Chapter 12 New Worries

Qiu Xingci slept for several hours. He felt that today's dream was beautiful.

In the dream, he returned to his grandmother's house where he lived when he was a student. At his grandmother's request, he put the extra pickles on a plate and sent it to his neighbor's house.

At first, he didn't think it was a dream, because the smell of pickles surrounding the tip of his nose was very familiar.

The lithe young man was carrying a plate and skipping towards his neighbor's grandma's house.

The two courtyards were close to each other, and there was a tall poplar tree in the middle of the road. When Qiu Xingci passed by, he looked up and saw that it was full of greenery.

He walked to the door of Grandma Chi's house and found that the courtyard door was open. He

called out loudly: "Grandma Chi, are you at home?"

As he spoke, he walked in familiarly.

There is a very tall persimmon tree in the yard of Grandma Chi's house. Whenever the season comes, the persimmons bear red fruits. The orange persimmons are next to each other, making the branches lower.

When Qiu Xingci was doing homework and playing at Chi Chengye's house, he always liked to look at these delightful persimmons.

One was a little greedy, and the other thought the scene was really beautiful.

This beautiful and lively red persimmon tree is right next to the whitewashed wall in the corner. Some sparrows fly over in small groups, flapping their wings and landing on the branches. You can tell by the sound that they want to steal some food.

When Qiu Xingci walked in, Chi Chengye, who heard his voice, also opened the door and walked out.

"Why are you here?" The young man held the handle of the remote control car with a cool, imperceptible smile on his face.

"Come to play with me?"

Qiu Xingci said: "Go, go over there, I'll bring pickles to your grandma."

Chi Chengye stuffed the handle of the remote control car into his arms and glanced at Qiu Xingci holding it The dark pickle lumps on my plate always appeared on the dining table of two elderly families from time to time, and they looked very familiar.

Chi Chengye looked puzzled: "I really don't understand why they adults like to eat this."

Qiu Xingci: "Where is your grandma?"

Chi Chengye: "Listening to the opera."

"Is Xiaoci here?" Grandma Chi, who was watching TV and listening to opera, glanced into the yard and shouted: "Chengye, don't play in the house with your little brother Qiu. Go to the yard to do your homework later, and help me scare the birds." "

Chi Chengye glanced outside, responded, and first found a plate to put the pickles on.

Qiu Xingci took the handle from him, played with it for a while, and then controlled the car to run forward and spin in circles.

"Stop playing, finish your homework before playing."

Chi Chengye went to the sink to clean the dishes and put them on the table.

Then he took his homework book and walked out with Qiu Xingci.

Qiu Xingci didn't realize that he was dreaming at the moment, nor did he wonder why the plate he was holding turned into homework.

He strolled outside with his friends. There was a large retro stone table with stone benches in the yard. It was a little hard when you first sat on it, and it became a bit cold after sitting for a long time.

It was not cold at this time, but Chi Chengye glanced at Qiu Xingci, and the sick look on his fair face had not completely dissipated.

After thinking about it, Chi Chengye took a cushion and spread it on the stone bench for him. Qiu Xingci waved his hand and said, "No need."

Although he heard that there was no need, Chi Chengye pursed his lips and smiled. Laugh, let’s lay out the mat tightly.

Qiu Xingci felt that he was being treated like a porcelain doll, so he hummed and put his homework book on the table.

"I have a lot of homework."

And lazily bathing in the afterglow of the setting sun, Qiu Xingci didn't want to do his homework at this time.

Seeing that Chi Chengye had opened the accompanying exercise book, the rustling sound of paper and pen slowly sounded. Qiu Xingci held his chin and looked at him boredly.

"Hey, do you have a lot of homework this week?"

Chi Chengye smiled and said, "It's not too much. There are three papers in addition to the language test, plus other material questions to do. I can probably finish it tomorrow.

Qiu Xingci felt dizzy when he heard this: "Isn't this enough? I was so annoyed when I heard it." He

was about to say something, but when he thought about how much homework he had, he sighed helplessly.

The birds that landed on the persimmon tree were jumping around. Qiu Xingci picked up the bamboo broom in the yard and waved it. The flapping wind scared the birds away.

