Tan Ran's hands were numb with pain, and she almost lost consciousness. The words written with the pen in his hand were all distorted and unrecognizable.

Gu Lingling has been watching it all the time. But she couldn't talk to Tan Ran quietly, the two could only communicate in sign language, and in class, the two would be very conspicuous when they did sign language to each other. She didn't want Tan Ran to be punished by Sun Shanli again because of this.

When it was time for the end of class, Gu Lingling finally mustered up the courage to tap Tan Ran's shoulder and slowly do sign language.

Are you okay?

Tan Ran's lips were a little white, but she still smiled, shook her head, and signaled that she was okay.

Gu Lingling seemed to want to say something, pursed her lips, and shook her head.

She said in sign language:

You have to rest well. No, give it to me, translated.

Tan Ran was stunned and winked at her.

In the following lessons, whenever the teacher mentioned important parts, Tan Ran would still take the initiative to interpret sign language for Gu Lingling. Gu Lingling opened her mouth slightly, trying to persuade her to rest, but she didn't dare, so she had to lower her head slightly.

When it was time for lunch, the students walked unhurriedly along the school road to the cafeteria. Gu Lingling lined up in front of Tan Ran, and after finishing the meal, she bowed to the aunt in the cafeteria, and asked her to wait for Tan Ran.

After Tan Ran finished cooking, she quietly took a breath, pulled Tan Ran's sleeve, and led her to a corner of the cafeteria.

Tan Ran was confused in her heart, the two of them usually don't sit there, and the smell of oil smoke in that row is strong, and no one cares about it.

But Gu Lingling seemed to have made up her mind to go over there.

After the two sat down, Gu Lingling hurriedly made a sign language:

Your hand, injured, eating, is it okay?

Tan Ran shook her head and smiled:

It's okay.

Gu Lingling stopped talking again. She hung her hands on her laps, clutched her pants, and stopped talking.

Tan Ran blinked, curious in her heart, and stretched out her hand to shake it in front of her:

What's wrong? Is there something you want to tell me?

Gu Lingling hesitated for a moment and nodded.

I think I might know who reported you.

Tan Ran was stunned. Regarding what happened in Fang Cai's class, she had already explained it to Gu Lingling after class. But she didn't expect that Gu Lingling, who couldn't hear any voice at all, would actually know the information of the whistleblower.

She looked at Gu Lingling's gesture in silence.

That day, after you were called out by Teacher Yu Zhen, Li Mei also followed and went out.

Tan Ran was stunned, and her pupils contracted slightly.

Li Mei is a roommate who shares the dormitory with the two, and there is no communication on weekdays, only smiling and saying hello when they meet, and most of the time they are strangers.

In fact, Tan Ran didn't communicate much with most of the classmates.

It's not because she has a withdrawn personality, otherwise, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to choose to be Gu Lingling's tablemate and translate for her.

It's just that Li Mei is still a roommate who looks down and doesn't look up, if what Gu Lingling said is true, the whistleblower is really her......

Tan Ran's heart was filled with bitterness.

Gu Lingling was still gesturing:

I remember that Li Mei was given 20 minutes of caution for stealing snacks. However, in the evening Calder, the teacher did not hit her......

The meaning of Gu Lingling's words, Tan Ran is also very clear.

Students at Kanglong Academy can reduce the punishment they received that day if they report to the teacher that their classmates have secretly committed mistakes - and if they report more frequently, they can even be "upgraded". Get sheltered by some teachers.

The most powerful among the students is the student principal, and the student principal's life in Kanglong Academy can be regarded as nourishing, not only is he not punished, but he often has the opportunity to accompany the teacher on his errands and go out for a walk.

The student president even has the right to record the bad behavior of the students and hand it over to the mountain chief Liu Binghu to apply for a dragon whip. The students of the whole school, when they meet the principal of the student, must be treated with the same respect as the teacher - this is already an unwritten rule.

Tan Ran thought about it, shook her head and smiled, and gestured and said:

It doesn't matter.

Gu Lingling's eyes widened, her expression full of surprise.

Why?

