School Choice:
That night, Yu was sitting on the computer chair in front of the desk in the study, spinning around.
Before she received the phone call, her heart was peaceful and calm, and she was ready to sleep. However, after answering the phone call, her heart was indescribable.
Well, what if… OK, forget it…. She didn't know what to say, because she thought this kind of thing was unlikely to happen, but she didn't expect to be severely refuted by a phone call today.
Sure enough, the longer a person lives, the more things he sees, no matter what kind of miscellaneous, messy, ups and downs, and all kinds of talk...
Liu Muxi's mother is really alas.
Yu Ruoling hung up the phone, feeling as if a string of tumbleweeds were floating in her heart. As a mother. As a mother, called her child’s classmate and asked, which subject is best for her child to study. Yu thought.
For a mother to call her daughter's classmate, how little does she know about her child, or does she feel confused?Or not sure how her child is doing in school?
Yu Ruoling twitched her mouth. No matter what the reason was, she just felt it was very outrageous, even more outrageous than seeing the Iron Man falling from the sky in reality.
In this way, Muxi not only told her class teacher about this matter, she also told teacher about her mother's “phone call”.
That was fine, Yu continued to sit on the computer chair and kept spinning around. At least she has some status in the heart of Muxi's mother, and at least her opinions will be carefully considered. Plus, her class teacher also highly recommends the mechanical department of Jingjie Tech Vocational School, just like her. Then, it should be possible for Muxi to successfully enter a higher vocational school.
It's life-threatening for Muxi to go to common high school. Yu Ruoling sighed, turned off the light and went back to the room to sleep.
…
Two months later, in mid-August, Liu Muxi finally got into the mechanical department of Jingjie Tech Vocational School as she wished. This engineering genius, who is also entering her second year, is ranked among the top five in the school in the field of mechanical engineering and has been recommended by the school to the National Huaning University of Science and Technology.
And the admission was successful.
He Xiyun:
The year she met her, He Xiyan was stunned by the face that was somewhat similar to her own.
So she couldn't help but walked forward, took the mop, and drew a square and a circle on the ground at the same time, somewhat vaguely. Even she didn't know what to do with this painting, but out of a strange sense of intimacy, she instinctively did it.
At the beginning, she only regarded Yu Ruoling as a mirror, which made her appear more secure, or to prove in disguise that she was not alone. But later on, Yu Ruoling actually made her fall in love of friendship, and she and Yu finally became "real" friends.
Even though they had never said this to each other during the two years they were in the same class, He Xiyun believed that this kind of thing that required tacit understanding was just a matter of thinking about it in their hearts and knowing each other.
She didn't expect Yu Ruoling to find out that she had considered her a friend, nor did she expect this slow person to find out that she had actually been considered a friend as well.
This is good, she often thought, this is really good. It wasn't until someone said they looked like "twin sisters" while walking on the road that He Xiyun realized that their relationship was no longer just friends, but two little beasts clinging to each other for warmth.
Two lonely wolves, two wild geese separated from the pack.
She doesn't know if Yu Ruoling noticed it, but she thought again, although she and Chen Shengxuan fell in another hatred zone after they were be into same class in junior high school, and everything her suffered physically and mentally was far more terrifying than in elementary school, but once she thought about this confidence that always by her side and called Dummy by her, even were in the same class with her before. Her "Twin Sisters"...
Seems she would get through it no matter what.
Then graduate from junior high school and then enter senior high school. He Xiyun was carrying her schoolbag and walking on the general access path of Mingxing Elementary School, which she must pass on her way home.
She looked at the K8 southbound bus passing by quickly. Her face was expressionless, but she smiled slightly in her heart.
It doesn't matter who saves who. What matters is that they can always remember that there is such a person in their lives.
Hong Mingjin:
For Hong Mingjin, Yu Ruoling's "position" is a bit strange.
She is both a student and a beloved daughter in the palm of his hand. He didn't know why, but what was revealed in her eyes on the first day of school made him feel that this child needed a certain amount of love.
But after observing for several months, Hong Mingjin found that her family was very normal, and even the happiest family he had ever seen. Even so, he did not take back his father-like feelings for Yu Ruoling. Although he could not explain why it was her, he had always wanted a daughter after so many years of marriage, and Yu Ruoling made him feel like a "father".
