At four o'clock in the afternoon, when the sudden rain first broke, Qiao Siyue went out with her canvas bag on her back.

　　Not far out, Qiao Weiyi's voice came from behind.

　　Turning her head, it was his figure running towards her.

　　"Sister, eat candy."

　　He had a few colorful candies in his hand, wrapped in glass candy paper.

　　"I'm not eating."Qiao Si Yue stopped for less than three seconds, then two footsteps crisscrossed the room.

　　She stopped again, her tone unconsciously heavier, "Don't you follow me anymore."

　　"Then you eat candy."Qiao Weiyi tugged on the hem of her coat, those eyes still contained timidity, there seemed to be something else, Qiao Si Yue didn't see it.

　　"This is what I secretly hid, grandma doesn't know, sister, don't be afraid."

　　What did she have to be afraid of.

　　Qiao Si Yue exhaled a deep breath, half squatted down, leveled the line of sight with him, her palms spread out.

　　Qiao Weiyi's eyes lit up, busy putting the candy into her palm, "Sister must eat oh."

　　"Uh-huh."Qiao Shi Yue was scalded by his gaze, and somewhat uncomfortably averted her eyes, "You go back first, I'll come back after buying books and bring you popsicles."

　　After saying this, Qiao Si Yue's little thumb was hooked, raising her eyes to see Qiao Weiyi's eyebrows arched.

　　"All hooked, then sister can't back out."

　　Qiao Si Yue stood up and saw his bouncing back, her fingers tightened violently.

　　Only after a good half a minute did she raise her arm, palm facing upwards, the glass candy paper reflecting a dazzling light.

　　Because of this action, her gaze inevitably met a slender scar on the inside of her small arm.

　　Her skin was extremely white, making the scar even more obvious.

　　I forgot how long ago I was injured, only remembering that it was when Qiao Weiyi lost his temper with her and smashed the small scissors onto her.

　　At that time, Fang Huizhen only noticed the tears on Qiao Weiyi's face and didn't see the wound where she was cut out of blood.

　　As if she had been knocked heavily, Qiao Siyue's head began to hurt again.

　　Next to the pole stood the large green trash can, and Qiao Si Yue walked over to it, her arm raised in midair for a long time, so long that she couldn't hold it up any longer, and the air suddenly lit up with a soft thud.

　　-

　　Qiao Si Yue was still very unfamiliar with this part of the world, and it took quite a bit of walking before she found a bookstore.

　　Coincidentally, on the other side of the elevated area was Lin An Middle School.

　　Probably because school ended early today, there were already quite a few students in the bookstore, and Qiao Si Yue found the right area to carefully select her textbooks.

　　Suddenly, a clear female voice sounded behind her.

　　"Lin Yuwu's birthday is this week, what do you think I should get him?"

　　"He invited you to spend his birthday together?"The round-faced girl on the side asked.

　　"No ah, it's not like you don't know that he never spends his birthday."The long-haired girl smiled coyly, "I just think, we've all been classmates for a year now, it's not good to not give a gift on your birthday."

　　After this sound, ghostly, Qiao Si Yue couldn't look at anything anymore, the indentation of her fingernails on the paper film was obvious.

　　She casually grabbed an exercise book and spread it out, her eyes falling on the blank pages without stopping for an instant, and in about five seconds, she shifted back on her heels without a trace, and the two conversational voices became clearer -

　　"What's wrong with that ... Honestly, do you like him if you're paying so much attention to him?"
