Bian Heng praised Lin Shicha for being a cute little ghost. They talked for a while, and Bian Heng then casually bent down and pressed his forehead against hers, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Lin Shicha was startled, and subconsciously pursed her lips. After two seconds, she raised her smile again, "No, did you see the medicine bottle at my house?"
"I checked. Baidu Baike says it's not a serious illness, seems like a minor one. I breathed a sigh of relief. What if it were a terminal illness," he exaggerated.
Through Lin Shicha's strange drawings, Bian Heng also knew that she might be psychologically different from normal people.
This understanding made Bian Heng's heart even heavier, he never knew that there were so many problems with her.
Lin Shicha listened and shook her head, "No, I'm not uncomfortable."
"That's good." Bian Heng stood up and smiled at her, "The second half is about to start."
Lin Shicha nodded, "I hope the summer sports meet starts and you can win first place for our school." She smiled, her eyes curved, a breeze blew over, and her bangs in front of her forehead swayed slightly, simple and beautiful.
After the basketball game, the school began to prepare for the four-school sports meet in June. The sports meet was a big deal, this year it would be held at the art school, while last year it was at the Third Middle School where Huo Yinan was located.
Lin Shicha was quite looking forward to it because she had never been to the art school. It was said that there were many handsome and beautiful students at the art school. Sixty percent of the students in the last school flower and school grass selection contest were from the art school.
Lin Shicha was crowned the school flower of the four-schools, while the school grass title went to Shenmo.
It's not that the other three people were not as handsome as Shenmo, but their names were generally not as well-known as Shenmo's. Shenmo had too many female fans, and in comparison, Huo Yinan and Bian Heng were the kind of boys who kept a low profile. Although Chixing had a high popularity, he had no interest in winning the title, and others were afraid of provoking him by voting for him.
The whole school could go to the art school to watch the students with the highest looks, and the school forum was lively for a while.
Lin Shicha chatted with Baisheng He about this, asking if he had signed up for any sports events.
Baisheng He: Is there an e-sports event?
Lin Shicha replied with a dumbfounded cat face: No, there isn't.
Baisheng He: Then I won't sign up.
Baisheng He's chat sentences were short and had punctuation marks after each sentence, making them look very serious.
After chatting for a while, Baisheng He straightforwardly said, "Log in, I'll take you to play games."
Lin Shicha happily responded with a "Okay," quickly logged into her account, and started a voice chat with Baisheng He to join the team.
Lin Shicha asked, "He'er, why did you choose this id? It doesn't match your temperament at all."
Bai Shenghe's tone paused for a moment, seeming to be quite vexed as well, "Whatever id I tried was already taken. I randomly pressed a few buttons and it actually worked."
Obviously, Bai Shenghe also didn't like this id very much. But now, short ids in the game are quite valuable, not to mention that this id is also a part of her name. Once she changes it, there will be people rushing to claim this id. And if she wants to change it back later, she'll have to spend money.
Not to mention, even if she doesn't want to change it back, it's still uncomfortable seeing someone else using her name.
Just as the two finished a game and came out, Lin Shicha received a message from Chi Xing: "Carry me."
He was also online in the game. Lin Shicha informed Bai Shenghe, and she agreed.
When Chi Xing entered, he also turned on the microphone without any reservation, "Bai Shenghe, what's the meaning of taking our little cutie to play games without playing rank, only playing casual mode?"
Bai Shenghe was very composed, "I'm glad to."
Bai Shenghe glanced at Chi Xing's game id and seemed to grasp something, but she didn't show it. Instead, she sarcastically commented, "Non-mainstream."
Bai Shenghe mocked Chi Xing's non-mainstream id.
Chi Xing almost started arguing with Bai Shenghe on the mic. Lin Shicha took a look and saw Chi Xing's id was actually: "Heart to Tea."
But Bai Shenghe also understood that with this id, it was evident that he was refusing the flirtation of some girls in the game. Observing him, it was certain that he would be a singleton for several seasons, remaining pure and not hitting on girls in the game.
"If you can do it, why don't you carry her?"
"Compared to you, you carry her."
"You don't agree? You carry her to the King of Glory."
"I will if I want to, whether you ask me or not, you count as a [beep]."
"Solo, speaking so loudly, come on."
"I can't? I'm afraid you won't! Come on!"
