What's wrong with me?

Chapter 269 Gift
"I have always had a cousin, but she had been studying at my mother's school before, and only transferred back here now."
Qi Xia followed the direction of the voice and looked at the squad leader beside him. He hadn't seen him for seven days during the holiday, and the squad leader was still exactly the same as before the holiday.
She was wearing a slightly faded school uniform and a pair of black-framed glasses that looked particularly rustic. But if you looked closely, and looked past the deliberate concealment, you could still glimpse a little of her class monitor's beauty hidden beneath the large lenses, her fair and moist skin, and her particularly rosy lips with a charming luster.
When he heard the squad leader's voice, Old Jia, who had just been so high-spirited and shouting at Qi Xia without any fear, immediately became timid. He no longer cared about his face and quickly retracted his neck, trying his best to make himself a transparent person with no sense of existence.
You can't blame him for being timid. After all, the squad leader said so. If he really dares to argue with the squad leader again, I'm afraid the squad leader will really report him to Lao Li.
Don't think that the monitor always seems to be in a good mood in front of Lao Xia, and always blushes and feels his heart beats fast when Lao Xia teases him, as if he is being controlled by Lao Xia. But that's because Lao Xia has good grades and always helps the monitor with his studies. Maybe the monitor has some other ideas about Lao Xia, after all, Lao Xia is so handsome. But he knows clearly that the monitor will not tolerate these boys who have poor grades and always cause trouble for her.
It would be fine if she always found fault with them for no reason, but the class monitor said he would tell the teacher and he would really tell on Mr. Li, otherwise these boys would feel as if they were facing a great enemy every time they heard the class monitor speak. But they couldn't do anything about the class monitor, and could only comfort themselves by saying that a good man doesn't fight with a girl.
Old Jia had been worried, but after listening to Qi Xia's words, he suddenly became interested again. Although he had been sitting at the same table with Old Xia for so many years, he seemed to have never heard that Old Xia had a younger sister.
"But I've never heard you mention this before, Old Xia. How is your sister? What grade is she in? Is she also in the third year of high school? Is she pretty? When will you introduce her to everyone? Maybe I can find a brother-in-law for you, Old Xia."
Qi Xia narrowed his eyes and looked at his deskmate with some disgust. He was not worried about Xiao Wu getting to know Lao Jia and the others. After all, with Xiao Wu's perspective, she would definitely look down on Lao Jia and his group. He was just worried that if Xiao Wu really got to know his group of bad friends, his image, which was already very little left in Xiao Wu's mind, would be completely ruined.
"Go away, what are you thinking about? Xiao Wu is only a sophomore this year, and there are some conflicts between Xiao Wu and me. She may have some opinions about me, so don't think about it."
Qi Xia waved his hand in disdain and pushed away Lao Jia's hand that was on his arm. When he heard Lao Jia asking him if Xiao Wu was pretty, Qi Xia couldn't help but think of the aloof and cold Xiao Wu who used to be a lawyer.
That gorgeous and solemn long dress, coupled with beautiful and strong long-heeled high heels, was once rated as one of the most representative young women in the country, which is enough to prove Xiao Wu's charm.
Jia Shuai was a little surprised. In his opinion, it was really surprising that Lao Xia's sister would have a conflict with Lao Xia. But from what Lao Xia said, it must be because of some special reasons. Since it was Lao Xia's family matter, he didn't ask and continued to catch up on his homework.
The monitor didn't ask any more questions. He just glanced at Qi Xia with some ambiguous eyes and sat back in his seat, leaving Qi Xia with that pretty back view. Qi Xia couldn't help but feel a little strange.
That's not right. Why is the monitor so quiet today? If it were the monitor in my memory, he would have been clamoring to check his homework by now.
"Class monitor, did you have fun during the holiday? Where did you go?"
He poked the monitor's waist with the pen cap, but he didn't know if he had poked some strange switch in the monitor. Before he finished speaking, the monitor's snow-white neck with his back to him suddenly turned red, as if covered with a layer of graceful red glow.