Later, when friction gradually began to arise between Li Qingfeng and Yu Ruoling, he suddenly felt an indescribable uneasiness, so he went online to read many articles about campus bullying. At first, he didn't notice anything in his class, but then he witnessed it with his own eyes during the Chinese language class group activity.
That outstanding student who was just like his own daughter was criticized as worthless.
Angry fire burned from the depths of his soul. On the one hand, he was angry with other students for their ignorance and disrespect, and on the other hand, he was angry with himself. He didn't notice that the situation had evolved to this point.
However, Hong Mingjin knew that Yu Ruoling definitely didn't like spreading the matter, so he personally brought the group of people to the office and severely scolded them for all the lessons, without letting her find out.

These children made him understand that the power of school bullying is really frightening. Regardless of age, the practice of "following the trend" for self-improvement spread rapidly in just two days. He was secretly vigilant and asked his superiors to hold a seminar on the grounds that he "accidentally came across an online article" during regular school meetings.
Hong Mingjin made a lot of efforts in private to reduce the attacks on Yu Ruoling. He did not choose to tell her because he knew that once it was announced, it would cause irreparable harm to her.
At this time, she doesn't need sympathy, or even disdains sympathy. To her, sympathy is just the second word of "useless".
Yu Ruoling's self-esteem at that time was as high as a city wall and could not be broken down, and her sensitivity was as sensitive as flammable gas, whoever ignited it would die. After finally surviving the fourth grade, Hong Mingjin looked at Yu Ruoling's eyes under the podium at the end of the semester and felt extremely guilty.
The moment he formally said goodbye, he called Yu Ruoling closer to the stage, stretched out his hand and gently touched her head.
And said "I'm sorry".
Hong Mingjin thought she would be sad or even shed a few tears, but in fact, Yu Ruoling just smiled slightly and looked at him with tired eyes that pretended to be relaxed and bright.
She said, "Thank you, teacher."
...It turned out that she knew everything. Hong Mingjin's eyes were sore, and he suddenly felt that his position as a teacher...
It wasn’t done well at all.
Su Peixin:
Before Yu Ruoling noticed that Su Peixin was a thorn in Li Qingfeng's side, she was already in the spotlight.
It's just that there are more arrows coming overtly and covertly, but it's probably not too much.
As for Zhong Yuyao's character, in the whole thing, he is at best a sandwich cookie No.1 - No.2 is Yu Ruoling - however, even Li Qingfeng is unwilling to vent her anger on him, as for reason, won't say why.
The inside story of Su Peixin and Yu Ruoling's breakup was this. That note was a lie from beginning to end. What Yu Ruoling thought about Zhong Yuyao's intercession, Li Qingfeng's soft-heartedness, and Su Peixin's reconciliation were all imagined by herself in an extremely dark situation. In the end, the imagination turned into the "truth".
It wasn't until the moment when she and Fong Xuan finally became one that the "truth" was broken, and the truth about Fong Xuan's "somewhat special" skills was also revealed.
It turned out that Li Qingfeng couldn't bear it and took advantage of her lunch break to block Su Peixin in the women's bathroom with a utility knife, a piece of note paper and a pen, and put the cold and sharp slender blade on Su's neck like a poisonous snake.
Vomiting the letter, Su would be ready to receive a swift attack at every move.
Su Peixin was so frightened that she was at a loss for words. The funny thing was that she was infected by Yu Ruoling's bad habit of "keeping bullying in the stomach" and was forced to write a "breakup note" on the spot.
She watched helplessly as Li Qingfeng snatched the note and stuffed it into Yu Ruoling's schoolbag without knowing what method was used, and then forced her to start an acting show that lasted for more than two or three months.
This period was the most painful moment in her academic career, both for Yu Ruoling and for her own conscience. But she had no way out, Li Qingfeng could do anything - Su Peixin had always believed this after Li "accidentally" pushed a male student because she hated him, causing a severe fracture of his left arm.
She often thought - during these eight years - how she would face it if she saw Yu Ruoling again one day.
She didn't know, but she often thought about it and the unbearable nightmare. Su Peixin walked to the back corridor, threw down the trash.
And then she looked up.
COVID-19:
In November of the first semester of her second year of senior high school, a commotion suddenly started in a corner of the world. She doesn’t know when it started. Anyway, within a few days before everyone noticed, the matter had almost gotten serious and out of control.
Even so, Taiwan's epidemic prevention measures are simply textbook level - wait a minute, at that time, there seemed to be no unified textbook-style epidemic prevention steps for COVID-19. In any case, Taiwanese people are still very at ease, and they can go on business trips and work when they should.
