Is there anyone who happens to be showing off in the area you are good at?

I was transported into the body of a strange girl, and on the table was a high school math paper with a score of 65.

When I thought about how I got into Tsinghua University with the highest score in the city, I suddenly laughed out loud.

The handsome top student looked down at me and said, “I don’t like you, why do you have to keep chasing me?”

I laughed out of anger and looked him up and down. “You are the top student in the grade?”

“What?” He frowned.

I casually smoothed my hair over my temples and said, “You can’t do better than me.”

When I realized that I was reborn and traveled through time, I looked at my hands, which were long and white. I picked up the small mirror on the table and saw a pretty face.

She is prettier than before, but there are faint dark circles under her eyes, which show the result of long-term lack of sleep.

I lowered my head and saw that my leg was still in a cast.

The desk was neatly piled with review materials, as well as densely written notebooks and test papers that had been revised several times.

The scores above are all pretty ugly.

At this moment, everyone is doing homework. I looked around and saw few people talking to each other. I wanted to ask my deskmate what year he was born, but he interrupted me impatiently: “Are you annoying?”

It seems that the original owner of this body was not well-received.

I gave up the conversation and started looking at the test papers piled on my desk. The 2020-2021 school year…was two years after my college entrance examination, and my first year as a ghost.

The original owner wrote a whole page of draft paper but still couldn’t solve the second to last question. I took a look and found that all her calculations were in vain.

I sighed, picked up my pen and started to calculate.

It only took fifteen minutes to finish the remaining two big questions. At this time, several students were already quietly discussing the answer to the last big question.

As I listened, I changed my previous answers.

I finally heard someone behind me say negative one, so I turned around and said, “Yes, the answer is negative one, you use…”

The two men looked at me as if I were a fool, and then started discussing among themselves.

I have a lot of questions.

At this time, the teacher came in from the door. He was a bald middle-aged man with a pair of glasses on his nose. He asked very skillfully, “Who finished? Today’s questions are quite difficult.”

There were a few hands raised, so I raised my hand as well, but there was laughter.

The teacher looked at me in surprise, “Sun Shuyi, did you hear what I asked?”

I nodded, and the teacher shook his head and said, “Don’t joke with me. Hurry up and correct the basic question from yesterday for me.”

So I searched for a long time to find the basic question. When I looked up, the teacher was already discussing the questions with the students who had finished their test papers.

The basic question paper was filled with red crosses.

It was raining heavily during evening study. I didn’t know how to get home or where my home was when someone called my name outside the door.

“Hurry up, Shuyi, it might snow even harder later.”

I looked over and saw a plain-looking girl. The school uniform looked a bit bulky on her, and she was wearing a pair of glasses on her flat nose, which was not very pretty.

I ran over with my plastered leg and greeted her enthusiastically, because that was how I was before I died. I got along well with everyone and everyone in the class called me Big Brother.

It turns out that the original owner still has friends, I am deeply relieved.

I immediately put my arm around her shoulders.

She asked in shock, “What happened to you today?”

I smiled and said, “I’m happy to see my friends picking me up from school~”

I glanced at her name tag. Her name was Zou Wen.

At this moment, a figure suddenly passed by me from the side in my peripheral vision, and his shoulder passed in front of my eyes. I saw a very tall and handsome boy walking forward with a schoolbag on his back.

His dark brown hair looked very clean and fluffy under the light, and the slightly yellow light made the outline of his nose look even more straight.

As expected, he is a high school boy, with such a beautiful boyish look.

But when the boy was walking down the stairs, he glanced at me very clearly, with a pair of clear peach blossom eyes with thick eyelashes, but as if he was warning me, his eyes were as cold as ice.

“So it’s because of Xiao Ling…” The girl whose neck I was holding murmured to herself, “How dare you think of someone like him.”

“What’s wrong with him?” I was curious.

“I advise you to give up. How could he possibly like people like us? Yesterday, the runner-up in our class confessed to him, and she’s so pretty. Song Xiaoxue, you should know about this, right?”

I didn’t care about anything else and asked, “How would the second-best student in our school rank in the province?”

Seeing my relaxed reaction, she was stunned again, “I don’t know… I don’t care about this. Anyway, I should be able to get into Tsinghua University, but it’s not certain. After all, no one from us has been admitted to Tsinghua University in the past two years.”

emmmmm I thought this school is not that good, and it is true.

“But Xiao Ling is definitely a sure thing. He is the school’s favorite. If he hadn’t failed in the competition, he would have been admitted.”

I was just thinking about Xiao Ling when I was bumped into hard by someone.

I fell to the ground, cursing, “Who am I relying on? Can’t you see I’m still limping?!”

“I’m sorry, I’m in a hurry. I’m Zhou Yanfei from Class 33 of Senior High School. I’ll pay you if you want!”

I looked up and saw that the man was not wearing a school uniform. He was wearing a black sweatshirt, which made his fair skin look even brighter. He also had a shining silver cross around his neck.

It seems very expensive. Judging from his limited edition sneakers and his nonchalant attitude, I can conclude that he is a rich second-generation.

He just said this, picked me up from the ground and pushed me onto my friend, then ran away without a trace with his long legs.

“You’re sick!” I cursed after I stood firm.

“Shuyi…did you take the wrong medicine today?” The friend seemed to be still in shock. “You usually don’t dare to talk to boys…”

It turns out that Sun Shuyi is a cute social phobic!

But I have been a social leader since I was young.

I just borrowed a body with the same frequency to find out how I died.

But I never expected that when I borrowed Sun Shuyi’s body, she swallowed an overdose of sleeping pills in the toilet that day.

Her soul had already left her body when I possessed her, and I, a ghost who had roamed free but never crossed the Naihe Bridge, was locked in this body.

Finally, I arrived at Sun Shuyi’s house. The house was empty. There was a midnight snack on the table. There was a note saying, “Shuyi, Mom is going to work the night shift. You should have a good rest after eating.”

I took a bite of the noodles, it was so delicious!

After becoming a ghost, I have never eaten delicious food again.

At this time, the phone screen lights up.

It’s filled with insults.

I was actually pulled into a group, and everyone in it was scolding me.

What an idiot, thinking x is good.

There are more obscene words.

I got angry and wanted to fight back.

But suddenly I felt that there was no need to waste my happy life on earth, which I didn’t know how long it would last.

So I turned off the phone and went back to my room.

I know very little about Sun Shuyi’s life.

The bookshelf in the room is filled with many novels, including classics, romance novels, and a diary.

Who still writes a diary these days!

I still opened it.

As I expected, it was filled with information about Xiao Ling.

A girl’s secret love is humble and sad.

“But he never looks at me. Maybe God is just out of reach.”

“I decided to give him a gift too! Will he still remember me?”

“He didn’t even look at it, he just threw it to someone else… but he smiled at Song Xiaoxue. To me, he only had disgust.”

“Everyone hates me…”

I nearly had a myocardial infarction from watching it.

When I was a student, I never seemed to encounter any bad things.

I don’t have a secret crush, but I’m very popular, and the boys I rejected turned out to be good buddies.

What always makes me sad is that the cafeteria lady’s hands are shaking, causing me to lose two pieces of braised pork.

I opened my phone again and there were already 999+ messages.

Still cursing, he really enjoys it.

“You’re not even worthy of carrying Song Xiaoxue’s shoes!”

“Others are applying to Tsinghua University, what about you? Toad!”

I opened the news feed and found that the original owner had posted a message two days ago saying “Will you be satisfied if I die?”

Below are all overwhelming “Yes! Why do you just talk and not do anything? Hurry up! I’m waiting to see!”

A bunch of scum.

I decided not to give these people a good look.

They don’t deserve it.

The next day at school, without the constraints of evening self-study, my deskmate said sarcastically, “Aren’t you going to die? Die? Why are you coming back? Someone with such a fragile heart is not suitable for this place.”

At this time, the class representative distributed morning math exercises, and my deskmate tore up his test paper because he was playing with the person behind him.

Then he actually came to take mine.

I held down his hand holding the test paper and gave him a glare, “What are you doing?”

He seemed to be frightened by me and froze for two seconds. Maybe it was because I was used to being bullied by him before and never resisted.

“What are you doing…? You can’t do it anyway, just give me yours.”

“Who said I can’t do it?”

The classmate was stunned for a moment, then he sneered loudly, turned around and said to the girl who had just played with him, “Wu Qing, she said she can do it, hahahaha!”

The short-haired girl glanced at me and said, “Haha, then I will.”

She must be a good student, because she was the one who calculated negative one yesterday.

I sneered in my heart, propped my chin up and started to do the questions.

At this time, the person next to him was still saying, “Then our Shuyi should do well and try to get one question right. Just pretend.”

The math exercise was so simple that I finished it in ten minutes.

I flipped through the textbooks casually. Just like before, I could memorize these books with my eyes closed.

At this time, my deskmate suddenly took away my test paper

“Teacher, Sun Shuyi said she can do it, can you help her check it out?”

The boy who was as thin as a monkey handed the test paper to the teacher diligently, and when he walked back to his seat, he smiled at me in a disgusting way.

“Brother, do I have a grudge against you?”

I smiled at him and asked in a good-tempered manner.

“No, I just don’t like you and think you’re disgusting, that’s all!”

He glared, raised his eyebrows, and was a greasy mess.

So I left my seat and walked to the teacher.

The teacher stared at my test paper and then at me.

After repeating this several times, he sighed and said, “Sun Shuyi, it is not advisable to use shortcuts to find the answers. You know it now, but will you know it in the exam? If I find out again next time, I will call your mother.”

I looked at the bright red tick on the paper.

How ironic.

I took the test paper and my deskmate started to mock me again. I took a deep breath and thought to myself that I should not argue with a kid.

Who knew he would continue to say, “It’s a screw-up, how funny, I told you to give it to me, what a waste of paper, what a waste, hahahaha.”

I didn’t care that one of his legs hadn’t recovered yet, and I kicked him and the chair to the ground.

The chair made a harsh rubbing sound on the ground.

Everyone was looking here, their faces filled with shock.

“Sun Shuyi, you’re looking for death!” He was so angry that he wanted to beat me, but he was tripped by a chair and couldn’t stand up.

I picked up the math workbook on his desk and started tearing it up one by one.

“It’s you who’s been annoying me.” I put my foot on the chair leg. “Look at what rubbish you wrote. For a topic like this, I can get more answers right than you even with my eyes closed. You’re the one who…”

I leaned closer and smiled kindly, “Trash, garbage.”

Then she threw an exercise book in his face.

The classroom was unnaturally quiet. Finally, the teacher reacted, grabbed me back, and almost shouted at the top of his voice.

“Sun Shuyi! You are so outrageous! Come with me to the Dean’s office and reflect on your actions!”

I followed the teacher, but all I could think about was the frightened look on that person’s face.

I couldn’t help but laugh.

I didn’t hear the teacher’s mumbling, but when I was very close to the dean’s office, I heard a deep male voice cursing.

I saw a tall, thin figure standing there casually. The dean of studies was standing in front of him, cursing angrily.

“Zhou Yanfei! Your dad didn’t pay for you to study here just to let you waste your time! Look at you now, you’re so lazy, you don’t even wear your school uniform! You’re late, you leave early, you stay up all night in the internet cafe, what do you want to do?! Tell me what do you want to do!?”

When I went in, the dean just glared at me and continued to scold him.

But that person looked down and saw me, and said in surprise, “Eh? It’s you? The one with the lame leg last night?”

When he smiled, one of his fangs was exposed, he was extremely sunny and youthful.

Seeing that he still didn’t care, the dean’s face turned red with anger, and he even scolded my teacher, “What’s wrong with this girl! These two are really like two flies bumping into each other!”

“She beat Fu Lei during morning self-study… I think…”

At this time, the boy next to me laughed out loud, bent down and tapped my plaster, “Okay, little cripple, you’re so cruel. Thank you for not beating me yesterday.”

I glared at him, but the dean asked anxiously, “Is Xiaolei okay?”

“It’s okay… just a little scratch…”

He breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately looked at me fiercely and said, “Tell me, why did you hit someone?!”

Zhou Yanfei came over with a smile and said, “You are in trouble. This is his son.”

The dean’s expression became awkward.

“Call your parents!”

“Then why don’t you call my dad over too, so we can talk together?”

The dean began to clear his throat, and it was obvious that his father was not to be trifled with.

Later we both ended up writing a self-criticism together.

“Teacher, can you please not write it?” The boy next to him was still playing tricks, and the dean yelled, “Get out!”

When I was leaving the office, I saw a graceful girl standing at the door, as if waiting for someone.

She has fair skin, beautiful looks and a pair of lively eyes.

Zhou Yanfei saw her and ignored her.

The girl ran over anxiously and grabbed the corner of his clothes, “Are you angry?”

The girl bit her lip and acted coquettishly to him.

He put his hands in his pockets and looked at her with interest. “What are you angry about? Why should I be angry?”

“I confessed to Xiao Ling just to piss you off… You know I’ve always liked you.”

The girl’s face was red and her eyes were filled with tears.

So I left tactfully, as I had no interest in idol dramas.

But I heard an impatient voice behind me:

“Song Xiaoxue, stop pestering me. I’m not interested in you.”

When I heard this name, I shuddered.

Is she Song Xiaoxue?

She was the second in the grade, and the group owner of the group I was added to.

“Hey, what’s your name?”

When Zhou Yanfei caught up with me, I was thinking about how to get back to my original home and find the place where the accident happened that day.

All I remember is that there were fires everywhere. But I couldn’t remember where.

“You are amazing. You are the only one who can remain calm in front of the dean, besides me.”

“Not as good as you.” I don’t like troublemakers like him.

“Why are you talking so coldly?”

“Because I find you annoying.”

He suddenly grabbed my collar, and I took two steps back. A car whizzed past.

Only then did I come to my senses and said thank you.

“That’s all I can say to thank you for saving my life. Please be sincere and help me write my self-review.”

He handed me a piece of paper and a pen and said, “Please, I’m going to play basketball.”

I smiled and threw them back to him. “You need someone else to write your self-review, are you crazy?” Then I went upstairs without looking back.

