Chapter Eighteen: Ten Years, The Reaper's Scythe Arrives
The entire high school department was abuzz with speculation and investigation into Tang Wei's identity, which from Su Can's perspective was probably the prototype of "human flesh search" in later generations. The physical education class of Class 5 not only coincided with that of Class 3 of Grade 1 but also had the same class schedule as two classes of Grade 2.
Class 22 of Senior High School has been a class with many disputes and conflicts since the first year of high school. The class is led by Wang Haoran and Yue Zijiang, who have gathered a large number of children of cadres. Wang Haoran is currently the nephew of Wang Jinrong, the deputy secretary of the Xiahai Municipal Party Committee. He has many followers in school and is arrogant and domineering. Several violent conflicts in school have involved his group.
It's said that he even used a desk to smash someone, causing them to bleed internally. This matter was also left unsettled. Of course, Su Can didn't know about these things until he came to Municipal No. 1 Middle School and heard the rumors.
However, recently during multiple physical education classes and between-class periods, some of the more prominent students from Grade 2 would appear in the activity area and corridors near Class 5. Sometimes they wouldn't forget to glance into the classroom, seemingly searching for something until they saw Tang Yu.
One afternoon during physical education class, a tall boy holding a basketball finally stood in front of Tang Yu. This matter was different from when Xiao Yunyun sent Coca-Cola to Su Can with a loud bang, because that was inherently dramatic - the class flower of Class Three actually had a crush on herself, who was previously unknown and unremarkable, while her own classmates didn't have even half a bit of respect for her, roughly being able to joke around freely.
However, when the boy stood in front of Tang Yu, no one cheered, and even Zhang Xi, Sun Zi Yi, Li Ai, and several other classmates who were playing soccer on the field stopped competing and turned around to look over.
The whole process was very quiet, the man was tall and handsome, smiling with a few open-minded fans, Tang Yu still had that calm and peaceful appearance, listening to the man saying something, nodding occasionally, and occasionally shaking his head with a slightly red face.
The man was a bit disappointed, but still maintained his sunny demeanor and waved goodbye as he returned to his own court.
After this, during a 20-minute break between classes, Tang Yu received a love letter. Then, news that Yue Zijiang, a student in Class 2 of the high school who was known as the "school grass" throughout the campus, had officially pursued Tang Yu spread like wildfire.
Tang Yu first rejected Yue Zijiang's confession, but Yue Zijiang was very clever and knew how to treat a girl like Tang Yu. He understood that being too aggressive would not be a good approach, so he started by becoming friends with her and took things slowly.
After getting in touch with Tang Yu as ordinary friends, Tang Yu's head, which had always shaken off his pursuit, finally nodded, and this gesture was pure and beautiful, making Yue Zijiang feel that he had found the princess worth pursuing for a lifetime, standing right in front of him.
Almost everyone has praised her as a talented and beautiful girl, Tang Yu is undoubtedly the one with a mysterious veil in the class. Her grades are top-notch, and she is cold and proud. Probably because of such a personality, she doesn't have many friends, while other sweet girls like Chen Lingxuan are being pursued by countless people, she remains aloof.
Perhaps more people facing her dazzling, already have a sense of self-awareness, maybe not necessarily will be like the former Su Can, born out of the idea that no one can move Tang Yu's heart at this stage.
It is like a city in the clouds, because it has no foundation and is high above, so one can only look up to it, with no way to attack its strongholds.
Being able to make Tang Wei nod in agreement to just be friends, this undoubtedly has found a rainbow path leading to the city in the clouds, a wide and safe road. For a man like Yue Zijiang, what's the difference between this and taking another step towards success?
Yue Zijiang's father, Yue He, was the director of the Taxation Bureau, and his mother was the chairwoman of the Municipal Women's Federation. Such a family background is very impressive in the eyes of ordinary people, so it's hard to criticize. Whenever Yue Zijiang's pursuit of Tang Yu is mentioned, everyone nods in approval, giving them high praise as a perfect match made in heaven, and they all wish them well.
As for this matter, Su Can was also quite surprised. Until he exerted force under his feet, the football soared high into the air, and when it fell, countless people scrambled to get it. However, Su Can slowed down his pace and hid in the shade of a tree. If someone had seen his expression at that moment, they would have discovered that Su Can looked as if he had suddenly realized something, with a shocked look on his face.
Like a spell, born out of thin air.
Su Can recalled that in the reports of later generations about Tang Yu, the man who killed her was actually a friend she had known since her school days. The two even took the same university entrance exam and were considered to be the perfect couple by everyone. However, life is unpredictable and will shatter all seemingly beautiful myths one by one. In the end, the two went their separate ways, causing her boyfriend's love to turn into hate, filling his mind with hatred and ultimately leading to Tang Yu's demise.
The Grim Reaper's scythe had already stretched out its gleaming spearhead ten years ago, but cruelly, it was under the halo of admiration and envy from everyone's eyes that an unknowable shadow in the darkness was quietly descending with a dark posture similar to the dazzling sunlight at this moment.
Some girls who deliberately get close to Tang Yu reveal envy in their tone, and the rumors about Yue Zijiang are actually doing a lot of publicity for him in front of Tang Yu. He is so gentle in character, excellent in sports, careful in thinking, good in grades, and liked by teachers. Such a man, if it's said that in the entire No. 1 Middle School, only he can match with Tang Yu.
Tang Yu's eyes, which had slowly melted the glacier, could already see that she had a good impression of Yue Zijiang.
However, in this vast world, only Su Can knew that the envy of all the people around him, their ignorance of future life, and their longing for the love between Prince Charming and Cinderella at the current student stage had formed a powerful force, pushing Tang Yu bit by bit into the furnace of hell!
What's terrifying is that history has begun to unfold into a tragedy, the disaster of the flood in '98 made Su Can understand his own limitations, some things are not something he can change. What he worries about is this: if he cannot change all of this and can only watch as Tang Yu walks towards her predetermined fate, ultimately welcoming death, he believes this will become his eternal torment.
And in this vast world, he was the only one fighting alone, with no one to support him. For the first time, Su Can felt that ordinary people's ignorance of the future sometimes wasn't a bad thing.
However, the root cause of Su Can's tragic defeat in his past life was his tendency to escape and shrink back. This was also the personality that he hated the most after being reborn. He did not want to repeat the same mistakes, and he knew that if he could not change this, then even in this new life after rebirth, he would forever be haunted by shadows, and would inevitably return to his former state of despair. Without courage, one is destined to achieve nothing!
Su Can had only one thought in mind - he must stop all of this from happening!
How can he be stopped? What is to be done with him now that he's still so weak?!
