"Shake M, you know! That's what she is like!"
Su Xi's voice was so loud that it echoed throughout the living room, and even Shen Yelan, who came out of the bathroom and was about to pour a glass of water, could hear it clearly.
Perhaps it was because of his usually not lively personality, when Shen Yelan looked at people calmly, those calm, dark eyes always gave people an inexplicable pressure.
Lu Pei has always hated her eyes.
Now that Su Xi turned around after speaking, she suddenly caught her gaze and was startled. On the one hand, she felt a little guilty.
Su Xi was shocked by her own association, and she was caught talking ill of people behind her back. For the first time, she chose to take the initiative to avoid Shen Yelan. He went back to the sofa, picked up the pen and bit the cap, pretending to be doing a question.
Shen Yelan raised her hand to fasten the decorative belt on the black shorts, glanced at Su Xi lightly, and moved her fingertips flexibly on the black belt. After a while, she walked silently to the wall-mounted water dispenser. Pour yourself a glass of water.
Finding her back to this side, Su Xi quietly raised her eyes and looked over, thinking in confusion:
Is Shen Yelan angry
Or are you used to being bullied at school, so immune to this kind of talk
But to be honest, if she heard someone say that about herself behind her back, she would definitely be angry, after all, she would go over and flatten the guy to the ground.
Su Xi bit her pen and struggled for a while, and finally decided not to live with herself, and said:
"Hey."
Shen Yelan stopped drinking water for a while, and looked over with a side face.
Su Xi's eyes wandered, a little uncomfortable, and her voice was erratic, revealing a little awkwardness: "The one I said just now..."
Having said this, she stopped, as if she wanted to apologize, but also to make a sophistry.
Shen Yelan could hear her entanglement in her voice. Thinking of the relationship between this guy and Xu Jiao, she pursed her lips slightly, spreading the cool moisture on her lips, and said lightly:
"What? I didn't hear."
Su Xi breathed a sigh of relief. She was not the type who would take the initiative to apologize to people. If it wasn't because Xu Jiao told her last time that this person was a guest, she would not even have been entangled just now.
The hand holding the pen waved to the other party, and Su Xi immediately said: "It's okay! It's nothing!"
It's best not to hear.
She put the matter behind her for a moment, and bowed her head down to the wicked subject with sincerity.
On the contrary, it was Shen Yelan. She returned to the room with the cup in her hand. After closing the door, she was in no hurry to return to the table with the books spread out. She pressed her back against the cold wooden bedroom door and took a deep breath.
What Su Xi said just now is still echoing in her mind.
But she wasn't angry.
Because she knows that her own mind... is much scarier than what Su Xi described.
Shen Yelan didn't have any strange thoughts about herself, but—
Delusions about another person.
Especially recently, as she learned more and more skills from Holly, the things she dreamed about at night became more and more outrageous.
She took another sip of cold water, calmed herself, and slowly let out a breath. After she calmed down, she returned to the desk and buried herself in the boundless study.
…
The pale blue curtains fluttered slowly with the wind blowing in through the cracks of the windows.
The warm-colored light illuminates human skin into a creamy white, a kind of white with a porcelain glow. Once you touch it, you can't turn your eyes away.
Shen Yelan stared at the person in front of him, the panic, excitement and bewilderment that he had dreamed of at the beginning was no longer in his eyes, but an expected calm.
here we go again.
she thinks.
Even though she had dreamed many times, she still couldn't resist this person. She didn't even need to look in the mirror to know that the look in her eyes at this moment must be obsessed and greedy.
Shen Yelan walked slowly to the side of the bed, watching the silky and smooth black hair falling from the back of the neck of the person in the bed and into the folds of the sheet, the thin quilt could not cover the person. The smooth shoulders even allowed her to see each other's shoulder pockets.
She held her breath and looked at the small group of lights falling on the other party's round shoulders, as if to welcome an unknown surprise and slowed down.
The edge of the bed sank a little because of the extra weight. Before Shen Yelan could get close, she heard a cold and cold voice: "Are you here?"
Shen Yelan didn't know why she was here, and she couldn't remember how all this happened, but she took it on without any sense of disobedience: "Well."
The person lying in the quilt moved, his face turned to the side, some of the messy hair fell on her face, and some lay in her neck socket and collarbone, and you could still vaguely see that. I don't know if the clothes are still bright red.
But this was not what attracted Shen Yelan the most.
The other party didn't know whether it was because he drank too much or what, his face was flushed, and his usually calm eyes were also blurred, as if he was about to cry at any time, but when he looked carefully, there was not much wetness in his eyes.
Shen Yelan heard the "mumble" sound in his throat.
Her voice was inexplicably hoarse and light, as if she was afraid of being disturbed: "Sister Xu Jiao... What's the matter with you?"
Xu Jiao looked at her and raised her neck slightly so that Shen Yelan could see more clearly.
Only then did Shen Yelan discover—
The other person's neck is not any cloth.
