(forty-seven)

The fan in the classroom whirred like a nagging old man, making a hoarse sound. The summer cicadas outside the window, in the bursts of heat waves, sing monotonous songs, quiet for a while, and noisy for a while, like the undulating tide on the seaside. Liu Zhixi sat quietly in the classroom, the tip of the pen on the white exam paper, making a "rustling" sound briskly and smoothly, writing hard and handy.

In her headphones, a sweet female voice and a deep male voice came out, speaking authentic English quickly, Liu Zhixi was like an agile rabbit, and quickly grasped the core point. After completing all the questions, Liu Zhixi was in a very comfortable mood, and she felt that this was the most relaxed moment for her after experiencing so many things in the past six months. She looked up at the clock, checked her answer, and then her mind wandered, she thought that she must drag Luo Tang to the Qing Bar for a drink tonight.

When the bell rang at the end of the sixth-grade exam, Liu Zhixi didn't have the slightest sense of panic from others, but she couldn't wait, handed in the neatly handwritten, clean and clear answer sheet, and then went to the item storage area and got back her schoolbag and mobile phone. "Xiao Tang, liberated, I must leave your handsome guy Liu Yulin at night, let's go to Qing together", the text message was sent, but there was no reply.

Liu Zhixi walked out of the teaching building, the sun was still hot, and there was a slight pain on the skin. She hurried back to her dormitory, closed the windows, turned on the air conditioner, and waited for Luo Ju to return. The comfortable air-conditioning in the room made her drowsy, and she couldn't help but lie on the table, before falling asleep, in her dreams, the suffocating feeling invaded her mind again.

She dreamed of Leng Jiang again, his eyes were still as cold as moonlight, but she was so attached to that look, so obsessed, so reluctant, as if all the other planets had lost their luster in her heart.

When she woke up, she found that she was already sweating under the cool air conditioner, she looked at her watch, it was already seven o'clock, but Luo Tang still didn't come back. She estimated that this girl didn't know where she was going, so she had to sigh and open the WeChat group casually.

"Luo Tangerine cheated at level 6 and was caught!" A few eye-catching words jumped into Liu Zhixi's eyes. "yes, she could be punished very badly, because the school takes that aspect very seriously." "Will she be expelled from school?" "It's possible, she didn't look like a good girl in the first place, just relying on herself to have a boyfriend with a lot of money!"

In the WeChat group, it is like boiling hot water, from the inside out, bubbling with hot gas, and at this moment, the good people seem to feel that the temperature is not enough, and they are still desperately adding firewood.

Liu Zhixi hurriedly called Luo Tang, first with a busy tone, and then hung up. She was as anxious as a rainstorm in June, and the clouds drifted on her brow, and she contacted Liu Yulin again, but no one answered. In an instant, she seemed to settle down a little again, Liu Yulin and Luo Tang didn't answer the phone, maybe they were together, with Liu Yulin's company, Luo Tang should not have a big deal, she comforted herself silently in her heart.

When I came out of the I SHOW, it was already 10:30 at night, and the "old man" asked Liu Zhixi with concern if she needed to send her back to the dormitory, and she smiled and declined his kindness. She took the elevator to Jiang Xiaohan's milk tea shop, but the door was locked. She wondered a little that he had been out of business for several days, and there had been no news of him for the past few days.

Liu Zhixi couldn't help but feel worried, lest it was the big men who had found trouble with Jiang Xiaohan last time. But she also knew that Jiang Xiaohan was by no means a timid person. She silently walked out of the mall, and even though it was late at night, the city was still brightly lit and full of life and vitality.

"Wanchen", Wenli's voice called her, "Do you have time to talk to your mother?" Liu Zhixi saw that Wen Li was wearing heavy makeup, sitting in a luxurious Mercedes-Benz trot, she was so beautiful in the night, but like a man-eating flower. I'm not available", Liu Zhixi pulled her feet and left, her tone polite and distant.

Wen Li sighed, Liu Zhixi suddenly realized that she was old, like a flower about to wither, pulling the sleeve of the autumn wind, begging the ruthless cold wind to make her fragrant, not to lose so early. Liu Zhixi's heart suddenly swelled up, making her herself very surprised and indescribably sad.

"Wanchen, mom is sorry for you, but mom gave you life and superior living conditions. Look at these, can you give your mother a chance, and also give Lei Yu a chance, let him get close to you, take care of you, and love you. In this way, it can be regarded as a knot in my mother's heart! You're not too young, it's time to find someone to accompany your joys and sorrows! Wenli's eyes were filled with tears, but Liu Zhixi felt that this light was so fake and contrived under the bright moonlight.

Liu Zhixi stopped, looked at Wenli in a daze, and showed a bright smile, Wenli looked at her, and suddenly felt a little stunned, not understanding her intentions. Liu Zhixi took out a brown paper belt from the backpack on her back, then held it with both hands and respectfully handed it to Wenli.

