Wang Yue is someone who can't sit still. Even if Wan Qiu ignores her during class, she will still secretly pass notes to the students in front and behind her.
After class, Wanqiu became more talkative, so Wang Yue showed her the contents of the notes they were passing.
It's a mess, containing all sorts of things.
Wan Qiu even saw Wang Yue writing jokes on a note.
Although Wan Qiu didn't understand what was so funny about the joke, seeing Wang Yue laughing so hard, Wan Qiu wondered if he should laugh along too.
but……
Because of Wang Yue, Wan Qiu discovered many things that she had never discovered before.
For example, a classmate who is constantly being bullied by other students.
For example, who in the class is dating whom.
For example... among the people Wan Qiu and Fu Zhengyu were with, someone got into a fight with the homeroom teacher.
In the school without Chu Yigui and Li Shuo, Wan Qiu saw many things he had never seen before.
"Is your family particularly rich?" During class, Wang Yue leaned over to Wan Qiu and whispered to her.
“That should be true.” Wan Qiu thought of Chu Yigui’s words and turned his head to reply to Wang Yue in a low voice.
Wang Yue was clearly surprised, but also pleasantly surprised.
"I knew it, your shoes are expensive. At first I wondered if they were fake, but last time I saw a car picking you up to go home."
Wan Qiu nodded. These were all true events, and Wan Qiu did not deny them.
A few days later, Wang Yue suddenly said to Wan Qiu, "Will you be my boyfriend?"
Wan Qiu was copying from the blackboard when he heard those words and suddenly froze.
The pen in my hand fell onto the notebook and slammed to the side.
Wanqiu looked back at Wang Yue in a daze.
"Will it work?"
This was the first time Wanqiu had faced something like this since she had developed a sense of gender.
"Why?" Wan Qiu's concept of boyfriend and girlfriend was vague; she only knew it should be like that of her parents.
“You’re handsome and rich,” Wang Yue said matter-of-factly. “You’re also on good terms with Fu Zhengyu and the others, so you must be really good at fighting.”
Wan Qiu's eyes widened.
"Is this something really amazing?"
"Of course!" Wang Yue leaned closer to Wan Qiu's hand. "Is it okay?"
“But dating now is considered puppy love.” Wan Qiu vividly remembered Jiang Chengfeng’s teaching, “It will affect your studies.”
"Then you can pretend to be my boyfriend? A contractual relationship!"
Not good at saying no, Wan Qiu couldn't find a reason to refuse: "What does a boyfriend need to do?"
Wang Yue said matter-of-factly, "You should do what a boyfriend should do, right?"
However, to Wan Qiu, this answer was as good as nothing at all.
Wan Qiu was in a very conflicted state after receiving such a unique invitation.
"Is it okay?" Wang Yue urged again.
"I...I'll ask my mom and dad," Wan Qiu stammered in response.
"What does this have to do with your parents? Wasn't this your own decision?" Wang Yue asked in a low voice.
"...I don't know how to decide."
"Then you shouldn't ask anymore. I don't want you to be my boyfriend." Wang Yue immediately changed her mind.
Wan Qiu: "???"
Wanqiu was deeply conflicted and distressed.
Wan Qiu had absolutely no idea what Wang Yue was thinking.
Even Wan Qiu couldn't understand why Wang Yue's face turned bright red after she finished speaking, even though she didn't seem very angry.
"I was just saying it casually, so don't be so serious about rejecting me. It's like I really confessed and got rejected."
Wanqiu was completely at a loss.
This request, like some of the things Wang Yue would suddenly come up with, would be forgotten within a minute.
But one day, Wan Qiu, who was playing with Fu Zhengyu in the corridor, was suddenly dragged away by Wang Yue, who came over aggressively.
"What are you doing?" Fu Zhengyu immediately followed Wan Qiu.
Wan Qiu was pulled by Wang Yue until they reached the other end of the corridor.
"Open your dog eyes and look! This is my boyfriend. He's hundreds of times better looking than your ugly, deformed self!" Wang Yue said, pointing at Wan Qiu and addressing the other girl.
"What?!?!?!" Fu Zhengyu screamed in shock.
Wan Qiu stared in shock.
Fu Zhengyu acted decisively, grabbing Wan Qiu and Wang Yue with one hand each and pulling them away.
Wang Yue seemed to be a little afraid of Fu Zhengyu, but she didn't resist.
