It's already mid-August. In the past month and a half, with the encouragement of several of us, I have completed all the summer homework with quality and quantity, and this summer vacation homework inspection should be able to pass smoothly.

In the past month and a half, I have not only completed my homework quickly according to the plan I set for myself, but also made a rough review of the subjects that I will take the elective exam. In addition, I took the initiative to go out of the house to earn money for the first time, and at the same time, we also carried out the initial renovation of our garden - I must say that all of this is due to Yirui's classmates.

Today is back-to-school day, and if it weren't for the school's remodeling, back-to-school day would mean the start of the third year of high school. Luckily, we still have two weeks off to go, and I'm glad I do.

"Morning, Zhao Yujie!" When I was passing by the garden, I was stopped by Zhang Zhendong, who was observing the creatures in the garden as usual.

"Well, morning!" I beckoned to him, "How are these seedlings growing?" ”

"It's pretty good." Zhang Zhendong doesn't have a vacation of his own, but because he has been sent to university, he doesn't need to prepare for the new semester exams like us. Therefore, he has time to take care of our work of watering the seedlings and fertilizing them in the shade.

I arrived early today, so I didn't have to sneak in through the small door on the other side of the senior teaching area like I did before. There are still no people on the path leading to the teaching building, and it is estimated that everyone is still asleep and can't get out of bed all of a sudden. Finally, I didn't have to suffer those strange eyes, and I followed this path that I hadn't walked a few times in two years to the school building.

"Good morning, Yujie!" Yirui also arrived early, standing on the podium and not knowing what he was doing.

"Morning," I waved at her, "Anyway, it's only seven o'clock." The home-school communication said that the return time should be 10 o'clock. ”

"Well, it doesn't matter. In the past few days of the holiday, which day did we not get up at six o'clock? She stepped down from the podium, "There are still more than two hours, let's go and walk around." ”

Bright light poured on the desks by the window, and the whole classroom was already illuminated. However, there was no one else in the classroom except the two of us.

"Yirui, are you done with your homework?"

"If you go according to plan, there's no reason why you can't do it."

She wore her full school uniform as she had done every day before, and although she had always worn it when she came to school or played the piano in the hotel, today she wore a new one, without any wrinkles on it. She doesn't secretly wear makeup to dress herself up like other female classmates, and it is enough to impress people by keeping no makeup every day. To be honest, I wanted to touch her secretly several times when I had the privilege of being alone with her, but I didn't want to lose a friend like her, so I kept a proper physical distance from her.

She stood at the door of the classroom and waved, I put down my bag, and walked out of the classroom with her.

The playground is still under construction, the original runway, stands, and stadium have long been unrecognizable, and a huge machine is moving clumbly on the remaining soil pits, and it seems that it has begun to be re-paved, and for a while, there is no longer to endure the "clang" noise of laying the foundation.

"See, there's a big patch of newly planted flowers in that corner of the garden!"

"Ah, yes!"

"Is the school going to renovate the garden again?"

"Who knows, it will be beautiful by then."

"Didn't I remember saying that this place was going to be demolished too?"

"That's weird......"

Two girls passed by us and noticed the changes in the garden from a distance.

"I wish it could bloom soon!" Yirui said as she jumped up and down next to me.

"It's up to us to try."

No one has cleaned this path for more than a month, and a layer of fallen leaves has piled up on the road, and the sunny days for a long time have dried them up, and stepping on it makes a crisp sound of "clang". Of course, now that my classmates have begun to come to school one after another, if I use my supernatural abilities to sweep away all the fallen leaves, I'm afraid it will arouse the suspicion of my classmates again.

"After that, if you move to the senior high school building, it will be inconvenient to come here."

I suddenly remembered when I saw a classmate on the road carrying books to the senior high school teaching building.

"There's no way, I don't know if we'll have enough time to walk around here after the third year of high school."

