I Want to be Alone, Beautifully

In the hot sun.

The shadows of the whirling trees cast a large patch of uneven shadows on the edge of the playground, providing shade to the students with their own strength, so even the deepest place of the tree shadows has become a geomantic treasure that needs to be fought for.

Xu Jiao sat on the parallel bars under the shadow of the tree, with her hands propped by her side, her slender legs dangling slightly in the air, and her newly bought white sneakers gave off a strong sense of presence even in the dark where the sunlight was not so strong, as if the whole world She is the coolest.

Because of her sitting posture, the dark school uniform trousers shrunk up slightly, revealing the clean wrist-length socks, and the little black tattoo pattern, only revealing the tip of the iceberg, arousing the infinite reverie of the viewers.

The lively girls from class 1 gathered together under a tree not far away, nudged their companions with their elbows, and said softly, "Hey, look at Xu Jiao's right foot, is that a tattoo?"

"Really? I heard that she had her ears pierced in junior high school and got into a group fight. Isn't it normal to have tattoos?"

"Her skin is so fair. From this side, the pattern on her feet looks very pretty. Does anyone know what her tattoo is?"

"Where do I dare to ask, hey, didn't Shen Yelan from our class had been at the same table with her in class 7 for a few days? Go ask Shen Yelan, maybe she just met her, because this semester Classes 7 and 20 are swimming lessons."

"Makes sense!"

The speaker suddenly realized, his eyes wandered around, and after a while, he saw the target under another tree, and immediately walked quickly through the hot area between the two trees, walked in front of Shen Yelan, and squatted down with his arms folded Come down and say:

"Hey."

Shen Yelan looked up from the book, and looked at the person who came by quietly, as if silently asking something.

"Do you know that Xu Jiao has a tattoo on her foot?" the girl asked.

Shen Yelan's eyes turned slightly to the side, and then, she moved her lips, and slowly said three words: "I don't know."

The visitor suddenly showed a little disappointment, "Ah, I wanted to ask you if you have seen it and what it looks like if you have seen it, but forget it, you, a college bully who only has eyes for books, won't understand. "

The other party got up and left without interest.

in situ.

Shen Yelan still maintained the posture of raising her head from the book, after an unknown period of time, she raised her eyes to look in the direction of the parallel bars.

The scorching wind brings the smell of plastic track, and the smell of plastic particles mixed with sweat after exposure to the sun is particularly unpleasant, and the sun even gives them a layer of rich connotation with the temperature.

But Shen Yelan wasn't moved. His gaze passed through a few people who were doing stretching exercises nearby while relaxing their muscles after long-distance running, and landed on the figure on the parallel bars tepidly.

To be precise, it landed on the opponent's right foot.

There was a voice again.

"Liar liar."

The person who was exactly the same as the figure on the parallel bars stood beside her, with a smile on his face, half bent down, and gently scolded her in an almost intimate tone.

Shen Yelan didn't even turn her eyes there, and calmly said in her heart:

hallucinations.

This is fake.

As if aware of her indifference, the person standing next to her leaned closer to Shen Yelan's ear, as if the breath of her words was sprayed on her ear, she heard the other party using that seemingly With a cold tone, he uttered a particularly attractive sentence:

"Obviously you've seen my tattoo, why are you lying?"

After a pause, the person next to the ear chuckled narrowly, the sound passed through the ear canal, and hit Shen Yelan's heart directly, like a light feather falling on the ground, it also stirred up a little dust-like movement.

Then, Shen Yelan heard her exhale and say in a serene voice: "You not only watched it, but you also bit it, didn't you?"

Hear this sentence——

Shen Yelan's pupils shrank suddenly.

She suddenly closed the book in her hand, got up and strode towards the teaching building, as if if she stayed where she was for another second, something big would happen.

The voice that had pierced her heart followed her like a shadow, and said with a smile behind her, "I can't take it anymore? I have something more to say."

As if intending to provoke Shen Yelan, the person behind him deliberately prolonged his voice, and said slowly as if torturing her: "Which one of your dreams was not more intense than what I said? For example, last night..."

