Chapter 56: The two of them were too eye-catching and were stuck in this stalemate...
The two people were too eye-catching, and their stalemate quickly attracted everyone's attention.
Xiang Ling's face turned pale. She was worried about Lin Xicai and wanted to intervene but didn't dare to.
Xu Tian also walked over and looked at Lin Xicai intently, his face pale.
The people around were watching the fun - they interpreted the undercurrents between the few people as a Shura field. The real girlfriend was here, but the boyfriend was holding on to another girl. This drama was really hard to look away.
But as I watched, something seemed wrong.
The emotions in Li Ci's eyes were so complex and intense that even the dullest person could smell the danger in them.
They had heard before that Li Ci had been targeting Zhong Fei before he disappeared, and they were skeptical at the time, but now it seems that it was not groundless.
They were all surprised at Li Ci's persistence. This man had been missing for so long and almost lost his life, but when he came back he immediately set his sights on her again. While everyone was worried about Lin Xicai, they also felt a little sympathy for Xu Tian.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lin Xicai seemed a little scared, but her fear and panic were performed so naturally and flawlessly.
Yes, there was no flaw. Even Li Ci himself didn't know what he was doing or what answer he wanted.
He stared at the person in front of him, and all signs told him that this person had nothing to do with him.
But my heart seemed to be shouting, this is not the case.
His heart ached, it had been aching since the moment he saw her.
It was beating violently, as if something inside was about to jump out, making him scared and... overly excited.
During the stalemate, Li Ci's hand that was holding Lin Xicai's forearm was hit hard by a basketball flying from a distance. Li Ci's hand was knocked away, and he looked over and looked at Xie Shi across the crowd.
Xie Shi's gaze lingered between the two of them; his eyes were cold and moist, with disgust mixed with an inexplicable jealousy.
Everyone gasped, the drama seemed to be getting more and more complicated.
Li Ci gritted his teeth and seemed to be about to explode, but Xu Tian held his arm softly. She looked at him and pleaded with her eyes.
At the same time, another tall and straight figure walked to Lin Xicai's side. In public, Xie Shi grabbed Lin Xicai's wrist tightly and led her out of the cafeteria.
Between two evils, Lin Xicai chose the lesser one. She struggled a bit when he pulled her up, but couldn't break free, so he let her go.
Li Ci stood there stiffly with Xu Tian holding his arm. Looking at the backs of the two people cuddling together, his eyes were sore and red, his chest was blocked and he was extremely panicked. Something strong almost killed him, but he couldn't understand what it was.
When Xie Shi stepped out of the cafeteria, he looked back at him and saw the same murderous intent in those eyes.
When Xie Shi and Lin Xicai walked out of the cafeteria, Lin Xicai pulled his hand away, and his eyes no longer had the calmness they had just had.
Xie Shi stared at her, about to say something, but she raised her hand to stop him, "Do you think you have that much face? I let him out because I really wanted to. It has nothing to do with you."
Lin Xicai said, "I don't know how much you know about me, and I don't want to ask, but you should know that I'm not that weak. I can handle anything that happens next. I just ask that you don't act on your own and cause me trouble again."
Xie Shi looked at her, neither nodding nor shaking his head.
But after that day, she always ran into him on her way to and from school. He seemed to become even more clingy, almost never leaving her side. Even Zhu Hongfei and Xiang Ling secretly joked about him being a 24-hour bodyguard.
Lin Xicai went to school every morning, and as soon as she left, Xie Shiyi would always be waiting at the door.
When she took the bus, Xie Shi would follow behind her on his old red mountain bike, attracting a lot of attention. The road was busy that morning, and the figure nimbly and undulatingly weaved in and out of the traffic, leaving Lin Xicai secretly startled.
The same goes for after school. He insists on sending her home every day and doesn't stop until he sees her walk home, rain or shine.
Lin Xicai thought he was sick, so she deliberately got up half an hour earlier and went out early. But when she sneaked open the door, the man was still there, head down, not knowing what he was thinking. But when he saw her, he was slightly annoyed, his eyes narrowed, "Going out so early? Who are you trying to avoid?"
