Chapter 84: Dream Lover Lin Xicai was a little dazed, her best friend...
Lin Xicai was a little dazed. Her best friend was holding her arm as they walked along, and they bumped into their class teacher head-on.
The young female head teacher recognized her and, seeing her distraught expression, understood most of what was going on. She gently asked about her health and then reassured her, "It's okay. You're so smart. Repeat a year and you'll definitely get good grades next year."
Lin Xicai was speechless. After hesitating for a moment, she tentatively asked, "Isn't this test a bit..."
"It's a bit difficult, right? I looked at the test paper and it's indeed quite difficult," said the head teacher.
Difficult? Lin Xicai choked, her whole body disheveled in the wind.
After returning home from the exam, Lin Xicai had not yet expressed anything, but her parents had already become cautious and refused to ask her about her exam results. Instead, they comforted her secretly as usual. Lin Xicai listened to those gentle words of comfort, feeling mixed emotions in her heart, and she began to doubt her life again and again.
This fluctuating mood continued until I returned to school the following Monday and the report cards were posted.
Lin Xicai's homeroom teacher was the first to receive the news. As soon as she entered the school gate, she was congratulated and told that her class had the top scorer in the grade. The homeroom teacher was overjoyed. Thinking of the top students in her class, she couldn't help but wonder, "Who is it? Xiaohui or Song Xin?"
"Neither," one teacher replied. "Her name is...Oh, yes, her name is Lin Xicai."
"Who?!" The calmness pretended by the head teacher collapsed at this moment. She could pretend to be calm if there was a top student in her class, but wasn't it too outrageous that the top student in the grade was Lin Xicai?
They all saw what kind of student this was. During his three years of high school, he took more sick leave than he was in school. He skipped nine out of ten exams, and for the one he occasionally attended, he would always rank last.
A student like this, you tell me he's number one? And number one in the grade? Is he more like last?
The head teacher came to his senses and realized that he had been tricked. He immediately became angry and said, "Don't make fun of students casually. This student ranked last in the exam because he was sick. He just had heart surgery some time ago..."
"Why would I lie to you? You can see for yourself. You're an incredible student. Your class average has been raised by two points. Here, take a look at the transcript for yourself."
The head teacher took the report card written in black and white, stared at Lin Xicai's name at the top and the bold "Ranking: 1", his mind went blank.
At the same time, facing the sudden rise of the poor student sister, Lin Xicai's bestie was also shocked and stunned. Seeing her sister, she looked like she had seen a ghost, "You...how did you do it?"
Lin Xicai was equally confused: "I don't know, I just know how to answer those questions."
This incident quickly caused an uproar in the whole school. Everyone knew that a senior poor student in Class 9 suddenly became a top student after an operation.
Everyone gathered around to watch out of curiosity, and some even went directly to learn from it.
"What kind of surgery did you perform? Can you tell me about it?"
"I'm not looking for a few hundred points anymore. Is there any small surgery that can increase the score by a few dozen points?"
"Could you tell me which doctor it is? My parents want to visit him on my behalf."
......
Lin Xicai: “…”
Soon after, several versions of rumors emerged, centered around her and this bizarre incident.
The most classic version speculates that she actually performed a heart transplant operation. The original owner of the heart was a super academic, so after the heart transplant, she inherited some of the knowledge.
The most shocking version is the rumor that she is no longer herself, and she was possessed by someone else the moment she had the operation. The person standing in front of them now is actually an outsider pretending to be Lin Xicai.
There were more and more discussions and speculations like these. In order to prevent the matter from getting bigger and bigger and being taken away for research one day as a monster, Lin Xicai gritted his teeth and portrayed himself as a person with a strong will despite being bedridden. Although he was sick in bed, he was actually learning every day.
Her parents and best friend were the first to question this: "They're studying every day? How come we don't know?"
Lin Xicai said that this was all her plan, so that she could make a big splash one day. Her original words were, "I want to learn quietly and then surprise everyone."
What a guy, not only is he disabled but he is also determined, he also endures hardships and endures hardships.
After a performance, this famous senior student turned into someone else's child.
Although she was still puzzled by this sudden change, Lin Xicai knew that she had found such a good opportunity and she quickly adapted to the change from a poor student to a top student. Not only did she adapt, she was also a little excited - not only did she have health, but she also had a future painlessly. Who wouldn't be excited?
Her best friend was happy for her, but also a little angry. "I studied hard for three years, and now I look up and you're ahead of me. This world is really unfair."
Although she was excited, she couldn't help feeling a little nervous deep down. She felt that other people's achievements were earned bit by bit, while her achievements came out of nowhere without any effort. This huge guilty feeling of getting something for nothing made Lin Xicai always feel vaguely worried, fearing that her knowledge would be taken back.
In order to avoid being reverted to her original form, she began to study harder after returning to school.
Because she studies every day, her life becomes fulfilling.
But at some unexpected moment, she would suddenly feel empty in her heart, as if a piece of her soul had been gouged out and thrown somewhere without her knowing.
Especially when it was late at night and she was lying in bed alone, she would suddenly feel an indescribable sadness.
But she couldn't find the reason for her sadness.
Now, she has healthy parents, is surrounded by friends, and is in good health. Even the long-standing problem of academic performance is no longer a problem. Everything is better than she wanted.
So, what is there for her to be sad about?
She touched her heart and felt it hard.
Maybe it’s not sadness, she thought, but longing.
It's more like a longing than sadness.
But she also had no idea who she was missing.
Because of insomnia at night, Lin Xicai accidentally fell asleep on the table during Chinese class in the day.
The bell rang for the end of get out of class, and Lin Xicai was woken up. She opened her eyes sleepily and sat up straight in a daze.
"Who is Xie Shi?" The female classmate sitting at the same table suddenly looked over and asked curiously.
