Chapter 6 Who is the traitor? 4
"Wei Xi, you are ranked last in the class again. When will you make progress?" The teacher's ruthless words made Wei Xi feel ashamed.
"Wei Xi, can't you try harder to perform your movements correctly?" The teacher's harsh criticism made Wei Xi wish he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
"Wei Xi, you are wrong!"
"Wei Xi, bad!"
"Wei Xi, that's not right !"
…
On the rooftop, Wei Xi sat dejectedly in a corner where the sun didn't shine, sighing, "Ah..."
Unexpectedly, a long sigh came from behind a pillar: "Ah... Eh? Wei Xi, why are you here too?"
Wei Lixuan jumped out from behind the pillar: "Haha, Wei Xi actually skipped class."
Wei Xi said unhappily, "Aren't you skipping classes too?"
"I'm not a real student, so it's okay for me to skip classes, but it's different for you." Wei Lixuan sat down next to Wei Xi carelessly, "Although your grades are not good, I know you are a good student. Why would you think of skipping classes?"
Wei Xi glared at him: "Why are you asking when you already know the answer?"
Wei Lixuan touched the back of his head and said, "How can you ask questions even though you already know the answer? I really don't know."
Seeing his innocent look, and thinking about how his grades were much better than hers, Wei Xi couldn't help but feel a little depressed: "Don't talk like you and I are not in the same class. Haven't I been criticized by all the teachers these past two days? I am too embarrassed to stay in class, so I don't want to go to class anymore."
"You can't skip classes. It's not like you can skip classes tomorrow just because you skipped today. Unless you escape to another world, you still have to go to school honestly. Just accept the reality." Wei Lixuan said.
Wei Xi pouted and said silently in her heart: "How do you know that I didn't escape to another world? I thought I would be happy and joyful in a new world, but I didn't expect it to be much worse than before."
Alas, in the previous world, although I would get angry from time to time because of my brother’s halo, and feel resentful for being ignored by my parents, but compared to being a poor and ugly person looked down upon by everyone in this world, the previous world was still better.
She used to envy those children who lived with their parents, thinking that was happiness as they could just go home and have the company of their family. But now she knows that is not the case at all.
Many parents in ordinary families have busy jobs, and their children have to help with housework when they get home, and often have to eat alone. In addition, parents are easily emotionally unstable, and they get angry at the slightest thing and control their children in all aspects. Although some of their words are indeed out of concern, they often say things that hurt their children's self-esteem.
Weixi's current parents are both ordinary office workers. Her father is very busy at work and leaves home early and comes back late, so he is often not seen.
Mom's work is not that busy, but because she is a community volunteer, she is often called away, so the housework falls on Weixi and Error Code 123.
However, the so-called latest household robot, Error Code 123, can't do any housework at all. The result of asking it to help is that the house becomes a mess, and in the end, Wei Xi still has to clean up the mess. This is many times more tiring than when Wei Xi lives alone, because the housework has doubled.
This is just a small problem. What gives Weixi the most headaches is her mother's various requests, orders and nagging.
Mom always says "this is for your own good", but many of her ideas are wrong in Weixi's opinion. If Weixi doesn't want to obey, she will be severely reprimanded. If Weixi argues, it will turn into a world war, but in the end, Weixi still obeys obediently.
Weixi finally understood why so many of her classmates used to say how open-minded her parents were, and now she secretly calls her mother a "tyrant".
She missed her real mother, and her resentment towards her parents dissipated a lot without her noticing.
After all, without comparison, you don’t know what is good or bad.
She used to complain and envy others all the time, but she never realized that she was also envied by others. It was not until she experienced this strange time travel and put herself in other people's shoes that she realized this fact.
But she could never go back.
Whenever she thought of this, she felt so sad that she wanted to cry.
The inability to adapt to the family and the hellish life at school made her unbearable. So she finally plucked up the courage to skip class today, but she had nowhere to go, so she could only sneak to the rooftop and stare blankly. Unexpectedly, she met the person she least wanted to meet.
"Wei Xi, what are you daydreaming about?"
A beautiful hand waved in front of Wei Xi, and Wei Xi said, "I was wondering when you can complete the task."
"I also want to finish the task quickly." Wei Lixuan said gloomily, "Otherwise I will have stolen in vain... and wasted this opportunity in vain."
"So what should we do now? We can't find Cheng Yizhi, we can't find the killer, and I can't go home..." Wei Xi said absentmindedly.
"Why can't you go home?"
Wei Lixuan's questioning words made Wei Xi realize that he had let something slip without realizing it. He was so scared that he quickly changed his words and said, "I mean you can't go home. If you don't complete your mission, do you have to stay here forever?"
"Of course not." Wei Lixuan held his head in his hands and said while lying on the ground, "By the end of the year, Cheng Yizhi should be preparing to hold a press conference on the time machine. By then, he will be under national protection, and I can return to the future. So, I just have to make sure I find him during this time."
"But you haven't found him yet, have you?" Wei Xi hugged her knees and said listlessly, "What if the killer finds Cheng Yizhi first? Wouldn't your mission fail?"
"There is indeed no news now, but this also proves one thing, that is, Cheng Yizhi is not in danger." Wei Lixuan stretched out his right index finger and shook it in the air, "I have already informed all the girls in the class. If any classmate suddenly asks for leave and does not come to school for unknown reasons one day, please notify me immediately."
Wei Xi didn't understand what he meant, so Wei Lixuan further explained, "Generally speaking, you will give a reason for your leave, but if something unexpected happens, you won't follow the normal process. Didn't we assume before that someone in this school is colluding with the killer? If they find Cheng Yizhi, they won't kill him immediately, because the time machine is too important. It changes the whole world, and the killer will definitely ask him to hand over the design drawings of the time machine first. In this way, at least two people will be absent for no reason, so don't I have a target?"
"But isn't your police badge broken?" Wei Xi was very puzzled by Wei Lixuan's optimism. "If the killer really captured Cheng Yizhi, could you rescue him?"
Wei Lixuan's expression froze, but he immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm a super space-time policeman picked from a hundred, and I'll show my skills when the time comes. The bell rings, and I won't dare to escape the next class, what about you?"
Wei Xi said nothing.
Because she didn't want to go to class at all.
"Wei Xi!" Mama Li suddenly rushed to the rooftop and said nervously, "I finally found you! Something terrible is going to happen."
Wei Xi asked with a guilty conscience: "Is it because I skipped class that the teacher wants to punish me?"
"No!" Mamali said anxiously, "Your mother called the teacher and said that your father suddenly fainted and was hospitalized!"