In the stairwell, I met Xiao Ling.

He leaned there quietly, with the sun shining on his face, looking extremely handsome. If Zhou Yanfei was the cool and handsome type that all little girls liked, then Xiao Ling could only say… he looked so clean and innocent that even I, a sister, was attracted to him.

However, he seemed to be really as cold as his diary said.

And that warning look last night made me feel uncomfortable all over.

“Sun Shuyi.”

When I passed by him, he actually called me, and unexpectedly, he had a very attractive male voice.

I swallowed and turned away.

“Why did you put thumbtacks in Song Xiaoxue’s shoes?”

He had a cold expression and looked down at me.

I was stunned, but he continued speaking coldly.

“I don’t like you, so don’t do anything to hurt others.”

I was so angry that I laughed. There is no normal person here.

I took a step closer.

I looked him up and down and asked, “Excuse me, are you the top student in the grade?”

“What?” He frowned.

“Next time, I’ll be number one in my grade.”

I looked him in the eyes and said seriously.

Xiao Ling actually curled his lips and said, “Sun Shuyi, what are you doing?”

I smiled at him and said, “Didn’t you understand?”

I remembered what the original owner wrote in his diary, how good he was, a flower of the highest mountain, a rare talent.

But he looked at me like this, as if I was something that would stain his mud if I touched him.

“Are you trying to get my attention by provoking me? Do you understand that I don’t like you? Do I have to like you if you confess to me?”

He stepped back, “Besides, top of the class? Do you believe that?”

He sneered, as if he thought what I said was a joke.

“Don’t think that it’s a big deal that we knew each other when we were kids. I don’t want to have anything to do with you now. And I’m already with Song Xiaoxue.”

“Oh, really? Then I wish you and Song Xiaoxue a happy marriage… I just want to tell you that it’s okay to reject a girl, but there’s no need to make malicious assumptions about her.”

His face was cold, and his black eyes turned away. “Someone saw you do it.”

“Is that you?” I fixed my hair. “Rumors can kill people.”

“Besides, you can’t beat me in the test.”

He didn’t seem to want to chat with me, but his tone was very disdainful. “Okay, then I’ll wait for you, the thousandth in the school, to surpass me. But I hope you won’t bother Song Xiaoxue again. It makes me feel sick.”

I was about to speak when a basketball hit me. I reflexively reached out and slapped it away to Xiao Ling.

It hurt like hell. I covered my hand and looked down the stairs. Zhou Yanfei was looking at us with his chin raised. His eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, which was completely different from his good temper just now.

The silver cross around his neck gleamed brightly.

He walked up step by step, stared at Xiao Ling and said, “Xiao Xueba, isn’t it too rude of you to say that to a girl?”

They are of similar height, both over 1.80 meters tall, and both are good-looking. I almost bumped into them.

“Zhou Yanfei, stay out of other people’s business.”

“What do you mean by private business? Her business is my business.”

His voice is deep and his eyes are determined. If I were a high school girl, I would immediately fall in love with this unparalleled hero in front of me.

As he said this, he was about to pat my shoulder, but I turned sideways, dodged his hand, and slipped away.

“While you guys are chatting, I’m going to class~~!”

Shit! The original owner was ranked 1,000th in the whole school. I have never seen such a ranking since I was a child.

When I returned to the classroom, everyone’s eyes seemed to be on me.

When I passed by Fu Lei, he looked at me with squinted eyes and lay on the table pretending to do his homework.

I pulled out a stool and sat down, and he said nothing.

The monthly exam is tomorrow. Although I am very confident, I still don’t know Xiao Ling’s results.

It was just posted in the window that he seemed to have ranked 20th in the city, but definitely not in the top five.

Then what am I afraid of?

After school, Zou Wen came to wait for me again.

She quietly asked, “Did you put the thumbtack in Song Xiaoxue’s shoe?”

“I don’t even know when she took off her shoes.”

I opened my phone and said, “She has been causing trouble for me. She has been scolding me in the group for three days.”

I was looking through Zou Wen’s chat history when a bony hand snatched my phone away.

I looked up and saw Zhou Yanfei frowning and staring at me with displeasure.

“what?”

“You’re asking me?”

“Otherwise, is there anyone else who can just snatch my phone?”

His breathing became rapid, and he seemed to laugh out of anger at first, then he threw a series of punches into the air, and finally pressed me against the pillar.

Those phoenix eyes were full of murderous intent:

“I stood up for you and you ran away. Am I not ashamed?!”

I took out a handful of candy from my pocket and said, “How about I treat you to some candy?”

He looked at the candy in my hand and was obviously gnashing his teeth.

Still, he quickly grabbed a handful and said viciously, “Don’t let me see you being bullied again next time!”

Then he started running away just like he did the last time he bumped into me.

He ran two steps and then came back, returned my phone to me and stuffed a box of medicine in my hand.

I looked at the abrasion ointment in my hand and thought of his face that was so close to me just now. As an elder sister, I actually felt a little shy.

Zou Wen, however, kept asking me, “How do you know… Zhou Yanfei?”

I saw that she looked strange and her face was pale, but she was still trying to smile.

Something is wrong.

I still said, “We were both scolded by the dean today, and he helped me teach that bastard a lesson.”

“Oh! So that’s it…” Zou Wen frowned and said, “Shuyi, don’t associate with people like them anymore. We are not worthy of them and will only be played by them.”

I saw that her knuckles were turning slightly white as she held the strap of her schoolbag.

When I got home, there was still prepared midnight snack and my mother was nowhere to be seen.

It’s funny that I haven’t seen my family since I came here.

When I was a ghost, I always wanted to quickly find someone who could possess me so that I could find out the truth.

But now, I am possessed, but I can’t remember where my home is or how I died.

However, it seems that as long as the mind exists, it can be easily transferred regardless of the body.

These are questions that I have always been good at, and I can also easily solve them in Sun Shuyi’s body.

When the monthly exam was over, I could probably judge that I had definitely won this time.

The subject Sun Shuyi chose was exactly the same one I had chosen before.

It’s like a fish in water.

There were no questions that I didn’t know how to answer, except for the Chinese reading comprehension and composition, which I was not very sure about. I finished the other questions in advance and waited for the bell to ring.

When I passed by Xiao Ling’s classroom, I took a special look inside and heard him and the teacher discussing a math problem.

Xiao Ling said with some regret, “I just didn’t think of that one point.”

“Don’t worry, no one in our school can solve this problem, so don’t worry too much. It’s already pretty good, well done!”

I was in a good mood and bought an extra-large cup of milk tea on the way home.

But unexpectedly, when the ranking came, Xiao Ling was still ranked first, and I couldn’t find my name in any of the documents.

I also looked up Zhou Yanfei’s name, number two hundred and twenty-four.

At this time, the head teacher called me to the office.

I had already expected it.

The head teacher took a sip of tea and spat out the tea foam.

The little eyes looked at me through the thick lenses.

“Tell me, why did you cheat?”

I took a deep breath and said calmly, “Teacher, I didn’t cheat.”

“Heh…” The man in front of me stood up and approached.

“You jumped from 1,000th place in the school to 1st place. Haha… How can I believe that you didn’t cheat?”

“Teacher, you can go ask the invigilator at the time whether he caught me cheating.” I stared into his eyes and said firmly, “I don’t admit it.”

“What’s the point of not admitting it? Even if the invigilator didn’t see it, so what? Could it be that you stole the test paper somehow?”

I was so angry that I laughed, “Where would I steal it? I’m either at school or home all day long.”

“I don’t know about that.”

“You don’t know. Why are you forcing it on me?”

The head teacher was irritated by me, his face turned stern, and he put the teacup heavily on the table, and some tea spilled out.

“It’s impossible for someone who can’t even answer basic questions to get full marks all of a sudden!”

“Teacher, you have to provide evidence when you speak. I didn’t do it. I just got first place in the exam. You can take any math test paper and give me a perfect score.”

My nails dug into my flesh.

“Ridiculous, you’re ordering the teacher around?!”

He pulled out his cell phone and started making calls.

When my mother came, I saw this woman for the first time. She was thin and small, and should be forty years old, but she looked like fifty.

He was nodding and bowing and saying sorry to the teacher.

“Shuyi, admit your mistake and apologize to the teacher!”

My eyes suddenly turned red.

What else can I say in this situation?

This was the first time I suffered such an injustice, and I didn’t say a word for a long time.

I still said, “Teacher, I was wrong. I won’t dare to do it again.”

On the way home, I sat on the back seat of Sun Shuyi’s mother’s electric car and asked her, “Mom, do you also think I cheated?”

She just said, “You have to study hard so that you won’t have to suffer like us in the future.”

I looked at her supermarket work clothes with several holes on the back and said softly:

“Mom, don’t worry, I will definitely get into a good school.”

Even if it’s not for myself.

For the sake of Sun Shuyi who has left, I will not let them bully me like this.

When I arrived at school the next day, everything was as expected.

When I put down my schoolbag, the short-haired girl in the back seat muttered “Cheating dog…”

It seems that this is not enough to prove myself.

Everyone would think so when someone who has always been at the bottom suddenly becomes the first.

So I took out my Chinese textbook and prepared to recite the ancient poems again.

My Chinese language is my weak point, and I have no interest in classical Chinese and ancient poetry.

“Shuyi is going to start studying hard, right?”

“I heard that she challenged Xiao Ling before? I wonder if her face hurts?”

“I’m trying to get the attention of my male god, what do you know?”

I ignored them. After all, if you want to break the stereotype of a person, words alone are useless.

After memorizing the ancient poems, I took out the answer sheet of the test paper. I got half of the last physics question wrong. It turned out that after two years in the laboratory, I still regressed.

I decided to go to the Internet cafe tonight to do some tests.

I used to do this often when I was in high school. The computer screens in Internet cafes were large and comfortable to watch, and I could listen to music and play a few games when I got tired. The night passed quickly.

I went to the one that looked the most formal. Although the original owner’s family conditions were average, she had a lot of pocket money that was unexpectedly large. It seemed that her mother still doted on her very much.

I asked the boss for the whole night and went to the machine in the corner.

I logged onto the website and downloaded all the science and math papers from the past two years. Then I put on my headphones, played some music, and started doing calculations with a pen.

I don’t know how long it took, but I finished three sets of papers and was about to play two games.

The headphones were taken off, and I looked up and met a pair of deep amber eyes.

“Zhou Yanfei?” I blinked.

“Sun Shuyi, is this what you do in the Internet cafe?”

I wrote down the last step and said calmly, “I can’t help it. I lost to Xiao Ling. I have to make up for it.”

He walked around me, leaned over, and began to look at my question. He then picked up my notes and looked at them. “Yes, it is correct.”

His voice is right next to my ear.

I was just wondering how he could understand this when he ranked over 200, when someone behind me suddenly said, “Is this your first time doing this test paper?”

I turned around and saw a boy wearing glasses and a T-shirt with anime characters printed on it.

I nodded.

He took my notebook and looked at it for a long time, then called me “Big Brother!”

Such a friendly name…

“Teach me physics!” he said, pulling out his student ID. “I’m Xu Jie from the rocket class at No. 1 Middle School!”

The rocket class of No. 1 Middle School…wouldn’t it be that any one of them would be admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University?

But I looked at his pious eyes and agreed.

So in a corner of the Internet cafe, three high school students who were originally preparing to play games began their learning journey.

The discussion was intense and the writing was rapid.

I haven’t had such a great time studying for a long time.

Until Zhou Yanfei pried my and Xu Jie’s hands off the notebooks, turned off the computer screen and said, “Let’s have a midnight snack.”

I realized that I was almost starving.

When the skewers entered my mouth, I felt like I was in heaven.

How long have you not eaten?

Xu Jie was still immersed in what he had just seen, and said with a satisfied look on his face, “Brother, I benefited a lot from meeting you today. Can you come often in the future? I’ll treat you to a night.”

He is indeed a genius, but not normal.

I shook my head. “I want to play games…”

At this time, Zhou Yanfei put his arm around my neck and said, “This is my elder brother, don’t make a blind decision.”

Xu Jie was anxious, and I quickly said, “I am everyone’s eldest brother!”

We still didn’t stay up all night, so Xu Jie asked the family driver to pick me up, and Zhou Yanfei walked me home.

On the way home, I looked at the boy’s clear jawline under the streetlight and asked, “Why did you pretend not to be serious and deliberately fail the test?”

He lowered his eyes and looked at me. After a long silence, he said, “I don’t want to make my dad happy.”

He looked up and said, “His biggest wish is that I can go to Tsinghua University, because he can brag about it for the rest of his life, the son of a nouveau riche, who was admitted to Tsinghua University. I don’t want him to get his wish.”

I sarcastically said, “Although you are smart, you are still far from Tsinghua University.”

“Little cripple, you underestimate me.”

The plaster on my leg had clearly been removed a long time ago!

“Really? Your monthly test results make me doubt the truthfulness of what you said.”

It was quiet for a long time. I thought I had hurt him. I looked up and found him staring at me. “Why didn’t I notice you before, Sun Shuyi?”

His eyes were burning, a look I was familiar with, filled with love that was just budding but growing wildly.

The club activities every Friday were still carried out as usual, and every student was forced to sign up for at least one item. I found that Sun Shuyi actually signed up for the debate club.

When I went to the club, I knew why. Xiao Ling was sitting in a corner by the window, reading a book. He was the first to arrive. His slender fingers gently turned the pages of the book, very gentle and elegant.

When I walked in, he raised his eyes and ignored me.

At this time, Song Xiaoxue walked into the classroom surrounded by a group of people and sat next to him.

Xiao Ling smiled and touched her head.

So gentle, like a ray of light.

But that was light directed only at Song Xiaoxue.

Song Xiaoxue looked at me, supporting her chin provocatively.

I looked at her innocent face and suddenly felt a chill.

People sat down around me one after another, and the teacher arrived on time. She had a ponytail and delicate makeup. When she saw us sitting on both sides, she spread her hands helplessly.

“Is it always like this? Isn’t it a bit boring? The difference in strength is too big. How about you go over there, Xiaoxue?”

