Su Qiang

I pulled the collar on my chest. My bra was torn and couldn't support my breasts. Although the round and firm part didn't sag at all, it was always indecent to see it dangling. I was going back to the dormitory building in a daze, and suddenly bumped into someone at the intersection. "Ah... yes, sorry..."

I said in panic. "Xiaoyu! Why is it you?"

A familiar voice sounded. I looked up and it turned out to be Su Qiang. "Su Qiang, you don't have eyes when you walk? Such a wide road, you bumped into me!"

I said to him angrily. "Hey, you blame me! You are the one who looks like you lost your soul, and you blame me for not having eyes."

Su Qiang said confidently. "I..."

I lowered my head, not knowing how to answer. "Xiaoyu? Did he bully you? The man just now?"

Su Qiang asked directly, so directly that it was embarrassing. "Don't mention him."

I said lightly, looking up at Su Qiang with tearful eyes. Su Qiang looked panicked and wiped my tears in a panic, saying: "Ah! Don't cry! What's wrong? Tell me, maybe my thoughts can enlighten you!"

He took me to the roadside flowerbed and sat down. "I won't say it. But you, why are you still here now? Didn't you ask Xiangxiang out?"

I don't even want to mention Robin now. Su Qiang laughed awkwardly when I mentioned Xiangxiang and said: "Well... When I called her, she said she would come down soon, but I waited for almost an hour. Damn it! Then she finally came out after much anticipation, and I spoke a little harshly, and she got angry..."

Speaking of this, Su Qiang scratched his head. "Nonsense, how can I not be angry? Xiangxiang dressed up meticulously to see you, took a shower and put on makeup! You don't know how to cherish! None of your men are good!"

Speaking of this, I suddenly thought of Zhang Han, who is not a good person either. The more I think about it, the more wronged I feel. I can't even find a man to rely on. What a sad thing it is. Thinking about it, tears can't help but fill my eyes. "Hey, why are you crying again..."

Su Qiang's helpless voice came, and then I asked a faint fragrance - heart to heart. Taking the tissue, I gently dipped it in my eye sockets, and suddenly Su Qiang laughed and said, "Haha, I told you to put on eyeliner, and now your eyes are blurry because of crying!"

Oh my god! What a pot that is not open! The makeup that was dressed up to see Robin has now become the object of ridicule. I really want to strangle Su Qiang! "Hello? You look so cold? What's wrong? Tell me, you'll feel better if you tell me... Well, although this sentence is a bit cliché, I may be able to help you."

Su Qiang is trying to comfort me. Maybe I don't need his comfort at ordinary times, but at this time I really feel so lonely, and Su Qiang is Xiangxiang's boyfriend, I can trust him, at least from the harmony between him and Xiangxiang and his meticulous and enviable care for Xiangxiang, it can be seen that he is a generous man. But I still kept silent, and let him comfort me before I spoke! "To be honest, your boyfriend has a bad temper..."

Su Qiang's voice came, and it felt particularly resentful, you know? It was as if he had suffered a lot of grievances before he sighed and said such a sentence, and more importantly, he got to the point. "He is not my boyfriend."

I said coldly, my face was as heavy as water, but I didn't want to cause misunderstanding, so I added the word "了" to indicate the completion tense. "Just now I saw you with him... Uh, forget it, I think he's just trash."

Su Qiang said with disdain. "Almost."

I smiled. Su Qiang suddenly remembered something and shouted: "By the way, I have two movie tickets here. I wanted to ask Xiangxiang to go, but she went back to her room in a bad mood. Why don't I invite you to go? By the way, I can cheer you up and relieve your anger. What's the big deal about breaking up? Besides, it must be you who dumped him! Come back and have a good sleep, and you will be a brave man again tomorrow..."

"Puchi" I laughed out loud. Su Qiang said very confidently that I dumped Robin, which made me very happy and excited, but I continued the conversation and said: "Who do you think is the brave man?"

After saying that, I twisted his ear. Su Qiang's words were very sophisticated. He first defined my breakup with Robin as the fact that I dumped Robin. This not only gave me face and dignity, but also affirmed my charm. It was a disguised compliment to me and made me happy. At the same time, because there was a layer of Xiangxiang between us, he couldn't be too ambiguous or out of line, so he added a sentence at the end that asked me to pick it out, so that he could naturally divert the focus of the topic. By the way, this kind of joke could make me less restrained and more relaxed as a single girl. At least that's what I thought. At the same time, it also satisfied him and made him laugh and joke. Robin didn't have anything to let go of, but after all, he was still very nice to me when he was pursuing me. Girls are easily moved, even strong women are no exception. This is the nature of women. After all, I was a little disappointed. To put it simply, the lack of a pursuer made me feel a little more lonely. No girl doesn't want to be the object of everyone's attention, and she won't miss such an opportunity even in her dreams. Along the way, Su Qiang and I chatted about everything from hometown customs to the latest news, from pop music to the release of blockbuster movies. Su Qiang is very talkative and not pretentious. This is my simple evaluation of what he said along the way. When we were almost at the cinema, Su Qiang suddenly came over and whispered in my ear: "Hey, are you not wearing underwear?"

