Luo Qiqi came to school, and her deskmate Zheng Yuxia asked her if she was okay when she went home. Luo Qiqi told her that it was okay and that she was used to it. Luo Qiqi glanced at Sister Lan, who walked over and wanted to chat with her, but she didn't agree. She and Lin Xin discussed going skating together after school, and Luo Qiqi followed them to the skating rink. When they finished playing and were about to go home, Luo Qiqi followed them again. Lin Lan couldn't bear it anymore. She came to Luo Qiqi angrily. She told Luo Qiqi not to think that she didn't dare to take action. Luo Qiqi said that it was not like she had never done anything. , she just couldn't beat herself.
Luo Qiqi told Lin Xin and the others that this was her and Lin Lan's business. It was none of their business and told them to leave quickly. Lin Xin and the others had already wanted to leave. Lin Lan asked the two of them to try walking, but they were not afraid and Lin Lan insisted on leaving. Luo Qiqi and Lin Lan were left alone. Lin Lan asked her what she wanted to do. Luo Qiqi told her that she didn't want to cause trouble in school. She wanted to study hard. From now on, they would go back to their own way and no one would be involved. Lin Lan told her that her mother had helped her drop out of school. Luo Qiqi was very shocked when she heard it. She had no idea. She instantly felt like she had been poured cold water on her heart.
After returning home, Luo Qiqi asked her mother if she had helped her drop out of school, and her mother had to admit it. Even so, Luo Qiqi did not obey her mother's arrangement of going to the factory. She told her mother that she would not go to the factory even if she went out to wash dishes. The two had a falling out again, and Luo Qiqi came to the cinema to apply for a job. The boss thought she was too young and didn't want her, but he agreed because she was quite smart. Luo Qiqi came to the game hall to look for Xu Xiaobo, but Xu Xiaobo was not there. She saw a child sitting on a stool not far away who looked very much like her when she was a child. She couldn't help but walked over, gave the child a lot of food, and talked with her. He chatted for a while.
Xu Xiaobo saw Luo Qiqi waiting for him. He came over and asked Luo Qiqi if the exam was about to take place. Luo Qiqi didn't know how to answer him, so he had to nod calmly. Xu Xiaobo continued to say that if she read the review materials he gave her, she would definitely be able to pass the exam in the middle or upper reaches. Luo Qiqi didn't know how to tell Xu Xiaobo that her mother had already dropped out of school for her. Luo Qiqi asked Xu Xiaobo if he was tired in his third year of high school. Xu Xiaobo told her of course he was. Luo Qiqi asked him why he persisted if he was so tired. Xu Xiaobo said that he liked to stay in school because it was very simple and quiet. He encouraged Luo Qiqi and hoped that she would study hard.
Luo Qiqi did not dare to tell Xu Xiaobo that she had dropped out of school. She was afraid that he would be angry and even more afraid that he would be disappointed. Luo Qiqi came to the classroom to study alone. When school was over, she came to find Xu Xiaobo. She told him that her hair had grown longer and asked Xu Xiaobo to cut it for her. When cutting his hair, Luo Qiqi told him about dropping out of school. Xu Xiaobo was very angry. He asked Luo Qiqi what he thought. Luo Qiqi told him that she didn't want to listen to her mother's decision to join the factory, and that she could go out to work and make money. Xu Xiaobo was very angry. He asked Luo Qiqi to go home now and tell her parents that she didn't want to drop out of school. Luo Qiqi didn't want to and the two had a dispute. Luo Qiqi left angrily.
Luo Qiqi came to the bus station and wanted to leave this place, but when the conductor asked her where she was going, she had no destination. She sat on a stool at the bus station and stared at the clock for a long time. She thought of the happy times she had when she was a child at her grandfather's house. She thought of her grandpa cutting her hair, making jack-o'-lanterns for her, making her favorite stir-fried dough balls, and her childhood good friend Xiaofei. She thought of her grandpa telling her stories at night, and she fell asleep on his lap while listening. Everything was going well, but one day her mother came to pick her up.
