Boyfriend like No. 17

  Han Qi felt a bit depressed.

  He thought that after Tong Xiaomi formally accepted him, things would be a little different. But in fact, he still didn't have much opportunity to be alone with Xiaomi, let alone get close to her. Most of the day was spent in class, and for meals, only breakfast was eaten together, but even then it was rushed. The rest of the time was spent eating with a big group of people while chatting. He had even gotten a bike specifically to take Xiaomi to and from school, but unfortunately, Aijin and Naiqiao always tagged along. The only times they could be alone were after lunch and dinner, but Xiaomi would occasionally play piano for him, and most of the time she would hurry back to the classroom to do homework or get caught up in various things with other people. As for weekends, he couldn't even get a date with her, it seemed like her weekends were busier than school days, and she always had all sorts of reasons to turn down his invitations: going to grandma's relatives' house, going to mom's friend's house, making plans with Aijin to do homework together, making plans with Naiqiao to go shopping, making plans with Tonghua to buy books...

  Han Qi felt that apart from occasionally giving her a peck on the cheek, he was no different from her ordinary friends. If there was any difference, it was that he was her exclusive errand boy and porter.

  I really don't know what he is in her heart.

  That day, there was again a big group of people eating lunch together in the cafeteria.

  "Xiaomi, aren't you guys going on a spring outing in a few days for your first year of high school?" A girl with jet-black hair tied back into a thick ponytail asked while holding her chopsticks during dinner.

  "It seems so." Tong Xiaomi ate a mouthful of the small white vegetables that Han Qi had given her, then frowned and looked at him, "Not delicious..."

  "Picky eater!" Han Qi gently tapped her forehead with his finger, then stood up and said, "I'll go buy fried bananas and milk tea." Having fried bananas and milk tea after lunch was a fixed combination for Xiao Mi's meal.

  "Hey, being a first-year high school student is great. Why do only first-year students get to go on spring outings? Last year we went to the science museum and it was so boring. I wonder where you guys are going this year?" The girl with thick braids took another bite of her food, then gazed up at the ceiling with a look of longing.

  Xiaomi ate while shaking her head to indicate she didn't know, and didn't care if others saw her shake her head.

  "Sister Xue, isn't it mid-term exams after the spring outing?" Nian Qiao asked with a mouthful of food.

  "It seems to be. It's like after the spring outing is over, it's the May Day holiday, and after the holiday is over, it's time for the mid-term exams." The thick ponytail girl who was called "学姐" (senior sister) said slowly. Her name was Ye Dongling, a student in the high school science class. Because she didn't believe the rumors circulating among everyone about "Water No. 1 Middle School Sunshine Beauty" taking photos with anyone who asked, she had once asked Tong Xiaomi to verify it, and as a result, she got Tong Xiaomi's bright smile and several photos of them together. So she asked Tong Xiaomi how she was so cooperative, and this little girl replied with a frank face, "Hehe, I'd rather cooperate than have ugly photos taken secretly!" At that time, Ye Dongling thought this little girl was quite lovely, and after interacting with her several times, she found that Tong Xiaomi had no guard against people at all, so naturally became friends with her. It seemed that many people in each grade were like this, from strangers to acquaintances, from unfamiliarity to familiarity, from dislike to liking.

  The most exaggerated is her neighbor, Le Fei, a third-year high school student in the science department. Coincidentally, on the day of the mock exam, he took a photo with Xiao Mi, and coincidentally, his performance was exceptionally good that time, advancing by more than ten places at once. Since then, he has regarded Tong Xiaomi as his lucky goddess, always opening his phone to worship her photo before exams or tests. What's strange is that his grades have never declined since then, but instead have been steadily improving. As a result, a wave of "Lucky Tong Xiaomi Fever" swept through the third-year male students, with some believing in its effectiveness and others using it as an excuse to find beautiful girls to take photos with. In short, it's said that Tong Xiaomi's photo has basically spread to every third-year male student's phone.

