Chapter 1 The Pond

When she woke up in a strange room, Chi Tang couldn't react a little. She lay there motionlessly glared at the ceiling for a while before she remembered that this was her new residence.

It seems to be raining outside the window. Nanlin City especially likes raining. It has been raining for just one week here and it rains almost every day. Chi Tang doesn’t like raining. Every time it rains, she feels particularly bad.

The earphones stuffed into her ears before going to bed were still hanging, but there was no sound. She pulled the earphones off with one hand, rubbed her painful ears, and sat by the bed for a long time without moving. Until the door was pounded, her father tried to open her door but failed, and shouted outside angrily: "What door should you lock? Get up quickly, wait for you to go to class yourself, I'll leave in advance."

"Chi Tang, did you hear it?" The lock was twisted and cracked, and the door seemed to be about to be smashed to pieces.

Chi Tang lay down, without saying a word, hung up his headphones again, and turned on his phone to play music. The sound of the music was getting louder and louder, just like she used the music in her headphones to block out her endless quarrels from her parents countless times before.

The sound stopped, the rain had not stopped, there was no one in the room, and it was very quiet.

Chi Tang went out with her bag on her back. She didn't like to hold an umbrella. It didn't rain heavily outside. She just pulled up her hat and covered her head on her head, and walked into the wind and rain.

Class 1 and 2 of Nanlin No. 1 Middle School, one month after school, almost 50 people in the class have known each other. The men and women have almost found friends who can play with them and formed small groups. But there are so many people in a class that they can't help but have some lone freaks or aliens who are kept away from them.

Chi Tang belongs to the former. She transferred to school a week ago and was not interested in making friends with others. She sat in the back row in a cold and distant manner. She is the kind of girl who looks very beautiful. She has thin eyelids, thin lips, and a high nose bridge. When she lowers her eyes, she always feels a kind of world-weary laziness.

Most of the students in Class 2 are good kids. The teacher doesn’t let him carry his cell phone, so few people dare to take it. However, Chi Tang takes it with him every day. She often listens to music with her headphones, and it doesn’t matter. It’s common for her to be late in class.

Generally, people like this are mostly students who have poor grades, but in the first month of the exam, she entered the top ten of the class and the top fifty years old, which is far from the group of equally careless leaders around her.

In addition to her, there is another alien in Class 2 who is kept away from others, the one named You Yu.

When she entered the school, she was the second most in the school and became the first in the monthly exam. The opposite of her dazzling score was her poverty.

Of course, not all the students in the class are rich families, and some are relatively poor, but it is so poor that You Yu is a bit unbelievable. Even Chi Tang, who doesn’t care about everything around him and who is enthusiastic about gossiping and worshiping his deskmate, has heard a lot of gossip.

You Yu comes from a very remote mountain village. It is a miracle that she can get into Nanlin No. 1 Middle School. It is said that she has no tuition fees for admission and no accommodation fees.

The school uniform is unified, but the clothes inside the school uniform are worn by You Yu Yu, a round-neck T-shirt that has been washed until faded and rolled up with fur. It can be seen that the naked eye has been wearing for many years, and there are a pair of cloth shoes on her feet. In this case where people generally wear running shoes and leather shoes, just one pair of incompatible shoes made her completely leave the collective.

You Yu sat by the third row of windows. She was not short. She looked particularly thin because she was not short. Her long black hair was properly tied and placed behind her head - the very rustic braid.

"Oh my God, I can't stand living in the same dormitory with her. I don't say a word all day long. The rest of our dormitory are all, and I don't want to talk when I see her. Her clothes are torn like that, and she doesn't throw them away, and she doesn't wash them after wearing them for so long. You know that she doesn't even buy shampoo and shower gel, just a piece of soap, she washes her hair with soap!"

"No, I'm so poor? How much does it cost to buy a piece of clothing, a bottle of shower gel, and a pair of shoes? I don't believe that there are people who are so poor now. I heard that the school gives her a subsidy."

"She also made porridge and steamed buns to put them on the dormitory, and placed them next to the bed. She could eat them for two days. It was amazing. She was not afraid of bad things. I was afraid that she would do the same in the future. If the bad food was placed in the dormitory, we would still not be able to live."

The girl was chattering and complaining in her ears. Chi Tang felt it was a bit noisy. She lifted her eyelids and glanced at the two girls nearby, got up and went out to use the bathroom.

There are too many people on the toilet on this floor, so she doesn't like to wait in line, so she would rather walk a little longer to the toilet on the south side of the teaching building, where there are few people.

As soon as she walked in, she saw You Yu, the first person who was disliked by her roommates, was washing her hands. Chi Tang and she had no interaction, nor had they looked at her carefully. She suddenly ran into her here, perhaps because of the words she had heard just now, she looked at her more.

You Yu also raised his eyes and the two looked at each other for a moment.

This was the first time Chi Tang saw You Yu's appearance clearly.

You Yu has a pair of beautiful eyes, very dark and very good shape, but she is too thin and has a bad complexion, making her look less radiant than a girl. She has always been silent, silent but not shivering, and is only immersed in her own world, doing her own things silently.

The two of them did not say hello and passed by.

Chi Tang is a day student and goes home every night. The school suddenly has a power outage. She lit a candle lamp for self-study in her third year of high school, and the first year of high school took a vacation. Chi Tang took the bus home with her bag on her back. She was actually a little sick and leaned against the bus seat and closed her eyes to rest.

An agile aunt squeezed into the car and stood beside her. After a while, she coughed twice and scolded: "The young people nowadays don't know what's going on. They are rude. When they see the old man standing next to her, they won't give up their seats."