Once they reached a quiet, secluded corner, Fu Zhengyu said fiercely, "When did you two start dating?"
Wan Qiu looked bewildered: "I didn't."
“No, he doesn’t date young.” Wang Yue said matter-of-factly.
"Then what were you doing just now?" Fu Zhengyu couldn't understand.
“That girl talked badly about me behind my back and spread rumors about me and a boy from Class 14, so I just wanted to provoke her.”
"What nonsense are you spouting? If Brother Li Shuo and Brother Chu find out that I didn't keep an eye on Wan Qiu, I'm really doomed!"
"What brother?" Wang Yue asked, puzzled.
Fu Zhengyu pulled Wan Qiu aside and said to Wang Yue, "Don't interfere in Wan Qiu's affairs. Wan Qiu needs to focus on her studies and try to skip a grade!"
"I was just saying," Wang Yue said, sounding a little aggrieved. "Wan Qiu is a good catch."
"Even if you have good conditions, you can't use Wan Qiu as a target. If you're caught dating too early, you'll be expelled from school, okay?"
"It's my fault, I'm starting to regret it now." Wang Yue blushed again.
"Then don't lead Wanqiu astray." Fu Zhengyu pulled Wanqiu away.
Fu Zhengyu stared longingly at Wan Qiu, who was completely oblivious to the situation from beginning to end, his feelings somewhat complicated.
"Do you like her?" Fu Zhengyu asked.
Wang Yue is a very interesting deskmate.
However, Wan Qiu has now realized that the "like" Fu Zhengyu speaks of is not quite the same as ordinary "like".
"I don't like it," Wan Qiu thought to herself.
“Then stay away from her, she’s acting crazy,” Fu Zhengyu said.
When Wanqiu comes across topics like 'boyfriend' or 'relationship', it seems to have nothing to do with her at all.
Jiang Chengfeng said a lot, but without having experienced it himself, it's difficult for him to understand.
After Chu Yigui gave him a lesson, Wan Qiu suddenly asked, "Yigui, what is the attraction between a boyfriend and girlfriend?"
Chu Yigui had already stood up, but her body froze for a moment.
He turned his head to look at Wan Qiu, who was standing beside his desk looking at him, and asked, "Why did you ask that?"
“My deskmate said she wants me to be her boyfriend,” Wan Qiu said.
Chu Yigui was speechless, her expression subtle: "You can't be in a relationship now."
"I know, I'm just a little curious about what love is," Wan Qiu asked earnestly.
Chu Yigui also wanted to answer Wan Qiu's question, but it was difficult for him.
Chu Yigui has never been in a relationship.
"I guess you'll gradually come to know. When you realize that your feelings for someone are different from your feelings for others, you might be able to understand what love is."
Chu Yigui said this.
He looked somewhat dazed.
This was the first time Wan Qiu had not received a definite answer from Chu Yigui.
Love is something even the intelligent Chu Yigui doesn't know about, so Wan Qiu feels even less likely to know.
But if that's the case, does Wang Yue even know what love is?
Driven by curiosity, Wan Qiu sought out Wang Yue.
Wang Yue was very happy to share with Wan Qiu the novel she had been reading.
When Wanqiu's schoolbag was filled with the heavy novel given to him by Wang Yue, Wanqiu thought that love must be very heavy.
Wan Qiu rarely reads novels; he watches cartoons the most.
However, Wan Qiu has read a considerable number of picture books and famous works, but the content is too obscure.
Wang Yue lent him the book for two days over the weekend. After studying it, Wan Qiu held the thick book and opened the first page.
This was Wanqiu's first real encounter with a novel. It had a beautiful cover and a dramatic plot, gradually building a world and a person's life through words.
"Wanqiu, what is this?" Chu Yigui asked when he saw Wanqiu looking at a book he had never seen before.
Wan Qiu showed the cover to Chu Yigui.
Chu Yigui raised an eyebrow: "Do you like watching these?"
Wan Qiu shook his head: "I don't quite understand it."
"What don't you understand?" Chu Yigui asked, sitting opposite Wan Qiu.
“I don’t quite understand it…” Wan Qiu didn’t really understand the characters’ behavior in the book. “But Wang Yue said it was the ceiling of romance.”
Chu Yigui raised an eyebrow: "So eager to be in a relationship?"
Wan Qiu shook his head.
"Then why is it necessary to know?" Chu Yigui asked.
