The wind outside the window cannot blow into this world of white. The world without other sounds seems to be suddenly empty.
Xu Shiyue sat alone in the center of the world and clearly heard the missing beat of her heartbeat.
Lu Shizhen's voice was not very loud, and the vibration of the earphones gently pressed against her ear bones.
Naive, yet paranoid.
The incandescent light faintly drew a round sun in her sight, and cast a warm light on her slightly open palm.
The girl's brows, which had remained calm even when facing Sun Chenchen's vicious remarks just now, frowned slightly.
Sun Chenchen's arrogant voice was extremely vicious, and the sharp voice was particularly far away, like a roar muffled in the cloth: "Xu Shiyue is a waste. Just because her family has a few stinky money, she looks down on everyone. Haha, now her family is ruined..."
"Snapped!"
But the sharp and harsh words had not yet been finished, and they stopped abruptly after a crisp sound.
The delicate long hair that was specially styled was blown up into a mess, and a burning and stinging sensation immediately spread across Sun Chenchen's face.
She was completely stunned, covering her face, and looking at the person standing opposite her in disbelief.
Just after finishing talking to Xu Shiyue, Lu Shizhen stood up slowly.
Then, he turned around and slapped her.
The class, which had been noisy just a moment ago, suddenly became silent, and the faces of the students watching the excitement were filled with astonishment.
The world really became quiet.
Everyone in the class knows that Lu Shizhen likes Xu Shiyue.
But they didn't expect that Lu Shizhen's love for Xu Shiyue had reached this extent.
Get into trouble with others.
Or it was under the surveillance camera facing the back row.
Even the system was shocked.
It nervously rushed around Lu Shizhen, and the unbalanced current also rushed around it: "Host... Host, isn't this a bit too reckless?"
Lu Shizhen disagreed.
She rubbed her wrist which was a little painful from the shock, and said in a yandere voice: "But I am a lunatic."
I don’t know if it’s because I was protected too well by my family, but Lu Shizhen never thought that one person could have such great hostility towards another person. It’s just because the talent and gift of the person who is being treated hostile far exceeds hers.
She still said the same thing.
Xu Shiyue shouldn't have to go through this.
And this method is the fastest way to make this person, and even all those who want to make up stories to mock Xu Shiyue, shut up.
It's the principle of killing one to warn the rest.
Since the system has given her a card of a sick and willful bad person, she should make good use of it.
"Lu Shizhen, you dare to hit me?!"
Sun Chenchen has been pampered by his family since he was born. He has never paid the price for his indulgence, let alone such a slap in the face.
A sharp sound passed through the headphones, making a crackling noise, and the person sitting there frowned slightly.
Sun Chenchen rushed towards Lu Shizhen, shouting as if he was crazy.
Unexpectedly, Lu Shizhen dodged away and she bumped into a classmate next to her like a black fly.
To be slapped in the face, to fail, to make a fool of oneself.
Three consecutive critical hits made Sun Chenchen's eyes wide open, like a mad beast, baring its fangs and claws as if it was determined to tear off a layer of Lu Shizhen's skin.
But before she could retaliate against Lu Shizhen again, a scolding came from the back of the classroom: "Didn't you hear the morning self-study bell? What are you making noise for in class?"
The head teacher Wu Qing crossed his arms and looked at the chaos in the back row. His face was completely dark. "It seems that everyone has memorized Yueyang Tower Records. I will check it in class later. Those who can't memorize it should copy it ten times and hand it in to me after school in the afternoon!"
As she spoke, she cast her eyes on the cello case lying across the doorway and said, "Sun Chenchen, can the cello be placed in the classroom? Why didn't you put it in the rehearsal room of your symphony orchestra as required?"
Sun Chenchen was already filled with anger and grievance. When she heard that Wu Qing not only did not care about her but also scolded her, she burst into tears.
The tearful and forbearing look on her face really made her look as if she had just suffered some terrible injustice.