Before Song Xiaoxue could speak, a shaved-head guy behind me said, “No, this way we can get a chance to practice. Maybe we can win someday!”

There was a burst of booing and laughter from the key class opposite, and a trace of embarrassment instantly appeared on the boy’s face.

I turned to him and asked, “Classmate, how is your debate?”

He rubbed his head and said, “I learned a little bit in class.”

At this time, the teacher asked, “Who is willing to fight?”

Xiao Ling and Song Xiaoxue raised their hands at the same time, as well as two boys from the key class.

“What a strong team! Students on the opposing side, you should be more active. Comparing with students who have participated in debate competitions will be very beneficial to your development.”

We pushed and shoved each other, and three boys went up, but we were still missing one.

The teacher was still trying to motivate us, “This is the topic that Tsinghua University’s debate team won the championship in the International College Debate Competition. I also want to see how you perform.” Then he said impatiently, “It doesn’t matter if you lose. The most important thing is to participate!”

At this time, I saw that the debate topic on the PPT was exactly the topic of the debate competition I once participated in when representing the school.

I still remember the thunderous applause that day. My teammates and I won a beautiful victory.

They shouted my name and laughed wildly. We took a photo together in the center of the stage.

It was so good back then, I thought those youthful years would last a long time. But now I have even forgotten their faces.

I stood up without hesitation and walked over to the three boys.

The people below were whispering, “Who is she?”

“It seems to be from Class 10…”

“How are your grades?”

“It should be pretty rubbish. Never mind. I’m going to get beaten again today…”

Xiao Ling and I looked at each other. He frowned, as if he also felt that I was overestimating my abilities.

I no longer show the expression of a weak person, and no longer smile in a flattering way like Sun Shuyi.

I just looked at him expressionlessly.

It’s like judging the weight of the prey before killing it, and whether to use teeth or a knife.

The debate lasted for a long time, and in the first ten minutes, everyone felt that this was a duel without suspense.

After we briefly introduced ourselves, the three boys next to us all said, “It’s over, it’s over, why did I come up here…”

I glanced over the materials they had, and then said, “Don’t worry, just look at mine and make your own decisions based on what I wrote.”

So later on, I hardly gave Xiao Ling any room to breathe and kept pressing him step by step.

He finally began to show flaws more frequently.

I watched as cold sweat broke out on his forehead and his hands trembled as he wrote, and I watched as my debater silenced the other team.

Song Xiaoxue hardly spoke a word and was as quiet as a quail the entire time.

I studied debate for three years in high school and two years in college, and I can now present my arguments eloquently and with solid evidence.

You can also borrow some literary allusions to make yourself appear knowledgeable.

When I gave my final closing remarks, the whole audience fell silent.

Cheers and applause followed, and everyone could see which side won.

We had never won before, and the members of the ordinary class who were looked down upon by the key class over there stood up excitedly, clapping their hands until they turned red.

My classmate with a buzz cut next to me looked at me with admiration and said, “Student Sun, you are awesome! I won today because of you!”

I patted his shoulder and said, “You are great too. You are not afraid of danger. That’s how you should be confident.”

The teacher walked up to me and said, “Student Sun Shuyi, you are amazing! I didn’t expect you to be so quiet before!”

“Thank you, teacher.”

“Your style just now is very similar to that of the best debater from Tsinghua University. You are very calm but your words are sharp. Very impressive.”

I was stunned and asked hurriedly, “Teacher, do you still remember her name?”

“Remember, her name is Lin Min, a very unfortunate girl.”

I tried to control my facial expression and asked, “Why is it a pity?”

“She died, apparently in an explosion.”

At this time, the bell for the end of get out of class rang. I turned around and found Zhou Yanfei lying on the windowsill. He was wearing a school uniform for the first time and looked much more obedient.

Just as I was about to go over, someone stopped me.

“Sun Shuyi.”

Xiao Ling looked a little pale, and stood there quietly, his eyes tired. “Why do you have to pursue me so relentlessly?”

So I stared at him and said, “Chase? You are a defeated general, you have no right to say that.”

“Sun Shuyi, do you think you are awesome?”

Song Xiaoxue stood in front of Xiao Ling. Her beautiful eyes looked me up and down. “I don’t know who it is. Is the parent called in for cheating in the monthly exam?”

I smiled and said, “Xiao Ling, do you think I cheated? I was sitting in the first seat, right under the eyes of the invigilator, and the test paper was only issued by the school the day before.”

I said coldly, “It’s just a false accusation. Are you really not afraid? If I remember correctly, my total score is 20 points higher than yours, right?”

He frowned, as if he was really annoyed by me.

“Sun Shuyi, you got your grades by cheating, why should I be afraid?”

I stared into his slightly red eyes and saw his nervousness:

“You are indeed scared, but I tell you, don’t worry, I will trample you under my feet in every exam from now on.”

I said word by word, “You have reached the end of your number one position. I will not give you even the slightest chance.”

He was speechless for a moment, but Song Xiaoxue sneered:

“Sun Shuyi, you’re like a clown right now. You’ve been the last in the class since your freshman year of high school, and you dare to say that?”

She sneered disdainfully, but the smile quickly froze on her face, and her eyes stayed behind me.

“What did you talk to my brother about?”

Putting his long arm on my shoulder, the boy leaned over to look at Song Xiaoxue.

“Also, Mr. Song, since you’re with Xiao Daxueba, why don’t you keep sending me messages?”

Song Xiaoxue’s face turned pale and she was anxious to explain to Xiao Ling, but Xiao Ling took her hand and left the classroom.

“You like him like this?” Zhou Yanfei put his hands in his trouser pockets. “My taste is just average.”

I stared at their backs as they left. “Yeah. It’s really average.”

“Or, like me.”

The boy’s eyes were shining, as if he was waiting for my reaction.

At this time, a few boys walked by the door playing basketball. When they saw Zhou Yanfei, they said, “Brother Fei, hurry up. We are going to beat up those guys in the key class today.”

They passed a window before seeing me. The group was stunned. The leader carefully poked his head in and said, “Brother Fei…did I delay your confession?”

Zhou Yanfei gave the man a look and he shut up and walked away lightly step by step.

I felt a little bit at a loss, as if I was a very slow person when it came to this kind of thing.

“You’re not wearing the school uniform just to express your feelings, are you?”

“Don’t you like clean and well-behaved students?” He pulled the zipper of his school uniform.

I looked at his serious expression and couldn’t help laughing. He pinched my face and said, “Don’t laugh. Tell me, do you agree or not?”

I shook my head. “Zhou Yanfei, I don’t have that idea. All I want now is…”

Before he could finish his words, the dean’s voice was urgent, “What are those two students doing in the empty classroom over there!”

Zhou Yanfei took my hand and ran. I watched the silver cross jumping behind him. He looked back at me from time to time. I couldn’t help but wonder if he would be a passer-by in my life. If so, he would be too dazzling.

“Students, the next midterm exam is a joint exam for four cities. Our city attaches great importance to this exam. This exam can fully reflect your potential. Everyone must go all out and create excellent results together. The sword is sharp…”

I stood in the huge playground, feeling drowsy after listening to the motivational speeches that had become so common.

“Next, let our student representative Xiao Ling speak.”

There was thunderous applause, and all the girls started to get excited, “Xiao Ling is so handsome…”

“If he could give me extra lessons, I would definitely go straight to Tsinghua University!”

“How can someone be so perfect!”

I looked at Xiao Ling, who was wearing a formal school uniform. He stood in the sun, a corner of his white shirt blown up by the wind, and his clear eyes looked firmly ahead.

When he finished speaking, Song Xiaoxue, who was standing behind him, stepped forward and presented him with the President’s Scholarship for last semester.

There they stood, looking incredibly beautiful.

But youth is not just theirs. All living beings, as small as the dust, are also brilliant in such a passionate youth.

And I, fortunately, have a second youth.

That day, I searched for Lin Min on the Internet, and it was indeed the same appearance as I remembered.

Slit eyes, delicate fair skin, and black hair cut to the shoulders.

He died in a residential explosion on a summer night two years ago.

The fire in my memory was explained. But clearly, in the fire in my memory, I heard someone laughing wildly.

But every time I try to see it clearly, I get a splitting headache.

So at night, I didn’t go home with Zou Wen, but went to the Internet cafe again.

This time I was playing games.

Xu Jie from the rocket class said he had prepared my favorite strawberry daifuku for me and was waiting for me.

When I got there, I found out that I was playing with the Rocket Class in a one-on-one game. The loser had to do a prepared science question on the spot. If he couldn’t answer it, he had to call all the team members’ dads.

When I stepped into the Internet cafe, it was empty. Xu Jie had booked the place.

I walked to the deepest part and saw several boys of different heights and weights waiting for me.

“This is my eldest brother, Sun Shuyi from No. 8 Middle School! My god of physics! Welcome everyone!”

When those guys saw me, they wanted to shake hands with me one by one, but Xu Jie stopped them and said, “My eldest brother is a girl after all, please be careful about the impact.”

This high school otaku is still… a bit silly haha…

They introduced themselves one by one. Several of their names sounded familiar and seemed to be ranked very high in the city. Xu Jie was already ranked fifth in the city at the end of last semester, and it seemed that there were people among them who were ranked higher than him.

But unfortunately, he was punished for five consecutive times and kneeled down thirteen times in a row.

When the test paper was finished, except for a little fat boy who misread a question and called his dad, everyone else did well.

I took out the strawberry daifuku and took a bite, and the cream exploded in my mouth.

“Sun Shuyi!”

While I was still enjoying the delicious food, two hands lifted me up from the chair and the Strawberry Daifuku Tart in my hand fell to the ground with a thud.

I looked up and saw Zhou Yanfei with a furious look on his face.

“What’s wrong?”

“I’ve been waiting for you at the school gate until now, and you’re playing a game with a bunch of guys?”

Oh, yes…I just took the bus.

I agreed yesterday to go with him to buy the latest game disc.

So I said goodbye to my friends in the Internet cafe, and when I walked out of the door, I saw Xiao Ling coming out of a cram school. He was walking in a hurry, as if he went there right after school.

He was holding a piece of bread in his hand and eating it anxiously. It was the first time I saw him look a little embarrassed.

He is a handsome young man who is invincible in school. Everyone says that he is simply smart.

It turns out that I was working hard secretly…

Zhou Yanfei was still very angry and just kept walking ahead.

I was thinking about the explosion again.

I don’t remember if I have any family or friends, I don’t remember anything, and the longer time goes by, the more my original memories will disappear.

I walked slowly with my head down, and suddenly I bumped into Zhou Yanfei’s hard chest.

He frowned and said to me fiercely, “Sun Shuyi, can you please stop thinking about other things when you are with me?”

“Yeah.” I was still daydreaming.

“Sun Shuyi, you can be really annoying sometimes.”

I wondered, “Why?”

He took a deep breath, suddenly grabbed my shoulders, and said seriously, “Don’t tell me you forgot, I said I like you, can you be my girlfriend?”

I stared into his eyes for a while and then burst out laughing, “Brother, stop joking.”

“Who is your brother? I am older than you.”

“What do you like about me? I don’t look that good, and my personality isn’t great either. They all say I’m a cheater.” I suddenly asked seriously, “What’s wrong with you that you like me?”

I looked at his excited face. When I first came here, I heard that he was a ruthless person, but now he even looks a little cute.

I tore open the milk bag and took a sip. “I don’t want to fall in love. I have more important things to do.”

It’s the first math class after the holiday. There’s still a week left before the midterm exam and everyone has already started reviewing.

“Does anyone want to talk about this problem?” The math teacher pointed to the example problem projected on the whiteboard. “This is the final question, a classic one. I made a variation that made it more difficult. I’ll give you ten minutes to look at the problem. Please come up and share your experience later.”

I took a look at the question, which was a combination of sets and sequences.

It is cumbersome to do it the traditional way, but there is an easy way.

So when the ten minutes were up, I raised my hand.

The teacher pretended not to notice it at first, but since no one else raised their hand, a “kind-hearted person” reminded him that “Sun Shuyi raised her hand.”

The math teacher had to ask me to go to the blackboard, or said, “Let’s give some applause to encourage Sun Shuyi’s courage.”

I patted it sparsely.

“Hehe, she really doesn’t know what to do up there. She thought she was going up there to paint?” Fu Lei muttered to the person behind him.

The short-haired girl is called Wu Qing. She kept calculating and said, “She has been acting strange lately. She used to be quiet and listless all day, but now she wants to fight for everything.”

“Only the math teacher is willing to watch her fooling around, hehe…”

I picked up the chalk and started writing the steps, explaining them as I went along.

“Step 1. Given that 2 plus 4 = 6…l(p) equals 5…” The first question is very simple and can be done in seconds.

“The first question is quite basic, so I won’t say much. Let’s look at the second question…”

It was noisy down there at first, but suddenly it became quiet.

Fu Lei said in disbelief, “Wu Qing, look… she seems to be right…”

“How do you know?” The girl looked up at the blackboard.

“I’ve seen part of this question. This question is a variation, and it seems to be correct! Damn it!” Fu Lei looked at me in disbelief.

“Tsk, then she must have seen it online too.”

“Well…it’s possible, but there’s really no such question on the Internet. This teacher adapted it. I’ve seen that question on the Internet, but I can’t do it…She seems to have really become smarter…”

“That’s it? You think too highly of her, don’t you?” Although the girl said this, she put down her pen and began to carefully look at my writing steps, but she still said, “Isn’t she just a lonely, pretentious, and self-defeating student who likes handsome Xiao?”

“Really? It’s really not because you also have a crush on Xiao Ling? In fact, I think she looks pretty now. Look at her, so confident…”

“Get lost! A man who was kicked down by her actually likes me now. Are you a masochist?” But just after she said that, she suddenly exclaimed, and like all the people who were watching me write the steps, she suddenly understood.

“So that’s how it is, directly…why didn’t I think of that!” Wu Qing gritted his teeth and hammered his head, “How stupid.”

When I finished, the math teacher looked at me for a long time, then gave me a thumbs up in a very old-fashioned way, “It seems that Sun Shuyi really put in a lot of effort. It’s completely correct. Only Xiao Ling in the key class can solve the problem.”

