Chapter 293: Looking for Canary, Don’t Come to Me

Chapter 293 If you want to find Canary, don't come to me

There are already more students in the school. School will start in two days, and almost everyone who needs to go back to school has already returned.

Several roommates from East 2 Dormitory have returned. Everyone has a lot of luggage. Chen Xi returned a day earlier than them and cleaned up everything.

Wen Yuanyi and Yang Shijun arrived in the morning, and their things were still where they were. They took a shower and lay on the bed chatting. Chen Xi leaned back in the chair and read a book, occasionally interjecting.

This was the scene Qiu Huoming saw when he opened the door.

"Sergeant, you're back!" Chen Xi immediately turned his head and looked over when he heard the noise.

Qiu Huoming responded, then closed the door, put down his luggage, opened his backpack, carefully took out the little black cat curled up in the bag, took a few quick steps, and placed him in the cat bed under the head of the bed.

Wen Yuanyi exclaimed and quickly jumped out of bed, "Dandan has grown up..."

Dandan stayed in the nest. It still remembered the smell here and was sniffing around.

Qiu Huoming said to Wen Yuanyi: "Don't worry about it today, let it get used to it first."

"I'll take this thing back and let everyone try it... it's really useful." Yang Shijun was still reluctant to let go and moved his hand away.

Yang Shijun had already stood up. He squatted on the ground, took out the walkie-talkie from his bag, and placed it on Qiu Huoming's desk.

Qiu Huoming coughed and said shamelessly: "Don't worry, if you don't agree, I will ask again tomorrow."

Without Shan Fang, the troublemaker, Qiu Huoming felt a little happier.

"Auntie always praises you..." Zhao Jiamin said with a smile as she glanced at Qiu Huoming after walking out of the dormitory door.

He had been here several times last year and was already a familiar face. Qiu Huoming greeted him with a smile and then took out a walkie-talkie from his bag.

"That's right. I heard that this kind of thing happens frequently in other dormitories. I also heard that a senior student sneaked in wearing girls' clothes..."

After they responded, Qiu Huoming walked out with peace of mind.

“How can a little girl use the same thing as we men…” Without even raising his head, Qiu Huoming opened the outer casing of Zhao Jiamin’s machine and wiped the inside again. Then he stopped, squatted down, and began to pack his luggage.

Qiu Huoming took out a soft cloth and wiped the walkie-talkie carefully.

"Could you please bring this to Xiao Zhao and ask her to come down?"

After a while, Zhao Jiamin came down carrying a lunch bag.

Qiu Huoming's old face turned slightly red, and the dormitory manager had already stepped onto the stairs.

Wen Yuanyi then stopped and reluctantly returned to the bed. He then reached into his bag and took out an oil-paper bag and handed it to Qiu Huoming, "This is a specialty of our island."

Qiu Huoming stretched out his hand to stop him, "Not today, I'll give the intercom to Amin first."

Qiu Huoming was surprised, "So open..."

Qiu Huoming put Zhao Jiamin's walkie-talkie in his schoolbag, picked up the lunch bag, and first bent down to touch Dandan's little head. It was not afraid, but looked up at Qiu Huoming, with a pair of golden pupils that were particularly dazzling.

Qiu Huoming's hands trembled, and he quickly returned the oil paper bag to Wen Yuanyi, "Thanks, I can't eat this."

"Okay, I'll take it up." The dormitory aunt took the intercom, walked out three steps, and turned to look at Qiu Huoming, "You look really good, young man."

"There are so many things to do that I forgot about it. It's better for the county magistrate to take charge now. Once the relationship is established, it will be much more convenient for me to come to you in the future. But she is still very enthusiastic."

I haven't been back to campus for a long time, so it still seems a little unfamiliar. Qiu Huoming walked out of the East 2 Dormitory, walked onto a path, and began to walk north. Ever since Zhao Jiamin moved to a new dormitory, Qiu Huoming had fewer opportunities to see Shan Fang.

Zhao Jiamin laughed and said, "You are scared..."

As his body grew up, and as appearance reflects the heart, his overall appearance is indeed more elegant than when he was a teenager.

"You are so cunning."

Yang Shijun quickly explained: "It's very clean, I wiped it..."

Zhao Jiamin glanced at Qiu Huoming and said, "You're right. She is very responsible. Last time, a senior sister wanted to bring her boyfriend in, but she chased her out..."

Qiu Huoming looked at Zhao Jiamin, who was smiling sweetly. She just walked under a big tree. The surrounding light and shadow were mottled. Her appearance was imprinted in Qiu Huoming's eyes. As if possessed by a ghost, he suddenly held her hand and said something without thinking:

"Be my girlfriend."

"Hey, let's go together..." Chen Xi pushed the chair away and wanted to follow with his lunch bag.

