Dressed as an abandoned daughter of a wealthy family, she relies on metaphysics to become a god
Chapter 1064: Like a Diamond, Not a Diamond
He Kaiyan was stunned for a moment, then said, "I've seen it, it's just a small diamond ring, very small. I didn't even notice where it was at first. This thing is quite expensive, at least eighteen thousand. I think I should return it to Xiao Mo first."
He deliberately added emphasis to the price in an attempt to make Brother Tian give up.
But Tian Ge suddenly became tough and stretched out his hand to grab the box. "He has left the school, why are you giving it back to him? Besides, if you don't tell me and I don't tell him, how would he know that we took the box away?"
He Kaiyan held the box tightly. Brother Tian was a big and strong man. If the diamond ring fell into his hands, he might lose it in a few minutes.
For He Kaiyan, a piece of broken diamond is not worth much, and he can afford to pay for it. At most, it is just an advance of a few months' pocket money.
But, which parents would let a junior high school student wear a diamond ring to school? This diamond ring must be someone else's jewelry, and Xiao Mo always carries it with him because of its commemorative significance.
He could compensate for an identical style, but he couldn't compensate for the original ring.
Brother Tian didn't say much. He just held He Kaiyan's arm with one hand, which hurt him, and used his other hand to pry He Kaiyan's hand that was holding the box.
He Kaiyan hid the box behind him and retreated towards the corner, trying to use the wall to block Tian Ge.
Brother Tian seemed to have become smarter. Since he couldn't grab the item with his hands, he deliberately tried to trip He Kaiyan with his feet. He Kaiyan didn't notice and fell backwards.
Even though he fell to the ground, he still remembered hiding the box.
After several fights, although He Kaiyan was not thin, his strength was still not as good as Tian Ge's.
Brother Tian pried the box from his hand and said breathlessly, "I want to see what's hidden inside that makes you so nervous!"
He Kaiyan suddenly calmed down. This box obviously could not be opened by brute force, but required skills. He hadn't found the trick to open the box, let alone Tian Ge whose brain was as rusty as a rusty one.
The strange thing is that Brother Tian just bent the box lightly and it opened.
He Kaiyan stood up in shock. He vaguely felt a pain in the corner of his forehead, but his excitement had already suppressed the pain.
"This... is this a diamond?" Brother Tian was stunned. "It's so beautiful, and it glows and sparkles... No wonder, no wonder Xiao Mo takes this treasure with him wherever he goes. You say, this thing must be worth a laptop..."
"No, this is not a diamond..." He Kaiyan murmured.
Few people know that the rough diamond is actually more like a piece of transparent rock sugar, rather than the shiny and shiny appearance that people imagine.
This is because the fire of diamonds is not innate, but is dispersed through cutting, which makes the light entering the diamond appear colorful and flaming.
But this gem has not been cut at all. It is a completely rough stone, but it can still emit dazzling light, which means it is not a diamond at all.
"Didn't you say it was a diamond? Why isn't it anymore?" Brother Tian asked puzzledly.
He Kaiyan knew very well that he would not understand if he explained the fire color saturation to him.
He thought for a while and then changed his words, saying, "Because diamonds themselves don't emit light, they only refract other light sources. Refraction, do you understand?"
Brother Tian nodded. The school had strict management and he dared not be absent-minded during class. The physics teacher had explained the meaning of refraction, so he naturally knew it.
He Kaiyan walked to the window and the heavy curtains were drawn. The whole classroom was as dark as a night without lights on.
Even though there was no light in the room, the tiny gem continued to glow, proving that it couldn't be a diamond.
"Wait...your face!" Brother Tian shouted.
"My face?" He Kaiyan was confused. He raised his hand and touched his forehead.
It felt cool and a little moist. He looked at his fingertips and they were bright red!
No wonder Brother Tian was so scared that his face turned pale. It turned out that when the two of them were fighting, He Kaiyan's head hit the step seat in the back row, leaving a big cut.
But he himself did not feel any pain, and he could not understand what was going on.
Brother Tian quickly found some tissues and said, "Quick, quick, wipe it with tissues! I don't want the game console anymore, and please don't tell the teacher!"
