Paper Ball

Lin Xinxin's actions caused some gossip in the class. Some speculated that her family was having financial difficulties and couldn't afford the bus fare. Lin Xinxin couldn't stand it and confronted them. "What do you know? It’s none of your business whether I run to school or not. Why do you care so much? I like sports, is that a problem?"

The person spreading rumors was the class monitor, Fu Wenwen, a petite girl about 1.5 meters tall. Lin Xinxin had grown taller in the past month, reaching 1.65 meters, making her look imposing when standing over Fu Wenwen.

Fu Wenwen blushed and asked, "Lin Xinxin, what's your attitude? I'm the class monitor."

Lin Xinxin sneered, "So what if you're the class monitor? Everyone knows you took the position because Gu Qin didn’t want it."

This matter was known to everyone in the class. When the teacher asked Gu Qin if she wanted to be the class monitor, she declined, saying she was too busy. A classmate overheard and spread the word. Fu Wenwen cried in front of everyone, and the teacher intervened, saying it wasn't true and made the rumor-spreader apologize. However, the teacher didn't like Fu Wenwen anymore, thinking she was overly sensitive and prone to crying.

Teachers nowadays face challenges, as parents often blame them for any issues. Recently, a student from another school eloped due to a relationship and jumped out of a window, claiming the teacher had harassed her. The parents demanded 2 million yuan in compensation. This incident spread widely, leading to outrage against the teacher. Eventually, the school principal intervened, showing surveillance footage that proved the teacher innocent.

Due to this incident, teachers are more cautious about their interactions with students. Zhu Xia dared not remove Fu Wenwen as class monitor easily, appointing her temporarily at the beginning of the semester. She planned to hold democratic elections later, but Fu Wenwen insisted on keeping the position. Later, Zhu Xia considered Gu Qin as a potential class monitor but gave up after Fu Wenwen spread the word. Now, Lin Xinxin brought up this issue, and Fu Wenwen's face turned red. "The teacher said it wasn't true. Lin Xinxin, why do you accuse me without evidence?"

Lin Xinxin replied with a cold laugh, "Huh."

Fu Wenwen burst into tears, and her deskmate couldn't bear it. "Fu Wenwen, stop being unreasonable. This is a school, not your home. Stop crying whenever something doesn't go your way. If you want to be a princess, go back home. Don't make us pay for your glass heart."

Fu Wenwen's deskmate was Zhou Wanru, a tall girl with long legs who had complained about Gu Qin being allowed to miss school while her boyfriend couldn't. Zhou Wanru was straightforward and disliked studying.

Fu Wenwen cried even louder, and Zhou Wanru was furious.

Gu Qin lazily watched the scene from her desk. She rarely saw such drama and didn't care much about student disputes, considering them childish. She had good relations with classmates, including Zhou Wanru, who occasionally asked her to tell fortunes. Gu Qin agreed once but refused afterward, saying she wouldn't tell fortunes for those who weren't sincere.

After crying, Fu Wenwen wiped her tears and decided to get back at Lin Xinxin. "Lin Xinxin, you said you run every morning to exercise. The sports meet is also for exercise and to bring glory to the class. Will you sign up?"

Lin Xinxin knew Fu Wenwen was retaliating. She smirked, "Sure, you can sign me up."

Fu Wenwen then went to Gu Qin. "Gu Qin, you should sign up too. Everyone likes you, and this is a chance to bring honor to the class."

Gu Qin yawned. "Whatever you want."

Fu Wenwen then went to Zhou Wanru. "Zhou Wanru, you should sign up too."

Zhou Wanru raised her eyebrows. "Fu Wenwen, are you crazy? This is personal revenge. I won't sign up. If you want to participate, do it yourself."

Fu Wenwen argued, "Zhou Wanru, you can't be so selfish. This is for the class honor."

Zhou Wanru laughed coldly. "How touching. Why don't you participate for the class honor? Are you participating? Let me repeat, I won't participate. Go away and don't disturb me."

Fu Wenwen glared at Zhou Wanru, infuriated, and signed up both Lin Xinxin and Gu Qin for multiple events, leaving Zhou Wanru with a few. She arranged the schedule so that their events wouldn't overlap.

When Zhu Xia saw the list, she praised the students and especially Zhou Wanru for her spirit. Zhou Wanru immediately protested. "Teacher! I didn't sign up. Was this done by Fu Wenwen? I told her this morning."

Zhu Xia was surprised and asked Fu Wenwen what happened. Fu Wenwen confidently said, "Teacher, you said if no one volunteered, we should just write down names."

