Chapter 45: Understand

Bai Yu Hao Ying asked her to go play, there was no game in the morning, Bai Yu brought two decks of cards, and already occupied a place on the lawn below the school building, waiting to fight the landlord, whoever loses will be pimped out.

Qiao Lan holds the phone, tiptoes toward the small parking lot outside the stadium, and sees, past the students coming and going, the familiar Cayenne that takes Tan Mo to and from school every day.

Qiao Lan's eyes lit up, while quickly walking towards the outside of the stadium, she let Bai Yu and the girls go first, "You guys play first, I have something to do."

"What is it? Do you want me to accompany you", Bai Yu asked her.

"No need", Qiao Lan waved his hand and left the field without looking back. Hao Ying couldn't help but look back, and a few of the boys he was playing with laughed and dragged him away, "Don't look, your eyeballs are going to be all over the place."

"Get lost", Hao Ying smiled and kicked the boy, everyone laughed.

From the beginning of the school year, Hao Ying took the initiative to find Qiao Lan to be her classmate, and later on, she played with Bai Yu, who was close to Qiao Lan, and went to Qiao Lan every day when she had time to ask her questions, and when Qiao Lan came out in her outfit today, Hao Ying was dumbfounded.

Everyone knows what Hao Ying means to Qiao Lan.

Some of his buddies used to laugh at Hao Ying, who would have thought that Hao Ying would also have a time when he would be around girls, and try to chase after them every day.

But if this girl is Qiao Lan, it's no wonder.

After today's walk in the square, the original not very active school bar is almost exploded, the whole school knows the name of the school beauty, when the selection of jokes on the post were up, the new replies in nine out of ten are all nominated Qiao Lan.

There was a senior who just came over to ask about it specifically.

It's no wonder that Hao Ying, who was quite calm before, brushing up on her favoritism in front of Qiao Lan every day, can't sit still now.

The meat and potatoes are so hot right now, Hao Ying is anxious.

Hao Ying and Hao Ying good relationship with a few buddies know Hao Ying, usually seem to be leisurely, but when it comes to business is very decisive, may be ready to have some big action recently.

Tan Mo Look Qiao Lan quickly ran out of the playground, around the surrounding railings, and appeared in front of the car in less than a minute.

She bent down and knocked on the window. Tan Mo slowly lowered the window and watched as Qiao Lan's face came into view bit by bit, the first thing he saw were his favorite eyes, then to his nose, to his perfectly shaped lips.

She was slightly unfamiliar with her makeup on, but the smile on her face was still familiar.

Qiao Lan smiled and greeted Uncle Chen, and turned his head to speak with Tan Mo, "When did you come? You didn't tell me earlier."

"Just arrived," Tan Mo said, watching Qiao Lan get into the car and take the seat next to his own.

Usually when they went out or came home together, Qiao Lan would sit next to him, and in earlier times they even stayed in the same room to read and talk. Tan Mo only knew that he liked the feeling of being in the same space with Qiao Lan, and that he always felt more relaxed and comfortable when he was with Qiao Lan.

But lately, at some point, the feeling of being with Qiao Lan has changed little by little.

Tan Mo is too slow to perceive changes in feelings and emotions, and even when she realizes something is different, she doesn't know exactly what it is.

Until today, he saw such a stunning Qiao Lan, he is not the first time to know that Qiao Lan is good-looking, but it is the first time because of her good-looking, and the heartbeat can not stop speeding up.

And now, Tan Mo somehow felt that the space in the car was so small that it was hard for him to breathe. He liked to look at the other person's face and eyes when he was talking, he looked at Qiao Lan as usual, but after meeting Qiao Lan's eyes, as if he was burned by a spark, he was a little overwhelmed and hastily moved his eyes away.

The line of sight accidentally shifted downward and landed on Qiao Lan's white and thin waist, Tan Mo's fingers trembled, and when she looked down again, it was two extremely beautiful long legs that were exposed.

The spark felt like it had burst into flames, and Tan Mo, unable to recognize his own emotions in the moment, looked away and closed his eyes.

Her heart was too confused to organize herself clearly, Tan Mo could only change the subject by instinct, but she still didn't dare to look at Qiao Lan.

"Is there a game in the morning," Tan Mo says at random.

"There is, at eleven o'clock," Qiao Lan said, glancing out the window of the car, where the multi-jump competition on the far edge of the playground had begun, "the eight hundred meter preliminaries."

"So what now" Tan Mo has no idea what he's talking about, it's like a machine that goes along with the conversation.

