Boom—tick tock—wow—wow—wow—

Rain, rain, heavy rain, torrential rain.

An afternoon thunderstorm caught people off guard.There was thunder and rain, and for a while, a group of people were hiding, dodging, running, jumping, running around, and fled.

Lu Xiaoyan sat on the steps, resting her chin in one hand, staring boredly at the tourists running around in the rain.

Today is not a weekend or a holiday, but the number of tourists in this botanical garden is scary.And most of them are young people, which makes people wonder how did the economic miracle of T city come about?

It's been raining so well!Lu Xiaoyan looked up at the ticking eaves, thinking so in her heart.A smile gradually appeared on her face, and now the empty lotus pond is the botanical garden in her mind.

Lu Xiaoyan rested her chin again, stared at the lush lotus pond, and once again thought sadly about the various situations at school today.

Da, da, da, da——

There were steady footsteps coming from the aisle ahead, Lu Xiaoyan put down her hand resting on her chin, trying hard to see the person coming.But the rain was really heavy, and all I could see were misty water curtains.

It sounded like the footsteps were coming towards her.

"It's disgusting, now I'm not the only one!" Lu Xiaoyan pouted and read unhappily.

The first thing that appeared in the water curtain was a green umbrella.She couldn't see the pattern of the umbrella clearly, but she only knew that according to the height of the umbrella in mid-air, the owner of the umbrella seemed to be very tall, walking slowly towards her, and the umbrella in his hand was——

Green, shades of green.There are two webbed claws stepping in the air with the rhythm of the umbrella——

claw!
Lu Xiaoyan forgot the displeasure of being disturbed.She raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she was sure that her eyes were right.

The umbrella really has two claws, and the top of the umbrella has a pair of big round eyes.That is a very cute - frog!
Lu Xiaoyan's wide-open eyes suddenly rolled, and then there was a "puchi".

"Puff—hahaha—green, frog—hahaha—"

Qiao Minghuang walked all the way to the meeting place with Qian Yushan.From a distance, he heard a childish laughter——

He saw a little girl in the same student uniform as him, sitting on the top of the steps, leaning forward and backward with a smile.

Qiao Minghuang stood under the eaves, holding a big umbrella in one hand and leaning on his waist with the other, looking at the little girl with raised eyebrows.

"what's so funny!"

He didn't raise his voice, nor did he yell at her, he just asked quietly and slowly.However, the little girl didn't seem to agree with him, she still laughed uncontrollably, clapping her hands and kicking her legs, as if suffering from a laughing disease.

"Hahaha—green, frog—ha—the big boy took a green—ouch—I laughed so hard! Hahaha——"

Lu Xiaoyan hugged her stomach with one hand and patted the steps with the other, laughing uncontrollably.She didn't know how she could be so disrespectful, but she felt funny when she saw a Jianzhong student who was usually flamboyant holding a super kawaii and super explosive green umbrella.

frog?

Qiao Minghuang raised his eyes and stared at the pair of big round eyes and the grinning frog above his head, muttering in his heart.

When he went out in the morning, his mother reminded them that there would be thunderstorms today, and he was too annoyed to take it, but his mother grabbed him and stuffed him with Qiao Ling's umbrella.

hateful!Cause him to spend the whole day in ridicule!

He was full of anger, and now seeing this lifeless brat laughing like this, he became even angrier!
Qiao Minghuang squinted at the laughing little baby, clicked his tongue, and said coldly: "White, color, yes."

"Ha - drink -"

Satisfied, he watched the girl reflexively quickly reach out and grab the hem of her skirt, stopped laughing, sat upright, and stared at him with big eyes.He secretly smiled inwardly, squinting triumphantly at her with the expression on her face that he was a pervert.

He was startled, and was fascinated by her pair of deep emerald-like transparent and bright green eyes.Her student's short, ear-length hair is light brown with big waves, and the hair color is so light that it is close to golden yellow.

A foreign girl—but she clearly spoke Chinese just now.

Lu Xiaoyan's laughter stopped when she heard the cruel words, she quickly covered herself in panic.She glared at the tall boy in front of her with displeasure.

Tall and strong with lines and strong physique, but without suffocating rigidity.Thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose, and prismatic lips—he is as handsome and stylish as the male protagonist in the comics that his classmates love to read.The monotonous earth-colored uniform looked exceptionally good on him.

A playful smile appeared on his moderately thick lips.

"What? I've never seen a boy as handsome as Big Brother, so you're dumbfounded? Oh—don't be like this, I'll be shy!"

"Big, perverted, wolf——" I hate it!Why is his mouth so bad!Lu Xiaoyan pouted at him angrily.

