After being slapped by Ji Nian, Lu Xi was actually not angry. Instead, he calmed down and realized that he was meddling in his own business.

Between Ji Nian and Liu Siyi, they will eventually go to one place according to the preset trajectory, without the intervention of outsiders.

The bleeding had almost stopped, so he took out the blood-soaked tissue and threw it into the trash can beside the road.

The sky darkened quickly in the evening of October, and the autumn wind was bleak.

When Lu Xi was walking on the road, she gathered the front of her baseball uniform, thinking about what to bring back for dinner when she left school.

Not wanting the sky to be dark, coupled with his absent-mindedness, he bumped into someone head-on while passing the garden.

There was a bang, and the cardboard box held in the man's hand fell to the ground, and all the contents inside rolled out.

Lu Xi frowned.

Fortunately, neither of them fell down, but just knocked over the carton.

Lu Xi squatted down to help pick up things on the ground.

But not for a while, he suddenly felt a little strange.

The person who bumped into him stood straight in front of his eyes, without moving for a long time, as if he was unaware of the loss of his things.

Lu Xi was puzzled, picked up a small plush duck toy at his feet, and looked up hesitantly.

Looking at it, my scalp felt a little numb.

But I saw that it was a woman wearing a deep black mask. She couldn't tell her age, but it should not be more than thirty.

The woman wore a low ponytail, her hair was a little messy, and the exposed skin revealed an unusual paleness.

The most frightening thing is the pair of red bloodshot eyes, because they are so thin that the eye sockets are sunken and the eyeballs are protruding.At this moment, the woman was staring at Lu Xi with wide-eyed eyes without blinking, with a few hairs covering her eyes.

With a "wipe" in her heart, Lu Xi quickly stood up, took two steps back, and was stared at by a strange woman who looked like a life-threatening ghost, making her back hairy.

He glanced at the surrounding ground and found that the scattered objects included documents, pen holders, fountain pens, and several plush decorative toys.

From the looks of it, the woman should be carrying personal belongings.

In front of her, the woman wearing a mask didn't move, she was still staring at Lu Xi, her eyeballs became more and more protruding, and a layer of anxiety gradually appeared in her eyes, as if she was eager to tell something.

While Lu Xi was baffled, she also became more and more apprehensive, saying "freak" in her heart.

He looked around, put the stuffed duck into a cardboard box not far away, lifted the shoulder strap of his backpack, and wanted to go around the woman and leave quickly.

"Your coat..."

At this time, the woman spoke with a hoarse voice, like a sponge covered with water droplets in a rainy day, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

Lu Xi stopped.

The woman in the mask stretched out her hand tremblingly, that hand looked more and more pale in the dim evening environment, giving the illusion of transparency after a long time.

Following the direction that the hand was pointing at, Lu Xi lowered his head and found that the woman was pointing at the hem of his coat.

Lu Xi took a look at the hem as a matter of course - except for a zipper pull at the end of the zipper, there was nothing wrong with it.

Besides, when the silver-haired girl returned the clothes yesterday, the zipper puller was broken.

Feeling that the woman might be reminding him, Lu Xihun loosened his hem casually, and said softly, "It's just like this, it didn't just fall off."

"Your coat..." the woman spoke again, her hoarse voice was muffled by the deep black mask, with the kind of pain left after crying away all the tears, she asked, "Is...is it yours? "

Lu Xi looked up at her without knowing why, and nodded.

The blood in the woman's eyes suddenly increased a lot, and she looked even more terrifying than before.

Lu Xi unconsciously took two steps back, thought for a while, then turned around and walked out of the school the other way.

***

Lu Xi passed two days in peace, and was basically familiar with the original owner's environment.

Halfway through, the agent contacted him again, urging him to make a promotional video quickly, but Lu Xi was perfunctory.

The manager was worried that Lu Xi would find it troublesome to prepare the materials, so he backed down a step and said, "Zongzu, if you really don't want to shoot... Otherwise, you can just do the live broadcast, and we won't have to edit later."

Lu Xi said "Oh" and continued to perfunctory.

Besides, at school, apart from the black-faced teacher Ao who would stare at him closely, there was nothing to complain about.

