After school on Friday afternoon, the school gate is full of students. Some go home on weekends, and some stay in school to relax. There are many snack trucks parked beside the road outside the gate. The business is booming, and the aroma of various foods is filled along the road.

Because they had made an appointment to spend this week in Su Yuqi's small apartment, after leaving the school gate, the three of them walked towards their destination not far from the school.

Along the side of the road, when approaching the gate of the school next door, Tu Xiaoyuan stopped in front of a stall selling fried tofu, unable to walk: "It smells so good, do you want to have this again?"

Su Yuqi stared at the phone while walking, and stopped: "What time is it? Didn't you say that you want to order barbecue and watch ghost movies tonight?"

"It's because it's still early so you need to fill your belly first~ You don't want me to order it yourself?"

Seeing that they both shook their heads, Tu Xiaoyuan turned to the boss and asked for one: "Boss, give me one, slightly spicy!"

Hot oil was bubbling on the iron plate, exuding the smell of fried tofu. There were still two girls queuing up in front of the stall, and Xi Ning waited beside her with her bag on her back.

The three schools were next to each other on the same road, and there was a constant stream of students pouring out of the school gates, and the voices of people were noisy.The snack cart for fried tofu was parked on the sidewalk, and Xi Ning stood with her back to the tree by the side of the road, watching the bustling crowd without saying a word, when suddenly a familiar voice came from behind.

The curly hair is slightly arched, walking along the sidewalk with a shoulder bag, the mobile phone is close to the ear, and the voice is not low: "What? The grandson of the eleventh is robbing the field again? Fuck his grandpa!"

"Sister Xi is here too? I said where did she go in the afternoon... the video game city in Xiaopo Street, right? All right, I'll go now."

After Curly finished speaking, he pinched the phone, accelerated his feet, swung the schoolbag on his shoulder, and ran away.

Xi Ning looked away, and Tu Xiaoyuan approached with a paper bowl of fried tofu, holding disposable chopsticks: "Wow, this is really delicious! Try it!"

After shopping, she continued to walk forward, crossed the traffic lights, and when passing by the commercial street nicknamed "Little Broken Street" by the students, Xi Ning slowed down and finally stopped.

"It's still early, do you want to... go shopping inside?"

Xi Ning put her hands in the pockets of her jacket, pursed her lips slightly, and moved her eyes to the side, and glanced at the street where stalls had already started to open.

They used to go to the food stalls in Xiaopo Street, Tu Xiaoyuan stuffed tofu in his mouth, and asked a little strangely: "Huh? Ningning, are you hungry, but isn't it a little early for dinner?"

Xi Ning clenched her hands in her pockets, paused for two seconds and said, "It's not just food stalls, isn't it... there is also a home appliance game center?"

Tu Xiaoyuan hissed, and looked at Su Yuqi in surprise.Xi Ning actually offered to go to the video game city to play?It's... amazing.

"Okay, it's rare for you to be interested. Anyway, it's okay. As soon as you say that I want to play catch dolls too, gogogo!" Tu Xiaoyuan jumped over, and the three of them changed directions, heading towards the only video game store in Xiaopo Street.

The video game city is on the third floor, next to the movie theater. The area is not too big, and there are not many devices that can be played. It is also crowded with students on weekends and holidays, making it extremely noisy.

Tu Xiaoyuan and the others went to exchange the recharge card, while Xi Ning raised her head and looked around.

In front of the dancing machine next to the mini self-service ktv, a group of students gathered. Judging from the school uniforms, there were still two groups of people, one was from their school, and the other was from the eleventh middle school next door.

Standing on the same spot for a while, Xi Ning hesitated, then raised her legs and walked over.

The whole video game city echoes the ear-splitting music with a strong sense of rhythm in the dancing machine, the focus of the crowd, standing on the pedal of the dancing machine is a slender figure that moves with the rhythm of the drums. The girl is wearing a school uniform with a uniform jacket tied around her waist, outlining the The slender waist line, the enchanting posture, every movement is perfectly integrated with the rhythm of the music, the movements are crisp and powerful, bringing a touch of wild tension to the softness and sexiness, even every strand of hair that is flung up Dance.

It is Kong Nianxi.

Xi Ning stood in the crowd, slightly dazed, no other conversation could be heard except the music, and everyone's eyes were attracted by the eye-catching figure on the dancing machine.

After the song was over, Kong Nianxi jumped down neatly, went straight to a girl, took the water, unscrewed it, took a sip, and sat on a chair to rest.

When turning around, his gaze swept diagonally, just in time to meet Xi Ning's gaze on the opposite side.

"..."

Xi Ning blinked her eyes, her pupils flickering slightly.

