Chapter 4 The Weird Freak The next day, Lin Xicai came to school very early,...
The next day, Lin Xicai came to school very early, carrying a lot of bags in her arms. The various colorful and exquisite stationery were very eye-catching.
The class started at 8 o'clock, so Lin Xicai went there early on purpose and arrived at 7:30.
Lin Xicai sat in her seat, took out the things she had bought one by one, and packed them up with a clatter.
——She has to study hard in the future. Lin Xicai feels that she needs to create a learning atmosphere for herself.
She spread a brightly colored, warm and harmonious anime-style landscape poster flat on the table, smoothed it carefully, and fixed it with transparent tape. The poster was just the right size to cover the tabletop.
Then, she took out those colorful and exquisitely designed stationery from the bag and neatly stacked them one by one on it.
A book stand in the shape of a white rabbit stands the textbook on the table, next to it is a milky white straw water cup and a light pink pen holder.
There are no less than ten pens in the pen holder, each with a different shape and color, as if they were rushed out from the supermarket to participate in a talent show.
After some pious manipulation, the originally gray desk looked brand new. Lin Xicai frowned and looked at it, but still felt it was not enough. He touched his pocket and took out a few stickers to stick them left and right.
By the time the first bell rang, Lin Xicai had successfully transformed her desk into a... Christmas tree.
When Xie Shi arrived late with his backpack, his seat was already surrounded by a crowd of people. The attacker was surrounded by a group of girls. With his eyes curved, he looked up and chatted with the girls, seeming to enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by stars.
A group of people were chattering, and the frequency of their chattering caused a pain in his forehead, and Xie Shi frowned slightly.
"You are too luxurious!"
“It’s really beautiful.”
"It's so beautiful, can I take a picture?"
“Where did you buy these? Please share the link!”
…
Xie Shi frowned as he walked over. When his eyes caught sight of the extravagant thing that looked like a sedan chair, his handsome and sharp features twitched slightly.
The visual impact was so strong that for a moment he even ignored the sudden onset of a migraine.
In the moment of distraction, the girls who had been surrounding his seat noticed him, their faces changed in an instant, and they scattered as if they were avoiding the plague.
The classroom, which was originally noisy, once again became silent, quiet and lifeless as if the mute button was pressed.
Xie Shi showed no expression, as he was already used to it, and walked straight towards his seat.
He stared at the attacker, watching the relaxation disappear from her face and her whole person become alert and cautious.
Before he reached her, she had already stood up and made room for him, looking quite harmless.
She disguised herself very well and almost fooled him. However, just as he passed by her, a soft but harsh voice came from his heart -
"I wish my crazy deskmate would be kind enough to get sick. It would be best if he could take a year or two off..."
Xie Shi glanced at her coldly, a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his lips, and there was no warmth in his eyes.
Lin Xicai knew nothing about this. After the man sat down beside her, she sighed deeply in her heart and added: Or it could be a broken bone. She can rest and recuperate at home and not come to school often...
While she was thinking, the gaze beside her remained fixed on her for a long time, damp and sticky, like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue.
The presence of that gaze was too strong. Lin Xicai lowered her head, but had the illusion that she was being seen through.
Just then, the bell for the first class suddenly rang. Lin Xicai took a deep breath and tried her best to ignore that gaze - the learning environment had been created, and from this moment on, she had to study hard.
Starting from scratch, she is not stupid, so why can't she learn?
If she works hard now, when she completes her mission and returns to real life, she will not only have a healthy body, but her grades will also soar. Then her life will enter a new stage.
Lin Xicai's mood suddenly became good. Her slender white fingers slid through the bookends and picked out a beautiful notebook.
He carefully unfolded the notebook with a light green cover in front of him. He fiddled with the pen holder with his fingers, and after some selection, he picked out a pen that was the same color as the notebook cover.