Wen Li hesitantly opened the paper bag, which contained a photo of Lei Yu, he hooked up with the escort girl in the nightclub, he hugged and kissed the female member in the club, and there were unsightly photos, the male protagonists on it were all Lei Yu. Wenli opened them one by one, her face became a little pale, and suddenly she laughed again, tore up the photos one by one, and threw them on the ground. The night wind ruffled Liu Zhixi's long hair, and also blew the fragments into the invisible distance and abyss.

"Liu Zhixi, Dad is sick, are you free, go to the hospital with me and see him?" Xin Chenxi's message came, and Liu Zhixi was washing up in the dormitory. Luo Cheng has not come back for a few days, Liu Zhixi stepped on the iron shoes, and no trace of her was found, but fortunately, yesterday evening, Luo Cheng left a message to Liu Zhixi, telling her that everything was fine and not worried.

"Okay." Liu Zhixi did not hesitate at all and replied to Xin Chenxi. Although the last unhappy conversation made her heart have a slight crack, it is these gaps that give the bright sun a chance to shine into the dark night sky. Xin Chenxi bought a new car, which was bright yellow, and he drove the car downstairs to the bedroom, waiting for Liu Zhixi. Liu Zhixi walked down the stairs with the milk and nutritional products prepared in advance, and from a distance, she saw Xin Chenxi. When she got closer, she felt a little embarrassed and restrained, and she didn't know whether to greet him or not.

"Hey!" Xin Chenxi first showed a long-lost smile, and she also nodded with a smile. "Brother, well, Xin, Senior Xin!" Her panic was seen by Xin Chenxi, he didn't speak, but the expression on his face was kind, and he took the thing in her hand. "Wan Chen!" Xin Chenxi's beautiful bass is like a drop of cool dew in summer, falling on the tip of Liu Zhixi's heart.

This is the third one, the one who called her Wanchen. The first person to call her Wanchen gave her heart; The second person who called her that way made her happy and sad. And at this moment, Xin Chenxi called her like this, she felt so happy, just like using the joy and sadness that her father brought her, minus Wenli's harm to her, only full of happiness remained, so that when she thought of it, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

"Brother", sitting in the passenger seat, Liu Zhixi looked at Xin Chenxi's expression tentatively, and had no objection. "Brother, Dad, is he okay?" Liu Zhixi mustered up the courage to ask. In his eyes, a gloomy cloud floated through, but his tone was still gentle, "You can take a look, and you'll know." Dad, I miss you very much and often mention you. ”

An hour and a half of driving, whether it is long or short, Liu Zhixi and Xin Chenxi chatted for a while, and then fell asleep. Xin Chenxi used the car stereo to play Lin Junjie's old songs, and Liu Zhixi buried her face in the pillow, but tears flowed out wantonly. She didn't dare to look up, nor did she dare to look at Xin Chenxi, she didn't like to cry in front of her.

The car stopped in the hospital parking lot, and Xin Chenxi and Liu Zhixi circled around according to the signs in the cold underground parking lot. Liu Zhixi has always had an inexplicable fear of the hospital, her heart was uneasy, she subconsciously stretched out her hand to pull Xin Chenxi, and Xin Chenxi had already held her shoulder with concern.

"Daddy!" Walking to the intensive care ward, seeing Xin's father's withered description and haggard face, Liu Zhixi's tears suddenly couldn't be suppressed and flowed down in a row. Father Xin saw his longing daughter, and his dead eyes were shining with joy. He trembled his hands and stretched out to Liu Zhixi. Liu Zhixi hurriedly walked to his side and held his rough big hand.

Father Xin's hand gently caressed Liu Zhixi's face, and he used all his strength to say with care, "Child, it's great that you're here." Then, his head turned to Xin Chenxi, who understood what he meant and took Liu Zhixi's hand. The hands of the three of them are tightly clasped together, there is an inseparable blood relationship in their bodies, and there is an indelible true love in their hearts.

"Dad, don't worry, I will take care of my sister. Over the years, she has suffered. Xin Chenxi agreed softly, but her tone was firm, Liu Zhixi looked at the tall and burly brother beside her, and her heart was overflowing with the warmth of happiness. When she was alone, she had fantasized so many times that she would be cherished, that she would be regarded as a relative, that she had longed so much for a loving and complete home, and now that she had finally looked forward to this day, she felt that it was a gift and favor from God.

"Patient's family, please sign the operation sheet." The nurse's emotionless voice sounded on the side, Xin Chenxi glanced at his father, and his father's eyes acquiesced, and he happily signed his name.

Out of the ward, Liu Zhixi asked worriedly, "Brother, Dad, he's fine, right?" Xin Chenxi closed his eyes slightly, and Liu Zhixi couldn't see his expression. Wanchen, we have no regrets, you say, right? Liu Zhixi nodded slightly, he smiled, but there were tears in his eyes, "Since there are no regrets, then, let it be." Now, for us, perhaps resigning ourselves to fate is the best fate. ”
