Modern Chapter 4
Qiu Che saw Li Qingwu leaving.
But soon, when the flow of people in the store began to decrease, Qiu Che saw a brand new packed lunch box in front of him.
Looking up, she happened to see Li Qingwu standing in front of the stage, looking at her with a clear smile: "Did you not eat, Teacher Qiu?"
Qiu Che was silent, and his mood that had been a little depressed suddenly improved a lot.
"Did you do it?"
Li Qingwu looked at her inexplicably.
"What are you thinking about? I don't know how to cook. I bought the famous pig's trotter rice from the restaurant I turned left when I left."
"I heard it's delicious, but I haven't tasted it. Please eat it first. While there are few people around now, Eat quickly."
Qiu Che:.
Okay, it's all a piece of mind, she doesn't have to choose.
Then I saw the new employee on the side came over eagerly, took a sip of the fragrance, and salivated with greed: "Sister Qiu, is this your sister? It tastes good... ah no, it looks good."
Qiu Che just opened his mouth.
Li Qingwu smiled and took out another bag of lunch boxes and said, "Thank you, I know you haven't eaten either. This one is for you."
Qiu Che: ...
Well, the meal is not just for you.
The young employee next to him was suddenly moved to tears: "Sister, you are so kind! What is your name? My surname is Wang. Next time you come for coffee, I will treat you..."
"Is the coffee for guest No. 178 ready? ?" Qiu Che spoke abruptly, interrupting the other party's tirade.
The little employee was stunned for a moment: "Oh, not yet."
"Then eat quickly."
The little employee also knew who took advantage of him to get this meal. Hearing this, he quickly said: "Okay, okay."
Li Qingwu After they left, he smiled and said to Qiu Che, "Why are you, Teacher Qiu, jealous when you see me delivering food to others?"
Qiu Che subconsciously glanced in the direction behind her.
Yaotai was still sitting there cooking without knowing that Li Qingwu was back.
She pressed it against the roof of her mouth and said nothing.
It was none of her business that Li Qingwu gave it to whomever he liked.
But Li Qingwu came over, with a light voice, and whispered: "Don't worry, I like Teacher Qiu the most. I added an extra big chicken drumstick to yours - eat it."
Qiu Che: "..."
Li Qingwu has been sitting in the coffee I painted in the hall and waited until it was almost dark before I collected my things and waited outside the store, quite consciously -
letting Qiu Che hallucinate the scene of an open class in the classroom.
"Do you get off work so late every day?"
Qiu Che had already changed into his private clothes and walked slightly in front of Li Qingwu. Wen Yan
said: "Well, the store is busy, but sometimes we have holidays during the holidays."
"It's too hard." Li Qingwu said softly, "You are already a university professor, why do you still have to work part-time?"
An ordinary professor's monthly salary There are also five to six thousand a month, not to mention a professor like Qiu Che who is quite famous at a young age?
How could I be reduced to having to work part-time to make money?
"No money."
Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to Ms. Xu's request to be a tutor even though he was so busy.
Li Qingwu: "...Yes, are there any difficulties at home?"
She asked tactfully, but Qiu Che glanced at her and said in a calm tone, "Well, forget it. My cheap dad has a debt abroad, and I will help him pay it off. "
Li Qingwu didn't know for a moment whether she was joking or if it was true.
If it was true, why did Qiu Che look so calm?
She teased: "Then why don't you consider letting me support you? I am least short of money."
Qiu Che said: "I'm afraid that you will lose all your wealth, and then you will beg for food on the street with me." He
was joking with her.
Li Qingwu felt that this was a good sign, which meant that Qiu Che actually recognized her in his heart, otherwise he would not have spoken in such a relaxed tone.
The two walked for a while and came to the place where they took a taxi.
Qiu Che suddenly said: "That girl, is your friend?"
Li Qingwu slowly realized who she was talking about: "Yes. What's wrong?"
Qiu Che said nothing.
She thought she was probably crazy, otherwise why would she want Li Qingwu to keep a distance from the other party for a moment.
Not to mention that they are not a couple yet, Qiu Che has no right to interfere with her behavior. Even if they really have something going on, she can't interfere with the other person's right to make friends.
Qiu Che was a little irritable.
She has always known clearly what kind of person she is. Due to the influence of her childhood family, she has some pathological desire to control the people around her. She is okay with her friends and relatives, but she cannot compromise on the relationship of "lover" and is possessive. Extremely strong.
She knew this was not a good habit and had always restrained it. Therefore, for so many years, she never had a relationship, let alone a partner, because she was afraid of delaying others.
But this desire for control by superiors can be alleviated a lot by the teaching profession.
At present, because Li Qingwu frequently appeared in front of her, there was a vague tendency to relapse.
Qiu Che, who got on the bus and drove away, calmly watched Li Qingwu waving goodbye to him, then lowered his head again, hiding his eyes under the gold-rimmed glasses.
She regretted letting Li Qingwu get close to her.
After that day, Li Qingwu didn't see each other again for a long time.
When I went to the school to ask, I only got the answer that the other party had been feeling unwell recently and had taken a sick leave.
Li Qingwuâs text messages of concern all fell into disarray, with no reply.
On October 2nd, the National Day holiday, Li Qingwuâs high school classmates organized a class reunion near J University. Everyone wanted Li Qingwu, the class beauty in high school, to go.
When Li Qingwu was a teenager, he had a good relationship with everyone, so he couldn't refuse, so he went anyway.
Demons danced wildly in the bar, and colorful lights floated overhead.
Most of the people were already playing a drinking game with each other, and the atmosphere was hot. Only Li Qingwu went to the bar alone with a wine glass.
Faced with everyone's concern, he just smiled, a little absent-mindedly, and sipped his wine one after another.
The cell phone in her middle pocket rang, and she immediately took it out and took a look.
