A calm, sunny morning.
Tang Yuanyuan was sitting in the classroom like countless ordinary days, listening to all kinds of boring lessons from the teacher, secretly fishing in his seat.
She held her face with one hand, and skillfully wrote and drew on the sketchbook with the pen in her other hand. The pencil lines outlined one human figure after another under her pen.
She drew page after page of this paper, until Tang Yuanyuan started writing again and felt that she couldn't think of any angles to draw. She quietly stopped writing, held her chin and turned the pages, her eyes scanning back and forth over the drawings on the paper. people.
"I remember he looked like this...but no matter how much I tried to draw him from other angles, I couldn't find any particularly obvious features."
What she painted was a young man she had met on the rooftop some time ago. He had a strange temperament and acted dangerously and illogically. But at that time, in order to save her classmates and delay time, she had no choice. I made a certain agreement with him, promising that I would pay the corresponding price to realize my wish...
She didn't know what the price she had to pay was, so she had been worried about it until today, but in fact she had never seen the shadow of the other party since that day.
She remembered him saying that he would come to pay for it soon, but she had not seen him again until today.
Could it be that everything that happened that day was just my dream or fantasy? Tang Yuanyuan looked at the countless clear images of young people he had drawn on the paper, and couldn't help asking himself this question for the tenth time.
But actually it was a good thing that it was really a dream, because then she wouldn't have to worry about her unfinished agreement.
With that in mind, she raised her eyes and glanced at Yan Shuya, who was sitting two rows in front of her, with a slightly subtle expression. In a daze, she seemed to still be able to see the shadow of the evil ghost still lingering around her body. The memory of that day was always It constantly stimulated her thoughts.
Whether it was the confrontation with the evil ghost, the agreement with the boy, or...the gentle kiss on her forehead.
Tang Yuanyuan sighed silently and turned to look out the window, lowered his eyes, raised his hand and gently touched his forehead.
The feeling at that time was so clear...it couldn't be a dream, right?
Tang Yuanyuan thought so, feeling a little helpless. To this day, she still hasn't figured out why the other party finally kissed her on the forehead.
She was worried at first whether this was some special spell, so after she returned she tried many ways to check it, but found that she didn't seem to be affected by it, so she gradually felt relieved.
But in contrast, the very act of kissing her forehead was even more bizarre to her.
She would always inexplicably think of that feeling, and she would always inexplicably recall the subtle scenes at that time. Such various feelings would inevitably make her think too much.
Tang Yuanyuan was still a young girl full of fantasies. It was actually the first time in fifteen years for her to be kissed even on the forehead by the opposite sex. Even if the other person was not a human being, she sometimes felt inexplicably romantic.
Therefore, she sometimes rarely gets wild thoughts, and she secretly feels that this is actually very similar to the opening of a common shojo manga, where a boy and a girl meet for the first time on a campus full of youthful atmosphere. At a critical moment, the boy helps the girl, and they get along with each other for a short time. They fell in love with each other at first sight, so they left a kiss as a promise to meet again, and began a sadistic love that spanned life and death...
It was so perfect that Tang Yuanyuan felt that he could start writing an excellent romantic Mary Sue love comic based on it right away.
But just as she was about to start writing, she suddenly heard the teacher's voice in the classroom.
"Classmate Tang Yuanyuan, please get up and answer how to translate this sentence."
"Yes!" Tang Yuanyuan responded instinctively, and then he came to his senses and looked at the dark-faced English teacher on the stage with embarrassment.
"Are you daydreaming?" the English teacher sneered, pushing up her glasses and slamming the electronic display board, which shocked Tang Yuanyuan, but she had no idea what the teacher had already said. There was no way to translate, so I could only glance at the display board and then stand awkwardly.
"When I was young, I wanted to be anybody but myself. I would have to accept myself, my warts and all. "
Fortunately, she didn't stand for a few seconds before she heard the kind and humane rescue call from her deskmate. She heard the sound and quickly repeated the answer without thinking. When the English teacher heard the correct answer, he glared at her and her deskmate Gu Yuan. , then rolled his eyes and waved his hand for her to sit down.