However, the number of people going abroad for fun has dropped sharply. Until January 2020, due to the coming of the winter vacation, in order to prevent security loopholes, all transportation fully implemented the "epidemic prevention re-evolution", so that those people on the Internet who wanted to go abroad for the last time were all checked and quick-screening more seriously.
Yu Xiaoyu, Yu Ruoling, and Li Qiao took advantage of the "okay" situation, packed their luggage and took the plane -
- Dear passengers, you have arrived at Singapore Changi Airport.
The three wandered around Singapore for four or five days without restraint before they were satisfied with flying back to Taiwan, which is commonly known as the little sweet potato, from the high-end Changi Airport.
Oh, even in winter when January is supposed to be very cold, Singapore is still extremely hot. When Yu Ruoling was walking in Singapore at noon on her second day, two nosebleeds came out.
After returning to Taiwan, the three members of the Yu family followed the rules and quarantined themselves at home for seven days. At that time, the Central Disease Center had not issued a "quarantine hotel" policy, so after 7 or 8 days to confirm that the body was completely fine, those who should go to work continued to work.
And who should go to school go to… Wait, Yu Ruoling is currently on winter vacation.
So after sitting in front of the TV for several days, she saw the first-hand news, which stopped her in her tracks.
...Yu Ruoling promised that this was really the first time she had encountered such a thing since she had grown up and lived for so long.
The opening of schools has been postponed across the country.
She took a sip of the bubble milk tea she bought from a neighborhood beverage shop with a reusable straw and felt like she was witnessing history again.
After this scourge, the whole world will undergo an unprecedented change, whether it is living habits, diet, hygiene, or medical care.
Even politics.
…
Good job, she turned off the TV and thought, these medical systems fighting on the front lines, their Minister of Health and Welfare - and his cabinets - and other central ministers have all worked hard.
Maybe. But the Minister of Health and Welfare, aka as the Commander of Central Disease Center.
He's really fantastic.
Unity:
“She” got up as usual, made breakfast, made coffee, poured drinks and prayed.
On a very ordinary day, "she" felt something was wrong.
There are still more than a dozen gray-white mist balls the size of buses in the space, and "her" golden chains are still binding them. But… she always feels like something is not quite right.
"She" walked out of the room, said good morning to Him, and went to the kitchen after seeing Him starting His routine morning prayers.
The moment “she” turned the knob of the gas stove, "she" suddenly felt blessed and understood where the vague feeling of something wrong came from.
So quiet.
It's too quiet.
Fong Xuan's position is somewhat special. Although “she” is the same person as Yu Ruoling, “she” can "hear" far more voices than her. Not only the ordinary hearing level, but also the sounds of this space that ordinary people can't hear and only "she" can hear.
"She" could no longer hear any fluctuations, vibrations, disturbances, or even the sounds of fighting in other rooms.
Fong Xuan poured coffee beans for two people and was about to put them into the machine. "Her" hand paused, but in the end “she” only put the coffee beans for one person.
Although He may not drink this cup of coffee, but let it go, Fong Xuan thought silently.
"She" is finally going "back".
…
"…please her."
As soon as “she” finished speaking, "she" felt that “her” legs were empty, “her” body had no support and quickly fell down.
Fong Xuan felt nothing special, no pain or itching. Seeing “her” own body gradually dissipating and turning into crystal clear light spots, "she" felt sincerely.
After being "isolated" here for so many years, "she" can finally "go home". Soon, Yu Ruoling and "her" will merge into one and become a new one. They will slowly get better, then completely recover, and then use this love to love more people.
Love those who need Him and who He wants. Even people who the general public would consider unlovable.
He walked closer gently, but His steps were steady and firm. Each step contained those secrets that could be determined to be known.
His warm and powerful hands held "her" wrist that had dissipated and became somewhat transparent, and He opened His lips slightly.
"Don't be afraid, you are no longer bound. You will still be alive. Ruoling and you are one. You have the same consciousness and the same soul."
"She" smiled, thinking that it was indeed Him. Even though “she” is looking forward to returning, experiencing this for the first time - and of course it will only be this once - is unavoidable and unsettling.
“She” seemed to be surrounded by a vacuum, and “her” thoughts were blurred for a few seconds. Although “she” had no body, Fong Xuan seemed to see Him smiling brightly at her.
