Chapter 155: Are you... going to leave with me?

~11 min read 2,077 words

In front of Xie Qin, Shen Li rarely mentioned her family matters.

Xie Qin, on the other hand, would always take the initiative to mention some of his family situation to her.

His mother did some small business, his father was a painter, and there was a little bastard brother who was still waiting to be fed.

"They... are quite good."

"It's just that they are a bit strict with me usually, and many things can't be done."

For example, dating at eighteen, falling in love.

It was time for them to go downstairs for dinner.

They sat in the lobby downstairs, boiling tea around the stove, chatting.

The landlady saw they were students and enthusiastically sent a plate of melon seeds, and also gave some local dried fruits, paired with a pot of hot tea. The air was filled with a pleasant tea fragrance, and this atmosphere had a sense of quiet and comfortable years.

The snow in Wuchuan City arrived on time as the weather forecast said.

At 8:30, a piece of snow fell from the sky.

Zhang Zixin was the first to notice, "Shen Li, look, it's snowing outside."

Shen Li turned her head through the glass outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

She saw the snow she couldn't see in Haishi in Wuchuan.

"Let's go, let's go out and see."

Shen Li followed Zhang Zixin to the courtyard. She curiously stretched out her hand, caught a snowflake, watched it fall into her palm, and began to melt, feeling a bit cold.

Xie Qin stood beside her, looking down at her, the corners of his lips hooking slightly: "Is it fun?"

Shen Li told him: "Xie Qin, this is the first time I've seen snow."

The first time with you.

Watching the ice and snow melt in her hand, the next second, she raised her head to look at him, and bumped into his eyes at a glance, and smiled at him slightly.

This snow fell bigger and bigger, and soon a layer was laid on the ground.

Zhang Zixin pulled her to build a very large snowman.

Just after building it, a snowball hit Zhang Zixin, "Zhou Mingyu, do you want to die? You still dare to hit me?"

Zhou Mingyu played dumb: "Who saw me hit you, don't mess with people."

Qiao Lang smiled gently and said: "I saw it."

Zhou Mingyu: "Hey, how can you still betray your teammates."

Zhang Zixin: "I knew it was you! Xu Zhouyuan, help me get him."

Xu Zhouyuan: "Coming, wife."

Zhang Zixin: "Shen Li, you hide to the side."

Shen Li finished building the snowman, her hands were frozen red and numb, so she walked to Xie Qin's side and put her hands into his pockets to warm up.

Xie Qin's warm palms wrapped her hands, which were frozen like ice cubes, "Better?"

Shen Li nodded, feeling the temperature of her hands gradually warming up, "Are you cold?"

"What do you think?" Xie Qin lowered his head, looking at her with interest, "Played enough, cold, and know to come find your partner."

Shen Li thought he was jealous because she didn't build a snowman with him and left him here.

She smiled and said: "In a while, I will accompany you to build another one." Then she lowered her voice and told him: "Bigger than the one I built with her."

This sentence probably pleased the person who was left out in the cold. Xie Qin hooked his lips and said in a very satisfied tone: "You are sensible."

Between his brows and eyes, it was still the arrogance of being invincible.

Shen Li stood beside Xie Qin, watching them playing.

Finally, Zhou Mingyu was lifted by the three of them and buried in the snow pile on the spot, and his scream was a bit tragic.

Seeing this scene, she curved her lips.

Daming Mountain was the two happiest and most joyful days she had spent.

The past short weekend.

Returning to school, the shops nearby were decorated for Christmas, and the festive atmosphere was heavy.

After December, it was January 12th, the winter break.

Today, the class teacher finally announced the winter break.

A burst of noisy cheers suddenly erupted in the class.

This was the holiday everyone had been looking forward to for a long time.

"Ah ah ah... finally on holiday, I miss the food my mom makes. The takeout here is expensive and tastes bad, I want to go home to find my mom... woo woo woo..."

"Did you grab a ticket?"

"Grabbed it, leaving tomorrow noon, I don't want to stay in this broken school for a second."

"Me too, at noon, let's take a taxi together then."

"Okay."

Zhang Zixin turned around and looked at Shen Li: "Shen Li, have you bought your ticket?"

Shen Li came back to her senses: "I forgot, I'm not in a hurry to go back, it doesn't matter if I go back later."

Zhang Zixin reminded her, afraid she would forget: "Oh oh, then you have to hurry, the dormitory will be locked the day after tomorrow."

"Mm."

Just then, Xie Qin, who was playing games with Xu Zhouyuan, spoke: "I bought you a business high-speed rail ticket for two o'clock in the afternoon."

A two or three-hour train ride, catching this time, and arriving home just in time for dinner.

Shen Li looked at him and asked softly: "When... did you buy it."

Xie Qin: "The day we watched the snow at Daming Mountain, I thought of it and bought it."

That day...

The class teacher happened to send a notice about the holiday in the group. Shen Li didn't play with her phone much, nor did she look at the class group messages much. Xie Qin glanced at it, saw the message, and thought of helping her buy it.

Zhang Zixin: "Yo, this boyfriend is so thoughtful."

Seeing her praise another man, Xu Zhouyuan immediately became unhappy: "Wife, am I not thoughtful? Why do you praise him in front of me, humph~ I'm angry."

"Alright alright, you are good too. You are better than him, you are the most handsome!" Zhang Zixin turned around and touched Xu Zhouyuan's head to smooth his fur.