The squad leader turned around, but his face under the frame was clearly red, and his crimson skin seemed to be dripping with water, leaving Qi Xia very confused.
He only saw the squad leader glaring at Qi Xia with an extremely "ferocious" look as if he wanted to tear two pieces of flesh off his body, and then he saw the squad leader take something out of his pocket and throw it on his desk.
"Why are you rushing me? This is the blue color you wanted. It's what you wanted anyway. Don't blame me if it looks good or not!"
The monitor's small, snow-white nose twitched slightly, and his neat, white teeth were revealed between his parted lips. He showed a look of disdain towards Qi Xia, perhaps because he was too shy. After saying that, the monitor turned around anxiously and didn't want to pay any attention to Qi Xia anymore.
Qi Xia was a little confused by the squad leader's reaction. He didn't understand what was going on until the squad leader ignored him. He lowered his head and saw what the squad leader had just thrown to him.
What the squad leader threw to him was a blue sachet decorated with colorful tassels. The word "blessing" was neatly embroidered on the main body of the sachet with golden silk thread. It can be seen that this sachet should have been made by a beginner and not bought from the market, because the stitches of the sachet were not hidden at all and the embroidered words were a little crooked. From other people's eyes, the appearance of this sachet was indeed not very good.
It was not until then that Qi Xia suddenly remembered that the squad leader had asked him what color he liked two days ago. At that time, he thought that the squad leader might want to bring him some souvenirs, but he didn't expect it to be a sachet.
He held the sachet carefully in his hand. Although it was no longer a trend for boys and girls to give sachet as gifts, Qi Xia felt that the slightly "simple" sachet in front of him was particularly heavy and substantial.
He is not stupid. He can tell that the sachet was made by the squad leader himself. Otherwise, if it is made with such workmanship, how dare he sell it? He would probably give money to others but no one would want it. Although the appearance is not very good, this small sachet is really full of the squad leader's love.
He once lost everything and had no friends around him except Yue Ran and his aunt. Not to mention that no one would remember to bring him gifts. But now, he still has it all.
"Thank you, monitor. I like it very much. I will keep it well."
Qi Xia picked up the sachet, looked at it left and right, and finally hung it on his mobile phone case. Although it didn't match the color of the phone, it looked very pleasing to Qi Xia's eyes.
The squad leader did not turn around, but the snow-white neck that was facing away from Qi Xia became a little more rosy unconsciously. It was not until half a day later that Qi Xia heard the squad leader reply to him in an inaudible voice: "As long as you like it..."
Chapter 270 Stupid
Qi Xia always likes the early morning time, not only because it is the beginning of the day, but also because in the soft morning light, listening to the sounds of reading from time to time, always makes Qi Xia feel a sense of youthful joy.
Because it was the first day of school, although many people had already come to the classroom, most of the students were lying on their seats with their eyes slightly closed. This seemed to be a scene unique to the third year of high school. In Qi Xia's memory, it seemed that on every first day after vacation, he could see his classmates catching up on their sleep in unison. Even during the ten-minute break, the classroom was very quiet.
Maybe it was because he was too thin-skinned. Ever since he handed the sachet to Qi Xia, no matter how much Qi Xia tried to bring up the topic, the monitor blushed and had no intention of remembering him at all.
Seeing that the time was almost up, the responsible class monitor stood up and anxiously went door to door to collect the homework. However, listening to the boys in the class wailing more miserably than usual, and looking at the class monitor who seemed even more anxious than usual, it was unclear whether the class monitor was being responsible or was anxious to avoid Qi Xia.
After all, the National Day holiday is a very long one, so there is naturally not a lot of homework to do. Although Lao Jia relies on the fact that he and Qi Xia are deskmates and can get the priority right to "reference", more than ten test papers are still not something that can be completed in such a short time.
Old Jia was still writing furiously, and the squad leader avoided Qi Xia from a distance, sitting alone in his seat. After a while, Qi Xia felt a little bored. Although he had gradually adapted to the life after his rebirth, fundamentally, he was no longer the young man who had nothing to think about and had experienced nothing.
