Chapter 20: O boy struggling in the dark!

At half past eight on Friday night, Shijiapu City, Jiangbei Province.

Dark clouds, thunder, lightning and torrential rain loom over the city, leaving people breathless. It is a backward heavy industrial town located in the northern part of the country, and when you walk down the street, you can smell exhaust fumes everywhere.

With the rapid rise of the southeast, heavy industrial cities are slowly declining. And changing one's fate through the college entrance examination and being admitted to a good school is the expectation that parents here have for their children.

But God does not fulfill people's wishes, and there are endless candidates who fail to make the list every year, and Chen Xi is one of them.

More than a month has passed since the college entrance examination, and the dust has settled on all the school admission results. And this high-achieving student who once studied in Jiangbei Hengshui No. 2 Middle School and was regarded as the hope of the Chen family, did not even receive an admission letter.

On TV, the first game of the Dongguo Voice Mentor Placement Competition is being broadcast, but Chen's mother and Chen's father are not affected by the excitement inside, and they are still frowning.

Chen's mother sighed, and the voice in the TV was as dull as chewing wax. She held her head and said complainingly: "The child is his father, what should I do?" Chen Xi has locked himself in the house for a month, and if he continues like this, I am worried that he will do stupid things. ”

Father Chen glanced at Chen Xi's closed door, and shook his head helplessly.

They know that Chen Xi is now in the most frustrated time in his life, and he obviously has the possibility of impacting a famous university, but he was tripped up at the critical juncture of the college entrance examination. They still remember that the weather on the last day of the college entrance examination was also like this night, with lightning and thunder, like the end of the world. On the way to the English test, there was an unexpected jam, and the taxi Chen Xi was taking was stranded at the intersection.

It was a desperate afternoon, and the family rushed to the test center despite the heavy rain, but unfortunately it was still one minute beyond the allotted time. Countless parents who sent the exam regretted this and pleaded, but they couldn't send Chen Xi into the examination room after all. The next day, he ridiculously appeared on top of the headlines. The news man's understatement is the biggest joke in his life.

"It's also our fault when something like this happens, let's start preparing for the repetition, my brother can still make up 3,000 over there, plus our family's savings, it's estimated to be enough." Chen's father said.

"It's not up to us to say whether to repeat or not, I'm afraid that Chen Xi will really not be able to get up if he gets hit again." Although Chen's mother agreed in her heart, she said worriedly.

The couple fell into sorrow for a while, and at this time, Chen Xi's door was suddenly pushed open. In a month and a half, he seems to have aged several years, but fortunately, he now has a smile on his face.

"Mom, Dad."

Chen Xi looked at his father and mother affectionately, choked up and said: "I have already figured it out, thirty years in Hexi, thirty years in Hedong, don't bully young people to be poor!" It doesn't matter if I fall this time, I'll get up again next time! ”

Mother Chen was stunned when she heard this, and reacted for a long time before she said in a daze: "Son, have you thought about it?" Where did you hear that? ”

A trace of calmness appeared on Chen Xi's depressed face, and then he held his backward old-fashioned mobile phone in the palm of his hand as if he were a treasure, and said: "I don't know who he is, but I just saw his novel by chance, and I was moved unconsciously." ”

In fact, due to the promise of leisurely sealing the dust and fans, a total of 500 chapters of novels were updated in two days, creating a record of updates in the history of online literature. Not only that, but he also became the author with the fastest speed to reach Baimeng in the starting point Chinese network! Therefore, it has become a veritable hot author!

His only interest when he was in school was reading novels, so after failing the college entrance examination, he couldn't extricate himself from indulging in the virtual world of novels. The day before yesterday, when "Breaking the Sky" appeared on the daily sales list, it attracted Chen Xi's attention. After becoming a hot author, he immediately added the book to the shelf, so out of control, staying up late to catch up on all the updates.

Admittedly, this novel not only made him feel good to read, but also made him see his hope for the future.

Xiao Yanhe! He was the most high-profile genius boy in Utan City, but he fell at the most glorious time. On the other hand, it seems that he doesn't use the word "fall" to describe it, at best he is just unlucky, and he needs to survive for another year. The persistence and refusal to give up in Dou Po rekindled a fighting spirit in his heart, and he was even willing to believe that this was just a test of God for him, and his blessings were still to come.

Seeing his son cheer up again, Chen's father and Chen's mother both showed a touch of relief on their faces. Seeing that their son was able to find himself again, they hurriedly took Chen Xi into their arms and hugged him with their long-lost arms.

"Mom and Dad, next time, my son will definitely not let you down." Chen Xi bit his lip.

After more than a month of forbearance, the originally dead Chen family finally ushered in laughter. The comfort to their son made the husband and wife completely skip the program of The Voice of the East Kingdom, and then at this moment, a voice caught Chen Xi's attention.

The TV show started airing at 7:30 in prime time, and now it's in the second half, and the fifth contestant has already appeared. As is customary, a short section of VCR is advanced before it takes the stage.

The living environment of this player named Lu Yunfeng is not good, and he is even a little similar to Chen Xi's. As a result, his nose couldn't help but feel sour. However, the person under the camera is straight, calm and unhurried, and he can't see the polishing of life and years on him at all.

"Hello everyone, my name is Lu Yunfeng. As you can see, in the market, there is an ordinary young man. Singing is my dream, but due to the burden of my family, this dream can only drift away......"

"Son, when did you pay attention to talent shows?" Chen's mother looked back curiously. But this young man is dressed in a somewhat unusual way, so he doesn't like them very much.

Chen Xi shook his head and said, "It's not that I like to watch talent shows, but I think this person's temperament is very special." ”

The family was attracted by Chen Xi's description, and immediately sat down together to watch Lu Yunfeng's VCR. In it, he talked about his not optimistic past, but there was no hint of complaining about fate in his words. When asked about family conditions, he calmly replied that "heroes don't ask where they come from." And when he was asked to bless the frustrated young man, he said the proverb that pulled Chen Xi out of the abyss in a sophisticated tone.

The future is terrifying, don't bully the poor youth!

In an instant, the pain that had been suppressed for a long time in Chen Xi's heart poured out instantly, and two lines of hot tears slipped from the corners of his eyes.
