Heaven and hell may be equal. There are people pushing you upwards, while there are also people trying their best to pull you down.

Some things always disappear when we are not paying attention, such as time. When the spring sun melted the first snow, Wen Shu and her classmates also welcomed the new semester.
There is only one semester left until graduation, and everything is urgent.
On the first day of school, the students sat in silence, listening to the earnest instructions of their head teacher. For the first time, everyone felt they could listen patiently to the usually lengthy, preachy speeches.
About twenty minutes later, the head teacher concluded his speech: "Okay, I won't say much else. Keep going!"
The head teacher had left, and the next period of time was for independent study. Everyone began to do their own things, but I felt heavy in my heart when I was studying. The head teacher just said that Xu Xiaxia had temporarily asked for leave and her return date was undecided .
No one knows what happened.
During the winter vacation, Wen Shu was still in contact with Xu Xia Xia at first, but she didn't notice that the contact suddenly stopped one day. She didn't even reply to her "Happy New Year" message. At that time, she was worried that something might have happened to Xu Xia Xia.
Sure enough, she was absent on the first day of school.
Wen Shu stared at Xu Xia Xia's empty seat in a daze. After a while, she felt another gaze. She turned slightly and saw Zuo Rang. Zuo Rang smiled at her with pursed lips as a greeting.
Somehow, Wen Shu felt that his smile seemed a little forced.
Wen Shu turned around and unexpectedly saw Yu Qianlin lying on the ground with his back to her. He had ignored her since he came to the classroom. He just sat down and continued to lie there.
She sighed secretly and thought: Yu Qianlin seems to be particularly angry this time.
Xu Xiaxia was usually popular in school, and many people knew her. After she hadn't been to school for a week, rumors about her were rife. Some said her family went bankrupt, some said her parents had a car accident, and some said she was sick...
No matter what others speculated, the protagonist never showed up from beginning to end.
That day, Wen Shu asked the head teacher for Xu Xia Xia's address and planned to go find Xu Xia Xia. Before leaving the classroom, she paused for a second and looked at Yu Qianlin's seat. It was empty, and she felt empty in her heart.
Without the chattering Xu Xia Xia and Zuo Rang, and without the arrogant and tantrum-throwing Yu Qianlin, Review's life became stagnant again as before.
Habit is really a terrible thing.
The weather in early March was still very cold, and Wen Shu walked quickly on the road. Although she had wrapped herself tightly with a scarf, her hands and feet were still so cold that she almost lost consciousness. Fortunately, according to the address, it was just around the corner.
She stopped to take a deep breath and continued walking forward. Unexpectedly, before she took a step, she bumped into someone head-on.
The man lowered his head and hurriedly apologized to Wen Shu. He wanted to move forward but was stopped by Wen Shu: "Xia Xia?"
Xu Xiaxia was being chased all over the street. She didn't want to accidentally bump into Wen Shu. She pulled Wen Shu and tried to run, but it was too late. In a short moment, they were surrounded by several people with unfriendly faces.
"Let her go!" Xu Xiaxia was trembling with fear, but she still remembered that she couldn't implicate Wen Shu. Last time, this group of people smashed her house to pieces without caring about the people in the house. Her mother was accidentally injured in the same way. This place was sparsely populated, and she was afraid that Wen Shu would be injured as well.
"Let her go? Okay, tell me where Xu Zhigang is hiding, and I'll let you go!" The leader said lazily, reaching out his hand to touch Xu Xia Xia's face. The little girl's face looked more tender than tofu, and it must have been very soft to the touch.
"Let go of your dirty hands!" Wen Shu frowned and used all her strength to knock the man's hand away. She had practiced martial arts for a while, so her hands were quite strong, and the man's hand immediately turned red.
Xu Xia Xia grabbed Wen Shu's clothes tightly, her mind in a mess.
"Silly girl!" The man didn't want to suffer any loss at the hands of the little girl , and raised his hands in anger. Suddenly, he was stopped by a shout.
"stop!"