I returned to my seat, and Fu Lei suddenly came over to ask me a small question with a humble and polite attitude.

I looked at his face and it was hard to imagine that he had ever been so bad to me.

I gave him the calculation steps and did my own thing.

The intensity of the past few days has been very high. No. 8 Middle School has put in a lot of effort and wants the level of our students to catch up with No. 1 Middle School as much as possible.

I know that this exam will be my turning point. The person who set the questions for this exam is known to be ruthless, so I dare not say that I am 100% confident.

Since being rejected by me, Zhou Yanfei started to send me gifts frequently, such as strawberry daifuku, milk, and candy, all in very beautifully packaged items.

I started to get annoyed and went to him and asked, “Can you agree to anything I say?”

He nodded.

So I took a deep breath and said, “Then I want you to be in the top ten in your grade this time.”

He was stunned.

I continued, “You said before that you were doing this to piss off your dad, but I don’t agree with you. You live for yourself, not for anyone else. So if you really like me, let me see if you can do this.”

I said as I stuffed the gifts he gave me today into his arms, “Don’t give me any more, or I’ll get diabetes.”

He seemed amused by me and reached out to touch my hair. I took a step back and said, “I’m going to study.”

His hand paused in mid-air for a long time before he withdrew it.

The group that scolded me has gradually become quiet, perhaps because everyone finds it boring, or perhaps because the upcoming joint entrance examination of four cities is indeed unsettling.

Even Xu Jie and his group lost the freedom to go out because of too much homework and parental control.

The moment the test papers were handed out, I felt a sense of relief. The head teacher was invigilating and there were cameras, so this time, no one could frame me.

When I wrote down the words, letters, characters, numbers and formulas one by one, I seemed to be back in the summer two years ago. At that time, I was also a senior high school student, and I was also struggling to reach my dream place.

When the last bell rang, I walked out of the classroom and saw Zhou Yanfei leaning against the wall. He said, “Sun Shuyi, wait to be my girlfriend.”

In a trance, I seemed to have become the real Sun Shuyi.

But I am Lin Min.

No one will know anymore.

There was a groaning in the air when checking the answers, and I calculated the possible points deducted. Well, if Xiao Ling hadn’t suddenly opened up his Ren and Du meridians or been possessed by someone stronger than me, I would have won for sure.

I dropped my pen and stretched.

At this time, the head teacher suddenly came in, patted my shoulder and said, “Your mother is here to take you home. She said your grandmother passed away.”

I sat on the back seat of my mother’s electric car, and we were both silent.

Mom finally said, “It got worse before, but I didn’t tell you because I was afraid it would affect your studies.”

I said “hmm” softly. In fact, I didn’t feel anything at all. To me, Sun Shuyi’s grandmother was just an old person whom I had never met.

“My father is here today, as well as his current wife.”

When I arrived at the table, I found that a table full of people had already arrived, and from their clothes it was not difficult to tell that my mother was the one at the lowest level.

Most of the other women were dressed up, but she barely had time to change out of her supermarket work clothes.

I also saw several people wearing the uniform of No. 1 Middle School. I looked down at my own uniform of No. 8 Middle School and it was really different.

Someone came out to greet us warmly.

“Meizhen, I haven’t seen you for a long time. Is this Shuyi? You are getting more and more beautiful!”

Sitting at a table, I saw the “dad”, wearing a big gold chain, and next to him was a fashionably dressed woman who looked a dozen years younger than my mother.

He ignored my mother and me and just kept drinking and chatting.

I drank a sip of Special Forces brand coconut milk. Several students from No. 1 Middle School were still doing their homework, so I sat at the table and listened to them talking about how hard their children were working in No. 1 Middle School.

“I guess Shuyi doesn’t know that life in No. 1 Middle School is extremely tough. We have to get up at 5:30 every day and the teachers are very strict with us. But fortunately, the learning environment is good and everyone is smart and efficient.”

An aunt with curly hair was talking excitedly.

“Yes, yes, that’s right. Our Luo Xin always says that he can’t wake up, but in the last monthly exam, he exceeded the first-tier line by 50 points.”

“We didn’t perform well last time and scored 20 points over the limit, but the four-city joint exam seems to say the questions are more difficult this time?”

“Yes, yes, it’s extremely difficult. Several people said they were going to fail the test.”

“But those students in the key class of No. 1 Middle School are really smart. I wonder which family is so lucky to give birth to such smart children!”

As they talked, they looked at the students who were doing their homework with loving eyes, and asked me, “Shuyi, doesn’t your school assign homework?”

I shook my head. “I finished it at school.”

“Oh! That’s really a small amount of homework. It turns out that Eighth Middle School is a little easier than First Middle School!”

I ate the duck calmly, and my mother didn’t say a word during the whole process.

At this time, the uncle who had been playing with his phone asked “Dad”

“Which school will your Sun Shuyi apply to in the future?”

He glanced at me and immediately sneered, “She is stupid, she can’t learn it, she can’t even get into a second-tier university.”

The woman leaning against the “father” said, “Our son is in the sixth grade now. He got three 90s on the test and ranked tenth in the class.”

I looked at the little boy who was eating meat crazily beside her. He should be my younger brother. When I came just now, I was almost knocked down by him.

The uncle who asked the question smiled awkwardly, but I could see the pride in his eyes. He said, “Our Xiaoxiao is preparing to take the entrance exam to Soochow University. Last time, she almost reached the passing score.”

Soochow University is a good school. I seem to remember that one of my good friends in high school went there.

So I said, “Soochow University is pretty good. If my score is not up to par…”

“Why are you butting in on a conversation?!”

The man raised his voice and said, “Don’t you even look at how many points you got in the last exam? How dare you talk about Soochow University here?”

I was about to sneer back, but my mother stopped me and said, “Okay, okay, let’s not talk about it anymore.”

“I don’t know how you educate your children all day long!” The man drank a glass of wine and cursed, “Your grades are so bad…”

I sneered, stood up and said, “How did you educate her? My mother goes out to work every day to support me. How did you educate her? You usually don’t show up, and now you come out to talk?”

The whole table was silent for a moment, and everyone started to smooth things over, “Okay, okay, your father has a new family now, and you should be sensible. It’s not easy for your father either.”

I didn’t want to make too much of a scene at Grandma Sun Shuyi’s funeral, so I just sat down. I felt so aggrieved, so upset.

I drank another glass of coconut milk. Today is the 20th, and the results should be out soon.

I stared at my mother’s phone, nothing happened.

At this time, the girl who had been doing her homework took the test paper to her mother. She seemed to be a math teacher in No. 1 Middle School. She glanced at the test paper and her face turned pale. “Why can’t you answer this last question?”

The girl’s face turned red immediately. At this time, the aunt next to her tried to smooth things over, “Oh, you are too demanding. Everyone knows that your family’s scores in the last monthly exam were almost the same as those of the key classes.”

The female teacher’s expression softened a bit. “It’s about the same as the last one in the key class. Girls don’t think as fast as boys.”

Then suddenly she glanced at her phone and said, “Oh, the ranking of No. 1 Middle School for this exam is out, as well as the ranking of the entire city and the four cities. It seems that it can be checked on the WeChat applet!”

When several parents heard this, they immediately stopped eating and drinking and started checking their children’s grades on their phones.

“It seems that the first place in the four-city joint exam is from our city!”

“Is this true? The last time was in S City! I don’t know which key class it is!”

“Oh my! Our four cities are ranked 501st this time!” The curly-haired lady clapped her hands excitedly, “We have hope of getting into a 985 university! Thank God!”

The female teacher’s face darkened. “Why is it only 614?” She couldn’t get angry because of her face, so she just cursed in a low voice, “Your cell phone can’t be used anymore. Go home and do an extra test today!”

My mother went to the bathroom and didn’t hear the news, so I took out my cell phone and prepared to check.

As expected, they noticed that I was quite quiet at this time. “How did Shuyi do in the exam this time?”

“I haven’t finished typing this.” I didn’t look up.

“It’s useless if you lose, so don’t come out and embarrass yourself!”

That “dad” started talking again, probably because he was afraid that I would embarrass him.

I ignored him and continued to lose.

As luck would have it, the phone froze at this moment because Sun Shuyi’s phone had too many messy things stored in it.

At this time, other parents were comparing their children’s grades with each other, saying things like “someone did not do well in the English test,” “math was too difficult” and “they did not perform well,” and then they were comforting and praising each other.

“Xiaoxiao, can you also share your study methods?”

The girl ranked 495th this time, which was the best among the students of No. 1 Middle School. She said while eating pork ribs, “There’s nothing I can do about being stupid. No. 1 Middle School is better than No. 8 Middle School.”

The woman next to “Dad” couldn’t sit still anymore and asked my “brother” to check my grades on his cell phone.

“It’s something we’ll have to face sooner or later anyway, so let’s see.”

“That’s right. There’s still a year left. Let’s see where we are weaker and learn from the kids in No. 1 Middle School.”

My younger brother was playing King of Glory on his mobile phone and was very reluctant to let me report his admission ticket number.

I finished the registration and he clicked to confirm. “Sun Shuyi, ranked first among the four cities. OK! I will continue playing.”

The discussion suddenly quieted down.

“Don’t talk nonsense, check it carefully!”

The woman snatched his phone away.

He said reluctantly, “It’s the first place!”

The woman stared at the phone screen for a long time “…Sun Shuyi, T City No. 8 Middle School…”

“Dad” originally looked like he didn’t want to look at it, but when he heard her say that, he snatched the phone away and his eyes almost stuck to her.

“Full marks in math and English…ranked first…?”

“What do you mean first? Do you know who is first? Is it Xu Jie from the key class in No. 1 Middle School? That kid is very smart!”

“My daughter, Sun Shuyi, ranked first!”

“Dad” said this to his daughter for the first time, holding up his phone to show them.

Everyone was stunned, with an expression of disbelief. The phone was passed to me and I looked at the conspicuous

Ranking: 1.

I was in a calm mood and even stuffed a piece of pork ribs into my mouth.

The table, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly began to exclaim

“That’s amazing. So the students in the key classes failed the exam this time?

“What do you mean by failed the test? It’s because Shuyi is so good… She only lost a few points…”

They started looking at me again, as if they still couldn’t believe that this person who often failed the exams and was the only one who didn’t get into No. 1 Middle School could have become the top student in the four cities. “Could it be a mistake…” “I think it’s possible.”

At this time, my mother came back from the bathroom and everyone’s eyes were on her. She looked at everyone with a little curiosity.

“My daughter got first place in the city! No, first place in four cities!”

“Dad” he shouted to her excitedly, dancing with excitement.

I saw my mother was stunned for a moment, then she came over anxiously. I handed her the phone, she took it and stared at the screen for a long time “Sun… Shuyi, ranking…”

She looked up at me, as if wondering whether the person standing in front of her and Sun Shuyi on the screen were the same person.

One tear, two tears fell and were quickly wiped away.

She jumped up excitedly and almost hugged me in her arms.

In the few times I spent time with her, she always did things quietly and silently, and had never been so happy.

“Mom, I told you I never cheated.”

“Yeah, mom believes… mom believes…”

The atmosphere at the dinner table became awkward. Someone said sourly, “Old Sun, you are so unkind. Your daughter is so outstanding, but you have been hiding her talent. With these grades, she will definitely get into Tsinghua University!”

“That’s right, Meizhen, you too, always telling us that Shuyi has poor grades. Is that true?” Someone was obviously speaking in a retort.

I put down my chopsticks and said, “Someone is so jealous that he’s almost dying of anger, but he’s still pretending. Is that fake?”

“Who are you talking about? You’re so rude! Even if you have good grades, it’s all in vain!”

I smiled and said, “Whoever is in a hurry should be criticized.”

“Forget it! What are you doing?” Luo Xin’s mother began to smile.

“Xinxin, you have to learn from Shuyi!”

The girl replied, “This is not a score that a human can get…”

The excitement of the discussion had obviously died down. The curly-haired aunt who had been smug just now began to eat with her head down, occasionally saying that the food tasted really good.

The math teacher from No. 1 Middle School kept sending messages with a frown on her face. I vaguely saw that the person on the other end of her chat sent a photo of my student card. The corners of her mouth twitched, and the look she gave her daughter became even colder.

“Dad” smiled from ear to ear and immediately gave me a red envelope of 5,000 yuan. “Shuyi, this is a reward red envelope, buy something you like!”

I saw that he quickly posted a circle of friends, which contained a screenshot of my grade ranking, with the caption “My daughter ranked first in the joint entrance examination of four cities!”

I stood up and took my schoolbag, without giving him face, and said directly

“No, I don’t need your money. Give it to mom. I have to go back to school for evening study.”

“Also, no one can suddenly appear and tell me who he is to me. My only relative is my mother.”

When I walked out the door, the evening breeze brushed my face, the setting sun lengthened my shadow, and I made a “yeah” gesture to the ground.

I curled the corners of my mouth.

Right now, at this moment, I allow myself to be happy.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ling called me at the school gate.

He was in an ancient street not far from the school, wearing a blue and white school uniform, looking at me quietly.

The corners of his eyes and eyebrows were tinged with the yellowish light of the street lamp, making his outline appear even gentler.

“Sun Shuyi.”

He seemed to have just had his hair trimmed, and looked clean and fresh.

“Ah, hello, Xiao.” I responded with a smile.

“Are you free after school? I want to talk to you.”

I shook my head and said, “I don’t want to talk to you.”

“Song Xiaoxue and I broke up.” He looked at me, and it was the first time his deep eyes looked at me like this. To be honest, it was a bit corny.

“Oh, and then? What do you want to talk to me about?” I looked at my watch and there were still ten minutes left.

“Are you unhappy?”

He looked at me with his eyes lowered. His eyelashes were longer than those of girls, casting a small shadow under his eyes.

“I was pursuing you pretty closely before, wasn’t I?” I said with a smile. The original owner must have really liked Xiao Ling, which led to him being overconfident now.

“Don’t worry, I’ve given up on you. I’m not interested in someone who loses to me.”

When I walked into the classroom, everyone was very excited. Fu Lei actually took the lead and shouted, “Sun Shuyi! The God of No. 8 Middle School!!!”

