She is in the fog

After the final exam, He Xi and her classmates were truly high school seniors. After returning home for only a few days, before they could even get their beds warm, they received a notice from the school for summer remedial classes, so they returned home.

This also meant that Wen Wan's summer travel plans were ruined. She was unwilling to accept the situation and cried out to the sky: "Why! Why! Why is there such a thing as tutoring? Mom and Dad have already bought the plane tickets. Now, what was supposed to be a family trip has turned into their honeymoon."
She looked at He Xi who was calm beside her and asked in confusion: "He Xi, why are you so calm? Have you just accepted the fact?"

"Is there a possibility that you were deceived by your uncle and aunt?"

"what?"

"The school informed parents of the make-up class early in the morning, so I'm not surprised at all. You didn't just find out about it, did you?"

"Oh my God!" Wenwan's scream resounded through the sky, shaking off a few leaves.

According to the school's arrangement, the entire senior year class had to take make-up classes, nearly 2000 people, which was not a small number. But I don't know if it was because of the loss of two grades, but I always felt that the campus had become much more desolate. But there was also a good thing, that is, there were fewer people scrambling for food, and the queues in the cafeteria were suddenly much shorter and less crowded, and you could get food after waiting in line for a while.

Summer tutoring is actually no different from regular classes. You have six days off and one day off. There is only evening self-study on Sundays, and you can go anywhere to play during the day.

But after all, it was the senior year of high school, and the students had long since put aside their playful attitudes and focused on their studies. Now, on Sunday, He Xi, Ming Mei, Wen Wan, and Li Xingyu did not plan to go hiking or play in the water, but instead decided to go to the typhoon shelter in front of the school, drink milk tea, do homework, and read books.

"There's no better place to go than the milk tea shop at the school gate." Wen Wan held Ming Mei's left hand and He Xi's right hand, and said excitedly, "Anyway, the weather is so hot, and I'm sweating after walking a long distance. The milk tea shop has air conditioning and seats, and I can order a cup of iced milk tea. Wow, this little life is perfect!"

He Xi obviously didn't understand the fun of it. She only paid attention to the word "ice" in the whole paragraph and immediately retorted: "No, she is on her period and can't drink ice."

Wen Wan immediately rolled her eyes, "This is just a hypothesis, you are such a bother."

The four of them entered the typhoon shelter. Since it was Sunday, there were still quite a few people queuing in the store, so they quietly walked to the end of the line and waited in line quietly.

Wen Wan looked around at the decoration of the Typhoon Shelter, but her bright eyes kept lingering on the pink wall covered with sticky notes. She tugged at the corner of Wen Wan's clothes and asked, "That looks interesting. I want to go and take a look. Would you like to come with me?"

Seeing this, He Xi also agreed: "I want to go too."

"No." Mingmei refused directly, blinking and pleading pitifully: "Just stay here and queue up for milk tea."

Faced with such a Ming Mei, no one could refuse any of her requests, and He Xi was no exception.

So, He Xi continued to queue, and they left the line arm in arm and walked towards the pink wall.

Li Xingyu also turned around and smiled: "Sister Xi, I'll go over to take a look too. Please help me queue up. I want two servings of pearls, thank you." After saying that, he also walked towards the pink wall.

Three positions in the team suddenly became vacant, so He Xi had to move forward a few steps.

"Amei, Amei, come and take a look." Wen Wan pointed at one of the sticky notes and said excitedly, "Your name is on it."

Mingmei looked in the direction of Wenwan's finger and saw the words written on it: "Liang Yuan will always love Mingmei."
She shook her head in confusion: "I don't know Liang Yuan, so it might not be me."

"Oh, it must be a classmate who has a crush on you." Wen Wan said confidently, "He likes you secretly, but you don't even know who he is. What a tragic story!"

Well, I have to say that Wenwan has a very rich imagination.

While Li Xingyu and Wen Wan were still looking at the messages on the wall, Mingmei took the sticky notes and pen from the shelf nearby and started scribbling on the table.

Soon, Li Xingyu and Wen Wan came up to her, stretched their necks to peek at her openly.

The bright handwriting is the same as before, with dragons flying and phoenixes dancing, and a momentum that can swallow mountains and rivers.

Li Xingyu stupidly read the words above: "May He Xi be safe and happy."

This frightened Mingmei. She hurriedly covered the contents of the sticky note and looked up at He Xi, who was not far away. She found that He Xi was still queuing patiently and was not looking over here. Then she breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and whispered, "Li Xingyu, keep your voice down."

Li Xingyu was puzzled: "Why?"

"Why are you asking so many questions?" Wen Wan warned from the side, "Don't make it public."

Li Xingyu smelled the scent of gossip. She looked at Mingmei and her eyes widened instantly. "Could it be that you... you like her?"

"Since you've discovered it, I won't hide it anymore." Ming Mei tore off the sticky note and glanced at He Xi. Seeing that He Xi was talking to the clerk, she took the opportunity to quickly stick the sticky note on the empty space on the pink wall. She turned around and continued, "But you have to keep this secret for me. You can't let her know before I confess to her."

Li Xingyu approached her and asked in a low voice: "Are you still planning to confess to her?"

Ming Mei said, "The confession date is tentatively decided to be after the college entrance examination next year, on my birthday. At present, apart from me, only you and Wen Wan know about this, so... you know."
After saying that, she raised her eyebrows at her "threateningly".

"Mingming! Wenwan! Li Xingyu!" He Xi waved at the three of them while holding a cup of milk tea, and pointed to the window seat, "The milk tea is ready, let's go there and drink it."

