Chapter 2, Bullying

It doesn't matter, she smiled gently, it would be good to give her another chance

I do not understand why this timid appearance is more eye-catching than confidently looking up.

At the end of the third period, Lin Zichuan called over the students from Class Six next door to play basketball, noticing that Lu Zhi was still resting his head on the desk

Lu Zhi was playing with his lighter. If he remembered correctly, before he came over, he had seen the new student chatting and laughing with Xia Xiaoshi.

"Classmate." Someone patted her shoulder from behind, and Ning Zhen turned around

Tong Jia waved to her outside the classroom: "Zhenzhen."

Ning Zhen returned to her seat and began to organize her belongings

Yu Shanshan is of a type that is charming and alluring, with a figure that is fiery and attractive

... ...

Lu Zhi chuckled and said, "Classmate, get up, my things are still on the table"

"Brother Zhi, what a coincidence, where is your unity and friendship?"

Ning Zhen listened quietly, and after Tong Jia excitedly finished speaking, she gently said: "Let's go have a meal."

Ning Zhen shook her head; she felt it was fine as long as everything was clear, she would no longer have any interactions with him. It was quite a bargain

Lu Zhi turned around, and what met his eyes was still the white dress. The new classmate resembled a turtle retreating into its shell; not to mention the face, he couldn't even see the eyes, only two rows of thick eyelashes hanging down.

Both of them are waiting for the new student to refuse and get angry

Tong Jia's chopsticks suddenly paused, and she nudged Zhenzhen: "Quick, look... it's Lu Zhi from your class!"

Ning Zhen's deskmate is named Xie Yu, with curly long hair that has a slightly yellow tint at the ends, and she wears light makeup on her face

Could you please make way? she asked in a hoarse voice

Ning Zhen hurriedly stood up and retreated to the aisle, not looking at him with her head down. She pitifully carried her own backpack in her hand

Tong Jia smiled and said, "Zhenzhen, I think you are even more beautiful than Yu Shanshan. What kind of mask are you wearing? It's the middle of summer, and just looking at you makes me feel uncomfortable."

Lin Zichuan in the back row glanced at the slender figure in front, then paid no further attention

Song Baoyun mentioned hyperbolas, and Ning Zhen had some impression of them, but the preceding sequences and functions were almost all quite unfamiliar

However, the new student seems to have no temper; she set down her light blue backpack. One by one, she took out the books from inside the desk and stacked them into a tall pile

Is that so? Thank you, I think your name sounds quite nice

Lin Zichuan smiled awkwardly, is it really that obvious

Three years later, she is reborn. She knows many classmates' names, but their relationships are quite ordinary. In this life, Lu Zhi did not pay attention to her, and she finally has the opportunity to make friends, which is wonderful

There is quite a difference compared to someone as pure and innocent as Ji Fei. If it weren't for Yu Shanshan's foolishness in cheating, she would probably still be together with A Zhi now

As soon as the class bell rang, she simply rolled her eyes at Ning Zhen and went to the back row to chat with her friends

Get lost!

Ah, it is her. In the morning, Yu Shanshan from the first shift came to find her, asking her to delete the photos

Lu Zhi and a group of people came down from the internet café on the second floor across the street, Chen Dongshu squinted his eyes and glanced diagonally across, breaking into a grin

Lu Zhi lazily raised his eyes and looked in the direction pointed by Chen Dongshu's finger

Ning Zhen smiled, her eyes curved, and her gaze was clean and bright. Tong Jia had no way to deal with her, so she had no choice but to go eat together.

Ning Zhen blinked; she had never known that Xie Yu had liked Lu Zhi.

A box of cigarettes flew over and struck him on the head

In view, a pair of slender hands retrieved a lighter and a cigarette

She is only sixteen years old physiologically and merely nineteen years old psychologically

It is impossible to eat without taking off the mask. She looked around and found that there were few people in the store, and not a single familiar face.

The edges of the book left several red marks on her arm, and Lu Zhi glanced at them before slowly turning to the side

Chen Dongshu in the back row was laughing so hard that tears were streaming down his face: "Damn, unity and friendship, hahahaha. Brother Zhi is being mischievous, how can a girl help a guy move books."

The sun is scorching, and Ning Zhen's every breath is filled with heat

"A, are you going to play ball?"

The slender arms lifted the stack of books, slightly straining.

This scent is all too familiar; he once wished to blend his essence into her very being.

Zhenzhen, it is time to eat, please take off your mask

Lu Zhi is bullying the new student, and most of the people in the classroom are secretly watching the commotion. Many sympathize with Ning Zhen, but they all know that Lu Zhi is trouble, and very few dare to provoke him, so no one steps forward.

Calculating the time, Yu Shanshan must have just broken up with Lu Zhi not long ago. She was the girlfriend with whom Lu Zhi had the longest relationship before being with herself.

Both girls expressed their gratitude. Ning Zhen took a bite, and the flavor filled her mouth. The taste was both familiar and unfamiliar; she had gone to the north for university, where many foods had different flavors compared to the south.

In her previous life, she had already completed the college entrance examination a year ago. The learning environment in university was quite relaxed, and only one subject, Advanced Mathematics, was still related to her high school knowledge, which led Ning Zhen to remember many high school concepts only vaguely

Xia Xiaoshi chuckled as she spoke, clearly disliking Xie Yu

It is rare for someone who looks like they have a severe cold and are contagious to have anyone willing to actively befriend them, yet Ning Zhen's eyes curved as she said: "My name is Ning Zhen"

Ning Zhen does not know Dong Xuewei, but is aware of Yu Shanshan

The boss swiftly brought over two bowls of wontons and said, "Little student, take your time eating"

This group of people often skips classes, and the students in Class 7 are not surprised by it

Ning Zhen placed the book on Lu Zhi's seat, while Chen Dong imitated Lu Zhi's tone in a sarcastic manner: "New classmate, be a bit more united and friendly, and put the book back in, alright?"

