How much will you sell it to me?

18.

After that, a long time passed, and An Yang didn't have another girlfriend.

One of An Yang's friends named Chen Junfan said, "An Yang is remembering his lost first love."

I didn't strike up a conversation, I thought it was good in my heart - it was better than An Yang getting another girlfriend.

19.

When I was in the second year of middle school, An Yang was in the second year of high school.

At noon that day, I was waiting for An Yang at the entrance of the teaching building as usual.It's a pity that An Yang didn't wait for her, but she waited for a freshman senior.

"Student, can you give me a message for An Yang?"

I don't know how she knew me, nor why she asked me to pass the message.

I wanted to refuse straight away, but as soon as I raised my head, I saw An Yang walking towards this side.

I said, "Talk to him yourself."

An Yang stood still, with an uneasy expression: "Qiao Xi, come here."

When the girl heard An Yang speak, she turned her head suddenly, "An Yang..."

An Yang ignored her very shamelessly and pulled me away.

20.

"Qiao Xi, you are too young to fall in love early, you know?" Along the way, An Yang told me a lot of things, and I seemed to see the figure of our head teacher.

"An Yang." In the end, I couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted him, "She likes you."

An Yang's eyes widened, "What?"

"She wants me to send you a message."

"Pass what?"

"You came before she had time to say it."

An Yang's face was still not good-looking, he asked: "She wants to talk to me, why is she looking for you?"

"How do I know." I felt that An Yang was making trouble out of no reason, but I still told him calmly.

"Josh, are you hiding something from me?"

"What?" I don't understand why he said that suddenly.

An Yang grabbed my hand tightly and tightly, "Do you have a girl you like?"

He was really puzzled, I replied to him: "No."

"You can't have a date if you have it, you know?" An Yang said again: "You are too young, at least...at least high school..." He finally got quieter.

21.

I said, "I see."

It was just over—I thought it was over.

Later I heard from Chen Junfan that there was a girl who was pursuing An Yang.

"He looks pretty good, but he wears makeup, so I don't know how it will look without makeup."

There are not a few people who like An Yang, Chen Junfan said so, I just took it as one of those suitors and didn't care.

"Student, we meet again." So when I saw the girl who asked me to help with the conversation again, my expression was very funny.

The girl may have been poked at the point of laughter by my astonished expression, and began to laugh without image.

"You scared Qiao Xi." An Yang said standing behind her.

"Hello, junior, it's the second time we meet. My name is Luo Yi." She finally stopped laughing, her lips painted with bright red lipstick opened and closed. It hurts like a prick.

I don't understand why An Yang dated a girl like Luo Yi.

But it doesn't matter.Who An Yang likes and who he is with has nothing to do with me, and I have no right to interfere.So my "do not understand" is equally unimportant.

22.

When An Yang was dating Mu Nannan, I rarely saw Mu Nannan.Luo Yi is different, she and An Yang just started dating, An Yang introduced her to me.

During the meal, I asked An Yang: "Do you like Luo Yi?"

"I like it..." An Yang put my favorite potato into my bowl, "Why not date if you don't like it?"

That's right, why am I asking such nonsense?

My throat is sore and bitter, I can't eat anymore.

"What's wrong?" An Yang asked me.

"I'm full." I put down my chopsticks and put my hands in my pockets.

"So little?" An Yang broke half of his steamed bun and handed it to me, "Eat some more, or you will be hungry in the afternoon."

I took the steamed bun, took a bite, and chewed.The steamed buns are sweet, but it is a pity that they are choked in the throat and cannot be swallowed.

23.

Wherever An Yang is, Luo Yi will follow.

She seems to be skipping classes a lot.When An Yang played basketball in physical education class, she sat with me in the auditorium and watched.

She said, "It's great that you both have the same PE class."

"Yeah." I replied, and then asked casually, "Aren't you too?"

"Me? No. We're going to... maybe math? I don't know, I forgot."

Oh, that's skipping class.

I did not speak again.

After that, it passed a few times—sometimes when I was talking to An Yang, she suddenly appeared from behind us and threw herself on An Yang's back to greet me, and sometimes she and An Yang squatted together. At the school gate, wait for me to go out to play together after school.

The last time, when An Yang and I had dinner at noon, she took the bento she brought from home, sat next to An Yang and asked, "Can you show me your face?" She winked at An Yang playfully, and the little girl showed vividly.

Luo Yi's character is very pleasing, I seem to understand why An Yang fell in love with her.

I had a hard time eating that meal, An Yang said that I had eaten too little recently, and asked me to at least finish all the dishes on the plate.I overfulfilled the task - I also ate the rice clean.

I was so full of nausea that I raised my head and said to them, "I've finished eating, I'm going back to work first."