Wan Qiu looked at the book, his expression somewhat blank: "I just asked Wang Yue if she knew what love was, and she brought me this book."
Chu Yigui understood.
Indeed, many people enjoy reading novels, and Wang Yue is one of them.
It's always a pleasure to recommend your favorite books to others.
Moreover, Wanqiu is the type of person who will definitely read carefully.
Although it was a rather unexpected opportunity, Wanqiu did make new friends in the new class through her own abilities.
Even if... it's okay without him.
Chu Yigui looked at Wan Qiu's profile, which showed a blank expression despite Wan Qiu's careful reading of the novel.
I feel a little disappointed.
Because Wan Qiu would always provide Wang Yue with a lot of information, Wang Yue felt as if he had found a precious book friend.
She loves to cling to Wanqiu even more now.
Wang Yue also taught Wan Qiu how to read online, and then she recommended some of her favorite books to Wan Qiu.
Wanqiu really will watch them all!
Wang Yue really thinks that no matter what kind of boyfriend Wan Qiu is, he's the most wonderful book friend in the world!
Wan Qiu doesn't accept everything, but for some reason, she takes Wang Yue's recommendations very seriously.
In these words, Wan Qiu seems to have truly entered the constructed world and seen another space.
"That's why I said, with your outstanding qualities, you're just like the male lead in a novel!" Wang Yue curled up on her stool and talked to Wan Qiu after class.
Wan Qiu remained silent, carefully checked the answers, and said, "I'm not, I'm stupid."
“You’re not at the bottom of the class, so how can you be stupid?” Wang Yue retorted matter-of-factly.
"...That's not how it is."
If he weren't stupid, he wouldn't have started school so late compared to his peers.
"Come on, let me recommend a few other books for you to take a look at. We can chat after you've finished reading them!"
Wang Yue took out a pen and paper and wrote down several book titles on the paper.
Wan Qiu looked at the book title gradually appearing on the paper, but noticed two somewhat unfamiliar words.
"Why are 'rebirth' and 'transmigration' in parentheses?" Wan Qiu asked curiously, staring at the two words.
"Rebirth means you retain your current memories and return to your past. Transmigrating into a book means you travel into a book that has already been written."
Wan Qiu kept listening to Wang Yue's instructions and looking at those words.
I tried hard to understand it, but the more I looked at it, the more familiar it felt.
Those words.
It was as if the words on those fragments deep in his memory were very similar.
It's like building someone else's life.
As Wang Yue spoke, she suddenly noticed something.
"Anyway, you'll see when you see it; it's very interesting."
Wang Yue gazed longingly at Wan Qiu, anticipating the time they could discuss the plot together.
Wan Qiu nodded blankly and asked, "Are there really people who are reborn or transmigrate into books in reality?"
"How could that be? We're materialists, we don't believe in ghosts or mysticism!" Wang Yue shrugged frankly. "So beautiful love can only be seen in novels, reality is just tsk tsk tsk."
Wan Qiu pursed her lips: "Ghosts do exist."
"If ghosts exist, then there are no bad people in this world; bad people would have been killed by ghosts long ago."
Wan Qiu remained silent, unable to refute Wang Yue's words.
Much later, Wan Qiu said, "Could you recommend a few more rebirth and transmigration novels to read?"
Wang Yue was clearly very pleased that Wan Qiu had taken the initiative to want to read novels, and introduced several to her in succession.
——
Chu Yigui noticed that Wan Qiu had been reading novels all this time.
He seems somewhat addicted.
Although it didn't affect his studies, he became a bit too engrossed in the novel.
“Watching for too long will be bad for your eyes.” Chu Yigui covered Wan Qiu’s eyes from behind. “Entertainment is entertainment, but you also need to pay attention to rest.”
Wan Qiu looked up and put down his phone: "I'm sorry."
"There's nothing to apologize for. Would it feel better to close your eyes for a while?" Chu Yigui asked.
Wanqiu's soft voice should be right.
"Is the novel very good?" Chu Yigui let go of her hand and saw Wan Qiu's beautiful eyes again, which were a little bloodshot from exhaustion.
Wan Qiu said, "It should be very good-looking; Wang Yue likes it very much."
Chu Yigui raised an eyebrow: "Then doesn't brother like it?"
Wan Qiu did not say whether he liked it or not.
"I just want to understand some things," Wan Qiu murmured.