Once he calms down, his mind becomes wandering and many things emerge in his mind. He remembers every little thing he had experienced with his girlfriend, and the things that happened when Hou Xinyao and Xiaowu were together as children. But perhaps because his aunt occupies the largest position in Qi Xia's heart now, Qi Xia's thoughts soon focused on his aunt.
During this short seven-day vacation, in which so many things happened that were so fresh in Qi Xia's memory, Qi Xia always couldn't help but think about a question in his free time: what kind of relationship does he have now with his aunt?
If it were in the past, Qi Xia would have answered without hesitation that they must be relatives, because he was his aunt's nephew, and his aunt was the one he loved the most and was most attached to. But now Qi Xia no longer had an answer.
Are he and his aunt relatives? Of course they are. After all, the relationship between him and his aunt is like this. It is undeniable and cannot be severed. However, after what happened in the bathroom that night, this relationship has quietly changed. Even if it is late, it has been noticed.
Auntie still loves and tolerates him so much, but I don’t know when it started, maybe it was when she came back from the trip to Annan, her favor for him has gone beyond the line. Not to mention that her physical contact with him has become more frequent, she always sleeps with him at night. That night in the bathroom, Qi Xia was in her aunt’s arms, being pampered and indulged by her, and he made the transformation from an explorer to a thinker. The charm and tenderness in her aunt’s eyes, like petals, even now Qi Xia still remembers it clearly and cannot forget it.
Some things are destined not to be allowed, but the more things are not allowed, the more they seem to have an extraordinary attraction, making people unable to help but sink into them, just like him now, addicted to the tenderness and beauty of his aunt, and unable to extricate himself.
Sometimes Qi Xia always felt that he was a despicable and greedy guy, because he had only been away from Yue Ran for such a long time, but he had already reunited with Xin Yao, and his relationship with his aunt had become what it is now, which is unclear.
I remember that my mother once said to him that he was a fool who didn't understand women's hearts, and asked him to be careful when dating girls. But he used to scoff at what his mother said because he pursued Yue Ran on his own.
But now it seems that what my mother said was absolutely correct. After so many years, he has not made any progress. Not only did he not understand Yue Ran, which caused Yue Ran to commit suicide with him, but now he can't even figure out the relationship between himself and his aunt, and can only passively accept it all.
"Old Jia, let me ask you something. If you have a relative who suddenly loves you very much, even to the point of crossing the line, and you also like this relative very much, what would you do?"
Qi Xia suddenly asked casually. He didn't really expect to get any useful opinions or suggestions from Lao Jia. He just wanted to talk to someone and relieve the confusion in his heart.
"No matter how much you love them, they are still your family. Old Xia, why do you suddenly ask such a question? What happened?"
Old Jia raised his head and looked at him, seeming a little puzzled as to why Qi Xia would suddenly ask him such a strange topic.
"Nothing, just asking. A friend of mine recently encountered a similar situation and asked me what to do. I haven't figured out how to reply him, so I asked you by the way."
Listening to Qi Xia's words, Lao Jia glanced at him suspiciously and asked, "Lao Xia, the friend you are talking about is not you, right?"
"Go, go, go, what are you thinking about? I already said it was a friend who asked."
Qi Xia waved his hands and told Lao Jia to do what he was supposed to do, looking as if he didn't care. However, his heart couldn't help but beat rapidly. How could he have the nerve to say that this was really his business? He couldn't say it out loud, so he could only perfunctorily deal with it and ignore Lao Jia.
Qi Xia picked up a book and spread it out in front of him, wanting to find something to do. He raised his head and saw Liu Ziyi seemed to be looking at him. He looked over and saw the girl quickly looked away, lowered her head shyly and continued reading.
Qi Xia couldn't help but smile, as he seemed to have a better understanding of the shy character of his "colleague" who was always on duty with him. He touched his handbag, wanting to take out all the books inside, but suddenly he found that there were still two of Xiao Wu's books in his handbag. Maybe they had separated in such a hurry just now that he forgot to give them to her.
