On the last day of the library's new system test, Lin Jing met the legendary Xu Pei in the information building. He was wearing a pair of silver-rimmed glasses, and he was chatting with Liu Xu. He looked like an ordinary student, and it really didn't match up with the promiscuous image of "changing a girlfriend every month".
Sure enough, people cannot be judged by their appearance. Lin Jing filled out the test form and handed it to Liu Xu: "Brother, I'll go now."
"Today, Friday, you don't have to go to self-study." Liu Xu glanced at the time, "We're going to have something to eat, together?"
Because of Xu Pei's presence, Lin Jinghuai was a little curious about him—after all, Brother Lin is still very gossip, so he readily agreed.
The three of them went to Laosun's barbecue restaurant, which was the owner of the restaurant that Lin Jing once thought of as an ostrich. Since being fined once by the demon management committee, the boss has become much more honest, at least he will no longer drink like crazy during working hours. Xu Pei is very familiar with this place. After ordering, he went to the convenience store next door to pick up beer: "Drink?"
"No, he has to read when he goes back." Liu Xu took the beer away from Lin Jing, and ordered freshly squeezed apple and pear juice again.
Business was very good in the store on Friday, and Lin Jing had nothing to say: "I thought the private rooms in this store could only accommodate more than ten people."
"It's logical, but it's enough to pay the boss more service fees." Xu Pei opened the beer, "There are people coming and going outside, making trouble."
This is true, Liu Xu has red hair, Lin Jing is more well-known in the mountains and seas, and Xu Pei, who has recently been caught in the center of the vortex, estimated that during the time of eating a barbecue, at least hundreds of curious eyes would be received from all directions.
The boss quickly cooked a part of the grill. Lin Jing was not interested in grilling. He came here purely for gossip, so he kept listening to the two of them chatting. Xu Pei didn't treat him as an outsider, or he didn't bother to hide it at all. He drank a few bottles of wine and complained directly to Liu Xu that the family had spent a lot of effort to suppress this incident.
Judging by his tone, he is probably another dandy brother who is good at studies but not easy to worry about. Teacher Xiao Lin calmly interjected: "But now it seems that everyone is talking about Principal Tang and the pressure of study, and not much else is mentioned."
"I was also puzzled at first." Xu Pei said, "After checking, it seems that someone deliberately seduced Principal Tang behind his back. It was a marketing company called Optimist."
"Marketing what?"
"Actually, it's a navy company, the kind that specializes in disturbing the water, and gave itself a nice name." Liu Xu explained, "It was found out based on the IP of the person who posted it, but I don't know what the purpose is."
"Does Principal Tang know?"
Xu Pei nodded: "Of course, otherwise the school wouldn't think it was my family who did it, and died unjustly."
Optimist is almost notorious in the industry, as long as you have followed the stars, you must have heard of this name. Although Lin Jing didn't follow stars, he searched the Internet casually and got a general idea, so he sent the screenshot to Ji Xingling.
Da Keda: I just heard that this marketing company seems to be messing with Principal Tang. Have you heard from your uncle
Ji Xingling came back quickly, not only had he heard it, but he had just discussed it with his parents at the dinner table that night.
Brother Xing: Well, behind it is a construction company, Xinli Construction.
Keda: Why is it a construction company? I thought the villain would appear in the education field.
Ji Xingling called directly: "You are out of school."
"Eat something near the school, and haven't come home yet." Lin Jing walked out of the box, "I've heard of Xinli Construction, but why did they have anything to do with Principal Tang?"
"Dongshan Building is going to be rebuilt, and Xinli wants to take the job." Ji Xingling said, "Uncle Tang is in charge of the bidding. The early talks fell apart, so the other party deliberately found trouble. The girl's father works in Xinli, so he probably was bribed." Well, I just took advantage of this to make trouble."
Xinli is one of the top construction groups in the province. Dongshan Building is a small three-story building, and it doesn't look like an earth-shattering big project that can make the other party spend so much effort. Lin Jing didn't figure it out: "It shouldn't happen, right? Could there be other conflicts?"
"My dad is going to have dinner with Uncle Tang on the weekend. I'll report to you if I have any information." Ji Xingling asked, "Did you go to see that tree today?"
"I went, but there were a lot of people on the playground during the day, and it didn't shine anymore." Lin Jing said, "I sat by and read a book for a while."
"Why sit there and read a book, it's so cold."
"not cold."
I don't know if it's because of psychological effects, or if the big tree's grandfather is really kind and kind, and will quietly hug the boy with warmth in the cold wind. It's really not cold at all, and he even feels sleepy for a while.
