mango flavor
Lin Luo doesn't like staying in the hospital. Tang Zhihua plans to work in a factory. Tang Muchen is almost on summer vacation. Du Yunyan has to stay in the hospital every day to take care of Tang Heng. The family has no income, so Lin Luo simply takes Tang Muchen back to her hometown and makes money with Tang Zhihua.
"The college entrance examination is over, why don't you relax for a few days?" Lin Luo asked Tang Zhihua.
"Because I want to be an independent woman with financial freedom." When she heard that Tang Zhihua's mother was going to remarry, her stepfather didn't like her very much.
"What are your friends doing?" Tang Zhihua asked curiously.
"Xu Yangyang went on a graduation trip with her parents, while Zhu Changyu stayed at home, eating, drinking, and having fun. He never left the house."
"What about Tong Yun?" Lin Luo often mentioned Tong Yun in front of Tang Zhihua, saying that he was her best friend.
"Tong... Tong Yun and... her boyfriend went to Jinghe together." Lin Luo lowered her eyes, looked at the assembly line and the things in her hands, and laughed inexplicably.
"She has a boyfriend? Why haven't you mentioned it before?"
"You didn't ask, did you?" Lin Luo wanted to change the subject, but Tang Zhihua was very interested. "You said she looks like a fairy, so is her boyfriend handsome?"
"Yeah." Lin Luo responded lightly.
"They must be a perfect match." Lin Luo didn't know how many times she had heard this, but her heart ached every time she heard it.
Xu Yangyang often shares travel photos in the group, Zhu Changyu shares game MVP records, and Ruan Ye and Zhu Sui'an rarely speak in the group.
Fu Xingchuan would occasionally reply to Zhu Changyu's words. Tong Yun said that he would call Lin Luo twice a week, but it was already Sunday this week and Tong Yun had not called her yet.
Lin Luo dialed the number, and the phone kept ringing, but no one answered.
She must be busy with something! Lin Luo was about to hang up the phone, but the call was connected first.
"Hello, Tong Yun, it's me."
"Lin Xiao..." It was Fu Xingchuan's voice. His breathing was a little rapid, and he said in a hoarse voice, "She's not available right now."
The air seemed to freeze for a few seconds, and Lin Luo almost couldn't breathe. "Okay, then I'll hang up first."
She hung up immediately after she finished speaking. It took her a long time to recover. When she saw the grains of sand on the ground, she felt her heart broken.
Tang Zhihua walked towards Lin Luo with a popsicle in one hand, "Here."
"Thank you." Lin Luo took it and put the cold packaging bag against her face.
"You don't look well, what's wrong?" Tang Zhihua took big bites of the popsicle.
Lin Qi said coldly, "I'm not in school anymore. It feels like everyone is drifting further and further apart."
"Oh! I thought it was something! Isn't this normal? My friends at school have never contacted me once. I only now realize that they are just temporary friends."
Lin Luo knew that her situation was different from hers. She looked up and saw a boy with glasses passing by the convenience store. Tang Zhihua didn't even look at him.
"How are you guys?" Lin Luo suddenly asked.
Tang Zhihua didn't hesitate and said frankly: "Forget it, he is my future stepfather's son, and logically I have to call him brother from now on!"
"You scream?"
Tang Zhihua was furious. "Of course not. That's why I have to make a lot of money and break off all ties with my mom and this family as soon as I go to college."
"Blood ties cannot be severed." Lin Luo murmured softly.
The popsicle slowly melted, and the sweet liquid dripped all over her hands.
Lin Luo turned on the faucet, and a stream of water poured down, but it couldn't cover up Du Yunyan's screams, "Lin Luo! 672!"
It felt like a huge weight had been lifted from her heart. Lin Luo turned off the faucet and walked out of the bathroom.
In the ward, only Tang Heng was sitting on the middle bed, holding a laptop borrowed from the doctor. The other two beds were empty. The uncle who had been given a critical illness notice died not long after.
And a new person who has just been diagnosed will be admitted to the other bed tomorrow.
Du Yunyan couldn't suppress the smile on her face, but Lin Luo noticed that her wrinkles seemed to become more obvious when she smiled. Tang Heng turned the computer around and let her see it, and only then did she know her full score.
Chinese 129, Mathematics 147, Comprehensive Science 264, English 132, total score 672.
She knew that she had performed beyond her expectations.
She immediately left a message to Lin Dayong to tell him the good news.
At ten o'clock, the official media released the score lines. The first-tier provincial science score line in 2013 was 518, and the second-tier score line was 456.
News kept coming out of the group of seven people. Zhu Changyu sent a picture. He scored 487, which was very good for him, a student who was hovering on the second-tier line.
Xu Yangyang scored 566, which was nearly 50 points higher than the first-tier score, and her mother was quite satisfied.
Zhu Changyu asked: [What was Brother Chuan's score? Was he the top scorer in the province?]
