back edge

The school toilets always smelled of cigarette smoke, so strong that it overwhelmed the rest.

Xie Jingnian stood in front of the sink in a daze, curled his fingers on the sides of his legs, and then brushed his hair irritably.

want to smoke.

He doesn't remember how he learned to smoke, and the fragmented memory begins when he was in junior high school.At that time, he was still a bastard, smoking the same cigarette with others in the dirty and smelly toilet, and whoever took an extra puff would have to pay attention to it for a while.

He likes to smoke, but has no addiction.To him, smoking is more like a drug, which can suppress the spread of negative emotions in his heart.

Xie Jingnian washed his face with water, then raised his head, and there was an extra figure in the mirror.

It's from the class next door.He didn't know what it was called, but he only knew that this man's family seemed to be very rich, and everyone who knew him called him Young Master.

Xie Jingnian was not familiar with him, so this could be regarded as their first official meeting.He wiped his face and turned to leave, but was blocked by a handed cigarette.He followed the smoke upwards, and saw a smiling face, and he said angrily, "Xie Xueba, would you like one?"

Xie Jingnian didn't answer.

"Chen Hanlin, the fifth class next door." Chen Hanlin passed the cigarette forward again, "Don't pretend to be reserved, thank you Xueba, I have seen you smoking here several times."

"Is there something wrong?" Xie Jingnian took the cigarette and reached out to him, "Fire."

Chen Hanlin took out the lighter and lit it himself, and began to approach him with a playful smile: "I just want to make friends with Xueba."

Xie Jingnian felt the smoke flow into his mouth, and all the emotions accumulated in the past few days seemed to dissipate.He has been thinking hard about this medicine for more than a week.When he looked at Chen Hanlin again, he couldn't help but slow down his tone.

"Class is about to start, so let's talk about it."

"Oh." Chen Hanlin looked around, and whispered in Xie Jingnian's ear like a thief, "Isn't it time for the final exam? Let us arrange the exam room according to the class..."

"You want me to cheat for you?" Xie Jingnian guessed before he finished speaking.

The arrangement of the examination room has not been notified, and even the teacher has not heard the news, but Chen Hanlin has already known the specific arrangement.The young master must have spent a lot of effort, he couldn't think of a second reason for him to do so other than cheating.

Xie Jingnian's grades are very good. Although he is not the first in his grade, he is still in the top ten.Chen Hanlin was not the first person to look for him.

"Hey, keep your voice down!" Chen Hanlin was so anxious that he reached out to cover his mouth, but Xie Jingnian avoided him, and then whispered, "Just say whether you can help, the price is negotiable."

Xie Jingnian asked him how he ranked in the last exam.

"More than 200."

There are only two hundred people in the entire liberal arts department. More than 200, this is the last.

"How much do you want to get?"

"No, can I take as many exams as I want with this thing?" Chen Hanlin's eyes lit up when he heard this, "The top two hundred is fine."

Xie Jingnian looked at him, the top two hundred still need to find him to cheat at the risk of being caught?

Chen Hanlin seemed to see what Xie Jingnian was thinking, and he was playing with the lighter in his hand, and his tone was a little hasty: "I'm afraid that my exam is too high, and my father will doubt me when I go back. Shouldn't this be done step by step."

Xie Jingnian was a little moved.He is very short of money now, especially short of money.And the most shameless thing in the past has become his means of earning a living: "Will you come to me next time?"

"Of course! From now on, the examination room will be arranged according to the class, and we can always be in the same examination room." Chen Hanlin put away the lighter, came over and hooked Xie Jingnian's shoulder, "Hurry up, if you don't do it, I'll find someone else."

Xie Jingnian pinched his cigarette, recalling in his mind the price others offered him in the past.However, those people all want to get high scores. For the top [-] in front of them, past experience is obviously not enough for reference.

He tentatively stated a compromise price.

"Fifty for one subject, one hundred for comprehensive essays."

"Okay, okay, deal." Chen Hanlin didn't hesitate at all, left his contact information and immediately slapped his ass and left.

"Tsk, less." Xie Jingnian regretted looking at his back.

Of course, it was more helpless towards Chen Hanlin.The so-called contact information he left was the traces he had scratched on the white wall with the sharp corner of a metal lighter.

Xie Jingnian went back to class and took a pen and paper to copy it down, and smoothed out the bumpy marks before leaving.

I didn't eat in the morning, and I was hungry before noon.Xie Jingnian went to the water dispenser to fetch water again. Disposable paper cups were only big enough. He poured cup after cup into his stomach to barely suppress his hunger.

"At the same table, why are you so thirsty today?" Jia Feichen took out a basketball from under the chair, ready to play on the playground, and asked casually, "Would you like to go out to play with me?"

"Are there any girls watching?" Xie Jingnian asked.

"Ah?" Jia Feichen firstly didn't expect Xie Jingnian to answer his words, and secondly, he didn't expect Xie Jingnian to ask this question, "Yes, there are a bunch of little girls sitting under the tree to watch every day. Otherwise, why do you think I'm standing up?" Playing in the sun."

In the early autumn, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and it is the hottest at noon.Xie Jingnian seldom went out at noon, and the heat wave hit his face, giving him the illusion that he was still in the summer.

Jia Feichen came up to him and asked, "Can you play basketball at the same table?"

"A little bit." Xie Jingnian said, "It's been a long time since I played."

"That's okay, a little knowledge is enough, just play casually."

When we got to the court, some people were already playing.With sharp eyes, Zhuang Jie saw the two of them immediately, and greeted them: "Jia Feichen! This, this, come here."

"See who I bring." Jia Feichen said.

"Xie Jingnian, I saw it a long time ago." Zhuang Jie turned to Xie Jingnian and said, "By the way, do you know how to play? I haven't seen you play before."

