Senior, don't pretend to be an A anymore.

When Xie Bufei found Yu Qiao, she was sitting alone on the stairs leading to the rooftop.

The cold wind lingered past in the corridor, sending out a rumbling and empty echo.The girl was sitting on the steps, holding the mobile phone in one hand and hugging her knees in the other, with her head buried in her arms, motionless.

"quietly?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Yu Qiao slowly raised her head.

Her face was frighteningly pale, the tip of her nose was flushed, and her dark hair was messy and stuck to her cheeks, like a clump of frizzy water plants.

Yu Qiao exposed a pair of eyes from the crook of her arms, looking at her wetly.

It looked like a small animal huddled in a cardboard box, abandoned during a rainstorm.

Xie Bufei searched for her for a long time, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.She walked over and knelt down: "Are you okay?"

Yu Qiao looked at her, her eyes were out of focus, as if staring at a point in the void through her figure.

It took her a while to react, she shook her head lightly, then nodded again.

Xie Bufei couldn't help but worry.

She has seen all kinds of Yu Qiao, confident, determined, shy... Each of them has its own charm and shines brightly.

But it was the first time she saw Yu Qiao's frail appearance, and she was disheartened, like a fragile piece of paper that would fall down when the wind blows.

Xie Bufei squatted in front of Yu Qiao, and rubbed her head with one hand, her voice was unprecedentedly gentle: "It's all right."

Brilliant sunlight poured through the open doors of the roof.Yu Qiao looked at her silently for a while, and the bright light fell into her eyes, flickering, almost overflowing.

Xie Bufei stepped forward and took her into his arms.

"Don't be afraid..."

Yu Qiao closed her eyes, trembling all over, she suddenly stretched out her hands and grabbed Xie Bufei's shoulders tightly, like a drowning person holding the only driftwood in his hand.

The warm liquid sank into the neck and slipped down silently.

Xie Bufei stroked her back from top to bottom along the spinous processes of her spine, and when the girl in her arms gradually calmed down, she said softly, "Quietly, I'll take you back to the dormitory first."

The head on the shoulder moved.

"Aren't you going back?" Xie Bufei followed her, "Then let's stay for a while."

Yu Qiao gave a low hum, squinted her eyes and leaned quietly on her shoulder, completely defenseless.

"Senior sister..." Her voice was a little hoarse, like the wind blowing dry leaves at her feet.

"I'm so tired."

She didn't complain about the burden, anxiety and poverty of 18 years of life, but they were still piled up there and kept adding up.No matter how hard she tried, she could only chip away a little bit.

And those rumors were like the last straw that broke the camel's back, magnifying the pain that was usually ignored, flooding in like a tide, drowning Yu Qiao.

She put all her weight on Xie Bufei's body, and said in a harsh voice, "I'm so tired."

It's like losing all reason to fight for it.

Xie Bufei suddenly distanced herself from her, cupped her face with both hands, and said, "Don't give up."

"If you give up on yourself at a time like this, you're not the Yu Qiao I knew."

She paused, and said coldly: "The person who posted the anonymous message is also hiding behind the keyboard and waiting to see your complete defeat. You can't follow their wishes."

Yu Qiao stared at her blankly, reached out to wipe her eyes vigorously, and nodded tremblingly.

Xie Bufei pretended to be relaxed and smiled, leaned close to her, gently wiped away the tears around her eyes with her fingertips, and whispered to her: "You don't have to worry now, just concentrate on preparing for the game, okay?"

Yu Qiao paused and shook her head slightly.

"The game... is gone."

"Gone?"

"Qualification." Yu Qiao raised her hand hanging by her side, revealing the phone screen, "Cancelled."

Xie Bufei looked at the chat records on the screen, his expression changed suddenly.

Counselor: "Student Yu Qiao, the department just found out about this matter, so don't be impatient, we will give you a result."

Counselor: "Before that, the dean will give you a week's vacation, and I hope you can take a break for a while."

Yu Qiao: "What do you mean?"

Counselor: "It's like this. Several of our teachers discussed it. This national college student information security competition is very formal and has a bearing on the spirit of the school.

Several teachers are not very sympathetic to the controversial student participation, it will affect other schools' perception of us, and it will also affect the mentality of other students. "

Yu Qiao: "This is my private matter and has nothing to do with the competition. Besides, I have prepared all the questions for the competition and set up the framework."

Counselor: "Sorry, this is the result of our college's discussion. Your grades have always been excellent, and you have not committed any punishment. The teacher believes in your character.

But if you participate in the competition with your current mental state, I'm afraid you won't get good results, so it's better to let others have this opportunity. "

Yu Qiao: "Teacher, I can do well..."

Counselor: "And we just checked your high school files, and you were indeed punished for fighting with your classmates."

Yu Qiao: "I can explain this matter."

Counselor: "Even if I am willing to listen, other teachers may not believe your words. Yu Qiao, we are thinking of you, so you can take a break for a while."

Counselor: "I will try my best to fight for the poor students, don't worry."

Xie Feifei narrowed his eyes.

This is a stick and another sweet date, successfully blocking Yu Qiao's words.

Even if she wanted to break up with the counselor, she couldn't do it because of what happened to poverty.

