A month later.
The half-term exam arrived as promised.
After the last exam, Chen Tianjin walked out of the exam room with a solemn face.
"The exam is already over. Why are you still wearing this expression?”Qiao Yingzi poked Xia Linxi's dimples with her finger.
Xia Linxi asked her with a bitter face,"Tell me, how much weaker can I be than Qin Peng this time?"”
"Oh…you've been working so hard during this period of time, so you shouldn't be too far off, right? Aiya, look, you don't even treat others as your opponents, but you're staring at Qin Peng.”Qiao Yingzi said.
"Sigh."
Xia Linxi was both nervous and excited as he waited for the results.
The day before the results were released, Qiao Yingzi went to the office to ask questions and casually asked about her results. The results were that her improvement was very obvious and she did well this time.
Xia Linxi was ranked second in his class and second in his grade.
There were five points between the first and second place. Yes, the distance of a multiple-choice question.
On the way back from school that day.
"Xiao Xi, why do you have such an expression? You've already done very well this time.”Gu Xiaoman expressed that she didn't understand. This was simply a large-scale Versailles scene.
Xia Linxi sighed. What a pity. He was so close to catching up to Qin Peng.
Xia Linxi had never surpassed Qin Peng. Ever since he entered high school, he realized that Qin Peng seemed to have taken medicine and pulled away from him.
"Make way! Make way!"
Footsteps suddenly sounded from behind.
"Student, make way!"
Suddenly, she heard a series of messy footsteps behind her, and a male voice mixed in.
It was the end of school, and there were quite a lot of people on the stairs. When they heard the shout behind them, everyone quickly made way.
Xia Linxi had been distracted the whole time and didn't react for a moment.
Immediately after, she felt someone bump into her shoulder. Her body tilted and she missed her step.
A sense of weightlessness hit him instantly.
In the next second, she threw herself forward.
"Xiao Xi!"
Gu Xiaoman's exclamation and the gasps of the people around her could be heard.
The moment he fell, Xia Linxi thought that the way he fell was not very beautiful…
The little fairy actually fell flat on her face! He was too ashamed to face anyone!
How she wished that it would be like those idol dramas, where a handsome man would suddenly appear and reach out to pull her into his arms…Even if he wasn't a handsome man, it would be fine.
However, reality was cruel. Not only did she fall down, but she also fell hard. His palms and knees instantly felt pain.
Fortunately, she was two or three steps away from the ground. It would be a big problem if he fell from above.
"Xiao Xi, are you okay? Did you fall anywhere?" Gu Xiaoman squatted at the side and asked nervously.
Xia Linxi was in so much pain that he couldn't speak. Gu Xiaoman wanted to pull her up, but when she moved, Xia Linxi hissed in pain.
This time, she did not dare to move. She could only raise her head to look at the boy who had just bumped into her and curse,"Don't you have eyes? Why are you running so fast up the stairs!"
"I'm…I'm sorry. How is she?”The boy immediately apologized.
"Is there any use in apologizing? She's already fallen like this!" Gu Xiaoman refused to let it go.
The expression on the boy's face kept changing. He couldn't bring himself to be scolded in front of so many people. He straightened his neck and said,"I didn't do it on purpose. Besides, I've already apologized.”
"You…"
Gu Xiaoman wanted to say something, but Xia Linxi, who had already recovered, suddenly said,""Xiaoman, help me up first…"
There were still many onlookers around. Hearing her say this, a few students who were close to her came over to help.
After helping her up, Gu Xiaoman looked at her face immediately. She heaved a sigh of relief after seeing that she was fine."Thank goodness, my face is fine."
Xia Linxi was speechless.
His face was fine, but there was something wrong with other places.
When the boy saw her stand up, he hesitated and said,"Um, are you okay? It's so late…Do you want to go to the hospital to have a look?”
Xia Linxi frowned and looked at him.
She was already in this state, yet he, the perpetrator, still wanted to go home late at night.
"Leave your class, name, and phone number. I'll reimburse you for the medical expenses tomorrow.”Xia Linxi said coldly and stopped looking at him.
Hearing this, Gu Xiaoman immediately took out her phone from her bag.
“……”
The boy left after leaving these messages.
With Gu Xiaoman's help, Xia Linxi moved downstairs with difficulty.
His palm was grazed, and it was burning. Her knees hurt too. She didn't even need to look to know that the skin was broken.
"What should we do? You can't even leave now.”Gu Xiaoman was a little anxious.
Xia Linxi sat by the flower bed and said to her,""Xiaoman, help me call Qin Peng.”
"Right, right, right. There's also Qin Peng."
Gu Xiaoman took Xia Linxi's phone and called Qin Peng. At this time, Qin Peng rushed to the parking lot after school and waited for Xia Linxi.
The call went through, and Gu Xiaoman quickly told Qin Peng about the situation here.
After hanging up, she looked at Xia Linxi and said,""Handsome Peng is really anxious. He hung up before I could finish speaking.”
Xia Linxi only smiled at her. She wasn't in the mood to argue with her now.
Qin Peng came very quickly. When he came over, he was still panting slightly. When he saw Xia Linxi's current appearance, he frowned.
"What happened? Can you still move?" He squatted in front of Xia Linxi and asked coldly.
Qin Peng himself might not have noticed how serious his expression was at this moment.
Her hair was messy, and her brows were tightly furrowed. Her black eyes were filled with worry.
For some reason, Xia Linxi felt a little wronged when he saw him. Coupled with the pain from her palm, her eyes unconsciously turned red. She bit her lip and said aggrievedly,"It hurts."
Only then did Qin Peng notice that her palm had been scratched. It was red and there was dust on the wound.
He suddenly felt as if his heart was being pulled by something.
Xia Linxi looked straight at him and watched as he opened his backpack and took out a bottle of mineral water to wash her wound.
Qin Peng's face was dark the entire time, but his hand movements were very light.
After cleaning the wound on his hand, he looked down.
"Can you still move your legs?"
"Yes, I can." Chen Tianjin replied in a muffled voice," It should be just a scratch. It hurts a little."”
As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Peng reached out and slowly rolled up her pants. Fortunately, her school uniform pants were loose and could be rolled up easily.
Feeling a slight pain, Xia Linxi shifted his gaze from his face to his knees.
Wuwuwu, the skin was broken. It was green, red, and purple. It was quite serious.
"Let's go straight home. I have medical tools at home.”Qin Peng said in a deep voice.
"Yes." Chen Tianjin nodded. The journey home was much shorter than going to the hospital. Qin Peng's mother was an orthopedist, and they always had all kinds of medicine at home.
Then, she saw Qin Peng bend down, one hand around her back, and the other reaching for her leg…
Xia Linxi didn't react for a moment. He stepped back and asked nervously,""What are you doing?"
Qin Peng pursed his lips and said coldly,""Don't tell me you can walk back by yourself?”
“……”
When Xia Linxi thought about how he still had a long way to go, he instantly cursed the person who built this school from the beginning to the end!
Then, she smiled awkwardly.
"Can you carry me?"
The night wind blew gently, and the air was mixed with an inexplicable fragrance of flowers. It was already spring.
Xia Linxi lay on Qin Peng's back, her arms still around his neck. Perhaps she was shy, but she didn't say anything.
The last time he carried her like this was probably when they were in elementary school. Xia Linxi had jumped up on his own that time.
She should have been a cold role model, but Xia Linxi felt exceptionally warm.
Qin Peng carried Xia Linxi to the place where he parked his bicycle, put Xia Linxi in the back seat, and drove Xia Linxi home.
