Ban Xiaosong, Wu Tong, Yin Ke and Qingcheng are not the kind of people who give up easily. On the contrary, after listening to Qingcheng’s words and the failure last night, their fighting spirit is even more aroused.Especially Wu Tong, who couldn’t forgive himself who screamed and ran away.

That night they made persistent efforts to come to the teaching building, and this time they came a little earlier, so as to ambush before the perpetrators arrived.

Speaking of which, it is not easy to squeeze three long-legged teenagers under the podium at the same time. Qingcheng is 170 tall and has long legs.In this way, the four squeezed together under the podium with difficulty.Ban Xiaosong stretched this for a while, and bent that for a while, feeling very uncomfortable.Wu Tong couldn’t take it anymore, and shouted sharply: “Can you be more honest?”

After a long time, the four people’s feet began to go numb.And Qingcheng still has another trouble – skirts.It was really inconvenient for her to sit on the ground in a skirt.With a flustered expression and flustered hands, she kept tugging at her skirt.Yin Ke turned his eyes to other places in a gentlemanly manner, Ban Xiaosong fell asleep leaning on Qingcheng’s shoulder more and more, and Wu Tong kept rubbing his long legs.

Time passed for a long time, and the sleepiness of the remaining three became more and more serious.

At this time, the moonlight cast a figure on the ground, and someone came in!Qingcheng abducted Ban Xiaosong who was sleeping on his shoulder.

The perpetrator really came in through the window. After entering, he stopped in front of each desk, making rustling noises from time to time.Ban Xiaosong was the first to be unable to restrain himself, turned on the small flashlight he carried with him, jumped out from under the podium, and shouted: “Don’t move!”

The perpetrator in the classroom was frightened by Ban Xiaosong who jumped out suddenly, froze for a moment, and quickly ran out through the back door.Ban Xiaosong and Yin Ke followed closely behind, Qingcheng stood up and straightened her skirt before catching up.Wu Tong was still fighting with his long legs trapped under the podium.

Ban Xiaosong was running fast, sprinting was his forte, but the perpetrator was really not too slow.Ban Xiaosong turned his head and gave Yin Ke a wink, Yin Ke immediately understood, turned around and ran back, and appeared in front of the perpetrator from another direction in a blink of an eye, forming a pincer attack with Ban Xiaosong.

The perpetrator had no choice but to turn around and run upwards. At this time, Wu Tong and Qingcheng also arrived, and together with Ban Xiaosong and Yin Ke blocked the perpetrator on the roof.The wind on the roof was so strong that Ban Xiaosong and the others couldn’t open their eyes, but they still stared closely at the perpetrator who was facing away from them and was panting crazily, with feelings of anger, gratitude and curiosity intertwined in their hearts.

Seeing that there was no way to escape, the perpetrator had no choice but to turn his head. It turned out to be a familiar face. Ban Xiaosong, Qing Cheng, Wu Tong and Yin Ke exclaimed at the same time: “Xue Tie!”

Xue Tie is an unremarkable boy in their class.Why on earth did he do this, spent so much thought and effort, caused such a big wave, and spread so much malice?

At this moment, a hundred question marks flashed in the hearts of the four of them.

Xue Tie panted, stared at the few people in front of him, and shouted at them: “Don’t you come to the school to investigate over and over again just to find the murderer, it’s me, what do you want?”

Ban Xiaosong’s chest heaved greatly, and he asked out of breath, “We are all classmates, why do you curse others so viciously?”

“Why?” Xue Tie suddenly became excited, and he clenched his fists into his chest, “You actually ask me why? Of course you don’t know why, you only know how to build happiness on the pain of others, and how to make fun of me Bully me! Yes, my parents don’t have a decent job, they just collect waste, but they support me with their own hands, why do you laugh at my parents and me. You mock me every day as a garbage picker, It smells like trash, and I threw my books and desks into the trash.”

Yin Ke stretched out his hand, trying to calm him down: “Xue Tie, calm down.”

Xue Tie waved Yin Ke’s arm away, and said excitedly: “How can you calm me down! People like you who are popular with everyone can only speak sarcastic remarks! Don’t you want to know the reason? It’s very simple, just for revenge , Didn’t you say that I’m a trash picker, I’ll disgust you.” Tears of pain slipped from Xue Tie’s eyes.

