Chapter 2: The Woman in Red
When Li Donghua returned home in the evening, he saw his son looking dejected, his brows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "What's the matter, I don't have confidence in tomorrow's exam?"
Li Lei's mind was still immersed in the phone call in the morning, and he was stunned when he heard his father's words, and then shook his head: "No, I'm okay, it's just ......."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by his father: "Manly man, no matter what, you have to face it seriously." Your eighteenth birthday today, after today, you will be an adult, don't be like a woman. ”
Li Lei nodded helplessly, and watched his father enter the study.
has been like this since childhood, there seems to be no communication between my father and myself, and every time I don't say a few words, I will be reprimanded by him.
Because there was an exam tomorrow, Li Lei didn't bother with anything more, silently went back to his room, opened the book and began to review. It is said that grinding guns in battle, not fast and light, tomorrow's first subject is Chinese, Li Lei hopes that he can get a good score in the exam.
As for the mysterious phone call, although Li Lei had some doubts in his heart, just like his father said, the college entrance examination is now his important thing.
The next morning, when Li Lei got up, his father had already left the house, and there was a prepared breakfast on the table.
After breakfast and getting on the bus, Li Lei came to the No. 5 Middle School in the city, where he took the exam.
As soon as he got out of the car, Li Lei saw Tang Xin standing not far away at a glance.
Wearing a peaked cap, a dress, carrying exam supplies in her hands, and a pair of black-rimmed glasses, she looks more like a good girl who only knows how to read. Even if Tang Xin stood there, she would attract the people around her to pay attention to her unconsciously.
But Li Lei has never spoken to her, although the classes of the two people are next to each other, and the two of them happen to be next to each other when they do recess exercises, but since the second year of high school, Li Lei has never spoken to that girl.
Now that there was nearly an hour before the start of the exam, Li Lei found a quiet place to sit down, looked at the surrounding environment, and sighed helplessly.
Because the test center is located in the whole city, the candidates of the entire class and even the entire school are disrupted and scattered to the city-wide test shops, Li Lei's luck is relatively poor, and no one in the whole class except himself takes the test in the fifth middle school. It seems that he is not the only one, Tang Xin seems to have come alone.
With a sigh of relief, Li Lei's eyes looked around, most of the students were accompanied by their parents to take the exam, and there were really not many who were alone like himself and Tang Xin.
The sky gradually darkened, dark clouds blocked the sun, Li Lei raised his head, his brows furrowed, and it seemed as if it was going to rain.
On a June day, the child's face really changes when it is said.
Less than a few minutes later, a light rain began to fall in the sky, and Li Lei could no longer sit down where he had been staying, so he had to go to a nearby supermarket to take shelter from the rain.
And at this time, he suddenly noticed that not far from the supermarket, Tang Xin was standing with a person, as if he was talking about something.
"Is there anyone else in Class 9 at this test center?" Li Lei frowned, and couldn't help but feel a little curious about the person who was standing side by side with Tang Xin with an umbrella.
But when his eyes looked at the figure seriously, he was stunned.
"Tomorrow, you can't let Tang Xin and a woman in red leave the ......mall no matter what," Li Lei's mind instantly flashed what the mysterious voice said to him before.
In all fairness, Li Lei has always been skeptical of what the voice says, or rather, he doesn't actually believe in the voice, although the voice says a lot of secrets about himself, but out of vigilance, Li Lei actually has a reservation about any request made by the voice.
But when Li Lei saw the woman in red appear beside Tang Xin, he was shaken.
People are always full of curiosity and fear of unknown things, especially when they know that the future can be predicted at a certain moment, the emotion of fear will certainly run through the human brain, but then it is the curiosity about the future, which is a feeling of peeking into the sky, like a drug that makes people fascinated.
Li Lei is like this at this moment, after what the voice foresaw, there is only one thought in his mind now, that is, whether he should stop Tang Xin and the woman in red from leaving as the voice said.
"Let's see. ”
Talking to himself, Li Lei's eyes were firmly fixed on Tang Xin and the woman in red.
Obviously, they knew each other, or at least they were familiar.
Because the distance between them was not close, Li Lei couldn't hear what the two people were talking about, but it could be seen that the woman's emotions were a little excited, and she was dancing and talking to Tang Xin, and Tang Xin seemed to be struggling with something.
And the next moment, the expression on Li Lei's face changed, because he suddenly saw that Tang Xin seemed to be persuaded by the woman, and the two of them actually walked towards the distance.
Everything was said by that mysterious voice!
Li Lei stood up without saying a word and walked out of the supermarket directly.
Although he didn't know what the mysterious voice was about, he was already full of curiosity about it, and he wanted to see what the truth was anyway.
Tang Xin and the woman in red didn't walk fast, and Li Lei could already see the backs of the two of them from a distance.
It's a relatively secluded location in the middle of the neighborhood and the school, and because it's surrounded by dense woods, no one notices that there is a construction site underway through the woods.
Maybe it's because of the college entrance examination, so the construction site is suspended today, and Tang Xin and the woman in red just walked out of the woods.
At this moment, Li Lei had quietly come to a place less than ten meters away from them, and he could clearly hear the conversation between the two people.
"Where are you going to take me?" Tang Xin stopped and looked at the woman in red walking in front of him.
The woman in red turned around, and Li Lei could see clearly that this woman actually had a weird smile on her face.
"What can you say now?" Tang Xin looked at the woman in red, frowning slightly, with a hint of detachment in her voice.
The woman in red still didn't speak, just looked at Tang Xin in front of her seriously with her eyes, muttering something that only she could hear.
I don't know why, at that moment, Li Lei suddenly had an ominous premonition.
