1.

Lin Xiao had that dream again.

In the dream, it was still the woman I didn't know, but vaguely felt very familiar.

Lin Xiao stretched out his hand from the quilt with hazy sleepy eyes, fumbled on the bedside table for a while, grabbed the alarm clock placed on it, and canceled today's wake-up bell five minutes in advance.

He spent a long time struggling to get dressed under the covers, and the cold of winter had not yet completely passed in the early morning of March, which made him really miserable.

Pulling open the curtains in the bedroom, Lin Xiao quietly looked at the red in the community. The city of thorn trees where he lives has been famous for this "city full of thorn trees" since ancient times.

In the March season of fireworks, the sky after the spring rain is always filled with a faint layer of mist, like a silk scarf covering the sky.

Whether in the city or in the suburbs, the tung trees have quietly bloomed everywhere, and the fresh breath of rain and mist has added a fiery passion.

From a distance, those blooming tung blossoms are like red lanterns, which are more inspiring in the bustling city.

"In the spring of that year, the young scholar who was rich and rich in five cars picked up a flower, drank a pot of turbid wine, and was drunk among the flower fields in the spring......"

Look at the world at ease, life is like a topic and laugh!

What kind of young liberal arts student has never fantasized about such a life? But the question is......

It seems that the thing on the side will be a little more realistic!

Lin Xiao turned to his desk with difficulty, and everywhere he looked, there were mountains of textbooks and workbooks, schoolbags stuffed with document bags, and mock questions one after another......

In addition to this, there is a countdown board hanging in front of the desk, which reads:

There are only 98 days left until the college entrance examination!

2.

When you find that the 100-day pledge meeting is a thing of the past;

When you find that the school has changed all the floors with a series of coats such as: "As long as you don't die, you will learn to die";

When you find that the buddies who have the most fun with you on weekdays are now holding a copy of "64 Poems That Must Be Memorized in the College Entrance Examination" and reading it to death......

No matter what kind of bohemian psychology you have had in the past two years, you will be crushed by this tense atmosphere of "approaching the college entrance examination" at this time, and there is no scum left.

The library was overcrowded, and most of them were review parties in the third year of high school. This kind of formation is enough to scare the junior students who usually come here to read idle books and tell jokes.

However, there are always one or two exceptions......

"Every dream represents the fulfillment of a hope. When people sleep, the barriers to inhibiting the subconscious have decreased, so they emerge as dream consciousnesses and are endowed with strange and uncanny properties...... What are you looking at?" Liu Ziyi looked at the outline of the political class, and turned his head to look at the cover of the book in Lin Xiao's hand.

The Interpretation of Dreams, by Sigmund Freud.

"Big brother, isn't it!" If this is not a library, Liu Ziyi really wanted to shout out directly: "You asked me to help you occupy a good place in the library, just to see this thing......? This and this...... What the hell is Fu, can I help you get into 211 or help you get into 985!"

Lin Xiao snorted with disgust: "Do you understand the combination of work and rest." ”

"In a week, we will have the first provincial quality inspection!"

"Provincial quality inspection? What is that?"

"Do you dare to go a little more ......?"

"How many points did you score in the quality inspection test in our city?"

Liu Ziyi closed the notebook with a "snap": "Okay! You won!"

But what made Liu Ziyi have to be convinced is that the boy in front of him really has to look good and have grades. If this person's name does not appear on the top list at the end of each semester in the liberal arts section of Thornton Middle School, it can only indicate one problem: the teacher who printed the list must be asleep!

In fact, Lin Xiao only has an extraordinary talent in literature and history, and his mathematics is a mess, but such a monster with long and short legs happened to be born in the right year, catching up with the last year of arts and sciences.

Therefore, since he chose to specialize in literature and history in the second year of high school, the shortcomings of mathematics are no longer qualified to be a stumbling block on his learning path.

In this regard, the friends around Lin Xiao are deeply concerned.

"You can do well without revision. Liu Ziyi stepped forward and deliberately narrowed the distance between the two, "But are you the kind of person who will watch Freud pass the time?

