Each class usually has one or two marginal characters who are introverted, taciturn, usually have few friends, and are even ostracized and bullied.
Boyhood is the time when people are at their purest and can also be said to be their worst. Maybe they will not be as money-worshipping, snobbish and snobbish as in movies and TV shows, but they may often exclude and isolate someone for a simple reason, and even take the lead when someone else takes the lead.
Bullied and bullied.
The reasons are often just trivial things, such as sloppiness, bad appearance, foot odor, body odor, and some inconspicuous rumors.
Of course, more often than not, the most important thing is that the person is introverted, has low self-esteem, is not good at communication, and has no friends.
Tang Youxin is such a standard marginal character.
I go to and from school alone every day, always looking down at my toes as I walk, just like looking at people with my forehead, never daring to raise my head to look at people.
Perhaps because her family background is not very good, she is a bit introverted and has low self-esteem, and she has almost no friends. Although her classmates do not deliberately exclude her, they cannot get together because of her personality. The only time she has a sense of presence is probably when the teacher calls her name.
"Could it be that she is a hidden treasure beauty?"
Xia Xu was a little curious.
Rather than making a mistake with Goldfinger, he was naturally more willing to believe that he had not had the vision to discover beauty before.
Although this planet is called Aquamarine and the country it is in is called Xia Country, it is roughly the same as that of China on Earth. No matter how good your figure is, you won’t be able to see it under the conventional bloated and ugly school uniforms. Otherwise, Hua Country’s school uniforms
It will no longer be dubbed as an anti-puppy love tool by many people.
The same is true for her face. Tang Youxin lowered her head all day long, and most of her face was covered by the long black hair on her cheeks and temples. In addition, she rarely interacted with others, so it was normal for her not to be noticed.
The more he thought about it, the more curious and unbearable he became. Xia Xu couldn't help but get up and get closer.
Tang Youxin was lying face down on the table. She seemed to be sleeping, but when she got closer, she could see that her body was trembling slightly.
"Cried?"
Xia Xu lowered his body in confusion, wanting to confirm.
He had never seen this kind of scene of crying on the table. Many people were like this when they were sobbing quietly, their bodies shaking.
However, after bending down, Xia Xu realized that he had guessed wrong. Tang Youxin was not crying, but quietly eating in small sips, as if she was stealing snacks in class.
But it's not class time now.
On the contrary, this is the time for lunch break.
But...seeing what Tang Youxin was eating, he probably understood the reason.
It was a gray-black buckwheat steamed bun.
The reason why I lay on the table and ate secretly... probably because I didn't want them who were still in the classroom to see it.
Tang Youxin's family background is not good, and she was a poor student for several years in high school. This is something that many people know, but they didn't expect it to be so bad.
Xia Xu actually understands this feeling of embarrassment. He was also an orphan and he himself was poor when he was a child.
quiet!
As if she sensed that someone was looking at her, the girl who was lying on the table eating quietly made a move, her whole body stiffened, and her whole body seemed to become tense.
"How about...I treat you to dinner?"
Xia Xu hesitated, not knowing whether he should continue speaking.
This may stimulate the girl's self-esteem even more, but the situation at the moment is actually embarrassing enough, so this sentence is not enough.
After hearing this, Tang Youxin's stiff body trembled, but she did not reply. She was still lying face down with her forehead on her arms and her expression could not be seen.
However, after a moment's pause, the girl's body continued to tremble, and she took another small bite of the steamed bun.
Maybe this is the 'reply'.
"Aren't you choking and panicking like this?"
Xia Xu was helpless, feeling inexplicably like he was talking to himself with a hamster or a little white rabbit.
"No... no need."
Finally, Nuo Nuo's voice came out, but it was still coming from lying on the table. It was as soft as the moan of a mosquito. If you don't pay attention carefully, you might not be able to hear it.