Like most people, Yirui and I only brought the homework to be checked today, and some prescient students put the textbooks that they needed early in the senior high school teaching building.

"It's almost time, and it's time for us to go back to the classroom." Yi Rui looked at her watch, and the class bell rang at half past nine on the radio.

"Well, I'm going to go to Zhendong's place for a while, you can go back first."

"Well, don't be late!" With that, she ran back to the classroom.

"Got it!"

"Are you going back to the classroom?"

"No, there's something going on over there in the biology competition, and it should be like this for a while before I can't go back to the classroom." Zhendong lowered his head and looked at the grass, "Moreover, I don't feel that I can particularly fit into this group." ”

"You?"

"Since the news spread that I won the prize in the competition and was sent to college, my classmates seem to have started to snub me."

"Snubbing you?"

"Well, at first they played some pranks on me, and then they just acted like I didn't exist, and no one paid attention to me when I spoke. Now the only people who can communicate normally are you and my friends in the biology competition. ”

"These people are really ......"

"I envy you. Even if you are coldly looked at by others, you can be so comfortable on the ground. It's not like me, after being left out in the cold, I wander outside all day, and even my grades plummet......"

"What's the matter...... Well, I'm used to being left out. Besides, those guys themselves aren't much better, and I don't want to treat them as my own partners, and they don't care about me and me. ”

"That's right...... I always feel that it is indeed my own lack of strength. ”

"There's no need to think so, they're probably just jealous that you can get college...... "I put my hand on his shoulder." There are few people who can be relied on in this collective, so it is better to rely on their own strength. Maybe being snubbed like we would be a good thing for us......"

"Hmm......" he lowered his head, "it's not too early, you can hurry back to the classroom." ”

"Okay, when you're ready, come back to the classroom!"

I didn't expect Zhendong to be snubbed by everyone, these guys are really contradictory - a gloomy person like me should be snubbed, and an excellent person like him should also be snubbed.

It was almost ten o'clock, and the hallway was gradually gone, and everyone had already returned to the classroom to get ready for homework checks. I picked up my pace, and I didn't want to be late for the only back-to-school day that I could prove to be a hard-working kid too.

"What are you going to do?" It's a girl's voice.

The sound comes from a classroom that is usually unused and only used when the school is going to open classes. I slowed down, lowered my voice, and walked towards the classroom.

"Don't worry, we're not going to do anything." A boy with a deep voice said.

I leaned sideways against the door, trying to hear the conversation inside.

"Yes, you just need to say, is the 'Demon of Plants and Trees' related to you." Another boy with a relatively high-pitched voice also spoke, and although there was a "buzzing" noise in the computer room next to him, I could vaguely tell that it was the timid boy who had been that night.

Oh no, that girl is Yirui-san!

"It doesn't matter." She said coldly.

I felt that I should rush to help her, but in retrospect, it would have been more effective to go back and call the head teacher now; I was going to make things a little clearer, so I stayed where I was.

"So, what is this?" Sure enough, it was the voice of the bold boy.

There was a video playing in the room, and there seemed to be a lot of people talking in the background, like the sound of a walkie-talkie, accompanied by a murmur of "stinging, stinging, stinging".

"What is this?" She remained aloof.

"Monitoring!" It was a voice that had never been heard before, "These two people, it's you, and that autistic child, right, talk!" ”

"He's not some autistic kid, these two people are us."

"That's good, during this period of monitoring, there are two of you every day, this garden, no one is more familiar with it than the two of you. It's that guy, right? The sound of the video stopped, and the bold boy continued his questioning.

"I don't know."

"And what is this?"

"Zhao Yujie......" her voice gradually softened, "where did you get it?" ”

"In the grass, in the grass where that happened that night."

I touched my chest, and then I realized that my school card had been gone for a long time, and I hadn't paid much attention to it because I had been wearing it, so was it true that I had fallen in the grass that night?

"I don't know."

Her voice returned to its original coldness.

