Chapter 19 He is not worthy of Lin Xicai wanted to say something, but he had already...
Lin Xicai wanted to say something, but he had already looked away and walked away.
Although she didn't actually fall, this little episode attracted a lot of people's attention. Two female classmates who had a good relationship with Lin Xicai came over and expressed their concern for her.
The physical education teacher called for the class to be dismissed, and Lin Xicai was dragged by several girls to the lawn. As soon as she sat down on the lawn, a female classmate came over and asked her with a gossipy look, "How did you do that?"
Lin Xicai was dusting herself off when she looked up and asked, "What?"
The female classmate thought for a moment and said seriously, "Don't you think Xie Shi has a special interest in you?"
"I was about to fall flat on my face, so isn't it normal for him to help me up?"
"Come on," the female classmate said, curling her lips. "He's that kind of eccentric weirdo. If it were anyone else, he wouldn't even blink an eye even if they hanged themselves in front of him. Especially towards girls, it's like he has some misogyny. He actually pulled you in. This is very abnormal."
"Exactly. I think what Xiang Ling said is correct," another female classmate agreed. "And how do you explain what happened at the sports meet last time? A grown man deliberately brought girls' clothes and shoes, and as soon as you asked to borrow them, he immediately took them out, even in the right size. How is that reasonable?"
"Hahaha, yes, yes," Xiang Ling laughed heartily, with a mischievous look on her face, and teased half-heartedly, "If it weren't for his weird personality, I'd be a bit of a fan of you two. To be honest, the two of you standing together really look so good together."
"..." Lin Xicai rolled her eyes at the sky. "May the heavens judge between loyalty and treachery. The truth is, our words, added up to no more than ten sentences..."
"Ten sentences?! Oh my god, it's been less than a month and he's already spoken ten sentences to you. He can't even speak ten sentences to the rest of us combined in a month!"
Lin Xicai: “…”
"Hey, hey, hey, so your deskmate's attendance rate is so high this month, could it be because of you?" Xiang Ling covered her mouth and wailed exaggeratedly, "If that's the case, Zhong Fei, you've really hurt us all."
"That's right. It's been so long since we had a free chat in the classroom. Why are we living such a depressing life during our prime years..."
“…”
Listening to their increasingly outrageous remarks, Lin Xicai almost laughed out loud, "You're pushing this huge cauldron onto me? Don't you have any regrets?"
Special attention?
Lin Xicai pulled the corners of her lips and got goosebumps all over her body.
…
The fourth class in the morning was a math class. Lin Xicai followed the class carefully, but she could only understand less than 30% of it. For a senior high school student, a complicated question was made up of many layers of basic knowledge, and those things that might be common sense to others were the first time she had seen them.
The teacher was explaining how 99 became 100, but she had to relearn how 0 became 1. And understanding the step from 0 to 1 was the most crucial, and she was stuck there.
She had to find a way, because the next monthly exam was next week.
It's no use just forcing herself to follow like this. She is still at the novice stage and must find someone to guide her through the basics.
She didn't have much time, and this matter was important and had to be done quickly.
Who to find? How to arrange it specifically? This is a problem. If I hire a tutor, what is the approximate cost? Can the mother and daughter afford it?
After school at noon, Lin Xicai lay on the table, feeling quite frustrated. She waited until most people had left the classroom before she slowly packed up her things and walked out.
When going downstairs, Lin Xicai stared at the stairs under her feet, and her mind became active again.
My spellcasting was interrupted during physical education class, but I can continue now, right?
It's normal to twist and fall here...
Thinking of this, Lin Xicai tentatively stretched out her foot.
Then, before she could take a step forward, her neck suddenly felt tight, her uniform collar was grabbed from behind, and a familiar force pulled her backwards.
"Cough cough..." Lin Xicai was strangled and kept coughing. Her eyes were red and she immediately cried physiologically.
She turned her head with tears in her eyes, and saw that cold and indifferent handsome face again.
Lin Xicai: “…”
Is this person a ghost?
Why is it haunting you?
She just wanted to get hurt, why was it so difficult?
A pure prison-style, explosively reformed philanthropist? Does he have any KPIs for helping others?
And... she hasn't even taken a step yet, how come she's already jumped in to answer?
Xie Shi looked at her, his expression was even uglier than when he was on the playground, and he seemed even more unhappy - she didn't know if it was her illusion, but he seemed to be suppressing an inexplicable anger.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
This is a question.
It's more like a question than a doubt.
Lin Xicai was stunned for a moment, then forced a smile, "I lost my balance and almost fell. Thanks to you for saving me again."
