Chapter 50: Wish

When Qiao Lan and Bai Yu returned to the dormitory, Xiang Xiaohan was arguing with another girl named Yan Mei.

Qiao Lan lives in a dormitory of eight people, but it can be divided into more than three or four small groups, living under the same roof, but the best relationship is not necessarily the dormitory, and every day there will be a little bit of friction.

But it's rare to have a direct fight like this.

When Qiao Lan and Bai Yu entered the dormitory, there were two girls in the dormitory in addition to a few people from the dormitory. These were Xiang Xiaohan's friends from the first year of high school, and I heard that not only were they in the same class in the first year of high school, but they knew each other from junior high school, so they were on very good terms with each other.

Xiang Xiaohan would often bring these two girls to the dormitory, and as they came more often, Qiao Lan would nod and say hello when she saw them.

Now Xiang Xiaohan and Yan Mei were quarreling, the two girls looked embarrassed, and Qiao Lan and Bai Yu listened for a while to understand why they were quarreling.

The students who made it into Class 18 were once the top students in their own class, but when they got together and entered the second year of high school, they weren't necessarily the best or the second best anymore. In the dormitory, Qiao Lan had the best grades, after all, he was the second best in his class, Xiang Xiaohan had the worst grades, his grades were in the middle and lower reaches of the 18th class, but he was still able to get into the top 200 in his age, Yan Mei and Bai Yu were about the same, both in the middle of the upper reaches of the middle class, but Yan Mei was a little better than Bai Yu.

But Yan Mei is undoubtedly the hardest worker, right up there with Qiao Lan in senior year.

Yan Mei comes home from class at the end of the day, and does a little more work before she goes to bed at noon and at night, but Xiang Xiaohan brings his best friend back to the dormitory, where the three of them chat loudly while getting high on melon seeds.

Xiang Xiaohan's relationship with the other members of the dormitory is not too good, so these two girls often come to Qiao Lan's dormitory, which is usually fine, but today Yan Mei was there, and she couldn't concentrate because of the noise, so she asked Xiang Xiaohan to lower her voice, and Xiang Xiaohan didn't know what she said, so the two of them got into a fight.

By the time Qiao Lan and Bai Yu came back, they had been arguing for half a day, and the argument had escalated to Xiang Xiaohan saying that the dormitory had ostracized her, and even her best friend was not allowed to come, and Yan Mei directly disliked Xiang Xiaohan, saying that you don't have a clear idea of why you were ostracized.

Xiang Xiaohan's entire face went black.

Xiang Xiaohan sometimes really doesn't understand, since she just came to this dormitory, she tries to get along with everyone, but in the end, everyone doesn't appreciate it.

Yan Mei is probably Xiang Xiaohan a belly of fire, recently held a long time, today have the time to burst out, said just know and class boys gabbing, in the classroom is not even, back to the dormitory mouth full of said and their own no relationship with the boys.

"It's not even if you're not good at studying yourself, you have to disturb others to make them follow you are not good, I said several times not to bring the other classes to the dormitory, can't you see that I'm reading a book?"

Xiang Xiaohan also got angry, immediately sneered and said, "Every day so hard, the results do not see how good, if you have the ability to be like others Qiao Lan, there is the first grade every day tutoring, casually learn to be able to test the second grade."

Qiao Lan who just walked in without saying a word: "......"

Xiang Xiaohan was gossiping behind the back, but when she turned her head, she saw Qiao Lan who was coming back, the scene was as embarrassing as it could be. Xiang Xiaohan's face stiffened, being watched by so many people, especially Qiao Lan, she suddenly remembered Tan Mo's care for Qiao Lan, but also remembered Tan Mo's cold threats to her, instead of feeling guilty for being caught, she became more and more resentful of Qiao Lan, and she became annoyed with Qiao Lan and developed a twisted mentality that everyone was bullying her, leaving a sentence "I've had enough", and directly leaving the dormitory. Leaving a sentence "I've had enough", directly left the dormitory.

After Xiang Xiaohan and his two classmates went out, Bai Yu was speechless, "She's had enough of what? I've had enough of her."

