Chapter 26 Chapter25 Shrimp in the River Freestyle Swim

The results of the mid-term exam came out, Ah Heng got good grades, and was in the top three of his grade.Xin Taiyi's science has always been good in the grade, so even if the liberal arts is weaker, the total score is still in the top 20 of the grade. Yan Xi's grades are not as outstanding as other people's. They are quite satisfactory and have no bright spots, but they can't find faults either. What surprised everyone was Mary's grades. They thought that he was a special student and had just returned from Vienna.Although not at the top, it is still on the list, and can be called a good student in the general sense.

"How did he pass the test? He got five points more in physics than me." Xin Dayi muttered in a low voice, a hundred times unconvinced in his heart. Ah Heng is funny, she knows he can't let it go, no matter what channel or what trivial matter he grabs, he will always make use of the topic to play out his brooding. After all, she believed that Xin Dayi really and passionately liked Chen Juan before he knew his gender.However, the gap was too great, and he was not used to using too deep and sensitive thoughts to lead himself to an extreme demon, so he could only simply and honestly let this emotion wear away, and replaced it with childish hostility.

However, this is also good. "Aheng, do you want an apple?" Her deskmate smiled as beautifully as rose dew drops. This young man was still wearing women's clothing, and even dyed his hair rose red to accentuate his unique beauty and edges. And recently, because the few of them shared his secrets, the original slutty enthusiasm in his character was fully displayed. "apple?" "Yes, apple, do you want to eat it?" Chen Juan smiled, arched his back slightly, dug his hand under the table for a long time, took out an apple, straightened up, and handed it to Ah Heng.

The left chest is obviously flatter than before. "You, fill your chest with apples?" Ah Heng blushed. "Yes, sometimes, it's oranges. Do you want to eat them? I'll bring them to you tomorrow." Chen Juan smiled strangely. Xin Dayi's face turned green, he was indignant, and cursed: "Pervert!" Chen Juan looked back, and the answer was perfect: "I'm perverted, I'm happy!" Yan Xi listened to the quarrel between the two, a little warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and looked out the window for a long time, as if enduring something that had to be endured, he turned his head slightly, caught Ah Heng's gaze that had been peeking at him, and tried hard Keep your tone from being indifferent to strangers: "What are you looking at?"

Ah Heng's black eyes were stunned, his face was burning, and he was a little embarrassed. After a long time, he said softly: "You are... so pretty." After she said this, Yan Xi was surprised, and even Xin Dayi looked at her in disbelief.They didn't expect Ah Heng, who has always been thin-skinned, to say such unreserved words. This sentence was the one that A Heng said when he was still a stranger Yan Xi had to get close to, which annoyed him the most.He hated people he didn't know stamped on him like this: Good looking. Such a straightforward desire really made him sick from the bottom of his heart.However, for Ah Heng, in such a desperate crush, this sentence was the only outrageous thing she said.

It looks so good. It looks so good. Yan Xi will never understand that such words, such a simple love, make those who know them very close to heartbreak. Ah Heng will always remember that Yan Xi's response to her that day was just a calm and cold sentence: "So what?" On weekends, Siwan asks Ah Heng to give a make-up lesson to an acquaintance.In the end, he couldn't go because of something, so he threw her to Yanxi who wanted to go together. Yan Xi led her through Mao'er Alley, turning here and there.The stone lions and fish washing on both sides of the alley have been worn out after time, but they still have the charm of the ancient capital.

"Here we are." Yan Xi said lightly, and pushed open the door of the courtyard with a hand as white as jade.The yard looked broken, as if it hadn't been refurbished for a long time, like an old man in his twilight years, looking old. "Brother Yan Xi, you are here! Didn't Brother Siwan come, you brought the teacher too?" The child's happy voice. Ah Heng fixed his eyes and saw the little boy in the hat. He was thin and small, and he was wearing some old and some big cotton T-shirts, which didn't fit very well, but his face was cute and lively, and his eyes were as nimble as small fish in clear water.This child was the little shrimp that Yan Xi and the others talked about the day they fought.

"This is your brother Siwan's younger sister. You should call her older sister." Yan Xi rubbed the child's hat with a smile, her face was rare and gentle. "Hello, sister! My grandfather's surname is He, and my name is He Xia. Everyone calls me Xiao Xia." The young boy looked at her with a strong voice, feeling a little nervous. "I'm Wen Heng." Ah Heng pursed his lips and smiled. "Your elder sister Wen Heng is very good at studying. From now on, let her help you with your homework every weekend. You will definitely be admitted to high school next year, you know?" Yan Xi held the child's hand with a lively expression.

"Can I go to Xilin?" Xiao Xia asked with his head tilted. "Why Xilin?" Ah Heng wondered. "I want to go to the same school as Brother Yanxi, Dayi, and Siwan." The child counted on his fingers. Yanxi got up, with a smile in her eyes, and asked her tentatively. Ah Heng felt that this child was eccentric, coupled with the fact that he was about the same age as Zai Zai, people couldn't help but love him, so he nodded with a smile. "Xiao Xia, where's your grandfather?" Yan Xi remembered something. "Grandpa went to set up a stall." The child answered readily.

"Don't you need to help him?" Yan Xi pondered. "Grandpa said, he wants me to study hard with Brother Yan Xi, and not to guard the stall." The child pouted slightly, a little disappointed. Ah Heng glanced at Yan Xi, but found that his eyebrows were retracted.She smiled, and said softly to the child, "Xiao Xia, let's start." Xiao Xia will be promoted to the third grade in the second half of the year. The child is a smart child, but the foundation is not good.Thinking about it, Ah Heng began to teach from the contents of the textbook. "So, with the formula for finding the root, the result should be..."

