After that, no child in the village dared to play with Yancuo anymore. The adults who witnessed all this felt sympathetic and warned their children not to have any contact with her.
Yancuo was truly excluded, but she wasn't upset. She was just used to being alone. She played alone, went to school alone, and pretended to be calm.
She didn't want to make her grandmother worry. Her grandmother was old and shouldn't work so hard for her.
But she gradually became silent, no longer taking the initiative to talk to others, and was as quiet as a transparent person in the class.
This went on for a few years, and aside from feeling a bit lonely, there wasn't anything wrong with it. Yan Cuo had gotten used to having parents who were like strangers in his life.
The arrival of Xu Lin's family was one of the few major events in the village. On an ordinary afternoon, a large group of people suddenly arrived at the village entrance. They drove cars and brought with them many things that were rare in the village at the time. Then, they moved into a villa that had already been built at the entrance of the village. It covered an area of over 300 square meters and was decorated like a castle.
Xu Lin looked like a little prince, wearing a well-fitting suit and a bow tie, and his speech was extremely polite. He quickly won the hearts of the villagers.
Many children came to play with him. His castle-like home had a fatal attraction for the children in the village. Xu Lin was very polite to them, often telling them about some strange things in the city and occasionally giving them some new and interesting gadgets.
Soon, he became the most popular child in the village. Children would often come to him and listen to him talk about things they didn't know, with longing in their eyes.
Are there really only tall buildings in the city? Are there really so many cars?
Xu Lin also enrolled in the primary school closest to the village. The difference was that he was led into the classroom by the principal himself.
The day he entered the classroom, his classmates were all overjoyed to see him, chatting around him. He patiently answered everyone's questions, and was polite and courteous.
Only Yancuo sat in her seat calmly, not saying a word. She had seen that boy before, like a child of destiny, smiling at everyone he saw. She knew he was different from the other children in the village, but she still couldn't like him.
Looking at his smile, it feels so fake and unreal.
Despite being so young, he looks like an adult, with a fake look on his face that shouldn't be there for someone his age.
Xu Lin was arranged to sit behind Yan Cuo. They had never had any contact with each other before, and no one had ever spoken to the other.
One Friday afternoon, the school organized a general cleaning, and Yan Cuo and Xu Lin happened to be assigned to clean the windows together. Yan Cuo was very quiet and wiped with a rag, not paying attention to what he was doing. His eyes fell to a high place, and Yan Cuo couldn't reach it. He was about to move a stool, but he saw that he was already standing on it, wiping with a rag.
Yancuo was a little surprised, but she didn't say anything. She watched him finish wiping the top of the glass and then leave. This time, she felt that this boy didn't seem so pampered anymore, and her opinion of him changed a little, but she still couldn't like him.
When we were young, our emotions would always show up on our faces unconsciously. After meeting each other again and again, Xu Lin seemed to see Yan Cuo's disgust towards him. He felt it was a bit strange. The little boy had never had such an experience since he was a child, so he always wanted to show something more in front of her so that she would change her opinion of him.
Xu Lin's grades were excellent, always ranking first in his grade. Everyone in the class admired him. This boy, with his good family background and excellent grades, won the hearts of all the kids in the class, except, of course, Yan Cuo.
The boy was always very curious. From time to time, he would pay attention to the special girl in the class. She was indifferent to everyone and was always quiet and transparent in the class. He couldn't help but ask others about her, but the answer he got surprised him.
"You're talking about Yan Cuo. She's a ruthless person. I advise you not to play with her. A few years ago, she scared the fat kid in the village and made him cry. They had a fight, and Yan Cuo couldn't win, but she held on to him and refused to let him go. It was only when her grandmother came that she let him go."
Xu Lin was a little surprised: "She also fights? Do you know why she fights?"
The person in the class glanced at Yan Cuo and whispered mysteriously, "I heard that Yan Cuo doesn't have a father or mother, only a grandmother. No one has seen her father or mother in all these years."
Xu Lin fell silent for a moment, looking at the quiet figure, feeling a little shocked. He was so young, yet he had experienced so much.
I couldn't help but feel a strong sense of sympathy in my heart, and I always paid attention to her from time to time, wanting to help her.
Sometimes he would deliberately bring an extra breakfast and put it on Yancuo's desk, but Yancuo never ate it. He just watched the breakfast get colder and colder and finally fell into the trash can.
He was a little discouraged. Occasionally, when he mustered up the courage to talk to her, Yan Cuo always looked cold and indifferent. He was a little discouraged, but the competitive spirit in his heart made him not give up.
He would occasionally follow him home, and watch the little girl carrying a big schoolbag walking home alone, he would follow her from a distance, never getting close.
This girl is like a hedgehog, with thorns all over her body. I don't dare to go up to her, but I still want to be closer to her.
Xu Lin never thought about the reason, he just felt that it was out of curiosity.
After following her for a week, Xu Lin followed the figure in front of him as usual. But in the blink of an eye, she disappeared. He hurried forward to look for her, but couldn't find her.