"Bai Yu brought playing cards and took a place on the lawn next to the school building, saying that they would play cards together later", Tan Mo didn't know what he was asking, but Qiao Lan answered seriously, and after answering and having a new idea, she suddenly grabbed Tan Mo's arm and exulted, "Tan Mo, do you want to play cards with me? "Tan Mo, do you want to play with me."

The people who asked her to play poker are a few friends with very good relations, Qiao Lan certified friends, character is still guaranteed, Tan Mo and their acquaintance is very good.

Tan Mo stiffened, lowered his head eyes to Qiao Lan's white arm, and refused stiffly, "I won't."

"I'll teach you if you don't know how," Qiao Lan thought it was no problem at all, "You're so smart, you'll surely be able to learn it after watching it once or twice, and we're two families, so I'll teach you how to play it when the time comes."

Tan Mo's heart slightly trembled at this phrase "our two families", while hesitating, Uncle Chen in front of him cheerfully said, "I think it's good, playing cards is quite interesting, young master has learned it, and when Lanlan comes here in the future, we can also play at home. I think it's good, playing cards is quite fun.

Tan Mo is silent for a moment before finally agreeing.

Qiao Lan was very happy, but before playing cards, she still had to change out of these clothes, take off her makeup, go back to the dormitory and come back after all the packing, Tan Mo looked at Qiao Lan who was back in her school uniform, and her eyes finally dared to fall on her again.

However, when he looked directly into Qiao Lan's eyes, he subconsciously tried to move his eyes away.

On the other side, Qiao Lan had been gone for nearly half an hour, and Hao Ying Bai Yu and the others had already played several rounds of Landlord, playing as if they were particularly lively, but in fact Hao Ying was a bit distracted, glancing back from time to time.

When she finally saw the person she wanted to see come back, Hao Ying was stunned because the person who came was not alone.

Qiao Lan left alone, but came with one, Tan Mo.

Tan Mo's arrival caused a momentary silence, probably because no one expected Tan Mo to come to school during the field day, but after a few seconds of silence, they were busy saying welcome.

Bai Yu moved a table on the ground next to the lawn, surrounded by a circle of people, now Qiao Lan came to make room for Qiao Lan, Hao Ying looked at Qiao Lan and Tan Mo's face for a long time, and finally landed on Qiao Lan's face, and thought to herself, "After removing her makeup, she is still so beautiful.

Another deck of playing cards was removed, "Two more people then another deck of cards, Qiao Lan do you want to sit here?"

"No need", Qiao Lan moved a chair and sat next to Tan Mo, "I'll just sit here, I count Tan Mo and I as one person, what were you guys playing before, Fight the Landlord?"

"Ah yes, Fight the Landlord", a boy looked at Qiao Lan and Tan Mo a little more before continuing, "Qiao Lan, how are you at poker? Are you good? If you are good, hurry up and get Hao Ying down, it's impossible to play."

There are a lot of people playing, we agreed, who lose who play, Hao Ying from the beginning of the game has never gone down, not only do not go down, every time you win the pimp is also very painful.

Hao Ying looked at Qiao Lan with a smile on his face, Qiao Lan did not look away and smiled faintly, "I'm not very good at it, I just know how to play it", said he turned his head to Tan Mo and whispered, "I'll play a couple of games first, you can see it and learn, it's very simple. "

Tan Mo let out a "hmm" and turned her head to look in Hao Ying's direction, only to meet Hao Ying's eyes.

Hao Ying froze and smiled at Tan Mo, whose eyes darkened as she looked away and returned her gaze to Qiao Lan's hand.

There were a lot of people around, Qiao Lan sat close to Tan Mo so that everyone could sit down, and in order for Tan Mo to understand, she even moved a little bit sideways to Tan Mo's side, so that the two of them were so close that their arms rubbed against each other, causing the students next to them to look at them twice more.

Qiao Lan did not feel anything, she said she played a general point did not modest, she rarely play these things, the landlord also just know how to play it, get the card is not very good, the card is also general, Hao Ying grabbed the landlord a person to play two people quickly won the card off the class.

Playing cards isn't the point, the punishment is, especially now that the punishment has turned out to be Qiao Lan.

Another girl covered her arm and asked Hao Ying to hit her more gently, Hao Ying gave her a finger and the crowd said that Hao Ying didn't know how to take care of her, and when Qiao Lan came next, the crowd who knew Hao Ying's mind started to boo.

Qiao Lan extended her arm without any hesitation, but Hao Ying just lightly touched her arm with her finger, and the crowd's clamor grew even louder.

"Hao Ying, you're treating it differently."

"You weren't like that just now."

Hao Ying looked at Qiao Lan with a smile in her eyes, and turned back to scold her with a laugh. Qiao Lan slightly knitted her head, took a deep breath and withdrew her hand, and when she picked up the card again, she was next to Tan Mo's arm, and felt Tan Mo's stiff body.

