Chapter 176
On Thursday, Xingnuo had its first high school placement test.
The examination room was completely disrupted, all the desks were pulled apart, and students took the exams in different places.
The students found their examination rooms, sighed, and watched the teacher handing out the test papers with dejected looks.
Xingnuo's admission score was very good, and he was in the front row of the first examination room.
He stared at his pen, thinking about the various things that had happened in the past two days, his mind was in a mess.
After being reminded by the teacher, Xingnuo came back to his senses with an "oh" and passed the paper to the student in the back row.
After taking exams for two days in a row, Xingnuo felt a little dizzy in the head, and felt that the dripping sound in his mind was becoming clearer and clearer, as if it was ringing in his ears.
Xingnuo shook his head, telling himself not to think too much, and quickly went to the cafeteria to buy dinner.
The cafeteria is noisy. The students are in school uniforms, young and beautiful, and their voices are full of energy.
Xingnuo had a poor appetite, so he bought two buns. When he was about to go to the classroom, he saw An Zimo.
He walked over and called out twice, but got no response, so he patted An Zimo on the shoulder.
An Zimo was like a frightened bird. His stretched body looked even stiffer. His eyes widened and he immediately looked up at his surroundings.
"Who?! Xingnuo?"
When An Zimo saw Xing Nuo, he breathed a sigh of relief and his tense body relaxed.
"You scared me to death, why did you suddenly jump out?"
Listening to An Zimo's words, Xing Nuo was a little puzzled. He tilted his head to look at him and couldn't help but say:
"I called you several times, didn't you hear me? What are you daydreaming about?"
An Zimo wanted to say something but stopped himself. He opened his mouth, but in the end he just scratched his head and said, "It's nothing."
"I just finished the exam and I'm in a bad mood, so I was in a daze for a while."
Xingnuo noticed that An Zimo was acting strangely today and wanted to ask something, but a classmate waved over and they had to stop the topic temporarily.
The students were not in the mood to attend evening self-study and were all noisily checking their answers.
Xingnuo sat quietly in his seat, his eyes half closed, his thick and long eyelashes drooping down, covering his dark and round pupils.
The girl in the front row wanted to ask Xingnuo what the answer to the last big question was, but when she turned around and saw Xingnuo's translucent white skin under the light, she couldn't help but whispered "WTF".
We mortals, if we can catch a glimpse of God’s face, can die without regrets!
The girl in the front row turned her head and screamed in her heart for a while, but still couldn't help but took a secret photo and posted it on the forum.
Xingnuo, who had been absent-minded these past two days, noticed the sound of the flash lights, raised his head, saw himself in the classroom, pressed his forehead and sighed.
After the evening self-study, Xingnuo came out with his schoolbag.
An Zimo doesn't know how to ride an electric bike, but today he went to the parking shed, contrary to his usual practice.
Xingnuo saw that the other party was waiting for him, so he hurried forward and shouted with a smile:
"An Zimo? Are you waiting for me? You look weird today? Did something happen?"
An Zimo hesitated twice and said:
"Let's go back first and talk on the way."
Xingnuo noticed that something was wrong with An Zimo, hummed, got on the electric bike and took An Zimo back home.
Halfway through the walk, Xingnuo was enjoying the increasingly cool summer night breeze. Just as he was squinting his eyes and sighing, An Zimo's voice rang out:
"Xingnuo, do you feel that the people in your family are a little strange?"
Xingnuo's eyes widened, and the hand that was turning the electric bike clenched suddenly for a moment.
The evening breeze blew the hair on his forehead, Xingnuo's tense body relaxed for a moment, and he asked with a smile:
"What does this mean? Zimo, did you find anything?"
An Zimo and Xing Nuo grew up together and can be said to be very good friends.
Therefore, from the very beginning, An Zimo had no intention of hiding it from Xingnuo.
"I'm not talking about your family. I mean, I feel like my cousin is back, and he's acting weird."
An Zimo's cousin was the one who cut his head bald when An Zimo was a child.
But three or four years ago, An Zimo's cousin unexpectedly disappeared in college. I heard that he went on an outdoor adventure and died and could not be found.
But now, An Zimo said he was back?
"What do you mean? Didn't your cousin get into trouble in the wild?"
A vague guess emerged in Xingnuo's mind, but he didn't say it directly, but his expression became more tense.
An Zimo sighed and frowned.
"As you know, my cousin and I have a very good relationship. He lived in my house until high school. I basically treat him as my own brother."
"After his death, his family was sad for a long time. I had let it go in the past two years, but a few days ago, I suddenly heard my cousin's voice."
"It's just floating in the air. It's unbelievable, right? But I'm sure that's my cousin's voice!"
When An Zimo recalled it, he felt surprised and dazed.
"So what did your cousin say?"
Xingnuo parked the electric bike under a tree on the roadside, propped his long legs on the ground, and glanced sideways at An Zimo.
An Zimo was still in a state of confusion until now, and didn't notice Xingnuo's strange look at all.
"The first time he called my name and disappeared. The second time he said he could only stay for a short time because he had no points. The third time he told me to build a good relationship with you because your father is very powerful in their leaderboard."
An Zimo had never talked to his cousin. Every time his cousin's voice sounded, it would quickly disappear.
Until now, An Zimo still didn't understand what his cousin meant.