When Lu Xi returned to school, he was still a scumbag with nothing to do, and now he was deprived of the right to sleep. He would either stare out the window with his head propped up all day, or flip through a few bestsellers brought from the original owner's apartment.

One of them was unexpectedly to his liking, the writing style was dark and suspenseful, the title of the book was "Erosion", and Lu Xi didn't pay much attention to the author.

Because the mid-term exam will be held in the middle and late October, the teacher's classroom pace has accelerated, and the number of homework assignments has increased accordingly.

Lu Xi's class is considered a good class among the science classes of the whole year. Although there are some people like Lu Xi who paid money to dawdle, there are only two or three people, and the number is very small.

There is still less than half a month of review time, and the learning atmosphere in the class has obviously increased a lot.

Perhaps because he was busy with his studies, Ji Nian didn't come to provoke Lu Xi again in the past two days.

When Lu Xi occasionally turned his head to look over, across a large group in the middle, he could often see Ji Nian seriously doing the questions.

The school grass is not sitting very upright, and when his elbows are slightly propped up on the table, one shoulder blade will protrude jaggedly.

When doing year-end questions, he will habitually tilt his head a little bit, gently press his lips, and write smoothly on the book with his right hand. It seems that nothing can bother him.

Of course, even the god of learning occasionally encounters a little stuck problem.

Once Lu Xi glanced over there inadvertently, and saw Ji Nian propping his cheek with one hand, lowering his gaze, pouted his mouth, and clamped the ballpoint pen under his nose.The crow-feather-like black eyelashes fluttered gently, casting a blue shadow in front of his eyes.

Inexplicably childish.

Lu Xi looked at it, blinked her long and narrow eyes lightly, and stopped paying attention to the situation over there.

He turned his head, resting on his arms, to look at the pages in front of him.

What I saw happened to be Chapter 5 of "Erosion", and the sentence at the beginning——

"The abyss has overflowed my mouth, and I can no longer speak my heart."

Lu Xi narrowed his eyes slightly. Seeing this, he had a strong feeling that the author of this book was either extremely depressed in the spiritual world, or had become abnormal.

It is rare that Lu Xi became interested in who is the author of a book.

He sat up, turned over the title page of the book, looked for it, and saw an extremely low-key word in the corner - "Cu Sui".

De-year?

Lu Xi thought, this name looks like a new year.

***

On Friday, seeing that the week was about to pass, Lu Xi received a call from her manager.

The agent's English name is David, and his Chinese name is Liu Dawei, but he is annoyed by others calling him by his Chinese name.

"Lu Xi, let me tell you something..." Unexpectedly, Liu Dawei's voice was not as loud and coquettish as usual, he hesitated, and said, "Isn't the promotion scheduled for Sunday, you first Don't rush, take your time."

The day before yesterday he was very active in urging him, but now he said he was not in a hurry, Lu Xi looked out the window at the dead tree branches that had lost all their leaves, and said lazily, "What's wrong?"

"That's... bad, there are only those bad things on the Internet. It's good to have a lot of experience. Don't worry about it after listening to it." Liu Dawei said, "I don't know which bastard grandson used my account to log on to the computer and found out last year's team. The photos at the celebration banquet in Italy, everyone was crazy that day, you know, there are a few photos of you, the photos are blurred, in fact, it is not the case at all, and then... it was taken to do it article."

A chirp landed on a bare tree branch, Lu Xi looked at it with a sleepy expression, and said indifferently: "What article?"

Liu Dawei was silent for a while, sighed, and said: "It started at noon today, and suddenly there were a lot of articles saying that you slept with L and group P, and now the influence is very bad. My superiors have also started to pay attention to this matter...Recently Otherwise, don’t surf the Internet, turn off 4G, and cut off Wifi. Isn’t it the mid-term exam? Don’t bother with the Internet. Also, don’t log in to Douyin’s account. Now the problem is a bit tricky. I'm trying to figure it out."

Liu Dawei babbled a lot, but Lu Xi just listened quietly without blinking.

"Lu Xi, this is my fault." Liu Dawei said with rare guilt in his voice, "As a manager, I didn't protect you...I apologize."

Lu Xi suddenly sneered lightly, and looked away from the window.