But Wu Qing had already figured out the tempers of the people in the class, and he didn't indulge her: "The class is about to start, put it where it should be, and deal with it quickly!"
Then she looked at Lu Shizhen who was standing on the other side, raised her hand and said, "Follow me."
The osmanthus tree outside the window was swaying in the wind, and the sunlight shone through the swaying leaves, flickering in the girl's eyes.
The crow-feather-like eyelashes drooped, and the light could only pass through the gray pupils, filling them with obscurity.
Luo Ji was right, this man was a lunatic.
But she really didn't expect that one day she would be protected by such a madman.
"Sorry, I need to disappear for a while."
At this moment, a polite apology came from Xu Shiyue's ear.
She was so calm and gentle, as if nothing that had just happened was done by her.
Xu Shiyue pursed her lips tightly.
She wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.
But before she could formulate what she wanted to say, she heard the sound of cloth sliding past her ears.
It was as if a hood was covering her tightly, and the pale and chaotic world just now became completely quiet and peaceful.
The quietness and peace make people feel a little lonely.
My heart seems to be held up by something.
But there was nothing in this world worth her worrying about.
The sun has no preference and casts the same light on the school.
Two figures, one in front and one behind, were reflected in the quiet and deserted corridor of the teaching building.
This was the first time that Lu Shizhen was called away by the teacher.
Wu Qing listened to Lu Shizhen's "self-review" and looked at her with helplessness. He ordered: "Write a 3,000-word review and give it to me when you're done."
Lu Shizhen was caught off guard by such gentle treatment and blinked several times.
Although the original owner had always disguised himself as a good student with excellent grades in school, wasn't this favoritism a little too obvious
At this time, Xiaoqiu reminded her in her ear: "Your class teacher has been standing at the door of the class since you confronted Sun Chenchen."
Lu Shizhen suddenly understood what he said and nodded quickly, "Okay!"
However, Wu Qing didn't call Lu Shizhen because of what happened just now.
She pushed open the office door and asked casually, "I heard you defend Xu Shiyue just now. Have you been in touch with her recently?"
Lu Shizhen became a little alert when he heard this.
There are too many passers-by like this in the article, and she has no way of knowing whether they are enemies or friends.
But she looked at the photos of various classmates participating in activities on Wu Qing's desk. The photo of Xu Shiyue playing the cello was placed in the most conspicuous place. She hesitated for a moment, but nodded: "Yes."
Although it was expected, Wu Qing's eyes still flashed with a hint of surprise, and then asked: "How is she now? Is her eyes better? Does she want to go back to school?"
She asked with great expectations, but Lu Shizhen's answer disappointed her: "She still can't see, so it might be difficult for her to come back to school."
The cup lid in his hand made a slight sound as it turned. Wu Qing sighed, a little regretful: "The comprehensive ranking of the senior high school department before the National Day holiday has been announced. Shiyue's results are excellent, ranking first in the school, and he can get a recommendation to apply to S University."
"With all that's going on in her family, this quota can be very helpful for her future."
Lu Shizhen's eyes lit up when he heard this.
In the original text, Xu Shiyue was trapped at home by the original owner and did not get a place for admission. He suffered a lot before he got the opportunity to go to college. Lu Shizhen felt very distressed.
Now the opportunity that was supposed to belong to Xu Shiyue in the article has come to her destiny, and Lu Shizhen is no longer the crazy person who wanted to set countless obstacles for her destiny.
"Really, teacher?" Lu Shizhen was a little excited.
Wu Qing nodded, but her expression was not as optimistic as Lu Shizhen's: "But she is still one point short in comprehensive quality. She needs to participate in any activity organized by the school to get extra points."
Lu Shizhen couldn't help but get nervous: "But she is on leave now, can she participate in school activities?"
"It doesn't affect it." Wu Qing shook his head. "Shiyue is actually very good. Many students who have good grades use their senior year to make up for these scores. Few people are like Shiyue, who has both."
