Chapter 35
Chapter 35
On the last day of the semi-finals, it snowed heavily, with numerous snowflakes, and it continued to fall until night.
Most of the buildings in the campus are in Western European style, and they are covered with silver everywhere. At first glance, they look like the fantasy world in the movie.Just after the exam, it was time to relax, and many people ran into the snow to play.
After returning to the dormitory, Qi Chen went to the balcony and opened the window, glanced at the playful figures below, and muttered softly, "They are really not afraid of the cold."
Xie Lian stretched out his hand to lift up the scarf that had dropped slightly, and returned to the position covering his chin, "I thought you would also want to play."
"It's not like I haven't seen snow before." Qi Chen said, looking up at the sky, "It's snowing so heavily, will the plane be unable to fly tomorrow?"
"Then go back one day later." Xie Lian didn't take it seriously, "Didn't Lao Xia say that we can wait for the school to start next year before making up the exam."
The final exam of the attached high school happened to coincide with the semi-finals. Considering their special situation, the school allowed them to wait for the next year to take the make-up exam.It's just that Qi Chen was a little reluctant, and kept trying to get back.
Originally, the time to go back the next day after the rematch was just right, but the failure of the plane to fly is not a factor that can be influenced by human beings, and there is no way around it.
Xie Lian observed his expression, "You don't want to make up the exam?"
"No." Qi Chen hesitated for a moment, and asked hesitantly, "Then you're going back to City S?"
Xie Lian is not from City S after the final exam of the attached middle school. If he doesn't have to take the exam, he can stay in City B and start his winter vacation without going back to City S.
Xie Lian thought for a while and realized what Qi Chen was worried about, and couldn't help smiling.At first I wanted to tease him, but after thinking about it, I put it down and said directly: "I'll go back with you."
"Really?" Qi Chen was happy but also surprised, "Don't you need to go home?"
The cold wind kept pouring in, Xie Lian stretched out his hand to close the window, and pulled him back indoors, "I moved out a few years ago to live by myself, it doesn't matter whether it's in City B or City S."
Qi Chen asked, "What about the Chinese New Year?"
"In previous years, I had to pick a day to go back to the old house, but this year I won't go back." Xie Lian said, "Just find a time to tell grandpa in advance."
Thinking about the situation in his family, Qi Chen wanted to ask but was afraid of crossing the line, so he asked carefully, "Is it really okay?"
"It's okay." Xie Lian raised his hand and rubbed the top of his hair, "My family's situation is quite special, maybe everyone can relax if we don't go back."
The temperature in the room was very high, Qi Chen took off his own scarf, and pulled off Xie Lian's, leaned over and kissed him on the corner of the lips, "Then I will spend this year with you."
Xie Lian stared into his eyes, raised his hand to cover the back of his head, "Okay."
Sure enough, the snow did not stop the next day, and the plane was delayed. The two decided to wait for the snow to stop before going back. They packed their luggage and moved to Xie Lian's residence in the city for a temporary stay.
The house here is an ordinary three-bedroom and two-living room. Because someone comes to clean it regularly, the room is still in the state it was before Xie Lian left.Although it is still a bit empty, it is not as deserted as the large flat in S City, with traces of people living there.
Xie Lian went into the bedroom to pack his things. Qi Chen walked around the living room, but he didn't see any cabinets like the ones in S City that displayed awards.
Shaking to the study room opposite the master bedroom, Qi Chen got the consent after asking, opened the door and went in.There are rows and rows of foreign language books on the bookshelves, and there are various categories. It can be seen that Xie Lian was really planning to go abroad at that time.
There was heating in the room, and the floor was covered with thick carpets. Qi Chen picked up a book on the shelf to pass the time. While turning the pages, he suddenly remembered that he never seemed to ask Xie Lian why he didn't go abroad.
Just as he was thinking, Xie Lian came over at some point, and pinched the back of his neck, "Why are you in a daze?"
"Reading." Qi Chen returned to his senses, raised his hand and put the book back on the shelf, "Is it packed?"
Xie Lian gave a "hmm" and said, "I just called my grandfather and told him about not being in City B during the Chinese New Year."
