Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

one year later.

Yu Ru returned to school.

She cannot speak, and received a whole year of mental and psychological treatment before returning to school. As a result, she is destined to be different from ordinary students and finds it difficult to integrate into the lives of ordinary students. Therefore, she went back to school as a special child.

She is a student who attends classes with other students. She can attend classes as long as she is there. She can hand in her homework or not, and take exams or not. As long as she can do simple arithmetic and recognize words, and ensure that her future life will not be affected, the school will keep her normal enrollment and allow her to go to higher education, ensuring that she has received compulsory education and is not labeled as illiterate in her household registration.

During the period of receiving psychological treatment, Yu Ru did not give up studying. When she was in a good mental state, she learned by watching TV and reading books sent by kind people. She had a good understanding ability and studied hard enough, so she learned very quickly and finished the first to sixth grade content by herself within a year.

Before she was officially enrolled, the school was a little embarrassed about her study. Yu Ru could not speak, and had many problems with the normal class process. The teachers suggested that Yu Yousheng and Gu Yulan take her to a special school, otherwise she might not be able to make friends in school, and her study life would be very unhappy, which would be detrimental to her physical and mental development.

In addition, Yu Ru had not started school when she was abducted. Now she wants to go back to school, but she is too old to go to the first grade. If she goes to the grade corresponding to her age, she has not received any education before and cannot keep up with the learning progress, so it would be useless.

Both the school and Yu Ru's parents were troubled by the issue of Yu Ru's enrollment. They were in a small place, and there were no special schools, not even in the county. If they wanted to find a special school, they would have to go to a bigger and more distant place. In short, it was very troublesome.

Fortunately, Yu Ru worked hard and used her ability to break the deadlock. The school gave her a fourth-grade entrance test, which included three subjects, including Chinese, math and English. She scored full marks in all three subjects. As a result, the school did not block her and allowed her to enroll directly.

Life at school was not easy. Having no friends was the best outcome. Having many enemies was a real headache. Yu Ru had to shave her head because of a head injury, lice and maggots. For the sake of maintenance, she had always been bald. She was still bald when she went to school. There were many scabs on her head, and she could not grow hair for the time being.

Her family bought her a hat to cover it, but it was a peaked cap, so it didn't cover it completely, and you could still see the scar on her head. All the classmates saw the faint scar on her head, and everyone was afraid of her and didn't dare to get close to her.

That morning, Yu Ru went to school as usual. Her seat was fixed in the corner of the last row, right next to the back door. She walked in from the back door and put down her schoolbag. The two classmates sitting in front of her, a boy and a girl, heard the noise and turned around to look at her. When they saw her, the two who were originally talking and laughing immediately stopped talking.

The students who had already arrived and were chatting around also lowered their voices, and it was obvious that they were deliberately avoiding her. Everyone turned their backs to her tacitly, but would occasionally turn their heads to look in her direction and secretly scout her.

The two female classmates around her glanced at her and immediately started a discussion.

"I'm a little curious, why does she always wear a hat?"

"I don't know. I'm more curious about whether he is a man or a woman. Why is he bald and wearing clothes that seem to be worn by girls? Her shoes also seem to be worn by girls. How can he be so androgynous?"

"Yes, it's very strange. The hat he wore seems to be worn by a man. It's very strange."

"I don't like that kind of hat. I think it's ugly. Could he be a shemale?"

"possible."

"Why doesn't he have to wear school uniform? We have to wear it."

"Could it be that he is a relative of the principal? So he doesn't have to wear a school uniform."

……

On the other side, three male classmates gathered together and were originally discussing cards. After Yu Ru came, the topic of discussion turned to her.

"Hey, the ugly guy is here, should we go over and play a trick on him?"

"How?"

"Isn't he always wearing that hat? Let's take his hat off and see if there is something on their heads that makes them always wear hats."

"What if he goes crazy and bites us? I told my mom about him, and she said he might be mentally ill."

"Isn't that right? Can a mentally ill person come to school? Shouldn't a mentally ill person stay in a mental hospital? And she came with a knife last time. Does she want to kill someone?"

"I don't know. Maybe her mental illness didn't occur yet, and when it did, she was sent to a mental hospital."

"Should I go play a trick on him?"

"Let's not do it. What if he has those viruses? He always wears the mask that only doctors wear. My mom said that he must have the virus. What if she has a knife in her schoolbag?"

……

The people around her tried to avoid talking to Yu Ru, but they became more and more excited, and finally spoke in normal voices. Yu Ru heard everything they said clearly, but she pretended that she couldn't hear anything. She sat down in the classroom and studied silently. She didn't have any friends at school, so she had to study because she had no friends to play with. She is currently in the fourth grade, but she is already learning junior high school knowledge.

The three boys who were discussing playing a prank on someone actually went ahead and did what they imagined.

Two men walked up to Yu Ru and took her books to attract her attention. One of them went behind her and forcibly took off her hat.

"Hey~ let me wear your hat first, haha!"

The hat was taken off, and Yu Ru's bald head was revealed in front of everyone. The gauze wrapped on her head and the scars that were crisscrossed like a centipede were also revealed. The expressions of the people around her changed immediately. The classmate who took Yu Ru's hat shook his hand and threw Yu Ru's hat to the ground with a disgusted expression, as if he had touched something dirty.

"Hey——" the student shouted with a trailing tone, not only threw the hat to the ground, but also kicked it with his foot. The hat was kicked to the other end of the classroom.

"Ah! How scary! What is that?" One of the classmates screamed.

Yu Ru lowered her eyes and didn't react much. She stood up silently and walked to the hat to pick it up. In the horrified eyes of her classmates, she calmly brushed off the dust on the hat and put it back on her head.

After putting on her hat, she wanted to sit back down, but several male classmates overturned her desk, dumped everything in her drawer, threw her schoolbag to the ground, and kicked over her stool. The classmates were venting their inexplicable anger, and not only did they overturn her things, they also stepped on her books.

Yu Ru stood there and watched without stopping them. She waited until the students had stepped on the things enough before she stepped forward, squatted down and picked up her things.

The students who were surrounding her did not disperse, but gathered around her. Their eyes widened, their necks stretched forward, and they stared at Yu Ru's head, wishing their eyeballs would fall out and stick to her, so that they could see through her thoroughly.

"You monster! You come to school when you're so scary."

"That's right, it's so scary."

"What's that on your head? It's so scary."

……

Yu Ru has been in school for three months, and this is not the first time she has been bullied on such a large scale. The last time, she got the opportunity to make a fuss because a boy in the class who liked to play pranks secretly took her school bag away and rummaged through it, and found a fruit knife in her bag. That boy incited the emotions of the classmates, causing more than half of the classmates to collectively bully her, and almost all of them petitioned the head teacher to let her drop out of school.

Fortunately, the head teacher was a sensible, compassionate and kind woman. She knew her situation and had always taken good care of her. She stopped those classmates from making trouble for her to drop out of school and gave them a good lesson.

Facing insults from others, Yu Ru remained calm and quickly packed up her things.