Sure enough, they went as soon as they talked about it. Lin Shicha was confused. Those two went solo, leaving Lin Shicha alone, staring at the game screen, waiting for their return.
Bored, she clicked on Chi Xing's profile to look, and was slightly surprised when she saw that Chi Xing didn't seem to play games frequently, had good self-control. But below his game id, there was a big label of the national server.
"National server Hua Mulan."
Lin Shicha was surprised for a moment, looking at the display of the hero's skins in Chi Xing's profile. The movements were fluent and handsome, and the hero's voice was particularly powerful, "Hold the reins, this life together, fight for Huang's power, carve a marquisdom!"
Could he be the type of someone Bai Shenghe mentioned in the game, a random king?
After pondering for a while, within ten minutes they returned. When asked, it was revealed that they played solo using their best heroes. Surprisingly, there was no first-blood for the first seven to eight minutes, both were cautious and nervous, until the ninth minute when Bai Shenghe took down Chi Xing, winning the game.
Learning this result didn't surprise Lin Shicha at all. She chuckled, "He'er is really good. She's going to be a professional player in the future. A casual player like you definitely can't beat her."
Chi Xing grunted, "Hmph," "Best of five, I'm sure I could beat her."
Even Bai Shenghe agreed, "Yeah."
In order to play with Lin Shicha, Chi Xing specially opened a new account the next day, and every night from seven to nine, he would duo with Lin Shicha. After a week, he managed to carry Lin Shicha to the diamond tier. After reaching this point, Lin Shicha struggled, as she didn't really know how to play.
Chi Xing didn't mind, saying, "I'll play for you."
Lin Shicha asked, "But even if you carry me to the King of Glory, I still won't know how to play. What if my teammates scold me?"
"That's easy, just block your teammates' messages as soon as you enter the game, just enjoy playing by yourself. No matter how much you drop, the next day, I'll help you climb back up."
Lin Shicha grumbled a bit, but eventually agreed.
Chi Xing is a typical hypocrite, criticizing his teammates when they play poorly, but when with Lin Shicha, he doesn't complain or scold, maybe because of Lin Shicha's influence. He can slightly understand why his teammates are not good. In such situations, he doesn't curse or nag at others.
After the game, Lin Shicha stood up from the chair and felt dizziness and blurred vision. She instinctively touched her nose and found that it was bleeding. She was taken aback, immediately leaned back and went to the bathroom while locking the door.
Her pale face reflected in the mirror, she breathed lightly, blood staining her clothes. She exerted force, her weak back of her hand revealing faint blue veins, feeling dizzy, her vision went dark.
The mirror in her sight gradually moved up, and everything became unclear.
It wasn't clear how long it took before Lin Shicha regained consciousness. Looking around, she was weak, sitting next to the sink. The nosebleed had stopped, but her nightdress was totally ruined, and she didn't have the strength to lift her hand.
"Cha Cha... I called you just now, but you didn't answer. Didn't you hear? What were you doing in the restroom? Taking a bath?"
Lin Chunhua's voice came from outside.
Lin Shicha tried to regain some energy and answered loudly, "I just finished taking a bath and washed my clothes and came out. Grandma, you should go to sleep first."
Lin Chunhua responded, and then closed her bedroom door, extinguishing the light from outside.
After the sports meeting, she should take a leave of absence and go home. Otherwise, her condition would surely be revealed at school.
Thinking this way, Lin Shicha struggled to stand up, went to the sink to wash her face, then went to the bathroom and took off her nightdress, throwing it on the floor. The water from the shower flowed down the ground along with the red bloodstains on the nightdress.
Lin Shicha just dampened her hair, turned off the tap, and pretended to have finished taking a bath. She casually cleaned the bloodstains from her nightdress and hung it outside on the balcony.
But after not taking the medication for half a month, it had come so quickly.
But she didn't feel too unwilling, being able to accompany her grandmother for a little longer was already very happy.
Sitting on the bed, she wiped her hair, but she should... she should bid farewell properly.
The sound of the waves whistling past her ears, Lin Shicha felt a trance, imagining a mermaid swaying in the sea. She knew it was just an auditory hallucination.
After the hallucination came tinnitus, lasting for five minutes before it subsided. Lin Shicha lay on the bed, her hair wet, closing her eyes.
She slept deeply in the night, and Lin Chunhua woke her up.
