XIV. Brotherhood and Sisterhood
Lin Weiyue felt that their laughter was very weird.
It feels like a hunter smiling when he sees his prey on it.
But for some reason, she was not disgusted by this kind of laughter, she had already sensed that the atmosphere here was not what she imagined, belonging to the exchange salon of the elites, but more like a group of vested interests dividing their cake.
Is she a cake? She doesn't know.
But she decided to keep watching, and finally joined the place, and she didn't want to give up easily.
The girl walked downstairs with difficulty, and when she saw Lin Weiyue looking at her curiously, she lifted her lips.
Like laughing and crying, Lin Weiyue read two diametrically opposed emotions from her face.
The girl passed by Lin Weiyue, carrying a cotton slipper, which was white, a bit like the disposable slippers in the hotel.
She walked to the dining table, Wang Ji was still nibbling on chicken wings, and a pile of chicken bones had accumulated in front of her.
He gnawed and stared at the girl's face and smiled, his smile was full of inferiority, and he was the most explicit of all the boys here.
Lin Weiyue thought, if this is really what she imagined, then for what reason did they accept Wang Ji?
The girl's face was flushed by his staring, as if the burning gaze could see through the clothes, and although she was dressed tightly, she also subconsciously covered her chest.
"Don't worry, you're not like them. ”
The boy noticed Lin Weiyue's changing face and said with a smile.
Lin Weiyue turned her head to look at him, what did she mean that she was different from them, she didn't understand what the other party meant.
What are they, and if they are the cake, isn't she?
I only heard the boy say again: "Go up, turn left on the second floor, in the first room, someone is waiting for you." ”
Hearing the word "room", Lin Weiyue's heart suddenly burst, thinking of the girl's difficult walking posture just now, the two blushes hanging on her cheeks, and Wang Ji's undisguised smile, all of which were connected in series.
She tried to retreat, but her body walked forward.
No one stopped her behind her, but she had no way back, and life was the biggest obstacle that forced her to move forward and up, even if the front was the thing she once despised the most.
Walk slowly upstairs.
Lin Weiyue was still thinking about what the boy's sentence "You are different from them" meant.
Finally, no matter how slow she walked, she inevitably made it to the second floor.
Turn left, the first room, the door is closed.
Lin Weiyue bit her lower lip, hesitated, knocked on the door, waited for a while, and a voice came from inside: "Please come in." ”
Listening to the tone, it doesn't seem like impatience. Moreover, the other party's voice was warm, and even Lin Weiyue's nervousness was a little lighter.
Unscrewing the doorknob, she gently pushed it open, knowing that the moment she opened the door, her fate would change.
Behind the door.
To Lin Weiyue's expectation, it was a study, and she thought there would be an exaggerated big bed.
A boy sits behind a desk with his hands flat on the table, behind which is a huge bookshelf full of books.
He looked at her with a gentle look in his eyes.
Lin Weiyue took a few steps forward blankly, and hesitantly came to the desk.
So, is she over-supplementing? It's not what she thought it was?
"Tell me about it. ”
The boy smiled and said, "My name is Jiang Wenxin, sheep girl Jiang, gentle Wen, happy heart." First time meeting, Lin Weiyue, it's a pleasure to meet you. As he spoke, he leaned over slightly, crossed his hand over the desk, and wanted to shake hands with Lin Weiyue.
Lin Weiyue hurriedly stretched out her hand and shook him.
Her handshake was hurried, cold, and very brief, as if she had touched each other quickly in the palm of her hand, and that was it.
While shaking hands, she keenly observed that the other party's hands were very beautiful, and the fingers were very white, very long, slowly taper and sharper, as if they rarely touched the sun.
"There's a chair there, you can move it over. Jiang Wenxin sat down and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I rarely have people here, so the chair may be a little gray, please forgive me." ”
Lin Weiyue pulled down her sideburns, which was a subconscious action when she was at a loss.
Then, she turned her head and looked around, finally finding the wooden chair in the corner of the room.
It was just sitting there alone, as Jiang Wenxin said, no one had moved it for a long time.
Lin Weiyue struggled to move it to the desk, ignoring the thin layer of dust on it, and hurriedly sat down, she was worried that Jiang Wenxin would be impatient because of her slow movements.
