When the night is too dark, even the stars cannot be seen, but my eyes can only see you clearly.

Because the head of the grade was too frugal, there was no air conditioning in the office. There was only a fan blowing a tired breeze, making people feel dizzy.
Li Ziye stood in front of the class teacher's desk, her eyes fixed on the fan spinning diagonally above her, praying that the class teacher's endless speech would end soon. Next to her stood a girl from the same class, who kept her head down from beginning to end, looking as if she had done something wrong.
"I'm telling you, what's going on with you two? Are you here to attend classes or to cause trouble? It's only been a short time since the start of the school term, and already so many of you have come to me to complain. Your deskmate has repeatedly raised objections and refused to sit with you. I've been teaching for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen students like you."
The head teacher wore glasses and had a sharp look that seemed as if he could dig two holes in their bodies.
The girl didn't say anything, and Li Ziye didn't say anything either.
The teacher became even angrier. He slammed the table and roared loudly enough to pierce a person's eardrums: "Did you two listen to what I said? Or do you plan to confront me in silence? Do you still want to stay in this school?"
The girl's body trembled, she buried her head even lower, and her body was shaking slightly.
After a moment, one or two sobbing sounds were heard.
If she had been told this by the teacher when she first entered school, Li Ziye would have cried. But she didn't know if it was because of Ye Xiang's words, but now she didn't want to cry. Instead, she stood up straight in front of the teacher, her expression didn't change much, and she replied: "Teacher, have you investigated the truth of the matter?"
The head teacher was stunned by her words, paused for a moment, and adjusted his glasses: "What are you talking about?"
“I say, why are you so sure that it is our fault? Have you ever thought that we are the ones who are being excluded and bullied?” Li Ziye said calmly, his voice firm and did not sound like someone who was being excluded and bullied at all.
The head teacher was particularly displeased by her tone, frowning and raising his eyebrows: "What's wrong? You guys are making so much trouble every day and you think you're right? You want to blame me for not checking it out, right? If it's not your problem, why would so many students stand up and say that you have a problem?"
Li Ziye didn't say anything else. He just turned his head away calmly, as if he didn't intend to argue with the head teacher anymore.
The head teacher thought she was really going too far, so he took out his cell phone and threatened her: "It seems that it is useless to reason with you. I will ask your parents to take you home and give you a good education!"
When he heard the word "parents", Li Ziye suddenly came back to his senses. His body trembled and he almost subconsciously uttered two words: "Don't..."
"Don't want to? Are you allowed to do whatever you want now?" The head teacher took out the attendance list without saying anything and started to look for her name.
Li Ziye couldn't help but rush over and put his hand on the roster: "Don't call, go ahead and scold me if you want, I promise I won't talk back."
Seeing how nervous she was, the head teacher thought she was scared, and curled her lips smugly: "Do you know you're wrong now? You were so arrogant just now, but who were you showing off to? Do you still take me, your teacher, seriously?"
Li Ziye didn't say anything, but his body trembled slightly.
She couldn't accept what her head teacher said, but she also didn't want her head teacher to call home.
She couldn't bear it when she thought of Mother Song's earnest words and Father Song's tolerant and concerned eyes.
She is an outsider in this family and she doesn't want to cause trouble or receive unnecessary attention.
Just when the two were in a stalemate, a voice suddenly interrupted: "Teacher, you are yelling and threatening like this, I want to know what her crime is?"
It was still a cool sound, but this time there was a hint of playfulness in it.
Li Ziye was stunned and turned around almost the moment he heard the voice. As a result, he saw Ye Xiang with his hands on his shoulders and a wicked smile.
He was holding a leave application in his hand. He must have just come to the office to ask the teacher for his signature... So he saw everything that happened just now?
The head teacher obviously knew Ye Xiang, the troublemaker, very well, so he rubbed his brows with a headache and said, "I am educating the students in our class. If you have any questions, go find your teacher and don't mess around here."
Ye Xiang smiled and shrugged: "I just can't stand some teachers who like to cause trouble for others."
"I'm causing trouble? Since the start of the school year, I don't know how many people have told me that they are difficult to get along with . One person said it might be extreme, but with so many people saying so, I don't believe there is no problem with them." The head teacher's tone was not as high as when he spoke to Li Ziye and the others.
