CH 18

Li Xin didn't come so I can't be at ease, I was afraid that she had an accident.

So I quickly ran out of patience, and ran into the milk tea store. Sister Xia smiled again and asked me what I needed, I said: "Li Xin has not come?"

She could not help but smile bitterly: "I am not a slave owner, I have to give her a vacation, she has been quite tired lately."

So it was a vacation, a false alarm. I settled down, since she did not come I do not have to sneak around, with a big smile sister Xia said: "Thank you for taking care of her, really thank you."

She was a bit troubled: "You might think this is ...... strange, she works for me and I take care of her of course, and I also feel quite sorry for her, those people bullying her I can not do anything about it."

I said no need to blame yourself, it's okay. She turned and wondered, "It's strange, that bully suddenly changed her nature, and apologized and gave her something, I can't believe it."

I was a little proud of my heart, all because of the praise, but I did not claim credit, I changed the subject to ask about what I was wondering about before.

"Sister Xia, Li Xin has been working with you for so long, so she should have money, right? How come she can't even afford to buy clothes."

Sister Xia was also surprised: "I'm not sure, she may want to save more money, anyway, she is simple, and doesn't have a need to spend money."

Even Sister Xia does not know, it seems that is Li Xin's secret. I sighed slightly in my heart, Sister Xia suddenly had a strange smile: "Little guy, if you are free today I will tell you something, please listen carefully oh."

I looked at her curiously, she even showed a few gloating smiles: "Yesterday Cai Yu was at the school entrance and gave Li Xin flowers, many people saw it, it was spectacular ah, you need to step up your game."

I was shocked when I saw the yellow-haired man, he went to the entrance of the school to give her flowers?

My heart immediately acted up, and I do not know what my mentality is. But I hate this kind of behavior, Li Xin is just a junior high school student, and his stalking has gone too far, but to also to send flowers to cause a fuss?

I said he should not do that, the impression is not good. Sister Xia is a cheerful person, and said: "This is the difference between you and him, he is bold and thick-skinned, and is able to catch the heart of a girl. You are too timid, you just have a crush."

I don't think that's the problem, I really think the influence is bad. But I didn't say anything more, cowardly would always be cowardly.

We talked for a while and became quite familiar with each other. After that I said goodbye and said I would come back tomorrow, and Sister Xia nodded with a smile on her face.

The time was late, and I went to the entrance of the Takasu Middle School and wandered for a while, thinking that I could see Li Xin, but she did not appear, I was delusional.

I had to leave, put aside the thought half-way for a while, I sighed and went to the hotel.

I went in to see, Qin Lan was sleeping like a dead pig, she was also exhausted.

I only cared about her a little bit, being here with her is impossible, I'll come back to see if she has done something kind.

I put away the money I had, and went back to school.

Today is a rare day of relaxation, I naturally seize the time to finish my homework. So I went back to the classroom, unexpectedly the classroom was noisy, Zhang Xiong and several roommates were laughing and joking loudly, and his eyes still linger on the front row, to Lin Yin Yin.

This guy probably wanted to attract Lin YinYin's attention, but Lin Yin Yin simply ignored him and studied with her headphones on.

I couldn't help but laugh, Zhang Xiong's IQ was a bit low. I went over and whispered: "What are you doing? Don't you see she is wearing headphones ah, she is annoyed, hurry up and quiet down."

Zhang Xiong immediately understood, and asked everyone to stop talking. I also took out homework to do, he poked me very depressed: "Lin Yin Yin is very cold to me, am I really that bad?"

I said she probably doesn't like your type, don't get discouraged.

Zhang Xiong was not convinced, and poked me: "You go invite her to sing, K, I want to show her my singing voice to conquer her."

I wanted to say that I was not available, but then I thought that I was free today, right? And I'm short on money.

I laughed: "Pay first, twenty dollars for inviting her, and then you give me fifty when she agrees." (TN: 20 yuan is about 3 USD, 50 yuan is about 7 USD.)

Zhang Xiong is used to my blackmailing, cursed me and took out twenty dollars for me.

I then went to Lin Yin Yin and got next to her, she surprisingly did not notice me, she was very focused.

I coughed, she looked at me suspiciously pulling down her headphones: "What?"

I said, aren't you tired of studying all day? Don't you want to go out? She said where to play, I said karaoke. She was surprised: "You know how to sing?" (TN: Wow haha.)

What kind of tone is that? She looked down on me? But I actually don't know how to sing, the countryside places do not even have KTV to sing karaoke ah. (TN: KTV are those places where karaokes are hosted.)

I said to find a few people to take with you to have fun, and you don't really have to sing.

She hesitated and put away her book, "Well then, I'll call Arlene and the girls."

I laughed at the idea that Zhang Xiong would not be able to succeed.

The matter was settled, and I said I would also call some friends, for things to be more lively. Lin Yin Yin did not refuse.

I went to tell Zhang Xiong that it was done, and he was immediately surprised, I asked for my payment, he gave the money very generously, and then muttered: "Damn, how come she accepted your invitation? So quickly too."

I rolled my eyes: "You made her sick, she only agreed to come, later you should sing to conquer her."

Zhang Xiong snapped his fingers: "Let's go!"

He took a few of his roommates to greet Lin Yin Yin and the girls with determination. Lin YinYin seemed a little reluctant, but looked at me twice and didn't say anything.

The group left the school, almost ten people. Lin Yin Yin is the main backbone of the girls, she walked leisurely, Arlene and the girls were all gathered around her.

Zhang Xiong is the backbone for the boys, with a few of them conversing.

As a result, I found that I was lonely, it was not good to go anywhere, but to hang back and watch them talk.

But it does not matter, I don't mind being a ghost.

