Chapter 476: Qiao Mu Private High School

"I don't even have much to ask of you." Xu Wei scolded to the throat dry, and end the cup to drink a mouthful of water, "you before the first and second year of high school other things I do not care, but are senior, you are willing to come to class when, the good class, right?"

Xu Wei glares, throws a sketchbook onto the desk, and nails it with her red fingernails, "Look at what you've been doing in my class."

On the cover of the sketchbook, Bai Liu's name was scribbled, and next to it were a few formulas that had not yet been calculated, and the letters were distorted at the end of the writing, which made it obvious that the writing had been done in a very inattentive manner.

Bai Liu picked up this sketchbook, which looked familiar to him, and casually flipped it open, seeing all the simple scribbles on it, and realizing in a flash.

It's this book.

He often skipped classes in the early part of his high school years, and in the second semester of his sophomore year, Lu Yizhan coerced him into coming to class, but he didn't do so well, mostly lost in thought or dazed in class, and would draw random doodles in his notebook.

This is the notebook he used to draw graffiti in, and it was confiscated by Xu Wei, so it's no wonder he didn't find it when he graduated.

Xu Wei snatched the book from Bai Liu's hand, slammed it down in anger, and opened a few pages to Bai Liu's face for him to read:

"What is all this stuff you're drawing?!"

Bai Liu lifted his eyes without waves and looked at the drawing on the book.

The drawings on the book were done with a ballpoint pen, scribbled and simple enough that you could probably see what was being expressed.

Most of the drawings in the early part of the book are of a female demon with red nails and bulging eyeballs who was killed by a variety of weapons, with a watermelon-headed mangy monster that smiles from time to time also killed, this kind of drawings take up about half of the book, and most of the colors used are red and blue ballpoint pens, which looks very harsh and gory.

But at a later stage, the drawing style changed, and a pencil villain without a face appeared, which was vaguely described, wearing a school uniform, a skinny one, sitting alone on the edge of the flowerbed, looking down at the two ice-cream sticks he held in his hand, and seemingly very lonely.

Then on the next page, a black mass of stray fluffy lines the size of a small dog appeared in front of this pencil figurine.

The pile of lines could not see the shadow, and it seemed that the painter could not see the shape of this mass that suddenly appeared in front of him, so he could only depict the shape of the shadow in his eyes in such a vague way.

This mass of fluffy puppy lines crouched in front of the villain's legs, with a pair of frames drawn next to it that read, [Can I have one of those ice creams you're holding?

The villain replied in a dialog box, [Not given.]

The puppy line continues, [So can I switch with you?].

The villain asked, [What do I trade for?

The puppy lines say, [In exchange for my newly born soul.]

Bai Liu looked straight at the sketchbook and reached for it.

He couldn't remember ever drawing such a passage.

Xu Wei yanked the sketchbook back and was about to open her mouth to continue cursing when she saw Bai Liu's level stare at her.

Her scalp went numb and her voice weakened when she opened her mouth, "...... What are you looking at me like that for?"

It felt like she was going to be strangled to death with a whip, she had never seen Bai Liu look at her with such outwardly aggressive eyes before, and for a moment her back went cold, subconsciously letting go of her hand that was tugging on the book and letting Bai Liu take it back.

"Teacher scolded you for your own good." Xu Wei forced himself to calmly hold up his frame, the amplitude of the movement is a little smaller, lightly pointing to the book in Bai Liu's hand, "Look at what you draw, messy, if the drawing is good the teacher can still help you apply for the art and physical education class, but look at the things you drew ...... "

"What red-nailed banshee, what mangy □□□□, all too scary to be monsters from that horror game you like to play, right?"

Bai Liu glanced at the red nails on Xu Wei's hands, the corners of his mouth quirked up a bit, and he hmmmed in a dispensable voice, "Sort of."

Xu Wei clears his throat, "And those little people and lines in the back, that little person is yourself, isn't it, and what is that mass of lines, still talking to you?"

"You also know that something has happened recently, and everyone is concerned about the psychological problems of senior students." Xu Wei feigned a sigh, "As for the teacher, she was also worried about your psychological condition, so she took what you drew and asked the school psychologist."

"What about your kind of drawings, they say, which are in part due to self-imposed isolation, resulting in the residue of nonexistent friends fantasized about as a child into the present, a more serious psychological problem."

Bai Liu lowered his head and held the book without saying a word.

Seeing this, Xu Wei couldn't help but feel a sense of smugness at having hurt Bai Liu, she slowly puffed out her chest, her look becoming hypocritical and arrogant: "Of course, it's not as if the teacher can't understand why you'd have such a problem, after all, you grew up in that kind of environment, and with that kind of personality, you don't seem to have any friends in the orphanage? "

Bai Liu still didn't answer.

The smile on Xu Wei's face widened, "Qiao Mu's senior year over here is very stressful, it may exacerbate your psychological problems, as you can see, there are already quite a few students with problems this year, and your teacher doesn't want you to have problems as well."

"Tell you what, the teacher's side can help you apply for withdrawal first, how about going to another class when your psychological problems get better?"