Lin Chunhua straightened Lin Shicha's clothes and said, "Isn't today the sports meeting of the four schools? Although we can't participate in any event, it's okay to go and have some fun."
"Okay, I got it," Lin Shicha said obediently.
At eight o'clock in the morning, a teacher from One Middle School led the students to line up at the gate of the art school. When they arrived, the neighboring Second Middle School and Third Middle School had also arrived. Since the number of students in each school was not particularly large compared to the high schools in the urban area, the entry speed was quite quick.
Lin Shicha saw Chi Xing, who was standing at the back, looking for her figure. They smiled at each other, and Chi Xing gestured for them to meet after going inside, to which Lin Shicha nodded.
In the queue of the Third Middle School, Gu Yin came to stand next to Huo Yinan and poked his arm, saying, "Hey, I see her."
"She's sending secret messages to Chi Xing," Gu Yin said in a hushed voice, sneaking a glance at the other side.
Huo Yinan withdrew his arm, appearing indifferent. "Restrain yourself a bit. Don't talk about personal matters in public."
Gu Yin was almost choked by her own saliva, and she impatiently slapped him on his arm, saying, "Restraint? Private matters? Why don't you just shut up. It's just because there are a lot of people here that you're embarrassed to mention your crush."
Huo Yinan looked at her coldly.
Gu Yin waved her hand and smiled, "Okay, okay, can't I understand? Look at me." She rolled up her sleeves and adjusted her appearance.
Huo Yinan asked, "...What are you doing?"
"I'm going to tease her a bit," Gu Yin cleared her throat and muttered to herself, "How to show a domineering attitude, oh like this." She changed her tone several times, tossed her head, and looked arrogant.
Huo Yinan couldn't catch up with her, and his face turned dark.
There was a commotion in the crowd, and someone grabbed Lin Shicha's arm, causing her to turn back from looking at Chi Xing. Following the gazes of the people beside her, she saw a girl in the uniform of the Third Middle School walking towards them. Her hair fell to her waist, and the ends were curled, while her eyes and brows were delicate and radiant.
Her appearance was impeccable, every detail including her eyebrows, eyeliner, and red lips were exquisite.
People around recognized her.
The girl stood with her arms crossed, slightly bending forward to confront Lin Shicha. "You're Lin Shicha, right?" Her eyes swept over her, sizing her up. "You don't seem to be anything special."
Lin Shicha remained silent, just looking at her.
"It's your innocent face that has attracted my Huo Yinan," she said with a slight frown, scrutinizing Lin Shicha.
It was not a secret that Lin Shicha was admired by the famous students of the four schools, and it had already spread across the joint school forum.
"What's it to you?" Lin Shicha asked in surprise.
"What's it to me? I grew up with him, and you've snatched him away halfway. You tell me, isn't it my business?" She gave a half-smile, lifting Lin Shicha's chin with her hand.
No one around spoke, all just watching the scene.
On the side of the Second Middle School, Chi Xing finally saw the situation. He was furious, but was held back by the people around him. "Hey, hey, you can't interfere in girls' matters, and you can't hit a girl, can you?"
Lin Shicha suddenly realized, looked at her for a while, and then spoke, "You like Huo Yinan."
The girl was originally going to admit it directly, but when she heard these words, she paused strangely for two seconds before nodding. "Yes!" She deliberately raised her chin to look arrogant.
"Oh..." Lin Shicha thought for a moment. "Then I will give him to you."
"That's right, give..." She started to say, as if it were a matter of course, but she stopped abruptly, immediately looking at Lin Shicha. Only her natural cheeks were visible. "Give him to me?!!!" She was partly angry, partly astonished in her response.
"Yes, you're so pretty. Can we be friends?" Lin Shicha blinked genuinely.
She seemed to be choked by Lin Shicha's words, feeling both angry and speechless, and then left in a huff.
"What's your name?" Lin Shicha asked as she followed her.
Without turning back, she said, "What business is it of yours? You're not qualified to know my name!!!" She almost shouted it out.
Coincidentally, someone called her from a distance, "Gu Yin, the teacher is calling you to return to the team!"
Gu Yin stumbled a bit, grumbling in anger; there was nothing more embarrassing than a public confrontation.
"Which Gu? Which Yin?"
