What's wrong with me?

But when she saw the bad guy in front of her unconsciously revealing an expression as if he had gotten a great bargain, she felt ashamed and an inexplicable sweetness welling up in her chest, which made her unable to get angry at all.

In Qi Xia's memory, the monitor was a girl who was too proud to compromise herself. When he saw her proudly raising her beautiful black braids like now, rolling her eyes and glaring at him, smiling at him with her bright eyes in an especially charming way, Qi Xia felt as if his breathing slowed down a little bit, and he said without thinking, "That's a good feeling. Monitor, you were born in winter, and I happened to be born when the wheat was ripe, so I was named Qi Xia, because I was born to represent heat, and anyone standing next to me can feel warm, so if you feel cold, monitor, come to me, I will definitely heat you to death."

Qi Xia blurted out the words, but he regretted it as soon as he said it. He really said this instinctively, and he didn't have any special thoughts, or wanted to tease the monitor or something. It's just that this sentence sounded a bit ambiguous to others, and he had just promised the monitor in the morning that he would never tease her again.

Just as Qi Xia expected, the squad leader's face turned red all of a sudden, and she raised her neck slightly. Her soft and fair skin was not as white as snow, but it exuded a warm and jade-like luster. She just bit her thin lips lightly, and her beautiful eyes were full of shame. She was looking at him with a reproachful look, but there was no sign of annoyance in her eyes.

"Qi Xia..." The squad leader's voice was a little dazed, her dark eyes were a little misty. She looked at Qi Xia's face, and felt that the strange feeling in her heart seemed to surface again. She used her palms to support her slightly hot cheeks, and her mood suddenly became messy, and her fair face was covered with a light red blush.

"You said this morning that you wouldn't tease me again, but now it's only been a while and you're bullying me again." The monitor realized that Qi Xia was looking at her and glared at him unhappily. She turned her head away, as if she didn't want to pay attention to Qi Xia anymore. Her ponytail, which was always proud, stood up high. She said, "Didn't you say you had something to do? Hurry up and go. Class will start soon."

Qi Xia patted his head, as if he just remembered that he still had things to do. He talked to the class monitor for a long time, and because he was attracted by the class monitor's "beauty", most of the break time had passed.

He hurried to the next class, knocked on the window at the door, and said to a female classmate sitting by the window, "Classmate, can you help me call Xia Xinran from your class? I have something to ask her. Thank you."

"Are you looking for Xia Xinran?" The girl sitting by the window glanced at Qi Xia, but her eyes were a little weird, as if asking how someone could be so stubborn and stupid as to not give up? But she didn't say much, she turned around and went to the class to help him call Xia Xinran out.

Xia Xinran in the class was sitting alone in her seat reading a book, with no one next to her. Although Qi Xia had no one to talk to in the next class, it seemed that many people knew Qi Xia. When they heard that someone was looking for Xia Xinran, many people looked at Qi Xia, seeming a little surprised.

Qi Xia could also understand why their eyes were so strange. After all, a boy from the next class suddenly ran here to look for someone, and the person he was looking for was a beautiful girl of the same level as Jiang Xinyao from Class 7. This really made people think too much.

The strange reason was naturally because he was looking for Xia Xinran. Almost all the boys in the school knew that there was a very beautiful girl in the school, who was a rich lady, but was particularly cold to everyone.

Although such girls seem a little distant to most boys, after all, there will always be a few brave boys who dare to flirt with her.

Before Qi Xia was reborn, he had heard that several boys in school wanted to confess to Xia Xinran, and some of them were even in their first and second year of high school. But unfortunately, nothing came of it in the end, because let alone confession, Xia Xinran's cold gaze and voice were enough to make all the boys who were interested in her give up.

Not long after, Xia Xinran came out. When she heard that someone wanted to look for her, she just frowned and looked at Qi Xia outside the window, then stood up and walked out leisurely.

In front of Qi Xia, Xia Xinran, who looked like a snow lotus, stood with her back to the railing in the corridor. Her long black hair fell softly on her back. The black and red plaid velvet jacket was beautiful and generous. The gray and white trousers made her beautiful legs look even more slender and well-proportioned. She looked at Qi Xia with a cold gaze, as if questioning who Qi Xia was and what she wanted from her.