Lin Xicai was content, sitting upright, looking intently at the physics teacher who had arrived late at the door. She took a deep breath, a smile on her face, her attitude toward learning devoutly stiff.
The young physics teacher walked up to the podium, textbook in hand, and opened the book with familiarity. "Okay, class is over, students. This lesson will continue with the movement of particles in a magnetic field..."
Because there was an evil spirit shaking the place below, the audience was quiet and only the slightly flat voice of the physics teacher echoed in the classroom.
Lin Xicai stared at the blackboard with an extremely determined expression in the first 8 minutes of the class.
"This question is not difficult. Stretch out your left hand. The magnetic field lines pass vertically through your palm..."
Ten minutes into the class, Lin Xicai's resolute eyes began to become dazed.
"Next, let's look at this. This particle enters the magnetic field vertically..."
12 minutes into the class, Lin Xicai's eyes gradually became dull and fixed.
"This problem's period shouldn't be hard to find, just use the formula..."
Fifteen minutes into the class, Lin Xicai's chin was already dropping down on the table. The hand holding the pen was loose, the pen on the fingertips was shaky, and there were several scratches where the pen tip met the paper.
…….
At the 18th minute of the class, there was a person sleeping soundly in the audience.
A beautiful notebook lay open on the table, a small face pressed against it, saliva staining the yellowed paper where the corners of its lips met the paper...
Xie Shi: “…”
Lin Xicai slept in a hazy state, but she was not at peace. Her delicate brows were furrowed, as if she could still sense being stared at even in her dreams, as if that gaze penetrated her breath, her dreams, and wreaked havoc in her soul...
After an unknown amount of time, a sharp ringing sounded in her ears. Lin Xicai felt as if she had been stabbed by something and suddenly sat up. She was dazed, with a lingering sleepiness in her eyes.
The teacher had already left the classroom, and the students also walked out in twos and threes, some to get water, some to go to the toilet. Lin Xicai stared blankly at the blackboard full of notes, feeling annoyed - did he fall asleep?
How did she fall asleep?
How did she fall asleep?
Lin Xicai felt an unprecedented sense of guilt and wanted to cry. Why was she so...
"Zhong Fei, we're going to buy some soda, do you want to come with us?"
"Walk!"
Lin Xicai stood up from her seat and quickly caught up with the two girls at the door. The three of them walked out of the classroom in a warm manner.
Xie Shi: “…”
Xie Shi stared at her back, then his eyes fell on the extravagant sedan beside her, his expression extremely complicated.
Lin Xicai went around the supermarket with the two little girls, and when paying, she took the initiative to pay for their soda as well.
After the three of them finished shopping, they walked side by side towards the classroom. Lin Xicai blinked and said casually, "Don't you think our class is so quiet? Even quieter than Class A."
The two girls looked at each other and one of them said, "You don't know why?"
Another one also smiled and couldn't help but teasing, "Are you guys in Class A really that oblivious to what's happening outside?"
"I'm sick, and I've forgotten a lot of things." Lin Xicai took a sip of soda and said, "Is it related to my current deskmate?"
"Don't even mention it," one of the girls said in a tone of indignation, "I'm so unlucky to be in the same class with such a scoundrel."
Plague God?
What kind of plague is it?
Lin Xicai finally got a clue of the answer and calmly asked, "What happened to him? What did he do before?"
"This guy is a bit weird, a weird freak."
The girl paused, looked around, lowered her voice, and drew a circle on the side of his head with her finger. "He has a problem here. He seems to be extremely sensitive to sound and has seizures at the slightest provocation."
"Someone in our class used to be antagonistic to him and deliberately bothered him. You have no idea how terrifying his eyes were at the time. And then, no one knows what happened, but that boy transferred to another school. Someone else ran into that boy later, and whenever he mentioned him, he acted like he'd been haunted, calling him a monster and asking everyone to stay away from him."
"It's not just this one incident. Many similar strange things have happened since then. I'll tell you one more and you'll understand."
