Chapter 1: Mixi's Troubles 2
What is the hardest decision in life?
Wei Xi once thought that when you encounter an exercise that you don’t know how to do but have to hand in the paper soon, you don’t know which one to choose from A, B, or C.
Wei Xi once thought that she was having a headache about which school to apply to so that she could step onto the road to stardom faster.
Wei Xi once thought that two different competitions were scheduled at the same time, and she could only choose to participate in one and give up the other .
But now, she realized how naive she was in the past - it didn't matter if the test scores were a little bit off, as long as the ranking and score were not too far behind.
It doesn’t matter if she is struggling to choose which prestigious school is more suitable for her, because they are all prestigious schools and any one of them will not be a bad choice.
Giving up a mere competition would only mean she would get one less certificate.
It is the most difficult and troublesome when she is caught between people who talk to themselves and claim to be her "best friends" and has to make a decision.
Because she doesn't want to choose anyone!
Who are their friends ?
The above are all Wei Xi’s inner cries.
In fact, she was now sitting in her seat with an expressionless face, copying English words, while on both sides of her, two beautiful girls of completely different types were leaning against her closely, one on the left and one on the right.
"Wei Xi, I am your best friend, right? We have been through thick and thin together in the same ward!" The short-haired girl put her hand on her shoulder. Her slightly hoarse voice was charming and captivated the girls in the row next to her.
The beautiful girl with dark chestnut curly hair and glasses leaned her petite body against Wei Xi, and her delicate voice seemed to be able to drip water: "Wei Xi, since we met, I have helped you in every way you asked me to. If I didn't regard you as my best friend, how could I be so hardworking, dedicated, and have no regrets? So tell her quickly that I am your closest friend."
"Gong Yeli, you were obviously nice to Wei Xi just to see Wei Han." Qiao Jingling said bluntly, "Don't be so shameless."
"Hmph, you simple-minded, strong-limbed 'bad student', stop hanging around in the 'top student' class and go back to your sports class." Gong Yeli retorted.
The two of them were fighting with swords and sabers. Wei Xi, who was caught in the middle, could no longer bear it and slammed the pen on the table: "Have you had enough of the trouble? This is Class A, all of you go back to your classes."
"Wei Xi..."
"Mixi!"
Facing their pitiful looks, Wei Xi lowered his voice helplessly and said, "Lunch break is almost over, you should go back to your classes first. You are all my good friends, I won't favor one over another."
Seeing that they wanted to say something, Wei Xi gritted his teeth and threw out his chips: "I have a photo of my brother swimming in my hand, I will bring it to you tomorrow."
"Wow, Weixi, I love you!" They, who were as hostile as fighting cocks just now, immediately made peace and left with satisfaction.
Wei Xi, who had finally escaped from the "friendship hell", picked up his pen listlessly and was about to do his exercises when an excited voice broke this rare peace.
"Everyone, please pay attention. Xiao Jingjing is finally discharged from the hospital and can come to school tomorrow!"
This sentence immediately made the atmosphere in the class boil.
"I haven't seen Xiao Jingjing for a long time. I wonder if she can still catch up with her studies."
"I heard that even though she was in the hospital, she never gave up studying. She got a good score in the last test."
Wei Xi listened to other people's discussions while writing furiously until some harsh words entered her ears.
"Xiao Jingjing is so cute and has good grades, but her brother is not good-looking at all. I heard he is very naughty and his academic performance is terrible."
"Poor little Jingjing must be very embarrassed because of this brother."
"I heard that her brother often gets into trouble, and Xiao Jingjing often apologizes on his behalf."
"That's right. Her brother is really disappointing. He has such an outstanding sister, but he doesn't know how to cherish her at all. He always holds Xiao Jingjing back."
"Hush, do you know why Xiao Jingjing has a younger brother?"
"What's so strange about this? Isn't it normal for her parents to want to have another child?"
"No, no, no, you are wrong. I heard that Xiao Jingjing had been seriously ill before and might need an organ transplant. At that time, her mother became pregnant and the doctor said that the baby might be deformed and would not survive even if it was born, so her parents decided to transplant the organs to Xiao Jingjing after the baby was born. But unexpectedly, her brother was born healthy and was not a deformed baby at all, and Xiao Jingjing's illness gradually recovered. It was a misdiagnosis by the hospital."
"Oh my god, Xiao Jingjing's family actually has such a secret, how did you know?"
"This is not a secret at all. Everyone has known it for a long time. But it's strange. Xiao Jingjing is so outstanding, why is her brother so bad? Obviously, the genes are the same."
"Hehe, this is simple. Little Jingjing must have inherited all the good qualities of her parents, so when it came to her brother, only the disadvantages were left."
Their words made Weixi unconsciously tighten her grip on the pen. When she heard the last sentence, the string called "reason" in her mind broke.
"Have you said enough?" Wei Xi slammed the table and glared at them, "Stop making up rumors about other people's affairs."
"We didn't spread rumors!"
"That's right, don't think that just because you are Wei Han's sister, you can scold others casually without looking at yourself."
"Come to think of it, you are the sister of a genius, how come you are so far behind your genius brother?"