Lin Xicai was convinced and immediately became angry and annoyed. "It's only half past six now. How early do you get here every day?"
He must be crazy. One is in the south of the city and the other is in the north. It takes more than half an hour to ride from his home to here. Doesn't he sleep?
"Also, why are you chasing the bus?" Lin Xicai took a few steps forward, her hands itching again. "There are so many buses every day, and you're riding so fast, don't you know how dangerous this is?"
"Are you worried about me? Then ask the bus to go slower, or..." Xie Shi patted the empty back seat, "I'll give you a ride, and we'll ride as slowly as you ask."
Lin Xicai looked at the faint smile on the corner of his lips and felt annoyed.
Lin Xicai walked forward, and Xie Shi followed her on the bike, leisurely and persistent.
Lin Xicai walked forward angrily, and when she was about to reach the bus stop, she suddenly stopped. Lin Xicai stared at the hateful and broken mountain bike beside her, and suddenly sat on it as if to vent her anger.
She jumped onto the bike with great movements, and with a destructive mentality of "let's all fall down together". Xie Shi twisted his hands holding the handlebars twice, and his heart shook violently with the sudden shaking of the bike, and he felt dizzy.
Xie Shi suppressed his smile, supported himself on the ground with his long legs, turned around to look at her, and was met with a lively and pretty face that looked annoyed.
She stared at him, her clear big eyes widening a little, and she was so coquettish that it made people want to reach out and pinch her face.
Even though his hands were itching to do so, he couldn't really reach over and rub them flat and round in this situation, even if he wanted to chop them off. He gripped the handlebars tightly, turned his face away, and forcibly diverted his attention.
"Hold on tight." He reminded me very gentlemanly, "You can grab the clothes and schoolbag, I don't mind."
Lin Xicai said impatiently, "Hurry up."
Xie Shi pursed his lips, as if he had gotten what he wanted.
All things are difficult at the beginning. When someone took his car on a whim, he acted as if he had obtained some kind of ironclad position and naturally began to regard himself as a driver.
It was like this before, and now I have to pick people up and drop them off every day.
It seemed that starting from that kiss, his energy and his magnetic field began to weaken, becoming very weak. He was losing his privileges towards this person little by little, and he could not only no longer hear but also no longer see.
He couldn't hear the voice in her heart, nor could he feel her position, which made him feel insecure, very insecure, and made him want to stick to her and stare at her 24 hours a day.
Lin Xicai didn't want to dwell too much on this trivial matter, thinking it was just a ride in a car, and over time she just accepted his inexplicable behavior.
That day, the two of them had just arrived at the back door after school when Fu Yanxiu's car just drove out of the villa. Through the window, Lin Xicai met Fu Yanxiu's cold gaze.
Fu Yanxiu glanced at Lin Xicai, then glanced at Xie Shi, and quickly looked away.
Fu Yanxiu didn't say anything at the time, looking at them as if they were two annoying pieces of trash.
As a result, the next day, when Xie Shi sent her home again, they just reached the back door and looked up to see Fu Yanxiu and Zhong Ping.
Fu Yanxiu was in the car with the window open. Zhong Ping was standing by the car with a jar of pickles in her hand, passing it inside through the window.
Fu Yanxiu casually took the jar of kimchi and looked past Zhong Ping at the two of them. Zhong Ping had her back to them, but when she saw Fu Yanxiu looking back, she turned her head and looked over.
The moment she turned her head, Zhong Ping was stunned.
Zhong Ping looked over and saw her daughter sitting in the back seat of a boy's car, her eyes complex and subtle.
Lin Xicai came back to her senses, yelled something was wrong, and hurriedly jumped out of the car, "Mom? Why are you here?"
Zhong Ping glanced at her, her tone normal, "Yan Xiu wants to eat kimchi, I'll get him a jar to take away."
Lin Xicai looked over and met Fu Yanxiu's gaze from a distance.
Can’t you get your own kimchi?
