What should I do if my rival has a crush on me?

"What?" Lin Qingye couldn't hear what Mu Qing was saying clearly for a while, and when Mu Qing repeated the word "like" inarticulately later, he suddenly realized what Mu Qing meant.

Mu Qing's hand was still tightly grasping Lin Qingye's shoulder, his eyes were blurred, but his eyes never moved away from Lin Qingye's body, he gasped and said, "I know you only regard me as a friend, but I'm not reconciled, I don't want to just be your friend, you are right in front of me, but I have to pretend that I don't care about you, don't like you, and even force myself to avoid you, it's too hard."

These words were spoken intermittently, but Lin Qingye heard them clearly.

The heat of a heart gradually cooled down, because Lin Qingye deeply understood that Mu Qing didn't say these words to him, but to Li Qiuxi.

The person Mu Qing has a crush on is Li Qiuxi.

Because of Li Qiuxi, he chose to stay in China to study in high school, and in order to avoid his feelings for Li Qiuxi, he transferred to No. [-] Middle School to study.

It's a pity that feelings are not things that can be controlled if you want to control them. Sometimes the farther you are from them, the more you will miss them, so Mu Qing still thinks about Li Qiuxi even when she has a high fever, and keeps calling Li Qiuxi's name.

"Mu Qing, look carefully, I'm not Li Qiuxi." Lin Qingye let Mu Qing grab his shoulders, Mu Qing's strength was not strong, but it seemed to leave a deep mark on Lin Qingye's skin, every time The place where one finger was pressed was in pain, Lin Qingye didn't know if it was real pain or a psychological effect.

But what is certain is that Lin Qingye didn't want to hear Li Qiuxi's name from Mu Qing, especially thinking of him as Li Qiuxi.

He is not Li Qiuxi.

He is Lin Qingye, and the only person sitting in front of Mu Qing at this moment is Lin Qingye.

Mu Qing said a lot of words in a hazy way, and he kept talking intermittently. At first, Lin Qingye thought he wanted to tell Li Qiuxi what was in his heart, but after listening to most of it, he realized that it was just Mu Qing who was so ill and was talking nonsense. Actually, he didn't want Li Qiuxi to know how much he liked each other, he was afraid that once this layer of paper was broken, they would not even be friends in the end.

Lin Qingye and Mu Qing have known each other for 13 years. In his impression, Mu Qing is an all-round academic master, as if there is nothing in this world that Mu Qing can't do. People are thousands of miles away, and it seems that it is a waste to say one more word - this kind of Mu Qing can only show a soft side in front of friends and family.

But now, Lin Qingye saw another side of Mu Qing - so humble, like a speck of dust floating in the air, unable to find a place to return.

Mu's mother went out after receiving an emergency call from the company. In the huge living room, Mu Ruo was the only one sitting on the sofa. The voices of the hero and heroine hugging each other came from the TV. Mu Ruo felt agitated, picked up the The remote changed channels tediously.

There were footsteps upstairs, Mu Ruo looked up, and saw Lin Qingye walking down the stairs with a numb expression, and asked in the first sentence: "Mu Ruo, do you know Li Qiuxi's phone number?"

"I don't know." Mu Ruo shook his head honestly, then suddenly remembered something, picked up the mobile phone beside him and said, "By the way, he called me a few days ago and asked about my brother's situation. ...I found it, here!"

While talking about Mu Ruo giving Lin Qingye her mobile phone number, she wanted to ask Lin Qingye what she wanted Li Qiuxi's phone number for, but Lin Qingye turned around without saying a word, walked to the French window, and then dialed the number she had written down on her mobile phone just now. .

Mu Ruo looked at Lin Qingye with a confused face and called Li Qiuxi. Within half an hour, she waited for Li Qiuxi who also looked confused.

This is the first time Lin Qingye saw Li Qiuxi, and he took a rough look at it. Li Qiuxi looks better in person than in the photos Lin Pei secretly took. He is about the same height as Mu Qing, both over 1.8 meters five, and has a pair of beautiful red phoenix eyes. Looking down When he came over, he seemed to look down on the world, his slightly long black hair was a little messy, and a few disobedient strands of hair fell in front of his eyes, and he blew gently, and the strands of hair floated aside.