"Get out!"

"Really?"

"!"

Lin Xiao cleanly pushed Liu Ziyi away, picked up the book "The Interpretation of Dreams", threw the schoolbag on his shoulder, walked through the rows of tables and chairs and the people who were immersed in hard reading, went to the second floor of the library, and walked towards the office of the library management office.

It is the management office of the library, which is also the lending office

The second floor of the library is the teacher's reading room, which is better than a lounge, where there are many new and old teachers who make tea, chat, and even smoke and eat snacks.

Lin Xiao passed by a few reading rooms and said a brief hello to a few teachers he knew well. After a while, I walked to the door of the office, and after knocking on the door, I faintly heard a "please come in", so I pushed the door in.

"Close the door casually. A very flat voice said.

As soon as the door closed, Lin Xiao only felt as if he had entered a completely static space. Unlike the other reading (rest) rooms on the second floor, where teachers gather, there is no noise at all in this one-person office.

An atmosphere that is too quiet can make you feel like you are isolated from the whole world for a moment, giving people a feeling of extreme unreality.

Lin Xiao glanced at the work card on the table: Ye Xin.

This is not the first time Lin Xiao has come to the library to borrow books, it is not the first time he has seen this name, and it is not the first time he has met this teacher. But every time he saw her, Lin Xiao would always have an inexplicable weird feeling, and if he wanted to ask him what kind of weird method it was, he couldn't say.

If I had to say it, it would only be that she really didn't look like a ...... Teacher - especially not like a teacher who is in charge of running a library.

The woman sitting behind the desk has the steadiness of a very noble and mature woman all over her body, but she has a face that is no less than that of a young and beautiful girl of eighteen or nineteen years old ("Is this the legendary 'Tongyan'?'" Lin Xiao and many male classmates have slandered for this). In the minds of the school's students, she is even more eye-catching than the "vicious" director of the political and educational department.

This is not to say that the methods of punishment she used to punish her students were so high that even the head of the political and educational department could not reach them, but that she was too mysterious in everyone's minds.

You've never seen her commute to work, you've never even seen her outside of the second floor of the library, and she's never been like other school librarians who wander around all day long or scold students who are destroying books and making noise.

She just sat quietly in her office like that, with a cup of tea on the table that she might never touch, and a book spread out in front of her and looked at it silently.

When you think about it, the only place you can see her is really her office.

Lin Xiao walked gently to her desk, and in such an environment, he also subconsciously lightened his every move. Ye Xin didn't even raise his head from beginning to end, he always kept a forty-five degree angle and looked down at the book in his hand, and the beautiful eyes behind the glasses looked a little deep.

The computer, mouse and keyboard on Ye Xin's desk are all facing outward, which is also a major feature: if you want to borrow a book, you can register it yourself, and if you want to take it directly, you can ...... Anyway, don't bother me!

Lin Xiao almost held his breath and typed in the number of the book "The Interpretation of Dreams" and his student number, and the sound of typing was unusually loud in this office, and he couldn't help but get goosebumps when he heard it.

Ye Xin's every move, from flipping through the book to the slightest breathing, was almost silent, which made the weirdness in his heart a little aggravated.

Hurriedly registered, Lin Xiao picked up the book and quickly left the eerily quiet office. When the door closed behind his back, and the sound of chatting, making tea and eating in the teacher's reading room penetrated his ears again, Lin Xiao let out a few sighs of relief, relieved the temporary lack of oxygen in his brain a little, and then slowly walked downstairs.

"You went upstairs to borrow a book and sweated profusely, don't you lose your kidneys......" Liu Ziyi didn't let go of this opportunity to ridicule the college bully.

"Although the goddess is good, don't be greedy!"

"You get up!" Lin Xiao angrily pushed away Liu Ziyi, who had a lewd smile on his face.

What Lin Xiao didn't know was that when she closed the door, Ye Xin looked in the direction he left for a long, long time......

3.

You need to know that when he was young, Ling Yunzhi was the first in the world!

