Whether we like it or not, the senior year of high school has finally begun. When the teacher said that the college entrance examination was just around the corner, I was still dismissive. But when the school held a 100-day oath-taking meeting for the college entrance examination, some girls in the class actually cried.
As a result, one person started crying, and many others started crying as well.
Lin Xi sat next to Jiang Yimian, looking at her tearful eyes, and used tissue after tissue.
After a while, she finally couldn't help asking, "So touching?"
Jiang Yimian turned to look at her, tears in her eyes showing disbelief. She sobbed and said angrily, "It's not touching at all. When I think about the exam that's only a hundred days away, I feel like I haven't reviewed well enough."
Lin Xi: “…”
Xie Ang behind him finally couldn't help it and said angrily: "Jiang Yimian, you are being hypocritical. You scored ten points higher than me in the last exam and ranked 36th in the grade. What are you crying about?"
Jiang Yimian made great efforts to improve his math this year and was able to maintain a stable score of around 130.
Since her English score is usually over 140, her score in the last mock exam exceeded the admission score of Tsinghua University last year.
However, Xie Ang was also touched by today's Hundred Days Oath.
He turned his head to look at the empty seat beside him and said enviously, "Ah Xing is still lucky. He doesn't have to come to school."
Lin Xi was sitting in front of him. When she heard this, she turned around and said, "He just didn't come today."
"Lin Xi, I find that you are too biased now. I haven't said anything bad about Ah Xing, but you are already protecting him." Xie Ang supported his head with one hand and smiled wickedly.
Jiang Yimian threw a pack of tissues over, "Don't bully Lin Xi."
Each class customized a college entrance examination countdown calendar and hung it in front of the classroom. When everyone looked up, they could see the shocking number next to the blackboard.
From the one hundred days to the last ten days, it seemed like several months had passed in the blink of an eye.
Most people's lives are squeezed to the point where only test papers and scores remain.
Many students showed signs of anxiety, but Lin Xi remained calm and composed as always.
In the last three mock exams, she scored 712 points.
Jiang Yimian said she was going crazy on the exam.
As for Ji Junxing, who has already obtained a place in Tsinghua University, he is also busy with his own things. He contacted Tsinghua professors in advance and often went there. He was also selected for the national team and became one of the final four students to represent the Chinese team in the International Olympiad in Informatics held in Milan, Italy this year.
At noon, Lin Xi returned to the classroom after eating in the cafeteria and was just about to lie down on the table to rest for a while.
I felt a buzzing vibration in the hole of the table.
She reached out and took out the cell phone from her bag.
When she took a look, it turned out to be Zhang Han calling. During the Chinese New Year last year, Zhang Han learned that Lin Xi had a mobile phone and insisted on exchanging numbers with her.
Occasionally, Zhang Han would call her and complain about how boring school life was and how he failed the exams.
So she didn't care and answered the call.
"Lin Xi." Zhang Han said anxiously, "You haven't come back yet?"
Lin Xi smiled. She stood in the corridor, looking at the sky in the distance, and said in a rare leisurely voice, "I have to finish the exam before I can go home."
"Lin Xi, something happened in your family, don't you know?" The sound of Zhang Han stomping his feet came.
Lin Xi was stunned.
"Your father was arrested..."
When Lin Xi heard this, her thoughts suddenly became hazy. After a long while, she asked, "What did you say?"
Your father was arrested and people said he killed someone.
Until Lin Xi sat on the plane, she didn't understand why this happened. The air-conditioning on the plane was turned on very high, and she kept shivering in her seat until a passing flight attendant noticed her abnormality and whispered to her if she needed a blanket.
Lin Xi shook her head.
The flight time from Beijing to her home city is two hours and thirty minutes.
After getting off the plane, Lin Xi called Lin Yaohua again, but the phone was still unreachable.
When she called Jiang Ying, the line was connected, but no one answered. She recalled that the last time she called her mother, she said she was fine.
That time, Lin Yaohua did not show up.
At that time, Lin Xi was busy with the final review for the college entrance examination and didn't take it seriously. She thought her father was just busy.
When Lin Xi arrived at the door of her home, she found that there was a big hole in the window of her shop.
She took out the key with trembling hands and opened the store door to find it in a mess. The counter was smashed, broken glass was scattered on the ground, and half of the shelf fell over, with goods scattered all over the place.
She blinked, still unable to believe it.
She entered the yard through the back door and it was completely silent.
Even the chickens we usually raised were gone.
She looked around the house, but her father and mother were not there.
Until someone came in, she turned around in surprise, and unexpectedly saw Zhang Han’s mother next door.
When Zhang's mother saw Lin Xi, she was startled and asked, "Lin Xi, why are you back? I saw your store door open just now, and I thought that group of people..."
She stopped talking halfway and forced a smile, "Aren't you going to take the college entrance examination? If you miss home, you can come back after the exam, isn't it okay?"
"Aunt Qian, where are my dad and mom?"
Zhang Han’s mother’s surname is Qian, and the two families have been neighbors for many years. It can be said that she watched Lin Xi grow up.
