This is what you should see

six years ago.

There was a shower at noon, and now the weather is clear, the wind blows through the open windows, and the air-conditioning air is mixed with a refreshing dampness.

Pei Muyin supported his head, and the mask covered most of his face, only revealing a pair of sleepy eyes.

He was slapped in the face in the morning, and the woman's fingernails were scratched with blood, which made half of his face burn and hurt, and he didn't have the heart to study at all.

What was even more annoying was that even though the bell rang for a long time, few students paid attention to it, and they still gathered around a certain desk to laugh and play.

Relying on their being Alpha, they were taller than Omega, grabbed the pencil case and threw each other back and forth.

One of them was distracted and missed, and the pen case fell to the ground with a "snap".

"Aren't you finished?" Pei Muyin raised her eyes and asked.

When those people heard him ask, they immediately stopped and sat down in their seats.

The bullied boy picked up his pen case and quietly turned his head to look at Pei Muyin.

I thought I did it unconsciously, but I didn't expect to meet Pei Muyin's eyes.

The boy was caught off guard for a moment, then hastily looked away.

And Pei Muyin stared openly at the other's thin back for about 2 minutes before turning to look at the lush camphor tree outside the window.

——what's the name?

This Omega looks familiar, it's from the class next door.His mother worked in his house and inquired about the child's situation at school, but he babbled it away in a few words.

Dazed for a long time, I only remembered the nickname called by the nanny, "Yingying", a very sweet name.

Pei Muyin pulled the corner of his mouth, and accidentally pulled the wound on his face, so he cursed secretly, which made the classmate sitting in front of him uneasy for a long time.

They are waiting for the next math test, and the seats are allocated according to the monthly test rankings. This classroom is almost occupied by two key science classes.

The grades this time determine the class placement for the next semester. If you fail the exam, you will be kicked into the regular class.

Before the start of the exam, the atmosphere gradually became tense, and everyone was worried that the questions would be too difficult and the gap would be widened.

The grade director wandered over with the sealed paper in his arms, looking at the people under the podium.

He said slowly: "We are familiar faces to each other, I hope you can still sit here in the third year of high school. Hey, Zhu Ying, why is your face so red?"

Zhu Ying fiddled with the pen case that was broken just now, and said sullenly: "The weather is too hot."

"Don't affect your performance, I look forward to getting your answer sheet approved."

He sat at the first seat by the door, and he was the first in his grade in the monthly exam last time, and he never fell out of the top five.

The competition in the school was fierce, but he never moved out of the row by the window.

After sending out the papers, Zhu Ying was still trying to fix the pencil case, but unfortunately the opening could not be closed, so she had to buy it again.

After wasting 5 minutes like this, he started to read the questions with a calm expression.

"The teaching and research team racked their brains to come up with a topic to celebrate the end of your sophomore year." The director said, "Enjoy the joy of thinking."

He has a very loose attitude towards discipline. Those who can be here are all top students. He feels that he doesn't need to be more disciplined. After half an hour of supervision, he can't be idle.

He took two sips of strong tea and wandered to other examination rooms.

In order to distinguish between high and low levels, the difficulty is set very high this time, and those who do not have a solid foundation will not even be able to do the first question.

But no matter how you catch the blind, you have to bite the bullet.

The remuneration of key classes and ordinary classes is not a little bit different, and the rate of elite schools is also very different.

If you really can't keep your ranking, the most important senior year is over.

After realizing this, many people sweated.

After a while, some Omega gave up struggling, and murmured: "I'm so desperate that the pheromone is almost leaking."

Someone poked Zhu Ying on the back and asked, "Can I copy it for you?"

Most of the students here know each other, apart from Pei Muyin who doesn't care about gossip at all, they all know Zhu Ying.

Their relationship with Zhu Ying is not good. Zhu Ying provoked the school bully when he was in school, and the others were afraid of being angered, so they either avoided him or followed him a few times. They didn't get along very well in the past two years.

