shadow ambush

"squeak--"

After waiting for almost an hour, the closed door in front of him finally opened quietly, and Meng Xi, who had sat in the room until anxious and worried, could stand up in the next second, his back straightened, his expression suddenly tense, and he turned inward nervously. Looking around.

It wasn't the old principal he thought was the first to step out the door, the obvious woman's back made Meng Xi's surprised expression freeze on his face.

"Then I will leave everything to you." The old principal's voice sounded by the door, distracting Meng Xi's attention.

The woman turned her back to Meng Xi and nodded gently, "Okay, everything is on me."

"Huh? Who is this classmate?" Fox suddenly noticed that besides Xiao Nana, there was another young boy waiting outside, and asked with a smile.

After being reminded by the old principal, the woman turned around and began to look at Meng Xi.

When the eyes met, Meng Xi only felt that at that moment all his thoughts were seen through by the woman, and then he smiled lightly and blinked his left eye lightly at him.Clear eyes, and a weather-beaten face, at a glance, he looks at least 30 years old, unsuitable but strangely blended in one person.The intimacy created by the collision made him willing to trust the other party at the first glance, and poured out the deepest secrets hidden in his heart to him.

"Student Meng Xi said he wanted to see you, so I asked him to wait here."

Xiao Nana's voice sounded in her ears, Meng Xi was startled suddenly, her relaxed mind suddenly tightened, she moved back half a step vigilantly, and stared at the woman in front of her with hostility.

The woman kept Meng Xi's series of extreme reactions in her eyes, turned around and said to the old principal: "Then I'll go first, principal." After speaking, facing Meng Xi's gaze, she left the principal's office with a smile.

The moment the figure left his field of vision, Meng Xi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, only then did he realize that his back was drenched in cold sweat.The uneasiness of being peeped and seen through before still lingers in my heart, and it can't go away for a long time.

"Student Meng Xi, come in." Hu Li waved to Meng Xi with a kind smile.

Meng Xi turned her head away, settled her mind, and walked towards the inner room of the principal's office.

Xiao Nana stood aside and watched Meng Xi walk in with her head held high. After the door fell, the smile on her face disappeared instantly, and she muttered dissatisfiedly: "Can high-quality students be special? This Why are there so many moths in this class..." In the beginning, there was a young master from the Bai family, and now this high-quality student came to the door before the class even started, what a strange thing.

"Dong dong." There was a soft knock on the door suddenly, Xiao Nana stopped mumbling and hurriedly turned her head to look for the source of the sound.I only saw the woman go and come back, smiling at her standing outside the door.

Xiao Nana stepped forward in doubt, and called out in doubt, "Teacher Yang!"

Yang Xiaoyu who had left earlier went back and forth, no, she never left at all.

The previous meeting with Meng Xi instantly changed her evaluation of Meng Xi in her heart.She is very clear about her abilities. People with rough thoughts will never pay special attention to her, while people with sensitive and delicate thoughts will involuntarily fall into her sight. Her eyes are well controlled, clear but not superficial. It is unbearably close.This is a trick she usually uses to simply distinguish people's personalities.But just now, Meng Xi was wary of Xiao Nana the moment she spoke.

There are many people who can do this.But most of them are the cunning and experienced old foxes in the Ministry. A child who has not stepped into the society can use his instinct to do this.It can only show that his mind is more delicate than ordinary people, and he is even so sensitive that any disturbance can alert him to vigilance.

It seems that there are still discrepancies in the evaluation of Meng Xi in the past. The uneasiness and inferiority in Meng Xi's heart are a bit more serious than she imagined.I hope that the old principal can seize the opportunity and solve this problem with one blow, once and for all.

……

inside the house.

"Come on, classmate Meng Xi, what's the matter?" Hu Li walked back to the office chair and sat down, raised his eyelids and looked directly at the extremely nervous Meng Xi, "It's all here, don't hold back, just tell me, don't worry mental burden."

Meng Xi took a deep breath, calmed down, and said calmly: "Principal, I want to transfer schools." After the words fell, Meng Xi stared closely at Hu Li, trying to get some emotions from Hu Li's face, but unfortunately Fox One was smiling the whole time, not even changing a bit.

The huge office fell into silence, and the quiet air began to brew tension, squeezing Meng Xi and depriving him of breathing space.He only felt that his lungs had no more free oxygen, and his whole body lost strength, unable to expand his chest to breathe.

He knew his request was unconventional and even disgusting, but he really wanted to give it a try.Clenching the fists hanging down by her sides, Meng Xi gritted her teeth to prevent herself from losing her momentum first.

"Where are you going?"

Hu Li finally made a sound, and Meng Xi's tense body once again oozes cold sweat, swallowing his throat, Meng Xi said softly: "Young University."

"Student Meng Xi, are you going to transfer to the Public University?"

"Yes."

Hu Li raised his head to look at Meng Xi's resolute expression, and sighed inwardly, just now Yang Xiaoyu asked him to find a chance to beat Meng Xi, only a few minutes passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was right, if it goes wrong, Yang Xiaoyu, you will be responsible to the end.

"Student Meng Xi, do you know what the cut-off score for OUHK is this year? It is more than 100 points higher than our school. It is easy to transfer from OUHK to our school, but there has never been such a precedent for transferring from our school to OUHK."

In anticipation of the refusal, Meng Xi gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice: "Principal, I can take the exam, any exam, as long as I can transfer to the OUHK, I can do anything, I just hope the school can help me with this. "He has been preparing for the whole summer vacation, and he is not afraid of any exam.

"Let's not talk about whether we can transfer to another school. The price of goods in Beijing is very different from that in our small city. Do you know that?"

"I know." He can live frugally, and his expenses can be kept to a minimum.

