Your flag is so pretty

There is a kind of person who is good at disguising himself as others see him. After a long time, he forgets who he is.

When Le You came home, she saw the table full of food, and felt a sense of unreality in the steaming heat.Qiao Aishan was still busy in the kitchen, when she heard the sound of the door, she laughed: "The baby is back."

The better others treat themselves, the more they feel ashamed and unworthy of this unreserved love.Even if the object is his biological mother, Le You still feels...he is not worthy.

During the meal, Qiao Aishan looked at him a little abnormally, and while picking up food for him, she casually mentioned: "Baby, what's wrong with you? Did you get your grades? Or did you encounter something unhappy..."

"No."

"Don't think too much. Didn't I tell you that even if you don't do well in the exam, I'll take you out and have a good time."

"I...Mom, can I..."

Those words are hard to say, even if he finally did what he wanted to do today and beat Song Qimin, but time has passed, and he can no longer make up for the many sufferings at that time.He had the courage to take revenge and hit someone, but that person was always so annoying in his heart, a gap that couldn't be bridged, a black hole that couldn't be filled.

He didn't even have the courage to face the memories directly, let alone explain the reasons clearly, and told Qiao Aishan that he wanted to transfer schools.

Under Qiao Aishan's concerned gaze, Le You was discouraged: "Can I skip breakfast tomorrow?"

Qiao Aishan breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably: "No."

Leyou returned to her room, for the first time she did not do her homework or review as planned, but lay directly on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

WeChat notification sound.

It was Qin Ling who asked him how to fry the steak.

Le You: "..." Do I look like someone who can cook?

Before waiting for a reply, Qin Ling sent another new message: "I may have taken you as my mother-in-law."

Leyou typed angrily: "...you are a mother."

Qin Ling held the phone, imagined Le You's expression now, and smiled.Xie Chi, who was waiting to be fed, began to beat the drum with a fork: "Brother, when can we have dinner!"

This time Qin Ling started to look up recipes on the Internet, cooking, it's a small thing, I'm not afraid!

Leyou didn't see Qin Ling talking after replying to the message. She was a little worried that he was angry, so she poked the dog's butt on Qin Ling's portrait.After a while, a photo suddenly came over. It was a heart-shaped steak. It was well presented and looked very attractive...

Behind the photo, Le You saw Qin Ling's ardent expectations for encouragement.

After thinking about the words, Leyou replied: "Well, it looks delicious, and the presentation is also beautiful. It's great to make this for the first time!"

Qin Ling: "Want to eat?"

Le You: "..."

Qin Ling: "Do you want to?"

Le You: "..."

Seeing that the teasing was about to go too far, Qin Ling put down his phone, and Xie Chi on the opposite side picked up his own piece of steak, looked at the big black piece, and asked dissatisfied: "Why are you in the shape of a heart? so?"

Qin Ling: "Mine is also fuzzy."

"...Fortunately, your brother has the foresight to order takeaway." Xie Chi didn't dare to try that obsessive steak in order to save his life. By the way, he felt sorry for the money for a wave of steak, and gave Qin Ling a disgusted look: "Prodigal brother."

Qin Ling, who was immersed in the chat with Leyou, didn't care what Xie Chi was talking about, and took a mouthful of the steak he had carefully trimmed.

Xie Chi: "... Can I eat it?"

Qin Ling: "Yes."

Xie Chi: "...If it doesn't work, stop holding on and spit it out."

Qin Ling: "It's delicious."

Xie Chi: "...the trash can is at the back, spit it out, I'm not kidding you."

Qin Ling: "..."

After three seconds.

Qin Ling gave up: "Forget it, I have a share in the takeaway."

When Leyou went to school the next day, he was still wondering if he would annoy Song Qimin. He should have a photo of himself in his hand... At that time, he was surrounded by people in the dormitory, kneeling on the ground, and he didn't remember Song Qimin. No photo was taken.

He was absent-minded, he didn't look at the car much while walking, and was dragged back by Qin Ling.

