One day when he was cleaning the chemistry classroom, Pingliang was suddenly bumped from behind by a boy, and the freshly washed flask was almost broken.The boy who hit him just said "sorry" perfunctorily.

"Miki, don't bully little p"

"I didn't bully him. It's just that I didn't stand firm and accidentally bumped into him."

"Nonsense, you obviously did it on purpose just now. Little P is so pitiful."

Everyone giggled and laughed.This laughter means nothing.Laughter is the easiest way to unite and reject others. As the object of ridicule, Hirashi just lowered his head and silently continued to clean the flask stained with the experimental medicine.Among the six people in the cleaning team, only Pingliang was working seriously.

Whether it is regarded as air or isolated.Pingliang only hoped that this year would be safe and sound.

However, only one month after the shift change, Hirao's tiny wish was completely shattered.

Because of the self-introduction on the first day, Hirao was nicknamed "Little P".Although this nickname is full of malice, you won't know its origin at first glance.So even if someone called Hirashi "Little P" loudly in the corridor, the teacher only thought it was a nickname among close friends.

He was given this insulting nickname by a small group of boys who were in the limelight in the class.This limelight is not to say that they have good grades or all-round sports.It's just that it overwhelms others with a natural and defiant attitude.But in an environment full of minors like a school, this type of talent is the strongest.If people have no reason to have the psychology of not daring to resist, they will win.

Pingliang is just the opposite.It makes people feel that they can trample themselves and lose for no reason.All the hierarchical systems in this world, once established, are difficult to overthrow.

"It's so hot——I really want to drink juice."

Shirota, the most eye-catching member of the group, said.He looks like an idiot with his tawny hedgehog hair.

"I want a Coke. The one in the red packaging"

Miki took the opportunity to say, and the others followed suit and clamored for a drink.

——It became like this again.

Sure enough, they called "little p" like a puppy, and Hirara sighed helplessly.

At first they just called him nicknames to tease him, but now they would call him to the canteen or the convenience store in front of the school to buy drinks and snacks.Totally treated like an errand.Still, it's better than suffering from insidious bullying.Hirao tried hard to make himself think so.It's better than this, it's better than that, and with more and more resignation, Pingliang's status is getting lower and lower.Occasionally, Hirao wondered when this kind of cycle would end.If this is still the case after entering the society, then I really have no dreams and hopes for the future.

"Little P, go buy us some juice"

Shirota shouted again when Hirao was immersed in the tragic anticipation of his own life.It's not impossible to run errands, but when he goes to run errands, these guys won't help with cleaning.It seemed that it was going to be very late again today, just as Hirao put the flask being cleaned into the sink irritably.

"Go again later. Otherwise it will be too late to go home"

Qingju said so.Everyone looked at Qingju.

"Hurry up and go to McDonald's after cleaning"

Sitting cross-legged on the table by the window, Qingju kept looking at "JUMP" on his lap and said without raising his head.With his head down, his neck looks even more slender.

"Indeed. It's better this way."

Miki responded immediately.Shirota also echoed, "Let's eat."The four of them gathered around Kiyoi, watching JUMP while chatting about topics such as "This manga is coming to an end soon".The matter of running errands was so easily settled, Hirara picked up the half-washed flask again.

Hurry up and finish cleaning——Although Qingju said so, he didn't do anything himself.Cleaning this kind of thing seems to take it for granted that Hirara should do it.

Kiyoi was part of Shirota's group, but he wasn't as loud or rude as the others.When Shirota and the others intimidated the people around them, laughed loudly and drove them away, Kiyoju just quietly read manga or played with his mobile phone.

But the rest of the group respected him very much.

Just like just now, if things didn't go according to Qing Ju's idea, then no one would dare to disobey him as long as he said a few words.

After things developed according to his ideas, Kiyoju yawned boredly.It looks like a born king.

"Kiyo, Shima, a first-year student, confessed to you a while ago. What are you going to do?"

Shirota asked while looking at JUMP. "Really?" Miki asked. "It's great that Shima has big breasts with a child's face." When everyone was discussing enthusiastically, Qingju returned coldly.

"Refused, Subtle Fat"

"Rejected? It's too wasteful."

"I can understand Qingju's thoughts. There is only a thin line between big breasts and fat people."

"As long as the breasts are big, I can accept even fat people. Or I like plump ones. Soft—"

"Unacceptable"

Qingju muttered coldly.The chemistry classroom was filled with exaggerated laughter from Shirota and the others.

Although Qingju is extremely popular with girls, he doesn't have a girlfriend.Hirao had heard the discussion from the girls that Qingju had particularly high requirements for an ideal type.Some girls who everyone thinks are very good will be easily rejected by him. After entering the second grade, no girls in the same grade dare to challenge Qingju to confess their love.

