Chapter 8: Betrayal of Friends 2
“No…nor…”
Early in the morning, Wei Xi came to the high school class where the voice was found last night. He stood at the door pretending to be calm, pretending to be waiting for someone, and quietly pressed the time-space recorder.
As long as the boy is in the classroom, she can find him with the help of the space-time recorder.
However, she didn't expect that even after the class bell rang, there was no movement from the space-time recorder. Instead, she who was standing at the door attracted other people's attention.
When Wei Xi was peeking out the window at what was happening in the classroom, the boy sitting by the window said, "You must be a junior high school girl, right? Class is starting now, why don't you go back to the classroom?"
Wei Xi glanced around and found that there was an empty seat, so he quickly asked the boy, "Excuse me, who owns that seat?"
The boy glanced at the seat she pointed to and replied, "That's Chen Ran's seat. Are you looking for him?"
"Yes, I have something to discuss with him. Do you know why he didn't come?"
"I have no idea."
"Then do you know his home address?"
"I don't know. This guy is very boring in class and doesn't interact with others. I guess no one knows where his home is."
Wei Xi was about to ask more questions when she was patted on the shoulder. She turned around and found a teacher holding a handout looking at her.
"Which class are you from? It's already class time, why are you still hanging around outside?"
Wei Xi was so scared that he ran away, fearing that he would be punished.
"Oh no, I can't go back to the classroom now. I will be punished by the teacher to stand. What should I do?"
Wei Xi was wandering around the campus like a thief, not knowing where to go. At this moment, a colorful bubble floated past her eyes.
Hey, why are there bubbles flying over here?
Wei Xi looked up and found countless bubbles of different sizes falling from the sky. Looking carefully, he found that they seemed to be floating down from the roof.
Who is on top?
Wei Xi ran up curiously and found countless beautiful bubbles flying on the roof, sparkling in the sunlight.
"Fly, fly..." a familiar voice came.
Wei Xi stared at the beautiful girl standing in the middle of the bubbles with a bubble blower in her hand, and said in disbelief: "Meng Jinjin, you actually skipped class?"
Meng Jinjin was tilting her head back to blow out a string of bubbles of varying sizes when she suddenly heard someone calling her name. She was caught off guard and choked, letting out a deafening cough.
"Kaka, Weixi, you...kaka... why are here...kaka..."
Wei Xi hurried over and patted Meng Jinjin on the back: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."
After a while, Meng Jinjin finally stopped coughing and pushed Wei Xi away fiercely: "Why did you suddenly appear? Do you know that you almost scared me to death?"
Seeing her so fierce, Wei Xi's guilt immediately disappeared, and she said unhappily: "Come on, you blew so many bubbles and they all flew out. If it weren't for class, I would definitely be more than the only one rushing up."
"Okay, you're skipping class."
Meng Jinjin pointed at Wei Xi and yelled.
Mi Xi crossed her arms over her chest and sneered, "Aren't you skipping classes too? Don't yell at me so loudly."
"Oh, that's right..."
Unexpectedly, Meng Jinjin did not act as arrogant as usual. Instead, she walked to the edge of the rooftop with a depressed look and stared blankly into the distance.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Wei Xi, who was originally prepared to fight, walked to Meng Jinjin in surprise and asked with his head tilted.
Meng Jinjin said sadly: "It would be better if I was an only child, or if I had never been born."
Wei Xi's heart skipped a beat. Because this thought had flashed through her mind countless times, but she had never said it out loud. Now hearing what Meng Jinjin said, she couldn't help but sigh: "It's really hard to have such an outstanding brother to compare with."
"Why do you think so?" Meng Jinjin asked with some surprise.
"Let me tell you a story." Wei Xi leaned on the railing, looked up at the blue sky, and said slowly, "There was a girl who was very beautiful, had excellent academic performance, was good at singing and dancing, and had won many awards. Her parents were scientists, and her brother was a praised genius since childhood. In the eyes of others, this girl must be very happy, because she had everything others wanted, but no one knew how much pressure she had suffered since childhood because her parents and brother were too outstanding. What made her even more painful was that no one believed that she was unhappy. Whenever she was sad and wanted to talk, others thought she was complaining without reason. One day she met two equally outstanding and beautiful girls, and they became very good friends. She cherished this friendship very much, but the good times did not last long, and she knew the truth."