Thinking that he was a little worried about Xiaowu and Yaoyao, he could go over to see how they were doing while delivering the books. Then Qi Xia said something to Lao Jia, got up and left the classroom.
Chapter 271 Undercurrent
Because Qi Xia's senior year and sophomore year were not in the same teaching building, in order to get to where Xiao Wu was, they had to pass through the large playground in the center of the school.
After sitting in the classroom for a while, the huge campus finally became as bustling as before. Although it was still early in the morning, from a distance you could see some boys playing basketball in the basketball court not far away. Judging from their appearance, they were probably first and second year high school students who had not yet experienced the urgency of the third year.
There is a flag-raising ceremony on the playground here every Monday morning. The playground is very large, and even if there are more than a thousand students from all walks of life gathered on this playground, it still doesn't feel crowded.
Qi Xia recalled that when he was in the first and second year of high school, his class monitor was one of the flag bearers of the flag-raising team. So every Monday morning at the morning meeting, he could see the class monitor walking seriously and carrying the national flag to the podium to the music of the flag-raising ceremony. It's a pity that since he was promoted to the third year of high school, the class monitor no longer served as a flag bearer, and even when the flag was being raised, the class monitor never put down her disguise, which was a pity.
The teaching building for the second year of high school is on the other side of the playground. Because it is a new teaching building built by the school later, it looks much cleaner and tidier than the old teaching building where Qi Xia is.
There is a parking lot under the teaching building. Because it is located underground, it has a special feature: it is very cool in the summer. I remember when I was in the second year of high school, whenever the weather was extremely hot, during lunch break, you could see many people running to the garage to escape the heat.
As for the top floor, it was the observatory that Qi Xia remembered most vividly. It had a curved dome and several reflecting astronomical telescopes inside. When Qi Xia was in the second year of high school, the observatory happened to be the sanitation area of Qi Xia's class, so the key to the observatory had always been given to the class monitor for safekeeping. As long as one could borrow the key from the class monitor, one could go up to the observatory openly.
Qi Xia had borrowed it from the squad leader several times, and even went to the observatory with the squad leader to slack off while cleaning at night. Unfortunately, Qi Xia didn't know much about astronomy, and was not used to using those astronomical telescopes. The most he did when he went to the observatory was to look at the night sky and chat.
When seeing the familiar facilities on campus, Qi Xia suddenly realized that it had been more than ten days since he was reborn. However, he still hadn't taken a good look around this place where he had countless precious memories. Before, he brought Xiao Wu to visit, but he only took Xiao Wu to a few places they often went to.
Seeing these scenes, the memories of the past returned to Qi Xia's mind like an old photo album. But before he could express his feelings, he heard the sweet voice of his own daughter from the crowd of people going to school in front of him, as tempting as a delicious glass of iced drink on a hot summer day.
"Xiao Xia, Xiao Xia~ I'm here!"
In the crowd, Qi Xia spotted his childhood sweetheart at a glance. After all, compared to the first and second year high school students around him who still had to wear school uniforms, Qi Xia had the freedom to dress however he wanted. Wearing a white dress, and being so beautiful and lively, of course she stood out very much.
She smiled and waved at Qi Xia, making everyone around them look at this beautiful girl. Seeing that Qi Xia saw him, the girl tiptoed towards Qi Xia, but Qi Xia did not see Xiao Wu next to Qingmei. Did she have resolved the matter and came back?
"Why are you alone, Yaoyao? Where's Xiaowu?"
Maybe it was because the old witch couldn't control her anymore, or maybe it was because of Qi Xia's indulgent attitude. Ever since she got back together with Qi Xia a few days ago, the girl, who used to cover up a little at school, has become more and more arrogant. She dares to hold Qi Xia's hand in the crowd openly, and her attached look makes all the boys around her feel painful - you know, the girl is considered a celebrity in the school, and there are few boys who don't know her. After all, she is one of the strongest contenders for the school belle.
