I Want to be Alone, Beautifully

"Shaking M, do you know! It's just like her!"

Su Xi's voice was so loud that it echoed throughout the living room, even Shen Yelan, who came out of the bathroom and was about to pour a glass of water, could hear it clearly.

Perhaps it was because of his usually not lively personality, when Shen Yelan looked at people calmly, his calm, dark eyes always gave people an inexplicable pressure.

Lu Pei has always hated the look in her eyes.

Now when Su Xi finished speaking and turned around, she was shocked by the sudden gaze from the other party. On the one hand, she was a little guilty, and on the other hand, for some reason, she always felt that she just saw Xu Jiao for a moment.

Su Xi was shocked by her own associations and shivered. In addition, she was caught saying bad things about people behind her back. For the first time, she chose to actively avoid Shen Yelan, silently, almost desperate He returned to the sofa quickly, picked up the pen and bit the cap, pretending to be doing a question.

Shen Yelan raised her hand to fasten the decorative belt on the black shorts, glanced at Su Xi lightly, moved her fingertips flexibly on the black belt, and walked silently to the wall-mounted water dispenser after a long while. Pour yourself a glass of water.

Realizing that her back was facing this side, Su Xi quietly raised her eyes and looked over, thinking in confusion:

Is Shen Yelan angry?

Or is he used to being bullied by others at school, so he is immune to such words?

But to be honest, if she heard someone talking about her behind her back, she would definitely be angry, after all, she would go over and flatten that guy to find his teeth.

Su Xi bit her pen and struggled for a while, and finally decided not to make things difficult for herself, and took the initiative to say:

"Hey."

Shen Yelan stopped drinking water for a moment, and looked over with a sideways face.

Su Xi's eyes wandered, a little uncomfortable, and her voice was erratic, showing a little awkwardness: "The one I just said..."

At this point, she paused, as if she wanted to apologize, but also as if she wanted to quibble.

Shen Yelan could hear her entanglement from her voice. Thinking of the relationship between this guy and Xu Jiao, she slightly pursed her lips, spread the cool moisture on her lips, and said lightly:

"What? I didn't hear."

Su Xi breathed a sigh of relief. She wasn't the type who would take the initiative to apologize to others. If Xu Jiao hadn't told her that this person was a guest last time, she wouldn't even have been entangled just now.

The hand holding the pen waved at the other party, and Su Xi immediately said: "It's okay! It's nothing!"

Best not heard.

She put this matter behind her in an instant, bowed her head and slammed into that evil topic with true feelings.

Instead, it was Shen Yelan. She returned to the room with the cup in her hand. After closing the door, she was not in a hurry to return to the table with the books spread out. She pressed her back against the cold wooden door of the bedroom and took a deep breath.

What Su Xi said to her just now is still echoing in her mind.

But she is not angry.

Because she knew that her mind... was much scarier than what Su Xi described.

Shen Yelan didn't have any strange thoughts about herself, but——

Have delusional thoughts about another person.

Especially recently, as she learned more and more skills from Dongqing, the things she dreamed at night became more and more outrageous.

She took another sip of cold water, calmed down, let out a breath slowly, and waited for her mind to calm down before returning to the desk and burying herself in the boundless sea of ​​learning.

……

The light blue curtains fluttered slowly with the wind blowing through the cracks in the windows.

The warm light illuminates the human skin into milky white, a kind of white with porcelain light, once the eyes touch it, they can't turn away again.

Shen Yelan stared at the person in front of her, the panic, excitement and bewilderment of the first dream were gone in her eyes, but an expected calm.

Again.

she thinks.

But even though she had dreamed about it many times, she still couldn't resist this person, she didn't even need to look in the mirror to know that the look in her eyes at this moment must be obsessed and greedy.

Shen Yelan walked slowly to the side of the bed, watching the silky and smooth black hair falling from the back of the neck of the person on the bed, and falling into the folds of the quilt, the thin quilt couldn't cover the person The smooth shoulders even allowed her to see the other person's shoulder sockets.

She held her breath and looked at the small group of lights on the round shoulders of the other party, as if welcoming an unknown surprise, she slowed down.

The edge of the bed sank a little due to the extra weight, before Shen Yelan got close, she heard the man's cold voice: "Are you here?"

Shen Yelan didn't know why she was here, and couldn't remember how it all happened, but she took it without any sense of disobedience: "Yes."

The person lying in the quilt moved, her face was turned sideways, some of the messy hair fell on her face, and some of it was lying on her neck and collarbone. I don't know what kind of bright red clothing it is.

But this is not what attracts Shen Yelan the most.

The other party didn't know whether he drank too much or something, his face was flushed, and his usually calm eyes were also blurred, as if he was about to cry at any time, but when he looked carefully, there was not much moisture in his eyes.

Shen Yelan heard a "grunt" in her throat.

Her voice was inexplicably hoarse and soft, as if she was afraid of alarming something: "Sister Xu Jiao... What's wrong with you?"

Xu Jiao looked at her and raised her neck slightly so that Shen Yelan could see more clearly.

Only then did Shen Yelan discover——

The other party's neck is not made of any clothing material.

