Chapter 46: Rumors

Qiao Lan made it to the afternoon finals after competing in the morning preliminaries.

At lunch time, Hao Ying and a few other boys from the class asked them to go to lunch with them, Bai Yu had a look on his face like I knew it, and was about to encourage Qiao Lan, but Qiao Lan immediately refused, saying that she had some things to do back at the dormitory, and that she would just let them go with her.

Bai Yu took a look at Hao Ying, who was not hiding her disappointment, and then at Qiao Lan, who didn't seem to be in a good mood, and decided to go back to the dormitory with Qiao Lan.

When the others had gone, Bai Yu asked Qiao Lan if she was in a bad mood.

"Not really", Qiao Lan said, just a little upset.

Qiao Lan hasn't seen Qiao's family for half a year, and when she suddenly bumped into Qiao Yuan today, Qiao Lan couldn't help but feel annoyed, if it wasn't for the law, she would really want to move her account out of the Qiao's family's account book, and have no relationship with them from now on.

After chatting with Bai Yu for a while, the conversation came to Tan Mo.

Bai Yu had only been in close contact with Tan Mo for a while today, and thought back and said to Qiao Lan, "It's really like you said, Tan Mo doesn't look easy to contact, but in fact there's nothing to be afraid of."

"Yeah," Qiao Lan laughed, "I never understood what you were afraid of him for, he's not scary looking."

"Not scary, not scary, overly good looking, really, after looking at it up close for a while today, I don't think Tan Mo's face is any worse than Chen Yaoyang's or Hao Ying's."

"It was pretty, and you didn't even realize it."

"It's not too late to find out", Bai Yu Road, just suddenly sighed, "so suddenly some sadness, good-looking and so smart, I heard that the family conditions are also particularly good, if the legs do not have a problem to stand up, the girls in the school to chase him absolutely have to line up. "

Qiao Lan's eyes dimmed when she heard this.

If he could stand up, and if he didn't have Asperger's, he'd certainly be more popular than Chen Yaoyang and Hao Ying.

Many people say that God is equal, but in reality, where is the equality? Qiao Lan couldn't find any trace of God's favor in Tan Mo, who was autistic, physically handicapped, grew up with divorced parents, and his mother died in a car accident when he was growing up, as if all the misfortunes had befallen him.

But what did Tan Mo do wrong.

No one knows better than Qiao Lan how kind and innocent Tan Mo is.

If only Tan Mo would get treatment.

Bai Yu looks like a big-hearted girl, but in reality, she is still a girl who listens to her heart carefully. Seeing Qiao Lan's tone a bit low, remembering the scene this morning when Qiao Lan brought Tan Mo here, after holding her tongue for a while, she really couldn't hold it in and said, "Lanlan ah, I'm really curious, why are you so good to Tan Mo. "Lanlan, I'm really curious why you're so nice to Tan Mo."

Not to mention the usual, just today at the card game, Qiao Lan's attitude towards Tan Mo was too close even for her to see, Qiao Lan was caring for Tan Mo in almost everything, Bai Yu didn't even take care of his own brother like that.

Even if you feel pity for Tan Mo and feel intolerant, there is no need to go this far, if Tan Mo is a normal person, Bai Yu is a bit skeptical about the relationship between Qiao Lan and Tan Mo.

However, Qiao Lan heard Bai Yu's words and asked her, "Do you think I'm good to Tan Mo."

Without waiting for Bai Yu to speak again, Qiao Lan continued, "But what I did was nothing compared to how good he was to me."

Not counting what?

Bai Yu was dumbfounded, and only after a long time did he tentatively ask Qiao Lan, "What did Tan Mo do?"

What did Tan Mo do to make Qiao Lan say such a thing?

Did what.

Qiao Lan thought for a while about helping her make money, giving her Christmas presents, deliberately not taking the exams to give her the scholarship, helping her with her lectures every day, showing up just in time to take her in when she had nowhere else to go, and believing in her with all her heart.

"There are too many to count," Qiao Lan said, "If I had to say, it would be that if it wasn't for Tan Mo, I probably wouldn't even be able to go to school right now, my grades wouldn't be so good, and my life would be a mess right now."

If it wasn't for Tan Mo, she would still have to think of ways to make money every day, and it would be very hard to live a full life every day. If it wasn't for Tan Mo, maybe she would still have to put up with Qiao's family people in order to live, and continue to live in that stifling environment, and be on edge every day.

Bai Yu never thought that Qiao Lan was treating Tan Mo out of sympathy and pity, but he didn't realize that so much had happened between them.

"Tan Mo, he's very important to you, isn't he", Bai Yu suddenly said after a long time.

"Of course," Qiao Lan smiled, "very important."

Coming into this world from her original world, she had no family or friends, and in that stomach-churning family and cool class, Tan Mo was the first person to actually be nice to her, and the best person to her in two lifetimes.

Tan Mo is the one person in the world she cares about the most, the most important.

The school games flowed quickly, with the preliminaries just running in the morning and the finals in the afternoon.

After running in the morning, Qiao Lan felt not quite right, in addition to Bai Yu, a few people in the dormitory and many people in the class mentioned Hao Ying's name in front of her, and later realized that Hao Ying accompanied her when she ran, and the bottle of water that she drank at the end of the run was also specially bought by Hao Ying.

Qiao Lan has a headache.

She had just finished running and was surrounded by her classmates. When someone handed her water, she thought it was prepared by her class for all the athletes, so she drank it without thinking too much about it.

She didn't even know Hao Ying bought it.

