Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Late Arrivals
Probably because they all belonged to the same class and had similar experiences, Li Linxi felt surprisingly familiar with the woman.
Although it was only a brief intersection, it left a heavy makeup in Li Linxi's heart.
"Mom, I brought you egg noodles with tomatoes today."
A crisp voice suddenly appeared on the riverside avenue, breaking the original hope in Li Linxi's heart.
Because of the source of this voice, Li Linxi is particularly familiar.
"You ......, why are you here?"
Although it was only a short sentence, Li Linxi still felt the surprise of the inquirer.
"Luo Zhi, let me introduce you, this is Qiqi, like us, she is also from the countryside."
Hearing Pang Luozhi's voice, the woman finally stopped her day's work, wiped her hands casually on her clothes, and walked in the direction of Pang Luozhi. While walking, he also smiled and introduced his new acquaintance to Pang Luozhi today.
By the way, as if he suddenly realized, he suddenly took out a lesson of chewing gum from the pocket of his clothes, and naturally handed it to Li Linxi.
Looking at the mint gum with a little peel off, Li Linxi gently hooked the corner of his lips, took it, and squeezed it tightly in the palm of his hand.
The woman looked at Li Linxi again, and then suddenly remembered something, looked at Pang Luozhi and said, "This is Luo Zhi, my daughter."
It's just that the woman didn't know, in fact, she didn't need to make a superfluous introduction. Li Linxi and Pang Luozhi are old acquaintances with deep roots.
"Why are you here?"
Before Li Linxi could speak, Pang Luozhi had already taken the lead in speaking. is just a short sentence, but he expresses the dissatisfaction in his heart vividly.
"I ......, I skipped class ...... and I accidentally got here."
Li Linxi was a little surprised by everything in front of him, and he stammered when he spoke. However, from these intermittent words, Pang Luozhi still knew the answer she wanted.
"Luo Zhi, do you know each other?"
At this somewhat embarrassing season, Pang's mother finally realized something, put down what she was doing, and asked Pang Luozhi with a puzzled look.
"Mom, this is a classmate in our class, the only daughter of our principal, and the object of everyone in our class."
Pang Luozhi finished the whole sentence in a very indifferent tone. The cold tone made the avenue with these gloomy atmospheres even colder.
At the moment when Pang Luozhi finished speaking, Li Linxi clearly felt Pang's mother's complex emotional fluctuations, and also clearly saw the shyness, embarrassment and warm anger contained in her eyebrows.
"I ......, I ......, I ......."
Li Linxi's hand squeezing the gum tightened a little unconsciously. She wanted to explain it very much, but she wasn't sure if she would still make them think she was a liar if she told them now that she wasn't Sukiki.
However, ......, if he didn't explain, Li Linxi was afraid that he would not be able to complete his task in this way, and he was also afraid that the familiarity he had just found in this world would slip away from his mistakes.
Everything was so complicated that Li Linxi didn't know how to open his mouth at all, so he had to keep repeating a word like a crow.
"Oh~, it turns out that Kiki is the daughter of your principal, I thought it was ......."
"Think she's a poor student like us, a person at the bottom of society?"
Because she felt the constant embarrassment of the atmosphere, Pang's mother began to speak as if she was self-deprecating, wanting to say something. But before she could express what she wanted to say, she was interrupted by the angry Pang Luozhi.
Because Li Linxi felt that there seemed to be no way to explain this matter, as if she felt that she was lying. With the guilt in his heart, Li Linxi's face was a little unbearable, so he had to bow his head slightly.
However, although Li Linxi lowered her head slightly, the increasing bright red on Pang's mother's originally dark face still broke into Li Linxi's eyes.
"Su Qiqi, you can do whatever you want at school, you can do whatever you want, anyway, you have a pair of capable parents. But please stay away from me and my mother next time! ”
When Pang Luozhi entered the city for the first time, was ridiculed in the class for the first time, and was bullied for the first time because the family had no money and power, Pang Luozhi had a great resistance to the word "rural" in her heart.
On the surface, she has never been embarrassed or uncomfortable because she is from the countryside and a country girl, but in the bottom of her heart, her family background has always been the most inferior thing in Pang Luozhi's heart.
She loves her mother, and she knows very well how much her mother has given for her. However, when she was ridiculed again and again in the class because of her family background, her heart began to become a little distorted.
The word "rural" is a word she doesn't want to mention. She has been insulted in various ways, but she never expected that one day, there would be someone who would leave the deepest wound in her heart in such a deceptive way.
"I'm sorry, some of the situations are really complicated, but I want you to know that I didn't lie, everything I said is true, and I hope that there is no burden in your heart."
Pang Luozhi's words fell clearly into Li Linxi's heart word by word, and from Pang Luozhi's big eyes with double eyelids, Li Linxi clearly saw Pang Luozhi's somewhat terrifying eyes.