"Oh—" Qiao Minghuang stared at her in surprise, and put the umbrella in his hand down beside his calf.A burst of anger ignited in his heart, and he asked her angrily: "Who do you call a pervert?!"

"You!"

"You kid, didn't the teacher teach you to be polite?" He yelled angrily and took a step forward, dragging the umbrella in his hand forward, spilling a drop of water.

"Hmph, who was rude first!"

Lu Xiaoyan got a little angry, she stood up angrily and looked at him without fear.

"Hmph! Who's the first to laugh and stagger around without a tutor? You're so generous, it's hard for people not to see clearly!"

Lu Xiaoyan clenched her pink fist, trembling slightly in anger.What she hates most is that people call her "no tutor", which is her Achilles' heel - because she has no home at all.

"Aren't you going to cry if you can't win the quarrel?" Qiao Minghuang stepped forward a step, he stretched out his hand and asked nervously, but the next three words she said made him stop all his movements and expressions——

"Mother, mother, Qiang." Lu Xiaoyan raised her eyes and looked at him coldly with her nose outstretched.

After Qiao Minghuang came to his senses, he rushed up to the top of the steps quickly. She took a step back in fright, and he lowered his head even more aggressively and stared at her who was only as tall as his chest.

He yelled loudly and threateningly: "You little brat deserves a beating!"

"How?" Lu Xiaoyan stepped forward to confront him and stared.

"How?" Qiao Minghuang stepped forward and yelled at her, gritted his teeth.

The two irrelevant strangers just stared at each other with deep hatred, and neither would let the other—

1 minutes later.

Qiao Minghuang rolled his eyes, let out a sigh of frustration, put down his fist and shook his head, and said, "Oh my God! I know as much as you, a brat! Enough is enough! Sigh——"

He shook his head and said annoyedly, turned around and sat down on a step that was not splashed by his umbrella. He put the umbrella away and put his hands on the ground with his palms facing down. lotus pond.

Lu Xiaoyan also fell silent. She walked to him and knelt down, and said stubbornly, "I'm not a brat."

Qiao Minghuang turned his head to look at her stubborn green eyes.

She spoke again: "I will be 15 years old next month, and this year I will take the high school entrance examination! Next Wednesday is the graduation ceremony."

She spoke seriously, and he listened carefully.

Then, he sneered.

"Tsk, huh——you're still a brat, tell me when you're in college. Then, maybe I'll admit you're an adult!"

As he said that, he stretched out his big palm and rubbed the top of her soft hair as lovingly as he did for Qiao Ling. After finishing speaking, he looked at the lotus pond with ease.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she looked at him eagerly.After he turned his face away, she pinched her nose and stared down at the steps with some tears in her eyes.

Qiao Minghuang didn't notice the change in her mood, as if thinking of something, he shook his head and chuckled.

"Oh—how strange, when I was teased for holding that strange umbrella all day today, I didn't get angry at all, I was just bored, but after arguing with you, I felt very happy! And I'm still three years older than you!"

He looked back at her with a smile, and she looked back at him with a smile.

"Why do you hold this frog umbrella? In our class, whoever dares to hold such an umbrella will definitely be laughed to death!"

"Oh, it's not my mother! She—" Qiao Minghuang talked about what happened this morning.

Lu Xiaoyan listened to him with a smile, and the two chatted easily.

"Ah! By the way," Qiao Minghuang stopped laughing, looked at her puzzled and asked, "Today is not a holiday, and junior high school should not be over at this time, right? Then why are you here? Could it be you -"

Lu Xiaoyan hesitated for a moment, looked at his puzzled face, and forced a smile.Turning her head and not looking at him, she retracted her feet, put her arms around herself, shrugged and said, "I don't have class this afternoon."

"Oh—" he said distrustfully.

But she turned around suddenly, grabbed his left arm with her small hand, and asked him expectantly: "Big brother, are your parents good people?"

He raised his eyebrows, not to mention her attempt to divert his attention with a sweet tone.

He smiled, nodded and replied: "Well, he is a very good person."

"That's great." She turned her head and said softly with her fingers together, her little mouth smiling sweetly.

"Uh—you—" He stretched out his hand to call her, only then did he realize that he didn't know her name.

She looked back at him again, and this time, there was a different kind of sparkle in her eyes, a kind of sad expression and some unspeakable excitement.

"Big brother, do you think I look strange?"

Her words produced a strange emotion that penetrated his whole body, and he asked her softly in a daze: "Why do you ask that?"