Qi Chen was a little nervous, "Did he agree?"
"I agree, but..." Xie Lian looked at him, "I told Grandpa about you, and he wants to invite you to have lunch together."
Qi Chen: "..."
His hand shook, the book was not put away, and fell to the ground with a clatter.
Xie Lian was amused by his reaction, and reached out to pinch his nose, "Why this expression."
"You don't have this expression." Qi Chen patted his hand away, bent down to pick up the book that fell on the floor, and said with a sullen face: "If I knew you were so unreliable, I wouldn't have promised you before graduation .”
Xie Lian shifted his focus, "After graduation."
"It's not a puppy love after graduation." Qi Chen stuffed the book back and turned his head to look at him, "Aren't you afraid that your grandpa won't agree?"
"Not afraid." Xie Lian said truthfully, "I am more afraid that your father will not agree."
"That's true." Qi Chen said, "My dad will definitely not agree."
Leaving aside puppy love, the identity of Xie Lian alone is difficult.
Half of the worries in Qi Chen's heart were taken away, and he was not so nervous about the upcoming lunch, "What about the gift?"
Xie Lian said: "I have tea here, just take it with you when you leave."
Qi Chen was relieved a little, but suddenly asked, "Do I need to change anything?"
"No need." Xie Lian said, "Ordinary clothes are fine."
Having said that, Qi Chen went back to the house and changed into another clothes, and after confirming that there was nothing out of the ordinary from head to toe, he went downstairs with Xie Lian.
Mr. Xie sent a driver to pick them up. Qi Chen looked out the window all the way, and gradually felt that the route was somewhat familiar.After getting out of the car, he saw that it was indeed the area where he lived when he was a child. It was just one south and one north, separated by several hills, which was quite far away.
The car stopped steadily in front of the house, Qi Chen opened the door and got out of the car, and saw a figure with a cane under the steps at a glance.
Mr. Xie was waiting outside.
"grandfather."
Xie Lian greeted him first, and then pulled Qi Chen over to introduce him, "This is the Qi Chen I mentioned to you on the phone."
Qi Chen bent slightly, greeted politely, and thanked Grandpa.
"Hello."
Different from the serious scene that Qi Chen imagined, Mr. Xie had a kind attitude and an amiable smile, "I called you here for dinner temporarily, didn't it affect you?"
"No." Qi Chen shook his head hastily, and sent the gift prepared by Xie Lian, "I came in a hurry and didn't prepare in advance, please don't mind."
Mr. Xie tapped the ground with his crutches, the housekeeper understood and took a step forward to take the tea.
Xie Lian understood what the old man meant, and reached out to support him, "We will help you in."
Qi Chen received his gaze and supported the other side of the old man.
When everyone returned to the house, it was just time for dinner, and the plates came out of the kitchen in piles, filling the dining table.It seems to have been prepared in advance, and there are many special dishes from S city on the table.
The three of them sat down, Mr. Xie moved his chopsticks first, Qi Chenming realized that there was no one else but them for this meal, and Mr. Xie seemed to really only want to invite him to dinner, and only paid attention to his dining experience. did not ask.
Qi Chen relaxed and talked a lot more.
After the meal, the two bid farewell. The old man didn't keep them any longer, and only asked the housekeeper to give Qi Chen the gift he had prepared in advance.Qi Chen took it after thanking him, followed Xie Lian to the door and waited for the driver to drive over, but unexpectedly another car came.
The car door opened, and a man and a woman got out.The visitor was stunned when he saw them, the female one was better, but the male one almost stared at Xie Lian, "Why are you here?"
"Xiao Sheng, don't mess around." The woman scolded in a low voice, then turned her head to say hello to Xie Lian, "Xiao Lian, long time no see, you just finished training, why don't you stay in City B for two more days to relax."
Xie Lian glanced across the two of them lightly, nodded slightly, "Cousin."
Just called someone, but didn't answer the question.Compared with that cousin's enthusiastic attitude, Xie Lian was lukewarm. Xie Sheng immediately showed displeasure, but in the end he suppressed his anger to save face for his own sister.