Everyone was very happy. Many of the students who came to No. 8 Middle School had failed in the high school entrance examination. They were often bullied by the students from No. 1 Middle School. Now that the first place went to No. 8 Middle School, they naturally felt relieved.

The head teacher’s mouth was full of excitement. He stood on the podium and said excitedly, “Our No. 8 Middle School can also produce a golden phoenix! I apologize to Sun Shuyi here! The teacher wronged you before. I will ask the principal to restore your monthly exam score!”

It’s a very earthy word, but it sounds strangely pleasing to the ear.

“Students should learn from Sun Shuyi, who rose from being ranked 1,000th in the school to first in the four-city joint entrance exam! He is truly a legend!”

At this time, the short-haired girl behind me poked me and handed me a lollipop. “Sun Shuyi, I really misunderstood you before. I’m really sorry. Can I ask you questions in the future?”

“You said I was a dog bootlicker, you too!” Fu Lei turned around and sneered, but was slapped on the head by her.

“The principal has selected Sun Shuyi to give a speech at the flag-raising ceremony next week. Everyone must give a warm response. She is from our class ten!”

For the flag-raising ceremony, I wore a formal school uniform and a special name tag issued by the school.

Standing on the high podium, overlooking the more than 4,000 students in the school below.

I held the microphone in my hand and remained silent for a while.

“Classmates, I’m Sun Shuyi from Class 30 of Senior High School. Maybe some of you have heard of me, but maybe not.”

…

When I was Lin Min, I gave many speeches, as the student union president, as a contestant, and as a student representative.

But for Sun Shuyi, this is his first time in this body.

I couldn’t control my pounding heart.

Amidst thunderous applause, I accepted the award from the principal.

He bowed deeply to them.

Because of this exam, I seemed to have become the focus. There was even a teacher in No. 1 Middle School who wanted me to give a speech at their school, talking about how I went from last to first.

I don’t have any secret. The secret is that I am not Sun Shuyi at all.

But there is something more worrying me.

There will be physical examination in the afternoon.

I haven’t exercised since I entered this body, but luckily I passed the 800-meter race without any major problems.

When I was running 50 meters, I saw Zhou Yanfei waving at me right at the finishing point.

He did make it into the top ten in the grade this time, so I have been avoiding him.

However, when the starting gun sounded and I rushed out, a bottle full of water flew out from somewhere and hit me directly on the forehead.

My eyes went dark, and when I regained consciousness, I found myself floating in the air, looking at Sun Shuyi’s body.

I was hit by a water bottle?!

At this time, everyone ran over. The physical education teacher touched Sun Shuyi’s neck and shouted anxiously, “Hurry up and bring my phone to call 120! There is no pulse!”

Everyone’s face turned pale.

I watched Zhou Yanfei run over, sweat dripping from his forehead. “Teacher, I’ve learned first aid. I’ll do it!”

He began to press Sun Shuyi’s heart, repeating it dozens of times, then he pinched Sun Shuyi’s nose and blew air into her mouth.

I tried to enter that body again, but was always bounced back by Zhou Yanfei’s hand.

“Can you please move aside? I want to go in!”

No one heard it.

“Teacher, when will the ambulance arrive!?”

“On the way!!”

I looked at Sun Shuyi’s pale face, but I also did not forget to see how a water bottle came flying over. Everyone was gathered here and no one paid attention, but I saw a familiar figure leaving in a hurry.

There was no time to think. Once the soul left the body for three minutes, the body would be abandoned. I could only try my best to squeeze in.

I was exhausted when I got into Sun Shuyi’s body.

So even though his pulse had recovered, he still couldn’t open his eyes.

Until I felt a gust of wind and I covered my mouth reflexively.

I opened my eyes and saw Zhou Yanfei’s watery eyes.

His eyes widened at first, then he breathed a sigh of relief, sweat dripping from his chin.

“Are you okay?” I heard the whistle of an ambulance.

I looked at the boy’s face against the light. He anxiously picked me up, and his heart was beating violently.

CPR is really tiring and my ribs hurt a lot now.

But what if I fail to enter her body this time?

Then I will have nothing to do with Sun Shuyi at all.

In the ambulance, I lay straight and asked Zhou Yanfei, “Did you kiss me just now?”

“That’s CPR, idiot.” He looked away, but I saw his Adam’s apple roll noticeably.

Originally the school insisted that I rest at home for a few days, but I decided to come first.

I heard that Xu Jie has been preparing for a math competition recently.

Key high schools generally have quotas, but No. 8 Middle School is an ordinary high school, so I can only take the college entrance examination to go to Tsinghua again.

I seem to have gradually come to terms with the fact that if I can’t leave this body, then I’ll just live well with it.

I want to walk the same path again.

But the surprise came quickly. My head teacher said that because of my outstanding performance in the midterm exam, the leaders specially gave two places to No. 8 Middle School and decided to let Xiao Ling and I go.

I had studied competitions before and ranked first in the province, but I gave up because I had an appendectomy operation.

This is a good opportunity.

But even so, there are basically no teachers in ordinary high schools who know how to participate in competitions, so even Xiao Ling failed in his second year of high school.

However, I have met some very good teachers, so basically my knowledge framework for competition is still there.

But the teacher insisted on enrolling us in a training class.

It is said that students from many key middle schools take classes together.

When a bunch of smart people get together, nothing good is going to happen.

I opened the door and saw that most of the people there were boys.

I found a corner and sat down. Many of them were sophomores in high school, and most of them came in groups.

In my experience, most of them are quite arrogant, even those who appear to be kind.

Being able to come here is already an outstanding achievement.

But when the training teacher showed up, my string snapped.

I know him, I definitely know him.

He was wearing a pair of rimless glasses and a white shirt. He looked young and gentle.

It seems to have existed in my mind for a long time.

“I am Jiang Jibai.”

A sentence suddenly flashed through my mind

“The opposing side argued once and Jiang was clear.”

He was my former classmate?

Maybe my eyes were too passionate, or maybe I was distracted by those words.

Jiang Jibai reminded coldly, “Student sitting in the corner, please take out your materials. If you are distracted here, you might as well go home.”

The bigger blow came from the next quiz, because I hadn’t come across competition questions for almost three years.

Among this group of students who had been training intensively for at least a year, I failed miserably and ranked third from the bottom.

I clearly heard the man with glasses sitting next to me snort.

“You’ve never been involved in a competition, have you?”

“Um?”

“This requires talent. You may do well in the college entrance exam, but if you don’t have talent for math competitions, you’ll only get second place at best.”

“To be honest, you ordinary high school students are wasting your time coming here.” He poked his glasses on the bridge of his nose. “I remember that last year, No. 8 Middle School ranked first in the school…”

“You probably haven’t seen Xu Jie from our No. 1 Middle School, right? He is a genius, he is my YYDs!”

I nodded in response, but my eyes were looking at Jiang Jibai.

He is recording his grades.

When the get out of class was over, I stayed behind and asked him, “Teacher, are you from Tsinghua University?”

He glanced at me calmly, his narrow eyes naturally giving off a sense of oppression, and said “Yes.”

But I always feel that in my memory, I have seen him laugh many times.

“Teacher, do you know Lin Min?”

He stopped writing and looked up at me. “Do you know Lin Min?”

I nodded.

He closed the notebook and said, “I don’t want to talk about her. Instead of spending time on this, I’d better improve my grades.”

“Did you and she both participate in a debate competition? Did you win the championship?”

He seemed to think of the scene that day and was stunned.

“Yes.” He lowered his eyes. “It’s a pity that there will never be another one.”

“She died, didn’t she? I want to know how she…”

I was interrupted before I could finish.

“Mr. Sun, you must have done a lot of research on me.”

He looked at me calmly and said, “I don’t know why you are interested in Lin Min. I can only say that I have no comment.”

I am actually a fugitive ghost from the underworld, but after I found a host, they couldn’t find me. Every man has his own place, and a host is all that matters.

However, every time when I didn’t get enough rest and felt dazed, I still felt like I was about to escape from Sun Shuyi’s body.

When I got home, I saw a birthday cake.

For the first time ever, Mom didn’t work the night shift.

She was busy in the kitchen, and when she saw me come back, she said, “Come and have dinner. I heard from Teacher Liu that you are going to participate in the competition. Will you be able to go to Tsinghua University if you participate?”

I smiled and said, “It’s not that easy! You have to win a prize!”

When I sat down, my mother gave me a bowl of longevity noodles.

“Happy birthday, my daughter. I never dreamed that I would give birth to such a smart daughter… I wish my daughter a long life. Come eat!”

Live long and prosper…

I took a bite and saw wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. I couldn’t imagine what she would do if I hadn’t entered this body and if Sun Shuyi had died during evening study that day.

“Mom… I feel a little dizzy…”

She came over and touched my forehead. “Ah, why is it so hot? I’ll get you some medicine.”

I turned around and saw that she had hung some talismans at home.

“What’s this?”

“Oh, I saw this on the street today. A lot of people were buying it, saying it can ward off evil spirits and help students have good luck in exams, so I bought it…”

I felt very dizzy, but I didn’t want her to notice anything unusual, so I said I was too tired and went back to my bedroom to sleep.

Who knew that at this moment, I saw Sun Shuyi’s spirit standing in front of the bed. I could see these things when I was very weak.

She didn’t pass away either!

“Who are you? Why are you using my body?”

She rushed over with tears in her eyes, and with a bang, I was knocked out.

I started to become a wandering soul again.

Only Sun Shuyi can see me.

But she is very afraid of me.

The moment she returned to her body she rushed out, telling her mother incoherently that she was possessed by a ghost.

“It was September 5th, how come it’s already November?! Mom…what should I do…”

“You have a fever, take some medicine to reduce the fever!”

Mother Sun was frightened, but fortunately Sun Shuyi had just returned to his body and was still very weak, so he drank some medicine and fell asleep.

The next morning, I sat at the head of the bed and greeted her.

She was startled by me and immediately said with tears in her eyes, “I have never done anything bad, please don’t possess me again…”

“Didn’t you die? Why are you back?” I asked her, supporting my chin.

“I can’t let go of my mother…”

It’s really hindsight.

“So you escaped?”

She bit her lip and nodded.

Just as I was about to get closer, she took out a talisman and blasted me five meters away.

It almost vanished into thin air.

“Don’t come over here!”

How ungrateful! If it weren’t for me, her body would have been cremated long ago.

“Don’t come near me, I have to go to school!”

She put on her schoolbag and I followed her.

When he got to the class, Fu Lei started a new round of flattery, “My big brother is here! Big brother, please help me with the math exercises from last night!”

Shit, this guy is taking advantage again.

Sun Shuyi was frightened by him, and trembling with fear, not daring to look him in the eye, so he handed over the schoolbag.

“You…find it yourself…”

Fu Lei was obviously stunned. “What’s up, brother? Are you going for a retro style today?”

Sun Shuyi thought he was mocking her again and rushed out.

But I accidentally bumped into someone.

Xiao Ling.

I clearly saw her face turn red, as if she was shy and ashamed.

She lowered her head and was about to leave when her wrist was grabbed.

“Sun Shuyi, why are you hiding from me?”

The boy’s eyes were somewhat melancholy. Sun Shuyi was so stunned by those eyes that he stammered:

“I…I didn’t…I was just afraid that you didn’t want to see me…”

“Who on earth rejected me so harshly two days ago?”

I feel so disappointed with him, but I dare not get close to him.

She had already carried the talisman close to her, so I had no chance at all.

“I… I had some family problems before, so what I said at that time doesn’t count!” Sun Shuyi raised his head and glanced at Xiao Ling, “You said… you confessed to me before?”

Xiao Ling seemed a little confused, but he still admitted, “I told you that Song Xiaoxue and I broke up, and asked you if you were happy. If you said you were happy, I would confess my feelings.”

I saw that Sun Shuyi was almost at a loss with excitement, and when she was about to say “I do” immediately, the class bell rang.

“See you at the cram school.” Xiao Ling smiled at her. I could feel that Sun Shuyi’s heart rate almost exceeded 180.

But she was still standing there stupidly.

I floated in front of her.

She took two steps back. “What are you doing?”

“Don’t worry, I can’t get close to you, but I’m reminding you that it’s not you he likes, it’s your aura.”

“Impossible, I don’t have any aura…”

“So do you think Xiao Ling suddenly lost his mind and started to like you?” I looked at her, the body that had been with me for two months, and said, “Or aren’t you curious? Why does Fu Lei call you big brother, and everyone is so flattering to you?”

“What did you do?” She stepped back slightly. “Are you trying to say that Xiao Ling likes you, not me?”

“Sister, I don’t like him at all.” I looked at her innocent face and said, “I just did what you should do most, study hard and don’t let anyone bully you.”

“I know you want my body to find out who killed you…” Sun Shuyi suddenly said, “But this is my body, you can’t just use it like this!”

But I couldn’t find another suitable body.

If I delay any longer, I may never know what happened.

I can only follow her all the time and look for the right opportunity.

“Brother, this question…” Fu Lei came to ask me the final question as usual.

“I’m sorry I don’t know…don’t ask me.”

Sun Shuyi barely raised his head in the classroom all day. Not only did he stammer and stammer when answering math questions, he couldn’t even recite a single formula.

I didn’t say anything, just did mental arithmetic on the projected problem. I couldn’t even touch a pen.

When the get out of class was over, I heard Fu Lei and Wu Qing say, “Why do I feel like Sun Shuyi has returned to his old self?”

“Maybe his soul has returned to its place.” Wu Qing spun his pen, “Or maybe he’s schizophrenic.”

“Better be careful, I don’t know when she’ll come back and beat me up…”

In the math test during the evening self-study class, Sun Shuyi got the last place without any suspense. I stared at her test paper in a daze, and the teacher called her over and asked, “Shuyi, is there anything going on at home recently?”

She shook her head and said nothing.

“You got first place in the joint exam of four cities. I believe you have the ability.”

Sun Shuyi looked at the teacher in shock. “Me? First in the four-city joint exam?”