When he arrived at school, Leyou kept looking at Song Qimin's seat, but he didn't see him when the self-study started early.

As long as he is not in the same classroom space as him, Leyou's mood will be much easier, and he can concentrate more in class. I thought it was a coincidence, but I didn't expect that he didn't see Song Qimin for three days in a row.

After the results came out, Tan Chunshui asked the students to choose their own seats.Leyou's performance was a bit abnormal, No.18, the eighth in the Qinling Mountains, was ahead of him, advanced into the classroom, and chose a place that was ventilated and protected from light.

Leyou, who took the No.18 exam, wanted to walk back consciously, but he glanced at him when he passed Qinling.

"..."

Weakly walked to the empty seat beside Qin Ling and sat down.

The two at the same table, brother and sister, were called to the office by Tan Chunshui when class was over.

Tan Chunshui is straightforward, and he definitely talks about everything, which is why he is deeply loved by students. Leyou is glad that the two class teachers he met in high school were both responsible and patient. He knows that if the class teacher is replaced by someone else, he may not be able to stay in this school. .

Now, he was still flustered standing in front of Tan Chunshui. Tan Chunshui was stacking test papers of all their subjects. There were only some teachers in the office, and the small fan on Tan Chunshui's desk was spinning tirelessly.

"You two... Are you in a relationship?" Tan Chunshui could only come to this conclusion after much deliberation.

Leyou's expression was like a cat seeing a cucumber, looking at him in disbelief.

Qin Ling immediately said: "No."

Tan Chunshui looked at Leyou again: "What about you, have you talked to others?"

Le You: "..." It turned out that they were asking about their respective conditions...

Can it not be so scary!

She's still not her own head teacher!

Leyou could only shake her head immediately: "No, absolutely not."

"Then how did you fall down like this?" Tan Chunshui raised the two good-looking boys with good grades in his class as treasures. Over the past year, he has put in a lot of hard work. Ranked in the top ten in the grade, the results are very impressive.If there is no accident, as long as you work harder, your college entrance examination results may break the school's record in recent years.

He was afraid that the two students would bump into each other, so he didn't dare to let Qin Ling go out to play basketball casually. Sometimes even if there was a game with other classes, he would watch from the side. Had a fight.Not to mention Leyou, although his body looks a little weak, he has basically never asked for leave, and has a calmness and restraint that does not match his age.

Unexpectedly, the first exam at the beginning of school would give him a roller coaster of excitement. Tan Chunshui held his little heart and looked at them, waiting for an explanation.

Leyou knew the reason, it was purely her own psychological problem, anyway, she lost her mind when she saw Song Qimin.He was also very guilty, but he still couldn't control his emotions, so he could only lower his head and say, "I didn't pass the exam."

"Do you know why you failed the exam?"

"...I know, I will pay attention next time." Leyou admitted his mistake with a good attitude.

Tan Chunshui was afraid that the college entrance examination would be next time, but he couldn't push people too hard, and after a few words of comfort, he asked Le You to go back first.

Qin Ling followed along, when he heard a voice from beside him: "Stop."

was left alone in the office.

Tan Chunshui glanced at Qin Ling: "Find a stool for yourself."

Qin Ling knew that this was the posture before the long talk, and he did not wrong his legs, moved an empty chair and sat down.

"How is your uncle recently?" Tan Chunshui asked.

"It's okay." Qin Ling said: "I saw him once during the holiday, it's not bad."

A university professor, who still insists on teaching at the front line, is rigid and stubborn. Qin Ling doesn't like him, but he doesn't care.

"Say hello to him when we meet again someday." Tan Chunshui seemed to recall the past: "Mr. Qin is the most characterful teacher and senior I have ever met."

Qin Ling let out an oh.

"Tell me about you." The topic was brought back, Tan Chunshui said: "Song Qimin, a new classmate in our class, hasn't come to school for the past few days. His parents said that he fell while walking. Does this matter have something to do with you?"

What should come will always come.

Qin Ling was educated since he was a child to be brave, to beat who and what he did, and if someone asked him, he had to admit it.