Lu Xiaoyan blinked her green eyes, tilted her head slightly, and sighed: "Look, big brother's eyes are black like everyone else's, but mine are green, and big brother's hair—"

Every time she said a word, she stretched out her hand back and forth to compare the differences between the two.He gasped slightly with difficulty breathing, unable to tell what it felt like, a little surprised, a little strange distressed.

He raised his hand, gently touched the corner of her eye with the ball of his thumb, stroked back and forth, and whispered softly: "You idiot, you are not surprised at all. These eyes are the greenest eyes I have ever seen." His hand Passing over her forehead, fingers curled her soft hair and sighed: "This hair is the most beautiful light brown I have ever seen."

"really?"

Her little face lit up, and she grabbed his hand forgetfully again.He felt her happiness and nodded with a smile.

Lu Xiaoyan let go of his hand, turned to open the schoolbag, took out a piece of paper from inside, and showed it excitedly.

"Look! This is the model student award awarded to me by the principal during the court meeting this morning! I will get it every year!"

Qiao Minghuang took a careful look at the certificate, her class and name were clearly printed on it.

Lu Xiaoyan, class five, three years

Qiao Huang kept it in his heart, looked at Lu Xiaoyan who was blushing from the award certificate, raised his hand to rub her hair, and said proudly and appreciatively: "Mmm! Xiaoyan is great!"

Lu Xiaoyan squinted her eyes and smiled sweetly. She looked down at the certificate, and then carefully put back her schoolbag.

"This can't be dropped, you have to show it to the dean when you go back. She can't come to the parent meeting in the afternoon, so when you go back, you must show her to see it before putting it away!"

"Dean?"

Although he had somewhat guessed her life experience from her words, his heart skipped a beat when he heard her confirm it personally.

"Well, Dean. I grew up in a nursery school, and Dean Lu is very nice! But she is a bit old, and I am so worried. I really hope to finish the high school entrance examination soon, and I want to work in a convenience store .Then--"

"How much can you help?" He interrupted her, seeing her hurt expression, he let out a long sigh.Then, I posted her text and said softly to persuade her: "Hey - I mean, before you are an adult, you should only think about studying hard and doing your duty. I think Dean Lu should be against it. You go out to work! Let the adults deal with the adults' affairs, huh?"

"But I-"

"The Underworld Emperor—"

A sudden soft voice interrupted Lu Xiaoyan's words.Qiao Minghuang put down his hands, and the two turned to the source of the sound at the same time.

Qian Yushan, who was dressed in a green and black dress uniform, stood about one meter away with an umbrella and looked at them.

Lu Xiaoyan looked back and forth at the strange look in their eyes, she turned her head and saw the sincerity in Qiao Minghuang's eyes flickering, replaced by a sinister look, he bent his elbows and leaned on the steps, evoked A smile.

"Hi! Yushan."

Qiao Minghuang greeted Lu Xiaoyan with a slap in the face, as if sensing Lu Xiaoyan's gaze beside him, he turned his head to face her and smiled.Without any explanation, he stood up, stretched the muscles, moved the frog umbrella to Lu Xiaoyan's side, and stood in front of Qian Yushan with his back to her.

He stretched out his hand and rubbed her hair lovingly again, and persuaded softly: "Xiaoyan, you have to apologize to the teachers for running out of school this afternoon, otherwise everyone will worry about you. Well, what else do you want?" Study hard for exams, work, etc., you can ask the discipline office or the instructor to help you after you enter high school. Don’t take the risk to find it yourself, everything will be fine. Trust Brother Hades, okay?”

Lu Xiaoyan raised her head to look at Qiao Minghuang's sincere smile, and after a while, she lowered her eyes and nodded heavily.

Qiao Minghuang finally smoothed her messy hair for her, turned around and raised his hands, and rushed under Qian Yushan's umbrella in the rain.Qian Yushan ran forward to cover him from the rain, Qiao Minghuang put his arm around her shoulders, and the rain man left together, leaving behind an umbrella and Lu Xiaoyan.

Lu Xiaoyan didn't raise her head until the sound of their footsteps disappeared, and blinked to see the figure disappearing in the heavy rain, and a part of her seemed to disappear along with it.

She turned to look at the falling rain, tears slipped into her tight heart, she swallowed the choking in her throat again and again, and her eyes returned to the direction where Qiao Minghuang disappeared.

A feeling called loss lingers for a long time.

The rain seems to be mourning for something——

The rain got bigger and even her cheeks were wet.

It's summer again.

Lu Xiaoyan bit her straw and looked at the passers-by outside the window, and heard the laughter of several female classmates, plus the usual noise in fast food restaurants.

