Chapter 30: The Butterfly Effect
Listening to Zheng Xinyi's narration, I found that what happened later was even more incredible.
That day, because Yang Jiayu left the venue early, she had to temporarily cancel all the arrangements for the birthday party, Zheng Xinyi was also taken away by Yi Mengfan, and she didn't know what happened in the venue after that, and she didn't explain to us where she and Yi Mengfan went.
The next day was a familiar and unfamiliar Monday, familiar only with the term "Monday", and unfamiliar with the unpredictability of what would happen on each new Monday.
Zheng Xinyi, as usual, came to school wearing a school uniform, the difference is that there are a few more lollipops in her pocket, which is Yang Jiayu's favorite lollipop, she knows in her heart that no matter what misunderstanding arises between them, Yang Jiayu was once her best friend, as long as she patiently explains, everything will be solved, as for that Wang Qinghan, it would be good if the well water did not interfere with the river water, after all, where there is Yang Jiayu, her existence is indispensable.
Zheng Xinyi just passed by the corner of the floor where the class was located, and saw a pile of books scattered in front of the locker at the door of the classroom from a distance.
Squatting down and opening one of the books, Zheng Xinyi saw her name, and then opened other books, it was obvious that they were all the same three words - Zheng Xinyi, this name that has been used for more than ten years, carefully observe each handwriting, and even find that there is not the slightest error in the strength of each stroke, and she will not admit mistakes, these messy things are her own.
Zheng Xinyi couldn't figure out why her things fell out of the cabinet, so she sorted out the items and put them aside, took out the key, and left it open for a long time, but the lock on the door still didn't move.
She was about to try again, but the teacher who was walking in this direction stopped her, "Zheng Xinyi, come on!" This teacher looks very kind, so her voice is extremely gentle, and when she saw her badge, she realized that the head teacher of this class was not the "bald strong".
"Hello teacher!" Zheng Xinyi is in the class, although her grades are generally not among the best, but they are also considered to be in the upper class, and aside from the grades, I heard that this teacher is good to every student and is a very popular teacher, Zheng Xinyi heard the teacher's voice, and a sense of grievance immediately came to her heart.
"Xinyi, the teacher knows that you are a good boy, but I still want to ask you about something!" The teacher gently flicked the bangs on Zheng Xinyi's forehead.
Zheng Xinyi nodded.
"Xinyi, Yang Jiayu and they came to school early today, rummaged through the cabinet and found that something was missing, Wang Qinghan explained the situation to me, and then changed a lock for the cabinet, you and they are good friends, so have you seen what they lost?"
"Teacher, what did they lose?" Zheng Xinyi was confused.
"They didn't tell me what I lost, they just said they saw you in the cupboard before school on Friday, so I came to ask you!" The teacher's tone was calm.
Zheng Xinyi felt that the teacher was suspicious of her, so she quickly explained: "It's not me, it's not me who stole it, I took my hairpin on Friday and didn't touch their things!" ”
"The teacher believes that you didn't take it, and they didn't say that you must have taken it, don't worry, I'll talk to them again."
"But ......," Zheng Xinyi pointed to the books that had just been packed up and put aside.
"They said that if you want to open the cabinet, you need to get their consent, if you can't open your mouth for the time being, you can tell me, and then I will tell them." When I heard Zheng Xinyi talk about this, I felt that there are not many teachers who can be so patient with the small things between students.
"Teacher, although they didn't say they were suspicious of me, didn't this show in another way that I was the one who stole their things?" Zheng Xinyi clenched her fists, and because she was so angry, she couldn't help but tremble with emotion.
"Xinyi, you can use my locker for the time being, you have to trust the teacher, I will definitely help you solve the problem, okay?" The teacher took out the key to his locker and handed it to Zheng Xinyi.
Every Monday, the school organizes a national flag-raising ceremony, as the assembly music sounds, looking out the window, the students begin to stand in line in the playground one after another, Zheng Xinyi walked into the classroom, put her schoolbag on her seat, and put away the key given to her by the teacher.
Zheng Xinyi walked absentmindedly to the playground and found the place where the class team was, and some of her classmates saw her and immediately gathered together, whispering to each other, and from time to time they would glance at her with their spare eyes, and when she got closer, they quickly stood back in their place.
Every time she gathered before, Zheng Xinyi stood with Yang Jiayu and them, and when the homeroom teacher and the "bald head" who were patrolling back and forth were not paying attention, several people would make some small moves.
But now ......
Harmonious friendships are a thing of the past.
Zheng Xinyi walked to her former best friend, lowered her head and stopped, none of them were ready to keep her, even if it was a superficial expression: "Xinyi, you are here!" "On the contrary, the three of them pulled me, and I slapped you and laughed endlessly, directly ignoring Zheng Xinyi's existence.
At this time, Zheng Xinyi seemed to have become a transparent person, the air was as colorless and odorless as everybody, and it was said that air was essential for everyone, but Zheng Xinyi's part was completely isolated as if it was polluted, she pretended not to care, pursed her lips and kicked away a small stone, and quickly moved herself to the end of the army.
As soon as he stood up, the music used by the school to announce the assembly stopped playing, as if deliberately cooperating with Zheng Xinyi, suddenly there was no deafening music, and the noise on the playground also lowered the decibels, but as long as no one walked up to the flag-raising platform to start the formal speech, the students would not really be quiet.
