Lin Qingxue quickly circled around the neighborhood several times.

That's how I found the location of Unit 1, Building 5, as indicated on the address.

The May sun scorched the earth, causing Lin Qingxue's forehead to be slightly sweaty.

She took out her phone and checked the time.

The agreed time has arrived.

Lin Qingxue's face tightened.

Before I could even wipe the sweat from my brow, I kept walking inside.

at this time.

Just then, the elevator doors arrived, someone walked in, and then the doors closed.

Lin Qingxue's steps became even more hurried.

But in the end, they still couldn't make it in time.

They could only watch helplessly as the door closed in front of them.

Lin Qingxue stood in front of the elevator, holding a book in her hand, slightly out of breath.

She lowered her head and reached out to press the elevator button.

Then he stood there blankly, lost in thought.

Lin Qingxue didn't know what was wrong with her.

She used to be very organized and never late.

But just now, she walked around the neighborhood several times, and when she saw the building, she didn't seem to remember it very well.

I was just wandering around aimlessly.

Otherwise, she would have found this building long ago.

Scenes from my time as a tutor inexplicably surfaced in my mind.

It seems like every time I came out before...

That person would plan the itinerary in advance, including where to go, what time to depart, and which vehicle to take.

They would inform me of everything in advance, down to the smallest detail.

All she needed to do was prepare her lessons; the rest was simply to follow in that person's footsteps.

Lin Qingxue stared intently at the numbers flashing on the elevator screen in front of her.

During my first tutoring session, I felt uneasy and nervous, but I didn't show it.

She still remembers the excitement of receiving her first paycheck earned through her knowledge.

But now...

Lin Qingxue lowered her eyes.

They seem to have become numb.

Ding...

The elevator has arrived.

Lin Qingxue snapped out of her daze and stepped inside.

But when she was about to press the elevator button for her floor, she stopped.

Lin Qingxue silently picked up her phone, quickly opened the message, and checked the address again.

Then he stretched out his finger and pressed the button for the 13th floor.

The elevator slowly ascended.

Lin Qingxue looked somewhat bewildered.

What's wrong with me today?

It's like... it's lost its soul?

Perhaps it's because the weather is too oppressive, and with the college entrance exam approaching, people are feeling a bit anxious.

She comforted herself with this thought.

......

"Hurry, hurry, run! Three stars already!!"

"Where's the cheat code? Get a tank, you drive, I'll control the turret."

"No need! It's only three stars, don't underestimate my skills, you noobs!!"

...

Inside the bedroom.

Chen Jianji leaned against the doorway, watching the two sitting on either side of the computer desk, excitedly playing single-player games.

He knew at a glance that the network cable had been unplugged again.

With the college entrance exam approaching, I don't even dare to go to internet cafes.

The two of them can only play single-player games for entertainment.

"Brother Ji, wait a minute, I'll take over this round if I get eliminated, it'll be quick."

Liu Hai turned around and called out, but his eyes never left the screen.

"It's okay, you guys have fun. I'll just go outside and lie down on the sofa to rest for a while. I'm a little tired from the car ride."

Chen Jianji waved his hand and glanced briefly at the bedroom.

The bookshelf was filled with many slightly rough-made figurines and some comic books.

Liu Hai, a student in Class 4 of Senior Three, is Chen Jianji's roommate, even though they are not in the same class.

A fan of action anime, a pure-blooded chuunibyou (delusional) teenager living in his own world.

In his heart, he was a passionate and courageous man.

But in reality, he's someone who wouldn't dare utter a sound even if someone cut in line or mocked him to his face in the cafeteria.

I first met him when we enrolled in school. I happened to see him in the dormitory being teased by two delinquent students who were stealing his figurine.

At that time, Chan Kin-kei couldn't stand it and got into a scuffle with the two men.

This was his first fight after enrolling in school.

This also completely cemented his reputation as a "bad student".

Chen Jianji looked away.

Who would have thought that such a hairstyle would lead to a famous prosecutor ten years later?

He upheld the sense of justice he believed in through his actions.

Later, whenever the two got together, Liu Hai would talk about their first meeting.