After the birds were frightened away, Qiu Xingci looked at the small orange lantern-like persimmons and couldn't help itching his hands. He raised his hand to pick one off and wiped it with the cloth of his school uniform cuffs.

Chi Chengye glanced at him and said, "Don't eat it yet. Go wash the dust."

Qiu Xingci was really lazy: "That's okay. Sparrows can eat it, and so can I. It's not clean. Have you eaten it?" I'm sick." Chi

Chengye raised his eyebrows and looked at him and said, "You're too lazy."

Then he raised his hand and took the persimmon from his hand and said coldly, "Wait here, I'll wash it."

Ci looked at him a little embarrassed: "Then just wash two more."

Chi Chengye looked at him seriously: "One more thing, you can wash it yourself."

The little lazy man smiled flatteringly and was very aware of current affairs. He smiled: "Just one, I won't say anything."

When the friend handed over the washed persimmon, Qiu Xingci said happily: "Thank you~"

He took the persimmon and bit it.

The persimmons were soft and sweet, and Qiu Xingci licked his teeth after taking a bite.

When he licked his teeth and sucked the sweet persimmon juice remaining between his lips and teeth, he felt a little empty...

empty?

An empty piece!

There is a gap in his tooth!

Qiu Xingci suddenly woke up with a fright, as if he saw himself missing a tooth and no longer being called a handsome boy.

He sat up, sweating.

At this time, I was so confused that I couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality.

He walked to the mirror and stared at his teeth with his mouth wide open.

After repeated confirmation, it seems that there is nothing wrong with the front teeth.

Opening the mouth, the exposed lower teeth seem to be fine.

He licked his teeth one by one with his soft tongue, and found that he couldn't tell which tooth it was on the upper right side and inward, as if there was something really wrong.

Qiu Xingci looked broken.

Really, an empty space.

Ah, an empty piece?

Isn't he dreaming?

Are you still awake from the dream?

Until I felt a little cold, I looked down and found that I was still wearing pajamas.

He turned on the air conditioner for a while before going to bed, and then turned it off after going to bed.

Feeling a little cold,

Qiu Xingci walked decisively back to the bed and dove into the bed.

Wrapped in a quilt, he licked his teeth again to confirm.

It's just an empty piece.

It's all this dream's fault.

It’s all because the persimmons are too sweet,

it’s all because of Chi Chengye, why do you insist on washing the persimmons!

I'm afraid he has to go to the dentist tomorrow.

Even with his eyes closed, Qiu Xingci's beautiful face was full of hopelessness and pain.

He was most afraid of going to the dentist. He

had a tooth extracted once when he was a child, and it was very, very, very painful!

After collapsing for a while, he stretched out a hand from the quilt, found his cell phone and checked the time.

I realized it was only 3 o'clock in the morning.

At 3 o'clock, I think I can still sleep.

Qiu Xingci turned over and lay down seriously.

At eleven o'clock in the morning, Qiu Xingci opened his eyes and glanced at the time. He sat up and stretched. When he was getting dressed and brushing his teeth, his teeth felt a little uncomfortable and he suddenly remembered that he should go to the dentist today.

But at eleven o'clock, after washing and making an appointment to go to the hospital for dental treatment, he was afraid that it would be too late.

I can only check if there is a ticket in the afternoon.

The thought of going to the dentist alone weighed heavily on his mind.

Qiu Xingci was not in the mood to have lunch. He checked the dental registration time of a nearby hospital in the afternoon on his mobile app and struggled for a long time.

There is still a number,

but for what time period?

Three to four o'clock?

Four to five o'clock?

Just when he was thinking hard and finally made up his mind to make an appointment, he suddenly found that there were no reservations.

This expert account is full.

Qiu Xingci quickly registered with another doctor, and then found that it was also full.

I changed it to another one and it was still full.

He sighed first, then smiled relaxedly after a moment.

Qiu Xingci comforted himself in his heart: "The number of these doctors is full, which shows that they are very capable and the patients trust them, so they can be full."

"Then this means that they are not very good at extracting teeth or treating teeth . It hurts."