If Qi Xia's English teacher Lin Shihan only looked cold and aloof because she had few expressions, then Xia Xinran gave people a completely cold feeling at this moment, like an ice sculpture in the snow. When she started talking, Qi Xia felt as if his body temperature had dropped by several degrees.

"What's the matter with you?"

She asked Qi Xia, but her cold tone seemed to reveal a lingering sense of fatigue.

Qi Xia's heart was pounding when he saw Xia Xinran's narrowed eyes and cold gaze in front of him. However, her eye sockets, which should have been white, were now slightly dark. Qi Xia felt that she seemed to have not slept all night and looked very tired.

"This thing is yours, right? You were painting by the lotus pond yesterday at noon and accidentally dropped it somewhere."

Chapter 78 Melting

"It's this pendant. It should be yours, right?"

When Qi Xia took out Xia Xinran's pendant from his pocket, he didn't know if it was an illusion, but for a moment, Qi Xia felt as if he was suffocated in water and couldn't breathe.

"give me back!"

He saw that the moment he took out the pendant, Xia Xinran's icy cold gaze fell on the object in his hand, her dark pupils staring at his hand tightly, and then, before Qi Xia could even react, the pendant in his hand had been snatched away by her.

"hiss……"

The girl's rough action left two red scratches on the back of Qi Xia's hand, causing Qi Xia to gasp in pain.

Qi Xia was numb. He was clearly doing a good deed by returning other people's things he had found, but why was he treated like this? But he also saw that when Xia Xinran snatched the cheap-looking pendant from his hand, the heavy fatigue and confusion between her brows suddenly disappeared and turned into a faint sense of security.

Xia Xinran held the pendant in her hand carefully. She stared at it as if she was looking at some very precious treasure. The cold eyes that were looking at others and Qi Xia turned to the pendant and became soft and warm in an instant, like melting ice and snow.

A round shoulder, followed by a delicate collarbone, quietly poked out from the collar of the plaid velvet jacket, revealing a temptation that had never been shown to others. Xia Xinran stared at the pendant, and her face, which was always as cold as ice, revealed a faint shy smile. For a moment, she was actually charming and enchanting.

Qi Xia thought he had seen it wrong, but the fleeting smile of the girl in front of him had already been imprinted on his retina. He was not wrong. He was also a little surprised that a rich girl would be so fond of a very cheap pendant that was obviously made of plastic, but he thought it was normal. After all, whether it was his aunt, Xinyao, or Yue Ran, they all collected the cheap little gadgets he gave them as treasures.

Xia Xinran in front of him gradually calmed down. She seemed to realize how inappropriate her behavior was. Feeling Qi Xia's gaze on her, she couldn't help but frowned slightly, but still said to Qi Xia: "I'm sorry, I was too impulsive just now. I have been looking for this pendant for a whole day and night. I searched everywhere at home and on the roads I walked on, but couldn't find it. I didn't expect that you would pick it up."

She hesitated for a moment, then continued, "This pendant is very important to me, so thank you very much, what gift would you like?"

Perhaps because Qi Xia helped her find her important pendant, her gaze towards Qi Xia was still indifferent, but no longer as cold as before.

Qi Xia heard her words and waved his hand, "No need for any thanks, it's just a small favor."

Although Xia Xinran apologized to Qi Xia promptly, the scratch at the beginning still caused Qi Xia's impression of this rich lady to slightly decline - he really seemed to be unable to get along with this young lady who was picked up and dropped off by luxury cars to and from school.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first." The preparatory bell was about to ring, and Qi Xia was about to go back to class, but unexpectedly, Xia Xinran stopped him.

"Don't go. Someone once told me that if you accept a favor, you must be grateful. You helped me find the lost pendant, and I must thank you. So, how should I thank you?"

Xia Xinran grabbed Qi Xia's sleeves, forcing Qi Xia to stop. He didn't expect Xia Xinran to be so persistent. He turned around and saw her serious expression, which didn't seem like she was joking with Qi Xia. He pinched his chin and thought for a while, "Then you can buy me a cup of milk tea."

