Chapter 153: Scene 18 But everything she had was burned to ashes...
"Next, let's invite outstanding student representatives to speak!"
"This year, she has won numerous awards, including first prize in the Global Mathematics Competition, first prize in the Physics Competition, and second prize in the Chemistry Competition. She has also helped improve our city in many areas!"
"She studies hard, strives hard, and contributes to society. She is truly a leader among the younger generation!"
"She is Wanxiang from senior class xxxx!"
“Let’s welcome her with warm applause!!”
“Pah pah pah pah pah pah pah pah pah pah pah!!!”
"Ahem, hello, respected leaders, teachers, and dear classmates, good morning everyone. I'm Wanxiang from Class x, Grade xxxx."
“Thank you all for giving me the opportunity. I am honored to be here and speak today.”
"As a student with not much talent, I was treated as a 'poor student' by my teachers from a very young age."
"But as the saying goes, 'Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% hard work.' While this 1% inspiration is far more important than the 99% hard work, I believe that as long as I keep working at it, one day I can catch up with, or even surpass, those who have inspiration but no hard work."
"So I started studying very hard, listening carefully, completing homework, and taking exams seriously. This made my grades improve dramatically, and I quickly became an upper-middle-class student in the class."
"I'm just an ordinary student like everyone else, juggling home and school. So when I saw my results, my first reaction was surprise and joy, followed by endless anxiety."
"I'm worried that my next test score won't be as good as this one. I'm worried that if I work so hard and still only get this low, does that mean I'm really that bad?"
"But, classmates, as you can see, even though I've won an award and am standing here sharing my learning experience with you, my hands still shake."
"So, what I want to tell you is that you must believe in yourself and believe that you can achieve it, no matter how ambitious your goals and ideals are."
"Anxiety is truly normal, so imagine it bravely, do it bravely, and do your best."
"As Alain de Botton said, 'You ask me how I've progressed? I've become my own friend.'"
“Accept yourself, improve yourself, appreciate yourself, make friends with yourself, become the best version of yourself, and your goals will eventually be achieved.”
"Finally, I wish you all the best and a fruitful new semester!"
"This concludes my speech. Thank you everyone."
"Hey, that's her, the woman who was photographed getting into a luxury car in the chat history you gave me earlier."
"Let me see... Yes, yes, that's her, Wanxiang, the one who walked away from the school gate with an ugly old man a few days ago."
"Oh my god, those awards of hers are probably all fake, right?"
"Who says it's not true? I heard from a senior who took the competition with them that she had her period on the day of the exam and she almost fainted from the pain. If she could really do so well, I don't believe it."
"Really? If it were me, I would have just run away without taking the exam. She is also a talented person."
"Hmph, indeed—"
"you……"
"Are you talking about me?"
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted. Liu Hui turned around and saw a girl with a ponytail and a loose school uniform standing behind her.
She was probably passing by her class's team. How could she have heard these words by such a coincidence?
Then if I ask her for help with my studies in the future, will she still pay attention to me?
"You!? We were just chatting, not talking about you."
"You better be. Otherwise, I'll sue everyone who spreads these rumors."
Liu Hui stood between the three people. When she smelled the smoke, she froze and dared not move.
Something soft was stuffed into her hand.
"Your coat," he looked up and saw Wanxiang, "I checked it and it's not dirty. Thank you."
“!!”
Liu Hui quickly rolled up her school uniform jacket under the gaze of her homeroom teacher, then nodded towards Wan Xiang: "You're welcome. It's only natural for classmates to help each other."
"Well, I thought about it, and I still don't..."
"Oh, by the way, are you going to the library today? I'll wait for you at the old seat!"
"Hey, Wanxiang, your teacher is looking for you, hurry back to your class!"
"Okay, Mr. Shi, I'll be back right away!"
Wanxiang, she is really excellent.
Liu Hui looked at the note in her hand with Wanxiang's contact number written on it, and the cold air she exhaled gradually obscured her vision.
It’s better not to add her. I don’t think she and I are the same type of people.
But Liu Hui, have you ever thought about how much knowledge you learned from her in the days that followed?
Do you imagine that sunny girl who fainted beside you many times due to hypoglycemia caused by family reasons?
Would you have thought that you would study together, chat together, go shopping together, would you have thought that you would experience so many interesting stories together?
But Liu Hui, have you ever thought about the day when you bought a cake to celebrate her birthday, and you walked into her class, only to be shouted at by someone and poured a large basin of cold water on you?