We are all sixteen or seventeen years old, we all have the ability to tell the difference. Xiang Xiaohan is warm on the surface, but behind the scenes he talks too much about others. We are all students in the top class, only thinking about studying, only Xiang Xiaohan is focusing on inquiring about who has a good family situation and pleasing the boys every day.

Yan Mei was finally happy after her fight with Xiang Xiaohan, half-excited by Xiang Xiaohan's clumsy attempts to stir up trouble, but a bit confused, she asked Qiao Lan, "Why did she bring you up all of a sudden for no good reason?"

"Who knows", Bai Yu said, "She's been targeting Qiao Lan for more than a day or two, she really thinks everyone else is blind and can't see anything."

"Qiao Lan, why is she always targeting you."

"I don't know," Qiao Lan said, and a few others were puzzled as well. Bai Yu said after a long moment of fun, "Maybe she likes Hao Ying and is jealous of Qiao Lan..."

Qiao Lan frowned and didn't say anything, she intuitively felt that wasn't the case, and when she recalled Xiang Xiaohan's words just now, she brought Tan Mo's name along while undermining her.

Qiao Lan was very sensitive to everything about Tan Mo. In retrospect, Xiang Xiaohan mentioned Tan Mo very often in the dormitory and often asked her about Tan Mo from time to time, and Qiao Lan was also distant from Xiang Xiaohan because of Tan Mo, as Xiang Xiaohan kept asking her if Tan Mo's family was particularly well-off. Qiao Lan's estrangement from Xiang Xiaohan was also due to Tan Mo, because Xiang Xiaohan kept asking her if Tan Mo's family was particularly well off.

Although everyone was very curious about Tan Mo, no one was ever as interested as Xiang Xiaohan, Qiao Lan suddenly remembered that day when Tan Mo personally handed Xiang Xiaohan that unknown document, Xiang Xiaohan's face changed after reading that document.

Tan Mo said that it was something that someone from the outside class wanted to give to Xiang Xiaohan, and he was just responsible for passing it on. Qiao Lan didn't think much about it at the time, but when she thought about it later, she only felt that there were a lot of mistakes and omissions.

Tan Mo had never been the kind of person who would offer to pass something on for someone, and Xiang Xiaohan became terrified after reading the document, and that terror was clearly directed at Tan Mo.

So something must have happened between Xiang Xiaohan and Tan Mo, good or bad, always unknown to Qiao Lan.

It made Qiao Lan a little uncomfortable, as she had never had any secrets between her and Tan Mo since they met, but now Tan Mo was hiding them from her.

This feeling also makes Qiao Lan uncomfortable.

It's not that she won't let Tan Mo make other friends, but if this person is Xiang Xiaohan ...

Qiao Lan was suddenly a little unsure, and in the afternoon, Qiao Lan turned her head to Xiang Xiaohan's side, and then turned back to Tan Mo and asked him in a low voice, "Tan Mo, if you don't like it when we switch to this side."

"No," Tan Mo says decisively, answering without even thinking about it, suggesting that he means it.

Qiao Lan breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a moment and then asked, "So do you think Bai Yu or Xiang Xiaohan is better."

At the sudden mention of Xiang Xiaohan's name, a stern look flickers in Tan Mo's eyes.

Tan Mo had never been so disgusted with a person, so disgusted that he clearly perceived the meaning of disgust, he had never been so disgusted with a person.

But he also dislikes Bai Yu, a girl who is Qiao Lan's best friend of the same sex, and who takes away too much of Qiao Lan's attention and time.

But if I had to choose one, Tan Mo said after a moment of silence, "Bai Yu."

Qiao Lan was relieved.

She didn't want to ask Tan Mo what had happened with Xiang Xiaohan, and as long as Tan Mo didn't want to talk about it, Qiao Lan wouldn't force him to do so.

With that behind her, Qiao Lan suddenly realized that Tan Mo's birthday was coming up.

Qiao Lan is half a year older than Tan Mo. Tan Mo's birthday is in October and Qiao Lan's is in July. At first, Qiao Lan deliberately called Tan Mo "Momo" like Auntie Chen did, but Tan Mo wouldn't let her do it, so Qiao Lan said, "I'm a few months older than you, so why can't I be called Momo? Qiao Lan said, "I'm a few months older than you, why can't I call you that?

