"My answer is, I refuse."
Jiang Qing was stunned, his mind went blank, and all he could see was the sea of pink flowers and the girl's bright smile so close to him.
She was in a trance, her lips opening and closing: "W-why?"
Why did he have to get closer? Why didn't he stay away? Why could he still be kind to her after she said such hurtful things?
Jiang Qing stood on tiptoe, picked the petals hanging on Jiang Qing's ear, put them in her hand and blew gently.
Jiang Qing's gaze followed the swaying petals and slowly fell on the grass outside the corridor.
The green is dotted with pink dots, which easily catches the eye.
Jiang Jiang, you are so dazzling.
"No reason."
Jiang Qing withdrew her gaze and shrugged, full of vitality, not at all affected by the other party's words.
"You do your thing, I do mine, and we don't interfere with each other."
Even after returning to the classroom, this sentence kept lingering in Jiang Qing's mind for a long time.
"Oh, you're quite happy."
Her shoulder was hit hard, and the sudden dull pain brought Jiang Qing back to her senses. She covered her shoulder and lowered her eyes.
When the students nearby saw this scene, they pushed their friends away from the scene, and in a blink of an eye, they made room for this corner.
Yu Mushi turned around and sat down on Jiang Qing's seat smoothly. She picked up the textbook on the table with her fingers, glanced at it lightly, and threw it on the ground frivolously.
"Sorry, my hand slipped." She said the apology without any sincerity.
Seeing the man standing there like a wooden man, Yu Mushi asked in surprise: "Why? You don't want these things anymore?"
"Don't you want to pick it up?" she said with a smile.
Various gazes fell on Jiang Qing obscurely, like fine needles. Her fingertips trembled slightly, and she slowly squatted down and picked up the scattered papers one by one.
A black leather shoe suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. The sole stayed on the back of her hand for a moment, and then rolled over it with a force that was neither too strong nor too weak, but with a hint of insult.
Jiang Qing looked up, and Yu Mushi's outline was blurred in the backlight. The girl's face was gloomy. She met her gaze, raised her foot, and sneered with disdain.
"Who was that woman who came to see you just now?"
A careless voice sounded above his head, and Jiang Qing couldn't help but clench his fingers.
She lowered her head to pick up the sketchbook, "A classmate I don't know very well."
Yu Mushi looked at her, half-believing and half-doubting: “I’m not very familiar with you, so why would I come to you?”
"She found my student ID and came to return it to me." Jiang Qing stood up holding the textbook, the exposed back of his hand was red.
Yu Mushi stared at the small piece of red for a long time before saying, "It's best."
She clapped her hands and stood up, refusing to walk in a straight line and bumped into Jiang Qing who was standing in the corner and returned to her seat.
Jiang Qing put the textbook on the table, took out a tissue and wiped the dust off the textbook vigorously, again and again.
She listened to the teasing of several girls behind her.
"Mu Shi, you are so brave."
The girl sneered: "You are wrong to say that. It's not that I dare to do it, but look at who in our class stands up for her. Isn't it because she is so annoying."
"My shoes are almost broken from stepping on them. My bones are pretty hard. It's so annoying."
Yu Xue covered her mouth and laughed when she heard that, and the sisters around her also smiled kindly.
"No matter how tough she was, she's become soft now, isn't she? If you really don't like her, just throw her out and let her teach you a lesson."
She changed the subject as she spoke, "But if you want to lecture someone, you'll have to do it quickly."
Yu Mushi leaned on the table, staring at Jiang Qing's back, kicking her feet.
She kicked the person and chair at the front table crookedly. The person was angry but dared not say anything, and his back became more and more bent.
"Look at you, you're such a coward." She snorted impatiently and kicked out. The boy who was sitting carefully in front was not prepared and fell down with a thud. He sat on the ground for a long time, holding his tailbone and not daring to look back.
Yu Mushi laughed twice and turned to ask Yu Xue: "What did you mean by what you said just now?"
Yu Xue ignored Mu Shi's bad taste and played with a strand of hair. Upon hearing this, she raised her eyelids slightly in surprise: "You don't know yet?"
Yu Mushi frowned: "What should I know? Don't beat around the bush, just say it directly."
"Mina," Yu Xue said nonchalantly, "She's coming back."
It was like a depth charge was thrown into the calm lake, causing ripples to appear and huge waves to surge.
The sound of Jiang Qing's pen tip rubbing against the paper suddenly stopped, leaving a long crack.
At the same time, the group of people behind fell into dead silence.
Yu Mushi: "Where did you get the news?"
Yu Xue pulled a small round mirror from her pocket, pressed her pinky finger against her plump lips, and dabbed on a thin layer of lip gloss. While observing her appearance, she replied nonchalantly, "She posted about it on WeChat Moments last night. Her flight is today."
"At this time," she paused, ignoring Yu Mushi's suddenly gloomy expression, "it should have landed."
Yu Mushi slid her fingers up and down the phone screen, but no message came out.
"Ah," Yu Xue feigned surprise as she looked at Yu Mushi's actions. "With that expression on your face, she won't block you, will she?"
"If you can't speak, just shut up." Yu Mushi became angry and embarrassed.
Yu Xue closed the mirror with a click, not minding the girl's impolite behavior.
He leaned against the table, his eyes and eyebrows revealing a sense of contempt. He raised his chin and gestured to the other party, "I'm kindly giving you a suggestion. If you want to deal with someone as soon as possible, otherwise if you miss this time, it will be difficult in the future."
