During the whole physical education class, Shen Yelan was a little out of his mind.
Only when she was swimming in the water and couldn't hear the sounds in the stadium, she could be a little more normal and focus on the short track swimming in front of her.
Perhaps because of her sighing, her grades were exceptionally good today, and she was close to being excellent.
Usually, she would not be so top-notch, because she knew that Lu Pei would definitely find her an eyesore. Once she offended her in such an inexplicable place, it would be difficult for her to live a better life.
But since this broke today-
Shen Yelan was suddenly no longer afraid.
She realized that no matter how careful she was, for Lu Pei, as long as she was still alive in this world and breathing the same air as the other person, they would be unhappy.
Sometimes you don't need a reason to like or dislike it.
After swimming out of the water, Shen Yelan didn't even look in the direction of Lu Pei. She looked around the stadium, but found that the most dazzling light had disappeared.
Sitting by the pool, she felt inexplicably drained of all the strength in her body, and she was not interested in gym class.
She thought, maybe she was hungry without having breakfast.
…
God is especially hard to get along with Shen Yelan today.
As school approached in the afternoon, the language teacher just took her to recite after class. When she passed by the corridor outside the classroom, she saw that the sky outside was gray and covered with dark clouds, so gloomy that it seemed that a shower was about to fall.
It's the weather she hates.
When she came back from Teacher Yu's office, as expected, there was no one in Lu Pei's seat. You didn't need to think about it to know that this person didn't wait for her and went home first.
Since the first time she was tricked like this, Shen Yelan walked back to her aunt and uncle's house in the rain. After two days of high fever, she hated rainy days.
Even though she has always carried an umbrella in her bag since then, her disgust with this weather has gone deep into her bones.
The transparent umbrella was unfolded. Shen Yelan carried her schoolbag and walked outside the teaching building. On the way, she lowered her head to look at the road, for fear that she would step on a puddle and let water enter her shoes.
As a result, on the side of the road, a taxi galloped past, just passing through a depression, splashing the muddy water inside—
The muddy water flew in and hit the top of the umbrella, and the rest fell on her school uniform trousers, wetting the dark blue fabric and smearing black.
Shen Yelan stood for a while with an ugly expression, not even knowing who to attribute this misfortune to.
After a long time, she took a step back and walked along the path that the vehicle could not enter.
She didn't know where to turn when she suddenly heard a faint whine.
Like the cry of some wounded animal.
Shen Yelan couldn't help but follow the movement, and after turning the corner, she was stunned by the curtain that fell into her eyes—
The fair-skinned girl held an umbrella, and the umbrella surface was tilted to the wooden box next to it. The fine water fell on the ground. The box was covered with colorful floral fabrics, and a fluffy yellow puppy was lying on her back, looking like a butterfly. Her ears drooped, she licked her fingers with her tongue while eating the ham that the girl had fed.
Then he made a milky voice: "Ow! Ow!"
Pointy and dumb and excited.
"Eat less, this is too salty, and it's not good for your health. I'll buy you something else, okay?" The girl didn't notice the extra figure not far away, she raised her hand and touched the puppy's ear, the voice It's unprecedented tenderness.
Who else could this person be if not Xu Jiao
Shen Yelan inexplicably took two steps closer.
Then, she saw the wound on the puppy's forelimb, with deep bones.
"Is it hurt?" Shen Yelan asked unconsciously.
Hearing the movement, Xu Jiao looked up at the extra sneakers in her sight. Seeing that it was Shen Yelan, she nodded calmly.
Then it's gone.
Shen Yelan felt a moment of suffocation.
She was always bored and would not take the initiative to talk to people. When the girl lowered her head to tease the dog again, she even squeaked out a sentence:
"If this injury is not treated quickly, it will get worse. I know there is a pet store nearby... You, are you going?"
Xu Jiao stopped, looked up at her again, and looked at her, as if she didn't understand why the two of them didn't know each other well, why she suddenly became enthusiastic about herself.
After a pause, Xu Jiao said, "I'm waiting for the rain to stop. Now I have to hold an umbrella to hold it, which is inconvenient."
Hearing her extremely cold and sweet voice, Shen Yelan clenched her umbrella handle tightly, and heard the hoarseness in her suppressed voice:
"I can hold an umbrella for you."
Why are you so nervous
Shen Yelan was puzzled when she listened to her tone-changing voice.
Is it because of Xu Jiao's fierce reputation
Before she could figure out her own psychology, the girl nodded and handed her the umbrella calmly, then leaned over and rolled up her trousers before picking up the small wooden box containing the puppy.