"Is that so? I don't know ...... if you ask three questions," the bold boy raised his voice.

Oh my God, is this school bullying? I felt that I should report to the class teacher right away.

"What are you going to do?" Just as I was about to turn to leave, Ire-san-san screamed.

"Go up and let her taste some bitterness." With a demonic laugh, the bold boy gave the order.

At this time, the bell rang at ten o'clock, and the quiet of the school building was quickly restored.

"Let go of me!"

No, I've got to rush in! I don't have any plants around that I can use, so I can only fight them with my bare hands? No, I'm still going to have to rush in, it's a violation!

"Stop!" I roared and rushed in.

The ugly-looking boy who had already leaned his head close to Yirui's classmate turned his head.

"Yo, isn't this the 'Demon of Grass and Trees' himself? That day, you were amazing! ”

He laughed wickedly again for some reason, and then approached Yirui-san step by step.

"Yujie, what are you doing here!"

"Let her go, you beasts!" I rushed up, "Assault in school, whatever!" ”

The ugly-looking boy didn't react at all, and I threw him to the ground from the side. I immediately stood up and sideways dodged a shock from the timid boy.

"The response is pretty fast......"

I didn't wait for the daring boy to finish and gave him a hearty uppercut, and he was knocked to the ground by the onslaught.

"Are you still a human being?" I glared at him and roared.

He stood up with his chin covered, and he didn't forget to put the cruel words in his mouth.

"Hey, you two go up together."

"Don't fight!" Yi Rui said in a trembling voice on the side.

"Let's go, Yirui......" I had just said a few words when one of the boys hit me the back, and I lost my balance and fell to my knees. Seeing this, the bold boy immediately rode on top of me.

"It's just in time!" He immediately reached out his fist and slammed it into my body.

"Hmph, I told you...... Dead pervert," I almost ran out of breath, "we have nothing to do with the 'Grass and Tree Demon', a little ...... It doesn't matter at all......"

"Yo? Then your school card ......"

"I don't ...... I know ...... "I feel like it's starting to change in front of me." I closed my eyes and punched him in the face again. He let out a scream of "Ahhh

"Do you dare to fight back?" Instead of covering his face this time, he immediately punched me in the head.

He pressed top of me, and it felt like he was still pressing me hard, and I had some difficulty breathing, and my voice gradually became rapid and staccato.

I was hit the back, and soon I collapsed to the ground with no strength to fight back.

"I will repay the hardships you gave us that day!" He roared angrily, his fists raining down on me, but luckily Eri-san had left the classroom and everything was fine.

How could I do such a thing......

Even though I'm the one who is indifferent, I've never been in trouble at school......

Why would I involve myself in such a matter that I never wanted to get involved in......

But now, it's too late......

I couldn't breathe, I felt my eyes getting darker and darker, and I couldn't help but close my eyes.

"What's going on with you people!" I vaguely heard a particularly majestic voice.

"Not good!"

"You three, get up at once! Let go of Zhao Yujie! ”

Thank goodness my homeroom teacher!

"Come with me to the Church and Politics Office!" His voice was particularly majestic, and the three boys quickly jumped up and walked obediently towards the teacher, "Are you a little measured?" ”

"Chen Yirui, take Zhao Yujie to the infirmary immediately."

"Teacher...... I'm fine......" I said I was fine, but I found that I couldn't stand up.

"Chen Yirui, hurry up!" The head teacher looked angry and yelled at the innocent Yirui. Yirui-san watched me collapse to the ground, and she was so frightened that she didn't dare to move her body since she called the head teacher. Listening to the class teacher's order, she was so frightened that she sobbed.

"You wait for me, sooner or later, I will come up with enough evidence to expose you!" The boy who was caught by the head teacher did not forget to leave a word before leaving.

"Shut up!" The head teacher slapped him on the head heavily.

"It's okay!" Yirui's voice trembled and ran towards me.