It's just that the exam in front of you is not trivial, and everyone wants to stay in the key class.

For Zhu Ying, it is also a good opportunity to improve interpersonal relationships.

Sure enough, Zhu Ying found a post-it note from the pencil case, and filled it with answers to multiple-choice questions and fill-in-the-blank questions.

When there were 5 minutes before the roll was closed, he handed the paper to the man without hesitation.Immediately afterwards, this piece of paper was spread almost all over the class.

After Pei Muyin finished the paper, his deskmate happened to be transcribing the content on the note, so he looked at Zhu Ying playfully.

Zhu Ying turned the pen, straightened her thin back, and then timidly peeked at herself.

It seems that the kitten is making sure that his dried fish has not gone bad.

After the two looked at each other again, Zhu Ying's face blushed again, but her expression seemed to be relieved.

As the volume was approaching, the grade director came back with a smile: "Everyone is more relaxed than I imagined. It seems that everyone has studied well during this time!"

He walked around the room, checking everyone's answer sheets by the way, and occasionally turning to the reverse side to look at the answers.

His face gradually became heavy, and when he returned to the podium, he was already staring with anger.

He slapped the teacup on the table: "Stand up for me who cheated!"

The others looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one responded for a while.

"I'll count down to three seconds. If you don't stand up, I'll ask your parents to come and see how you look!"

"three--"

"two--"

The two girls stood up tremblingly, and one of them was so frightened that he sobbed in a low voice, trembling and apologizing to the teacher.

Another group of people realized what happened after hindsight, and followed suit.

There were chair dragging sounds in the classroom one after another, and the boy's swearing after suddenly realizing it.

He looked at Zhu Ying furiously: "You..."

Zhu Ying was not afraid of his hatred, and gave him a provocative smile, which made the boy feel cold.

Mathematics is the last test, and as soon as it is over, you can enjoy the summer vacation happily. Unfortunately, this time is different from the past.

In the oppressive atmosphere, everyone showed the answer sheets to the director one after another. Some were judged as cheating and stayed here, and some could leave with their schoolbags on their backs.

The director said coldly: "Thanks to your support, it's a virtue to simply hand in a blank paper. Don't you think so? Pei Muyin?"

Pei Muyin was called out, but she didn't panic, she stepped forward to check it calmly.

The grade director took away his paper and scanned it scribbled: "Yesterday, I just missed the Chinese, but this time I did a good job. Sigh, the Chinese teacher can't wait to beat you up!"

Pei Muyin said: "She has already conveyed this wish to my mother."

The grade director said: "That's enough, it's enough to talk to you, so I can go home quickly."

He added: "I made a rough estimate. Zhu Yingshao said that she could pass the [-] exam. Why is it that some people can't even pass the exam by themselves in the same exam room? So the gap between you is so big?"

What Zhu Ying did was not only to calculate the correct answer, but also to accurately find out the error-prone questions.

Those detailed conditions that would be overlooked and complicated steps that are prone to error were all picked out by him and changed into deceptively wrong numbers or options.

There were only a few minutes left when he passed the note, and everyone was flustered and couldn't think about it for long.

Zhu Ying was so good that they couldn't help denying themselves and believing the information on the note.

Several top students overturned their cars at his place, and a large group of people were stunned.

Those who took the exams in other classes came back, and joined in the fun in the corridor, surprised that these people inside were opportunistic, and didn't know if the good grades before were worthwhile.

The scandal spread throughout the school immediately, and Zhu Ying became the center of the topic.

"Is it really because he deliberately wrote the wrong answer? He is too daring to do it! I believe that he and the school bully really had a conflict. I always thought it was unilateral bullying before!"

"Which one is it? What does it look like?"

"The prettiest Omega in the second class of Lizhong..."

Zhu Ying didn't rush to leave after school and went to the administration building.He felt that many people were talking about him along the way, and he lowered his head uncomfortably.

When he arrived at the office, the teacher greeted him as usual.