It is said that the eyes are the windows of the soul, before there was no bullshit book wearing activity, Li Linxi once took a course in psychology, and she still remembered what the psychology teacher said: eyes are the best place to gain insight into the true thoughts of a person's heart.
It is precisely in this way that Li Linxi not only saw anger and hidden inferiority complex in Pang Luozhi's eyes at this time, but also saw the madness that could burn the prairie and the jealousy that could not be concealed.
"Luo Zhi, don't be like this, Miss Su may just be joking, you are good, you are all classmates in the same class, talk well."
Looking at Pang Luozhi, who had been glaring at Li Linxi viciously and was a little out of control, Pang's mother reminded Pang Luozhi to pay attention to proportions in a timely manner with a gentle tone.
has lived in this world for so long, and Pang's mother has already experienced ups and downs that Pang Luozhi can't think about. The mentality has matured for a long time, and there are naturally more things to consider.
Now that she knows Li Linxi's "true" identity, she naturally won't let her daughter mess around, so as not to make her life even more difficult at school.
"Auntie, I'm fine. You don't have to worry, I won't tell anyone about today's events. ”
Although Li Linxi has lived less time in this world than Pang's mother, Li Linxi still knows her worries from Pang's mother's tone and eyes.
got the answer she wanted, and Pang's mother breathed a sigh of relief. But she didn't know that it was her action that once again succeeded in arousing Pang Luozhi's anger.
"What do you mean? What about what do you tell others? Do you really think that if your family is rich and powerful, I will be afraid of you? Do you really think our family is a bully?"
Li Linxi originally thought that he could spend the rest of the day peacefully after leaving school, but he didn't expect that the things he encountered would be more difficult than one another.
originally thought that after calming Pang's mother's emotions, she could slip away quietly, but at this time, Pang Luozhi's questioning voice once again pulled her back to the cruel reality.
"I didn't, I never felt like I was great, and I never felt different because of my parents."
There was no way to get out, so Li Linxi had to continue to explain weakly.
"None? Do you really think that you don't look down on people, or do you want to say that in your eyes, we are not worthy of the word "people" at all? ”
Obviously, Li Linxi's explanation did not have any effect, and Pang Luozhi has always been unrelenting. The tone of his speech became more and more ruthless every time, and the words used became sharper.
But fortunately, Pang Luozhi has not yet had the habit of doing it, otherwise Li Linxi would have had even more headaches at this time.
"Luo Zhi, what are you doing? It's all classmates who get along well, and if you do this again, Miss Su should be angry. ”
Watching Pang Luozhi lose control repeatedly, Pang's mother's tone also changed from kindness at the beginning to stern.
Although she has been educating Pang Luozhi verbally, Pang's mother is becoming more and more painful at this time.
Just before today, his daughter had always been good and obedient. Although I sometimes quarrel with her because of some trivial things, I have never been out of control like this time.
Looking at Pang Luozhi's whole state at this time, Pang's mother didn't dare to think deeply about what her daughter in the palm of her hand had experienced, and how many bad things she had, because of this person who she thought was very good, and who she thought was sympathetic to her own family.
Thinking of this, Pang's mother's already cold attitude towards Li Linxi became even worse.
At this time, Li Linxi also felt deeply uneasy because of "Miss Su" again and again.
Because of Pang's mother's attitude, Pang Luozhi was somewhat aware of her gaffe and stopped her loss of control. Stood to the side dumbfounded, not saying a word.
Seeing Pang Luozhi's compromise, Pang's mother breathed a sigh of relief. looked at Li Linxi, who was still stunned at this time, and his cold eyes pierced straight into Li Linxi's heart, making Li Linxi's heart ache.
"Miss Su, you better go back first, and we will slowly solve the matter in our own family."
"But, I ......"
"Miss Su, if you want to stay here, then let's leave?"
Li Linxi originally thought that it would be a big deal to break the kettle and explain it. Unexpectedly, before she could speak, Pang's mother had already interrupted her with her "polite" words.
"No, no. Auntie, you don't have to bother, I'll go. ”
The attitude of Pang Luozhi's mother and daughter was so resolute that Li Linxi didn't dare to say anything more, so she had to leave at the request of Pang's mother.
Walking slowly and leisurely on this endless avenue, Li Linxi suddenly felt that this place was not as terrifying as before, at least there was still a little bit of vitality here.
It's not like her, but the body is still breathing on its own.
The somewhat muddy river on the side of the avenue is still making a gurgling sound, happily flowing towards the river and the sea.
The leaves in the green belt play cheerful music with the gust of breeze.
Although he had experienced some unfriendly things, Li Linxi still heard the intimate whispers between Pang Luozhi's mother and daughter.
Everything here seems to be so joyful, as if Li Linxi is the only one walking like a corpse on this avenue full of pleasure.
