Chapter 10 This is the answer Lin Xicai has little experience in tracking people...
Lin Xicai had little experience in following people, and she felt extremely guilty. Even she herself felt that her following method would be exposed sooner or later.
Xie Shi didn't look back, but a mountain bike came out from somewhere, and before he knew it, someone was already riding on the bike and wandering around on the street.
Lin Xicai thought for a moment and stopped a taxi on the side of the road.
Lin Xicai got in the car and looked out the window, staring at the cold and lonely figure not far away. "Excuse me, Master."
"Okay," the driver agreed immediately, "Which car is it?"
Outside the car window, the gray school suit and red mountain bike collided with each other, exuding a strange feeling between loneliness and warmth. Lin Xicai raised her chin in the direction of Xie Shi and said, "That one, the red one."
"Red?" The driver narrowed his eyes, looking puzzled. "Hey girl, are you wearing glasses? There's no red car in front of you."
"The one on the side of the road, there's a guy in school uniform sitting on it."
"Bicycle?" The driver was a little angry. "You want me to take you on a bicycle? I'm not going to continue my business. I've been messing with you for a long time, but we can't even go two miles..."
Before he finished speaking, a hundred-dollar bill was handed to him, and he said with great wealth, "One hundred dollars, half an hour."
The driver pursed his lips, his attitude immediately softened, he slowed down the car, and started to follow the driver.
The driver glanced at Lin Xicai, then looked through the car window at the person being followed. Seeing that the two were of similar age and wearing the same school uniform, he couldn't help but gossip, "Is the one in front your classmate?"
Lin Xicai nodded perfunctorily, "Yes, classmate."
"Why are you following him?" the driver asked again, "Does he owe you money?"
"No." Lin Xicai said, "I have a crush on him."
The driver nodded, looking satisfied with the correct answer, and didn't ask any more questions.
At the same time, Xie Shi suddenly turned his head and looked in their direction. Lin Xicai reacted very quickly and lowered her head. She was not sure whether he saw her or not. She just felt that the look in that look was unpredictable, which made her scalp numb for no reason.
The car continued to follow behind, but Xie Shi's speed became slower and slower. In the end, it was even slower than a pedestrian on the street.
His bicycle slowed down, and the taxi had to slow down as well. The driver checked the speedometer, looking bewildered. "What's wrong with this person you're secretly in love with? Is he imitating a snail on the street? Look at where the speedometer is, it's like he's deliberately playing a trick on us..."
As he was speaking, when Xie Shi's bike came to a small alley, he suddenly turned and rode slowly into the alley.
The alley was very old and the entrance was very narrow, so cars definitely couldn't pass through. Lin Xicai and the driver looked at each other in confusion.
"Girl, there are still 21 minutes left. Why don't you think of somewhere to go for a walk?"
"Can you give me money back?"
“…”
…
Lin Xicai got off the car and walked into the alley with her schoolbag on her back.
At first, I was anxious to find someone, but after walking a few steps, I regretted it. This area is an old residential area, with alleys connecting to each other, like a maze. For someone with a poor sense of direction, trying to find someone in such a place is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.
When I came out, the sky was already very overcast, and just like the previous two times, it soon started to drizzle.
Lin Xicai took out an umbrella from her backpack and walked in the alley for a while. She was so dizzy that she didn't find the person and she almost got lost.
The alley was bumpy, and the mud mixed with rainwater formed puddles of mud on the ground. When she stepped on them, the splashed dirt stained her shoes and calves.
Lin Xicai had a look of disgust on her face, and immediately lost all interest. She just wanted to go back, take a shower, and go to bed.
I don't know what Xie Shi is doing in a place like this? He can't be living here, right? He's the male protagonist after all, so why should he be treated so poorly?
The sky was gloomy and night seemed to fall faster than ever before. In the blink of an eye, the whole place was covered with darkness.
The alley was narrow and damp, with gusts of cool wind and the occasional barking of dogs in the distance. Lin Xicai shuddered and became frightened.
Lin Xicai held an umbrella in one hand and took out his mobile phone from his backpack with the other hand to navigate away. However, when he took out the phone, he found that it had run out of battery and turned off at some point.
Amidst the irritation, mixed with the sound of dripping rain, a few whispered curses suddenly reached my ears.
"…Hard-boned, huh?"
"Stop talking nonsense with him..."
The voices were not far from her, low but clear.
Lin Xicai hesitated for a moment, then quietly took a few steps forward in the direction of the sound, and tiptoed to an alley entrance to look inside.
As far as the eye could see, several figures in school uniforms gathered in the corner of the alley. It was obvious what was about to happen in this situation.