Moreover, "Is my cousin not dead? Or has he gone to the underground world?" An Zimo was confused and puzzled.
An Zimo had been confused for more than a week, and he was so depressed that he couldn't bear it anymore, so he thought about talking to Xingnuo.
Xingnuo nodded and pursed his lips, roughly knowing what his cousin meant.
"Rankings? Is my dad on it?"
An Zimo was also wondering, isn’t Xingnuo’s father a beautiful lady with blonde hair and light eyes? How is it related to the rankings?
"I really don't understand, Xingnuo, do you think these voices are just my imagination?"
An Zimo also told his mother about this, but his mother just said that he was under too much pressure in high school and almost took him to see a psychologist.
Xingnuo looked at the sky which had already turned dark, licked his dry lips and sighed.
"This is not your imagination. In fact, I can hear it too."
An Zimo breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest and said:
"Let me tell you! I'm mentally healthy. Look, you can hear it too... What?!! You can hear it too?!"
An Zimo realized it belatedly and was so shocked that he was almost speechless.
"My cousin came to see you too?"
Xingnuo smiled, her eyes were bright and her eyebrows were curved.
"Of course not, An Zimo, didn't your cousin say that my dad is very impressive on the leaderboard?"
An Zimo spoke incoherently: "Your father, isn't your father fine? Do you have another father?!"
Xingnuo nodded, raised his head, chuckled, and looked very proud.
"Yes, I have two fathers."
An Zimo's mind was no longer spinning. He didn't know whether he should be surprised that Xingnuo had two fathers, or shocked that Xingnuo could also hear strange noises.
His brain froze for a while, and after a long time, An Zimo came back to his senses when he saw Xing Nuo's gaze.
"I see. Was that your other father's voice you heard?"
Xingnuo nodded and smiled, revealing a shallow dimple on her fair cheek, which was very cute.
"Yes, I could hear it very early."
An Zimo was still very confused and bewildered, with countless questions in his mind that he wanted to ask.
"So Xingnuo, did your father tell you anything? What is going on? Are they dead or alive?"
Wen Xingxue seldom said anything to Xingnuo, especially anything about that horrible world. He and Shen Wen both kept it a secret from Xingnuo.
When he was young, Xingnuo couldn’t understand many things.
But time is a very magical thing. There are many things that Xingnuo did not understand, but he slowly figured them out as time went by.
Xingnuo smiled with his eyes curved, looked at the twinkling stars in the sky, and said:
"My father doesn't talk to me that much. He said that I only need to be responsible for growing up healthy and happy, and he will take care of the rest."
Wen Xingxue has said this more than once.
After growing up, Xingnuo had no choice but to stop asking him about the horror world.
An Zimo was in a complicated mood. He sat in the back seat of the electric car and thought for a long time. He only sighed when Xingnuo called him.
"It seems that you don't know much, but my cousin told me to exercise well."
An Zimo scratched his head. Although he was a little silly, his intuition was surprisingly sharp.
"I always feel like something is going to happen, like in the movies, aliens invade the earth? I can't really tell, but Xingnuo, you have to pay attention too."
Xingnuo patted An Zimo's shoulder, and the little curly hair swayed with his movement.
"It's okay, nothing will happen, don't think too much."
An Zimo nodded and went back with a lot on his mind.
Xingnuo continued riding his bike, parked his electric bike downstairs in the community building, and took the elevator upstairs to go home.
The door opened, and Chen Yan, wearing home clothes, put down the computer in his hand, stood up and went to the kitchen to bring Xingnuo a bowl of hot soup.
"What did you have for dinner? Did you not eat properly again?"
Xingnuo smiled, sat at the dining table, stretched lazily and said:
"I ate the buns, but they weren't as delicious as the ones you made!"
When facing his family, Xingnuo often acts like a spoiled brat unconsciously.
Chen Yan wore rimless glasses, which concealed his sharp eyebrows and eyes, leaving only a face full of tenderness and affection.
"Have some soup. Is high school stressful?"
Xingnuo drank it spoonful by spoonful, feeling the salty, fragrant and warm soup sliding down his throat. Looking at his brother's caring and loving eyes, he shook his head.
"No, brother, go to bed quickly. I will go to bed after drinking."
Since there was no homework for the exam, Xingnuo had a rare chance to sleep early.
He lay in bed, his mind very active, constantly thinking about various things, and the faces and concerned eyes of his family members flashed before his eyes.
There was a tiny sound in the air, which was keenly caught by Xingnuo.
But this breath was so familiar that Xingnuo did not open his eyes and continued to doze with his eyes closed.
Wen Xingxue stood by the window, bent down and stroked Xingnuo's hair, her movements gentle and considerate.
"You've lost weight in the few days I haven't seen you. High school is too tiring."
Wen Xingxue's voice was very soft. After she finished speaking, she imitated Chen Wen and gently kissed Xingnuo's forehead before turning around and leaving.
Xingnuo opened his eyes and saw Wen Xingxue leaving the bedroom, and he was about to say something.
Outside the door.
Chen Wen and Wen Xingxue's deliberately lowered voices came.
"Don't come so late in the future. Xingnuo is asleep."
"I'm worried about him. I can't rest assured if I don't take a look at him. How about you? Have you missed me recently?"
"You can go now."
Xingnuo felt unexpectedly at ease listening to the voices of his two fathers. He couldn't help but smile, turned over and went back to sleep.