Xie Bufei locked the phone, returned it to her, and said, "Don't look at the phone now, I'll take care of it."

"Come back with me now, okay?"

Yu Quietly was silent for a moment, then hummed in a low voice.

Hurrying back to 301, there was no one in the dormitory, Yao Rudong and Lu Yun were still in class.

Seeing Yu Qiao's listless appearance, Xie Bufei said, "Go and rest for a while."

Yu Qiao is now extremely sensitive to the word rest, and immediately said, "I don't need it."

"Hey, I just told you to go up and sleep."

Yu Qiao pursed her lips, sat on the chair and raised her head, looked at her from bottom to top, and whispered, "I'm not sleepy."

"You can't keep your eyes open." Xie Bufei said, "Recently, you have been staying up late to work on projects, right?"

Yu Quietly remained silent, and lowered her head again, with the broken hair on her forehead covering the faint dark circles under her eyelids.

For some reason, Xie Bufei felt that she looked a little helpless now.

I'm used to Yu Qiao's steady and steady appearance, but now I feel like a puppy that has lost its direction, squatting on the spot in a daze.

"Don't worry, I'll be here with you." Xie Bufei bent down and held her hand.

She coaxed Yu Qiao to take a bath in a soft voice, and the other party was finally persuaded, and walked into the bathroom step by step.

After washing, Yu Qiao rushed out immediately.

Xie Bufei sat on a chair and looked back at her, drinking water from a cup, and said with a smile, "Why are you in such a hurry to come out?"

Yu Qiao walked quickly to Xie Bufei's side with a hazy body of water vapor, and gently held her hand, her eyes were clear.

There is a faint scent of grass and trees on her body, like a forest under the autumn sun, gentle and fresh.

Xie Bufei held her instead: "Go to sleep?"

She added another sentence: "I won't go, I will stay with you."

Yu Qiao's eyelashes trembled, and she nodded obediently under her expectant gaze.

Xie Bufei breathed a sigh of relief, and finally stuffed Yu Qiao into the quilt, tucking the corners of the quilt.

She stretched out her hand, slowly stroking Yu Qiao's face with her fingertips, her voice was as soft as the evening wind blowing the grass: "Have a good sleep, you need to rest."

Yu Qiao curled up under the blanket, only showing a pale face, looking at her without blinking.

After a long time, she said in a low voice: "Actually... a long time ago, when I was in junior high school, I also experienced such a thing."

There was a faint nasal voice in her words: "The news of my father's imprisonment was reported in the news, and the whole class saw it, and it was widely spread in the school."

"At that time, no one wanted to talk to me anymore, and everyone wanted to stay away from me. I heard them being afraid of me and making fun of me behind my back.

One day, someone in the class suddenly said that I was a violent person like my father, that our family could not be slapped together. I explained it many times, but he said that I deserved it. "

"I was thinking at the time, was there something wrong with me?" Yu Qiao turned her head and covered her eyes with the back of her hand, "Is it really my mother and I's fault for being domestically abused?"

Sitting next to her, Xie Bufei held Yu Qiao's hand tightly: "Of course it's not your fault."

"I'm different from my dad... I won't become him." Yu Qiao swallowed her throat and said shyly.

Xie Bufei: "You hit that man, didn't you?"

Yu Qiao looked at her uneasily and said incoherently: "I, I was...so angry. The first time I hit someone, I completely lost my mind. I am different from my dad..."

Xie Bufei chuckled: "Good fight. Only by resisting will they know that you are right."

"Later he had a mild concussion and was admitted to the hospital." Yu Qiao said, "I also changed schools."

"Don't be afraid, you did the right thing." Xie Bufei lowered her eyes and comforted her over and over again, "Quietly, I will help you, trust me."

This time, you are not alone.

With red eyes, Yu Qiao nodded vigorously.

She wanted to talk, but Xie Bufei stretched out his index finger to stop her lips, and said softly: "Don't think about these things, just sleep peacefully."

Yu Qiao closed her eyes obediently, her soft eyelashes trembling slightly.

Lying in the warm quilt, she gradually relaxed, feeling fatigued and paralyzed her tight nerves.

"Senior sister, I don't want to trouble you..." Yu Qiao's voice gradually trailed off, and she held her hand tightly, "Can you not leave..."

Xie Bufei said softly, "Okay, I won't leave."

She stared at Yu Qiao's sleeping face until Yu Qiao's breathing gradually calmed down, then she slowly let go of her hand and came to the balcony.

After closing the door behind him and turning on the phone, Yao Rudong and Lu Yun's WeChat messages flooded in.

"Senior Xie, quietly, how is she? Is she okay now? Nothing happened to her, right?"

"Senior sister, have you found Qiaoqiao? I'm so anxious, we will rush back immediately after class..."

"I found her, don't worry, she's in the dormitory now."

After Xie Bufei replied one by one, she clicked on the address book and dialed a person's phone number.

A lazy male voice came from the receiver: "Hello?"

"Help me find someone." Xie Bufei looked at the clear sky in the distance and squinted, "Who is running the school's confession wall?"

The author has something to say: sorry!I was a little Carvin orz yesterday;
