Chapter 39

Anonymous

    For the next period of time, Xia Lin continued to study hard every day.

    Because he happened to be ranked 30th in the grade during the monthly exam, he was pretty good in the original class, but as soon as he entered the key class, he became a sad reminder.

    Everyone in the key classes is an elite. If you want to surpass the top classmates, you need to put in more effort, which is as big as the ordinary class before. jump. Progressive progress is impossible in key classes.

    But Xia Lin was not discouraged. He felt that since he was able to enter the key class, he must be able to continue climbing.

    By the time of the second monthly exam, he advanced by eleven, and in the third monthly exam, he advanced by seven, which is considered to have entered the ranks of this class. This has already impressed the teacher.

    At the same time, Xia Lin intermittently heard news about Song Yan from Zhou Shuo's mouth.

    I heard that Song Yan had made great progress during the second monthly exam. He almost reproduced the miracle before Xia Lin. By the third monthly exam, he was already among the best in the ordinary class.

    For these students who have made rapid progress in the later stage, the school is naturally happy to send them to key classes for careful cultivation. At present, several students have been transferred from ordinary classes one after another. Xia Lin estimates that based on Song Yan’s current ranking, It will be a matter of time before entering the key class.

    In fact, Xia Lin both looked forward to and resisted Song Yan's transfer. The expectation was because he also hoped that Song Yan could really soar into the sky and get ahead; but he resisted because he was afraid that Song Yan's appearance would disturb his heart again.

    However, Song Yan hasn't appeared in the key class for a long time, and Xia Lin finally couldn't help but ask Zhou Shuo.

    Zhou Shuo told him that in fact, a teacher had handed out an olive branch to Song Yan before, but Song Yan refused. Song Yan said that he still stayed in the ordinary class at ease.

    After hearing this, Xia Lin was silent for a long time.

    He thought that the reason Song Yan refused to transfer to the key class might be because she didn't want to face him in the same class day and night, perhaps because she was reluctant to leave Yu Luotong alone in the normal class, or both.

    In May, the weather gradually became hot.

    Xia Lin’s birthday was on the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival, and the school had a day off to give the students a short vacation.

    However, this kind of holiday is just another place to review for senior high school students who are about to take the college entrance examination in more than half a month.

    That night, Xia Liang couldn't help but said that he dragged Xia Lin and Zhou Shuo out to eat Pizza Hut, which was considered a birth for Xia Linqing. My father and grandmother from abroad also called to wish him a happy birthday.

    The grandmother is in poor health and is recuperating in a foreign hospital all year round. While my father is with her grandmother, he takes care of the business abroad. He rarely has time to return to the country in a year. Usually, Xia Lin is disciplined through Xia Liang to convey instructions, so This time he called back and didn't say a few words to Xia Lin, and then transferred it to Xia Liang, telling him to urge his younger brother to review the college entrance examination.

    In this regard, Xia Lin has long been used to it.

    My mother died during childbirth when Xia Lin was born. Although my father didn't marry again, the woman outside was never broken. Xia Lin didn't have much affection for his father. Instead, he heard it on the phone. When grandma called him by name, her nose suddenly sore.

    In the last life, grandma died of illness a year after he came out of the closet at home.

    His father blamed his grandma's death, saying that he was angry with his grandma. But Xia Lin knew it was not. Grandma had always loved him very much. Even if he knew he was gay, she would not look down on him, otherwise she would not secretly leave him 10% of his shares as an inheritance.

    Grandma hoped to use this share to save his life, but in the end he failed to live past 28 years old. He felt that he was most sorry for his grandma.

    The meal suddenly became sad because of an ocean phone call.

    Seeing that Xia Lin was not in high spirits, Xia Liang thought he was concerned about reviewing things, so he didn't ask much, and drove them back after eating.

    Xia Lin returned home and took a shower, then went back to the bedroom and planned to continue doing the simulation rolls he hadn't finished before.

    But as soon as he sat down at the desk, he heard his cell phone ring.

    It's an unfamiliar number. Xia Lin didn't have the habit of answering unfamiliar calls. He thought it was a harassing call and planned to ignore it, but the other party seemed to be very persistent and called over and over again.

    Finally, Xia Lin answered helplessly: "Who?" There was

    silence on the other end of the phone, only the vague breathing sound was heard.

    Xia Lin frowned and asked again: "Who, please?" The

    other party still didn't speak.

    Just when Xia Lin was about to hang up, he heard the other party whisper: "Happy birthday."

    This voice was so familiar that he couldn't be more familiar, so that he was inexplicably suffocated.

    Before he could respond, the other party quickly hung up.

    Xia Lin held the phone for a while, only to remember that Song Yan's number was still on his blacklist.

    On Song Yan’s 18th birthday, Xia Lin drank a can of beer with him; and on Xia Lin’s 18th birthday, Song Yan could only send a blessing by making an anonymous call.

    Counting this way, he and Song Yan really have come to an end.

    Xia Lin sighed, rested his forehead on the edge of the table, and gently closed his eyes.