"Xiao Wu has already entered the class. After Xiao Wu and I reported to the Academic Affairs Office, Xiao Wu's head teacher asked me to take Xiao Wu to class. I was planning to stay with Xiao Wu for a while longer, but Xiao Wu said it was not necessary, so she asked me to go back first. Hehe~ I didn't expect to meet Xiao Xia again. Is there something you want to talk to Xiao Wu about?"
The marble floor tiles reflected the bright yellow sunlight, shining on the girl's snow-white skin, making her look particularly charming. She snuggled up to Qi Xia, her bright eyes fixed on Qi Xia, just like when she had just taken the bus with her.
"Well, Xiao Wu left a few books with me and I was just planning to send them to her."
The girl was looking at Xiao Xia in front of her with fascination. Although she had just separated from Xiao Xia not long ago, she seemed as if she had not seen Xiao Xia for a long time and could not stop looking at her.
Snuggling up with Xiao Xia like this in front of everyone's eyes was something the girl hadn't experienced in a long, long time. It was so long that she almost forgot the happiness that she would rather indulge in forever. But fortunately, after experiencing so much pain, she finally got it all back!
"Then I'll go with you, Xiao Xia! This way I can spend more time with Xiao Xia, hehe~"
A charming smile was on her beautiful cheeks. When she heard that Xiao Xia was going to find Xiao Wu, the girl immediately hurried to go with Xiao Xia. She put her fingertips into Xiao Xia's palm, but when she felt the warmth from Xiao Xia, she secretly cursed in her heart.
Perhaps it was because of the topic Xiao Wu brought up in the morning. From the moment she got on the bus until now, some inappropriate thoughts for children would occasionally emerge in the girl's mind.
Yes, she has reconciled with Xiao Xia now, and Dou will even be turning 18 soon. But until now, she has not had the chance to hand herself over completely to Xiao Xia.
I heard from people on the Internet that doing that kind of thing would not only be very comfortable, much more comfortable than comforting herself by thinking about Xiao Xia, but it would also deepen the relationship between her and Xiao Xia. Shouldn't she also think carefully about when to take Xiao Xia away completely?
The girl's face was flushed as she looked at Xiao Xia's extremely pretty face and her pupils that seemed to be glowing with light. Her heart in her full chest was beating rapidly, and she didn't know what she was thinking of.
She touched the skin on her arm. The ugly scar there had gradually disappeared, turning into the snow-white and smooth skin that made people love it. Now that she had reconciled with Xiao Xia, she seemed to no longer need to use this method to make herself forget the pain she had suffered in the past.
"Okay, let's go together. I need your help with something later."
Qi Xia smiled and said, although he was being stared at by many boys and girls, he didn't mind his childhood sweetheart being so intimate with him. He used to dislike the feeling of being stared at in public, but the time he spent with Yue Ran made him more and more accustomed to this feeling.
He held hands with his childhood sweetheart, but he didn't notice that there seemed to be a small commotion in the crowd...
Chapter 272 Arrival
There was a slight chill in the air on an October morning, but the bright sunshine illuminated the school gate in front of the girl, giving her a sense of belonging and intimacy. Looking at the young students constantly coming in and out of the campus, a faint smile appeared on the girl's delicate face.
When the car slowly stopped at the side of the road, the girl couldn't wait to get out of the car. She stepped on the solid road with both feet, raised her snow-white and slender neck, and took a deep breath.
In the refreshing sunshine of the early morning, she seemed to be able to feel a familiar scent permeating the air, very familiar, very sweet, and just smelling it made her heart sway involuntarily, because she knew that he was here, that was his scent that belonged to her, the scent that made her feel at ease and happy.
The breeze blew the girl's hair, making her eyes a little misty. She could feel that every cell in her body was rejoicing, as if she had suddenly come alive. Her soul, which had been tortured by ten years of waiting and was already broken, seemed to have finally come back to life at this moment and began to sprout.
"My dear... wait a little longer, wait a little longer, I will be by your side soon and I will be able to see you."