Instead, the red string.

It bypassed it in a strange way, and the remaining part got into the quilt, making it impossible for people to see clearly.

Too bright colors will always give people a strong sense of shock, Shen Yelan almost instantly recalled the thorn tattoo on Xu Jiao's ankle, the two have the same reason.

Thinking of the pattern of the tattoo, even in a dream, Shen Yelan could feel her heart beating twice strangely.

She heard Xu Jiao say in that indifferent voice: "This, help me untie it."

When Shen Yelan heard her voice, her throat felt dry, and she harbored some ulterior motives. She wanted to meet the cross and thorns pattern, but she couldn't bear to refuse Xu Jiao's request.

So in the end, she stretched out the index finger of her right hand and gently hooked the crimson rope around the fragile neck of the other party. She thought she could pick out the rest, but unexpectedly, the person in the bed was like a fish on a chopping board Seemingly, he followed her strength and raised his neck in vain.

A strange sound came out of his mouth.

It's like a muffled hum, and it's like an extremely suppressed nasal sound.

It was just a very soft voice, but it shocked Shen Yelan, subconsciously let go of the first knuckles that were holding the rope, and the force was removed, allowing Xu Jiao to lie back on the bed again.

Shen Yelan let go of her hand like a frightened bird. The next moment, she didn't know what to think of based on the traces of the rope, and suddenly raised her hand to reach the corner of the quilt, and then, bit by bit, opened it——

……

"Di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di, di-di-di-di!"

The harsh alarm clock rang.

Shen Yelan opened her eyes suddenly, and raised her hand to reach for the clamoring alarm clock on the table, but because she waved her hand too much, she accidentally patted the iron shell of the alarm clock, and hit the thing on the ground with a "slap", but the little But the iron box didn't shut up because of this, and screamed more cheerfully, making the nerves in people's brains twitch.

The pain from her finger, and everything in this dark room reminded her:

Everything just now was just a dream.

Those beauties slowly evaporated into the air along with the thin sweat on her temples.

Shen Yelan exhaled lightly, raised her hand to turn on the light, leaned over to pick up the alarm clock, flipped the switch of the ringing bell, and turned off the noisy movement.

Another new day.

If there's one new change in life, it's that...

In the previous monthly exam, she performed normally and returned to the first class.

Also, Xu Jiao also arrived in the first class.

Hearing that Xu Jiao had applied for the transfer from a sports student to a liberal arts student, there were gradually more strange rumors in the grade, such as "a generation of school bullies were hurt by love, and they learned from the pain to devote themselves to the cultural construction of the motherland", "people who fight hard After all, I still need to learn", "It turns out that it is true that I am frustrated in love and passed the exam"...

The most outrageous thing is that some people say that Xu Jiao had an epiphany overnight because she was at the same table with Shen Yelan, a nerd in Class 7, and finally felt the joy of studying.

Shen Yelan scoffed at the last statement.

But in any case, thanks to these outrageous rumors, after returning to class one, her life is much more peaceful than before, it can be called a peace.

Even Lu Pei, who was always unhappy with her before, seemed to be frightened by the previous Xu Jiao, shrinking into a transparent person in the corner of the classroom every day, for fear that Xu Jiao would see it.

Only very occasionally, Shen Yelan would find that Lu Pei always quietly looked at him with that kind of hostile gaze.

If it was in the past, she would start to worry about what the other party was doing.

But now, there is only peace in Shen Yelan's heart.

……

"Brother, is it necessary for us to come here so early? Everyone in our society has a nightlife, so why don't we come here after school?"

"You know what a fart, my elder brother said, there are many people after school, what if I miss it and let that chick run away?"

"Hey, but I haven't slept all night. I'm so sleepy. I drank too much last night... No, do we really need so many people? A bunch of old men, guarding a female student with this [-]th middle school. It's a joke to spread."

"What a joke, I didn't hear what my elder brother said. Last time she killed a dozen people by herself. Don't treat that guy as a girl. Maybe it's a tigress. Let me think about it. What's the name of that tigress?" Come on, jiao, what jiao?"

In the alley near the school gate, several men with colorful tattoos on their arms were talking at a distance, and the smoke entangled with each other, and the electric pole that was leaning on it was smoked out. Fairy-like mysterious.

At this moment, a reminder came from nowhere:

"Xu Jiao?"

One of them patted his thigh: "Hey! That's right! That's the name."

After he finished speaking, he thought about it carefully, no, the one who spoke just now seemed to be a female voice, where did they get a woman here?

Several people looked back at the same time.

What I saw was a schoolgirl carrying a schoolbag and neatly dressed in school uniform.

Judging from their experience of meeting people, this student seemed to have been bullied a lot in school, even with a faint cowardice in his face, he was the type best to be threatened.

The man who hadn't guessed Xu Jiao before took two steps forward, smoking a cigarette, and smiling, the lines in his brows and eyes were crowded together, as if he was worried about scaring people away, he said vaguely asked:

"Are you a student in Eighteenth Middle School?"

"Why, do you know Xu Jiao?"