Wei Xi showed a bitter smile and continued, "They are fans and admirers of the girl's brother, and they are willing to be friends with the girl because they love her. The girl really cherishes this friendship, so although she is not very happy in her heart, she pretends to be indifferent and even makes fun of her brother. The girl's parents and brother are all abroad, and the girl has lived alone for a long time. Her birthday is coming soon, and she asked her parents and brother to come back to celebrate her birthday with her. Her parents and brother agreed, and the girl was very happy. The two friends also said they would attend her birthday party. The girl had been looking forward to it for a long time, but the day before her birthday, she received a call from her father saying that he could not make it back. She told the two friends the news disappointedly, and then..."
Her thoughts seemed to penetrate the white clouds and fly to that morning.
"Can you believe it? They just broke their promise!" Wei Xi angrily clattered on the keyboard. "I haven't seen them for four years! Am I so unimportant?"
"Xiao Xi, don't be angry. We are still here, right? Let's go sing together later!"
After seeing the replies from Qiao Jingling and Gong Yeli, Wei Xi's mood finally improved a little.
The agreed time was almost up. Wei Xi changed her clothes, combed her hair, and was about to go out when her cell phone rang. It was text messages from Qiao Jingling and Gong Yeli.
"I'm sorry, Xiaoxi, something urgent happened at home, so I can't come to sing ."
"Xiao Xi, I'm sorry, my mother is sick and I have to stay at home to take care of her. I hope you and Jing Ling have fun."
Wei Xi took her phone, put on her shoes, and walked out of the door aimlessly. When she came to her senses, she found that she had unknowingly walked to the university where her brother graduated.
"Hey, why am I here?"
Wei Xi thought about it and decided to go to the place where she and her family took photos. But when she walked past the school's flower bed, she suddenly found two very familiar figures behind the flower bed.
"Oh, I thought I could see Brother Weihan today."
"We stood Xiaoxi up. Xiaoxi must be pissed to death, right?"
"She doesn't know we are lying to her."
"Hey, are you really serious about being friends with Xiaoxi?"
"Xiao Xi is very cute. Of course I like her and would like to be friends with her. But don't you think Xiao Xi always hides herself very deeply and rarely speaks out her true thoughts? It's a bit tiring to have to make me guess every time."
"I feel the same way. Sometimes I feel like Xiaoxi doesn't consider me a friend at all. She just wants to have 'friends', but she doesn't care who these 'friends' are, right?"
"Yes, that's right, so I don't want to meet her today. I'll make it up to her tomorrow."
"But we both broke our promise. Is that really okay?"
"I thought you were going to sing with her, but you broke your promise and came here."
"Haha, this is considered a tacit understanding, right? We missed the appointment at the same time, and came here at the same time."
Listening to their laughter, Wei Xi's mind went blank. She didn't know how she left there, nor how she got back home.
But from that day on, she no longer wanted to see anyone or leave her room. She escaped into the virtual online world, playing games numbly every day, and living a life of day and night reversal.
Until one day, when she was frantically beating a monster in the game, the computer screen suddenly turned green, and then countless pink roses quickly appeared. When the screen was filled with roses, a few lines of large golden words slowly emerged -
Girl as beautiful as a rose , are you happy now?
Do you want to be happy?
Do you want to get the happiness you want?
Answer YES or NO, and your life is about to change.
"What is this?" Wei Xi moved the mouse in surprise, trying to erase the words, but it was completely useless.
Feeling annoyed, she moved the mouse to "NO" and clicked it, but nothing happened. So she clicked "YES" again, and the words on the screen rolled up and flew into a white envelope.
When the last word flew in, the envelope slowly closed, a delicate pink rose appeared on the envelope, and then with a "pop", the screen became black.
Before Wei Xi could react, the lights in the room suddenly went out and it became pitch dark around him.
"Strange, is there a power outage? Then let's stop playing and go to sleep." Wei Xi yawned and lay on the bed. Sleepiness overwhelmed her like a tide.
When she opened her eyes, everything changed...
