Chapter 2: The Schoolgirl Crouching in the Corridor

Chen Xiao returned home carrying the vegetables.

He currently lives in an old residential area not far from the school.

The place is not big.

The rent is also cheap.

When he arrived at his floor, he saw a petite girl in a blue and white school uniform squatting in the corridor.

Under the orange sensor light.

The girl also looked over.

The two looked at each other and then looked away.

Chen Xiao knew this girl. She was the daughter of the neighbor next door.

Speaking of which, he has lived here alone for more than two years. Apart from knowing that his next-door neighbor is a single mother, he knows nothing else about them, not even the names of the mother and daughter.

In the empty corridor, there was only the sound of Chen Xiao's footsteps. He had originally planned to just walk into the house like this.

But fate seemed to have played a different story.

As he passed by the girl.

A "gurgling" sound, which is only heard when the stomach is empty, was heard immediately.

An awkward atmosphere spread in the corridor.

The girl buried her head in her knees shyly.

He hesitated.

Chen Xiao still spoke up, "You... Is there no one at home?"

however.

As soon as he finished saying this, he regretted it... What do you mean there is no one at home? This is exactly what he meant.

"Uh...I'm not...uh."

Chen Xiao opened his mouth and wanted to explain something, but found that his tongue was a little tied.

"puff."

The girl suddenly smiled and raised her head. Her fair and delicate face was slightly flushed. She shyly replied, "No...no, I left in a hurry this morning and forgot to bring my keys, so I had to wait for my mother to come back."

"That's it..."

Chen Xiaosong's tone was good, but the other party was a little girl, so she probably didn't hear any other meaning in that sentence.

then.

He then asked, "When will your mother come back?"

The girl sighed and replied, "She doesn't get off work until midnight."

Twelve o'clock?

Chen Xiao was startled and took out his cell phone worth eight hundred dollars to take a look.

"It's seven o'clock now. Don't you have to wait here for five hours?"

"What else can we do?" The girl's pretty face showed a hint of helplessness.

She looked somewhat pitiful.

Chen Xiao mustered up the courage to say to her, "Well...why don't you come to my house and wait? It looks like you haven't eaten yet, so I can cook it together."

talking.

He just raised the plastic bag of vegetables in his hand to prove that he had no improper intentions.

The girl opened her mouth and wanted to refuse, but her stomach began to make protesting sounds again.

The originally shy face turned even redder.

"Okay...well, I'll eat very little."

"It's okay... I bought a lot today."

Chen Xiao was happy to hear the girl agree. He immediately opened the door and invited her in.

......

Enter the room.

The girl looked around and found that the house was very clean and there was no strange smell.

So I asked curiously, "Do you clean the house by yourself?"

Chen Xiao put down the dish and answered, "Yes... I like cleanliness and don't like messy environments."

"Not bad..." The girl nodded, agreeing with Chen Xiao's words. She then asked, "Where are your parents? Aren't they at home?"

Hear the words.

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "They are all gone now. I live alone."

"Ah...I'm sorry, I didn't know." The girl apologized quickly.

Chen Xiao waved his hands, "It's okay, I'm used to it... My name is Chen Xiao, what's your name?"

The girl pursed her lips and answered, "My name is Xu Xuejing, I'm 16 years old, and I'm a freshman in No. Middle School."

"No. 1 Middle School... I'm in No. 2 Middle School, and I'm in my third year of high school. No. 1 Middle School is a pretty good school, a national key school."

She didn't say.

Chen Xiao really didn't realize that Xu Xuejing was actually a student of No. 1 Middle School. Especially in Lincheng, many schools have blue and white uniforms. If you don't see the school badge, you really can't recognize her.

one more.

Xu Xuejing's face was so cute that it didn't match her age. Chen Xiao subconsciously thought she was an elementary school student.

This time.

Both of them are students.

Although we are not in the same school, the distance between us has been shortened a lot.

Xu Xuejing chuckled and said, "Hello, senior. Our No. 1 Middle School is just average, but No. 2 Middle School is very strong in science. I think your grades are also very good."

"Cough cough."

Chen Xiao coughed twice and changed the subject directly, "Let's not talk about this. I'm going to cook. You can sit anywhere. If you are thirsty, there are unopened mineral waters there."

Done.

He just took the vegetables and walked into the small kitchen.

......

after a while.

Chen Xiao brought two plates of food to the small living room and placed them on the coffee table. When he saw that Xu Xuejing was still looking reserved, he said to her.

"Well...the rice pot is still in the kitchen, can you help me get it?"

"Oh... ok, okay."

Xu Xuejing stood up and ran towards the kitchen.

Not a moment later.

She came out holding the rice cooker, looking a little silly.

"Put it here." Chen Xiao pointed to the coffee table.

"Um..."

Xu Xuejing nodded, put the rice cooker away, and sat back in her original seat.

Chen Xiao went to get the bowl and chopsticks again.

He moved a small stool, sat down opposite her, and signaled that it was time to eat.

Xu Xuejing first thanked him, then served herself a bowl of rice, picked up some food and put it in her cherry mouth, chewing it carefully.

next second.

Her eyes widened, and she nodded repeatedly, praisingly, "It's delicious~ Senior, it's a pity that you don't become a chef."

"I'm just thinking about it when I have nothing to do. As long as you like it, that's fine." Chen Xiao answered casually.

then.

He saw a small white and tender hand reaching out to him, and Xu Xuejing put a piece of lean meat in his bowl.

"Senior, you eat."

A light and gentle voice sounded, and Chen Xiao stood still, with an indescribable feeling rising in his heart.

Ever since my parents left.

He was traumatized and became somewhat self-contained. He didn't like to contact anyone and he never experienced the feeling of being cared for.

Today Xu Xuejing picked up some food for him.

This struck a chord in his rock-hard heart.

......

I saw him in a daze.

Xu Xuejing asked doubtfully, "Senior, what are you thinking about? Why aren't you eating?"

Chen Xiao came back to his senses and said bitterly, "Maybe I'm being a little hypocritical, because no one has ever picked up food for me... I'm actually a little touched."

Hear him say that.

Xu Xuejing thought of Chen Xiao, who had been an orphan since childhood, and the girl felt deep sympathy for him.

She put down the dishes.

With a serious face, he said to Chen Xiao, "Senior, thank you for treating me to dinner today. I can see that you are a warm-hearted person, so...I want to be friends with you, okay?"

"what..."

Chen Xiao came back to his senses from the bitterness.

He looked at Xu Xuejing's cute little face with surprise.

what happened.

A cute little girl actually wants to be friends with me?

To know.

He is a invisible person in school and no one wants to approach him.

what is it today?

First, the school beauty Su Qianqian forced herself to join the student union.

Then there is the lovely daughter of the neighbor next door who wants to be friends with me.

Is it possible...

Is spring coming?