The weak and shy tone, the soft and sweet voice, inexplicably gave rise to a conflicting desire to bully and protect.
"Then why don't you treat me to a meal? I just don't have anything to eat."
Xia Xu was so frightened that he stretched out his hand and snatched away more than half of the buckwheat buns left by the girl. He stuffed them into his mouth fiercely and ate them whole in just a few bites.
I wanted to see the girl's panic when she raised her head and tried to snatch it back, and then treated her to a meal as compensation.
Unexpectedly, Tang Youxin didn't do what he expected. Instead, after he finished eating, she weakly handed another one over to him: "Do you want... more? There's another one."
"I'm just robbing you and bullying you. Be serious."
Xia Xu was made angry and funny, but seeing the timid look of the girl bowing her head, she was a little touched inexplicably.
At this time, he had forgotten his original intention of seeing the girl's true face. He just watched her bury her head in her chest when the ostrich insisted on reaching out and handed over another steamed bun. He simply took it and ate it again.
Clean and tidy.
"Any more?"
Holding the white plastic bag that had just contained the buckwheat buns, Xia Xu asked with an evil voice and knowingly.
"there is none left."
Tang Youxin seemed to be frightened, trembling slightly like a frightened little white rabbit, and then responded weakly.
"That won't work. I'm not full yet. Let's go out and continue eating."
Xia Xuqiang pulled Tang Youxin and left. Several people in the classroom either watched the show or hesitated to speak, but no one stepped forward to stop him.
"I...I have no money."
"I invite you."
"I do not want……"
"I didn't ask for your opinion, I just informed you that I am a principled person. If you treat me to a meal, I will treat you back."
After all, the strength of girls was weaker than that of boys. Xia Xu, half dragging and half dragging, finally pulled Tang Youxin to the school gate. Worrying about her introverted temperament, she finally found a noodle shop with relatively few diners and walked in.
Xia Xu really couldn't afford to pay for a hotel stay now. In reality, there aren't that many rich second-generation people spending tens of thousands of dollars in pocket money. It would be good for a high school student to have a hundred or ten dollars in pocket money.
What's more, Xia Xu is actually an orphan, but her parents left a house and a small amount of savings. Naturally, her situation is better than that of Tang Youxin, but it is actually limited.
This noodle shop is opened at the front gate of the school, but most people prefer to go to the back door of the school where there are more snacks, so the business of the noodle shop is relatively poor and it is very deserted.
Xia Xu ordered two bowls of the most common fungus and shredded pork noodles, paid the bill in advance, and took Tang Youxin to sit down at the dining table in the corner.
Not long after, the boss brought a steaming bowl of misty noodle soup and placed it in front of Xia Xu.
"Eat."
Xia Xu pushed the noodle bowl to Tang Youxin.
"don't want."
Tang Youxin still buried her head in her chest and did not dare to raise her head, but she still saw Xia Xu's movements.
As if avoiding a snake and scorpion, she shrank her whole body back, her buttocks moved back as if on pins and needles, and stretched out an index finger like a thief, poking at the bowl, and quietly pushed towards Xia Xu, as if silently
protest.
"Eat quickly."
Xia Xu pushed the bowl that he had finally poked back to its original position with a push of his hand. He said with a straight face, "I'm telling you, I also have self-respect. Am I no longer a beggar when I eat for free?"
Others will say that I am poor and must be invited back to eat quickly."
"me……"
Tang Youxin was so shocked that her body trembled, and she said aggrievedly: "Just eat, don't be harsh on me, okay..."
"Then eat, eat them all."
Xia Xu found that this seemed to be the most effective way to communicate with Tang Youxin, and he couldn't even talk properly.
"oh……"
Tang Youxin let out an aggrieved "Oh" and reluctantly placed the two fingers of her right hand on the edge of the table like a human leg walking. She fumbled and moved it to the bamboo tube where the chopsticks were inserted. Then she took the chopsticks and took a small bite.
