Chapter 21 Come on Xia Miao!
Was it the moment Song Jing appeared? No, it was the moment his heart began to swell.
He clearly remembered that on the day of the wedding, no one from Qi Yue's family came to attend. He was quite unhappy at the time, thinking that his father-in-law's family looked down on him, haha... He Zhicheng covered his face when he thought of this.
Qi Yue was not from this city, and He Zhicheng had never been to the Qi family. It was only on Xiaoshu’s second birthday that he met Qi Yue’s sister, Qi Xue, for the first time.
He Zhicheng also clearly remembered that Qi Xue asked him: "Will you be good to my sister forever?"
He Zhicheng replied: “Yes.”
Qi Xue stared at him for a while, then turned and left. The next evening, he was given a letter of employment , a job in a government agency that everyone envied but was hard to get into.
"If you dare to bully my sister, I will kill you!" Qi Xue said the cruelest words and gave He Zhicheng the best future.
It was as if a big prize had fallen on his head.
In the days that followed, He Zhicheng felt full of ambition and felt even more extraordinary.
Qi Yue's obedience made him feel that all this was natural.
After four or five years of loving and comfortable days, He Zhicheng had forgotten who brought all this to him!
Now, Qi Yue is dead and Qi Xue is here.
He Zhicheng is no longer the He Zhicheng of the past. He has been in the unit for so long that he understands what kind of energy is needed to force him into the unit back then.
Unfortunately, he was not ambitious enough. Even though the road was paved for him and the door was opened for him, he couldn't even crawl in.
He didn't make much progress at work, but he was very skilled in learning those crooked ways. If he didn't have evil thoughts, how could he be with a woman like Song Jing?
He was greedy for women, and Qi Yue's family never helped him again, so He Zhicheng forgot about it.
He forgot how he had established himself in this city, and he really regarded Qi Yue as a woman without support and abandoned her heartlessly.
He was the one who ruined his life. Even though he regretted everything he had done, what was the use?
He Zhicheng was tired from walking, so he sat down on the side of the road. When he raised his eyes, he found that he had arrived at the university gate again without knowing when.
It was drizzling that day, and he was exhausted, penniless, and at his wits' end.
But there was no longer a voice that could warm his heart and gently ask him, "Are you okay?"
…
"How are you?"
On Monday, the first day back to school, when eating in the cafeteria at noon, Xia Miao did not dare to look for He Shu again, but chose another table opposite him, keeping her eyes on him.
Seeing He Shu put down his chopsticks after taking two bites and staring blankly there, Xia Miao couldn't help but come over to ask.
He Shu shook his head and replied calmly: "It's okay."
But I was wondering in my heart, I wonder how long this aunt who suddenly appeared will stay in my house?
He Shu was not used to the sudden appearance of a stranger in the house, but she had a face similar to her mother's and lived in her mother's room.
Thinking of the light coming from his mother's room last night, He Shu had the illusion that his mother was still alive and the same as before.
He Shu began to hope that she could stay forever, because the ray of light last night made He Shu have a good dream all night.
He Shu didn't chat much with his aunt last night, and he found that his aunt seemed to be worried. The two of them had a simple dinner and went to bed early.
This morning, when He Shu got up, the door of his mother's room was still closed.
He left breakfast on the table for his aunt, but he didn't know if she ate it.
He Shu suddenly felt that these five days at school were a bit difficult to endure. He was afraid that when he had the holiday, his house would be empty.
"He Shu, can I... sit over here?" Xia Miao asked in a low voice.
That cautious look made He Shu unable to bear to refuse. Why should he be so cold to Xia Miao?
From junior high school to high school, Xia Miao was the only person willing to talk to him.
Just like the uncles and aunts at the car wash, everyone was kind to him. He Shu also began to wonder if he had been too indifferent in the past, which was why he was rejected by his classmates?
Seeing that He Shu agreed, Xia Miao immediately sat over happily with her plate.
"He Shu, when the holidays come, I will go to a cram school outside, do you want to go?"
There was anticipation in Xia Miao's eyes. If He Shu also went, they would be able to meet often during the summer vacation .
"I'm not going." The tuition for the cram school is not low, and He Shu can't spend the money carelessly.
Xia Miao lowered her head in disappointment: "You study so well that you don't need to go to cram school, but I can't do that. My mother said that if I don't work harder, I will be left behind. I don't have any confidence in this exam..."
Since entering high school, He Shu has focused all his attention on studying and his grades have always been among the best.
Xia Miao found it very difficult to pursue him. She was afraid that her grades would not be good in the future and she would not be able to go to the same university as He Shu.
Xia Miao has been following He Shu for three years since junior high school, but He Shu is still lukewarm towards her.
Although they had eaten together every day before and there were many rumors about them among their classmates, He Shu never responded, as if no matter what was said outside, it had nothing to do with him, He Shu.
Xia Miao didn’t know whether she had a chance or not, but if they couldn’t study in the same university in the future, He Shu would probably forget her soon.
Thinking of this, Xia Miao felt that she had lost her appetite. The girl's hidden emotions were all written on her face.
She had thought about confessing her feelings. She had heard of other classmates who had secretly stayed together after successfully confessing their feelings, and she had also felt the urge.
But when she thought that the other person was He Shu, she didn't even have the courage to try.
Because I like him so much, I am also so afraid. If I get rejected, I am afraid that I will not even be qualified to follow him in the future.
"You still have two years to work hard. Think less about messy things and your grades will naturally improve." He Shu, who had just passed the voice change period, had a clear voice.
Xia Miao looked up in surprise, her bright eyes showing both joy and confusion.
He Shu glanced at Xia Miao's silly look and thought to himself, if he couldn't get into the same university in the future, would there be no one gossiping about him behind his back anymore?
There will be no one to eat with me? He Shu was suddenly stunned. Why would he think of this?
He looked at Xia Miao and felt that he had been a little abnormal recently. It must be because he was too tired from working, and his aunt suddenly appeared, so he started to have all kinds of wild thoughts.
He Shu didn't dare to think about it any further. He picked up the plate and left in a hurry. His back looked like he was running away.
Xia Miao rarely chased after him, but sat in her seat in a daze.
"What did he mean just now? Did he ask me to work hard? Does he also want to go to the same university with me?"
The little white teeth were unconsciously exposed again. Xia Miao covered her mouth. She felt that she couldn't control the curve of her eyes after knowing the truth.
"He Shu, I will never let you down, Xia Miao! Come on!"