Xie Wei didn't care about Xie Lian's indifference, took the topic on her own, smiled at Qi Chen, and said, "You are Xiao Lian's friend, aren't you? I've heard him mention you a few times, and I heard that your grades very good."
Qi Chen nodded politely, but didn't answer.
Just by looking at his posture, he knew that Xie Lian had a bad relationship with them, so how could he mention his affairs to them.
The driver finally arrived late, Xie Lian said goodbye, and pulled Qi Chen into the back seat.
As soon as the two left, Xie Sheng said angrily: "Sister, look at how arrogant he is, I said I would punish him, but you still won't let me go."
"Shut up." Xie Wei glared at him, and said in a low voice, "You can talk about it at home. This is an old house. It's a critical time for Dad to be in the company. Don't make trouble for him and keep your mouth open." I hold back."
Xie Sheng moved his lips, his face was still unwilling, but he didn't speak any more.
Seeing that he was obedient, Xie Wei's face softened slightly, and she said with hatred: "How many times have I told you that although the old man hurts Xie Lian, he will not give him the company. But if you provoke him too much, let him come The old man sold it badly, so things are uncertain."
"I just find him annoying." Xie Sheng said.
"You have to endure your troubles." Xie Wei ordered to die, "You should restrain yourself in the old house these few days. I don't ask you to make the old man happy, just make less trouble."
"Understood." Xie Sheng didn't want to talk anymore, he waved his hands indiscriminately, and dragged his luggage to go upstairs by himself.
After returning to the room, Xie Sheng packed his luggage, but his thoughts gradually turned.After being beaten up by Xie Lian last time, Xie Sheng wanted to get back on the scene the next day, but Xie Wei knew about the commotion, and was scolded by his parents together with Xie Wei almost on the same day.
Not only was communication restricted, travel was also restricted, and it was only today that he was allowed to return to the old house for a temporary stay. It was simply unlucky to be able to meet Xie Lian just like this.
Xie Sheng pouted, and suddenly thought of the person next to Xie Lian.
Qi Chen.
This was the name Xie Sheng had asked someone to find out in school, and he also learned that he and Xie Lian were in the same school by the way.
The more he was not allowed to make trouble with Xie Lian, the more dissatisfied Xie Sheng would be.Since Xie Lian brought Qi Chen to Mr. Xie, the relationship must be unusual.
Xie Sheng pondered for a while, then took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.
*
There was a driver in the car, and it was only after returning home that Qi Chen found a chance to open the gift.
Inside is a pen.
This gift has no direction, Qi Chenyi would not come out, and asked the people around him: "How do you think I behaved today?"
Xie Lian's face was serious, "Not very good."
Qi Chen believed it was true, nervously said: "What's wrong?"
Xie Lian said, "Kiss me once, and I'll tell you again."
Qi Chen: "..."
Qi Chen stared at him for a while, then came to a conclusion, "You are kidding me."
Xie Lian smiled uncontrollably, stretched out his hand to rub his hair, "You don't have to please others, you just need to please me."
At the end of the conversation, Xie Lian leaned over and put his hands on his side, almost expressing it.
Qi Chen deliberately pretended not to understand, and said solemnly: "Really, then you have to wait for me to think about it."
"Don't think about it." Xie Lian pinched his chin and kissed him, blocking all his remaining words.
The snow didn't stop until the afternoon of the next day, and the airline sent a text message to notify them. The two checked the flight online and changed the ticket for the next day.
Also that night, Qi Chen suddenly received a call from Qi's father.
When the bell rang, Qi Chen was fishing for a piece of shrimp slippery in the hot pot, and blindly pressed the answer without looking at the screen. Hearing Qi's father's voice coming out of the phone, he was so shocked that he almost dropped his chopsticks into the pot.
"dad."
Qi Chen calmed down, made a silent gesture to Xie Lian, got up and went to the balcony to answer the phone.
"Yeah." Qi's father didn't say much, and asked directly, "I called your teacher Xia just now, and he said that your competition is over, and you haven't gone home yet?"
