After getting on with the enemy

That was Zhou Xiyun's first time seeing Qiao Yan so sad, and he did it unintentionally. He didn't expect such a situation to end, and he was helpless.

Only Zhou Xiyun has always been like this. Once he feels uncomfortable or has been teased by someone, he will cry big and big, and he can't stop it. But Qiao Yan seldom cries. Children are stronger and more honest. Very good, able to resist beatings, even if Xu Ziqing beat him to jump and run all over the yard, he still held firm, but this time he collapsed, and he was so aggrieved.

Careful and vengeful, with a strong temper, he really broke up with Zhou Xiyun from that day on, and stopped setting foot in Zhou's house for several days, and ignored Zhou Xiyun.

Unilaterally sever contact with Zhou Xiyun, without any gratuitous resentment.

Knowing that he made a mistake first, Zhou Xiyun tried to make amends, and wanted to find an opportunity to explain to him, but Qiao Yan refused to accept it, and walked away when he saw her, even unwilling to meet her.

They didn't speak a single word until the beginning of the new semester of the third grade, and for the next two full months, there was almost no communication between the two sides.

Even if they bumped into each other occasionally, Qiao Yan would basically turn around and ignore Zhou Xiyun.

Zhou Xiyun went to Qiao's house several times to wait. On the surface, it was an excuse to find grandma or Xu Ziqing, or to bring something for the family, but he always turned around on the opposite side.

There were a few times when Qiao Yan didn't leave, but she didn't move her mouth, showing no intention of talking.

Not only that, if Qiao Yan found out what Zhou Xiyun was going to say, Qiao Yan would immediately get up and turn away, unwilling to listen, and twisted to death.

Grandma noticed the clues and sensed the abnormality of the two of them.

The old man didn't get involved too much, he knew that children in this period were all the same, and it seemed like the sky was falling if something big happened, and the more adults interfered, the more chaotic it would be, so it's better to let the two little girls solve it by themselves.

Every time Zhou Xiyun came to the door, grandma usually asked her to sit for a while, let her talk with her, and asked some unimportant things casually.

Zhou Xiyun chatted with the old man when he was free, sitting for a long time.

Qiao Yan also didn't go anywhere, and wandered around in a panic when he was idle, doing something to pass the time when he had nothing to do, holding a cup in both hands to drink water slowly, lying on the table looking at the sky outside the door, curling his hair with his fingers... …

In short, just don't participate in it, just like a blind man turning a blind eye to Zhou Xiyun, but he doesn't hide from it anymore.

Grandma would sometimes call Qiao Yan to her side and ask the little girl to pour two glasses of water, or ask her to beat her back.

If it was later in the day, grandma would still leave Zhou Xiyun here to eat, and would not let him go.

Qiao Yan wasn't angry about this, but she still didn't want to get close to Zhou Xiyun. Every time she sat down opposite Zhou Xiyun, she looked at Zhou Xiyun angrily.

Zhou Xiyun acted as if he couldn't feel her little thoughts, so he ate the rice in silence, chewing and eating slowly.

The grandma acted as a peacemaker in the middle, put a spare rib into Qiao Yan's bowl, then gave Zhou Xiyun a braised lion's head, and said kindly, "This is delicious, try it quickly, or you will lose everything."

Zhou Xiyun thanked him politely, and said softly, "You eat too."

While looking up, he also glanced at the opposite side from the corner of his eye, gauging someone's reaction.

Grandma smiled, and a few deep creases emerged from the corners of her eyes.

Qiao Yan pursed his mouth, poked the bottom of the bowl with his chopsticks, and ate the pork ribs whole, with the rice in his mouth, he said to his grandma, "Grandma, I want to eat lion's head too."

Grandma took a bite out of this stubborn temper and said, "Eat slowly, don't get choked up, don't panic..."

Qiao Yan stretched out the bowl to pick it up, and at the same time looked at Zhou Xiyun for half a second, then turned his head and looked back as if nothing had happened.

After eating Qiao's meal, Zhou Xiyun took the initiative to buy a large iced watermelon with his pocket money in return.

Grandma divided the big watermelon into three, and the adults on both sides ate it, and gave them the sweetest part in the middle, and let each of them eat half.

Qiao Yan reluctantly accepted it, for the sake of watermelon quenching his thirst.

