I dreamed all night long during summer sleep.
At the beginning it was Xia Chun. The Xia Chun in the original body’s memory from childhood to adulthood was very clear.
Later, it was Xiaofeng. In the dream, she had not come to this world. And just like in her previous life, Xiaofeng was locked up in a small dark room and abused by Zhang Qiming and Huang Xiaojuan...
Xia Mian woke up in a cold sweat. She looked down at Xiao Feng who was sleeping soundly in her arms and couldn't help but hug him tightly.
"Aunt?" Xiao Feng said dazedly, rubbing his eyes.
"It's okay." Xia Mian kissed his forehead and stroked his back, comforting him and herself.
She guessed that this dream might have something to do with the original body's consciousness.
Because of this dream, Xia Mian felt a little listless the next day and spent the whole morning in a daze. At noon, she forced herself to take a nap, but accidentally overslept.
I got up, washed my face, picked up my clothes and ran to school.
When passing by an alley near the school, I saw a few thugs surrounding a thin boy.
"Take it out quickly, or you won't have to go to school today."
The boy was about to cry, "I'm out of money, seriously. I gave it all to you yesterday."
"Yesterday is yesterday. You won't eat today?"
The boy was obviously anxious. "That's my food money for a week. I gave it all to you. We have a quiz today, and I can't be late..."
The more anxious he was, the more the thugs refused to let him go, and they were about to search him.
Xia Mian ran over, grabbed the boy's arm, and rushed forward, pushing aside a thug. "Why are you still here?" she said. "The dean will be here soon. Don't be late."
The thugs probably never thought that a girl who looked weak and well-behaved would lie to them. They were a little hesitant and looked back at the same time.
The principal of Yanda High School is well-known to the local thugs. It is said that he was once the champion of a martial arts competition in the North China region. Anyway, beating up these thugs is like playing a game to him.
The battle that made him famous was when he beat a dozen thugs who came to his house to beat him up. It is said that he was the first generation of the Thirteen Tigers of No. 14 Middle School and the most ferocious gang in the vicinity at that time.
If they really encounter one, they must run away quickly.
When he turned around, there were only a few students hurrying on their way. They immediately realized they had been deceived and started chasing after him, shouting:
"Fuck you!"
"You stinky girl, you're looking for death, stop right there!"
At the beginning, they kept a distance from each other, and those thugs couldn't catch up for a while.
I was so angry that I shouted from behind: "Don't let us find you if you can!"
"Just wait, unless you don't go to school, I will definitely find you out!"
Xia Mian believed their lies.
She was wearing a hat and the uniform of Yanda High School. There was no way those thugs could recognize her.
Just as I was thinking this, a clear voice came from the side, "Xia Mian?! What's wrong with you?"
The voice was so loud, as if he was afraid that others couldn't hear him.
Xia Mian turned around and saw Tian Xueya walking not far away, with an innocent and anxious look on her face.
Xia Mian sneered in her heart. When did they become close enough to care about each other?
Sure enough, the thug behind him said, "Xia Mian, right? Stop right there!"
"Aestivation, good job, don't let us catch you."
Xia Mian suddenly said in panic, "Tian Xueya, run! Those thugs are trying to steal your money. Don't you have the two hundred or so class fees we just collected on you? Don't let them take it away!"
Tian Xueya's expression changed slightly.
Sure enough, the thugs over there immediately stopped and changed direction to surround him. After all, they wanted money. As for Xia Mian, the monk can run away but the temple cannot. It would be the same if they looked for him later.
Xia Mian grabbed the boy and ran away.
Want to harm her? Try it yourself first.
Xia Mian couldn't help but shake his head. This girl had suffered so many losses, but she still didn't learn her lesson.
His hatred was so deep that he was unwilling to miss any opportunity to bring bad luck to Xia Mian.
After entering the school, Xia Mian let go of the little boy and asked, "Are you from the first year of high school?"
The boy nodded, looking back a little worriedly, "Is that senior okay?"
Xia Mian said, "Don't worry, he's not a pushover, he's definitely much better than you."
"How many times have they blackmailed you?"
