Chapter 105: High School Ends and Passion Burns

Lin Xiao has been to Shanghai many times, and each time he went there was always in a hurry.

Either I catch up on my sleep on the train, or I type furiously on my computer.

But this time, I felt relieved.

I should be nervous because the college entrance examination is coming soon.

After the college entrance examination, it’s time to meet Momo again.

But his whole pace slowed down and he seemed unhurried.

"The Graveyard Book" was published last month and it received rave reviews. It's possible that there was no Douban in that era, otherwise the score would have been at least 9.0.

But the sales are just decent, not booming.

According to Wang Liang, if we take the long-term approach, there should be no problem in eventually selling 300,000 copies.

Both Wang Liang and Wen Zifei said that they were very satisfied with this result, which was considered a good start for Wanjuan Company.

But there was still a hint of regret in his words.

Because the results of the New Concept Writing Competition came out, Lin Xiao won the first prize.

And I learned from Bai Wanqing that although there are dozens of first prizes, Lin Xiao's first prize is unique and far ahead of others.

It’s a pity that Lin Xiao is unwilling to cooperate with the hype.

He was also unwilling to connect Master Ergou with Lin Xiao, otherwise the sales would definitely explode.

It wasn’t even promoted on Yangwang or in the live broadcast room.

Wang Liang tried to ask Lin Xiao if he was willing to hold an offline signing event, but Lin Xiao refused.

In fact, writers generally have no way to refuse offline book signings. But Wang Liang knew that Lin Xiao was not an ordinary writer. He owned a company that was very popular on the Internet.

Lightning Technology.

At least within the circle, it has become a hot topic.

We have created a new business model and are making money every day.

Even Wang Liang felt that Leader Ergou was an extremely impressive person, and he did not dare to disrespect him at all.

In fact, when the results of the New Concept Writing Competition came out, I don’t know how many cultural entrepreneurs found Lin Xiao.

Willing to spend money to support him and ensure that he will be the next Han Han.

No, more famous than Han Han.

Because his articles can not only impress young people, but also conquer adults.

But Lin Xiao refused, so this group of cultural businessmen set their sights on Lian Yi.

Lian Yi also has a lot to discover.

She is beautiful and delicate, with a look comparable to that of a celebrity.

Beautiful writers are very popular these days, but there are few who truly possess top-notch looks.

But Lian Yi is a rising star in piano and a top student, making her even more suitable for hype.

Even better, she could create a perfect couple with Lin Xiao, the literary genius.

But Lian Yi also refused.

The New Concept Writing Competition had a great influence on this idea. Throughout May, Lin Xiao received invitations from more than a dozen TV stations.

And most of them are from satellite TV stations, and one is from CCTV.

Of course, the CCTV program was not the main guest. Han Han, Lian Yi, a bunch of social scientists, and several professors were also invited.

In fact, there was a program called "Dialogue" before, which invited Han Han and his opposite number Wang Silu. This episode of the program seemed to be understanding, but in fact it was criticism.

The purpose this time is the same, and even more convincing.

Because they both won the first prize of New Concept, Lin Xiao and Lian Yi are both excellent in both character and academic performance, and are top-notch students.

Lian Yi, in particular, meets everyone's definition of excellence.

But Lin Xiao refused, and Lian Yi also refused.

Finally, the group of people set their sights on another person, Xiao Si.

As in history, he has walked the path of an iconic writer.

…………………………

Damn it, I still couldn’t buy a ticket to go back to Linshan this time because it was summer vacation and many college students went home.

Lin Xiao went straight into the soft sleeper car to buy the ticket as usual.

Coincidentally, it was that train attendant lady again.

"Come in, come in..." The young lady waved her hand.

Lin Xiao handed over a box of chocolates. The conductor took it quickly, hid it behind her, and winked at him.

This is certainly not a bribe, it’s just that Lin Xiao is good-looking.

He is probably the most likable and defenseless now.

It's full of youthfulness, but also a little more grown-up, with a bit of masculinity.

