Chapter 2 Rebirth 01
City A in midsummer is like a big furnace. Once you go out, the sun will turn you into jerky.
Military training is a deadly job. In just a few days, the children who had been fair and tender during the more than two-month vacation all had their skin peeled off due to sunburn . No matter how good the sunscreen was, it could not withstand the scorching sun in City A.
Fortunately, I only had dysmenorrhea on the first day. Although it was uncomfortable to have my period during military training, I could bear it.
It was just that wearing sanitary napkins in the middle of summer was very uncomfortable. Adding military training to the mix, it was even more miserable .
Military training was full of scorching sun. My feet were sore from standing during training, and I could only sit on the hot ground during the intermission. When I got up, my butt was wet, and my legs were sweating non-stop. I didn’t use sanitary napkins for long, and they were quickly soaked by sweat. So, in this situation, I would rush to the toilet during the break.
During military training, all the freshmen wore the same green camouflage uniforms. Their faces were tanned black and red, and they wore an airtight military cap, so it was really hard to recognize their original faces.
But some people are different. No matter what she becomes, even if she turns into ashes, I can still recognize her at a glance.
I've said it before, Mo Beibei and I are destined to meet. It's already a coincidence that we're in the same department at the same school, and now we even bump into each other when we go to the bathroom.
There are two classes in the English Department. These days, I followed Cai Miao and others to visit the girls' dormitory of Class 1. I didn't see Mo Beibei's name, so I thought she should be in English Class 2.
During the military training, the girls in our two classes of Foreign Languages Department were assigned to other departments for training because there were few of them, and I didn't see Mo Beibei.
I originally thought that we would not meet each other during the military training for most of the past half month, but I had bad luck today and ran into him when I went to the toilet.
Mo Beibei pushed open the bathroom door and walked out. She was stunned for a moment when she saw me waiting outside. I suddenly felt a pain in my stomach.
What does it mean to meet enemies on a narrow road? It’s the case with Mo Beibei and me!
I stood there in a daze, wondering whether I should play dumb like last time when I didn't know Mo Beibei, when a girl suddenly came over and hooked her arm without saying a word, complaining with a grin: "Beibei! What took you so long? Is your stomach okay? Are you still feeling uncomfortable? Ah! What's wrong with you? Why is there so much blood in the toilet ? Beibei, are you okay?"
The girl leaned over to take a look at the empty toilet seat and immediately screamed, grabbing Mo Beibei's arm tightly with a terrified look on her face.
I subconsciously followed the girl's gaze and glanced into the toilet. Looking at the bloodstains in the squat toilet, my temples began to ache violently.
It doesn't have to be such a coincidence, right?
Could it be that Mo Beibei's period comes on the same day as mine?
I was holding my forehead and sighing, but I saw Mo Beibei, who was pale, covering the girl's mouth in panic and looking at me.
The girl facing me was stunned for a moment and turned her head.
I want to say, what kind of special attraction does Shengshi University have to my high school classmates? Why do I always meet acquaintances here?
I know the girl who is glaring at me and acting as if she wants to eat me. She is Lin Feng's cousin, only a few months older than Lin Feng. Her name is Leng Yuting and she is in the same class as us.
I only met her once, but just that one time, and I swear I never want to see this person again in my life.
"Mugwort?" Leng Yuting frowned and raised her eyebrows at me in an uncertain tone.
My scalp tingled as I nodded at her without saying anything. I walked around Mo Beibei who was still blocking the toilet door and prepared to close the door and change my sanitary napkin.
However, before I could close the door, Leng Yuting had already grabbed the toilet door and pulled me out as violently and rudely as I remembered.
I was thrown against the wall. When my back hit the hard wall, a sudden pain came over me and I couldn't help but frown.
I knew that nothing good would happen when I saw Leng Yuting again.
Every time I meet my ex-boyfriend's cousin, I feel heartbroken.
"What? We haven't seen each other for just over a month, and you're pretending not to know each other? I still remember you very clearly, Ai Ye!"
Leng Yuting approached me with a ferocious expression and grabbed my hair.
Everyone else in the restroom was rushing to gather and had left long ago. The only ones left in the huge place were me, who was being held in someone's hand, Leng Yuting, who was grinning, and Mo Beibei, who was standing aside in a daze with a serious expression.
I suddenly felt that the posture of the three of us was a bit weird.
I just don't understand. Lin Feng and I have nothing to do with each other anymore, so why is she still holding on to me?
"Classmate, have you grabbed enough? If you have, let go. I have a headache! The assembly whistle outside has been blown for a while. If you don't hurry up to assemble, then I will. If you are caught by the instructor, you will die! It's so hot today, it's not good for your health to toss too much!" I said to Leng Yuting with a smile, and reached out to pull her hands out of my hair.
Leng Yuting stood there in a daze, staring at me as I walked into the bathroom and closed the door.
In the squat toilet, the pool of blood left by Mo Beibei had not been washed away yet, and I felt a little annoyed.
Mo Beibei is such a clean person, why doesn’t she flush the toilet after using it?
Seeing how flustered and pale she looked when she first came out, could have been scared by a ghost?
I rinsed myself off and started to take care of my own business, but I heard Leng Yuting shouting angrily outside: "Ai Ye, you bitch, how dare you take Bei Bei's seat when there are so many empty seats?"
I have a headache. It really hurts.
I've been waiting here for a long time. If I don't go in, wouldn't it be a waste of time?
Besides, Mo Beibei’s name isn’t written on the toilet, and it’s not hers, so why shouldn’t she be allowed to squat there?
I rolled my eyes and muttered.
Fortunately, Lin Feng broke up with me, otherwise, his cousin’s temper would be really unbearable.
I felt annoyed. If Leng Yuting hadn't been waiting outside, I really wanted to finish my work quickly and leave.
I really don't want to see them again at all.
I really don’t want to recall anything about the past, family, love, and friendship.
"Ai Ye, your brain is damaged! It was me who led people to beat you up severely that time. It had nothing to do with Beibei. If you see my cousin again, tell him that Beibei came all the way here to study for him, just to be with him. He said one word and wanted to break up with Beibei, and said that he would never forgive Beibei in his life. Who wants him to forgive? Your matter has nothing to do with Beibei at all. I couldn't bear it and led people to do it. If you want to blame someone, blame me, don't blame Beibei! What's good about you? You are not as good as Beibei in everything, why should he wait for you? He said he wanted to break up right after school started. Ask Lin Feng if he still has a conscience? Beibei cried every day for her. Her body is about to collapse . Even her menstruation is not normal..."
Leng Yuting kept chattering outside, becoming more and more excited, but her voice was choked up at the end.
I looked at the menstrual blood stains falling into the white squat toilet, and the red liquid that I had just washed away appeared in front of my eyes. I was not shocked when I heard about Mo Beibei and Lin Feng. I couldn't tell what I felt in my heart, but I felt my eyes were dry.
My head, which had suffered a severe injury, was aching badly and my past memories became blurred. I hardened my heart and pressed the flush button. Looking at the bloodstains diluted by clean water, my nose felt a little sour.
After opening the door, I walked out with a calm expression, smiled calmly at Leng Yuting who had stopped cursing, then patted the shoulder of Mo Beibei who was crying with her head down, said "Remember to flush the toilet after using it next time", then pinched my nose and left.
Whether there is any hidden secret in the past is none of my business. No matter who is right or wrong, I just want to be reborn in those mottled years of youth.
However, if I really don’t care that much, what does the strong feeling of sourness in my eyes mean?