The boy whispered, "Second time."
"It was our first time yesterday?" Xia Mian asked, "How much did you give?"
"Fifty," the boy said, "a week's worth of my food."
Well, he is a rich man, no wonder he was targeted.
"Have you told the adults?" After saying that, he felt that it was useless to ask. How could an adult give so much living expenses at once?
Sure enough, the boy shook his head and said dejectedly, "My parents are not at home."
Xia Mian said, "Then rely on yourself. You are fifteen or sixteen years old, not a child anymore."
"Anyway, if something like this happens once, it will happen again. You must resist, otherwise you won't have a good time in high school."
Seeing the boy's helpless look, Xia Mian sighed and said, "Forget it, I'll show you how to do it once. You can go by yourself next time."
She took him directly to the dean's office.
"Teacher Li, I encountered a gangster who was blackmailing a classmate. He stole the classmate's food money for a week, fifty yuan."
"I pulled him back, but they seemed to have stopped another female classmate right at the school gate."
The Dean of Studies immediately stood up and left. Xia Mian said, "Did you see that? Next time you need money back, just do this and get the money back. If you can't handle it yourself, there's always someone who can."
"Our school's dean is very capable. He remembers everyone clearly. If you see someone, come to the dean."
The little boy obviously didn't expect that someone would use the dean as a bodyguard, but...
The boy said timidly, "What if they stop me alone and beat me up?"
"First, avoid being alone." Xia Mian said, "Now I'll give you two suggestions."
"First, if you carry something valuable on you, like something worth a few hundred dollars, and you give it to them when they ask for it, then go straight to the police. This can constitute a criminal offense, and the police will arrest you."
"Second, if you get beaten up, call the police immediately. You can also be detained for intentional injury or provoking trouble."
The boy looked at her blankly.
Xia Mian didn't have time to care about him. She just said, "It's not always possible to meet someone as nosy as me. If you don't want to be bullied, find a way yourself."
If he can't stand up on his own, no one can help him.
Xia Mian was already late when she entered the classroom. It happened to be Michael's class. He saw that she looked a little unwell and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"I encountered a gangster blackmailing a classmate," Xia Mian explained, "and reported it to the dean."
Michael asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, the dean of studies is over there."
"Okay, go back to your seat."
Sun Yuexin handed her the notes and said, "It must be those guys from No. 14 Middle School."
Xia Mian was puzzled. "No. 14 Middle School? It's a few blocks away, right? Why would it come to our school?"
"No. 14 Middle School has the lowest admission score in all of Yan City, you know that," Sun Yuexin said. "Everyone calls it a high school for hooligans, with names like the Thirteen Guardians, the Eight Vajras, and the Four Golden Stars. There are quite a lot of gangs."
Xia Mian was amused by this old-fashioned, second-year name.
"Those hooligans can't stand the students in our school. They always come to bully us, either asking for money or starting fights."
Xia Mian understood that in the eyes of the students of No. 14 Middle School, the students of Yanda High School were the "other people's children", and they were particularly outstanding ones.
"When we were in the first year of high school, we had several fights with the Thirteen Tigers of their school." Sun Yuexin still has some nostalgia.
Xia Mian touched her head and sighed, "You guys are pretty wild."
Sun Yuexin chuckled and said, "If they don't cause trouble, we won't bother to care about them. Besides, where do we have the time now? We can't even keep up with our studies."
From the first year to the second year of high school, Sun Yuexin and Li Lizhen both broke into the top 100 in the school. Teachers in the entire grade used them as examples to educate those students who were just slacking off. Their parents even invited Xia Mian to dinner.
The two of them gradually realized the fun and became more and more hardworking and serious. Of course, the most important thing was that there was a target, Tian Xueya, hanging in front of them.
"Did they come to cause trouble again later?" Xia Mian asked.
"No," Sun Yuexin said, "Didn't you quickly send Hao Jian and two thugs to the police station after you arrived? After word got out, the thugs around here didn't dare come to our school anymore."
Xia Mian didn't expect that what happened last year would have such a deterrent effect.
But it's obviously time-sensitive. Sun Yuexin sighed, "It's a pity that there was only peace for one year."
