Kiss!

In the evening, after self-study, Qin Rao bid farewell to Zhong Lin at the station.

When I got off at the station, I saw Qin Shan at the station as expected, because there was no street light on that road, Qin Shan came here to pick her up at night since yesterday.

Qin Rao got out of the car and walked over quickly, "Dad, didn't you say you don't come to pick me up? Why are you here again?"

Qin Shan smiled and said, "Isn't it because you are afraid of the dark when you walk alone? But when I saw it on the way here just now, the street lights have been repaired, and they are brighter than the new ones before."

Before entering the alley, I saw a row of street lamps installed in the alley, one every ten meters or so, illuminating the originally dark and deep path very brightly.

"I will come to pick you up every day from now on." Qin Shan said.

"No, there are street lights, and I'm not afraid of the dark."

Qin Shan said: "There was a group of gangsters in this area before, you know?"

Qin Rao's heart skipped a beat.

What happened that night, she didn't let Qin Shan know, mainly because she was afraid that he would worry.

"Why are you asking them all of a sudden?" She was a little nervous.

Qin Shan said: "Those gangsters are said to have been arrested."

Qin Rao slowed down, "Really?"

"It's true, it is said that they were arrested on Sunday, and one of them lives in the building behind our building."

Qin Rao couldn't help thinking, what happened on Saturday, those people were arrested on Sunday, and now the street lights are installed.

She thought of that person that night, and she didn't know if the following things had anything to do with him, and she didn't know if she would meet him again in the future.

As soon as he got home, Qin Shan pointed to the kitchen, "There is food left in the pot for you."

After finishing speaking, he returned to his own room.

Qin Rao walked into the kitchen, lifted the lid of the pot, and looked at the fried food in the pot, her eyes suddenly turned red.

Qin Shan's liver cancer is at an advanced stage, and she knows that his health is already very bad now. She has walked countless times from the station to his home, and the total distance is less than 500 meters. Also getting whiter.

He is supporting his body and walking with her the last part of his life.

So that even if she is alone after school, as long as she thinks of the warmth of the father and daughter walking that road, she will not be afraid on the way home.

Qin Rao burst into tears unconsciously.

The bedroom door clicked, and she quickly wiped away her tears and reached for the dishes in the pot.

"I forgot just now. You like to dip your fried rice in vinegar. I just ran out of vinegar at home. I..."

Qin Shan's nagging stopped because he saw Qin Rao's red eyes.

"One by one..." He sighed and called her.

"Father." Qin Rao couldn't bear it all at once, and stepped forward to hug Qin Shan.

Qin Shan said with a smile: "You are a 16-year-old girl, and you will be an adult in two years. Why are you still crying while hugging your father?"

Qin Rao sobbed, "You can spend more time with me."

"Okay." He patted her on the back, gritted his teeth to hold back the tears welling up in the corner of his eyes, and comforted him, "Daddy will definitely be with you all the time."

He also wanted to, wanted to watch his girl grow up, watch her get married and have children, and live happily ever after.

……

Those were the most chaotic days in Qin Rao's life.

She was so busy taking care of Qin Shan and studying that she didn't even notice that Zhong Lin was gradually estranged from her.

In the last class in the morning, when the bell rang, everyone rushed to the cafeteria shouting and hungry.

Qin Rao put away the test questions on the table, turned her head and asked Zhong Lin next to her, "Going to eat?"

Zhong Lin said lightly: "You go first."

"Aren't you together?"

Zhong Lin smiled and said nothing, she lowered her head and cleaned up the things on the table, ignoring her.

Qin Rao finally came to his senses, Zhong Lin seemed to be in a bad mood these days, and she was deliberately avoiding her.

At noon that day, I ran into Zhong Lin in the cafeteria. The two walked towards each other, but Zhong Lin walked past her as if she didn't see her.

Being treated like this by a friend always makes people feel uncomfortable.

But Qin Rao is a person who is good at introspection. She thinks that because she neglected Zhong Lin during this time, she has some opinions about herself. She wanted to have a good chat with Zhong Lin after dinner and break the ice.

It was only when she returned to the classroom that she realized that Zhong Lin had exchanged places with another classmate. She had asked her to go first in the classroom just to pack her things.

Qin Rao stood on the chair for a long time without saying a word, and the other students in the classroom were all looking at her.

"Are you alright, Qin Rao?"

Qin Rao hooked the corners of her lips, squeezed out a smile, shook her head and said, "It's okay."

In the third monthly exam in the first semester of the second year of high school, Qin Rao was still the second in the grade, while Zhong Lin's ranking fell directly outside the three hundred.

In the last class in the morning, Zhang Lang came in with the report card, and after reading everyone's rankings, he said, "Zhong Lin will come to the office after class."

Qin Rao went to the cafeteria to buy two meals and went back to the classroom to wait for Zhong Lin.

When Zhong Lin came back from the office, her complexion was particularly bad. She lay down on the table, and her shoulders began to shake after a while.

Qin Rao walked over and sat down next to Zhong Lin, put the rice on the table, patted Zhong Lin lightly, "I've made rice for you."

She heard that Zhong Lin's parents were divorcing, and she didn't know if this had affected Zhong Lin, so although she had been estranged recently, she was still happy to have a chat with Zhong Lin.

Zhong Lin said without raising her head, "I don't want to eat."

The students all went to eat and haven't come back. Only a few students in the front row brought their own meals so they didn't go.

Qin Rao whispered: "Do you have time after school? I've sorted out the important points, you..."

Zhong Lin suddenly raised her head, "Do you think you are particularly powerful?"

The students in the front row looked back at the two of them, but neither spoke.

Qin Rao was stunned for a moment, "It was my aunt who called me. She said that you are in a particularly bad state recently. Let me chat with you."

"I don't care about it," Zhong Lin sneered, "Second in grade, how awesome is it? Don't you feel superior to give alms to others?"

Qin Rao is not a temperless person either, she pursed her lips and said, "If you see it as charity, then pretend I didn't say it."

She stood up, and Zhong Lin called to her behind her, "Take your meal away."

Qin Rao paused, and went back to get the meal, but Zhong Lin just pushed the lunch box, the lunch box slid across the table and turned down, hitting Qin Rao.

Tangtangshuishui flowed down Qin Rao's trouser legs, all the way onto the white sneakers.

Zhong Lin herself was also stunned.

The meal I just got back from the phone call was still quite hot. If I hadn't dressed thickly in winter, I would probably have been scalded.

The students in the front row rushed over to wipe Qin Rao with a tissue, and gave Zhong Lin a disgusted look.

"What are you doing? You don't need to splash it on people if you don't want to eat it, right? What's wrong with you? You didn't pass the exam and you blame others?"

Zhong Lin originally wanted to apologize, but what her classmates said made her dispel this idea.

Why?She has good grades and looks beautiful. She doesn't need to do anything to be liked by others. Even being friends with herself seems to be giving alms.

Qin Rao silently wiped her trousers and shoes with a paper towel, and was about to tidy up the floor when her classmate pushed her, "You go to the toilet to do it first, and I'll do it here."

Although she was such a good friend before, Qin Rao didn't know why she suddenly became like this now, but she didn't think it was her fault.

Some people can't be friends for life, she doesn't force it.

The two were completely deadlocked.
