Chapter 3 / School Grass Characters
Soon it was class day again.
The crisp air of the early morning is soaked in the hazy mountain fog, the flowing mist covers the distant mountains and remote forests, a few rays of sunlight shine through the layers of treetops in the mist on the green grass next to the path in front of the door, and the sporadic morning dew reflects the figure of Yin Shixue.
Yin Shixue only felt a slight chill, and stood in front of the door for a long time, as if she was thinking about something, she changed into a school uniform today, her black hair still covered her side face, but her red lips and bright eyes were clearly visible.
This time, without her father to drive her to school, she had to wake up half an hour early to cycle to the city and then take the bus. For Yin Shixue, going to school is simply a kind of torture, at school is not as poetic and free as at home, the relationship between her and her classmates is not very good, so there will always be some dramatic things that happen uncontrollably, and this "not very good" relationship seems to be intensifying, as for why the classmates in the class don't want to see her, it may be because of her more withdrawn personality? Or there are deeper reasons, even Yin Shixue herself can't figure it out. In this regard, it is not a fear of going to school, but a little disgust.
There is a girl named Jiang Yuanyuan in the class, with a high nose bridge, a full forehead, and likes to tie a ponytail, every time she smiles at Shi Xue, she always coldly pulls the corners of her mouth, and she is always followed by a group of henchmen who sneer at Yin Shixue all day long, and tease her every once in a while, and Yin Shixue's silence and never resist breeds their arrogance even more. Probably because the teacher arranged for Yin Shixue to be the representative of the math class as the group leader, as a class leader, she has never been in charge of things, and she will not remind them of the homework assigned by the teacher in class, nor will she take the initiative to collect homework, how much homework is handed over to her, she will send as much as she wants to the office, the teacher asked her why so many people do not hand in homework, she said "I didn't write" and "I don't know" , Many students are always called to the office for ideological and political classes, sometimes their homework is not written, blame Yin Shixue for not being notified in place, saying that she is scheming, selfish, and pretentious, gradually, their opinions on Yin Shixue are getting bigger and bigger, and they don't like what she does, Yin Shixue still remembers Jiang Yuanyuan standing up in class and saying to the teacher confidently" Teacher, Yin Shixue is not suitable to be a class representative at all, she only cares about herself and never helps her classmates, and she does not notify us of the assignments she assigns, nor does she remind us to hand in our homework. β
"Teacher, I agree with Jiang Yuanyuan's statement"
"Teacher, I also agree"
The two Lu Yimei and Zuo Yun, who played well with Jiang Yuanyuan, also stood up.
Yin Shixue thought that the teacher would criticize herself because of this, but she didn't expect the teacher to say to Jiang Yuanyuan, "Writing homework and handing in homework is your own business, do you still have to let others remind you? Why don't you let Yin Shixue eat for you? If you don't care about your own affairs, you still have reason to blame others." β
"But the representatives of other classes will remind ......", Jiang Yuanyuan did not relent, and struggled to the death.
"It's because you have this mentality that you take it for granted, think more about whether it's your own problem, and don't make any excuses for not handing in your homework......" The teacher held the podium with one hand and pointed at them with the other and yelled at them, spitting and occasionally holding the glasses on the bridge of his nose that were unstable due to anger.
That day, the teacher lost her temper, Jiang Yuanyuan and the others looked aggrieved, and they glanced at her with that kind of resentment from time to time, while she was silent and didn't say a word, just felt that it was so noisy and noisy, and she really wanted to quiet the world......
Later, she took the initiative to tell the teacher that she was not the class representative, and the teacher probably understood that in order to comply with the public opinion, she also changed another person to be the class representative, his name is Peng Yichen, a character who Jiang Yuanyuan and they called the school grass level.
Never tried to understand this person, sometimes she also suspected that she was a cold-blooded animal, otherwise why when all the girls coveted Peng Yichen and screamed again and again, she never looked at him seriously, and occasionally when they met, she just avoided it coldly, without any words or expressions, of course, she couldn't see his expression clearly, the only intersection between her and Peng Yichen was that day, when she ran laps in physical education class, I don't know who pushed her hard behind her back, without any defense, her body lost her center of gravity and lost her balance, and she fell forward suddenly......, her knees were broken, and she was bleeding a lot, and it hurt a lot, some people stopped to look at her but were indifferent, some whispered, and some continued to run forward when they didn't see it, at this time she felt a sturdy figure squatting down next to her and picked her up horizontally and walked in the direction of the infirmary, she felt that his hands were so powerful and so reassuring, she looked up at him against the sun, the bright sunlight outlined his well-defined side face, the bridge of his nose was high, his eyes looked firmly at the road ahead, and she could see even the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and from then on, she only remembered his side faceHowever, since that day, Jiang Yuanyuan and the others have intensified their efforts to rectify her.
