She messed with me first

When Meng Qing gave way, Qi Xi, out of basic social etiquette, changed his clothes and tidied himself up briefly.

She thought that this process would take only 10 minutes, but she didn't want to. Not long after the computer was installed, there were two gentle knocking sounds on the door panel, followed by Meng Qingrang's familiar voice, "Qi Xi, it's me." Her voice is very suitable for the dark night, especially the cold winter night, it sounds more gentle than the Yingying spring day.

"Wait a minute." Qi Xi put down her computer bag and hurried over to open the door.

The dim light in the corridor quickly came in through the crack of the door.

Meng Qingrang stood under the lamp, his expression really not very good-looking.

Qi Xi was inexplicably guilty, avoided Meng Qingrang's gaze, and pretended to be calm and said: "Wait for me, I'll go get something."

"Don't worry." Meng Qingrang walked to the door, took out the hand that had been kept warm in his pocket all the time, and put it on his neck, warming it, making sure that it was hot enough before stretching it out under Qi Xi's slightly curious gaze, He stroked her side face—it was as cold as ice.

Meng Qing turned his ugly expression into an ugly one, his brows and eyes were covered with frost, and his pupils were dark and deep.

When she looked at Qi Xi silently with this expression, there was a reaction in her mind - Zhou Qi really wasn't alarmist, and Meng Qingrang's cold face was really scary.

But didn't you already laugh on the phone?

Qi Xi was unsure for a moment, silently analyzing various possibilities in her heart, but Tang Yuan was used to 'no competition with the world', so she couldn't see her current difficulty, so she insisted on wagging her tail and pushing forward.

After finally squeezing over, the lower paw stepped on Meng Qingrang's foot.

Qi Xiyu's beating heart was suddenly mentioned for a long time, and he quickly bent over and carried the Tangyuan collar back to it, and seriously taught, "How can you bully people with such a big dog?"

If the glutinous rice balls at this time could speak, they would probably send her a sentence, "Who are you scolding?"

Meng Qing asked her to be connoted for no reason, and used her toes to block the door that was closing automatically after Qi Xi let go, and asked her a little helplessly, "Qi Xi, can't you let me finish this breath?"

Qi Xi didn't raise his head, "You're born, didn't you see that I was too scared to speak out just now?"

"You..." Meng Qingrang couldn't laugh or cry when Qi Xi asked her back, how fierce is she, she can scare people into daring without saying a word?Qi Xi's hat is too high.

After a moment of silence, Meng Qingrang calmed down, "If you ignore me, who should I show my anger to?"

Seems to be.

Qi Xi ruthlessly carried the glutinous rice balls behind her back, straightened her body, looked at Meng Qingrang and said, "I'll take care of you now."

"..." Meng Qingrang was never so speechless in his life.

When the silence began to spread, the voice-activated lights in the corridor quietly went out.

The cold air took the opportunity to wreak havoc.

Qi Xi couldn't help shivering.

The excitement was over, Meng Qingrang took a step forward to block the cold wind coming from the corridor, and said, "Do you want me to hug you?"

"Huh?" Qi Xi couldn't turn the corner, "Why are you hugging me?"

Meng Qingrang unexpectedly didn't return, walked in front of Qi Xi silently, tested the humidity of her hair with his fingers, and fell down with his fingers, sticking to the back of her neck, towards himself.

Unprepared, Qi Xi let out a low exclamation, her body moved forward inertially, and fell against Meng Qingrang, who was tightly wrapped by her loose and soft down jacket.

The contrast between the sudden warmth and the already cooling body was so strong that Qi Xi trembled involuntarily.

Meng Qingrang felt it, pulled away the hand she was still holding on the doorknob, put it on his waist, clasped the back of her head with the palm of his hand, and pressed her side face close to his ear into the shoulder socket. He said: "First make do with this to warm up, and then go downstairs when the hot spot is hot. It's windy down here."

It turned out that it was because of this that I wanted to hug, and I was quite thoughtful.

Qi Xi seemed to have honey in his mouth, and he couldn't control the corners of his mouth rising.

Then I realized that my hair was still wet, and it must be cold when it stuck to Meng Qingrang's shoulder and neck, so I pushed her and said, "My hair is too wet."

Before the body left, Meng Qingrang pressed it back again, and said in disapproval: "I almost forgot my hair." Then he pulled up the wide hat on Qi Xi's coat and covered his head, wrapping it tightly.

In this way, Qi Xi's breathing space is only left at the point of Meng Qingrang's shoulder, and she can smell the hot fragrance on her body even if she doesn't pay attention.

That taste will make people drunk without alcohol.

In order to stay awake, Qi Xi changed the subject abruptly and asked Meng Qingrang, "Didn't you say it would take 10 minutes, why did it come so quickly?"