Yu Qianlin did not go home after school, but was called away by the head teacher. He hurriedly dealt with the head teacher and found that his class teacher was no longer in the classroom.
He ran out of the school and watched from a distance as Wen Shu hurriedly turned a corner, not taking the usual route home, so he hurried to catch up. Unexpectedly, as soon as he stopped, he saw someone attacking Wen Shu.
He rushed out from the darkness and stopped the man's actions.
The man stopped his hand in mid-air and turned back unhappily. Seeing Yu Qianlin, he spat on the ground and said, "Where did you come from, you stinky boy, meddling in other people's business!"
Yu Qianlin didn't even look at him. After confirming that Wen Shu and the other two were fine, he snorted coldly: "With so many of you, what's the big deal about bullying two little girls? Come to me if you have anything to say." As he spoke, he walked to Wen Shu and whispered, "You and Xu Xia Xia take this opportunity to leave."
Wen Shu looked at him disapprovingly: "Are you crazy?"
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
"You little brat, you don't know what's good for you... Come on!"
This group of people were used to bullying the weak with their numbers. Seeing that Yu Qianlin was ignorant of his own limitations, they rushed forward and started fighting with him.
Yu Qianlin used all his strength to block the attack of those people, but he was still hit by many punches. Wen Shu knew that this was not the time for her to show off her strength, so she took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and pulled Xu Xia Xia away.
Wen Shu had not run far when she felt Xu Xia Xia being grabbed from behind. She thought it was the group of people chasing her, so she turned around and was about to attack, but she found that the person behind her was Zuo Rang.
"Why are you running?" Zuo Rang looked at the two of them with a puzzled look on his face.
Wen Shu quickly explained a few words to Zuo Rang and handed Xu Xia Xia to Zuo Rang: "Take Xia Xia and find a place to hide quickly. I'll go help Yu Qianlin!" After saying that, he turned around and went back to the "battlefield"!
Xu Xia Xia was about to chase Wen Shu, but was stopped by Zuo Rang: "Their target is you, hide first!"
"But I can't drag Xiaoshu and the others down!" Xu Xia Xia tried hard to break free, but was stopped by Zuo Rang.
"Let go!"
"Be obedient!"
Two voices rang out almost at the same time, and both of them were stunned. Zuo Rang realized that his tone was not very good, so he softened his tone and persuaded Xu Xia Xia: "I will take you away first, then call the police and go back to rescue them, okay?"
Xu Xiaxia nodded blankly, and couldn't help looking at Zuo Rang who suddenly seemed a little strange. Zuo Rang felt her probing eyes, and his face was burning. He quickly changed the subject: "Let's go!"
Wen Shu went back and saw that there was a man behind Yu Qianlin who was about to attack him. In a hurry, Wen Shu blocked the attack with his arm. The iron rod as thick as his arm hit Wen Shu's forearm. She felt that her whole arm was in pain and she lost consciousness. Her back, which had been straight all day, collapsed. Tears gathered in her eyes because of physiological reaction.
Yu Qianlin heard Wen Shu's cry of pain and turned around immediately. He saw Wen Shu holding her arm and seemed to be about to fall to the ground at any time. He went forward and half hugged Wen Shu to support her body.
Wen Shu half leaned in Yu Qianlin's arms, endured the pain and looked at the gangsters coldly and said: "I have just called the police. If you want to wait for the police to come, you can continue."
The gang leader spat on the ground and said, "What bad luck! Let's go!" They were originally here to catch Xu Xia Xia. If they were caught by the police because of fighting with the two teenagers, it would be a loss. The gang followed him and left unwillingly. Although Yu Qianlin was young, he was quite skilled, so they didn't gain much advantage.
Seeing them walking away, Yu Qianlin immediately grabbed Wen Shu and asked her where she was injured.
At this moment, the piercing pain in Wen Shu's arm had passed, leaving only a dull pain and a horrifying purple bruise.
"I'm fine, let's go home." Wen Shu pulled down the sleeve that Yu Qianlin had just rolled up to check her injuries.
Yu Qianlin nodded and walked back with her in silence.