Kong Nianxi froze for a moment, squeezed the ice water in his hand, stared at her, and looked away expressionlessly.

The curly hair jumped out from the corner, and pointed the middle finger at the short-haired boy in the school uniform next door, and said arrogantly: "Haha, you lost again, you couldn't do the shooting, and you also lost in the arcade. I'm willing to bet and admit defeat. Don't hurry up?"

"You, he—" A boy with dyed red hair next to him stood up angrily, but was pushed back by the cropped man.

The inch-cut man didn't see any signs of anger, instead he smiled and said, "It's true that we lost, so let's regard it as a team building between us. I'm willing to accept the bet. You guys, but not necessarily next week."

After finishing speaking, several eleventh middle school students pushed and shoved out of the video game city.

When they passed each other, Xi Ning noticed that the short-haired man looked back, and following his gaze, he saw Kong Nianxi who was sitting on a chair talking to the girl next to him.

"..."

It is inevitable that high school students are a little impatient and bloody. The three schools are crowded in a remote suburb, and there is only one commercial street for entertainment in the surrounding area. They meet a lot, and they don't like each other. It's not uncommon, and slowly, it has been upgraded to an entertainment venue that grabs weekends.

Of course, such a peaceful solution is not always used.

Among the surrounding schools, No. [-] High School is well-known in the city for its poor school spirit, and there have been reported dangerous incidents of stabbing students with sharp weapons in fights.

Xi Ning lowered her eyes, a sudden chill appeared in her heart, her brows were slightly frowned, she didn't know what she was thinking, the people around her dispersed, but she was still standing where she was.

"Student? Are you here to play too?"

With curly hair and sharp eyes, Xi Ning was frowning and thinking as soon as the crowd dispersed. The serious and serious demeanor of the other party was simply out of place here.

"Is it really me?" He approached and rubbed his eyes exaggeratedly to confirm again.

Xi Ning looked at him, and moved her lips a little speechlessly: "Do you need to check your ID card?"

The curly hair froze for a moment, he was used to being "ice" by Xi Ning, and suddenly he was told a cold joke, and he felt a little "flattered".

Xi Ning looked over him to the chair just now, and Kong Nianxi was no longer there.

"Ah, you are here to find sister Xi, right?" Curly patted his head, and said to himself: "Although I don't know what's wrong with you two, but if there is any conflict, you should take the initiative to explain it, so that you can reconcile. I feel sorry for you Xueshen, after all Xixi is such an arrogant person."

"..."

In fact, what Curly said casually, really told him.

Since Kong Nianxi moved the table without saying hello this morning, Xi Ning could feel the deliberate avoidance and indifference in the other party's eyes, as well as some emotions that she could not express herself.

No matter how Kong Nianxi was in the past, but now the other party is skipping classes more and more, the reason obviously has something to do with her.

Although it was not intentional, she is responsible for causing the current misunderstanding, which is also the reason why she feels guilty and uneasy.

In any case, it should be explained clearly in person.

She couldn't find a chance to be alone at school today, and Kong Nianxi deliberately avoided her. Now, maybe it's a more suitable time.

Looking through the lively crowd, Xi Ning landed on a few machines directly in front, and said casually, "I just happened to pass by."

Leaving behind a sentence, he bypassed Curly and walked away.

"...Did you pass by and come to the third floor?" Curly raised his eyebrows and scratched his head.

I didn't see Su Yuqi and the others at the place where the recharge card was exchanged, so I probably went to play without finding her.

Holding the card in her hand, Xi Ning walked towards the shooting machine.

The surrounding area was very noisy, filled with music from various entertainment equipment and loud human voices. Three of the five shooting machines side by side were occupied. Kong Nianxi stood in front of the machine on the farthest end, raising the ball with both hands, shooting the ball neatly and powerfully. The basketballs flew out one by one, but...the scorers were all zeros.

The closer she got to the shooting machine, the slower Xi Ning walked.

She is actually not very good at dealing with such things, especially after experiencing being betrayed and ridiculed behind the back of a trusted group, she even denied her ability to handle complex interpersonal relationships, saying that indifference is her nature, but Rather, it was just her instinct to avoid trouble and risk, as well as self-preservation.

While walking, he hesitated on how to speak. When the distance was only a few meters away, a girl ran over and jumped to Kong Nianxi's side, and the two chatted.

Xi Ning stopped, hesitated on the spot, turned around and walked to a machine next to her, raised her hand to swipe her card.

The shooting machine was turned on, and the basketball fell down with a "crash". Xi Ning slowly picked up one, raised her hand and shot casually, paying attention to not being here at all.

"My hands are itching to see it, I want to try it too!" The girl who came to Kong Nianxi was eager to try, she turned on the shooting machine next door, and after a few missed shots, she withered instantly. , his eyes were attracted by the accurate figure next to him.