Xu Yangyang: [The top ten in the province have all been blocked, so how can we know who the top scorer is now?]
Zhu Zhu Xia: [Oh, I forgot about that. I was thinking Fu Xingchuan would treat me! I'm so bored playing at home!]
Xu Yangyang: [I'm feeling bored too. I've already had three arguments with my mom over the route in the past two days. I want to go back to Nan'an.]
Xu Yangyang: [Where are the other three top students? Hurry up and share their scores so we can be envious.]
Lin Luo waited for a while, but there was no movement from Ruan Ye and Tong Yun. Xu Yangyang and Zhu Changyu took advantage of her weakness and bombarded her in turns, so she had no choice but to send the results.
Zhu Changyu: [Oh my god, 672. Resurrect! My goddess.]
Xu Yangyang: [Xiaoxiao, that's amazing! Last year, the admission score for Kyoto University was 662. You surpassed that by ten points.]
Tiger: [Good luck.]
Lin Xiao didn't know if Fu Xingchuan had seen her message. What would he think if he knew her results? Would he be proud of her?
The phone vibrated, and Lin Luo's thoughts were pulled back to reality. She saw a message from Fu Xingchuan: "I'll treat everyone to dinner some other day."
Zhu Zhu Xia: [Needless to say, my brother Chuan is definitely going to be the top scorer in this province.]
He should have seen it! Lin Qi curled his lips.
Zhu Zhu Xia: [What about the other two great gods? ]
Lin Luo was waiting for Tong Yun's results, but after a long time, she still didn't get them. Perhaps she realized something was wrong, and the group fell silent.
Lin Luo rarely returned to Changlin Lane. Tang Heng had been having a fever during chemotherapy, so she wanted to bring him some extra clothes. She also wanted to bring the necklace that Tong Yun gave her for her birthday this year.
Walking past the old villa, there was no light. After Fu Xingchuan finished his college entrance examination, his grandparents went on a trip around the world, and Zhu Sui'an never came back.
Passing by Ruan Ye's house in Room 301, Lin Luo noticed light coming out from the crack of the door. She hadn't seen Aunt Li for a long time and also wanted to know about Ruan Ye's grades, so she knocked on the door.
When she touched the door, she found something strange. There were some burn marks on the door and a black spot on the ground.
"Who is it?" Aunt Li's voice was low and had lost its former vitality.
"Aunt Li, it's me, Lin Qiao."
"Xiaoxiao." Lin Xiao finally heard the footsteps, but the sound was strangely heavy.
When she opened the door, Aunt Li's hair was a little messy and her face was pale. Lin Luo thought she had seen it wrongly, "Aunt Li"
She forced a smile. Lin Xiao's face was filled with worry. Aunt Li seemed to want to find someone to talk to. "Xiao Xiao, I'm sorry for Ruan Ye."
"what happens"
Aunt Li choked up and told her everything. She said that on the day of the college entrance examination, after Lin Qiao's family went to school, she was preparing to take things to the temple to worship Buddha. She was cooking soup there and didn't pay attention to the utensils at that time, so the fire caught on fire and the house burned down.
The fire could not be controlled for a while, which delayed Ruan Ye's exam. He missed the first Chinese language test and was left with a noticeable scar on his hand.
Aunt Li felt very guilty. Ruan Ye said that she didn't blame her, but she thought that he must be very sad for missing such an important exam.
Ruan Ye didn't tell them about this, and Lin Luo, so focused on the college entrance exams, didn't notice anything was wrong. Later, Du Yunyan, who was busy with Tang Heng, rarely came home and couldn't comfort Aunt Li. Lin Luo stayed with her, spilling everything and crying again. She seemed relieved. "By the way, your mother called me. Luo Luo, you're amazing and excellent. Auntie really admires you."
"Thank you. Actually, Ruan Ye can consider repeating the year. With his grades and personality, he will definitely have no problem taking the college entrance examination again."
"He refused. He must have been devastated. His father died because of the fire, and he missed the exam because of... the fire. He is traumatized." Aunt Li held her hand tightly.
Lin Luo comforted her, "Ruan Ye is a strong person. He won't be defeated so easily. No matter which school he is accepted into, he will definitely study hard and realize his life's value."
"Good girl." Aunt Li touched her face. "You are so good, who can not love you?"
Lin Luo smiled faintly. How could it be possible that everyone loved her?
After picking up Tang Heng's clothes, Lin Luo walked out of the residential building. A black and white kitten ran past her. It seemed to be the injured one she had seen before.
She looked for the kitten again and unknowingly came to the bushes in the small park. Lin Luo noticed Ruan Ye sitting on a bench. He was wearing a white T-shirt and looked depressed.
"Can I disturb you?" Lin Luo walked over and sat down at the other end of the bench without waiting for his answer.
Ruan Ye glanced at her and said weakly, "You've already disturbed me."
