Probably woken up by thirst.

The first reaction when I woke up was an unbearable dryness in my throat.

This feeling is not good, especially when I open my eyes, the bedroom is still dark.

Xi Ning reached out to touch the phone next to her pillow, and the fingerprint-sensing side button made a slight mechanical sound, and at the same time the screen suddenly lit up, which was extremely glaring in the thick darkness, making people squint their eyes reflexively.

Time: 00:30

Very well, for her who is used to going to bed at ten and getting up on time at six even on weekends, waking up at this time is simply "deviant".

Lying on the soft bed and struggling for two seconds, Xi Ning turned on the small lamp by the bed with a little resentment, threw off the quilt, and opened the door of the room with her slippers on.

Half-closed her eyes, maintaining the sense of chaos of being half-asleep and half-awake, she walked forward in a daze, but after passing through the corridor, the lights in the living room instantly made most of her drowsiness go away.

When I saw the busy figure at the side of the cooking table, I was completely awake.

Something was baking in the oven, some lumps of dough on the countertop, some molds, and a plate of weirdly shaped... biscuits that looked burnt?

"What are you doing?"

Xi Ning crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows in disbelief.

Could it be a dream?A slacker like Xi Mu who has to save up his own socks for four days before washing them is actually making biscuits in the kitchen in the middle of the night?

As a sister and brother, she doesn't remember that he likes to eat sweets, or how much he gets up in the middle of the night to do it himself.

There was a crisp "Ding Dong", the back was startled, the mold in his hand fell on the plate, he turned around suddenly, and after seeing Xi Ning's face clearly, he was obviously relieved.

"Sister, you haven't slept in the middle of the night? You scared me to death!"

He lowered his voice, and tiptoedly pointed his head towards his parents' room. Seeing that there was no movement, he was relieved, "Keep down, I just waited until midnight to act in order not to disturb their elders."

Xi Ning looked up at the pretty face of her own brother, went to the cabinet and took out a mug, and filled a glass of water by the water dispenser.

"So what are you doing? Come to make snacks in the middle of the night?"

Holding the glass of water in both hands, she took two sips before she cleared her throat.

Xi Muchu was behind the dining table, suddenly his eyes rolled, he hurriedly picked up a piece of baked cookie from the plate, and approached her with a smile: "You came just in time, give me a taste of this, girl Will you like it?"

girl?

With a vague guess, Xi Ning glanced at the round "unrecognizable object" whether it was burnt or originally black, and looked away in disgust: "You have to make sure it is edible first."

"Ah? Looks like it still failed." Xi Mu put down his hand in disappointment, paused for a while, then put the biscuit into his mouth and took two bites.Somehow he thought of something, he pursed his lips, and suddenly raised his lips into a shy smile, even a blush visible to the naked eye appeared on his face.

In the middle of the night, people get goose bumps watching it.

Putting down the mug in her hand, Xi Ning couldn't help but carefully looked at him from head to toe.

Xi Mu, the twin brother who was born only a few minutes later than her, a sophomore in high school, with a height of 188, inherited the family inheritance of tall and cold white skin, narrow waist and long legs, tall and tall, red lips and white teeth, and a pair of smiling Very provocative peach blossom eyes, from childhood to adult love letters received soft hands.

It was the first time I saw him go through so much trouble, getting up in the middle of the night just to make cookies for a certain girl.

but……

Xi Ning drank the last sip of water, put down the glass, got up and went back to her room to sleep.

She is not interested in Xi Mu's love life at all.

But Xi Mu stopped her: "Hey! Sister, don't you wonder who these cookies are made for?"

It doesn't matter who you do it for, it's not her who was poisoned anyway.

But seeing his attitude of not giving up, Xi Ning had no choice but to sit back on the chair lazily, and said perfunctorily, "Oh, who?"

Xi Mu scratched the fluffy hair of the quasi-scumbag, and said embarrassedly: "Actually, there is nothing I can't say, she is in the same class as you, and I still want you to help me."

It turns out that the small abacus is here.