When the girls in the class heard that the representative of the math class was replaced by Peng Yichen, they all exploded, and when they saw their excited expressions, even Yin Shixue herself felt that their previous efforts to make a big fuss in the class in order not to let her be the representative of the math class were worth it.
"Teacher, you're not joking, aren't you", Peng Yichen's lazy voice floated in, and all the girls took this opportunity to observe his face, while Yin Shixue looked at the front motionless like a stone sculpture, as if everything had nothing to do with her.
The teacher ignored Peng Yichen at all or said that there was no room for negotiation, so he only threw away the sentence "Come to my office after class" and then started the class.
From then on, every morning when she collected her homework, Peng Yichen would walk up to her, support her desk with both hands, and then began to flip through her homework book, she didn't know what he wanted to do, she continued to lower her head without saying a word, her long black hair covered her side face, she could see Peng Yichen's well-jointed fingers wandering in her homework book......
"Where's the wrong corrected notebook?" he suddenly spoke, and his voice was very good.
She lowered her head and didn't look at him the whole time, and slowly reached into the drawer of the desk and took out another notebook and put it in front of him, which was considered to answer his words.
"It's so ugly," he said, flipping through her homework! Of course, his words didn't arouse any emotion from her! She was still calm without any ripples.
He took her homework and left.
"Hurry up and hand in your homework, if you don't hand it in, you will be treated as if you didn't write", Peng Yichen's voice came from behind her.
As soon as she looked up, she saw Jiang Yuanyuan and the others staring at her with resentful eyes, she glanced back at them lightly, without timidity or resentment, so calm that even she herself was surprised.
In this way, Peng Yichen would come to her in person for several days to collect her homework, and by the way, he would say a few words to her, most of which were innocuous or disgusting words, such as how to make so many questions wrong, why she was five minutes late, of course, her answer was always "um", "ah", "oh", or a long silence.
She doesn't like this kind of special "treatment", which will make her the public enemy of the whole class of girls, she doesn't like Jiang Yuanyuan to take a group of girls in front of her every day to scold her and say that she is a mute or even more ugly, she still hopes that the world is peaceful......
So Yin Shixue would try to come early every morning, and prepare the homework book before Peng Yichen entered the classroom, when she saw him leisurely walking into the classroom and sitting on the seat, she immediately walked over with the homework book, she tried not to look at his eyes, and calmly put the homework in front of him, Peng Yichen didn't even have time to put the schoolbag in the drawer...... Yin Shixue obviously felt that he was stunned at first, and then kept looking at her, which made Yin Shixue have to look up into his eyes, she finally saw his entire outline clearly, which was liked by many girls to the point that she didn't know how to describe such a look, she didn't know how to describe such a look, she didn't know how long they looked at each other, but his eyes didn't mean to leave her, and in the end, Yin Shixue first moved his attention elsewhere to avoid his eyes.
"The homework is here, I'll go first", Yin Shixue tried her best to raise her voice a little bit, for the first time, she said so much to him.
She calmly turned around and left, without haste or hesitation......
Despite this, Yin Shixue still couldn't avoid Jiang Yuanyuan's entanglement, that day they were full of chalk ash and tried their best to pour it on her, she was choked by the chalk ash and coughed up tears and they actually laughed very happily, the indifference of people's hearts is probably like this, Yin Shixue was not surprised that they would treat her like this, anyway, something similar would happen to her every day, she looked at their faces and felt speechless, naΓ―ve, ridiculous, Yin Shixue lowered her head and silently patted off the gray layer on her body.
β¦β¦
Thinking about the past, she unconsciously walked to the corridor on the third floor of the school, and saw the house number of the sophomore (Class 1) in front of her from a distance, and there were still three minutes before the morning self-study, she straightened the skirt of the school uniform and walked forward......
Walking to the door, he just happened to bump into Peng Yichen, who was walking out of the classroom, and looked up, feeling inexplicably embarrassed.
"Why do you love to walk with your head down", his voice was soft, making Yin Shixue a little uncontrollable to look up at him, it is undeniable that Peng Yichen does have a pair of eyes that fascinate thousands of girls, and that kind of gentle and playful eyes make her anxious to escape in the next second.
didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble, and didn't want to deal with him, Yin Shixue regarded him as a wall and took a detour, just took a few steps forward and his left arm was suddenly grabbed by him, only to see that several girls on the opposite side saw this scene and swept her with cold eyes.
