The ringtone was very harsh, like a broken scrap metal trumpet rubbing and tearing against the ears, making people's scalp numb with the noise.
The ringing sounded louder and louder in her ears, and Tang Zhixi, who was lying on her side on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes.
There is a deep coldness in the beautiful phoenix eyes.
There were beads of sweat on my forehead and neck. My heartbeat was also very fast, and my breathing was a little rapid.
She opened her eyes, looked at the wall for a while, and then slowly adjusted her breathing while thinking about the scene in her dream.
For a moment, she frowned slightly, raised her hand and pressed her temple, unable to remember what she had dreamed about.
After the bell rang, the song started, and the sound got louder.
There were sounds of getting up and someone turning over in the dormitory.
Tang Zhixi lay down for a while, rubbed her sore head, and then sat up.
Chu Qingyan was still asleep in the bed opposite, maybe because the wake-up bell was too noisy, so she covered herself with a quilt and huddled together.
The other two classmates had already gotten up and were sitting on the bed changing clothes.
Fu Xue and Wei Xingmian here didn't get up either, but Fu Xue had already opened her eyes and was lying on the bed. Wei Xingmian was a little far away, and Tang Zhixi couldn't see clearly whether she was awake or not.
But Wei Xingmian was the first to speak: "Ah - why is it so early? I haven't woken up yet."
One of the students said: "Some people are already sitting in the class now."
"Oh - senior year of high school is really hard."
Tang Zhixi took off her half-sleeved pajamas, casually wiped the sweat on her neck, and said, "Don't worry about us. You should go to class in the morning. Don't delay you because of us."
Just woke up, her voice was cold and a little hoarse.
Hearing her speak, several people looked at her.
Tang Zhixi was currently wearing a very thin camisole, with her back turned to several people.
Fu Xue, who was lying down, Wei Xingmian, who had just sat up, and two students who were folding quilts, all saw the tattoo on her left shoulder behind her back.
The tattoo is as big as an adult's palm, a red crown, and an unknown totem on it, solemn and mysterious.
It looks like fire on the fair skin.
The four of them looked at her and were all stunned.
The only thing the four people didn't see was the tattoo on his left arm.
It emerged due to sweating and body heat, but it was not complete and not very clear. There was a circle on the outside of the cinnabar-red tattoo, and there seemed to be some words inside. However, it did not appear completely and I could not tell what the specific words were.
The four people stared at the tattoo for a while, and no one asked, and they started doing their own things again.
After Tang Zhixi wiped her sweat, she turned her head and glanced at her arm. Seeing that the tattoo had come out, she took the school uniform jacket hanging by the bed and put it on the bed and put it on her body.
Then I folded the quilt, got out of bed, took the toiletries and went to wash up.
She washed up quickly, and when she came back, no one else in the dormitory had returned yet.
Chu Qingyan was also still asleep on the bed.
Tang Zhixi packed her things and put on her clothes. Then she went up the small stairs beside Chu Qingyan's bed, sat on the stairs, pulled down the quilt, and exposed her head.
"Little girl, can't you get up?" Tang Zhixi looked at her and said, "It's already six forty-five."
Chu Qingyan curled up, her hair stuck to her face, and her eyes were still swollen from crying last night.
Because she heard her speak, Chu Qingyan pulled the quilt again to cover her head.
But Tang Zhixi grabbed her wrist and said with a smile, "It's time to get up."
Chu Qingyan frowned, shook off her hand, hugged the quilt and said, "I'm not going, please give me a leave."
"You really don't want to go?"
"I'm too sleepy." Chu Qingyan rubbed her head into the quilt again, "I won't go. Just tell the teacher that I'm on my period and my stomach hurts."
"Okay." Tang Zhixi pushed the hair away from her face, then hesitated for a while, couldn't help but reached out and poked her face, "Half a day or a day please?"
"Half a day." Chu Qingyan's voice gradually became blurry, "Auntie is here to deliver food at noon, so I have to go out. Otherwise, my brother will know that I didn't go to class again."
Tang Zhixi laughed: "What about breakfast?"
Chu Qingyan was quiet for a while, touched her phone, unlocked it with her fingerprint, and handed it to Tang Zhixi: "There is someone named Aunt Wenren. Send her a message and say that I will eat with my classmates this morning.
Don’t come and give it away.”
Tang Zhixi took the phone and found this Aunt Wenren.
Chu Qingyan said again: "Read the news above and imitate my tone. I really can't open my eyes."
After she finished speaking, Tang Zhixi heard steady breathing and fell asleep.