Xi Ning raised her chin, and the cuffs of her loose pajamas slid down, revealing her white and slender wrists. She half-closed her eyes and said casually, "Do you still need help?"

Although Xi Mu's grades are not very good, he doesn't have much talent, and sometimes his stupid brain is not very good, but he actually has a pretty face, which is still very dominant in the hormonal restless puberty. Theoretically speaking, chasing people is a matter of getting twice the result with half the effort.

But looking at him now, the other party is obviously difficult to deal with, so there may be two possibilities: one, the other party is much better than him; .

Xi Mu's blushing became more obvious: "She...she is very good, according to Chen Gou's words, she is the most beautiful girl in your class."

Finally, Xi Ning couldn't help but rolled her eyes.

"Kong Nianxi... do you know her well?" Xi Mu pulled the hem of his clothes and looked like a little daughter-in-law, as if the name was so holy that it would take a lot of effort just to say it.

When Xi Ning heard these three words, she frowned uncomfortably.

How could it be familiar?Not only is she unfamiliar, she is also the only classmate she has never communicated with.

It's not that she is hostile or prejudiced against Kong Nianxi, it's probably because of her aura. Xi Ning always feels that she and she are not from the same world, which is actually true.

Kong Nianxi...

She is too famous, even if Xi Ning doesn't like to pay attention to these embellished gossips, she will always hear something from Tu Xiaoyuan's mouth.

such as--

It is rumored that she changes partners once a week, falling in love is like changing clothes;

I heard that some bad guys from other schools approached her, and I waited at the school gate infatuatedly for a week, but there was no response;

Someone said that two boys got their stomachs perforated because of her drinking outside the school;

……

And so on.

She may be the kind of girl who is very popular and dangerously beautiful in the eyes of boys, or she may be a green tea courtesan who has chaotic circles, complicated relationships and is good at seducing people in the eyes of some people.

However, the rumors are true and false, and the rumors are more or less exaggerated.

Xi Ning has almost never had direct contact with Kong Nianxi, and she doesn't like to label others through rumors, so her impression of her does not involve praise or criticism, at most, she is just a well-known ordinary classmate.

But it was another thing that really made Xi Ning deeply impressed by this popular classmate and unilaterally decided that she was not of the same kind.

It was probably one Friday afternoon not long after school started, in an alley outside the school, she happened to pass by after school.

In a dark and narrow alley with a smoky smell, two groups of tall and burly boys are aggressive, and the atmosphere is about to start a gang fight in the next second. Among the group of tattooed earring men with cigarettes in their mouths, Kong Nianxi is all over the place. The clean and tidy uniform skirt stood out of place in the middle.

"Let's get started." She looked down at her phone and spoke casually, her voice soft.

Two boys who were a head taller than her and with strong shoulders took a step forward with disgust on their faces, threw away the cigarette and bricks in their hands suddenly, and hugged each other fiercely with a "snap".

"Next time you make trouble, just face to face and stare at each other for 10 minutes~"

Kong Nianxi's smiling voice echoed in the alley.

Xi Ning, who had no intention of witnessing the whole process, had a new understanding of this classmate, and then put him on the "blacklist" to keep him away.

But even though there is little communication in a class, Xi Ning can't ignore this name, because it is posted on the ranking list of various subjects on the back wall every month or even every week, and she can always see the three words Kong Nianxi next to her. .

Surrounded by crowds, busy with socializing, someone who never seems to care about her studies, but her grades in all subjects are not bad, really not bad, even excellent-in fact, just looking at the grades, she is at the top of the grade Ten top academics.

Maybe the other party never pays attention to these things, but Xi Ning can't help but care about them occasionally when she sees her grades in a single subject being overwhelmed.

"Sister, my dear sister~ You and her are in the same class, no matter how unfamiliar you are, you can always talk to her, right?"

Xi Ning raised her head, looked at Xi Mu who was thinking about it, and smiled: "I'm sorry, I disappointed you, I'm really unfamiliar with the kind who can't even speak.

"Go back to bed, good night."

