Lin Ruoxi lost her wallet and was short of resources, so she took on a temporary job as a researcher. She helped a foreign language center to conduct social surveys at major trouble spots. A questionnaire cost 6 yuan.
I skipped half a day of class in the afternoon to work part-time, and when I came back in the evening, I received a call from Han Shanshan just as I walked to the gate - Old Mrs. Liu is holding an impromptu class meeting at 5 o'clock, teaching building 501, all students must be present!
I pressed my phone and looked at the time: 4:58. So I ran away and ran upstairs.
Although being late is not a problem in college, old Mrs. Liu's mouth is like a machine gun. She catches a few things and does it one after another. Just thinking about it makes her head hurt.
Lin Ruoxi shook her head and sped up.
Running all the way to the teaching building, Lin Ruoxi looked at the light coming from the classroom door and suddenly felt a sense of victory in the long march. Her legs went weak and she almost sat on the ground.
The room was in a mess and every seat was packed. It seemed that all the more than 100 people in the class had arrived, but Mrs. Liu was nowhere to be seen. She stood at the door and looked around, and saw Huang Ying and Han Shanshan sitting in the third row from the bottom, limping.
He turned around and walked over.
"What's wrong with the legs?" Huang Ying pursed her lips.
"I'm running. I'm a little weak." Panting, he sat down on the chair with a "thud" sound. "Where's Mrs. Liu? You almost died of exhaustion, but you can really trick people!"
"She seems to have gone to the office to get something. She actually asked you just now, but Lao Han said you went to the toilet, so she didn't ask again."
Lin Ruoxi sighed, knowing that Mrs. Liu turned a blind eye to her matters.
Old Mrs. Liu started taking charge of the class when they entered school, and followed them all the way from their freshman year to their senior year. She was a bit chatty, and she usually wanted to compete for rankings, but overall she was pretty good. And she was usually very kind to Lin Ruoxi.
It was considered taking care of him, and he pretended not to notice her skipping classes and working part-time.
Lin Ruoxi didn't know, but Mrs. Liu actually had a very deep impression on her.
After all, someone like her, who ranks among the top in her major for skipping classes and final grades, would hardly be impressed.
When Old Mrs. Liu returned to the classroom with a large pile of forms, Lin Ruoxi was still leaning on her chair in a daze. The fatigue of the afternoon and the vigorous running just now made her a little tired and listless at the moment.
When she came back to her senses, Old Mrs. Liu had already started talking non-stop. She thought about everything from dormitory management to regular attendance, final exams, and even the internship in the next semester. It took nearly an hour to get down to business.
OK, hand out the forms in your hands.
It turned out to be a personal accident insurance policy.
Normally, insurance is organized at the end of the academic year and at the beginning of the next semester. However, Lin Ruoxi has been in her senior year of medical studies for 5 years and is about to enter the hospital for internship. The school found it troublesome, so they did the work in advance.
"Go back and fill out the insurance policy, along with 80 yuan and a copy of your ID card, and hand it to the squad leader on Monday." Mrs. Liu, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, stood in front and shouted at the top of her lungs.
Lin Ruoxi immediately showed a wry smile after hearing this. This is really unlucky for a person. Even if she drinks cold water, her teeth will be clogged. If she doesn't have enough money, she can go out with her classmates. But she even lost her ID card. Where can she find a copy of it!
Afraid of worrying her mother, she didn't tell her family at all about losing her wallet. She thought that the semester was coming to an end and she would get a new ID card when she went home during the summer vacation, but who knew that something like this happened halfway through.
Now even if she calls back to rush to get a replacement ID card, it may be too late for the courier to arrive.
That’s all, I’ll just stop participating in the insurance in the second half of the year. Anyway, if you do it voluntarily, you can still save 80 yuan.
He sighed and folded the insurance policy into a plane to vent his anger.
After the class meeting, Huang Ying and Han Shanshan wanted to go out for a late-night snack. Lin Ruoxi was tired after a long day and felt really uninterested, so she separated from them at the intersection and turned towards the dormitory building.
As soon as I arrived downstairs, I saw my name written on the whiteboard at the door of the dormitory building. It is usually used for writing notices. If a classmate has a letter or package, the dormitory aunt will also write her name on it.
Anyone who sees it should go to the mailroom on the first floor to get it. Because outsiders and boys are not allowed in the girls' dormitory of University M.
Lin Ruoxi frowned as she looked at her name. She was usually busy working, had few social contacts, and never shopped online. Who could send her something by mail?!
After muttering to my aunt, I realized it was a letter.
The sky blue envelope was very delicate, with no address written on it. Only Lin Ruoxi's name was written on it, with three Chinese characters: dragons and phoenixes, vigorous and powerful, with arrogance in the strokes.
I asked the dormitory aunt, and she said that the letter was delivered at noon. And the person who delivered the letter was not a postman, but a man in a black suit, about 30 years old, very handsome, and he named her to deliver it to her.