He said: "I'm going to fight, he should fight."

Tan Chunshui is a graduate student under the supervision of Professor Qin, of course he also knows the family background of his mentor, even if he doesn't ask, it is clearly written on the Internet.He also knows... how strict the Qin family's family education is.

"Does your family know about this?"

Qin Ling said: "No, but I can bear any consequences."

"Are you threatening someone?"

Now that someone has been beaten, why didn't Song Qimin's parents come out to trouble the school?Tan Chunshui could only come up with one answer.

Qin Ling thought for a moment: "It's not a threat, he has a guilty conscience and is wrong."

"...You should also pay attention, especially in the third year of high school, and don't cause any trouble. If things become serious, it will be very difficult for everyone. If it is recorded in the file, it will not be easy to remove it."

"I know."

Qin Ling seemed to have a good attitude, but he really didn't want to get in. No matter how much Tan Chunshui ordered, it was useless, so he could only sigh: "You know everything, but when you get angry, you can't help it, can you?"

Qinling was noncommittal.

Tan Chunshui could only let go: "Their family didn't come forward about this matter, and the school won't find trouble on its own, but you really have to be careful. Anything can happen to this student on impulse now. A few days ago, the third class People standing outside were stabbed with knives, you know? So don’t always try to solve the conflicts between you, if you don’t pay attention, what should you do if things get bigger.”

He was afraid that the Qin family would lose face by then.

Although Qin Ling knew that the people in front of him were well-meaning, he was still impatient to hear them. He talked less and less recently, and was particularly annoyed to communicate with his classmates, not to mention Tan Chunshui's nagging like a curse.He didn't speak, Tan Chunshui had no choice but to let him go back to class after the class bell rang.

Seeing that the weekend was coming, Qin Ling asked Le You if he had any arrangements, and if he was free, he would go to play with them.

Leyou: "...I'm going to the library."

Qin Ling took a deep breath, he likes a quiet place, but definitely not a library.

"You said you'd go out with us next time."

Le You knew he was wrong, but he was in no mood now.

It's been a week, and I've been in a state of ignorance and gloom, unable to extricate myself, and the tight strings are getting tighter and tighter.

Finally, during the self-study session in the afternoon, Tan Chunshui suddenly said: "Well, where did you put Song Qimin's things? Clean up his desk, and walk with me later, and send it to him."

A curious person asked: "Teacher, what happened to him?"

"Transfer to another class." Tan Chunshui said, "You bastards take up too much space and are squeezed away."

After clearing away the clouds and mist, I finally saw a corner of the sun. Le You couldn't tell what mood he was in now. Qin Ling took the opportunity to ask, "How about it? Are you going? We won't go to places like KTV. We booked a party hall and went to barbecue."

Leyou: "...why don't you go directly to the barbecue?"

Qin Ling: "...I don't know, Xie Chi's pot." Anyway, he just went to eat meat.

So Leyou couldn't go home after school that night, so she called Qiao Aishan and said to go out to play with her classmates.

"Oh, good." Qiao Aishan said, "It happens that I have to work overtime tonight, baby, if it's too late, you can stay in a hotel outside, or trouble your classmates to stay at their house."

Leyou raised her forehead: "Understood."

It's not like he can't go back.

Qin Ling looked normal on the surface, he didn't even take his schoolbag away, unlike Leyou, who was wearing a school uniform and carrying a schoolbag, looking like a good student.

Le You: "..." I am a good student!

Meet Xie Chi at the door, the three of them take a taxi to the destination, school is over early on Saturday, and they can go home after class in the afternoon, the sun has not yet set, Leyou looks at the sunshine outside, and has the illusion of seeing the sun again.

Xie Chi started talking on the phone in the car, cursing at the same time: "If you don't know how to do it, just leave it there, don't set the fuck up on someone else's villa, no one will pay you."

Le You hugged her schoolbag vigilantly, turned her head and asked Qin Ling who was sitting next to her: "Where are we going?"

Qin Ling smiled: "I rented a villa and eat barbecue."