Instead, the red rope.
Going around in a weird way, the remaining part got into the quilt, and people couldn't see what was going on at all.
Too bright colors always give people a strong sense of impact. Shen Yelan recalled the thorn tattoo on Xu Jiao's ankle almost instantly. The two are the same.
Thinking of the pattern of the tattoo, even in a dream, Shen Yelan could feel her heart beat strangely twice.
She heard Xu Jiao say in that cold and indifferent voice, "Help me untie this."
Shen Yelan heard her voice, her throat was dry, and she harbored a bit of ulterior motives. She wanted to meet the cross and thorns again, but she couldn't bear to refuse Xu Jiao's request.
So in the end, she stretched out the index finger of her right hand and gently hooked the crimson rope between the fragile neck of the other party. She thought she could pick out the rest, but who knew that the person in the quilt looked like a fish on a cutting board. Like, in vain, she raised her neck along the way with her strength.
A strange sound came out of his mouth.
It's like a muffled hum, and it's like a nasal voice that is suppressed to the extreme.
It was just a very soft voice, but Shen Yelan was startled, the first knuckles that restrained the rope subconsciously loosened, the force was relieved, and Xu Jiao lay back on the bed again.
Shen Yelan let go of his hand like a bird frightened. In the next moment, he didn't know what to think of based on the traces of the rope. He suddenly raised his hand to reach the quilt, and then, bit by bit, opened it—
…
"Di Di Di Di Di Di Di Di Di Di Di!"
The screeching alarm clock rang.
Shen Yelan suddenly opened his eyes, raised his hand to reach the clamoring alarm clock on the table, but because the waving motion was too large, he accidentally patted the iron shell of the alarm clock, and hit the thing to the ground with a "snap", but the little one. Iron Box didn't shut his mouth because of this, and he screamed more and more cheerfully, making the nerves in people's brains jump.
The pain in her fingers and everything in the dark room reminded her:
Everything just now was just a dream.
Those charming, with the thin sweat on her temples, slowly evaporated into the air.
Shen Yelan exhaled softly, raised her hand to turn on the light, leaned over to pick up the alarm clock, flipped the bell switch, and turned off the noisy movement.
Another new day.
If there is anything new in life, it is...
In the previous monthly test, she performed normally and returned to the first class.
Also, Xu Jiao also arrived in class.
I heard that Xu Jiao had applied to be transferred from a sports student to a liberal arts student. There were gradually some strange rumors in the grades, such as "a generation of school bullies are hurt by love, and they devote themselves to the cultural construction of the motherland", "people who fight no matter how powerful they are". After all, I also need to learn", "It's true that the test is successful in the disappointment of love"...
The most outrageous thing is that some people say that Xu Jiao finally felt the joy of learning because she was at the same table with a nerd like Shen Yelan in class 7, so she had an epiphany overnight.
Shen Yelan scoffed at the last statement.
But in any case, thanks to these outrageous rumors, after returning to the first class, her life was much more peaceful than before, which could be called peace.
Even Lu Pei, who was always unhappy with her before, seemed to be frightened by the previous Xu Jiao's beating.
Only occasionally would Shen Yelan find that Lu Pei always looked at him with that kind of hatred in secret.
If it was in the past, she would start to worry about what the other party was doing.
But now, there is only peace in Shen Yelan's heart.
…
"Brother, do we need to come here so early? Everyone in our society has a nightlife. Wouldn't it be better to come over after school?"
"You know the shit. Big brother said that there are many people after school. What if you miss it and let that chick run away?"
"Hey, but I haven't slept all night, I'm so sleepy, I drank too much last night... No, do we really need so many people? A bunch of big men, guarding a female student with this 18th Middle School, this legend Going out is a joke."
"What a joke, what a joke, I didn't listen to the big brother, last time she beat a dozen people alone, don't take that guy as a girl, maybe it's a tigress, let me think about it, what's the name of that tigress? Come on, Jiao, what Jiao?"
In the alley near the school gate, several men with colorful arms tattooed on their bodies were talking not far or near, the smoke entwined with each other, and the electricity pole they were leaning against was smoked out and fluttering. Fairy-like mystery.
At this moment, a prompt came from somewhere:
"Xu Jiao?"
One of them patted his thigh: "Hey! That's right! That's the name."
After he finished speaking, he thought about it carefully, no, the person who spoke just now seemed to be a female voice, where did they come from
Several people looked back at the same time.
The entrance is a neatly dressed female student with a schoolbag and school uniform on her back.
Judging from the experience they have met, this student seems to have been bullied a lot in school, and even his face has a faint cowardice, and he is the best type to be threatened.
The man who hadn't guessed Xu Jiao before took two steps forward, smoking a cigarette, and smiling so much that the lines on his brows and eyes were crowded together, as if he was worried about scaring people away, he was vague. asked:
"Are you a student of No. 18 Middle School?"
"What, do you know Xu Jiao?"