She has been staring at the sunny street outside the window, the paper cup in her hand has been softened by the moisture, she bites the straw and sucks hard, the empty cup of soda makes a sound of air after drinking.Someone pushed her left shoulder suddenly, and she turned her head to see Yazhen's smiling face.She raised a black eyebrow, put down the paper cup in her hand, her right hand was completely wet with water drops, she picked up a paper towel and wiped it.

"Lu Zi, everyone is discussing the matter of filling out the application, have you decided?" Ya Zhen asked her with a smile.

For a moment, the other four female students also asked in unison: "That's right! Lu Zi's grades will definitely be able to get into a T university. Which department do you decide to study? Is it law or business management?"

"Yes, tell me!"

Facing everyone's booing, Lu Xiaoyan curled her lips and smiled, and she crumpled up the tissue after wiping and threw it on the dinner plate.

She shrugged and said, "I don't know, I haven't decided yet, what about you? Are you all decided?"

"Yes!" Everyone began to talk about the order of their volunteers.

Lu Xiaoyan looked at everyone talking about their wishes, feeling happy and envious in her heart.Everyone has decided on their own future, only she——

Suddenly, one of the female students raised her hand and waved: "Ah, hey, he talked so much, and he was from the Department of Tourism, Foreign Languages, International Trade, Enterprise Management, and Law. These are not important! The important thing is, go on. In the next four years of college, you will definitely have to take the 'Love Credit'!"

Everyone applauded and nodded frequently, except Lu Xiaoyan.

Xiaoyu, who made a high-level opinion, asked her in surprise: "Luzi, don't you agree?"

Lu Xiaoyan looked at everyone's staring eyes, laughed, shrugged her shoulders and replied: "Well, it's not that I don't agree, it's just that everyone has their own aspirations!"

"Gege - our way, but we already have our own hearts!"

"Ya Zhen!"

Lu Xiaoyan stared at her beautiful eyes in displeasure, but it didn't help at all, and everyone started discussing again.

"So that's the case, no wonder that group of boys in Jianzhong couldn't catch up with you!"

"That's right, it's not surprising that Yiluzi has one or two boyfriends, don't you think so?"

"Yes! Lu Zi is our school belle!"

Being praised so overwhelmingly by her good friends, Lu Xiaoyan blushed in embarrassment, and angrily pinched Yazhen next to her who caused trouble under the table.

Xiaoyu, who was sitting opposite, shook her head abruptly, and said, "Oh my God, Lu Zi, you are still obsessed with the Prince Charming who came and went in a hurry three years ago! It's been three years! More than 1000 days have passed Whew! Don’t you give up? You went to the botanical garden to wait for him every Tuesday throughout the first year of high school, and you didn’t even get a shadow, did you? Why—”

"Stop saying a few words!" The female classmate next to Xiaoyu pulled her to stop her, asking her to see how pale Luzi's face had become.

There was an awkward silence.

Seeing the bewildered panic on everyone's faces, Lu Xiaoyan's heart sank. She couldn't comfort everyone with a smile.

Three years ago, her heart was really lost in the Arboretum, on that rainy Tuesday afternoon.

She often wonders if he misses her as much as she does!
But the answer will never be solved.

In the three years of high school life, she has been living in the shadow of Qian Yushan. From the principal to the seniors, everyone compares her with Qian Yushan, a talented girl.

Competitiveness makes her work harder than everyone else in all aspects, just because she doesn't want to "lose" her heart, just because "him" says "study hard".She has kept this feeling a secret, and she has always only wanted to get closer to "him" slowly.

I don’t understand, what’s wrong with such an attachment!
"Ah—ah, that's right!" A female classmate couldn't stand the suffocating atmosphere and broke the deadlock. She took out a business magazine from her bag and carefully showed the cover to everyone.

"Look! Isn't this man handsome? He's handsome, isn't he? I saw this cover in the bookstore just now, and rushed to the counter to check out without saying a word. I really want to know him!"

"I see. Oh! This kind of rare animal with a good family background, good looks, and good education is a high cliff that we can't climb!"

The girls passed the magazines back and forth, and when Lu Xiaoyan saw that handsome face clearly, her mind went blank.

Lu Xiaoyan stretched out her hand tremblingly, and said holding her breath, "Xiaoqi, can you give me that magazine?"

Xiaoqi looked at her abnormally expectant face strangely, she looked back and forth at everyone, and then replied with a smile pretending to be nothing, "Okay! It's okay, you can take it! I'll just go buy it again."

Lu Xiaoyan took the magazine carefully, staring at the familiar smile on the cover, those deep and bright black eyes seemed to be looking back at her.She whispered, "Thank you."

Xiaoqi thought she was thanking her, she smiled and replied: "It's okay!"

Everyone continued to discuss and chat.

