Lin Xiangyu sat in the classroom, tapping the table with his fingers, his eyes drifting towards the classroom door from time to time, looking forward to Zheng Xiuying's appearance.
Just when he was getting a little impatient, his cell phone dinged. It was a message from Zheng Xiuying.
[I may not be able to go back to the classroom, Teacher Shen wants to send me home and do a home visit. (；′⌒`) ]
When Lin Xiangyu saw the message, his brows instantly furrowed and his face was full of disappointment.
Before he could react, his phone vibrated twice in succession.
[Let’s do it another day, okay? ]
[Don't worry, I will never go back on my word.]
Lin Xiangyu gritted his teeth. Although he felt unwilling, he knew that today's plan was definitely ruined.
He tapped his fingers quickly on the screen: [Okay, let's do it another day. However, if we do it another day, I'll have to add one more time.]
After sending the message, he looked out the window and happened to see Shin Young-ae and Jung Soo-young walking out of the school gate together.
After a while, Zheng Xiuying's reply came.
[Okay, you can add one more time, but it’s a maximum of two times. No more. Don’t treat me as a tool to vent your desires.]
After reading it, Lin Xiangyu snorted coldly, put his phone in his pocket, ignored it, and stood up and left the classroom.
He walked out of the school gate, raised his hand to stop a taxi, and got in.
When Lin Xiangyu arrived home, the family was sitting around the dining table eating.
The warm yellow light shines on the dining table, and the aroma of food fills the air.
"Have you dealt with it so quickly?" Min Enjing raised her head and asked softly with a gentle smile on her face.
"Yeah." Lin Xiangyu forced a smile, nodded, and sat down at the dining table.
At this time, Pei Yilin glanced at Lin Xiangyu, with a hint of sarcasm on her lips, and said sarcastically: "Didn't someone say that he wouldn't come back for dinner tonight? I thought I could have a peaceful dinner tonight, but I didn't expect him to come back halfway through the meal. How unlucky."
Her voice was sharp, like a knife, cutting through the originally harmonious dining atmosphere.
"Yilin! How can you talk to your brother like that?" Min Eunjeong's face darkened instantly, and she scolded sternly, "Hurry up and apologize to your brother!"
"Brother Xiangyu is so generous, why would he bother with me?" Pei Yilin showed a sly expression on her face, her eyes narrowed into slits, and she said in a mean way, "Right, Brother Xiangyu?"
Seeing that Pei Yilin had no remorse, Min Enjing stood up with both hands on the dining table and shouted, "Pei Yilin! Apologize to your brother right now!"
"Will he dare to accept my apology?" Pei Yilin also stood up, her eyes wide open like bells, staring straight at Lin Xiangyu, "Do you need me to apologize to you?"
Lin Xiangyu was furious, but he knew Pei Yilin's personality. If he asked her to apologize, she might cause trouble. He waved his hand and said, "No need."
In his heart, Pei Yilin is like a powder keg that could explode at any time, so he would rather avoid provoking her than provoking her.
At this moment, he was thinking to himself: Pei Yilin is a mad dog that needs to be punished. Sooner or later, she will be severely punished!
White knife in, red knife out!
When Pei Yilin saw Lin Xiangyu "admitting defeat", a smug look immediately appeared on her face. She raised her head with her nose almost pointing to the sky and said, "I said Brother Xiangyu wouldn't argue with me, wasn't I right?"
"Pei Yilin! Apologize to your brother right now, and don't make me repeat myself!"
Min Eun-jeong's voice rose an octave, echoing throughout the room, and her eyes were full of anger and disappointment.
"Mom, he said there's no need to apologize, why do you insist on asking me to apologize?"
Pei Yilin instantly put on an aggrieved expression, her eyes were red, and her voice was crying. Her acting skills were worthy of an Oscar.
"Aunt Eunjeong, don't ask Yilin to apologize. I think she already knows she's wrong. Besides, as her brother, I won't hold it against her."
Lin Xiangyu had a smile on his face, but there was no warmth in that smile. In his heart, he wanted to stab Pei Yilin with his white knife.
Min Enjing looked serious and said earnestly: "That's not the case. This is a matter of upbringing. Don't talk to your brother or sister like that again. Do you hear me, Pei Yilin!"
"I heard it." Pei Yilin lowered her head, muttered softly, and looked reluctant.
"Mom, please sit down. Don't be angry." Jin Meimei hurriedly stood up, gently pulled Min Enjing's arm, pushed her back to her seat, then stood up and said to Lin Xiangyu, "Xiangyu, please sit down too. I'll go get you some food."
Jin Meimei never said a word to persuade Min Eunjeong from beginning to end. She knew in her heart that Pei Yilin was in the wrong and Lin Xiangyu must be feeling bad.
But she also knew Pei Yilin's temper. If she joined the criticism, things might get even worse.
During the following meal time, Pei Yilin was like a sulky child. She never even looked at Lin Xiangyu, let alone interacted with him.
After finishing her meal, she threw down her chopsticks, didn't even look back, and went upstairs with her hair tossed. Her footsteps made a clanging sound, as if she was venting her dissatisfaction.
After finishing his meal, Lin Xiangyu went straight back to his room. He walked to the desk, opened the drawer, and took out the suicide note left by the original owner.
Looking at the suicide note, a complex emotion flashed across Lin Xiangyu's eyes. Then he picked up the lighter he had just bought and lit it with a "pop". The flame quickly licked the suicide note, and the paper slowly curled and turned black.
Just as Lin Xiangyu threw the last bit of ashes into the trash can, he put it out with water.
Then, Lin Xiangyu lay on the bed and played with his mobile phone.
After an unknown amount of time passed, there was a knock on the door.
“Boom boom boom~”
