As night fell, my soul fell into a deep slumber. My cold body reflected the pain of not being able to see the horizon. The teasing of fate had never stopped. There was no future of happiness. In the depths of my memories, where should I go?
If we had never met, perhaps you would have been happy…
With the start of the new semester, the school started to get busy. Standing at the gate of the Eastern University that he had always dreamed of, he couldn't pull back his thoughts for a long time…Staring into the depths of the school, there was still a trace of peace to be found.
Stepping into the arched school gate made of marble with hard patterns, he immediately felt an inexplicable unkind gaze. It was filled with ridicule and disdain as it stared at the ordinary person standing at the school gate. His nerves began to feel numb, and the sense of urgency was suffocating.
"Look at that girl, the one at the school gate!”A girl shouted excitedly.
"Hmm? Which one? Oh... it's pretty. Why? Since when were you interested in beauties other than yourself?”
"No, according to the rumors…that girl was very famous in high school!”
"What's so strange about that? All beautiful women get attention, right? Aren't you one of them?" The girl continued to flip through the book in her hand, not feeling much about the excessive excitement of the people around her.
"You idiot! I also heard that her father was in prison and her mother abandoned her when she was very young…I just don't understand why such a person would come to our school. After all, almost all the people in our school are descendants of famous families!”From this end of the campus came a constant murmur of discussion.
"I see! She couldn't tell from her appearance, but she looked quite cute. In fact…I quite like this kind of person who looks strong on the outside but is weak on the inside.”Another girl said calmly as she leaned against the tree.
"There's something wrong with your head! If your eyes are broken, go and fix them. You go crazy when you see a beautiful woman! To think that you're one of the top ladies in the school…Look at how she's pretending to be innocent and unlucky. It's disgusting to see her!”The girl pouted and said unhappily.
"Hehe, don't maliciously slander her just because she's cuter and prettier than you. You have your strengths too!"
"I don't feel happy at all to be praised by someone like you! Besides, wasn't it said in novels and television dramas that such people usually had bad things to do? Isn't this how society is now? The weak would only be eliminated. If one wanted to stand firm in this society, it was impossible to survive without making the necessary sacrifices!”The girl suddenly lowered her head and whispered to the girl beside her." The only advantage of being a girl is that you are a kind of capital!”
"Hahaha, I didn't expect to hear such a great truth from a person like you who has everything to offer! Are you saying that if their family background is not good, their children are destined to use their own bodies to stand firm?”The girl felt a little incredulous." Fallen? I want to see what kind of miracle this dying Lily will create!”
Park Xiaoling lowered her head and clenched the crescent-shaped pendant in her hand. He kept telling himself not to care about it…It didn't matter. No matter how people talked about him, as long as he didn't care, he didn't care! Don't think about it! Her nails dug deep into her flesh. Xiaoling only hoped that the pain would make her forget this annoying feeling. Taking a deep breath, Xiaoling slowly walked forward. She didn't dare to look up because she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to stand the people around her pointing at her. Suddenly, a commotion came from the school gate behind Xiaoling. There were shouts and screams, wave after wave. Did something happen? Confused, Xiaoling continued to walk in the direction of the teaching block.
"Hey, kid, you're blocking the way. Get out of the way!”Suddenly, a strong force came from behind her, and Xiaoling, who was unable to react in time, was pushed to the ground before she could stand firm.
" It hurts…" Xiaoling sat on the ground and frowned as she cried out softly. He checked the skin on his elbow that had been worn out. The wound was slightly red. Did something happen just now? Who was it? Xiaoling looked up at the culprit unhappily.
Accompanied by the dazzling sunlight, three tall and handsome boys greeted her eyes... They had a huge aura, and each of them seemed to be insufferably arrogant. Xiaoling fixed her eyes on the scene, but before she could think, she noticed the unhappy expressions and intense grinding sounds of the students around her. Thinking back to the commotion at the school gate just now, it turned out that they were the ones who caused it... Ignoring everyone's surprised gazes, Xiaoling held her wound and stood up in pain. She patted the dust off her body and turned to leave... Xiaoling did not intend to pursue the matter because she did not want to cause trouble.
" Wait…" One of the boys with short brown hair blocked Xiaoling's path. "Are you a new student? Why have I never seen you before? I'm really sorry for what happened just now. Are you hurt?”A certain man said with a cheeky smile, completely ignoring the impatient Xiaoling who was standing at the side.
