She is in the fog

The time in the first year of high school passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the end of the semester.

After the final exam, He Xi stopped Wen Wan who was about to go home and said, "Wait a minute, I have something to tell you."

Wen Wan couldn't stand He Xi's careless behavior and couldn't help but roll her eyes: "What's the matter?"

“Is there a big tree in your grandmother’s backyard?”

Wen Wan was surprised: "How do you know?"

"Don't worry about how I know this. Anyway, don't climb it this summer. I have a feeling you'll fall from the tree and break your leg."

Wen Wan raised her eyebrows: "Who are you cursing?" Then she turned around and left without looking back.

He Xi sighed on the spot. Wen Wan was a student with sports expertise. In her previous life, she missed the opportunity to compete in another province because she fell from a tree, and she bid farewell to sports from then on.

Anyway, she has already reminded her, and she has done her best. As for whether Wen Wan believes it or not, or listens to it or not, that has nothing to do with her.

In the blink of an eye, the summer vacation is over.
The time has come to August 2012, 8, the day when He Xi and Ming Mei first met.

He Xi was so excited that he didn't sleep the whole night and set off for school at 6:20.

And on the other end——

"Boom boom boom——"
There was a knock on the door, followed by the caring voice of grandma Lin Ruxue: "Meimei, are you up? You have to report to the new school today, don't delay."

Mingmei suddenly woke up and replied in a daze, "I'm up."

"Breakfast is on the table. Your aunt has already taken care of the transfer procedures for you. Your grandfather and I have to go to the bank later, so we won't accompany you to school. Go to the office to find Mr. Jiang Qi, the teacher we met last time. He will arrange everything."
"it is good."

Mingmei lowered her head and looked at the place on her right arm that was burned by sulfuric acid. After more than two months, it had almost healed, but it was left with an ugly scar, which formed a sharp contrast with the surrounding fair and delicate skin.

She reached out and touched the scar, feeling the rough texture of the scar against her fingertips.

Scenes from the past gradually came to mind.

It was late June, during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, she was shopping outside to buy hair ties when she suddenly discovered that her classmate Bai Yanlang was being dragged into a nearby KTV by a group of hooligans. Bai Yanlang struggled desperately, and the leading boy slapped her in the face.

She secretly cried out inwardly, that group of people were not good people at first glance, Bai Yanlang was in trouble!

She called the police immediately, but thinking about what had just happened, she began to worry about Bai Yanlang's situation unconsciously. She felt that she should stop them and try to delay the time and wait for the police to arrive.

So, with a nervous mood, she bravely entered the KTV.

She was afraid that the front desk clerk was in cahoots with the group of boys, so she didn't ask the front desk clerk about the situation. Instead, she walked in quietly, searching for Bai Yanlang room by room.

All the rooms have the same decoration and doors. There is a notebook-sized transparent soundproof glass in the middle of the soundproof door, allowing people to see what is going on inside.

Mingmei looked at several doors but didn't see Bai Yanlang.

As I walked, I came to the door of another room. The door of this room was different from the doors of the other rooms. There was no glass on it. It was completely closed and I couldn't see clearly what was going on inside.

Mingmei guessed that Bai Yanlang must have been dragged into this room by them.

She took a deep breath and pushed open the door.

I quickly glanced around and saw that the room was full of smoke. Perhaps it was because the weather was too hot and the air conditioner was not on. The eight men were all shirtless, which was a very eye-catching scene.

The guess was wrong, Bai Yanlang was not here.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I went to the wrong room!"
Mingmei hastily apologized and quickly closed the door. Before the door was completely closed, she heard someone yelling from inside: "Who the hell came in last and didn't lock the door?"

Mingmei took a deep breath and went to another room.

Finally, at the door of the room at the end, Mingmei saw Bai Yanlang inside through the glass.

She was seen kneeling on the ground, with two boys beside her holding her hands, holding her shoulders and head, and picking up beer bottles to desperately pour beer into her mouth. The blond-haired boy sitting on the sofa opposite her was leisurely crossing his legs and resting his eyes.

Mingmei's brows gradually furrowed, and she immediately pushed open the door and shouted, "Stop it! Let her go!" The boy who was forcing her to drink stopped what he was doing, glanced at Mingmei, and turned his head to the blond boy, as if asking for his opinion.

The blond boy frowned and opened his eyes impatiently, but when he saw Mingmei's face, his brows relaxed instantly, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he stared into her eyes with a burning gaze, and asked curiously, "Who are you?"

"Don't worry about who I am! I've already called the police and they'll be here soon! I advise you to let her go!" Mingmei said loudly, trying to make her voice sound confident.

