Chapter 31 Chapter 31 The future is promising
"Do you really think Jiang Changjia treats you as a friend? In the eyes of that group of people, you are just a plaything for their temporary entertainment. Everyone knows that the best friend of the eldest daughter of the Jiang family is the school bully of Nanfu and the current top student of No. 8 Middle School, Yin Shu." Li Ling pulled Xu Sui's hair and forced him to look up at her.
Try to oppress and attack them mentally as well.
"Oh, I heard you have a good friend named Xu Zhiyao. Do you think you're her only good friend? It's said her social circle isn't as narrow as yours. Does she really consider you a friend? For example, why wasn't she with you this time?"
Li Ling asked slowly, looking into Xu Sui's eyes, and used one hand to roughly press the broken wound on her face. In Xu Sui's eyes, her smile was like a devil in the dark night.
There was a smell of cheap perfume on her body, which made people want to vomit when they inhaled it. Xu Sui endured it and waited for this one-sided bullying to end.
She turned her head away and didn't look at Li Ling. He had a good appearance, but his methods were really chilling. When she glanced at Xu Sui, she suddenly stopped, her pupils suddenly contracted, and she didn't dare to make any big movements.
"Li Ling, hurry up, the release is almost over." The girl with loose brown hair looked at the watch on her wrist and reminded. She had a good figure and leaned against the wall with her arms folded. From the moment she came in until now, she only glanced at Xu Sui.
"I understand." Li Ling turned her head to look at the two girls behind her and signaled with her eyes.
"Just carve a mark, it won't hurt." She released her hands that were pulling Xu Sui's hair. The moment she released them, two girls came over and took her place, restraining Xu Sui and preventing her from moving.
What's the meaning.
As soon as Li Ling said this, Xu Sui began to sweat coldly on his forehead, especially when he saw the sharp weapon in her hand that was shining with cold light, his hair stood on end and cold sweat began to appear on his back. Why hasn't she come yet?
Xu Sui was counting in his mind.
Li Ling approached her and asked, "What word should I carve? 'Jian' or 'Tea'?" Seeing the sweat on Xu Sui's forehead, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, carve it on the back of your neck. Your hair will cover it, so no one will see it."
Xu Sui closed his eyes and began to listen carefully, and heard faint footsteps.

There were three knocks on the door, and Xu Sui's frown relaxed, and his tense body began to relax.
"Who?" Li Ling was very unhappy about being interrupted. He put down the sharp weapon in his hand, made eye contact with the girl standing against the wall, walked over to Xu Sui and patted her face. With a bit of disgust, he wiped the blood on her school uniform, and then pulled her rubber band.
The hair is scattered.
"Just follow us and don't talk, understand?"
Xu Sui nodded slowly.
"It should be the group of athletes who were training who have returned." Li Ling said.
Then open the door.
Along with the slender and powerful figure came Yu Jinglian's voice, a very bright and clear timbre: "Why did you take so long to open the door? What the hell are you doing hiding in there?"
She was dressed the same as last time, in a black training suit that revealed her slender wheat-colored waist. Following behind her were a few boys in school uniforms, all of whom looked pretty good.
"Sorry, sorry, I was delayed by something."
A girl in the group politely apologized, but Yu Jinglian didn't intend to make a fuss. She just wanted to quickly change out of her training clothes and go to the school gate to buy something. She waved her hand and said, "Hurry up and get out. This is our locker room. You're coming here for a heavy meal."
After that, she asked the boys behind her to make way for them.
Xu Sui walked slowly behind a group of people, her hand held tightly by someone. When everyone was busy moving forward and not noticing her, she quickly rushed over to Yu Jinglian, grabbed her hand, and said quickly, "Jinglian, I was just about to look for you, but Zhiyao said he had something to ask you."
Yu Jinglian was about to throw someone over her shoulder when she saw him suddenly rushing towards her, but she stopped dead in her tracks when she saw Xu Sui's face. She reacted instantly after hearing Xu Sui's words, and smiled as she took over the conversation. She said to the unfriendly girls, "I almost didn't see you just now. You too, for not calling me earlier."
