Chapter 1, Delusion (1)

"Is that true?" The security guard's suspicious gaze swept over her, "I can't tell at all"

The three characters of Xu Ningqing are quite harmonious

Xu Ningqing is Shi Niannian's cousin. He just finished the college entrance examination during the summer vacation and has only returned from traveling now that the university is about to start.

A segment of dark green encircles the wrist

In silence, Shi Nian tightly gripped the straps of her backpack, her face pale under the flashlight's beam, her feet rooted to the spot, unable to move.

It is uncertain whether it is due to spending a long time indoors, but his skin is exceptionally pale, his facial features are sharp and defined, with prominent brow bones and a slender jawline, giving him an appearance that is both aloof and unyielding

The last sound of the harsh noise was the girl's somewhat shy voice: "You... hello"

She stopped in her tracks, not looking back

She ran out of the school without stopping, only pausing when she was almost home. The hair tie slipped down, loosely hanging from the last strand of hair, and Shi Nian Nian took it off.

... ...

Carelessly nonchalant, it seems both mocking and disdainful, revealing a sense of weariness and a nasal tone

Shi Nian Nian: "... ..."

I love you the most!" Jiang Ling smiled exaggeratedly at her as he said this

The young man stepped out of the door frame, the dim yellow streetlight slanting down upon him, casting sharp and profound shadows that defined the contours of his face. One half was shrouded in darkness, while the other half was an unhealthy pale.

He tilted his head and pinched near his ear, asking: "What?"

Yet it can bring him a moment of tranquility

Jiang Wang laughed softly, his voice somewhat hoarse

Xu Ningqing, the debt collector, has returned. He just called me to say he is hungry and wants to have a late-night snack! Auntie said this with her mouth, yet she still smiled with a face full of happiness

The young man standing on the steps has a tall and upright figure, with light streaming in from behind him, subtly outlining his broad shoulders and narrow waist through the translucent fabric of his clothing

"Perhaps he is just a bookworm, having read himself into foolishness," another remarked casually

My uncle is a remarkable person. He started his business in his early years and has now become a well-known and distinguished businessman

At that moment, Nian Nian ate one and said: "Aren't you on a diet?"

He raised his eyebrows: "Hmm?"

In his second year of high school, he stabbed a man in the lower abdomen with a dagger, and after various entanglements and delays, he was imprisoned six months later, and today he has been released from prison

The girl in front has an oval face, dressed in loose school uniform and trousers. When the wind blows, it outlines her extremely slender figure, which appears empty and her skin is so pale that it seems almost transparent. She is slightly flushed from the previous remarks, revealing a beautiful shade of pink.

Unfortunately, he is a stutterer

This girl is someone I know, she is in Class 3 of the second year of high school, named Cheng Qi, a prominent figure in the school, beautiful in appearance, and possesses a strong sense of assertiveness

It is truly astonishing

She did not think much; she was only afraid that she might fall if she could not see clearly. Therefore, she raised her phone to direct the light towards the source of the sound

Just now, when she came over, she saw from a distance a dark crowd of people near the convenience store, and from time to time, there were sounds of painful wails.

At that moment, Nian Nian heard him curse "idiot"

The hair is very short, especially at the temples, and the elongated corners of the eyes create an extremely narrow crease.

After scolding, he walked ahead, while the others followed with playful smiles.

A voice sounded from behind: "Hey."

Can you please help me

The cicadas are chirping loudly on a summer night, and there are small flying insects dancing under the streetlights

Shi Nian Nian slowly packed her bag, being the last to leave the classroom, and casually turned off the classroom lights

Her face turned slightly red, and she looked quite distressed. Finally, she took a deep breath and continued, "Could you please call... Xu Ningqing?"

The girl seemed to hear nothing and continued to walk forward with her backpack.

detention center

The sudden beam of the flashlight illuminated two individuals, one of whom was a girl with a delicate and beautiful face, her long hair cascading down to her waist, her lips a vivid red, and the wide legs of her school trousers altered to a slim fit, currently draped over a tall and slender boy.

It is what she excels at

In the early September evenings, the weather remains sultry, with the ceiling fan whirring, sweeping away the menacing heat like two beasts engaged in combat

Shi Nian Nian took two steps back, covering her mouth with her hand. She was timid and at this moment did not dare to move, so she could only find a way to hide herself

She was catching her breath when she heard the voices of several men sitting on the steps across the street, chatting and smoking. There were about a dozen of them, looking to be around 20 years old.

They do not seem to belong to the same group as those young people outside who are acting in a childish manner

She turned to leave and took two steps into the crowd

He sat lazily there, revealing a slender and well-defined ankle, with a basketball lying beside his feet and a few scattered cigarette butts. His pitch-black eyes observed the touching brawl nearby with a detached gaze, and the open collar accentuated the distinct contours of his collarbone.

A pair of eyes filled with hostility, with brows and eyes lowered, exuding an unmistakable aura of rejection from a distance.

The voice is soft and gentle, sweet and melodious

"Is brother back?" At that moment, Nian Nian paused her actions, raised her head, and asked.

Seeing Cheng Qi approaching her, Shi Nian Nian took a deep breath and, regardless of whether she could see her feet clearly, ran away.