I'm not quite sure why. Tan Ran tapped her eyebrows with her fingers, made a distressed expression, and continued:

I think what we should hate is this school, the instructors of the school, and the bad teachers.

Whether it's Lingling, you, me, or other classmates, in this school, we are all victims.

If we can't unite ourselves, it's too painful to live in this school.

After listening to these words, Gu Lingling couldn't understand it well, and opened her mouth slightly, looking very confused.

Tan Ran smiled and continued:

My classmates don't like me for a reason.

Gu Lingling was stunned and kept blinking.

"I should be the only student in this school who took the initiative to enroll."

Tan Ran had a bitter smile on her face.

"I'm not a good boy, and when I was sixteen, I liked a boy. My parents found out and forced me to change schools. During that time, I was really not in a good mental state, so I thought about finding a quiet place, preferably away from my parents...... Then, I saw an advertisement for Kanglong Academy on the Internet. ”

"The ad is completely different from what it actually is, but I don't really know, I don't know at all...... I persuaded my parents, and they agreed to send me over to see them. When I first came, it happened to be Parents' Day, and the atmosphere in the school was really good, everyone was very polite, some people were reciting ancient poems, and some people were playing guzheng...... It wasn't until I came in that I realized that all these things were fake. ”

Tan Ran smiled bitterly and gestured:

"It was also because the day of admission was Parents' Day, so I didn't get locked up in the boring room. It wasn't until the next day, when classes resumed normal, that I began to realize that something was wrong with the whole school...... But it was too late. ”

"Because I enrolled on my own initiative. My classmates have consciously or unconsciously distanced themselves from me...... Maybe it's because they think I'm an outlier and can't share their feelings......"

After finishing speaking, Gu Lingling was silent for a while, pursed her mouth, and raised her head again.

She mustered up the courage to look directly at Tan Ran and stretched out her hands.

Tan Ran was puzzled, and subconsciously handed her hands up.

Gu Lingling held her hand, folded it, and wrapped it in her palm. Her palm was much smaller than Tan Ran's, and she couldn't wrap it at all. She leaned closer, lowered her head, and gently kissed Tan Ran's fingertips with her lips.

There was a soft touch from her fingertips, Tan Ran was startled, Gu Lingling had already retracted her hand like an electric shock, and her little face turned a lot red.

She stopped talking, picked up the spoon, and buried herself in the food on the table.

Tan Ran came to her senses and smiled softly.

The two of them ate their lunch in silence.

Because after chatting for a while, by the time we finished eating, it was close to twelve forty, and the classmates were basically gone. The two hurriedly packed up their lunch boxes and rushed to the classroom. If you can't get back to the teacher at 45 minutes, you will be fined for being late for lunch break.

When they walked out of the cafeteria, the two of them were confronted by groups of students from the zero class who came to the cafeteria with lunch boxes.

The whole class was quiet, frighteningly quiet, and on this dry winter day, many people were steaming above their heads, and some were walking weakly.

It seems that today's zero-breaking class has also experienced a morning of inhumane physical training.

The two girls slowed down, lowered their heads slightly, and passed by the line, not daring to make eye contact with the students in the zero class.

Every time I see the zero class, the other students feel very subtle in their hearts, it is an emotion between happiness, pity and fear at their fingertips. Everyone is afraid to join the zero-breaking class.

Walking to the end of the line, Tan Ran finally raised her head and happened to bump into an acquaintance head-on.

In fact, I don't know each other very well, but relatively speaking, everyone in the school has had a relationship with this student.

He was whipped fifty times by the mountain chief.

Tan Ran was curious about him in her heart, and couldn't help but look at him twice. The student didn't say a word, as if revealing an aura that no one else should enter, and even walking seemed extremely attentive. Tan Ran didn't dare to look at it anymore, and quickly withdrew her gaze.

Gu Lingling was also observing the students in the zero-breaking class. What she cared more about was not the one named Lan Silin. She noticed that behind Lan Silin, at the end of the line, there was a little boy of his age, carrying a lunch box, soaked in sweat, walking staggeringly, looking pitiful.