Yin Shixue was pulled over by him suddenly, she could feel his deep gaze fall on her, she didn't know what Peng Yichen wanted to do, but she clearly saw Jiang Yuanyuan's expressions changing intricately, Peng Yichen pulled her close to her ear and said a word to her in a voice that only she could hear, after listening to it, she really looked at Peng Yichen without shame and couldn't say a word for a long time.
"You ......" Yin Shixue said a word angrily, and Peng Yichen chuckled, seemingly satisfied with her current reaction.
Yin Shixue shook off his hand, cursed him in his heart, and quickly calmed down, she felt that her biggest advantage was that she was "angry for no more than three seconds", she was a pacifist, and she didn't even take Jiang Yuanyuan and everything they did to her, not to mention Peng Yichen's words, thinking like this, she was really in a much better mood.
Of course, Yin Shixue knew that those girls would not let her go, but she was still very safe during class, or she would be very safe in Peng Yichen's field of vision, because they would not expose their shrewd image in front of Peng Yichen, at most, they would get together and whisper, and then glance at her from time to time, but she was not so lucky in the afternoon physical education class, her classmates scattered like wild horses, and the boys also went to play basketball, she was used to sitting alone in the shade of a tree in a quiet daze.
"Yin Shixue"
Yin Shixue raised her eyes lightly, it was actually Lu Yimei, who usually bullied her, she was walking towards her with a smile, her smile was so real that moment Yin Shixue thought it was her own illusion.
"It's boring to be alone, right? I have something I want to say to you."
Seeing that Yin Shixue didn't speak, Lu Yimei hurriedly sat next to her, looking courteous, Lu Yimei said a lot to her, saying that what she did to her before was instructed by Jiang Yuanyuan, and now Jiang Yuanyuan has isolated her and has been saying bad things about her behind her back, saying that Yin Shixue is a good person, she is sorry for the excessive things she did before, and said that she is willing to be friends with Yin Shixue.
Yin Shixue still didn't speak, Lu Yimei took her hand and smiled sincerely, but Yin Shixue saw a trace of flickering and temptation in her eyes, knowing that Lu Yimei was just playing with herself and deceiving herself, knowing that this was a trap, Yin Shixue still fell into it, eh, is she a masochist?
Even if she was deceived, Yin Shixue still listened to her quietly.
"Let's go, I'll take you to a good place. β
Before Yin Shixue could answer, Lu Yimei had already pulled her up, Yin Shixue did not refuse, and followed her quietly, wanting to see what Lu Yimei wanted to do, and when she arrived at an open space behind a teaching building where no one was around, Lu Yimei suddenly shook off her hand and stood opposite her, looking at her condescendingly with raised eyebrows, like an arrogant peacock.
"Yuanyuan, someone brought it to you." Lu Yimei has the posture of a victor, and her sweet appearance before is like two people.
Immediately after, Jiang Yuanyuan and six or seven other girls walked out of the back wall of the teaching building one after another, and when they looked at her, they showed disdain on their faces.
Yin Shixue couldn't help but gasp.
"Don't look at me like this, Yin Shixue, do you think I will really be friends with you? A selfish person like you is destined to never have a friend."
"You still look pretentious all day long, who do you think you are, it's disgusting."
"It's just that if you failed so badly, if I had hit the wall and died"
β¦β¦
They ridiculed Yin Shixue word by word, and they extremely enjoyed the pleasure of bullying others in a group.
"Are you finished, I'm leaving", Yin Shixue was expressionless, turned around and was about to leave, Jiang Yuanyuan suddenly blocked in front of her.
"Yin Shixue, I have reminded you many times, stay away from Peng Yichen, you don't have a long memory, since this is the case, I will "remind" you again today", she had a cold smile on the corner of her mouth, and deliberately said the word "remind" very slowly and heavily.
It seems useless to call for help, and even more useless to justify.
They approached Yin Shixue and forced her into a corner, Yin Shixue had no way to retreat, Yin Shixue glared at them, without a trace of fear, her non-rippling attitude seemed to have completely angered them, they were all holding balloons full of water in their hands, smashing her hard while insulting her, one by one the water balloons exploded on her, the water splashed, she covered her face with both hands, the water droplets flowed down her hair wet and dripped on her eyelashes blurring her eyes, finally, she was completely soaked, the white shirt was close to her skin, pain and coldness penetrated every cell in her bodyAlthough the weather was fine and sunny today, she couldn't help but shiver.
"Yin Shixue, this tastes good", Jiang Yuanyuan looked at her with a smile and contempt, attracting a coquettish smile from a group of girls behind her.