Xie Jingnian still knows a little bit.

As for how much this meeting will be, Jia Feichen and Zhuang Jie have a deep understanding after a few games.He made accurate three-point shots, scored seven out of ten goals, and was especially good at grabbing rebounds. Although he was shorter than them, he jumped higher than Jia Feichen.Zhuang Jie and Jia Feichen took turns defending, but none of them got a favor from him.

Zhuang Jie wiped his sweat, and couldn't help complaining: "No, sir, do you know how to call this?"

The girls around were already excited, and all their eyes were on Xie Jingnian.There were also girls who asked others to deliver water for her, and Xie Jingnian accepted it without hesitation.

"Why did a girl bring you water so soon? I received it five times every day I played golf!" Jia Feichen was sore with toothache, jumping on his feet.

Zhuang Jie snapped back the five fingers extended by Jia Feichen and said, "Because you are ugly."

"Go away!"

Xie Jingnian went out to play with Jia Feichen for several days and took some things from girls.There is food, water, and two love letters excerpted from an unknown website.

During the lunch break, Jia Feichen came to play with Xie Jingnian again after eating. When he saw him eating, he came over: "Why do you eat bread every day, don't you get tired of it?"

"Fortunately."

"Where did you buy this?" Jia Feichen scolded when he saw the eye-catching small black letters on the packaging bag, "It's been several days past its expiration date! Unscrupulous merchant!"

Xie Jingnian paused, his fingertips rubbed the packaging bag tremblingly: "Is that so, I didn't pay attention."

Seeing Xie Jingnian take another bite, Jia Feichen almost jumped up.

"Why are you still eating, be careful of diarrhea!"

"Buy everything, it's a waste if you don't eat it."

In the evening, when he went back to the supermarket to continue working, Xie Jingnian met the girl from Ninth Middle School again.

Naturally, he didn't recognize it. It was the girl who greeted him on her own initiative: "Hi, do you remember me? My name is Fu Xue, and I'm from Ninth Middle School."

"Sorry, I..." Xie Jingnian could only smile at her.

Fu Xue's skin was very fair, and she could clearly see the blush appearing on her cheeks in an instant.

"It's okay. I am, the one who asked you to contact me before."

Later at this time, there was no one in the store, so Zhao Kang winked at Xie Jingnian: "You two go chat next to each other, how inconvenient it is."

"Brother Zhao." Xie Jingnian had no choice but to take Fu Xue aside, "I just remembered, sorry."

Fu Xue quickly said: "It's okay. I should apologize for disturbing your work."

"Did you come to find me on purpose?" Xie Jingnian asked.

He is not a narcissistic person, but Fu Xue's motives are a little too obvious, how can anyone come over and talk to him as soon as he walks in without buying anything.Before hearing the answer, Xie Jingnian had already made a draft of rejection in his heart.

"I, I, actually..." Fu Xue hesitated, and it took him a long time to say a complete sentence, "I like a boy in your school, his name is Jia Feichen. I see you are wearing the No. [-] Middle School uniform, do you know him?" ?”

"So you want my contact information because of him?" Xie Jingnian said, his ears felt unnaturally warm.Fortunately, his position was backlit, so Fu Xue probably couldn't see clearly.He took out his mobile phone and read Jia Feichen's WeChat account to her directly.

Fu Xue thanked him happily, and went into the store to find the little sister who came with her.

Xie Jingnian thought about it, and sent Jia Feichen a WeChat message, explaining the whole thing.I haven't received a reply after waiting for a long time, I guess I fell asleep.

Back in the store, Zhao Kang was calculating the income for tonight, and said to Xie Jingnian without looking up: "Xiao Xie, go and see the expired things, pack them up and report them to me. You can just throw them away tomorrow when you find time. "

Xie Jingnian looked around, but found nothing.He had picked them all two days ago.

"Brother Zhao, I sorted out the expired ones once before. It's in the brochure. Take a look."

"Hey, good."

The two were busy until late at night. Before Zhao Kang left, he did not forget to tell Xie Jingnian: "It's cold at night, if you're cold, just tell me, if there are extra quilts in the dormitory, I'll bring them for you."

Xie Jingnian rejected Zhao Kang's offer and retreated into a small corner.

The soundproofing of the walls of the supermarket is not very good. Xie Jingnian can hear the voices of passers-by, mixed with the noise of cars driving, and the beeping of the horn when lying there.

Can't sleep.

He took out his phone and started playing the Gongdou game he had downloaded before.It took him a long time to become a talented person, and the emperor never flipped his name.This is the position he was promoted to by going to the Queen Mother every day to make connections.

Seeing a small line saying that the imperial concubine was pregnant, Xie Jingnian immediately bought poison, found someone to poison the imperial concubine, and then put the blame on the queen, planning to kill two birds with one stone.Sure enough, on the second day in the game, news of the imperial concubine's death came from the palace. During the investigation stage of the matter, he crazily stuffed money in order to alleviate his suspicion.

But he is only a young talent, the monthly payment is not enough for his own expenses, and the bribes are not in place.Finally, the emperor's personal eunuch called him to the emperor.The emperor said a lot of disappointing things, but Xie Jingnian didn't even read them, and kept using his skills to plead for him.

"The dog emperor..." Xie Jingnian muttered in a low voice, watching Xie Cairen being thrown into the cold palace by the emperor and achieving a be ending.

Xie Jingnian reopened another file.He is an inspirational person who wants to be a queen.

The author has something to say:

Xiao Xie's mental journey.

One second before: I'm not a narcissist, but she's so obvious, I'm going to have to figure out how to reject her.

The next second: So she doesn't like me, so embarrassing.
