Let go
Mr. Song reported the situation to the school.
The school took it very seriously, and since that day, the school gate has been surrounded by parents picking up and dropping off their children.
But Song Huan discovered that Lin Xing's parents had never visited.
Not even once.
Song Huan often saw Lin Xing carrying his schoolbag home by himself, looking out of place among the students around him.
She seems to be fearless.
Song Huan complained a bit about why his parents weren't coming, and finally asked Lin Xing, "Xing, where are your parents?"
His smile faded, and he lowered his head, remaining silent.
Song Huan noticed his mood and chuckled twice, "It's nothing, I was just asking. If you don't want to say, then don't."
Then he patted him on the shoulder, said goodbye, and left.
More than ten seconds later, Lin Xing slowly raised his head and looked in Song Huan's direction.
——
A week later, the results came out.
Of the four high schools in the county, Xuqiu No. 1 High School has the highest average score, which is quite good.
Song Huan scored 671 points this time, ranking first in her class and third in the entire grade.
She looked at the report card, a smile appearing on her face, and then went to find Lin Xing's ranking.
Lin Xing also did well on the exam. His Chinese score improved by more than 30 points compared to last time, ranking second in the class and sixth in the whole grade.
Xu Han ranked 99th in the entire grade, an improvement of ten places from the previous ranking.
Xu Han was so excited she almost jumped up. She shook Song Huan's arm and said, "Huanhuan, I've improved by ten places since last time. Before, I was always hovering around 109th place!"
Song Huan was also happy for Xu Han: "Keep up the good work!"
“I did well on the exam too.” Lin Xing walked over.
"Looks like this tutoring session was a great success, how about—" Xu Han hadn't finished speaking when Jiang Siye suddenly appeared and patted Lin Xing on the shoulder.
During this time, something happened that Lin Xing and Jiang Siye became like brothers, and Lin Xing also started to study with them often.
"Okay, I'll treat you to dinner." Lin Xing said somewhat helplessly.
After agreeing to have lunch at "Old Chen's" restaurant, the group parted ways.
"Old Chen's" restaurant is a well-known establishment in their city, and it happens to be located near a school, so business is booming.
Song Huan had been there a few times and found the food to be quite good.
The teacher was explaining the test paper on the podium, but Song Huan was absent-minded, thinking about Chen Lao Restaurant.
School finally ended.
Several people hurried off.
When we arrived at the restaurant, only a few tables were occupied.
They arrived early; otherwise, there wouldn't have been any seats available later.
After finding a seat, Lin Xing ordered a menu.
"Order whatever you want to eat."
Xu Han ordered a plate of fried meatballs, while Jiang Siye ordered a huge pile without even looking at them, saying "this one," "that one," and "and this one."
Lin Xing couldn't stand it anymore and yelled, "Are you here to cause trouble?"
This remark made everyone laugh.
Jiang Siye called out, "Okay, brother, you order first."
"Osmanthus cake," Lin Xing said.
Song Huan, who had been laughing, froze.
Didn't she remember that Lin Xing didn't eat a single piece of osmanthus cake on her last birthday, saying it was too greasy?
He doesn't like osmanthus cake, but she does, so...
Could it be that this was ordered for her?
Jiang Siye joked, "Brother, do you still like eating this? Isn't this something girls like to eat?"
Lin Xing tapped the table, her tone nonchalant: "Can't we try something different?"
"Okay." Jiang Siye handed the menu to Song Huan. "Song Huan, what would you like to eat?"
Song Huan thought for a moment and said:
Sweet and sour pork.
Lin Xing opened her mouth involuntarily, then closed it again.
......
After Jiang Siye handed the menu to the waiter, everyone at the table fell into an awkward silence.
"Hey, by the way, Christmas is coming soon, how are you guys spending it?" Jiang Siye seemed to be trying to stir up some excitement.
Christmas
After thinking for a few moments, Song Huan said, "Anything is fine."
Xu Han, standing nearby, chattered on and on, saying, "I want to buy Christmas candy, and I also want to buy a Santa hat..."
Lin Xing did not speak.
Fortunately, the food arrived shortly.
Lin Xing deliberately pushed the osmanthus cake in front of Song Huan, and Song Huan did the same.
They have pretty good chemistry.
Jiang Siye: ""
Xu Han: "What a wonderful couple!"
Song Huan's ears turned red, and seeing Xu Han's gossipy expression, she couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.
Lin Xing hurriedly picked up her chopsticks and grabbed a piece of sweet and sour pork.
It's delicious; Ah Qiu ordered it.