Tang Zhixi glanced at her, opened the dialog box, flipped through the messages, and then imitated her tone and sent a message.
Soon there was a response, which was a voice message.
Tang Zhixi didn't listen, put the phone on her bed, touched her face again, came down the stairs, sat in front of the desk, and waited for the others to leave.
Today's morning self-study was watched by the English teacher, who is the head teacher of Class 15 next door.
By the time the three of them arrived at the class, almost everyone in the class had already arrived.
The teacher also arrived early.
Some people have even been here for more than half an hour.
Some memorize vocabulary words, and some write English papers.
When Tang Zhixi sat down in her seat, the bell for morning self-study rang.
She put a glass she brought from the dormitory on the table and glanced at the empty space in front of her. Jiang Wan didn't come.
She didn't pay too much attention. She flipped through the extra new papers on her desk, found an English paper, and started writing with a pen.
During the forty-minute morning self-study, Tang Zhixi wrote two papers.
After class it was time to eat. She didn't want to eat at first, but she remembered that she had to take medicine. So she took the cup and followed them to the cafeteria.
The canteen in the early morning was very crowded because time was short and everyone was in a hurry.
After eating, Tang Zhixi threw the medicine packet into the cup, went to get a cup of hot water, and soaked the medicine.
As soon as the herbs touch the hot water, the slightly bitter taste comes out.
Wei Xingmian sat close and smelled it immediately. He turned his head and looked at her cup and said, "It's really medicine."
"Um."
"What's wrong with you?" Wei Xingmian asked.
Shen Bocheng also looked over immediately: "Sister Xi, are you feeling unwell?"
Tang Zhixi glanced at him: "No, it's for body conditioning."
"Oh." Shen Bochen didn't ask any more questions and said after a while, "Shall we go back?"
"You guys go back first." Tang Zhixi held the cup and said, "I'll go back after I finish drinking."
"Wouldn't it be the same if we went back to class to drink?" Wei Xingmian said.
"The smell is too strong." Tang Zhixi said.
"It's okay, just let some ventilation out." A boy said.
Duan Nian looked at Tang Zhixi and said, "You all go back first. We will sit here for a while and talk about something by the way."
"Okay." Shen Bocheng stood up and said, "Let's go first."
There were gradually fewer people in the cafeteria, and Tang Zhixi and Duan Nian sat across from each other.
Until the school bell rang, there was no student left in the cafeteria.
Duan Nian asked the cameramen to eat in the cafeteria first and stop filming them, and then said: "Xishen, has the script been written? Can we join the group after this variety show is over?"
"Not yet." Tang Zhixi said, "I've written several editions but I'm still not satisfied."
"Would you like me to take a look at it and make some suggestions for modifications?"
Tang Zhixi glanced at him, then lowered her gaze and said nothing.
Although she didn't speak, Duan Nian saw a lot of disgust in her eyes: "No, we have been cooperating for so many years, don't you have a tacit understanding that I can make some modifications?"
Tang Zhixi blew on the hot steam coming out of the cup: "I trust Shangguan more than you."
Duan Nian: “…………”
The two chatted for a while, and after Tang Zhixi finished drinking the medicine, they returned to the classroom together.
The classroom is on the third floor, the corridor is very long, and there are ten classes on the first floor.
Stairs are on both sides of the corridor, and toilets are also on both sides of the corridor.
Tang Zhixi and Duan Nian came up from the stairs closer to Class 16.
As soon as I arrived on the third floor, I heard a commotion coming from the toilet next to me.
First there was a sound like something made of plastic falling to the ground, and then there was a very subtle muffled sound.
Tang Zhixi and Duan Nian stopped at the same time and looked in the direction of the toilet.
When the two of them were still wondering what the sound was, a very clear slap came into their ears.
Then came another low-pitched insult.
Judging from the voices, they belong to several boys.
"Little girl, did I tell you not to let me see you in the men's bathroom? Why the hell did you come in again? Are you here for a beating?"
"Cry, cry, cry, you know how to cry, you bitch."
"Don't you like carrying a pink schoolbag? Why don't you carry it anymore? A man actually likes pink, why don't you wear a skirt? Hahahahaha."
"Isn't he good at studying? Is he a genius? He is a few years younger than us and is the first in the grade? Why not?"
"Let me think about it, think about how many you took in the final exam last semester. There must be more than a thousand."
"Why do you still come to school and study like this? What's the use? With your poor grades, you can't even get into college."
"Let me think of a way out for you. Go be a little duck and spend more time with rich people. Make more money while you are young. Otherwise, no one will look after you when you are old. Hahahahahaha..."
