times along the way, he could guess that he had something to say.

Finally, before getting into the car, He Xin stopped him.

"Go ahead, I have something to say."

Li Yanqi withdrew his feet, He Xin's serious look made him a little uneasy, and he couldn't help wondering if the other party was suddenly not dull, and found that he felt...a little differently about him?

"Ah, you say."

He Xin threw away the cigarette butt, rubbed her hands, and cleared her throat twice, "Didn't I tell you to go to Fujikawa to make a film? There was a model agent over there who told me that I needed a man, so I recommended you to him. He has seen your photos and thinks you have a good temperament, which is especially suitable for the theme of this time, please let me drag you away."

Li Yanqi looked at him and said nothing.

He Xin continued, "The salary is a lot, about 50 yuan, and the money is quite easy to earn. A good-looking person stands in front of the camera and smiles twice, poses a few poses, and the money will come."

"I don't mean that, I just think you are quite suitable for taking pictures."

"Fuck, the more you explain, the more messed up I am..." He Xin scratched her hair, "Let me tell you the truth, I let you go because I have to stay for a week, and I need someone to cook, so It just so happens that if you don’t shoot, you don’t shoot.”

Li Yanqi's expression was very exciting, he probably had never seen such a smart He Xin, he couldn't help laughing after holding back for a long time.

He Xin looked at him silently, baring her teeth.

In fact, when he said the first sentence, Li Yanqi understood what he wanted to do, and then he explained in a mess, because he was afraid that he would hurt his self-esteem, so he deliberately didn't say that he let you go because he had a lot of money, because he was afraid that he would feel that he was not suitable. I took pictures so I deliberately said that I lacked a cook.

He looked flustered and cautious, and finally couldn't speak anymore and had to put on a completely cool look. He was fierce and killed, but his heart was so kind, very cute.

He used to think that He Xin was a cool person, but later he found out that he was actually a lonely person, but now in his heart, apart from loneliness and coolness, He Xin is even more lovely.

The cutest thing about a person is that he never knows how cute he is.

Even though he has an indestructible cold shell, the feeling of being put in his heart is really too warm. He hasn't experienced such a pure touch for a long time.

Li Yanqi's voice was a little hoarse, "Have you never said so many things in one breath? Except swearing?"

"I don't even bother to swear." He Xin had recovered to the state of "too cool to forget myself" at this moment, "I'll just hit."

Li Yanqi breathed a sigh of relief with a smile, and stood in front of him after a long time, "Thank you."

He Xindan narrowed his eyes, "Then are you going?"

Li Yanqi bent his eyes and smiled, "Go."

He Xin felt relieved, loosened her grip on the handle of the umbrella, and slowly took out a candy.

"It's hard for you to help me think of a reason so complicated." Li Yanqi stuffed a few more candies into his pocket, stood aside and sighed softly, "From now on, you just need to say, eh, Li Yanqi, I have a place I want to go, can you accompany me?"

He Xin tilted her head to look at the small halo cast by the street lamp on his face, which landed on his dimples.

Li Yanxi paused and continued, "As long as I say this, I will go."
