Lin Hao
The next day was the weekend. Lin Hao and Li Si sat at the writing desk, preparing to continue reviewing their lessons.
Li Si seemed unable to sit still from the very start; he kept twisting his body, his eyes glancing toward the window from time to time, his mind completely off his studies.
"Li Si, be serious." Lin Hao frowned slightly and said sternly.
Li Si pouted and complained in a low voice: "Hao Ge, you won't even let a person rest on the weekend. I was thinking of going out to play."
Lin Hao explained patiently: "The midterm exam is coming up soon; you need to seize the time to review. Didn't you want to wipe out your past shame? Do you want to keep being looked down on by Cheng Miaomiao and Hu Qiumin?"
Li Si recalled the scene where he had been mocked by Cheng Miaomiao and Hu Qiumin before, gritted his teeth, and said: "Fine, I'll study seriously. But this knowledge is so hard; Hao Ge, you have to teach me well."
Lin Hao nodded and began using various methods to explain the knowledge points to Li Si. Sometimes he gave examples to make abstract knowledge vivid and concrete; sometimes he asked guiding questions to stimulate Li Si's thinking. "Look at this problem; if you think about it this way..." Lin Hao explained patiently.
Under Lin Hao's efforts, Li Si gradually immersed himself in his studies and was no longer so restless.
On the other side, Cheng Yaya had gone out in a great rush early in the morning without even eating breakfast. She said she was going to school to help the teacher print the high school midterm exam papers; Cheng Miaomiao noticed at once, grabbed a steamed bun, and followed along.
Along the way, Cheng Miaomiao tailed Cheng Yaya carefully, not daring to make a sound. She would hide behind a tree one moment, then slow her pace the next, afraid of being discovered by Cheng Yaya.
After Cheng Yaya entered the school, Cheng Miaomiao sneaked in after her. Cheng Yaya went to the printing room and started helping print the exam papers. Cheng Miaomiao waited anxiously outside for an opportunity.
Finally, Cheng Yaya took a stack of exam papers to the restroom. Cheng Miaomiao followed her into the men's restroom without hesitation and got the exam papers as she wished.
Cheng Miaomiao ran home full of joy, but she did not see that after she left, Cheng Yaya revealed a triumphant smile.
After a long and tense day of studying, in the evening Lin Hao finally mercifully let Li Si out to get some air.
Li Si stretched with a sense of relief, walked out of the room with excitement all over his face, looking as cheerful as a little bird that had regained its freedom.
Just then, Cheng Miaomiao came rushing over to find Li Si.
She mysteriously pulled a notebook from her schoolbag, quickly handed it to Li Si, and said in a lowered voice: "Li Si, this has the midterm exam answers written on it; you mustn't tell anyone. This is my secret weapon."
Li Si looked at Cheng Miaomiao with a face full of suspicion, his brows furrowing slightly.
"Are you kidding me? How could this possibly be the midterm exam answers? Where did you get this thing?" Li Si questioned while flipping through the notebook.
Cheng Miaomiao, however, was full of confidence and swore it was absolutely real. With hands on hips and chin raised, she said: "Believe it or not, this is something I got with great difficulty. Absolutely reliable; just wait and see."
Just as Li Si was flipping through the notebook with a heart full of doubt, Lin Hao walked out again in a leisurely manner.
He looked at Cheng Miaomiao with a calm gaze and said slowly: "Miaomiao, I heard the teacher got some ninth-grade students to help print exam papers; you got the exam papers from Yaya, didn't you?"
Hearing this, Cheng Miaomiao was instantly shocked, her eyes widening, her face full of disbelief as she asked: "Hao Ge, how do you know everything? Do you have thousand-mile eyes and wind-accompanying ears?"
Lin Hao did not answer her; he merely shook his head slightly, then turned and walked toward Niu Lingling's restaurant.
However, his steady voice still carried over: "Cheng Miaomiao, from childhood to now, when have you not been played around by Cheng Yaya? This time, do you dare trust the exam papers?"
Hearing these words, Cheng Miaomiao froze on the spot, standing there blankly with a conflicted expression on her face. She began to waver in her heart, constantly pondering Lin Hao's words.
Li Si, upon hearing this, also felt Lin Hao made sense. He handed the notebook back to Cheng Miaomiao and said seriously: "I think Hao Ge is right; yours is unreliable. If the teacher finds out, it'll be terrible. Let's just rely on our own ability to take the exam."
Hearing this, Cheng Miaomiao immediately said disgruntledly: "Fine, don't believe it; when I get a high score, don't be jealous. Hmph!"
Finished speaking, she turned and left in a huff. Li Si watched Cheng Miaomiao's retreating figure and hurriedly chased after her to explain; the two figures gradually grew distant.
Lin Hao was halfway there when the mission to save the Yuan Shanqing sisters suddenly surfaced in his mind. He tried hard to recall the situation regarding the Yuan Shanqing sisters, especially Yuan Shanqing's younger sister Yuan Shanzi. He remembered that Yuan Shanzi had burned her ears with a fever when she was little.
But now, he did not know whether this event had already happened.
As for Yuan Shanqing's father Yuan Yong, Lin Hao still had some impression in his memory; after all, everyone lived nearby. Relying on his vague memory, Lin Hao slowly made his way over.
The family compound in the evening was exceptionally lively, with quite a few people around. In this era, the treatment of oil workers was considered quite good. Plus, the evening was cooler, so there were really quite a few people out and about.
Along the way, Lin Hao ran into many familiar people. After all, Lin Hao's reputation in the vicinity was not small. Orphaned from a young age yet always ranking first in his grade, such a child was naturally the focus of parents' discussions and of educating their own children.
Lin Hao walked all the way and finally arrived near Yuan Shanqing's home. He happened to see Yuan Shanqing bringing her younger sister to play downstairs as well.
Lin Hao did not approach immediately but sat to one side and quietly observed for a while.
He carefully observed Yuan Shanzi's behavior and discovered that Yuan Shanzi should not yet have burned her ears with a fever; it seemed everything was still in time.
At this moment, Yuan Shanzi saw other children eating lollipops and cried and fussed wanting to eat.
Yuan Shanqing looked at her younger sister helplessly, felt her pocket, and discovered she had no money to buy any.
She could only coax her sister: "Shanzi, be good; we won't eat lollipops. When big sister has money, I'll buy you some." But what does a little kid care about that? Not getting a lollipop, she just cried nonstop.
Lin Hao saw this and rejoiced inwardly; wasn't this an opportunity arriving?
He immediately stood up, went to the small shop next door to buy two lollipops, and walked over quickly. He handed the lollipops to Yuan Shanqing, who waved her hands repeatedly and said: "No need, thank you, I can't accept."
But Lin Hao would take no refusal; he directly unwrapped one lollipop and stuffed it into Yuan Shanzi's mouth. Yuan Shanzi immediately stopped crying and smiled while eating the lollipop. Seeing this, Yuan Shanqing could only say thank you with a red face.