As long as Bai Liu is forced to leave, her grades in her class will not be affected and Hou Tong will not be able to pester Bai Liu.

Seeing that Bai Liu was still ignoring her, Xu Wei frowned and was about to say more when a female teacher came next to her and knocked on Xu Wei's desktop, "Teacher Xu, we're going down to the assembly."

"Okay." Xu Wei stood up, she swept a glance at Bai Liu, "Bai Liu, reconsider yourself."

"I'm doing this for your own good."

Outside the window is the sound of a megaphone announcing: [Please gather all students in the playground! All students please gather in the playground!

Students bustled down the hall with their stools, complaining to each other about having to have a meeting in the sun at 2 p.m. Basically, every student was holding a bottle of frozen mineral water and a pocketful of ice-cream and sorbet snacks.

Qiao Mu Most of the students in high school are not in a bad condition, and when they have a pep rally, everyone buys something and eats while they drive.

Except for Bai Liu.

He couldn't afford to buy these, but that didn't mean he couldn't eat them.

"Mr. Xu kept you for the whole recess again." Hou Tong grumbled as she walked up, opening her own pocket and handing Bai Liu a popsicle, "Does it at least leave you time for a drink?"

Bai Liu closes the sketchbook he's just half-opened, sweeps his eyes over the popsicle she's handed over, and thanks her with polite detachment, "Thanks, but no thanks."

Hou Tong froze, she quickly realized what was going on, and pulled Bai Liu, who was about to turn away, to explain anxiously, "I didn't buy it for you!"

"Fang Dian bought it and asked me to bring it to you!"

Bai Liu paused as he turned to look at Hou Tong.

"I won't lie to you, I really didn't buy it!" Hou Tong eagerly took it out and showed it to Bai Liu, "Look, it's the cheapest kind of popsicle, 50 cents a piece, I wouldn't buy this kind for you."

Yes, the whole little pocket was filled with ice creams costing seven or eight to ten dollars each, and a cheap double-headed popsicle in there costing a teeny tiny fraction of the price of any other ice cream seemed out of place.

--But this is the kind of popsicle Bai Liu ate the most throughout high school.

In the summer, Lu Yizhan and Fang Dian would save money to buy these popsicles for Bai Liu.

"Thanks." Bai Liu took it and he smiled very lightly, this time his face was less detached and more serious, "I'll trouble you to help carry it."

Hou Tong was relieved to see Bai Liu take it away, but looking down at the bag of high-priced ice-creams costing more than ten dollars in her pocket, none of them compared to the fifty-cent popsicle Fang Dian bought for Bai Liu, she stomped her feet again in defiance, and her eyes reddened a little.

How is she worse than Fang Dian?

Why don't you want her stuff every time!

Bai Liu casually rips off the wrapper of the popsicle as he walks around, a cheap popsicle that comes in two sticks stuck together.

Lu Yizhan has been raising him since he was in the orphanage, and used to share all the food with him, and this habit has been retained in high school. Before Lu Yizhan and Fang Dian got together, he usually ate one of these popsicles with Lu Yizhan, one for each person, which was a very good deal.

But after Lu Yizhan catches up with Fang Dian, these two popsicles are only big enough for two people to share, and it's awkward for three people to share, and that's when Bai Liu, the dabbling outsider, will knowingly exit the two-person world of the others and go to the office to get some water.

Eighteen-year-old Bai Liu thought calmly that it was finally time for Lu Yizhan to have his own circle.

He didn't understand why Lu Yizhan would raise him for more than four years for no reason, but this doubt was finally discontinued when Fang Dian appeared - it was probably because there was nothing more interesting around for Lu Yizhan to focus on at that time, so he was bored and came to raise him.

But soon Bai Liu becomes even more confused.

He originally thought that Fang Dian's arrival would put Lu Yizhan on the track of a normal person-getting into a good university, graduating and finding a good job, getting married, having children, making lots of good friends, living a normal and successful life, and in short, that was the end of socializing with him, a marginalized person.

It's like Lu Yizhan should have stopped there when he gave him half of that 50-cent popsicle.

Lu Yizhan shouldn't eat such cheap popsicles and share half of them with people like him. They are not from the same world, but Lu Yizhan has been forcing himself, forcing himself.

But ...... doesn't work that way.

Instead of taking away Bai Liu's popsicle, Fang Dian's arrival allows Bai Liu to eat one more at a time.

This woman would laugh and giggle and buy a 50-cent double-headed popsicle as well, then share her other one with Bai Liu, rubbing his head and saying, "What are you hiding from, I like you a lot too."

Since then, the number of popsicles Bai Liu can eat has become two, and his confusion has doubled.

"Bai Liu!"

A bright and generous voice came, a high ponytail, wearing a school uniform and school skirt girl in the middle of the crowd laughing and shouting loudly, she raised her right hand and waved, smiling with a bright brow, the sunlight fell on her body became dazzling and warm, dispersing the dead atmosphere of this side:

"Bai Liu! This way!"

"Come sit on my side!"
