Chapter 138 The mantis stalks the cicada



Lu Zhuer handed over a small piece of bread from behind, and Jiang Xi accepted it with a smile: "Thank you."

Seeing that Sun Ting was still worried, he patted her head and said, "What are you afraid of? At worst, we can just fight to the death."

Compared to my previous life, this was just physical pain.

Imagination is rich, but reality is cruel.

Jiang Xi thought he would run the 3,000-meter race with great vigor and confidence, but unexpectedly, he was pulled down by the teacher halfway through. The young physical education teacher's face flushed and he looked uncomfortable: "Student, you don't have to run anymore."

Jiang Xi covered her churning belly and said, "No need to run anymore?"

It was naturally better not to have to run. Jiang Xi had no intention of doing a triathlon in her life, so she withdrew understandingly. It was not until she got to the classroom that she understood why the teacher was hesitating. The back of her school pants was stained red.

Jiang Xi changed the small bread as if nothing had happened, but there was a puddle of liquid on the back of his pants, and there was nothing he could do.

When the bell rang, a group of students came back one after another. Lu Zhuer smiled when she saw her: "Silly girl, I guess someone will come to give you warmth soon, so go on, okay?"

Jiang Xi glanced at her, not understanding what she meant. She had become more talkative recently. "What warmth?"

Before he could finish his words, a familiar voice came from the door: "Jiang Xi!"

Jiang Xi looked up and saw Lu Hao standing straight at the door of her classroom like a spirited little poplar, looking at her with burning eyes.

Jiang Xi lazily didn't want to get up: "What's the matter?"

Lu Hao's face flushed red.

The boy was shy and shook the coat in his hand. Jiang Xi then noticed: "You..."

Send warmth?

Let her tie it around her waist?

She understood immediately.

But Jiang Xi didn't want it.

Lu Hao opened his mouth and the light in his eyes went out. He was such a handsome boy in school, but he was standing at the door of the class at a loss, which was actually a bit pitiful.

Jiang Xi is not soft-hearted, but someone feels soft-hearted for him.

Chen Jing went up to him and said, "I'll help you get it to Jiang Xi."

Jiang Xi looked at him expressionlessly. Was he jealous?

some.

I guess she's never going to get better from being so petty.

But Lu Hao was different, she didn't want to snatch him away. He was very clean and simple, and the two of them... seemed to be a good match.

Lu Hao gave the coat to Chen Jing. Chen Jing came over hesitantly. Jiang Xi looked at her and said coldly, "Chen Jing, you are responsible for the things you receive."

"cocoa……"

Jiang Xi looked at Chen Jing's red eyes and remained unmoved. The two of them froze for a moment.

During the stalemate, Liu Yun's scream broke the silence:

"Ah—Jingjing's necklace is missing."

Chen Jing clutched Lu Hao's coat and hurried back to her seat, her face pale. Liu Yun stared at her pencil case, "Jingjing, I remember you put it here before gym class. How come it's gone?"

"Yeah, I put it here."

A Swarovski necklace is still extremely precious to a high school student. Although Chen Jing's family is not poor, it is not so well-off that she can just ignore it after losing it.

"Jiang Xi, did you steal it?"

Misfortune comes unexpectedly.

Jiang Xi's eyes tightened, and Sun Ting angrily replied: "Liu Yun, you must be responsible for what you say."

"Who else could it be but Jiang Xi?" Liu Yun swore confidently, "The necklace was still here before PE class, and it was gone in one class. Besides, Jiang Xi's family is so poor now, they don't even have a roof over their heads. Maybe she stole it?"

Everyone in Class 1 knew that Jiang Xi didn't attend the physical education class.

Jiang Xi took a deep breath and felt that even the air in Shen City was fragrant.

"Okay, let's go."

Master Huang stepped on the accelerator and drove all the way out from the passenger drop-off area of ​​the train station, but he couldn't help but glance at the girl in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

She was about sixteen or seventeen years old, very good-looking, fair but not unhealthy pale, her skin as translucent as if it were the finest white jade, her complexion was excellent, and although she had no expression on her face, just sitting there properly, she looked like a person walking out of a painting, beautiful and energetic.

Can……

It's just a little strange.

Mr. Huang has been a taxi driver for many years and has seen all kinds of people, ugly and beautiful, rich and poor, pretty and not pretty. But no matter who they are, they will try their best to keep themselves decent when going out. But this girl is different. She is sloppy. The collar of her white T-shirt is stained with yellow, and the cuffs are inexplicably missing half. Even her ripped jeans look like they have been rolled in mud - forming a huge contrast with her clean and pretty face.

"Fell?"

Jiang Xi supported his chin and looked out the window silently, ignoring Master Huang's attempts to talk to him.

In her previous life, she had returned to Shen City once, but at that time, Shen City was a huge empty city and a place of endless sadness to her. She came with hope and left in despair. In the end, until her death, she did not dare to set foot in Shen City again.

The Shanghai market twelve years later is not much different from twelve years ago.

This small southern city has always been slow-paced, and the people of the entire city, Shen, lack the liveliness of a big city. Their behavior is very elderly-like, as if they are out of touch with the times.

“…I didn’t fall.”

Jiang Xi's voice was hoarse.

It took Master Huang a while to realize that the girl was answering his previous question, "Then how did it become like this? My parents will be heartbroken later."

Jiang Xi couldn't think straight, because the thought made him want to go home: "Master, can we drive faster?"

Master Huang said "Oh" cheerfully, changed gears and accelerated, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the taxi shot out like an arrow, like a slippery fish, skillfully weaving through the flickering lights of the city.