Qiao Lan turns to Tan Mo and asks if he's not feeling well, and Tan Mo shakes his head and says he's fine.

The second game begins, and after three minutes, Qiao Lan loses again.

Hao Ying usually plays too many cards, and compared to the students who don't play much, it's just like bullying. Qiao Lan received another light pimp slap in the midst of the uproar, and when the third game started, a pale hand suddenly took the cards in Qiao Lan's hand, and Tan Mo spoke without expression, "I'll do it. "

The crowd was instantly quiet again, and someone muttered in a low voice, "Who dares to hit Tan Mo if he loses, and isn't afraid of hitting something."

"He loses on me," Qiao Lan blushed, raising an eyebrow at the man, "Okay?"

The man who spoke looked at Qiao Lan, then at Tan Mo, and finally at Hao Ying, and frowned and stopped talking.

Hao Ying stared at Qiao Lan and Tan Mo for a while before skillfully shuffling the cards, frowning but not saying anything after all.

When the game resumed, Qiao Lan stared at Tan Mo's fingers, which were even prettier than those of the girls in the room, and when she got tired of sitting there, she put her arm on Tan Mo's wheelchair and watched him play.

"The cards suck," Qiao Lan whispered to Tan Mo.

"It's okay to fight," Tan Mo said.

Qiao Lan laughed, "Of course you're okay with it, I'm the one who's getting beaten up, properly."

Tan Mo looked at her and whispered, "No."

Qiao Lan looks at Tan Mo's bad hand and Qiao Lan thinks it's over.

As it turned out, Tan Mo started the first hand and gave the landowner a block to give another farmer a hand, and in the end the farmer won.

Then Qiao Lan realized what Tan Mo meant by "not going to".

On the second hand, Tan Mo took the landlord and held the other player to two cards with a great hand.

On the third hand Tan Mo purposely didn't want it, fooled another guy into taking the landlord, and then was caught by Tan Mo and cleared the board in two.

Qiao Lan was dumbfounded.

At first, everyone just thought Tan Mo had a good hand, but after Tan Mo broke Hao Ying's winning streak and monopolized the game, Bai Yu finally put down his cards and rubbed his red wrists with a heartfelt sigh, "I'm going to jump off a building if I ever play poker with a school god again."

Hao Ying next to the buddy are convinced, not that will not play it, will not play to complete this?

Qiao Lan stayed for a long time and asked Tan Mo in a low voice, "I thought you didn't know how to play.

"Indeed not," Tan Mo said, "can count cards."

Qiao Lan: "......"

The crowd played a few more games, Bai Yu looked at the time and turned his head to Qiao Lan, "Lanlan, it's almost 10:30, don't you have to go check the record."

"Time to go then", Qiao Lan stood up, "You guys keep playing, I'm going to check in."

Hao Ying dropped the cards in his hand and stood up along with him, "I've had enough of playing for so long, I'm going to the supermarket to buy some things and go over to watch the game together, are you guys still playing?"

"No more games", Bai Yu several girls naturally went to watch the Qiao Lan game, Hao Ying several boys went to the direction of the supermarket.

Qiao Lan bowed his head and said with Tan Mo, "Tan Mo, let me send you to Uncle Chen first."

She'll have to go to the competition later and won't be able to manage Tan Mo.

Tan Mo "hmm", took out his cell phone and dialed Uncle Chen's number, not long after Uncle Chen rushed over, Qiao Lan was relieved to run to the playground.

Qiao Lan had just entered the playground, but she ran into Qiao Yuan.

Qiao Yuan, who had not seen Qiao for half a year, had grown fatter and fatter, rushed over and grabbed Qiao Lan's arm under the astonished gazes of the crowd, "Come over with me."

Bai Yu frowned thoughtlessly as he pushed the little fat man away, "Who ah have a disease."

"I'm her brother", Qiao Yuan returned impatiently, he had just been fooling around with his classmates, and a couple of boys had egged him on to bring Qiao Lan over.

Looking at Qiao Lan closely, he was still shocked at how much Qiao Lan had changed, but he didn't have time to be shocked, his classmates were still waiting over there, and Qiao Yuan didn't want to waste time with Qiao Lan, "Go, go, go, go, go, go over there to meet my classmates."

Qiao Lan jerked her arm out with unconcealed disgust on her face and turned away, "No go."

"I've promised my friends that I'll take you there, and I'll have to buy them dinner if you don't go."