"..."

Qi Xia said that for a young lady, a cup of milk tea was just a splash of water. But when he finished speaking, he waited for a long time but didn't see any response from Xia Xinran. He lowered his head and saw that Xia Xinran was frowning, as if she was thinking about something seriously.

She looked at Qi Xia's clothes, and her snow lotus-like pure cheeks actually showed a rare hint of peach-like blush. She seemed to have discovered something, but was uncertain and frowned slightly. But soon, she suddenly came to her senses.

"You, what did you say... milk, milk tea? Okay, I see. You are from the class next door, right? I remember your name is Qi Xia, I have some impression of you. Okay, I will buy you a cup of milk tea at noon."

As she said this, as if to hide her embarrassment, she turned her head, left Qi Xia behind and walked into the classroom, leaving Qi Xia standing alone at the door, confused.

"What's wrong with her? She looked like she had something else to say just now."

After being laughed at by others for a long time, Qi Xia went back, but this also made Qi Xia realize once again that he really couldn't get along with a young lady like Xia Xinran who had a fickle mind. He still preferred girls like his aunt, Xinyao, and Yueran who were simple and easy to understand.

After Qi Xia left, Xia Xinran, who had already hidden in the classroom, looked at his back and breathed a sigh of relief. She was a little confused and a little flustered. She didn't know why she had just lost her composure in front of a boy whom she had only met a few times.

He helped her retrieve the pendant, and she was very grateful to him because it was a token of their good friendship, and to her, it was as important as life.

But even so, she shouldn't have lost her composure like this, just because...

Sitting in her seat, Xia Xinran touched her cheeks which were about to heat up again. She remembered the smell she had just smelled from the boy named Qi Xia, a fiery and rich aroma like a sunflower, so similar to the smell in her memory, except that it was much stronger and more mature. It made her head a little dizzy, which caused her to lose control of her emotions for a while.

She almost mistook him for that him, but unfortunately, he was not. Although his name was just one word, Xia, like hers, their surnames were different. His surname was not Qi, but Tang. Moreover, he did not have the pendant that matched her and her sister. They had agreed that they would always wear the pendant in the future. In this way, when they wanted to see each other again in the future, she and he would be able to recognize each other at the first time...

Xia Xinran sighed slightly, and regardless of other people's comments, she whispered, "A cup of milk tea... How nice it would be if it was really you..." The ten thousand year old ice had quietly melted a corner...

Chapter 79: School is Over

After the second class in the afternoon, all the courses before the National Day holiday came to an end. After Lao Li assigned homework to everyone, which caused those guys who didn't like to do homework to groan for a while, the long-awaited National Day holiday officially began.

The monitor still had to stay in school for a while, saying that the class committees of each class would have a small meeting after school. Lao Jia, Qiu Shuo and others naturally seized the opportunity to go to the Internet cafe to kill time.

Qi Xia had no plans to go surfing with Lao Jia and the others. After receiving the message from his childhood sweetheart, he sat in his seat for a while, greeted the class monitor, and then got up and went to the corridor where people were still coming and going.

There were still many students in the corridor walking towards the exit in groups of three or four. After a month of hard work, the long-awaited National Day holiday finally arrived. Qi Xia could feel that the atmosphere in the school seemed to have become much more relaxed and cheerful.

Xinyao said she would come to find Qi Xia later and go home with Qi Xia after school. Qi Xia stood alone in the corridor for a while, greeted acquaintances passing by, and then browsed his phone alone for a while.

Qi Xia pulled the collar of his sweater, which was a little tight because it was a new sweater that his aunt had recently knitted for him.

Freshly knitted sweaters all reveal a unique scent of new clothes. Although new sweaters are not as comfortable to wear as old sweaters, they are indeed much better in keeping warm.

Qi Xia has been wearing sweaters made by his aunt since he was a child. Since he just moved in with his aunt, his aunt would use her dexterous hands to knit two warm and beautiful sweaters for Qi Xia every year.