"Exactly, my brothers have a favor and need your help—"
Before he could finish his words, Shen Yelan had already guessed the whole story from their previous chat. It should be the scene where he accidentally broke into the group-frame scene. The girl who left across from him held a grudge against Xu Jiao. She and Xu Jiao didn't give up after bringing people here, so more men were called this time.
So despicable.
she thought blankly.
But that's okay. She just woke up from a sweet dream and was in a bad mood. While helping Xu Jiao solve these troubles, she can also calm her heart a little bit.
Next, several of the society looked at the female students in front of them, suddenly putting down the schoolbags they were carrying, and even took off the thin school uniform jackets, exposing their white arms.
next second.
The cowardly looking man smiled lightly at them, and said, "Just right, I also have a favor that I need the help of my brothers."
Social shakers: "???"
Someone took a strange answer: "Hey? You even asked for it. Tell me, what do you want your brother to do?"
Shen Yelan's pitch-black eyes looked over, and her tone did not fluctuate:
"Please wait for the beatings, brothers, remember that the person who beats you is called Shen Yelan."
"If you want to move Xu Jiao, you must pass Shen Yelan first."
…
After ten minutes.
Shen Yelan walked out of the alley, raised her hand to support the wall next to her, and shook her head slightly.
Still too much.
She thought, if Holly was here, she would have walked out unscathed, right
It's not like she was forced to suffer.
Not to mention, it hurts to call the bricks.
Shen Yelan felt a little dizzy, closed her eyes, and rested in place for a while. Suddenly, she heard a long-sounding call in front of her:
"Yo, Shen Yelan, you are here, just in time—"
It was Lu Pei's voice.
Almost forgot, this man got out of his uncle's car and really had to walk this distance to school.
But she was impatient to deal with this guy now.
Shen Yelan opened her eyes a little irritably, and only looked at it with one glance, and even the rest of Lu Pei's words were swallowed in her throat. Then, the person in front of her suddenly widened her eyes in surprise and pointed to the back of her:
"What, what is this? Blood? My God, Shen Yelan, you are finished, did you kill someone?"
Shen Yelan's tone was irritable: "If you don't want to die, get out."
Lu Pei kept retreating, tripped over the slightly higher steps of the sidewalk, and fell to the ground, but even so, she did not dare to stay any longer, and stumbled towards the school, looking back, as if there was someone behind her. Ghosts are chasing her.
Shen Yelan had a terrible headache. Seeing that the annoying guy was gone, she simply squatted down and prepared to go to school after a while.
She closed her eyes again.
I don't know how long after that.
Another gentle, soft voice appeared in front of him:
"What's wrong with you?"
The moment she heard this voice, Shen Yelan froze for a moment, and instinctively thought in her heart: It's impossible, Xu Jiao obviously didn't go to school this way, how could he be here
and…
If she remembered correctly, Xu Jiao hadn't spoken to her for a long time.
She opened her eyes nervously and dazedly, and saw the girl in Monday's dress facing the light in front of her, her hair turning dark brown in the golden sunlight, as if it would glow, still beautiful.
Shen Yelan murmured, "Xu Jiao... sister?"
Before she could ask why the other party was here, the man stretched out his hand to her, smiled and said, "Get up, why are you squatting here?"
Hearing these caring words, Shen Yelan suddenly felt a little wronged.
Maybe her head hurts too much, maybe she has been left out for too long, and at this moment, she wants to ask aloud:
why are you ignoring me
Her eyes were inexplicably red, and she stretched out her hand with a little trembling, trying to grasp the warmth handed by the other party again—
Then…
She caught it.
The person in front of him suddenly disappeared, leaving only the sunlight on the ground, exuding the heat of the past.
Shen Yelan dazedly maintained the gesture of raising his hand to hold it.
After a long time, she said incredulously, "Xu... Sister Jiao?"
No answer.
Only the headache got worse.
Shen Yelan's heart seemed to be suddenly opened by someone, and the air leaked, and the sense of loss became more and more obvious.
She murmured, "A hallucination?"
Shen Yelan closed her eyes, took deep breaths, trying to dispel the strange feeling, and then... She heard the voice again, it seemed to be wearing a warm mask, but it was actually very calm, no one could guess the true thoughts of the other party.
"Shen Yelan," the voice was a little closer to her this time, ringing in her ears like a prank.
Shen Yelan knew that this was fake, but she couldn't help but open her eyes to look. Seeing the man squatting beside her with great interest, she raised her hand and rolled her hair, and asked her with a smile:
"Do you like me?"
…
1 classroom.
The person who was reciting the words suddenly heard a mechanical sound in his mind:
"Detected that the heroine produces a blackening value, the current value... 10."
The person holding the book suddenly tightened and pinched the pages of the book. Xu Jiao looked up at the classroom and found that she did not see Shen Yelan's figure.
She released her hand, stared at the new crease on the page, and asked in her heart, "What? Blackening value? Did something happen to her again?"
Why did it suddenly turn black
