On the contrary, I'm even more worried.

  ……

  ……

  Bathing in the sunset, Luoshui Middle School has several tall teaching buildings, dense forests and vast playgrounds, all covered with a faint golden glow, giving off an aura of sacredness from afar. If the students knew about this, they would probably burst out laughing.

  Rough and crude students, at this passionate moment of advancing for dinner, it's time to praise the true art of cutting in line.

  Look at that spacious dining hall, crowded with students, packed to the point of bursting, a glance reveals a sea of heads, truly full of youthful vitality.

  At this moment, a petite girl with a silly expression and wearing a boy's uniform, was struggling in agony, her right arm tightly hugging a steaming bowl of rice, while her left hand beckoned forward as if inviting someone, gritting her teeth and squeezing out of the crowd with great difficulty, letting out two weak breaths, then sighing at the terrifying orderliness of the cafeteria.

  After dragging her tired feet to a relatively safe location, she turned around, raised her chin and looked around for the other two sisters who were suspected of being squeezed away in the crowd.

  Her eyes sparkled and a sweet smile played on her lips.

  She spotted a conspicuous blond head in the sea of people.

  Yes, since I found that soft and curly long golden hair, I naturally also saw the face with a tightly furrowed brow and slightly gritted teeth. And then through the gaps in the crowd, I vaguely saw a pair of high-heeled chestnut-colored shirts and white long windbreaker - Queen Yu was struggling painfully in the crowd.

  Outside the crowd, the sweet and smiling little silly can't help but wonder if the high-cold Queen Youyou was taken advantage of by a man with ulterior motives, thinking about it makes her feel a bit excited.

  Look at the elegant queen, who is now like a butterfly trapped in a cocoon, struggling hard in the crowded and chaotic crowd of people waiting for food. Her noble and dignified dress and temperament make one feel an urge to mock and ridicule her.

  Just then, the gentle queen finally squeezed out of the crowd, and with one hand soothing her delicate and plump buttocks, she looked back and complained in a low voice about who had done it so ruthlessly. At this time, little Dabao rushed up excitedly with his rice bowl.

  A height of 1.6 meters looking up at 1.7 meters, plus that sweet but silly smile, the whole scene looks like a little loli admiring a cool and elegant older sister.

  "Someone touched your butt?" Glancing at the big butt that the other person was touching, Xiao Dai said with a sweet smile.

  "Are you envious?"

  The queen looked at the little stupid Meng with disdain, thinking that he might have intentionally created a contradictory feeling on his body. She rolled her eyes in contempt and repeatedly stroked her buttocks, trying to smooth out the wrinkles she thought existed on her skirt.

  With a playful and mischievous smile, she left behind a flirtatious gaze, and the little silly girl raised her eyes again to look around in the crowd.

  "What about Xiao Xue?"

  "Uh-huh..."

  Her eyes filled with disdain and helplessness, Liu Youyou's delicate chin slightly raised, gesturing to the little stupid behind her.

  "Huh?"

  Blinking big round eyes, Xiao Dai Meng hadn't reacted yet when he heard a slightly resentful tone coming from behind him.

  "What are you looking for?"

  She quickly turned around, but saw Xiao Xue, who was about 1.5 meters tall, slightly lowering her face and raising her eyes from under the Liu Hai's shadow, her gaze sharp like a vengeful spirit yet gloomy, holding a rice bowl with her entire delicate body seemingly emitting a thick and chilly aura.

  Seeing this, she hurriedly smiled and said: "When are you coming out?"

  Suddenly, with a "thud", she was forced to shrink her neck, and Liu Youyou's fist hit her upright stupid hair on the head, saying: "Are you stupid? Others are short, they can easily drill out."

  Rubbing her forehead with a pouty mouth, tears glistening in her eyes, Ye Cai said with unrelenting grievance, casting a sideways glance with a resentful tone: "Don't hit my head, I'll become stupid!"

  "Isn't that better!?"

  Liu Youyou carelessly waved her left hand, shrugged her shoulders with confidence and disdain, saying: "Xiao Cai Mei, I'm helping you here, aren't you trying to be carefree? Stupid Meng is..."

  "Hmm!"

  Suddenly, a dissatisfied soft cold hum sounded, and Ye Cai and Hu Zhong, who were both resentful and wronged, were stunned. Xue, who had just been dried for a moment, left only a small but desolate back shadow for the two of them.

  They exchanged a bewildered glance, then looked at Xue's angry back in unison, blinking their eyes to the same rhythm, silently speculating - what's going on?

  ……

  In the unbuttoned vest, with a bowl of rice in her hands and a small spoon inserted, the steam rising from the bowl floated gently in the hazy and irritable field of vision. She was recalling the several snubs she had just received, being indirectly ridiculed for her short stature, having people change the subject when talking about herself, and being left high and dry on one side. Of course, most importantly...

  Just before leaving the cafeteria, she slanted her eyes and frowned extremely, as if she was extremely disgusted, taking in the chaotic scene of students at the window where they were getting their meals, seemingly gritting her teeth with hatred, and muttered heavily "A bunch of trash..."

  That year, the seemingly endless dark night, outside the small house cast by four delicate bodies that trembled slightly on their own, the chaotic and violent crowd's voices seemed to echo in her ears once again.

  Her eyes shrank and trembled, a few shades of fear and dread involuntarily appearing on her delicate small face.

