Seeing the teasing look in Gu Xiaobei's eyes, Xiangmin lowered her head. She felt like Gu Xiaobei was a burr, prickly all over, full of mischief and quick-tongued. She had never gained an advantage over him.
At dusk, when Cheng Qijia and Guo Huaqiang arrived, they saw Qin Li leading a few kids in a game of jumping elastics in the courtyard. Qin Li's little ponytail bobbed up and down as she hopped from side to side; her small face was flushed from the heat. Her eyes gleamed with laughter as she urged the two girls to move faster.
Cheng Qijia slowed his pace involuntarily, watching the afterglow of the evening sun paint a layer of gold on Qin Li in her white skirt. His heart involuntarily fluttered.
Qin Li had no idea she was being watched. She looked at Dadong and Chen Gang who were holding the elastic. Chen Gang was always the serene one, standing still. Dadong, however, couldn't stay still, twitching and turning constantly.
