Chapter 204: He Laughs on the XX
Chapter 204
On Wednesday's college mental health public class, Xiao Qi skipped it.
She did something all college students would do, already becoming a mature college student, learned to skip class.
At lunch time, she went directly to tell the vice class monitor Yue Lai, asking leniency.
Generally for this kind of class, the class committee would turn a blind eye.
As long as enough people show up to barely pass inspection.
Vice class monitor Yue Lai was quite easy to talk to, even asked with a laugh: "Going on a date huh?"
"No, part time work to be thrifty." Xiao Qi answered frankly.
After being classmates for a while, although not as familiar as dormmates, since there weren't many girls in the class, vice monitor Yue Lai stood out quite a bit, Yue Lai was from Meng City, family background should be well off too, kind of influential, very nice to students with good backgrounds, just so-so to students with average backgrounds.
But she got things done efficiently, Xiao Qi didn't know what category she fell into in Yue Lai's eyes, good or not, anyway she had informed her.
Xiao Qi skipped class to go to the horse ranch.
Probably because last night's Japanese class left too deep an impression, teacher Yamamoto, causing Xiao Qi to have a nightmare last night, maybe not a full nightmare, but she had been afraid of it since little.
In the dream, she went back to Guyu Village again, with classmates and teachers to participate in that help the elderly activity, walked into that pitch dark old house, the house was empty, after Xiao Qi went in, her classmates and teachers suddenly disappeared.
She was very scared and ran out, but when looking back, she could always see the old man sitting at the door of that old house.
After a while the old man turned into teacher Yamamoto.
Anyway when she woke up, her head was drenched in sweat.
The feeling wasn't great.
Even after a morning run, she still couldn't shake that feeling.
Everyone probably had a childhood nightmare.
So in the afternoon Xiao Qi skipped class to go to the horse ranch.
She felt doing physical work, interacting with animals, riding horses, seemed to be exceptionally relaxing, also giving her a pleasant feeling, different from running, running was emptying herself, but didn't have that feeling of joy.
This afternoon was for cleaning the stables, but because she and Wei Cheng came to work part time, they didn't need to clean everything like the first day, using up half a day, now they took turns cleaning.
As a result when Xiao Qi went to the stables today, she unexpectedly discovered her classmate Li Weijin was also there, working in the stables...
Young Master definitely wasn't here for part time work to be thrifty, if he had to do that, everyone at school would be screwed.
Young Master was Li Weijin's nickname, anyway after lights out, going around the girls' dorms, you could always hear gossip about him, everyone didn't address him by name Li Weijin, directly calling him Young Master, probably because he was good looking and rich...
Xiao Qi knew a lot of gossip about Li Weijin, for example, one pair of Young Master's socks cost several hundred yuan, and this guy, he didn't wash dirty socks, just threw them away...
Simply... unimaginably extravagant.
It was said Young Master's trash cans were LV's, Xiao Qi didn't expect to learn about luxury brands because of trash cans, also called donkey brands, it was said an LV small wallet cost four, five thousand yuan, so how much would a big LV trash can cost?
Anyway when Xiao Qi saw Li Weijin shoveling horse feed with a shovel, her first reaction was to look down.
Wanting to see if he really wore three hundred yuan socks, and she actually saw a corner of light green edged white socks, very white.
Working inevitably gets dirty stuff splashed on you, those white socks got some straws or something poked on them, looking very jarring.
Li Weijin was really working, looking up seeing Xiao Qi, he actually smiled for an instant.
Xiao Qi was startled.
To tell the truth, she seemed to have never seen Li Weijin smile before, always an icy appearance, hmm, she was very familiar with that feeling, high and aloof, looking in the mirror with that buff on her, that was the feeling, but buff was still buff, an acquired bonus, Li Weijin had that feeling intrinsically, oozing out from the bones, that kind of feeling.
But smiling now.
Xiao Qi only felt her heart thump heavily once.
At this moment, it was like going up the mountain with dad in the morning, originally reluctant and resisting, eyes still bleary from sleep, passing by a tea plantation, happened to look up, and saw in the thick fog, unexpectedly there was a mountain tea flower blooming.
The fog was white.
The flower was also white.
But you could still see that flower in one glance, covered in dewdrops, petal by petal opening, swaying gracefully, beautiful in an untouchable way, beautiful to the point of dizzying.
Xiao Qi had this feeling now, even felt a little dizzy, just felt he really lived up to the Young Master nickname, not smiling with innate aloofness and detachment, smiling brought out the feeling of dazzling sunshine all of a sudden, making you unable to help but like him, letting your guard down, just like the littlest horse at the ranch, the pink Little Shanhu.
A boy being prettier than a girl was just cheating.
Some people really were born at the finish line, perfect in every way.
Despite already having eight hundred complaints in her heart, heartbeat speeding up quite a bit, Xiao Qi still remained calm, this was also a skill honed growing up in Guyu Village, every time she went back to the village, the village elders talked too much, all kinds of words, Xiao Qi could only keep a stiff upper lip, remaining unruffled in the face of challenges.
"Hello, classmate, you're here too." Xiao Qi greeted.
"Brother Sheng Zhou said a qualified equestrian has to take care of his own horse, be able to clean the stable and bathe his horse for himself, so I'm trying it out." Li Weijin said.
He actually wanted to jump up and down now, and jump into Lake Enhua to wash off, the horse stable smell was too stinky...
But he had just discovered, when he smiled, although Su Xiaoseven didn't blush like other girls, she did pause for a bit before speaking to him.
It seemed, maybe, to be a little useful.
And right now in the stable there was only him and Su Xiaoseven.
No one else.
Li Weijin's heartbeat didn't quicken, his face didn't turn red either, but he felt itchy around his collarbones, didn't know why.
He usually didn't sweet talk girls, never had a relationship since childhood, this was equivalent to his first time actively approaching a girl.
He looked very calm on the surface, but was actually flustered inside, panicky to the extreme, even his hands holding the shovel were clammy with sweat.
"Is your horse Yin Ni? Very good looking."
Xiao Qi remembered the horse in this stable was a young chestnut horse, the name was also very nice, just called Yin Ni.
Coming here so many times, she was quite familiar with most of the horses at the ranch already.
Of course the most familiar ones were the ones she had bathed, Da Gu, Little Hui, Little Shanhu, Taylor.
Because she had observed them closely, interacted with them, so more familiar.
Yin Ni, would probably be in the next batch to bathe.
Today was a little late.
Li Weijin was very encouraged, feeling his strategy today wasn't wrong.
He continued working with the shovel.
Xiao Qi greeted him, then didn't say more, and started working.
As a result after she finished both stables, Li Weijin had turned his white socks completely black, still not done, messy all over.
This was originally Xiao Qi's task, so Xiao Qi went over and asked: "Want me to help out?"
Li Weijin nodded shyly.
Of course his shyness appeared aloof in Xiao Qi's eyes.
Xiao Qi first took out the feed bins and such, Li Weijin wanted to help, Xiao Qi quickly shook her head saying: "No need, no need, these are heavy, you can't handle them."
Li Weijin: ...
Just how weak did he seem in Su Xiaoseven's eyes.
But he didn't rush forward to take them, not fitting for his image.
Then he watched Su Xiaoseven divide by two three times five and somehow managed to clean half a day's worth of filth in the stable, which Xiaoqi had already tidied up nicely. The foul smell seemed to have lightened considerably with Xiaoqi around...
It wasn't his imagination - Xiaoqi had cleared all the horse dung away.
He really couldn't believe the young master was standing in a pile of horse manure, still managing to look so handsome...
