Chapter 1: Torment
As the sun set, the last dazzling rays of sunlight shone into the bus, Su Liang's eyes trembled, as if he was very unaccustomed to this sudden light, his hand loosened, and the roll he was holding slowly fell to the ground.
It seems that because the grip is too tight, the sweat in his hand sticks to the roll, and the score is no longer clear. It's just that the black footprints on the snow-white scroll are exceptionally clear.
"Oh, the sluggish girl actually scored seventy-eight points in the exam, Zhang Xuan, your paper is not well blocked." As soon as the test paper was handed out, a boy held up Su Liang's paper as if he had discovered something, and said loudly.
"I can't help it, you know, toad eyes grow on the top of the head, it's much easier to see the answer than people." Zhang Xuan raised his head slightly, as if he said helplessly.
"Hahaha, if there are toads eating insects, we are much cleaner, but unfortunately, I'm afraid that some toads want to eat swan meat!" Zhang Yi spat hard and said.
The wind that blew from nowhere blew the roll on the wooden table to the ground, Su Liang subconsciously wanted to pick it up, and one foot quickly crushed on the roll, and in an instant, the snow-white roll left an ugly footprint.
"Don't you think sitting here is a waste of chairs?"
Who said this, Su Liang didn't care anymore. The noisy voices in her ears were getting farther and farther away from her. Su Liang looked down at his scroll, everything around him seemed to be commonplace, and it didn't affect her in the slightest.
"It's just over seventy......" Su Liang's fingers turned white and cold, but he was still unconscious.
The bus gradually stopped, Su Liang picked up his backpack and hurriedly got off the bus, and the roll in the corner had no intention of picking it up.
The sky was dark, looking at the sparse pedestrians on the road, Su Liang smiled sarcastically: At this time, I am afraid that all the people have already gone back, and in order not to meet acquaintances on the road, I will deliberately miss the bus and go back later. Even if mom would reproach her for coming home too late, she couldn't.
"Obviously I didn't do anything wrong...... Su Liang lowered his head and muttered to himself.
Just thinking that there would be a long time and not seeing the face he hated, Su Liang's steps couldn't help but be much lighter.
"Knock knock" Su Liang knocked lightly on the door.
I don't know when it began, Su Liang's every move has become cautious. It seems that he is afraid that one of his actions will make others unhappy.
There was silence in the door for a long time, Su Liang sighed softly, and took out his key from the innermost part of the schoolbag with some difficulty.
Since the last time I didn't know who threw my key in the trash, I sat at the door, like a poor homeless person for four hours, and I no longer dared to put the key in an easy place.
When I opened the door, I was greeted by some cold darkness. And this scene, Su Liang has become accustomed to it.
In order to make a living, Mom and Dad often work overtime, and it seems that it has been a long time since the family has eaten a meal. Su Liang ate some cold rice on the table casually, and walked into the bedroom with his schoolbag.
Turning on the bedroom light, Su Liang slumped his homework on the table, and carefully covered the dazzling words written by those people on his homework book.
"I'm probably going to be scolded by the teacher again tomorrow." Su Liang looked at his extremely messy homework book, shook his head and sighed, looking at the calendar in the corner of his desk.
"Sixty-seven days away, I'll graduate." Su Liang used a black pen to turn to today, and said lightly. Every day that passed, I was crossed out with a black pen by myself, as if to encourage myself.
I guess I went to a new environment, it would be better...... Su Liang clenched his fist and said easily.
A year has passed, and sixty-seven days seems much easier.
"Oops, I bought something for a few hundred yuan after half a day, and I came back so late." Suning complained while changing his slippers: "Girl, it's been hot at night."
"Hmm......" Su Liang agreed absentmindedly.
"Come and see if you like the hairpin that your mother bought for you?" Suning seemed to be very happy and walked in with a hairpin.
"I'm not fit to wear a hairpin." Su Liang didn't seem to be interested in this at all, and didn't even raise his head to take a look.
"What's not suitable, it's all big, you have to dress up well." Suning didn't seem to be affected by her daughter at all, and slumped the hairpin on her hand.
Very delicate white hairpins with several rhinestones embedded in them, which shimmer faintly under the light. The style is small, perfect for evoking a person's girlish heart.
"Here, put it on for you." Suning combed her daughter's long hair and said bitterly: "Don't always cover your face with your hair, isn't it nice to comb all your hair at a young age?"
Suning skillfully picked up a ball head with his hands and feet, stuck the hairpin underneath, looked left and right, and said with satisfaction: "Okay, let's go look in the mirror."
Su Liang knew that he couldn't talk about his mother, so he slowly left the desk and moved towards the mirror unhurriedly.
All the hair covered in front of his eyes was combed back, and he picked up a delicate and good-looking little bone, his facial features were very clear, and the small hairpin flashed with a soft light.
