Talking tablemates chase after me

"I went out for a picnic with my family yesterday, and one hand is inconvenient." She stretched out her hand to reveal the plastered wrist, and pointed to the podium where the exam papers were piled up just now. "Can you help me move to Mr. Song's office?"

Ming Xi came back to her senses and nodded, and helped Cheng Keke carry the papers and walked outside the classroom; Ding Jinyu was still lying on the seat, and Cheng Keke picked up a reference book from his desk when he passed the door.

"What's wrong?" Ming Xi asked in a low voice after walking out of the classroom.

"Ms. Song and our math teacher happen to be in the same office." Cheng Keke flipped through the reference book in his hand, "I've gone there, I happened to ask two questions."

"You are at the same table with me... No, with Ding Jinyu, you are with him..." Mingxi stared at the reference book in Cheng Keke's hand, and for a moment she didn't pay attention, and quickly changed her words and explained: "You have been at the same table for so long Why don't you just ask him directly?"

"The world of a top student—" Cheng Keke shook his head in despair, "I don't understand after all!"

It's not that she hasn't asked.

Although it looked difficult to get along with, the aura of Ding Jinyu was still there after the school celebration; Cheng Keke had been at the same table with him for a long time, and he didn't find anything wrong with this legendary overlord, so he gradually said boldly A few words.

Although Ding Jinyu looked cold and his voice was cold, but at least he was polite. It didn't make Cheng Keke unable to get off the stage, but...

Every time he faced a question from his new deskmate, he only glanced at it and wrote down a few simple steps and answers on the draft paper, which Cheng Keke never understood.

"Hey..." She exaggeratedly sighed at Ming Xi, "Maybe I am not worthy! I am not worthy to understand the problem-solving ideas of Xueba..."

"Then you ask him..." During the conversation, the two had reached the door of the office, and Ming Xi entered the room and put down the paper in his hand, "He just looks fierce, but in fact, you really asked him..."

correct!

He slapped his forehead and suddenly felt enlightened.

If you really ask Ding Jinyu, can he not say it!

Cheng Keke just said a few words to Mr. Song after entering the door, and didn't pay attention to what Ming Xi muttered. When he turned around, he saw the other party's back blowing out of the office like the wind.

"Eh--"

She just raised her hand to call someone to stop, when she heard Ming Xi's voice seemed to have run away a long way——

"Cheng Keke, thank you—"

She stood in the office confused, she didn't even have time to thank her, what is Ming Xi thanking?

No one knew what Ming Xi was thinking, no matter it was Cheng Keke, Zhou Hao, or even Ding Jinyu.

That day, he was woken up by the sound of Cheng Keke looking for books nearby, and he left before Mingxi ran back to the classroom, not knowing what happened in the short distance of [-] meters to the office.

Only slowly, he found that his surroundings seemed to be getting a little crowded.

Cheng Keke is shy and introverted. She usually doesn't talk much even if she doesn't walk away after class, but now as long as she is not in her seat, Mingxi will definitely squeeze over with a playful smile, holding papers or reference books, and asking mentally handicapped questions. Still clinging on.

This always reminded him of the half-written exercise book of Ming Xi's family.

Whether it was sitting at the same table last semester, or this semester separated for more than a month, at most Mingxi asked him if he wanted to have dinner together. As long as he ignored him, Mingxi would leave with Zhou Hao tactfully. Going to the rooftop is only occasionally.

But now, in order to avoid Mingxi, he has not gone to the rooftop for a long time, but Mingxi seems to be getting more and more "outrageous".

Because he didn't like the crowded environment when school was just over, he was used to sitting in the classroom until there was no one left before leaving. This seemed to give Mingxi a chance to "take advantage of the loophole". Several times when he was about to leave, Mingxi blocked him. In the classroom.

Mingxi was holding kimbap, sandwiches and the like in his hand, they were all very simple things, but they would be heated in the microwave in advance, and he would leave without giving him any chance to refuse.

Before he could figure out what his "former tablemate" wanted to do, the short spring in Panyang City was about to pass, the temperature began to rise, and the students changed into summer school uniforms one after another.

The second summer after he came back to Panyang City was coming with the midterm exam.

For more than a month, in order to avoid Ming Xi, the most common thing he did at noon was to go out to find Ding Yinan.

Because of poor grades back then, Ding Yinan was enrolled in a technical secondary school for nursing. Her hair was shorter than boys and her cannibalistic eyes, of course she was not suitable to be a nurse like Qin Yuxi.

