Pride
Jiang Qing's appearance reminded Yu Mushi of the past.
Jiang Qing was not like this at the beginning. He was silent, gentle, obedient, and always hiding in the corner.
Jiang Qing was a transfer student who transferred to their class in their senior year of high school.
In fact, this situation is actually very rare, and there are very few students who transfer schools in their senior year of high school.
Generally speaking, temporary transfers in the senior year of high school are because students want to change their household registration across provinces to participate in the college entrance examination. What's worse, some students simply fail to enroll and then change their provincial college entrance examination.
But Jiang Qing was not like that. She was originally from this province and simply changed schools, so she seemed particularly unusual.
Yu Mushi didn't remember what Jiang Qing looked like when he first came to their class. He was just a transfer student and not worth her attention.
Jiang Qing is very talented, especially in the field of painting. It is not surprising that she chose to take the art college entrance examination.
At least in their class, more than 80% are gifted students, and the remaining 20% are just there to get a degree and have other plans early on.
Therefore, when a talented, studious and down-to-earth student suddenly appeared in the chaotic class, it was natural that she would be very popular with the teacher.
Although the teacher did not express anything strongly, the satisfaction and joy that inadvertently revealed in her eyes still annoyed many people. Her dazzling talent was irritating.
Without the guidance of famous teachers, expensive paints or rare brushes, her works are full of unconcealable aura. How does she do that?
What were those days of hard work day and night compared to her?
What's more, she is an outsider.
It is a destroyer of the inherent order, an invader of the stable group, and a bug that needs to be cleared during program operation.
Even she herself is so unpleasant, always keeping to herself, aloof and xenophobic.
Thus, a vigorous hunting operation against Jiang Qing was quietly launched on a bright spring day.
It all started with torn drawing paper, glue-covered chairs, and missing pencils...
Later, it escalated to throwing school bags in people's faces, splashing water in the toilet, and pushing people from the rooftop...
Yu Mushi had occasionally seen some wounds on Jiang Qing's body and had run into Jiang Qing being bullied, but she just arrogantly passed by the girl who was sitting on the ground, soaking wet.
As she said, Yu Mushi had never cared about girls, and would not give such a cowardly person any side eye.
Yes, a coward, that was her first impression of Jiang Qing.
In her eyes, people who can't even muster the courage to resist are incompetent.
Weakness is the original sin, and incompetence is even more so.
Jiang Qing is still alive, living a humble, weak, and dust-like life, but in Yu Mushi's eyes she has long been a wandering soul.
So, naturally, she couldn't see the blazing fire flashing in the girl's eyes when she lowered her head, couldn't see the girl's spine that had never bent, and couldn't taste the vigorous vitality that had never been extinguished and was always burning under this gentle face.
Things started to go wrong, and Yu Mushi realized it belatedly.
What is it?
For some people, it is the drastically changed writing habits, the irritable and complicated mood, and the increasingly poor paintings.
They were surprised to find that they had regressed!
Not only in painting skills, but also in state of mind.
The surrounding sighs and regrets, as well as the sorrow in the teacher's eyes, made them collapse in vain.
It’s Jiang Qing!
She did it on purpose!
When learning to walk in Handan, I ended up failing miserably!
They found Jiang Qing angrily, but they found that Jiang Qing was actually smiling. There was no sarcasm, no contempt, no pleasure, she was just smiling.
That smile didn't mean anything, but they obviously didn't think so at the moment.
A group of people rushed forward one after another, weaving a dense and fine net, trying to catch and kill the poisonous insect, just as they did in the past.
To everyone's surprise, Jiang Qing was no longer the poor little girl who was bullied by others. She began to fight back.
If someone throws water at her, she will throw it back; if someone tears up a painting, she will tear it back; if there is a group fight, she will bite someone tightly and won't let go.
This reckless attitude actually makes some people feel timid.
Jiang Qing was like a calm gambler, with a crazy energy that scared away everyone.
This was a war without the smoke of gunpowder, and no one from the parents, teachers or school was alarmed.
From its beginning to its end, it is hidden in a corner of the campus.
Jiang Qing handled everything with ease, as if he had practiced it thousands of times.
Yu Mushi noticed it, but just as she ignored the situation where one side attacked while the other retreated, at this moment, she also had no interest in the drama where one side was defeated and the other side was victorious.
To her, neither that group of people nor Jiang Qing's dramatic counterattack could cause any ripples in her heart.
Again, what does it have to do with her?
If, if it weren't for Mina, she would have been like this.
But Mina happened to get involved.
Mina wasn't often at school. She was one of the remaining 20% of her class, her family having arranged for her to study abroad long ago. She was supposed to attend high school abroad, but somehow something went wrong and Mina ended up attending their high school.
Yu Mushi was extremely surprised. She had not originally expected to go to high school with Mina, but in the end they became classmates.
Mina's appearances at school became less and less frequent as she got older. Yu Mushi had expected this. She knew that Mina was staying abroad for a long time and would only stay at school for a short while.
But at this moment, she was also very happy that Mina could give her time, so that they could enjoy snacks and talk about their troubles together as usual.
Although Mina looks flamboyant and overbearing, she is actually a very nice person.