"Not long ago, Teacher Chen from the school orchestra came to see me. She felt sorry for Xu Shiyue and told me that they had already rehearsed the orchestra's music last semester and that blindness would not hinder cello performance. If Shiyue could maintain the level of last semester, the principal position would still be hers."
"This can be said to be a plus point that Shiyue can easily get now." Wu Qing said this, looking up at Lu Shizhen standing in front of him, "If you can contact her, it's best to persuade her, okay?"
During morning reading time, the Chinese language group office was empty and the only sound in the silence was the ticking of the clock.
Wu Qing's words were much gentler than before, and contained some subtle hints and temptations.
The teacher will not give up on any of her students.
Lu Shizhen felt a little guilty for the momentary doubt he had towards Wu Qing just now. He nodded solemnly to her and promised, "I understand, teacher."
.
In the languid autumn, the sun slowly set from the dome to the mountainside early in the morning.
The table by the window was covered with a light golden orange color by the setting sun. The girl held a thin brush straight in her arms, and used a ruler to plan the position of the brush. The sound of the brush falling was drawn out, like the old time passing slowly in the oil painting.
“Dangdang.”
Just as Xu Shiyue changed his ink pen and was writing something at the desk, two crisp knocks on the door broke the quiet balance at the moment.
She put down the pen in her hand, picked up a book to cover what she was writing, and walked slowly towards the door.
But unexpectedly, the moment he opened the door, he heard the girl's rough breathing, which was different from the calm breathing when she knocked on the door.
On the first day of school, Lu Shizhen skipped class.
Although I had reported skipping classes to the class teacher.
Lu Shizhen came back running. He just stopped at the door, breathing heavily and there was a thin layer of sweat under his forehead.
As if she was racing with the sun, she did not say much to Xu Shiyue, but shouted to Aunt Sun who was serving food downstairs: "Aunt Sun, help Xu Shiyue get the piano."
Xu Shiyue immediately became nervous: "What are you going to do?"
"Didn't you hear the voice message I sent you?" Lu Shizhen was extremely confused.
Xu Shiyue certainly heard the several voice messages Lu Shizhen sent that morning, but she was not as excited as the person who relayed the messages for her: "Thank you for your kindness, but I can't even go on stage in my current condition."
Lu Shizhen was stunned for a moment.
The setting sun in the room intertwined with the lights in the corridor, falling brightly and dimly on the girl standing at the intersection.
Behind that cold, lonely and alienated feeling there seemed to be a layer of gloom that prevented any light from penetrating, and this combined with the pair of calm yet empty eyes.
She can't see.
Just like I couldn't walk in the past.
My heart suddenly felt a little painful.
Lu Shizhen took a deep breath and pretended to be relaxed, "You don't have to walk to get on stage. You just need to sit on the chair on the stage, right?"
Xu Shiyue couldn't help but frown.
What a fallacy this is.
The sudden silence in the corridor made Lu Shizhen a little uneasy. She just held on to her precarious points and changed her mind with a strong desire to survive: "Besides, don't you just want to take revenge on Sun Chenchen, the idiot who succeeded in his villainy? Who is the one who is unworthy of the position?"
"It may not sound very kind to say this, but don't you want her to pay the price for her words and actions? Use the needle under your piano's butt to nail her to the ground and rub her hard."
Lu Shizhen's voice was sonorous. Although it was clearly a question, it made people feel that it should be done as she said.
People should pay the price for their actions.
If they refused, she shouldn't mind sending them there herself...
It seemed like something had loosened, and several stones that were piled up on top rolled down, making a rattling sound in Xu Shiyue's ears.
Perhaps because he was so excited, Lu Shizhen actually reached out and grabbed Xu Shiyue's wrist.
The swaying and burning sun outside the window overlapped with the tall and thin figure of the girl. Her black eyes were like natural gems, firmly engraved in Xu Shiyue's sight.
"Xu Shiyue. You are not alone."
"Just play your piano and leave the rest to me."