Meng Qing let out a smile, "It seems that I'm really stupid. It's been more than 10 minutes since I arrived at the gate of your community."

Qi Xi was surprised that it took so long for her simple cleaning?

Maybe not just a simple tidying up.

Just now, someone used the mobile phone as a flashlight, wiped his face and body carefully, and even applied a new color-changing lip balm...

----

Compared with the snowy night outside, the warmth and brightness of Meng Qing's home is like another world - quiet, comfortable, and lingering with light fragrance.

As soon as Tangyuan entered the door, she squeezed between the two of them and plunged into her own luxurious nest.

Qi Xi followed behind Meng Qingrang, walking in unhurriedly, wrapped in the down jacket she wore when she came.

On the way, Qi Xi had nothing to say, and asked Meng Qingrang why he suddenly lost his style and changed to a down jacket.

Meng Qingrang tilted his head to look at her, and his smile was enveloped by the lustrous snow, "I was afraid that you would be cold, so I brought them specially for you. I put them on the seat and thought about it. The clothes themselves have no temperature. Even if you wear them, you still need to wear them yourself." To warm up, I just wore it all the way. I rarely wear down jackets myself, unless it is an unavoidable outdoor activity.”

When Meng Qing said this, she couldn't hear the tone of asking for credit, but Qi Xi felt that the warmth in her blood accelerated her walking speed, but it ran all over her body in a short while, silently roasting her and being eroded by the cold. past body.

Entering the house now, there was more floor heating, and Qi Xi suddenly felt unbearably hot, so he unzipped the zipper silently, and complained silently in his heart: Why is the floor heating so hot?Don't mind wasting resources.

Qi Xi took off her coat and put it away, and when she turned to look for Meng Qingrang, she had already disappeared, as if she had gone to the bedroom.

When I came back again, I had an extra hair dryer in my hand, and said while walking, "Dry your hair first."

Qi Xi raised his hand to touch his half-dry hair, wanting to refuse, but turned around and saw that Meng Qingrang had already plugged in the electricity, so he walked over and said, "You are busy with your work, don't worry about me, I may not be able to do it until three or four o'clock." sleep."

Meng Qingrang frowned, "Aren't you going to work tomorrow?"

Qi Xi, "Go."

"Then how can your body handle it?"

"No way, it happened suddenly."

Qi Xi succinctly told Meng Qingrang what happened today, and the original reason for this incident was that Yu Haiming blatantly robbed the client.

After Meng Qingrang listened, his expression became very calm, "Qi Xi, I know this is your private matter. As an outsider, I shouldn't ask you repeatedly, but as a friend, I still want to remind you-you are just an ordinary person. People, those things that challenge the bottom line happen again and again, you can't always be indifferent. Even if you want to be a soft persimmon, you have to find a way to bounce after being pinched, instead of just keeping silent, and finally you have to be a whole body Stand up righteously and clean up the mess for others."

After Meng Qingrang finished speaking, the already quiet living room suddenly became abnormally silent.

She knew that her words might hurt Qi Xi, especially the last sentence, but she didn't intend to apologize.

It is a very abnormal state for people to lose their temper, and she does not want Qi Xi to be in this abnormal state to embarrass herself all the time.

Qi Xi wasn't angry either, she just...

"Meng Qingrang, I used to be quite rowdy." Qi Xi suddenly said in the silence, her eyes sparkling with a smile, "When I didn't go to school, I was like a follower, following my parents' ass to school every day , bullying the students in their class; at the age of school, their students are finally relieved, but their own life still does not stop. I am either making trouble in class, or doing assembly line homework to make money after class. After leaving the den, he wanted to turn me back home with evidence, heh, it’s really the kind of personality that doesn’t go to Fang Jiewa for three days, and later, later..."

Qi Xi's voice quickly sank as the light disappeared from his eyes.

"You let me think about how I should tell you." Qi Xi whispered in a very formal tone, which gave Meng Qing the illusion that what Qi Xi said next must be very important.

Meng Qingrang's voice softened unconsciously, "Okay."

a long time.

Qi Xi finally spoke out again, with a low and restrained voice, "You have seen my mother's situation before, and it didn't take a day or two for her to become like this. The first time I fainted was during the summer vacation when my college entrance examination ended. The day I got my college entrance examination results , I am the sixth in science in the city, and the first in my dad's class, and I did okay in the exam."

Meng Qingrang was surprised, so how could Qi Xi go through these days worth celebrating?

"Qi Xi..."

"Huh?" Qi Xi turned and leaned against the sofa with an overly calm expression, "My parents are both teachers, and they have a breeze in their sleeves. In the past 30 years, the combined salary of the two of them for a whole year is less than [-]. Excluding daily expenses, Most of their income went to my education, oh, and painting."