Chi Tang looked up at her, but didn't move. She didn't move even when she got off the bus. She waited until the aunt got off the bus before she got off the bus, then slowly walked back with her bag and walked back two times.

The new house was still a bit unfamiliar to her. After searching for a while in similar houses, she found the right one and took out the key to open the door.

When the key was inserted into the door, she heard the laughter and moans of a strange woman from the room, as well as the filthy laughter and scolding of her own father.

Her father took the strange woman home again, and I don’t know if it was his new girlfriend or the lady called him. Chi Tang took back the key without an expression, turned around and left.

She went back in the middle of the night, and there was no one in the room, but there was always a strange smell in the living room. Chi Tang stood there and suddenly retching, feeling extremely disgusting.

Disgusting, bored.

...

"School has been starting so long, and you suddenly said you want to live in the school?" The head teacher Lao Fang put down the application form, "Do you have any difficulties? Do your parents agree?"

Chi Tang returned to the classroom and had already obtained the key to dormitory 501.

"Chi Tang, do you want to live in the school too? Why do you suddenly have to live in the school?"

Chi Tang leaned on the chair: "Suddenly I wanted to live."

The girl who had previously told someone that the most ill-mouthed thing about the age of the age came over: "You live in 501, and it's my dormitory. Oh, let me tell you, there is an empty bed left in our dormitory, and you will definitely not be able to stand it." She pointed to You Yu in the front row, and his disgust was beyond words.

The girl was obviously waiting for her to talk to her, but Chi Tang didn't want to say much. She raised her chair and turned out her headphones without even answering. The girl's expression was a little bad. She turned her head back to her seat. After a while, she heard the voice of her deskmate, "What are you so arrogant? Isn't it just that the family is rich and doesn't look at people all day long, and she thinks she is a lady."

Chi Tang listened to the sound in his headphones, opened the textbook, and took a pen and scratched it on it.

He wanted to move to the dormitory, but he was not blocked by her father. He just cursed a few times, probably thinking that his daughter was not around, which made it convenient for him to enjoy the joy of life. He also happily transferred her some money, "What do you want to buy when you go to school to live?"

Chi Tang went to school by herself with a suitcase. She had lived in the school before, but it didn't take long, but the school dormitory was probably the same.

There is a six-person room, up and down bed, a desk and cabinet, a separate bathroom, a laundry room and a large bathroom on both sides of the floor.

As expected, there is only one empty bed left in 501. Below this bed is You Yu’s bed. Compared to the brightly colored quilts of others, her bed is too dim and there are very few things.

Chi Tang only took a look, then tidied up his bed and put the things into the cabinet.

Something was placed in her cabinet.

Chi Tang: "Whose things are taken away?"

There was only one person in the dormitory at this moment, You Yu, who was holding the lunch box and eating quietly at the table. He looked back at her, "It's Luo Zhengli's thing."

Luo Zhengli, the girl who was keen on talking bad things behind her back.

You Yu's voice was very low and a little hoarse. After saying that, he continued to eat without any other reaction.

Chi Tang took out all the things inside and threw them on the table, put his things in and locked them, turned around and went to the cafeteria to have dinner.

When I came back, I happened to hear Luo Zhengli complaining, of course, complaining about her.

"I just throw my things on the table. What does she mean? Do you dislike me? It's funny! There was a You Yu in our dormitory, but now there is another lady."

Chi Tang pushed the door and went in, and the sound inside paused.

You Yu followed her into the door, and the dormitory became quieter. You Yu seemed to have been used to their reactions, doing his own business, packing up his lunch boxes, and taking the books to the teaching building first.

The atmosphere in this dormitory is not happy, but no matter what, it is better than going back to face the scolding father.

After evening self-study, Chi Tang followed the crowd. It was very difficult to make these teenage girls with restless minds learn consciously. Even if the teachers recited it countless times, the bell rang, they still became a group of wild horses that were out of control.

First, she went to the convenience store to buy a bottle of water. Chi Tang unscrewed the lid and took a few sips. The drink that had just taken out of the freezer was cold from her stomach to her heart. She wandered around the playground aimlessly and saw the lights gradually going out at the classroom window of the teaching building, and in the end, there were only a few classrooms left with lights on.

Their classroom was also on, and a shadow was lowered by the window. Chi Tang glanced at it and realized that it was You Yu. She withdrew her gaze and walked towards the dormitory.

The dormitory was lively, chatting and playing with mobile phones, someone had just come out of the toilet and was about to use a hair dryer to blow his hair.

"I'll go take a shower first." Seeing her come in, Luo Zhengli immediately finished the topic and stood up and said, as if she was afraid that she would rush to take a shower.

Chi Tang didn't even raise his eyelids, took another sip of water, sat on the upper bunk, and closed his eyes in the buzzing sound of the hair dryer.

The lights were turned off at 11 o'clock in the dormitory, and she entered the bathroom to take a bath at 10:40. She needed a card to use hot water to take a bath. Her newly issued campus card, a small blue card, recharged a lot of money.

Just after taking a shower, You Yu finally came back. She put down her book and the test papers she sent today, and went into the bathroom to take a shower. Chi Tang saw the changing clothes, the round neck T-shirt, and a pair of school uniform pants in her hand.

She didn't pay much attention, but before the lights were turned off, she went into the toilet again and found that the floor and walls in the toilet were wet, without any heat, and even the nozzle poles were cold.

First grade, I just took a bath with cold water?

The lights were turned off. Chi Tang held up his cell phone and returned to his bed. He saw You Yu lying towards the wall on the lower bunk, his hair was still wet, but he seemed to be asleep.

She lay on the strange bed and suffered from insomnia again. At about three o'clock, she put down her phone and fell asleep in soothing music.
