The Lin family was once the most enviable family in the village.
He has two children, Lin Zheng and Lin Xi.
My elder brother Lin Zheng was the first student in the village to be admitted to Tsinghua University. When the college entrance examination results were announced that year, the sound of firecrackers that rang out at the door of the Lin family is still deeply impressed when people mention it.
It was just a car accident that changed everything completely.
During the winter break of his first year in college, Lin Zheng was in a car accident on his way home. He was rushed to the hospital and was given a critical illness notice. Because it was late that day and there were no surveillance cameras on the road, the driver who caused the accident has not been found to this day.
After that, Lin Zheng stayed in the hospital for two years.
Half a year ago, he was declared brain dead by doctors.
It was then that Lin's parents learned that Lin Zheng had signed an organ donation agreement when he was in school.
He went to medical school in college.
After being exposed to these things more often, I came up with the idea of donating my organs.
But even he himself probably didn't expect that this day would come so soon.
Lin Xi still remembers the scene of that day. The corridor was quiet with only Jiang Ying's desperate crying.
The doctors and nurses stood aside, no one wanted to disturb the grieving mother.
But in the end, Jiang Ying chose to respect her son's wishes.
Perhaps for her, as long as Lin Zheng's heart is still beating, her son is still alive.
Jiang Ying wanted to meet the recipient of the donation and hear her son's heartbeat, but according to the organ donation agreement, they could not know each other's information.
Lin Xi always thought that she would never hear her brother's heartbeat again in this life.
She stood there for a while, then asked softly, "Is it her child?"
Lin Yaohua nodded.
"Just now at the village committee, your mother burst into tears when she heard this."
No wonder.
Lin Xi nodded in her heart. She stood in the kitchen and looked towards the main room next door.
"Is it this boy?" Lin Xi asked.
Ji Junxing doesn't look like someone who has had heart surgery.
Lin Yaohua was stunned. "No, it's his brother. His family is from Beijing, and they were tired from the journey, so they didn't bring the child here."
They brought tea over, and Lin Yaohua also cut a watermelon that he grew in his own field.
Wen Xuan was standing in front of the wall, looking at the award certificates that covered the wall.
Seeing them come in, she smiled gently, "Lin Xi has always had good grades, right?"
Lin Yaohua placed the tea on the eight-immortal table and smiled naively, "Well, during the high school entrance exam last year, Lin Xi was the top scorer in the entire city."
Lin Yaohua is an honest man and a bit taciturn.
But when it comes to talking about their own children, things become much more difficult.
Wen Xuan liked Lin Xi when she first met her. Lin Xi had a gentle and pretty appearance, a peaceful and calm temperament, and spoke in a slow and unhurried voice. Such a girl would easily please parents.
Besides, Wen Xuan gave birth to two sons and always wanted a daughter.
Lin Xi is such a well-behaved and sensible girl with excellent grades that she is simply the ideal daughter in the eyes of her parents.
Wen Xuan said with a smile: "Lin Xi is so amazing."
Ji Junxing, who was standing casually on the side, looked towards Lin Xi when he heard this.
Lin Xi just turned her head and her eyes met those dark eyes.
Their eyes met, and the young man not far away raised his eyes slightly and glanced up and down nonchalantly.
Lin Xi was the first to look away.
Wen Xuan continued to praise: "It's really not easy to be the first in the city. Lin Xi's current grades should be pretty good too."
Jiang Ying just happened to come in.
Hearing this, she wiped her hands on the apron in front of her and said, "This child has never given us any worries since he was young."
After hearing this, Wen Xuan turned her head and glanced to the side, then snorted, "My family's is not good. The teacher often comes to complain."
Although being mentioned, Ji Junxing still looked lazy.
It was as if he was not the one being taught a lesson, and he looked as if he didn't care about anything around him.
Jiang Ying gave him face and said, "Children in big cities are multi-talented, unlike my kid who only knows how to study."
