Laws of Spirit Recycling

The janitor wearing a loose dark coat is skillfully replacing the new wall in front of the propaganda wall. Gu Qibai is bored and wandering in the pavilion not far away. When he saw this scene, he ran over with his feet.

"The monthly exam results are out!"

When Yu Yan heard him say this, he turned his head and found that the other party was already standing in front of the bulletin board, so he had no choice but to leave the stray cat he had just become familiar with, and put half a meat bag smuggled from the cafeteria on the grass, Yu Yan tapped the kitten's round head with a piece of grass as a substitute for stroking.

When I came to Gu Qi's side, I found him frowning in disbelief.

"what happened?"

Gu Qi stared straight at the column of campus stars: "No.1...No.1 is not Wang Xiuyuan!"

Yu Yan followed his gaze and found that the photo on the top was not the smiling face of the heroic boy he had seen before, but a slightly familiar boy.

"This was No.2 before, he surpassed Wang Xiuyuan... How is it possible? He was No.3 when I was here! It must be a mistake, it's unreasonable!" Gu Qi lay on the glass, angrily Everything is due to the teacher's negligence in marking the papers.

"Maybe it's really a mistake, the difference is only a few points." Yu Yan also echoed.

The janitor who was collecting things glanced at Yu Yan, stood up and muttered to his companion next to him: "Another crazy one."

"..."

"It's not us who are crazy, it's this school..." Yu Yan turned to face the back of the school worker who was leaving and said to himself.

Gu Qi's mood fluctuated a lot, as if seeing himself being surpassed by others, Yu Yan said: "Aren't you going to meet Wang Xiuyuan tonight? You can ask him, if the score is wrong, you can still change it back, right?"

"It's good that it's that easy. He should find it harder than anyone else to accept it now." With his hands off the glass window, Gu Qi seemed to have calmed down a lot.

"From the first monthly exam in the first year of high school to the present, no matter how difficult the basic exam is, he is No. 1. His performance can be said to be unsteady. I didn't expect to be overtaken this time. Could it be that he took the exam? What happened? There must be a reason, I don't believe he's going to be out of order."

Yu Yan said: "Is the score so important? No.2 doesn't mean failure."

"Scores may not matter to some people, but to others, they are everything."

Looking at his extremely serious eyes, Yu Yan was speechless for a moment.

"No, I'm going to take a look now, and take a look at the exam papers by the way!" After Gu Qi finished speaking, he hurried towards the teaching building.

Yu Yan followed behind calmly. It was dinner time now, and most of the students were not active in the teaching building. In the past, they would both stay in the corridor at this time, one watching the scenery and the other watching the people in the classroom. Since that time Yu Yan Yan almost pointed out to Gu Qi that after the other party left in a huff, they never came to see Wang Xiuyuan during the day again.

"Did you ask?" Yu Yan came to the back door and saw Gu Qi coming towards him.

"I didn't see him." Gu Qi was full of doubts, and turned his head to look at the window seat near the back door again, "That Yao Yu is not there either."

"Didn't they study here every day before?"

"Maybe I went to eat today." Gu Qi answered naturally with a pretended expression.

Then he thought of something, ran to Yao Yu's empty seat, opened the desk, and rummaged through things.

"what are you doing?"

"Look for the test paper."

"Small movements, others will see." Yu Yan reminded in a low voice.

Fortunately, the stacked books blocked the desks that opened and closed automatically. The students in front of the classroom who were doing their homework just turned their heads and glanced at Yu Yan who was not in the class but appeared in the classroom.

Yu Yan avoided others from running over to ask questions, and retreated to stand outside the classroom. After a long time, Gu Qi came out through the back door.

"I read it. The test paper is not particularly difficult. It is about the same level as the previous paper." This was the first sentence he said when he saw Yu Yan. "Wang Xiuyuan's position is too far ahead, I haven't looked at it yet."

"Ask him yourself tonight."

"I don't know if he will come tonight."

Wang Xiuyuan still fulfilled his promise and came to the basketball court after self-study on Friday night.

"Hi." Except that he looked a little tired, his expression was the same as usual, and he walked up to Gu Qi through the night with his head held high.

"Are you okay?" Gu Qi couldn't hide the matter, and asked him straight to the point.

Wang Xiuyuan was taken aback for a moment, then he understood, and said with a smile: "You mean the monthly exam results? It was really not very good when I first learned the scores and rankings, but now I have adjusted it."

They were sitting on the bench next to them, Gu Qi looked at each other's expressions, as if he was trying to figure out the truthfulness of his words, after a silence he said: "It's fine if you can think about it, but, have you checked the paper carefully, yes Didn’t any teacher make a mistake? There are [-] classes in the whole school in the second grade alone, with so many students, teachers often miscalculate marks.”

Gu Qi's words revealed his obsession with scores and rankings.

Wang Xiuyuan smiled helplessly, and said, "I've read it a long time ago. There is no mistake in the score, and there was no accident during the exam. The No.2 this time is indeed my result."

"You can actually say these words frankly." Gu Qi said with a little emotion.

"It has already happened, of course we must recognize the facts."

"Then... are you really regressing? Is it because of my appearance that I disturbed you?"

Wang Xiuyuan turned his head, smiled wryly and said, "What are you thinking, of course it's not your problem."