Previously, Hao Ying often came to her with questions and ran to her side, Qiao Lan felt that there was something wrong, but at that time Hao Ying was still quite subtle, so Qiao Lan did not say anything, after all, we are all very good friends, Qiao Lan felt that she stayed detached can always let Hao Ying understand the meaning.

As a result of today's incident, anyone who knows Hao Ying and knows her probably knows what Hao Ying means, and not only do they know, they may have misunderstood something.

Qiao Lan felt that she had to find time to talk to Hao Ying, to strangle this little seedling before it grows up and before too many people know about it.

But plans can never catch up with changes, the last day of the end of the Games, that is, the day before the eleventh vacation, because there is no need to attend classes do not need to go to the evening study hall, these two days, both classroom management and dormitory management are a lot looser. Coupled with the girls No. 1 dormitory in the past two days, there are several classes moving dormitory, from the second dormitory moved to the first, in order to move faster, so the class of boys are allowed to enter and exit the girls' dormitory to help the girls move things.

Hao Ying took advantage of this opening and went straight for a high-profile display of love.

On the evening of September 30th, at the entrance of the dormitory where people come and go, under the eyes of the rest of the boys who are shocked and the girls who are madly envious, Hao Ying directly held a large bouquet of fiery red roses and blended into the girl's dormitory, and in the midst of the dormitory aunty's shouts of hindsight, he delivered the flowers to Qiao Lan's dormitory.

Such a blatant behavior of sending flowers to express their love for each other is already an explosive topic, and because the main character of this incident is Hao Ying, the explosion degree of this incident can no longer be described as explosive. The girls passing by Qiao Lan's dorm room were envious, and even the girls in Qiao Lan's dorm room were all exclaiming that Hao Ying was too daring.

Qiao Lan happened to be away that day, and when she came back, the flowers were still on the table, and everything had become unexplained.

If Hao Ying escorting is still a small-scale commotion, then wait for the flower delivery, the whole school up and down know that Hao Ying is chasing after that stunning school beauty in the sports meeting, bold and active to make people incomparably heartbroken.

Even Tan Mo knows about it.

With repeated and increasingly high-profile displays of affection, Hao Ying makes Tan Mo understand the meaning of liking and the intense and complex psychological stimulation that accompanies it.

He was finally able to distinguish from the simplest annoyance the layer upon layer of clearer feelings within it.

Anger.

Jealousy.

Crazy.

When Tan Mo first understood what it was to like something, the first time he felt the taste, it was bitter.

When Qiao Lan came back from vacation in November, what was waiting for her was not the upcoming first monthly exam, but her homeroom teacher, who had been holding her breath for a week.

Hao Ying this time made too much noise, even the class teacher has heard of his student's sensational deeds, and then heard that this person is Hao Ying, is even more furious.

Qiao Lan and Hao Ying were called to the office by their homeroom teacher when they came back from the 11th vacation.

The homeroom teacher was very "snobbish", and her attitude towards students with good grades and those with poor grades was a million miles apart. She spoke to Qiao Lan in a gentle voice, and finally listened to Qiao Lan say that she definitely did not want to fall in love in high school, and even more so did not have any plans to fall in love with Hao Ying, and then let her go in a satisfied manner. After hearing Qiao Lan say that she has absolutely no intention of falling in love in high school, let alone with Hao Ying, she was satisfied and let Qiao Lan go back.

Then when Hao Ying went there, the anger she had been holding all week exploded in her head.

Almost everyone in the entire building that day heard the classroom teacher's rant.

"Don't bring down my good students if you don't learn yourself!"

Hao Ying was lectured in the morning study hall, and almost all the students in the class were looking at Qiao Lan. A few of her friends in the class who were still on good terms with Qiao Lan, and even Pei Ning in class 28, sent tweets asking if Qiao Lan was with Hao Ying.

Qiao Lan is in a bad mood.

This state of being unable to speak for herself annoyed her to no end.

She couldn't figure out what she had done wrong, whether she had given Hao Ying a hint that made Hao Ying misunderstand, or whether Hao Ying was just too confident, thinking that no girl would reject him.

That's why they chose such a high-profile approach.

There was too much gossip, and what upset Qiao Lan even more was that many people believed it to be true.

Tan Mo had just arrived at school when she saw Hao Ying walking out of the office with a downcast look on her face. When Hao Ying saw Tan Mo, she nodded her head as a greeting and went into the classroom.

Tan Mo looked at Hao Ying's back and suddenly remembered the way Hao Ying accompanied Qiao Lan in running, the photo of Hao Ying striding into the girls' dormitory with a flower in her arms, and the unknown students commenting, "What a good match" underneath the photo.

The roses were fiery red, red and blinding.

Two simple words, but more piercing than a rose.

For a moment, Tan Mo suddenly didn't want to walk into that classroom.

He stopped in the hallway outside the classroom, half a day later, he saw the lively students suddenly exclaimed, that he did not want to go into the classroom, Qiao Lan and Hao Ying walked out of the classroom one after the other.

The crowd's shrieks, the suppressed screams, all filled Tan Mo's ears.

Where they went, what they went to do, and what they had to say.

Tan Mo doesn't know. He doesn't dare to think.

He recalled in a trance that Qiao Lan had once whispered that she found it annoying that Hao Ying came to her every day with questions, but then he remembered the chiseled words of the others.

"Will Qiao Lan accept Hao Ying?"

"Definitely."

"That's Hao Ying."

"Who can say no to Hao Ying."
