Years old

When Qi Songyan looked over, Qin Di was holding the scissors and stood up, his gaze was obviously cold, but it made his heart shiver.His footsteps were slightly slow, but he still walked over quickly when Qi Songyan knelt down to pick up the tiles.

"Don't pick it up, just sweep it and scratch it."

Qi Songyan's throat felt uncomfortable, he let out a low "um", and straightened up without looking at him.This surprised Qin Di.Shouldn't he just smiled and said "I'll clean it up if it's okay", who is this undisguised displeasure directed at?To the cup that he jumped to his death?

Qin Di took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to him. Qi Songyan clenched his fist and lowered his head to accept it. He didn't even say a polite "thank you" and silently wiped the coffee liquid that splashed on his arm.

Qin Di didn't speak anymore, and took the broom handed by others to clean it up. Qi Songyan reached out and held the broomstick, raised his eyes, and said, "Let me do it."

Qin Di looked at him for two seconds, let go, and stood aside to watch him finish sweeping, then took the mop to wipe off the residue.This time Qi Songyan didn't grab it, and walked out of the classroom with him carrying the tools to the water room.

It happened that the cleaning aunt was picking up the garbage accumulated during the lunch break. Qin Di threw the mop into the sink and greeted affectionately: "Auntie, do you have any waste plastic bags? Please bring some for me. The cup accidentally broke."

The auntie saw that it was him, and immediately responded with a smile: "Yes, I will bring you some thick ones, here."

Qin Di thanked her aunt, propped her pockets, and raised her chin to Qi Songyan, making herself familiar with the road with ease.Qi Songyan cooperated with him to pour the pieces in, and he twisted and twitched his hand deftly to make a tight knot. He casually took the marker pen tied to the doorknob, and wrote "Broken porcelain pieces, danger!" stroke by stroke. A word, and blackened some.

"That's all right, give it to me, just go downstairs and dump it together." The aunt took the small bag, dragged the trash can and went out.

"Thank you, Auntie!" Qin Di chased after him and shouted, turning around, Qi Songyan was staring at the mop in the pool in a daze.

He stood over and coughed, "It hurts so much to break a glass?"

Qi Songyan turned to look at him, seeming to feel that his words were a bit abrupt, and frowned again.

"Oh, I don't know you yet, I'm so abrupt. My name is Qin Di." He stretched out his hand, his eyes curved into two shallow bends.

Qi Songyan slipped his Adam's apple for a moment, and held his hand.Cool, like the first handful of clear water flowing out of the faucet in the morning, soaking in the cracks in the bones, making people awake instantly. "Hi, my name is Qi..."

Qin Di suddenly approached, "Qi Miao, hello."

Qi Songyan didn't know what expression to put on. In fact, a gentle smile at this moment could meet this playful provocation without losing his sense of proportion. But as soon as he moved the corner of his mouth, Qin Di casually let go of his hand and stepped back. Taking a step forward, he said jokingly, "If you don't want to laugh, then don't laugh."

"The handkerchief is stained with coffee, I'll return it after I go back and wash it." Qi Songyan abruptly left the topic.

Qin Di was about to say something, but when he looked down and saw Qi Songyan's slender hand holding his handkerchief, he changed his mind: "Then give me some fragrance."

Qi Songyan nodded helplessly.

The class bell rang in good time, and they walked back to the classroom with their tools in their hands. Several students who were walking back to class on the bell ran past them, and they all looked back at the same time, as if they had discovered something new.

Qi Songyan still didn't show up for dinner, Tong Chenxing didn't bother to scold him any more, and snorted from his nostrils with a sneer.Li Mingxuan made a final struggle to Qin Di with a sullen face: "Di, I think he was serious about copying your notes this afternoon. He must thank you very much. He just admits his life, so I'm sorry."