Adult women can enjoy it without restraint, but after one or two years, when they become men, they will no longer be able to enjoy this treatment.

Lin Xiao was going to find a seat and sit down as usual, waiting for the conductor to come and buy the ticket.

As a result, when passing by a private room, he was stopped by someone.

"Lin, Lin Xiao..."

Lin Xiao looked over and thought, what a coincidence.

It immediately brought back the beautiful memories of the last time in the soft sleeper car. Sister Li Shuang’s butt crack was so deep, so smooth, and so warm.

The person who called Lin Xiao was Nana from Tongji University, whom he met on the train last time.

Her full name is Yao Na.

She has a good-looking appearance, but she is very good at dressing up, putting on makeup, and showing off her curves, so at first glance, she is a typical beauty.

Of course, a typical beauty is someone who looks really pretty when you see her, but not very memorable when you don’t see her.

This time the four people were two men and two women.

Another girl is Sister Guoguo from Fudan Law School, whose full name is Lin Guoer. She is prettier than Yao Na and has big eyes.

He just looks serious, wearing glasses and looks very solemn.

He should come from a good family, and he is reserved yet a little arrogant.

There were two men, one with long hair, a little handsome, and a rebellious look. He occasionally glanced at Lin Guoer, unable to hide his love for her.

There was also a girl with short hair, who was concentrating on playing games and ignored everyone.

"Senior Sister Nana, Senior Sister Guoguo, it's summer vacation for you." Lin Xiao sat down on the boys' bunk.

The boy with long hair glanced at Lin Xiao and frowned slightly.

Maybe he thought Lin Xiao was more handsome and felt threatened, but he felt that he was more handsome and richer than Lin Xiao, so he was fine. He just nodded and greeted Lin Xiao and continued reading.

Because Lin Guoer was also reading.

Yao Na was very enthusiastic and pulled Lin Xiao to talk about this and that.

"The handsome guy reading the book is from the Computer Science Department of Fudan University. His name is Zhang Yuting. Hahahaha..."

The long-haired boy who was reading a book immediately said in dissatisfaction: "What are you laughing at? What's so funny? My grandfather gave me the name, go find him."

Because Yuting is Zhang Zuolin's pen name.

"The person playing games on the computer is Ding Yuanzhi, a computer genius who interned at Microsoft China during his senior year summer vacation."

Lin Xiao leaned over to take a look and was slightly surprised.

The game the other party was playing was actually "The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind".

Is this game actually released in China? Lin Xiao was immediately interested, and he came forward and soon started playing with Ding Yuanzhi.

In his previous life, he first played The Elder Scrolls 5. He played it countless times and installed dozens of MODs. He also went to the Love Lab every few days.

Later, I was not satisfied, so I played The Elder Scrolls 4 and The Elder Scrolls 3, and was extremely looking forward to The Elder Scrolls 6. As a result, after waiting for a long time, there was not even a trailer for this game. Maybe Bethesda just created a folder at that time.

The highly anticipated "Starry Sky" has another big disappointment.

There were no guides online at that time, so you had to explore on your own. Lin Xiao had played it before, so he just stood by and gave pointers, acting very familiar with the place.

After a while, even when the two of them were playing together, sometimes Lin Xiao even took Ding Yuanzhi's mouse to help him operate it, and he put his arm around his shoulders while playing.

However, the expressions of the people around became strange, and even the serious Lin Guoer seemed to be trying hard to hold back her laughter.

Laughing at chicken feathers.

Ding Yuanzhi turned around and said to Lin Xiao seriously: "Brother, although I don't care much, I still want to tell you that I am a woman."

ah?!

Lin Xiao quickly moved his arm away.

No, brother.

You don't look like a woman at all.

Yao Na couldn't help laughing immediately.

Then, she continued to introduce: "This is Lin Xiao, a senior student at Linshan No. 1 Middle School. He will take the college entrance examination soon. His goal is also to study at Fudan University."

"Ah? Lin Xiao..." Yao Na suddenly said, "This name sounds familiar. Did you win the first prize in the New Concept Essay Competition?"

