Boiling point

"Has your father still not contacted you?"

The police asked the fourth time tirelessly, Li Yanqi still kept standing by the window, his face remained motionless, and repeated, "No."

There was no anger, no panic in the voice, it was very calm.

Many students who slipped out to watch the excitement crowded around the classroom, blocking the front and rear doors and windows of Class [-] and [-] of Senior High.

Li Yanqi glanced at them, lowered his head, put his hands behind his back, squeezed them hard, and then let go.

The policeman looked at him and sighed, "It's been so many years, hasn't it happened once?"

Li Yanqi still said the same thing, "No."

A younger policeman came up from behind, pulled his police cap a little higher, and said in a deep voice, "Your father was considered an accomplice back then. I know you have concerns. I'm afraid we will catch him if we get clues. I am very sorry." I understand your feelings, but this time, I hope you can cooperate, if your father can provide evidence of his presence, it will be very beneficial to Fei Yuan's case, maybe both of them can be given a lighter punishment."

Li Yanqi interrupted him, "You are wrong."

The policeman looked up at him.

"First, I am not afraid that you will catch him. He has nothing to do with me. He is the same as dead or alive. Second, if I say no, there is no. Don't drag me into this muddy water, okay? Third, please don't Go to the hospital to harass my younger brother, he is only seven years old, he will be scared."

Li Yanqi's voice was neither humble nor overbearing, and even a little intimidating. Seeing his attitude, another policeman pointed to him and said, "Brother Xu and we came here with good intentions to find you, and we want to give you the last Buy some time, can you stop talking like this? Looking at the whole Nanxi, who else will take care of this mess? We, Brother Xu, will bear the burden of hard work..."

The policeman named Brother Xu smiled and interrupted him with a wave.

Li Yanqi turned around without changing his expression, lowered his head and packed his schoolbag, completely putting the two of them aside.

There was a stalemate here without any progress, and there was a sudden commotion outside the door.

Li Yanqi was taken aback by the high-pitched "Get out".

He Xin was standing at the door of the classroom and chased people away with a murderous look on his face, "You don't have to go to class, right? You block people at the door of the classroom to look at the flowers or pose, and you still think you're handsome? Have you paid? You—— He pointed to a boy whose head was about to get stuck in the window and said, "Want to go in? Would you like me to help you?" He raised his foot and was about to kick him.

The man yelled, and when he got out, he used too much force, his ears were red. He Xin was holding his pockets, squinting his eyes to look at people, looking very arrogant. Willi, you pushed me and I pushed you and ran away.

Soon there were only a few of them left in the classroom.

He Xin regained his indifferent expression, bypassed the policemen standing in the center, and went straight back to his seat.

Li Yanqi watched him take out books one by one from the desk and "slap" them on the table, making a deafening sound.

It's obviously for the police to see, and it's really awesome to drive people to their heads.

A policeman coughed a few times, "What are you shooting? It's all dust!"

Without raising her head, He Xin said, "I'm sorry, my drawer is too dirty, I have to clean it up." Then he slammed the book on the table, raised his eyelids and looked at them.

After a minute of silence, Brother Xu walked a few steps towards Li Yanqi, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You know my phone number, come to me when you figure it out, I'll wait for you."

Li Yanqi didn't speak, and hid sideways for a while, Brother Xu left, he lowered his head and exhaled, took a few steps back and sat on the chair.

After a long time, He Xin poked him on the arm from behind, "Clean freak, you go down, the dust is all on your pants."

Li Yanqi still didn't make a sound, and it took a long time to stand up and dust off his pants. He seemed to be still in a daze, and He Xin didn't even notice that he had smoked two cigarettes.

He Xin looked at his side face in the sunshine, and pursed his lips with a cigarette in his mouth. Li Yanqi stood motionless like a sculpture, showing a struggling and lost expression. There were many things that he couldn't understand hidden in his dark eyes. His mood didn't look like his.

After standing at a loss for a few minutes, Li Yanqi suddenly turned around and asked, "Is my butt dirty?"

He Xin couldn't keep up with his rhythm, so she was stunned for a moment before saying, "It's okay, it's just a lump, like it's been stained with shit."

Li Yanqi twisted his waist and pulled up his trousers, took a look, and rubbed the dirty place vigorously.