This time, Shen Yelan finally saw the true face of the tattoo on her right ankle.
Although a small part of it went into the socks, the part that came out turned out to be a hollow cross, long horizontally and vertically, surrounded by thorns.
The pure black pattern reflected the skin at her ankles almost pale, the extreme color difference impacted a strong visual effect, and the thorns surrounding the cross, like light tainted by darkness.
It is holy, and it is fallen.
The strong contradictions and contrasts were concentrated everywhere, making Shen Yelan stop breathing, until the umbrella in his hand was crooked, and the umbrella handle touched Xu Jiao's forehead inadvertently.
She regained her senses, but was even more shocked, she didn't dare to move, her body was tense, for fear that she would suddenly kick herself out.
As a result, Xu Jiao stared blankly at her for a long time, and finally asked:
"Don't go?"
Shen Yelan escaped the calamity again, her eyes hurriedly averted, and she hurriedly led her to where she was going.
She didn't dare to get too close to Xu Jiao, her arms holding the umbrella stretched out, covering most of the umbrella above the girl's head, and her shoulders silently became wet.
But she didn't feel cold.
Her eyes were always glued to the tall and straight figure in front of her, and she walked straight into the pet store like this, and she didn't notice until she was stopped:
"Hey, this classmate, the umbrella is closed."
…
"In this case, you need stitches and a minor operation. You can go to eat first and come back in time, so you don't have to wait here."
The pet doctor wore a white coat, looked at the sky outside, and gave advice to Shen Yelan and Xu Jiao kindly.
Shen Yelan glanced at Xu Jiao and realized that it was time for her to leave, but she couldn't say goodbye and stood beside her pretending to be dumb.
At this moment, Xu Jiao suddenly turned to look at her and asked without warning, "Please have dinner, what would you like to eat?"
Before Shen Yelan's mind could react, a rejection came out of his mouth: "No need."
Xu Jiao was not surprised at all, she didn't even look surprised, she calmly accepted her rejection, only looked her up and down, and changed her words:
"I owe you a favor today."
"There is a chance to pay you back another day."
Shen Yelan... She was a little flattered.
In fact, when she refused, she already regretted it a little, but when she heard this, she felt as if she had earned something better than a meal.
and…
Is the temper of this school bully much better than the rumors
She took an umbrella, walked out of the pet store, and returned to her aunt and uncle's house.
As usual, she ate cold food, then took three minutes to take a shower, soaked everyone's clothes, and threw them into the washing machine—this was her aunt's unique cleanliness. .
When she was doing things, her aunt would ramble on beside her:
"Don't throw the socks in, they're dirty, don't wash my panties and Pepe's..."
Shen Yelan washed the clothes in silence until she sensed that the shadow was approaching.
She looked up, and at some point, Lu Pei was standing outside the toilet, looking at her strangely:
"When did you meet Xu Jiao? Shen Yelan, don't learn badly from those people, or I'll tell my mother."
Shen Yelan was unmoved, lowered his head to wash his clothes again, and replied casually:
"Unfamiliar."
Lu Pei breathed a sigh of relief, and sneered again: "I think so too, Xu Jiao hates people with good grades the most, she wouldn't want to know a boring gourd like you."
It was obviously true, but Shen Yelan felt extremely uncomfortable in her chest.
She raised her eyes to look at Lu Pei, but the other party had already turned and left.
…
Perhaps it was because what she experienced today was too unusual. Shen Yelan's heart was always like a stagnant pool of water, as if a stone had been thrown by someone, and the ripples caused her to be unable to calm down for a long time.
After finally falling asleep, she had another dream.
In the dream, pink paper origami roses fell all over the floor.
And she pressed a girl who couldn't see clearly and instinctively thought she was very good-looking under her body. The other party seemed to be very scared, pushed her away, and wanted to climb forward.
On the white and thin ankles, the black hollowed-out cross was entangled with thorns, which was particularly eye-catching.
Shen Yelan stretched out his hand to hold the ankle as if enchanted, then lowered his head and leaned over—
"call."
In the middle of the night, in the small utility room, the girl suddenly sat up, raised her hand to support her forehead, and lowered her head, as if she had a nightmare.
For a long time, she whispered in a low voice, as if she was talking to herself:
"Are you a pervert..."
The room was very quiet late at night, and no one could answer her question.
She raised the corners of her lips, pulled the quilt and lay back, but when she closed her eyes, the beautiful ankle with shiny skin appeared in front of her—
The perfection seen during the day has changed.
The fair skin around the cross has turned red, and if you look closely, you will find that there are deep circles of teeth marks on it, and the color is so heavy that it seems to drip blood.