The girl lowered her voice. "For example, those two boys sitting behind you right now, Zhu Hongfei and Lu Zixin. Even though they look so timid in front of Xie Shi now, they used to be very troublesome and always caused trouble for him. Until one day during physical education class, something really weird happened."
"It was one afternoon, after gym class, when everyone was free to move around, Xie Shi was sitting in the shade of a tree, lost in thought. Zhu Hongfei and Lu Zixin, probably bored, started talking again, deliberately approaching him and making thoughtless remarks, provoking and angering him in front of everyone."
"Xie Shi didn't always respond to these provocations. Most of the time, he was even restrained. But that day, they went too far. Then, he suddenly looked up at them and said in a very calm voice, 'Do you want to play a game?'"
"Zhu Hongfei and Lu Zixin are just bad mouths. When someone actually paid attention to them, they backed off. But with so many people watching, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask what game it was for the sake of face. Then Xie Shi glanced at them, raised his chin towards the basketball hoop, and said, 'Stand there for five minutes, can you do it?'"
"Everyone present thought Xie Shi would do something big, but he just said this. Not just Zhu Hongfei and the others, but everyone else was a little confused. Standing there for five minutes? What's so impossible? Then those two idiots laughed. Zhu Hongfei told him, 'If we can do this, you should avoid us next time you see us.'"
"Xie Shi's eyes were cold at the time, but he actually smiled—that was the first time we saw him smile. To be honest, he was a bit pretty, but his smile was really, really scary. He smiled and said, 'Okay.'"
"Zhu Hongfei and the others ran to the basketball hoop, laughing and joking. They made a big fuss and asked the sports committee member to time them. Not only did they find a timer, they also asked us all to be witnesses to their bet. Xie Shi didn't say a word the entire time, just playing with a small red ball."
"Then, at a certain moment, the little red ball suddenly fell to the ground. Then came the climax. Almost at the moment the ball hit the ground, the transparent frame of the basketball hoop suddenly exploded, like an explosion! Transparent fragments rained down all over the ground. The incident happened so suddenly that the playground was filled with screams. It was a complete riot. Zhu Hongfei and Lu Zixin, those two idiots, were scared to death. Their faces were covered in blood, and they crawled away. I looked at the watch. It was still five minutes? They hadn't even been standing there for two minutes..."
"Xie Shi himself didn't seem surprised at all. He just stood there, watching the chaos unfold."
"To this day, this matter remains a mystery. No one knows what he did. The school later investigated and ruled out human error, which makes it even more bizarre. How did he know the basketball hoop would malfunction at that time?"
The girl grinned, a look of fear on her face. "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. But, boys are all crazy. After this incident, those two idiots went from being troublemakers to being sycophants. They were so respectful and obedient. The others were the same. Everyone behaved well when they saw him, and no one ever challenged him again."
Lin Xicai listened to the two chattering away, her grip on her soda tightening slightly. Ah, this… Having a crazy classmate who was a pure Prison-type was hard enough to deal with, and now she was told that this pure Prison-type might also know some sorcery? Wasn't that too outrageous?
Lin Xicai shook her head in her heart. As a staunch materialist, she would not easily believe these things. However, the more she understood, the more she could not see through him.
This person is like a black fog, dangerous and unknown.
Although her mission was not him, Lin Xicai had a hunch that she could not avoid this person no matter what.
"Are you scared?" The girl waved her hand in front of her eyes, trying to comfort her. "Although this guy is strange, he rarely takes the initiative to talk to others. Just be quiet and don't provoke him, and you should be fine."
Lin Xicai nodded blankly, as if thinking: This trip did yield some results, at least I collected some life-saving tips.
Quiet.
If she just stayed quiet, she would be fine.
Lin Xicai didn't want to cause trouble. If just being "quiet" could avoid some trouble, then why not?
Lin Xicai was quite confident. She was such a quiet little girl. As long as she stayed silent around him, how could she provoke him?