A bad premonition suddenly came over me. A chill rose from my chest and went straight to the top of my head, causing my scalp to tingle.
She opened the envelope almost angrily. The thin layer of paper was torn open, revealing a photo. The scene above was very familiar. It was taken with her mother in the square in the provincial capital of her hometown during the summer vacation of her freshman year.
.The same photo was developed twice, one was placed on the bedside at home, and the other she kept in her wallet.
Lin Ruoxi stared blankly at the photo in her hand, her mind blank. Before she could make any unnecessary reactions, the phone in her pocket vibrated.
She took out her phone tremblingly and saw a series of unfamiliar numbers displayed on the screen. Lin Ruoxi hesitantly pressed the answer button and put it to her ear.
"It's me." The low voice said lazily, "I received the item." He said it very definitely, without any doubt.
At that moment, she felt that her heart had almost sunk to the bottom.
Lin Ruoxi gritted her teeth, walked out of the dormitory door, and hid in the shadows beside the flower bed, "Why is my wallet with you?"
"I took you back that night, and you left me in my car." The person over there laughed, "Did you miss me? Hmm~" The long ending sound was rising, very frivolous. Before she could speak, another word came out.
She spoke with a teasing smile, as if she was drunk, "Ruoxi, I miss you. It makes me feel uncomfortable wherever I think about it..."
"boring!"
"I'm in Jinggang, come here now!" The standard commanding tone was arrogant and overbearing and could not be refused.
"what on earth do you want?!"
"I just want to return your things to you."
She took a breath and tried to make her voice sound polite and cold, "Then I'd like to thank Mr. Tang first. It's too late today. Could you please courier it to me tomorrow? I'll pay you the postage."
A chuckle escaped from the receiver, "Express delivery? Do you think I have enough free time in a day?" The voice was a bit colder, "Besides, I have kept things for you for so many days, shouldn't you come and pick them up in person?" It was clearly intentional.
Make things difficult.
The hand holding the phone was squeezed tightly, and the joints were slightly protruding. Lin Ruoxi suppressed the excitement that was about to burst out of her chest, and said as calmly as possible: "I'm sorry that you kept it for me for so long. I don't want my wallet anymore.
You can handle it as you wish."
The other party was silent for a few seconds, "You don't want your ID card anymore?"
"No! Don't pester me again!" The last few words were almost growled. After saying that, he pressed the end button hard.
I was very happy when I hung up the phone, but then my hands that were holding the phone tightly began to tremble slightly.
It is absolutely false to say that I am not afraid at all.
Although Lin Ruoxi's character is not sharp, she is very stubborn and sensitive. She also has a very keen intuition for judging people and things.
What really makes Lin Ruoxi shudder at Tang Hongxuan is not his complicated and rich background. That is a level that she cannot touch.
In a legal society, all she has seen are the unfashionable things of local hooligans. Or the vicious forces she has seen in Taiwanese idols. As for how bloody the environment Tang Hongxuan lives in, and how capable he is of turning things upside down.
, she has no way of imagining it. Therefore, the ignorant are fearless.
There was something akin to a beast hidden in Tang Hongxuan's body. His bloody and cruel nature was hidden under Chu Chu's clothes, and he could reveal his sharp fangs to pierce people at any time.
She was afraid of him for no reason. She was afraid to an extent that she didn't even know.
Therefore, it can be said that almost all the courage was used up to hang up the phone call with him.
However, Lin Ruoxi didn't know at that time that hanging up Tang Hongxuan's call casually required more than just the word "courage". Of course, she also didn't know that she was the first person in Tang Hongxuan's 30 years of life who dared to do so casually.
The person who hung up on him.
After calming down for a while, Lin Ruoxi began to feel uneasy.
Losing her wallet does not necessarily mean she will lose her troubles, and hanging up the phone will not cut off Tang Hongxuan's entanglement with her. She knows all this. But her childhood living environment has made her develop an ostrich personality and habit.
Therefore, even though she had a vague feeling that the development of things might be so bad that she could not imagine it. But she still chose to bury her head in the sand, just praying uneasily, and then trying her best to think in a good direction... maybe
, Tang Hongxuan was angry and stopped looking for her; or maybe he was bored just now, but just teasing her to relieve her boredom would not really do anything to her.
Be patient, be patient and it will pass.
It's a pity...God doesn't fulfill one's wish!
Just as Lin Ruoxi continued to comfort herself, her phone vibrated again.
She was startled and almost threw it out.
The screen shone brightly in the darkness, displaying the same number as before.
The phone kept vibrating.
Lin Ruoxi stared at the screen and suddenly felt a little panicked.
Her white fingers kept rubbing the red hang up button. When she finally decided to press it, her hand shook, moved her position, and pressed the answer button.
As soon as the call was connected, the man's voice rang out, slow and clear, cold and mixed with anger, which made people shudder. "I only give you ten minutes. Aken's car is parked outside your school.
Go up, or I'll ask someone to tie you up in front of me." Immediately, there was a busy signal from 'Didi'.