He signed a form and got a bank card with 2 yuan in it.

This private high school has an enviable enrollment rate, which is comparable to that of the city.In addition to the good quality of teaching, it is also because the school will recruit some very top-notch students.

Zhu Ying belongs to the latter, and will receive a scholarship every semester.

The teacher had already learned about the cheating, and said with a headache: "You don't have to worry about it, I didn't spend money to recruit you. I knew when I recruited students that you must be the best."

She sighed: "The next third year of high school is very important. Don't be led down by those ignorant prodigal sons, spend less time with them and spend more time with them. At least they can gnaw at the old, and you have no way out."

Zhu Ying said: "Don't worry."

"Don't be busy with part-time jobs during the summer vacation. After work, there will be plenty of work for you." The teacher said, "Now concentrate on studying hard."

"Ah."

That being said, in fact, he has already found a job, and he will rush there later.

He bid farewell to the teacher politely, and was about to push the door to leave when the teacher stopped him again.

"I just heard my classmates gossip. Did this collective cheating start from you?"

Zhu Ying was startled, pretending not to hear: "What?"

"It's nothing, I'm going to ask a lot, you can go home quickly." The teacher said, "It's going to be the evening peak later."

The door had already opened a small crack, and when Zhu Ying pushed most of it open, Pei Muyin actually leaned against the wall.

The other party put one hand in his pants pocket casually, and he didn't know how long he had been listening here.

Zhu Ying froze in place, Pei Muyin looked up at him, passed him by, and closed the door with his backhand after entering.

When he came to his senses, another teacher was preaching earnestly.

"Chinese is a subject that can be passed casually, can you give me some face? Your hands are so precious, and reading comprehension can be crippled by writing?"

"Don't think that you can pretend to be dumb by wearing a mask. If you don't write down your guarantee, I won't let you out of school!"

Zhu Ying didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and turned to leave, but she was keenly aware of the conversation around the corner.

It was the voice of a classmate.

"At first I felt sorry for him, he was always isolated and excluded. To be honest, I thought he was very unlucky."

The school bully said: "Oh, then why are you looking for me? Is it to defend him, or do you think he deserves it?"

"Then what, I remember you still hate him..."

He was a bully at school, but he wasn't a gangster who would roll up his sleeves at the slightest disagreement.Even if they didn't deal with Zhu Ying, it didn't develop into a fight.

Zhu Ying's classmate hinted that he would make a move, and he said, "That's fine, you catch him first, I can't catch him."

"It shouldn't be a problem. There are many people who want to teach him a lesson, and some of them are blocking the school gate."

A burst of air-conditioning came from the direction of the office, Pei Muyin came out with a cold face, while Zhu Ying was still there.

Pei Muyin felt a little strange, but he didn't care too much.Unexpectedly, as soon as he left, Zhu Ying followed behind.

I don't have the nerve to explain the cause and effect, it's abnormal sticking.

After leaving the school gate, there were indeed a few students from the same examination room guarding nearby. They were really angry and wanted to trouble him.

Zhu Ying was a little scared, she secretly tightened her clothes, and then glanced at Pei Muyin.

He knew that those people bullied the weak and feared the strong, and they were usually keen to curry favor with the son of a superior family background.For the sake of Pei Muyin's presence, I hope they won't step forward and cause trouble.

"Brother Pei, make way?"

Zhu Ying didn't make a sound to persuade her to stay, nor did she run away, she got a little closer to Pei Muyin.

Pei Muyin didn't look back at his little movements, and said indifferently, "Am I blocking you?"

The other party looked past Pei Muyin to Zhu Ying, and gritted her teeth angrily.

"Don't think about it, you've already paid the protection fee." Pei Muyin said, "Not today."

After the voice fell, Zhu Ying was a little surprised, and couldn't help leaning behind him indulgently.

He was brought to the intersection, and he breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was no enemy following him.

He said, "Thank you."

Pei Muyin didn't intend to reply at first, so she glanced at him inadvertently when she was leaving, and then casually paused in her steps.