Lin Xiao nodded.

Lin Guoer couldn't help but look up at Lin Xiao. This was probably the first time she looked at Lin Xiao straight in the eye.

Zhang Yuting couldn't help but feel jealous and said, "New Concept Essay Competition? It's just a child's game. In terms of literary talent, you are far inferior to the other person."

"Have you read this book? It's The Graveyard Book, written by Master Ergou. He's a true literary genius."

"New Concept Composition is just a child's whining."

"You know, this Ergou not only wrote The Graveyard Book, but his Commentary on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is also a classic. He also started an Internet company, You know the Itchy Live Room? It's very popular now. He is an idol worth worshipping."

Then Zhang Yuting sighed and said, "What a pity, his only stain now is that materialistic girl, Qu Feifei."

Qu Feifei is very popular now, but her reputation is also very bad. As the one who discovered and trained her, the reputation of Ergou has also been affected.

Although Leader Ergou was able to cultivate someone like Qu Feifei, he himself is not a good person either.

This is the attack point of many black fans.

Yao Na said from the side: "Hey, Zhang Yuting, you can't target Lin Xiao just because he is more handsome than you. Winning the first prize in the New Concept Essay is still very impressive."

"He's more handsome than me?" Zhang Yuting flicked her hair and said, "Yao Na, when did you go blind? It's fine if you say Senior Wu Di is more handsome than me, but him?"

"Shut up..." Yao Na shouted, "You are not allowed to humiliate Wu Di."

Lin Guoer beside her nodded seriously and said, "Yes, you are not allowed to humiliate Wu Di."

Suddenly, Zhang Yuting was shocked and a little shaken about his appearance. Then he looked at himself in the window of the train.

I quickly regained my confidence and realized that I am still very handsome.

About two minutes later, Ding Yuanzhi, who was playing games, raised his head and said, "Yes, you are not allowed to humiliate Wu Di."

Damn, your reaction time is a little too long.

Then she looked at Lin Xiao and continued, "Besides, Lin Xiao is indeed much more handsome than you."

A heartbreaking sound was suddenly heard in the carriage.

…………………………

In the evening, Qu Feifei continued to live broadcast, and even Lin Xiao continued to live broadcast.

Qu Feifei’s live broadcast room is still packed and more lively than ever before.

Eighty percent of the people there are scolding her, while 20 percent support her, most of whom are female fans.

Although there are already fifty live broadcast rooms on Yangyang, the daily revenue contributed by Qu Feifei's live broadcast room is still around one-fifth.

However, the main consumers are no longer the black fans who pay for connections, but the true fans who spend a lot of money on her in order to fight against the black fans.

True fans have formed a slogan: All haters are poor! The poorer they are, the more narrow-minded they are, and the poorer they are, the less they can bear to hear the truth.

As soon as these words came out, there were more haters. In order to prove this point, the true fans were throwing money at Ou Feifei every day.

Zhu Hongbin is one of the true fans and he has spent more than 100,000 yuan from beginning to end.

Of course, this is a small amount of money for his family.

However, his account has been temporarily frozen these days. Leader Ergou sent him a message: The college entrance examination is coming soon, calm down and take it, and we will talk about everything after the exam.

Suddenly, Zhu Hongbin’s loyalty increased by 1.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

So there is a small problem now. The Yangyang live broadcast room seems to be still booming, but Lin Xiao and Xia Xi both know that it will soon reach its peak. However, there are still some die-hard fans.

When the time really comes to sell Yangyang.com and Yangyang Live Studio, these die-hard fans will probably be very sad, and even feel betrayed.

Therefore, the next big show must be performed well, not only not to make these die-hard fans sad, but also to increase their loyalty and enthusiasm once again.

"Hello everyone, I won't curse for the next few days."

"I will appear at the CCTV Youth Song Contest at 8:30 pm on July 10th. Everyone is welcome to watch."

“I hope to bring surprises to everyone.”

Suddenly, Qu Feifei’s live broadcast room exploded.