“Yes, look, this is the photo of you giving a speech in front of the whole school that day. The school even printed it in the brochure of No. 8 Middle School.”

I leaned on the teacher’s shoulder and looked at Sun Shuyi’s shocked face.

“Oh, why does my neck feel cold?” The teacher stood up and put on his clothes. “Shuyi, if you have something to say, you must tell me. You are the biggest living signboard of No. 8 Middle School. The college entrance examination is counting on you to beat the group of geniuses in No. 1 Middle School.”

“Okay, teacher…” She was stunned. She probably didn’t expect that I had done so many things for her in just two months.

When Sun Shuyi walked out of the office, she ran into Zhou Yanfei. “Sun Shuyi, are you going to the Internet cafe tonight? Is Xu Jie there too?”

He even handed me a box of strawberry milk, “I brought it for you. It’s delicious.”

Sun Shuyi was almost speechless. “Thank…thank you…Mr. Zhou.”

“Did you take the wrong medicine? Or… have you fallen in love with me?” Zhou Yanfei was obviously shocked by Sun Shuyi’s shyness, but he did not forget to lower his head to look into her eyes.

When their eyes met, Sun Shuyi’s face was already red.

“I’ve never seen you blush. You look weird today.” Looking at Zhou Yanfei from above, he was still very handsome, with a perfectly proportioned body and an angular face, which was pleasing to the eye.

I took a deep breath of the strawberry milk and it had a rich strawberry flavor.

“I…I have something to do today, so I won’t go to the Internet cafe.” Sun Shuyi lowered his head and stammered.

“Okay. I’m leaving now!”

Zhou Yanfei rubbed her hair, but she didn’t hide.

After evening self-study, Zou Wen, who had not been seen for a long time, came to wait for Sun Shuyi to come home.

But today I felt the low pressure on Zou Wen. When I was a ghost, it was easy to see whether the sky above other people’s heads was dark or clear.

Facing Zou Wen, Sun Shuyi seemed to relax a lot. She said, “Can you believe it, Zou Wen? Xiao Ling confessed his love to me today!”

“I told you that as long as you persist, you might succeed!” Sun Shuyi’s eyes were sparkling and she didn’t notice Zou Wen’s sudden change in expression at all.

“I also heard that Zhou Yanfei likes you, is that right?” Zou Wen suddenly looked up and smiled.

“I don’t know about that, but he did send me strawberry milk today…”

“Oh, so that’s it.” Zou Wen nodded, but I smelled a hint of danger.

When a person’s heart is full of resentment, it is easy for him to be targeted by the broken evil spirits around him, thus leading that person to do terrible things.

“Sun Shuyi, be careful,” I reminded.

Sun Shuyi didn’t answer me, but took out the talisman that he had put inside his clothes, as if to warn me.

When he reached the overpass, Zou Wen suddenly wanted to stop and take in the scenery.

“So beautiful.” Sun Shuyi said as he looked at the brightly lit city.

“Yeah.” Zou Wen walked to the edge of the stairs. “Do you remember we made a mark here?”

“Where?” Sun Shuyi leaned down.

“It’s right here.” Zou Wen said this expressionlessly, then kicked forward, but he didn’t touch Sun Shuyi at all, as she instinctively dodged and missed the kick.

I looked at the girl as she stretched out her hand in confusion with a look of fear in her eyes. Before she could even scream, she rolled down.

I wanted to hold her hand, but my hands were through her body and I couldn’t grab anything.

I followed Sun Shuyi and rolled down, feeling her heartbeat getting weaker and weaker until it stopped.

After the second death, Sun Shuyi’s soul was truly scattered.

I stood at the bottom of the overpass, looking up at Zou Wen who was standing at the top.

Her school uniform was still bulky, but the look behind her glasses was frightening.

If I went in with such a mutilated corpse, even if I had the ability to recover, I would definitely have to endure instant severe pain.

I watched Zou Wen walk down, confirmed with an expressionless face that Sun Shuyi was no longer breathing, and then called 120 while crying.

When a crowd of onlookers gathered, I entered the body.

Intense pain swept over me, my spine broke, and my broken ribs pierced my lungs.

There were fatal injuries everywhere. But I used up all my energy and made Sun Shuyi’s body recover by half before the ambulance arrived.

I even opened my eyes and smiled at her when Zou Wen was about to get on the ambulance.

By the time I arrived at the hospital, I had recovered a lot.

We did X-rays, CT scans and everything else, and the final conclusion was to go home and have a good rest.

My mother rushed over in her cashier uniform, sweating profusely, and almost cried, “Are you feeling unwell?”

The doctor said, “She was really lucky. Her friends told me that she accidentally rolled off the overpass. It’s a miracle that she was not injured.”

My mother specially took a taxi to pick me up today. I looked at the meter and felt a little sad.

“Shuyi, you are my mother’s life…If anything happens to you, I won’t be able to live.”

I turned and looked out the car window.

Do I have a family? Will they miss me after I am gone?

“I told my grandparents that you got first place in the midterm exam and that you participated in a competition that could get you into Tsinghua University. They were so happy that they even sent us some mountain products they grew themselves.”

I looked at the two wrinkled old faces on my mother’s phone and smiled happily.

When I arrived at school the next day, Fu Lei tentatively called me “Brother”.

I put my schoolbag away, propped my chin up and started doing my homework, ignoring him.

Sun Shuyi hasn’t done any homework in the past two days, so I write very fast.

When the Chinese teacher came, I had almost finished all the lessons.

When I was thinking about how to deal with the murderer, she actually came to my door.

She got the food and sat next to me:

“Shuyi, I didn’t mean to scare you. I didn’t touch you at all, and I didn’t expect you to fall.”

Zou Wen explained very seriously, tears welled up in his little eyes, his lips trembled, and he sniffed from time to time.

“Really?” I picked up the dishes casually.

“Really? We’ve been friends for so many years, but before, no one wanted to play with you. Only I played with you. Have you forgotten?”

“That’s right.” I took a sip of soup and looked up at her. “Don’t you feel guilty for saying these things?”

She was stunned and asked at a loss, “What do you mean?”

I pulled a thumbtack out of my pocket that was in a sealed bag.

“Does it look familiar?”

She watched motionlessly.

“This is the thumbtack in Song Xiaoxue’s shoe. I originally thought she did it to frame me, but I found the exact same one in your schoolbag.”

“No… No, it’s impossible.”

“There are thumbtacks like this outside the school gate. That supermarket has cameras, so I think it’s easy to check.”

“Besides, she was indeed injured. The school doctor has her diagnosis record. The wound was quite deep. If she wanted to frame me, isn’t this price too high?”

“This is just your guess…”

“And that day during the physical examination, you were the one who threw the bottle of water. I saw it with my own eyes.”

“No… that’s not it…”

“Do you still want to deny it? That day, someone happened to bring a camera, and the class teacher asked us to take some photos of the physical examination. Unfortunately, you were photographed.”

I smiled and said, “The film is in the homeroom teacher’s camera.”

“I don’t believe it.” She began to tremble all over.

“Believe it or not,” I said, picking up my plate and standing up. “You’re screwed.”

“What makes you say that?!” she suddenly screamed hysterically.

Everyone in the cafeteria looked at her.

“You are so noble now, the best in the four cities, everyone fawns on you, flatters you, and wants to be friends with you… Not only Xiao Ling likes you, but even… Zhou Yanfei likes you… I can’t even say a word to him… What gives you the right?”

“You are obviously the one that everyone hates… Why are you now…”

“Why do you think I played with you? I just wanted to fit in with Song Xiaoxue and the others. I told them every entry in your diary and every word you said. I scolded you with them! Are you still being kept in the dark?!”

“That’s right, I put the thumbtack there and I smashed the water bottle because I hate you! I hate a rubbish girl who is hated by everyone for being like you now! Do you know how disgusting you are when you stand on the stage and give a speech?! I want to kill you!”

“So I deliberately let you fall. I thought you would die, but why are you fine? Even God is helping you…!”

I looked at her distorted face, but my heart was filled with calm.

From the beginning I thought of us as friends, to now.

I have nothing more to say.

All the solid evidence I had actually did not exist. She was guilty and broke down, so she told everything.

I don’t know if this can make up for Sun Shuyi’s soul.

But Zou Wen is still alive, while Sun Shuyi’s soul has been scattered and he has no chance to be reincarnated.

I heard that the final exam ranking for the first semester of senior year is closest to the college entrance examination, so the senior year students once again entered hell mode.

Ever since I stole the limelight from No.1 Middle School in the joint entrance examination of four cities, I have become a “roadblock” and “Cheng Yaojin” in the eyes of the teachers of the key classes of No.1 Middle School.

“Brother, they are always discussing what you look like. I told them that you are as beautiful as a fairy. Is that good enough?”

Xu Jie took a big sip of coffee and showed me the physics problem.

Xu Jie, Zhou Yanfei and I went to the library for the first time.

Because there are too many people in the Internet cafe recently, we moved our location.

Who knew that students in T City were so studious that they almost filled the library.

Because the final was before the final exam, Xu Jie and I were both working on competition questions.

Although Xu Jie is slightly inferior to me in physics, I have no choice but to recognize him as my master in mathematics.

I gave Xu Jie the math competition questions. “I don’t understand the conditions for question 5…”

“Watch me.” Xu Jie took over and gave me a series of operations. “Brother, you are so good at physics, why do you have to stick to math?”

“Because it’s interesting. I like challenging things.” I circled his answer a few times.

Xu Jie nodded and said, “As expected of my elder brother, you are awesome.”

Zhou Yanfei didn’t stop, but said, “He’s awesome, but he doesn’t keep his word.”

He curled his lips slightly and glanced up at me.

I glared at him and continued writing the questions.

I drank too much coffee, so I went to the bathroom more frequently.

While washing my hands, someone behind me suddenly said, “Sun Shuyi?”

I turned around and saw a girl with a ponytail.

“It’s you… I haven’t seen you for three years, and you still have such a smug expression.” She crossed her arms, as if she saw something interesting.

At this time, two more people came out of the restroom. The girl with the ponytail stared at me, but smiled and said, “Come and see our little cutie Sun, what a coincidence. With your grades, how dare you come to the library to study?”

The two girls saw me and laughed exaggeratedly, “Hahaha, your mom begged and pleaded for 30,000 yuan to get you into No. 8 Middle School. I heard that you were ranked last in No. 8 Middle School!”

To protect my privacy, the teachers did not allow me to reveal my name, so it was obvious that they did not know my results in the four-city joint entrance examination.

I looked at them quietly. It turned out that Sun Shuyi had been bullied for a long time, so she was so inferior and weak.

I shook off the water droplets on my hands and asked, “So, what does this have to do with you?”

I stared at the girl with ponytail calmly.

She was stunned for a moment, but immediately smiled, “Little cutie Sun has become fierce, what, do you still want to hit me?”

She came closer to me. “Song Xiaoxue told me that you were overestimating yourself by liking Xiao Ling and seducing Zhou Yanfei, right?”

“Why don’t you look at yourself and see if you are worthy? Are you cheap or not?”

I lowered my head and laughed. Why are high school students so childish these days? My shoulders shook with laughter.

They got angry and grabbed my collar, “What are you laughing at?”

“open.”

I raised my eyes and glanced at her coldly. The strength in my hand obviously loosened, but the girl still gritted her teeth and said

“Try to take another look!”

“I saw it, what? Don’t just say it, it’s boring.”

When she raised her hand to slap me, I first stopped her hand and then slapped her with my other hand.

“Snap!” A crisp sound.

“Sun Shuyi! How dare you hit people!” The other two girls said this but did not move.

“Self-defense and intentional injury are two different concepts.”

I threw away the other person’s wrist that I had clamped.

“Anything else? I’m leaving now.”

When I returned to my seat, two boys sat in a row and looked at me, “Why are you so slow? We are going to eat Japanese food, hurry up and pack up.”

At this moment, a cup of ice milk tea poured down.

My hair, clothes, and the documents in front of me were all stained.

The three girls were in front of me, “Sun Shuyi, do you really think we are afraid of you? Do you really think we don’t remember the days when you ran errands for us? You were like a dog to us back then?”

“Gao Ting, what are you doing!?” Xu Jie stood up.

The girl turned around and saw Xu Jie. She was at a loss for words and almost spoke incoherently, “Xu…Xu Shen, why are you here…”

Zhou Yanfei immediately handed me a tissue and turned to them and said, “I don’t hit girls, get lost.”

I wiped my eyes and said calmly

“I got my clothes dirty and you got angry. That’s fair.”

Gao Ting turned around and found that many people were filming her.

I threw the review materials soaked in milk tea into the trash can. I had memorized them anyway.

This weekend, I went to the math competition cram school again after a long absence.

When he pushed open the door, he saw a woman with a good figure, wearing a shirt and jeans, with shoulder-length black hair, smiling and talking to Jiang Jibai.

The way she dresses is very similar to how I used to dress.

When she saw me come in, she was stunned for a moment, then whispered, “Abai, your students are here.”

Her eyes were deliberately curved very sharply, which seemed a bit deliberate.

Jiang Jibai looked up and saw me, and said calmly, “You haven’t been here for a long time.”

“Something happened at home.” I took out the materials and handed them to him. “I have done all the questions, but I don’t know if they are in accordance with the rules.”

The woman was wearing light makeup and took the information from me with interest. “Oh, you’re only starting to participate in competitions in your third year of high school? You should work hard. I was ranked first in the province in my second year of high school, and later I won the gold medal and was admitted.”

“I’m showing it to Teacher Jiang.”

I hate her, maybe because she seems to be deliberately imitating my past self, or maybe it’s just that our auras don’t match.

“Gu Yue, give it to me.” Jiang Jibai curled his lips and stretched out his hand to her.

She smiled back, but her eyes turned cold as she glanced at me. “Are all high school students so arrogant nowadays? You haven’t even entered Tsinghua University yet. If you knew me…”

“Sorry, I’m not interested.” I didn’t look at her, just stated the fact.

She smiled good-naturedly, “Okay, if you haven’t been beaten, you will be more arrogant.”

“Okay, Abai, I’ll pick you up for dinner after class.” She flicked her hair and ran out lightly.