Lu Xiaoyan couldn't take her eyes off the man on the cover.

Three years ago, he said, "Everything will be fine, can you trust Brother Hades?" He did it!
The next week, the nursery was adopted by the Qiao family chaebol, who took care of everything in the nursery, allowing her to sprint in her studies with peace of mind.

She has always hoped to see him again, to say thank you, to say that she was admitted to a key middle school, that she received a certificate of merit, and to say many, many things.

She waited for him for a year, but she didn't.

If she could see him again, she would be able to talk, she would be able to—

Lu Xiaoyan has a plan in her heart at this moment, she wants to get closer to Qiao Minghuang.For no reason, I just want to see him again and tell him everything about her.

Her future is decided at this moment.

It's summer graduation season again.

Lu Xiaoyan bit her lower lip nervously. Beside her were nearly a hundred women in suits who were busy brushing their eyelashes, putting on makeup, combing their hair, and spraying perfume.These women have only one purpose - to win this secretarial job.

The chance of this is only one percent, but she can't lose.

The opportunity she has been waiting for for seven years can finally come true today, and she must not fail.

Lu Xiaoyan stood up from her seat, she needed some fresh air.She quietly walked out of the reception room.Her number is 98, and it shouldn't matter if she leaves for a while, she took a step forward with this in mind.

Lu Xiaoyan went to the corner and opened the escape door, she was careful not to let the door lock, then she went to the window to breathe air.

"I heard that Mr. Qiao applied for secretary today, and more than 100 people came here!"

"Yeah! I don't think those women have a chance. They are all dressed up in fancy dresses. I don't think that Joe is always looking for a secretary instead of a wife. I just want to use this to fly to the branches! Alas——"

"Heh - ouch, it's not that I don't know everyone's thoughts. It's so easy to sit firmly in the throne, and everyone in the company doesn't have to work. Just think of tricks to catch Mr. Qiao every day!"

"That's right! They—"

Lu Xiaoyan didn't walk out of the stairwell until the sound of footsteps left.She blinked and looked at the turning corridor, she took a deep breath, felt a little uneasy, and walked back to the reception room along the way she came.

The women who applied were still trying to get a chance to be admitted, but Lu Xiaoyan found that the number of people inside had decreased by two-thirds during her absence.

She tried to calm herself down between inhales and exhales.She turned sideways and looked at herself in the mirror behind her.

Her long, curly brown hair was simply tied up on her head, and her emerald green eyes had been wearing corneal photochromic contact lenses, showing dark eyeballs. Just in case, she also wore a pair of light brown glasses.Over the past year, she has long been used to this kind of dress, which is safe and appropriate.

Lu Xiaoyan looked at herself in the mirror, closed her eyes behind the lens, took a deep breath, and then opened her eyes again.

She told herself: Don't be afraid, you can do it!You have graduated from college and are 22 years old.You can handle anything, you can!
Lu Xiaoyan prepared herself mentally, unaware that behind the mirror, a pair of black pupils with refined eyes were staring at her every breath.There was a flash of light in the black eyes, and a cold and evil smile appeared, waiting for everything to develop.

The door of the reception room was suddenly opened, and everyone looked expectantly at the person who appeared at the door.

Jin Beiqi glanced at the content of the note in his hand, smiled amusedly, pushed the frame of the mirror, and announced the message sonorously: "Number 98, Miss Lu Xiaoyan, please come in!"

As soon as the signal came out, there was an uproar. Lu Xiaoyan was surprised and didn't know how to react. She had the same doubts as everyone else.

"Why? I haven't even interviewed on the 69th, why did I skip to the 98th?"

A burst of why suddenly sounded one after another.Jin Beiqi raised his hand and coughed twice, then walked towards Lu Xiaoyan.

"Miss Lu, please come with me. Everyone - I sincerely thank you for your love for our company. The presiding judges have reviewed your resumes. I am sorry that your talents do not meet the needs of our company. I look forward to the next time. I still have the opportunity to work with you all, please come back—Miss Lu, please!"

Lu Xiaoyan walked out of the reception room under the eyes of more than twenty pairs of resentment, and followed Jin Beiqi into a large conference hall.The five chief examiners sat in the front row and waited for her.She took it easy and gracefully, but felt a sense of loss in her heart - she didn't see Qiao Minghuang.

Half an hour later, Lu Xiaoyan stepped out of "Qiao's Building". She still couldn't believe it. She stood at the door and thought about it for a long time.

A smile crept up her delicate face, she got the job!
Qiao Minghuang did not show up for the interview, but starting tomorrow, she will be able to approach him.

After seven years of waiting for the summer, it is finally about to unfold——