The girl couldn't help murmuring, with a bright smile on her extremely beautiful face. Perhaps it was because of her beautiful appearance, or perhaps it was because the car behind her was too conspicuous. As soon as she got off the car, she saw many students who seemed to be from this school staring at her.
Although she was being stared at by countless people, the girl seemed to have gotten used to it and did not react at all.
Her gaze did not fall on anyone from beginning to end, as if everything and everyone in front of her were just air and should not exist. Her gaze went straight through the towering gate of the school and fell on a place no one knew, as if she was looking at something in the distance.
"Yueran, shouldn't we report to the Academic Affairs Office first? Woohoo, the National Day holiday is over so soon, and I haven't had enough rest yet, and I have to start my painful prison life again!"
"Miss, do you need me to go with you?"
After the girl couldn't wait to get off the bus, her companions also got off with her. First, it was the girl's best friend who was the same age as the girl. Although it was the first morning of school, she had a look of deep tiredness on her face, just like most students who had to return to school after the holidays, complaining about why the holiday passed so quickly.
The girl's companion was a tall woman wearing a women's suit. She asked the girl questions with a respectful look. Coupled with the woman's smart clothes and appearance, the onlookers on the side could not help but wonder whether the girl in front of them was also a rich lady from some family and even had a bodyguard to see her off when she went out.
The girl withdrew her gaze, frowned slightly, and then turned to look at her best friend beside her.
Because yesterday was the last day of the holiday, Xu Zijin said that he wanted to have some fun before the holiday ended, so he played until very late last night, which even disturbed her rest. She should have gone to bed early last night to conserve her energy and wait for the meeting with him today, but because of Xu Zijin, she also went to bed very late last night.
There was a hint of unhappiness in the depths of her eyes, but because she would be able to see him soon, the girl was in a good mood, so she was too lazy to argue with her best friend. She glanced at Xu Zijin who was staring at the main gate of the school in a daze, and then she looked at the assistant who was accompanying her.
"No need, Liu Hong, you can go back first. I will finish the things I asked you to do when I go to school. You don't need to pick us up at night. Xu Zijin and I will go back by ourselves."
"I understand, miss."
The girl spoke softly, and the woman beside her nodded immediately without any hesitation to the girl's instructions. After receiving the girl's instructions, she turned around and got in the car, then drove away from the girl's sight.
As the vehicle drove away, the girl's mood swayed again, as if dancing gently with the soft breeze. She stood in front of the school gate for a while, not in a hurry to go in, as if she was savoring the feeling of happiness that made her heart and even soul throb slightly.
But the good times didn't last long. Before she had time to feel that feeling more, Xu Zijin beside her asked her again.
"By the way, Yueran, didn't you learn about your husband's class from the principal before? Why didn't you ask him to put both of us in that class? I see that the class you and I transferred to doesn't seem to be the same as his."
Looking at the girl's exquisite and perfect profile, Xu Zijin asked in confusion. Since last night, she could feel how much her best friend was looking forward to the start of school today. Yue Ran, who was usually so serious and smart, but last night she was sitting by the bedroom window, looking out the window and grinning all night long. It was enough to show how much Yue Ran was looking forward to seeing him today.
But what puzzled her was that Yue Ran was so looking forward to seeing him, but in the end she chose a different class from him. Even when she came to the school to familiarize herself with the environment, she found that the class Yue Ran transferred to was a little far away from the classroom he was in, which made her very confused.
She looked at Yue Ran's smiling face and couldn't help but ask, but looking at the vibrant campus in front of her, the face of the boy she met on the road before suddenly appeared in her mind for some reason.
Hearing Xu Zijin's voice, the girl didn't say anything, but she smiled. Her smile was very bright, like an oleander blooming in the sun, beautiful and red, but poisonous.
Of course, it was out of her considerations that she did not transfer to his class. After all, she was not the only one who had obtained those memories. When she saw the letter that Liu Hong brought back and that he had buried in her and his treasure land, she understood that she had to calm down and fight a long battle.