The man pursed his lips, seemingly ignoring her. Uncomfortably, he let go of her and walked ahead, his figure tall and straight, like a pine or cypress, exuding a coldness and indifference that kept strangers away.
Lin Xicai curled the corners of her lips, not wanting to dwell on his going crazy for no reason, so she stopped talking and quietly followed him down the stairs.
But unexpectedly, after taking three or two steps, the man suddenly stopped and turned back.
Lin Xicai was caught off guard and failed to brake in time, crashing into his arms, her forehead hitting his chin, which was hot and painful.
She was frightened and stepped back subconsciously, but her footsteps tripped over the steps and she lost her balance and began to fall backwards.
However, before she landed on the ground, her waist felt tighter and she fell back into that cold embrace. When she opened her eyes, she saw his slightly rolling Adam's apple.
The two of them were so close that she suspected that every breath she exhaled would brush against his neck.
Such an association made her body stiffen a little. She raised her eyes and saw that the man had drooped eyelashes and was looking at her indifferently.
He lowered his eyes to look at her, examining her from a condescending perspective.
There was something strange in his eyes, honest, straightforward, and rational, like a cold scalpel, trying to dissect her soul.
His gaze lingered on her face, but ultimately it was tinged with a hint of confusion, as if he had tried everything but still couldn't see through her.
She is the one who is so naive and simple that she is a little stupid.
She is also the one with deep scheming and sinister means.
Why can a person be divided like this?
What kind of person is this?
She was like a pool of seemingly clear water, so pure that one could see to the bottom at a glance, but she would change color, and he could never guess what color the water would be in the next second.
When he thought she was a fool, she would suddenly do something unexpected, and when he thought she was a smart person, she would suddenly do something extremely stupid.
Like now.
For a mere Li Ci, she actually wanted to hurt herself.
His eyes suddenly turned uncontrollably cold, and a long-lost anger flashed through his chest that even he couldn't understand. Who the hell is Li Ci? Is he worthy of it?
Lin Xicai felt uneasy when he stared at her. She was startled by his suddenly sharp eyes and was a little confused.
"Is this your way of solving the problem?" Xie Shi stared at her, his originally clear and pleasant voice covered with a layer of frost. "Are you an idiot?"
?
Lin Xicai was so angry at these words that her mind buzzed and was almost blank.
Is there something wrong with this person's brain?
You keep saying this and that, and then start with personal attacks?
Lin Xicai tried her best to calm down, her pretty face flushed with anger. She suppressed the urge to curse, "...Are you sure you're talking to me? We don't seem to have any grudges, right? Or did I forget?"
She was ready to fight, but the man had no intention of accepting the attack. He snorted, turned around and walked away.
Lin Xicai: “…”
Can't get angry.
Can't get angry.
His mental state is so crazy, just let him go.
Lin Xicai took a deep breath, and finally decided not to bother with him for the sake of her sportswear and sneakers.
…
After lunch at noon, Lin Xicai returned to the classroom and sat down in her seat. When she reached into the drawer to take out some tissues, she found an extra package in the drawer.
Lin Xicai was stunned for a moment, pulled out the bulging plastic bag a little, looked down at the contents, and couldn't help but pause.
There were many medicines inside, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, internal and external use, ointments, tablets, and gauze bandages... Everything she could think of and couldn't think of was found in there.
It was more medicine than she needed.
Lin Xicai was happy at first, but the joy that had just appeared on her face soon turned into uneasiness.
Who sent these things?
How did the other party know that she needed these?
Lin Xicai subconsciously looked at the seat next to her. Her crazy classmate hadn't arrived yet, so it obviously couldn't be him. Then who could it be?
Lin Xicai calmly put the medicines into her backpack with a strange look on her face.
Lin Xicai lay on the table for a while. When the first class in the afternoon was about to start, a shadow fell on her side and her deskmate came late.
Lin Xicai stood up and gave up her seat. Xie Shi walked past her and sat down in his own seat.
After he was seated, Lin Xicai slowly sat down in her own seat. She couldn't help but look at him, trying to find some flaws on his face, but like many times before, she found no emotion.
After a moment of silence, she finally couldn't help but ask, "Did you buy anything?"
Xie Shi nodded, "Yeah."
Lin Xicai looked over with an inexplicable look in her eyes: "What did you buy?"
Then, under her expectant and anxious gaze, he reached into his pocket, took out a rice ball and placed it on the table.
Lin Xicai: “…”
Who cares what you eat?
When she didn't ask.
Xie Shi seemed to glance at her, and a slight arc appeared at the corner of his lips, which disappeared in a flash. He tore open the rice ball in front of her and started to eat it elegantly and politely beside her.