"Xiao Jing." Liu Xu called him from the private room, "The grilled oysters you ordered are here."
Ji Xingling was alert: "Why are you with Hongmao again?"
Teacher Xiao Lin was stunned: "Why is it so far away, and the barbecue shop is still so noisy, you can hear it?"
Ji Xingling: "..."
Lin Jing probed: "Are you Shunfenger?"
"Shut up, what kind of strange monster is that, it's not fierce at all!"
Your star brother really has an obsessive pursuit of fierceness.
Lin Jing pursed her lips: "Yeah, it's really not aggressive. I just met brother Liu Xu after school, and the male protagonist of the puppy love incident, named Xu Pei, so we chatted for a while, purely for gossip, and went home after dinner .”
"If you want to know about Uncle Tang, come and ask me, what are you going to eat with others?" Ji Xingling turned the pen in his hand, "What time will you be back? I'll ask the driver to pick you up."
Lin Jing: "Can you stop imitating the people in TV dramas?"
Ji Xingling was puzzled: "How do the people in the TV series talk?"
"It's just..." Mr. Xiaolin reflected for a while, didn't you? It might be my fault. I shouldn't have watched so many idol dramas when I was a child, so that when I heard "I'll let the driver pick you up", I thought of sitting at a large desk The male lead in black suit.
"Why are you silent again, what is it?"
"That's right, you're super handsome, you remind me of the TV hero when you talk."
"I think your 'just' is a bit perfunctory."
"Why do you feel perfunctory, I'm super sincere, are you questioning your handsomeness?"
"...I didn't, I never questioned my handsomeness, you win."
Teacher Kobayashi, although he has no feelings, he is very good at making arguments, and he is very confident and boastful.
On weekend nights, Ji Xingling knocked on the study door: "Dad, are you busy?"
"Not too busy." Ji Minglang put down the file, "What's wrong?"
"I want to ask about Uncle Tang, didn't you guys go to dinner together today?" Ji Xingling dragged the chair over, "What happened to Xinli Construction, and they still refused to settle the matter and insisted on getting the reconstruction project of Dongshan Building ?”
Ji Minglang nodded: "Yes."
The other party is completely rascal, and at the beginning he was able to sit down and talk through the formal process. Later, seeing that he was rejected by Tang Yaoxun frequently, and the project was about to fall into other people's hands, he completely tore his face, even the threat was blatant, saying that even if this If this incident can be suppressed, there are still thousands of students in Shanhai, so there is no guarantee that no one will have another accident. As long as the same rumors are repeated several times, even if the Education Bureau does not want to touch him, the parents of the students will not agree.
The boss of Xinli Construction is called Wei Li. Ji Xingling has a little impression of this person. He has a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. Anyway, he doesn't look like a positive character.
Ji Minglang continued: "Your Uncle Tang will not allow Xin Li to enter the school. Their behavior this time is really weird."
It is so strange that it is far beyond the scope of human beings, so we can only rely on monsters. And there are a large group of underage little monsters in the mountains and seas, if you don't pay attention, you may be hurt.
Chongming has reported this matter to the Xiezhi Investigation Office according to the regulations, but no results have been released yet.
Ji Xingling emphasized: "If there is any new development in this matter, please let me know as soon as possible."
Ji Minglang smiled: "Okay."
He called his son to his side again: "How's your spiritual power these two days? According to the report from Queshan Hospital, there seems to be nothing abnormal."
"I'm not abnormal at all." Ji Xingling said, "Maybe it's the growth period, so the ups and downs are not stable, so I'll go back and continue studying."
"It's eleven o'clock, go to bed early." Ji Minglang warned. Ji Xingling agreed, but an hour later, when the adult unicorn finished his work and went to the bedroom, he saw his cub was still working on the questions, muttering something, very hard.
The old father wanted to cry again.
He stood at the door and carefully recalled it for five minutes. It was indeed after he moved to Jiang'an Academy that he became interested in learning.
So is it really Bai Ze's credit
Is the halo of Xueba really so useful
Logically speaking, it is impossible, but... It was rare for Ji Minglang to feel a little confused about himself, so he pulled on his slippers and went back to the bedroom.
Do you have to take the time to find a monster research institution to study it.
And next door, Zhen Ji Xingling's only designated motivation for studying, the gold medal tutor, Mr. Xiaolin, is still looking up all kinds of strange monsters, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, and specially picks the fiercest ones and writes them down. By the way, I also checked the trees that can emit light. There are quite a few of them. As long as it is a sacred tree, it will glow in all likelihood, which is of no reference value.