He stretched forward the hand holding the tissue, but did not dare to get close to He Kaiyan, for fear that he would shatter like a piece of glass.
Brother Tian usually likes to bully his classmates, but he is also careful about the strength of his blows. This is the first time that he has caused a wound like today.
If He Kaiyan told the teacher, my brother would be punished severely that day.
You cannot drop out of junior high school, and students who have been given serious warnings will be ordered by the teacher to suspend classes for three to six months. During this period, they cannot stay at home and play, but will be sent to the school's corresponding education college, where military management is implemented, just like military training every day.
The military training only lasts fourteen days, and many people find it extremely difficult, let alone three months of military training.
Also, because the competition in their city is fierce, even if the classes are suspended for only three months, they have to review the content of that year again in order to have a chance of being admitted to a regular high school.
When He Kaiyan discovered a large wound on his head, he suddenly felt a little dizzy.
He leaned against the wall and sat down slowly. He then said, "There is a mirror on the table next to the piano. Please bring it to me. Then help me get some water in a paper cup. I have a bag of wet wipes in my bag. Please bring it to me as well."
"Okay, okay, I'll get you whatever you want. Do you want anything else?" Brother Tian hurriedly took out the things he wanted one by one.
The blood oozed out very quickly, and He Kaiyan's entire forehead was dyed red. Brother Tian looked at it for a long time but couldn't see how big the wound was.
He Kaiyan took out an alcohol wipe, wiped the blood around his temple, and disinfected the wound at the same time.
"You... don't you feel any pain?" Brother Tian asked cautiously, "I used alcohol to disinfect it before, and it hurt so much... uh, it hurt like hell!"
He Kaiyan was also puzzled. He estimated that the wound was at least two centimeters wide. How come it didn't hurt at all?
Moreover, no more blood seeped out.
Did his wounds heal that quickly?
He Kaiyan lifted up his loose hair, and the moment he picked up the mirror, he was stunned.
The forehead was as smooth as before, without any wound at all.
He checked carefully several times but did not find any damage on the skin.
If there were no wounds, where did the blood come from?
He looked at it for a long time, and Tian Ge beside him couldn't sit still anymore, so he asked, "What's going on?"
"It's okay, the wound is not serious, I'll go back and take care of it." He Kaiyan said calmly, "Don't worry, I won't tell the teacher."
Brother Tian surrounded He Kaiyan and asked eagerly, "Do you want me to take you home?"
"No need, you go first, I have something else to do." He Kaiyan said.
"Then, am I really leaving? Are you sure you're okay?" Brother Tian was still worried.
He Kaiyan shook his head, indicating that he was really fine, and Tian Ge then left the music classroom.
As soon as he left, He Kaiyan immediately took out the box and looked at it carefully.
For a moment, he wanted to reach out and touch the gem, but he quickly withdrew his hand.
This thing was too dangerous, and he vaguely sensed its function.
However, its real owner, Xiao Mo, did not feel relieved because of it. Instead, he became silent every day and dared not contact other people at all.
Everything has a price, and what is its price?
He Kaiyan didn't want to gamble with his smooth life, but he also didn't want to return the gem to Xiao Mo immediately.
Maybe Xiao Mo has more than one gem in his hand, but if he keeps the gem, it may come in handy for something.
However, he did not notice that the light of the gem had dimmed a little.
The classroom was empty as all the other students had gone home. Fortunately, the classroom door was usually not locked.
He Kaiyan put the box deep into his schoolbag and stuffed today's homework in there as well.
As he left, he glanced to the side as if possessed by a ghost.
Xiao Mo's seat had been pushed over by Brother Tian, and all his books and notes fell out, making a mess on the floor.
Xiao Mo had already packed up all his things. Strangely, he did not take his textbooks and homework home. It seemed that he only took an empty schoolbag.
He Kaiyan had an indescribable feeling, a bit of regret, as well as a bit of worry and confusion.
If only his curiosity wasn't so strong, the thought only lasted for a few seconds and he quickly adjusted his mood.
He carried his schoolbag and left the school just before the security guard locked the door.
As it gets darker, there are more and more people on the road, including many middle-aged people with children.
