Gu Lingling.

He was only three months old and thirteen years old.

It was not her parents who sent her to Kanglong Academy, but distant relatives.

It is reported that it was because the father was imprisoned for life on suspicion of drug abuse and deprived of custody, and the mother had no income, so he was adopted by relatives.

But her relatives apparently didn't like to see the cheap niece. So, the family thought of a way to send her to Kanglong Academy, paid the fees for a semester and left.

The phone number was changed, and the contact address given was also fake.

She is an outcast.

This is still not a reason for Tan Ran to be shocked. Because, below her information, it is also clearly written:

After the father was imprisoned, after investigation, it was found that he was suspected of long-term abuse of his wife and daughter, incest...... Therefore, the first trial sentenced him to life imprisonment ......"

Long-term abuse of wife and daughter.

Incest.

How long is a long term, a year, two years?

Gu Lingling is only twelve years old this year, to be exact.

How old was she a year ago and how old was she two years ago?

Incest ......

Tan Ran's heart was in turmoil.

It's been a long time. Tan Ran regained his strength, grinned distractedly, and smiled.

She staggered out of the principal's room.

People always say that good and evil will be rewarded in the end.

But people clearly know that good fortune is retribution, and bad retribution is also retribution.

The innocent and kind-hearted Gu Lingling was sentenced to life in Kanglong Academy, and the relatives who brought her in were still living their lives peacefully. What Tan Ran should say or do, she didn't know.

Walking out of the school building, the class bell rings. Like frightened sardines, the students poured into the school building, but Tan Ran walked backwards in the crowd, looking like a walking corpse.

If you are caught being late for class, you will be a ruler, and if you are absent from class, you will be a dragon whip.

She didn't know if she cared about it anymore.

Her body drove herself to walk, but her brain couldn't think anymore.

She walked through the playground, through the landscape forest, and she was lucky not to find the instructors patrolling around. She slowly paced to the back half of the school and walked to the vicinity of the dormitory building.

The academy was always quieter during classes than after class, no one was walking on the road, and there was no sound of each other's ears, except for the occasional sound of Lang reading from the teaching building in the distance, nothing could be heard.

Suddenly, a cry of pain came into my ears.

Tan Ran's eyes widened, she suddenly came back to her senses, followed the sound and ran around, bypassing a dormitory building, and finally saw Gu Lingling under the corridor of the boys' dormitory.

Gu Lingling who walked backwards.

Gu Lingling, who was pulled by her hair and dragged away by the little boy little by little.

Tan Ran was in a hurry and ran towards that end:

"Are you crazy!"

She rushed over and hugged Gu Lingling, trying to separate the boy's hands. Although the little boy was only five years old, his hand that grabbed his hair was also deadly, his face was flushed, and he shouted angrily:

"She bullied me! She bullied me! ”

"Don't you see who bullies whom!"

"I'm going upstairs! She won't get on! She's just an orphan, so why wouldn't she listen to me! ”

"You're crazy!"

"You're crazy, your whole family is crazy! You shit! ”

The little boy let go suddenly, Tan Ran didn't grasp the strength, and fell to the ground, the boy flew up and kicked her in the face, she rolled on the ground twice with a muffled grunt, and blood flowed from her nostrils.

Gu Lingling struggled to get up, crawled to Tan Ran crying, and hugged her. Her clothes were ragged and her face was covered in mud marks.

The little boy pounced again, pulled Gu Lingling's hair violently, and pulled down a few strands of force, Gu Lingling screamed in pain. Tan Ran sat up again and dragged Gu Lingling back, the little boy didn't give up, and gnawed at her arm like crazy, Tan Ran screamed in pain, put out a free hand to press on his head, and tried to push him away.

But the little boy was like a mad dog biting at the flesh, and he would not let his mouth shut even if he died. Tan Ran was so painful that she completely lost her mind, leaned against the wall, and subconsciously kicked out and kicked the boy in the chest.

The little boy screamed and rolled on the ground three or four times, and when he got up, he wailed:

"I'm going to tell my mom! I'm going to tell my mom! You're done! I want you two to die, and you both have to die! ”

He shouted as he ran away on his own.

Tan Ran panted and wiped the blood stains between her nose and carefully helped Gu Lingling up. Holding her by his arms, he walked step by step in the direction of the infirmary.

As soon as they turned two buildings and walked to the main road of the school, the two of them heard a hurried voice behind them.

"Over there!"

"It's the two of them!"

Three or four instructors rushed towards the head, one of them holding the little boy who was crying in his hands. Tan Ran was discouraged.

……

……

……

……

When I regained consciousness again, I couldn't hear a sound, and my ears rang badly.

The vision was also blurry, and it was dark everywhere I looked.

Can't feel your body.

The buzzing in my ears became clearer.

“…… This is one of the worst acts in the history of our college...... Blatantly bullying teachers' families, not to mention absenteeism, is a taboo for us at Kanglong Academy......"

Tan Ran was slowly able to see more clearly. She came to her senses and finally realized that the darkness was not due to her eyesight, but because the time had come to night.

How long was she unconscious?

Struggling to remember what had happened, many scattered fragments of memory pierced her brain like fragmentation grenades.

In the boring room, endless beatings.