When he spoke, he blew hot air into my ear, which made me shiver. "What are you thinking, Su Qiang!"

I twisted his arm and made him hiss and inhale in pain. I know that it is inevitable that my breasts will sway when I walk. If it weren't for the very elasticity of my two rabbits, they would really become breast waves... God knows if it would make a "pa pa" sound. I'm not sure Su Qiang can bear it, and I don't want to embarrass him. The movie was not good, and Su Qiang and I didn't have anything in the dark cinema. He looked at the screen without expression, and I played with my phone. This big comedy movie with a lot of publicity didn't make Su Qiang and I laugh at all. The low-brow stuff is really vulgar and corny as humor. Su Qiang also sighed: "Ah, I was fooled! I wouldn't have bought it if I had known it was so ugly... Fortunately Xiangxiang didn't come, otherwise she would have scolded me to death."

"Haha, you also know it's not good, but you still have the nerve to ask me to come! Xiangxiang is fine, but I'm still depressed!"

I said to Su Qiang with a smile. "Well, didn't I bring you here to relax, so you shouldn't be so fussy, okay."

Su Qiang smiled embarrassedly. "Tsk, did you buy the ticket for this show just to save money?"

I tried to catch his pigtail. "Sister! How can it be cheap... This is the price of a first-tier movie, sister, I'll call you sister, please let me go... No one appreciates doing good things when you're unlucky."

Su Qiang's pouting look is quite funny. "Go away, don't talk about those things that don't exist. I'll treat you to a barbecue when we get out, okay?"

Su Qiang couldn't help nodding his head with joy. But in the end, I realized that I didn't bring my wallet with me when I went out tonight... embarrassing. "Damn! I'm in your hands tonight. I'll go."

Su Qiang took the tissue I handed over and wiped his mouth, unable to hide his resentful expression. "What are you talking about! I'm in a bad mood and you don't allow me to vent properly. You are such a stingy guy..."

I wanted to add "Xiang Xiang is really blind" to tease him, but I didn't say it out loud for fear of going too far. Su Qiang was not happy when he heard people say he was stingy. He quickly cited many facts to show how righteous and heroic he was... Walking into the campus, we came to a fork in the road, to be precise, the fork in the road between the boys' and girls' dormitories, but Su Qiang still looked like he was walking with me. I saw that it was getting late and didn't want to trouble him too much, so I asked him, "Aren't you going to take that road when you go back?"

He pointed in the direction of their dormitory. "It's okay, I'll take you downstairs."

Just when the content of the language was a little ambiguous, he added, "As the holy monk said: Help people to the end, send Buddha to the west, Bajie, I will send you off!"

"Damn! How dare you say that I am Bajie!"

"Master, please stop. May I ask what the holy monk wants to do in the girls' dormitory?"

I put my hands together and nodded slowly. At the same time, I gave a faint and unfathomable smile to confuse the enemy. "What? I'm still cutting my waist!"

Su Qiang angrily hit me on the head, but accidentally hit my hair knot and messed it up. My fragrant hair fell down, and in the slightly warm evening breeze, a few strands of hair gently passed around my cheeks. I enjoyed this feeling very much. The hair gently caressed me like a good sister, which made me feel very comfortable. Su Qiang stared at me in a daze. Although he quickly came back to his senses, I still caught it. "How is it? Is my hair beautiful?"

I asked with a smile, and I wanted to laugh when I saw his silly look. "What's beautiful! Hair is not the same, you have it, I have it, and everyone has it. It's really beautiful when everyone looks good!"

Su Qiang said a lot, but still gave me an affirmative look. To be honest, that look made me a little flustered. After all, he is Xiangxiang's boyfriend, and I shouldn't be too close to him, otherwise I really feel sorry for Xiangxiang. The boyfriend helped me get rid of my depression because I was his girlfriend's close friend, but my behavior not only let Xiangxiang down, but also made him feel so tempted. Isn't it a serious sin? "Okay, I'm going upstairs. You should go back and rest as well!"

Before going upstairs, I turned around and said goodbye to him. Seeing Su Qiang smiling and waving his hand and gradually going away, I took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and pressed the elevator to go upstairs.