In the process, she was thinking again, shouldn't it be the boy who helped the girl move at this time, why did the other party have no intention of moving.
From beginning to end, Jiang Wenxin was smiling gently, and his smile gave people a feeling like a spring breeze. But he didn't mean to get up, and his ass felt like he was being burned on the seat below.
After Lin Weiyue sat down, her mind slowly became calm, her hands were placed on her legs, and her fingers gradually stopped from restless strokes.
Seeing that the girl in front of him had changed from a panicked fawn to a warrior who seemed to be able to meet any challenge, Jiang Wenxin bowed slightly, and then said, "You should have already met my brother, right?"
"Huh?" Lin Weiyue blinked quickly.
"It's the guy who told you to go upstairs before. Jiang Wenxin continued.
It's him. Lin Weiyue's heart suddenly changed, and she said, "Well, I've seen it." ”
"He's the one in the group who 'I love to learn and persevere'. His real name is Jiang Xueheng, and you should have heard his name. ”
When he said this nickname, Jiang Wenxin smiled happily, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, he had a pair of smiling eyes, and he looked harmless to humans and animals.
For some reason, Lin Weiyue suddenly felt a trace of disobedience, she thought that the other party would talk to her about ideals, future and ambitions, but his opening remarks were so simple, the first sentence was to mention his younger brother first.
Lin Weiyue didn't speak, because she didn't know what the other party meant by saying this now, and where this conversation was going.
"He's a very nice guy. Jiang Wenxin said, "I just don't like to focus on studying, and I only took more than 50 ...... in the last grade monthly exam."
Jiang Wen babbled a lot in his heart, and Lin Weiyue was in a fog when he heard it.
More than twenty minutes later, Lin Weiyue walked out of the study in a daze, Jiang Wenxin talked about his brother for more than twenty minutes, that concerned gesture, like the White Emperor City entrusting the orphan, giving people the feeling that he wanted to entrust Jiang Xueheng to her.
To be more precise, he wanted her to tutor Jiang Xueheng's homework.
This is really in line with the true meaning of the group name "Elite Students in the First Year of High School Help Each Other".
But that's not what Lin Weiyue wants, how much money can she earn as a tutor, can she be rich, can she buy a villa here in her lifetime, can she get rid of that nightmare?
Lin Weiyue walked downstairs, her face cloudy.
After Jiang Xueheng saw her, he walked over to her.
"Have you met my brother?" he asked.
Lin Weiyue nodded.
"Did he tell you a whole bunch of what he didn't have again?"
"It's not that there is nothing, it's-"
"Ignore him, because my parents are both working in other places, and he thinks that his eldest brother is like a father, and he always likes to treat me like this and that. ”
"......" Lin Weiyue was silent, and after a while, he said: "Don't say that, he is also for your good." ”
"You know what?"
Jiang Xueheng suddenly said something to the horse's mouth.
"What?"
"You're the first girl in this group. ”
“…… What about them?" Lin Weiyue glanced at the living room, and the delicate faces from before were missing one or two at this time, and some boys also disappeared with them.
In the whole living room, only the two of them and three or two men and women were nestled in the dining room to eat and chat.
Wang Ji and the girl just now also disappeared.
"They are not from our school. ”
"That's why you told me I was different from them?"
"Of course it's not just that. ”
Jiang Xueheng took Lin Weiyue to sit down on the sofa and said to her: "I'll tell you the truth, since you first initiated a request to join the group, I have investigated you. ”
"Huh?"
"The conclusion is that you are very ambitious, there are very few girls in that group, to be precise, you are the first. ”
"What is that group for?" Lin Weiyue asked puzzled.
"At first, it was, as the name suggests, a group of elite students helping each other. My brother built it. ”
"He is also a student of our school?" Lin Weiyue asked, "Why have I never seen it, and I have no impression at all." ”
Jiang Xueheng shook his head: "He's not." ”
"Wait!"
Lin Weiyue seemed to remember something, "As far as I know, that group is not—"
"Hahaha......" Jiang Xueheng laughed, "Did you also hear those rumors, they were originally spread by me." ”
"So, it's all fake!?"
"Not exactly. Jiang Xueheng said, "I said, this is just the original purpose, and now, I plan to develop it into a student club similar to a fraternity." You should know what a brotherhood is, right?"