Why did she have to let her mother deliver it at this time and place?
He barely tried to hide the fact that he did it on purpose.
Fu Yanxiu remained expressionless, as if nothing had happened to him, his usual reserved and indifferent demeanor. Lin Xicai looked at him, suddenly feeling a little irritated.
They'd been getting along fine lately, so why had he suddenly done this? Was he just looking for trouble? Was he trying to make her suffer?
Zhong Ping glanced at her, then her eyes fell on Xie Shi, and she looked at him appraisingly: "Fei Fei, who is this...classmate?"
"Oh, yes, classmate." Lin Xicai said.
Xie Shi, who was behind her, had already gotten out of the car and stood in a dignified manner. Upon hearing this, he glanced at Lin Xicai and smiled tenderly and affectionately, "Hello, Auntie."
Xie Shi's smile successfully made the other three people unhappy.
Lin Xicai was completely convinced. Why are you laughing at this time? Are you afraid that others will misunderstand you?
Zhong Ping's face darkened and her expression became a little stiff. Fu Yanxiu snorted coldly, rolled up the window, stepped on the accelerator and drove out.
Xie Shidao, who had single-handedly upset three people, said goodbye to them in a hypocritical manner and left without any psychological burden.
Zhong Ping stared at Xie Shi's back, her eyes changing. Then she retracted her gaze and looked at Lin Xicai. Her expression became serious and solemn. She opened her mouth and struggled for words: "Are you familiar with this male classmate?"
"Quite familiar. This is the desk mate I was talking about."
Lin Xicai thought about it and started to play the emotional card.
It is said that Xie Shi was her deskmate. When her grades dropped and everyone ignored her and disliked her and were unwilling to be her deskmate, he was the only one willing to accept her as her deskmate.
They said Xie Shi was very pitiful and that he had a miserable life. He had depended on his mother since childhood. His mother had died in a car accident more than a month ago, and now he was the only one registered in the household registration book.
It was a mixture of truth and falsehood, a two-pronged approach, and the effect was very good. Her mother was so moved by what she said that her eyes were full of tears and she kept saying that the child was pitiful.
For a moment, I felt pity and gratitude towards him, and even said that I would invite him to my home for dinner when I had time.
Lin Xicai breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, "Eating? If you knew how he behaved like a hooligan to your daughter, you wouldn't say that."
It is impossible to eat while eating.
Rogues don't deserve to be at the table.
…
On the other side, Li Ci stood on the floor, playing with a dart in his hand.
Opposite is a wall covered with photos of all sizes, half of the wall is covered.
There is only one person in the photo, the same person in all kinds of expressions: smiling, annoyed, happy, angry.
Li Ci stared at the photos he had hung on the wall, his eyes filled with complexity. "You said I was targeting her at the time."
The two younger brothers beside him looked at each other and nodded, "Yeah."
"What did I do then?" Li Ci asked.
"No, we didn't do anything. You knew each other for a short time," the younger brother said, "and you didn't seem to like her that much at the time. You just...just wanted to tease her."
Li Ci didn't listen to what they were saying at all. He just stared at the photos, trying to recall the look she gave him when they met in the hospital and the cafeteria.
He stared at her, suddenly gritted his teeth, his eyes almost cruel: "With a person like this, if I can't get her, I will just do everything I can to hold on to her. How can I forget her so easily?"
The younger brother was stunned. "Brother Ci also thinks that your disappearance is related to her?"
"Also?" Li Ci narrowed his eyes slightly, "Who else thinks so?"
The younger brother hesitated for a moment, "Zeng Jinghuan, she was actually the most worried during your disappearance. Of course, there was no evidence, but for a while she was like a madman, insisting that your disappearance was caused by this girl."
Li Ci didn't say anything, but threw the dart in his hand straight at the chest of Lin Xicai in a photo.
Maybe related.
Maybe not.
It doesn't matter.
What mattered was that he was interested in her.
He didn't know where this desire that almost tore him apart came from. From the first time he saw her, he didn't want to let this person go.