“Betel nut…”

Zhao Jiamin's face suddenly turned red. The noon sun illuminated the path clearly. Occasionally, other students passed by. On the blue brick path, there were unknown wild flowers growing in the cracks. On the big tree above her head, there were birds singing...

Qiu Huoming looked around and saw that there was no one else around, so he lowered his voice and said, "You may not know, last time I fixed her radio, I also gave her two extra batteries..."

Qiu Huoming took it with a smile: "What is it?"

Qiu Huoming threw two small dried fishes into its food bowl, then he straightened up. Feeling uneasy, he reminded them to close the door when entering or leaving.

"Later, make one for yourself. If you don't understand something, ask me. I'm considered a skilled worker." Qiu Huoming patted his shoulder and said with a smile.

After a while, he stood up and looked at his watch, "Oh, it's time for dinner. I'm going to eat."

Yang Shijun was delighted. "Okay, when school starts, I'll go get the materials and make one myself..."

The shade of the tree covered a little of each other's figures, and the other half was in the sun, with shadows of varying depths.

Arriving at Beiyi, before Qiu Huoming could say anything at the dormitory door, the dormitory auntie smiled and said, "Xiao Qiu, are you here to look for classmate Xiao Zhao?"

Zhao Jiamin covered her mouth to hold back her laughter, and after a while she asked, "You never told me about this."

"..."

Yang Shijun reached out and pulled Chen Xi, "Come with us to eat..."

"Ah."

Qiu Huoming was stunned for a moment and stopped walking.

"What did you say?"

Zhao Jiamin turned her face away, her fair face was already covered with red clouds, her red lips were so beautiful and tempting, she said "hmm" again.

Qiu Huoming was overjoyed, his heart seemed to jump to his throat. After being stunned for a moment, he suddenly said: "Then I will belong to you from now on, you can control me as you like..."

After saying that, he felt that what he said was too stupid. Just as he was about to make amends, he heard Zhao Jiamin look up and say, "Okay..."

At this moment, the corners of Qiu Huoming's mouth rose almost uncontrollably. He raised his arms and held her in his arms. He smelled the fragrance in Zhao Jiamin's hair. Zhao Jiamin stretched out her index finger and pressed it against his chest, preventing him from moving any further.

She said angrily, "Qiu Huoming!"

Qiu Huoming quickly came to his senses and loosened his arms, "I was wrong..."

Zhao Jiamin's expression finally eased a little. "Humph, you just said you would listen to me, but now..."

Qiu Huoming held her hand again, "I was wrong, you can beat me up if you want, are you hungry? From now on, I will pay for your meal card..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Jiamin pulled her hand out. She raised her head and looked at Qiu Huoming with a serious face.

Qiu Huoming's heart skipped a beat.

The girl said with a straight face: "I don't want you to pay for my meal card. I have my own money. We can both treat each other or give gifts, but I can support myself... Don't say these things again in the future."

"I'm not a canary. If you want to find a canary, don't mess with me..."

Qiu Huoming saw her surprised look. He was used to joking around, but he didn't expect that his sweetheart would be so serious about this matter.

He had never seen Zhao Jiamin like this before, but this made him love and respect her more.

"Well, I will never say this again. I like you because you are independent and have your own ideas. You are the best girl I have ever met..."

He said these words almost without thinking, as if he had practiced them a thousand times.

Seeing his serious expression, Zhao Jiamin snorted and said, "I'll forgive you this time."

Qiu Huoming breathed a sigh of relief. He carefully stretched out his hand and called out pitifully, "Amin..."

Zhao Jiamin's fingertips turned slightly white. She blushed and reached out to hold Qiu Huoming's hand. She turned her face away and said, "I'm hungry..."

"Then I'll treat you to lunch, and you'll treat me to dinner..."

"Ah."

Qiu Huoming felt as if he had eaten an ice cream in the summer or drank a bowl of hot soup in the winter, and his heart was warmed.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, their relationship was exposed under everyone's eyes.

The group of male students who admired Zhao Jiamin looked at Qiu Huoming with a hint of "hatred of having his wife stolen from him"...

If everyone's eyes were like knives, Qiu Huoming would have been covered in wounds.

He doesn't care about all that. Considering the situation in the School of Engineering where there are more wolves than meat, the most important thing is to establish relationships as soon as possible. He is not afraid of competition, but he finds it troublesome.

Chen Xi had already prepared the meal and was eating in a corner with Wen Yuanyi and Yang Shijun.

Suddenly Wen Yuanyi kicked his foot and his mouth pouted outward. Chen Xi turned his head to look over.

Qiu Huoming had already let go of her hand at this moment. He was serving food to himself and Zhao Jiamin. The two of them had eaten together many times and knew each other's tastes very well. He was very familiar with serving food.

After the food was ready, they went to find a seat side by side. Chen Xi stretched out his arm and shouted, "There's still room here..."

Before Wen Yuanyi could stop him, Yang Shijun also shouted, "Come on..."