True fans flooded the screen with comments: Sister Feifei, you are actually going to participate in the Youth Song Contest, that’s amazing, I’m so looking forward to it, so much.

Haters flooded the screen with messages: You, you still want to participate in the Youth Song Contest? You have such a hoarse voice, can you sing?

Haters: The people at CCTV are blind. People like you should be banned. Why are you still participating in the Youth Song Contest? You have tarnished the Youth Song Contest.

Anti-fan: Yes, I will never watch the Youth Song Contest again.

Black fan: Sister BMW, your voice is so hoarse, was it damaged by Master Ergou?

Hater: Ergou made you so famous, and you look like this, is there an unspoken rule between them? Has he slept with you? He must have stabbed you all over.

Faced with these black fans' remarks, Ou Feifei always ignores them, because this is just the beginning and there are many more unpleasant remarks.

At this time she couldn't help but reply: I dream of him stabbing me.

All of a sudden, both the haters and true fans were defeated.

No matter how much the haters curse, who wouldn’t be confused when seeing Qu Feifei’s looks, figure, and sexy little wild cat look?

Leader Ergou, you really deserve to die.

………………………………

Suddenly, a voice message popped up from Bubble, with a serious tone.

"Husband, I'm going to ask you a question, and you have to answer me seriously."

Ergou, who was using a voice changer, quickly replied: "Baby, Qu Feifei and I are innocent. I promise."

"Ah?" Paopao was stunned, then asked with caution: "What happened to Qu Feifei? Did she seduce you?"

Xia Xi next to him glanced at him with contempt. You are too naive to be a scumbag. A man must not admit anything except being caught in bed. Why don't you confess yourself? "No." Ergou said, "You have never been so serious. What question are you asking?"

Bubble asked seriously: "Honey, do you like breasts more or butts more?"

ah?!

Suddenly, Xia Xi put down the work in her hands and rushed over quickly.

Ergou really couldn't bear it, because Bubble actually said those flirty words in the purest and most flawless tone.

Bubble: "Hurry up and tell me. You can only choose one."

Ergou said without hesitation: "Butt."

Bubble: "Okay, I got it."

Then, she went offline directly.

Lin Xiao and Xia Xi were left confused.

"What is she going to do?" Lin Xiao asked.

Xia Xi shook her head and said, "I don't know."

"But how does she manage to be so pure and yet so coquettish?"

Lin Xiao: “I don’t know either.”

Xia Xi stepped forward, grabbed Lin Xiao's neck and said, "You bastard, you don't deserve her."

"Why am I not a man?" Xia Xi said indignantly, "If I were a man, what would you have to do with me, Ergou? Paopao and Shuangshuang are both mine."

Lin Xiao said: "Sister Li Shuang and I are innocent."

Xia Xi said disdainfully: "Qingbai, you pushed someone's butt crack and made them wet."

Fuck.

What's wrong with you women? Why do you say everything?

If you don't behave like a human being, I will behave like a dog.

…………………………………………

The afternoon of July 6th was the last class.

The college entrance examination will be held on the next three days, July 7, August 8 and September 9.

Lin Xiao finally showed up in the classroom, and he only dared to come when he was sure that Paopao was not in school.

We will meet in a few days, and it has been 215 days since the last time I met Bubble in person.

It has been long enough that Bubble should be about to forget what Lin Xiao looked like originally.

Li Mingchao said slowly: "I have been sharpening my sword for more than ten years, but I have never tested the frosty blade. Tomorrow I will show it to you and see who can shock the world."

"This poem is not well edited. My writing skills are far inferior to Lin Xiao's, but it also expresses my true feelings."

"I say every day that you are the worst class I have ever taught."

"But today I have to tell you the truth. You are the best class I have ever taught and the one that brings me the most pride."

"I have confiscated your martial arts novels, separated your couple, called your parents, and even twisted some people's ears."

"All these grievances do not need to be written off."

"For the next three days, you are welcome to slap me in the face with your college entrance examination scores."

"Eat well and sleep well. I wish all the students will be admitted to the university with high scores."