To a certain extent, Li Qiuxi and Mu Qing are quite similar, they are filled with a cold aura that strangers should not enter, Mu Qing is more restrained, and Li Qiuxi is more arrogant.

"Are you Lin Qingye who called me?" Li Qiuxi was also rude when speaking, relying on her height advantage to look down at Lin Qingye, "Where's Mu Qing?"

Lin Qingye took a few steps back without showing any signs, and opened the distance between him and Li Qiuxi: "He's in the bedroom."

Li Qiuxi noticed Lin Qingye's small movements with sharp eyes, frowned and glanced at him, said nothing, changed into slippers and walked upstairs, and greeted Mu Ruo very familiarly when passing by: "I Go upstairs and see your brother."

"Oh..." Mu Ruo continued to be in a daze.

Lin Qingye froze in place, thinking back to Li Qiuxi's skillful movements when he changed his slippers, as if he was a part of the family, but looking back at himself, Lin Qingye thought of these things I feel very uncomfortable.

But he knew that he couldn't complain, after all Li Qiuxi was someone Mu Qing liked, he was different from an outsider like himself.

"Brother Qingye?" Mu Ruo was frightened by Lin Qingye's motionless appearance, and approached cautiously with his hands on his chest, "Why did you call my brother's friend here suddenly? My brother is still sick, and his cold can easily spread to others." others."

Lin Qingye turned around silently, walked to the sofa with Mu Ruo and sat down, said quietly: "Didn't he want to see Li Qiuxi?"

"Ah?" Mu Ruo didn't understand.

"The person your brother likes is Li Qiuxi, right?" Lin Qingye lowered his head and rubbed his fingers, and said in a muffled voice, "Perhaps with Li Qiuxi by his side, his illness will heal faster."

"Ah!" Mu Ruo changed from a confused face to a shocked one, "No, how did you come to the conclusion that my brother likes his friend?"

"Guess." Seeing Mu Ruo's surprised expression, Lin Qingye became more and more sure of his thoughts, "It's easy to guess, isn't it? Li Qiuxi meets all the conditions you mentioned before, and Mu Qing also said it himself."

Although Mu Qing didn't exactly mention Li Qiuxi's name just now, everything he said pointed to Li Qiuxi, and only Li Qiuxi could make him transfer from a private school to No. [-] Middle School at all costs.

Mu Ruo was stunned for a long time with his mouth open, before he said in a daze, "Why did my brother tell you?"

"That's what you said, similar to what you told me that day." Lin Qingye rubbed his eyebrows, he didn't really want to continue this topic, got up and said, "Since Li Qiuxi has come, let him accompany Mu Qing, I go first."

"Brother Qingye——" Mu Ruo simply convinced Lin Qingye's imagination, she thought she had made it clear enough, but she didn't expect Lin Qingye to be able to connect Mu Qing and Li Qiuxi together, but she dared not pass by Mu Qing agreed to tell Lin Qingye the truth directly, and had no choice but to grab Lin Qingye's sleeve in a hurry, "You think too much, the person my brother likes is not Li Qiuxi."

Lin Qingye paused, then silently turned his head to look at Mu Ruo without saying a word.

"Is my brother awake? Let's go up and have a look together. You tell my brother before leaving. He has been looking forward to your coming when he was sick."

Mu Ruo thought to herself that since Mu Qing was coy and unwilling to confess to Lin Qingye, then she might as well encourage her. Even if Lin Qingye couldn't accept Mu Qing's liking for him, she wouldn't say that Mu Qing was sick and confused and talking nonsense. too embarrassing.

In fact, Lin Qingye didn't want to see the scene of Li Qiuxi and Mu Qing loving each other. He rejected that scene from the bottom of his heart, but when the words came out of his mouth, it turned into agreeing with Mu Ruo's proposal. In the end, his two The legs followed Mu Ruo up the stairs very sincerely.