At that time, Shen Yelan happened to walk to the shade of the deserted teaching building.

Now it is the class time, the non-physical education classes are all in the classroom, and the class 1 practice is running, now the teacher let them free activities, in principle, as long as the class 1 students do not disturb other classes, You can wander around the campus in moderation.

Standing by the small bamboo forest on campus, she smelled the faint fragrance and refreshing coolness, and said in a steady voice:

"To shut up."

Shen Yelan stared at the face in front of her that was no different from the person in her heart. There was extreme depression in her deep black eyes, and because she suppressed all the madness, her face appeared as calm as an ancient well without waves.

"You fake," she said.

Hearing this sentence, "Xu Jiao" in front of her showed a smile, neither annoyed nor annoyed, she just tilted her head to look at her, her expression seemed innocent, yet cruel, she gave Shen Yelan a soft "Oh", teasingly Opening:

"The one on the playground just now is real, why don't you see it?"

Shen Yelan's eyes are half-closed, and her eyes only stay on the ground in front of her. The school paves the road here with small white tiles in four squares, with blue stripes. Each of the small tiles has irregular bumps and ups and downs. The fundus has spread out of sight.

She did not answer this sentence.

However, the other party was relentless: "Again, you know I'm fake, why did you keep me here? Some time ago, you passed by the hospital, didn't you go in in the end?"

"Shen Yelan, don't you know why I can continue to wander in front of your eyes?"

"Because you are a poor little one, and you can't reach that one at all, so you keep my delusional thoughts. You like to see me seduce you like this, and satisfy your heart that you can't ask for, don't you?"

Shen Yelan's eyelashes trembled, she uttered again, the same two words: "Shut up."

But for some reason, her voice is a little hoarse now.

It's like a string that has been stretched to the extreme, as long as one exerts a little more force, it will suddenly break, which contains an inexplicable sense of fragility.

"Xu Jiao" walked in front of her step by step, raised her hand, and put the tip of her right finger on her chin, obviously feeling nothing, but Shen Yelan couldn't help raising her head slightly, and looked into the smiling eyes of the other party from a close distance inside.

"It's not easy to shut me up? You just need to wave your hand lightly, or grab my neck—"

The other party deliberately lowered his voice, as if sharing some secret with her, but the words he spit out were particularly terrifying.

Shen Yelan closed her eyes fiercely, took half a step back in embarrassment, her breathing became heavier, her whole body seemed to be divided into two halves by the voice, one half clamored to destroy this defective product, while the other half desperately tried to dissuade it .

"Fakes don't have to exist."

"No, you can't hurt her. If you dare to do something to her today, if you can't distinguish her from Sister Xu Jiao someday, are you going to kill Sister Xu Jiao as well?"

The two voices kept arguing in Shen Yelan's mind.

She shook her head hard, and kept silently reciting the ancient poems that must be memorized in her heart, trying her best to calm herself down, otherwise the voices would only become more and more chaotic.

Calm down, Shen Yelan.

You can't be a lunatic.

……

"The blackening value of the heroine has been detected... 20."

Near the original playground.

Xu Jiao's leisurely and comfortable appearance paused for a moment. Then, she sat up straight, jumped off the horizontal bar, and stood firmly on the ground. She narrowed her eyes and glanced at every corner of the playground under the golden sunlight. corner.

As expected, she didn't see Shen Yelan's figure again.

If she remembered correctly, this person was still around before, did she meet someone else?

Xu Jiao's eyes showed some thoughtful expression, and she asked in her heart as she walked out:

"Isn't she in danger this time? System, you can't go on like this. Before, you issued missions and yelled at me to save you. Now the heroine has been blackened twice under your nose. How can you do that?" No reaction at all?"

system:"……"

It replied in a flat tone: "Because this system can only detect events that pose a threat to the heroine, as long as what happens can be handled by Shen Yelan's ability, it will not be included in the detection range, and naturally you are not needed." s help."