He went even further, walking straight to an empty table next to him and standing there. Seeing this, several students who were about to sit down immediately turned around and walked away.

Qiu Huoming smiled and said to Zhao Jiamin: "Let's go, they have reserved the seats for us."

After they sat down, they ate and chatted. Yang Shijun talked about the things in their village. Qiu Huoming and Zhao Jiamin were listening attentively when they heard Zhang Song's voice from behind, "Everyone is here. There is an empty seat. Please squeeze in..."

Wen Yuanyi immediately stood up and pulled him to his table.

Qiu Huoming looked at Zhang Song for a few seconds and asked, "Something's wrong with you. Did you have a fight with someone?"

Zhang Song looked rather miserable, with a bloodstain on his forehead and bruises on his cheeks, neck and exposed arms.

After asking this, others also noticed it. Chen Xi said in surprise: "It's true, Zhang Song, who the hell bullied you? We brothers will help you get back at him..."

Zhang Song sighed, "My dad..."

Chen Xi quickly changed his words, "Forget it, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I can't really do anything about this father beating his son..."

"From now on, he is not my father anymore, and I won't go back..." Zhang Song started eating his food with big mouthfuls.

He seemed to be venting without even raising his head.

Everyone was startled. Qiu Huoming and Zhao Jiamin looked at each other, and Zhao Jiamin said, "His mother..."

She and Qiu Huoming thought the same thing, and Qiu Huoming gave her a thumbs up. There were many people here, and Zhang Song looked like he didn't want to talk more, so he simply didn't ask.

Anyway, if he wants to say it, he will know it sooner or later.

"You should eat slowly. No one is going to snatch the food from you..." Chen Xi asked a few times but got no reply. He looked at Zhang Song's eating posture and immediately became furious.

"What's wrong with your father beating you? You don't have to keep your relationship forever, do you?" Yang Shijun advised in a simple voice, "My father's beatings hurt me more. Last time, I was lazy while planting rice and he broke a bamboo as thick as a finger..."

Qiu Huoming was shocked. He had almost never been beaten by his parents at home. Of course, this was also because Chen Suniang doted on the children. Qiu Jianshe wanted to beat them, but he didn't dare.

"You know shit." Zhang Song suddenly raised his head and the light shone over him. Qiu Huoming could see clearly that his eyes were bloodshot, as if he had been up all night for several days.

Yang Shijun was so frightened that he simply kept silent.

Chen Xi said in a bad tone, "Why? You've been so upset after being advised by others. You're so angry..."

Zhang Song had almost finished his meal. He stood up and said, "I'm full. I'm leaving now..."

Everyone looked at his back as he left.

Yang Shijun was puzzled and asked, "Did he take the wrong medicine? I thought about it, and I didn't say anything..."

"Maybe something happened in his family." Qiu Huoming explained: "Wait a few days, when he feels better, we will go and ask him."

Yang Shijun nodded, "I hope it's nothing serious."

After dinner, Qiu Huoming sent Zhao Jiamin back to the dormitory. Halfway there, he saw Zhang Song leaning against a big tree by the lake. He half-closed his eyes, looking at the sparkling lake water, his body motionless.

Zhao Jiamin pointed at him and said to Qiu Huoming: "Something is wrong, you should go and persuade him."

Qiu Huoming nodded, "Let's go together."

"Ah."

When he got closer, he found that Zhang Song was crying. Qiu Huoming was in a dilemma for a moment. He simply pretended not to see it. He slapped Zhang Song on the shoulder and said, "Talk to me, don't keep it in your heart..."

"Ten years of life and death are so vague, I can't forget you even if I don't think about you..." His voice was choked with sobs, and he uttered this poem inexplicably.

"I dare not say it..." He squatted down along the tree trunk, "I am a coward, I dare not say it."

"Are you protecting your father?" Qiu Huoming's voice was very soft, but it sounded like thunder in Zhang Song's ears.

Zhang Song suddenly raised his head and asked in a low voice, "Did you guess it?"

"Well, if you don't tell me, I won't tell you either. It's just... you have to figure it out yourself... Anyway, this isn't your fault..."

"I... am a coward."

"I don't dare to punish my father, nor do I dare to avenge my mother... When I was a child, she was very kind to me. She would sing to me to sleep..."

Zhang Song's eyes were empty, his tears not yet completely dried, "If only I didn't know..."

Then he shook his head again, "If she didn't know, no one would burn paper for her during festivals..."

"I escaped. I have no home anymore. This is true. My brothers..." He snorted coldly, "They have also been assimilated. I will never go back to that broken place..."

Qiu Huoming almost knew the truth of the matter from his few words. He turned his head and looked at Zhao Jiamin.

Zhao Jiamin sighed, "I heard about similar things when I was in the countryside..."

She looked at Zhang Song. He was burdened with both blood debt and blood feud. It was no wonder that his emotions were unstable.