Tong Jia mysteriously said: "I apologize for not coming down to find you earlier; something big happened in our class."

Lin Zichuan laughed heartily: "Ah, you are crazy, Azhai."

Tong Jia pouted and poked her forehead: "Why are you not interested at all?"

Ning Zhen's cheeks flushed red as she softly said, "I have a cold, it would not be good to infect my classmates"

Ning Zhen has just arrived and has not yet obtained a student card. She cannot eat in the cafeteria and can only eat outside. There is a snack street outside the Third Middle School, offering good quality at reasonable prices. It is mealtime, and the air is filled with the mingling aromas of various foods.

Lu Zhi could not fall asleep in the classroom; the bench scraped against the floor, producing a harsh sound. He frowned and exited through the back door

For no apparent reason, she found herself disliked by others. Ning Zhen sighed inwardly, staring blankly at the unfamiliar yet familiar mathematics textbook.

Girls all enjoy hearing compliments about themselves, and Xia Xiaoshi finds the girl sitting in the front row, who looks rather peculiar, both cute and pleasing to the eye

"Are you sick? Why are you wearing a mask on your face?" asked Xiaoshihua with concern

Lu Zhi felt annoyed and said, "Shut up, if you like Ji Fei, then go after her."

Chen Dongshu leaned over from the back seat and said, "Chuanzi, it's obvious. You look like you want to stick your eyes on Ji Fei. Even a blind person can see that you like her"

Chen Dongshu let out a cry and lamented: "Brother Zhi, please be gentler with your hands"

Dong Xuewei refused, stating that Yu Shanshan had already broken up with Lu Zhi, and that she was being overly meddlesome. Yu Shanshan let out a cold laugh and immediately slapped her across the face

New classmate, let's unite and be friendly. Could you help me move over there, is that alright?

During a class, Xie Yu's complexion was not good.

The English teacher, suppressing their anger, pretended not to see anything and began the class

Ning Zhen nodded, referring to the one with Lu Zhi's photo in the phone

Later, Yu Shanshan tearfully begged A Zhi for forgiveness, which was an event that occurred two to three months ago

After hesitating for a moment, Ning Zhen reached behind her ear and removed her mask

Ning Zhen felt even hotter, yet there were people coming and going all around her, and she was afraid of encountering her classmates from Class Seven

Are you really not going to Ji Fei's birthday? It's been a while since you broke up with Yu Shanshan, aren't you planning to find someone new? Do you really like girls like Yu Shanshan? You still can't forget about her

Your name is truly beautiful

The timid new student, hunched over the edge of the desk, coughed with a heart-wrenching intensity

The new student is not even as tall as Lu Zhi's shoulders; when he stands in front of others, it looks as if he is bullying a child

The girl with short hair in the back row looked at her with a smile and said, "Hello, new classmate, my name is Xia Xiaoshi"

Then the two of them started fighting in our classroom. You have no idea how intense that scene was! Two individuals who usually carry themselves like goddesses were fighting like madwomen. Eventually, our homeroom teacher arrived, and only then did they stop.

In the third year of high school, there are four classes in the morning and four classes in the afternoon, and evening self-study begins only from the third year.

At that time, she was with Lu Zhi, who was domineering to the extent that she did not have close relationships with any of her classmates, and no one shared these little gossip with her

It has become much cooler

What can be done about this group of people? A group of wealthy and influential young masters, who are impervious to punishment or reprimand, and have grown calluses on their ears from the weekly reports of criticism.

Do not pay attention to your deskmate, she likes Lu Zhi. Oh, Lu Zhi is the boy who just changed seats. Your deskmate draws like a fairy in class every day, yet Lu Zhi hasn't even glanced at her. Now that Lu Zhi is no longer her deskmate, she has even less chance, and she must be furious inside.

Ning Zhen was just about to speak when a shadow fell over her head, and a faint scent of tobacco lingered at the tip of her nose, mingling with the fragrance of soapberry from the boy's clothes, creating a distinctly unique aroma. Ning Zhen froze in place, not daring to raise her head, and the words she intended to say were swallowed back down her throat

The shadow receded, and he did not take his book, just walked back. Ning Zhen steeled herself and quietly reminded him: "Classmate, you haven't taken your book..."

Xia Xiaoshi indignantly said, "Lu Zhi has gone too far"

Ning Zhen pressed her lips together, put down the book, and left. This time, Lu Zhi did not make things difficult for her and sat back down in his seat

Ning Zhen was choked, feeling a chill in her heart, and she quickly put on the mask that was placed aside while coughing.

After the English class, Ning Zhen finally waited for Tong Jia

In fact, she has always been quite lonely

As soon as she arrived, it was as if she had seen a plague god

Two or three boys from the back row followed them out together

The only downside of being reborn is that after three arduous years, the college entrance examination has finally concluded, only to find herself back at square one, having to go through it all over again

Ning Zhen walked to the back row holding a book, while Lu Zhi was still blocking the aisle

The fourth class is English, and the English teacher is a young woman in her twenties. Many seats in the back row of the classroom are empty, which makes her feel dissatisfied, yet she is powerless to change the situation

She and Tong Jia ordered a small bowl of noodles each and sat facing each other, waiting. The small shop did not have air conditioning, and Tong Jia was sweating profusely.

Most of the people in Class Seven's classroom have left. Tong Jia leaned over and whispered, "Do you still remember Dong Xuewei, whom I mentioned to you this morning?"