"I'm coming!" Mingmei jumped and ran towards the window. Li Xingyu looked at her cheerful back, but her eyes were full of resentment. She shook her head and sighed, complaining to Wen Wan beside her: "Sister Wan, do you feel uncomfortable?"

Wen Wan said with a sad face: "Yes. Ah Mei is so ungrateful that she only wished He Xi and not me. I'm so mad! No, I have to write one myself!" She is a person of action. After she finished speaking, she immediately picked up the sticky note and pen that Ming Mei had left before, wrote the seven big words "Wish Wen Wan peace and happiness" on the paper, and angrily stuck it in the corner.

After doing all this, I remembered to ask Li Xingyu: "By the way, what are you upset about?"

"I have something to say but I can't. It's so uncomfortable." Li Xingyu wanted to cry but she couldn't. It was hard enough to hide the secret that He Xi liked Ming Mei. Now there was another big news that Ming Mei liked He Xi. These two people didn't allow her to tell each other, but they were running towards each other...

"Oh." Li Xingyu sighed again, suddenly feeling that he had endured too much.

Seeing Li Xingyu's painful look of wanting to say something but stopping, Wen Wan couldn't help but become curious: "What did you say? Tell me."

"I can't say." Li Xingyu shook his head firmly.

"Tell me about it!" Wen Wan raised four fingers with a serious expression, "I promise not to tell anyone else."

Li Xingyu frowned, and couldn't help it. He looked around, leaned close to Wen Wan's ear, and whispered, "In fact, He Xi also likes Ming Mei."

Hearing this, Wen Wan's upturned mouth corners immediately drooped. She rolled her eyes and raised her eyebrows and said, "I thought it was a huge secret, but this is it? I knew it eight hundred years ago."

"How did you know?"

"Isn't it obvious? Even someone with 800 degrees of myopia can see it, right? Look carefully, whenever Ah Mei is around, He Xi's eyes never leave her, and his eyeballs are almost fixed on her."

So, Li Xingyu turned around and looked at the two people by the window, nodding in agreement: "You are right. But since you already knew it, don't you feel uncomfortable holding it in? Aren't you anxious?"

"I'm so anxious! But what's the use of being anxious?" Wen Wan frowned, "Ever since Ah Mei told me that she likes He Xi, I've been so anxious that I want to find a love relationship for them. Otherwise, why do you think I don't live on campus? Do you think I like to go to school and go home alone every day? I'm conscious and don't want to be a light bulb. Who knew they were so disappointing! One refused to speak up, and the other insisted on waiting until after the college entrance examination. It's just that the authorities are confused."

Seeing Wen Wan so anxious, Li Xingyu breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, I feel much better now."

The four of them sat by the window and worked on their homework, drinking their milk tea intermittently. Li Xingyu was chewing on some chewy pearls when he suddenly stopped writing, looked up, and said mysteriously, "By the way, let me share something fun with you."

Wen Wan was bored with doing the questions and had long wanted to have some fun, so she immediately put down her pen, pricked up her ears and asked excitedly: "What's the matter? I'm all ears!"

"A few days ago, the Nanzhou City Public Security Bureau and the Yuzhou City Public Security Bureau jointly cracked a drug case with the police from Country M. They seized 27 kilograms of drugs and arrested 17 people involved in the case, of whom were nationals of Country M."

Wen Wan stared with her eyes wide open, her mouth wide enough to fit an egg, "Oh my God! This is a big case! There will be many death sentences, right?" At last, she asked doubtfully, "But, didn't we say we were sharing something fun? Is this fun?"

"I haven't finished yet, why are you in such a hurry?" After Li Xingyu finished scolding Wen Wan, he continued to describe vividly: "One of the suspects was caught in the territory of Country M. He was wearing headphones and eating chicken pot, so he missed the noise outside. As a result, he was surrounded by the police. When he was caught, he didn't run or make a fuss, but just asked to be allowed to finish the chicken pot. Isn't that funny?"

He Xi caught a few key words from Li Xingyu's words and immediately asked, "Where did you hear this?"

"My cousin is a military reporter. In early July, he said he was going on a business trip abroad and would be back for more than a month. Then I learned that he was going to film and record this case. He said it was very thrilling and several drug enforcement officers were seriously injured. Fortunately, they were rescued."

He Xi frowned, his expression solemn, and confirmed again: "Is everything you said true?"

"You have to believe me. This case is quite serious. My cousin said that they have teamed up with the TV station to prepare a program. It should be broadcast on the news soon."

Facts have proved that Li Xingyu did not lie.

2013年11月22日，《8·23行动》纪录片开始在南城电视台黄金时间段首播。

The documentary actually contained the "chicken pot segment" narrated by Li Xingyu. He Xi looked at the suspect who was eating chicken pot in the picture. Although it was blurred, she still recognized him.

Fire.

She knew him too well.

Mingmei sat beside her and asked curiously, "Is it really him? With the mosaics on, will we make a mistake?"

"I won't make a mistake." He Xi said confidently, "I would recognize him even if he turned into ashes. Look, there is a poppy tattoo on his arm, which is also evidence."

Ming Mei stared at the poppy tattoo on his arm for a long time and felt that it was a little strange, but she couldn't tell what was strange at the moment. She simply stopped thinking about it and turned to look at He Xi, smiling and said, "Does this mean that my danger alert can be lifted from now on?"

"Of course, we are safe." He Xi smiled back. After her rebirth, she had never felt as comfortable as today.
