stranger

The students on the road subconsciously moved away when they saw Jin Tan whose face was extremely stinky. The words "I'm in a bad mood right now, don't approach if you don't want to die" were written on Jin Tan's face.

He walked quickly to the door of the studio and opened the password door. His lips were tightly pressed the whole time. After entering the studio, he saw Cui Yingdao, who was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, paused. There was no look of surprise.

"You're not surprised to see me come back, friend." Cui Yingdao raised his chin and smiled at Jin Tan who looked unhappy.

"I've heard enough about your return on the road." Just because he heard a student saying that Cui Yingdao was back on the road, he immediately felt a sense of crisis and called Zhixi, but he couldn't get through, so he went to the classroom to find her I didn't see her figure either...

Jin Tan glanced coldly at Cui Yingdao, turned around to leave after saying this, but heard Cui Yingdao sneered and said, "Ah, so... are you here to find Liu Zhixi? Why, I don't know Where has she gone, you are looking for her here, but she didn't call you, didn't tell you... just went home, with all the traces left here." Cui Yingdao rested his head on his pillow with one hand At the back of the head, the light in the eyes seemed a little sharp.

There was some anger in Jin Tan's eyes, and finally ignored Cui Yingdao, turned around and left the studio.

After Cui Yingdao saw Jin Tan leaving, the smile on his mouth also slowly disappeared, and he lay on the sofa directly with his head up, his hands behind his head, and his face looked a little lost.

——"Cui Youngdo, you're back, but...it's better to stay outside when you go back to Korea." Zhixi, who had finished her judo class, stood calmly in front of him, "That way I don't have to witness the reality that you haven't changed."

"I don't care if things change, but..." His eyes narrowed, "You...don't want me to come back?"

She turned her face away, lowered her eyes and said lightly, "As I said, I should stay away from Cui Yingdao now."

…………

He turned sideways and buried his face in the pillow, the image of her leaving without a trace of hesitation always echoed in his mind.

"Then I'll just be close to you..." He murmured, closed his eyes lightly, found a comfortable position and fell asleep on the sofa as if nothing had happened.

"Snapped--"

After a series of cross-examinations by Han Qiai, Jin Tan weakly pushed open the door of his room, and fell directly on the bed without turning on the light.

He fumbled to take out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket, but he hesitated to dial Zhixi's number when he found it, and finally threw it aside in annoyance.

As soon as he dropped the phone, the phone rang. He quickly reached out to pick up the phone and sat up. When he saw Zhao Mingxiu's name on the note, his eyes were filled with disappointment.

"What's the matter, I just wanted to call at this time." He said in an unhappy tone.

"Ah Tan, do you want to go to the winter training camp tomorrow? The entire second year of high school students will go, it will definitely be very interesting!" Zhao Mingxiu said excitedly.

"No." He said these two words decisively, hung up the phone, threw the phone on the bed casually, put on cotton slippers and walked to the window, his slender figure looked a little monotonous under the faint light.

He put his hands in his pockets, looked at the night scene outside, and murmured, "Is it so difficult to like me? I'm tall, handsome, and smart, ah, really... and That guy Cui Yingdao always comes out to disrupt the situation!"

With an annoyed look on his face, he stretched out his hand and pulled the curtains heavily. The room that was originally dimly lit was immediately immersed in darkness.

After returning home, Liu Zhixi didn't say anything to her mother, but went straight back to her room.

The room was still well-heated, it was still decorated in a delicate and stylish way, and it still had everything she was used to, but it seemed much stranger.

She was wearing a new bathrobe, her hair was tied back with a dark green lace headband, she stepped on the white wool carpet with bare feet, she glanced coldly at the brand new items on the bed, with a sarcastic smile on her mouth.

In this way... it's really like entertaining a guest.

At this moment, Esther Li pushed open the door of her room and walked in with a cup of warm milk in his hand, "I was going to participate in the winter training camp tomorrow, but there is no heating in the open air, I'm afraid your legs can't stand it, so I I have already told the chairman that you will not participate." She gently put the milk on the bedside table.

"Alright, anyway, I don't really want to go." Zhixi walked to her bed, lifted the quilt and lay down, picked up a magazine next to her and looked down, but her eyes were never on her mother. body.

"Okay, take a good rest at home these few days," Esther Li said with a smile on his face, "There will be a grand banquet in the near future, waiting for you to attend." After she finished speaking, she turned and walked out of the room, by the way Close the door too.