At this point, she suddenly remembered, "Hey, do you think it might be because of Hao Jian? He transferred to No. 14 Middle School."
"You have to be careful next time. I'm afraid he will retaliate against you."
"Tian Xueya must have told him about your family. If he knew that your family had no background, he wouldn't be so afraid."
Shortly after Xia Mian invited Sun Yuexin and Li Lizhen to his home to eat skewers last year, rumors began to spread around the school, saying that Xia Mian's family was just a street vendor, but he pretended to be rich and was a vain person.
Xia Mian was ridiculed for two days, but she didn't care at all. It happened that the Jia family was causing trouble and business was bad.
In front of the people who came to mock her, Xia Mian directly called on her classmates to go to her family's Chuan Chuan Xiang stall to eat, "I'm from the countryside, my family is extremely poor, and we rely on this stall to support our studies. Please take care of it!"
Those who mocked her could not gain a sense of accomplishment and finally left in frustration.
At first, Xia Mian thought it was an unintentional misunderstanding. After all, the Xia family's skewers stall was already there, and Xia Mian had never concealed it. In addition, Tian Xueya had spread rumors that she had a strong background, so it was normal for people to misunderstand her.
Until the news that Xia Mian was an orphan spread, it was confirmed that it was Tian Xueya. Apart from Sun Yuexin and Li Lizhen, only Tian Xueya knew that Xia Mian had no parents.
Given Tian Xueya's hatred for Xia Mian, she would definitely take advantage of this kind of thing.
Xia Mian didn't care, but Sun Yuexin had already started to be on high alert. "Let's go to and from school with Zhao Cheng from now on."
At this point, he said with a lingering look on his face, "I wonder if Zhao Cheng and Han Haoyan have met each other."
Xia Mian shook his head helplessly.
Han Haoyan is a transfer student who just arrived some time ago. He is tall and handsome, and his bad boy temperament is very much to Sun Yuexin's liking. I also heard that he is very good at basketball and his academic performance is not bad. In short, after he came, Gu Zhou's position as the school's most handsome boy was obviously no longer secure.
Sun Yuexin never misses any opportunity to watch the other person. Just one look at him is like breathing in a breath of fairy air, and he can be excited for the whole day.
Of course, she is obviously not the only girl like this.
As soon as the first bell rang, people in the corridor began to rush towards Class 6. Li Lizhen was already standing at the classroom door, waving at them, "Hey, hurry up!"
In the second year of high school, the students were divided into arts and science majors. They all chose science, but unfortunately they were not assigned to the same class. Xia Mian and Sun Yuexin were still in Class 3, while Li Lizhen and Zhao Cheng were in Class 4.
Sun Yuexin immediately followed Li Lizhen out excitedly. Xia Mian was really not in the mood today, so she just lay on the table and closed her eyes to rest.
Li Ming, who was sitting at the table in front of me, exclaimed, "These girls are really crazy. Are they really that pretty?"
His deskmate said, "When Xia Mian came here, it was also a grand occasion, except there were more boys."
Li Mingdao said, "Our class three was indeed very happy at that time."
"So now it's Class 6's turn."
"But I heard that the transfer student seems to be interested in Tian Xueya..."
Li Ming was shocked, "What?! Is this true?"
Li Ming, who felt he had seen through everything, said in a tone of a sage, "Alas, another poor person deceived by Tian Xueya."
During class, Sun Yuexin came back from outside with a look of disillusionment on her face. "Oh my God, Han Haoyan is actually dating Tian Xueya..."
"Isn't this too fast? It's been less than two weeks since he transferred here?" a girl exclaimed.
Xia Mian was about to comfort Sun Yuexin when she heard her say with disdain, "You really can't just judge a person by their appearance. Fortunately, Zhao Cheng hasn't had the chance to flirt with her yet. With such an IQ..."
The girl next to her came back and shared, "I heard that at noon today, Tian Xueya was blackmailed by thugs at the school gate, and that Han Haoyan heroically saved her and beat the thugs away."
"I didn't expect him to be so good at fighting," the girl said with regret, "but his eyesight is so poor. How could he like Tian Xueya?"
