☆, Chapter 28
Xiu Yangui also began to feel sad. In fact, compared with Xi Mo, he was more emotional, more sensitive, and more impulsive.
This time, Xi Mo was hurt because of the sudden emotion.
The two men faced each other, Xiu Yangui hung his head in frustration, his eyes filled with loneliness.
Xi Mo didn't like Xiu Yangui being like this. She wanted Xiu Yangui to always be calm, lazy and casual.
"Hello, you are not bad." Xi Mo sobbed and said, "You are especially good, you are the best person."
"Don't talk about yourself. You are the best. You must know this."
"Don't be angry. I will definitely pay attention next time and not move around or jump around randomly."
"I'm not cold, my face is just chilled by the wind."
Xi Mo wiped away her tears and took Xiu Yangui's hand, "Let's go to the movies."
"Yeah." Xiu Yangui's voice was a little low and hoarse, and it seemed to be stuck in his throat.
Xi Mo pulled Xiu Yangui, her eyes were still red. Xiu Yangui, who was walking behind her, was not to be outdone. Where Xi Mo couldn't see, he looked at Xi Mo's profile, shed a tear, and then raised his hand to wipe it away.
The two of them rarely had conflicts because Xiu Yangui was reluctant to be angry with her, and Xi Mo was not easily angered by Xiu Yangui. No matter what Xiu Yangui did, she could accept it.
This was probably the first time the two had a conflict in their lives, but they made up quickly because they didn't want to make the other sad.
The two of them watched a comedy. The movie was very good and after two hours, their emotions had been adjusted.
After watching the movie, they prepared to go back to school. The atmosphere between the two was still a little silent. Xi Mo had recovered, but Xiu Yan had not returned yet.
He lowered his head and stared at the road under his feet, but Xi Mo knew that he was not in a cold war with her, because whenever there were potholes or steps on the road, he would reach out and hold Xi Mo.
The two waited for the traffic light and returned to school after crossing the intersection, but this atmosphere was not acceptable.
Back to the wall again, Xi Mo quietly looked at Xiu Yangui's face and said tentatively: "Brother, hug me."
Xiu Yangui immediately frowned and stared at Xi Mo with sharp eyes. Xi Mo looked at him calmly, took two steps forward and spread her arms.
Xiu Yangui held his breath, watching Xi Mo approach step by step, then hugged her, the two of them clinging to each other, relying on each other.
He felt like crying again. Xi Mo had really grown up and even learned how to coax people.
"What are you doing?"
Xiu Yangui spoke in a hoarse voice, raised his hand to hug her, then patted her back and asked Xi Mo to let go.
Xi Mo didn't let go and still held him, "I was wrong, brother."
"I'm sorry for making you worry."
Xiu Yangui exhaled a breath of hot air and finally hugged him back, "Yeah."
Holding Xi Mo like this, it was as if something that had been broken was glued together again. Xiu Yangui recalled some painful things and murmured: "A few days ago, I had a dream again. In the dream..."
"What's wrong?"
"In the dream, you were in a car accident..."
"I couldn't save him."
Listening to Xiu Yangui's painful and suppressed voice, Xi Mo wanted to look up, but moved a little, and was pressed into Xiu Yangui's arms again.
"Don't move."
"I, I couldn't save you, I..."
The tears that had been held back for so long finally burst out, surging and hot, and each crystal clear tear flowed down his cheek. Xiu Yangui hugged Xi Mo and buried his head in her shoulder. The usually upright and tall boy hunched his body, trying to shrink himself in front of Xi Mo.
Xi Mo whispered in his ear to comfort him: "You saved it, Xiu Yangui, you saved it."
This situation was like going back to the time when I had a car accident in my previous life, with such close contact and the same heavy and restrained emotions.
But what came to mind was not pain and blood, but Xiu Yangui's embrace.
Just as warm as it is now.
"Xiu Yan Gui, you saved it."
"I was saved because you protected me. You succeeded. Xiu Yan Gui."
Xiu Yangui couldn't stop crying. Xi Mo's comfort seemed pale and powerless to him. Xi Mo could only repeat over and over again: "You are saved, don't cry."
"Just trust me, okay?"
Xi Mo stroked Xiu Yangui's back, "You believe me."
"Okay, I believe you."
The two did not climb over the wall again, but walked directly past the guardhouse. The guard saw that the two people returning to school had sad faces and thought that they were like that because they did poorly in the final exams, and felt pity for them.
"What's wrong? Did you do poorly on the test?"
"Oh, it's just an exam. It's okay. Just try harder next time."
