Chess Game: Villain, place your bets

Dong Huayu stopped crying and froze in place. She lay on her back, her eyes gradually losing focus, and many memories rushed into her brain. It turned out that that person also died because of her...

------

"Cen...ah, Qin Shi...Xuan."

"what happened?"

Donghua was stunned, this name...

"Ang, it's okay. I just looked up it in the dictionary. Xuan means indifferent, tranquil, peaceful and joyful. Your name is very meaningful and sounds good."

"You complimented my name again, hahaha, yours sounds nice too! Didn't you mean to commemorate your birth day? If it rained on the day of your birth, it would be called 'Yu'."

"um, yes."

Her name really has no meaning. If it rained on the day she was born, she would be called "Yu". If it was sunny, she would be called "Donghua Qing". If there was thunder, she would be called "Donghua Lei". It is too simple.

She is not as lucky as her deskmate, nor does she have a good personality or good looks. Yesterday, she was maliciously nicknamed "Dalmatian" by her classmates because she came to school in the rain and had mud spots on her body.

It’s not just once or twice. There were other "ugly girls", "school belles (jokes)", "fat mice", "small-minded monsters" and "baboons (with lots of body hair)"... She could only endure it. She was used to enduring it and had never resisted...

She will always have to endure...

But her deskmate was different. He spoke directly for her, and everyone around him was booing.

"What, are you dating each other?"

"Don't say, a fool who mates with a dog will last forever! Hahaha"

"It's so funny! Dalmatian, you are in luck!!"

Donghua lowered his head and endured silently.

This time, instead of being bullied as usual, Qin Shixuan stood up.

"Hey! You guys are going too far! Who is a dog? You are more like a dog! You are ugly and no one likes or loves you!"

"What! How dare you scold me?"

This is the first time in her life that a girl has been verbally humiliated by others. It feels unbelievable. Her parents didn't actually have much education. Her family got a lot of money from the demolition, and they became rich with this money. However, her parents were very spoiled by her, and she often regarded herself as aloof and felt that she was the same as the upper class. Of course, those in the ranks are somewhat arrogant.

In a run-down school like this in a small county town, the students around her are like family members. Very few people have been abroad like her. Her travel photo albums are passed around by everyone and are their only way to see the world.

Everyone held her up and envied the foreign scenery she described, which was a place that poor children like them could never reach.

She has money, she has a lot of money, everyone should come to please her, why does this person dare to contradict her? His family also lives in a 'slum', so where does he have the confidence to call her ugly? !

The girl became even more angry and called a few people to continue scolding these two people.

Seeing how brave her deskmate was, Donghua didn't seem to be very scared anymore. She bit her tongue and resisted with her unchanged "elementary schoolboy" voice.

"Are all rich people as immoral as you? Are you always laughing at others? What do you think of yourself!"

The girl didn't expect that this ugly girl who had always been submissive would dare to speak back. She always bullied the weak and was afraid of the strong, but she couldn't lose face. She pretended to be calm and said:

"You're done, wait until after school!"

Donghua glared at her fiercely. It was better to have a fight than to remain cowardly!

However, when they sat on the swing in the park, she became discouraged and regretted having offended the domineering girl. It didn't matter to her that she was bullied, she was used to it, but she felt very sorry for Qin Shixuan.

"You can go first in a while! I have to go to the bookstore and I have to go home late..."

"Bookstore? I'll go too!"

"I don't want to go, I'm going home first."

"Let's go together!"

"No" Donghua jumped off the swing and wanted to leave. She was really afraid that such a new friend would leave her, but she was even more afraid that he would be hurt because of her. The long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain, so she should break up with him now!

Before she opened her mouth, Qin Shixuan guessed what she was thinking.

"Are you afraid that they will cause trouble for me? Do you think I, a grown man, can be afraid of those skinny guys? It doesn't matter who bullies whom~" As he spoke, he stretched out his arms to show off his non-existent "muscles".

Donghua was smiling, but she was crying in her heart, and her voice was filled with tears:

"Qin Shixuan, why are you friends with me?"

Her voice was so soft that Qin Shixuan, who was swinging on the swing, immediately stopped and asked again.

"How...why are you playing with me? Everyone else ignores me..."