She has been working as a coach in a gym for the past few years, and she doesn't go to work until two o'clock in the afternoon. Ding Jinyu finally has a place to go during her lunch break.

"Xiao Yu'er—" She made an appointment for lunch today at a dumpling restaurant that was hard to find in an alley. When she saw Ding Jinyu from a long distance, she hurriedly stepped on her feet and said hello, "Here!"

This dumpling restaurant was opened in a small bungalow on the side of the alley. It didn't even have a decent signboard, but the business was exceptionally good. The room was full of people, and there was a queue at the door. A group of people followed her and looked around when they heard her voice. , Ding Jinyu was so angry that his molars clenched.

"Don't slump your face, didn't I see you get excited and forget about it!" Ding Yinan smirked and bumped into Ding Jinyu's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Today is your sister Yuxi's birthday. Sister, save face."

"Birthday?" Ding Jinyu finally let go of his clenched back molars, and his brows knit together again, "Why didn't you say it earlier, I didn't prepare anything..."

"It's nothing special." Qin Yuxi smiled naturally, and beckoned everyone to sit down, "It's good for a family to have a meal together."

Words like "family" are always unfamiliar and longing for Ding Jinyu.

"Sister Yuxi." He nodded unnaturally at Qin Yuxi, "Happy birthday."

"Ding Yinan, I didn't mean you—" He looked at the dilapidated and cramped environment of this small restaurant, and gave Ding Yinan a look, "It's also your birthday anyway, why are you so stingy?"

"I'm stingy?"

Ding Yinan was about to explain something, rolled up his sleeves and was about to greet Ding Jinyu, but Qin Yuxi gently pushed him down.

"I chose the place." Qin Yuxi's smile was subtle and standard, "Your sister likes to eat this, but it's too far away from where we live now. I'm busy with work, so it's rare that I have time to accompany her here."

While talking, the boss had already brought the hot dumplings to the table, and Qin Yuxi thoughtfully poured vinegar dishes for them.

"Try it." Ding Yinan pushed the dumplings in front of Ding Jinyu, "The dumplings in this store are all handmade by the boss, a bit like grandpa's back then."

After these words, the meeting fell into silence.

Ding Jinyu almost forgot that the dumplings that grandpa had on New Year's Eve belonged to his own childhood, so why not Ding Yinan's.

Qin Yuxi looked at the low air pressure between the siblings, lightly patted Ding Yinan's hand under the table, raised her head and smiled at Ding Jinyu, "Are you about to take the mid-term exam?"

Her friendly and measured smile eased the atmosphere of the dinner, "Your sister and I don't get good grades, so I'm counting on you to add a college student to our family."

"Is that what you call bad grades?" Ding Yinan clasped Qin Yuxi's wrist under the table with his backhand, "If it wasn't for—"

Before she could finish speaking, she only saw Qin Yuxi shake her head slightly at her, and then she closed her mouth sullenly.

Generally, children who go to technical secondary schools go directly after graduating from junior high school. Qin Yuxi is different. She not only went to high school, but also a good school like Panyang No. [-] Middle School.

Ding Jinyu had heard from Ding Yinan that Qin Yuxi's mother had cheated on her father in the third year of high school, and the family had a divorce, and her grades plummeted. In the end, she gave up the college entrance examination altogether and went to Ding Yinan at the time. Yinan went to nursing school.

Thinking of this, he lowered his head and picked the dumplings on the plate, his eyes darkened.

No one wants to be brought up with an unhappy past.

He suddenly thought of Ming Xi.

A blind sister, a dead mother, a grandma with handicapped legs, a father who always works night shift, and a third-year middle school student who repeats strangely——

So, what happened to Ming Xi back then?

Not wanting the atmosphere during the meeting to drop to freezing point, Ding Yinan changed the topic, "When is the exam?"

"I don't know." Ding Jinyu replied absent-mindedly: "Ming..."

Mingxi will definitely remind him when there is a notice.

Mingxi again!

Although he hasn't replied to Mingxi's message for a long time, in the WeChat dialog box, Mingxi still notifies him of every detail; although he is no longer at the same table or neighbor, but nothing seems to have changed at all.

Every corner of his life is still full of bright shadows, but he seems to be hiding far away on the face, and he has always accepted it with peace of mind in his heart.

"I'll ask tomorrow."

He tried perfunctorily to cover up the slip of the tongue just now, but Ding Yinan still saw through it at a glance.

"Ask who, Mingxi?"