Jiang Jibai flipped through my materials and actually praised me for the first time, “If you completed it independently, it’s a great improvement.”

“She looks a lot like Lin Min, doesn’t she?” I suddenly blurted out.

This time he didn’t shy away from saying, “Yes, she does.” Then he stared at me and said, “But apart from the appearance, you are more like her. You are exactly like her.”

“And can you tell me why your handwriting is exactly the same as Lin Min’s?” Those eyes seemed to want to see through me.

“Her handwriting is impossible to imitate. There are so many details.”

Jiang Jibai took me to Lin Min’s grave.

Drive from T City to Beijing.

We both don’t know where the courage came from, one dared to speak, and the other dared to believe it.

I looked at the tombstone with the little daisy on it and suddenly laughed.

The portrait on the tombstone is smiling, with eyes that are naturally smiling without any effort, and a very shallow dimple.

Long time no see, myself.

“Are you really Lin Min?”

Jiang Jibai squatted in front of the tombstone. “You have no family. When Gu Yue and I went to look for your body, your body was blown up. We simply dug out two pieces of bones, tested the DNA, and then buried you here.”

“Is it really okay for you to say that to my face?” I kicked a stone away. It was okay. As an orphan, I had nothing to miss.

“Have I ever been in love with you?” I suddenly became curious.

“Although I really want to lie to you and say yes, unfortunately, my love is unrequited.” He stood up, fumbling with the necklace around his neck and said, “You gave me a necklace, and I’ve been wearing it for two years and never took it off.”

“The person who died with you was our classmate, Gu Heng. He brought the explosives to your house, but I don’t know what happened.”

I searched for this name in my mind, and it seemed that there really was such a person who was generous and often treated people to dinner.

But Jiang Jibai asked, “You are back in high school, and you are not keeping a low profile at all. You got the first place in the four cities. Aren’t you afraid of suspicion?”

“Besides, you should still be popular, right?”

I thought of Zhou Yanfei’s relentless pursuit and Xiao Ling’s counterattack, and just sighed, wanting to say that high school students are really full of energy.

At this time, I saw a group of people being stopped by security guards. They were crying and shouting, holding hoes in their hands, “Give me back my son’s life, she will never be reborn!”

“Give me back my son Gu Heng’s life…”

He even held a loud speaker and shouted, “Tsinghua University’s Lin Min, you killed my son, you must go to the eighteenth level of hell and never be reborn!”

Jiang Jibai made a phone call and the police took them away again.

I watched from a distance and asked Jiang Jibai, “Does this happen often?”

“Yes, they are very persistent. Every time they come, I ask my friends to arrest them and take them to detention.”

“I have to thank them for blocking my path to rebirth. But why do they hate me?”

“After the explosion, Gu Heng’s parents arrived immediately. They refused to admit that it was Gu Heng who made the explosives. They insisted that you did it. Gu Heng was a child from a poor family. He was the first college student in the village, and he even went to Tsinghua University. They treated him like a treasure, and he was gone just like that.”

A scene suddenly appeared before my eyes:

“Lin Min, please save me. I can’t be expelled from school. Please help me and don’t tell anyone. If I’m expelled from school, I won’t live anymore. Going to jail is worse than death…”

“Why are you pretending to know nothing? I found the recordings in your computer… If they investigate me… I will drag you down with me even if I die! You die with me!!!”

I felt pain at the moment of the explosion, but then I lost consciousness. I saw the Black and White Impermanence dragging Gu Heng into the Eighteen Levels of Hell. He was looking so fierce and violent that he no longer looked like a normal human. Before he could drag me somewhere else, I ran in vain.

But I am still confused about what I saw.

Also, if he is from a poor family, why does he act like a rich man?

Who brought this disaster upon me?

“If I prove that there are souls in this world, will I win the Nobel Prize?”

On the way back, I asked Jiang Jibai, and he laughed loudly when he heard it, “Lin Min, you have become more humorous these days since you became a high school student.”

I looked at the corners of his mouth that were raised, which was completely different from before.

“When will you come back to Tsinghua?” He tightened his grip on the steering wheel. “I miss you every day.”

“I’ll come back after I pass the exam.” I watched the car driving on the highway.

“I believe you. In my eyes, you are omnipotent. It’s a pity that students from other schools cannot enter Tsinghua University now, otherwise I would definitely take you back to the debate club to have a look. Our original photos are still hanging there.”

I turned a ring made of a blade of grass I had pulled from the side of a tombstone.

The sky this evening was a rare pink-purple color.

When I got off the car, I couldn’t unfasten my seat belt no matter what. Jiang Jibai leaned over and unfastened it very easily.

He tilted his head slightly and looked me in the eyes.

The distance was very close, almost ambiguous. When he wanted to get closer, I opened the door and got out of the car. I stood outside the car and said to him, “Jiang Jibai, thank you for believing in me.”

On the weekend, my mother got two days off for the first time, so she took me back to her hometown to visit my grandparents.

When I returned to my hometown, they came to pick me up from far away. They had dark faces and rough hands, but they smiled when they saw me and my mother.

“Meizhen, Shuyi, you’re back?!”

Along the way, every household came out to greet us. It is a relatively backward mountain village, but everyone is very welcoming.

“Is Tsinghua’s top student back?”

“The Lu family is so lucky to have such a smart granddaughter!”

Maybe my grandparents exaggerated, everyone seemed to think that I had been admitted to Tsinghua University.

When I got home, I told my grandparents, “I haven’t been admitted to Tsinghua University yet…”

“What’s the big deal? You’re so good. You got first place in the last exam. It’s a done deal!”

Grandpa and grandma were busy making dumplings.

But my grandmother said, “That’s right. We can’t be too public about it. If the family knew about it, they might get jealous and do something naughty. Their house is full of talismans.”

“That family has never come back. They spend every day in Beijing, thinking about digging up that little girl’s grave!”

My hands were shaking while I was cutting garlic and I almost cut my fingers.

“Is your name Gu Heng?”

“Yes, yes, yes. He’s two years older than you. He studied at the Chemistry Department of Tsinghua University. He’s very smart. He came from the mountains. He studied there for two years, and then something happened!” Grandpa said in a loud voice.

“Shuyi, you have to be careful. Be more cautious when you go out. You are our only child.”

While eating dumplings, Xu Jie started a group video call. I answered it. I watched him and Zhou Yanfei lying in their homes playing games. I was so disappointed that “you don’t deserve to be ranked so high!”

“Brother, don’t forget that you were the one who played games with us most enthusiastically before.”

“That’s right, stop pretending, what delicious food do you want to eat?”

I picked up a dumpling and tasted it in front of them.

At this time, another call came in. I picked up the phone and heard a familiar female voice.

“Are you Sun Shuyi?” The tone was full of tension.

“right.”

“You should know that I’m Jiang Jibai’s girlfriend, right?”

Oh, it’s Gu Yue.

“have no idea.”

“Now that you know, I hope you can stay away from him. You’re only in high school, and you’re so good at seducing men?”

“Big sis, what are you crazy about?” The advantage of being a high school student is that I can call this annoying person big sis.

I heard from Jiang Jibai that Gu Yue was also my friend, but for some reason I couldn’t remember anything about her.

“Sun Shuyi, don’t think you are so great!” She became even angrier.

But this sentence sounds very familiar.

“Lin Min, don’t think you’re that great! It’s because you’re the one who suppresses me that I don’t get any chances!”

I shuddered.

In the middle of the night, when everyone was asleep, I went to Gu Heng’s house.

The house was darkly lit and built halfway up the mountain. If I hadn’t been a ghost for a long time, I would never have dared to come here.

The doors and windows of the wooden house were wide open, and there were densely packed talismans, but they were different from the previous talismans used to exorcise ghosts.

These talismans are specifically used to attract ghosts to return.

They were unwilling to give up Gu Heng, so they opened the doors and windows, posted these things, and waited for him to come home.

It’s a pity that I could feel that he never came back.

I sat on the threshold of his front door and made a video call to Jiang Jibai, “Do you still have the contact information of Gu Heng’s laboratory supervisor at that time?”

“Or someone he’s close to?”

“As long as you delete the chat history, everything will be fine.”

The person opposite him picked up his coffee tremblingly, as if he couldn’t believe that the online love object he sent a message to meet was actually a high school student.

“Don’t worry, I won’t reveal the chat history, but you have to answer truthfully.”

“That’s good…”

I was wearing a high school uniform and sitting next to a middle-aged man who was almost 40 years old, which really attracted attention.

“Gu Heng, do you know him?”

“I know him… I know him.”

“Tell me about it.”

“Actually, I have nothing to fear, except that he embezzled… embezzled research funds… He was afraid… He told me that a classmate heard him complain to me on the phone, and said he had evidence…”

“What kind of corruption is this?”

“Purchasing… data falsification. I don’t understand their advanced stuff… but if it’s discovered, it won’t be as simple as firing him. Then maybe he couldn’t get over it… so he made an explosive…”

I felt cold all over. “Did he tell me the name of the student who heard it?”

“Lin Min… He didn’t know at first, but then he asked a girl…”

“girl?”

“Yes… After he finished his phone call, he opened the door and saw a girl. The girl said that she had just seen Lin Min standing at the door and eavesdropping for a long time. She didn’t know what he was doing. She ran over and Lin Min ran away too…”

I was silent.

I didn’t hear Gu Heng’s call, and I wouldn’t eavesdrop at the door at all.

“Do you know who that girl is, the one who told Gu Heng?”

“I don’t know, I just saw it from a distance…”

I took out the photo I had prepared long ago and asked, “Is that her?”

The boss frowned and looked at her for a while, then suddenly said with certainty, “It’s her. This figure can’t be wrong!”

Ancient Moon.

“But why does Gu Heng believe everything she says?”

“He was too scared… Besides, who it was didn’t matter. If the truth came out, he would rather die than see the image he had worked so hard to build shattered.”

Gu Heng was already dead, and there was no evidence. Even his soul had turned into an evil ghost and was thrown into the palace of Hades and fried in oil and roasted.

I walked in the cold north wind in T City.

I didn’t go to the competition class today, and I began to doubt whether there was any point in doing so.

So what if he went to Tsinghua? Lin Min’s life ended just like that. Gu Heng died. But what about Gu Yue?

Everyone accepted the fact that Lin Min was killed by a madman, and no one investigated further.

Three days later, during the math competition, I had a fever of 40 degrees. Perhaps because I had not rested well in the past few days, my hands were shaking when I held the pen. Eight out of ten people taking the exam were boys, including students from prestigious schools, and many of them had received systematic training since childhood.

The numbers seem to be dancing on the paper.

Mathematics competitions are all about performance.

I don’t quite fit in with this word “body”, and there were a few moments when I almost felt like my soul was leaving my body.

After handing in the paper, I saw Jiang Jibai waiting for me in the crowd.

I walked over and said, “I think I failed the test.”

My legs went weak, and he seemed to have predicted it and caught me steadily. “Lin Min… you are already great…”

His cashmere coat rubbed against my face softly. I closed my eyes and said, “Why is it so difficult…”

“Don’t worry, I will get back everything that everyone owes you.”

The hug tightened and I couldn’t help but shed tears.

My failure in the competition seemed to be something that no one in the school had expected. Xiao Ling was successfully admitted to Peking University. I still remember what he said to me before he left school: “I know you are more capable than this, but I was just luckier.”

I said, “You really know how to rub salt into other people’s wounds.”

He smiled and said easily, “It seems you are fine. I will wait for you in Beijing, Sun Shuyi.”

When I got home, my mother was on the phone. She smiled and said, “I didn’t get a place…”

The phone was loud, and I heard the person on the other end say, “You said before that your daughter ranked first in the four cities?! People who scored worse than her were admitted. Go and bring back the red envelope that the supermarket gave you tomorrow!”

After hanging up the phone, my mother turned around and saw me, and quickly said, “Shuyi, it’s okay, I’ll make you a midnight snack.”

I looked at her slightly bent waist.

Suddenly asked, “Mom, if I am not Sun Shuyi at all…what would you do?”

She smiled and said, “How is that possible? You are a piece of meat in my belly. Can’t I recognize my own child?”

“Mom doesn’t expect you to get into Tsinghua University, as long as you are healthy and safe, that’s enough.”

Sun Shuyi, you have a good mother. Now I may have to tell a white lie for a long time.

After the competition, I started to be ignored by the school. They seemed to think, “Our school has invested so much effort in you, but you didn’t win a single place.”

It may only take one competition to fall from the altar.

While I was eating breakfast in a popular breakfast shop near the school gate, an arm suddenly hooked around my neck.

The other hand pinched my face and said, “Why do you look like you’re out of your mind?”

I didn’t say anything.

“Who bullied you?” He gently held my shoulders.

I looked up at him. He was really handsome, with perfect single eyelids, a high nose and thin lips. But unlike Xiao Ling and Jiang Jibai, he had a kind of passionate vitality all over his body.

“A very bad person.” I murmured.

“It can’t be me? It doesn’t seem like there’s any?” He wanted to make me laugh again, and asked the boss to bring another basket of dumplings and two bowls of crab roe noodles.

“Zhou Yanfei, if I were someone else, someone who died and whose soul now resides in Sun Shuyi’s body, would you still like me?”

“I like it. I also like you being a 200-pound strong man.” He took my soy milk and fried dough sticks and pushed the steamed buns to me. “Sun Shuyi, I won’t let you go. Eat more. After eating, we can go to Tsinghua together.”

He probably thought that I was so sad because I lost the competition, so he carefully made me laugh and comforted me without mentioning it.

I was just about to thank him when his group of friends came in again and the first thing they asked for was “five bowls of pork chop noodles.”

When he saw me and Zhou Yanfei, he immediately realized, “My brother Fei has been unable to sleep and eat these past two days because he is thinking about you. Student Sun, don’t be too sad. If you lose the competition, you lose. Brother Fei will protect you…”

Zhou Yanfei threw a schoolbag over, and the little brother kept yelling, “Sister-in-law, Brother Fei has become more and more irritable recently, you have to take good care of him!”

At this time, the crab roe noodles came, and they shouted again, “Breakfast crab roe noodles, worthy of Mr. Zhou.”