Lin Qiao refused to leave. Seeing the scar on his hand, she lifted her trouser leg to expose her knee, which had a very ugly scar. "I got this when I was learning to ride a bicycle as a kid. I fell flat on my face. It was terrible. But after the injury healed, I started learning again."
"Wounds will heal one day, and so will people. I can break myself into pieces now, and heal myself again the next second. One day, the wounds in my heart will bloom because I have become stronger."
Lin Luo's tone was gentle, but Ruan Ye looked down on her and said, "Where did you learn this hypocritical literature?"
"What kind of pretentious literature is this? This is inspirational quotes." Lin Luo complained in his heart. With his level, he probably wouldn't get many points in the Chinese language test.
Ruan Ye looked at her expression and asked, "Are you scolding me?"
"I didn't." Lin Luo's eyes were vague. Ruan Ye obviously didn't believe it. Just then, the cell phone rang. Lin Luo looked and saw that it was Zhu Sui'an calling.
She showed the screen to Ruan Ye, and his eyes immediately softened.
"Sui'an, this call is so untimely. I'm giving you psychological counseling! Why don't you hang up first?" Lin Luo shook the phone.
Lin Luo said this deliberately, her eyes fixed on him, her hand almost touching the red area on the screen. Ruan Ye said, "No."
Lin Luo gave a wicked smile and said seriously, "I hope you can keep Uncle Tang's illness a secret. Don't tell anyone in the alley or your friends."
For the sake of the phone call, Ruan Ye immediately agreed: "Okay."
She answered the phone and Zhu Sui'an's voice came out, "Lin Luo, I saw your college entrance examination results. Congratulations!"
"Thank you." Lin Luo noticed Ruan Ye moved closer to her and pressed the hands-free button. "How have you been lately?"
Zhu Sui'an: "Very good! Still as carefree and cheerful as ever."
Lin Xiao: "Why don't you update your □□ space anymore? I wanted to give you a like!"
Zhu Sui'an: "Too lazy to post."
"Oh." Is it because of Ruan Ye? Lin Luo saw his fingertips touching the scar on his hand, "Sui'an, can I ask you for a favor?"
Zhu Sui'an: "What's the matter? Tell me, I will definitely help you."
"I have a friend who had an accident and failed the college entrance examination." Lin Qi paused for a moment, "Aren't you good at psychological counseling? Can you help me comfort him?"
Lin Luo wondered how she would lie if Zhu Sui'an asked her who her friend was, but she didn't ask. "Okay! I have something to do now, call me back later!"
"good."
After the call ended, Lin Luo handed the phone to Ruan Ye. He reached out to take it, but seeing his pockets were bulging, Lin Luo dodged his hand and asked, "You're still smoking?"
Ruan Ye snatched the phone and handed Lin Luo the contents of his pocket, a handful of candy, "Go cool down."
"What an impolite guy! He didn't even say thank you to me." Lin Luo looked down at the colorfully wrapped candy in his hand and muttered to himself.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome." Lin Luo walked away, leaving space to Ruan Ye.
She stood upright, and from this angle she could just see the sycamore tree next to the old villa. The cicadas were particularly noisy this year, which annoyed Lin Luo.
When will Tong Yun come back?
"Mango." Lin Luo picked out all the mango-flavored fruit candies she liked and put the rest into Tang Heng's pocket. It was really painful to get injections and take medicine when you were sick.
Too bored, she began to count the mango candies in her hand, "one, two, three..."
Before she finished counting, a pair of dirty sneakers appeared in front of her. She looked up and saw a middle-aged man with a long scar on his forehead asking directly, "Where is Tong Yun?"
He looked so familiar. Lin Luo noticed that he only had four fingers on one hand. She seemed to have seen him before. But if she was right, he should be Tong Yun's biological father. "I don't know."
"You must know, tell me now," the man roared.
Lin Luo said seriously, "I really don't know. What do you want to talk to Tong Yun about? Tell me and I can tell her."
"You stupid girl." He lost control of his emotions and suddenly stretched out his hand, tightly pinching Lin Luo's neck. "You don't understand what I'm saying, right?"
Lin Luo was caught off guard and her hand loosened, causing the candy to fall to the ground.
The man continued to yell: "Where the hell is Tong Yun?"
"I have no idea."
"That bitch is as cheap as her mother. She wants to kill me, but no way. If I die, I will drag her to hell with me."
The more he spoke, the stronger his grip became. Lin Luo felt a little breathless. She kept slapping his hands, but she couldn't cry for help. The man seemed proud and relaxed for a few seconds. Then Lin Luo used force to pry open the broken half of his finger.
"ah!"
Before he could recover, Lin Luo turned around and was about to run when she saw Fu Xingchuan striding towards her with his fists clenched.
Lin Luo's neck was red from being strangled, but she didn't cry. However, when she saw him for the first time, she almost couldn't help crying.