Su Liang looked at himself in the mirror like this, and subconsciously wanted to escape: I don't know when he started to take a good look at his face, and he subconsciously didn't look in the mirror when he washed his face or anything.
It's just that...... A pair of eyes on the emaciated goose egg face, some narrow double eyelids just take advantage of a pair of slender eyebrows. The nose is not very tall and the tip of the nose is a little fleshy, and the lip shape is also very pink.
Even if it's really not the kind of stunning look at first glance, it won't be said to be ugly. The appearance of the little jasper is very gentle.
But......
"Hey, did you come and smell the sour smell of where she sits?"
"Do you think Su Liang is the ugliest girl in our class?"
"I just bumped into her, I'm going to wash it up."
The words of those people suddenly echoed in his head, even if there was not a single dirty word, but every word was heartfelt, like a needle prick in his heart that could not be pulled out.
Gradually, he didn't dare to show his face again, and his long hair covered half of his face, but it didn't stop their gossip.
"Average." Su Liang's eyes dimmed, he no longer looked at himself in the mirror, and said flatly.
Anyway, no matter what, it won't change the status quo of being bullied.
"What, you're questioning your mother's craft?" Suning pursed his lips and said a little unhappily: "Go to school like this tomorrow, don't cover your face with your hair anymore, it's ugly to death."
Somehow, the two ugly words that were understated floated in Su Liang's heart like a thorn, which made her heart tighten.
"Leave me alone." Even though Su Liang knew that his mother had no bad intentions, he still felt a faint pain in his heart.
Maybe she is like a hedgehog that has been pierced with thorns all the time, even if she doesn't hurt him with new things, the old wounds on her body are enough to make her bruises all over her body.
"What do you mean by not caring about you, my mother only has you as a daughter, who else can I worry about." Suning seemed to be very dissatisfied with her daughter's attitude, and said with a frown.
Her father usually doesn't care about family affairs, and rarely asks her, and her mother handles all the housework at home. Mom was dissatisfied with Dad's cowardice, and quarreled for almost three days, and not long ago, she simply took her surname with her mother's surname. Self is the mother's only support.
So I didn't dare to tell my mother about her situation in school.
"Okay, I'll wear it tomorrow." Su Liang knew that he couldn't talk about his mother, so he said helplessly.
In short, no one will pay attention to yourself, and it's okay to wear a small hairpin, right?
The next day, Su Liang combed a ponytail, carefully stuck the clip in the most inconspicuous position in the back, and made some broken hair to cover some of his face. After looking left and right and it was not obvious, he walked out of the house.
It seems that it has been a long time since I have walked outside with my face exposed, and I am very unaccustomed to looking at other people's eyes, so I have to walk hurriedly with my head down. It's just that somehow, I always feel like others are laughing at such a look, and I have to bring a hairpin.
"Others won't notice their ......" Su Liang silently comforted himself in his heart as he walked forward.
"Jingle bell" Just when Su Liang's thoughts were still floating in the distance, a crisp bell suddenly sounded in his ears, and Su Liang didn't have time to react, so he was hit to the ground by the oncoming bicycle.
"I said this classmate, don't you cross the street and don't look up, you said that if I drive a car, you don't have time to be in a daze."
The other party didn't seem to feel guilty for bumping into her, and said a little sarcastically.
Because it was also because he didn't look at the road, he didn't intend to blame the other party, but when he heard the other party's sarcasm, he looked up at the boy in disbelief.
It seems to be wearing the same school uniform as himself, with healthy wheat-colored skin, thick eyebrows, and a towering nose. Very sunny looks, but full of cynicism.
"Hey, don't look at me like that, even if you have anything bad, I won't promise it." The other party said with disgust: "Besides, you don't look at the road, you don't need your eyes to donate to those in need."
After saying that, he rode away on a convenient bike, without the slightest intention of helping the people on the ground up.
"Anyway, it's a bump into someone, and this attitude is too much." Su Liang muttered quietly, picked up his schoolbag and planned to leave.
As soon as he raised his head, before he could take a step, suddenly there was a loud jingle of the bell, and he couldn't help but be startled, and instinctively retreated backwards.
"After being hit by this, my reaction speed is much faster." The cynical face suddenly appeared in front of him again, and the corners of his mouth slid upward, as if he was teasing the person in front of him.
Su Liang patted the ashes on his skirt and looked at him with a wary face while holding his schoolbag.
"Wait, you can't catch the bus." The young man in front of him fiddled the bell a few times and said unhurriedly.
Su Liang looked up at the bus that had already gone away, and looked at the person in front of him with some incomprehension: Could it be that he turned around and came back again, just to tell himself this, and then see that he was late and made a fool of himself? That's nasty fun, isn't it?
"You came back on purpose to see me make a fool of myself late." Su Liang tidied up his clothes and said flatly.