[I'm weird, stingy, and ugly... I'm not good at studying... My family background... is not good... You are the only one in the class who will talk to me...]

"Then you think I should play with them? But please spare me! I'm an old man, and anyone who plays with me will be infected and become a fool!"

"No! You are obviously very smart. You can do it much faster than me. But I don't understand why you always get behind me in the test..."

The biggest thing the two have in common is that their grades are not good. Qin Shixuan ranked last in Wannian, and Donghua Yu ranked second. People in the class called them the "idiot duo." With the two of them guarding it, no one can take the last or second place anymore.

"Because - because - I - prefer - science - ah -" Qin Shixuan, the old man on the swing, struggled to speak.

Donghua still doesn’t believe it, who can score zero on the Chinese language test! Whenever you write a composition...does it come to nothing?

The Chinese teacher is extremely strict, how can he be so brave!

That evening Donghua went home with Qin Shixuan. The two lived close to each other and happened to be in the same car.

Donghua was very happy when she returned home. She wrote in her diary:

Tuesday, May 5 Sunny

My mood is sunny today too! (draw a sun)

The new boy in our class became my friend! My only friend! He helped me talk and went to and from school with me. I never dreamed that I could have a friend who didn't think I was ugly and even refuted those classmates who laughed at me. He was so brave. I wanted to be like him.

But today I am really brave because of him, I stood up to Zhang Xin! Her face turned red, hahaha, this feels so good, but it’s a pity that I’m not really brave...

Donghua quickly closed the diary. She turned around and found that the door to the room was open. She hid the diary and secretly sent a text message to Qin Shixuan: I feel that my parents are no longer my parents.

That door cannot be locked. She had a history of suicide, which led her parents to remove the locks from the door out of concern for her safety.

She is not as confused as before. There is light in her life, and there is no longer endless darkness. Even if it is a little starlight, she will not fall.

Qin Shixuan didn't reply for a long time, so Donghua deleted the text message records and fell asleep.

From now on, she can also have friendships, and she can no longer be lonely.

Tonight's dream is particularly beautiful...

"What did you mean last night?"

"My parents said that I was in a car accident when I was a child and lost some memories, but I vaguely feel that they are not my parents, or I am not close to them. It's not that I am suspicious, I really feel that they don't care about me at all, they... I used to be a little depressed, and they said I could just stay at school more, and they didn't care about my feelings at all. I told them many times that I felt very sad, but they didn't believe me..."

"And my room couldn't be locked. They broke the door lock. One time I came home and found that my diary had black fingerprints on it. I never read my diary without washing my hands, so I stopped writing secrets in my diary from then on. "

Qin Shixuan looked at her and rubbed his arms meaningfully.

"How scary! How old were you when the car accident you mentioned happened?"

"About four or five years old. I had a poor memory when I was a kid. I didn't start remembering things until I was in third grade."

Qin Shixuan nodded, comforted her and continued class.

A beam of light appeared in Dong Huayu's life. This beam of light was different from her fantasy. He existed in real life and could protect her and make her brave.

In the days to come, she was no longer alone. Qin Shixuan was always with her.

"I'll give you some oranges~"

--"thanks, thanks!"

"How many more tests did you take this time?"

——"It's still the same, second to last, shouldn't you..."

"Ha, I'm third from the bottom!"

——"You've made progress! Have you written an essay?"

"I didn't write it..."

——"You are so brave..."

"Your pen is very nice. Where did you buy it? Let me use it with you instead!"

--"OK."

"I still think it's amazing that you write with your left hand. It's really smooth! It's so cool! My mother said that people who write with their left hand are very smart!"

——"It doesn't seem to be very smart...second to none..."

"Well, maybe you haven't figured it out yet, but once you figure it out, people will be super powerful!"

——"Really, I hope that day comes earlier so that I can also get third place in the exam!"

"I can do it, I will definitely do it! Please teach me how to write with my left hand. I want to be cool too!"

——"Isn't it cool... It's the same as holding a pen in your right hand. The thumb and index finger hold the pen holder at the top, and the middle finger holds it at the bottom... You learn quickly!"

But as soon as I started writing, the handwriting was crooked, like an ant crawling.

"Hahaha, no, no, I have no talent!"

Talent... It was the first time Donghua heard someone call her alternative "talent", and the hole in her heart was filled. warm.