Chu Yigui asked, "Is it love?"
Wan Qiu shook his head.
It's a more complicated matter.
This is something that cannot be told to Chu Yigui immediately.
Chu Yigui seemed to have noticed, but he didn't ask.
Wan Qiu thought that if he figured out what was going on, he could tell Chu Yigui.
In the dead of night, Wan Qiu suddenly opened his eyes and woke up from his sleep.
Slightly getting up, Wanqiu turned on the bedroom lamp.
Wan Qiu opened a notebook that had been secretly hidden under the bed and took out a pen to start writing.
This notebook is already filled with a lot of text, but it's messy and doesn't follow any pattern.
These are words from fragments of memories that Wanqiu has scattered and jumbled together.
Wanqiu once thought these words only contained malice, but because of the novel that Wang Yue recommended to him, Wanqiu had a magical idea.
Could these words actually be part of a book?
Wanqiu tried to piece the text together, but because the text was fragmented, it was difficult for him to put it together.
But it was only when he actually wrote it down that Wanqiu realized he actually remembered so much.
These words were practically a curse upon Chu Yigui.
It was full of malice and mockery.
Perhaps it's because Wanqiu is always thinking, and the more things he thinks of, the more things he remembers.
However, as Wan Qiu wrote more and more, he also realized that these words seemed to be directed at Chu Yigui as well.
Rather, it was the entire Chu family.
Whether it's their parents or their older brothers, everyone is being resented.
Wanqiu stared at the densely written notebook, at a loss.
"You've been reading a lot lately," Wang Yue said, noticing Wan Qiu's browsing history on her phone. "Do you spend all your time reading novels, except when you're at school or sleeping?"
"Yes." Wan Qiu did not deny it.
"Final exams are coming up soon, will that affect your studies?" Wang Yue was still a little worried.
"Probably not. Yi Gui made me take the exam, and I did okay." Wan Qiu pursed her lips.
"Is that so?" Wang Yue didn't think much of it.
Wan Qiu hesitated for a moment, but finally made up her mind and asked, "May I ask you some questions?"
Wan Qiu wouldn't show the notebook directly to Wang Yue.
He subconsciously felt that the contents of the notebook were important.
Wan Qiu ignored the name, recalled the words, and read them aloud.
Wang Yue blinked: "Aren't these all lines from the villains?"
"The villain..." Wan Qiu remembered that it was a character in the book who tripped up the protagonist, bullied the protagonist, and would suffer a terrible fate afterward.
"Villains are just villains who do all sorts of evil, and this is the villain you're talking about," Wang Yue said. "Villains will eventually be finished!"
Suddenly, Wan Qiu raised his head and stared intently at Wang Yue.
Wang Yue was startled by Wan Qiu's glare.
Wan Qiu knew perfectly well who these vicious words came from.
so……
Will he be the one to be abandoned?
When Chu Yigui returned home, he opened the door and saw Wan Qiu standing not far away, watching him.
"What's wrong?" Chu Yigui asked.
However, Wan Qiu suddenly stepped forward and hugged Chu Yigui.
Wanqiu has grown taller.
However, Chu Yigui could still easily hold Wanqiu in his arms.
Although he didn't know what had happened, Chu Yigui was willing to return Wan Yingqiu's embrace at any time.
Wan Qiu vaguely remembered that Chu Yigui had said, "Don't bully him."
Wanqiu didn't understand then, but now Wanqiu does.
"Yi Gui, did you always think I would bully you?" Wan Qiu asked, lifting her head from Chu Yi Gui's embrace.
Chu Yigui did not deny it: "Yes."
"Why?"
"Because I took your place and enjoyed the comfortable life you should have had," Chu Yigui said.
Is this actually a bad thing?
Even now, Wan Qiu stubbornly believes that this is a good thing.
"Anyone would be angry if they were put in a bad situation because of someone else." Chu Yigui led Wan Qiu to the sofa. "Doesn't your brother know that he didn't have a good life before?"
Wanqiu knows.
But there is no real sense of suffering.
So, shouldn't those words actually be considered normal?
"Am I abnormal?" Wan Qiu asked with some doubt.
“There’s no such thing as normal or abnormal.” Chu Yigui smiled and took Wan Qiu’s hand. “I’m really grateful that it was you I met.”
Wanqiu didn't know what to say.
He saw himself reflected in Chu Yigui's eyes.
