The final exam for the first year of high school is scheduled for July 25, which is the hottest time of the year. Days of heat enveloped the city, and the air was roasted and distorted. The asphalt on the road is like a reflector, and passers-by will step on their shoes all over if they are not careful.

In the first English class in the afternoon, the English teacher was busy copying the key points of the test, and the dense letters on the blackboard were erased and written over and over. The sweltering heat in the classroom is like a sauna, but I still can't resist the fact that there are always a few restless students who love to chat.

"Eh, do you believe that we can bake eggs on the surface of the playground now?"

"Are you talking about Tokyo fever?"

"Tokyo hot, hahahaha, people in the industry, brothers! They are all teammates who love to watch movies! ”

"You two hurry up and study, you're still worried about baking eggs, if you two don't do well in the exam this time, beware of your parents roasting you as eggs!"

"What are you afraid of! No matter how bad I am in the exam, there are Lin Xingxing and Cui Yueqi at the bottom! ”

"Not necessarily! I heard that Cui Yueqi has taken a leave of absence, if you study eggs for a few more days, I think you will be able to pass the test Lin Xingxing! ”

The silence in the classroom was eerily terrifying, except for the sound of pens brushing. Lin Xingxing copied the notes on the blackboard while inadvertently listening to the conversation just now. "Take a leave of absence?" Lin Xingxing's pulse beat a few times rapidly, and he copied a few lines of words incorrectly.

"Give."

Lin Xingxing took the eraser handed by Xu Ziang, turned his head sideways and smiled at him. The electric fan was buzzing in the classroom, and a few strands of Lin Xingxing's hair happened to slip from behind his ears, Xu Ziang raised his arm and subconsciously went to help Lin Xingxing pick up his hair, but he glanced at the English teacher who was writing the board book seriously on the podium, hesitated for a moment or withdrew his hand, and coughed a few times in embarrassment: "Cough, will you still go to make up for the class later?" ”

Lin Xingxing nodded: "Hmm." ”

Lin Xingxing's recent enthusiasm for learning has been very high, I don't know if it was stimulated by Xu Ziang's parents or some other reason, the whole person seems to have suddenly changed his sex. Listen carefully in class, no longer skip class and leave early, sign up for a lot of intensive training classes, and even the physical education class she has never been absent from has been changed by her to self-study in the class. Her state of learning made the group of people in front of her rank have a sense of crisis.

As soon as the bell rang for the evening self-study, Lin Xingxing woke up and went to cram school on time with a stack of books: "I'm leaving, everyone, goodbye!" ”

The squad leader Ma Liu secretly observed her for a few days, and felt that he had to talk to her, so he stopped her at the door of the class: "Wake up, what's wrong with you lately?" ”

"It's okay, what's wrong with me?"

"If you have something, just tell us, and we'll all help you solve it together. Your joys, sorrows, and sorrows have changed too quickly for a while, and last month it was like thunder, and this month it will be nephrite and fragrant, and we are all a little uncomfortable... We're all worried about you. ”

Hearing that Ma Liu was giving Lin Xingxing psychological counseling, Ouyang Yi hurriedly came over, tilted his head and looked at Lin Xingxing cautiously: "Yes, yes, Princess Lin, you are still angry, we still like your fierce appearance!" You are our princess of the forest! ”

Lin Xingxing looked at the two of them with a smile, his eyes still filled with starlight: "It's okay, I'm too late for class, I'll go first, see you tomorrow!" ”

Lin Xingxing has always liked such a shallow smile recently

The tone of speech was also unprecedented in politeness and softness. This mature appearance should be excellent, but for some reason everyone always feels sorry for her inexplicably. Her change was so quiet that there was not even a splash, but it made people feel uneasy.

Late at night, the sky is full of stars and the moon is rippling. There is no sultry and oppressive feeling in the air, and even the breeze carries the fragrance of plants. There were still three days before the exam, and Lin Paris was struggling with a sleepy face, lying on the desk carrying the knowledge points of the Nanchang Uprising.

"Liu Heye, Zhu Zhou... Leave lotus leaves to cook porridge. She was muttering to herself the mantra taught by Xing Houma's class today, while silently admiring in her heart that the level of the special teacher was really unusual.

Suddenly, the mobile phone in her schoolbag vibrate, the vibration sound was not loud or small, but it sounded like the poles of noise and silence in the empty room. Lin Paris turned around and took out her mobile phone in a daze, she thought it was Lin Xingxing, after all, if it wasn't for Lin Xingxing, she would have turned off her phone early in the morning.

But she didn't expect the content of this text message to be like thunder, which made her completely sober.

The sender is Chi Xin.

It's just five words: I'm back in City C.

For a moment, Lin Paris felt that she was still the rebellious little girl a year ago, occasionally getting into trouble with Lin Xingxing, and going home to be coquettish with her father, as if nothing had happened in this year.