Again and again in a coma, again and again with cold water poured on them.

It turned out that the numbness of the body was due to scars all over the body.

It turned out that there was a dull pain on the top of his head because someone was tugging at his hair.

She vaguely remembered that a memory of her before she fell into a coma was the song "Farewell" that sounded on campus.

Then it was time for Calder.

So now she's being escorted to the stands.

Being escorted to the stands means being whipped. How many hits do you have to get yourself? Was she confused and missed it for a while?

"Now, after the solemn consideration of our academy, we have decided to punish you with thirty lashes!"

The voice of the mountain chief Liu Binghu suddenly became clear.

The conversation changed again:

“…… However, this time the situation is different. We took the advice of Teacher Sun Shanli and asked the student's accomplice, Gu Lingling, who is also from the Dawn class, to be responsible for holding her down......"

Tan Ran's eyes widened suddenly, and consciousness returned. She remembered why she was here, and she also remembered Gu Lingling's experience today, she tried to turn her head and looked under the stands, where Gu Lingling was crying and being pulled into the stands by several instructors.

- Her clothes were still disheveled, and her bare skin had no new scars. Realizing this, Tan Ran's heart was relieved.

Gu Lingling was dragged to Tan Ran's side and knelt down, and Tan Ran was now pressed to the ground. The two instructors pulled Gu Lingling's hand, pressed it on Tan Ran's shoulder blade, and squeezed Gu Lingling's hand tightly, regardless of whether she understood it or not, shouted hard into her ear:

"Hold on!"

Gu Lingling's cold hands pressed on her back, and Tan Ran seemed to feel that she was trembling all over.

She turned her head effortlessly, squeezing a weak smile at her, as if to say something.

But she could already hear the sound of the air breaking overhead.

……

……

……

……

When she woke up again, Tan Ran struggled to raise her head and saw the familiar, blank and empty walls of the bedroom.

She was already lying on her bed.

It was the dead of night, and Li Mei's slight snoring came from the upper bed. Tan Ran wanted to look at the clock on the wall, and when she moved her body slightly, a sharp pain came from her body.

There is no good place on her body anymore.

I can't move. Even when I breathe, I can feel a dull pain in my ribs. At this moment, she suddenly understood why so many students in Kanglong Academy had thought about seeking death.

In the face of such never-ending suffering, death may be a hundred reliefs.

But now Tan Ran doesn't even have the strength to commit suicide.

A thick sour sensation slowly overflowed his chest. She wanted to cry out loud and unconscious. She remembered how she had been whipped. By the time of the seventeenth blow, she had passed out. But before she fell into a coma, she clearly heard Gu Lingling's heart-rending cry.

She felt aggrieved.

She tried to roll over, but the pain came back at her. Her grievances turned into grief and indignation, and she pressed her desire to cry to death, exhausted all her strength, and turned over on the bed.

So she was finally able to see the clock on the wall.

She didn't feel sleepy, so she watched the clock turn on the wall.

Eleven.

Twelve.

One o'clock in the morning.

Half past one in the morning.

The emotions she was holding were suddenly like a dam that discharged a flood. She couldn't hold back and let out a soft choked sound. He inhaled and exhaled again, no longer allowing himself to let out the slightest cry. But she couldn't control her broken tear ducts, her tears ran across the sides of her cheeks, cold and itchy, but she didn't even have the strength to wipe her tears.

I cried silently for a while. There was a faint sound of rustling beside the bed, and the sound of slippery feet on the cold ground.

Then she felt her quilt lifted. A cool breeze poured in, and soon the quilt was closed again.

Tan Ran was stunned. She turned her head slightly, and caught a glimpse of Gu Lingling who had just gotten into her bed.

Tan Ran took a breath lightly, opened her eyes wide, with surprise and guilt in her eyes, and tried to lift her upper body a little, but was held down by Gu Lingling's hand.

- Gu Lingling stretched out her hand and carefully circled her body. Her movements were very light, and her hands were slightly suspended, not really pressing on Tan Ran's body, she was afraid that Tan Ran would be in pain.

Tan Ran blinked dumbfoundedly.

Gu Lingling carefully retracted her hand again, got out of the quilt, and tucked the quilt for her.

She sat up straight, and the moonlight outside the window shone down her face. Her hair was of various lengths, torn off a bit, and her face was scratched, making her look like a slightly torn, but once delicate Japanese doll.

She put her hand to her lips and made a silent gesture.

Immediately, I began to slowly do a sign language:

You don't want to, speak, I say, it's fine.

Tan Ran nodded lightly.

Gu Lingling pursed her lips and continued to make gestures:

Thank you today, I'm so happy to see you.

Tan Ran nodded.

Gu Lingling continued to make gestures:

But, tonight, I'm sorry, I was too scared to protect you.

Tan Ran shook her head. As if he wanted to say something, he never said it. She blinked slightly and smiled softly.

Gu Lingling looked at her straight, and didn't move for a long time, until Tan Ran began to feel confused, she quietly took a breath, as if she had finally mustered up her courage:

I think, all the time, with you, is it okay?

Tan Ran's pupils contracted slightly. After a while, he smiled and nodded.

Gu Lingling smiled.

This was the first time Tan Ran had seen her smile.
