Chapter 54: I met Lin Xicai so soon. She was on her way home from school and got off the bus...
Lin Xicai was going home from school. After getting off the bus and walking to the back door, she looked up and saw Xie Shi standing on the sycamore tree - to be exact, he was standing on the bare stump of the chopped-down sycamore tree.
He was tall to begin with, and now he stood there in a black suit with his hands in his pockets, like the god of death staring at him eagerly, ready to take someone's soul.
His presence was too strong, and his moist, hot gaze seemed to be substantial, like a poisonous snake locking onto its prey, wrapping around her the second she appeared.
Lin Xicai couldn't see him, so she walked around him and went inside with a cold look in her eyes, not looking away.
Just as she took two steps forward, the dark figure came like a gust of wind, carrying a burst of heat, and hugged her from behind.
His voice was a little deep and unusually tender. "You chose me," he said.
Lin Xicai still had no expression and calmly uttered one word: "Get lost."
Xie Shi didn't let go, and even held her tighter, burying his chin in her neck, his breath lingering as he repeated, his tone full of satisfaction, "You chose me."
Lin Xicai struggled to break free, looked at that evil yet innocent face, filled with new and old grudges, and slapped him in the face.
Lin Xicai's eyes were sore. "You know why I slapped you."
Xie Shi's face was burning from the slap, but he smiled.
Lin Xicai frowned and her heart skipped a beat.
She was still willing to hit him, which meant she was still angry enough to be saved. Xie Shi grabbed her hand and put it on his face, saying seriously, "You chose me, you can slap me a few more times."
Lin Xicai grinned, pulled out her hand and shook it, with a look of disgust on her face: "You're sick."
Lin Xicai was so perverted by him that she didn't even dare to get angry, for fear that he would do something even more perverted.
He is now like an unknown dangerous object that has completely stripped off its disguise. You never know what a slap might bring out. To be on the safe side, the best thing she should do now is to stay away from him, the farther the better.
The small aqua-blue system has been flying beside her. When it entered the door, it couldn't help but flap its wings and looked back at the male protagonist. The male protagonist's eyes were fixed on Lin Xicai, but at a certain moment when it looked at her, its peripheral vision passed by it inadvertently.
The system shuddered. Was it an illusion?
Why did it feel like he just now seemed...
Lin Xicai wiped her palms on her clothes and walked into the villa with a chill on her face. The small system caught up with her and flew around in front of her. It seemed to hesitate for a moment and said uncertainly: "Why do I feel like he can see me?"
Lin Xicai was stunned.
"It's not impossible," she said. "Your male protagonist is no ordinary person. I've even begun to suspect that he knows my background."
The system was shocked, as if it had heard something out of the blue: "How is this possible?"
Lin Xicai pursed her lips for a long moment, then suddenly spoke, "You're saying, there aren't any special abilities like clairvoyance and super hearing in this world, right?"
"......" The system twitched its lips, "Do you think he's the Calabash Brothers?"
Lin Xicai: “…”
"At least not in this world," the system said seriously, "This is a normal campus version."
Lin Xicai: “…”
normal?
normal?
This guy can almost call the wind and rain, and you tell me it's normal?
Hello? Can I trust you?
…
In the next few days of classes, Lin Xicai was always in a bad mood towards Xie Shi.
——To be exact, he has no expression.
She treated him as air, and her disregard was accompanied by a hint of rejection and resistance.
The most obvious point is that she would not give up her seat with him. She would arrive in the classroom early every day and sit down with her butt as if glued to the bench. Whenever Xie Shi came, she would be stopped outside.
Xie Shi himself had no choice. He had already made the other person angry and it was too late to comfort him, so how could he dare to force him in? What if he was not allowed in? He could not just stand outside and keep poking at him. Lu Zixin's table suffered as a result, being climbed up and down by people several times a day.
After climbing up and down like this for a few days, maybe he himself felt a little bit unbecoming, so Xie Shi started to get up early every day, and sat in the classroom before seven o'clock with breakfast for two people - even though no one wanted breakfast.
There was a dead, chaotic atmosphere between the two of them. After a few days, Lu Zixin was really tired and felt that Xie Shi had a hard time. During a long break, in the spirit of selflessness, in front of Lin and Xie, he looked at Xie Shi and kindly suggested: "How about we switch places?"
Xie Shi was originally leaning against the wall, bored, folding the corners of a piece of waste paper. He stopped when he heard the words, looked over, narrowed his eyes, and said coldly: "Do you really want to be close to her?"
What the hell? He was clearly willing to be next to her when he was willing to sacrifice himself to blow up the manure pit? Lu Zixin was terrified, his kindness was in vain, and he cried out in injustice, "No, no! I didn't mean that! I don't want to be next to her!"
Xie Shi glanced at him, his expression not improving. "Don't want to be near her? What's wrong with her that you don't want to be near her?"
Lu Zixin: “…”
Ah, so should I think about it or not?
Zhu Hongfei watched a big show and chuckled.
Lu Zixin realized it belatedly, as if he had discovered some huge secret. He lowered his head and seriously analyzed it with Zhu Hongfei: "...I think they are having an affair."
"Congratulations," Zhu Hongfei said, curling his lips in a mocking tone, "for discovering this well-known secret."
Lu Zixin frowned, "You saw it a long time ago?"
"nonsense."
You've already held my hand and waved it in front of my eyes. If I can't see it, I must be blind.
When Lin Xicai got home, Zhong Ping was not at home. She didn't come back until almost eight o'clock in the evening, carrying a thermos bucket.
Lin Xicai looked at Zhong Ping's worried face and her heart skipped a beat. "What's wrong? Where have you been?"