After the voice of speaking, there were several more slaps.
The soundproofing of the toilet is good. After closing the door, the sound inside is very quiet.
Class 16, which was separated by a women's restroom and a small utility room, couldn't hear any sounds from this side.
Tang Zhixi and Duan Nian also happened to walk here, and they heard it only when they were close.
As Duan Nian listened, his eyebrows furrowed deeper and deeper. Just as he was about to make a move, he heard Tang Zhixi tut slightly, walked to the door of the men's room, and kicked the toilet open.
With a bang, the door was kicked open, hit the wall on the side, and bounced back again.
Tang Zhixi pressed her feet against it and looked at the men in the bathroom.
When the cameraman who had been following the two of them saw this, he immediately turned off the machine, but was stopped by Duan Nian.
Just let them follow and take pictures.
He walked to the side and behind Tang Zhixi.
Six boys were standing around in the bathroom. They were all startled when they heard the movement and looked at the door in horror.
Tang Zhixi was wearing her school uniform properly, with her hands on her pants, standing straight, with some high ponytails, beautiful phoenix eyes, and the ends of her eyes were slightly raised.
The calmness and coldness in his eyes were like a knife stabbing into the bathroom.
Her eyes swept over several people, and then looked at the person who was curled up and lying on the ground with his head covered.
The whole person was huddled together, and his face couldn't be seen at all. There were still a few shoe prints on the school uniform.
Even though he heard the door being kicked, he didn't even look outside.
Duan Nian entered the toilet and first helped the boy on the ground up: "Are you okay?"
The boy lowered his head, shook his head, and freed his arm from Duan Nian's hand.
Tang Zhixi glanced at the boy again. Although the boy lowered his head and his hair blocked his eyes, Tang Zhixi still recognized it was Jiang Wan sitting in front of her.
Several boys in the bathroom looked at Tang Zhixi, Duan Nian, and the camera behind them.
After being stunned for a while, the six of them reacted.
"What are you doing? This is the men's room." One of them said.
"Really?" Tang Zhixi looked at them casually, her voice was horrifyingly cold, "I thought school bullies were like mindless animals who could urinate and defecate anywhere."
Tang Zhixi was already very polite. Considering that they were all students, she did not curse them with the word "beast".
"Don't think that since you are a celebrity and you have a camera behind you, we are afraid of you." One of the boys said, "Let me tell you, as long as we don't want to, we have plenty of ways to make these clips disappear."
"Then you let me see one of them disappear." Tang Zhixi said.
"You..." The boy wanted to speak, but the other two boys stopped him.
I advised him to forget it for now, not to cause trouble, and wait until the person recording the show left.
After persuading, the boys were about to leave, but Tang Zhixi blocked the door and did not move.
At this time, the head teacher of Class 16 and several boys came over.
The toilet is closest to Class 16, so when Tang Zhixi kicked the door, Class 16 heard it clearly.
I didn't know what was going on at first, until a curious boy peeked out from the back door and discovered Tang Zhixi and Duan Nian standing at the door of the men's room.
So I quickly informed the teacher.
Geng Meng came quickly with Shen Bocheng and a few boys and asked: "What's wrong? What's wrong? What happened?"
Tang Zhixi heard her voice and glanced sideways at her.
Just this one glance is enough to frighten people.
Teachers all have studied some psychology, and Geng Meng felt her deep sense of story just by looking at her.
It was a feeling she didn't have with the people she had seen before, nor with the people present now.
It's as if this person has been broken and reorganized, and has experienced huge changes, which has polished the human heart and made it indestructible.
After Tang Zhixi glanced at her, she gestured to the toilet again and said softly: "Bully our class."
Geng Meng stood at the door, looked at the boys, and then at Jiang Wan who was standing next to Duan Nian, and then his expression immediately became stern: "You guys from which class, follow me to the dean.
"
Hearing what Geng Meng said, several boys didn't take it seriously, and even looked down upon it.
But Shen Bocheng squeezed to Tang Zhixi and asked, "Sister Xi, are you okay? Are you injured anywhere?"
Tang Zhixi glanced at him and shook her head.
Duan Nian looked at Shen Bocheng, shook his head, and thought to himself: Young man, you have absolutely no idea about your sister Xi's power. Your sister Xi broke the door lock with one kick.
After thinking about it in his mind, Duan Nian looked at the lock on the door.
Two halves fell to the ground, and a little bit was still hanging on the door.
When the six boys saw Shen Bocheng appear, although they did not look at them or talk to them, they all behaved first.
Like flowers and plants, they all wither when exposed to the scorching sun.