"Okay, don't help him find love. As for him, it's not because of anything, it's just that he doesn't like me." The small yellow croaker for dinner was freshly fried, and it was still steaming when it was torn open. Qin Di The corner of his mouth was hooked, and he couldn't see the slightest bit of displeasure.

"Did he flirt with you? Called his number? Aligned?" Tong Chenxing slammed his chopsticks on the dinner plate, and uttered parallel questions.

"No. It feels like he is so low-key. He should instinctively hate people who talk like me. But at noon, he dropped the glass. I greeted him in the water room and introduced myself. I hope to treat me well in the future." Can you be less hostile?"

Qin Di is used to being classified as "other people's child".He has top grades since he was a child, he is fair and clean, he smiles at everyone, and he is especially good with the opposite sex. In addition, he has gained a lot of limelight with his literary talent and language talent, so it is not uncommon for him to be looked down upon by some boys. thing.It's just that he has always been favored by the teacher, and he has no flaws. He is rarely found in big trouble. Occasionally, he encounters small bumps and bumps, and he forgets them.The few boys in the class gradually got to know each other as time went by, and they became a bonded relationship, so he could understand the faint hostility towards him from Qi Songyan, a low-key handsome student who had just arrived.

"Hey, speaking of classes, what is your class going to do in this sports meeting?"

"Then I have to ask Qi Songyan, a newly promoted sports committee member."

Li Mingxuan's face was even worse than before. "When the class was split, I was worried about whether I could be assigned with you. I never thought that the sports meeting was the biggest hurdle. There are 7 boys in your class and 6 in our class. It’s good to report all the projects.”

Tong Chenxing took a big gulp of Coke with his neck up, his facial features twisted into flowers: "Hiss—ha——, don't cry poorly, Qin Di will win the first place in the high jump and long jump, and Qi Songyan will be the top three in the 1500 meters, plus you , and then randomly pull Shi Yuzheng, the 4×400 relay is not hopeless."

Qin Di hurriedly held him down, "My sleepy brother Zheng hasn't woken up all afternoon, I'm afraid he'll start snoring in the middle of his run."

"Pfft, then you can't count on Tang Cheng to come on, don't be bullied to death!"

"Little Tang Cheng, I have my own magical skills. Xu Chang's shot put can still score two points."

Li Mingxuan widened his eyes and asked: "Have you made your calculations clear? Qi Songyan is still out of the situation, or you can talk to him, he hasn't even recognized anyone yet."

"I don't want to offend him, I've already talked to Xu Chang, let them discuss it further, and we can help with other things."

"Can you two consider my feelings? Except for my 1500-meter score, this time I have to live under the power of Qi Songyan. The other big brothers in our class are all wiped out. My life as a sports committee is about to fall. coming!"

"Dachen, do you think there will be a class meeting in our class. Liu Xiaotong and Wang Churan just told me that they plan to write the script all night tonight and let me change it tomorrow. You think Liu Xiaotong, mathematicians all over the world She loves her, and she even plans not to do her math homework, what kind of spirit is this?"

"It's the fighting spirit inherited from the Chinese experimental class!" Tong Chenxing held up the half-drunk Coke bottle.

Li Mingxuan frantically raised the yogurt bottle and pasted it, "Yes, what is it, please make one up for me."

"It doesn't matter what it is, just do it!" Qin Di knocked the soup bowl on their bottles.The young man's enthusiasm was scalded by the fragrant food, and even the little yellow croaker's eyes lit up.

When Qi Songyan came home from school, the house was empty as he expected.At first, when parents got busy, they would send him a message in advance, telling him a few words with sincerity, maybe they were relieved of his calm and sensible later, and they didn't even send messages after ten days and a half months.Fortunately, Aunt Shen at home is kind and responsible. She comes to clean every day, prepares the food and warms it up before leaving.

Qi Songyan packed the food and put it back in the refrigerator, took out Aunt Shen's sliced ​​fruit and ate a few mouthfuls by the light of the refrigerator, closed the door, and the house was dark again.He sat on the sofa for a while, then stood up as if remembering something, and took out a handkerchief from his trousers pocket.

