In the next few days, when Qiao Qin got up early to go to the classroom, she would always run into Xilin at the bottom of the stairs. She has always been a person with a strong sense of time, and so did he.

While going up the stairs, the conversation between the two of them turned from exercises to other topics.

For example, today’s weather.

It just rained last night. The air in the early morning was very fresh, and the chirping of birds was clear and refreshing.

Xilin has never been a talkative person, but Qiao Qin knows that with familiar people, he will also have topics to talk about. Occasionally, when talking about physics, he can also bring up some interesting things about a certain physicist.

Qiao Qin listened carefully, and when she looked at people with those flickering eyes, it was like they were covered with light, and if she wasn't careful, she might be sucked in.

Therefore, Xilin never dared to look at her for more than three seconds before hastily looking away.

Friday afternoon.

The school arranged a general cleaning, and Li Xiang stood on the podium and directed: "The first group stayed in the classroom, the second group went to the cleaning area, and the remaining two groups went to the square with other classes -"

Qiao Qin's group happened to be the first group. Fan Lu and the table in front were transferred to the utility room next door, and the remaining people were in charge of the classroom.

Xi Lin and Chen Maoyu were assigned to carry water. Qiao Qin found an unwanted school uniform, cut it into a rag, moved the books on her table to the corner, and moved the table outside.

At this time, the water was also carried back.

Qiao Qin walked over, washed the rag, climbed on the table, and was cleaning the window. She could only wipe half of the top part even if she stood on tiptoe.

"Little man." Chen Maoyu leaned against the corridor, holding a broom in his hand, and said slowly, "Do you need help?"

The person carrying the water will do some light work again, sweep the floor, and that's it. Someone will mop it after a while.

"No need." Qiao Qin said firmly without turning around. She looked at the dirty rag in her hand and squatted on the table, ready to jump off.

"Ouch." Chen Maoyu deliberately made an exaggerated voice and raised his eyebrows.

Xilin came out from the other side. Before Qiao Qin could jump down, he stretched out his hand and said, "Give it to me."

Qiao Qin squatted on the chair without jumping down and handed the rag to Xilin.

Xilin walked to the other side. The bucket of water was cleaner. He washed the rag quickly and looked at the wet table. If he accidentally slipped his feet, he did not hand the rag to Qiao Qin: "You can't wipe the top ones.

I come."

"I wiped the two large windows first, and then you wiped the top. The top of the door and window was not wiped either." Qiao Qin pointed to the door in front of her and stretched out her hand towards him.

Xilin didn't have the nerve to argue and handed her the rag: "Be careful."

"Um."

Qiao Qin stood up and continued to clean the window.

Xilin stood aside and looked up at her.

After Qiao Qin finished cleaning the window and came down with the rag, she washed the rag in the bucket and then handed it to Xi Lin.

Xilin stood up. He was tall and had long legs. He raised his hand slightly and wiped it clean thoroughly.

Chen Maoyu was looking at the two of them from the side, feeling like he couldn't get a word in. The feeling was very weird, which made him lose his face and feel very unhappy.

"There are still two fans that haven't been wiped and are full of dust." Qiao Qin glanced into the classroom and said.

"Well, I'll wipe it off later." Xilin did not refuse.

When he came down, he looked at the dirty water in the bucket, carried it to the bathroom, and brought back another bucket of clean water.

Qiao Qin walked out of the corridor, and Chen Maoyu blocked Qiao Qin's way at the door. She tied up her shoulder-length hair today, so he raised his hand and pulled off her braid.

"What are you doing?" Qiao Qin stretched out her hand to hit him.

Chen Maoyu has a playful and smiling face, and he is a person who gets more excited the more you mess with him.

Qiao Qin refused to make trouble with him, took back her hand, turned around and went in through the back door.

Xilin came back with the bucket and happened to see the two people who seemed to be having an quarrel. His eyes were deep in thought, but in the end he just pretended not to know and carried the water into the classroom.

Chen Maoyu scratched his head, why couldn't he annoy her?