Only half of a month has passed, and long-distance relationships are like this. Lin Jing lay on the bed and sighed, and sent a WeChat message to the prospective boyfriend next door. I went to see that tree again today, because it was very dark and there was no one around, so when I squatted down, it touched it with its roots. my hand.
Also shook off two or three flowers, red and purple layer upon layer, very in line with the aesthetics of the elderly.
Although it is also fleeting, the surprises left behind are long-lasting. Lin Jing held the slender branch, and there was a little warmth in the roughness. The grass leaves were fragrant, and there were tender yellow butterflies, which also turned into sand when the wind blew.
Ji Xingling was so sour when he heard that, even if he is a great guardian monster, even if he is already the grandfather of my grandfather, he can't touch my teacher Xiaolin casually.
"How can he shake the flowers as he says, isn't he afraid of being discovered by others!"
"It seems like I'm the only one who can see it."
Ji Xingling was even more sour.
Lin Jingwen sniffed her sleeves, and felt that the fragrance still seemed to be left. In order to repay this gift, he took a piece of delicious egg yolk puff pastry with him on the second day, and secretly opened it under the tree after self-study next night.
A root hair came out from under the soil and swept away the dim sum in an instant.
He still looks like a quick-moving monster grandpa.
Elderly people can't eat too many sweets and snacks, they will suffer from indigestion, about one piece a day. So from egg yolk cakes to mung bean cakes, to butterfly cakes, thousand-layer cakes, and hawthorn cakes, Lin Jing would bring snacks over every day and watch the big tree finish eating before leaving. On the last day, it was whimsical and replaced with an opera cake. After unpacking, no roots crawled out for a long time.
Hey, don't you like to eat foreign tastes? Lin Jing patted the root of the tree with his hand: "Then I will take it away, and I will send a new one tomorrow."
The big tree is silent, only the wind blows the leaves rustling.
Lin Jing picked up the tray and wanted to leave, but when she turned around, she almost ran into someone's arms: "Ah!"
"Be careful!" The other party hurriedly supported him, holding a broom and dustpan in the other hand, he was a cleaner in this area.
Lin Jing looked at the overturned cake on the ground: "I'm sorry."
"It's okay, that's what I do." The cleaner let go of his hand, "It's so cold, why come here to eat cake."
"It's too sweet, I want to throw it in a trash can." Lin Jing still had his earphones plugged in, just to cover up his self-talk just now. He left the school in a hurry, and took the initiative to call his prospective boyfriend to confess. I just talked to Dashu Chatting, as if seen by the cleaners.
Ji Xingling sat up, shocked: "Have you guys grown to chat with each other?"
Lin Jing corrected: "No, I unilaterally said a word, saying that I will visit him tomorrow."
Ji Xingling: "..."
Lin Jing talked about the matter briefly, and said nervously, "Is there nothing wrong?"
"This is not an example."
"Um."
"Don't give away food anymore."
"But will the tree be angry, can I explain it tomorrow?"
"Let me find someone to explain it to you."
"good."
So the gold medal boy Wangyoucao Ge Hao received a new task.
That night, a tender and round leaf came out of the soil, patted the big tree next to it, and greeted very socially: "Hey, buddy!"
The guardian monster who is dozing off:
After Wangyoucao finished what Big Brother Qilin had told him, he left gracefully. After returning home and taking a shower, I remembered to ask, "Brother Xing, what kind of monster is that tree? Why hasn't it spoken?"
"I don't know." Ji Xingling answered casually while reading the model essay, "I only know that he is the guardian of the mountains and seas, and he has a high seniority."
Ge Hao: "..."
Five minutes later, the younger brother was still immersed in panic, complaining with blood and tears trembling, brother Xing, how could you do this, why didn't you tell me that he is so awesome, I even "slapped" him seven or eight times.
Ji Xingling: "If I told you, would you still dare to go?"
Ge Hao: "I dare not."
"So I didn't tell you."
"..."
"Aren't you fine after you finish talking? Why panic?" Ji Xingling selectively ignored the fact that he didn't dare to talk to the guardian demon. Anyway, you Xingge must be cool, "It's all plants, maybe he I can still have a little relationship with you, okay, hang up."
"When will you come back to class?"
"The day after tomorrow." Ji Xingling yawned.
Ge Hao wondered: "The day after tomorrow, isn't the monthly exam starting the day after tomorrow, Brother Xing, you are sick, why don't you just ask for two more days off?"
Ji Xingling lazily replied, "You are the only one who is sick."
Please take a fart leave, your Brother Xing is super healthy, he has been looking forward to this exam for a long time, do you know it
Even the restaurant for the first official date has been chosen!