"Exactly, brothers have a favor and need your help—"

Before he finished speaking, Shen Yelan had already guessed the whole story from their previous chat. It should be the time when he accidentally broke into the group fight scene. The girl who left on the other side hated Xu Jiao. Last time She and Xu Jiao didn't give up even though she brought someone here, but this time more men were called.

So despicable.

she thought blankly.

But that's fine too, it happened that she just woke up from a sweet dream and was in a bad mood, so while helping Xu Jiao solve these troubles, she could also calm her heart a little.

Next, several members watched helplessly as the female students in front of them suddenly put down their schoolbags, and even took off their thin school uniform jackets, revealing their white arms.

next second.

The cowardly man smiled at them, and said, "It's just right, I need my brothers to help me as well."

Social shakers: "???"

Someone answered curiously: "Hey? You even made a request, tell me, what do you want your brother to do?"

Shen Yelan looked over with her dark eyes, and said without any ups and downs in her tone:

"Brothers, please finish the beating later, remember that the person who beat you is called Shen Yelan."

"If you want to move Xu Jiao, you have to pass Shen Yelan first."

……

After ten minutes.

Shen Yelan came out of the alley, raised her hand to support the wall next to her, and shook her head slightly.

Still too much food.

She thought, if Holly was here, she should have walked out unscathed, right?

It wouldn't be like her to take a blunt blow.

Not to mention, Banzhuan's head hurts.

Shen Yelan was a little dizzy, closed her eyes, and took a rest on the spot. Suddenly, she heard a drawn-out call in front of her:

"Yo, Shen Yelan, you're here, it just happens to be—"

It was Lu Pei's voice.

Almost forgot, this man got off his uncle's car and really had to walk this way to school.

But she's impatient with this guy now.

Shen Yelan opened her eyes a little irritatedly, and looked at it with just one look, which made Lu Pei swallow the rest of her words. Then, the person in front of her suddenly widened her eyes in surprise, and pointed behind her:

"This, what is this? Blood? My God, Shen Yelan, you are finished, did you kill someone?"

Shen Yelan's tone was irritable: "If you don't want to die, get out."

Lu Pei kept backing away, tripped over a slightly higher step on the sidewalk, and fell to the ground, but even so, she didn't dare to stay any longer, and ran towards the school in a stumble, looking back while looking back, as if there was someone behind. It's like a ghost is chasing her.

Shen Yelan had a severe headache. Seeing that the annoying guy had left, she simply squatted down and prepared to go to school after a while.

She closed her eyes again.

I don't know how long it has passed.

Another gentle, soft voice appeared in front of him:

"What's wrong with you?"

The moment she heard this voice, Shen Yelan froze for a moment, and instinctively thought in her heart: Impossible, Xu Jiao obviously didn't take this way to go to school, how could she be here?

and……

If she remembered correctly, Xu Jiao hadn't taken the initiative to talk to her for a long time.

She opened her eyes a little nervously, but also a little dazedly, and saw the girl who was facing the light in front of her and was wearing a dress on Monday. The girl's hair had turned dark brown under the golden sun, as if it would glow, and she was still very beautiful.

Shen Yelan murmured: "Xu Jiao...sister?"

Before she could ask why the other party appeared here, the man stretched out his hand to her and said with a smile, "Get up, why are you squatting here?"

Hearing these caring words, Shen Yelan suddenly felt a little wronged.

Maybe it's because her head hurts too much, or maybe she's been left out for too long. At this moment, she really wanted to ask:

Why are you ignoring me?

The sockets of her eyes were inexplicably red, and she stretched out her hand trembling slightly, trying to grab the warmth from the other party again——

then……

She caught a blank.

The person in front of him suddenly disappeared, leaving only the sunlight on the ground, exuding the heat of the past.

Shen Yelan remained in the posture of raising her hand to hold it in a daze.

After a long time, she said in disbelief, "Xu... Sister Jiao?"

No one answered.

Only the headache got worse and worse.

Shen Yelan's heart seemed to have been ripped open suddenly, the air leaked out, and the sense of loss became more and more obvious.

She murmured, "A hallucination?"

Shen Yelan closed her eyes and kept taking deep breaths, trying to dispel this strange feeling, and then...she heard that voice again, it seemed to be wearing a gentle mask, but it was actually extremely calm, no one could guess Express the other party's true thoughts.

"Shen Yelan," the voice was a little closer to her this time, playing in her ears like a prank.

Shen Yelan knew it was fake, but she still couldn't help opening her eyes to look at it. Seeing the man squatting beside her with great interest, she raised her hand and pulled her hair, and asked her with a smile:

"Do you like me?"

……

Classroom 1.

The person who was reciting words suddenly heard a mechanical voice in his mind:

"It is detected that the heroine has a blackening value, and the current value is... 10."

The person holding the book suddenly tightened his movements, leaving traces on the pages. Xu Jiao raised her eyes to look in the classroom, but found that she did not see Shen Yelan.

She let go of her hand, stared at the new creases on the page, and asked in her heart: "What? Blackening value? Did something happen to her again?"

Why did it suddenly turn black?