My aunt is very skillful. The sweaters she knitted for Qi Xia were always the right ones. Both the styles and patterns were particularly in line with the fashion trends of the year, which made Qi Xia love them very much. Unfortunately, after going to college and living separately from my aunt, Qi Xia had a large box of towels and scarves knitted by my aunt at the beginning, but gradually she couldn't find them. Until after graduation and living with Yue Ran, she couldn't find any of them.

In Qi Xia's memory, his aunt was the first woman who was willing to knit a sweater for him. When another woman was willing to knit a sweater for him, and he once again wore the sweater that only someone who truly loved him would put her care and love into every stitch, Qi Xia could only talk about his sweaters in detail as he watched his girlfriend knitting a sweater for him with her red, frozen hands raised under the heater.

The sweater that Qi Xia remembers most vividly is the first sweater his aunt knitted for him when he was a child. Because it was a sweater embroidered with flowers in red wool, little Qi Xia thought it was for girls to wear. It was not until his aunt coaxed him for a long time that he reluctantly put it on. The flowers could not be seen under his coat. He remembered that when he put on the sweater his aunt made for him that day and went out to play snowball fights with Xinyao and the others, his hands were no longer cold.

The last sweater he received was given to him by Yue Ran, just before he and she separated. However, Qi Xia never had the chance to wear it because he and Yue Ran committed suicide together in the end.

Qi Xia pulled the corner of his mouth. When he put on the sweater made by his aunt again, he only felt a warmth, as if the soft hands of his aunt in his memory were gently stroking him. He felt so comfortable that he wanted to close his eyes.

After waiting in the corridor for a while, when he smelled the scent of lavender from beside him, Qi Xia's eyes were covered by a pair of soft hands. He heard his childhood sweetheart pinching her throat and asking in Qi Xia's ear, "Guess who I am?"

His ears were tickled by the girl's breathing and he couldn't help laughing. He skillfully patted the girl's soft hand and told her her identity. The girl let go of his hand as if she was satisfied that Qi Xia could guess her identity.

"Hehe, Xiaoxia, are you impatient?"

The sweet and charming figure in front of him was swaying her slender and lovely waist, calling him in the same coquettish voice as in his memory.

Qi Xia looked at his childhood sweetheart in front of him. The girl was still the same as he remembered, like a new bride. Even when she came to Qi Xia's side, her bright face was still red.

"Xiao Xia, what are you looking at?"

Seeing that Qi Xia was just looking at her, Jiang Xinyao, with a blushing face, moved a little closer to Qi Xia, and the pleasant lavender scent went straight into Qi Xia's nose. Today, Qingmei was wearing a light-colored sailor suit, and her thick black hair was draped behind her, making the girl attract everyone's attention at this moment.

However, I don’t know if the girl did it on purpose, but from Qi Xia’s perspective, his eyes could just follow the girl’s collar and see something that no one else could see.

There was a beautiful lace edge on the sailor suit that Jiang Xinyao was wearing, and a black tight underwear could be seen inside the exquisite neckline. The girl's slender figure was as slender and light as a willow swaying in the wind, but what was inconsistent with her slenderness was the girl's chest that was so bulging that it couldn't be bulgier anymore under the tight underwear. The bulging feeling was very tempting. Below her thin waist was a long skirt, and even though it was covered, one could seem to feel the roundness under the dress.

But none of this matters. The most eye-catching thing is the girl's pair of well-proportioned and slender legs. My childhood sweetheart is wearing a pair of snow-white tights today. The ultra-thin white stockings fit well against the girl's smooth and delicate skin, giving her a slightly cool and transparent feeling, as if they have some kind of vitality, reflecting an alluring luster in the sun.

"Look at the news. Has your class teacher explained everything to you?"

Qi Xia's attention was attracted by the girl's outfit today for a moment, and his eyes could not help but fall on the beautiful legs of his childhood sweetheart. The girl's legs were very healthy, and the extremely elastic white fabric was stretched out, and a little rosy flesh color could be seen faintly showing through it.

"Well! Now that we have explained everything, let's go home together, Xiao Xia."

The girl's soft fingers climbed up Qi Xia's fingertips, and while Qi Xia was distracted, she stretched her fingers between Qi Xia's fingers and intertwined theirs. Feeling the sudden warmth, Qi Xia looked at Qingmei beside him calmly.

