I will never give in to Miss Death

"Every time... I am strong in my wandering loneliness, every time... I don't shed tears even when I am hurt..."

At this time, the song "Invisible Wings" was played from the teaching building in front, accompanied by the increasingly impatient shouting of the "dean" behind him: "Hurry up! The preparatory bell has rung, and you are still dawdling!"

I took out my phone again and checked the time - 7:25.

"Oh wow, such a high-end phone."

At this time, a boy happened to pass by me and asked: "Your mother is willing to buy you such an expensive phone?"

"Ah, um..."

I quickly turned off the phone screen and carefully took it in my hand.

"Your mother is so good to you."

The boy didn't seem to have any ill intentions. "I got 100 points in both exams before, and when I told my mom I wanted to buy a better phone, she refused, saying I would definitely play games if I bought it."

Isn't it? You can't buy a high-end mobile phone to study, right?

When I was your age, I had to work in a shady factory making dumplings for others during the holidays...

I was silent for a while: "Do you know butterflies?"

"Butterfly? What butterfly?"

The boy asked curiously, "Are you going to study insects?"

"No, it could be a person, or it could be..."

I organized my words a little: "What could it be?"

"what?"

The little boy looked at me like I was stupid and said, "I don't know. I'm not interested in bugs."

I didn't say it was a bug...

As we were talking, the two of us arrived at the bottom of the teaching building.

Because it is an elementary school, the structure of this school is very simple - when you enter from the gate, there is a large playground and various training equipment on the left, and a little further back should be the office building. Then on the left is a large lawn, under the lawn is the flag-raising platform, and to the right of the flag-raising platform is the office building.

This brought back some memories.

If I remember correctly... the primary school I attended was similar to this one. The difference was that the school twenty years ago was much more dilapidated than it is now, and the various sports equipment was not as "modern" as it is now.

"Don't use your phone during class, or the teacher will confiscate it."

At the bottom of the teaching building, the boy walked straight to the stairs: "What grade are you in?"

I blurted out, "Sixth grade."

Wait, that’s not right. I’m an adult, why can I say “sixth grade” so easily?

“Wow.”

The boy, who was about 1.5 meters tall, was surprised and said, "I thought you were from the first floor, so you're probably in the second or third grade at most!"

Am I that small!

"I'm not going to talk to you anymore. You girls are really weird. You're already in the sixth grade and you're still so short."

I was about to say something when this little bastard walked straight into a classroom on the second floor and closed the door.

Then, I heard him say to others through the door:

"Guess who I met when I got here? The senior from upstairs!"

"This is the first time I've seen such a short female classmate. I'm dying of laughter!"

"..."

I……

These few words made me want to rush in and beat that guy up.

"call--"

Forget it.

I took a deep breath.

Don't argue with children.

Standing at the stairs, I noticed the heavy schoolbag behind me.

Speaking of which, it seems that Li Denghua’s schoolbag is filled with her textbooks and homework books, right?

Since she handed the backpack to me, does that mean she agreed that I can check what's inside?

If I become her tutor in the future, I will check the homework in advance to confirm what the child is lacking... Is that okay?

Thinking of this, I went up to the third floor and found the "third classroom" mentioned by the "dean of studies" just now.

Compared with the following classrooms, this classroom has a lot of people, and almost everyone is studying hard. The whole classroom is very quiet, with only the "rustling" sound of pen tips jumping on paper and turning pages.

What made me even more embarrassed was that the desks in the classroom were arranged in groups of two, and all of them were occupied. There was not a single table with two empty seats.

After a rough observation, I walked towards a girl with a short ponytail in the corner of the back row.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-"

The moment I walked into the classroom, the bell rang.

"New students, please take off your hats."

The teacher, who was originally correcting homework at the podium, suddenly said this. I was so scared that I quickly took the beret off my head.

The teacher looked at the phone in my hand again and said, "Don't play with your phone during evening self-study, or the teacher will confiscate it."

Ok……

Seeing the teacher on the podium lowered his head to correct homework again after saying these two sentences, I quickly walked to the girl with short ponytails, pulled out a chair, put down my schoolbag, and sat down.

"what?"

It was only then that the dark-skinned girl noticed my arrival. She looked at me, then at the teacher on the podium: "Is this your first time attending evening self-study?"

"Ah."

I lowered my voice and said, "Hello."