“Shut up.” Zhou Yanfei scolded

But his expression changed quickly, and when he looked at me, his squinting eyes immediately switched back to a smile. “Eat it quickly, it won’t taste good if it gets cold.”

I stared at the crab roe noodles that Zhou Yanfei pushed to me. He had mixed it very evenly, and it was bright yellow and exuded a fresh fragrance.

Jiang Jibai returned to Beijing, and I did not tell him what I had heard about Gu Yue.

I think there is a long time to come, and after this period of time is over, I will make sure to get this matter clear.

The countdown to the college entrance examination changes every day, and test papers are thrown down overwhelmingly. The science subjects are okay, but the copying and mechanical dictation of liberal arts subjects make me feel like my wrists are about to break.

Xu Jie had already gone to Beijing for tourism, and would send me some photos of Tiananmen Square and Peking duck from time to time.

From the chilly February to the early summer when a thin layer of sweat would form on the body as soon as one moved, it seemed that I temporarily forgot that I was Lin Min.

When I went to the bathroom to get water, I saw Zou Wen again. She had heavy dark circles under her eyes. When she saw me, she took two steps back.

Since what she said in the cafeteria that day was heard by everyone, I called the police. Because the injuries on my body were healed by using my vital energy, Zou Wen was only given a warning and a education.

Song Xiaoxue also broke off with her completely.

Zou Wen still hates me, and I know she must have hoped that I died that night.

After I got the water, she called me from behind, “You are not Sun Shuyi, right?”

I turned around and she bit her lip and said forcefully, “You can’t be her!” She was so excited that the flesh on her cheeks was shaking. “She has low self-esteem, is stupid, and stutters easily, but you… and I saw it clearly, her head was smashed… it’s impossible for it to recover in one day…”

I smiled and said, “The real Sun Shuyi was killed by you. Did you forget falling from such a high bridge?”

“Then who are you?” Her hands were shaking and her voice was trembling.

“All you need to know is that your ridiculous jealousy killed an innocent man. You will have to pay for your debt every day from now on.”

I tightened the water cup and said, “Zou Wen, you had a chance to get better, but you ruined everything with your own hands.”

The last three days before the college entrance examination were marked by continuous heavy rains.

I sat in the classroom, looking over the knowledge points that I had already memorized, and occasionally checking a few steps on a piece of draft paper.

When the squad leader uncovered the countdown, there was another round of wailing.

“No~ I can’t finish my review~~”

“I don’t want to take the college entrance exam!!”

But more people, like Wu Qing in the back seat and Fu Lei at the same table, hoped that the fight would end quickly.

The first time is new, the second time is familiar. If Lin Min was a little nervous when facing the college entrance examination before, now all I can do is look forward to it coming soon.

After evening self-study, Song Xiaoxue found me.

She also seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and her eyes looked bigger.

“Sun Shuyi, I lost to you.” She pursed her lips and smiled at me, “I am willing to admit defeat.”

“I’ve never made any bets with you.” I looked at her twinkling eyes and marveled, how could someone be so beautiful.

“I made a bet with you.” She lowered her eyes and said regretfully, “I bet you are cheating, I bet Zhou Yanfei is just a temporary novelty, and I bet I will win beautifully.”

Song Xiaoxue laughed at herself and said, “But I lost.”

“Also, I’m sorry for being so mean to you before. I don’t ask you to forgive me. Good luck in the college entrance exam.”

The girl turned around, her high ponytail swinging behind her slender neck.

During the college entrance examination, when the bell rang at the last moment, I knew that my second senior year of high school was over.

This year’s college entrance examination questions are still difficult in science, which is my strong point.

When I walked out of the examination room, my mother appeared outside the examination room with a bouquet of flowers in her hand.

I saw Zhou Yanfei walking out of the examination room. His father and mother were waiting for him. His father had a bald head and wore an Hermès belt, which was exactly what he called a nouveau riche. His mother had a very good temperament, tall and fair, and was waiting for him in a dress with a bouquet of flowers.

He and I smiled at each other and each returned to the arms of our family.

When the results came out, my mother and I were sitting in front of the computer. The moment she saw the results, she jumped up, started clapping, and then hugged me.

In fact, Tsinghua University’s admissions office had called me a long time ago, saying that I “might” have reached the score requirement. I had seen this routine three years ago, and I replied, “Okay, I’ll go talk to Peking University.”

The other party was anxious, “No, no, we have something to talk about~”

I still chose Tsinghua, not only because it is the place where I can realize my dreams, but also because there are so many people I love there.

As soon as “Dad” got the news, he held a banquet and invited relatives and friends to my graduation party.

“Dad” stood together with Mom for the first time, and both of them had bright eyes.

I walked to the hotel and saw a very tacky red inflatable arch with the words “Congratulations to my daughter Sun Shuyi for being admitted to Tsinghua University”.

The stepmother sat at the table with an angry look on her face and snatched her brother’s phone away. “Play, play! Just play games! You are so stupid!”

My younger brother just lost a game and started to cry and make a scene, “It’s all your fault! You talked so much nonsense! I lost!”

The stepmother slapped him and said, “I told you to cry, so you cry!”

At this time, “Dad” walked over and yelled, “You’re crying here on such a happy day?! If you don’t want to stay, go home!”

I watched all this calmly without saying a word.

Maybe to “Dad”, it doesn’t matter who I am. What matters is that I have earned face for him and he is very happy.

The banquet started, and I went on stage to say a few words according to the program. The host said with great emotion, “She is a recognized genius girl in No. 8 Middle School. She went from being unknown to making a splash in the joint entrance examination of four cities. She had a smooth journey and was admitted to the highest institution of learning in China. Let’s invite tonight’s protagonist, Sun Shuyi, to say a few words!”

The hall was lit up with lights. I looked at the familiar and unfamiliar faces and thought back to the twenty years I had spent as Lin Min.

“There is no such thing as a genius, nor is there anything that goes smoothly. I can only say that maybe I wanted everything in the past, but everything was not enough, and I was in a morbid pursuit of being number one.”

My life used to be the most perfect blueprint in the eyes of others, but at the moment of my life ending, I couldn’t even remember a trace of the pure beauty.

My happiness has always been based on my achievements.

“But now, I want to enjoy the fireworks of the world.”

Everything seemed to have been accelerated. When I reported to Tsinghua University, Jiang Jibai was waiting for me at the school gate in a white shirt with a healing smile. But that smile came to an abrupt end when two boys suddenly appeared behind me.

“Teacher Jiang, you are so unkind. Do you hate me so much when you see me?” Xu Jie hooked his shoulders.

A year later, I came back here again.

Familiar campus, familiar everything.

Even the smiling faces of the new students are the same.

“Come on, classmates, can I take a picture for you?”

I stood in front of the report board with three other people and took a photo.

Then they each went to find a dormitory.

After putting my luggage away, I went to the debate club.

Now the president has become Gu Yue.

I saw my photo on the list of all the past presidents.

The me in the photo is just a freshman in college, with a young face but a determined look in my eyes.

The trophy I won is still placed in the most conspicuous place.

As my fingertips passed by, it seemed as if I was back to that day.

“Don’t touch it. It’s precious.”

Gu Yue, wearing a dress, walked slowly towards her from behind.

“You’re here after all.” She sat down and crossed her legs.

I stared at her. “Gu Yue. You told a big lie.”

She took a sip of coffee. “What?”

“You want to join the debate club, right? Sorry, it’s full.” She stirred her coffee casually.

I took out my recorder and played the conversation between me and the middle-aged man.

When she heard “Yes! It’s her!”, her hands began to tremble slightly.

“The video file is on my computer.”

“So what? The person is already dead? Who would listen to your messed up speculations?”

Gu Yue put down the cup and said, “Even if I asked you to record it and told you that I deliberately led Gu Heng to think that it was you who heard the secret, so what?”

She curled her bright lips and said, “They all turned to ashes, but I am still alive and well. I am also Jiang Jibai’s girlfriend.”

I lowered my head and stroked the recorder. “Xiao Gu, you should still recognize me, right?”

Her hands shook and the coffee spilled all over the floor.

“What did you say…?”

“Nothing.” I stared at her. “Are you scared?”

I turned around.

“You should pay me back for what you owe me.”

She stood up and laughed exaggeratedly, “What are you talking about, Sun Shuyi, are you imitating Lin Min like me?”

“But she’s dead. Not even a bone is left! Bang!”

“The fire that day was so beautiful.” She approached me, her eyes full of joy. “I thought of Lin Min’s blood and flesh flying everywhere… I was so happy that I went crazy.”

“It was you who instigated Gu Heng, wasn’t it?” I stared at her face. In fact, she was nothing like my past self. She had thick lips and big eyes. She was a beauty.

“He made the explosives and went there on his own. How can you say I instigated it?”

She looked at me and suddenly shouted “Lin Min!…Lin Min…” Then she laughed “Hahahaha it’s really you…”

Why did her mental state suddenly become so bad?

Gu Yue rubbed his temple, still smiling, “I told him that you overheard his phone call, but that’s not why he killed you…”

“I told him that you kept scolding him for being poor and calling him a country bumpkin from the mountains behind his back… Hahaha, you don’t know his expression at that time…”

She suddenly stopped smiling, stared behind me and screamed in fear, “Gu Heng…? Don’t come over here! Don’t come over here!”

I turned around and saw nothing. When I looked back again, I saw her holding the trophy and throwing it at me.

One hand blocked it, blood flowed down the arm. I don’t know why Zhou Yanfei appeared here.

He just gave her a light push and Gu Yue fell to the ground.

She smiled foolishly with a dazed look in her eyes.

I saw Jiang Jibai immediately control her, but his dark pupils were staring at me, and I didn’t know what was implied in them.

My hands were stained with Zhou Yanfei’s blood. I held down his arm and the blood was still oozing out, but he kept asking me if I was okay.

When I took Zhou Yanfei to the hospital, his hand was still bleeding, and it was likely that he had injured an artery.

“Are you stupid?” I actually expected that she had bad intentions, so I could have avoided it.

“Yeah, I’m stupid.” His lips were a little pale, but his eyes never left me.

“Sun Shuyi, I’ve told you many times that you don’t have to be so…perfect in front of me, and you can rely on me.”

I met his passionate eyes and my heart suddenly skipped a beat.

All the events of the past year came rushing in.

When he was getting stitches, his unyielding handsomeness was shattered and he howled for the doctor to be gentler.

“I’ll give you a tetanus shot later.” The doctor said coldly, “Address?”

“Tsinghua University…” Zhou Yanfei gritted his teeth and grabbed my hand.

“Hey, schoolmate, you can’t be so afraid of pain. Your girlfriend is watching us.” The doctor’s eyes behind the glasses flashed mischievously.

Gu Yue was sent to a mental hospital, and no one could find out why she went crazy out of nowhere.

But I know that when a certain amount of drugs are added to food every day, it can cause irreversible damage.

Only one person has the ability to make a drug that is so difficult to detect.

I know it was Jiang Jibai who was helping me, but he actually stayed with Gu Yue for a whole year and gave her such medicine.

“The law can’t punish her, this is the only way.” Jiang Jibai looked at me and said with a smile, “She took away my light, the you who stood in front of me, the you who I would give everything for as long as you stood in front of me.” His eyes were red, but he was still smiling, “Lin Min, maybe one day I will be punished, but you must be clean.”

He reached out and ruffled the strands of hair on my forehead. “Who heard my prayers and sent you here?”

“But the most painful thing is that you will never love me.” When Jiang Jibai said this, his voice was very soft, and there was a flash of sadness in his eyes.

He drank the coffee in front of him and stood up. “I’m going abroad. I’ll take a flight next Monday to Harvard. Knowing that you’re doing well is enough for me.”

“If you want to find me, it’s just a phone call.” He smiled and regained his warmth.

When my chemistry tutor contacted me, I was driving. When I heard his voice, tears welled up in my eyes. Lao Lu once said that I was his most proud student. At this moment, his voice was polite but a little distant.

“Teacher Lu, thank you for calling me.”

“It’s nice to chat with you, Mr. Sun. In fact, to my shame, I shed tears while talking to you. You look a lot like one of my students.” His voice sounded a little older than before.

“Gu Yue dropped out of school, and she took over her project from someone else, but it has not made any progress. Are you interested?”

“have!”

That is my baby, the scientific research that I poured my heart and soul into but was never able to complete.

After hanging up the phone, I drove to my destination, wanting to give a bouquet of flowers to my former lover Lin Min.

But I saw Gu Heng’s family making a fuss from a distance, so I got off the car.

He walked into the cemetery with an expressionless face, snatched the hoe from Gu Heng’s mother, and dug up my grave.

I was very quick and broke the tombstone into pieces with my hoe, then dug out the urn and held it in my hands.

I threw the hoe back to them who were stunned, and got into the car without looking back.

Looking at the bouquets of flowers and the urn still covered with soil placed side by side on the passenger seat, I laughed so loudly that I almost cried.

The car drove away from the cemetery at a high speed, and I knew I was going to say goodbye to Lin Min.

When I returned to No. 8 Middle School as an outstanding alumnus, I saw my photo printed on the brochure distributed by the middle school.

A student stopped me, looked at me with starry eyes and said, “Excuse me, are you Senior Sun Shuyi?”

I nodded, and they were very excited. “I heard that you were admitted to Tsinghua University from the top 1,000 in the school! Can you teach us?!”

I smiled and said, “Don’t give up hope. Live every day as if it were your last. And… maybe one day you’ll be possessed by a top student.”

As the chief dancer, I stood on the stage, looking at the new batch of freshmen and juniors who were promoted to the second and third year of high school.

I have lived two completely different lives and two completely different senior years of high school.

I turned on the microphone, cleared my throat, and made an opening statement.

“Freshmen of the first year of high school, welcome to No. 8 Middle School. Juniors and juniors of the third year of high school, welcome to hell mode.”

Everyone laughed and applauded, but only those who have experienced it know what hell mode is. It is clearly the ticket to dreams.

I made Sun Shuyi successful, just as Sun Shuyi saved my soul.

I will use this healthy body to ride the wind and waves.