Drops of soggy liquid dripped onto my arm.

"What are you crying about, ...... Eri?"

"Why don't you just call the teacher!" She stroked my hair.

"I move...... Not agile enough......"

She wept sadly and reached out to help me up.

"I'm fine...... It's been pressed for a long time...... I was out of breath...... "I felt a sharp pain everywhere," I was fine...... Really ......"

I felt like I was still breathing fast, and my lungs had been compressed for a long time, and it was difficult to recover all of a sudden. I grabbed her hand and tried to get up with her.

Seeing this, she immediately gently hugged me and helped me up.

"I shouldn't be fine......"

"Why......" she cried more and more sadly, hugged me, leaned on my shoulder and cried, "you idiot, why do you fight with them......"

"Don't cry...... I didn't get hurt either......"

I tried to take a deep breath to calm my rapid breathing. Her tears dripped onto my school uniform, hot and quickly cold.

"Don't ......cry," I gradually recovered, "Look at me, it's all right." ”

I twisted my body at her, but it was very painful, and there was no restriction in her movements, which meant that it didn't hurt the bones.

"Really......" her eyes were red.

"Quick, go to the infirmary and let me rest, and then show the teacher my finished homework......" The moment I stood up, my body was in sharp pain, but fortunately, I was mentally prepared and was not exposed to Yirui.

"Fool...... she finally smiled silly, "when is it, still thinking about homework." She was smiling with tears in her eyes, and she looked so cute.

"We did our homework so seriously, didn't we?"

She wiped her tears with her hands and helped me to the infirmary.

"It's not a big deal, it's just a little bruised." After the school doctor checked my body, he walked back to his desk, "These children are real, the beating is not light or serious, and if the spine is injured, it will be really fatal." Hey, the first day of work was so restless......"

"That ......," Yirui stood next to me.

"I'll give him some more medicine and do some treatment. After a while, you may have to move less. ”

Fortunately, although it was the back-to-school day, the school doctor still went to work. I was helped by Yirui to the infirmary, and I felt much more comfortable lying on the bed in the infirmary.

"Then, Yirui, you go back first, remember to check my homework for the teacher."

"Alright......" she turned to me, "then I'll go back first." ”

When she came to the infirmary, I coaxed her for a while before she stopped crying, and her eyes were still red.

Our school doctor is a kind grandmother, who is said to have retired from a big hospital to serve as a school doctor, and we all call her Grandma Zhao. She doesn't usually have much to do, so she often walks in the garden, where there are a few pots of flowers she grows by the pavilion. Eri-san and I often wander in the garden, so it was natural for us to become friends with her.

"You're pretty brave!" Grandma Zhao rubbed something on my wound and said, "Does it hurt?" ”

As she spoke, she poked me lightly on the back.

"Wow!" I screamed in pain.

"You've got bruises on your back, and your bones aren't hurt, so it's a blessing."

"Bruises and stuff are all small things," I said with a smile, "and she, she's fine." ”

"It's nothing at all, thanks to you, she didn't hurt at all!" She helped me up and helped me put on my school uniform with short sleeves.

"Then there's nothing wrong with me?" I buttoned up my short sleeves.

"It's all right," she walked back to her desk, "just be careful, the bruises will go away in a few days." ”

"Well, I'll go then." I left the infirmary before my grandmother could finish explaining what had happened.

A wave of heat is coming. I don't know how long I've been in the air-conditioned infirmary, and I feel very cool. Now there was a sudden burst of heat that made me shiver and sneeze.

"You're finally out!" This time it's no longer Yirui, but Zhang Zhendong.

"Well, it's a hard time."

"You kid can, you just walked away from me and went to everyone, and you still beat the most fierce guy in our class, classmate Zhang Fang, you are quite bold." As he spoke, he put his hand on my shoulder.

"Hmm, it hurts, it hurts......"

"Oh, I'm sorry. Forget you're hurt. He scratched his head.