"Next time, we two will improve together and become better and better together, right?"
"Yes," Xiu Yangui blinked his red and swollen eyes, "Uncle is right."
"Yeah, yeah, okay, let's go back."
"The parent-teacher conference is almost over, and winter vacation is about to begin. Why not be happy?"
"If you didn't do well in the exam this time, try again."
The kind security guard patiently comforted the two of them. On the other side, Lao Lin, who found that the two were missing, was afraid that Xiu Yangui would lead his grade leader astray, so he hurried to the security office to check the travel records. When he heard what the guard said to Xiu Yangui and Xi Mo, he was a little confused.
Who didn’t do well in the exam? Is he ranked first or fifth in his grade?
The guard knew Lao Lin and said, "Teacher Lin, this is a student from your class, right?"
Seeing Lao Lin nodded, he turned around and looked at Xiu Yangui and Xi Mo with a kind smile, "The teacher is here, go quickly, don't cry."
When Lao Lin approached, he noticed the two students' red eyes and began to wonder if they were really dissatisfied with their grades. How could that be? Was he putting so much pressure on the students?
Lao Lin pondered for a moment, "You are already very good, but you still have a long way to go and a lot of room for improvement. Don't be too obsessed with the results of one final exam."
"In the future, the two of you will improve each other, grow together, and become outstanding adults."
"You can relax during this winter break. You don't have to study all the time. If you have any questions, just call your teacher."
"Okay, Lao Lin."
"Teacher, I understand."
Lao Lin nodded and didn't worry about their disappearance. After all, the parents of the two classmates didn't come, so it was normal for the children to be a little emotional. It was good that they came back.
"Alright, go back. Even if you can't stay, stay for a while. What's the big deal if the top three students in the class have already left? Only Qin Rui is answering all the parents' questions. This is the responsibility of the three of you. You can't give it all to Qin Rui. You have to care about your classmates, okay?"
"Okay, Lao Lin." Xiu Yangui regained his composure. "Let's not talk about that for now. Did the teacher praise our classmate Xi Mo, who is number one in the grade?"
Facing Xiu Yangui's question, Lao Lin paused for a few seconds and said, "Xi Mo, your performance this time was very good. You are a good role model for your classmates. I hope you will continue to maintain this performance, be modest and cautious, and achieve new heights."
Xi Mo received a look from Xiu Yangui that said "thanks to me". Not only did he tease his classmates, he even teased the teacher.
"Thank you, teacher. I understand. I will."
Xiu Yangui had a smile on his face, very satisfied with his assist, and raised an eyebrow at Xi Mo.
Lao Lin, who was walking in front of Xiu Yangui and Xi Mo, seemed to have eyes on his back and said, "You are not allowed to make eye contact with your classmates."
"I wasn't flirting. I was just showing my care for my classmates."
Xiu Yangui maintained his usual cynical attitude and exchanged martial arts with Lao Lin.
When passing by Lao Lin's office, Xiu Yangui remembered that they still had the sunglasses that Lao Lin had confiscated. "Teacher, it's winter vacation now. Can I take those sunglasses?"
Lao Lin nodded and said, "Okay, next time don't bring anything unrelated to study into the classroom."
"Okay, Lao Lin."
When there is something, call me "Teacher"; when there is nothing, call me "Lao Lin".
Maybe it was Lao Lin, he couldn't help but smile. Fighting wits and courage with such a student was a different kind of color in his career.
At that time, their sunglasses were confiscated simply because Chen Nianyu was too outrageous. He even wore them during class. I don’t know what he was thinking. Isn’t he simply stupid?
Xiu Yangui opened Lao Lin's drawer with ease. There were some strange things in it, all of which were confiscated. The rest were basically various Internet celebrity toys, board games and playing cards.
Xiu Yangui picked out two pairs of sunglasses and put the narrow-framed sunglasses on Xi Mo's face.
The black narrow-framed sunglasses matched her delicate and pretty face, covering her red and swollen eyes but not hiding her beauty, making her look like a cool and beautiful swan.
Xiu Yangui praised: "Okay, very handsome."
Lao Lin stood at the office door and said, "Stop playing and let's go."
Xiu Yangui put one on himself as well, reached out to hold Xi Mo's shoulders, turned her around, and faced Lao Lin. "Looks handsome, doesn't it? How about being your bodyguard?"
After Xi Mo covered her eyes, which were as clear as glass, the only thing that could be noticed was her porcelain-white skin, which glowed as cool as a cold weapon in the absence of light. Her aura became cold and lost its softness. The isolated mole at the corner of her eyebrow and the uncurved corner of her lips made her look like a ruthless female agent.
