Minyou 05.

I told her that I am in the Qionghua forest behind the first teaching building.

Is my complexion as pale as the back of my hand?

But when she looked at me, my footsteps came to a halt. I couldn't just run away from her in such a sorry state. I didn't want her to see me in such a terrible condition.

During the break, the teacher walked past me and left a note on my desk that read: "Feeling unwell? Go back and rest."

If it weren't for her, I wouldn't even be able to see my own face clearly.

She said: "Wait for me."

I finally realized how bad my complexion has become, with a sickly pallor that seems to lack any trace of color. This is probably because I've been locking myself indoors and haven't seen the sun for a long time.

I reached out and picked a leaf. If she were here, she would definitely let me see this vibrant green.

There is no sun in the sky. This season has no qiong flowers. The qiong flower tree is lush and verdant. If I can see colors, then it must be emerald green.

I started to regret why I didn't choose the class she was in. That way, I would definitely be able to endure those gazes.

When facing the teacher's roll call for the first time, I was actually a little afraid of being exposed. I was already the object of attention. If they all knew that I couldn't hear them talking, I didn't know what kind of expression they would use to look at me - sympathy, ridicule, contempt, or indifference? I have already received too many cold eyes like this, so I hide myself where no one can see me, so that I can feel at peace.

She stood there, the colors so vivid, from the light blue at the beginning to the emerald green now. I gazed at her, but her eyes couldn't reflect my appearance.

She replied very slowly, only returning when class was about to end. Probably she checked the time on her phone and coincidentally saw my message. She replied to me with three words: "In class."

I suppressed the urge to escape, sitting in the classroom. It wasn't until after one class that I realized I was covered in cold sweat.

She is the only color in this black and white world. She walked over, stopped in front of me, smiled at me, and said, "Xu Minyou, I'm here."

I want to see you. I don't know if it's because my emotions are too chaotic right now, but I've said the words I've been wanting to say but haven't said out loud.

Some people don't feel comfortable with *illustrated* books. I let go, and the leaves were caught in her hand. I watched as my hand quickly turned white, unsure of what feeling was in my heart.

I handed her the leaf that I had pinched in my hand. She looked at me with confusion and reached out to take it. Her fingertips touched the back of my hand. In that instant, I saw the pale gray leaf in my hand quickly turn into a dazzling green, and I saw my own hand emit a white light.

I held the book and quickly walked out of the classroom under the gaze of everyone. Those eyes were blocked behind the door. I don't know what I look like now, how bad it is, that even the teacher couldn't help but ask me to go back and rest.

I took out my phone and sent her a text message, asking, "Where are you?"

The teacher walked in with a book in hand. All the instructors had agreed that I would be the last one called during roll call. When it was my turn, the teacher would place the attendance sheet on the desk and look at me. All I had to do was stand up briefly.

She came quickly, followed by a large group of students. After the class ended, all the students who had been concentrated in the classrooms came out. Looking around, there were people everywhere. I took a step back and instinctively wanted to escape.

On one side of the leaf, she pinched it, and on the other side, I pinched it. I didn't let go, and neither did she.

After military training, classes will begin. I managed to secure a spot at school, so naturally, I have to attend classes, even if I can't hear anything, I still have to pretend.

As expected... The outside world is still not suitable for me. Even if I find a sun that can bring color and sound into my world, it still has to face cloudy days, darkness, and even lightning and thunder.

I rushed into the restroom, but unfortunately, the reflection in the mirror was in black and white. My world lacks color, and I cannot discern whether I am good or bad right now. I touched my face with my hand, and it was already soaked with sweat. I cupped some cold water and washed my face before leaving the teaching building.

As for which class I teach, it was arranged early on. When I arrived at the classroom with my books, I could feel many people's eyes focused on me. I really dislike this feeling. I hate being watched like this, as if I were an animal in a zoo.

She hesitated and nodded slightly: "What's wrong with you? Xu Minyou, your complexion looks very bad."

Where are you? She replied quickly this time.
