I woke up much earlier than usual because of a nightmare, and I was standing in front of the mirror in the toilet.

"Shhh Hurt.. ”

Almost with my face in the mirror, I used my hand to tear off the band-aid on the corner of my left eyebrow. The Band-Aid that had been sticking to it all night seemed to have become obsessed with my skin, and I was completely reluctant to separate from it, so I had to tear it off in pain.

"Whew. Finally got it down. ”

Looking at the bloodstained band-aid in my hand, I breathed a long sigh of relief. I tossed it in the trash, and I looked up in the mirror to see how my wound was.

“！！”

Just looking in the mirror, I was instantly stunned.

The crack, which was originally several centimeters long, has not only fully recovered, but only a faint brown blood stain remains. Even the newborn skin was as smooth as a baby.

What's going on?!

In disbelief, I leaned closer to the mirror to take a closer look, and the wound was indeed fully recovered. Not a trace was left at all!

"Impossible, right?"

I lifted my shirt in a panic, and the bruises from the kick in my abdomen, as well as the scars on my body from the violent beating I had received from Elle yesterday, were completely gone, as if I had never been injured.

It's so weird!

That was my first thought.

Shouldn't it? I'm still dreaming?

That's my second thought.

Then, for some reason, I remembered the broken temple in my mind. The scene of Uncle Fang and Grandpa dancing like gods opened up the light for me, and inexplicably emerged from my mind.

Don't..?

I don't dare to think about it, and I don't want to think about it.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter what it is, as long as it doesn't hurt."

Slapped cold water on his face, and his mental state, which was still a little confused, also recovered his original vitality. And at this time, I also remember that I fell asleep last night without doing my homework.

"It's over! Gotta go to school and copy homework! ”

Shouting "oh terrible", I grabbed my bag from my desk and ran briskly towards school.

Of course, when I left the house, I took an extra twenty dollars from the drawer. As for the motivation for doing so? I don't understand, probably because of Ellie.

。。。。。。

I ran quickly to the school, and I didn't meet Watson at the school gate today.

Could it be too early? After all, even the sun hadn't fully risen, and the streets were filled with a thin morning mist.

"Hurry, hurry! Lend me my homework! ”

Rushing into the classroom in three steps and two steps, I hurriedly asked for help from my classmates who were already in the classroom.

In the morning of each class, there are always students who arrive early, but not for studying. They each have their own reasons, some are to make up their homework, and some are to copy their homework.

And what about others. It is to sell the completed homework to those students who have not written their homework. That's right, we have such a business-minded girl in our class - Camel Shoko.

Camel Xiangzi's original name was Luo Yalin, and she was barely a cute girl. But she thinks about making money every day, and the money she earns always disappears inexplicably. So we gave her a nickname that was just as miserable as hers, and she was one of the few classmates I remembered.

(Mr. Zhou's camel Xiangzi wants to make money, but the money is lost for various reasons.) For example, it was taken away by warlords and robbed by bandits. ）

"Shoko, can you borrow me to copy your homework?"

I asked Loyalyn who was sitting in her seat embarrassedly. Usually, even if I don't do my homework, Watson can borrow me to copy it, so I don't have much intersection with her.

"One piece for math, one piece for Chinese, and three dollars for English."

Luo Yalin didn't raise her head, and said as she fiddled with the clay in her hands. Looking at her like that, it is estimated that she also took a part-time job as a figure in her spare time.

It's just that.. The cat-like clay doll. Why is there such a long Armstrong Boom Boom Accelerator Cannon? That's a 10-centimeter tall object! And it's so big! The proportions are too out of proportion, isn't it?

"That, it's cheaper?"

I'm not an uninteresting person, so I naturally know that Luo Yalin is selling homework, so I just asked her to lower the price a little. After all, it's still a bit difficult to accept copying homework and removing a breakfast.

And when I asked her, I also saw the finished figure in her drawer.

A huge puppy somewhere, a giant rabbit somewhere, a giant hamster somewhere. All the cute clay dolls have terrifying cannons on them!

Camel Shoko! How much do you like that long strip thing!

"Look at the paper on my desk."

Luo Yalin didn't look up, and pointed to a piece of paper on the desk with the cannon in her hand that had not yet taken shape.

A line of writing was written on the paper, which was firmly taped to the corner of the table with scotch tape and could not be torn off at all:

[No bargaining.] 】

"Uhhh

I touched my pockets with some pain, and I had twenty dollars with me. Excluding breakfast and lunch, there are less than ten dollars left. If you give Luo Yalin another five dollars, it will be troublesome to meet Eliko again that night.

"Hey, Shoko."

When I was hesitating, a female classmate near Luo Yalin suddenly whispered to her. After the two of them communicated with eyes that I couldn't read, Luo Yalin ran to the man's side and whispered.

"Shoko. I heard that Si Chen. ”

The sound of a small conversation came from between the two. Although I don't have a penchant for eavesdropping, my ears are keenly catching my name.

It's as if your ears prick up as soon as someone talks about your name and pay attention to what they're saying. It's human instinct.

"That Si Chen yesterday. ? ”

"Really! Yesterday he was the first. Later. ”

The buzzing sound of a discussion like a fly came to my ears from time to time, and it was impossible to say that I didn't care, after all, they were clearly discussing my business.

What exactly is being discussed? I'm honestly curious, but I can't help it at all, because I can't hear.

"Forget it."

After exchanging words with the girl, Loyalyn shook her hair and walked towards me. She took three assignments from her school bag, gently put them in my hand and said:

"I won't charge you today."

"Huh?"

I took a look, this iron rooster is generally full of money, and the camel Xiangzi who is full of money will actually not take my money?

Could it be that the sun is coming out of the west?

I looked out the window with a puzzled expression. The sun still came from the familiar east, no different from what it had ever been.

Looking back at Luo Yalin, Luo Yalin lowered her head again and began to make her figures.

Watching her keep stroking the long strip of clay with her hands, smoothing out the mosaic, I swallowed subconsciously.

"Thanks! I'll pay you back soon! ”

In order to prevent myself from indulging in the ocean of desire, I gritted my teeth and turned my head back to my seat, no longer thinking about what they said about me, and no longer thinking about how Luo Yalin's temperament changed so much today.

Let's finish the homework first!