After Esther Li walked out of the room, she put down the magazine in her hand and turned her head to look at the warm milk on the bedside table, but she didn't make a sound for a long time...

In the early morning of the next day, except for the third grade who was about to take the exam, the students in the first and second grades were either in high spirits or listless. They all carried the backpacks issued by the school and sat in high-end custom-made commercial vehicles. The destination of the training camp is on the way.

"Ah, it's been a long time since I went camping. The equipment sponsored by so many big companies is really amazing!" Zhao Mingxiu leaned comfortably on the car seat, fiddled with her camera, and suddenly turned her head to look at Li Baona behind with a smile and said, "Li Baona, let's take a photo, such a good time, we must keep some memories!"

"No," Li Baona turned her head arrogantly, looked at Canrong who was present, immediately smiled and took Canrong's hand and said to Zhao Mingxiu, "I will think about it if you give us two shots."

"Ah, don't." Zhao Mingxiu snorted lightly, and turned around resolutely.

"What..." Li Baona pouted and muttered, and then talked to Yin Canrong with a smile on her face.

"Ha, this scene is really weird..." Cui Yingdao, who was sitting by the window, looked at Li Baona, who turned her face faster than a book, and smiled silently, and then put her arms around her chest in the very stable car, as if no one was there. fell asleep.

After four or 10 minutes, the students' car finally arrived at the destination of the winter training camp.

The students who were assigned to live in the same tent moved their own equipment to the designated place and started to do it by themselves.

After getting off the car, Cui Yingdao put his hands in the pockets of his heavy cotton coat, and wandered to the junior training camp in an area away. He was a little depressed when he didn't find Liu Zhixi after walking around. He breathed a sigh of relief, then wandered back to his class's camping spot, leaning lazily on the chair in the middle, with deep eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

"Yeah, Choi Young-do, don't you need to set up a tent?" Li Baona was originally angry because Chanrong indirectly set up a tent for Liu Rachel when she was helping her. bent down and asked.

"Aren't they right?" Cui Yingdao glanced at the boys who were struggling to set up the tent, and then said to Li Baona with a nasty smile on his face, "Ah, I'm sorry, my tent was also destroyed. Someone else set it up."

"Ah, really!" Li Baona looked at Cui Yingdao's unflattering smile and stomped her feet angrily, then walked towards Yin Canrong.

Cui Yingdao lowered his head and chuckled, took out his mobile phone from his bloated clothes bag, looked at the number on the mobile phone, "You really didn't come, but..." A smug smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, "You will come."

The garden that was just replaced with new flower varieties yesterday is still full of flowers, without leaving any trace of winter.

Liu Zhixi was wearing an asymmetrical white draped windbreaker, with a blanket covering her legs, sitting leisurely on a white armchair, basking in the still warm winter sun, flipping through a book demurely, black Inadvertently, her hair brushed her long and slender fingers on the page.

The mobile phone on the table beside her started to ring. She glanced up and saw that it was Cui Yingdao calling, so she just ignored her and lowered her head to continue reading the book, not intending to answer it.

It took a while for the phone to stop ringing, and the phone's SMS notification sound rang the next moment.

She sighed softly, reached for the phone, and when she saw the text message, her eyes were filled with surprise...

Jin Tan, who was playing tennis in the tennis practice room, stopped panting after practicing frantically for several hours, threw the racket aside, wiped the sweat off his face with a towel, picked up a bottle of water and directly Just drank half a bottle.

Several missed calls were displayed on the screen of the mobile phone placed on the table, and as the text message sounded, another unread text message was added.

He picked up the phone and opened the text message, and his expression changed slightly when he saw the content. He put the water bottle on the table casually, pushed open the glass door and walked out.

Liu Rachel sat on the seat and stared at the screen of the mobile phone. After a while, she turned off the screen that was on, and held the mobile phone tightly in her hand.

"It's too much, Jin Tan..." She bit her lower lip, thinking about the phone call she heard from Esther Li when she was about to leave home in the morning, the luster in her eyes was even more complicated, "But, I won't I can't do this... let me let you down."

She turned on the phone again and looked at the only photo in the phone album. In the photo, she was still staring at the camera with a lonely expression, and Zhixi beside her was smiling and looking at the camera, her eyes were crooked and bright, Like a beautiful crescent moon.

Although I also have selfish intentions, but... I don't want her to be hurt...