He has been accustomed to it. It was like this when he was dating his childhood sweetheart in the first year of high school. His childhood sweetheart just likes to take advantage of the situation like this. If you touch her hand a little, she will not be able to help but put her soft little hand in your palm. If you can't help but hug her, she will try every means to put her whole body into your arms.

But she is her childhood sweetheart after all, and this kind of unreasonable temper can also reflect her cuteness, so Qi Xia naturally let her do as she pleases. He also guessed that although he had agreed yesterday to give him some time to think about their relationship, his childhood sweetheart obviously forgot what she said the moment she said it.

Chapter 80 Nostalgia

The air in the afternoon is filled with a gentle scent. Because school ends early to make it convenient for boarding students to go home, the slanting sunlight is still very bright, shining on the busy streets, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

The spicy hot pot stall on the roadside was emitting the aroma of sauce. A child in a sweater was holding the hand of his mother beside him, drooling as he looked at the various ingredients in the pot. He anxiously asked his mother to buy some to take home so he could taste the flavor.

Qi Xia was still riding his own bicycle, but on the back seat there was his childhood sweetheart, just like last night. On the busy street, the boy rode the bicycle neither fast nor slow, and the girl behind him did not seem to want to urge him at all. She just put her arms around the boy's waist and rested her soft forehead on his back, leaving only her big, shining eyes to secretly observe the passers-by on the roadside.

The light red tiles on the ground reflected the bright yellow sunlight. The aroma of various foods from the roadside stalls mixed together, making passers-by feel dizzy. As it was still early, there was nothing to do if they went back, and his aunt was still in the dance studio. Qi Xia did not think of going home directly with Qingmei. Instead, he took her on a short detour and took a stroll in the environment he was familiar with.

Although several days had passed since his rebirth, he had lived here for more than ten years after all. Seeing those scenes that had left countless colors and memories in Qi Xia's mind still added a sense of novelty and nostalgia.

"Xinyao, do you still remember that place? It was the game hall that the old Tan family used to run."

Passing by a roadside store that had long been closed, Qi Xia pointed to the faded sign that looked abandoned. He still remembered that the old Tan family's game hall used to be opened in this place, but due to the passage of time and poor management, it became a store.

"Hehe, of course I remember. We used to come here to play after school in elementary school. It's a pity that I'm not good at playing games, so Xiao Xia always bullied me."

After hearing Qi Xia's words, Jiang Xinyao also raised her head and looked in the direction of Qi Xia's finger. She seemed to have remembered the past times, and a look of nostalgia appeared on her pretty face. But she suddenly turned her head and looked at Xiao Xia in front of her, and her bright eyes suddenly became a little absent-minded.

Speaking of Lao Tan's game hall, she couldn't help but think of Xiao Xia when she was in elementary school. She still remembered that Xiao Xia was particularly obsessed with a game in the game hall, so she always pestered her to play with her after school every day.

When playing games, Xiao Xia would always lean his face towards her, because that game was a two-player game that required cooperation. She could see Xiao Xia's somewhat immature but very handsome face, his long breath, his clear eyes, but always burning with a very vigorous vitality. Whenever she saw Xiao Xia like that, her heart would beat fast. Fortunately, she didn't understand it at that time, otherwise she would definitely do something impulsive to Xiao Xia.

The girl's face turned red. Although Xiao Xia was very cute when he was a child, Xiao Xia now is no worse. She looked at Xiao Xia riding a bike, his increasingly mature cheeks and his hair that seemed a little longer than before. She couldn't help laughing, revealing a row of neat, white and cute teeth.

The bicycle moved forward a lot, but after a while, it stopped in front of a cake shop. Qi Xia looked at the closed door of the cake shop, and Jiang Xinyao, who was curious about why Xiao Xia suddenly stopped, also looked over.

It was a very nicely decorated cake shop. Various cake moulds could be vaguely seen in the transparent window. The color of the cream and the exquisite shapes of the cake moulds made people salivate. The girl remembered that this was where Xiao Xia had worked during the summer vacation.

