Chapter 28(1/3)
The friendship between Huo Shu and Li Shen ended unexpectedly one minute after it started. What also ended very quickly was the life of the school forum.
When those who had made offensive remarks could not withstand the pressure and published long apologies on the forum, Zhou Xiaoyun also voluntarily dropped out of school after the Li family filed a complaint and posted an apology on the forum. She posted
After posting, Li Shen asked someone to make her post more refined and pin it to the top, and then directly banned the forum through legal channels.
In other words, no more posts or comments can be posted in this forum. Those apology posts will always be posted there, and no new posts will be posted.
"...Your brother looks so careless, but I didn't expect him to be very vicious." He Lei lamented.
Li Qianqian glanced at her sideways, "Who is poisonous?"
"I am poisoning myself," He Lei begged for mercy immediately, "Brother, drink hot water."
Li Qianqian was amused by her, "My brother is easy to get along with, but only if you don't provoke him."
"I see," He Lei clicked her tongue and was about to say something else when she saw Su Yu come in. She immediately shut up and waited for someone to walk by before asking in a low voice, "Have you ignored her recently?"
"Um."
"Then will your mother talk about you? After all, we are relatives." He Lei was a little curious.
Li Qianqian paused and looked at her calmly, "My mother went to the United States after remarrying. I haven't seen her in almost ten years."
"...Is that so? Did I ask something I shouldn't have asked?" He Lei suddenly regretted it.
Li Qianqian smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm no longer a child crying for my mother."
"That's good hehe." He Lei rubbed her hands and took out a toffee from her schoolbag and gave it to her.
Li Qianqian sighed softly and looked into the corridor, suddenly feeling a little bad. Recently, her uncle often asked her to go home for dinner. She knew why without even thinking about it, so she kept using her studies as an excuse, and she didn't know what she could do with it.
Time to go.
... Let’s just put it off for a day. Anyway, it’s just a matter of making up a reason. Li Qianqian cheered up, opened the exercise book and started to do the questions.
Just like their days at school passed quickly, when everyone put on winter clothes, when Li Qianqian passed the fifth grade in the last exam, a semester passed.
Li Qianqian held the scissors and looked at Huo Shu nervously, "Do you really want me to cut it for you?"
"You used to cut it." Huo Shu tied a bath towel around his neck to temporarily serve as a haircut bib.
Li Qianqian curled her lips, "But the few times I cut it before didn't look good."
Huo Shu paused and said, "It looks good."
"Don't lie to me, I don't have no aesthetic taste." Li Qianqian laughed.
Huo Shu looked at her seriously, "Many people say it looks good, and they even imitate me."
Li Qianqian "..." It seems so.
Maybe it's because the aura of the god of learning is too strong, or maybe it's because Huo Shu's face is a bonus. After he had a dog-gnawed bangs for a semester, more and more people in the school got this kind of haircut... Of course, it's all very disastrous.
That’s it.
However, the school has always been unreasonable in following trends. Even if it doesn't look good, as long as it becomes popular, people will keep trying. Now even other schools are starting to imitate it. She has also heard others secretly praise Huo Shu for being trendy... Thank you very much.
They believe that Huo Shu’s new trend is purely because of her poor skills.
"Cut it." Huo Shu said firmly.
Seeing his persistence, Li Qianqian had no choice but to take a deep breath and start, muttering something while cutting, "I've watched a lot of videos in the past few days, and I will definitely cut better than before..."
Huo Shu sat there quietly with his eyes lowered, and the corners of his lips raised an inconspicuous arc.
Ten minutes later, Huo Shu looked at himself in the mirror and fell silent.
"...What do you think?" Li Qianqian looked at him, feeling a little guilty for a moment. She wanted to give him a nice haircut to make him look easier to get along with, but because she was too nervous, she accidentally cut it into
The lid of the pot was removed, and the hair around her ears was cut off a lot in order to make her appear obedient, leaving her in an almost irreparable state.
...This time he looks more like a pot lid. Not even his appearance can save him from such a bad hairstyle.
Huo Shu was quiet for a long time and then looked at her, "Why don't you cut it like before?"
"I don't think that kind of looks good." Li Qian smiled faintly.
Hearing this, Huo Shu became quiet again, turned around and stared at the mirror for a long time, and asked sincerely again, "Do you think this looks good?"
Li Qianqian "..."
It was rare to be quiet in the attic. After a long time, Li Qianqian whispered, "I'll take you to the barber shop."
"……Um."
After giving his head to Li Qianqian for half a year, Huo Shu was finally willing to go to the barber shop.