Children like to eat watermelon, especially the iced one.

The small half of melon was so full that I had eaten enough before, but now I was struggling even to stand after eating it.

Regardless of his image, Qiao Yan fell down on the sofa, put his hands on his lower abdomen and touched it lightly, then tilted his head and looked at Zhou Xiyun with an uncomfortable expression.

It was agreed that they would never communicate with each other, but in the end, a piece of melon was useless... Qiao Yan pursed her lips, feeling a little embarrassed.

Zhou Xiyun went up to him, and took the opportunity to ask in a muffled voice, "You're not feeling well, where are you feeling?"

Qiao Yan replied stiffly, "I'm not uncomfortable."

Zhou Xiyun snorted, and tried to get closer and sit side by side. Seeing that Qiao Yan hadn't gotten up, she held up a bite of the other half of a melon she hadn't touched and asked, "Do you still want to eat?"

Qiao Yan lowered his head, buttoned the corner of his clothes with his fingers, and his eyelashes trembled twice.

"I can't eat anymore, I'm so full."

"You can leave it to eat tomorrow." Zhou Xiyun said, placing the watermelon on the coffee table.

Qiao Yan's expression was a little unnatural, "Eat it, it will definitely be soft tomorrow."

Zhou Xiyun still didn't eat and left it to her.

Maybe it was because of this watermelon, maybe it was because the two parties finally had a level to go down, and their relationship eased a little after that.

——But not completely reconciled, and almost.

Qiao Yan didn't ask Zhou Xiyun the specific reason, but he just thought it was Zhou Xiyun who was in a bad mood and lost his temper randomly. Since he was willing to bow his head, he wouldn't pursue it further.

The little girl is quite generous in this regard, she can afford it and let it go, and she is not annoying.

But it was precisely because of this that the misunderstanding between the two of them was caused. Many years later, when the two had conflicts again, the sequelae of these accumulated "old grievances" also appeared together.

The disadvantage of being young is that you take small problems too seriously, but you don't know how to communicate, and you lack communication and understanding.

By the end of the whole vacation, Zhou Xiyun spent nearly one-third of his time at Qiao's house.

A new round of school has officially started again, and the turbine of time continues to turn.

The only difference this year is the addition of Song Xinyu, other things seem to be not much different, similar to the previous two years.

It may be due to the quarrel, Qiao Yan's grades have risen a bit in the third grade, they are not that bad, and he can be ranked in the upper middle of the class.

It is no problem for the grades in the upper middle class to be promoted to junior high school smoothly. As long as you keep it steady, you can definitely enter No. [-] Middle School in City A.

If you can enter the No. [-] Middle School in City A in junior high school, it will be easier to get promoted later in the junior high school. Visually, it is generally safe.

Zhou Xiyun's hanging heart sank a little, and he stopped forcing Qiao Yan to study. He only watched more on weekdays, and tried his best to bring it before the exam, so as to try to get Qiao Yan to help him.

Qiao Yan stopped complaining that he was tired from studying hard, and kept burying his head in his studies and laying down the foundation with all his strength.

The little girl has self-knowledge, knows that she doesn't have the talent to be in the front row, and gradually resigns herself to her fate and doesn't struggle. She thinks about working hard to get into a university, and don't force herself to do anything else. If you can have it, let it go. If you don't, don't embarrass yourself. .

Zhou Xiyun often helps Qiao Yan with tutoring, repeating a question repeatedly, teaching Qiao Yan what is the core of solving the problem, and preventing rote memorization of fixed formats.

Qiao Yan brushed his hair with a brush, and habitually tapped his brain, and sighed sincerely: "Oh, Zhou Xiyun, you are so smart, so amazing..."

Zhou Xiyun blocked the tip of the pen, and said seriously: "If you type a few more times, your memory will be worse. Be careful and you won't be able to remember it later."

Qiao Yan quickly stopped her and stopped her self-abuse.

After finishing the questions, Zhou Xiyun took out two bags of things from under the table and stuffed them in to reward her.

Not knowing the foreign language on the packaging bag, Qiao Yan asked curiously, "What is this?"

"Chocolate, my mother brought it back from a business trip." Zhou Xiyun said, opened one of the bags, peeled off one and handed it to the other party. "It tastes okay, there are nuts in it."

Qiao Yan opened his mouth to continue, and immediately chewed.