Zhou Wanru said, "Teacher, she did this to retaliate. Look at the events she signed us up for. She has a grudge against Lin Xinxin and is acting petty. Such behavior is unfit for a class monitor. Teacher, you said the class monitor would be elected democratically. I disagree with Fu Wenwen and nominate Chen Gang."

Chen Gang was a male student known for his integrity and strength. Zhou Wanru asked, "Who agrees with electing Chen Gang as class monitor?"

Sixty out of seventy students raised their hands. Only a few were still dozing off, including Chen Gang himself and two of Fu Wenwen's friends.

Zhu Xia was surprised by the strong opposition to Fu Wenwen. "Since the class prefers Chen Gang, we'll hold a democratic election. Who agrees with Fu Wenwen?"

Only Fu Wenwen's two friends raised their hands.

Zhu Xia said to Fu Wenwen, "Fu Wenwen, as you see, I can't keep you as class monitor. Chen Gang will take over. But you'll have another chance next year."

Fu Wenwen cried, and Zhu Xia was frustrated. Finally, she sternly said, "Please calm down, Fu Wenwen. Your crying is disturbing other students."

Fu Wenwen stopped crying but harbored resentment toward Zhou Wanru, Lin Xinxin, and Gu Qin.

Gu Qin was innocent in this matter.

Soon came the sports meet. Most participants were selected by teachers.

First was the relay race. Zhou Wanru ran the first leg, another student the second, Lin Xinxin the third, and Gu Qin the last. Zhou Wanru put in great effort and shouted encouragement. Lin Xinxin was faster than the first two runners and quickly surpassed others. Gu Qin looked relaxed but was the fastest.

Class Seventeen won the relay race, beating Class One by three seconds.

Lin Xinxin and Gu Qin won first place in all individual events—200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m, 3000m, high jump, long jump, shot put, discus, javelin, and rope skipping. This shocked the teachers and students of Class One. Fu Wenwen was stunned. She signed them up to make things difficult for them, but they excelled.

Zhu Xia was thrilled. Lin Xinxin skipped morning study sessions, which annoyed her. However, realizing Lin Xinxin was exercising, she realized she might have athletic talent.

Class Seventeen won twelve first places, nearly sweeping all female events.

For the 100m sprint, only Fu Wenwen participated.

Zhou Wanru smirked. "She targeted you two so much, signing you up for so many events. Let's see how she does in her one event."

Gu Qin looked at Fu Wenwen. "Last place. She might have a minor accident. Her forehead is slightly dark, and her eyes and mouth corners are drooping. These are signs of misfortune. She'll see some blood, but it won't be serious."

Zhou Wanru was skeptical. "Really?"

The gun fired, and the runners started. Fu Wenwen stumbled and fell forward, hitting her nose. Blood gushed out, and she cried.

The sudden incident shocked everyone. Zhou Wanru was amazed. Gu Qin's predictions were accurate, proving her fortune-telling abilities.

Fu Wenwen angrily confronted Gu Qin. "Why are you cursing me? Why did you curse me to fall during the race?"

Her friend awkwardly explained, "Wenwen, she predicted your condition, not cursed you."

Fu Wenwen cried, blaming Gu Qin. "You cursed me. I wouldn't have fallen if you hadn't cursed me."

Gu Qin laughed. "If I could curse people, I'd curse the rioters to death. Why would I waste my ability on you?"

Fu Wenwen could only cry and was taken to the infirmary by her friend.

The moment Wenwen's nose stopped bleeding, her friend had already gone to the playground, while she was left alone on the bed in the infirmary, becoming increasingly desperate. The black aura above her forehead grew darker and denser until she found herself walking up to the rooftop of the administration building without realizing it. The administration building wasn't very tall, just six stories high. If someone jumped from that height, they would certainly suffer severe injuries.

Wenwen stood on the rooftop, even climbing onto the steps of the balcony. With just a slight jump, she would die, and those people would feel guilty for the rest of their lives. A teacher passing by noticed this situation and was so frightened that his legs went weak. He shouted, "Student, what are you doing? Come down quickly! Be careful or something bad might happen." Then he immediately called the principal and other teachers.

Finally, the principal and many teachers arrived. The news spread across the school grounds: "Did you hear? There's a student on the administration building roof, seemingly planning to jump."

"Really? How scary, how could someone think of jumping like that?"

Many students rushed over to see. Zhou Ruyu and Gu Qin were still chatting on the grass when they heard the news. Zhou Ruyu joked, "You think it might be Wenwen?" She said it casually, never expecting it to actually be Wenwen.

Gu Qin frowned and used her Heavenly Eye to look. Since the incident was recent and close, using the Heavenly Eye didn't harm her. To her surprise, she really saw Wenwen standing on the rooftop. Her expression changed, and she immediately got up and went over. "It's really Wenwen."