"Why do I feel like you guys are going to set fire..." Le Little White Rabbit You had an ominous premonition of being tricked into the car by the big bad wolf.

Xie Chi put down his phone, turned his head and looked at Le You: "Hey, it's okay, trust us, we won't sell you." As he spoke, he swept Le You back and forth with his eyes looking at how much money a catty would cost.

Le You: "..."

"By the way, Rui Ao is also here." Xie Chi thought of something, and asked Qin Ling again: "Are you all right?"

"Ah."

Xie Chi felt that this matter was really difficult to talk about, especially in front of Le You, he could only look at Qin Ling with deep meaning: "Le You is your classmate, you have to look after him."

Qin Ling had a cold face: "Understood, I can't run away."

Le You: "..."

Is it too late for me to get off now? ? ? ?

The answer is obviously no, because they get to the place very quickly.

There is an iron gate in front of it, and inside is a tunnel full of flowers, and two or three cars are parked not far away.The other two were wearing short-sleeved clothes, and only Leyou was wearing a school uniform, a little embarrassed to get in...

"It's okay, if you don't want to take it off, you can take it off." Qin Ling pushed him forward, lowered his head and whispered in his ear.

Passing through the tunnel is the garden, which has already been prepared. A few boys gathered around the oven and tried to light the fire. There were also many girls. More than a dozen men and women came to greet Xie Chi when they saw him.

Le You had no experience of gathering with strangers, Qin Ling ignored them, dragged Le You to sit on the bench swing next to him, and waved to Xie Chi: "Just bring it to us when it's baked."

Xie Chi: "Your uncle."

Qin Ling: "Well, it's also your uncle."

Xie Chi: "...fuck."

People were playing around together, and the girls were wearing beautiful little skirts. They didn't expect to become skewers in this place, and they had to skewer cut meat on iron skewers.There are also some girls who probably have cooking experience, roll up their sleeves, and direct as if they want to show off their cooking skills.

A blond curly-haired guy jumped out of the crowd, happily shouting "Tete, you are here", and then glanced at Qin Ling who was not far away.

Rui Ao had an aggrieved face: "Brother Ling is also here."

"Why, you don't want to see him?"

Rui Ao stared at the boy in school uniform next to Qin Ling again, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Le, Lele, Lele?"

Xie Chi went over and kicked him, "...it's been so fucking long, you still remember his name!"

"Of course! It's not like I haven't seen it before!" Rui Ao has been to Xie Chi and Qin Ling's house a few times, meeting Le You is considered a coincidence, every time he went up to say hello happily, but the two of them tacitly did not tell Rui Ao A cruel fact - Leyou lives next to them, in a small community.

It made Rui Ao think that it was fate that brought them together again every time, if it wasn't for the two people next to him blocking him, he would go up and confess his love to Le You!

Back then, Jinghong couldn't forget that the boy in the past was getting taller and more handsome, Rui Ao asked Xie Chi mysteriously: "Tete, the two of them are ordinary classmates, right?"

"Better than classmates, Leyou is our buddy, just tell me what you want."

"I didn't think about what to do..." Rui Ao said, "I want to go over and ask Le You which university she wants to go to."

Xie Chi: "Go."

"Well, help me transfer Brother Ling away."

There is nothing wrong with tuning the tiger away from the mountain.

Xie Chi understood Rui Ao's meaning in an instant, and he patted the latter's shoulder encouragingly: "You have to work hard yourself, muster up the courage to go up and ask, I believe you are the best."

"En!" Rui Ao nodded heavily, and suddenly gained courage, puffed up his chest, and swaggered over with two bottles of wine.

Le You's feeling towards... Rui Ao is quite good, at least he knows that this seemingly neurotic boy is not bad in nature.Seeing him coming, Qin Ling gave him a friendly smile, and glanced at Rui Ao: "Get lost!"

Rui Ao: "...Well, I just came here to ask you guys if you drink, what kind of flavor do you like? If you don't like it over there, you should be busy first. I won't bother you. I'll leave and see you..."

Good courage is a lie!Rui Ao cried and went back to complain to Xie Chi.