Over the past year, all the students who have a good relationship with Xia Mian know that Tian Xueya has never stopped causing trouble for Xia Mian.
She seemed to have grasped the essence of the White Lotus's classic skills. She just threw out half a truth and left the rest to everyone to interpret.
After all, what she said was true, and how others understand it is their business.
However, she never succeeded. Every time she framed someone, her classmates would learn more about Xia Mian:
Her frankness, her broad-mindedness, her intelligence and humor, anyway, Xia Mian is better than Tian Xueya.
And Xia Mian's revenge on Tian Xueya is also straightforward and cute: to crush her in all aspects, not just her academic performance.
Xia Mian would participate in any learning competition as long as Tian Xueya participated; even in the New Year's Eve parties two years ago and last year, the four-hand piano duet that Tian Xueya wanted to perform with Gu Zhou was defeated by Xia Mian's piano solo, and she even lost the qualification to go on stage.
I really can't confront you if you're causing trouble, but you can't blame me because I'm better than you, right?
In short, thanks to Tian Xueya, more and more people got to know Xia Mian. I don’t know about other classes, but in Xia Mian’s class, few people dislike her.
In Xia Mian's words, that is the charm of a fairy.
On the contrary, more and more people understand that Tian Xueya is despicable. Of course, most of those who have this keen intuition are girls.
Xia Mian asked the girl, "Didn't you mention me when you talked about the blackmail incident at noon?"
The girl asked, "Why do I mention you?"
Xia Mian sighed, "You're quite patient. Are you going to improve your rank?"
Sun Yuexin was puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Before Xia Mian had the time to explain the situation, the English teacher came in and started the class. Afterwards, no one took the matter to heart and forgot about it.
Today is Saturday and there is no evening self-study class. Everyone is looking forward to the holiday and has no time to gossip. The last self-study class is relatively free and there is no teacher supervising. Most of the students are rushing to do their homework, looking forward to having more rest when they go back home for the holiday.
Li Lizhen ran in from the door with an ambiguous look on her face, "Xia Mian."
Sun Yuexin smiled as soon as she saw her expression. "You're almost a messenger. Another love letter? How many?"
Li Lizhen said, "Not many today, just two." Then she handed a pink letter folded into a heart shape to Xia Mian.
The classmates in the class started to make a noise. Xia Mian took it helplessly and stuffed it into his pocket, saying with a smile, "As usual, I appreciate your kindness, but we don't have relationships in high school. Please tell me."
Li Lizhen asked, "Don't you even look at who it is?"
Xia Mian smiled and said, "No, I'm afraid that I will be attracted by the other person's excellence and won't be able to study well."
Xia Mian received love letters almost every day in the past year, and everyone knew that she was rejecting them. She never embarrassed anyone in this regard.
Everyone laughed in good faith, and suddenly a cold sneer was heard, "Not rejecting but still giving people hope, it's just to keep them hanging, you really are quite good at it."
The students in Class 3 were stunned for a moment and looked up at the boy standing at the door.
He has a slender figure, half a head taller than the average boy, and is wearing a slim sportswear, which makes him very eye-catching and handsome.
His bad boy temperament, coupled with his academic performance and athletic ability, does indeed have a charm that high school girls cannot resist.
It’s Han Haoyan, a transfer student from Class 6.
Sun Yuexin frowned and said unhappily, "Hey classmate, who are you? Why are you suddenly running into our class looking for a fight?"
Han Haoyan crossed his arms, leaned lazily against the door frame, and smiled, "Nothing, I'm just curious about the strange eyes of the boys in our high school. They actually like such a vicious girl."
This is a case of the girl being crazy about his looks, but the boy is already angry.
"Are you sick? Who said aestivation is evil?"
"What's Xia Meng like? What does it have to do with him? Did you provoke him?"
Xia Mian probably guessed something. She also crossed her arms across her chest and smiled gently, "Just to confirm, are you here to vent your anger on behalf of your sweetheart?"
Han Haoyan smiled mischievously and said, "I just saw something unfair."