If they were standing next to each other, wouldn't Mu Qing and Li Qiuxi be alone in the same room?

Lin Qingye thought sadly, and soon he and Mu Ruo walked to the door. The door was ajar, and there were indistinct voices coming from inside.

Mu Ruo, who was walking in front, gently pushed open the door, and then froze on the spot in the next second, with one hand raised in mid-air, maintaining the posture of pushing the door.

"Aren't you going in?" Lin Qingye walked over suspiciously.

Mu Ruo, who had regained consciousness, turned around abruptly, subconsciously trying to squeeze Lin Qingye away who had already walked behind her, and at the same time wanted to close the door first, before hesitating for a few seconds, all the scenes in the bedroom were gone. Lin Qingye clearly saw it, including Mu Qing who was trying to prop up half of his body and hugged Li Qiuxi tightly, and Li Qiuxi who was full of panic and didn't know what to do.

Seeing Mu Ruo standing at the door of the room, Li Qiuxi seemed to have seen a savior, and her original poker face was filled with desire for freedom: "Mu Ruo! Come and pull your brother! Why is he so nervous?"

Mu Qing was not strong enough, Li Qiuxi could get away with a little struggle, but he didn't dare to move, for fear of hurting the sick seedling hanging on him.

"I like you so much, why can't you try to like me?" Mu Qing's body temperature was terribly hot, as if something heavy was pressing on his eyelids, he couldn't even open his eyes, complaining with the last bit of strength, "Do you like me, okay..."

Li Qiuxi almost screamed in response: "Not good—"

"..." Mu Ruo turned around in embarrassment, but saw Lin Qingye backed away a few steps expressionlessly, until he had retreated to the opposite wall.

Just as she was about to explain, Lin Qingye took the lead and said, "I'm leaving first, and I'll come see him next time when I have time. Thank you for your care these days."

After Lin Qingye finished speaking, he ran away without giving Mu Ruo a chance to speak.

He ran back to his bedroom in one breath, closed the curtains, and wrapped himself tightly in the quilt. Lin Qingye's frantically beating heart couldn't calm down, as if it was about to jump out of his throat in the next moment. He felt very uncomfortable. Emotions were suppressed, and turned into a ball of cotton stuffed in the chest cavity.

It would have been nice if he hadn't seen that scene with his own eyes, Lin Qingye thought so, then he wouldn't lose control in front of Mu Ruo, let alone discover the small details that he had overlooked——

He never knew that he would care about Mu Qing to such an extent, and even privately he didn't want Mu Qing and Li Qiuxi to be together. He wanted Li Qiuxi to reject Mu Qing decisively, so that he would no longer have any hope from now on.

After realizing his vicious thoughts, Lin Qingye was stunned for a long time. He thought that he was just jealous and didn't want his childhood friend to be snatched away by others, but when he thought about it carefully, he found that there were some other emotions mixed in.

That night, Lin Qingye didn't go to Mu's house for dinner, but curled up in bed and slept until he was woken up by the alarm clock the next morning.

On the first day of school after the vacation, the students were listless, and fell asleep in the morning self-study, until Teacher Zhou found a feather duster from somewhere and knocked hard on the desk twice. Immediately, they bounced up, one by one, like frogs who had been poked in the buttocks, with no sleepiness on their faces.

"Sleep, sleep, sleep, the monthly exam is going to be next week, and you are still sleeping!" Mr. Zhou waved a feather duster, pointing at a group of students below with their eyes as big as copper bells, and the east lion roared. Said, "If you want to sleep so much, go home and sleep for me. Your parents have worked so hard to earn money that you are not allowed to come to school to sleep!"

It was as quiet as a chicken below, and everyone was afraid that they would be treated as the first bird.

Teacher Zhou looked around the crowd, and finally fixed on Lin Qingye who was bowing his head to calculate the problem: "Lin Qingye."

"Here." Lin Qingye was so frightened that the other students turned their heads and cast sympathetic glances.