Xue Tie also wants to be as happy as Ban Xiaosong, or as confident as Wu Tong, as good as Yin Ke.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t do all of these.All he has is a poor family, loveless parents and a humble and cowardly self.Sometimes, he would hate why his parents gave birth to this world, is it just to make him like a grass that no one cares about, watching all the beauty that belongs to others in the corner?

He is at the age of longing for friendship, and of course he has tried to extend his olive branch.But all he got was ignorance, ridicule, and even teasing.His table and chairs were moved to the side of the trash can; he once squatted because the chair was removed; he was nicknamed “iron deficiency”… Faced with these, he never resisted , but those injuries accumulated in his heart little by little, until they turned into deep resentment.

He hates those who tease him, and also hates those who ignore him. Over time, even Ban Xiaosong, Qingcheng, Wu Tong and Yin Ke, who never hurt him, he also hates. He hates their happiness, hates them sunshine, hated they were born with everything.

If he can have so much love like them, he will live as well as them, right?

The four fell into silence for a while.Seeing that they were silent, Xue Tie exploded and roared loudly in the wind: “What’s wrong with me, I just let those who hurt me be punished! That’s what they deserve!”

Wu Tong looked at the crazy Xue Tie, and said coldly: “They hurt you, and you hurt them in turn. What is the difference between you and those who hurt you?”

Xue Tie stared at Wu Tong, no longer going mad, he pursed his mouth tightly without saying a word, but the fist in his hand was trembling slightly.Suddenly, Xue Tie knocked Wu Tong away, and ran down the rooftop with his head down.Qingcheng wanted to chase him, but was stopped by Wu Tong: “Let him calm down.”

Qingcheng looked worriedly at the direction Xue Tie left, and Ban Xiaosong said: “I thought it was just a joke among classmates, but I didn’t expect it would make him feel so uncomfortable.”

Yin Ke sighed softly: “Don’t underestimate this kind of verbal violence, sometimes it hurts more than real swords and guns. Xue Tie is sensitive and introverted, and he is not good at talking. Long-term self-repression will definitely cause problems Yes, it just exploded.”

The four of them stood on the roof and continued to blow the cold wind, and fell into silence again.

The instigator of the terrorist incident was caught, and An Mi’s condition for them to rebuild the team was fulfilled.Are Ban Xiaosong, Qingcheng, Wu Tong and Yin Ke happy?

The answer is “no”.

Seeing Xue Tie being taken away by the school officials, they all felt aggrieved and uncomfortable for some reason.Wu Tong lost his temper all the time.Ban Xiaosong asked Yin Ke puzzledly: “Why is Wu Tong angry?”

Yin Ke replied in this way: “Wu Tong’s sense of justice is overwhelming. If his sense of justice is not satisfied, he will be angry.” Maybe even Yin Ke himself didn’t realize how much he loved Wu Tong in his answer. children’s appreciation.

The three went to explain the matter to Tao Xi, and Qingcheng stayed in the classroom.Class [-] and [-] of Senior High received the news from Joule, and all accused Xue Tie: “Xue Tie is too much, how bad is his character!”

“I already thought he did it! Who else could do such a disgusting thing except him!”

“I usually look quite honest, but my heart is so sinister!”

…………

Listening to the buzzing discussions in the classroom, Qingcheng, who was sitting in the back writing exercises, held her pen tightly.Her two fingers seemed to be about to break the pen.

The more he said the more ugly, Qingcheng couldn’t bear it anymore, stood up and slapped the exercises in his hand on the table again, shouting: “Don’t scold!” Ban Xiaosong, Wu Tong and Yin Ke who came back just heard this.

Everyone stared blankly at Qingcheng, and Qingcheng glared at everyone: “Xue Tie would do this all because of you, and you are still accusing him here, is there any humanity?”

The people in class one and six were shocked. This was the first time they saw Qingcheng, who was usually polite and polite, lose such a big temper.One girl said disdainfully: “Tch, what does he do has nothing to do with us, his parents are like that, so he is like that. Xia Qingcheng, you are so close to him, you can’t be like Xue Tie, right?” As soon as the words came out, Qingcheng glared at her angrily, and some people beside her laughed.

“You still don’t know where your mistakes are. It’s really too much.” After finishing speaking, Qingcheng ran out of the classroom angrily.

The three people outside the door looked at Qingcheng’s leaving back, and heard another insult to Xue Tie coming from inside, and now they brought Qingcheng with them.

