Si Er was still earnestly pleading when suddenly two large red fireballs flew out and enveloped him and Yu Beixuan respectively.
Si Er felt the scene before him shift, suddenly transforming into his very familiar school campus. Energetic middle school students came and went around him, all walking in twos and threes, while he stood alone in the middle of the crowd.
"Gurgle..."
An embarrassing sound rang out, and Si Er instinctively clutched his stomach, feeling intensely hungry.
It looks like he hasn't eaten enough in days.
Si Er's memories were completely pulled back to the past. There were many fees to pay this semester, and he had already used up the living expenses the dean had given him for the month. With the end of the month approaching, Si Er was too embarrassed to ask the dean for more money and just wanted to bear it.
But the feeling of hunger is unpleasant and not so easy to endure.
Seeing a familiar-looking classmate walk past her, Si Er subconsciously reached out her hand: "Classmate Chen..."
He thought, that was his classmate, and they had never been enemies. It would be alright to lend him a few meals' worth of money, right? He would definitely pay him back as soon as his living expenses arrived next month.
But the classmate seemed not to see him, walked straight past him, and hooked his arm around another boy's shoulder.
A short while later, Si Er saw another classmate. He went over to ask for help again, but was ignored once more.
The feeling of hunger grew stronger, but Si'er couldn't borrow money for food, so she could only drink cup after cup of water in the classroom.
During the lunch break, he overheard several girls discussing in class how to arrange the upcoming duty roster.
"Huh? Si Er? Who's Si Er? I don't recognize the name."
"Yeah, is there such a person in our class?"
Si Er looked back at the girls sitting together. At this moment, there were only him and them in the classroom. He felt that his seat was not too far away, but it seemed that no one could see him.
One of the girls thought for a moment and said, "I think there is such a person. He looks quite cute, but he doesn't like to talk and doesn't have much of a presence."
"Oh right, I remember he was first in our class in the last monthly exam."
"First place? He's so humble."
"She's in first place? How come I have no recollection of her at all?"
"Haha, you only remember that the top student in the grade is your idol, how could you remember who the top ten in the grade are?"
Si Er thought to herself, "Do I have to get first place to feel like I exist?"
So he spent two extra hours studying every day and finally achieved first place in his grade in the final exam.
He thought that many people would remember him now, but they didn't.
"Oh? XXX only got second place this time? What a pity."
"Second place is not bad either; judging from the score, he's still quite solid."
"By the way, summer vacation is coming soon, where are you guys going to go?"
"Sigh, I don't get to play. My mom said I'm going to be a senior in high school soon, and I'll have to take extra classes all summer."
"Help! I'm only in my second year of high school next semester!"
Si Er listened to the discussions around him. Some were lamenting that the former top student had only come in second this time, while others were discussing how to spend their summer vacation.
Occasionally a few people will mention his name, but the conversation will quickly shift to other topics.
