Chapter 21 This is not normal "Zhong Fei?" Monday...
"Zhong Fei?"
Early Monday morning, Lin Xicai got off the bus and walked to school. As soon as she entered the school gate, she heard someone calling her name from behind.
Lin Xicai turned her head and saw Xiang Ling and two other girls running towards her with their eyes lighting up. As the three of them approached, they surrounded her and looked her up and down, "Oh my God, you cut your hair."
"We couldn't recognize him just now. He's changed so much. He looks so beautiful."
"Really, take a good look at Zhong Fei. This hairstyle suits you very well."
Lin Xicai laughed when she heard this and tossed her hair pretentiously. "That's called a good study style. So, a neat hairstyle is the first step to becoming a top student?"
At that time, Xie Shi was passing by and heard these words.
His gaze fell on her for a moment, he was slightly stunned, and then he withdrew his gaze indifferently.
This person is always so distracted when it comes to studying.
What does learning have to do with hairstyle?
If getting a haircut can improve your scores, everyone should get a haircut.
Lin Xicai was smiling. When she saw Xie Shi passing by, her eyes lit up and she waved to him openly. Then, under the gaze of the other three people, she walked towards Xie Shi and handed him two bags.
"Your clothes and shoes have been washed and dried."
Lin Xicai handed the things to him, her eyes curved, "Thank you, I'll treat you to a soda some other day."
Xie Shi didn't say anything and took the two paper bags from her hands somewhat stiffly.
She handed these things to him and turned back, following the other girls.
Xie Shi stood there, looking at her laughing in the sunlight from afar, stunned.
It had been a long time since anyone had interacted with him in such a natural and generous manner in public.
I don't know when it started, but this person seemed not to be so afraid of him anymore.
She seemed to... treat him like a normal person.
Each of her actions caught him off guard. He rejected her approach, but it seemed...
Not offensive.
…….
These days, Lin Xicai's symptoms of feeling sleepy as soon as she starts class have eased a lot, but she still can't stand the Chinese class. Once in Chinese class, no matter how hard she tries to comfort herself, she can't stop feeling sleepy.
The third class was Chinese. Halfway through the class, Lin Xicai's eyelids began to twitch, and her mind was confused and dazed... At that moment, she suddenly felt a sharp heat on her little finger, which burned her.
Lin Xicai hissed from the burn and soon realized that there was an unusual movement in the space.
All sleepiness disappeared immediately, Lin Xicai closed her eyes and tried to explore the situation in the space.
Xie Shi held his chin and looked at her, his eyes lightly falling on her slightly trembling eyelashes, and slowly closed his eyes.
Lin Xicai closed her eyes and used her consciousness to check the situation. Seeing what was happening inside, she froze for a moment. Then she stood up from her seat, her expression becoming extremely embarrassed.
Xie Shiye also opened his eyes, staring at her angry expression, with an ambiguous arc at the corner of his lips.
The smile was very faint and fleeting, but Lin Xicai still caught it.
Lin Xicai didn't think his smile had anything to do with her. She just glanced at him, and when her eyes fell on the horror novel in his arms, a strange look appeared on her face. Are there any funny points in horror novels? She could laugh at a horror novel. Her deskmate was really a strange person.
The class had stopped by then, and everyone's eyes were fixed on her, with gossipy and mischievous looks.
The Chinese teacher put down the textbook and frowned: "Zhong Fei, what are you doing?"
Lin Xicai woke up as if from a dream, her momentum weakened a bit, and she said in a daze: "Teacher, my stomach hurts, I need to go to the toilet."
The Chinese teacher waved his hand helplessly and said, "Go ahead."
"Thank you, teacher."
Lin Xicai walked into the bathroom, locked a cubicle, and then disappeared into the cubicle.
The space was in a mess at that time. Li Ci's strength recovered a little, and he smashed the house to pieces with red eyes.
Bowls, cups, vases, tables and chairs, anything that could be smashed or thrown was used to vent his anger.
His strength was far from recovered, and his steps were still unsteady, but the feeling of oppression and panic had already driven him crazy, and he could hardly control himself and wanted to destroy everything.
The first thing he did after his strength recovered a little was to find a way to escape, but when he began to carefully examine the place, the more he learned about it, the more desperate he became.
The door wouldn't open no matter what he tried. He looked out through the peephole. There were no stairs, no neighbors, just a sea of white.
The windows, too, could not be opened or broken. Looking out from the inside, there were no stars, no moon, no sky, no sun, no streets, no scenery, only the overwhelming white that seemed to swallow people up.
It's like a haunted house placed out of nowhere in the fog in the wilderness. It's scary inside, and even scarier outside.