"Yu, Xue!" Yu Mushi shouted through gritted teeth.
The onlookers subconsciously moved away from the two people in the center of the blizzard, but Yu Xue, who was called out, was not panicked at all and still spoke in that lazy voice.
She scratched her ears and said, "Stop shouting, I can hear you."
"If you have this much time, why don't you take care of the wound on her hand? Tsk, tsk, so pitiful." She shook her head and glanced at the girl sitting in front of her. "It looks like the mark won't go away anytime soon."
"You knew it earlier, why didn't you remind me!?" Yu Mushi stared at her.
"Oh," Yu Xue paused and said halfheartedly, "I just remembered, who told you to move so quickly?"
Yu Mushi: “You!”
Yu Xue raised her eyebrows: "Aren't you going?"
Yu Mushi originally wanted to go, but was provoked by Yu Xue's attitude. She instantly stood still like a mountain, her butt glued to the chair, and said stubbornly, "Isn't this just right?"
Yu Xue reconsidered after hearing this and agreed, "That's true."
Although Yu Mushi said this, after thinking about it, she walked to Jiang Qing's desk and tapped the table lightly.
The black figure blocked the sunlight coming through the window. Jiang Qing looked at the shadow cast on the paper and clenched her pen.
Yu Mushi glanced at the back of the girl's right hand, which was red and swollen, and indeed conspicuous.
She looked away and cleared her throat, but before she could speak, her throat was blocked by Jiang Qing's words.
"I won't tell her."
Yu Mushi was stuck, and she said coldly, "You're smart" before turning around and leaving.
Jiang Qing stared at the word "Mina" that suddenly appeared on the paper, lost in thought.
Why...is she coming back?
The strength in his hand became stronger and stronger. The pencil lead could not withstand the pressure and suddenly broke. The right half of the word "Na" was instantly black.
Just then, the campus radio suddenly sounded.
"Dear students, please take note. We are announcing a lost and found notice. A student lost a white voice recorder with a pink shell cartoon sticker on it on campus on May 6th. It contained important study materials."
"If you find it, please hand it over to the monitor of Class 9, Grade 2. The person who returns it will be rewarded handsomely. The reward can be discussed in person. The owner has promised a reward of no less than 200 yuan."
"Let's build a harmonious campus together. Thank you for your kindness!"
"This announcement is repeated three times. Dear students, please pay attention..."
Song Shuang looked at Chen Heng who was broadcasting casually in the radio station. Her classmates who were originally at the radio station were pushed to a corner by him. She couldn't help but turn around and say to Jiang Qing.
"You're really generous! Two hundred yuan is enough to buy a new recorder, and this is the minimum wage."
Jiang Qing sat on a swivel chair, tapping her toes lightly as her body spun with the chair. She held her chin with her hand, her gaze fixed on the void, unfocused.
Song Shuang: "...What's wrong with her?"
Lin Nanyan: "I don't know, it became like this as soon as I came back."
Song Shuang couldn't help but cast a disdainful look at the boy. This childhood sweetheart was becoming increasingly incompetent and didn't know anything.
She simply reached out and blocked Jiang Qing's swivel chair, and the girl finally came back to her senses. "Huh? What's wrong?"
Song Shuang: "I said..."
Jiang Qing's gaze passed over Song Shuang. She had a vague guess but wasn't sure. "Lin Nanyan, please help me analyze what's going on. I can't figure it out."
Song Shuang: ...
Hello, there are people in the middle.
Lin Nanyan: "You talk, I listen."
"Senior Jiang Qing told me not to look for her anymore. Why would someone's attitude change so drastically overnight?"
It was obvious that when they parted last night, the senior sister said goodbye to her with a smile on her face, but today she said that she didn't want to be friends with her anymore. Although the senior sister didn't say it explicitly, this was what she meant.
"It's true that studying is very important for high school seniors. I admit that what the senior said is right, but..."
Song Shuang exploded before she even finished listening, "She actually said you delayed her studies?!"
"What kind of person is this? We sincerely wanted to be friends with her, but she always blames you," she said, her voice puffing up like a firecracker. "Jiang Jiang, if you ask me, I'll just ignore her from now on. She takes my kindness for granted."
Jiang Qing stretched out her hands and slapped the girl's face, flattening her angry cheeks. "That's not what I meant."
Song Shuang didn't dodge, and was forced to pout and say: "She is just like this."
"No," Jiang Qing turned around, "Lin Nanyan, you go ahead."
Lin Nanyan, who was called out, raised his eyes from his thoughts and looked at the two girls playing in front of him.
"Or, it's possible that Song Shuang mentioned that the senior sister doesn't want to communicate with us."
Song Shuang was under firm control but he still nodded vigorously, saying, "That's right."
"But judging by the senior sister's sudden change of attitude, the probability is very small," Lin Nanyan continued without interruption. "Since she didn't actively distance herself, there is only one possibility."
"The senior chose to stay away from us for some unknown reason, perhaps because of something, or because of-"
He said calmly, "Someone."
Jiang Qing's eyes met his, and her heart stopped for a moment.
What if Li Qingyun had communicated with the senior student out of her sight?
but why?
If Li Qingyun meets his senior again, what would be his reason for giving up killing?
What was the reason that controlled Senior Jiang Qing to stay away from her?
In the chaos, Jiang Qing somehow thought of Li Qingyun from the future who knew all her personal information.