Xi Ning stared at the blue frame, but her thoughts had drifted away. She absent-mindedly cast two shots, and suddenly a voice rang in her ear.

"That's amazing, Xi Ning, have you ever learned basketball?"

Xi Ning stopped, the girl was in the same class as her, knew her name but hadn't spoken to her.

Her thoughts were interrupted, she paused, and could only say, "I have learned a little bit."

Because Xi Mu likes basketball very much, but he is a type of food addict, so he pestered the old man Xi to find him a coach. It happened that a friend of Xi Mu was a basketball coach, and he taught them for a while. Xi Ning's basketball skills were also at that time. forced to learn.

"Really! No wonder it's so powerful."

The girl turned her head to look at Kong Nianxi who was still smashing the ball behind her, glanced at the scorer which was still at 0, and couldn't help pulling her: "Hey, Xixi don't shoot, just look at the demonstration moves here. "

Only then did Kong Nianxi stop, panting slightly, some crystal beads of sweat ooze from the white skin on the bridge of the nose, and his cheeks are rosy after exercise.

After listening to the girl's words, she glanced over.

"..."

The atmosphere was silent for two or three seconds.

Kong Nianxi hooked his lips, although he was smiling, his voice was not warm: "Then you stay here and watch."

After finishing speaking, he turned away with a cold face.

"Huh?" The girl didn't understand the situation.

Xi Ning looked at Kong Nianxi's back and stood there without saying a word.

"Tsk, I don't know what kind of temper this young lady has lost again. Let's go first, Xueshen, you continue to play~" The girl greeted her, and hurriedly ran away after Kong Nianxi's figure.

"..."

The person had already walked away, Xi Ning finished throwing the last ball in her hand, and turned to leave.

Before he took two steps, he received a call from Su Yuqi.

"I haven't found you for a long time. We are at the crane machine. Come here quickly."

After picking up the phone, Xi Ning thought about it, and went to meet them first.

Approaching the claw machine area, there are rows of machines filled with colorful and colorful dolls. From a long distance, you can hear Tu Xiaoyuan's screaming voice:

"I don't believe in evil, hey, if I don't catch this little fox today, I'll just sleep here and never leave!"

"Ah, it's only a little short!"

"Woooo..."

Xi Ning walked over and witnessed the whole process from the "crash" of the doll clip to Tu Xiaoyuan scratching her heart and lungs.

Su Yuqi got tired of scratching, and let go of the joystick: "This kind of machine is a bug, I won't play it anymore, you can catch it yourself."

Tu Xiaoyuan got on the bar and rolled up his sleeves: "Hmph, relying on others is worse than relying on yourself, I will never leave today if I can't catch it!"

"..."

Panicked by the trouble, Su Yuqi saw Xi Ning approaching, and quickly pulled her over: "You almost swiped all the coins in the card, and you didn't catch any of them. Your face is too dark. Try changing to Ning Cub."

Suddenly being pulled to the claw machine, Xi Ning looked at the dolls full of dolls inside: "...I have never played with this before."

"It all depends on the face, no technology is needed, just try it."

Xi Ning was forced to put the ducks on the shelves, so she bent down to observe the pile of dolls, picked one that looked easier to grab, and pressed the OK button.

"咚咚咚" the claw machine made some noises, but she didn't expect it to be caught by her.

"Ah! I caught it!" Tu Xiaoyuan jumped up excitedly, and was the first to pick up the doll from the exit and hold it in her arms.

Su Yuqi raised his eyebrows: "It's the first time I've seen someone grab a doll out of a claw machine."

"Ningning, I want this, this!"

Tu Xiaoyuan pointed to the fox she was thinking of, and Xi Ning pushed the joystick over. After several failed attempts, she finally caught the little fox out.

Xi Ning, a master doll catcher who was unexpectedly European and full of enthusiasm, turned out to be out of nowhere, and the two immediately became excited, and almost all the coins they rushed were used on the claw machine.

After grabbing a few more, Xi Ning opened her eyes. It was nearly seven o'clock, she pursed her lower lip, got up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."

Tu Xiaoyuan hugged a pile of fluffy contentedly, and said cheerfully, "Okay, come back soon~"

...like a landowner who exploits long-term labourers.

Walking along the long row of claw machines to the end, when turning around, he glanced at two claw machines scattered beside the wall pillars from the corner of his eye, and Xi Ning paused.

Kong Nianxi still wore a coat around his waist, his long, smooth hair was pinned behind his ears, his collar was open to reveal his delicate collarbone, and a white bluetooth headset was plugged into his right ear. He bent slightly and stared at the machine intently.