Wen Xuan pursed her lips and smiled again, "It's great to be able to study. By the way, which school does Lin Xi study in?"
Lin Xi said the name of her school.
Wen Xuan was stunned for a moment, then said hesitantly, "I remember the best high school in the city is Haijiang Middle School."
The high school she was talking about is indeed the top high school in the city.
Lin Xi nodded.
Wen Xuan asked curiously, "Why didn't you go to Haijiang Middle School?"
When she asked this, Lin Xi showed no expression, but Jiang Ying and Lin Yaohua beside her felt a little uncomfortable.
Why didn’t you go to Haijiang Middle School
When Lin Xi took the high school entrance exam, the results came out, which brought a little joy to the family.
But at that time, Lin Zheng was still lying in the hospital, and his medical expenses alone were enough to make Jiang Ying and others breathless.
So they didn't really care about Lin Xi's application form. Anyway, they thought she would definitely be admitted to Haijiang Middle School.
Until they heard from the teacher that Lin Xi would not go to Haijiang Middle School, but to her current school.
Jiang Ying was so angry that she rushed back from the hospital.
When she asked for details, she found out that the school's admissions office had found Lin Xi and promised to give her a scholarship of 100,000 yuan, exempting her tuition for three years, and the school would also provide her with a living allowance every month.
Jiang Ying was furious and raised her hand to hit her.
She asked Lin Xi, "Just for this little benefit, you are going to ruin your future."
At that time, Lin Xi was a skinny little girl with a stubborn look on her face.
She said: "One hundred thousand yuan can allow my brother to stay in the hospital for several more months, and the school can also provide me with living expenses. Mom, you just need to take good care of my brother, and don't worry about my tuition and living expenses. Even if I am in this school, I can still be admitted to Tsinghua University."
Lin Zheng was the first student in the village to be admitted to Tsinghua University.
Lin Xi always believed that she would be the second one.
Jiang Ying looked at her and suddenly covered her face.
Although the clothes Lin Xi was wearing were clean, they were so old that they looked white. Ever since Lin Zheng's accident, the family's finances had suddenly become tight. The child only had 200 yuan a month for living expenses, which was a little difficult to afford, let alone buy clothes.
Other girls of this age all dress up beautifully.
All parents hope that their children are well-behaved and sensible, but when they are really sensible to this extent, parents feel guilty and distressed.
"In fact, our school's teachers are also very good. In this city-wide exam, our school ranked among the best in the city."
Lin Xi said.
Wen Xuan nodded.
After a while, Wen Xuan looked around and suddenly said, "Can I go to Lin Zheng's room to take a look?"
This was the first time she mentioned Lin Zheng since she came in.
Jiang Ying turned her head to the side. Although so much time had passed, she still felt sad when she heard Lin Zheng's name.
Seeing that her parents were silent, Lin Xi said, "Aunt Wen, I'll take you there."
The Lin family's house is a two-story building, and the upstairs is Lin Zheng and Lin Xi's room. Lin Zheng's room is still well preserved, but the farmhouse's room is not decorated much, a bookcase, a desk, and a bed are all the room has.
Lin Zheng was a very self-reliant person during his lifetime, and his room was kept in perfect order.
Many of the books on the bookshelf are his high school and college textbooks.
There is a diagram of the human body structure on the wall, which Jiang Ying brought back from the dormitory of Forestry University.
She couldn't bear to throw any of them away.
Just as Wen Xuan was about to go in, the cell phone in her bag rang.
She took her cell phone and went to the side to answer the call.
At this time, a gust of wind blew. The window was open, but the screen was closed to prevent insects. The wind blew up a corner of the human body structure diagram hanging on the wall.
When Lin Xi saw it, she hurried forward and reached out to press that corner against the wall.
Unexpectedly, as if deliberately going against her, she just stepped back a little, and with a loud bang, the entire structure diagram fell down.
She blinked and stared in amazement.