Lin Weiyue nodded.
Fraternities, student clubs at American universities, and sororities.
What started as a secret gathering for students to privately praise and disparage their teachers and what was once a discussion of academics has evolved into a kind of networking and public relations venue for men and women to be dissolute.
"Do you want me to develop a sorority?" Lin Weiyue asked coldly.
reminiscent of Jiang Xueheng saying that she was the first girl in this group, and there may only be this one left.
Jiang Xueheng bowed: "There are only a few needs in this world, and at our age, there are even fewer types of needs. Money and beauty. In the future, the brothers will have me, and the sisters will have you, and everyone will help each other and benefit each other, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"
"Why did you choose me?" Lin Weiyue asked calmly, with a bit of intention in her tone.
Jiang Xueheng smiled: "I said, I have investigated you and know what happened to you before, to be honest, I sympathize with your experience." But it's these encounters that have shaped you into who you are today. You become more ambitious. I think that throughout Begonia High School, you are the most suitable person to be the president of the sorority. ”
"Sisterhood. Lin Weiyue sneered twice, "That's a nice word, don't you just want me to push them into your fire pit?"
"How can it be said that it is a fire pit?" Jiang Xueheng is still old-fashioned, "Help each other and benefit each other, just like the girl you just saw, we take the money, and she pays her own value." Equal deals. A truth. Besides, the fraternity is not all scum, you just saw it, there are also a lot of talents, maybe there are a few pairs of sincere love?
Besides, even if you don't, there will always be people who will take the bait. And if you do, it will become more disciplined.
Speaking of which, classmate Lin Weiyue, in fact, you are lucky, you were admitted to Begonia High School, awakened Lingwen, and even awakened a rare [Red Carp], and you don't have to worry about the future. But have you ever thought about them, these people who have not awakened the spirit text or awakened the spirit text but no one has funded the development, except for the appearance and figure of being used by others, are almost useless. If they don't, how will they survive in a dangerous world full of monsters, sea beasts, and evil psionics? I think they need you. ”
As he spoke, he put his hand on Lin Weiyue's skiing white thigh and rubbed it slowly.
Lin Weiyue suppressed the disgust in her eyes, and did not slap his hand away, but said, "Is this how you measure everyone by value?"
"It's an elite world. ”
Jiang Xueheng felt the slippery palm of his hand, and said as a matter of course: "The garbage that has no value will naturally be discarded." ”
"If one day I'm worthless, you're going to kick me away mercilessly, aren't you?"
"Of course. Jiang Xueheng said bluntly, and then added: "So, Lin Weiyue, we all have to study hard and persevere, only in this way can we ensure that our value can survive." ”
Hearing the words "study hard" from his mouth, Lin Weiyue couldn't help but feel a little nauseous.
"I'm sorry, but you have a point, but I refuse. Lin Weiyue got up and was about to leave, she didn't walk fast.
Jiang Xueheng said lazily behind her: "Actually, I want to agree in my heart." It's just that for that little bit of conscience, I gave up the opportunity to get rid of my father who was a bad gambler. Won't you regret it?"
"Not because of conscience. ”
Lin Weiyue stopped and whispered, "I don't have that kind of thing for a long time." It's because you're acting too flirtatious. I don't want my partner to be that kind of person. ”
After speaking, he left the villa quickly, without giving Jiang Xueheng any time to stay.
Jiang Xueheng sinked into the sofa, looked at the door that was slammed shut, shook his palm, felt the slippery that seemed to still exist, and raised his eyebrows with interest.
"What a fiery horse. "But I'm sure you'll be back." You're the kind of person who sharpens your head. ”
Lin Weiyue strode in the villa area.
At this moment, with a ding, she took out her mobile phone, and it was a message from Jiang Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyue, is your mother okay?"
Lin Weiyue immediately replied: "It's okay." Then he slipped his phone into his pocket.
She didn't have a mother, her mother was killed by her father when she was eleven years old. Strictly speaking, if it weren't for the immediate rescue of the neighbors, even she would have died at the hands of her father. Lin Weiyue doesn't feel sorry for her dead mother, and even, she is a little fast.