In fact, it is a new thing. These days, even paper towels have developed to be printed with various patterns and carry different fragrances, and there are still people using handkerchiefs.He held the soft side and turned into the bathroom. Under the warm lighting, he couldn't even tell whether the color of the fabric itself was such light yellow, or whether it was the color given to it by time.Four thin strips of khaki stripes soften the look, almost like a child's bib.

Thinking of Qin Di's words, Qi Songyan put a handkerchief under his nose and sniffed lightly, and faintly smelled a faint fragrance besides the smell of coffee, Qin Di's face suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, smiling slyly and brightly.He couldn't help it, buried his mouth and nose in the handkerchief and took a deep breath.The boredom when I walked into the house just now disappeared with the breath I took.

Not daring to soak it, and not daring to rub it hard, Qi Songyan poured some laundry detergent along the edges to find and clean the coffee stains one by one. After washing, he put it in the dryer to dry slightly hot and smooth, and folded it in two meticulously against the edge. Fold it, hold it in your hand to make sure it is clean and fragrant, and then hold it to do your homework contentedly.

Qin Di's notes are incredibly detailed. Qi Songyan's impression is that the teacher just mentioned a lot of content, such as understanding and examples of knowledge points, but Qin Di has marked them all in the most general language. Had a silent class with no hindrances at all.

Qi Songyan also never imagined that one day he would experience what it feels like to swim in the ocean of knowledge, until he was lying on the bed with a handkerchief in his hand, Qin Di’s colorful notes were still in front of him, the Pearl River Delta was the mouth of an elephant, and the three major schools in Northeast China The plains are all "green and yellow" food, and the four "pits" in the west have air to be distributed to the Yangtze River Delta...Qi Songyan muttered something, his eyelids began to fight, and finally regained his energy a second before falling asleep. Put the handkerchief beside the pillow, and spread it out a few more times before falling asleep peacefully.

But Qin Di couldn't sleep.

The handkerchief was lent to Qi Songyan, but his hand was empty, and after pinching the corner of the quilt for a while, it didn't feel like a handkerchief at all, so he sighed softly.

If the day he owned the handkerchief was a small birthday, then the handkerchief was already a seven-year-old boy.

When he was ten years old, his idle father stole the family's only savings and ran away. My mother called all relatives, but didn't hear a word of reassurance. She immediately packed her luggage and planned to return to her mother's house alone, leaving him behind.He dragged the fuchsia travel bag desperately in the corridor, and the bottom of his socks was dragged out of dirty holes. His heart-piercing cries only attracted a few sporadic neighbors.The others have long been accustomed to their house's flickering every now and then, so they don't even bother to take a look.

The aunt at the door is a newly married bride, and Qin Di went to visit on the day the firecrackers were set off.Standing in front of the old building, she pursed her lips and smiled shyly, but she could see that she was really happy.When she heard Qin Di crying, she ran out, hugged Qin Di who was almost dragged down, and hurriedly called to her mother: "Sister, let's talk about it later, look at the child, how good my brother is, What will he do when you leave?"

Qin Di can't remember what his mother said, it's probably from his old Qin family, no one cares, why leave it to her for a lifetime.Maybe it was Qin Di who hugged her leg tightly, or maybe it was the little aunt who was persuading and emotional, but in the end, the mother didn't leave.My aunt's man called her to go back, but she only had time to wipe Qin Di's tears, then put the handkerchief in his hand and went back to the house.

On that day, Xiao Qindi lost his father.He was afraid that his mother would not be happy if he cried too loudly, so he covered his mouth with a handkerchief to stop the choking.Sure enough, my mother never left.He just pinched the handkerchief and grew up all of a sudden.

This night, calm and windless, the two lonely teenagers were thinking about the same handkerchief.
