it happened to be english that day. lu yinxi’s pronunciation was not accurate, but the boy sitting behind her was a student who had returned from United Kingdom. lu yinxi listened to him read. after he finished a sentence, lu yinxi repeated it in her heart.
after the second class in the morning, there was a half an hour break. all the students had to go to the field to do exercise during the break.
lu yinxi stood in the middle of the class. she was neither short nor tall.
during the exercise break last night, lu yinxi had rushed to the bathroom. she was a little worried when she realized that she was on her period. she didn’t bring any sanitary pads. it wasn’t a lot, and it didn’t dirty her school uniform. she planned to borrow it from someone first.
so many years had passed, but lu yinxi was still a little autistic. she didn’t have any friends in school at all. she was only familiar with lu jingjing. lu yinxi found lu jingjing and told her about her difficulties.
lu jingjing didn’t take anything with her. she said, ” wait in the toilet. i’ll go and borrow it from someone. ”
lu yinxi went back to the toilet and continued to squat there.
lu jingjing only found the sanitary pad when the school bell rang. she handed it to lu yinxi and said anxiously, ” class is starting. this class is for the form teacher. i can’t be late. i’m leaving! ”
lu yinxi said thank you in a low voice.
when she was done with everything, she was ready to sneak into the classroom from the back so that she would not disturb the other students. the language teacher was in the middle of the class. she was a woman in her forties. when she saw lu yinxi quietly walk in from the back door, she suddenly put down her textbook.
“lu yinxi,” she stared at lu yinxi, who was still walking behind the crowd.
all the students turned to look at lu yinxi, who was at the back of the classroom.
lu yinxi stood where she was and looked up at the teacher.
“teacher li,” she called out softly.
teacher li frowned and asked her in a sullen tone, ” who allowed you to enter the classroom from the back? did i allow you to come in? shouldn’t he be reporting for class? you don’t even know these rules?”
lu yinxi’s grades were average in the class, and she was a quiet child. the teacher didn’t have a good impression of her.
lu yinxi was a little helpless at her accusation.
she clenched her fists and placed them in front of her.
lu yinxi said to teacher li, ” b-but the form teacher said that we don’t have to report if we’re late. he said that shouting for the report would affect his class and the other students ‘attention. ”
teacher li was stunned. when she saw that the other students were nodding, she knew that lu yinxi was telling the truth.
she couldn’t keep her face.
teacher li said coldly, ” but this is my class! in my class, if you’re late, you have to report!”
“oh.” lu yinxi was about to move closer to the desk when teacher li said, ” did i allow you to sit down? ”
lu yinxi stopped in her tracks and looked up at teacher li.
teacher li pointed at the door and said, ” go out and call for the report before coming in. ”
lu yinxi gritted her teeth and walked out in the end.
“reporting,” her voice was a little soft.
teacher li was still not satisfied. her brows furrowed even deeper. she asked lu yinxi, ” didn’t you eat? you’re so quiet.”
the students below all frowned at teacher li, feeling that she was a little overbearing.
lu yinxi stared at teacher li and didn’t call for a report. seeing that she still dared to stare at her, teacher li felt that her gaze made her uncomfortable. her face darkened and she asked, ” what’s wrong? are you dissatisfied with me?”
“reporting,” lu yinxi raised her voice.
teacher li looked at her deeply. she didn’t continue to make things difficult for lu yinxi, but she didn’t call her in either.
lu yinxi had been standing at the door for the entire class. after class, teacher li kept her textbooks and glanced at the students standing at the door. she said to the entire class, ” if anyone dares to be late for my class again, they will be punished to stand outside! ”
” your results are not good, and you don’t know how to work hard. aren’t you afraid of letting your parents down? ”
some of the students in the class knew about lu yinxi’s family situation. when they heard teacher li’s words, their faces turned ugly. lu yinxi only entered the classroom after teacher li left.
she was on her period, and her stomach was already a little uncomfortable. after standing for another period, she sat down and immediately sprawled on the table.
the deskmate on the right nudged her arm with a finger.
lu yinxi glanced at her deskmate and said listlessly, ” i’m not feeling well. i’m going to sleep for a few minutes. wake me up after class. ” anyway, her grades were not good, and the teacher thought that she was unmotivated, so she would just let it be.
she thought, a little discouraged.
however, her deskmate said, ” there’s a delivery for you. ”
lu yinxi was stunned.
express delivery?
how could she have the money to buy things online? lu yinxi could count the number of packages she had received in her life.
she endured her discomfort and stood up. the security guard was standing at the door. every morning after class, the security guard uncle would send the previous day’s package to each class.
today, the security guard had sent six or seven packages to their class. the other packages had all been taken away, leaving only one package. the box was rectangular and not very big.
lu yinxi picked up the delivery box. during class, she stared at the ” santa claus ” signature on the box in a daze.
when did she start receiving delivery from santa claus?
lu yinxi remembered that ever since her grandmother had passed away, she had received a present from santa claus every year on the day before her birthday. santa claus never left his address, and only her name and information were on the delivery form.
the other party knew her exact address, so he must be someone who knew her.
who was it?
lu yinxi didn’t think that they were her family.
in the past few years, the gifts that santa claus had given her were expensive and ordinary, but every one of them had been carefully thought out. lu yinxi remembered that she had received a beautiful bracelet the year before last. last year, when she was in grade one, she had received a pen with her name engraved on it. what would she receive this year?
lu yinxi opened the box.
she deliberately slowed down the process.
she had to carefully and slowly open santa’s present.
inside the box was a beautiful peach crystal hair clip. lu yinxi couldn’t help but smile. it was so beautiful, she thought. after school, lu yinxi carried her school bag with the hair clip and walked home.
when she passed by a small supermarket, she suddenly stopped in front of the reflective glass and did not move.
lu yinxi turned to face the glass. after thinking for a while, she let go of her tied hair. her hair reached her shoulders, and there were traces of it being tied often. lu yinxi carefully put the hair clip on her hair.
the hair clip glittered under the sun and looked especially beautiful.
lu yinxi looked at herself in the mirror. she had been scolded by teacher li in the morning and thought that it was useless to study hard. suddenly, she wanted to work hard and have the fighting spirit to be successful in the future.
she wanted to become better and not let ‘santa claus’ down!