Le You looked at the wine on the stone table, and felt that Qin Ling's tone just now was too fierce: "Why are you so fierce to him..."

Qin Ling: "It's okay, he's just like that, he likes others to be cruel to him."

Leyou: "???"

can you? ? ?

Qin Ling smiled ambiguously: "Don't ask too much, you are still young, you will know about such things later."

Le You: "..."

Then Le You put her eyes on Rui Ao, seeing that he was quite normal, for some reason Qin Ling said that he was a little...unlike a normal person.The attitude of others towards Rui Ao is not the same as that of Qin Ling towards him. In the final analysis, Le You came to the conclusion that Qin Ling is the villain.

Then he looked at Rui Ao with sympathy.

Qin Ling was sitting here, and many people came up to say hello, but seeing Qin Ling's face was as cold as Changbai Mountain, they exchanged some awkward greetings and ran away.

Le You sat obediently on the side drinking a cocktail with a straw, and the swing swayed slowly, making him hungry.

A girl came over with grilled skewers, stood by and looked at Leyou, and asked, "Qin Ling, my classmates..."

"Ah."

"Didn't you bring your girlfriend?" The girl tilted her head to look at Leyou.

Leyou smiled awkwardly: "Hi, my name is Leyou."

"Le You, oh... that's the handsome guy Rui Ao always mentioned!" The girl generously extended her hand to shake hands with Le You: "My name is Xiao Susu, you look so good-looking."

"..." Le You squeezed her fingertips and then let go. She didn't know how to respond, so she could only laugh.

"There's a room inside, isn't it hot if you're still wearing your school uniform? Put your schoolbag in there too." Xiao Susu pointed to the villa behind and said, "We've reserved the night and watched horror movies together at night, so don't leave early."

This proposal is... very good.Qin Ling glanced at Xiao Susu faintly, and for the first time did not chase him away, but said: "Old Xiao, have you changed your partner recently?"

Xiao Susu felt overwhelmed, and was almost moved to tears.A group of them didn't dare to approach casually just now, and they could guess from Qin Ling's expression that he was not in a good mood today, and they didn't dare to be the first bird again.

Xiao Susu and Qin Ling grew up together. They have been friends for many years, and they have never heard of Qin Ling taking the initiative to care about her love life. She shook her head with the urge to cry: "Well, it's changed. I talked about it before. I didn't expect it to be a little boy. One day He tried every means to get money from me to subsidize his ex-girlfriend." Speaking of emotion, he wiped away tears: "I was cheated very badly, you have to help me avenge..."

Leyou was at a loss at first, but Qin Ling said, "Hold back." Xiao Susu seemed to be okay again, showing a smiling face: "I went back to roast the chicken wings, and I'll bring them to you when they're done. Eat it quickly, it won't taste good when it gets cold."

Le You: "..."

Qin Ling showed Le You the food piled up on the plate, and showed him: "Did you see, these people are half crazy like Rui Ao, half are playwrights, don't take anything seriously when they joke, this group of people People are abnormal."

Le You: "...What about you? You are not friends..."

Qin Ling looked at him thoughtfully: "I'll get out of the mud and not be stained, okay?"

Le You: "Okay, okay." Cannibal's mouth is short, and his hands are short. Leyou is eating skewers and drinking wine, watching them having fun together with their peers, and suddenly feels...

Life is pretty good too.

Qin Ling touched his hair.

"God is fair." For some unknown reason, the topic suddenly became mysterious.

But it was quickly beaten back to its original shape.

"Look at them all, they look good, they live a good life, they have no worries about food and clothing, but they are sick! So you have to be happy, don't think too much about nothing, talk to others when you have something to say, and hold back all day long. Let’s see, what should I do if I get sick.”

Leyou blinked and pretended not to understand anything.

But he suddenly felt that the Qinling Mountains in front of him were a little blurry, as if being immersed in mist.

The light of the setting sun fell on him.

Qin Ling raised the corners of his lips and laughed.

Like snow and ice on a high mountain, it melts quietly.
