After staying in the hospital for a whole month, Qiao Chu was finally discharged. After her discharge, at the request of Fu Zhen and Qiao Weimin, she rested at home for a week before going back to school. The two of them are extremely nervous about her now, especially Fu Zhen. He is even more exaggerated than Qiao Weimin and is simply a daddy-like boyfriend.
Qiao Chu's body is now completely fine and has recovered very well. The wound has healed, leaving only an ugly scar with an ugly scab. On the fair skin, it looks like a centipede and is very unsightly. She planned to wait for Ling Lingyi to come back and ask it if it could help her remove the scar. It was really ugly!
However, perhaps because of her previous heart injury, she has been feeling anxious lately, and even fidgety when it’s serious. After telling the doctor, the doctor examined her carefully and said there was nothing wrong with her, so he assured her and comforted her that perhaps the injury was too severe and caused psychological trauma, so he asked her to try to adjust.
She felt it made sense, but this panicky feeling appeared from time to time, making her very uneasy. She always felt like something was going to happen. And the few quick clips that occasionally flashed by were very blurry, and she couldn't catch any clues, which made her particularly concerned. I always feel that this is very important to me.
However, no matter how hard she thought, she had no clue. She felt like she had forgotten something important, but after going through her memory several times, she couldn't find anything she had lost. She thought about it until her head hurt but to no avail, so she had no choice but to give up.
However, this panic feeling has not disappeared...
On a sunny Monday, Qiao Chu returned to her lovely school. Looking at her energetic classmates, she felt like she was reborn.
Her return was also warmly welcomed by her classmates. Although they no longer felt the fear of being dominated when the top student was away, they also had no one to help them solve problems. Moreover, with the recent launch of "The Brain", Qiao Chu's outstanding performance in the show has also made her unprecedented popularity among the student population. She is now like a star in school, and is the focus of attention wherever she goes.
"Xiao Qiao, you are finally back. I have a lot of difficult questions to ask you."
"You welcome Xiao Qiao so much, is it just to ask her a question?"
"How could that be? I miss her too!"
"Yeah, yeah, Xiao Qiao, we all missed you!"
"With a top student in charge, we feel more at ease."
Qiao Chu walked all the way to her seat. People in the classroom came up to her and greeted her. She was very happy to see everyone's smiling faces and kept nodding and smiling at everyone.
"Well, no problem. I'll answer your questions when I have time. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I will answer everything I know until you understand."
"Well, thank you! Xiao Qiao is so nice!"
Qiao Chu sat down with a smile, took out the textbook from her bag and put it on the desk. After so long, she almost forgot what the textbook looked like. She wondered if Ling Lingyi would blame her when he came back?
No, she must make up for the lost time. She must study hard regardless of Ling Lingyi's supervision or not!
At this time, Shen Ling next to him looked apologetic and said weakly: "Xiao Qiao, I'm sorry, I have something going on at home recently, so I haven't been to see you... Now that you can come back to class, you should be fine, right?"
Qiao Chu paused and nodded, "Well, it's okay, it's okay."
“I…” Shen Ling seemed to have something else to say, but in the end, she didn’t say it.
"Let's talk about it during the lunch break."
After Qiao Chu finished speaking, he picked up the textbook and began to study seriously.
During lunch break, after eating, Qiao Chu, Jia Xianxian and Shen Ling took a walk on the playground to digest their food.
The wind in May is the most comfortable, neither scorching hot nor cold, and not even dry, just right and refreshing.
As he walked, Qiao Chu stopped, looked back at Shen Ling who had been silent, and said, "Shen Ling, go away. We are no longer friends from now on."
This sentence shocked the two of them, especially Jia Xianxian. She was confused and asked, "Xiao Qiao, what's wrong with you? Are you okay? Why did you suddenly say such a thing to Shen Ling?"
Shen Ling looked flustered and whispered, "Xiao Qiao, I... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have not visited you, I..." She explained in a panic.
Qiao Chu's expression became more and more indifferent, "Chen Ling, you know what I mean, so don't play dumb anymore. I won't pursue this matter, but our friendship is gone, and from now on, we are strangers."
Jia Xianxian saw Qiao Chu's attitude and didn't seem to be joking. Although she didn't know the reason, as Qiao Chu's best friend, she believed that she wouldn't make trouble for no reason. She asked: "Xiao Qiao, what happened? What did Shen Ling do?"
Seeing Jia Xianxian's puzzled expression, Qiao Chu explained, "She was bribed by Chen Ziyan and was secretly monitoring me, reporting every move of mine to Chen Ziyan in great detail."
When Fu Zhen told her, she couldn't believe it. In her eyes, Shen Ling had always been an introverted, quiet, but simple and honest girl. Unexpectedly, this seemingly harmless friend was secretly betraying her friends.
"What?" Jia Xianxian couldn't believe it at first, then turned to look at Shen Ling with an angry face, "How could you do such a thing? We are good friends, Xiao Qiao and I have always cared about you and treated you so well, how could you..." She was so angry that she couldn't speak.