"Um... delicious..."

Zhou Xiyun put all the chocolates in her arms, "It's all yours."

Qiao Yan put it away bluntly, puffed up one side of his face and said "thank you", then peeled another one and threw it into his mouth. He didn't remember anything until he ate half of it, and said instead: "Give it to me, have you eaten yet?" ?”

Zhou Xiyun replied: "I ate it, my mother brought a lot, and I ate it yesterday."

Qiao Yan nodded, then threw the things into his schoolbag, took them all, and planned to share some with his grandma and the others when they got home later.

In fact, Zhou Xiyun didn't eat anything, not even a single one.Zhou Huiwen's business trip to the UK was quite difficult, and he was in a hurry to go back and forth. He thought that he should bring something for his daughter when he went out, so he bought two bags of chocolates that looked okay at the airport.

At any rate, it was a special product bought from a long distance, and it is not common here. Zhou Xiyun didn't want to share it with others, not even Grandpa Zhou and the others, so they kept it for Qiao Yan.

Qiao Yan didn't know this, and he didn't know until the end.

Xiao Wuxin generously distributed two bags of chocolates that day, not only grandma and Xu Ziqing, but also Song Xinyu.

After everyone had eaten it, Qiao Yan gave her thoughtful feedback and said carelessly, "Sister Xin Yu also thinks it's delicious."

Zhou Xiyun's subordinates paused for a while, then responded softly: "Oh."

Song Xinyu has also been studying in their primary school this year, and they are in the same class as the two of them.

Qiao Yan and Song Xinyu are serious friends now, and they go to and from school together these days, and they are usually very good in class, and often hang out together, and their intimacy is almost as close as that of the two of them.

Zhou Xiyun couldn't stop Qiao Yan from making friends, and he shouldn't. He could only pretend not to care when he heard this, and said with an open-minded face: "Then ask my mother to buy more next time, and give her a bag too."

Qiao Yan was a pure idiot, he couldn't hear the twists and turns in his words, he put his chin on his arms and smiled, and said, "Okay, thank you."

"No need." Zhou Xiyun said, staring at the table with lowered eyes, and after a while, he continued to read quietly and do the questions.

I don't know since when, there was one more person in the two-partner's line, and some things became more and more strange.

It's not that Zhou Xiyun is stingy, it's just how he said it... I can't tell what is different, Zhou Xiyun feels that Qiao Yan seems to be different from when he was a child, and he is not as careful about maintaining this friendship as before.

Zhou Xiyun was a little concerned, but couldn't open his mouth.

Most of them will have similar distress during their growth period. At a certain stage, they will have a selfish possessive desire for their close friends, hoping that the other party will only be good to themselves, and do not like to have other peers join them.

Children in this age group are immature, and they often treat friendship as private property, and they will have some unreasonable emotions.

Knowing that it shouldn't be like this, Zhou Xiyun tried to adjust and accept Song Xinyu's existence as much as possible.

Qiao Yan was naturally happy to see the results of this situation. He always took care of both ends. In the past, he took care of Zhou Xiyun alone. Since then, all the friendships have been divided into two, and he treats Zhou Xiyun and Song Xinyu the same.

The good things in hand are divided into two shares, and the care is also divided into two shares. Taking care of Zhou Xiyun and Song Xinyu, no one will be left behind.

Zhou Xiyun saw it and didn't say anything from the beginning to the end.

But acceptance is one aspect. Zhou Xiyun himself still doesn't like Song Xinyu, he doesn't consider Song Xinyu his friend, and doesn't usually associate with him very much.

Song Xinyu was the same, he was fine on the surface, but in reality he was colder than Zhou Xiyun, he kidnapped Qiao Yan every time he played tricks, and didn't like anyone else.

Thinking that the balance was good, Qiao Yan was quite happy, and didn't feel anything was wrong.

Zhou Xiyun didn't care about it, and could barely adapt.

However, the idea was only temporary, and after more than half a year passed, when Qiao Yan and Song Xinyu's friendship gradually increased, unknowingly overwhelming Zhou Xiyun, the situation changed again.

He didn't know what was going on, but they were still getting along as usual, and when he recovered, Zhou Xiyun realized that he was excluded.

And after experiencing an unpleasant banquet, the tilted balance became more serious, so that something changed, and they somehow became the so-called "dead enemies".