After saying this, Li Mingchao turned and walked away, not wanting anyone to see his tears.

Today is really the last time for the whole class to get together.

And it is the last time we are together in this life.

They dispersed right after the college entrance exam, and when they got together again, only 80% of them were still together, and that was more than ten years later.

Zhu Hongbin came to Lin Xiao with a notebook and said, "Everyone has prepared a yearbook and asked to write a sentence. I prepared one but didn't take it out because I thought it was boring. But now I suddenly want to take it out. I'm the first one to ask you to write it for me. Can you give me this face?"

"Okay." Lin Xiao took it.

I picked up a pen and wrote a line on Zhu Hongbin's yearbook: You are excellent, really! Please continue to be excellent!

He did not show off his literary talent, but used the most straightforward words.

Then, Zhong Lianping came over with the yearbook and asked everyone in the class to fill in their names, except Lin Xiao, the last one left.

Lin Xiao took it and wrote on it: Don’t worry about trivial matters.

Because Lin Xiao was not in class all the time, his classmates handed him their yearbooks and asked him to write.

Lin Xiao wrote very seriously, without any perfunctory attitude. He wrote down a sincere word based on the characteristics of each student.

Li Zhongtian was too familiar with Lin Xiao and he often stayed in Lin Xiao's company to help. He asked others to write the yearbook and did not let Lin Xiao write it, but seeing the current atmosphere, it seemed inappropriate not to write it.

So, he also handed the yearbook to Lin Xiao: "How about you write a sentence for me too."

Lin Xiao took it and wrote on it in a flourish: Comrade Zhongtian, please rest assured that the organization will help you lose your virginity within two years.

Fuck!

Li Zhongtian quickly snatched the yearbook and hid it, fearing that others would see it.

But a sentence suddenly crossed my mind: Two years? Isn’t that a bit long?

There are still two classmates in the class who have not been included in the yearbook, one is Lian Yi and the other is Xiao Lin.

After Lin Xiao helped everyone finish writing the yearbook, Xiao Lin came over in a white dress and asked Lin Xiao, "Lin Xiao, I don't have a yearbook ready. You're going to Fudan University, right?"

The whole class suddenly became quiet and stared at Xiao Lin.

No way, at this critical moment, you are so brave?

Lin Xiao nodded and said, "Yes."

Xiao Lin said: "Okay."

Lin Xiao was speechless for a moment, because if he remembered correctly, Xiao Lin's score in the college entrance examination seemed to be 643 points, which was a risky score for admission to Fudan University.

At this moment, Lin Xiao's cell phone rang and he received a text message: Good luck in the college entrance examination, I am determined to win the top spot in the city's college entrance examination, but I would be even happier if it was you.

Lin Xiao stared at the text message for a while, and then was brought back to reality by a burst of noise.

Wang Lei actually went up to the podium holding Yu Tingting's hand, and everyone immediately looked at him.

Wang Lei said loudly: "I have an announcement. Yu Tingting and I are in love."

"My idol, Master Ergou, said that if you don't pretend to be cool, you are not worthy of being young."

Then, he put his arms around Yu Tingting's waist and kissed her on the mouth.

The whole class was shocked.

Then there was a deafening cheer.

Only two people looked unhappy. Zhong Lianping looked extremely embarrassed and heartbroken.

"My first love, Yu Tingting, are you blind?"

"I'm obviously better than Wang Lei in academics and more handsome than him, and my father is a town official."

Another person who looked unhappy was Zhu Hongbin, and it was not because of Yu Tingting.

At this moment, there was only one sentence in his mind: Idiot, are you qualified to be a fan of Ergou?

This is the end of high school life.

Years of passion.

July 7! The college entrance examination that determines the fate of countless people is here.

These three days were important, but they also went by very quickly.

Xiao Momo did not even participate in the invigilation of this college entrance examination. After submitting her resignation report, she went to Shanghai early.

……………………

Note: I have reached the fourth place. Long live the benefactor! I have only a slight advantage of a few dozen votes. I want to defend the fourth place. Can you continue to give me the monthly ticket?