"Come to my office after class and exchange for your first prize." Teacher Zhou's fierce expression instantly became kind.

The sympathetic eyes of the students turned into envy.

Lin Qingye: "..."

This first prize was given to him by Mu Qing. Mu Qing knew what the first prize was, but he never told Lin Qingye. Judging from the urgency of the competition, no matter how many prizes are awarded, they cannot escape the clutches of the school supplies, but this time Lin Qingye guessed wrong.

The first prize is a guitar.

Lin Qingye learned guitar for several years when he was in elementary school and junior high school. To be honest, he didn't have many interests. Apart from studying, he only had basketball and guitar.

It's a pity that after entering high school, the studies were heavy, and the number of times he played basketball dropped sharply, and he hadn't touched the guitar for more than a year. Lin Qingye's original guitar was accidentally broken when his mother was cleaning the room. Have time to buy a new one, just haven't been able to find the time.

Back to the classroom with the guitar on their backs, Qi Hui and the others swarmed up with several classmates, scrambling to see the prize Lin Qingye got.

Lin Qingye put the guitar between him and Qi Hui, facing everyone's expectant eyes, he refused without even raising his head: "No."

Chen Chen, who was the most curious, couldn't help but howl: "Why?!"

"There is no reason." Lin Qingye said, "It's just a broken guitar, and it's nothing to look at."

"Since it's a broken guitar, take it out and show us how broken it is." Qi Hui rubbed his hands excitedly and said.

Lin Qingye glanced at him with a half-smile: "Then how about I show your mother how bad your grades are, and ask Li Qiuxi to strengthen your tuition."

Qi Hui covered his head with his hands and said in pain: "What's so good about that broken guitar of yours? Please, I don't mind seeing it!"

After speaking indignantly, Qi Hui, deeply humiliated, decided to work hard and study hard. He immediately lay down on the desk and opened the math exercise book to prepare for the first problem. Like a football, he pushed the exercise book in front of Lin Qingye: "Boss, how do you see this question?"

The first monthly exam of the second semester of high school is approaching. Even Qi Hui, who is as nervous as a telephone pole, feels oppressed. The child moves with the teacher's footsteps, and it is not known whether the teacher listened to what the teacher said.

However, in a certain class, when Lin Qingye immersed himself in writing notes and looked at the blackboard, he noticed Qi Hui was still staring at the teacher intently, and the students around him were all bowing their heads and writing down the key points that the teacher just said.

Lin Qingye was speechless, and bumped Qi Hui's arm: "Write."

"Oh!" Qi Hui woke up like a dream, opened the notebook, thought hard for a moment, and finally quietly moved to Lin Qingye's side, "Boss, what are you writing?"

"...Write how stupid you are, get out."

Time passed quickly, and the monthly exam was ushered in almost in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Lin Qingye has been studying crazily. Apart from sleeping and eating, he just reads books and memorizes questions. He can hear him memorizing English words to himself when he walks. Lin Qingye has been a standard academic master since kindergarten, but his love for textbooks is not so strong that he can't wait to get into the books every second.

The three of Qi Hui thought that Lin Qingye was under too much pressure in the monthly exam, and they took turns persuading him to relax, not to put too much pressure on himself, and not to wreck his body when he won the first place in the grade.

Persuasion for a long time was useless, Lin Qingye still insisted on going his own way.

Qi Hui, who was concerned about the health of his boss, became anxious, and said without hesitation: "Anyway, Mu Qing didn't come to school because he was sick. Didn't Shi Rui say that he might not even take the monthly exam? As long as Mu Qing doesn't come to the exam, The number one position is definitely yours."

Lin Qingye stared at Qi Hui expressionlessly, his whole body was filled with the aura of death, he managed to force himself to forget about Mu Qing for a short time through his studies, and now that Qi Hui mentioned it like this, what happened that afternoon was like a torrent of water. into his mind.

As long as you close your eyes, you can see the scene of Mu Qing hugging Li Qiuxi's waist tightly and saying that he likes him in such a humble tone.