It is not uncommon for high school students to have friction and fight with each other. Lin Xicai did not want to get into trouble and was about to leave when a familiar and gentle face suddenly flashed into her sight.
The man was wearing the same foreign school uniform as everyone else. He stood half a meter away with a faint smile on his face. Through the rain and wind, he looked a little weird and distorted.
Why is he here? Lin Xicai had a preconceived notion and almost subconsciously thought that the gentle and kind face was the victim. However, the next moment, she saw that face smiling, roughly pushing through the wall of people, and punching the man who was surrounded.
Those who were roughly pushed aside did not show any anger on their faces. When they faced that person, there was only cautious obedience and respect in their eyes.
Lin Xicai felt a chill all over her body almost instantly, realizing that this person was the mastermind of this game.
At this moment, she also saw the people who were surrounded by them.
The one surrounded by them and who took the punch was Xie Shi.
Xie Shi stood with his back to her, and there was an aura around him that was so restrained that it was difficult to capture the hostility, numbness, coldness, indifference, and even a kind of perfunctory attitude in carrying out official duties.
It was as if this was a boring play that he had to go through with, as if it was not him who took the punch, and he had a faint sense of detachment.
There's weirdness everywhere, and everyone is twisted and strange.
One shock followed by another, and Lin Xicai felt that her cognition was somewhat reversed.
Because she was told about the setting of the male protagonist early on, in Lin Xicai's subconscious mind, it seemed that Xie Shicai should be the evil party, but now it was clearly him who was surrounded.
As for the other person, she was still amazed by his appearance and temperament in the morning, but in the afternoon she saw his different face in such a dirty and messy place.
While she was stunned, the gentle and handsome young man seemed to notice something and looked up at her.
He easily saw her through the crowd, and then, just like when they first met, he tilted his head and smiled at her in a friendly manner, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.
The raindrops hit the ground and splashed back, hitting her ankles and calves. The dense coldness spread along her calves and into her heart...
It was a fear that made her even more uneasy than seeing Xie Shi.
…
The woman was right behind him.
Xie Shi didn't look back, but he clearly sensed her presence, her gaze, and the dense emotions in her heart.
Just like every time before, he could not escape any experience or suffering that should have been inflicted on him.
As long as he doesn't bear it according to the original settings, this day will never pass and will repeat itself forever.
She wanted to know the answer. This was the answer.
The first two cycles occurred only because he avoided the punch he "should" have taken.
If he wants time to move forward, he must appear in this place and accept the suffering that the world has arranged for him at this moment.
And all that he was forced to endure was just to provide a plot point for the female pursuers to pursue him.
He was tortured by life and was isolated and helpless. It would be best if he was driven crazy so that he could become a valuable target for attack - they did it, and he did become a madman as they wished.
The memories of normal people are too old, so old that they seem like things from previous lives.
He vaguely remembered that he had lived a normal life until his second year of high school. It was not until he transferred to another school to start his third year of high school that his life began to be controlled by an invisible force, gradually getting out of control, falling apart, and becoming unrecognizable.
So-called attackers began to appear around him, and his world suddenly became their game.
They came to his world and conquered him for different purposes and desires.
They approached him with a purpose, trying to impress him with their hypocritical kindness. Even if they despised his filthiness in their hearts, even if they feared him and hated him, they could always spit out sweet things from their mouths to seduce him.
They were insincere, they tried their best, they tried to win his sincerity with their pretense.
He hated the coming and going of people and this endless game.
These games started at the beginning of the third year of high school and ended at the end of the third year. After each game, he would be thrown back to the starting point, back to the day when the third year of high school began, to meet the next raider.
He carried his memories through the cycle of senior year again and again, and he was trapped in senior year forever.
He was not unfamiliar with Li Ci either.
This person appears in every one of his worlds.
Acting as executioner in each of his worlds.
In many previous worlds, they fought each other.
The two people are like two NPCs who will never die, and their fight will never end.
Even if he killed him in the previous world and returned again, he would still follow him back.
From the initial anger, disgust and aversion, in the end, he didn't even have the interest to deal with him.
Anyway, the result is the same.
In this world, no one will be sincere to him.
The reason why those attackers appeared at the plot points where he was injured and stood on his side was just to win his favor, without exception.
…
Xie Shi felt the gaze behind him.
This person was indifferent, apathetic, and even fearful of him.
Her strategy mission was not to capture him, and he was a worthless person to her.
He stood in the rain with his back to her, and at this moment, a temptation suddenly arose in his heart.
He suddenly wondered what choice she would make when faced with such a dirty and disheveled man without any external coercion.
Will he turn around and leave, or will he...
A strange and secret emotion fermented in the rain.
No one else knew except him.