After putting the last flask upside down on a clean towel, Hirara approached Kiyoi and the others.Taking three deep breaths, he opened his mouth after calming down.

"……that"

Everyone looked at him.Hirao felt his face burn for a moment.He opened his mouth after making preparations, but he was still so nervous that his heart was beating wildly and he couldn't speak.

"Cleaned up?"

Qingju asked casually.Hirao nodded.

"It's finally over" "I'm going back," Shirota and the others said as they walked out of the chemistry classroom one after another.Because the schoolbag is still in my classroom, I have to go back.Hirao silently followed behind everyone.

"Qingju, are you going to McDonald's?"

Shirota asked as the fish ran through the corridor.

"Why don't you go to KTV? I heard that there is a new store opened in front of the station."

"Okay, but the newly opened one may take a long time to queue. Queuing is annoying...ah"

Suddenly Qingju turned around.

"You go and help us line up first"

Because he was called suddenly, Hirara looked around helplessly.

"Let's go to McDonald's first, and then contact us when we have a seat"

"Ah, um, um, well, how should I contact you?"

After asking this question, Kiyoi walked over impatiently and held out his hand to Hirara.What.Are you asking me for something?Are you asking me for money?Pingliang felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"...the wallet, in the bag, I don't have any money with me right now"

"what?"

Kiyoi frowned, Shirota and the others burst out laughing.

"Little P, do you want to be blackmailed so much?"

"An ideal slave at all"

Amidst everyone's laughter, Kiyoi put his hand into Hirara's school uniform pocket very unhappily.Taira was so tense that his whole body went stiff.It turned out that Qingju's goal was the mobile phone in his pocket.

“It turned out to be flipped”

Kiyoi was speechless, typed something into Hirashi's phone and returned it to him.

"...This is Qing Jujun's contact information?"

Hirao looked at the number on the phone screen and asked, Kiyoi looked "Yeah—you're really annoying".Then he turned around and left immediately, Shirota and the others tried their best to hold back their laughter.

Hirao carefully stared at the 11-digit number on the screen.Afraid of accidentally deleting it by mistake, he carefully registered the number into the new contact.Ping Liang, who has no friends, has few contacts stored in his mobile phone.

qingjuzou.

Press the key carefully.

During this period, Qingju and the others had already gone far away, and Pingliang hurriedly chased after them.

When I returned to the classroom, there was a small commotion in the classroom.The boys in the cleaning team kicked over the bucket jokingly, and the girls looked at the wet floor with disgust. "Wipe it well. It's all Yoshida's fault for messing around like this."

The girls left this ruthless sentence and went out to throw out the trash, leaving Yoshida and the others arguing endlessly, "It's annoying" and "I don't want to touch the rag."

"Idiot, it's so wet that I can't get off my feet. Hurry up and clean it up."

Shirota strode across the wet floor with exaggeration.Ping Liang walked towards his table and thought angrily: What right do you have to say such a thing.He has to hurry to line up at the karaoke.Just as he was about to leave the classroom with his schoolbag, he was stopped by someone.

"Ah, little P, wait a minute"

"Call me?"

It wasn't Shirota's group that stopped him, but Yoshida and other boys from the cleaning team.There is always an ominous premonition.So far, he has not been called the nickname "Little P" by anyone outside the Shirota Group. "That, little p. Excuse me, can you wipe this here?"

Yoshida asked him with a smile.Ping Liang's heart suddenly seemed to be grabbed.

"...I have something urgent to do right now."

"Eh? Little P, what's your hurry?"

Yoshida put away his smile and said in a low voice.

"Little P, aren't you very good at cleaning?"

Everyone in the class knew that Shirota and the others were ordering Hirara.While Yoshida and the others were cruelly mocking Hirara, the other boys in the cleaning team looked at each other in embarrassment.The rest of the girls murmured "Don't do that".Everyone is watching the development of the situation.

Hirao looked down at his toes.Now there is a line in front of him, and he is facing a choice, whether to stick to this side of the line, or to be pulled to the other side of the line.This is an obvious watershed.If you make a wrong choice here, not only Shirota and the others, but the whole class will treat themselves as slaves.

It would be too tragic if it really turned out like that.Pingliang felt that he would definitely not be able to bear it.what to do.Pingliang, who has been stuck in the bottom cycle since elementary school, can't find a way to resist no matter how he thinks.

— Try to keep your inner peace.Don't be overly sensitive to stimuli.

— like Captain Rubber Duck with the long eyelashes floating in the dirty man-made river.