There was a hint of longing in He Kaiyan's eyes. His father worked on a ship. Although his annual income was considerable, it also meant that his father and his family were rarely together.
He's father went home no more than five times a year, and for several years he spent the Spring Festival on a boat.
Although He Kaiyan's parents provided him with excellent material conditions, it could never make up for what he desired most and was the most scarce thing.
As usual, he went to the convenience store and bought a box lunch, which he heated up in the store's microwave and became almost like a hot home-cooked meal.
After finishing his meal, He Kaiyan took out his homework again.
The convenience store was noisy and the "Welcome" doorbell was particularly harsh, but it made He Kaiyan feel at ease.
He really didn't want to face a home without lights. Perhaps, he should call it the house bought by his parents.
Every time he returned to his empty home, he always felt like he had entered another world, a cold world with no trace of human beings and not even a few colors.
However, just as he was halfway through writing, his cell phone rang.
He picked up the phone and it was actually He's father's voice that came from the other end.
"Xiao Yan, is there any evening self-study in school recently? Ask the teacher for leave and come back early today."
His voice was tired and low, and He Kaiyan's heart skipped a beat. If there was nothing special, He's father would not come home.
But now he asked He Kaiyan to go home early, which means he is at home now.
He Kaiyan couldn't think of any reason that would make his father, who had been working on the ship, return home early.
His tone didn't sound like a happy event. All He Kaiyan could think of was that either his father had made some mistake and was fired by the shipping company, so he had to go home early.
Either...
He shook his head, trying to get rid of his thoughts.
"Xiao Yan, are you listening?"
There was another call from He's father on the other end of the phone. He Kaiyan answered casually, got up and walked out the door.
It is about three kilometers from the convenience store at the school gate to the He family's home, and it usually takes He Kaiyan more than half an hour to walk there.
But today, he felt that the road was particularly short, as if he was already at the doorstep of his home when he was distracted.
He was just about to use the key to open the door, but He's father had already heard his footsteps and opened the door first.
Maybe it was because of the light, but He Kaiyan suddenly felt that his father's temples seemed to have a bit more gray, and his face no longer looked as high-spirited and rosy as it was the last time he came home, but looked much older.
"Xiaoyan, where is your schoolbag?" He's father asked in surprise.
"Backpack?" He Kaiyan subconsciously looked behind him.
Oops, he forgot his schoolbag at the convenience store, and his schoolbag contained the mysterious gem.
He's father did not blame him. Instead, he said patiently, "You didn't bring it back? Forget it. Go get it tomorrow."
"I..." He Kaiyan just opened his mouth but was interrupted by his father again.
He said, "Xiao Yan, you may have to transfer schools again."
"Why?" He Kaiyan didn't understand. The previous times he transferred schools were because of changes in his parents' work locations.
Before settling here, their family of three rented a house, so it would be easy for them to move to another place.
However, the house they live in now was just bought by their parents, which cost most of the couple's savings over the years.
What will happen to the house if they move to a new city?
Father He lowered his head. There were blood marks on the corners of his mouth from his teeth, but he still didn't know how to start.
After a long time, He Kaiyan saw that his eyes were also bright red, and this resolute man uttered a few words with great difficulty.
"Xiao Yan, your mother...something happened to her."
Sure enough, as he expected.
He Kaiyan suddenly calmed down. He knew that if it was because of work, his father would not be so fragile.
Even after buying a large flat, their family's savings are still considerable.
As long as no one develops bad habits, this money is enough for a family of three to live a normal life for five or six years, not including the education funds that the couple has saved for He Kaiyan.
Moreover, Mr. He is not only a sailor, his foreign language skills are also good enough for him to find a job as a tutor.
The only one who could break him was his wife.
Strictly speaking, the He family moved frequently not because He's father was a crew member on a ship, but because of He's mother's job.
She is a botanist. Unlike other professors in the college, her job requires her to go to various cities to enter local vegetation data.
This meant that she had to move to a new city every three to five years.
The couple had no intention of entrusting their child to the elderly at home, so He's mother took He Kaiyan to various cities.
However, a month ago, He's mother entered an uninhabited area for work.