"Hello, my name is... my name is Zhou Xiaofei, from Class 63."

The dark-skinned girl didn't seem to be very good at socializing: "What about you?"

"I……"

When I heard the words "Class 63", I felt a little embarrassed. I held it in for a long time before I whispered, "I'm also in Class 63."

"Isn't it?"

It was the girls' turn to be confused: "Are you from our class? I...I don't know you."

I had no choice but to take out my school card: "I took a semester off."

"Li Denghua..."

Looking at the name on the school card, the girl suddenly realized: "I remember that you are the senior from the previous class who had to repeat the year because of hospitalization!"

"you know?"

"Yeah, I've heard a little bit."

The girl asked, "Are you feeling better now?"

"It's good, I guess."

I decided not to dwell on these questions too much: "First... do your homework first!"

Since this girl knows about Li Denghua, I might as well ask her what a butterfly is after class.

Let me think... If I listened to the various bells here when I was at home before, if I heard it correctly, the evening self-study session here should be half an hour, and there will be a ten-minute break after half an hour, and then the second half-hour evening self-study session.

Well, we can make a plan for now - use this half-hour evening self-study session to check Li Denghua's homework and find out where she is lacking, and then after class, go directly to the person on the stage who should be the grade director or the head teacher of a class to find out the situation.

If there is really no other way, I can only report my identity. I only took an hour off tonight, and it would not be good to delay it for too long.

"OK, all right."

Seeing that I didn't want to say more, the girl next to me who called herself Zhou Xiaofei nodded and hesitated for a moment: "You...you are so beautiful."

"Eh?"

I was stunned when I just opened Li Denghua's schoolbag, and then I gave the girl a faint smile: "Thank you, you too, very cute!"

"Don't come on, I know what I look like, with dark skin and small eyes, I'm not good-looking."

The girl said this with some self-mockery, and turned around: "But thank you for saying that."

Well...about the "cute" part, I wasn't lying.

Apart from her dark skin, this girl's face is really cute, round, with single eyelids, and very attractive.

But thinking that I was not here to make friends today, I did not continue the topic.

I rummaged through the schoolbag behind me and took out Li Denghua's three books: Chinese, English, and Mathematics, and briefly flipped through some of the notes on them.

As you can see, these three books are very clean. Except for some brief explanations of the solutions to the exercises at the back of the math book, the whole book feels like new.

Was she not paying attention at all?!

With such questions in mind, I looked through my schoolbag again.

This time, I found a... diary inside?

Is it a diary? Or a notebook?

The small notebook in my hand is obviously different from those "eye protection exercise books" that cost less than one dollar - it has a hard cover, beautifully packaged, and seems to be taken out frequently, so it is quite worn out.

With the thought of “If it’s a diary, I won’t read it”, I opened the first page of the book——

[Dad, idiot, Dad is an idiot]

[I am alone at home again, so bored]

This notebook is filled with crooked handwriting and various doodles. Perhaps Li Denghua’s vocabulary is not enough, so some words are replaced by pinyin.

[My dad never comes back, Kelly Huang always laughs at me for being like someone without a dad]

[What does Jinx mean? It means Jinx, stupid]

【What's the point of learning a language? Isn't it enough to be able to understand the lectures? 】

[If I even get 100 points in English, my parents probably won’t care about me anymore. My dad might not even go to the parent-teacher conferences…]

[What kind of child prodigy? I don’t want to be one…]

"..."

Looking at the various doodles and sentences in the notebook, I suddenly felt like I had found the idea.

After glancing at the teacher on the podium, I put my notebook on the table and continued reading——

[My Chinese grades are obviously very poor, why do they all hide when I ask them questions...]

[My eyes hurt]

[I feel like I shouldn’t have won that jing jing award. I’m being called a genius again]

[The Chinese test score will be lower this time - January 2022, 1]

[I can’t see with my left eye, so I squinted my eyes]

【I am the strongest! 】

[Explode, reality! Shatter, spirit! Disappear! This world!]

[I’m a little scared…]

[It seems like I need to learn now]

[If I am hospitalized, will my father visit me often? ]

[My classmates said that they would make a big toy for me, and everyone would write a message on it, and I could take it when I got back to school after recovering from my illness.]

[I don't like it, they are too xuwei]

[I really have to go to the hospital...]