Hu Li smiled when he heard the words, put his arms on the armrest, stood up, walked slowly to the window and stood still, and said leisurely: "Meng Xi, if my old man's memory has not faded, you should have applied for tuition fee reduction and living allowance ,Right."

Hu Li's words hit the nail on the head, stabbing fiercely at Meng Xi's flesh and blood heart, his voice was heavy, Meng Xi admitted with difficulty: "Yes."

"Your situation, the school has conducted special research. Your grades are excellent. If it weren't for that brave act, you would not be standing here today. Instead, you should be in the capital, the public university, I said That's right." With his back to Meng Xi, Hu Li looked down at the empty playground outside the window, and said calmly.

"Yes." Meng Xi was completely unprepared that the old headmaster would know all about his situation, so he could only admit it.

"The reason why you chose our school was also analyzed by our school's admissions team. Your family's conditions are not good, and you can hardly afford four years of university tuition, and you want to devote yourself to the cause of public security. It stands to reason Let’s say, based on your score beyond the first line, there are at least a few other excellent police schools in Beijing and Guangdong that you can choose from. But after several considerations, you chose this police school in the southwest, why?”

"It's because...the prices in this small town are low, and the tuition fees are within the bottom line that can barely be paid. You are very smart, and you know that you are definitely the best in our school this year. Our scholarship policy will definitely be based on your In this situation, your tuition fees are exempted, and you are also provided with living allowances. However, have you ever thought that once you go to OUHK, there will be a concentration of top talents in the country, and you will not be considered the best? It will all be gone forever.”

The last fig leaf was lightly lifted by the old principal. Meng Xi stood there with a bloodless face, his head hanging down, staring at the ground for a long time without answering.

"You may be thinking, you can work part-time and study, you can go out to work, or even take a year off from school, and you can earn enough money no matter what." Through the reflection of the mirror, Fox saw Meng Xi's reaction in his eyes, and sighed secretly in his heart. He is a child with a backbone, but unfortunately, fate has played tricks on him.

"However, the reality is not so reasonable. Not to mention, there has never been a student who has proposed to transfer to OUHK on the first day of freshman enrollment, and the idea of ​​saying that you want to work is very naive. Closed Management, you need to ask for leave even to leave school, do you think you have the opportunity to go out to work?"

Meng Xi's fists were already bruised, and if possible, he really wanted to turn around and leave now, without wanting to hear a word.That was his most inferior thing, and he simply didn't want to face it.

"My child..." Hu Li turned around and watched Meng Xi's voice suddenly warm, "I know you are unwilling and think that you should not live in this small temple of ours. But child, life is In this way, it is often unreasonable, and it will puncture your dream when you want to be high-spirited the most. You are a man, and you can accept it when you fail. Isn’t there an old saying? 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi. Go delusional again The dreams I once had are meaningless. What you need now is to settle down and study hard. After four years, if your grades are still as good as now, the old man will personally write a letter of recommendation and send you to the OUHK for postgraduate study. Do you think this deal is a good deal?"

Every word Hu Li said fell on Meng Xi's trembling heart, yes!He is just unwilling, he just refuses to accept.In order to be admitted to the OUHK, he went to high school, and for three years, he never went to bed before twelve o'clock, and got up at five o'clock in the morning to study every day.

For three full years, there was never a single day without a break.For three full years.

Three years of hard work were ruined by an uneasy conscience on the eve of the college entrance examination. He hesitated again and again by the river and jumped into the river to rescue the two naughty children.

The price he paid was that he had a high fever and the college entrance examination completely collapsed.

How could he be willing, how could he be willing.

The eye sockets were reddened uncontrollably, and the nasal cavity was sore.Meng Xi opened his mouth to speak, but found that he had no voice at all, panting suppressedly, he wanted to suppress the churning emotions in his heart, but his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Hu Li stood in front of Meng Xi, and in the next second, hugged him into his arms.Press Meng Xi's head firmly into his shoulders, "Cry, child. Cry. Cry enough, like a man, like my Hu Li's student, go out dignifiedly, and use your own strength to tell others , even if you fall down once, you can stand up again. Four years later, we will speak with our strength!"

Buried in Hu Li's thick shoulders, Meng Xi's grievance that had been suppressed to the extreme was broken in an instant, and tears burst out of her eyes uncontrollably, slid down her face, and disappeared on the shoulders of the old principal.

Patting Meng Xi on the back to help him straighten out his breath.The previous conversation with Yang Xiaoyu came to the old headmaster's mind. He has been half buried in the loess, and his ability to see and know people for so many years is still not inferior to others.

But, today.He had no choice but to bow down to Yang Xiaoyu.

These harsh words were told by Yang Xiaoyu, not his original intention.However, the truth was right in front of his eyes. The child he was comforting found an outlet for his emotions that had been accumulated for many years in an instant, and he did not completely collapse as he had guessed.

Yang Xiaoyu really deserves to be the psychological genius in the ministry.Based on a short observation report and an analysis of Meng Xi's daily itinerary, it can be concluded that this excellent child is already on the edge of a cliff, and is only one step away from falling into the abyss.

"Principal, there is one more thing I have to ask you to do yourself."

"what's up?"

"About Meng Xi, this child is covered with a thick shell, which must be torn for him, otherwise he will be ruined."

"how to explain?"

"From our three-month follow-up analysis report, he has fallen into serious self-doubt, and he is close to collapse. He is questioning himself, whether it was a good deed that day, and it was a mistake from beginning to end. He couldn't live with his conscience at the time, but now he thinks that his life has been destroyed since that day. If people let this kind of emotion continue to ferment, his conscience and his bottom line will be completely swallowed and shaken. You should know that this This kind of belief is the most critical element for the success of an undercover agent."

"What if you let him go?"

"Total destruction, immediate termination of the plan."

"it is good."
