Chapter 7
In a hotel box near Nancheng High School
As soon as Lin Qiqi walked into the box, he saw that his father Lin Qiangxiong had been waiting for a long time. Seeing that Lin Qiqi was coming, he tried his best to look at Lin Qiqi with a smile on his face, and the table was already full of dishes.
Lin Qiqi looked at his father Lin Qiangxiong, who was a little abnormal, walked over with some hesitation, and called Lin Qiangxiong dad without being salty or indifferent. Then, he picked a seat far away from Lin Qiangxiong and sat down.
Lin Qiangxiong was not annoyed by his daughter Lin Qiqi's alienation from him, and took the initiative to come over and sit next to Lin Qiqi.
"Qiqi, I heard that you took the first place in the school this time, and Dad is really happy for you. You said you weren't coming home recently, and Dad was still worried about you. ”
Lin Qiangxiong spoke first, breaking the dull atmosphere.
"Dad, you didn't come to me for dinner today, did you?"
Lin Qiqi didn't want to play Lin Qiangxiong first, and the father-daughter relationship was deep. She had already guessed that Lin Qiangxiong was looking for her purpose today. It must be to test whether the previous blackmail text messages were done by yourself.
"What do you say, you're my daughter, I can't care anymore."
Lin Qiangxiong pretended to be disgusted and said that he didn't want to get straight to the point with Lin Qiqi.
After Lin Qiangxiong finished speaking, he stole a glance at Lin Qiqi and observed Lin Qiqi carefully. Seeing that Lin Qiqi's face was as calm as water, eating the dishes by himself, he continued: "Dad knows that there has been a lack of care for you over the years, and your mother has been missing for so many years, so I will take on the responsibility of being a father in the future and care more about your study and life." ”
"Dad, I'm an adult now, and I can take good care of myself, so you should worry more about Aunt Su and Lin Fei'er."
After Lin Qiqi finished speaking, he quietly put down the chopsticks in his hand, and had no desire to continue eating.
Hearing his father Lin Qiangxiong suddenly mention his mother, some bad memories immediately surfaced in Lin Qiqi's mind.
Before the age of ten, Lin Qiqi's father always did not come home on the grounds that he was busy with work, and Lin Qiqi and his mother Li Liying often did not see their father.
But when his stepmother Su Meixiang got married, Lin Qiangxiong suddenly changed his sex and became very family-oriented. Try to go home every day to accompany Su Meixiang to eat, and care more about Lin Fei'er than about herself, as if Lin Fei'er was born to him and picked it up by herself.
Slowly, Lin Qiqi seemed to accept the fact that his father didn't love him. I no longer longed for my father's care and love, and my heart became numb, and I could only feel my heart congested and cry uncomfortably when I thought of my mother.
"You came to me today, and you specially ordered so many dishes, aren't you afraid that Aunt Su will accuse you of spending money indiscriminately when you go back?"
Lin Qiangxiong was stunned for a moment when he saw Lin Qiqi ask like this. Today, I specially asked Su Meixiang for instructions to set Lin Qiqi's words. Su Meixiang specially approved 500 yuan.
"How come, in our family, I can still call the shots," Lin Qiangxiong hurriedly said haha.
"Dad, you said that back then, how did my mother disappear without a trace, and even the police couldn't find any clues?"
Before Lin Qiangxiong could start talking, he was stopped by Lin Qiqi's preconceived question. But soon his eyes rolled and he said, "Qiqi, I am also very sad that your mother disappeared back then." But the deceased is gone, you have to concentrate on your studies, and don't be influenced by other things or anyone. ”
After Lin Qiangxiong finished speaking, he tried to pretend to be regretful.
"My mom has been missing for eight years, and I've come to terms with that. Dad, don't be sad anymore. After all, eight years ago, you didn't cause your mother's disappearance! Lin Qiqi deliberately said in an accentuated tone with the last sentence.
Lin Qiang glanced at Lin Qiqi with a weak heart, and found that Lin Qiqi was looking at him, so he hurriedly shifted his gaze to a bowl of braised pork.
"Qiqi, you can't listen to what anyone said, right? I know that you blame me for not caring for you well all these years, and I blame myself too. But you can't take someone's word for it and do something stupid, after all, I'm your father. ”
"Dad, there's nothing else to do, I'll go back to school first."
After Lin Qiqi finished speaking, he got up and left the hotel box.
After this meal, Lin Qiangxiong can be sure that the last SMS threat incident was done by Lin Qiqi. Because after receiving the text message, more than half a month has passed, and nothing abnormal has happened.
The annual school sports day has begun.
Jiang Nan and Ji Bai signed up for the men's 3000-meter run at the same time.
When Jiang Nan and Ji Bai stood on the runway at the same time, most of the girls in the school rushed to cheer for Ji Bai from watching other projects. Lin Fei'er held mineral water all the way, and was ready to deliver water to Ji Bai around the runway. In the eyes of the audience, Lin Feier and Ji Bai looked very much like a couple. Both sides are academic tyrants, golden boys and girls, no matter in which aspect, they are a natural pair.
Li Ruikai took two bottles of water and ran with the two people on the field, sweating profusely, the two people on the field were still tired, it was really for the brothers to take their lives out.
Ji Bai was guarded by a school flower like Lin Fei'er, and the other girls knew that they were not playing, so they turned to other more handsome boys to cheer for her.
Although Jiangnan's facial features and height are not as good as Ji Bai's, his overall temperament is still very good, and because of his regular exercise, running 3,000 meters is not a problem at all. The stride is lighter than that of the other contestants, so it looks more handsome. There were four or five girls around him at the same time, bringing him water and cheering.
Lin Qiqi took a few bottles of mineral water and sat in the shade of a camphor tree fifty meters away from the runway, quietly waiting for the game to end.
"You have no heart, you are hiding here alone, and you don't come to my family Nannan, cheer up!"
Li Ruikai gasped and said to Lin Qiqi, and Jiangnan Jibai came to find Lin Qiqi together, followed by Lin Fei'er.
Jiang Nan smiled happily and took the mineral water bottle from Lin Qiqi's hand, unscrewed the cap and drank most of the bottle in one go, and stared at Lin Qiqi and smirked after drinking.
Ji Bai looked at the scene in front of him, and only felt dazzling. Picked up a bottle of mineral water from the few bottles of mineral water that Lin Qiqi put on the ground, turned his head to look away and looked into the distance, and drank all the bottles of water.
While a few people were talking, a girl had already walked over.
"Congratulations, you just won first place in the competition."
The girl came to Jiangnan, and after speaking, she handed Jiangnan a bottle of mineral water.
Jiang Nan looked at the mineral water in the girl's hand with some embarrassment and did not reach out to take it, but instead asked Lin Qiqi's opinion with his eyes.
"Yuyu, it's you!"
Lin Qiqi said happily that the person who came was his friend Wang Heyu.
Wang and Yu also recognized Lin Qiqi, and the two hugged each other happily. Since Lin Qiqi went to Class 1, it seems that he has disappeared from his own world, leaving only a few words about the legend of Lin Qiqi.
With the addition of Wang and Yu, the atmosphere between several people is finally not as depressing and embarrassing as before. Because Wang and Yu are a chatter and pistachio.
Wang Youyu came to find Jiangnan, but they were not just stunned by Jiangnan's handsomeness on the field just now. It's a crush that started in high school, and today I finally mustered up the courage and decided to go to him.
"Qiqi's friends are our friends, and I have a treat in the cafeteria today. Let's go, it's been a long time since we've had a good meal together. ”
Jiangnan proposed, and several others also agreed.
