The darkness fades away and the dawn breaks.
Perhaps because of the sweltering heat yesterday, a heavy rain fell at night. The sky was washed clean into a deep blue, the sun penetrated the clouds, and raindrops fell along the eaves and leaves.
Accompanied by the sound of birds chirping, Cong Nian went out early with his schoolbag.
Today is the first day of school at Yuecheng No. 1 Middle School, and she can't be late.
Yuecheng No. 1 Middle School is the No. 1 among many key middle schools in Yuecheng. It has a strong faculty and a good learning atmosphere. Most of the students who can be admitted here have excellent grades.
Of course there are some exceptions.
Before leaving, Cong Nian looked back at the tightly closed door next door.
She still remembered last night, when she was complaining to her bestie Yu Xinghe about the annoying brat from yesterday, she heard a series of "dong dong dong" footsteps rolling down the wooden stairs, breaking the tranquility of the night.
Then there was a loud "bang" and the bed shook -
It was the sound of a door slamming.
She had just arrived and was too timid to open the door to see. She only knew that the sound of the door slamming came from the next room.
The person who would make such a big fuss...could it be Aunt Lin’s son?
That little fat kid with a runny nose?
I heard from Aunt Lin that he and I went to the same school...
It seems like he has a bad temper. I hope he is not in the same class with me.
"Nian Nian!"
As they approached the school gate, a cheerful figure rushed over and hugged Cong Nian's arm.
It goes without saying that the person coming must be her good friend Yu Xinghe.
"It's only been a few days since I last saw you, and I miss you so much~"
Yu Xinghe leaned forward and rubbed his head against Cong Nian's shoulder.
"Haha, that's itchy."
When she saw Yu Xinghe, Cong Nian couldn't help but share what she heard last night.
"Is that true? Then let's stay away. My dear Nian Nian, it's been hard on us on our first day staying here."
"If I didn't have a younger brother who already has a job, I would definitely ask you to take him in and take good care of him."
"Look at this little face. It's become so haggard in just one day."
Yu Xinghe held Cong Nian's face with both hands, looked left and right, and pursed her lips as if she was about to cry at any second.
Then, as if he suddenly thought of something, he looked around mysteriously and moved closer to Cong Nian.
"I heard there's a new freshman who's tough to mess with!"
Yu Xinghe lowered his voice and made a gesture of wiping his neck after he finished speaking.
"Not easy to mess with?"
Cong Nian blinked.
For some reason, when I heard these words, the face of the boy from yesterday came to my mind.
He shook his head violently, his face reddening suspiciously.
Why would I think of him?
"When I came here this morning, I heard a few girls in No. 1 Middle School uniforms talking about him. They said he was very ugly and liked to skip classes, fight, drink, and smoke!"
"He's just a bad boy!"
At the end of his speech, his voice unconsciously became a little louder, attracting the curious gazes of several students around him.
“Cough cough cough…”
Cong Nian smiled at others embarrassedly, holding Yu Xinghe's hand and jogging into the campus, stopping in front of the freshman teaching building where there were few people.
"Where did you hear all this news? Be careful if someone else hears it and comes to trouble you!"
Cong Nian had good grades, and she had only seen school bullies in books.
"I guess... not."
Yu Xinghe covered his chest and gasped, his speech intermittent.
"Stop reading the gossip, you hear me?"
Cong Nian pretended to be angry and poked Yu Xinghe's forehead, and the latter stuck out his tongue embarrassedly.
"It's almost time, let's go to class and don't be late."
The class list was announced yesterday, and luckily she and Yu Xinghe were both assigned to Class 1 (4) of Senior High School.
Class 4's classroom was on the first floor, and the two walked in through the back door.
Half of the classmates arrived and seemed to be discussing something enthusiastically, so no one noticed them.
"It seems the seats are divided by student numbers. I'm number 11 and you're number 13. Let's sit in front and behind each other."
Yu Xinghe stood in front of the back blackboard, looking for two names on the seating chart.
"He Sui..."
Why does this name sound familiar?
"What's wrong? Do you know each other?"
Yu Xinghe raised an eyebrow and glanced at Cong Nian's deskmate's name.
No. 14, He Sui.
"I don't know him."
Cong Nian shook his head.
"Oh~ Really?"
Yu Xinghe dragged out the last syllable of his words, and two words were almost written in his eyes: gossip.
"Isn't this some guy I met somewhere, but he's not telling my sisters?"
"Oh, I really don't know him, don't ask."
Cong Nian waved his hand and walked to his seat.
An inexplicable sense of guilt made her hesitant.
"Hiss, why do I feel like I've seen this name somewhere..."
Yu Xinghe raised his hand and stroked his chin, and walked to his seat because other people came to check the seating chart.
As soon as I sat down, an idea flashed in my mind and I almost exclaimed.
