Don't Be Afraid, Senior, I'll Protect You

"Your name is Ai Xiaoya?"

Hearing someone calling her name, Ai Xiaoya turned around and looked at the extremely handsome young man.

This is her first day in high school, a freshman in this high school.

The extremely handsome young man next to him was his deskmate. He seemed very aloof and a little difficult to communicate with.

Ai Xiaoya lowered her head, then plucked up the courage to look at this handsome guy, and said shyly, "Yeah, what's your name?"

"My name is Shen Qiao."

Shen Qiao looked at the name on Ai Xiaoya's notebook and said with interest: "Ai Xiaoya, this name is very nice."

"Ah? You are the first one to say that my name is nice." Ai Xiaoya said in surprise.

Seeing the girl's confused look, Shen Qiao smiled slightly and said, "Ai Xiaoya, Ai Xiaoya, listen, don't these three words mean "love to laugh"?

Love to laugh?

Ai Xiaoya tilted her head. She had never thought about this matter in her sixteen years of life.

My own name actually has homophonic sounds.

"Since you love to laugh, why do you look so sad?"

Hearing this, Ai Xiaoya froze in her seat.

Why are you sad?

I don’t know, but I just have a very, very strong urge to cry.

But she found that she couldn't shed tears.

She seemed to have forgotten something very important.

But after thinking about it, I couldn't remember it.

After a moment, she shook her head and said, "Maybe it's because I have to live on campus in high school, and I feel a little homesick."

"I miss home."

Shen Qiao wanted to say something else, but the teacher had already walked into the classroom and started the first class for high school freshmen.

And Shen Qiao, who was originally not interested in women, didn't know why, but just met Ai Xiaoya for the first time, and became extremely gentle to her.

Ai Xiaoya always felt something was strange, but couldn't put it into words.

She felt like she knew Shen Qiao, but she didn't know the Shen Qiao in front of her.

Since high school, they have been going home once a week.

Coincidentally, her and Shen Qiao's homes were very close, so they could take the bus home together after school.

After leaving school, the two waited for the bus at the station.

Shen Qiao looked at Ai Xiaoya and asked, "You are a girl, do you go to school and after school by yourself?"

"yes."

Ai Xiaoya looked at the young man in front of her.

I have to say, he is really handsome. He was the high school varsity on the first day of school and received a lot of love letters.

But why is he so gentle to himself? It's their first time meeting.

Not long after, the bus arrived.

Because it was a student holiday, the bus was packed with people, most of whom were students.

But with the handsome guy Shen Qiao here, a female classmate who had grabbed a seat stood up and said with a blushing face: "I'll give you my seat..."

Shen Qiao did not sit down, but looked at Ai Xiaoya and said, "Xiaoya, go and sit down."

"Smiling?"

Ai Xiaoya wondered: "Why do you call me that?"

"Because of your name."

Shen Qiao has always been gentle, smiling every time he looks at Ai Xiaoya.

No one will refuse that sunny and handsome look.

Ai Xiaoya was just about to sit down, but she stopped her movements. She looked at Shen Qiao and said seriously: "This is the seat she gave to you, and it is someone else's seat. You can sit down by yourself."

She didn't know why, but she felt a vague sense of resistance towards Shen Qiao.

After saying that, she changed her position and came to another corner of the bus.

There was a dirty middle-aged uncle sitting on the seat next to him.

A few girls behind him were discussing the contents of a recently popular book.

This is a love novel called "Youth Continues", which is very popular. It mainly tells the story of the male protagonist who was arrested by the police and arrested by the female protagonist just after he entered college...

Um?

Why does she know the plot?

Ai Xiaoya tilted her head, somewhat confused.

She didn't remember reading the novel.

The middle-aged man next to him was leaning against the window, closing his eyes and concentrating.

The uncle was dressed in tatters, and there were a few words printed on his clothes, which proved that he was a courier by profession, and his face was full of traces of time.

Even so, it can still be seen that he was a very handsome man when he was young.

[Jiangcheng Medical University, here. ]

Hearing these words, Ai Xiaoya's expression froze.

The middle-aged man who was sleeping next to him opened his eyes.

Ai Xiaoya subconsciously looked at the middle-aged uncle and found that his eyes were very familiar, with an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

The down-and-out middle-aged uncle left the bus and walked towards Jiangcheng Medical University.

Ai Xiaoya followed subconsciously and was about to get out of the car, but was caught by a pair of hands.

She turned back to look at the person who caught her, and found that it was Shen Qiao, her handsome deskmate whom she had just met today.

"Smile, this is not your home. It's not time to get off the car yet."

Ai Xiaoya was slightly stunned. He looked at the arrangement of the station and found that this was indeed not the place where he should get off.

Her home is still six stops away.

But when did Jiangcheng Medical University appear?

Why is there no impression of this place in her memory?

Ai Xiaoya was thinking about this matter, and at this moment, the vehicle started again.

She looked through the window of the bus and saw the scene outside, and found the middle-aged uncle who was in despair just now.

In his sight, the middle-aged uncle met a very beautiful female doctor, and then the two walked into the hospital together.

At this moment, there seemed to be people around who knew this down-and-out uncle, and voices of discussion gradually began to spread.

"This man is so pitiful."

"Yes, he was originally a student at a prestigious university, but his girlfriend had a car accident after graduating from high school and became a vegetable. He chose to drop out of school and work to earn medical expenses for his girlfriend. Until now, it has been fifteen years and he still hasn't woken up. Come here, he’s done for the rest of his life, he’s completely dragged down by his girlfriend.”

After hearing these words, Ai Xiaoya also felt that this uncle was very pitiful. Perhaps because she felt the same way, she had an urge to cry.

Soon, Ai Xiaoya arrived at her stop and got out of the car.

She and Shen Qiao walked home side by side. Her home was further away, while Shen Qiao's home was on the way to hers.

"Where is your home? Let me take you home?" Shen Qiao said enthusiastically.

"No, we just met not long ago."

Ai Xiaoya shook her head. After Shen Qiao arrived home, she left here alone and prepared to return to her home.

When I got home, my mother was cooking and my father was sitting on the sofa watching TV.

Because it was the first time to live on campus and we hadn’t seen each other for a week, my mother cooked her favorite dish.

"Mom and Dad, I'm back!"

"Xiaoya is back."

Mom was wearing an apron and looking at Ai Xiaoya with a smile on her face.

Dad also looked at her.

Ai Xiaoya laughed. The moment she returned home, she felt everything was beautiful.

She threw her schoolbag on the sofa and said enthusiastically: "Mom, I met a handsome guy in school."

"Mom, high school is really tiring."

"Dad, stop watching TV and start eating."
