When Yang Xi stood under the scorching sun again, she didn't feel dizzy.The smell of chicken chop rice still remained between her lips and teeth, and her stomach was overly satisfied.She is grateful to Lin Anqiao, but also feels hurt and unfair by her attitude.She must be sympathizing with herself, Yang Xi thought to herself mockingly, after all, she is indeed very pitiful, and can't even afford a good meal.

She didn't know if her attitude was too extreme, but it didn't matter, she wasn't worthy to be Lin Anqiao's friend either.Lin Anqiao is like a goddess (male god?), aloof, capable of anything, having everything.And myself, like that ugly duckling, was forgotten in the most inconspicuous corner, struggling for a living.

With her hands in her school uniform pockets, she walked slowly home.She doesn't plan to go back to school, because it is estimated that school will be over now-there is only half a day of class during the sports meeting.Although there are still about three or four kilometers to go home, she still doesn't plan to take the car in order to save the fare money.With such a short distance, you can just walk, and it doesn’t matter if you are a little tired.I'm not the eldest lady of a rich family, and I don't have the capital and coquettishness.

Yang Xi kept walking towards home, taking small steps, tired but more energetic than usual.Her height is just 1.6 meters, and her weight will be about [-] catties. No matter how big her steps are, she is like an ant moving its nest.She is so thin that she is so inconspicuous among the crowd, if not for the unconscious indifference and aloofness on her face, perhaps no one would think that she is a little different.

Her face is short and small but very fair, but her cheekbones are high. In addition, she is too thin, resulting in sunken cheeks, so sunken that there is no need for highlighting when taking pictures.The thin slanted bangs I randomly cut swayed gently in the air against the summer wind, and the high ponytail swayed gently with the footsteps.Her nose, mouth, and eyes are very small, sometimes reminiscent of a Chinese porcelain doll.

She walked to the longest river in the city, which is next to Luoxi.Willows with long branches grow on both sides, casting a shade on the walking path.The black soil was soaked with water, and the green grass covered the river bank.

Over the years, no matter how much the pollution has intensified, the water of this Luoxi River will never become polluted, because the government is firmly protecting it.It is precisely because of this Luoxi River that there is a source of life and thus this city.Luoxi City is located in the north of China, far away from the coast. It is this small stream that gives the arid land a touch of polish.It is said that the Arabs who preached in the past brought a camel team through here, so that their camels could survive, so they named the river Luoxi.Luoxi is the edge of the city and the source of the city.

A Luoxi River separates Luoxi City into two parts, Xinan District and Xibei District.There is no substantial difference between the two districts, but it feels like two places, as if a world away.

She suddenly felt a little tired, so she planned to sit on the bridge for a while.That bridge connects one of the two banks of Luoxi River. It is very inconspicuous and has no name. Few cars pass by it.But Yang Xi likes such a secluded bridge, so quiet that people forget everything and don't worry about anything.

The railing of the bridge was still as dirty as ever, but Yang Xi put his elbows on it without looking at it.Sometimes, her living environment is not as good as the railing of this bridge, so she doesn't dislike it or pick and choose.She just hoped that the bridge would not despise her.

"Luo Xi." Yang Xi softly said these two words unknowingly, even though he didn't know why he said it.

Probably she thought of her father and mother.She couldn't believe that it had only been five years since her parents passed away.To her, it was as if she had never had parents, as if the carefree child in her parents' arms was her previous life.When she looked at her own memories, especially sad memories, she looked at them with an extremely strange eye.

She just leaned on the bridge and looked farther away, watching the stream turn into the invisible horizon.After about 10 minutes, her eyes had grown beyond calm.The corner of her mouth twitched, then she got up and continued walking towards home.

As the breeze blew, a grain of sand blew into Yang Xi's reddened eyes.

"Yang Xi, I apologize for what I said." Lin Anqiao called Yang Xi that night, and the tone of the call was very guilty.

Yang Xi had just finished his shift at McDonald's, wiped off his sweat, and received a call from Lin Anqiao.It seems that Lin Anqiao has a good memory and knows when to call and when not to call.

But Yang Xi never thought that Lin Anqiao came here specifically to apologize, so he was stunned for a moment.

"It's me who is angry, not your problem." Yang Xi felt his face was burning hot.

But as soon as Yang Xi said this sentence, Lin Anqiao felt like he was angry, and it made Lin Anqiao panic.

"Really, I'm really sorry..." Yang Xi could even feel Lin Anqiao's gray face.

Yang Xi smiled wryly and shook his head: "No, I mean that my usual way of speaking may be a bit extreme, which makes you feel bad, and you can forgive me a little."

After hearing Yang Xi's slowed down tone, Lin Anqiao seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and her tone was not so tense.

"You're not angry?"

"No."

"Really not?"

"Really not." Yang Xi couldn't help smiling.She didn't know that Lin Anqiao had such a thoughtful side of a mother-in-law, which she never expected.

"That's good, you seem to have said that you don't lie," Lin Anqiao also cheered up, "Are we still friends?"

What kind of scene is this when they meet for the first time in kindergarten? Yang Xi feels childlike and funny.

"of course."

Lin Anqiao let out a burst of cheers, the excitement was beyond Yang Xi's expectation, and Yang Xi couldn't help but wonder if Lin Anqiao didn't have any friends since childhood.

"We can also go shopping like friends in the future, chatting late into the night or something?" When Lin Anqiao brought up the topic of friends, he changed into another person like a chicken blood.Even if you can't see Lin Anqiao's expression, you can still feel her longing and longing.

"...It's ok, as long as I have time." In fact, Yang Xi knew that this was completely unfeasible.First, I don’t have any extra money for shopping and shopping, so I can’t even eat, let alone buy things; second, I chat until late at night, just homework and part-time work can make me exhausted, and I still chat In the middle of the night, it is impossible.One has no money, and the other has no energy, and I can't touch the things that those students like to do at all.

Lin Anqiao's tone suddenly felt apologetic and disappointed: "I seem to be too selfish, your time is so tight." But she didn't say anything about helping Yang Xi, probably already figured out that it is an untouchable minefield.

"No, I'm also very happy to have another friend." Yang Xi suddenly felt that he liked the person on the phone very much.The coldness on the surface is all a disguise, but under the shell, Yang Xi is so considerate and full of pure soul that Yang Xi can't believe that it is Lin Anqiao.

She felt that she and Lin Anqiao were in the same boat, even though Lin Anqiao looked like a prince and nobleman, even though she looked so otherworldly.

After all, Lin Anqiao is human just like himself, and will have difficulties in the end.

However, I am afraid that the gossip bombardment I will face when I go to school tomorrow will be terrifying.