Xi Ning didn't hesitate this time, took a deep breath secretly, and walked over quickly.

"School God?"

"..."

When I got closer, I saw Curly standing in front of another machine on the side of Kong Nianxi. Before she could speak, Curly stopped her first and said hello.

Kong Nianxi paused his fingers, the time in the machine was up, the clip fell down automatically, and the clip was caught in the wrong position.She raised her hand and slapped the console, and a crisp C language came out of her mouth.

"..."

The atmosphere dropped to freezing point, and there was no way to continue the conversation. Xi Ning stood a step or two away from her, her lips tightly pressed together.

After a few seconds of silence, she bit the bullet and took the initiative to ease the deadlock: "Which one do you want...I can grab it for you."

Kong Nianxi glanced sideways in surprise, and after a while, his lips curled up slightly, a half-smile, but his tone was a little cold: "Oh, really? I'm going to be flattered again when you do this."

Curly stood next to the two of them, his eyes stared like light bulbs, his ears pricked up, and somehow felt that he had heard some exciting conversation.

Xi Ning didn't say a word, and directly raised her leg and stepped forward to stand in front of the crane machine. According to the position she aimed at just now, she guessed: "Is it this giraffe?"

After a long time, Kong Nianxi hummed in a low voice.

Half of the giraffe was under the pressure, so it was really not easy to pick it up, but maybe Xi Ning was really lucky today, and after practicing just now, he picked up some dolls around him one after another, and finally got the giraffe buried under it. Clipped out.

"Absolutely, pay attention, you are really a god!" Curly bent over to take the dolls one by one, and the little rabbit and puppy embraced them.

Xi Ning took out the last giraffe and handed it to Kong Nianxi.

For a long time, no one answered.

Seeing that Kong Nianxi was not moving, Curly Hair freed up a hand and stretched it out with a smile: "Sister Xi doesn't want me, hehe, this is the best one inside."

When his hand was about to touch it, Kong Nianxi reached out to catch it, hugged her in her arms, glanced at the curly hair, and said angrily: "Who said I don't want it anymore? I like it. If you don't want it, you can't give it to others."

Curly took a deep breath, savoring the meaning of her words, and the next second, he saw Kong Nianxi put the giraffe into his arms again.

"???"

Kong Nianxi turned her head: "I'm going to the bathroom, hold it for me, don't touch it."

Curly hair: "..."

Just as Kong Nianxi left, Xi Ning also followed.

Curly couldn't help asking: "Hey, Xueshen, where are you going?"

"Toilet."

Seeing the two leave one after the other, Curly pointed in the opposite direction wonderingly, "But...is the bathroom in this direction?"

When Xi Ning came here for the first time, she didn't know where the bathroom was at all. She followed Kong Nianxi all the way, until she came to a remote safe passage, and she didn't feel that something was wrong.

After pushing open the door of the safe passage, Xi Ning was stunned when she saw the empty staircase.

"What are you doing with me?"

Turning around to look, Kong Nianxi folded his arms, leaned back lazily against the wall, narrowed the corners of his eyes, and stared straight at her.

"I……"

Just as Xi Ning opened her mouth, Kong Nianxi stood up and walked towards her step by step.

The cold scent slowly approached, Xi Ning subconsciously stepped back, but the space in the stairwell was narrow, and within a few steps, she was cornered.

When her shoulders sank, Kong Nianxi raised her hand, her slender fingers pressed against her shoulder lightly, pressing her against the wall, evoking a sneer.

"Walking around me all the time? What do you want me to do?"

Just a few feet away, those cold and sharp eyes made Xi Ning panic, she paused, and said in a deep voice: "I just want to explain some misunderstandings—"

Kong Nianxi snorted and interrupted her: "I know what else to explain."

"Don't you just... want to help your boyfriend chase me?"

There was silence in the stairwell, so quiet that it seemed as if the breath would condense.

Kong Nianxi smiled self-deprecatingly, lowered his eyes halfway, and his voice trembled faintly.

"Blame me for being sentimental. I'm really sorry for bothering you. Just treat me as a joke."

The bondage on her shoulders disappeared, and the moment Kong Nianxi turned to leave, Xi Ning hurriedly said, "Don't think so."

She stood up straight, clutching her cuffs: "I have never had such a mocking thought."

Kong Nianxi stopped, paused for two seconds, and turned around.

Faced with this situation for the first time, Xi Ning didn't know how to speak at all, and she was used to using indifference to avoid trouble for a long time, which made her even more unsure how to deal with the current situation.

At the end, Xi Ning met Kong Nianxi's eyes and said, "You are fine."

"..."

After being stunned for a moment, Kong Nianxi laughed directly.

"Are you, are you sending me a good person card?"