"I know, it's -3 and 1, right?" The child answered excitedly. "Huh? No." "Ah, did I calculate wrong again?" The child's face was downcast, very disappointed. "Let me see... Hehe, the square of 5, you wrote 26. You made a mistake in the root sign, it should be 0. The result is only one root, 2." Ah Heng smiled, "Okay, next, the third question." While writing the question, the child peeked at Ah Heng's face. "Xiao Xia, what's the matter?" Ah Heng tilted his head, his clear face was gentle and quiet. "Sister, why didn't you scold me?" The child was full of doubts, "Our teachers all called me stupid, disliked me, and said I was a hindrance in the class." Ah Heng was stunned for a while, then smiled, showing eight teeth: "You don't either, I hate, my sister's Mandarin." "Sister speaks very nicely, soft, like cotton candy." Cotton candy, cotton candy, the child muttered, drooling. By the time the homework was all taught, it was almost dusk. As soon as the two of them stretched their waists, Yan Xi's voice sounded clear in the yard, like a gust of refreshing wind: "Xiao Xia, Wen Heng, come out!" Ah Heng took the child's hand and walked into the yard, but was completely haunted by the white eyes and the tangy fragrance. There is a pagoda tree in the yard, the trunk is very thick, about three people can hold hands to surround it, and the pagoda trees on the branches are in full bloom. Yan Xi found a bamboo rake from somewhere, stood under the tree, stretched out his arms, and swung the rake back and forth to beat the Sophora japonica. Sophora japonica flowers fly down one after another, from the top of the boy's hair, along the track of the wind, gently slide down, return to the dust, white, pure, beautiful, warm and vivid. The boy in the petals, with a bright smile, waved towards them, full of vitality. Ah Heng sniffed lightly, in the air, there were bits and pieces of densely accumulated so-called comfortable breath. Xiao Xia ran to the kitchen to get a dustpan, gathered up the fallen pagoda tree flowers at the boy's feet, raised his head, and smiled contentedly on his small face: "Brother Yan Xi, enough is enough." "Sneeze!" Yan Xi retracted the rake, a petal floated to the wing of his nose, scratched it, and he sneezed. Xiao Xia hugged the dustpan and smiled at Ah Heng: "Sister, I'll steam acacia flowers for you, do you like it?" Steam Sophora japonica? She nodded, and the child ran to the kitchen in a hurry. "Wen Heng, thank you today." Yan Xi gently rubbed his nose with his index finger, his tone was a little unnatural, and his bright black eyes moved around. "You're welcome." A Heng accepted Yan Xi's thank you, surprised in his heart, but on the surface, he answered gently. "Ah, it's really been a long time since I thanked anyone, I'm really not used to it..." Yanxi was embarrassed, smiled, spread her hands, and laughed at herself. When Xiao Xia ran out again, he carried the aluminum basin to Ah Heng and Yan Xi, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his little face was flushed: "Sister, Brother Yan Xi, you eat." A Heng looked at the snow-white and crystal-clear petals in the pot, squeezed a pinch into his mouth with his hands, it was the taste of old memories, sweet and mellow: "It's delicious." A Heng pursed his lips, with a gentle smile in his eyes. The little shrimp was proud, with his arms wrapped around the back of his head, and his smile was full of the innocence and joy of the shrimp swimming in the stream. Ah Heng stretched out his hand to wipe off the dust on the child's face, but unexpectedly, the child rushed over and hugged her: "Sister, I like you, you are a good person." Ah Heng was taken aback, she was not used to such a sudden warm feeling, but what followed was the feeling of moving in her internal organs. Her stiff fingers gradually softened, and she slowly hugged the little boy back. Her clear and gentle face was flushed, and she spoke softly, "Thank you." Yan Xi smiled lightly, leaned against the tree and stretched, looking at the sky, it was covered with golden clouds. When leaving, Yan Xi did not go the same way. He took Ah Heng to the other entrance of the alley, facing the main street.As soon as you enter your eyes, you will see the endless stream of people. "Xiao Xia's grandfather is right there." Yan Xi gently pointed at the entrance of the alley. Ah Heng stared, the entrance of the alley was a bicycle repair stall.An old man with mottled hair, wearing a blue cloth shirt, hunched over in front of the bicycle, raised one end of his callused big hand, turned the wheel to check something, looking serious and old.She even saw the aging spots on the old man's arms and every mark of time on his face. This old man, how many bicycles have to be pumped up and how many damaged tires have to be repaired are enough to maintain the livelihood of two people. "So, Xiao Xia, why did you steal it?" A long time ago, she remembered hearing Officer Fu say that Xiao Xia was a habitual thief. Yan Xi's voice was flat: "No way, a child with a long body is always hungry." "Xiao Xia, where are Mom and Dad?" She felt that her voice was extremely dry. "Xiao Xia is an outcast. If Grandpa He hadn't brought him home, it would have been difficult to survive." Yan Xi spoke softly, and the boy's voice was calm and indifferent. "Why, tell me?" Yan Xi smiled lightly, her black eyes were as bright as peach blossoms, light, but she couldn't see to the end. "I'm thinking, maybe you know, and you will cherish Xiaoxia's hug even more. He never does this to strangers. You are the first."