Qiu Che, who had not heard from her for several days, only replied one sentence under her text messages: Where are you?
Li Qingwu's eyes lit up.
In fact, she was a little angry, after all, Qiu Che had ignored her for so many days.
But what if something happens?
Li Qingwu still followed his heart and replied: xx bar.
What else did she want to ask, but on the other side, a boy who was well known in the class and pursued Li Qingwu in high school sat over, "Qingwu, what's the matter? I see you have been looking at your phone since you came in. Where are you?" Are you feeling uncomfortable? "
He still looked good-looking in high school, but now his face is pockmarked, he is bald before he gets old, and he is as thin as a thin pole.
I donât know where I got the courage to strike up a conversation with Li Qingwu.
Li Qingwu didn't judge people by their appearance. In fact, this suitor had a criminal record. In order to show his deep affection for Li Qingwu, he once read a love letter to her in front of a bunch of people, forcing her to agree, otherwise he would tell her family that she was in love early.
If her damn father hadn't already died at that time, and Ms. Xu, the baby mother, was in charge and forcefully stated that Li Qingwu couldn't fall in love early and wanted him to apologize and transfer to another school, Li Qingwu would have been drowned in gossip.
Unexpectedly, I donât know who invited him to this class reunion.
As soon as he saw him coming, Li Qingwu's expression immediately faded.
She put away her phone and said, "Thank you for your concern, but it has nothing to do with you."
The man's expression changed, but he still held it back and raised his glass to toast her, "... After all, it's a classmate, don't be so disrespectful. "I heard you went to graduate school?"
Li Qingwu looked around and saw no room around him, so he had to stop and was about to get up and leave the bar: "...Well"
"Oh, woman, it would be great to go to college." What are you still going to graduate school for? Be careful not to get married in the future. I heard that you donât have a boyfriend yet? What do you think of me?"
Li Qingwu endured the disgust of seeing his pockmarked face and said calmly: "Not so much. Like - I advise you to stay away from me, I feel disgusted."
The man was a little angry: "Why don't you drink a toast instead of a fine drink? A woman like you is too strong, otherwise why haven't you done it now? Get married? I mean well. Although I am poor, I don't dislike you. You know, I liked you before. You won't suffer if you follow me..."
As he said that, the man reached out to catch Li Qingwu.
Li Qingwu stood up suddenly, but before she could do anything, a figure passed by like the wind and reached out to grab her wrist.
Li Qingwu was startled, and then he saw the person who was coming raised his leg and kicked the man.
This kick was quite neat, and the man immediately let out a cry, so painful that he could not speak.
It was raining outside, and Qiu Che's windbreaker was also stained with rainwater. As she raised and retracted her legs, she drew a curve in the air, and the raindrops fell to the ground.
Qiu Che's face turned a little imperceptibly pale, and his expression was cold and stern: "She told you to get away, can't you hear me?"
Then when the bar was full of people, he walked straight out of the crowd with Li Qingwu.
As soon as they went out, the two of them stopped and spoke at the same time.
Qiu Che: "Are you okay?"
Li Qingwu: "Why did you come here suddenly?"
The two of them were silent for a while, and Li Qingwu said: "I'm okay, I'm more worried about the one inside."
Qiu Che is so poor, he has to pay for medical expenses What to do if.
Qiu Che seemed to want to laugh, and tugged at the corner of his lips, but did not laugh: "Are you still worried about him... I just kicked him, it only hurt, and nothing else happened. Why don't you explain first, why are you doing this? Are you here alone?"
Li Qingwu frowned, a little angry: "I want to ask you, why haven't you replied to my messages these days?"
Qiu Che looked at her and said in a subtle tone: "The person being pursued is not. Isn't it normal to reply to a suitor's message?"
Li Qingwu was stunned.
She bit her lip, clenched and unclenched her fists, and couldn't find anything to say to refute.
Soon, Qiu Che let go of her hand and leaned slightly against the wall next to her.
There was a drizzle falling outside the bar. Although only a few strands reached his shoulders, Li Qingwu felt an inexplicable chill in his heart.
But then, she saw Qiu Che suppress his somewhat cold smile, lowered his head, and said, "I'm sorry."
Li Qingwu was stunned again.
What is this for?
Qiu Che said, "I regret that I refused to reply to your message."
Li Qingwu suddenly noticed that her shoulders seemed to be shaking slightly.
Take a closer look... there's still a bit of blood left?
It's just that the coat is black, so it's hard to tell.
Her expression changed drastically: "What is this? What happened...Why are you injured?"
Qiu Che once again grabbed her hand that was reaching for her shoulder.
He smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. It's just that my cheap dad lost all his money from gambling, then ran away and sold me to a loan shark. We had a fight while running away and was stabbed in the shoulder by a glass bottle."
Li Qingwu's face turned pale . : "...It's not a big deal? Follow me to the hospital and hurry up!"
"Wait a minute."
Qiu Che said slowly: "As you can see, I am a person without a home now."
"If the lawsuit is not filed, If it goes well, I might have to repay my father's debt. "Are
you sure you want to continue pursuing me?"
Li Qingwu thought for a moment.
She shook her head.
Qiu Che stiffened.
Her face, which was already half white due to blood loss, turned pale again.
Although she had been prepared, the moment she heard the answer, she still couldn't hold back the sadness that filled her heart.
No one would choose her.
This truth is as simple as no one would choose a mature wolf that may go crazy at any time.
What's more, she has nothing now.
But Li Qingwu didn't leave.
She stood in front of Qiu Che, looked at her steadily, and said with a serious expression: "I have decided that I will not pursue you anymore."
"I want to support you."
Haoduobao said that it is unreasonable for a professor to have a part-time job, but if he is short of money What can't you do? You can do anything.