At this time, Young Master Ji, who was leaning against the door frame with a relaxed expression, saw the scene in front of him and chuckled.
He walked forward a few steps and bent down to pick up the structural diagram on the ground.
“Do you have any glue at home?”
Lin Xi turned her head and wrinkled her nose slightly, "How about transparent tape?"
"no."
The man's voice was deep and pleasant, and even two simple words sounded better to him than to others.
Ji Junxing pointed at the wall and said, "Scotch tape will soon be unable to stick to this kind of wall."
Instead, Ji Junxing glanced casually around the room.
He took two steps to the side, without even standing on tiptoe, and reached for a transparent bottle on the top shelf of the bookshelf with his hand.
This is the glue that Lin Zheng used before.
When Lin Xi saw him take the things down, she suddenly became anxious.
She rushed over, almost without thinking, and grabbed the bottle from his hand.
The glue was held by him. She didn't pull it back the first time, so she used force again, and this time she touched the boy's warm and delicate skin.
Lin Xi's palm seemed to be suddenly burned and she pulled back.
Girls of this age have to think twice before speaking to boys, let alone physical contact.
This was the first time she touched a boy's hand.
Ji Junxing lowered his eyes and looked at her cheek. To be honest, she didn't have a stunning appearance. Her facial features were soft and beautiful. She was the kind of beauty that lasted for a long time. At this moment, she lowered her head, and her long eyelashes covered her eyelids, blocking her vision.
Well, you're so shy just because we touched each other
Lin Xi sorted out her mood, looked up and said seriously: "That's my brother's thing, I can't use it."
Ji Junxing raised the corner of his eye again.
Obviously he didn't understand why he couldn't use the glue if it was available.
Lin Xi didn't say much to him.
Because he doesn't understand his own feelings.
This is something her brother left behind, and it will be gone once it is used. Even though she felt powerless, she and her parents still wanted to keep a trace of her brother's life in this world.
Even if there is only a little left, it will be a great comfort to them.
She didn't explain. Ji Junxing looked down at the glue in his palm.
Then he turned around and put the things back.
"Thanks."
Lin Xi said in a soft voice.
Finally, Lin Xi went downstairs to find a bottle of glue and pasted the structural diagram back.
In summer, the sunshine lasts long. When Jiang Ying prepared a table of food, the sky outside was still bright. After a while, several village cadres came over, saying that they would accompany her to entertain the distinguished guests.
Jiang Ying naturally couldn't push people out.
Lin Yaohua specially found the wine brewed at home.
At the dinner table, somehow it was arranged that Lin Xi sat next to Ji Junxing.
Even if the boy next to him didn't speak, he felt very oppressive. When he was eating, he was very quiet. Jiang Ying was afraid that he would not be used to the things at home, so she specially prepared new bowls and chopsticks for him and Wen Xuan.
I don't know who started the conversation and turned the topic to this side.
Then the village chief said with a smile: "The young man in your family should have good grades."
Wen Xuan glanced at Ji Junxing and smiled faintly: "He is okay in his studies, but he doesn't really focus on it."
The village chief looked at the boy and girl sitting opposite him, suddenly patted his leg, and said happily: "Our Lin Xi is a female top scholar, and she will be admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University in the future. Look at these two children, sitting together, don't they look like the golden boy and jade girl?"
Lian Jiang Ying didn't expect that the village chief would suddenly say this.
She quickly interrupted, "Old Zhang, don't talk nonsense, the children are still young."
Unexpectedly, the village chief was a little drunk at this moment and couldn't stop talking.
"If it were in the past, your two families would have to become in-laws to justify this fate."
Lin Xi was eating quietly, but when she heard these words, she froze.
Almost instantly, her fair cheeks turned red.
Even her earlobes were red.
It's so embarrassing. Who could have thought that the village chief would suddenly say such ridiculous words.
Unexpectedly, a defiant voice sounded nearby.
"You mean to let her be my child bride?"