Qi Xi smiled and looked down, "My mother is actually an art teacher, but she felt that her abilities were limited, so she was only willing to teach me until I was 6 years old, and then an old professor from the Academy of Fine Arts taught me. A class is 50 , Learning for one hour, I take four classes a week, and it costs about 1 yuan a year. Later, the price of goods rose, and the fee for a class gradually increased from 50 to 300."

Meng Qing let the hand holding the hair dryer tighten.

This money is more than half of their family's annual income, and the rest is needed for daily expenses and for Qi Xi to go to school. One can imagine how tense life is.

"The neighbors think that my parents spend so much money to train me to paint, because they want me to develop in this direction in the future. Maybe someday the sky will fall, and I will be sure, and the whole family will follow suit."

"Actually, they don't know, I'm just being angry."

"In the first week of kindergarten, a child in the class said that my drawings were ugly, so it must not have been born by my mother."

"I was too young at that time, and I had a lawless temperament. How could I bear this kind of grievance? painting."

"My mother laughed while watching me cry. She laughed enough and said, 'Okay, now I will learn from my mother. When you grow up, my mother will find you the best teacher'."

"I know that the professors in the Academy of Fine Arts are very good, but no one told me that an hour of class is so expensive."

"From the age of 6 to 15, our family hardly saved any money. It was only three years of high school. The homework was too heavy, so I didn't need to continue to learn painting. As for me, because of my good grades, the school didn't charge tuition fees, but instead gave Scholarship, they have a chance to save some money, otherwise my mother will not even be able to get the money for the surgery when she gets sick for the first time."

"That operation cost all their savings, but the result was not satisfactory."

"After my mother was discharged from the hospital, she couldn't speak or move, and she hung herself on a few mouthfuls of porridge throughout the year."

"But fortunately, people are still there."

"My dad and I knew that her disease was easy to relapse, so we were well prepared psychologically, but we never expected that my mother would be hospitalized again within a year."

"This time, I really have no money. Even my college registration fee was paid out of my uncle's wife book saved for my brother."

"then what should we do?"

"I study design, and I can help people draw pictures in private."

"But who's going to find a freshman?"

"Even if someone is looking for it, it's just a few hundred hundreds of money. The hospital will not wait for me, let alone the best time for treatment."

"Did Youshang help you?" Meng Qingrang asked her, it was too easy to guess, Qi Xi had to pay back the life-saving money no matter what, so no matter what Youshang did to her, she couldn't resist.

Qi Xi nodded, "Yes, the old leader paid for me, and he didn't dislike me as an inexperienced student. He personally led me to do many projects. In return, I will work in Youshang after graduation. You cannot leave your job before the age of 30."

It turned out to be the case.

Under such circumstances, no conscientious person would be ungrateful, but Qi Xi is still a character who is willing to do anything to himself for the sake of the people around him.

This was the first time Meng Qing let her know that she would not hesitate to offend Du Ming for Li Meng, otherwise, she would not have asked her "Do you need help?"

However, people with this personality often live very tired.

"I'm not a clear-minded, spotless person. When I look at things, I habitually look at the bad side first. Qi Xi, he may just value your ability when he helps you, and it's not completely selfish." Meng Qingrang said.

"I know, but he helped me when I needed it most." Qi Xi said briskly, before the words fell, his voice sank again, "Meng Qingrang, do you remember that I asked you if you had any questions?" Haven't you made any mistakes to make your parents angry?"

Meng Qing tightened his brows, looked at Qi Xi who was emotionally ups and downs, and said, "Remember."

"Yeah." Qi Xi smiled, the redness in his eyes couldn't be hidden, "You just tore up the notice, and I sent my mother to the hospital on the happiest day of my life, and never got better. "

After Qi Xi finished speaking, Meng Qingrang felt pain in her heart as if she had been hit by a heavy hammer. She regretted letting Qi Xi recall these unpleasant things again, but she was selfish. She knew the result of the second half, so she still I want to know the reason of the first half - what happened between Qi Xi and her mother that made such a good person so popular?

She didn't dare to ask, fearing that her guilt would be too insolent and would swallow Qi Xi.

Qi Xi was still talking to himself, "I owe my parents, I have to pay them back, so no matter who helped me at that time, no matter what request he made, I would agree without hesitation. I didn't You have to choose, it will be the same now and in the future.”

Meng Qingrang understands that if the root cause really lies with Qi Xi, then everything she does is reasonable.

But she still didn't want Qi Xi to continue thinking about these things, so she deliberately teased Qi Xi's chin like teasing glutinous rice balls, and said, "Now that I'm here, you can choose whatever you want."

Qi Xi's erratic eyes froze.

After a long while, I looked up at Meng Qingrang, smiling brighter than the stars in the clear sky, "This is the last thing you should say."

The author has something to say: After unremitting efforts, the author officially announces: the manuscript is gone...

thanks and bow