There were still 10 minutes before the end of get out of class, He Xin was waiting for him to say something, but Li Yanqi sat down to read a book calmly after wiping his pants, as if the lack of focus just now was entirely his illusion.

He Xin still had the last cigarette in his pocket. His voice was a little hoarse, so he decided to give up for now. He took out the only egg roll and passed it to his mouth. The sun was shining on his body and it was very hot. He was a little tired, but he was still in good spirits.

He remembered what he heard downstairs, and what the police said to Li Yanqi.

Strenuous father and Li Yanqi's father killed Jiang Zhiming's brother?

Incredible.

So this is why Jiang Zhiming has been bullying and struggling?

Did he take the lead in bullying Li Yanqi before?

What did Jiang Zhiming's brother do to be killed by them?Was it manslaughter or deliberate?

He Xin doesn't like to meddle in other people's family affairs. Everyone has secrets that they don't want others to see. Those unspeakable things are all buried in dusty corners, and they don't want people to see or touch them. People who are close can't cross the line, and He Xin also has them. Besides, he and Li Yanqi are friends at most, and they are friends who will get angry if they don't agree with each other. There is no need to touch his minefield.

Even if he is a little curious now.

After clearing away the heavy fog, what was this person's past like?

"He Xin." Li Yanqi tore off a piece of draft paper, turned around and threw it into the trash can behind him, the two of them stared at each other for a while, and He Xin was the first to ask, "Anything to say?"

Li Yanqi looked at him, "Thank you just now."

He Xin waved her hands indifferently.

Li Yanqi sighed, "This matter is very complicated, I don't want to take care of it anymore, no matter what the outcome is, I don't want to take care of it anymore." After a pause, he continued, "So, can you pretend that you didn't watch anything? arrive?"

He Xin stood there and smiled silently, but the smile didn't reach her eyes, "If you don't mention it, I might forget about it tomorrow."

Li Yanqi said, "Thank you."

He Xin clicked his tongue, "Thank you with a lemon egg roll, no verbal thanks."

Li Yanqi thought for a while and asked, "I can also make strawberry egg rolls, do you want it?"

He Xin picked up her schoolbag and walked towards the back door stepping on the sound of the get out of class bell, and looked back at him, "Strawberry egg rolls are too girly, please decline."

After Lemon Jingben Jing left, Li Yanqi swept the floor with a broom, and people came to the classroom one after another. Almost all the students in the class had heard about the incident just now, and they looked at him with curiosity There is also a lot of concern, or a low smile that means something.

Liao Mei ran to his place and put her schoolbag away, "I met He Xin on the road just now, what's the matter? He has a very bad temper, he told me to go away when he saw me."

Li Yanqi said, "Because you are not handsome enough."

Liao Mei howled twice, "Brother Ta, I feel that he is angry, what, did you offend him?"

Li Yanqi stopped what he was doing, with a serious expression on his face.

He Xin would be angry, but he actually understands it well. She kindly helped him just now, and didn't take the initiative to explore his privacy. As a result, he came up and said, "Don't worry about it, don't ask, don't meddle, forget it", anyone would I'm a little upset.

What's more, with He Xin's violent temper, he was lucky that he didn't get beaten just now.

Liao Mei chattered alone for a while, and suddenly had a whim and said, "Brother Ta, did He Xin's temper be transformed by his parents leaving us here? Can it be reformed?"

"Watch less TV and read more." Li Yanqi hit him with a book, "I went to the hospital, this is today's homework, for your reference, don't copy everything."

Liao Mei made a gesture of heart to him, and said with a smile, "Brother Ta, you are really my savior in this life!"

Li Yanqi ignored him, and Liao Mei continued, "So good people are rewarded, and this matter will pass safely. My god operator made an oath again. If I can't make it through, I won't be able to date Xue Wen."

Xue Wen, who was passing by to distribute English test papers, gave him a white look, "Sister Liao, please, can you let me go?"

Everyone on the side laughed, Liao Mei blushed and laughed too.

Standing aside, Li Yanqi made eye contact with Li Jin who had just entered the classroom. The latter quickly lowered his head and walked to his seat with a stack of study materials in his arms.