"Xinyao, what birthday present do you want this year?"

Qi Xia suddenly said, and after taking a look at the familiar decoration of the cake shop, he turned his head and asked the girl behind him.

He used to work in this cake shop, because when he was about to graduate from the third year of junior high school, the boys in his class who were good friends with him all said that they would go out to work during the summer vacation to buy themselves a new cell phone. They also asked Qi Xia to join them, saying that working during the summer vacation was a symbol of self-reliance. So during the summer vacation when he was promoted to the first year of high school that year, he was bewitched and impulsively came here to work for two months without telling his aunt and Xinyao.

It was a very magical experience. Even for Qi Xia now, those two months of life still seem like a dream.

The owner of the cake shop is a very nice person. Not only is she skillful and can make all kinds of delicious cakes, but most importantly, she is also very beautiful. She takes great care of Zeng Qi Xia, just like a mother.

The proprietress's surname is Yin, and her name is Wanyu. In Qi Xia's memory, the proprietress always wore a dignified and beautiful moon-white cheongsam. The beautiful cheongsam was always embellished with plain white peony flowers. The slit of the cheongsam was not high, and the flesh-colored stockings that were faintly revealed from time to time always inadvertently aroused other people's hearts. Her bun wrapped with a hairpin always fell and trembled with her light steps. The hands pressing the cake mold were round and plump. When she looked at Qi Xia, her thin lips slightly opened, and she smiled lightly, revealing her porcelain-white and smooth teeth, with a vivid and elegant beauty.

Qi Xia still remembers that when he saw the cake shop's job notice, he went to the shop to apply without hesitation.

The proprietress looked at his blushing face with a surprised expression, because the job notice clearly stated that they were looking for girls who were dexterous and could make cakes, not boys like Qi Xia. Qi Xia originally thought there was no hope, but in the end she seemed to have thought about it and decided to hire Qi Xia and make him a waiter in the cake shop.

Qi Xia used to be clumsy, and when he first came to the cake shop he was always causing trouble and making a lot of jokes. But in his memory, the proprietress always carefully helped him correct his mistakes, told him what to do, and encouraged Qi Xia, so that Qi Xia, who once wanted to give up, kept doing it to the end.

Every time when Qi Xia came late because she wanted to hide it from her aunt and missed the busiest time in the morning, the proprietress would always scold her and poke Qi Xia's forehead with her fingertips that had a faint fragrance. The smile between her eyebrows was as beautiful as the peony flowers on her cheongsam.

In Qi Xia's memory, apart from his mother and aunt, the beautiful proprietress should be the most gentle and generous woman in Qi Xia's impression.

The premise is that you don't care that she will always try her best to make Qi Xia call her mom...

Chapter 81 Acting

Qi Xia didn't know the age of the proprietress. After all, it was not polite to ask a woman's age. But Qi Xia estimated that the proprietress should be a few years older than his aunt, because that kind of heart-beating maturity and gentleness took time to accumulate.

Qi Xia had worked in the cake shop for a long time. Except for the summer vacation in the third year of junior high school, the summer vacation in the first and second year of high school and some holidays, Qi Xia would occasionally go to the cake shop to help out. Although from time to time she would hear customers who seemed to be familiar with the proprietress urging her that she had reached the age to get married and it was time to find a partner, the proprietress in her memory seemed to still be alone until Qi Xia graduated from high school and entered university.

Perhaps because he is born with a bad tongue, Qi Xia is not very good at evaluating a person. But if it is the boss lady who once took such good care of him, Qi Xia can give an evaluation that he is more convinced of, which is - Sister Wanyu is a person who is very suitable to be a mother.

Qi Xia's evaluation is certainly not groundless, but is his personal experience after getting along with Sister Wanyu for such a long time. Because until now, Qi Xia seems to have never seen a woman like Sister Wanyu, who is full of maternal radiance from head to toe.

The sister Wanyu in his memory was really a very gentle and virtuous woman. In Qi Xia's impression, perhaps the only one who could compare with her in terms of gentleness and virtuousness was the aunt in his memory when he was engaged to Yue Ran.