Zheng Xinyi's surroundings, except for the previous one who was in the same class, there was no better person, not even a familiar one, and she couldn't find any topics with the classmates in front of her, in order to avoid the embarrassing situation of "not speculating for more than half a sentence", so she didn't bother to talk to her, so she might as well stand quietly in place.
Because the weather was a little cool, the tips of the noses of several nearby students were blown reddish in the cold wind, and a few kept rubbing their hands to create some heat, and then put their hands on their faces, at this time, their hands should be the easiest way to keep warm.
Maybe it was really boring, Zheng Xinyi began to rub the ground back and forth with her feet, but she still couldn't find fun, she looked up at the flag-raising platform, hoping that the flag-raising ceremony could start earlier, and when she withdrew her gaze, it happened to be in contact with Wang Qinghan's eyes.
"Look at what, shameless thief, look at us again, believe it or not, poke your eyeballs out." Wang Qinghan's vicious appearance was extremely vicious.
"Wang Qinghan, don't deceive people too much, I tolerate you enough, you say I'm a thief, I believe that the Qing is self-purifying, and I also remember that we used to be friends, so I don't want to deal with people like you, but why don't you know what to do, and getting an inch will give you a sense of superiority, right?" Zheng Xinyi rushed to Wang Qinghan violently, waved her hand and slapped her, her eyes widened, she usually felt that Zheng Xinyi didn't like to talk much, and she didn't expect to lose her temper so much, it can be seen that she really can't bear it.
Where there is a dispute, where there is an emergency, where will be surrounded by water, there are always some people who are obsessed with joining in the fun, riveting through five levels and six generals, in order to squeeze to the front, so that they can see more clearly, after all, I stood on the roof of the building and was bent on death, and there were people below who shouted heartbreakingly to "cheer me on".
"Zheng Xinyi, you have persecution paranoia! Wang Qinghan said that the thief was you, and he didn't name you by name, what are you excited about? I also started to beat people, you were really good at disguise before, and today I found out that you are quite temperamental! Yang Jiayu didn't leave a trace of affection for Zheng Xinyi, her words completely chilled Zheng Xinyi's heart, her once best friend has now become the last straw that crushed the camel, Zheng Xinyi completely lost trust in Yang Jiayu's heart, and this feeling was like a fish in her throat.
"Everyone looks at Zheng Xinyi's angry appearance, and she is so excited to hear the word thief, if you want to say that she didn't steal anything, do you believe it?" Wang Qinghan did not intend to give in.
"Say it again! Believe it or not, I'll poke your eyeballs out first! The angry emotion had already overwhelmed Zheng Xinyi's mind, she pulled Wang Qinghan's collar, and took out a lollipop from her pocket, and the side without sugar was directly facing Wang Qinghan's right eye, no more than a centimeter away.
I remember someone saying don't anger honest people, because honest people don't lose their temper easily, but if they are really pushed, you won't even have a chance to kneel down and beg for mercy.
"What do you want, you angry thief? Many people saw it at the birthday party that day, Xiaoyu's skirt was in your backpack, you are the thief, you are still glaring at me, do you say it again with me? Small! Steal! Wang Qinghan broke Zheng Xinyi's last psychological defense line at one point.
"I'll say it one last time, I'm not a thief!" Zheng Xinyi's hands were also shaking all the time, and she knew that she could never do anything to hurt others.
"It turned out to be her!"
"That's right, I heard that Yang Jiayu lost a very special skirt on her birthday, which Zheng Xinyi stole it."
"More than that! It seems that he also robbed Yang Jiayu's sweetheart! ”
"Why don't you talk about fire prevention, theft prevention, and girlfriends!"
Zheng Xinyi faced the comments of the people around her, and the anger that had calmed down a little rekindled in her heart.
"Look, everybody knows you're a thief!" Wang Qinghan sneered.
"You forced me!" Zheng Xinyi didn't attack Wang Qinghan's eyes, but used enough strength to scratch her neck with her fingernails, leaving three wounds of varying degrees, and you can see the blood slowly oozing out.
Wang Qinghan felt the unbearable pain, subconsciously touched the wound with his hand, and then looked at his hand, his palm was already red with blood, "Zheng Xinyi, are you crazy!" ”
"I'm not crazy, I've been sober! You're the one who talks nonsense, and it's you who are the ones who started the madness. Zheng Xinyi felt that the pain did not let Wang Qinghan learn a lesson, and the people around her did not stop talking wantonly, but after seeing Wang Qinghan injured, they increased their criticism of Zheng Xinyi.
The impulsive thought finally occupied Zheng Xinyi's mind, and the impulse also controlled her limbs, the lollipop was lifted again, and the side without sugar was aimed at Wang Qinghan's right eye again, determined to cooperate with the strength, and a very ordinary lollipop instantly turned into the most threatening blade.
Wang Qinghan realized that there was really no room for argument this time, and instinctively closed his eyes and turned his head.
"Enough!" At the moment of crisis, a hand blocked in front of Wang Qinghan, due to Zheng Xinyi's excessive force this time, coupled with the transmissibility of the force, although this hand resisted the injury to Wang Qinghan, but the defenseless Wang Qinghan was still pushed and sat on the ground.
Several people stepped forward to help Wang Qinghan, and more and more students were attracted by the intensifying chaos, and the commotion made the playground a mess.
However, all this, except for Wang Qinghan and Zheng Xinyi, who know it best, everyone else should be in response to the butterfly effect, and even Yang Jiayu is half-understood.