He waved to her, "Come here, I will teach you how to speak"

It is 8:20

The first thing that caught my eye was a young boy under the basketball hoop

"It's almost nine o'clock, of course I know you have finished dinner; this is a late-night snack." Aunt served her a bowl and placed a spoon on the table

It is only now that she realizes that the boy with a mischievous grin is deliberately teasing her

In an instant, the originally quiet classroom became lively, as everyone sprang up from their seats

Jiang Wang was squinting slightly, with weariness and impatience clearly reflected at the corners of her narrowed eyes, giving her an unfriendly appearance

The hot summer wind can melt a person; her shoulder-length hair was blown into disarray, and a layer of sweat formed at her temples. After watching for a while from outside the iron fence, she still stepped inside

Her speech is both charming and pouting, capable of drawing out water

Shi Nian Nian took a step back, kicking against the steps with a dull thud

Cheng Qi furrowed his brows and looked over, and upon seeing clearly, he smiled: "Do you understand the rules? It's late at night, shining a light directly into someone's eyes."

"Well, I just mentioned that I was at the convenience store up front, and I still haven't returned yet," Aunt complained

She lives with her uncle's family

His hearing sharply declined due to an accident. He tilted his head slightly and adjusted the hearing aid hidden in his ear, resulting in a series of hissing and crackling sounds

Welcome back, Wang Ge, from your imprisonment

Immediately following, there was a resounding and synchronized sound that echoed through the skies

Hmm," she replied softly, handing two math papers to Jiang Ling.

The young boy furrowed his brow as he scanned the two rows of people in front of him, then kicked one person in the leg.

"Nian Nian is back!" Auntie smiled and waved her over, "I just finished boiling the dumplings. Are you hungry? Come over and have some."

Jiang Wang supported himself with his hand behind him, his eyelids drooping as he glared at her: "Little stutterer"

Two minutes later, that pair of snow-white hands reached back again and placed a milk candy on her desk

After Shi Niannian finished reading the last paragraph of the reading material distributed by the Chinese teacher, she closed the paper, rubbed her eyes, and looked at the clock in front of the podium

There were two groups of people engaged in a fierce fight, and the lighting on the court was poor. After watching for a while, Shi Nian Nian could not find Xu Ning Qing.

The noise suddenly quieted down, and the teacher sitting at the podium raised his eyes and tapped the desk: "What are you all shouting about? Huh? What are you shouting about? Is it time for class to end that you start chatting?"

"I... I am sorry..." At that moment, she had a stutter, and being startled by her made it even more difficult for her to speak

The bell rings! The class is over.

"Yes, I am sorry." Cheng Qi mimicked her words, then bent down laughing, which sounded particularly jarring in the gradually quieting school

This little girl seems to be unaware of what is happening. One of the security guards standing at the entrance of the villa area said, "She always looks a bit dazed, which is a pity considering how beautiful she is"

Cheng Qi was very dissatisfied with her reaction and raised her voice: "Come here! Do you hear me!"

Jiang Ling quickly retracted and lowered her head, while Shi Nian Nian reacted a beat too slowly, instinctively raising her head, only to be glared at by the angry English teacher, prompting her to hurriedly lower her head as well

The hem of the blue school uniform brushed against some dirt, which had already dried and stuck to it, but she did not notice.

The evening study session will soon come to an end

First, I saw a slender and fair ankle, wearing slippers

Shi Nian Nian held her breath, hiding into the pitch-black darkness where there was no light. Immediately after, she raised her gaze and clearly saw the words on the shining copper plaque.

His voice, like that face, is somewhat hoarse and deep, resembling a piece of ice simmering over a fire

Shi Nian Nian slightly widened her eyes, finding it difficult to speak. Her stammering voice could not be raised, while the other side was in full swing. Not wanting to be affected, she mustered her courage to ask him.

After Shi Niannian finished the last dumpling, she jumped off the chair and said, "Aunt, I am going out to look for my brother."

Nian Nian. The girl at the front desk bumped her desk from behind and extended her snow-white palm, "Have you finished the math homework?"

The corridor was very dimly lit. She had night blindness and was holding a book. She turned on her phone to use its light to walk. After taking just a few steps, she heard a strange sound.

The door was pulled open from the inside, and the few people who were still somewhat relaxed instantly stood at attention, almost saluting. Shi Niannian's heart raced a little as she looked over, seeing a man in a police uniform standing there, speaking to someone behind him.

Sharp-edged, harboring an indelible defiance.

The police stepped aside, and Shi Nian Nian saw the person behind him

Hide yourself

Aunt. "I have already had dinner." said Nian Nian as she put down her backpack.

Shi Nian Nian recognized that this person was the one who had just been at the entrance of the detention center

I heard from that resident that she is not her mother, but that she is exceptionally good in her studies, ranking first in a key high school

There is no intention to join at all

After she entered high school, she came to this city, where every inch of land is precious, the traffic network is complex and intertwined, and the tall buildings rise high into the sky

Jiang Wang raised her eyes again and saw a pair of clear, tranquil eyes, so calm that there was not a trace of ripple, which was quite inconsistent with the stuttering manner she had just displayed when speaking.

Someone noticed that she was being scolded and began to chuckle softly

The division of arts and sciences has concluded, and Shi Niannian has chosen the science track. The new school term has just begun for one week.

Next to the convenience store is a basketball court, and the lights have now been turned on, illuminating the court with a vibrant green hue

The monster devoured one thousand moons, leaving only the last one. Standing on the suspended beam, it gently fills the sky, buried within the vast galaxy

The noise is giving me a headache

As Shi Niannian turned several corners to reach the villa area, she found herself by the water, with the bustling commercial center across the river, where vehicles flowed incessantly, and commercial buildings stood tall, illuminated by enormous billboards that shone throughout the night

With ups and downs

As soon as Shi Niannian realized what was happening, she immediately turned her phone around, pressing the end with the flashlight tightly against her clothing
