Chapter 24 Chapter 24 I will climb to the top of the mountain and look down on all the other mountains...
2013/11/5
“When I reach the summit, I will see all the other mountains as small.”
——Xu Renren's Diary
What Xu Sui said was not wrong. She didn't even have a mobile phone at the moment, let alone a Penguin account or something like that.
But the people around her clearly didn't believe it, thinking it was her way of rejecting someone. The tanned boy arched his brow and smiled, then naturally put his phone back in his pocket. He wiped his brow with his thumb and chuckled, saying, "Oh, that's it? What a shame. Sorry to bother you."
Then he turned around and walked towards his friends around him without any embarrassment or helplessness of being rejected.
As soon as he returned to the crowd, several boys and girls came up to talk to him, and he smiled and continued their conversation.
Xu Sui watched their backs gradually walking away until they turned a corner and disappeared.
Jiang Changjia came over, poked Xu Sui and said, "Why do I feel like those people look a little familiar to me? Don't you think so?"
Xu Sui searched his mind for a moment and shook his head: "I don't remember."
"I guess I've seen it somewhere else." Jiang Changjia frowned, thought about it for a while but couldn't figure it out, so he simply put it behind his mind and stopped thinking about it.
"It's our turn now, let's go in." The light gray figure leaning against the counter raised his head and squinted at the large screen above the waiting area and said slowly.
Before Xu Sui could react, a figure flashed past her eyes, bringing with it a familiar scent, the same scent as the dress he gave her that hot summer day.
Xu Sui rubbed his nose and couldn't help wondering what brand of laundry detergent this was. It smelled strange.
Song Shiyang walked in front, with all the tickets in his hands. After checking, everyone went in together.
"When are we going to give him the money?" Xu Sui and Jiang Changjia asked in a low voice as they walked side by side through the dark corridor.
"For whom?" Jiang Changjia accidentally stepped on something on the way, and hurriedly moved closer to Xu Sui, patted his chest lightly, turned his head and asked.
"It's...Song Shiyang." Xu Sui pointed at the figure next to Jiang Song not far away and said softly.
Jiang Changjia looked at her in surprise when he heard her words, tilted his head and said to Xu Sui: "No need, we are all friends, he doesn't need this little money, he won't accept it even if you give it to him."
Every time they go out to play, the money is paid randomly, whoever is convenient gives it. Except for personal items and the like, the money for these group activities is paid randomly.
You pay today, I pay tomorrow, and he pays the day after tomorrow.
If the amount is large, split it up.
Xu Sui paused, feeling slightly uncomfortable, and couldn't help pinching her palm. Are she and them friends?

The script-based murder story of "Death in White" tells the story of a murder that occurred in a hospital in Detroit. The horror level is moderate, and the difficulty lies in reasoning and finding the murderer.
In the dimly lit room, an NPC in a white coat fell in a pool of blood of unknown disguise, and the old medical equipment around him made an unknown ticking sound.
The surroundings were unclear, and as the group entered the empty room, a hoarse voice came from somewhere.
"Act One: The crime occurs. Lying on the ground is the hospital's most renowned doctor, Dr. Hans. The murderer is among you. Please draw your character cards. The game begins. Good luck to you all."
Then there was no sound.
"That's it? Where is the character stuck?" Xie Zhuoyuan walked up to the NPC and took a closer look, kicking his fingers.
The NPC moved after being kicked, and then grabbed his ankle, feeling it and saying, "On the operating table inside."
Then release it.
"Fuck!" The NPC's hand was still wet, and the touch made Xie Zhuoyuan's hair stand on end. He ran behind Song Shiyang and said in a low voice: "Fuck, the NPC is so unprofessional. You can't touch a dead person!!"
Xu Sui and Jiang Changjia were also frightened by the sudden sound, but Jiang Changjia quickly walked in front of Xu Sui and said to Xie Zhuoyuan: "Little Zhuoyuan, if you are scared, I will let you hug my thighs! Song Shiyang will not let you hug me!"
This was what Xie Zhuoyuan had said to her outside when he was teasing her before he fought back.
Everyone laughed.
"Okay, let's go in and draw the character cards." said the tall and thin boy who asked them what they were playing at the beginning.
Xu Sui was chosen to be a hospital intern, with few roles and not being the murderer. Jiang Song, who played the robber, picked up the assigned toy gun and pretended to hijack the head nurse played by Jiang Changjia.
He said viciously: "Don't move, or I'll call the police and kill you!"
Xu Sui felt that Jiang Song was acting in his true self and there was no sense of incongruity at all, but Jiang Changjia felt a little aggrieved because her next line was to "tremble" and beg for mercy from the kidnappers.
The words circled around in his mouth a few times before coming out stiffly: "Don't kill me, someone died here, I just want to call the police."
Someone laughed out loud.
This triggered a burst of trembling laughter.
"Let's continue with the plot." Bai Ruoxing stopped them appropriately. The character card she drew was the wife of the dead doctor.
There are four rounds of scenes to go through, and this room is connected to other places. The group groped around looking for clues.
Xu Sui and Jiang Changjia walked into a very dark room. Jiang Changjia held Xu Sui's arm tightly and said in a trembling voice, "I'm really scared. What should I do? Why is there no light? Look over there, over there, is there someone over there?!!"
