Chapter 220 Recruiting Thieves?
Shu Zhi's results surprised her. She had already studied the material and had the help of a systematic approach, which allowed her to get a perfect score. Shu Zhi, on the other hand, got a perfect score in all subjects except Chinese and English, which were not perfect.
At lunchtime, Li Xiaonuan and Jian hope were even more excited than Lin Xi and Shu Zhi, who had ranked first and second in the exam.
"Xiaoxi, you're amazing! You answered the questions so fast and even got a perfect score! You know what? I thought you found the test paper too boring and just gave up."
"My God, I've never seen anyone answer questions so fast! Even if you just gave me the answers, I couldn't copy them all down. Don't you need to think?"
Lin Xi wiped the rice grains from the corner of her mouth for her, "Okay, okay, everyone is great."
"Of course, Shu Zhi is amazing too, she's really hiding her true abilities!"
Shu Zhi smiled shyly, "I don't have any hobbies. Besides studying, I don't have much else to do."
Jian hope sighed, "Sigh, I'm the worst student among us. I'm always too busy playing basketball."
Li Xiaonuan patted her shoulder, "It's okay, we're not that different. I usually use my time for painting."
Just then, a boy walked over from the opposite side. "Hello, I'm Lin Zihao from Class 2 of Grade 11. Are you Lin Xihe and Shu Zhi?"
He looked at Lin Xi and Shu Zhi with an arrogant expression. Shu Zhi was not usually talkative with outsiders, so she just nodded.
Lin Xi disliked his attitude and asked coldly, "What do you want?"
“Starting tomorrow, you,” he pointed to Lin Xi, then to Shu Zhi, “or you, tutor me. I can pay you a hundred per hour.”
Lin Xi rolled her eyes. Where did this idiot come from? "Sorry, I don't have time."
Shu Zhi didn't like this person either, so she shook her head and continued eating.
"You think one hundred is too little?" The boy held up two fingers. "How about two hundred?"
Lin Xi frowned. "It has nothing to do with money. I won't make up for it no matter how much money it costs."
A boy behind him shouted, "Haha, Zihao, two hundred an hour, how about I make it up to you?"
"Come on, with grades like yours, you want to tutor me? You don't even deserve it."
"Tch, even if I'm not good, I'm still better than you. Someone like you doesn't deserve to be tutored by the top two students in the school! Don't drag them down with you!"
Seemingly feeling he couldn't back down, he banged on Lin Xi's table and gritted his teeth, saying, "Three hundred! Will you make up for it or not?"
Li Xiaonuan slammed her hand on the table and said, "Are you sick? I've already said no compensation, no compensation. Who are you trying to scare with money? You think you're so great just because you have a few bucks?"
Lin Xi ate her meal slowly and deliberately, too lazy to pay attention to the little brat. "Go away, don't disturb our meal."
The boy's face turned red with anger. He snorted and stormed back to his desk. His close friends patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Come on, just ask our class's top tutor. It'll be the same thing."
Lin Zihao shook his head. How could that be the same? He wanted to find the best tutor. If he didn't have to live at school, his mother would have found him the best tutor.
This was just a minor incident, and Lin Xi and the others didn't take it to heart.
Lin Xi, in particular, immediately forgot about it. Today was a good day; she could draw a prize when she got home. She wondered what gift Xiao Yi would give her this time.
After school, she took out her scooter and scootered home in just a few minutes. Without even saying goodbye to Lin Guiying, she rushed into her room and got everything ready.
A toy gun appears in his hand, and a wealth of knowledge about shooting automatically floods his mind.
This was her reward: a seemingly childish handgun and a sharpshooter's training manual.
The pistol can simulate various gun models, has unlimited bullets, and has no lethality, but its feel and recoil are no different from a real pistol.
Lin Xi stared blankly at the toy gun in her hand, her face showing no surprise, only worry. "Xiao Yi, will something happen to Second Senior Brother?"
Although it's called a lottery, Xiao Yi always prepares the things she needs most in advance.
But she doesn't need a pistol right now, so she has to think about whether she might need it in the future.
The only person she could think of was her second senior brother from Country H.
"Host, don't worry, your second senior brother will be fine."
Lin Xi was relieved. That made sense; her second senior brother had taken the Vajra Pill, so he was definitely not in any danger.
The rest will be dealt with as they come.
After dinner, Lin Xi taught Lin Guiying some new training methods and let her practice on her own, while she practiced disassembling and aiming guns based on her knowledge of firearms.
This thing looks like a cheap plastic pistol, but it has all the necessary parts inside. With my photographic memory, I quickly became familiar with all the parts of the gun.
After repeated practice, she was able to assemble the parts with her eyes closed after half an hour.
Lin Guiying smiled with satisfaction as she watched her granddaughter play with a toy gun.
That's rare! Now that's more like a child. So Xiaoxi likes things that boys play with. Should I buy Xiaoxi a toy car that she can drive?
Both of them were so focused that they didn't notice Lin Guojun, who was hunched over, quietly slipping out of the house.
When Lin Dayuan returned home late at night, he found that not only was there no leftover food in the refrigerator, but even the half-jar of pickled vegetables was gone, which made him very suspicious.
Did Mom not see the note? Or did she deliberately not leave me any food? I haven't done anything wrong lately, have I? All I did was come home a little late.
Out of necessity, I ate instant noodles for another day and left another note: "Mom, please include some for me when you cook dinner tonight, thank you." It was followed by three exclamation marks.
However, after eating instant noodles for four consecutive days, he felt abandoned by his family.
The next day, unusually, I didn't go to the store early. I sat on the sofa, fuming, waiting for everyone to get up.
Lin Guiying stomped her legs as she went downstairs, while Lin Xi rubbed her arms in a stomping voice.
The two of them practiced splits and gun handling every day, experiencing both pain and joy.
"Hey, Da Yuan, what are you doing here?"
"Hey Dad, what are you doing here?"
The two spoke almost simultaneously, and before Lin Dayuan could say anything, Lin Guojun came out, looking somewhat flustered, "Hey, Dayuan, what are you still doing here?"
Lin Dayuan was on the verge of tears, feeling as if he had seen this scene before.
"Mom, tell me what I did wrong, please don't stop feeding me! I've been eating instant noodles for four days straight!"
Lin Guiying was taken aback. "What are you saying? When have I ever stopped feeding you? All that leftover food every night gets eaten by the dog?"
"Mom, you didn't leave me any food at all! The refrigerator is cleaner than my face every night."
"Impossible! We have at least four dishes and a soup every day, how could we possibly finish them all?"
Waaaaah, four dishes and a soup, so blissful!
Both of them felt they were more wronged than Dou E.
"Mom, why would I lie to you? Would I choose to eat instant noodles instead of a good meal?"
Lin Xi walked to the kitchen, glanced at the trash can, and said, "Grandma, there are instant noodle packets in there. Dad, did you really not see the vegetables?"
Lin Dayuan nodded pitifully.
Lin Guiying slapped her forehead, "Oh no, we've really been robbed! They've stolen our leftovers!"
Lin Xi found it outrageous; what kind of thief would leave a room full of antiques and steal leftovers instead?