After finishing talking to himself, he confirmed his point of view and nodded.

There was no need to see the dentist today, and Qiu Xingci immediately relaxed.

After dinner, he took his board, drew pictures, and rushed out an order.

When he was busy in the afternoon, he took a look at his phone and found a notification for game messages.

3:02 PM

Winter 99: Do you want to play games?

3:56 PM

Winter 99: Are you there?

4:30 pm

Winter 99: When will you be online today?

5:05 pm

Winter 99: It’s not convenient to contact me right now. Why don’t you add a Penguin account or WeChat account?

6:19pm

Winter99: Have you not looked at your phone for such a long time?

Winter 99: Too cold, I need a reasonable explanation.

Qiu Xingci was startled and quickly replied to the message.

Snow Jump: Sorry, I really didn’t pay attention to my phone.

Jumping in the snow: I was painting in the afternoon and put my phone aside.

Jumping in the Snow: You can add friends, but I added

Qiu Xingci. After thinking about it, I felt that there were too many acquaintances on WeChat, which was not safe.

Jumping in the snow: just add Penguin.

Jumping in the Snow: My Penguin account and my game account are related, you can add me directly.

Winter 99: The account I am playing is not my own, please add me.

Winter 99: My penguin number is 327563698139.

Flying in the snow: Okay, I’ll add you.

Qiu Xingci was a little surprised when he found the Penguin number.

The avatar of Master Penguin is actually a cat.

interesting.

He remembered the great god's own game account, whose avatar was a mouse, but he didn't expect that the avatar of this penguin account was actually a cat.

Penguin Nickname: I don’t eat coriander and blueberries.

Qiu Xingci is a little unsure about it. He has a selfie of himself on his large account, so he doesn’t dare to use the large account.

After finding a small account, he tentatively clicked on the application to add friends.

It took barely a few seconds to pass.

Qiu Xingci posted a "cat waving" emoticon, Hello, are you the master?

Not eating cilantro and blueberries: Well, that’s me.

Qiu Xingci was a little curious about his name.

"Don't you like coriander and blueberries?"

What a coincidence, he doesn't like coriander and blueberries either.

What a fate.

Chi Chengye, who was on the other end of the phone, was shopping in the supermarket. While looking at his phone, he put a box of cherry tomatoes into the shopping cart.

He replied: No.

Qiu Xingci was a little strange: "Huh?"

"Then why did you choose this name?"

Don't eat coriander and blueberries: Because the important person doesn't like them

. Don't eat coriander and blueberries: I'm afraid that over time, I will forget this person's preferences. , write it down to remind yourself.

Qiu Xingci sensitively realized that it was the ex-girlfriend of the great god.

He coughed slightly and was too embarrassed to ask further.

Don’t eat coriander and blueberries: I’ve been waiting for you for a long time

, and I feel a little aggrieved between the lines.

Qiu Xingci smiled, pursed his lips and typed: Sorry, I'm late.

Qiu Xingci: Are you playing games now?

No cilantro or blueberries: Not now, shopping.

After replying, a photo was attached.

In the photo, the man's hand is pressed on the handle of the shopping cart. The bones are clear, slender and fair.

There are some fruits, vegetables and snacks in the shopping cart.

Potato chips, beef cubes, chocolate, most of the carts are filled with his favorite foods.

Qiu Xingci looked a little greedy: "I feel like you are good at shopping. These look delicious."

"Besides, your hands are nice."

Chi Chengye pressed the corner of his mouth and replied: "No, just average."

Qiu Xingci felt that his financial strength was very good, and he was a little envious: "Have you already gone to work?"

Chi Chengye was a little confused: "No, I am still a student."

Qiu Xingci was stunned while holding his mobile phone.

Students,

are students so rich in pocket money?

You can have snacks freely!

He was completely envious.

Thinking of his current financial strength and the expenses needed to see the dentist soon, Qiu Xingci sighed slightly.

Not eating coriander and blueberries, I didn’t understand his distress, and I still made an appointment with him: at eight o’clock in the evening, I would definitely be there.

Qiu Xing resigned and replied: OK