Xu Zhouyuan was satisfied and happy.

After this game was finished, Zhou Mingyu put down his phone, stood up and stretched, and couldn't help but sigh: "Time passes so fast, feeling like I haven't done anything, and this semester has passed."

"Living like this, I have a sense of guilt in my heart."

Xu Zhouyuan: "You are sighing? Pretending to be your mother."

Zhou Mingyu: "F, what I said is the truth, time really passes fast, haven't you discovered it?"

Every day is either eating and sleeping, or playing games.

Closing and opening eyes, inexplicably a day has passed.

Too boring.

Shen Li felt the same, time... passes really fast.

Unknowingly, she had been here for so long.

Today's course ended, and more than half of the people in the class who lived nearby went home first.

Dating Xie Qin, Shen Li also appeared obviously a bit absent-minded.

They just walked around near the school.

Had a meal.

Then took a walk.

Until 9:15 in the evening, at this time, there were usually quite a few people rushing back to the dormitory in these last one or two minutes, but now there was no one around, and it was much colder.

Downstairs of the girls' dormitory, Xie Qin stopped, his eyes staring at her deeply, and he touched her forehead: "Are you not feeling well today?"

She was especially quiet.

Quiet to the point of being a bit wrong.

Shen Li looked up: "Nothing, maybe just sleepy."

Xie Qin nodded without suspicion: "Then okay, sleep early, I'll come to pick you up tomorrow."

"Mm"

Shen Li returned to the dormitory, where there were only her and Zhang Zixin.

Zhao Zhouyuan left at five in the afternoon.

Zhang Zixin was packing things, things to take home tomorrow, a whole large suitcase, filled with quite a few clothes.

Seeing Shen Li who came back from the date, "Aren't you packing things?"

"I'll pack tomorrow."

"Oh oh."

Seeing her like this, she didn't seem to be in a hurry to go back.

Suddenly, while packing halfway, Zhang Zixin thought of something and asked her: "Are you really prepared to repeat a year?"

Shen Li paused for a while, and told her hesitantly: "Let's talk about it after the winter break, I haven't thought about it yet."

Zhang Zixin nodded: "Then okay, when you decide, tell me. We'll gather together then."

"Okay."

She said again: "I quite support you repeating a year."

Shen Li looked at her, "..."

Zhang Zixin: "I feel that everyone's path is different, maybe my path is not in studying. Although now... I don't know what I want to do, I haven't thought about it yet. When I think about it, I probably should do quite well. You, try to repeat a year if you can, get into a better university, it's better than muddling through."

Her concern and care made Shen Li feel a warm warmth in her heart, she smiled: "Xie Qin said the same."

Zhang Zixin returned her a beautiful smile: "Because... people who care about you will hope you become better."

Life is only a few tens of thousands of days, who is willing to be mediocre and accomplish nothing in this life.

After the lights went out, Zhang Zixin played with her phone for a while and went to sleep at eleven.

Going home tomorrow, she slept very early tonight.

Shen Li lay on the bed, eyes open, looking at the pitch black, thinking about some things, which made her a bit unable to sleep.

But she didn't know what she was thinking.

Her brain was blank.

Thinking and thinking...

The day dawned.

By six or seven in the morning, the day dawned, Shen Li was drowsy, and only then had a bit of sleepiness.

Just didn't sleep for long.

Zhang Zixin's phone alarm rang, she got up to wash, packed up, and not long after, she heard her pull the suitcase.

Before leaving, Zhang Zixin saw she hadn't woken up, so she didn't disturb her, and closed the door very lightly and left.

Soon, the dormitory fell into silence.

Xie Qin called her at eleven to wake her up.

At noon, they had a meal near the school.

Then Xie Qin drove to send her to the high-speed rail station.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Shen Li slept for a while.

Xie Qin turned his head and glanced at her, didn't wake her up, there was still time, so he slowed down and drove very steadily.

Wuchuan University, Chengde University had a relatively early holiday.

The road conditions today weren't that congested.

Drove for more than an hour.

Arriving at the destination, the car stopped. Xie Qin unbuckled his seatbelt, saw the person still sleeping, and leaned forward, his turning gaze looking at her several times, "Tsk, what's wrong with you, who did you chat with behind my back last night, didn't sleep all night?"

Shen Li opened her eyes, her sleepy eyes saw the face close at hand, "Are we there?"

Xie Qin curved his lips, dragging his lazy tail: "Not yet. You sleep a bit more, I'll call you when we arrive."

Shen Li believed it, closed her eyes, and wanted to sleep a bit more.

Xie Qin laughed lowly, unbuckled her seatbelt: "You, why are you so easy to fool, you believe everything I say. Wake up, we're here!"

So fast...

Shen Li got out of the car without much spirit. Xie Qin dragged her suitcase all the way into the station.

Waiting for a while, the high-speed rail arrived on time.

She lowered her head, the whole person still a bit dazed.

Xie Qin grabbed her hand and held it, entering the business carriage.

Shen Li sat by the window, Xie Qin put her luggage away, and sat down beside her.

Shen Li turned her head and stared at him for a long time, "Are... you going with me?"

Xie Qin: "Not allowed?"

The two were silent for a moment.

Shen Li pursed her lips lightly, "... no."

A moment later, Xie Qin's posture lowered a bit unconsciously: "I won't let your family see me, I'll just secretly follow behind and watch you go home, okay?" ===== CHAPTER 156 =====