"I think you should apologize to Tian Xueya."
Tian Xueya seemed to have heard the noise and ran over. With a blushing face, she nervously tugged at his sleeve and said, "Han Haoyan, don't do this."
Han Haoyan looked at her gently and said, "It's okay. I'll take care of this matter today. She must apologize to you today."
Sun Yuexin rolled her eyes. "Are you sick? Why?"
Han Haoyan narrowed his eyes slightly, "This afternoon, I saw Xia Mian frame Tian Xueya with my own eyes! He said she had money on her, and then she was surrounded by thugs and blackmailed."
"Student Xia Mian, do you admit it?"
"Why can't I admit it?" Xia Mian whispered softly, admitting it straightforwardly, "I did it on purpose."
Han Haoyan choked, obviously not expecting Xia Mian to act this way.
Xia Mian asked, "Since you heard me frame her, did you hear her calling me?"
Han Haoyan said, "I heard that she cared about you."
As soon as he said this, the students in Class 3 started laughing like crazy as if their funny bone was poked.
"Oh my god, he said Tian Xueya cares about Xia Mian?!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
"This is too funny, the biggest joke of the year..."
“…”
Han Haoyan was stunned. The situation was obviously completely different from what he had imagined.
Tian Xueya sensed something and quickly pulled the person over and begged, "Han Haoyan, please stop talking and come back with me..."
"Don't!" Sun Yuexin suppressed a smile and said, "Tian Xueya, before you use someone as a robber, don't you understand his personality and habits?"
"Although this guy's brains aren't very good, he still has the aura to face off head-on. Let's make it clear face to face."
Looking at Han Haoyan's cold face, Li Lizhen said, "Everyone in the second grade knows Tian Xueya... Poor Tian Xueya was bullied by us Xia Mian and didn't even dare to choose science. She had to go to the liberal arts class."
"Yeah," a girl from Class 7 said sarcastically, "Everyone in the second year of high school knows that Xia Mian bullied others by taking advantage of his power. He forced Tian Xueya to transfer classes, fainted during a competition, and couldn't even perform at the New Year's Eve party..."
"Excuse me, classmate Han Haoyan," Sun Yuexin asked, "would you care about someone who bullies you like this?"
"Except when cursing, how could Tian Xueya call Xia Mian's name and show concern? Hahaha..."
Xia Mian asked, "Do you know why Tian Xueya suddenly cares about me?"
Han Haoyan and Xia Mian looked at each other frankly, and he seemed to have figured something out, and his expression turned a little ugly.
Xia Mian didn't let him go and said directly, "Because I robbed the fat sheep in the hands of those gangsters, those gangsters wanted to settle the score with me, but they didn't know my name."
Everyone suddenly realized what was going on and looked at Tian Xueya with disgust. They turned around and asked Xia Mian worriedly, "Xia Mian, those thugs won't block you at the door, right?"
"Is it those people from No. 14 Middle School? What should we do? Xia Mian, you have to be careful. How about we go together?"
"Yes, let's go together. It's okay."
Han Haoyan was just surprised that Xia Mian was so popular when he heard her calling him, "No need, isn't there classmate Han Haoyan here?"
"Since you like to stand up for the weak, there's no reason why you should only be against Tian Xueya, right?"
Xia Mian stood up and said to Tian Xueya, "Tian Xueya, I'm very sorry that I shouldn't have used the same method to frame you. I should have just accepted it and let those thugs surround me and rob me, so that you could get what you wanted and feel good."
Her expression was very sincere, but Tian Xueya and Han Haoyan's expressions were very ugly.
Everyone in Class 3 had a look of ridicule on their faces.
Xia Mian asked Han Haoyan, "I've apologized, so please, this brave warrior who loves to stand up for the weak, help me deal with those thugs at the door. There are so many people watching, please show your ability to save the world."
Sun Yuexin then said: "Amen"
Everyone laughed.
Han Haoyan narrowed his eyes and said, "I misunderstood you about what happened today. I apologize to you. I will definitely help you solve the problem with the gangster."
Xia Mian ignored what she said before and continued with a smile, "Thank you in advance!"
