Chapter 19 It's Really Her
Teacher Zhou moved his mouth a few times and lowered his head in embarrassment.
Lin Xi suddenly stepped forward, hugged Teacher Yu, and said softly, "Teacher Yu, thank you, thank you for believing in me, and thank you for protecting me."
Teacher Yu was stunned by this sudden hug. She didn't know where to put her hands and feet. It took her a long time to awkwardly hug Lin Xi back.
Several teachers were watching them and laughing, with a hint of envy in their eyes.
Lin Xi held her hand for a while and then let go. She smiled and bowed to all the teachers, then straightened up and walked out.
As soon as she left the house, the teachers started discussing in the office.
"Lin Xi is a really good student. Not only is she a good student, but she also knows how to be grateful. Look, our teacher Yu is so moved that she's almost crying."
"Hahaha, that's right, look, her eyes are red."
Teacher Yu said with a chuckle, "You guys may be envious, but there's nothing I can do. Although I have a bad temper, I'm just popular with students."
Several teachers burst into laughter and made all kinds of jokes about the teacher.
The office was suddenly bustling with activity.
Teacher Zhou sat there alone, as if he had been forgotten by everyone.
The laughter around her seemed to mock her.
No one mentioned the apology again, and Teacher Yu seemed to have forgotten about it, and was laughing so hard that he fell backwards.
Teacher Zhou felt very uncomfortable and suddenly stood up and rushed out of the classroom.
Teacher Yu curled his lips at her back.
Teacher Zhou rushed to the door of Class 154. She wandered outside for a while and grabbed a student, "Please call Lin Xi out."
Lin Xi came out quickly, still looking calm in front of her.
Teacher Zhou turned his head away awkwardly, and said in a whisper, "Um, I'm sorry, teacher shouldn't have--"
Lin Xi interrupted her without hesitation, "I don't care about anyone's slander, and I don't need anyone's apology. You should apologize to the teacher more than to me."
After saying this, Lin Xi turned and walked into the classroom.
Teacher Zhou watched Lin Xi's back disappear at the classroom door, suddenly covered his face with his hands, and ran away quickly.
After returning to the office, Teacher Zhou leaned on the desk for a long time before he raised his head with red eyes and sent a message to Teacher Yu with only three words, "I'm sorry."

After dinner, Lin Yuan was skewering meat in the kitchen, preparing to set up a stall. Lin Xi stepped into the kitchen, and Lin Yuan quickly shook his head, "Don't come here, go study."
"From now on, you don't have to go to the stall with me at night. I'm sorry for wasting your time. I should have thought of this earlier."
Lin Xi smiled, said nothing, and held the phone under Lin Yuan's nose.
Lin Yuan looked down, his eyes slowly widened, then he looked up at Lin Xi.
Lin Xi smiled and nodded at her, "You're not mistaken."
Lin Yuan was so excited that he threw away the skewers in his hand. "Oh my God, my sister actually got first place in the grade, 741. Is this a score a human can get?"
She then took off her gloves, snatched Lin Xi's phone and ran to Lin Fenfang's bedroom, "Mom - Mom - let me show you something!"
The laughter of her mother and sister soon came from the bedroom. Lin Xi walked over slowly and a smile appeared on her face.
Walking into the bedroom, Lin Fenfang reached out her hand, her eyes gleaming with joy. She grabbed her hand and rubbed it, "My little Xi is so proud of herself."
"Don't worry, Mom still has some money left here, enough for you to go to college."
In fact, the family had run out of money a long time ago. Lin Fenfang thought that Lin Xi's future was more important. She happened to have a medical expense that had not been claimed, which was about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. After getting the money, she would not go for dialysis anymore and would save the money for Lin Xi's schooling.
And Lin Yuan has already missed almost a year of studies, so he also needs to catch up quickly.
As long as she can get through these two months and wait for Lin Xi to get the university admission letter, she will die with peace of mind.
After returning to the kitchen, Lin Xi whispered to Lin Yuan, "Sister, I'm going out of town for a few days. You have to cover for Mom."
Lin Yuan's happy mood was instantly dampened. She was silent for a few seconds and sighed, "Go ahead. Since it's what you want to do, I support you."
"I'll tell Mom tomorrow that Zhu Tingting's parents are on a business trip and she's scared to be alone at home, so I want you to stay with her for a few days."
"My sister is so smart!" Lin Xi smiled and hugged her sister and kissed her, her saliva covering half of her face.
Lin Yuan rubbed his shoulder in disdain and said, "Go, go, go study, don't get in the way here."
Lin Xi left with a smile.
The next day, Lin Xi got up early again. She carried a bag, took a few sets of clothes, and a stack of books, and went to the TV station.
There were only more than a hundred contestants who passed the weighted cross-country race. Three buses were parked in the parking lot. Lin Xi took the race schedule and number plate and quickly got on the bus.
She didn't arrive early and there were already quite a few people on the bus. She found an empty seat and sat down. Soon, a tall woman sat next to her.
Lin Xi still took out the book from her backpack to read.
The tall woman next to her looked around for a while, then her eyes fell on Lin Xi, looking her up and down.
She suddenly reached out and pulled the book out of Lin Xi's hand. When she saw the cover, she burst into laughter. "Oh my God, how could someone read a Chinese textbook here!"
"You're not a high school student, are you?"
Lin Xi was reading intently when the book was suddenly snatched away.
She turned to look at the tall woman and said calmly, "Give me back the book."
The tall woman ignored her and waved the book in her hand, "Look everyone, this is a high school textbook. There's actually a high school student here, and it's a girl!"
"How did someone like that get through? There's no trickery going on in this year's competition, is there?"
Everyone in the car looked over here, and someone chuckled, "Maybe there really is something fishy going on."
Someone said, "Don't talk nonsense. This isn't a talent show. What's the point of sneaking in? Are you trying to get some shots?"
A man turned his head and glanced at Lin Xi. "Hey, don't talk about people like that, little girl. I can testify that she crossed the finish line before me that day!"
Qi Mo sat at the end of the carriage. He sat there because he wanted to be quiet and he didn't care about the noise in the carriage.
But when he combined the high school textbook with the words "little girl", a picture suddenly emerged in his mind: a beautiful girl sitting by the car window, reading quietly.
He couldn't help but look forward.
Lin Xi happened to stand up in the seat in front of him.
She snatched the book the woman was waving in her hand and said coldly, "It's very rude to take someone else's things without their permission. Hasn't anyone taught you that?"
After saying that, he rolled his eyes and sat down.
Qi Mo's deep eyes lit up slightly, it was really her!