"I saw this girl you said was difficult to get along with. She was blocked by your precious students in the back playground and slapped a few days ago. Does your logic, teacher, mean that people who can't get along well with others should be beaten?" Ye Xiang's mouth corners slightly curved, revealing a sarcastic smile. It looked like a light smile, but it inexplicably gave people a sense of pressure.
The head teacher was stunned for a second, then turned around to look at Li Ziye and another girl, and asked sternly: "Li Ziye, Meng Xiazi, which of you two was beaten? Why didn't you report it to the teacher in time?"
Meng Xiazi shrank back and said nothing.
Li Ziye took a deep breath. Perhaps it was Ye Xiang's words that gave her strength. She looked back at the head teacher and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone, "I was beaten. I think it's useless to say anything, so I won't say anything."
"Asshole!" The head teacher was provoked by her and became even angrier. His eyes were bigger than copper bells and his gaze was scorching. "What do you mean by that? Do you think I can't tell right from wrong, so it's useless to say anything?"
Li Ziye looked at her quietly for a long time before uttering one word: "Yes."
When she said "yes", Meng Xiazi next to her was startled and looked at her in surprise. Then, Ye Xiang's laughter could not be suppressed from behind them. Then, he left with a sentence "You are so stupid that you are hopeless" and turned away.
Coming and going like the wind, he once again left as if nothing had happened.
Li Ziye's palms were sweating. Although she knew it was unwise to confront the head teacher directly, she just felt that there were some things she had to say.
The head teacher was really angry, her face turned pale, her body trembled for a long time, she stared at Li Ziye and didn't say a word. Finally, she suppressed her anger with great difficulty, and she could only choke out one sentence: "Li Ziye, I don't care if you were bullied or beaten, you can't get away with it today if you openly contradict the teacher like this! Go back and write me a 3,000-word self-criticism and hand it in to my office tomorrow!"
Li Ziye frowned, but was not frightened. He just said calmly, "It's useless to talk if you can't tell right from wrong."
"You!" This Li Ziye was so bold that he actually used her words to challenge her! He was so disrespectful to his elders!
However, if she continued to care about it, it would only magnify her indiscriminate and indiscriminate investigation of the whole matter, so in the end she could only take a deep breath and said, "Li Ziye, I can't control students like you in the future. Since the two of you are so unsociable, why don't you just sit together!"
After yelling all these words in one breath, the head teacher took a big sip of tea and waved his hand to let them go out.
Of course, Li Ziye didn't want to stay any longer, so he turned around and walked out of the office without even saying hello.
Meng Xiazi bowed to the teacher and said, "Goodbye, teacher..." Then she followed Li Ziye back to the classroom.
When they returned to the classroom, everyone was waiting to see the show. But Li Ziye didn't give anyone a chance, she just walked back to her seat, looking aggressive, and several girls who wanted to ridicule her were blocked by her sharp eyes.
Meng Xia Zi looked much more embarrassed. She said nothing and hurriedly packed her things, her face pale from beginning to end.
The head teacher sent the class representative to announce the seat change, and the whole class was in an uproar again.
"Hahahaha...the two annoying guys in our class are going to sit together!"
"That's just right. It won't bring harm to others."
"That's right, a poor fellow and a fake arrogant one, what a perfect match."
…
Meng Xia Zi's face turned red with shame at what they said, and she seemed to want to dig a hole in the ground to hide in.
Li Ziye took a deep breath, glanced at the people around him, and uttered two words: "Shut up!"
I don't know if it was because they were surprised or really scared by Li Ziye's harsh tone, but the students around them suddenly became quiet. There was only the sound of Meng Xiazi packing her things and sitting down, and a slight sob - Meng Xiazi's eyes were already red, and she had been holding back her tears.
Li Ziye reached out and patted Meng Xiazi's shoulder, handed her a tissue, and gave her a friendly smile: "Don't cry, it's okay, we will be comrades in the future."
Meng Xiazi took the tissue and replied in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "Thank you."
Bai Yuwang turned around and looked at Meng Xiazi with resentment: "Meng Xiazi, how can you be treated so well? As soon as you arrived, you became comrades-in-arms with Li Ziye. I have worked so hard to please her for so long and I am still just an ordinary classmate. This is not fair!"
Li Ziye rolled his eyes at Bai Yuwang: "Don't joke around."