Tan Mo thought stupidly for a while, but did not come up with a reason to refute Qiao Lan, Qiao Lan was adorable by his rare stupidity, and finally stopped bullying him for not calling him "Momo" like Auntie Chen.

Last year, when Tan Mo's birthday came around, Qiao Lan had just gotten dressed here, and Tan Mo still didn't say a word to her, so Qiao Lan naturally didn't know Tan Mo's birthday. Now that Tan Mo's birthday is coming up again, Qiao Lan is still trying to think of a good gift for Tan Mo.

Qiao Lan's eyesight is not very wide, Qiao Lan thinks that he is just a commoner, and finally decided that it is better to ask Tan Mo directly.

Tan Mo had noticed that Qiao Lan was lying on the table, neither reading nor sleeping, but keeping her eyes open and wondering what she was thinking.

What was she thinking, could there be a moment of thought that had something to do with him?

Even though she has already seen her extravagant feelings, Tan Mo is a bit greedy and can't help but think so, even if it's just a little bit, after all, Qiao Lan doesn't know what's in his heart yet, and he still has a certain amount of weight in her heart.

But I didn't want the girl to turn around.

This class was a study hall, everyone was studying, Qiao Lan lowered her voice and called out to him, saying, "Tan Mo, your birthday is coming up soon."

Tan Mo was stunned.

Turning her head to meet Qiao Lan's black pupils, her heart beat violently, and she somewhat uncontrollably wanted to ask, "Is this what you've been thinking about when you've been staring blankly?

But in the end did not dare to ask out, but did not want to Qiao Lan like read Tan Mo's expression as explained, "I just thought for a long time, can not think of what to give you a gift, buy expensive I can not afford to buy, cheap and not much heart, and finally really want to come up with it, so want to ask you directly, do you have what you want ah. "

So she has been dazed is thinking about this thing, Tan Mo chest is like a little bit of ironed hot.

Tan Mo suddenly feels overly greedy.

There was a time when no one cared to come close to him, and he yearned for the day when there would be such a person. Then Qiao Lan came along, and she was so good to him that he should have been satisfied, but instead he couldn't help wanting to be closer to her, and even wanting to have her for himself.

In fact, it should have been satisfied a long time ago, is not it, is that he wants too much too greedy, so live so painful.

Tan Mo shook his head and said, "I wouldn't have guessed."

There was only one thing he wanted, but it was a luxury he would never dare speak of, and Tan Mo couldn't really think of anything else he wanted.

"Let's take our time and let me know when you come up with something, and I'll surprise you on your birthday when I do," Qiao Lan said, adding, "Let me know when you come up with something, as long as I can afford to give it to you."

You can't afford it.

Tan Mo wanted to.

I want your whole life. You don't have to give your whole life away for someone like me.

But Tan Mo nodded and said yes.

Qiao Lan smiled, her eyebrows arched, still the same look that made his heart flutter, she took out the headphones from her school bag and put them on to start writing her homework, after writing two strokes she looked at Tan Mo for a second, took off her headphones and asked him, "Do you want them?"

Tan Mo froze.

... What... To be or not to be.

Qiao Lan hands him the headphones in his right ear, "Do you want to listen to a song together, the class is so noisy."

Tan Mo wanted to reach for it, of course he did, but still with Qiao Lan said, "Listen for yourself."

Wear one headset and it will still be loud.

Isn't that easy?

Qiao Lan took out a pair of earplugs from her book bag, which she had bought specifically for the dormitory, as some people snored.

Tan Mo looks down at the snowy, fluffy little sponge ball and reaches out to take it.

The noise of the class was cut off, and he and Qiao Lan listened to the same song, as if they were the only two people in the same space that the others didn't know about, and couldn't hear anything else but the lyrics of a song he'd never heard before in his headphones, which were clearly audible.

"I want to see you laugh, I want to play with you, I want to hold you in my arms... Do you know the only thing I want..."

Tan Mo lightly covered the spot where his heart had been as he suddenly thought about what he wanted for his birthday.

He couldn't afford to ask for her whole life, so wasn't it okay to ask for a hug, just like the lyrics say.

One at a time.