"Don't talk, do you?"
Just as they were immersed in the fun of teasing Yin Shixue, the sky suddenly darkened without warning, the sky was covered by black clouds, the earth rolled up a strong wind, and the wind accompanied by the fallen leaves rolled on the ground, surging on her skirt, Yin Shixue felt that it was difficult to open her eyes, only to hear the rustling of the wind, and the surroundings became eeriely dim, and the whole world seemed to be turned upside down......
"I'm going, why did the wind suddenly get up, it's really unlucky", Jiang Yuanyuan's voice was also buried by the wind.
"It seems to be raining," Zuo Yun pulled Lu Yimei on the side.
"It's going to rain, let's hurry up".
"And what should she do?" a girl's hair was almost blown to stand up, and the thinner ones could barely stand on their feet, as if they were about to be swept away by the wind.
Yin Shixue was still leaning in the corner, unable to distinguish the direction, everything in front of her became dim and blurred, and she vaguely saw that they were all grasping the skirts of their school uniforms, blocking the wind blowing on their faces with one hand, and the screams were blown away by the wind.
β¦β¦
The wind continued to blow so that people couldn't open their eyes, Jiang Yuanyuan seemed to be a little weak, she looked at Yin Shixue, her hair was blown messy, "Yin Shixue, I'll let you go today, and we'll play slowly when we have time in the future." β
With that, they were gone.
The strange thing is that as soon as they left the wind, the surroundings suddenly quieted, because the building is relatively remote, there is no one around, the sky is still gray, she seems to hear the distant sound of bats from far and near, just somewhere not far from her, she looks around in horror, looking at the gray sky, but finds nothing, only her heartbeat and breathing, she covers her ears, she thinks she must be sick, why do she keep hearing these strange sounds, these sounds make her uneasy, make her irritable and make her afraid, she desperately tries to find their figures, but everything is in vainγ
"Don't, don't," she said to herself, running out of the dark place, until at last, when the clouds cleared, she saw the sun again......
Along the way, her classmates around her were looking at her strangely, and she lowered her head and quickened her pace across the basketball court, where a group of boys playing basketball whistled at her through the fence.
"Beauty, good figure!"
"Hahahaha. β
She looked down, the soaked white shirt could clearly see the black bra inside, shame and shame were like a flame burning, she blushed, her hands tightly covered her chest, she remembered that when she bumped into Peng Yichen this morning, he said in her ear, "Good figure" , suddenly felt a burst of annoyance, how she wished that at this moment she suddenly became a transparent person, and didn't care about other people's eyes, but this was not the case, just like a secret exposed to the sun, trampled on by everyone's verbal comments, eyes looked at ridicule and ridicule, she suddenly felt extremely aggrieved, she didn't even dare to look at their eyes anymore.
With a sniff, her tears fell, and she had no idea where to run to hide herself......
Women's toilet, yes, so she went up the stairs to go to the nearest women's toilet to her, but she obviously felt that someone deliberately walked in front of her to block her way, she was suddenly irritable, she went to the left, he went to the left, she went to the right, because she lowered her head and could only see a pair of sneakers, she didn't know which way he was, the fairy couldn't get along with her at this time, if she didn't scold him at this moment, "You are sick" She thought she would go crazy, although she was usually silent, but at this time she really couldn't help but want to yell, after all, when she was most embarrassed and annoyed, he came out and stood in front of her.
Yin Shixue raised her head and met the other party's eyes angrily, and as soon as the foul words reached her mouth, she swallowed them back hard, if she was not mistaken, Peng Yichen actually showed an angry face to her, as if the person who was looked at was him
"Who did that?" he seemed to see through her, and his tone was a little angry!
Why tell him that she doesn't know him well and that he can help her solve the problem? He is the root of the problem......
Seeing that she didn't speak, he looked helpless.
"They're them again?"
She shuddered all over, what did he guess?
"No, the hose broke when I washed my hands." She hurriedly explained, and then hurriedly walked away from him, unexpectedly he turned back to block her way.
"Yin Shixue" he looked at her.
Yin Shixue felt that she was really going crazy, could he stay away from herself, she just wanted to find a place where there was no one and stayed alone......
Her clenched hands began to tremble, and the inquisitive gaze around her was like a sharp knife stabbing at her chest.
She glared at him indignantly, and he could probably see her embarrassment.
Then he pulled out a white shirt from her black bag and put it around her, and she froze there.
"Change your clothes, don't ......" He watched as she coughed dryly, his eyes looking away.
"Don't freeze the cold," he continued!
She saw all his subtle movements and eyes, and she felt that she could really faint without facing such an embarrassing scene again.