  "Now that the spring outing is over, it's time for the mid-term exam... Why does this arrangement sound like a huge conspiracy to me!" Ai Jin said in the tone of a foolish police officer solving a case in a domestic crime movie.

  Everyone is rolling their eyes. Do we still need to say it's a conspiracy? This is obviously an open plot. The school's arrangement is very clear: this is your last happy time...

  "Sister, do you have any reference materials that you no longer need and are suitable for first-year high school students?" Tong Hua asked in a sweet and polite voice.

  "I think we should have some. But our teacher said that summer supplementary lessons will start reviewing the first year of high school curriculum, so maybe I won't be able to lend it to you. Let me ask them if they have any for third year students. They probably don't need them anymore." After finishing speaking, Ye Dongling put down her chopsticks and started focusing on eating her lunch which had gone a bit cold.

  "Hey, here you go, the milk tea is a bit hot, drink slowly." Han Qi put the milk tea and fried banana in front of Xiao Mi, and took the opportunity to kiss her forehead.

  "Outrageous!!" The crowd protested.

  "I said, can't you not show off how loving you are every day?" Ye Dongling had an expression as if she had eaten a fly. From the moment she met Tong Xiaomi, there was always a handsome guy following her around, who should be Xiaomi's rumored boyfriend, Han Qi. In her opinion, Han Qi was considerate and gentle, always putting Xiaomi first, making him a model boyfriend. It's just that the occasional intimate scenes they put on made this pure and innocent high school girl feel a bit unbearable.

  "Can't take it? You can leave, no one invited you to eat together." Han Qi said lightly, with a hint of displeasure. This was his true feelings. Xiao Mi didn't know that refusing was enough, why did these blind followers not know to retreat?

  "Oh no! Someone's going to monopolize Xiaomi!" Aijin exclaimed in surprise, just like the little man in his oil painting "The Scream".

  "Cut it out, thinking you can monopolize, dream on. Firstly, there are four of us from Class 2, plus our senior sister (Ye Dongling is also from Class 2, Grade 2), and only you're from Class 7; secondly, there are five girls here, and only one guy, which is you. No matter what, it's you who should leave." Ni Qiao said ruthlessly.

  Han Qi knew that he didn't need to argue with the girl, but the fire in his heart was still burning fiercely, and the color of his beautiful eyes was getting deeper.

  "Oh no! The male lead is angry!" Aiqin slapped one hand against the other, then picked up her plate and laughed at the others, "I'm so scared, hurry up and hide!"

  "I... I've finished eating too. Bye, senior, I'll head back to the classroom first." Tong Hua also picked up her tray and left.

  "Bye bye." Ye Dongling continued to eat her lukewarm lunch slowly, waving at Tonghua with the hand that wasn't holding chopsticks, and then looked at the two people staring each other down across from her, waiting for a show.

  Nobody moved. Only the heroine in the play slowly divided her fried banana into four parts and distributed them to the plates of the four people.

  For a long time we maintain our positions, the enemy does not make a move, I do not make a move.

  Suddenly, Ni Qiao swallowed the banana given to her by Xiao Mi in one bite, stared wide-eyed at Han Qi and said vaguely: "I ate it first! Goodbye!" Then she picked up the tray and walked towards the return of the meal with big strides, walking out of the cafeteria with a heroic spirit.

  Han Qi clenched his fists and restrained himself from overturning the table.

  "I'm done." Xiaomi closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and bowed her head in reverence to the dinner plate, "Thank you, Han Qi classmate, for preparing such a sumptuous lunch for me."

  "Mischievous." Although annoyed, he couldn't help but smile and tapped her forehead. Alas, he was indeed unlucky, being squeezed out by others yet unable to get even a bit of support from his own woman.

  "Hehe." Still with the same clear and bright smile, she didn't notice his loss.

  Han Qi sighed helplessly.

  What is he to her after all? Maybe just a stranger who sticks to her. She never showed much liking for him, did she?

  Is it possible that without him, her days would be just as sunny and happy? To her, he seems to be worth less than air.

  Silently, Han Qi felt a little tired of his current self and his relationship with Tong Xiao Mi.
