Recently, during recess, Tan Ran would always wander around the teaching building.

When she confirmed that there were no teachers around, she would secretly pull the doors and windows of the classroom to see if they could be opened.

She never had the idea of running away.

Although her life in Kanglong Academy is very difficult, her upbringing is very good, and she rarely eats a ruler on weekdays, at most, the food on campus is relatively bad, and the people are relatively cold, but on the whole, her life is quite passable.

It's different now.

After meeting Gu Lingling, her life has changed subtly.

She used to think it was okay to have no friends. Because she is not good at socializing, she may not be able to make friends after going out.

She doesn't miss her parents either. She was brought in by her parents because of early love. But when she fell in love with the boy, she was seventeen years old.

There is always an incomprehensible gap between her and her parents. She has never been able to forgive this act of hurting herself in the name of love. She even dreamed countless times in the middle of the night that she was pinching her mother's neck, looking hysterical, and suddenly woke up.

Kanglong's place is too cold and too dark. Her mood was also unconsciously infected, becoming suspicious and shrinking.

But now it's different.

Since she met Gu Lingling, her monotonous life has begun to have a warm light.

I don't know when it started—maybe after accidentally seeing Gu Lingling's file, or maybe after seeing Gu Lingling's smile in the middle of the night, she began to have the idea of running away with Gu Lingling.

But she's just an ordinary person. She has no genius intellect and no keen sense of observation. All she can do is to do some hopeless attempts day after day like a fool moving mountains.

However, most of the windows of Kanglong Academy are welded to death. Her attempts were to no avail.

When she realized that she was not capable enough, Tan Ran began to want to ask for help. She didn't tell Gu Lingling about her planned escape, she didn't want her to worry.

In order to be able to escape from Kanglong Academy smoothly, she may need an accomplice.

But in this environment, it is very difficult to find a partner who is willing to flee with you.

Every student in Kanglong Academy wears a mask of hypocrisy. So did herself.

Everyone should keep smiling and talking in front of others when they see their classmates and teachers, and they must also keep a sunny and upward state.

In addition, Kanglong College encourages students to denounce their classmates, and there is also a hierarchy among students, so that when they denounce their classmates, they can reduce their punishment, and even improve their status in the college and become a member of the student union.

Everyone in the student council had "blood" on their hands, and they climbed up on the corpses of their betrayed classmates.

It's no wonder that in hell, it is difficult to protect oneself, and everyone must try their best to save themselves first.

Tan Ran was reluctant to give up. She is also obsessively looking for an opportunity to meet some like-minded people.

So she met Guan Ying.

I met Guan Ying three days ago.

At that time, as she is now, at the end of class, on the pretext of going to the toilet, she wandered around the teaching building, pulling the doors and windows of various classrooms to see if there was a way to escape.

When she tried all the doors and windows of the equipment room on the second floor, she turned her head and bumped into Guan Ying head-on.

The first thing the two did when they saw each other was to retract their hands on the window edge.

Then the two smiled, and then the two exchanged pleasantries.

Tan Ran said that she came to find something, and Guan Ying said that she was too. The two introduced themselves, and Tan Ran knew that she was a student in the cultural and creative class next door. The two said hello and left, and the other party didn't say a word about pulling the window.

Back in the dormitory, Tan Ran was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night.

She seems to have met like-minded friends. Guan Ying also seemed to be looking for a way to escape from the academy.

But in addition to the excitement, she is also scared. She was faintly worried in her heart - if Guan Ying didn't actually plan to escape, then she might be denounced by Guan Ying.

Tan Ran kept her eyes open and stayed awake all night.

The next day, she didn't dare to pry the door or window again.

She lived her campus life carefully, accompanying Gu Lingling all the time, translating the content of the class for her, accompanying her to the toilet, and going to lunch.

When it was time for Calde in the evening, she and Gu Lingling were all right.

Guan Ying did not denounce herself.

While Tan Ran breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, her heart was like a deer.

It was as if she had really met a friend with the same goal.

She wanted to get in touch with Guan Ying — she should have reached out to Guan Ying. One more person, one more strength. Perhaps this is not the main reason, humans are social animals, and when she knows that she is not alone, the joy is indescribable.

But Tan Ran didn't know what to do.

The second time I met Guan Ying was when I was queuing up to take a shower at night.

Someone patted her on the shoulder from behind, she turned her head, and Guan Ying lined up behind her, looking very happy.

"Hello, Tan Ran."

"Ahh What a coincidence......"

"That's right. We don't think we've met in a bathhouse before. ”

"After all, the shower time of each class is staggered...... We came early today. ”

"yes, I'm late today." Guan Ying stuck out her tongue and lit up the bruises on the back of her hand, and Tan Ran's eyes widened:

"You've been beaten?"

"That's right, I couldn't memorize the text when I was Caude tonight...... It was left behind to re-endorse. Guan Ying sighed.

"Looks like it hurts......"

"Yes." Guan Ying looked around, leaned into Tan Ran's ear, and whispered:

"The new Chinese teacher in our class, surnamed Yu, she looks so young, but she is very ruthless in fighting."

"The surname is Yu ......" Tan Ran's pupils shrank slightly.

"Right? What's wrong? ”

"Nothing ......"

Tan Ran pursed her lips and raised her eyes to look at Guan Ying. For a while, there were countless complex emotions circulating in her heart. An impulse overflowed from the chest.

"Guan Ying's ......"

"Huh?" Guan Ying looked at herself: "I'm listening." ”

Tan Ran didn't speak. She wanted to speak, but she stopped. His eyes flickered and he glanced around, and then looked at Guan Ying.

Guan Ying seemed to realize something, her pupils contracted slightly, her lips opened slightly, and she quietly tightened.

"I ......"

"Hmmm......"

"Actually......"

"Hmmm......"

Tan Ran's clenched fist quietly loosened. She breathed a sigh of relief, a smile on her face:

"It's okay, I forgot what I was going to say."

Guan Ying was stunned, blinked her eyes, and quickly reacted, turned her head away, and said haha.

"Really? Forget it, haha......"

"Well, it's okay......"

Someone tugged at his sleeve. Tan Ran quickly turned around, it turned out that Gu Lingling was already in line, and she was signaling to herself, saying that she was going to take a bath.

Tan Ran made a "good" gesture to her. Gu Lingling glanced at her and Guan Ying again, and walked into the bathroom with small steps. Recently, Gu Lingling has been taking a bath very quickly, and Tan Ran doesn't have to worry about her anymore.

It was Tan Ran's turn to take a bath, and when she came out, she said hello to Guan Ying, and Gu Lingling was already waiting for her. She looked at Guan Ying's departing back, blinked her eyes, and gestured to herself curiously:

Is she your friend?

Tan Ran thought about it and replied:

Yes.

After a pause, she pursed her lips, looked at Gu Lingling, and added:

I hope she's our friend.

Because of fear. Tan Ran chose to back down. She still didn't propose to Guan Ying about the planned escape.

But in the dark, she vaguely felt that Guan Ying did have the same thoughts as herself. Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to find herself.

Tan Ran was secretly annoyed by her uncompetitive personality, and vowed that the next time they met, she would tell Guan Ying what she thought.