"The head teacher asked me to tell you that you will also go to the political and educational office when you are well."

"Am I not going to let it go?"

"After all, you beat someone Zhang Yu to the point of a nosebleed."

I even wounded him? I don't know if it's worth rejoicing.

"Hurry up, your Yirui-san is still waiting for you there."

"What do you mean by that?"

"After all, you just saved the beauty of the hero...... he laughed and ran away.

"Stop!"

"You're here." The head teacher said solemnly.

I was still smiling at the beginning, but as soon as I walked into the political and religious office, I was frightened by a strange atmosphere.

"The matter has been understood, and the monitoring has been retrieved," Mr. Li of the Political and Educational Office said into the computer, "From the general monitoring, you should have participated in the brawl out of protection for Yirui, right?" ”

"Yes." Isn't this discerning anyone who can see it?

"Classmate Zhang Yu, you are also like this." Although Zhang Zhen doesn't know where he is now, according to Zhang Zhendong's information, he should have a nosebleed.

"Yes, in self-defense."

"Okay, according to the existing clues, our side also determined that you injured someone out of legitimate defense, and it was out of protection for Yirui, and you can be regarded as righteous and brave."

"Hmm......" Yirui muttered quietly.

"Because it was Zhang Yu who made the first move, and it caused more serious injuries, plus these three people have been punished in other aspects before, our temporary plan is to expel these three classmates, do you have any opinions?"

"Expulsion?" I almost didn't scream.

"Yes, or rather, I won't admit this semester."

"I'm okay with that." The head teacher spoke first with an iron face, completely emotionless.

"I ......"

"I agree." Yi Rui and the next one who didn't know if it was the principal or what the leader replied almost at the same time.

"It's up to you, classmate Zhao Yujie, this matter has been handed over to the public security organs for handling, but whether to expel or not is up to our school to decide, just now the leaders and the head teacher basically expressed no opinion."

"I," I don't think it's a good thing to expel them, on the contrary, maybe without the shackles of the school, they will hurt me more.

"We still have to listen to the opinions of the parties."

I don't know when she approached me, her left arm was completely attached to my right arm, and she poked me in the back, and I almost cried out in pain.

"I agree!"

"Then, it was deliberated and passed in this way, as for Zhao Yujie's righteous and courageous behavior, I will commend it in detail at the morning meeting after the start of school!" Teacher Li stood up, "Then so be it." ”

The head teacher motioned for the two of us to leave the political and educational office at the door.

"What's the matter, Mr. Xie." Yi Rui asked puzzled.

"Nothing. This happened on the first day, and it was caused by my mismanagement, and I apologize to the two of you here. He kept his head down.

"Teacher......" I said in a hesitant voice, "can you not tell my parents about this?" ”

"I'm afraid this won't work, you're injured, but you still have to have an explanation with your parents."

"I'm probably going to be scolded by my dad again......"

"It's okay, we have made it clear here, the parents of the three children should come to apologize after a while, and the school should actively take these responsibilities."

"That's good......" I breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, the teacher didn't expect that you would be the bravest one. The teacher has also taken a good look at the homework you did, you stupid child, you are so badly injured that you can still think about your homework......"

He touched my head, and his voice became extraordinarily gentle.

"The schoolbag has been sorted out for you, and the teacher will finally give you some suggestions on your studies, if you can be as motivated as this summer in the whole senior year of high school, the doors of key universities are still open to you."

"Well, thank you, Mr. Xie." I lowered my head, "Also, I injured classmate Zhang Yu, do I still need to bear any responsibility?" ”

"No, you've done a good job."

It was nearly two o'clock in the afternoon when I was done with all this, and the sun was hanging high above me. Wave after wave of heat swept through my scarred body, making me feel warm. The students had already gone home, and there was no more crowding in the teaching area, except for a few big trees in the flower beds that continued to chirp their own.

The summer vacation is almost over, but our plans have just begun......