Ban Xiaosong felt that the anger in his heart was suddenly ignited.Wu Tong was even more straightforward, stepped into the classroom without hesitation, kicked over the desk at the door, and with a “bang”, everyone who was discussing was startled.

“Have you scolded enough?” Wu Tong scolded loudly.The whole class was shocked by his aura, and no one dared to say anything.

Wu Tong also glared at the audience: “Xue Tie will have this kind of thing because of your verbal violence. Instead of reflecting on your bad words and deeds, you blame Xue Tie instead. There is no distinction between high and low occupations. What’s wrong with collecting waste products? You didn’t steal them. No robbing, you discriminate against other people’s parents’ jobs, and then bully Xue Tie, you are all children, but anyone with a bit of blood will resist, what right do you have to say about others.”

Someone mumbled, “We were just kidding him.”

“Are you kidding?” Wu Tong sneered, “If I lock you in the toilet cubicle, throw your tables and chairs into the trash, and call you trash every day, do you think I’m joking?”

As soon as the words came out, the students who were clamoring just now stopped talking.Thinking of what I usually do, the arrogance of the students is much weaker.

“Qingcheng kindly persuaded you, but you said such things, is it interesting?” Hearing this, Yin Ke suddenly remembered Qingcheng, and he ran to find Qingcheng without saying anything.

“You bullying your classmates in the name of joking is more excessive than substantial harm.” Wu Tong’s words made most people fall into deep thought.

It seemed that until this moment, the hearts of these boys and girls were awakened, they realized what they had done, they began to regret what they had done, they began to worry about Xue Tie, and hoped that he would not be punished too severely by the school.

In the principal’s office, the principal, An Mi, and Jiao An are urgently discussing Xue Tie’s matter. As a hardliner, Jiao An insists on expelling Xue Tie.

Tao Xi broke in suddenly and said eagerly to the principal: “Principal, you can’t blame the students for this incident. As the head teacher, I also have a lot of responsibility. I don’t care enough about the students, and I don’t pay attention to how the students get along with each other. Let things develop to where they are today.”

Jiao An interface: “Teacher Tao’s spirit of self-criticism is worthy of recognition, but mischievous students must be warned, so as to serve as a warning to others…”

Tao Xi interrupted him anxiously: “What a psychological blow the expulsion will cause to the student, and he may even go astray. If every child is born perfect, then there is no need to have With the existence of the school and the existence of teachers, we cannot just ruin a child’s future.”

He looked at the principal and An Mi in turn, with a pleading light in his eyes.Once again, An Mi felt that she saw a different soul in those usually indifferent eyes.She felt that it was time for her to speak.In fact, even if Tao Xi didn’t come, she would not allow Xue Tie to be fired just like that.

An Mi said firmly: “Director Jiao, do you know Xue Tie’s family background? Do you know the situation of his parents? Do you know their per capita income? Do you know how Xue Tie gets along with other students in class?” Her The voice was far from being indifferent and calm as usual, but eager and emotional.This is because in the past two days, she has done a detailed investigation and research on Xue Tie’s family and mentality. Now, deep down in her heart, she feels that what Xue Tie needs is not punishment, but help.

Jiao An was startled and shook his head.

“You don’t know anything, don’t you think your dismissal proposal is too arbitrary and arbitrary? If you don’t know the facts, you have no right to speak. Director Jiao, I also want to remind you that you are just a miscellaneous director, so you should do your job well first.” It’s an internal matter.” Jiao An was so choked that he rolled his eyes, and finally stopped talking.The principal was actually hesitant about how to deal with this matter. Seeing that the representative of the investor, An Mi, was so determined, he took advantage of the situation and said, “Director An, then handle it according to your wishes.”

An Mi turned her head and met Tao Xi’s grateful smile.Similar to how she felt Tao Xi was strange, Tao Xi also began to look at this “duplicate” woman again.

Yin Ke found Qingcheng on the rooftop. The wind was very strong on the rooftop, and the weather was also foggy. She looked very lonely standing there alone.

Looking into the distance, Qingcheng sighed again and again, her eyes were red and swollen, as if she had just cried.

Yin Ke stepped forward, saw her red eyes, and asked concerned: “Are you okay?”

“It’s okay.” Qingcheng’s voice trembled slightly.

