"Hey, isn't this our top student in the grade, Su Xiao?"
Su Xiao ran into a few female classmates she had been seeing frequently lately at the corner. It's not quite accurate to call them classmates, as they had no interaction besides wearing the same school uniform. However, these people seemed determined not to remain parallel to her and forcefully intersected her life.
Although the teacher said not to form small groups at the beginning of the school year, everyone is forming cliques in private. Su Xiao is a loner by nature, used to being alone, and with consistently good grades, has become a thorn in the side of some people.
"Do you want to join us? I'll give you a chance."
It looks like the leading girl among them, taking advantage of her taller stature than Su Xiao, patted her on the shoulder and spoke in a hostile tone. Her words, as always, made Su Xiao feel disgusted.
Su Xiao glanced at the "big sister" in charge, then looked past her to the few people behind her. Among them was a girl with twin ponytails who lowered her head awkwardly when she met Su Xiao's gaze.
Su Xiao recognized the girl with twin ponytails, who ranked third in the mid-term exams and is also the vice monitor of their class.
The vice monitor had helped Su Xiao at the beginning of the school year and was the first person to leave an impression on her at this school. It's unexpected that it turned out to be a case of "knowing the person but not their true intentions."
"Are you deaf or mute? I'm talking to you." The impatient big sister tapped Su Xiao's shoulder again and raised her voice.
"No interest."
Su Xiao A fear rose in his heart, but he maintained a calm demeanor on the surface, and his eyes pretended to look fierce. Inside, he hoped to quickly get rid of these people.
"So you're going to be our enemy? I thought the brains of top students like you were as effective as Wang Zini's."
The expression of "big sister" suddenly changed, a sly smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she looked back at her "subordinates," a few people swarmed up and surrounded Su Xiao.
Su Xiao wanted to resist, but was controlled by those few people. big sister slapped her in the face, and as she leaned to one side, another slap followed, the taste of blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.
"Who told you not to know your place!"
"Actually dared to refuse our big sister..."
"Even if she's the top student, she's nothing special..."
Su Xiao passively endured the punches and kicks, as if her internal organs no longer belonged to her. Waves of pain lingered along her nerves, gradually becoming numb.
At this moment, Su Xiao suddenly laughed and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Wang Zini, the deputy squad leader, stood outside the encirclement, and the slow rising and falling of his hand was like a falling meteor, which made Su Xiao feel ridiculous.
"Do you still have the energy to laugh? Sisters, teach her a lesson..."
big sister With a command, another round of fierce attacks fell on Su Xiao, her clothes were torn open, just as it was about to get out of hand, a deep female voice came from outside.
"What are you guys doing?" The people surrounding Su Xiao were distracted, and Su Xiao saw a tall girl walking over in a daze.
"Oh my, what a stroke of luck! Even our tomboy Lao Ge is here!"
big sister finished speaking, and everyone else laughed. Su Xiao reluctantly turned her head to look at what they called "Lao Ge."
A girl with very short hair, wearing a school uniform, stood in front of big sister, slightly taller than them, and looked somewhat aloof.
"Lin Meiluo brother, what brings you here to see us today?"
Those people who enjoy watching the excitement without considering the seriousness of the situation are provoking Lin Meiluo. Even though Su Xiao was covered in wounds and in low spirits at the time, he still saw Lin Meiluo's clenched fist.
"Other than making sarcastic remarks and hitting people, what else can you do?"
Lin Meiluo approached Su Xiao and was suddenly stopped by someone, who then pulled out a brick from behind.
"You have so much free time, why don't you try the feeling of being hit by me?"
Big sister's face turned pale in an instant. These people only dare to fight empty-handed, and they also know about Lin Meiluo's previous "glorious deeds."
"What's there for a fake boy like you to be proud of..."
big sister Those people kept retreating while still taunting, but when Lin Meiluo raised the brick, they scattered and ran.
After those people had gone far away, Lin Meiluo helped Su Xiao up from the ground, straightened her clothes, and asked about her condition.
The sunlight shining on Lin Meiluo makes him look like an angel. Su Xiao started to believe in the existence of angels from that moment. That day, Su Xiao was taken to the hospital by Lin Meiluo to treat his wounds, which also marked the beginning of a deep friendship.
Su Xiao used to be "unaware of the outside world," but since meeting Lin Meiluo, he has learned that she has long been a "prominent figure" at school. In her freshman year, she was disciplined for hitting someone with a brick, and everyone gossiped about her appearance and style.
"Don't you care?"
One day, on the way home from school, Su Xiao and Lin Meiluo couldn't help but ask each other about the strange looks they were getting from other people.
Since they met, Lin Meiluo has been walking home from school with Su Xiao, becoming her protector.
"It's exhausting to care too much about others. Trying to become someone else's ideal is too difficult. It's simpler to just be yourself."
At that moment, Lin Meiluo's smile was radiant as she held Su Xiao's hand, as if she didn't care at all about how others saw her.
Su Xiao at that time thought that Lin Meiluo had strong mental resilience, invincible.
But in this world, there is no one who is invincible. Even the strongest person will have a weak spot. Without a weak spot, a person wouldn't have emotions.
Later, when Su Xiao learned the truth, Lin Meiluo had already fallen from a tall building. She had endured too much unfair treatment, carried too much oppression and suffocation that should not have been present at her age, and ultimately chose to end her own life.
"Xiaoxiao, your name sounds very hopeful, so you have to believe that there is hope in this world, the darkness will eventually leave, the sun will wake up, and the light will come."
Su Xiao has been in poor mental state after the last incident, and Lin Meiluo has been accompanying and comforting her. Later, Su Xiao tried to recall those days, attempting to remember Lin Meiluo's low spirits, but she couldn't remember any.
Ironically, she, who spoke of hope and brightness coming, faced the morning sun and leaped from a high building, ending her darkness.
Su Xiao saw Lin Meiluo's body, it was like a bewitching rose stripped of all its thorns, scattered into pieces by the wind.
Lin Meiluo left nothing behind, except for the earring Su Xiao had given her on her birthday.
"This is the protective charm I've always carried with me. From today on, it will protect you."
Lin Meiluo put this earring on Su Xiao, and despite facing criticism for wearing it, Lin Meiluo never took it off.
Until the person has passed away, Su Xiao only understood the meaning of it.
These two earrings were given to Lin Meiluo by her sister. Her parents left early, and she and her sister depended on each other to grow up. However, her sister left her because of a terminal illness, leaving only the earrings behind.
Su Xiao was stopped outside the red line, watching Lin Meiluo being carried away. The earring on her left ear was shining, prompting her to instinctively touch her own left earring.
From then on, both Su Xiao and Lin Meiluo were without their guardian spirits.