"I won't bully you," Wan Qiu said earnestly.
“I know,” Chu Yigui replied quietly.
"What if, I mean, what if..." Wan Qiu inexplicably wanted to get to the bottom of things today, "What if I hated you, bullied you, and was mean to others?"
Chu Yigui was stunned.
He couldn't answer the question immediately.
After a moment's thought, Chu Yigui said, "It's a future I can't even imagine."
"Why?" Wan Qiu pressed.
Chu Yigui did not answer Wan Qiu.
As he said.
It is an unimaginable, and unthinkable, future.
——
Wan Qiu didn't know if he had transmigrated into a book, but the more he learned, the more he realized that his memories were not quite normal.
People who die cannot come back to life.
No one carries the memories of their death with them.
However, Wanqiu was quite certain that all his memories before his death were true.
Humans cannot predict the future.
But those words will actually appear.
Wan Qiu spent a very long time recording a whole notebook.
I flipped through the messy pages of my notebooks, trying to read all sorts of novels of the same genre, desperately trying to piece together a complete story.
The more Wanqiu recorded, the more he felt that the content of the book did not match reality.
However, in novels, rebirth and transmigration can both alter the plot.
So, were these malicious words altered?
Wan Qiu felt it was too early to draw conclusions.
However, Wan Qiu found an unexpected piece of information in these words.
When Chu Yigui first terminated her adoption relationship with the Chu family, she did not go to Ran Yongrui's house, but continued to stay in the Chu family as she is now.
But then he returned to Ran Yongrui's home.
The unclear text did not provide a complete account of the events, and Wan Qiu could not recall why Chu Yigui had returned to Ran Yongrui's house.
It's clear that Chu Yigui doesn't like Ran Yongrui.
If these things in his memory are true, then it proves that he transmigrated into the book.
If it's not true... then what is it?
Wanqiu was at a loss, yet wanted to do something.
Finally, he called Huang Hu.
Huang Hu answered quickly, and his business-like tone immediately came through the phone: "Dear customer, this is your reliable uncle who can handle any of your needs. Does our little darling Wanqiu have any troubles she'd like to tell your uncle today?"
Wan Qiu, holding her phone with eager eyes, replied, "I have a problem I'd like to consult about."
"Hahaha." Huang Hu was amused by Wan Qiu's serious answer. "It's alright, Wan Qiu, just say it, Uncle is listening."
Wan Qiu glanced around discreetly to make sure no one was eavesdropping before speaking quietly into his phone.
"It's about Yi Gui. Yi Gui said she doesn't want to go back to Mr. Ran's house."
"Mr. Ran?" Huang Hu was completely confused.
As Huang Hu listened to Wan Qiu recount Mr. Ran's story from beginning to end, his eyebrows rose higher and higher, his face full of mockery: "Looks like someone who wants to reap the rewards."
Wan Qiu: "What fruit?"
"Oh no, what's wrong? Do you want me to help you find out what Mr. Ran is doing?"
"Hmm..." Wan Qiu looked at the words written in the notebook, "It seems like Yi Gui will be bullied."
Chu Yigui didn't want to go back to Ran Yongrui's house, but she went back anyway.
This went against Chu Yigui's wishes.
This is bullying.
Wan Qiu, holding his phone, opened the secret safe in his room, which contained a lot of cash, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I...I have a lot of money, please help me."
Wan Qiu still remembers that Huang Hu wanted to do things for money.
"No problem, Uncle will definitely help Wanqiu solve his troubles."
Huang Hu hung up the phone and ran to find Lu Qinghe.
"This kid is really different from before. Now he's asking for help and even said he'd give money. Hahaha, do you remember what I said when I gave them my business card? A potential future client. Shouldn't you praise me for my investment acumen?"
Lu Qinghe rolled her eyes: "You don't even spare the child's money."
"This is the young master of the Chu family's money, not something we poor folks can pity! I'll definitely be 120% serious about this job!" Huang Hu casually fiddled with his phone.
How serious are you usually?
Huang Hu choked.
Lu Qinghe sat down in the boss's chair and casually said, "Chu Yigui is really unlucky to have such a father. He also has to break away from the Chu family so as not to cause trouble for them."
"Look how outstanding he is. He's the top scorer in the high school entrance exam, good-looking, and hardworking. Who wouldn't want a kid like that?" Huang Hu shrugged.
Lu Qinghe remained noncommittal.