Liu Hui, Liu Hui, you and her haven't become friends yet, why are you separated by a wall of your heart that you can't see or touch?
Why did that outstanding girl change from that day on and become no longer herself?
Liu Hui, would you think of it?
Do you think of these stories of joy, happiness, and the emerald green summer filled with the smell of sparkling water?
You don't.
You will only look at the woman in front of you, who keeps saying "I'm sorry" and is a mess, and shed a tear for her life that has been cut short.
"Liu Hui, you are so kind." He Yuezhe said.
"Yes," Liu Hui responded, "but my kindness is useless."
“…”
Liu Hui carefully wiped Ba Ergou's body on the bed and wrapped it with a cleaner sheet from another room.
Then, he helped the irrational Wanxiang to the bed.
"I'm sorry, I ......"
"Wanxiang," Liu Hui hugged Wanxiang gently, "There's nothing to be sorry about."
"I'm sorry, I ......"
Wanxiang's body was trembling, and her excessive thinness caused her bones to hurt Liu Hui.
“…” Unable to speak, Liu Hui buried her head in Wanxiang’s shoulder.
"I'm sorry, I ......"
Wan Xiang was really thin, so thin that her clothes could hardly hold on to her body. She was so thin that Liu Hui couldn't imagine how she managed to survive the hard study day and night.
But everything she had was burned to ashes.
"...Wanxiang," Liu Hui wiped away her tears, "Have a good sleep."
"I'm sorry, I ......"
"Have a good sleep, then wake up, then wake up..."
"Murder, someone's been murdered, murder ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!"
“Ah ...!!!”
“…and then wake up.”
"Master, why is awakening always so painful?"
“Ah ...
"We've waited so many years and suffered so much, only to find a loophole in this world."
“I’m sorry, I ...…!!!”
"Then use your life to fill it and mend it."
“…”
"Master, is this also true for Wanxiang's life?"
“…”
"We really can't save anyone, can we?"
"Oh? Number 1 is asleep too, and Number 10 has already approved my request. So, in order to fulfill Number 9's wish, I've decided—"
"Go straight to the [Werewolf Identification] phase!!"
“…”
"Since number 9 has lost his mind, we will skip the speeches and go straight to the voting phase!!"
“…”
"Now, please decide whether to press your voting button!!!"
“…”
“…”
"Yes, Liu Hui, we can't save him alone."
He Yuezhe pressed the voting button.
"Because you already think that death is far better for them than life, don't you?"
“…”
"Oh my god, this is such a surprise!!!" A voice from heaven rang out, "Number 9, congratulations, your wish has been fulfilled, and you're about to die!!!"
"Hey, what a surprise! As a [Witch], you're about to die without even using a single bottle of potion. Number 9, you're truly the most surprising person in this game!!!"
"Squeak."
Across the wall, the iron gate opened.
"Tsk, you can't move anymore?" A long golden chain stretched from high in the air towards Room 9. "Then let me help you."
“Squeak…”
Clothes, then □□, the sound of friction with the ground was endless, and then a woman appeared in He Yuezhe's sight.
The golden chain was tightly wrapped around the woman's neck, slowly dragging her out of the room.
Lifeless eyes, seaweed-like hair, and a loose school uniform torn by a sharp weapon.
The woman was hung lifelessly by golden chains, her feet standing weakly on the ground, and her whole body looked like a piece of floating cotton.
"Wanxiang..."
Liu Hui grabbed the iron gate with her hand.
"Tell me, why do I always look up to you?"
“Uhhhh…”
"When I was in junior high school, I saw you working in a restaurant and thought you were a mature and capable older sister."
“Ahhhhhhhhhh…” Saliva flowed from the woman’s mouth.
"In high school, I watched you learn knowledge that I couldn't understand at all, and watched you walk up to the podium. You were almost a genius that I didn't dare to approach."
“Ahhhhhhhhhhh…”
"You are beautiful, generous, confident and sunny."
“Uhhhh…”
"Wanxiang, you are such a good person..."
“Ahh…”
"If there is an afterlife, I hope you can live an easier and freer life. Then, we can be friends again."
The woman is dead.
But until her death, the note that apparently threatened to kill her was still tightly held in her hand.
Simply because the note still contained her unanswered question—
"Wanxiang, let's be friends."
…
…
"Congratulations on unlocking Wanxiang's true identity: Wanxiang!"
"Ding Dong! Detected that you have fulfilled all the conditions for the Judgment Character Wanxiang!"