She left a word, ignored Xi Mu's chatter, and went straight back to the room.

.

The next day is Sunday.

As a semi-closed school, Qingye Private School has mandatory accommodation requirements on the surface. After the weekend is over, students need to return to school and dormitory on Sunday evening.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Ms. Xu couldn't wait to drive them back to school in person. Before going out, she had exquisite makeup and her favorite dress. You don't have to guess and you know that there will be a sweet date with Mr. Xi tonight.

"The living expenses for this month have already been transferred to you, please refrain from spending. I won't overdraw anyone before the end of the month." Ms. Xu said while driving.

"Understood~" Xi Mu in the back seat lazily replied, rubbing the NS in his hand, staring at the game character intently, "Sister, it's been a few years, and your four beasts haven't been liberated yet?"

"..."

Sitting in the co-pilot's seat, Xi Ning looked away from the lively street scene outside the window, turned her head and glanced at him expressionlessly: "If you don't want to play, return it to me."

Xi Mu was sure that she wouldn't go back, so he said with a playful smile, "Anyway, yours will be ashes, and the screen of my phone was smashed by Chen Gou, so let me take it to school for two days."

This kid, relying on being the younger brother who was born a few minutes later, hasn't he taken away from her with confidence since he was a child?

Xi Ning didn't bother to talk to him, she turned back and continued to look out the window.

"By the way, Xi Mu, you had an overdraft of [-] last month, and you will deduct it directly this month." Ms. Xu added suddenly.

Immediately there was a wail from the backseat——

"Ah? No, Mom..."

"I said I don't like that title, it looks old."

"Okay... Ms. Xu."

"Do you have anything to say?"

"No... no more."

Xi Ning laughed unkindly.

After putting them down by the roadside at the school gate, Ms. Xu kicked the gas pedal and left gracefully.

As soon as I got off the car, the aroma of all kinds of tempting food came to my nostrils.

There are large and small snack trucks parked along the wide street, and there are people coming and going on the road, basically all of them are students.

This place is located in a remote suburb of the city. It was originally a field before it was developed. Of course, it is still the same now. It’s just that a large field has been re-planned and built into a school. After the new campuses of the No. [-] High School and the No. [-] High School moved in, this area gradually became lively. stand up.

Later, Qingye High School, nicknamed "Noble Private", also set up a school here, and the economic value of this street is even higher.

The three schools are almost next to each other. It seems that in order to confirm the title of "Noble School", the front gate of Qingye High School is so big that it can be described as exaggerated. In comparison, the other two schools seem a bit shabby.

It's still early now, but it's the peak time for students from various schools to return to school, and the entire street has been blocked by vehicles.

Xi Ning took the suitcase and walked towards the school gate.

The closer she got to the school gate, the more people there were. Feeling the gazes projected from time to time, she clenched her hand holding the luggage pole a little bit, and unnaturally quickened her pace.

Every time she walked with Xi Mu, she always received double attention. She didn't like this feeling, but that guy seemed to enjoy it.

Speaking of which, although they are twins brought up by their parents, their personalities are very different.

"Oh... sister, your face is so conspicuous. Every time I walk with you, I will be forced to accept the eyesight harassment of those boys."

This guy actually complained first?

Xi Ning stopped, turned around and snorted coldly: "Didn't you always like to be noticed by others?"

"Who wants a boy's attention..."

Xi Mu complained, and wanted to say something, but his expression changed in the next second, he suddenly grabbed the corner of her clothes, and looked nervous.

Xi Ning frowned, and slapped his hand away in disgust: "Why?"

"Kong...Kong..."

Seeing that he was so nervous that he couldn't finish his words, Xi Ning looked sideways along the line of sight, and almost didn't need to look for it deliberately, and her eyes could be locked on precisely - the tall figure in the crowd was too conspicuous.

Although she has never socialized, as a classmate, she keeps her head down all day long and sees her face without looking up. It is difficult for her to remember such a face that can be seen at a glance even in the blurry class photos.

Kong Nianxi was right.