Time flies much faster than many people think, and the flowering season of Thorn City has left before you know it, and every senior high school student is greeted by the June sun, which is even redder than the Thorn Tree.

If the revision time feels short, then the shorter ones are the few hours in the exam room. With the ringing of four bells, it is announced that all your efforts in the past three years have come to an end here.

Lin Xiao packed up his pencil case and admission ticket, and walked out of the examination room with his schoolbag. There was a whole bunch of people around me, people I knew and people I didn't know, all doing the same thing: cheering, hugging, crying......

Someone is tearing up review materials that have been treasured for months;

Some people dragged their brothers and sisters to run around the campus together, shouting and screaming;

Someone threw a book or even a bag into the air, let it fall into the dust, and didn't pay attention to it......

This is the place where we have been through three years of ups and downs together, and some of us have even spent six years of our youth together.

We wanted to blow this place up with a nuclear bomb before we graduated, but after graduation, we would rather start all over again than leave here!

This is our high school.

It's a full stop, we need to draw it ourselves!

The school leaders of Thornton Middle School grasped the excitement of the students who had just finished the college entrance examination, and arranged the teacher appreciation banquet held by the whole year directly on the evening of June 8.

Facts have proved that the school leaders' decision-making is very wise, and with the permission of the section chief, the students' desire to get their teachers drunk obviously overrides the dangerous thinking that "only the constitution can control me after 5 o'clock this afternoon" after they have just finished the exam.

Lin Xiao's senior high school class spontaneously organized another group to sing at the KTV next to the hotel after the teacher appreciation banquet was dispersed. As a qualified tone-deaf person, Lin Xiao didn't want to participate in this kind of thing, but after thinking about it, he was the class leader after all, and he was embarrassed to refuse this kind of group activity.

So then, someone sat on the sofa in the private room and ate snacks for two hours, watching the singer in front of him sing and dance and then singing, occasionally clapping, and touching two glasses with his classmates, mixing time little by little.

The school announced in the class group through the class teacher that the students living on campus must return to the dormitory by 12 p.m. Lin Xiao and several class committee members worked together to persuade a few classmates who had already been overdone - they were not drunk, and they were so drunk that they were ...... If you don't have anything to say, just get on and help you go!

Lin Xiao and deputy head teacher Jiang Ningning walked with difficulty on the way back to school by supporting a girl who was already drunk and almost fell asleep. The two girls didn't drink very well, and they drank a few more glasses regardless of the excitement today, but now they are suffering from the two squad leaders, and they have to spend a lot of effort to send them back to the dormitory.

There is not much time left before the time limit set by the school at twelve o'clock, and if you take the main road, you need to take a detour, and if you walk normally, it is no problem, but now there are still two drunk girls in tow, and it must be too late.

Lin Xiao and Jiang Ningning briefly discussed it and walked into a dark alley.

It's the only shortcut to school, but the problem is that no student wants to walk here in the middle of the night, especially girls......

By the time Lin Xiao and the others reacted, they had already been blocked by people in front and back. Those people were doing strange hairstyles one by one, dressed up in a flowing manner, with cigarettes in their mouths, and looked at Jiang Ningning and the two drunk girls with obscene eyes.

Hell, I really let myself bump into it!

Lin Xiao sighed in his heart, "Luck is really back", leaned sideways to the wall of the dark alley, stretched out his hand to protect Jiang Ningning and the others behind him, took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, and then said: "A few big brothers, please make way, we are in a hurry." ”

The man at the head directly ignored Lin Xiao's words, and smiled lewdly at Jiang Ningning behind him: "Beauty, where are you going in such a hurry?

Jiang Ningning hugged the two confused girls, didn't dare to respond, and shrank behind Lin Xiao and trembled in fear. To be honest, she didn't have any hope that Lin Xiao would be able to drive away this group of gangsters from the mixed society, and she shrank behind him just because this was her only protection/umbrella now.