The next few days were the first monthly exams of this semester. Li Yanqi and He Xin were assigned to different exam rooms, and they didn't see each other once a day. After school, Li Yanqi had to work, and He Xin went to play wild on the basketball court. , they parted ways completely, and Uncle Zhao hasn't come back yet, so they won't get together for dinner at the farm.

He Xin received Li Yanqi's lemon egg rolls for several days and stuffed them in his desk. The box was a candy box in the farm. Because they hadn't met each other during the three-day exam, the box was not recycled after He Xin finished eating it. Finally on the fourth day, he saw a line of big characters suddenly written on the box containing the egg rolls in his drawer: exquisite pig feed.

He Xin spat out the egg roll and kicked Li Yanqi's chair.

"Fuck, you serve me egg rolls out of pig feed boxes? Are you sick?"

Li Yanqi took out a cup of soy milk from the desk, "I'll give you a cup to rinse your mouth."

He Xin glared at him, took a sip in frustration, then wiped her mouth, her eyes still staring.

Li Yanqi smiled, "I've washed this box twenty times, and soaked it in lemon-flavored dish soap for 5 minutes. It doesn't smell like pig feed at all."

"Are you not eating?" He Xin kicked him on the stool leg again.

"Actually, the taste hasn't changed at all. I made more today..."

He Xin threw the things on his desk and said coldly, "Redo it."

"Five volumes." After Li Yanqi finished adding, he lifted the lid and smelled it, and stuffed one into his mouth fearlessly.

After chewing and swallowing, he turned his head to look at He Xin. He Xin looked away and lay still on the table.

"Did you not sleep well these two days?" Li Yanqi asked, staring at his dark circles.

"I reviewed too late." He Xin ran the train with his mouth full, "Do the exercises all night."

"Wow, you are awesome."

Before Li Yanqi could laugh, he coughed uncontrollably.

"Fuck off, stay away from me, your mouth stinks after eating pig feed."

He Xin was in a bad mood, so Li Yanqi stopped rushing to find him. He turned around and took a sip of water, then opened the book with his head bowed.

Wang Meiren criticized the test scores of their class this morning.

The average score was the worst in the whole school, and when He Xin interfered, he was so thorough that he couldn't even save Li Yanqi's full score in double subjects.

"After playing for a summer vacation, everyone is not thinking about studying, right? Is it because I am too good to you, or are you drifting away? Take a look, one by one, basically all of them have regressed from last year! Don't say anything. Adapt to the rhythm of the second year of high school, look at those students in other classes, how can they adapt so perfectly? Don’t laugh and laugh all day long, thinking that the third year of high school is as far away from you as the Milky Way in the sky. College entrance examination, everyone cry for me!"

Teacher Wang Lichun was so angry that she dropped her shawl. She walked around to the podium in high heels, patted the table and said, "Because the result of this exam is too disappointing, this afternoon's class meeting will be cancelled. Let's discuss it carefully." Let's talk about how to improve your grades next, monitor, if you are fine in the last class, stay and give guidance."

Li Yanqi nodded and said, "Mr. Wang, I'm leaving after half a class. I'm going to the hospital."

"Okay." Teacher Wang Lichun walked to the door with the lesson plan, then turned around and yelled at He Xin, "He Xin, if I see you walking to play golf in the afternoon class meeting, just wait for my home visit."

He Xin frowned impatiently, and stuffed her test paper, which was full of red crosses, into the desk.

All day long, the usually noisy class was quiet even between classes, and the whole process was shrouded in melancholy. Even Liao Mei, who has always been heartless, couldn't help but feel depressed, lying on Li Yanqi's seat I was about to cry, "I didn't fail the exam so badly, my grandma is going to die of anger."

After speaking, he looked at Li Yanqi unwillingly, "Brother Ta, you said that you saw Tian'er working outside, so how could you have time to read the writing questions? How could you still get double hundred points?"

Li Yanqi pointed to his own brain and spread his hands.

"Fuck, it's too much." Liao Mei muttered.

He Xin lay on the table and looked up at Li Yanqi's back, then sneered.

In fact, there is no genius. Li Yanqi is just a little smarter than others. He has suffered from insomnia in the past two days of exams. A clean white T, sit and write questions seriously, and write for hours.

This young man's self-esteem was a bit strong, He Xin looked down at his paper again.

Suddenly felt the essential gap between him and Li Yanqi.

He was trying to fly forward, and he would do anything to break his wings.
