Tree Hole Self-Rescue Guide

What should I be like? Life is so long...

Classes on the third-year building had already quietly begun, and the second-year building welcomed noisy students, who shuttled back and forth in the crowded crowd. They stopped at the door of each classroom and looked out, looking at the white paper posted on the window, searching for their place of belonging.

I casually placed my schoolbag on the table in the back row, went out to greet my parents at the new classroom, added the contact information of the new class teacher, took the dormitory key assigned according to my student number, and went to the dormitory with my parents to make the bed.

"Hey, Guo Nan, we have a deep bond and we're roommates. Please take care of me in the next two years." The boy with a crew cut pushed open the dormitory door and looked at the boy who had made his bed and was sitting on it folding clothes.

"Yangzi, what a coincidence. I also think we are destined to be together. We even shared the same bunk bed." Guo Nan did not expect to meet his old classmates. After all, everyone would rather study mathematics than choose liberal arts. It would make study and life easier if he could meet his old classmates as companions.

"I thought you, Wang Can, Xu Xiaoxiao and the others all chose science. I met Yang Cheng at that time, and he said that the good students in our class were assigned to Class 4, and our old class teacher became the head teacher. If I had a passion for math and was able to figure it out, I would also go to the science class." Yang Yang climbed onto the upper bunk and was making the bed while talking about the news he heard today.

"Brother Nan, we're here." Gu Ye knocked on the half-open door. He and Wang Can walked in front, each holding a pile of books. Pei Qiubai followed behind with a bag of fruit snacks.

"Guo Nan, who was sitting on the bed, quickly pulled out the plastic box under the bed and put the clothes in it. He then took out a clean sheet and spread it on the bed, then welcomed the person in.

Gu Ye spread the A4 paper on top of the book on the table, put the book down, took the big bag from Pei Qiubai, and took Guo Nan's hand to start introducing the things he brought.

"Brother Wang, Brother Pei, um, you two sit on the bed, Gu Ye and I will sit on the stools." After saying that, he pulled out two round iron stools from under the table and pulled Gu Ye to sit next to the table.

"Brother Pei, Brother Wang, Gu Ye, you are all here." Yangzi greeted them while sitting on the upper bunk.

"Yes, I came to see Brother Nan and see if we are getting along well with our roommates. We feel relieved to see you here." Wang Can winked at Yang Yang. Sitting on the bed covered with blue and white striped sheets.

"We are in the same class and we just help each other. Brother Nan took care of me more before. I will pack my things first and you guys chat." The boy with a crew cut was on the upper bunk, hooking the fourth cupboard on the wall and putting things in it.

"Brother Nan, the books and materials and exercises were found by Sister Mo, Sister Xiaoxiao and Brother Pei based on your learning situation. As for the plan, it only lists the outline. They said that you should learn to write a plan by yourself in the future. After you finish writing it, just show it to them when you have time. Anyway, we are on the fourth floor and you are on the second floor. You can walk in the middle corridor and you will eventually meet each other." Gu Ye pointed to the two piles of books on the table and introduced them. Then he put the white plastic bag on the ground, picked up one plastic bag after another and began to introduce them.

"Next, it's time for the main event. These are grandpa's green apples. We just picked them the day before yesterday. They're sour and sweet and delicious. These are the cucumbers and tomatoes grandma asked me to bring so that you can get more vitamins. These are the pancakes grandma made and the pickled cucumbers she pickled herself. I was going to bring you some milk, but I said you're allergic to milk, so I didn't buy it. Otherwise, we'd be done for today. Grandma asked me to give you a message."

"Nannan, don't just focus on studying and forget to eat. Don't always eat instant noodles when you are hungry at night. It's okay to eat a pancake with pickles. Come to my house and play on the 11th." Gu Ye pinched his throat and imitated Li Yue's gentle voice.

"It's you two who are having dinner tonight, okay? What did you two make up about me to make grandma say that?" Guo Nan asked politely while locking his hands around Gu Ye's neck.

“Hey, that day I was very excited about your good grades, so I told my grandparents about it while chatting in the yard at night. Then I video-called you at around eight or nine in the evening. Your grandparents have a very good impression of you, so they also brought you a back-to-school gift.” Wang Can opened the bag of apples and threw it to Yang Yang who was about to go out.

"Yangzi, take it and eat it on the way."

"Thanks, Brother Nan. I'm going to visit the dormitory to chat with old friends. You wait for me in the dormitory and then I'll go to the classroom." The boy with a crew cut took the apple, turned a corner and went to the bathroom to wash the apple.

"Sister Zhizhi and Xu Xiaoxiao did add a little fuel to the fire. You know how good they are at showing off their words. They exaggerated your real situation a little bit because you are so hardworking and motivated. The two old ladies are kind and sensitive, so they will naturally associate more things with them, but they are good to you, so just accept it. You can also understand it as loving the house and loving the dog." Pei Qiubai sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the flattered Guo Nan. The rabbit was about to be scared back into the hole and hide.

"Yes, grandpa and grandma are very nice people. You can come and study with us during the winter vacation. I will supervise you and Brother Wang in running. By the end of this summer vacation, Brother Wang was able to run five kilometers steadily." Gu Ye responded from the side.

"By the way, did Yang Cheng apologize to you? Fortunately, you and he are not in the same class anymore, otherwise you would be in dire straits again."

"No, and he wanted to make trouble for me during the final exam. He threatened Yangzi on the balcony and left the dormitory door open. I knew everything about his plan. Yangzi and I acted out a big show with him. He may be waiting for Sister Mo to apologize to Lin Jiao." Guo Nan briefly summarized the situation.

Yang Cheng blocked Yang Yang on the balcony during dinner time on the day before the final exam and asked Yang Yang to put laxatives in Guo Nan's thermos. He threatened Yang Yang that if she didn't do what he wanted, Yang Cheng asked his father to fire Yang Yang's mother from the factory, threw down a bag of laxatives and left.

Yang Yang cried for a long time on the balcony, closed the balcony door and prepared to go to the bathroom to wash her face, clean up the dormitory and go to the evening self-study. But Guo Nan, who was sitting beside the bed, stuffed a cup of warm water into her.

Tears burst out again and she hugged Guo Nan and cried.

"Brother Nan, do you think life is so painful? Just because his father is the workshop director, he can fire my mother." One sentence determines the fate of a family.

"This society is sick. What they want is an unchanging class system and they want to arbitrarily control our lives. So when we are out of control, they will desperately poke at our lifelines and ask us to admit defeat."

"I don't want my mother to be laid off, and I also want you to win. Brother Nan, do you have any ideas?" Yang Yang drank hot water to warm his body.

"Yes, just do as he tells you." Guo Nan took out a transparent plastic bag from his pocket, which contained white powder.

"What is this? Brother Nan, you can't hurt yourself."

"Here, milk tea powder. Just put this in my thermos when the time comes. Leave the rest to me. Go wash your face and study, waiting for good news from Brother Nan when school starts."
