On Monday night, a week before the game, Yun Zhao woke up in the middle of the night. It was quiet in the dormitory. Everyone was sleeping soundly, and the sound of breathing rose and fell.
Yun Zhao was about to fall asleep again when he was attracted by the sound of light footsteps. At first, she thought that it was a roommate on the lower bunk who had gotten up to go to the bathroom or something. After a long time, she realized that the person seemed to be walking aimlessly in the dormitory, from one end of the dormitory to the other, and then from the other end of the dormitory to this end. She didn't know what he was doing.
In addition, there was the sound of plastic bags being sorted out. Yun Zhao felt a little flustered for some reason. Who was getting up in the middle of the night and secretly doing something?
She hesitated for a long time before mustering up the courage to look out through the gap in the blanket. With just one glance, her scalp exploded. She saw a black shadow standing in front of her roommate Peng Suling's bed, staring at her without moving.
It was not the girl from their dormitory. It was a tall figure, a man's figure.
Yun Zhao was so scared that he didn't even dare to breathe. He closed his eyes tightly, and his palms were sweating. Was there a thief or something?
That person seemed to have started to walk slowly again. He walked towards her step by step. After a few steps, he paused for a while. Just like that, he walked around aimlessly in the dormitory. After an unknown period of time, when the sky was about to brighten, the sound of the footsteps gradually faded away and disappeared without a sound.
Yun Zhao glared at her with his dark eyes. She barely slept for the rest of the night.
However, his roommates didn't seem to have any abnormalities. They went to class and studied as usual. Yun Zhao vaguely asked Peng Suling if she had any nightmares last night. Peng Suling shook her head to show that she had slept well.
Yun Zhao took a deep breath. Was that just her nightmare?
Since everyone was fine, she must have heard wrongly in the middle of the night.
Throughout the day, Yun Zhao felt a terrible headache and was very sleepy. She might have only slept for three or four hours last night. During Chinese class, she fell asleep on her stomach.
In the middle of the night on Tuesday, Yun Zhao woke up again. She heard the footsteps again and walked back and forth.
She gritted her teeth and hypnotized herself to fall asleep quickly. She would pretend that she did not hear anything and that it was a nightmare.
But she couldn't fall asleep. That voice kept beating on her heart. Every step felt like it was stepping on her nerves. The voice was very soft, but it couldn't be ignored.
She stayed awake until morning, when the voice disappeared again.
The last two classes in the afternoon were physics. Yun Zhao listened and fell asleep again. After school, Jiang Ying asked her,"Is your head still uncomfortable?"
Yun Zhao originally wanted to deny it, but then he felt that he would have to find an excuse if he denied it, so he simply nodded in silence.
Jiang Ying thought for a moment and said,"Do you want to take a break for two days? You won't be able to go to school well like this."”
Yun Zhao shook his head. She was actually used to it. This was most of her daily life. She was the legendary poor student and was very sleepy every day.
"It's a small matter." She said," It'll be fine in two days.”
Seeing her insistence, Jiang Ying didn't say anything else.
At night, Yun Zhao specially charged the small table lamp and placed it beside his pillow. If something happened, it would be convenient for her to turn on the light. That way, she wouldn't be too afraid.
In the middle of the night on Wednesday, Yun Zhao woke up at about the same time. She heard that voice again.
Yun Zhao thought that maybe if he took some sleeping pills, he wouldn't have to wake up in the middle of the night to suffer this torture. However, sleeping pills weren't that easy to buy.
Her mind was running wild as the footsteps slowly walked towards her.
Yun Zhao's heart tightened, and his sleepiness immediately lessened.
The footsteps slowly approached her, step by step. Every step felt like it was stepping on her soul.
Finally, the footsteps stopped in front of her bed.
She could clearly feel that thing staring at her.
She closed her eyes and felt that her back was wet. After a while, there was still no movement. The thing that she used to have was gone, so she slowly opened her eyes and met a pair of black hole-like eyes. They were enveloped by a layer of black fog, because they were faintly visible.
"Ah!" She couldn't help but scream. She reached out and pressed the lamp desperately, but the lamp wouldn't turn on. She had charged it before she went to bed and turned it on repeatedly.
A pair of large pairs grabbed her legs. The pair of large pairs were like two steel pliers that clamped her legs. A chill pierced into her thighs like steel needles. She was in so much pain that she felt as if her legs had been cut off. After a long time, the thing stopped. It probably thought that she was dead or something.
It reached down to her nose.
Yun Zhao held his breath tightly and did not dare to breathe loudly.
After a while, just as she felt like she was about to suffocate, the thing let go of her and floated away from the window.
Yun Zhao suddenly woke up. She turned on the small light on the pillow and lay on the bed, panting.
She touched her legs. They were intact, but the intense pain had not disappeared. Although it was not as painful as before, it was still unbearable.
She stayed up until morning. Yun Zhao limped to class. It was really painful, and she was holding back her tears.
At noon, she called home and told them about her situation. She asked them to send her some money. She wanted to go to the hospital for a check-up.
The person on the other end of the phone only sneered and said,"You've found a new excuse to cheat money again.”
Yun Zhao's heart turned cold. He wanted to argue again, but the other end of the phone said,"400 yuan a month. I don't care if you use it to go online or date someone. I'm only responsible for you until you're 18 years old. Don't even think about cheating me out of a penny.”
After saying that, he hung up. Yun Zhao listened to the toot sound and silently put away the phone.
She sat on the grass and beat her legs hard. She felt that this method seemed to be able to alleviate the physical pain a little, or perhaps the psychological pain.
In the end, she couldn't take it anymore. She took a leave of absence in the afternoon and went to a nearby hospital. She still had more than 300 yuan for living expenses.