She knew that Lin Xi was going to take the college entrance examination soon, so she smiled and said, "Your mother must have gone to your aunt's house. Your father hasn't been home for many days. I heard that he went to work in another place."
Lin Xi felt cold all over.
She looked at her own shop and said, "You don't have to hide it from me. I know everything."
"Lin Xi." Aunt Qian was a woman with a loud and cheerful voice, and she couldn't bear to say more at this moment.
After a long while, Lin Xi looked at her and finally asked, "Did my father really kill someone?"
She didn't believe it, and she still doesn't believe it now.
Lin Yaohua was an honest man all his life, and Lin Xi had never seen him get angry. Jiang Ying was impatient, and would scold him when she got angry, but he would just laugh cheerfully and go back to work.
He doesn't make much money and he's not the expressive type.
But in Lin Xi's heart, he is the best father in the world.
"Lin Xi, don't worry. Don't blame your dad. Really, no one can stand this kind of person. Your dad, an honest man, has been forced into this state. He really has no other choice."
Lin Xi finally raised her voice, "Tell me, what happened to my dad?"
"It was your brother's car accident. It was a sin. The man who hit your brother was from the next village. The little bastard had been hiding for a few years, but no one caught him. He came back a while ago, and when he was drinking with someone, he blurted out everything. Later, your parents heard about it, and your dad went to find him. The little bastard drank too much in the KTV and got into a fight with your dad, and then your dad pushed the man down the stairs..."
Lin Xi opened her eyes wide, and for a moment, even her breathing quickened.
"Brother..." She breathed hard, but Lin Zheng's figure kept appearing in her mind.
She has never forgotten it after all these years.
She knew her parents had never forgotten it either, and they had tried countless times to catch the person who caused the accident. Lin Yaohua even went to the police station many times every year.
She didn't expect that one day they would really know who this person was.
"Is he dead?" Lin Xi asked blankly.
Aunt Qian sighed, "I heard that the person fell down the stairs and died when he was sent to the hospital."
This story spread throughout the village, and everyone knew about it. The Lin family was a well-known family in several nearby villages. After all, their family had a student named Lin Zheng who was admitted to Tsinghua University. This was the first Tsinghua student in the town.
Later, there was a car accident. Who wouldn't feel sorry when hearing about it
Then there was Lin Xi, the top scorer in the high school entrance exam, who is now studying in Beijing with excellent grades and is about to be admitted to Tsinghua University. Others say that the Lin family is so lucky that they had one smart child and two smart children.
Lin Xi suddenly revealed a sad smile, "It would be best if I died."
Aunt Qian was stunned for a moment, then she sighed.
But after Lin Xi said this, she felt so painful that she couldn't breathe. But if this beast died, what would her father do
While the two were talking, there was a sudden noise in front of them.
Aunt Qian's face changed. When she saw Lin Xi was about to go out to see what was happening, she quickly stopped her and said, "Lin Xi, don't go. The Wang family has lost their son and they are all crazy. Your mother was beaten by them a few days ago."
"My mother was beaten?" Lin Xi finally reacted.
"This family is unreasonable. This little bastard's parents gave birth to five daughters before they had this one son. Now that he's gone, they're looking for your family to fight with every day."
But Aunt Qian didn't catch Lin Xi and she ran out.
When she entered the shop, she saw a lot of people standing in the room and some outside.
Everyone was surprised that a young girl would come out. The old woman in her sixties in the middle suddenly yelled, "Are all the Lin family members dead? Give my son back his life. Give my son back his life."
As she said this, she slapped her thigh and started to cry.
A slightly younger woman nearby looked at Lin Xi and said, "You must be the daughter of the Lin family. It would be best if you were here. Tell your mother to come out quickly and stop hiding. Your father beat my brother to death. Where else can she hide?"
"Whether your brother was beaten to death by my father or not, we will have to wait for the court's verdict to find out."
Lin Xi looked at her coldly.
"You little bitch are quite good at talking, I'm going to tear your bitch mouth apart..." The young woman didn't expect Lin Xi to dare to talk back at this time, so she came up to hit her.
Lin Xi dodged back and the woman was left empty-handed.
It was a young man who came with the woman who said, "Forget it, she is just a little girl, there is no point in talking to her."
"It's useless. Move everything here away. I'll see how long her mother can hide."
The young woman directed the men who came with her. These men had tattoos on their bodies and looked ruffian. When they heard about moving things, they all looked at the cigarette rack behind the counter.
When everyone started to take action, Lin Xi finally rushed out.
She directly took out a sharp kitchen knife from the shelf, stood in front of everyone, and shouted: "If anyone dares to take anything from my house, I will chop him to death."
She is beautiful and delicate, and looks quiet and gentle.
At this moment, he is holding a kitchen knife in his hand, which makes people feel scary no matter how you look at him.
A man wearing a black T-shirt and a big gold chain saw her like this and teased her, "Little sister, knives are not fun. Come here, give it to me, or you'll prick your hand."
As he said that, he walked towards Lin Xi and actually wanted to touch her hand.