"Thank you, comrade, for saving your life!" Tang Yuanyuan whispered in Gu Yuan's ear the moment he sat down. Gu Yuan glanced at her helplessly and didn't say much, but when he turned his eyes back, he accidentally It fell on her drawing paper.
The face of the strange boy came into view. He was stunned for a moment, looked back and frowned slightly.
Who is that? He had some doubts in his heart. He always felt that this was not the first time he had seen that face in the past few days. Tang Yuanyuan seemed to be drawing that boy recently.
Originally, he thought that Tang Yuanyuan must have gotten into some new animation pit as before, and was just drawing new recommendations, but for some reason, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Because generally speaking, if she really saw something new and interesting to her, she would be talking about it to him crazily, right? They had been childhood sweethearts for fifteen years, and he knew Tang Yuanyuan's personality best.
So Gu Yuan stretched out his hand on the table and pointed at the young man drawn on Tang Yuanyuan's draft book, indicating to ask who it was.
Seeing that he was interested in his draft, Tang Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a smile: "Why, you are very interested in him? Aren't you usually not interested in anything I give you?" It turns out you like this one."
"..." When Gu Yuan heard this, he gave her a look that showed concern for children with intellectual disabilities, obviously full of disgust at her reaction.
"Oh, okay, I won't tease you anymore. That's the bad thing about you. You can't answer your jokes..." She withdrew her playful smile and shrugged at Gu Yuan, "It's just that I saw you a few days ago. He's just a bit entangled with someone...not a special guy."
As she spoke, she resumed writing and drawing on the paper, muttering:
"The main reason is that I asked him for a little help when we met...so I owe him something, but this has nothing to do with you, Master Gu..."
"You just owe him a favor? Is it worth filling your drafts with him for several days? Aren't you interested in him?"
Tang Yuanyuan said to himself that what I owe is more than a simple favor, while looking at Gu Yuan with a sad look on his face, he said regretfully:
"Although I admit that I like handsome guys, I'm not superficial enough to fall in love at first sight... It's all just because of lust!"
You can joke and daydream, but in fact, even if she, Tang Yuanyuan, jumped from here and died outside, she would not have the kind of feelings for ghosts because of this kind of thing... Well, not to mention her relationship with him The encounter is not a particularly romantic memory.
Moreover, she often feels a little complicated when dealing with those beings.
In fact, Tang Yuanyuan had many things taken away by ghosts. When she was six years old, her grandmother, who was the closest to her, disappeared due to a ghost incident and was never heard from again. When she was seven years old, her mother was involved in a... An accident caused by people under the influence of ghosts caused the accident. Since then, my father has been busy in the capital all year round, while my grandfather returned to his original home and has been waiting for news about his grandma.
After Tang Yuanyuan lived with her grandfather for several years, due to various considerations, she returned to the downtown area from her old home alone when she was twelve years old. Since then, she has lived alone.
It is difficult to say that life without the protection of her family is smooth sailing. Although she does not have to worry about finances, Tang Yuanyuan often encounters troubles related to ghosts and ghosts, and she often gets into trouble because of some behaviors that may seem weird to outsiders. Being treated like a freak.
Therefore, she was often ostracized or deliberately kept away from others since she was a child. Many times, she often heard a lot of gossip about her from other people behind her back... These were just the most trivial things that ghosts brought to her life. .
Although she doesn't hate all ghosts "equally" because of this, she often wants to stay away from those existences as much as possible.
So although she would occasionally joke about "spending her life with ghosts", she didn't really have such an idea.
"Although I always like to watch this kind of forbidden love... But when it comes to myself, it's hard for me to imagine being with ghosts... Hmm..." She said to herself He muttered a few words, lowered his eyes and looked at the person on the drawing paper, slowly shaking the mechanical pencil in his hand.
Tang Yuanyuan's low murmur was heard by Gu Yuan, and he sighed: "You still believe in those things."
Tang Yuanyuan smiled and did not answer when he heard this, and sighed secretly in his heart.
Gu Yuan has always been doubtful about Tang Yuanyuan's "can see ghosts", but after many years, he is still more willing to believe that those things are just Tang Yuanyuan's nonsense.
"Oh...I don't want to believe it if I could..."