24.

Although it's hypocritical to say so, I really feel that I should keep a distance from An Yang.

He has a girlfriend after all, and he and I are just brothers.

After that, I made an excuse and said to An Yang: "My dad cooked for me. I eat in class at noon. The midterm exam is coming. I want to review it again. You should also read the book carefully."

An Yang disagreed at first, but in the end he compromised and said, "Okay then. Let's meet again after you finish the exam... You should eat well and eat more."

I nodded and said, "You take the midterm exam well."

An Yang: "If you eat on time, I will temporarily hug the Buddha's feet."

"First grade?" I deliberately teased him.

An Yang showed a embarrassed expression: "It's a bit difficult to be the first...top [-], right?"

"How dare you say it."

"You don't believe me? What if I get in the top [-]?"

I thought about it and said, "I'll buy you a complete set of essays for primary school students."

An Yang's face fell, "No."

"Then what do you want?"

An Yang said: "I haven't thought about it yet, I'll talk about it when I think about it."

I said: "Okay."

25.

Actually, I haven't seen Qiao Qingguo for a long time.

Every day at noon, I went to the store to buy bread to eat. Based on the principle of doing a full set of plays, I really started to review after returning to work.The head teacher bumped into me a few times, and she said that I would not be able to carry it with my body, so she secretly told Qiao Qingguo about it.

So I went home again and met Qiao Qingguo by accident.

Qiao Qingguo said, "What do you want for lunch tomorrow?"

I am no longer the ignorant brat I was back then. I knew how hard it was for Qiao Qingguo to support the family, so I shook my head and said, "No need."

Qiao Qingguo didn't speak for a long time before he asked, "What do you want for lunch tomorrow?"

I knew he didn't know what to say to me.

"It's really not necessary..."

"Fish-flavored eggplant, or stewed beans with potatoes?" He began to talk to himself, stood up while talking, rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the kitchen.

"Dad." I grabbed his arm, "It's really unnecessary...I'll go back to the cafeteria tomorrow."

Qiao Qingguo asked me, "You really don't want to eat?" Seeing that I didn't answer, he turned his head and sat back where he was just now, "Is the food in the school cafeteria bad?"

"pretty good."

Qiao Qingguo looked at me: "Not good... you have to tell me."

I responded softly, "I know."

26.

Qiao Qingguo felt ashamed of me.He didn't know the situation of my school, and he didn't hold a parent-teacher meeting for me. Even on the first day of reporting, An Yang accompanied me to pay tuition, register, and report.

I am not without resentment.

Even knowing that he is doing it for a living, I can't help feeling aggrieved sometimes.

I often saw Qiao Qingguo bending over and beating his back, and heard him moaning in pain while sleeping.

At that time, I will hope that I can be more sensible.I understand Qiao Qingguo's hardships and the efforts he has made for this family.

An Yang said: "Qiao Xi, don't always frown. You are only 14 years old. When you grow up, you will have wrinkles on your forehead. You will cry ugly."

"An Yang." I gave him a cool look and called his name.

Anyang immediately said: "I'm ugly! I'm ugly!"

I often forget that I'm only 14 years old.Anyang can always remind me and give me some joy.

It is inevitable that I like An Yang.

But such a good An Yang doesn't belong to me.

26.

A few days before the mid-term exam, I pinpointed the time and avoided meeting An Yang as much as possible.Every time I wait until there are only leftovers in the cafeteria, I go to eat - I really don't want to see the beautiful picture of him and Luo Yi talking and laughing and sharing lunch.

The midterm exam will take three days, and I met Luo Yi at noon on the second day of the exam.

The staff in the cafeteria had already started to clean up the dishes, and I sat in the corner and ate slowly.

Luo Yi called out to me with some uncertainty: "Qiao Xi?"

I raised my head subconsciously.

Luo Yi said in surprise: "It's really you?"

"Why did you come to dinner so late?" She sat across from me and asked, "Did your father cook for you?"

I guess she must have heard something from An Yang, so I said vaguely: "He's busy and forgot to do it today."

Luo Yi said "oh".

I concentrate on eating.

In the cafeteria, there was only the crisp sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding, and the atmosphere gradually became awkward.

I took a sip of the soup and asked, "Where's An Yang? Why didn't you come to eat with me?"

Luo Yi's eyes lit up when he heard An Yang's name.I guess she must like An Yang very much.

Coincidentally, so am I.

She said, "Don't mention it. I don't know why he's going crazy recently, and he's started to study!"

I slapped the hand holding the spoon.

"I don't pay much attention to me anymore." She took a bite of steamed buns viciously, "Every day at noon in the library to make up notes! But...he looks so handsome when he is studying hard." She said with a silly smile, very cute .
