Chapter 6: The Price of Bravery

There are countless sequences of time, diverging, converging and parallel times woven into an ever-growing, intricate web....... Most of the time, we don't exist; At some point, there is you and not me; At other times, there is me and not you; For a little longer, you and I exist. —————— Borges

"The whole school reported that Chen Xing, class 4 of the second year of high school, repeatedly harassed the girls in the same class, which has caused serious adverse effects, and decided through the discussion and decision of the Academic Affairs Office, Chen Xing was given a demerit punishment, Chen Xing carried out a month of ideological education at home, and hoped that Chen Xing would reflect on it and stay in school for a long time after returning to school, and if it was found that there were still disciplinary violations, he would be expelled from school. I hope that other students will take this as a warning, and if there is similar behavior, they will be severely punished. ”

"The final exams will be held next month, and I hope that all the students in the school can study wholeheartedly and prepare well."

The sound of the radio wafted through the empty campus.

After this matter is resolved, shouldn't I think about the issues that I should consider as an ordinary high school student? That is, it's time for the exam. It wasn't until I was 30 years old that I realized that nothing can be done with hard work, but only by learning is closest to hard work, and how much hard work you will gain. Although every student will find it boring to study every day, it is indeed a surefire business. It's so ironic, I only placed the answer to the order yesterday, and today I decided to change my mind and be a good person under the pressure of the exam, hoping that God didn't see my inconsistent behavior and punished me for failing the exam, after all, the prodigal son didn't change his money.

I spread out the book, and I had a headache when I read those analytic geometry problems, but I could only squeeze out my remaining memories and IQ repeatedly, and began to write desperately one by one.

Qin Shen came to me to copy my homework, but I refused, and Tang Seng began to persuade him to study.

"Aren't you doing well in grades, why don't you play after class? Why are you working so hard? Qin Shen sat in the empty seat in front of me, like a docile big dog, dragging his chin with both hands and watching me do the question.

"In order to make money in the future." I was helpless.

"But what if I'm already rich." Qin Shen replied seriously.

Forehead...... What he said actually makes some sense, his family really doesn't need to think about making money. I thought about it for a while and said, "I can't completely say that learning is to make money, as a person who has come over, I think that studying more can give me the ability to think independently, so that I can know what I want and what I don't want, and start to understand what is meaningful to me." ”

The corners of Qin Shen's mouth raised: "Do you know, I almost wanted to call your mother just now, are you as conservative and rotten as the kind of person in your thirties and forties, Aunt Yuan?" ”

I stuck my tongue out, little brat, these words may sound cliché, but when you reach my age, you will know that many of the annoying things that adults say are true!

"Okay, okay, I heard what you said, so let's do you dare to make a bet with the uncle, if I can be in the top 50 of the grade in this final exam, you have to promise me a condition!"

"But you're 200 now....."

"You just say that you dare to bet with me, if I lose, I promise you a request, and you can buy whatever you want."

"Then I want a crystal bracelet!" When I was in high school, I liked crystal bracelets the most, in fact, the price was only a few hundred yuan, but at that time, for a girl from an ordinary family, it was out of reach. By the time I got to work, I had the ability to earn money, but I didn't like crystal bracelets for a long time.

"Yes, that's a deal. So what do you do when you lose? Going to my house to be a maid? Help me serve tea and shoes? ...... Let me think about it. ”

"You won't be able to get into the top 50 anyway, so wait for the bracelet to be handed in." In my impression, Qin Shen's grades were still very bad in his sophomore year of high school, so this bet on me is inevitable.

I continued to study with my head down, and I had imagined countless times that if I came to high school again, I would definitely study harder and with more high morale, and I would not be disturbed by annoyances. Unexpectedly, when I really returned to high school, I didn't know anything, and I couldn't endure hardship, and if I continued like this, it would be difficult for me to even be admitted to my original university! I was so scared that I hurried out of the door to study. Every time I go to class, the teacher can see that my eyes are full of thirst for knowledge.

"Don't you think Qin Shen has been hanging around next to Yuan Wenqian lately? Yuan Wenqian has been too rampant recently. Liu Yun said to Wang Shuya.

"That slut! She actually dared to slap me, wait for me, I must give her some color. "Wang Shuya has always been secretly in love with Qin Shen, watching more and more scandals between Qin Shen and Yuan Wenqian, and the relationship between the two is getting closer and closer, it can be said that new hatred and old hatred come together, and Yuan Wenqian has become a thorn in her side." After school, if I don't teach her a lesson, I won't be my Wang Shuya! Wang Shuya's fierce eyes seemed to be about to eat people.

I studied for the first time for a day, and after 9 o'clock in the evening self-study, I already felt that my eyes were black, my small shoulders could not bear my heavy head, and the whole person was staggering.

When I walked at night today, I felt a little strange, maybe as a girl a little sensitive, I always felt that someone was following me behind me, but when I turned around, it seemed that there was no more, but there was always a distant footstep sound, I stopped to see who it was, but the footsteps stopped again. There were no people on my way home, and I had to walk through a small alley where the lights were dim. Maybe I've watched too many suspense movies and I'm a little sensitive. I paid a little attention and noticed that the frequency of footsteps behind me was indeed very strange, and it was really following me. I stopped, and they stopped. Looks like I'm really being followed! But I didn't have my phone with me, so I couldn't contact anyone.

My heart panicked, quickened my pace, I can only get out of here quickly, it's too dark here, I have to hurry to a place where there are people, otherwise in this kind of alley I can't call for help even if something happens, I finally admit that I am still a weak woman in my attributes, no matter who is following me, I have no chance of winning alone.

Plopping, my heart began to breathe erratically, and it was getting faster and faster. I was enveloped by an atmosphere of danger, and I began to rush forward desperately.

Unexpectedly, before I could run a few steps, a person behind me pounced like a bow and arrow, and before I could reach and scream hysterically, the man covered my mouth with one hand from behind, and carried me vigorously with one hand into the aisle next to the alley.

That aisle is used for sundries and bins, and the space is small and hidden. I thought to myself that I was finished, I was caught by the gangsters, and I might have to die halfway through the life that I had just started. I would never have thought that I would be twenty-eight years old and drive a crane west in the hands of a gangster. I was really desperate and frightened, but I didn't forget to use my last strength and courage to fight the gangsters to the death. I began to flutter with my hands and feet, like a dying rooster in the wet market before being taken to his head. I scratched and scratched frantically, one foot supporting the ground, and the other foot kicking the back fiercely, threatening to inflict a heavy blow on the gangsters! What I think is that we must not die in vain at the hands of this criminal! He's going to have to be beaten by me at least with a broken arm and a leg!

The man twisted my body and hugged me as I was thrashing.

"That's enough, don't move anymore." The man's voice was low and small, with a hint of anger, "Don't make any more noises. ”

I was pressed into the man's broad embrace, unable to move, my forehead reaching his chest, his face not yet visible in the darkness, but the familiar scent had quickly enveloped me, and the ocean-like scent flooded my nose and throat.

I looked up at him and met his eyes, his glass-clear brown eyes flickering.

"It's me."