He felt that Qiao Qin was not willing to pay attention to him.

Qiao Qin moved the table under the fan. When Xilin went up, she said, "Be careful."

Xilin: "Well, please stand far away."

"Ah?" Qiao Qin was puzzled.

"There's too much dust." It fell into her eyes after a while, which was not good.

"Oh." She stood further away silently.

Xilin's hands are not only fluent in writing, but also good at work. Qiao Qin is there

The two of them cooperated so naturally that no one else could get in the way.

The clear water gradually turned dark, with a lot of dust floating in it.

Qiao Qin felt nothing while washing the rag. After finishing her work, when she went to the bathroom to wash her hands, she scratched her hands twice, and instantly there were a few red marks on her fair hands.

The more it scratched, the more itchy it became. She scratched it twice and the red marks became more obvious, so she washed it several times with hand sanitizer.

Today is Friday, so you can get out of school early. After everyone has completed their tasks, they will go home one after another.

When Qiao Qin returned to the classroom, most of her classmates had left. She was about to load up the exercises and go home, but found that Xilin was still there.

"Aren't you going back?" she asked.

"I want it back." Xilin pulled out a set of exercise books from the book, and his eyes fell on the conspicuous red marks on her arms, "What's wrong with your hands?"

Qiao Qin lowered her head and looked disapprovingly: "The water must be dirty. It will probably disappear in a while."

Xilin frowned and seemed to have thought of the sewage just now. He stood up and walked out: "Wait for me downstairs."

Qiao Qin looked at his back and said, "I'm going home."

She bought a high-speed train ticket for six o'clock, but she would be late on the high-speed train for a while.

Xilin has already gone downstairs, and I don't know if he heard her voice.

Qiao Qin looked for textbooks and exercise books on the table, put them one by one into her schoolbag, then picked up her schoolbag, then looked at the two exercise books on Xilin's table, took them up with him, and went downstairs.

staircase.

She saw Xilin running back with a stick of ointment in his hand.

Looking at the direction, I should be heading to the campus hospital.

Xilin came over and handed the ointment to her: "You can rub it on."

He knew that her home was in the next city, and she had to take a bus to the high-speed rail station, then take the high-speed rail back, then change trains, and it would take several hours to get home.

Qiao Qin took it, looked at the ointment, and left without hurrying. She handed him his textbook, took off the ointment, and applied some on her hands in front of him.

Not to mention, it was very itchy just now, and there was some bleeding after being scratched by her. It looked really serious.

Qiao Qin went back with her schoolbag on her back.

Before leaving, she thanked him and took the ointment.

Xilin looked at her slender back and the small strip of sweet-scented osmanthus yogurt-flavored gummy candy in her hand. It was stuffed by Qiao Qin to him before she left. According to her, it had a very special taste and he was reluctant to open it.

Qiao Qin caught the high-speed train in the last two minutes before departure. She was really lucky. She didn't waste any time and could get home as quickly as possible.

She chose a seat by the car window. After sitting down, she held her chin and turned to look at the scenery passing by outside the window. After watching it for a while, she put on her headphones to listen to music and closed her eyes to relax.

Qiao Qin doesn't go home every weekend because she's far away and has to rush around on Fridays and Sundays. She doesn't like this feeling. She usually goes home once a month and can study at school on the weekends, or

Go for a walk outside alone.

She has attended boarding school since elementary school and is no stranger to this kind of life.

Although Qiao Qin looks smart and cheerful on the outside, she is actually a person who is used to being alone.

She comes from a divorced family. Father Qiao and mother Qiao divorced when she was very young. They started their own families. Both of them have hot tempers. The reorganized family is not happy. She has too much time to take care of herself, let alone talk nonsense about her.

.

Qiao Qin became a burden and was raised by her grandparents. When she was a child, they had not yet retired and could not take care of her, so she was sent to boarding school.

She had food to eat and books to read. When she was a child, her wish was that simple. Later, when she entered junior high school, everyone targeted her, so she began to imitate the behavior of those popular people.