"Tsk tsk, no wonder you're upset. Are you feeling the same way about Xiao Jingjing's brother? Don't worry, you two are not even on the same level. After all, you're pretty, and you're already pretty good to be admitted to our school and assigned to Class A. As long as you don't compare yourself to your brother, you're actually pretty good. Xiao Jingjing's brother is a hopeless case, so why bother to lower yourself to compare yourself to him?"
The last sentence pierced Wei Xi's heart like a red-hot awl.
Wei Xi was about to retort when the teacher came in and announced the start of class. Wei Xi could only sit down in disappointment.
After finally waiting for the get out of class to end, Wei Xi was just about to look at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window to rest his eyes for a while when his cell phone suddenly vibrated.
She saw two text messages:
"Dear Weixi, let's go home together after school, and don't sneak out again."
"Ms. Miki, please let me escort you home."
If she had received the text message before, Wei Xi would have smiled unconsciously, but now, every word on it was so glaring.
"Wei Xi, the next class is in the chemistry lab. If you don't leave now, you'll be late."
A timid voice sounded in front, waking Wei Xi from his deep thoughts.
Wei Xi then realized that there were only a few people left in the classroom. She hurriedly picked up her books and ran to the chemistry laboratory, but she was still late.
The teacher stood on the podium and looked at Wei Xi, and said angrily: "Wei Xi, why are you here just now?"
Wei Xi blushed and apologized: "I'm sorry, I will pay attention next time."
"I heard that you are Weihan's sister? Weihan has never been late for school."
The teacher's words lashed Weixi's heart like a whip. She gritted her teeth and walked silently to her own laboratory table.
Although the classmates were concentrating on the experiment, Wei Xi always felt like a thorn in his back, and the words he had overheard before echoed in his ears.
"The sister of the legendary genius Wei Han is just like this."
"My cousin is in her old school. I heard she was a popular figure, so I had been looking forward to seeing her for a long time. But I was a little disappointed when I saw her. Although she is pretty, she is far inferior to her brother."
"If she was really that good, she should have been admitted to our school before. Why did she only get in now?"
"Maybe she was admitted because of her brother's help."
"Oh, that's too vicious. Even though her grades are average, she got into Class A after all."
"It seems like you really don't know that every class has a special student. Maybe she is the special student in Class A?"
At that time, Wei Xi really wanted to rush over and refute: "Do you know me? Do you know how hard I worked to achieve those results?"
But her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground and she couldn't move, because she knew that even if she argued with them, nothing would change.
Her brother is a genius, this is a fact she has known since she was a child.
No matter how hard Mixi tries, she can't beat her brother.
He was like a scorching sun attracting everyone's attention, while she was just an inconspicuous grass. She tried her best, and if she got good results, it would be taken for granted by others, but if she didn't get first place, it would be a joke.
So she...
Eh? There's a burning smell coming from somewhere, as if something is burnt?
Just as Wei Xi was about to take a deep breath to confirm his judgment, he heard a long "chi"
There was a sound, and then a white mist rose in front of my eyes.
"Ka-ka..." Wei Xi covered her nose and coughed violently as she rushed out of the white fog. "What happened?"
The teacher held a red fire extinguisher and asked anxiously, "Are you okay?"
Wei Xi felt puzzled: " What's wrong with me?"
The teacher was horrified: "Just now your skirt was ignited by the fire and burned, didn't you feel anything?"
What? Her skirt is on fire?
Wei Xi was so scared that she immediately looked down, but she did not see the familiar school uniform. She only saw a thick layer of white powder covering her body, and she could not even make out the color of the school uniform.
At this time, the teacher frowned and asked the other students: "What happened just now? Why did Wei Xi catch fire?"
My classmates, you looked at me, I looked at you, but no one said a word.
The teacher asked twice more, and seeing that still no one answered, he said angrily: "Since no one has come forward to explain the situation, I can only report to the school that a major accident has occurred, and all students in Class A will be given a serious demerit."
"Ah, teacher, no!" the students shouted.
The teacher said sternly: "The experimental accident that just happened almost caused a disaster. What if Wei Xi was burned and seriously injured? You are all good students with excellent character and academic performance. How come you don't even have the courage to take responsibility?"
After a long silence, two girls finally stood up and said shamefully: "I'm sorry, we got the experimental steps wrong just now."
"Since you are the ones who caused the trouble, now you should accompany Weixi to the health room for a check-up." The teacher pointed at them and said.
Wei Xi then recognized that they were the ones who had said bad things about her behind her back. She didn't want such people to accompany her to the health room, so she immediately said, "Teacher, I can go to the health room by myself, and let them continue with the class."
Of course the teacher objected: "That won't work. What if you get hurt or fall down on the road?"
Wei Xi jumped a few times on the spot, turned around, opened her arms and said, "Teacher, I don't feel any pain anywhere, I really don't need them to accompany me."
Seeing that Weixi insisted on going to the health room alone and that it didn't seem like anything serious was wrong, the teacher finally agreed to her request.
When Weixi walked out of the chemistry laboratory, for some reason, she suddenly felt so relaxed, so she decided to do something that she had always longed to do since she was a child but never had the courage to do - skipping school!
