In Anqiao City in 2011, there were only 60 days left before the countdown to the college entrance examination.
In the Yaohong College Entrance Examination Repeat Center, in Class 10 of Science, it was time for morning reading.
As usual, Chen Nian put on his headphones after arriving in the classroom and was doing the listening test attentively.
Chen Nian is actually a fresh graduate. The reason why she went to a repeat school was mainly because the previous school had insufficient teachers, and she directly set Qingbei as her college entrance examination goal, so she chose to come here.
This has to mention her family background. Her mother Zhou Lei had no money to repay the loan because her investment failed, so she could only carefully hide at home to avoid creditors who were pursuing debts.
All her mother's hopes were pinned on her, so Chen Nian's study pressure was actually very high. For her, the college entrance examination could even be regarded as a failure or failure.
But it may be precisely because of these experiences that she has become more resilient.
At least that's what it looks like on the surface, and he can basically focus on the things around him.
Since it has nothing to do with you, just hang up.
In fact, many people in the senior high school graduating class are like this, because the concept that has been instilled in everyone is that reading, exams, and the college entrance examination are everything, and everything is a trivial matter in front of this.
Apart from--
boom!
The sudden change not only caused everyone in the class to temporarily put aside their studies, but also alarmed the attentive Chen Nian.
She took off her earphones and looked over in confusion. After much hesitation, she seemed to realize something and finally stood up.
She followed the others and lay down on the fence and glanced down. That single glance made her pupils shrink slightly and her heart tightened. Then she turned around and ran down hastily.
Until she came downstairs, when everyone else acted as if it had nothing to do with them, taking photos with their phones, watching, or discussing in the class group, she endured the crying that she had been holding back all the way. In the slightly surprised eyes of everyone, he walked towards the place where the audience was focused.
"Put away your cell phones and keep them all in the room."
A familiar voice came to his ears, but Chen Nian ignored it. He took off his school uniform jacket, took a deep breath, squatted down and slowly put it on for her.
She thought that she didn't want everyone to see her like this.
A tear that had been brewing for a long time finally slipped from her cheek. She looked up and through the reddish pupils, she saw faces that looked like they were fine.
No, it also includes this kind of thing.
…
Although someone jumped off the building and a fresh life was lost, learning still has to continue, and the school will not be greatly affected. Teachers and students are still performing their monotonous and repetitive mechanical movements every day.
Chen Nian also seemed to have forgotten about this matter. She went home, went to school, and went to the first line at two o'clock until the morning self-study. The teacher called her to the office and met the police who came to investigate yesterday's classmate Hu Xiaodie's suicide by jumping off the building.
After some questioning, the class bell rang. When Chen Nian returned to the classroom, he saw a pool of red liquid on his seat that looked like blood, but was more turbid and dazzling than blood.
This reminded her of the same thing that happened to Hu Xiaodie before.
At that time, she chose to sit down and silently accepted it all.
At that time, Chen Nian was just a spectator, but not long after that, Hu Xiaodie - what happened yesterday.
Now, she has changed from a spectator to a participant, and she no longer has the mentality of being a person who can do nothing.
Chen Nian looked up and looked around the classroom. No one could answer her questions, and no one would calm her fears.
Until the arrival of the head teacher, the head teacher just regarded this as an ordinary prank. It seemed to him that this was just a harmless joke for children, just like some boys like to pull girls' suspenders from behind, and some girls like to use pens. Like poking someone.
The only difference is that the latter may really not be that serious, while the former is something they think is not serious.
Even when the conversation finally changed, he implicitly criticized Chen Nian for not knowing how to maintain a good relationship with classmates, as if the victim was also guilty.
Chen Nian looked indifferent. After hearing the previous words, what she said next was not important to her, not to mention that she originally didn't want to make any noise due to family reasons.
When eating in the school cafeteria at noon, Chen Nian stood in line silently holding a dinner plate.
She still wears headphones, not because the sound inside is so good, but because it is the only way to isolate her from the world.
But even though she was so low-key and calm, she still couldn't avoid being stared at.
"Did your ranking rise again this week?"
Chen Nian had actually noticed the other party's arrival a long time ago. There was no one she wanted to see in this school, but there were definitely people she wanted to avoid, namely these girls in front of her.
The speaker's name was Wei Lai, and he looked enthusiastic, but in Chen Nian's eyes, he avoided him.
Because this is a good child in the eyes of teachers and parents and a very beautiful girl in the eyes of classmates. Only Chen Nian knows what the other side of her is like.
It also included the truth about the Hu Xiaodie incident, but she knew she couldn't tell it.
If she speaks out, she will also become the target of the other party.
Even after seeing the same red liquid on the chair, she realized that she had been targeted by them.
Her first reaction was to avoid it, but it wasn't that easy.
Even when the other party spoke, she had to put on a listening attitude.
Wei Lai casually took off the earphones on this side, with a smile on his pretty face, as if his relationship with Chen Nian was really good, and he said again: "Why did you do so well in the exam recently? Do you want to do homework together after school?"
Chen Nian's eyes flashed and his face wavered, but he still firmly shook his head to express his rejection.
"Is it really not possible? I have several English questions that I would like to ask you..."
"I don't have time..." Chen Nianqiang responded with a smile. She regretted it now. She just wanted to escape from here and didn't want to eat anything.
If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come here, or I would have starved.
"Don't have time? Do you really have no time, or do you just don't want to waste time on you?" The other girl next to him didn't know whether she was deliberately trying to cooperate or if she wanted to provoke Wei Lai's anger.
Wei Lai bumped into her and defended Chen Nian: "Don't talk nonsense, Chen Nian is not that stingy. She is a good person and is very kind to her classmates."
There is an accent on the word "special", coupled with the slightly sinister smile. Maybe other uninformed people would look at it with disapproval, but in Chen Nian's eyes, it only felt terrifying.
She understood what the other party meant, and what he said was both sinister and threatening.
At this time, Wei Lai asked back, "Is that so, Chen Nian?" Then before Chen Nian could answer, she took out her mobile phone and smiled at Chen Nian: "Look here, I'll take a picture for you... …”
Snap!
Wei Lai's words came to an abrupt end. The hand holding the phone was knocked away by a figure that had just hit him. He let go weakly for a moment, and the phone also fell to the ground.
That was all. The figure took a step back and accidentally stepped on her phone.
Although he couldn't hear it clearly in the noise around him, Wei Lai seemed to be able to hear the sound of something breaking in his ears.
Then I saw clearly the appearance of the boy in front of me...