Chen Jianji would always smile and sigh.

That fight was definitely worth it.

My thoughts came back to me.

Chen Jianji was about to turn around and leave the room.

But Zhang Ziliang suddenly turned his head and said.

"Oh, by the way, if you hear crying, don't be scared."

Chen Jianji stopped and asked in confusion.

"What's that crying sound?"

On the computer screen, a character dressed in blue fell into the sea.

Liu Hai then put down the keyboard and explained.

"My younger brother just got his exam results. He used to be an average student, but now he's at the bottom of his class."

"My parents hired a tutor for him, who came today, but he refused. My dad, who was in a rage, beat him up and he started crying."

As he spoke, he glanced at the clock on the wall.

"That's strange, the time my parents told me has come, but they haven't arrived yet."

"Zhang Zilian, you play on the computer, I'll go get some watermelon."

Zhang Ziliang moved his position and placed his hands on the keyboard and mouse.

"Okay, you two do whatever you want, I'm going to play games."

Soon, Chen Jianji and Liu Hai came out.

"Brother Ji, you can just lie on the sofa. I'll turn on the living room air conditioner for you, and I'll go get you a new sheet later. It's very comfortable to lie on the sofa with the air conditioner on and a sheet around."

Upon hearing this...

Chen Jianji couldn't help but laugh.

If it were ten years later, after being exposed to the ways of the world...

Who would let guests sleep on the sofa when they're coming over?

But right now, everyone is a student.

There weren't many rules, and Chan Kin-kei felt that this made him more relaxed.

Liu Hai was quite thoughtful to bring himself a bed sheet.

He had just lain down.

Zhang Ziliang's voice came from not far away.

"Hey bro, what's that cheat code for all the weapons again, 'nu'?"

"I remember you memorized it specifically last time and even asked the class monitor for help."

Upon hearing this...

Chen Jianji paused as he pulled the sheet over his head, and immediately recalled this scene.

At that time, he had just started playing this single-player game and even searched for some information online.

If I find any cheat codes, I write them down in my notebook.

Because it was too long and difficult to memorize, I asked Lin Qingxue for help.

She looked cold at the time, and no matter how long Chen Jianji pleaded with her, she refused to say another word.

This is one of the few times that he completely ignored me from beginning to end.

Although they usually don't like to talk to me, I'll eventually get them to say a few words if I keep pestering them.

I suppose there must have been some kind of conflict between him and Li Wenyan back then.

The more Chen Jianji thought about it, the more irritated he felt in his chest.

Zhang Ziliang's voice still echoed.

"Brother Ji, hurry, I can't hold on any longer, I need the password!"

See, high school students really don't understand social etiquette, they keep asking questions!

Chan Kin-kei finally lost his patience.

Ten years have passed, such a long time, how can he remember?

"nuttertools!"

"What?! Bro, you said that's too fast!"

Chen Jianji rolled his eyes.

"Search it on your phone yourself, I'm going to sleep, don't bother me."

Liu Hai had already brought over the bed sheet, and was also carrying a plate of watermelon in his other hand.

"Brother Ji, there's still watermelon on the sheets. You can cool off before you sleep."

"Even righteous warriors need to replenish their energy before going into battle."

As for the bangs, they still have a bit of an anime vibe.

Perhaps the air conditioning hasn't cooled down yet, and the weather is too dry.

Chen Jianji also felt annoyed at this moment.

He sat up and smiled.

"I'm not a warrior, I'm probably just the blond guy Zhang Zilian is talking about."

As he spoke, he reached for a slice of watermelon and quickly finished it in two or three bites.

Sure enough, I felt a refreshing coolness.

Liu Hai also sat down on the sofa on the other side.

"That's strange, it's already this late and they still haven't arrived. I'll ask my parents."

"We have to go to school later, and I don't have time to keep an eye on my younger brother and this tutor."

"That wretched younger brother, he's always causing trouble!"

Chen Jianji nodded.

"Maybe something came up and delayed him, you should urge him."

"I'll take a nap first. Call me if you need any help."

"it is good."

The two were talking.

But just then...

Ring ring...

The doorbell suddenly rang.