Xiu Yangui was still smiling nonchalantly, but his already romantic and affectionate appearance looked even more dangerous and aggressive because of the sunglasses. His jaw was thin, and his facial features were three-dimensional and angular. No one could ignore the sinister and fierce look he had deliberately weakened. He looked like a smiling fox, only lacking a gun.
Lao Lin had no idea what to do with them. Their eyes were swollen and it was obvious that they had been crying. It was useless to tell their parents because neither of their parents came. He could only pamper the students in his class.
He also admitted that these two people were quite cool, like the movie characters that were popular in his era.
"Come out, don't go into the classroom for a moment, just stand in the hallway and wait, the parent-teacher conference is almost over."
"Alright. Let's go, partner."
Xiu Yan got into the role so quickly that he actually thought they were Lao Lin's bodyguards.
The three of them walked up the stairs together. Lao Lin was going to the third floor to find other teachers, so Xiu Yangui and Xi Mo followed Lao Lin to the third floor first. When they passed by a class that was still holding a parent-teacher meeting, some students sitting by the window stuck their heads out.
"Who is that teacher? Why is he followed by bodyguards? He's such a big shot."
"Sunglasses, so handsome."
"He's from Class 1, right? That's Lao Lin from Class 1."
"Vocal, isn't that Brother Yan? Right, right!"
"Oh my god, it's really Brother Yan. So handsome. Why is he wearing sunglasses right in front of the teacher?"
Xiu Yangui and Xi Mo stood at the end of the corridor, trying to stay away from the crowd. They wanted to keep a low profile, but there was no way. Their appearance was too superior and it was impossible to ignore them.
In that case, don't waste this opportunity.
Xiu Yangui turned his head and gave an American greeting to the excited classmates who were looking at him. He put two fingers together at the corner of his forehead and saluted casually.
This was not enough, he lifted his sunglasses upwards, showing his eyes for a few seconds, with his signature smile, winked, and then returned to his cool bodyguard persona.
"Ahhhh, Xiu Yangui is so handsome."
"So this is what he looks like. I've never seen him clearly before. He's so handsome, definitely the school hunk."
"Fuck, fuck, that's too cool, so handsome."
"Who's that girl next to you? She's so white."
"Oh my god, that girl is so handsome, where did this little sister come from?"
"They're a good match, don't you think?"
“I think so too, hahahahaha.”
"The Smiling Fox and the Grim Swan."
Their voices were quite loud, and Xiu Yangui heard a few of them. He leaned slightly closer to Xi Mo and said, "Little sister, Xi Momo."
Xi Mo glanced at Xiu Yangui and the students over there from behind her sunglasses. Although her eyes had no deterrent power, they stopped talking and dared only whisper to each other.
Lao Lin was talking to the head teacher of another class. He was humble but couldn't suppress his pride. "No, it's all the students' own hard work."
"Hey, Mr. Lin, don't be so modest. The top student in the grade is in your class. As a teacher, you must be working very hard."
Lao Lin is the one who is truly low-key. "Xi Mo has always been a smart child. I just guide her. She is willing to learn, loves to learn, and has outstanding abilities."
"Class 1 did really well in the final exam this time. Five of the top ten students in the grade are from Teacher Lin's class. Even Xiu Yangui, the one who gave you the most headaches in your class, finished fifth. That's really good. I hope I didn't give you any headaches this time."
When Xiu Yangui heard his name, Lao Lin turned his head and glanced at him. "Xiu Yangui has always been easy for me to worry about in terms of study."
Xiu Yangui smiled and whispered to Xi Mo: "Old Lin is criticizing me, saying that I don't make him worry about anything except studying. I feel so wronged."
Old Lin not only had eyes but also ears behind his back. "No whispering allowed, Xiu Yangui, don't disturb classmate Xi Mo."
"Yes~"
The students in the classroom looked around and listened attentively.
"Oh my god, it's really Xiu Yan Gui, and that beautiful girl is Xi Mo, the top one in the grade."
"If you study well, you can do whatever you want. You can even wear sunglasses in front of the teacher. I'm so envious."
"I've already ordered the same pair of sunglasses. I want to be as handsome as them."
"Are you willing to buy it? You can afford this brand? Didn't we agree that we're all poor? You've quietly become rich!"
"I can't help it, he's so handsome."
"Huh? I want to buy it too, it's so expensive. Damn, it's so expensive, I'll just slip away."
"Isn't this a blatant display of wealth? One pair of sunglasses isn't enough, so I have to add two. Damn rich people."