"Don't make noise, it's me." A low voice sounded in this small space. Xu Sui raised his eyes and looked at the place where Jiang Changjia pointed, and a figure appeared.
The boy lowered his eyes and fiddled with a wooden box in his hand. When he heard their movements, he raised his eyelids and seemed to close them again.
"Song Shiyang, why are you here alone? Where are the others? Don't you want to form a group?" Jiang Changjia pulled Xu Sui over.
Xu Sui also walked closer with some doubts.
"You seem to talk a lot more than before." Song Shiyang suddenly glanced at Jiang Changjia and said casually.
Jiang Changjia choked and wanted to refute when he heard a female voice coming from another place: "Changjia." It was a greeting with a polite smile. Xu Sui turned around to look.
I saw Bai Ruoxing with messy hair. It turned out that she was here too, but she was in a blind spot, so Xu Sui and Jiang Changjia didn't see her just now.
So they were alone here just now...
Why is Jiang Song, who has always followed Song Shiyang, not here?
Jiang Changjia's face darkened when he saw her, but he still said hello to her. He wanted to take Xu Sui away when he heard Bai Ruoxing say to them, "Shi Yang, Changjia, won't you introduce this young lady to me? Otherwise, I won't even know her name. How rude."
She smiled softly, and although she called out two names, she was actually looking at Song Shiyang.
Xu Sui looked up and saw the subtle atmosphere between them, and a wave of sadness suddenly welled up in his heart.
He and I have been close friends for a long time, and you are just a passerby who occasionally appears when I am not with him.
"Xu Sui, Peng..." Song Shiyang's eyes fell on the combination lock of the box. With a "click", he was interrupted by a female voice in the middle of his words.
"Classmate..." Xu Sui spoke the moment Song Shiyang finished speaking. The girl's voice was very nice, with the cleanliness of winter ice and snow and the softness of spring.
Song Shiyang's hand that was taking out something paused, and then the thing inside was taken out.
"Let's go, the last round of performance is about to begin." He held the thing tightly in his hand. The space was closed and it was probably a little hot. He pulled up the sleeves of his sweatshirt and walked out with his head down.
A round of interpretation is over.
"Please choose who you think is the murderer." The radio announced.
Everyone took a piece of paper and wrote down the name of the person they thought of. Xu Sui was sitting next to him. She wrote very quickly. After she finished, she looked up at everyone and saw the character name written on the paper by Song Shiyang next to her.
Her already large eyes grew even larger, and she quickly averted her gaze for fear of being noticed by him.
no.
Why would anyone vote for me?
Xu Sui didn't understand the reason until the results came out, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
"I told you I'm not the murderer, but you didn't believe me. You were all fooled by that kid." The tall, thin boy with very fair skin sighed helplessly, looking at Song Shiyang not far away and said, "You win."
The whole audience was in an uproar.
"Damn, damn, you're so good at pretending." Xie Zhuoyuan, who was originally far away, suddenly came over and circled around Song Shiyang. In the end, he was held down by his head: "Stop turning, I feel dizzy."
"I have doubted myself, but I have never doubted you...brother." Jiang Song rubbed his face and sighed.
"I've already told you that this guy is good at pretending, even in normal times." Jiang Changjia began to mock him secretly again.
Bai Ruoxing, on the other hand, pursed her lips and looked at the young man with a smile without saying a word. Her eyes were so bright that her usual sisterly feeling was much weakened.
Xu Sui closed his eyes and said nothing, sighing at this man's actions. It seemed that he was sure that he would win, right?

The monthly holiday lasted for three days. On the morning of the 5th, all the students returned to school. Xu Sui happened to meet Xu Zhiyao at the door, and the two of them walked towards the teaching building while eating buns.
Halfway through the walk, they saw a lot of people gathered together talking. It was still early for class, so they decided to go and take a look.
There were a lot of people and the place was really narrow, so it took me half a day to squeeze in.
"Sui Sui Sui Sui, it's you!" Xu Zhiyao suddenly grabbed Xu Sui's arm and said excitedly. Xu Sui was startled by her before he could even catch his breath and almost got a stitch in the side.
Xu Sui didn't know why the first person he saw when he looked up was not himself, but Song Shiyang next to him.
Song Shiyang scored 148 points in mathematics
Above the text is a photo of the protagonist, a color version of the photo that Xu Sui saw in the examination room of Nanjing Affiliated High School.
Black hair, white clothes, and rich complexion.
Everything fits the adolescent girl's fantasy of her sweetheart. Looking around, he is also the first in several subjects, and people around him are constantly discussing him.
The first thing she saw was the one with the first place in individual subjects. Perhaps it was arranged in the order of the main subjects of Chinese, mathematics and English. In fact, there was more than one Xu Sui who was first in English, but for some reason, she was ranked first, next to Song Shiyang.
Xu Sui closed his eyes, then opened them again, and whispered to himself, "Hold steady, don't jump around, it's embarrassing."
But I am so happy.
Going up further up are the top 50 students in the grade, and the photos of the top three are enlarged again and again, and any facial defects will be exposed here.
As she left, her gaze drifted to the small words beneath his photo. Written in neat black font were the words: "I will climb to the summit, and see all the other mountains below me."
As spirited as he is in the photo.