The doctor said that he needed to take a CT scan to know the exact situation. In the CT room, the doctor asked her to take off her jeans. Yun Zhao was a little embarrassed, but in the end, he could only obediently take off his pants and finish the scan.
The doctor looked at the intact CT scan and finally said,"It's not a big problem. It might be that your body is a little lacking in calcium. I'll prescribe some calcium tablets for you to take home.”
Yun Zhao was anxious when he heard that. How could there be no problem? She was in so much pain that she almost couldn't take it.
The doctor looked at her strangely and said,"There's really no problem. If you don't believe me, you can go to another hospital to have a look."”
In the end, Yun Zhao left the hospital helplessly and returned to school with the calcium tablets and painkillers the doctor had prescribed for her. The last two periods were physical education classes. She stuffed her things into the drawer and followed her classmates downstairs.
She only had a few hundred yuan left for her living expenses, and there were still two weeks before she could pay for her living expenses next month.
After taking the painkillers, Yun Zhao felt a little relieved.
——
After the first period on Friday morning, Yun Zhao quickly told Xiao Bin, who was in charge of the basketball game, that she might not be able to participate. Her leg was injured, and he asked him to find a girl to replace her.
After Xiao Bin heard her words, he said unhappily,"Where do you want me to find someone now? Even if someone is willing to go, they won't have time to train!。”
"I'm really sorry. I didn't expect this to happen. I'm really sorry.”Yun Zhao kept apologizing. She was sure that there was nothing she could do. She had been struggling to walk for the past two days, like the little mermaid in a fairy tale. Once the painkillers wore off, every step she took felt like she was dancing on the edge of a knife.
After Lu Mingxue found out about this, she glared at Yun Zhao angrily as if Yun Zhao was a traitor.
The last two physics classes in the morning. During the last class, Lu Mingxue's deskmate, Chen Shuling, suddenly pointed at Lu Mingxue and said," Teacher, she's crying."”
Jiang Ying frowned and walked over to ask,"What happened?"
However, Lu Mingxue just lay on the table and cried without saying a word.
Jiang Yao glanced at Yun Zhao, her eyes filled with surprise.
Yun Zhao had a bad feeling and frowned slightly.
"It's because Han Yunzhao said that she won't be participating in the basketball game, and we can't find a substitute, so Mingxue is a little anxious.”Xiao Bin explained to the teacher.
Jiang Ying also frowned slightly and said,"Let's discuss the basketball match after school. Now, focus on class.”
Lu Mingxue was still sprawled on the table when school was over at noon. A few classmates surrounded her to comfort her.
" I'm fine." Lu Mingxue wiped her tears and said," I just feel that everyone has been practicing hard for so long. I can't accept it."”
"Han Yunzhao, come here." Jiang Ying said to her.
Yun Zhao could only go over obediently.
"Why are you suddenly quitting?”he asked.
"My leg is injured." Yun Zhao could only frown and say.
"You're lying!" Lu Mingxue pointed at her and said," Your leg is completely fine. You deliberately backed out so that everyone's hard work would go to waste!”
"What happened to your leg?" Jiang Ying asked.
"I fell." Yun Zhao said.
"You're lying. Where did you fall? Why don't you pick it up and show everyone?”
"Do I have to show you if I fall on my butt?”Yun Zhao said a little angrily.
"I know you're lying! Han Yunzhao!" Lu Mingxue said firmly," How can there be such a disgusting person like you?! Liar!"
"What right do you have to say that I'm lying? Do you have evidence?”Yun Zhao said angrily.
Jiang Yao probably didn't like Lu Mingxue either, so she retorted,"That's right. What evidence do you have to accuse a good person? What can you do if he's injured? Crippling to get a placing with you?"
"Evidence, right? I really do!" As Lu Mingxue spoke, she angrily took out her phone from the drawer. Then, she took out a photo from the photo album and showed it to everyone."Do you know what this is? This was the X-ray that Han Yunzhao had taken at the hospital! When I was cleaning yesterday afternoon, I saw this thing fall from her desk, so I picked it up and took a look. My mother is an orthopedist, so I sent it to my mother to confirm. My mother said that this scan was normal and there was no problem! Tell me! How did your leg get injured? Didn't you say that ugly people always cause trouble and deliberately mess with everyone? He would first pretend to agree, then withdraw when it was about time, leaving everyone in a dilemma, and finally begging him! You shouldn't have used such a method to get everyone's attention!”
When Yun Zhao heard this, he couldn't say a word. He only felt his hands and feet tremble, and he felt a chill. In the end, he could only say incoherently," You…you…" Then, she couldn't say a word.
"What about you? What did I say wrong? Didn't you usually act all mysterious just to get attention? In the past, I told my classmates that you saw a ghost, and then I told the police that I was bitten by a vampire. My uncle and the others worked for a long time in vain to find the murderer! Now you're doing this again. You're really disgusting!”
The students gathered around and looked at Yun Zhao in surprise. Although they knew that her grades were not good and that she was usually a little strange, they did not expect her to do such a thing.
Jiang Yao also looked at Yun Zhao in surprise, not knowing how to help her.
"I didn't do what you said." Yun Zhao could only insist in the end.
"Then show me the evidence! Prove yourself!" Lu Mingxue said.
"The doctor said that my leg pain might be caused by a lack of calcium in my body. She even prescribed me some medicine. I can show it to you.”
"So you're saying that your leg hurts because of calcium deficiency and not because of the fall? You admit that you lied?" Lu Mingxue asked.
" I..." Yun Zhao's face turned pale.
"We're all of the same age. Are you the only one growing? Why are we all fine? You didn't hurt earlier or later. You didn't hurt last week, you didn't hurt this week, but you hurt today. Who are you lying to?”Lu Mingxue pointed at Yun Zhao and said.