The events of the eleventh year were a nightmare that she would dream of every time she dreamed back at midnight, constantly tearing at her seemingly peaceful life like a vicious dog.
At that time, she was in the fifth grade of elementary school, and she had just finished school, and she came home with a bouncing home, and her parents were silent at the dinner table. So at nine o'clock in the evening, when she had finished her homework and was about to go to bed, she was in a daze, when she suddenly felt someone tie herself with a rope. She opened her eyes in fear and saw her mother holding a twine that had tied her limbs strongly.
"Mom, what are you doing?" she asked timidly.
When the woman heard her daughter's voice, she raised her head and looked at her, her face became panicked, and immediately after, tears began to fall.
"What's wrong?" the man outside the house heard the movement and ran in, and saw his daughter tied up on the bed, but there was no surprise on his face.
"Dad, Mommy made me sore. Xiao Lin Weiyue moved, and the hemp rope made her wrists and ankles hurt.
"Xiaoyue, you bear with me, soon. The man comforted him and walked out again.
The woman said while crying: "Xiaoyue, it's your parents who are sorry for you, ...... next life"
Later, Lin Weiyue didn't want to think about it anymore, and when she recalled it a little, it was an overwhelming flame.
It wasn't until Lin Weiyue grew up that she figured out the cause and effect of what happened that night: her father owed a huge gambling debt, and her mother had borrowed all her relatives to pay off the debt, but she still couldn't plug this huge loophole. As a last resort, they decided to die and leave this world as an escape.
But why did they take her?
She couldn't figure it out.
It is said that tiger poison does not eat children.
It turns out that once a person is ruthless, he is more ruthless than a tiger.
The flames spread rapidly in the house, and the neighbors smelled the smoke and realized that it was on fire. It just so happened that one of them was a psyker, and he kicked open the door and rushed in to rescue Lin Weiyue and her father, while her mother, because it was too late to rescue, left this world permanently.
Lin Weiyue grew up with the voices of her relatives collecting debts and the sound of debt collectors banging on the door of underground casinos.
She dreamed of becoming rich and escaping the nightmare of these two voices.
She wants to have a life that belongs only to her, she also yearns for sweet love, yearns for those wonderful scenery, and even those notorious monsters, she wants to take a look.
She thought that she had already encountered the scariest thing in the world, and no matter how scary the monster was, it would not be as scary as her parents that night.
Bite.
The phone rang.
She took it out and looked at it, it turned out that Jiang Xiaoyu sent her a red envelope again, not much, not much for Jiang Xiaoyu, just two thousand, and the greeting was "I hope Auntie will recover soon".
Lin Weiyue didn't accept it, her eyebrows and eyes lowered, her feet paused, and then, she turned around and returned to the third unit 306.
Ding dong.
The doorbell rings.
Five seconds later, the door was opened, Jiang Xueheng looked at Lin Weiyue outside the door, and laughed: "I knew that you would definitely come back." ”
Lin Weiyue's face was expressionless: "If you want me to join you, there are two conditions, first, the members of the sorority must be personally selected by me, and you, including the fraternity, must not interfere." Second, the sorority is not your vassal, I want it to be on an equal footing with you, I am not a Qinglou, and I can't be a bustard, go with them, if any of you want to force my members, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people. ”
"That's all there to say. ”
Jiang Xueheng still smiled, "There will be time to talk about it in detail in the future." As he spoke, he welcomed Lin Weiyue into the house.
Suddenly, Lin Weiyue asked, "Does your brother know about this?"
Jiang Xueheng closed the door for a moment, and then said: "He doesn't know, he still thinks that you are here to give me a make-up lesson and exchange learning experiences by the way." ”
"His room is so well soundproofed?"
"You've been there before, so you should have some experience. Jiang Xueheng explained, "My brother has not been in good health since he was a child, he is not suitable for intense exercise, suitable for sitting or lying down, and needs to recuperate, so I have specially modified the walls of his room." ”
Lin Weiyue nodded and didn't say anything more.
In this way, she is considered to be in the gang, and she hopes that this is the right decision, and that it will help her get out of the predicament that is suffocating her more and more, or rather, a desperate situation.
From beginning to end, she didn't think about giving up this opportunity, she couldn't give up this opportunity. All she wants is to retreat and advance and gain more room for negotiation.