"Your Uncle Fu is sick and in the hospital," said Zhong Ping.
Lin Xicai frowned, "What's wrong?"
"Stomach problems, an old problem." said Zhong Ping.
"Is it serious?" Lin Xicai asked.
"It was acute gastroenteritis. I'm feeling much better now." Zhong Ping forced a smile. "Nothing serious."
Lin Xicai nodded and said, "Tomorrow is Saturday, I'll go to the hospital."
Zhong Ping agreed: "Go ahead, your Uncle Fu always loves you, you should go and see him."
After the mother and daughter finished their meal, Lin Xicai cleaned up as usual, went to the kitchen to wash up as usual, and finally packed the leftovers into a lunch box as usual. Until she put the lunch box into the microwave, Lin Xicai suddenly stopped.
This is the third time. She is so used to it that she has repeated this behavior for the third time.
She was the one who shouted stop, but she forgot it.
Not to mention Li Ci, now she even has lost her space - in fact, when she handed over the space authority, she knew in her heart that there was a high probability that she would not be able to get it back.
As expected, after the system completed the task of sending people away, when she pretended to be calm and asked the system for space, the small system refused to give it to her and looked frightened.
Lin Xicai felt a little regretful, but not too much.
Thinking of the things in the space, those old clothes, and the traces of that person's life, she suddenly smiled with relief: That's good, it saves her from having to deal with it.
After breakfast the next day, Lin Xicai went out with the snacks and chicken soup made by her mother. Lin Xicai was waiting for the bus at the bus stop. A car drove by slowly and stopped in front of the bus stop.
A man got out of the car and stood at the door, looking over. Fu Yanxiu was dressed casually in a cashmere jacket and jeans, looking handsome and dashing, with a touch of casual flamboyance compared to his usual reserved attire.
Fu Yanxiu stood not far away, his eyes fell on the thermos in her hand, and he said in a light tone: "I heard from Aunt Ping that you are going to the hospital?"
There was no need to hide this, Lin Xicai nodded: "Yes."
Fu Yanxiu: "Get in the car."
Lin Xicai walked up and stood in front of the door, hesitating. She was afraid that if she sat in the back, Fu Yanxiu would mock her for thinking he was the driver, and she was also afraid that if she sat in the front, Fu Yanxiu would say that this was the seat reserved for his sister-in-law.
Fu Yanxiu saw that she looked distracted and frowned slightly: "Do you need a fortune-teller before getting on the bus?"
Lin Xicai came back to her senses and decided not to waste her brain cells. She asked for the correct answer directly: "Where should I sit?"
Fu Yanxiu frowned again, as if he found her question extremely strange, and raised his chin coldly towards the passenger seat.
Lin Xicai nodded and got into the car obediently - Young Master Fu really couldn't stand being someone else's driver.
The two of them didn't have much in common, and their previous interactions had rarely ended on a good note. Lin Xicai attributed this to the fact that their horoscopes were not very compatible.
It is normal to have nothing to talk about when sitting with someone whose horoscope is not very compatible with yours.
Fu Yanxiu probably thought the same thing. The two of them were silent, and the silence in the carriage was eerie.
The car was halfway through the drive and turned a corner. The car shook and half a box of cigarettes fell out from somewhere and landed right on her legs. Lin Xicai picked up the box of cigarettes, took a look at it, and looked at Fu Yanxiu.
“Put this…”
"It's not mine. My friend left it in my car. I don't smoke," said Fu Yanxiu.
Lin Xicai gave him a strange look and said, "I was wondering where to put it?"
Fu Yanxiu was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips, his expression was stiff for a moment, and he didn't say anything.
Lin Xicai curled the corners of her lips and placed it on the center console.
When she put down the cigarette, her eyes fell on the center console. Lin Xicai tilted her head to look at a lipstick on the center console.
She knew this brand; it was a special lipstick that couldn't be left in the sun...
Lin Xicai looked at Fu Yanxiu, "This lipstick..."
"Fu Xuefan's," Fu Yanxiu frowned, "except her, no other woman has ever ridden in my car."
“…….”
What's going on? Why does this kid always answer questions first?
Answering questions without reading the questions, what a new habit.
Lin Xicai smiled and said, "I just want to say that it's best not to expose this lipstick to direct sunlight, as the hue will change."
Fu Yanxiu said nothing, with a cold face, and stepped on the accelerator to drive the car very fast.
Lin Xicai: “…”
The two of them arrived at the hospital, and when they got off the car, the things she brought with her had already fallen into Fu Yanxiu's hands. After coming out of the elevator, the two of them walked in the corridor one after the other, with Fu Yanxiu carrying the things in front and Lin Xicai following behind.
This was the VIP ward area, luxuriously decorated, more like a five-star hotel than a hospital ward. The corridor was long and so quiet that the footsteps of two people walking there seemed to echo.
About one-third of the way there, a ward door opened a few meters ahead, and a tall and thin figure suddenly walked out. He was wearing a hospital gown and looked decadent and dazed.
The man stood there with his back to the light. He looked up and was startled when he saw Lin Xicai.
There was a moment of astonishment in those narrow and blurry eyes, and then his gaze seemed to lock onto her, staring at her straight.
The two people were only five meters apart. When their eyes met, Lin Xicai's heart seemed to be suddenly grabbed by someone, and there was an uncontrollable panic in her breathing for a moment.
But she looked back at him and quickly discerned that it was an intense but unfamiliar look.
She quickly calmed herself down. No, she thought, there wouldn't be any accidents. He had lost his memory and he wouldn't remember her at all.
She just didn't expect that she would meet him so soon.