Wen Shu originally wanted to remind him that the martial arts school was not heading in this direction, but after thinking about it he decided not to say it out loud.
The atmosphere was somewhat silent. Thinking of Yu Qianlin's help today, Wen Shu decided to ease the silence. She asked, "How did you know I was here?"
This really stumped Yu Qianlin. He couldn't say that even though he was angry before , he had been secretly following her. He made up an excuse: "It was Zuo Rang. He wanted to find Xu Xia Xia, so I accompanied him to find her."
Wen Shu replied: "No wonder I saw him just now."
Yu Qianlin didn't expect that what he said casually would actually be verified: "Yes, you also know that these two people like to fight with each other. Zuo Rang must be worried if Xu Xia Xia doesn't come to school. " This is not a lie. Although Zuo Rang is still often not serious during this period, he always stares at Xu Xia Xia's seat in a daze and is often distracted when doing things.
Wen Shu said "Oh" and didn't say anything else. Yu Qianlin couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. After walking a few dozen meters, he suddenly heard someone next to him say, "Yu Qianlin, I apologize to you. I was wrong about the move last time. I said something too harsh. You've been angry for so long, it's time to calm down."
"Who... who is angry?" Yu Qianlin refused to admit it.
Wen Shu smiled and said jokingly, "Yes, no one is angry. I just made it up out of my imagination."
“Don’t…”
"Contact Zuo and let them do that." Wen Shu changed the subject.
Yu Qianlin curled his lips and took out his cell phone.
Regardless of the process, the two finally reconciled. Yu Qianlin looked at Wen Shu's profile and secretly made up his mind to protect her well in the future.
After meeting up with Zuo Rang and Xu Xiaxia, they found a milk tea shop to sit down. Xu Xiaxia saw that Wen Shu and Yu Qianlin were both injured, and her heart and eyes were full of apology.
"It's my fault that you got hurt."
Wen Shu's hand was no longer in pain, so Yu Qianlin insisted on going to the pharmacy to buy medicine for her, which made Xu Xiaxia and Zuo Rang see her scary scar. She comforted Xu Xiaxia: "It's okay, I'm fine."
"No, Xiaoshu, if it weren't for you today, I don't know what to do!" A lot of things have happened to Xu Xia Xia recently, and her mind has become a little heavy. As she spoke, her eyes began to turn red again, and her voice was tinged with tears.
Somehow, Zuo Rang felt uncomfortable watching Xu Xia Xia, who was no longer as lively as before. He ordered a cup of hot milk tea, hesitated for a while and handed it to Xu Xia Xia, then asked her carefully, "Has anything happened to you recently?"
Xu Xia Xia was silent for a moment, and finally told her friends what had happened recently.
It turned out that her father's company not only suffered a huge loss, but also borrowed high-interest loans. After the company went bankrupt, her father fled without a trace, leaving the mother and daughter to face these creditors. On New Year's Eve, the group of people just came to the door, and she was so frightened that she could only hide with her mother.
As she spoke, her body began to tremble again as if she were afraid.
Zuo Rang's eyes dimmed, and he consoled her, "It's okay. I...we will all protect you."
Wen Shu also spoke up: "Looking at this situation, your house should be uninhabitable, right? Where do you live now?"
Zuo Rang immediately pricked up his ears to listen, as this was also a question he was concerned about.
"My uncle's family. My uncle is quite powerful, so they only dare to come to school."
"Well, from now on we will take you home after class." Wen Shu suggested.
"No need to bother!" Xu Xia Xia quickly refused.
"What's the trouble? I'll take you there!" Zuo Rang was the first to speak out.
Yu Qianlin made the decision right away: "Okay! I'll leave her to you from now on." Yu Qianlin thought silently in his heart that this way he could continue to secretly take her home after school.
"Thank you." Xu Xia Xia thanked Zuo Rang.
Zuo Rang's face turned red little by little, but everyone's attention was on Xu Xia Xia, so no one noticed.
After discussion, the young men each shouldered their own mission and walked home under the clear moonlight.