Xiaoling quickly sorted out her thoughts and ignored the person in front of her. She turned around and wanted to go in another direction. After a few steps, Xiaoling was stopped again. This time, it was another boy. He was wearing glasses and looked very gentle. Xiaoling felt that it was a little unbelievable. Why were the people in this school so troublesome?
"It's better for your hand to go to the infirmary.”The bespectacled man held the folder in one hand and pointed at Xiaoling's injured hand with the other.
Xiaoling looked down at her injured hand, then looked up at the two boys blocking her way. She pursed her lips and said emotionlessly,"Please move aside."
Xiaoling's ungrateful attitude obviously frightened the people around her, and everyone looked at her in surprise. When the bespectacled man heard Xiaoling's words, he made way for her, but the other one…still smiled cheekily as he slowly approached Xiaoling." You have to go to the infirmary if you're injured. It's all my fault. Take it as my apology, I'll accompany you!”As he spoke, he held Xiaoling's hand and planned to go to the infirmary.
"Please let go of your hand." Xiaoling said emotionlessly. While the man was in a daze, Xiaoling shook off the hand that was holding her in disdain and stared at the boy from the corner of her eyes. From time to time, her eyes would send a message that said," Don't touch me casually." There was a moment of silence on the small road. It was as if time had stopped for everyone except for Xiaoling. Xiaoling had just heaved a sigh of relief and thought that she could leave again when suddenly…
"Stop!" A short and threatening "order" was heard by Xiaoling, and she couldn't help but stop. Xiaoling was starting to get angry. She turned around and looked at the person who had called out to her. Under the sunlight, that person was sparkling. Xiaoling couldn't take her eyes off him. The moment their eyes met…something flashed by, but he couldn't catch it!
A gentle breeze blew past, and the surroundings were silent. It was as if the two of them were the only ones left in this world... Since fate had already been set, how could love continue?
After an unknown period of time, neither of them spoke. A light cough pulled the two of them back to their senses. At this moment, the bell rang. The absent-minded Xiaoling did not want to stay any longer and left with the crowd. This time, no one stopped her.
"Ye, what's wrong?" Shang Si patted Ye, who had been in a daze since the beginning, and asked curiously.
" It's nothing…" Night looked at Xiaoling's back as she left, and replied without a change in expression.
"I didn't expect it to be a little beauty. She's so cute! You guys saw it just now, right? At first glance, you thought she was an injured kitten! It was so stunning that even I was shocked…Is it a new student? Why didn't he look like he had seen her before? Ah…I got hurt. I wonder if it's serious?!”Xian pretended to be regretful and kept shaking his head.
"Xian, you still dare to say that? You're always the one who causes trouble.”Shang Si angrily rebuked.
"Shang Si, don't be so serious. Didn't I say that I would take her to the infirmary? I can't do anything if she doesn't appreciate it…However, she's also very cute when she's stubborn and angry. I seem to have fallen in love with her at first sight.”Xian shouted excitedly.
"You'd better let her go!”Shang Si pushed his glasses up his nose bridge and teased.
"Who is she?" Night's sudden question stunned Shang Si. Ye, who never asked about other people's business, when did he have something he was interested in!
"Piao Xiaoling, 18, freshman. Mother's column is blank, seems to be a single-parent family. His father had been in prison for a few years. After he was released from prison, he had been recuperating at home for many years. In high school, he had a record of demerits due to his part-time job. However, because of his excellent results, he was accepted by our school.”Shang Si flipped open the folder in his hand and read it in detail.
"I say, Shangsi, how do you know her so well?”Xian asked curiously.
"I accidentally noticed it when I was looking at the freshmen's files. It's hard not to notice someone like this!”
"Oh, no wonder everyone was talking about her when we entered the school gate just now…It turns out that she became the topic of everyone's conversation on her first day in school! It seemed that regardless of gender, many people were very interested in her. She was really popular!”Hyun thought about it. She was so cute, with big eyes, snow-white skin, and a strong and hurt look. She should be popular! He just hoped that everyone would really welcome him. After all, the people in this school were not easy to deal with.
Shang Si looked at Xian, who was still infatuated with her fantasy, and then looked at Ye, who was deep in thought." She's still just an ordinary person!”This seemingly simple sentence contained many unknown emotions.
"Where have I seen her before?" Night's thoughts were a little fuzzy. There were too many uncertain factors.
Shang Si smiled.”
After the three of them disturbed the calm of the water, they left quietly. What greeted them was the next wave.