Just when Hirao bit his lips, Kiyoi muttered, "I'm so bored"

"What are you doing here? Hurry up and line up at the karaoke."

As soon as Qingju opened his mouth, all eyes in the classroom turned to him.

"...Ah, but"

Hirao looked back and forth between Kiyoi and Yoshida, looking trembling.Qingju frowned.

"Yoshida"

Yoshida, who was called by Kiyoi, shook his shoulders.

"Why did you suddenly call Xiao P?"

"Hey, isn't that what you call it because of Qingju?"

Yoshida blinked back.

"We call it that, so what?"

Kiyoju raised his chin slightly and looked at Yoshida coldly.

"Fuck, what are you doing?"

There was silence in the classroom.Everyone swallowed nervously.

"...Ah, so, how should I say it?"

Although Yoshida tried his best to keep a smile in front of everyone, he was actually scared to death.Kiyoi crushed Yoshida with just his eyes, and then Kiyoi looked around the classroom.Everyone suddenly lowered their heads.

"Then, go back"

In the calm classroom, Qingju said something lightly.

As if receiving a signal, the tense atmosphere was suddenly relieved.Everyone unnaturally returned to their normal state, Kiyoi led Shirota and the others out of the classroom one file at a time.Everyone quietly moved out of the way, when Qingju turned around.

"You go to the karaoke line for me"

The cold gaze and words cast over him made Hirao feel numb for a while.

From the top of the head to the tip of the toes, it felt numb as if electrified.

When Pingliang was still immersed in the shock, Qingju and the others had already left.Hirara who came back to his senses hastily ran out of the classroom.Yoshida no longer calls him.

Hirao ran to the shoe changing place and finally caught up with Kiyoi and the others.Qing Ju and the others walked leisurely as usual.Hirao took out the sneakers from the shoe cabinet and changed them.

"That, that, Qing Ju-kun"

He stopped the other party without taking a deep breath.Everyone turned around.

"I, I, I went!"

The voice is exceptionally high. "Huh?" Qingju narrowed his eyes and looked at him.Hirashi's entire face became hot.

After bowing as fast as a spring, he sprinted away.A few seconds later, there was a burst of laughter behind him.

"Yes, yes, well-mannered slaves are the best"

"Little P, you have to work hard for us—"

Shirota's jokes came from behind him.Pingliang replied in his heart: Idiot, I am not for you.I'm for clean house.Whether it's cleaning or queuing up at karaoke, no matter how boring it is, as long as it is ordered by Qingju, I will definitely do it.

Because, look at Qingju just now.

It was the first time Hirao met such a willful and powerful person.

Living in peace is not about helping yourself.If it wasn't for the scene just now, I'm afraid Qingju wouldn't care who called him "Little P" or who asked him to run errands.Qingju just couldn't bear to have his orders taken second place.It was for this reason that Yoshida was defeated.

The self who has been caught in a negative cycle since elementary school almost fell into the bottom line.Qingju pulled Pingliang back for extremely self-centered reasons.Kiyomi runs the world with things that are not gentle or just, which are worthy of praise.And, effortlessly.

It's completely unreasonable, but Qingju has such a power.

How great.How handsome.

Thinking this way, maybe there is something wrong with me.

But what is sad is that Ping Liang knew that gentleness and justice cannot save himself.

Just as he can only watch Captain Rubber Duck go down the sewage, even if justice and gentleness can sympathize with Hirara who is trapped in the bottom cycle, he can't drag him up with his own strength like Qingju.

Some would say that it is better to have some courage, or try to call for help, than to fight and say that no one can do anything for you.It was too true, and the one who was said so could only feel sorry for his own powerlessness.He can't resist what's perfect.

When the family eats together, the atmosphere will suddenly cool down whenever the news releases that a middle school student committed suicide because of being bullied.Pingliang could only keep thinking about Captain Rubber Duck in his heart and said: Don't think about it, don't resonate.

Hirara ran to the station with all his might.

The head that was always drooping was completely raised today.

The bangs, which were deliberately long to cover her eyes because she didn't want to see the world around her, were blown up by the wind.The world unfolds in its own eyes.Not bright at all, a dirty world full of dust.But today it doesn't look scary at all.Because, the exposed forehead was imprinted with the mark of the owner.

Qing Juzuo.

Use a black oil-based pen to write on the forehead clearly and forcefully.Just like a child writing his name on his own things, he himself became the property of Qingju.It doesn't matter if it's cherished, it's used for fun, it's trampled on as a target, it doesn't matter if it's disgusting, it doesn't matter how it is treated.

A cruel and dazzling brand was stamped on his forehead.Tenderness, justice, and dreams can all be easily defeated by it, and what is contained there is as beautiful and powerful as a spring storm.