"Do you know each other?" Li Ling looked at the two of them. It didn't look like they knew each other.
"I know them. Our class played against them in the last basketball game. We've known each other for a long time." Yu Jinglian said without changing her expression.
By this time she had already figured it out in her mind. If a real fight came to a head, she might not lose, but she didn't want to cause trouble, so she would act and get away with it. She wouldn't go to the disciplinary office, and she could also do a favor.
This is her way of survival.
Li Ling was about to say something when He Wen pulled her arm. The girl pushed a strand of brown hair behind her ear. Her dark eyes lingered on the two girls in front of her for a moment before she smiled faintly: "Then we'll be leaving first. Sui Sui, see you next time."
Then she pulled Li Ling's arm back with a little force and said, "Let's go." Her voice was cold.
Li Ling started to struggle after walking a few hundred meters.
"It's obvious what they said was false, why are you leaving?" Li Ling used some strength to break free from the girl's veiny hands, lifted up the collar of his school uniform, and asked in confusion.
"Do you think I don't know or she doesn't know? But do you think you have the ability to take her away under such circumstances? Not to mention now." He Wen pointed to the square between the teaching buildings with her hand wearing light-colored manicure. At this moment, nearly half of the students began to return to school.
"If you want to die, please drag me into this when I'm not around. You know the consequences." She smiled gently, raised her long eyelashes and looked at the surging crowd.
"I understand, senior sister." Li Ling lowered her head, a little disappointed.
**
After the people left, Yu Jinglian took a closer look at the girl in front of her, and only then did she realize that this girl was really patient.
The originally fair face was in a mess, with dust, blood, wall dust, and sweat covering the entire face.
Just as she was about to speak, a thin voice spoke first. The voice was weak but powerful, with five parts of determination and five parts of pleading.
"Can you take a picture for me? One with a time watermark. If it's taken away, I'll give you an identical one." Xu Sui spoke quickly but clearly.
Yu Jinglian was a little stunned. She frowned and turned to the boys behind her and said, "You go back to the classroom first. You don't have to wait for me."
After everyone left, she pulled Xu Sui's clothes into the dressing room and asked, "Are you going to make a big scene?"
Xu Sui's eyes flashed with confusion, and he frowned slightly and asked her: "Shouldn't it be right? I didn't make a fuss."
She was the complete victim in today's farce, and her face felt a little painful.
"It's useless to report it to the Discipline Department. These are just people with connections..." Yu Jinglian paused, but couldn't help but mention it. After all, this girl looked nice and pretty.
Xu Sui shook her head and turned to leave, but Yu Jinglian grabbed her wrist and said, "I'll take the picture."
She knew Xu Sui was collecting the first evidence, so she took out her cell phone from the pocket of a piece of clothing in the dressing room. While taking pictures, she saw the wounds hidden in the dark.
For example, the hair stuck together by blood has turned into scabs, the red and swollen back of the head, the back of the neck scratched by nails, and the dark blue arms that have drooped down.
Her expression also changed from nonchalant to serious. She first took a full-body photo, and then left a mark on each wound.
"You can take the phone. It's my spare one. It doesn't matter if it's taken away. Anyway, you don't have to look for me anymore." Yu Jinglian spoke to Xu Sui in a flat tone. She had been involved in too many things today and it was troublesome.
Xu Sui thanked him softly and said sorry before leaving.
She kept her head down, not wanting others to see her wound. After arriving in the classroom, she found a mask to cover it. Then, she took out a phone card from the drawer and went to the public phone at the corner of the corridor.
When she turned right from the stairs and entered the connecting corridor, a group of boys came up from the second floor.
"Is that Miss Xu?" Xie Zhuoyuan was the first to see Xu Sui leaning against the white wall waiting in line to make a phone call. Her back looked a little lonely.
"It seems to be Sister Sui'er. She seems to be in a bad mood." Zhou Shi took over the conversation.
When Song Shiyang heard this, he paused and glanced at Zhou Shi.
"How do you know?" Jiang Song asked casually while holding a Shang Hao Jia lollipop in his mouth.