She knew that Peng Yichen just wanted to help her.
It may be simply because she is weak and gives him a strong desire to protect, it may be that he feels that she is different from others and just wants to solve the mystery to satisfy his curiosity, or there may be many possibilities.
"Don't use this, it will wet your clothes......" Her tone was a little cold and she didn't have any confidence at all, and she said no, but she still hugged her clothes tightly to her chest
Suddenly feel how ridiculous I am, what can I do at this time?
She felt a smile in the corner of Peng Yichen's eyes, and he said, "Do you want to finish all the afternoon classes in this position?"
She was dumbfounded.
Peng Yichen smiled and said, "I'm wearing a jersey, so you can change your clothes with peace of mind."
Seeing her hesitation, Peng Yichen probably couldn't do anything about her, and finally didn't bother to talk to her, and directly took her hand through the crowd, she was startled, the white shirt on her body almost fell to the ground, and her other hand quickly covered the clothes on her chest to stabilize her center of gravity, so as not to let it fall, she wanted to break free of his grip, only to find that the girl's strength was too small, and finally gave up struggling.
Peng Yichen leaned against the wall, glanced at the women's toilet and motioned for her to enter, she looked at his handsome face, and lost her mind for a second, Peng Yichen's eyes were flashing with gentle light when she didn't speak.
He looked at Yin Shixue and suddenly stretched out a hand, Yin Shixue took a step back and tried to dodge.
"Don't move," he said.
She felt itchy when his fingers touched her wet hair, and his long hanging hair was gently brushed behind her ears, and she dodged unnaturally.
It's just a simple three-second action, as if she had been tormented for a century.
"It's almost class, hurry up and get in and change your clothes," he said, looking at his watch.
She nodded, "You go back first." β
"What's wrong, don't you want me to wait for you?", he deliberately bent down slightly to stare at her face.
In the past, a pair of puzzled eyes fell on them.
"It's strange that you're standing here".
"Alright, I'll wait for you in the classroom," he smiled ambiguously at her.
Yin Shixue ignored him and turned around and went into the women's bathroom.
Eh, today is really a decay with a capital letter!
Wearing a boy's clothes for the first time, looking at herself in the mirror, the loose shirt hung on her, and the long sleeves made her even more petite.
She scratched at her hair to make herself look less embarrassed, and she tried to pull her hair behind her ears to reveal her entire face, tiny.
When she walked out of the bathroom, it was already class, and she had to walk into the classroom in full view of the whole class.
The teacher lifted his glasses, looked Yin Shixue up and down, and then glanced at Peng Yichen, because Peng Yichen was the only student in the class who wore a football uniform in class, and it was too dazzling in the crowd, and the teacher said in a weird way, you are almost a junior, and now you should focus on studying, even if you are full of curiosity about love in adolescence, but don't affect your studies or something......
Peng Yichen's gang of dead friends began to coax, and the women had a stinky face and an expression of wanting to skin Yin Shixue alive.
Finally got through to the last class, she walked in front of Peng Yichen, and he leaned on the desk behind him with his legs crossed and watched her walk over quietly.
"Thank you for helping me today, this dress ......"
"You're dressed very well",
As soon as his words fell, the lively boys began to put on various vivid expressions.
"Yo yo yo, their young master Peng has never praised a girl so good-looking."
They began to tease her and Peng Yichen one by one, but Peng Yichen didn't mean to explain at all, she hurriedly said, you think too much, he and I are not what you think.
"I'll give you back the clothes tomorrow", she blushed, and turned to leave.
"Look at it, my face is red, and I say it's not what we thought it was......"
She held her face as she walked, hoping that the temperature could cool down as soon as possible, she was really embarrassed to death, but she just misunderstood what she blushed.
When I went home and walked through a forest, I saw a few middle-aged uncles in construction workers' clothes smoking and chatting on the side of the road, their dark skin and clothes were covered with dust, and when Yin Shixue rode a bicycle by, they also saw Yin Shixue, probably curious about how someone would come over in such a deserted place, Yin Shixue was also curious about how they would appear here, because this time there was no father's special car to pick her up, she could only ride a bicycle and choose a small road to go home.
Later, her father called her from abroad, and she learned that it was a large company that invested in a piece of land here to build a large-scale cultural tourism and sightseeing project, leisure and tourism area, and indeed the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, the birds and flowers are like a paradise, and it is indeed a treasure land, so it is normal to see some construction sites.
"Shi Xue, Dad doesn't worry about you, didn't he let you go to your aunt's house for a few days", his father's reproachful voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I don't want to go, I have Aunt Liu at home to accompany me"!