Lin Xicai's thoughts faltered for a moment, and she was stunned. "What do you mean by ten?"
"I don't know," the female classmate shook her head and smiled mischievously, "You seemed to call out this name when you fell asleep just now."
Lin Xicai picked up the water cup and drank it, smiling blankly, "You must have heard it wrong."
"Maybe," said my female classmate, "but you do have some dark circles under your eyes. Did you not sleep well?"
"I have a little insomnia." Lin Xicai said.
The female classmate had already withdrawn her gaze and turned to chat and laugh with other classmates, but Lin Xicai just stood there with the water cup in her hand. At a certain moment, something strange seemed to flash through her heart.
It was as if some force was telling her to grab onto something, as if she had just missed something important.
A faint pain suddenly arose in her mind. She frowned and finally did not speak again.
After moving out of the old house, Lin Xicai no longer felt the uncomfortable, oppressive feeling in her new home, and she no longer had dreams. But that night, she had another rare dream.
She dreamed of a person again, or to be exact, a shadow.
It felt like he was still a teenager about her age.
But on the contrary, the feeling this person gave her was not fear, but a feeling of attachment.
It seemed like they were in a classroom, near the window, with two people sitting at the same table. The man was sitting inside, and she was sitting outside near the corridor.
She seemed to be studying, and the man was quietly reading a book next to her.
It seemed like neither of them spoke, but the feeling of security made her feel very attached.
There was light outside the window, and the silhouette of his profile fell on her textbook. She suddenly wanted to see his face, but she couldn't turn back in her dream.
His breathing hit her ear so clearly, and the breeze brought by his breathing was warm and soft. She wanted to hear his voice, but he didn't say a word.
It was as if there was a huge resistance in the dark that was blocking something and trying every possible way to set limits between them.
Before she could do anything, the scene changed and they appeared on a strange yet familiar street - strange because she was sure she had never been to that place, familiar because she felt a sense of déjà vu when her heart beat.
On the street, there was a red mountain bike, the man was riding the bike, and she was sitting on the back.
The wind blew into his clothes, outlining his lean and beautiful lines.
Going downhill, he deliberately rode his bike very fast.
She screamed and was angry, but she couldn't help but hugged his waist.
The two of them shuttled through the busy streets, feeling comfortable and happy, laughing and joking all the way.
The alarm clock rang suddenly, pulling her out of her dream.
Lin Xicai suddenly sat up from the bed, her pretty face flushed and her heart beating fast.
Lin Xicai mechanically dressed, washed, and ate breakfast, but the unclear figure seemed to be engraved in her mind, lingering for a long time.
She didn't seem to want to let it go, and kept repeating certain feelings in her dream in her mind. Her abnormality was quickly noticed by her best friend.
At lunch, her best friend stared at her absent-minded appearance and finally couldn't help asking, "What are you thinking about? Why are you so obsessed?"
Lin Xicai didn't avoid the question. After a while, she hesitantly asked, "Is there really such a thing as a dream lover?"
"What?" My best friend was so amused when she heard this. "What did you say? Dream lover? You had a wet dream? What did you dream about?"
Lin Xicai looked unhappy, "What kind of erotic dream is this? I couldn't even see her face clearly, and she didn't say a word."
The friend got even more excited when she heard this. "No way, you were really dreaming? Hahahaha, why do you sound so sad? You're even feeling regretful. What did you do in your dream to get you into this state?"
"Actually, there's no plot," Lin Xicai sighed. "There's no plot at all. That's the weird thing. There's clearly nothing, but I just feel like this is a beautiful dream. I don't want to wake up."
Her best friend opened her mouth wide, looked at her infatuated face, but then restrained her expression.
Lin Xicai saw her suddenly look solemn and didn't understand why. "What's that expression?"
My bestie came closer and said seriously, "Did you encounter Yin Taohua?"
"What is Yin Peach Blossom?"
"Have you never heard of Yin Taohua?" my bestie started explaining it seriously. "It's a male ghost looking for a bride, so he deliberately sneaks into your dream to seduce you. If you willingly follow him in your dream, something bad will happen in reality..."
"Stop!" Lin Xicai shouted before he finished listening.
The term "dream lover" is so romantic, but to give her a Yin peach blossom is really a downer.
"Really?" her best friend's fortune-teller nature kicked in, and she kept tugging at her, "That's true. If you don't believe me, check it out online."
Lin Xicai simply covered her ears as her best friend kept chattering.
Perhaps what you think about during the day will appear in your dreams at night. After that, Lin Xicai dreamed about it several times intermittently, but she no longer shared it with her, for fear that she would spoil the mood and say something about peach blossoms.
She was too greedy for that feeling. Yin Taohua is Yin Taohua. She thought, when he asked her to go with him, she should just say no. He couldn't force her to do anything.
The days go by one by one, and the college entrance examination is here.
One week before the college entrance examination, the school organized a seven-day college entrance examination carnival in order to mobilize everyone and help relieve their anxiety. The general content of the activities was to arrange some small programs with encouragement every day, such as decorating the classroom with some ribbons and red paper, making some beautiful college entrance examination-themed newspapers, and all the teachers in the third year of high school wearing customized red T-shirts with personalized slogans printed on them, etc.
In this warm and prosperous atmosphere, Lin Xicai suddenly felt a little dazed. Before this, she had never thought that she would stand with them on such a day, nor did she think she would have the courage to go to the battlefield with them.
But at this moment, she was indeed standing among them, following the big group, and moving towards her own future.
——It was as if there was a force, or a pair of hands, that lifted her here from nowhere, and forcefully pushed her back to their center after she had deviated from her course.
Deep down, she seemed to know that someone was standing behind her.
Looking back, there was no one behind me.