Lin Xi swung the knife without hesitation. The man in black was startled and dodged several times, but his arm was still cut by Lin Xi's knife.
At this time, the kitchen knife in Lin Xi's hand was stained with blood and raised in the air.
Now, no one dared to step forward.
Everyone could see the cruelty in her eyes.
Fortunately, the village party secretary arrived with his men soon after. Many people from the village came, after all, the commotion was so big.
When the village party secretary came in, he was stunned when he saw Lin Xi. Then he saw that she was holding a kitchen knife with blood on it, so he hurried over and looked Lin Xi up and down. It was okay, the child was not hurt.
"Are you still human? So many grown men bullying a child."
"Don't say that. Let the Lin family come out. Don't think you can get away with it by hiding. My brother's life must be compensated by your Lin family." The young woman cursed.
Hearing this, Lin Xi looked over and sneered at the other person.
"Compensate for your brother's life? Who will compensate for my brother's life?"
Lin Xi looked at her fiercely, "Do you think your brother's life can compensate for my brother's? Even if he dies ten times, or a hundred times, he deserves it."
The village party secretary sighed.
The old woman on the opposite side wanted to rush over and hit Lin Xi, but was blocked by Murakami's people.
For a moment, neither side gave in.
Until the police came and saw them, the police said, "It's you again. You beat someone up last time. Don't think that the matter is over."
"Comrade police, this family killed my son, and we are here to seek justice."
The police knew about the dispute between the two families. When they saw that there was a little girl on this side and strong men and adult women on the other side, they said disdainfully: "The court will naturally make a judgment on the case. Besides, the crime was committed by Lin Yaohua. What's the point of you looking for his wife and children?"
"Everyone, leave now. If you come here to cause trouble again, you will all follow us to the police station."
The people in Lin Xi's village were also scolding them. After all, the Lin family's situation was too pitiful. They all lived in the same village. The Lin family was weak and was being bullied, so they would help if they could.
In the end, the police and Murakami's people drove away all the troublemakers.
When the village party secretary came to take the kitchen knife from Lin Xi's hand, he found that she was holding it too tightly and her fingers were stiff.
I can't get it off at all.
"Lin Xi, you are going to college, how can you fight with them with a kitchen knife? If you really hurt someone, your life will be ruined."
Lin Xi stared straight ahead.
After an unknown amount of time, her fingers finally loosened and the kitchen knife in her hand fell to the ground with a clang.
After everyone left, Lin Xi cleaned the house by herself, lifted up the shelves, and swept up the broken glass on the counter.
When she was done, she sat alone at the counter.
The surroundings were quiet, with only her breathing as the sound.
Until the cell phone in her pocket rang, she took it out and was stunned when she saw Ji Junxing's phone number.
After a while, she pressed the answer button.
"Lin Xi, you're home?" Ji Junxing frowned. He was participating in a training camp to prepare for the International Informatics Competition to be held in August. He hadn't been to school for several days. Chen Mo told him about this.
Lin Xi hummed and said softly, "Yes."
Ji Junxing: "Is there something wrong at home? Don't worry, I'll buy a plane ticket and fly over right away."
While he was speaking, another voice on the phone called out to him to come over quickly.
Lin Xi immediately said: "No, it's just a small matter."
"Is it a small matter that makes you go home at this time?" Ji Junxing asked suspiciously.
Lin Xi: "Yes, my mother is in the hospital and she misses me so much. I came to accompany her. Anyway, I have been prepared for a long time. I will just go home and relax before the exam."
"What's wrong with your mother?" Ji Junxing asked.
"It's an old stomach problem. Don't worry, just train well."
Ji Junxing hummed, and Lin Xi asked him, "Are you going to hang up?"
Hearing the reluctance in her voice, the boy deliberately asked, "Can't bear to part with me?"
"Yeah." Lin Xi said softly, "Can you chat with me for ten minutes?"
"Let me check the time." The boy paused deliberately, then he chuckled and said, "I checked. I can probably chat with you for the rest of my life."
In response to his sudden teasing, Lin Xi finally became a little more lively.
Ji Junxing, her Ji Junxing.
Finally, tears appeared in her eyes for the first time since she learned that her father was in trouble.
She reached out to wipe it off and asked him, "I'm sitting behind the counter in our house. Do you remember the first time we met?"
"A bottle of iced mineral water, please."
His voice was neither hurried nor slow, with a lazy and casual tone, just like the tone he used when they first met.
Lin Xi chuckled.
But tears kept falling down.
"Lin Xi, can I come to your house after the college entrance examination?" the person opposite asked softly.
Lin Xi was slightly startled.
The slightly arrogant voice from the other side sounded again.
"Your parents should at least take a look at who Lin Xi's boyfriend is."
The author has something to say: No matter what time it is, the young master is always the young master that Lin Xi can rely on.
This plot is a must in the outline. Of course, it is still sweet because there has never been any misunderstanding between the two of them. It’s just that life has some twists and turns and obstacles that they must go through.
Someone said Lin Xi was too soft before, I never explained it, I don't think it's necessary
She is fearless when she needs to be brave and responsible.