The blond boy smiled and raised his eyebrows towards Bai Yanlang, who was lying on the ground. "Do you know her?"

Bai Yanlang turned around and glanced at Mingmei, then nodded hurriedly at the yellow-haired boy: "I know him." Then she quickly lowered her head, looking very scared.

"Okay." The yellow-haired boy stood up from the sofa, cracked his knuckles, twisted his neck, glanced at Bai Yanlang, and said in a deep voice: "That's enough for today, let's go."

When he passed by Mingmei, he stopped deliberately and blew into her ear.

The smell of tobacco oil is really choking.
Ming Mei couldn't help coughing a few times. After they all left, she hurried forward to help Bai Yanlang up and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

Bai Yanlang shook her head and said "thank you" softly.

Mingmei saved Bai Yanlang, hoping to pull her out of the sea of ​​suffering, but unexpectedly, she sent herself into the abyss instead.

The boy with blond hair was called Yin Haotian, a notorious gangster in Qinglin City. Bai Yanlang had initially wanted to be friends with him for fun, but it turned out to be like a dog-skin plaster that she couldn't get rid of no matter what she did.

Now that he has set his eyes on Mingmei, Bai Yanlang pushes Mingmei out in order to get herself out of the situation. Not only does she tell him Mingmei's contact information and home address, she even asks Mingmei out in her own name. She says she wants to thank Mingmei for helping her, but in fact she just wants to create an opportunity for Mingmei and Yin Haotian to meet.

In the restaurant's private room, Mingmei looked at the bunch of rotten people in front of her and couldn't help wondering: "Why are you here? Where is Bai Yanlang?"

Yin Haotian, who was sitting in the middle, raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you say you wanted to see me?"

"I never said that."
Mingmei knew that she had been deceived by Bai Yanlang, and she was about to leave the room. Unexpectedly, Yin Haotian walked up to her in two or three steps and stopped her, saying softly: "Mingmei, how about being my girlfriend?"

"Daydreaming."

"You!" Yin Haotian raised his right hand high with a frown on his face, but put it down silently after seeing this face. "If I didn't want to see you, I would have beaten you up long ago. Don't be ungrateful!"

"I will never be your girlfriend in this life, wake up." Mingmei rolled her eyes, walked around him and left the private room.

With so many brothers present, Yin Haotian felt embarrassed and his proposal was rejected. He became angry and asked someone to find sulfuric acid.

The next day, Yin Haotian saw Mingmei sitting in a milk tea shop drinking milk tea and talking about something with a male classmate next to her. He became jealous and without saying a word, he picked up sulfuric acid and intended to splash it on her face. Fortunately, she stood sideways and avoided being disfigured, but her arm was badly damaged.

Mingmei has a tear incontinence physique and cannot control her tears when she gets emotional. But when the doctor was treating her wounds, even though the pain was burning her skin and heart, she did not shed a single tear.

However, when she returned to school to take the final exam after resting for a while, she burst into tears the first time she saw Bai Yanlang. She cried for her arm, but even more for humanity. Even though she didn't want to cry anymore, she couldn't stop crying.

Mingmei's parents were heartbroken. Although the instigator Yin Haotian had been criminally detained for intentional injury, they were still worried that he would retaliate in the future, so they planned to let Mingmei transfer to another school. However, at this point, the company notified the couple that they would be sent abroad and would not be able to return home for two or three years.

So they sent her back to her hometown, Nanzhou City, where her grandparents helped take care of her. And because her aunt taught at Nanzhou No. 1 Middle School, Mingmei was naturally transferred to Nanzhou No. 1 Middle School.

Today is the first day of school at Nanzhou No. 1 Middle School.

Mingmei found a red long-sleeved dress from the closet and put it on, deliberately covering the scar on her arm completely.

After going downstairs and walking out of the gate of the community, the sunlight just hit Mingmei. The morning sunlight was very soft, but she was so nervous about transferring to a new school that she almost fell asleep in the early morning. After falling asleep, she had a nightmare, which caused her eyes to be dry and painful when she woke up. She was a little afraid of the sun.

Her eyes were stung by the sunlight and she couldn't help but squint with tears in her eyes.

After adapting for a while, she strode into the light. When she saw her own shadow in the sunlight, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Don't be nervous, everything will be OK!"

A gentleman is cautious when alone. In the past two months, Mingmei hardly went out. She stayed at home and read many books. She also realized many truths. Besides, time will smooth out everything. She gradually put all the sadness out of her mind, and replaced it with yearning and expectation for a new life.

She walked to Wutong Road Station and waited for bus No. 108. Her destination was Nanzhou No. Middle School.