Bai Yuwang curled his lips and made a face at her: "I'm not kidding, I always speak seriously."
Li Ziye didn't say anything else, but just lowered his head to read.
Bai Yuwang hit a wall again, and could only sigh and turn away. Some of the words he said in a joking tone were 100% sincere, but Li Ziye was never willing to try to believe it, so no matter how serious his words were, they were just regarded as a joke.
Later, when Li Ziye recalled the time when she first met these people, she suddenly realized that Bai Yuwang had actually come much earlier than Ye Xiang, and treated her a thousand times better than Ye Xiang did.
However, as if it was destined, she only cared about Ye Xiang, and at that time, she only had Ye Xiang in her eyes. Love seems to never distinguish between early and late, and never has a reason.
If she thinks about it more carefully, many things were actually foreshadowed by fate, but she did not expect that the ending would be like that at the time.
Li Ziye didn't know when he started to pay attention to Ye Xiang's affairs. For example, some girls were discussing that someone in a certain class confessed to Ye Xiang and was rejected, or that Ye Xiang won the provincial first prize in a math competition and was praised by the school...
In short, this kind of gossip that she would never pay attention to in the past suddenly became the focus of her life besides studying.
Not only that, she got up earlier and earlier, just to catch the first bus with Ye Xiang every day. Although Ye Xiang seemed to not know her every time, never greeted her and just listened to music and read books with headphones, she liked to stay aside and watch him concentrate on reading.
Perhaps every girl at the age of sixteen or seventeen has admired a handsome boy in a white shirt, who was clean and clear, as if he was not of this world.
When Ye Xiang was silent, he exuded this kind of aura, a chilling arrogance that made people dare not offend him and instead respect him.
The more you look at his eyebrows, the more attractive they become. His eyes are narrow and long, and the originally charming shape of the eyes has been carved out to have a hint of hostility eyebrows are thick and neat, and there is a hint of sharpness in the brow peaks, which always makes people feel unpredictable and unapproachable.
Therefore, although Li Ziye had the urge to say hello countless times, she could only give up in the end. Although she now dared to challenge the teacher and few people in the class dared to bully her, when she met Ye Xiang, she seemed to have no confidence at all.
The ferocious little leopard suddenly turned into a docile and soft cat, very timid.
After knowing that Ye Xiang often went to the school library to borrow books, Li Zi went to the library more often at night, and often stayed in the library during lunch break. She did run into Ye Xiang a few times, but they basically just passed by in a hurry.
Finally one day, Ye Xiang stood in front of the bookshelf reading some materials and stayed there a little longer.
Li Ziye drank a whole bottle of water before he suppressed his anxiety. He mustered up the courage to walk up to Ye Xiang and said, "Student Ye, you should still remember me, right? My name is Li Ziye... You helped me twice before, and I want to thank you solemnly..."
You know, it is not easy for her to speak such a long speech from the beginning of school until now.
In fact, in the eyes of her classmates, she was just as cold and arrogant as Ye Xiang.
But before she could finish her words, Ye Xiang interrupted her calmly: "I don't remember." Then he took the book and walked to the library.
Li Ziye followed him unwillingly: "Impossible, you must remember me... didn't you speak for me in the office?"
Ye Xiang had no intention of answering her and quickened his pace towards the side door of the library.
Li Ziye's heart was pounding, but as if possessed by some mysterious force, he did not stop for a moment and followed him out of the library: "You said I was hopelessly stupid, how could you not remember..."
Ye Xiang finally stopped, and Li Ziye was secretly delighted. Then, Ye Xiang's voice, as cold as ice, rang out: "I said I don't remember, so I don't remember. If you have time to do these boring things, you might as well read a few more books to expand your brain."
Li Ziye was blocked by Ye Xiang's words and couldn't refute. She was stunned for a long time and could only watch him disappear in front of her with a cold back .
It would be a lie to say I wasn't hurt. It was as if I had gathered all my courage and built up a fire in my heart, but then someone poured a bucket of cold water over my head and completely extinguished it.
But she knew that Ye Xiang was only helping her because he saw injustice, and his personality was to keep strangers away. Moreover, he was so outstanding that there were many girls who liked him. She was not the most beautiful or the most outstanding among them, so she was not qualified to be remembered by Ye Xiang.
Maybe it's good enough to just watch silently.