This strange house is fully furnished with all the necessary appliances, all functioning normally. There's water and a stove, and it looks just like any other residential building. But! All these appliances are not connected to the power supply! There's not even a wire, yet they all function normally.
It was as if there was a huge energy field that could be transformed into any energy they needed - maybe even more than just energy, he suspected that everything here was formed from this energy.
Li Ci was holding a wooden bench in his hand. His shirt was soaked with sweat and stuck to his body. His hair was messy, with a few bangs hanging in front of his forehead, revealing a pair of red, unfocused eyes.
That handsome and gentle face showed a madness of being forced into a desperate situation. He looked at the window that could not be broken through with fierce eyes, and picked up the bench and smashed it viciously.
He was panting, his breathing heavy. There was a sudden chill behind him, and a girl's voice came, calm and indifferent, "You don't think this can anger me, do you?"
Li Ci froze and turned around suddenly, only to see a man standing not far behind him like a ghost.
She stood there expressionlessly, but when she saw him looking over, she smiled faintly, "It seems you still haven't figured out the situation. You're the one living here, not me."
She looked around at the mess, her smile undiminished, revealing a hint of perfunctory sarcasm, "Since you like this style, I have no objection."
Li Ci stared at her, his Adam's apple moved, and his voice was extremely hoarse, "Let me go... You can ask me for anything."
Lin Xicai was still laughing, as if laughing at his naiveté, "Do you think I should believe you?"
"I don't need to lie to you," Li Ci said, "...as long as you let me go, I can pretend that nothing here happened."
"And then? Wait until you continue to cause trouble for me?"
"I...I can't."
This was the first time he spoke to someone in such a tone.
Talk to a servant's daughter.
In his opinion, this was more painful than killing him, and it was a compromise in which he had to give up his dignity.
But the person opposite him seemed to think it was not enough. He just looked at him and said with a cold smile: "Li Ci, how much do you think your credit is worth?"
Li Ci's eyes were fierce. "Do you think the people outside are just decorations? How many of you have the guts to attack me? Do you really think they can't find anything on you?"
When talking about the people outside, Lin Xicai smiled and stretched out her hand in the space. Then a heavy plastic bag fell into her hand, and there was a mobile phone in it.
He recognized that it was his cell phone.
She fiddled with his phone through the plastic bag, seemingly helpless, "A lot of people sent you messages, but no one cared about where you went or whether you were safe."
Lin Xicai took the phone and said, "I've recently taken some time to learn about your family situation. You were abandoned by your mother when you were young, and your father has been doing business abroad all year round. You can only find a sense of existence by bullying others.
"Does anyone in your family care about you? Do you expect your stepmother to find out you're missing and call the police? As a lunatic who dared to force abortion pills into your stepmother as a teenager, she must be hoping you'll die out there, right?"
Lin Xicai sighed and said, "It's really pitiful to live like this."
"Shut up, shut up!"
Li Ci's eyes were terrifyingly red, and he looked like a madman, ready to pounce.
In just a moment, the figure disappeared lightly in the space, and he came with great momentum but missed.
Li Ci stood in the messy and empty living room, with a splitting headache. He fell to the ground in pain and covered his head.
This is not true...
This can't be true...
She is fake, everything here is fake...
Li Ci held his head in pain, feeling extremely embarrassed and terrified. At this point, he felt the word "regret" for the first time in his life.
He had toyed with and humiliated countless people, using all sorts of methods. Those people deserved to beg for mercy at his feet, but this man...
When he treated her as a plaything, he never imagined that this would be the beginning of his nightmare.
He would never have imagined that he had provoked such a monster.
…
When Lin Xicai returned to her seat, her face was filled with the usual clean and harmless smile that they were familiar with.
It seemed as if he had just gone out to get some fresh air and fetch some water.
In the sunshine, she stood at the door and talked and laughed with two girls. Xie Shi opened his eyes and looked at her quietly - the sweet and sinister face in the space overlapped with her innocent look at the moment, creating a fascinating and special beauty.
Like Grain Rain and Frost Descent happening on the same day.
Like winter snow falling in the spring breeze.
Like...a pure white but poisonous flower.
Xie Shi looked at her, his gaze stayed on her for longer and longer, and he couldn't move his eyes away from her anymore.
He seemed to be watching an unprecedented and wonderful performance that was orchestrated by her.
She is an actor and a planner, and he is her only audience.
In the paper bag on the windowsill were the clothes she had returned to him.
At that time, there was a faint fragrance emitting from her body, which was exactly the same as hers. The fragrance seemed to have claws and fangs, reaching out to him, strangling his breath, making him feel dizzy for a moment, and the discomfort caused by that momentary dizziness.
His heart seemed to be sinking into the dizzy feeling, but his eyes suddenly became cold and alert.
This isn't normal, he thought.