Yes, the recent days have been too quiet and too rushed. Worrying about grades, homework, school, Lin Xingxing and Cui Yueqi every day, she is an ordinary high school student who can't be ordinary anymore. If it weren't for this text message from Chi Xin, she would almost have forgotten about those things related to Chu Xinping.

Lin Paris put down his pen and walked to the balcony silently. It's a good night, and if you squint, you can smell the mixed aroma of roses and roses. She remembered the year she first moved here, she was only fourteen years old, and the flowers in the garden were planted by Lin Xingxing with Zhou Mo, Cui Yueqi, and Song Shangyu. While listening to Jay Chou's new song "Nocturne", everyone played hard in the garden with mud, and then she was splashed with mud soup by Lin Xingxing, and several people were playing and playing in the mud mound.

Lin Paris couldn't help but smile when she thought of this, she walked downstairs softly and stole a box of cigarettes from Lin Hong's study. Three months ago, she did take the initiative to find Chi Xin, and she called Chi Xin once on the night she met Ying Fei, but Chi Xin was very busy that day, and hung up in a hurry before she could say a few words. Those secrets that she couldn't bear to reveal, Lin Paris told herself that it was God's spoiling of her.

She sat on the balcony and looked at the starry sky and smoked one cigarette after another, this was the first time she smoked, and she choked and coughed, but she still learned.

"But people can't be selfish after all, right?" Lin Paris chuckled and muttered to himself. With a love as deep as Chu Chuping's, she can't pretend to be irrelevant.

After a while, she took out her mobile phone and crackled and edited a text message, and received a reply from the other party a few minutes later: Okay, see you tomorrow.

No matter how powerful time is, it can't wash away the traces of the story

Even if you've had all your thoughts lost

But there are still all kinds of attachments to you in this world

When you can love, try to love, and leave the rest to fate.

At noon the next day, Chi Xin appeared at the door of Gaoyang High School on time. He leaned against his motorcycle in a white T-shirt and helmet in his hand, letting the sun hit him in the face. At that moment, Lin Paris felt a little trance-like, as if the world had been rendered in black and white, and standing in front of her was a teenager in the depths of her memory.

"Hi" Chi Xin waved his hand at her: "Can I not attend the afternoon class?" ”

Lin Paris didn't speak, just took the helmet in Chi Xin's hand, and jumped into the back seat of the motorcycle without saying a word.

Chi Xinwan smiled, and the two of them galloped away in the curious eyes of everyone.

It is worth mentioning that this picture completely frightened Lin Xingxing, and for a few minutes the gentle Lin Xingxing disappeared, she looked at the backs of the two people leaving, and the expression on her face was like eating a dead fly: "!" Is that Chuxinping? Could it be that the corpse is being cheated? ”

"How long has it been since you've been to see him?" Motorcycles sped down the roadway, skimming over the summer streetscape.

"It's been a long time." Lin Paris hugged Chi Xin's hand tightly: "However, I've seen Ying Fei." ”

"Squeak" A piercing brake sounded, allowing the idle speed of the wheels to rub against the ground, but Chi Xin still parked the motorcycle in the middle of the road: "You have a lot to ask me?" ”

Lin Paris nodded solemnly: "Let's find a place to talk!" ”

"Do you know about whale falls? If you were asked to give up your life for 100 lives, what would you choose? ”

Later, when Lin Paris mentioned Chuxinping, he said this.

The dilapidated abandoned factory opens the door to an indescribable smell. The windows around him had already been welded shut, and Chu Chuping had enough strength to kick open the only iron door. Even though the sun was shining outside, it was as dark as an abyss.

"Brother Ping, I found it!"

Chu Xinping closed his eyes and took a hard breath, he had only been with Lin Paris for a few days, and he didn't expect that the thing he didn't want to see still happened.

"Come, get a basin of cold water and splash people awake me!"

Fortunately, the temperature in November was not too cold, and after a while, Xiao Wu and Chi Xin came back with a bucket of water from outside.

"Hiss" A bucket of cold water fell on the man's body from top to bottom, and his originally tough expression instantly became a little hideous, and the feeling of severe pain made him gasp: "Damn, you guys or you'll kill me!" ”

Chu Xinping tilted his head and squatted down, smiling and pressing on the man's bleeding wound: "I only have one question, who made you do this?" ”

The man suddenly laughed, and the more he looked at Chu Xinping, the more he felt funny: "Boy, you can't even control your own people, what are you going to do to fight us?" When your boss Long Qi agreed to hand over the Splendid Place, he knew that the underground industry of the Splendid Exchange also had to be handed over together! You have sold your life for him for so many years, and does he still care if you live or die? Don't struggle boy, obediently, I can leave you a way to live! Otherwise......"

The man's eyes suddenly became sharp and fierce: "Otherwise... If you want someone to live, someone has to die. 2k reading network