She muttered something in a low voice with a helpless smile. Just as she was about to let the topic go as usual, she suddenly heard a familiar yet unfamiliar voice ringing in her ears.
"It's a shame you don't have that option."
Tang Yuanyuan suddenly raised his head when he heard the sound, and the next moment he met a pair of red eyes with a hint of joking.
The young man she had met a few days ago sat on his desk at some point. He turned sideways and smiled at her, with blue flames dancing behind him.
"Ah... the wronged soul has appeared..." Tang Yuanyuan said this instinctively, but immediately felt a little regretful after saying it, worried about angering the other party, but the latter unexpectedly turned around with a good-tempered look, She didn't seem to care much about what she just said.
"You are really unkind to the contractor. No, you are quite brave when facing your creditors."
Tang Yuanyuan looked at his eyes, smiled, and said softly: "Well...because I think this deal is probably not that dangerous, right?"
She wanted to say something more, but Gu Yuan held her forehead in the next second.
"Are you okay? You've been mumbling expressively to yourself since the beginning."
At this moment, the bell rang for the end of get out of class, the familiar sound of music came to my ears, and the sound of rustling started again in the classroom.
"Well..." Tang Yuanyuan finally came back to his senses and realized that he was still sitting in the classroom. For a while, all the eyes of the students around him were focused on Tang Yuanyuan.
No. 4 was still sitting on her desk, looking at her without saying a word.
"Uh." She felt a little embarrassed after realizing it, and quickly explained, "I was a little dizzy just now... I probably had a cold and was hallucinating!"
Tang Yuanyuan grabbed Gu Yuan's hand and put it down, then threw himself back on the table, listening to the noisy discussion in his ears.
"Did that guy see something again?"
"Every time she talks to those unclean things, nothing good happens."
"Didn't she tell someone something last time and something happened?"
"I heard that Yan Shuya, who was close to her before, was also possessed and wanted to commit suicide."
"It's so scary. She also said she just wanted to help people... maybe she was the one who caused those ghosts."
"Shh, keep your voice down..."
Such words that he had heard a thousand times echoed in his ears again. Tang Yuanyuan felt a little uncomfortable, but he still moved his body and continued to lie on the table as if nothing had happened.
The gossip in her ears did not stop easily. After lying down for a while, she finally felt a little helpless and upset, and suddenly stood up again.
Tang Yuanyuan turned to Gu Yuan and said, "I don't feel very well. Go to the infirmary. Please help me tell the teacher." Then he ignored No. 4, who was still sitting on the desk, and walked out alone. The gossip continued to echo. classroom.
But she actually had no intention of going to the infirmary, she just wanted to go alone and get some fresh air.
In addition, now that the creditor has come to the door, she has to find a way to solve the problem of price. Rather than talking to ghosts in the classroom and disturbing others and then being treated as a lunatic, she is more willing to lure the other person out.
As for the class bell that is about to ring, it is not something she needs to consider at all. Anyway, she does not miss class once or twice when encountering such emergencies. She will always solve it with various reasons. Considering that her grades are not bad Yes, she was in the top few and it still had a small relationship, so the teacher could only turn a blind eye most of the time, and at most she said that she had too many things to do.
With this idea in mind, Tang Yuanyuan was walking on the corridor between classrooms while thinking about where to go. There were neither too many nor too few secluded places on campus, but she hoped to find someone who was with No. 4. A place where you can save yourself even if there is an unexpected situation during the conversation....
She walked so absent-mindedly, not paying much attention to the movements of the people around her, and not caring whether No. 4 was following behind. She just relied on instinct to avoid the people walking in the corridor, until she reached the corridor. Suddenly, as he turned the corner, he bumped into someone holding a large stack of books.
After she noticed it, she instinctively wanted to dodge sideways, but as she was trying to avoid the falling books, she stumbled and bumped into the old and damaged corner of the wall behind her.
The pain suddenly hit her, but she didn't pay much attention to it. When she turned around and stood still, the first thing she did was to apologize to the person holding the book in a slightly panic and embarrassment, and squat down to help him pick up the scattered books. book.
And just when Tang Yuanyuan picked up a stack of books and put them back in the other person's hands, she suddenly noticed a scratched wound on her fingertips.