Not much time passed until a KTV was chosen, and the group of people were all very happy. This is the first time I came to this kind of place, I think it is quite interesting, but I can not sing.

Zhang Xiong, that boy has started singing, I have to say that he sang well, presumably with effort, the girls said he sang well.

I watched alone, they will play, and I will eat, I can’t waste all this food.

Later, Lin Yin Yin also sang, I was focused on eating, and her singing voice suddenly reached me, I stayed there stunned, everyone was quiet.

She sang that song I have heard, but I do not know its name. I don't eat anything, I just listen to her singing, everyone listened, everyone is in awe.

After the song ended, the crowd applauded. Zhang Xiong offered: " You sounded really beautiful, class president, let's sing."

Lin Yin Yin shook her head: "No, I'm a little tired."

Zhang Xiong improvised: "Okay then, I'll take you back?"

This kid Zhang Xiong completely disregarded us, he was just about to drop us so easily, everyone, naturally had no reason to stay any longer.

But Lin Yin Yin smiled and warmly said: "Why go back so soon? You guys continue, I'm going out to get some fresh air."

She got up and went out, and everyone thought she was going to the toilet and I didn't care. I started to eat again, but she passed by me and suddenly coldly grunted, I heard a faint sound, but she certainly grunted.

I just looked up at her, she stared at me, and walked out.

What's going on? Was she hinting that I should go out too? I ate some more and told the person next to me that I was going to the bathroom too. I found that no one was paying attention to me, so I huffed and puffed and went out.

Once I went out, I saw Lin Yin Yin standing in the aisle waiting for me, her face was dark.

I said, "What's wrong with you? She was furious: "Did Zhang Xiong tell you to do this? I knew something was odd."

I said what do you mean? She was quite angry: "You invited me to sing karaoke, but it turned out that Zhang Xiong was playing tricks on me, you did not even sing at all, you make me very angry."

I'm a little embarrassed, but it shouldn't be a big deal. I said I have no atmosphere ah, and didn't have a chance to sing, Zhang Xiong has a very active atmosphere, you do not have to be angry.

"You know I don't like him and you still do this, if I didn't want to upset everyone I would have left immediately, I hate those kinds of boys."

It has come to a point where I cannot dig myself out, I apologized repeatedly, she eased her face, but was still a little angry: "Next time you do this, I will really cut off my friendship with you, I swear."

I gave in with a bitter smile, and she grunted again: "What are you doing on weekends? You don't go to the Internet cafes, do you, you just stay in your dorm?"

I said I was looking for my sister, so I didn't have time to study over the weekend. She pondered for a moment and then said, "Qin Lan did not bully you, right? Her parents should be divorced in a couple of days."

I said I wasn't bullied, so don't worry. She was relieved, then looked at me, squinting: "Why don't you sing? You're so timid."

I said I couldn't do it at all, it would shatter peoples' eardrums. She laughed and then ordered with great poise: "Next week we will come alone and I will teach you."

I was horrified and said what are you going to do? She wanted to hit me: "Are you still afraid that I will eat you?"

It's not a matter of being afraid, there's no reason for this to happen. I said you are too sudden, we do not know each other very well. She sighed: "Do you know why I come to school all the time? There is no one at home, my parents are working all day, I'm bored to death. I'm bored with studying all the time, so you keep me company."

I said you can ask Arlene, she got angry: "Why are you so difficult? I just want you to accompany me to relieve my boredom, do you have a problem?"

This loli has the temper of a tiger, and loves to hate, it seems that she has some good image of me, I agreed, but my cheap mouth asked for something: "Will I get paid?”

She sent a kick over, I hurriedly said she didn't need to pay.

After some fuss, we went back to the party, and I don't know how long the party was, and then it finally ended. A bunch of people went back separately, and Zhang Xiong was particularly happy, because he pestered Lin Yin Yin to sing a song.

On the way to the dorm, he patted me on the shoulder: "Next week you invite her again, the you will receive the same payment."

My heart was weak, this is not good. I said no, you'd better pick her up yourself, I really don't have that much time to accompany you to pick up girls.

He was angry: "I gave you money, didn't I? What the hell could you be doing going out all day? Just come with me."

I didn't want to tell anyone about my sister, I just said I really had something to do, he lost face and left in a huff with the others.

As a result, he didn't give a damn about me all day, I was bored thinking about things, and so on the next day went by fast.

I still care more about Li Xin than the conflict with Zhang Xiong. Today, Li Xin should be at work.

When I arrived, Li Xin had not yet come, I rushed to chat with Xia, but she was full of worry: "Cai Yu really hurt Li Xin, last night Li Xin came over and told me that she was approached by the teacher, the homeroom teacher also asked her to call her parents, she is now in deep trouble."

My heart was stunned, said what happened? Sister Xia a little depressed: "Didn't I say that Cai Yu giving flowers to Li Xin caused a commotion? Consequently, the school authorities know, the whole weekend they were trying to catch her, and now she doesn't know what to do."

Shit, I knew this would happen! I cursed the yellow-haired man in my heart, you fucking crazy ah!

I hurried to go to the school, but the yellow-haired man who drove a motorcycle rushed inside: "Sister Xia, Li Xin is in an accident?"

Sister Xia told him, he was so angry that he cursed: "Those motherfucking teachers, damn it, I'll find someone to kill them!"

This idiot still has the audacity to swear? I cursed myself, but he heard me: "What did you say? Who are you?"

Sister Xia said, stop it, it's a friend. I did not have good looks, perhaps deep down I was jealous and disgusted with him, and I walked away, leaving him behind to curse me.

I went out and ran to the school, at that moment I was anxious to know the situation of Li Xin. The teacher told her to call her parents, so did my parents come over? My parents would have beaten her to death.

I clenched my fist, a scene from three years ago flashed through my mind, if my parents would beat my sister, I ......