The hooligan leader took a few steps forward, pushed towards Lin Xiao rudely with one hand, and wanted to arrest Jiang Ningning with the other. His younger brothers all gathered around to watch the excitement, not at all worried about what kind of storm a high school student who looked weak could set off.

So, under the watchful eyes of all the younger brothers, their eldest knelt down...... Really kneeling!

The hooligan leader's hand did not push Lin Xiao, or he was caught before his hand could be pushed on the other party, and then there was a crisp sound from several of his knuckles......

The hooligan leader fell to his knees and began to roll on the ground in pain. His younger brothers were horrified to see that their boss's right hand, several fingers twisted at various incredible angles, had been broken by force!

The dark alley was filled with the screams and rolling sounds of the hooligan leaders, and everyone was stunned.

Among them is Jiang Ningning behind Lin Xiao......

4.

Jiang Ningning was in the same class as Lin Xiao in junior high school, and the two were still at the same table; Their friendship lasted for six years.

She had never seen Lin Xiao beat someone.

To be precise, she had never seen the person in front of her really get angry.

In Jiang Ningning's impression, Lin Xiao will always look like he is giggling and heartless, and that lazy appearance is completely inconsistent with his identity as the first in the liberal arts section.

When you scold him, he still laughs, and then when you finish scolding, he puts on a disdainful face and mocks you to the point of shame. You were so angry that you vomited blood, and he didn't forget to say to you: "No thanks!"

When you do something to him, he looks at you coldly with that murderous look, and when you get tired of moving, he kicks you away...... It doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman, it's the same for everyone.

But if you really fight, let alone Jiang Ningning, even if you go up to the school teacher, down to your classmates, even if it is his best buddy Liu Ziyi, I have never seen Lin Xiao really do it with others.

And now, he's broken a man's finger!

Jiang Ningning was completely stupid, and he didn't hear Lin Xiao say to himself: "Take them and leave!" The other gangsters were also stunned in place, for this group of outsiders, they hadn't encountered such a hard nail for a long time, and now they suddenly ran into one, and they didn't know what to do all of a sudden.

I saw Lin Xiao step forward and grab the hooligan leader who was rolling on the ground, grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up, and leaned into his ear and didn't know what to say. When the hooligan leader heard this, his face suddenly showed an extremely frightened look, his eyes widened, and then his eyes rolled and he fainted. Lin Xiao let go of his hand and let him fall to the ground.

"Your fingers are harder than your boss, aren't they?"

The thugs hurriedly lifted their boss out of the alley and fled without a trace.

Lin Xiao turned around and helped a girl from Jiang Ningning, who was stunned in place: "Let's go, sisters." Jiang Ningning came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream, and hurriedly rushed forward: "You...... You...... You're ......."

"What is it?"

Jiang Ningning was stunned for a long time, and when he opened his mouth, he forgot how to express himself. After a long pause, he said slowly: "I've never seen you fight, let alone ...... Such a ruthless hand!"

"Just because I don't do it doesn't mean I can't do it, okay?"

"When did you learn kung fu?"

"If you don't hurry up, you're really going to be late!"

"Then you can tell me," Jiang Ningning asked reluctantly, "You just ...... What did you say to that person?"

Lin Xiao glanced back at the place where the gangsters had fled: "It's nothing, I gave him a piece of advice, telling him not to mess around in the future." ”

...............

A few minutes ago.

"Do you know that Applejack?" said Lin Xiao in the ear of the rogue leader.

Of course, the gangster leader knew that although he wasn't really good, as a member of the mixed society, he had heard the name "Applejack". A year ago, there was a small gang in this area, led by Applejack. He and his younger brother either spend their days racing in Internet cafes or congregating in the school district to blackmail students.

However, the gang is disbanded, and Applejack is never seen again. I heard that he provoked someone who shouldn't be messed with, and he and the group of little brothers he brought with him were beaten half to death, and I don't know if they were crippled or what. He was reportedly seen a few months ago, in a wheelchair......

The hooligan leader suddenly thought of something, and his eyes widened in horror.

Lin Xiao sneered and said the next sentence:

"He provoked me, I abolished him!"