Qiao Lan stopped, suddenly laughed and turned back to say, "Then please ah, you stole money before to buy them dinner is not once or twice," Qiao Lan was in a good mood, the moment he saw Qiao Yuan steeply bad, do not want to waste time with Qiao Yuan, "If you dare to make trouble again, I dare to tell your friends where you got the money from. Qiao Lan was in a good mood when he saw Qiao Yuan, but he was suddenly upset and didn't want to waste time with Qiao Yuan. "If you dare to make a scene again, I'll dare to tell your friends where you got the money from."

Saying that, he no longer cared about Qiao Yuan, who was green with fear, and walked with Bai Yu towards the playground.

Tan Mo on the other side looked at Qiao Lan's back from afar and finally walked away, never said a word, after a long time Uncle Chen tried to ask him, "Why don't we also go and see how Lanlan runs I'll see if I can go up on the other side of the stage, there are fewer people there."

Tan Mo looked up over the stands and nodded.

Uncle Chen pushed Tan Mo to the grandstand area, Tan Mo sat on the high ground and finally saw the check-in finish standing on the starting line.

She wasn't wearing her school jacket, a loose white short-sleeved top, and stood at the far end of track one, talking to Bai Yu, who was even more nervous than Qiao Lan, next to her.

The people surrounding her were obviously much more numerous than the others, Tan Mo recognized many of them as her classmates from Class 18, as well as many boys she didn't know, the most eye-catching among them was Hao Ying, who had just left but came back, and two minutes later, even Chen Yaoyang appeared on the playground, watching from afar with Li Fan.

A couple of boys were sitting behind Tan Mo playing a game when they looked up and suddenly said, "Why is this place so busy and crowded all of a sudden? Isn't that Hao Ying? Hao Ying is running?"

"Run my ass, can't you see it's a women's race?"

"Then what's Hao Ying doing here?"

"Probably depends on who's racing."

Who to see?

"Qiao Lan ah", gossip can never be hidden, especially from the so-called popular people in the school, and a few of the boys sitting behind Tan Mo, coincidentally, are students from the class next to theirs.

"Hao Ying's been chasing Qiao Lan lately. I fucking knew about it. Didn't you guys know?"

Tan Mo's body froze abruptly.

In the distance, shots rang out.

The track is even more lively than it was just now, filled with students on both sides of the track, Bai Yu running behind Qiao Lan and shouting cheers, while a figure quickly passes by.

The boy is tall and handsome, wearing a black t-shirt, the style is simple but he wears extraordinarily stylish, the two long legs to open up quickly overtook Bai Yu, causing the girls next to him to turn back frequently.

Hao Ying is running with it.

Hao Ying, who has never been chased, takes the initiative to run with a girl.

No matter how many girls were envious and jealous, Tan Mo's swirling, coaxing mind had only one thing to say.

Hao Ying is chasing Qiao Lan, don't you know.

He doesn't know.

It was only at this moment that Tan Mo suddenly realized where the inexplicable and strong hostility she felt towards Hao Ying came from.

But the next moment, Tan Mo had only one thought.

Tan Mo was stiff, his hands clenched together, and between them he couldn't stop tingling from squeezing so tightly.

Qiao Lan was fast, she stayed in first place and was the first one to the finish line. Tan Mo watched the boys coming after her and quickly rushed over to her, unscrewing the cap of the bottle and handing her the water in her hand.

He couldn't run with her, he couldn't even stand up, and he couldn't go up to her and hand her a bottle of water because there were so many people around her that he couldn't even get close.

They were talking and laughing, so close together, and he was the only one sitting here, far away, pulling away.

A few of the boys behind him stopped even playing the game and talked about the gossip.

"I really didn't expect Hao Ying to take the initiative to chase someone, how many girls chased him before and didn't say yes."

"Hao Ying really likes Qiao Lan, the girls who used to chase him must be heartbroken."

"Qiao Lan, a girl like that, she's a good student and pretty, so honestly it's normal to like her."

"Hao Ying is so obvious, what does Qiao Lan mean?"

"I don't know, I think I like them too, I heard that they have a good relationship, after all, Hao Ying is so handsome, right?"

It was still the Athletes' March in my ears, so loud, so noisy, but for a moment, Tan Mo couldn't hear anything in his ears.

After I don't know how long, maybe five, maybe ten seconds, hearing was restored again with a bang.

It was like something in his head, a boom.

Hao Ying is chasing Qiao Lan, Hao Ying likes Qiao Lan.

His inexplicable hostility was not at all motivated by possession of his friend.

Possessing, owning, that doesn't describe friendship at all.

Friendship is like what everyone once wrote in their essays, they all said that friendship is selfless friendship sharing.

Possessing, possessing, and not allowing a third person to intervene in the space is never friendship, those are the two words Tan Mo dared not think or say after he realized it abruptly.

That's love.