Gu Qi suddenly realized, and continued to express his speculation: "That is Yao Yu who makes you make up lessons every day! Spending so much time lecturing him on topics and finding information every day, half of the time is spent on it, the efficiency of my own review will definitely decrease. "

He didn't mean to blame Yao Yu, he seemed to be trying his best to find a reason for Wang Xiuyuan's regress, but the other party still smiled wryly after hearing this, "It has nothing to do with him, and if you really want to say it, he has helped me instead. "

"He helped you?" Gu Qi looked in disbelief.

Wang Xiuyuan bowed his head and said slowly: "During this period of time, I was negligent in my studies, and even the class teacher noticed it. But it was not because of others, it was my family's business. It happened that Yao Yu appeared at this time, and I found out what happened to him. He is very similar to himself, always wanting to help him and give him a hand, in fact he is more sympathetic."

"It turns out that you helped him like that out of sympathy."

"It used to be, but it's different now. He's very nice, and he's different from many people." Wang Xiuyuan's eyes shone brightly, and the corners of his bitter mouth lifted up, turning into his usual bright smile. "Today he also came to comfort me. I'm sorry, although I didn't say anything, it made me feel a lot better."

Gu Qi looked at him calmly, and his silent emotions began to float up and down again.

"Don't worry, I've already adjusted, I won't let myself continue to retreat, and I can't be affected by anything."

Gu Qi responded, and suddenly asked: "Have you thought about what to do in the future?"

"I've thought about it a few times, but I want to be a surgeon the most." Wang Xiuyuan stretched out his hands and gestured in the air, "Surgeons are just like long-distance running. They need to race against time, and they must have strong perseverance and concentration. The only difference is that , The purpose of long-distance running is to win, it is a game to challenge oneself, while the surgeon is to save patients, and what he is fighting against is a fragile life full of variables."

Gu Qi's eyes didn't blink, as if he hadn't withdrawn his thoughts from these calm but profound words.

"What did you want to do before?"

Wang Xiuyuan's question brought him back to reality. Gu Qi thought for a while: "I didn't think about this before, and I didn't expect it. I used to just want to get better and better grades and keep ranking higher. Now I find that I seem to be doing nothing but studying. No, I should be the kind of nerd that others say."

"Nerds? On the contrary, I think this kind of people who can focus on one thing are very powerful. They can often use their talents and hard work to the extreme." Wang Xiuyuan looked up, looking at the dim stars hidden in the night, "In fact, no matter what you do What, as long as you feel meaningful is enough."

Meaning... As a wandering soul, what is the meaning of existing in this world?Gu Qi asked in his heart.

"Eh? Have you heard! That thing..."

"I heard it, it's terrible, how could this happen?!"

"Yeah, it's really a pity. I used to be in the same class as her before I was divided into subjects..."

Since morning self-study, the campus has been filled with such voices. They whispered in low tones, with expressions of regret, surprise, and uneasiness on their faces, spreading news from whoever A, B, and C, exaggeratingly fabricating a Not too big a story version.

It wasn't until lunch that Gu Qi finally squatted at the dining table and heard the objective version.

"A girl in our school committed suicide at home last night, and she was also a sophomore." Gu Qi approached the gazebo with a sad face, and this place and the lotus pond had become the regular range of activities for him and Yu Yan during the day.

"Suicide? Generally, people who commit suicide have no wishes or expectations for this world, so their souls will not stay." Yu Yan's first reaction was to say the answer after professional inertial thinking.

"My point is not this! The point is the reason why the girl committed suicide."

Yu Yan was squatting on the ground to tease the cat, and responded with interest: "What is the reason?"

"She, she was... that." Gu Qi couldn't say those two words no matter what, and was a little embarrassed.

"That?" Yu Yan turned to look at him, not knowing why.

Gu Qi was anxious: "It's just being ruined by a man!"

"who is it?"

"How do I know, I'm not a policeman, nor a detective, how do I know which pervert did it."

"I'm asking, who is that girl? Do you know her?"

Gu Qi thought about the girl's name carefully, and recalled the matching face in his mind, but to no avail.He shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Yu Yan was puzzled: "Then why are you so excited?"

"Your death gods are really cruel... Anyway, it's a human life!" Gu Qi expressed deep sympathy, and after he finished speaking, he changed into a worried expression, and said hesitantly: "I heard that she took several days of sick leave last week. She was going to school today, but who knew that this happened. Some people said that she was not sick, but she didn’t come because she wanted to hide from the people in the school. And the day before she asked for leave, people from our school saw that girl and Wang Xiuyuan together..."

Yu Yan suddenly understood the reason for his excitement, and asked, "Is this true?"

"I don't know, whether it's true or not, I believe in Wang Xiuyuan, it can't be him!" Gu Qi was categorical, walked over and asked Yu Yan: "Do you think it was Wang Xiuyuan who did it?"

"Human affairs are too complicated." Yu Yan turned his head away and did not jump to conclusions.

"You don't even believe him who observes him every day? Wang Xiuyuan is definitely not a person who would do such a thing. He is serious, motivated, hard-working, modest, and often helps others. There is no news of him even fighting with others. How could it be possible? ...How could such a thing be done?!"

No one heard Gu Qi's cry, he walked anxiously around the spot a few times, and finally said: "Let's go to the teaching building to have a look."

"You want to ask Wang Xiuyuan directly? It's daytime, and you can't communicate."

Gu Qi rolled his eyes, disapproving: "As a friend's concern, I just went to see how he is doing now."

"It's still lunch break, let's go later."