Xu Jiao smiled lukewarmly, and asked again: "Then explain, what is this blackening value?"

System: "This value detects the deviation between the protagonist's character and the original. The greater the deviation, the more evil it tends to be. The higher the value, the more difficult it is to achieve the HE achievement at the same time, and the farther away from our revised ending goal."

Xu Jiao was quiet for a few seconds, and asked patiently: "I mean, explain to me why Shen Yelan became black!"

Compared with Xu Jiao's ignorance, the system is still very calm, calm and almost leisurely: "Sorry, I can't find out the specific reason, please continue to work hard on the host."

Xu Jiao: "..."

spicy chicken.

She cursed secretly in her heart, and at the same time, she headed towards the classroom. If she was not mistaken, Shen Yelan should take advantage of the free time to study the questions.

as predicted--

After she returned to Class 1 classroom, there was a familiar figure doing the problem within sight.

It was Shen Yelan.

Xu Jiao leaned against the wall by the back door, casually picked up a bottle of drink from her desk in the last row, unscrewed the bottle cap and looked left and right. Blackened.

Is it...

The topic is too difficult?

Is it hard for Shen Yelan to cry?Made her despair of studying?So you want to take revenge on society?

Xu Jiao took a sip of peach soda, tasted the taste of carbonated water on the tip of her tongue, stared at Shen Yelan quietly for a while, and suddenly asked from the bottom of her heart: "How much does she like me?"

The system responded quickly this time: "90."

Xu Jiao muttered to herself.

90.

How can we help Shen Yelan reduce her blackening value without increasing her favorability?

……

after lunch break.

Shen Yelan went out to get a cup of hot water. As soon as she returned to her seat, she found a small note on her desk, on which a few words were twisted and twisted:

"Are you staying up late at night? Are you still feeling sad about the unresolved knot in your heart? Are you dreaming about it and vowing to find the ultimate answer in your heart?"

Shen Yelan: "...?"

Who is playing a prank?

She looked around and found that the people in the classroom were either sleeping or doing quizzes, and no one seemed so bored.

and……

People in class 1 really can't write such ugly characters.

She glanced down and saw the second post-it note: "I have everything you want :)" followed by a note.

Shen Yelan frowned even tighter.

Throwing the note in her hand into the drawer, she continued to work with her head down, ignoring the strange voices that appeared in her ears from time to time.

until that night.

Shen Yelan suffered from insomnia because of her mood swings too much. She wanted to have a good rest, but she was also afraid of dreaming about those strange things again, which would deepen the greed in her heart.

She tossed and turned for a while, and suddenly remembered those little notes during the day.

Maybe there is some chicken soup for the soul that can heal herself, she thought.

Relying on her good memory, Shen Yelan recalled the contents of the note, and took out a new mobile phone from under the pillow - the previous one was broken when Dongqing beat her up, and the other party gave it to her out of guilt. She got a new one, and now she is also able to use her mobile phone to surf the Internet.

After typing line by line, Xu Jiao took a deep breath, watched the webpage slowly load, and waited for some words such as "What you see is darkness, you are darkness, and you always yearn for light, you are also light". Class words.

After a few seconds——

Web page bounced.

There are various sections inside, if you look at it casually, one of the lines reads:

"National Mathematics Olympiad Over the Years"

Her eyes moved, and she saw "Interesting Physical Principles in Life", "Recite a Thousand Ancient Chinese Poems", "English Listening Simulation for CET-[-] and CET-[-]"...

Shen Yelan: "..."

She threw the phone back under the pillow and continued to toss and turn.

……

in the master bedroom.

Two in the morning.

The sound of the system woke Xu Jiao up from her sleep: "The darkening value of the main character has been detected, 25."

Xu Jiao didn't even open her eyes, she let out a bewildered "hmm", and fell asleep again, the content of the system slowly entered her brain processing system in a chaotic state of consciousness.

After a while, she reacted suddenly, and the voice in the room was both complaining and shocked:

"Isn't it?!"

"How difficult is she doing?"