"Hey, isn't this simple? Little girls usually call to seek comfort from their parents or to chat with their partners who live in other places. Do you think our 18-year-old girl has a partner? She must be looking for a family member, and the midterm results have just come out, right?" Zhou Shi nodded as he spoke, very satisfied with his analysis.
After saying that, he ran to Song Shiyang and asked, "Isn't that right, Brother Yang?" He looked quite funny.
Song Shiyang sighed softly, turned his head and chuckled, saying, "There's nothing wrong with it logically." Then he and Jiang Song entered the classroom one after the other, implying that it was not clear whether there was actually a problem.
When it was Xu Sui's turn, there was no one behind her. The first thing she asked after she called her grandfather was: "Will my joining the first class take up someone else's place?"
The stubborn old man opposite was a little unhappy when he heard her tone, and even more unhappy when he heard these words, "What's wrong?"
He asked on the other end.
Xu Sui didn't have time to argue with him right now, so he repeated it again, his tone stiff and a bit forceful: "Just tell me whether you have it or not."
"Of course not. I have been in politics for so many years, and I still have this moral character, okay?" Zhou Xianzhi replied.
Although it was an expected answer, Xu Sui still felt relieved when he heard it. His tense shoulders relaxed, and he said word by word to his grandfather on the other end with a clenched jaw: "Grandpa, thank you for taking the trouble to come to school. I encountered school violence. I just called the police and asked for the guardian to come to the scene."
After she finished speaking in one breath, she quickly hung up the phone and swiped her card again. Her hands were shaking when she pressed the three digits 110, and her heart was about to jump out of her chest. Xu Sui closed her eyes to calm her chaotic heartbeat and ensure that her logic would flow smoothly later.
Execute first and report later.
The school’s general attitude towards such matters is definitely to settle privately. If, as Yu Jinglian said, it does not only fail to solve the problem, it will only aggravate its own troubles. It must be eradicated.
In 2014, cases of school bullying and violence emerged one after another, disrupting social morals. The government cracked down on them severely and vowed to protect the rights and interests of students. Therefore, calling the police is the best option, and the school dared not do anything in public.
After explaining the facts and telling the location, Xu Sui felt that he was on the verge of collapse. He moved back to the classroom step by step. It was 6:55 and class was only a few minutes away.
Zhao Jianhua would come to see her soon. She sniffed and finally took the time to relax her tense mood.
The moment she took a breath, a boy in a white short-sleeved school uniform happened to pass by her desk and accidentally touched her desk. He leaned his hand on the corner of Xu Sui's desk and waited for the person next to him to pass by. When he lowered his head to pull the desk back, he suddenly met the pair of slightly red and swollen eyes.
Song Shiyang was stunned, his mind couldn't catch up with his words.
"You're crying? Why? Your grades?"
After three questions, Xu Sui didn't know why, but when she heard his voice, her eyes, which had been tearless, suddenly became moist. She lifted her mask and the moisture slid into the mask fabric, and no one saw it.
She was completely unable to speak and could only nod and shake her head.
Song Shiyang was puzzled and looked at her with a frown. The classroom was very noisy because the class had just ended. The sound of talking, chasing and laughing filled the entire room.
Xu Sui suddenly felt a sense of desolation that the excitement was all theirs and had nothing to do with her. When the boy's white clothes were about to slip past her eyes, she suddenly asked a question without thinking. Her voice was not loud and she disappeared in the crowd as soon as it came out.
She said: "Do you think I will have a bright future?"
She was undoubtedly afraid. She was afraid that the other party was so powerful that the police could not solve the problem. She was afraid that her grandparents would not protect her, or could not protect her. She was afraid that the problem could not be solved and would leave endless troubles. She was also afraid that her grades would plummet and she would never recover.
There was no talk for a long time, and Xu Sui thought he didn't hear her. Just as she bent down to prepare to do the question, she heard a voice coming from behind. Every word was clear, steady, firm, and assertive.
It became a firefly in countless dark nights for Xu Sui, shining for many years.
"Of course there will be. We all have a bright future and the future is full of promise."