  Then she seemed to see again - that warm pale sky, the piece of her who had hidden in swaddling clothes years ago, shaking and crying as she lifted her head, what entered her eyes was not a chaotic scene, but almost gathered into a piece of sky four pale yet still warm smile flowers.

  Four flowers.

  A gloomy atmosphere was replaced by bright sunshine.

  Those four flowers, when they reappeared, bloomed on a desolate grave, accompanied by the gentle caress of a summer breeze. A few scattered petals danced and fluttered, as if waving goodbye, gradually disappearing into the distant sky.

  "He's gone..."

  She suddenly looked flustered, hastily took a step forward, and slightly raised her right hand as if to hold someone back.

  The weight of the rice bowl brought her back to her senses, and with a flash of her eyes, everything around her returned to the calm but dull scene of the school campus. Her eyes widened in disbelief, then dimmed again.

  "What's wrong with you?"

  "Little Snow"

  In the dimly lit and slightly damp corner of my vision, I saw a pair of figures: Xiao Dai Meng and Gao Leng Nu Xue, both clutching their rice bowls and panting heavily.

  Ye Cai pouted, furrowed her brow, showing disdain and dissatisfaction. Liu Youyou, covering her stomach with one hand and slightly bending her waist, flicked the hair by her cheek and raised her pale face to ask: "What's wrong? Suddenly getting angry..."

  She was stunned for a moment, her eyes slightly panicked, and the two scenes of then and now suddenly intertwined in her mind. She came back to herself, but gradually raised the corners of her mouth, with a hint of moisture at the corners of her eyes.

  "Hum, who made you two bully me?"

  She slightly pouted, but the corners of her mouth were filled with a sweet smile. She gave a coquettish white eye to both sides and quickly left the cafeteria hall, finding an empty table in a nearby restaurant and sitting down.

  On this side, Liu Youyou's brain was still reeling as she stared blankly at her, while Ye Cai beside her pouted and leaned slightly to the side, her eyes filled with hostility as she glared at Liu Youyou and said, "It must be you."

  "Huh?"

  Before Liu Youyou could react, Ye Cai quickly grabbed the rice bowl and ran away in a hurry. Liu Yi savored the moment alone for a while, and when her brain finally caught up, she blinked repeatedly as if realizing something. Her mouth twitched, and she suddenly struck a pose like a female demon king, chasing after Ye Cai swiftly.

  "Halt! I promise I won't kill you!"

  "Ahhhhh, Xiaoxue save me~~~~"

  ……

  In the campus cafeteria filled with people's shadows, at a certain table, three girls sat in a row, scooping rice, lowering their heads, opening their mouths, chewing, and sighing...

  Somehow they ended up eating at the same rhythm.

  Glancing sideways, Xue Xiao, who was sitting in the middle, suddenly blushed and lowered her eyes, pouting: "You two are so boring!"

  He finished speaking and picked up his rice bowl, sending a mouthful of food into his mouth, frowning as he chewed slowly.

  The willow sways gently with a flirtatious air, casting coquettish glances; the leaves rustle with joyful laughter.

  They all seem to have thick skin.

  Xiao Xue glanced at Xiao Daimeng Ye Cai, seemingly thinking of something and her eyes flashed, absent-mindedly eating while hesitating, finally couldn't help but say: "Little Cai, nothing's wrong, right?"

  Ye Cai and Liu Youyou were both stunned, and then Ye Cai lowered her eyes in a manner that seemed to be filled with guilt, no longer pretending to be happy and confused, her gaze turned inward, and she silently shook her head.

  Liu Youyou lowered her gaze and looked at Xiao Xue, puzzled: "What's wrong? What's wrong with her?"

  Xiao Xue pouted, her eyes filled with worry: "You also saw it this afternoon..."

  Since the person in question was right next to her, she turned her gaze towards Ye Cai and asked with a hint of coercion: "Suddenly becoming serious, who wouldn't be worried?"

  Under increasingly straightforward and urgent gazes, Ye Cai pursed her lips tightly, her eyes bewildered and painful.

  At this time, Liu Youyou thought for a moment and echoed Xue's tone of voice, accusingly saying: "That is to say, you should be a little silly, why study so hard?"

  The nonchalant yet matter-of-fact tone made Ye Cailian's eyebrows furrow even deeper, her eyes flashing with a hint of annoyance and anger.

  Finally lowering his head deeply, taking a deep breath as if to adjust his mood, he smiled a few times and turned around, shrugging his shoulders to explain: "I also want to be a top student."

  Xiao Xue pouted and looked away, continuing to eat her meal in a sulky mood, muttering: "I hope you're speaking from the heart."

  Liu Youyou used a disdainful and mocking gaze to glance at Ye Cai, who was forcing a smile, and said: "Again trying to play deep with me..."

  With a helpless and resigned look, she slightly shook her head, and the sweet smile on Ye Cai's small face couldn't help but reveal a hint of bitterness and loss.

  At this moment, Liu Youyou and Xiao Xue were eating and talking about the incident they encountered at the Song and Dance Society earlier. They jointly scolded the temporary female instructor's extremely indifferent attitude, and then mutually complained about the suffering that physical training brought to their bodies. As a result, they touched each other's thighs again, looked at each other with sympathy, and gently comforted each other, carefully asking if the other was still in pain.

  And sitting on the right, silently and quietly, Ye Cai slightly lowered her head, eating while using the round and shiny eyes hidden in her bangs to gaze at the intimate distance between the two of them with a gentle yet weak glance, with a hint of comfort and a slight bitterness on the corner of her mouth.