Lin Shicha unexpectedly asked from behind, leaving Gu Yin in despair.
At eight-thirty, the three schools entered the arena and took their seats. As the sports meeting began, the other four people came over to find Lin Shicha. This was the second time these four people had gathered since the embarrassing incident at the broadcast studio.
It was quite extraordinary.
Chi Xing and Shenmo had already been getting along well lately, so it was unclear why they were suddenly at odds again, creating a palpable chill in the atmosphere.
Huo Yinan was still in the Three Middle School's seating area, and Lin Shicha went to find him. Huo Yinan saw her standing below, attracting everyone's attention, so he had no choice but to go down and meet her.
The first thing they said when they met was, "Gu Yin has told me what you said."
Lin Shicha said, "Do you agree then?"
"What do you take me for?" Huo Yinan asked in return. He didn't say that it was a joke by Gu Yin, intended to tease her, but she didn't seem to get jealous and was instead generously offering him away.
"I don't take you for anything," Lin Shicha said naturally. After a pause, she said, "Huo Yinan, how about getting your tattoo removed on the weekend? Gu Yin is quite good-looking, and she likes you too."
The words she didn't say were: You should agree with her.
Huo Yinan fell silent for a moment, "What's wrong with you."
"Hmm?" Lin Shicha was puzzled.
"When did you become so generous," Huo Yinan sneered, "You used to not want to lose any of us, even if you didn't want to be in a relationship, you would still cling to each one of us and not give up. It's excessive and cruel. What's gotten into you now?"
Lin Shicha listened but didn't say anything, as if she was thinking about what he said and then revealed a pure smile, "Because, I'm going to transfer to another school after the sports meet, so I won't be in the same city as you guys anymore."
"I can find another school to find a boy who truly likes me," Lin Shicha said matter-of-factly, releasing her grip on Huo Yinan's clothes. "Is that not okay?" she asked Huo Yinan.
Huo Yinan was stunned by Lin Shicha's words, not knowing if it was because she was transferring schools, or because the content of her words was too much.
"What are you talking about," a sleepy voice appeared behind Lin Shicha, unfriendly in tone.
Lin Shicha turned to look, and Bian Heng, Chi Xing, and Shenmo were all there.
Shenmo grinned at Lin Shicha and waved his hand.
Huo Yinan's face turned cold, "It's none of your business."
This was the first time Huo Yinan had spoken so aggressively and confrontationally, leaving both Bian Heng and Shenmo stunned, while Chi Xing just laughed, "Why is it not my business?"
Chi Xing walked to Lin Shicha's side, "She's mine," blocking Lin Shicha's line of sight.
Lin Shicha took a step back, watching as Chi Xing and Huo Yinan seemed to be about to fight, the atmosphere tense, and Bian Heng felt a headache coming on, rubbing his forehead, "Hey, can you guys just talk, and stay calm."
"Get lost!" Chi Xing pushed Bian Heng aside.
Shenmo: "Bro, this is not the time for a fight, is it?"
Lin Shicha felt dazed for a while, the voices of the four of them seemed unreal in her ears, sometimes clear and sometimes blurry, as if there was a drumhead against her ear, blocking her hearing.
Auditory hallucinations struck again.
Even the slightest sound was like the sharp sound of a blade sliding, and the ringing in the ears made her dizzy and nauseous, the mermaid by the sea flapping her tail against the rocks.
Her throat was dry and sore, and her nose felt hot.
Lin Shicha quickly turned around, covering her mouth and nose with her hand, walking out.
"Chacha... where are you going?" It was Shenmo's voice, hesitantly and strangely asking.
The girl walking out didn't answer his question, just quickened her pace, her steps slightly floating and abnormal, her heart beating so loudly that she couldn't hear anything else.
Around her, there was nothing.
Suddenly, someone grabbed her arm and forced her to turn around, unguarded, her hand covering her nose was pulled away, and she saw blood, and behind Chi Xing.
A panic flooded her heart, and she screamed and pushed Chi Xing away, starting to run outside.
She was seen.
She hadn't run two steps before she stumbled and fell to the ground, her consciousness suddenly plummeting into darkness.
"Oh my god, so much blood!"
"Lin Shicha is bleeding from her nose!"
"When she opened her mouth, there was also a lot of blood in her mouth, it's so frightening."
"Look at her complexion, it's as pale as paper."