Many people rushed to make friends with Mina, and Mina couldn't bear to refuse, so she had to help and help get rid of those annoying flies, which she was always proud of.
She claims to be Mina's best friend, and Yu Xue is of course also hers, but they are just plastic best friends.
Until one day, Jiang Qing suddenly appeared at a party of three of them.
Yu Mushi frowned. Why was someone who shouldn't be here here?
She watched Mina take care of Jiang Qing, watched Mina care about Jiang Qing, and watched Mina's attention being easily taken away.
There was a voice in her heart telling her vaguely that this time was different.
Unfortunately, her premonition came true.
Later on, Jiang Qing actually showed signs of replacing her. How could Yu Mushi tolerate this?
Her eyes, as sharp as blades, shot towards Jiang Qing. If looks could kill, Jiang Qing would have been killed thousands of times already.
Jiang Qing raised her eyes and looked at her. The person whose face was once blurred in her mind was reflected in the depths of her pupils, with clear features.
For the first time, Yu Mushi truly saw the stubbornness, unyielding spirit, and the burning flame in Jiang Qing's eyes.
She finally understood why the seemingly weak girl in front of her won the previous battle.
But it doesn’t matter, because she is facing Yu Mushi.
She wants to help her break down her pride, her pride, and her edge inch by inch.
Jiang Qing is a person who believes in tit for tat. The broken drawing paper is broken, so she can only tear up other people's drawing papers as well. But what if she can't hurt the other person?
Yu Mushi didn't need to do it herself, but the things on Jiang Qing's desk were always dirty and broken the next day.
Even if she finds one person, there will be another person waiting for her.
Yu Mushi can afford it, but can Jiang Qing afford it?
Studying art costs money, and for this reason alone, she had to give in.
Just as Yu Mushi expected, Jiang Qing lowered his head.
Although her clenched fists, slow tone of voice, and even the stubbornly raised strand of hair all expressed her unwillingness, Yu Mushi didn't care, as she didn't need the other party to be willing.
She looked at Jiang Qing who lowered her head in front of her, and accepted her apology in a good mood. With a wave of her hand, she stopped the storm that she had created.
Without sacrificing any manpower and without getting his hands dirty, Yu Mushi contentedly accepted the spoils that belonged to him.
She enjoyed the feeling.
Until Mina stepped into the campus again and said to her: "Mushi, you passed."
At that moment, Yu Mushi wanted to kill someone.
It turned out that Jiang Qing had never surrendered, it turned out that she was just confusing her, it turned out that she was the one who could really kill her with one blow.
Yu Mushi apologized to Jiang Qing with a gloomy face, trying her best to suppress all the anger in her heart.
Yu Mushi swore that she would definitely get back what she lost from Jiang Qing.
From that day on, Yu Mushi and Jiang Qing seemed to have started a cycle.
Yu Mushi set a trap, Jiang Qing gave in briefly, and then Mina came forward.
Yu Mushi gnashed her teeth in hatred, but she couldn't act rashly. She couldn't let Jiang Qing become a rift between her and Mina.
But even the most patient person will lose control sometimes, especially when Yu Mushi saw Mina's increasingly admiring eyes towards Jiang Qing. Her anger clouded her mind, causing her to lose her mind for a short time.
Yu Mushi took action personally.
She held Jiang Qing's right hand tightly, and her long fingertips pinched Jiang Qing's fair wrist, revealing dotted red marks.
"Tell me, if I break your hand," she leaned closer and softly spat out the poisoned blade, "will you still have time to take the joint entrance exam and pick up a paintbrush?"
Jiang Qing's wandering gaze fell directly on Yu Mushi's face. Her face was pale and her lips moved, but she couldn't say anything.
Yu Mushi glanced from her eyebrows to her eyes. The flame burning there had quietly gone out at some point, leaving only ashes on the ground.
"Jiang Qing, even if Mina comes back, it's too late, isn't it?"
Jiang Qing's eyes lost focus, and his lips trembled, "Let me go."
It was the first time that Yu Mushi saw Jiang Qing so distraught. She glanced at the girl condescendingly and said, "Kneel down and beg me."
Jiang Qing's pupils trembled and he stood there quietly for a long time.
Yu Mushi was not in a hurry either. She watched leisurely, watching her inner torment, struggle, and ups and downs.
So long, perhaps as long as a century.
Jiang Qing lowered her eyes, bent her knees, and there was a crack. That was the sound of her pride shattering to the ground.
She said, "I beg you."
Jiang Qing opened her eyes, with tear marks winding down her face, but she was unaware of it and just opened her eyes wider and wider.
She wants to be sober, and she must stay sober.
Yu Mushi casually threw away the colorful paintings and papers and left with a smile on her face.
The crimson sunset filled the sky, and the afterglow illuminated the paintings scattered on the rooftop.
Jiang Qing stood still for a long time, then reached out to pick up the pictures one by one and wipe off the dust.
At this moment, Yu Mushi looked at Jiang Qing who was already lying at her feet.
She said to her: “Yu Mushi, do you think I don’t feel pain?”
The fire burning in the girl's eyes is so familiar, so familiar that it's frightening.
