I believe that in most people's youth, they have more or less witnessed or suffered from school bullying. Everyone often can't understand why they didn't provoke that group of people, but greeted them with a smile, and why they attracted inhumane bullying and beatings again and again.

I don't understand it either.

This is the third time Zhou Yi has come to ask me for protection money.

"Yang Bin, do you remember how you promised me last time?" Zhou Yi smiled and patted me on the shoulder, waiting for my answer. From an outsider's point of view, this is two good friends chatting normally. But to me, his smile made me tremble and tremble!

"Yi, Brother Yi, I really don't have that much money..........." I lowered my head and said tremblingly, I felt dizzy for a while before I finished speaking, and the next second I fell heavily on the cold concrete floor, knocking over a few tables and chairs by the way.

The sudden sound attracted the whole class, and everyone's eyes instantly focused on the two of us. From between Zhou Yi's legs, I saw that some people had sympathetic looks, some were indifferent, and some even took out their mobile phones and recorded them happily.

"What does this have to do with Lao Tzu?" Zhou Yi's eyes widened and he said viciously, "If your mother doesn't give you money, you will steal and rob it." If you still can't get a hundred yuan of protection money on Friday, I'll make you ugly in front of the whole school!" Zhou Yi waved his fist and left with the doglegs behind him. I was left curled up on the concrete floor, hopeless and helpless.

The class bell was the perfect time to end this farce, and I wanted to hold back my tears and quickly help up the table and chair, but the tears were like pearls with broken threads, and they gushed out of my eyes uncontrollably.

"Look, Yang Bin is crying!" I don't know who shouted, causing the class to burst into laughter, and I was once again reduced to a laughing stock.

"It's all in class, what are you still messing up?!The whole grade is the most chaotic in our class, and I heard you arguing when I was still in the office! Who is taking the lead?" Li Qi, the head teacher, threw down the materials and scolded angrily.

"Report, it's Yang Bin, he just said that he wanted to hide behind the door to scare you!" Wang Shuai, the fat man sitting behind me, pointed at me and shouted at Li Qi, for fear that Li Qi would not hear it.

"To the teacher, he also said that he wanted to take a picture of your scared appearance and make it into an emoji!" Wang Shuai's good friend Gao Lele also echoed. Speaking of their names, it's really ridiculous, Wang Shuai is 1.9 meters tall, but he weighs 240 pounds, which doesn't match his name at all. Gao Lele is only 1.5 meters tall, and it is not easy for them to play together.

"Yang Bin, I really can't see that you are still such a naïve person! Stand by the trash can for me! Call your parents after class!" Li Qi shouted angrily.

"Teacher Li, I don't have ..... It was they who slandered my ......" and the unrelieved pain in my body that made me cry bitterly.

"Why don't they slander others and slander you?" Li Qi raised his eyebrows and continued to shout, "You still have the face to cry? I really haven't taught you such a shameless child, let your parents come to school for me before school!"

At my age, calling a parent is definitely a very humiliating and scary thing. But Li Qi was already so angry that his face was red, and I didn't dare to say anything more, so I had to obediently get up and stand in the corner.

"Don't learn from him, you're all good boys. Speaking of this, Li Qi also paused deliberately and glanced at me. "Next, please turn the page to page 156......."

I couldn't listen to a word of what Li Qi said, and fear and anger took over my entire body. The time of the penalty station is always like a year, and finally, I survived until the end of class. I hesitated for a moment, but then took out my dad's newly bought phone for me and dialed it.

The familiar phone ringtone, I prayed to my mother not to answer, not to answer, but finally my mother's loud voice rang. "What's wrong, Binzi?"

My mother's voice once again broke my tear ducts, my snot and tears mixed together, and I couldn't even speak in my sobs. "What's the matter, Binzi, why are you crying?" my mother was also a little scared when she heard me crying, and hurriedly asked.

"The teacher asked you to come to school. After saying that, I immediately hung up the phone, not daring to listen to my mother's voice again.

"Yang Bin, why are you so cowardly? Obviously, they bullied you first, why can't you tell the truth to the teacher, but you have to hold it like this? And that Wang Shuai and Gao Lele, if you don't help, even if you don't help, you will still be beaten up, how can there be such a person in the world!" My front table is an ordinary-looking, kind-hearted girl named Lin Shishi. She was questioning me why I hadn't told the truth.

"Did Li Qi give me a chance to speak? Besides, she didn't believe it. Never mind. I smiled self-deprecatingly, admitting that I was being bullied in front of a girl is definitely a shameful thing, right?

"How can you forget it?! Zhou Yi, a person from the second class, can also come and bully the people of our third class? Why does no one in our class dare to go against him? You wait here, I'll go to the head teacher and tell her the truth of the matter!" Lin Shishi puffed up and got up to get ready to walk out of the class.

"Oh, don't..... Don't let my parents know that I was being bullied at school, they would worry about me. I said this almost in a choked and pleading tone. It's sad that a boy can do my point, right?

Wang Shuai's seat was right behind me. I took advantage of him to go to the toilet and plucked up the courage to spit on his table. After thinking about it, I took out a napkin and wiped it off. Because I am afraid of revenge, endless revenge. Now I just want to go and lie on the empty playground, I don't want to do anything, I don't want to think about it. So I got up, picked up my schoolbag and prepared to go downstairs. The office is just around the corner from the hallway. As I passed by the office, I clearly heard Li Qi's scolding from inside.

"What do you care about him? The whole class is very well-behaved, only your children can do such a ridiculous thing! I think you should talk to him about it, if he really doesn't want to learn, forget it......" I didn't hear what Li Qi said later, because I had already gone down the stairs and walked farther and farther.

It's still summer, and the blazing wind has been blowing past my ears, blowing my hair all the way. It was 600 meters from the school building to the playground, but I felt like I had only walked two meters, and I was there in the blink of an eye. The playground was empty, and the students who stayed on the basketball court to play basketball were scattered and went home. I found a corner, sat down slowly, and looked up at the sky. When I was a child, my grandmother told me that if you have a big problem in the future, just look up at the sky. The sky is so big, there is always room for your little troubles.

I really didn't have any interest, and when I looked at it, I was fascinated. I didn't realize until now that the sky was really beautiful. There are strange clouds on it, the sun about to set, and birds flying freely. Coupled with the warm breeze blowing slowly, I felt comfortable. As soon as I closed my eyes, I heard the sound of hurried footsteps in my ears.