Zhou Ruyu and Lin Xinxin were shocked, their faces turning pale. Zhou Ruyu said, "Really? No way. What happened to her? Did she get into a conflict with us? Or did my words upset her? My God, she has such a fragile heart. Why does she even come out if she can't handle it? She should just stay at home."

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. We should go check on her," Gu Qin said with a serious expression. Almost a life was at stake, and she didn't look too good either. She didn't like Wenwen because of her fragile heart, but mainly because she considered her own life so worthless, often contemplating suicide.

She had seen Wenwen's face before and believed she wouldn't have this disaster. This meant the disaster occurred after her words, so Wenwen indeed contemplated suicide because of her. The three of them stopped talking and hurried to the administration building. On the rooftop, there was indeed a person standing by the railing. Those with better vision could tell it was Wenwen.

Although Gu Qin disliked Wenwen, she didn't want to see her commit suicide. Wenwen was somewhat problematic, with a fragile heart, but she wasn't evil. Gu Qin had seen her multiple times taking leftover food from the school to feed stray cats by the lake. In Gu Qin's view, Wenwen's character was just overly dramatic and spoiled, but human life is precious. Some lessons should be learned, but it shouldn't lead to death.

Seeing more and more people gather below, Wenwen felt the cold wind on the rooftop, which made her much clearer-headed. She was actually afraid of heights. With a clearer mind, she became more timid, thinking of her parents. She had no siblings, and she couldn't bear the thought of dying now. Just as she was about to step down, the door behind her opened, and two teachers' voices echoed, "Student, if you have any issues, tell us. We'll help you."

Wenwen was startled by the sudden voice. She had almost decided to come down, but then her leg trembled, causing her to lose balance and fall off the rooftop.

At this moment, Wenwen thought about many things: her parents' expectations, their love for her, how they would grieve if she died, and the conflicts with Gu Qin. She realized that the matters between them weren't significant. Gu Qin hadn't targeted her at all. Why had she become so obsessed with these trivial matters? Life was beautiful, and she hadn't lived enough. She wanted to live, not die.

The sensation of falling, the rise in blood pressure, and the brief blankness made Wenwen regret her decision deeply. If only she could live well.

Gu Qin, Lin Xinxin, and Zhou Ruyu had already reached the ground. Many teachers and students gathered, most curious, pointing and talking about the rooftop. The principal and teachers were worried about the school's reputation. As Wenwen's homeroom teacher, Zhu Xia was so scared that her face turned pale, and her hands shook uncontrollably. She knew that if anything happened to Wenwen, the parents would definitely blame her.

Zhou Ruyu couldn't help but sigh, "How could Wenwen be so foolish? Life is so precious. Was it because of our argument the other day? If it was, I'll apologize to her. I won't bother her anymore. It's not worth losing a life over."

Lin Xinxin was also very sad, "If we had known earlier, we would have let her say whatever she wanted... Wait, we shouldn't talk about this now."

As Wenwen fell, the sense of weightlessness, the rising blood pressure, and the brief blankness made her regret her decision immensely. If she could, she wanted to live well.

Life was beautiful, and she hadn't lived enough. She wanted to live, not die.

Just before she hit the ground, Wenwen closed her eyes, expecting pain. But when she opened them, she found herself lying face-down on the concrete ground. What was happening? She had fallen from the sixth floor, yet nothing seemed wrong. No pain. Was this what death was like?

The crowd around her screamed in terror as they watched her fall. They expected to see a bloody mess, but instead, she landed without injury. What was going on?

Wenwen also wondered what was happening. When she looked at the terrified faces of her classmates, she realized she was fine. She tried moving her limbs, finding no pain. She stood up, still in disbelief. She had fallen from the sixth floor and was completely fine. She remembered feeling something soft before hitting the ground.

So, Wenwen was still confused. The crowd was equally stunned. Many stared blankly as she stood up, checked her arms and legs, and walked towards them.

Teachers had already reacted. Zhu Xia approached Wenwen, her voice trembling, "Are you okay?"

Lin Xinxin and Zhou Ruyu were stunned, "This is amazing. What happened?"

Wenwen shook her head, still pale, "I'm fine."

Zhu Xia wanted to scold Wenwen but held back, considering the circumstances. "Go with me to the office. Call your parents and go to the hospital for a checkup."

Teachers and the principal took Wenwen to the office. The sports day had ended, and students returned to their classrooms. Everyone was discussing Wenwen's incident. Gu Qin, exhausted from using her energy, lay on the table waiting for her energy to recover. Zhou Ruyu sat in front of her, talking to her, but Gu Qin responded weakly.

Zhou Ruyu thought Gu Qin was shaken by the incident and didn't press further.