Then she said with a crying voice: “Everyone still doesn’t understand why Xue Tie has been subjected to so much cold violence. Why should he bear all the responsibilities now. What he needs now is help and love, and what he needs is help and love. It’s not accusation and punishment.” She lowered her head, closed her eyes, and choked up.

Looking at Qingcheng’s helpless state, Yin Ke also choked up a bit: “I believe that Teacher Tao and Director An will definitely handle this matter well.” He patted Qingcheng’s shoulder with concern.

At this time, Wu Tong and Ban Xiaosong came, Wu Tong looked at Qingcheng’s appearance and said softly: “Don’t worry, they should have realized their mistake by now.”

Qingcheng raised his head, looked at Wu Tong and then at Ban Xiaosong who was smiling and nodding to him, and sighed.

Yin Ke asked: “Then what should we do now?”

Qingcheng: “I have a way.”

…………

Early in the self-study time, Tao Xi walked into the classroom and stood on the podium, and behind him was Xue Tie.Seeing this, the students put down what they were doing and looked at them in unison.Xue Tie kept his head down. From entering the door to standing on the podium, he didn’t dare to look up at the crowd, his fingers twisted together nervously.

Tao Xi looked at the calm and tense crowd, and said in a calm tone: “The prank incident has come to an end, Xue Tie has realized his mistake, and the school has already given him a warning…Everyone encounters difficulties in the future, don’t suffer alone. Suppress yourself, you must ask the teacher for help in time, and don’t take radical solutions.” He looked at Xue Tie, patted the other person’s shoulder, “In fact, everyone is very worried about you.” Xue Tie swallowed, tightly Following Tao Xi, he still didn’t dare to look directly at his classmates and kept his head down.

The bell rang for the end of get out of class, and students came out of each classroom one after another, but Class One (Six) of Senior High was uncharacteristically unmoved.

Xue Tie’s fingers were still twisted together nervously, and his lips turned whiter. “Xue Tie, raise your head!” Wu Tong shouted.Xue Tie raised his head suddenly in fright. He stood on the podium with his back to the blackboard, facing the whole classroom who no longer pretended to study, but looked up at him together, nervous as if every pore in his body Opened up.

Yin Ke pressed the button on the projector screen, and Qingcheng gave an OK gesture.The screen that was originally covering the front of the blackboard rose to reveal the blackboard.But Xue Tie was so nervous that he didn’t notice what was going on behind him at all, and just looked at everyone timidly.

Ban Xiaosong reminded: “Xue Tie, look behind you!” Xue Tie looked back at the blackboard as if he had just woken up from a dream, and he was stunned.

I saw three lines of characters written on the blackboard:

“Xue Tie, I’m sorry!”

“In the future, let us grow together!”

“Welcome back to Class One (Six) of High School!”

The students in the classroom shouted in unison: “Xue Tie, welcome home!” Xue Tie was surrounded by the swarming students with tears in his eyes.

Ban Xiaosong proudly said to Qingcheng, Wu Tong and Yin Ke: “Give me a high-five!” All of this was planned by the four of them together.

Yin Ke and Qingcheng stretched out their hands with a smile, and Wu Tong stretched out his hands reluctantly, they were highfive, Ban Xiaosong suddenly asked Wu Tong: “Do you feel like a team now?”

“No.” Wu Tong was taken aback, and immediately denied it firmly.When Ban Xiaosong looked away in disappointment, he secretly smiled.

Actually, yes, a little bit… no, a lot.

Qingcheng smiled: “Very well, the three of you are becoming more and more like a team.”

Ban Xiaosong also laughed and said: “What three, and you, the four of us will formally form a team in the future, and we will work hard together in the future.”

Tao Xi also watched all this with satisfaction.As for the little figure and little handprint that almost scared Ban Xiaosong to half his life, it was because he was worried that night and took Guoguo to school to have a look – there is no need to tell them about this.

Words have unimaginable power, they are everywhere like a shadow, seemingly pale and weak, but hide the light of a sharp blade.Sometimes a word can lead a person astray, leaving only darkness and endless regrets; sometimes it is a kind of warm redemption, leading others to find the right path.Everyone has their own path, and this path determines who we are today.People can’t pick themselves up from the ground. For those who want to get rid of the traces of the past and start over, what is needed is love, not ridicule.

Love is the light like fireflies. With love, only those who get lost in the dark can find their way.