"It's okay, because of your blushing so hard."

Zhu Ying: "..."

He touched his cheek, did not dare to refute, and went to the bus station in a daze.

The part-time job I was looking for was at a food stall. In summer, crayfish are very popular. He was soaked in the smell of garlic and thirteen spices, and the school uniform inevitably smelled greasy.

The boss and him are neighbors in the neighborhood, so they take care of him to some extent.The evening shift should be done in the early morning, but he can leave work at midnight.

When he left, he packed a midnight snack and planned to share it with friends in the same courtyard, but he was stopped when he reached the entrance of the alley.

Gu Linlan said: "I've been waiting for you here for a long time, so don't go in for now."

Zhu Ying asked: "What are you doing? The demolition office came to negotiate the acquisition of dilapidated houses?"

The place they lived in was old and out of place in the middle of the bustling city center, like a hole burned in a fine cloth.

It has been said for five or six years that it will be demolished, but it is a pity that it has not been moved.Some residents could no longer bear the dilapidated facilities, and all the rich moved out.

Gu Linlan said: "You are in a good mood today, and you look proud."

Zhu Ying's eyes were erratic, and it seemed that there was something wrong in her heart, but unfortunately she couldn't make up her mind under the questioning.

"Is this being confessed by someone you like, or did you succeed in confessing yourself?"

"Can you think of something that conforms to the school rules? I'm a subsidized student, and if I violate the rules, I will be expelled."

Gu Linlan smiled and said, "Then your high school studies are really boring."

"How could you be so successful? It's rare to go to your school to take the exam, and you can hear Omega discussing you on the way." Zhu Ying teased, "Why are you so popular?"

Although they grew up together and were only assigned to two schools in high school, they have very different personalities.Gu Linlan is naturally gentle and gentle, making people feel close, while Zhu Ying has a sense of distance.

"Probably because I copy the papers for them every time, and I am a father in the class every now and then."

Zhu Ying pouted: "Oh."

They stuttered for supper in the alley, and then several middle-aged alphas with fierce builds came out one after another, carrying paint buckets and sticks in their hands.

Gu Linlan only gave Zhu Ying a hand when the group of people walked away.

Zhu Ying no longer had the smile just now on her face, and she closed her eyes patiently before heading home.

His parents divorced last year, he was sentenced to the woman, and the man left the house for bad behavior.

My mother works as a nanny in a family all year round, and she rarely comes back when she is free, so there is no one at home at the moment.

Fortunately, no one was there.

Zhu Ying looked at the mess at the door of her house, the iron door was smashed and dented, and the words "debt repayment" and threatening graffiti were splashed with paint.

A middle-aged divorced gambler broke his jar and filled in the house where his ex-wife lived.

Zhu Ying had nothing to say, but fortunately the lock cylinder was not damaged, so he could still enter the door.

In the middle of the night, the group of debt collectors came again and smashed the window. Zhu Ying, who was sleeping, did not dare to respond, and curled up on the mat with her mouth covered.

In the end it was Gu Linlan who came out to stop them, but they didn't break in after all.

Gu Linlan asked: "Xiaoying, are you asleep? Do you want to come to my house to avoid the limelight?"

Zhu Ying didn't answer. After a while, she heard the door closing on the opposite side and sat up slowly.

The air conditioner is older than Zhu Ying's, and it has no cooling effect, only the noisy sound of the machine is quite present.

The window was leaking now, and the room was even hotter.

Zhu Ying got up and went to the sink to wash her face, picked up the brush and walked outside the door.

He struggled to remove the paint on the door, from most of the paint, to only a little mark, and finally even the mark almost disappeared.

When it was over, the palm of my hand was already red, and even if I closed it even a little, I could feel the pain in my heart.

He rubbed it masochistically. Although he was used to bearing this in the past, he still couldn't help having fantasies.

It would be great if the protection fee can be continued until now.

He still wanted to hide behind Pei Muyin.