“I…” Shen Ling’s face was pale, her lips were trembling, and she felt extremely embarrassed and ashamed. She was also confused for a moment. When Chen Ziyan found her and promised to pay for all her college expenses and help her leave that hellish home, she couldn't resist the temptation and did something stupid.
For a girl from a family like hers, studying is the only way out. Only by studying can she have a promising future and escape from her mean and vicious stepmother and her cowardly and indifferent father. However, they would definitely not be so kind as to spend money to support her education. After graduating from high school, she would not be able to go to school. Even if she studied well and was admitted to a good university, she would not be able to study there. Chen Ziyan's conditions were too tempting for her and she couldn't resist. Moreover, she only asked her to report Qiao Chu's daily schedule, how many times she met with Fu Zhen, what they talked about, etc. She thought these were just some trivial matters...
It was not until Qiao Chu was seriously injured and hospitalized that she felt regret and fear. She didn't know how much she had contributed to Qiao Chu becoming like that. She just felt full of regret, but it was too late to regret... After knowing that Qiao Chu was fine, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. She had always felt guilty and did not dare to face Qiao Chu, so she did not dare to go to the hospital to visit him.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Chu knew everything she did...
She felt ashamed.
"sorry……"
"Bah..." Jia Xianxian spat with disdain, "What's the point of saying sorry now? Did you know that Chen Ziyan almost killed Xiao Qiao? I didn't expect that you were involved in this! You are so ungrateful! You even betrayed your friends. You are so crazy!"
After saying that, she rubbed her hands vigorously on her clothes. Thinking of how she had just been holding hands intimately with this man, she felt nauseous.
Seeing her disgusted expression, Shen Ling's face collapsed. She was greatly hit. She suddenly clenched her fists and yelled at the two of them: "Yes, I am ungrateful and I am crazy! But, ask yourselves, do you really regard me as a friend? Have you really cared about my feelings? You are both favored by heaven, blessed by nature. One is a rich girl with no worries about food and clothing, and the other is a school beauty who is loved by everyone. What am I? I am just an ugly duckling with you. My only role is to set off you white swans! Do I want this? I was born in such a family. Who can feel my pain? I have to fight hard for everything I want!"
She screamed with all her might. She had always spoken softly and had never spoken so loudly before, so much so that her voice broke at the end.
"You are so shameless!" Jia Xianxian scolded angrily, "You obviously did something shameful, but you still blame it on others. Our previous relationship is in vain!" After she finished speaking, she pulled Qiao Chu to leave, "Xiao Qiao, let's go. Don't waste your breath with this kind of person. She is hopeless."
Qiao Chu patted her hands, calmed her down, and then walked to Chen Ling. "Chen Ling, you know, Xianxian and I really treated you as a good friend. We cared about you from the bottom of our hearts. We didn't ignore you, let alone look down on you. Your feelings are just due to your inferiority complex. You have fallen into the abyss you have woven. This abyss is too deep, making you feel that everything around you is dark."
She looked at Shen Ling in front of her, and felt as if she saw her former self. She had also fallen into this kind of inferiority. Her excessive ordinariness made her like a transparent person. She had been drowned in the crowd since she was a child. She had also been confused and lost, but she walked out.
"Chen Ling, your family is indeed unfortunate. Such a family is destined to bring you a lot of hardships. When Xianxian is worried about losing weight every day, you have to worry about whether you will have the next meal. When I worry about not having enough time to study every day, you have to bear the housework. This is really painful for a teenage girl. However, these pains are definitely not a reason for you to sell your friends for glory. The hardships you are experiencing now are just because you are not strong enough, so why not do something to make yourself stronger? Only when you become strong can you dominate your own life! Throughout the ages, many people have experienced more painful hardships than you, and many of them have succeeded, haven't they? When you are strong enough and go far enough, one day, you look back and your so-called hardships and setbacks are just a small ditch on your life path. One day, when you talk about these past events, you just smile and think they are insignificant."
She used to feel inferior because of her ordinariness. After her rebirth, with the God of Study system, she slowly got rid of her ordinariness and gradually got better. However, the shadow of inferiority still did not disappear, because she always felt that she became more and more beautiful and more and more outstanding, all thanks to the God of Study system. Without the system, she would still be useless.
Until she was shot, she accidentally returned to her previous life. At that time, she had no system, no photographic memory, no extraordinary IQ, she was just an ordinary person. However, she still relied on her own efforts to make herself more and more outstanding, and even reached the top of the world. At that time, she truly realized that, in fact... she was the most powerful!
“Chen Ling, as a former friend, these are my last words to you. I hope you can figure it out. I hope that one day, you can get rid of the shadows and truly stand in the sun.”
After saying that, she and Jia Xianxian turned around and left without hesitation.
Shen Ling looked at their backs, her legs went weak, she knelt down dejectedly, tears streaming down her face...