When the two of them went out, Huo Shu was still wearing a peaked cap, with the brim of the hat pulled low, only half of his face was exposed. When Li Shen, who happened to be going out as well, saw it, he couldn't help but joke, "You're going to be a thief in broad daylight.
Why is it so strong?"
His words didn't hurt Huo Shu, but they hurt Li Qianqian. Li Qianqian immediately replied, "Why do you care so much?"
Li Shen had long been used to his sister facing outsiders. When he heard this, he glanced sideways at her, "You are everywhere, aren't you going to your uncle's house? Why are you still at home?"
"...I'll go in two days." Li Qianqian muttered. Her uncle and the others had been calling her in the past half term. She was tired of looking for excuses, so she decided to go there recently, and then she would find reasons not to go during the Chinese New Year.
Already.
I just promised it for several days and have been putting off going.
Li Shen looked at her reluctance and frowned gradually, "I haven't talked to you yet. Did they do something to make you suddenly break up with them? I remember you weren't with them before.
Have you always been close?"
Huo Shu paused and looked at her inquiringly.
Li Qianqian pursed her lips and said, "No, I just suddenly wanted to understand something."
"What?" Li Shen was curious.
Li Qianqian looked at him and smiled for a while, "My brother is the best person to me in the world, and he is also the person closest to me. Anyone who sows our relationship has an agenda, whether it is my uncle's family,
It’s still uncle’s house.”
Li Shen was stunned, and Huo Shu lowered his eyes.
"Brother, didn't you often go to your uncle's house a while ago? Why haven't you gone now that it's winter vacation? Is it because they told you bad things about me and you didn't want to hear that that's why you didn't go?" Li Qianqian looked innocent.
ask.
Li Shen choked and coughed, "They also care about me and don't mean any harm."
"We won't discuss this matter. Anyway, you will understand sooner or later. I just hope you won't be separated from me because of what they said. You must remember that the two of us are dependent on each other." Li Qianqian finished filming.
He patted Li Shen on the arm and took Huo Shu to the barber shop.
Li Shen frowned and stood there without speaking for a long time.
The weather was dry and cold, and the branches on the roadside were frozen stiff.
Li Qianqian only wore a denim jacket, and soon the tip of her nose turned red. When she sneezed for the third time, Huo Shu took off his down jacket.
She hurriedly waved her hands, "I don't want it, just put it on quickly."
"Give me yours." Huo Shu looked at her coat.
Li Qianqian couldn't laugh or cry, "It's really no need, this is it."
Huo Shu looked at her silently, holding the down jacket in his hand with no intention of putting it back on. Li Qianqian had no choice but to give him her coat, then took his down jacket and put it on.
Although it had been taken off for a while, his body temperature still remained on the down jacket, making it warm after putting it on. Li Qianqian watched him put on his jacket, and was a little moved for a moment, so she spoke in a nasal voice.
Acting coquettishly: "Why are you so nice to me?"
"Not good." Huo Shu glanced at her lightly, turned around and walked towards the barber shop.
Li Qianqian was keenly aware that he was unhappy. After a pause, she chased after him and followed him with a smile. "Who said you are not good? I think you are the best person to me in the world."
After hearing her words, Huo Shu coldly uttered a single syllable "ha", and then glanced at her, "You just said that Li Shen is the best to you."
Li Qianqian paused and laughed, "Can it be the same?"
"Why is it different?" Huo Shu asked with a cold face.
Li Qianqian thought for a while, "Then let me say it again, he is the best to me among the people who are related to me by blood, and you are the best to me among the people who are not related to me by blood. Is that okay?"
"No," Huo Shu didn't buy it and glanced at her indifferently, "Since it is the best, there must be number one and number two."
"Then you are number one." Li Qianqian answered decisively. At worst, she would change her answer when Li Shen asked.
Huo Shu didn't know whether he believed it or not, but his eyebrows relaxed a lot. Li Qianqian pulled the corners of his clothes to please him. Only when his expression became calm did he secretly breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that this test was over, but -
"He and I fell into the water at the same time, who do you save first?" Huo Shu suddenly asked.
Li Qianqian was speechless, "...I shouldn't have bought you a smartphone. What kind of nonsense did you read online?"
"Answer me." Huo Shu looked at her seriously.
Li Qianqian had no choice but to "save you, save you, okay?"
"The premise is that neither of us can swim." Huo Shu added.
Li Qianqian's mouth twitched, trying to be serious, "Save you, let Li Shen drown."
