She is in the fog

He Xi was so focused on visiting Ming Mei that he didn't even have time to eat and was now starving.
After leaving school, I planned to go to a small restaurant near the school for lunch.

When she passed by the street, she happened to see a small stall with a bunch of red bracelets on display. She walked to the stall, picked up a bracelet, looked it up and down, and then politely asked the price.

The stall owner said, "1 yuan."

He Xi decided to buy a red bracelet and told Li Xingyu that it was blessed by a master from Jinyunshan Temple. In this way, it was not bad to buy him peace of mind with one dollar.

When He Xi was about to pay, the stall owner pointed to a pile of rings nearby and said, "Miss, would you like to buy a ring? You can have it engraved for free."

"No, thank you."

The stall owner still didn't give up and continued, "It is said that if you engrave the name of the person you love on the ring, it will last forever. Buy one."

The white man yawned: [Humph, only those young and inexperienced kids would believe such words. Do you still want to deceive He Xi? Dream on.]

However, three seconds later, He Xi began to pick out a ring that suited her finger size from the pile of rings.

She tried it on her ring finger at first, but then she thought, the ring on the ring finger was for Mingmei to wear in person, what would it mean if she wore it in advance? So she started to try it on her index finger, and finally found a ring without any decorations and that fit her index finger.

She handed it to the stall owner: "Can you engrave the inside of the ring?"

"Sure, sure. What do you want to carve?"

He Xi felt that it would be too conspicuous to just engrave the name, so he said, "Can you engrave two English letters, 'MM'?"

"Two 'M's, huh?"

"Yes."

"Engrave it on the inside of the ring. Okay, wait a moment."

After a while, a silver ring with "MM" engraved on the inside appeared on He Xi's left index finger. She raised her left hand under the sun, watching the sunlight sneaking in between her fingers, making the ring sparkle, and she couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Since He Xi had not been to school for a long time and her phone was unreachable, her class teacher Zhong Nuo could not help but start to worry about her safety. When asked in class, Li Xingyu only said that she had gone out for something, but she could not say what it was.

So, Zhong Nuo had no choice but to call He Sicheng. After making several calls, the other party finally answered. Not only was his attitude very perfunctory, but he also showed no concern for He Xi's whereabouts. He just said that he didn't know where He Xi had gone.

After hanging up the phone, Zhong Nuo sighed: "What kind of parents are these? Are they biological children? How can they be so irresponsible?"

On Monday afternoon, when Zhong Nuo was about to go to the police station to report the crime, He Xi finally returned to Nanzhou No. 1 Middle School.

Zhong Nuo was relieved to see that she was safe and sound, and called her to his office to ask her why she skipped classes.

He Xi replied sincerely: "Dealing with some things."

"Did something happen at home?"

He Xi shook his head: "No, it's some of my own things."

Zhong Nuo couldn't convince her, but considering that He Xi was usually a good girl and saw that she returned to school safely, he didn't care so much. In the end, he just reminded her: "Remember to wear your school uniform tomorrow." After leaving the office, He Xi recalled the strange and scary eyes in the photo. She was basically certain: the man staring at Ming Mei's back in the photo was both Ren Yan and Yan Huo, but his appearance was completely different from Ren Yan and Yan Huo.

In short, these three people with different looks are actually the same person.

That day was the school anniversary party, and the school had specially approved parents to attend. I guess that person sneaked in by taking advantage of the situation.
The most important thing now is to find that person, no matter what identity he currently exists in, we must find him.

Those eyes were so strange that He Xi was very confident that she would be able to recognize them at a glance as long as they appeared in front of her.

When I walked to the classroom door, Zhou Yu, who had been waiting outside, hurried over and said, "He Xi, someone told me that the physical education teacher wants to see you. He wants you to go to the sports equipment room and get a basketball for the class."

"okay."
He Xi didn't think too much and quickly rushed to the sports equipment room.

As a result, as soon as he pushed open the door of the sports equipment room, a basin of water poured down with a "splash", soaking He Xi from head to toe.

Although it was early spring, the water at room temperature was still a bit icy when it splashed on my body. The basin hit the ground with a "bang". He Xi reached out and wiped the water off his face. He glanced at the people opposite him and said calmly, "This is the second time."

After that, he left without looking back.

He Xi attended a physical education class with wet hair, and the black villain couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks: [You are not angry about this? You don't fight back? Are you practicing ninjutsu? ]

He Xi spread his hands and asked helplessly: "What else?"

The bell rang, and He Xi returned to the classroom. She reached into the desk to look for a book, but found it empty. This class was a chemistry class, and the chemistry teacher was very strict. If you didn't have a book, you would probably have to stand all the time during class. When she was about to borrow a chemistry book from the next class, the chemistry teacher had already walked into the classroom.

As expected, three minutes later, the chemistry teacher discovered that He Xi had no book.

"Where's your book?"
"I don't know." He Xi shook his head slightly and answered truthfully.
"How can you attend class without a book? You either have to stand in class or go to the next classroom to borrow a book."

He Xi thought he was unlucky. Just as he was about to go to the next class to borrow a book, the head teacher Jiang Qi knocked on the classroom door: "Teacher Zou, excuse me, is He Xi in this class?"

Teacher Zou looked around and asked, "Is there anyone named He Xi in our class?"

In the past, He Xi had average or lower grades, was taciturn, kept her head down when she met people, was not outstanding and did not make mistakes. Even her teacher could not remember her name. It is a bit sad to see her like this now.

"Teacher," He Xi slowly raised his hand, "I am He Xi."

Hearing this, Jiang Qi waved to her and said, "Come out for a moment. I have something to talk to you about."

When He Xi walked out of the classroom, Jiang Qi took out a chemistry book and handed it to her: "Is this your book?"

She took the chemistry book, turned to the first page, and after seeing the name on it, she couldn't help but bow to Jiang Qi: "This is my book, thank you Director Jiang."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Qi's expression suddenly became serious: "It's yours, come with me."

Jiang Qi led He Xi to a flower bed, pointed at a pile of paper scraps inside and said to He Xi: "As a student, it's ok for you not to take care of your books, but tearing up your textbooks like this and throwing them into the school flower bed, how can this be considered decent? Clean this place up right now, and I'll come to inspect it before evening self-study. If there's even a little bit of paper scraps left, I'll report it to the whole school!"
