countdown to winter

Chapter 40

The school attached great importance to this final exam, and the review line was very long. Shi Xing also reviewed it carefully-his review was different from others. It was also easy to go through, and it took less than two hours.

Final exams will start soon.

Wen Xia returned the notebook to him before starting.

That notebook has been with him for more than five months, and it is not a good idea for Wen Xia to keep it there, for fear of bumping into it, thinking, it is better to return it to Shi Xing.

Shi Xing took the notebook and didn't ask anything. He turned the page and saw her handwriting. The date coincidentally happened to be a few years ago today.

"Xing Xing, I want you to live well, go and see the light for me, what is it like?"

Shi Xing closed his notebook and smiled at him.

Four exams, two days to complete.

After the last one was over, Shi Xing walked out of the examination room with his schoolbag in his hand, and saw a pine and cypress tree outside the window, on which a sparrow had fallen, sizing him up with black eyes.

Shi Xing turned on his cell phone. During the exam, he was afraid of a sudden call, so he turned it off.

The phone comes in.

——Shi Haoran.

Shi Xing pressed the hang up button, put the phone in his pocket, and turned it on silent.

After returning to class, Wen Xia walked in after the teachers of other subjects finished assigning homework, and said a few things to pay attention to during the winter vacation, and then it was off.

Shi Xing took his homework and walked out of the classroom. Wen Xia was waiting for him at the door and asked, "Do you need me to take you back?"

"No need." Shi Xing said, "It's very close, we'll be there in a while."

Wen Xia didn't say anything anymore, "Call me if you have anything to do."

Shixing nodded.

It's mid-January.

The campus has been wiped off by the cold, with dry trees, yellowed grass, and fallen leaves piled up on the side of the altar, with a monotonous excitement.

Shi Xing put his schoolbag on his back, took out his phone, and saw the latest text message.

【Shi Haoran】: Help me.

[Shi Haoran]: You answer the phone!

What's going on here?

Being hunted down by the little lover or what?

Shi Xing was not very interested. If he died, he could reluctantly raise ashes for him. If he was alive—it had nothing to do with him.

I put my phone back in my pocket, and occasionally kicked the stones on the side of the road. Many students went home on the way, and their conversations became background white noise. It seemed that walking alone was not very boring.

When he arrived at Xinghuayuan, Shi Xing saw a yellow dog squatting at the door from a distance.

The yellow dog barked at him.

Shi Xing's house is in the inner part of Xinghuayuan, which can be regarded as a community, but no one is watching the door all the year round, and the railings have not been lowered. Anyone who wants to enter can enter.

Just as Shi Xing was about to go in, footsteps came from behind him. Before he could react, his mouth was covered abruptly. Shi Xing struggled violently, but the man was not weak, and dragged him into the alley .

The barking of the yellow dog faded away, it barked wildly, and was about to run over, but the rope was tight.

Shi Xing slammed his elbow back, and then he heard a familiar voice.

Shi Haoran gasped and said, "Don't move! It's me!"

He let Shi Xing go, Shi Xing got air, his chest heaved, there was no light in the alley, there was still a trash can next to him, the stench made Shi Xing almost want to vomit.

"what are you doing!"

"I committed a crime," Shi Haoran trembled, "someone is arresting me!"

"Are you in debt to usury?"

"No, it's just a bitch, she's dressed like that at night, so I pulled her aside," Shi Haoran said, "Who knew there was someone beside me!"

Shi Xing felt even more disgusted: "What's the use of telling me."

Shi Haoran suddenly grabbed his hand, Shi Xing flung it away as soon as he touched his hand, Shi Haoran didn't care, and said: "You are my son, you have to save me!"

"How can I save you!" Shi Xing said disgustedly, "I don't have the money to hire a lawyer for you."

"I have it, I have it," Shi Haoran said impatiently, "Isn't there an alarm clock at the door of our house, there are all there, you bring it to me, and I will leave and never come back, okay!"

Never come back.

Shi Xing's eyes moved.

Shi Haoran suddenly slapped himself: "I used to be my beast, don't worry, you are my son, if you don't save me, no one can save me - you bring me the money, I will immediately just go."

Shi Xing couldn't see his expression clearly in the dark, so he nodded: "Okay."

Half a minute later, Shi Xing walked out of the dark alley.

In the alley, a pair of eyes looked at him longingly, watching him enter the community.

Shi Xing entered the house.

He took out his mobile phone and pressed three numbers almost calmly.

The house was very quiet, only his voice was left to echo, Shi Xing said: "It's in a small alley at the entrance of Xinghuayuan, but it's hard to find, you can turn down the surveillance, I'll go to that alley later, follow I'll do."

"As soon as possible," Shi Xing added, "don't honk."
