Chapter 16: Watching from the Sidelines
Once Li Ziyi accidentally soiled her school uniform pants when she came to menstruation, she hid in the toilet because she was shy and didn't dare to come out, but seeing that it was about to be time for class, she was so anxious that she was in the toilet.
At this time, she happened to meet Sun Leilei who also went to the toilet, so she had to ask Sun Leilei in the same dormitory for help...... Unexpectedly, Sun Leilei ran back to the dormitory and helped Li Ziyi retrieve a pair of clean pants without saying a word. Li Ziyi looked at Sun Leilei, who was sweating all over her head, and found that the birthmark on her face was actually not too scary!
Since then, Li Ziyi's attitude towards Sun Leilei has changed, and the relationship between them has slowly developed from not saying a word at the beginning, to saying nothing later...... Li Ziyi even discovered that Sun Leilei was not as useless as everyone sees, at least she was very talented in painting. She often sketches Li Ziyi, and in Li Ziyi's own words, "the painting is quite expressive." ”
Originally, all this should have developed in a normal direction, but as the ridicule of Sun Leilei by several classmates intensified, the friendship between them soon came to an abrupt end.
The one who bullied Sun Leilei the most was a boy named Gong Chao, who relied on the money in his family, and often regarded himself as the "boss" in the class. When Sun Leilei first transferred to another school, he once said with a look of disgust, "That birthmark is really disgusting, even if you don't transfer a beautiful girl to our class, at least you have to look like a person!" You look at her face, just look at it and it affects your appetite. ”
Such a boy will always be followed by a few "little brothers" who hug him back and forth, and when he has nothing to do, he will be able to eat and drink with Gong Chao, so the exclusion of Sun Leilei by the class quickly changed from Gong Chao alone to a group of people headed by him.
At first, they just gave them nicknames, and occasionally said a few malicious taunts...... It wasn't until a few girls joined in later that the situation began to get more serious.
Gong Chao and the others are boys after all, no matter how much they bully Sun Leilei, they will not be able to do it. But the few girls in the class who have a good relationship with Gong Chao are different. In order to curry favor with Gong Chao, they have to find Sun Leilei's bad luck every once in a while, either tearing up her homework or throwing away her textbooks.
Supposedly, where did such a deep grudge come from between their classmates? But some Baling incidents are often a kind of group effect, even if the other people in the class will not take the initiative to bully Sun Leilei, but they are all cold bystanders to her experience, and no one is willing to take the initiative to stand up for her.
Because everyone knows that if anyone helps Sun Leilei at this time, it will be directly against Gong Chao's gang!! So over time, everyone in the class will not take the initiative to talk to Sun Leilei......
Li Ziyi is a shrewd girl, and the pros and cons of this are naturally clear, so when she was in the class, she only occasionally said a word or two to Sun Leilei, and only when she returned to the dormitory that only the two of them were left, she would put down her pretense and talk and laugh with Sun Leilei.
Gong Chao has been chasing Li Ziyi since he was a freshman in high school, but Li Ziyi has always been like a proud princess who is impartial to him, neither accepting nor refusing. In fact, Li Ziyi doesn't like Gong Chao, she even hates this boy a little. But she knew the rules of the game, and she didn't want to completely offend Gong Chao before the college entrance examination.
But beautiful girls are always jealous, especially a girl named Wang Xiaoxiao who has been surrounding Gong Chao. Although she didn't dare to say bad things about Li Ziyi in front of Gong Chao, she always wanted to catch Li Ziyi's pigtails openly and secretly.
Wang Xiaoxiao accidentally found that Sun Leilei and Li Ziyi seemed to have a good relationship, but they always deliberately pretended to be very rusty in the class...... So Wang Xiaoxiao had a bad heart and wanted to find a chance to try Li Ziyi.
One morning, everyone went out to exercise between classes, and Sun Leilei happened to have a little fever that day, so she asked the teacher for leave to rest in the classroom. Coincidentally, Sun Leilei's water-based pen couldn't write that morning, so Li Ziyi casually lent Sun Leilei a water-based pen that she didn't use very often.
It turned out that Li Ziyi's mother brought it back when she went to Hong Kong on a business trip, and it made the classmates envious for a while, so the whole class was deeply impressed by the beautiful water-based pen...... As a result, when everyone came back from the exercise, Wang Xiaoxiao insisted that Sun Leilei stole Li Ziyi's pen!!
In fact, this is not a big deal, as long as Li Ziyiken says, "I lent her this money"! But in this way, the whole class knows that the relationship between the two of them is very good, and Li Ziyi usually pretends not to talk to Sun Leilei in the class.
Li Ziyi only wants to study hard and be admitted to her ideal university in the future, and she doesn't want to get involved in these things at all. But sometimes the more she doesn't want to get involved, the more she will be coerced into it, and she can't hide from it......
The shrewd Li Ziyi will naturally choose Mingzhe to protect herself at this time, she knows that as long as she doesn't say anything, she just continues to watch from the sidelines like others. Seeing that Li Ziyi didn't stand up and speak for herself, Sun Leilei probably understood a thing or two in her heart, so she whispered, "I'm sorry...... Maybe I took it wrong when I was in the dormitory, I, I'll buy a new one tomorrow and give it back to her. ”
But how could Wang Xiaoxiao let her go so easily? I heard her say in a sarcastic tone, "Buy a new one!?" This was brought back from Hong Kong, and there is no one in China, where can you buy it? Okay, Sun Leilei, I didn't expect you to be ugly, but your heart and eyes are even uglier! How poor is your family, and you even have to steal a pen from our Ziyi? Can you still get a face? Or do you envy Zi Yi for being better looking than yourself, so even her pen feels nobler than your own?! ”
After Wang Xiaoxiao finished speaking, several boys next to her also followed suit, and for a while, almost the whole class laughed at Sun Leilei...... If it were in normal times, Sun Leilei would still be silent, and no matter how they ridiculed her, she would have heard nothing.
But at that time, Sun Leilei really felt that she was very wronged, although she understood in her heart why Li Ziyi refused to stand up and say something for herself, but understanding was one thing, and whether she could accept it was another.
In the end, this matter was also caused by the head teacher, although the teachers present at the time did not say anything, but the expressions on their faces could already explain everything, and they all felt that this was Sun Leilei who stole Li Ziyi.
