Putting aside the fact that she was a well-behaved girl in school, she was also pretty, and her academic results were always at the top of the grade, far ahead of the person in second place.
High school students were at the age where they yearned for love. Many of Yun Liuli's classmates, seniors, and juniors were all rejected by Yun Liuli. This made Yun Liuli the untouchable flower of their high school.
Moreover, the teachers always used Yun Liuli as an example and preached to everyone. As time passed, everyone kept a respectful distance from Yun Liuli. Yun Liuli didn't mind too much either, always being a loner.
Since young, Yun Liuli wasn't good at interacting with others. Most of the time, she was clueless and felt that she couldn't get along with these classmates, nor did she want to.
Because of this, Yun Liuli's parents even brought Yun Liuli to see a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist said that Yun Liuli had an unadaptive personality, and that she was too introverted and slightly autistic. However, it wasn't too serious, and she could be corrected with proper correction.
Yun Liuli's parents had put in a lot of effort for this. When Yun Liuli was still in junior high, Yun Liuli's parents saw that Yun Liuli's deskmate was a girl, so they gave her deskmate's parents some benefits so that they could be friends.
Back then, Yun Liuli's deskmate really spent every day thinking about how to talk to Yun Liuli. Sometimes, Yun Liuli could only reply with an "en" or just nod. Her deskmate was also very patient, always smiling brightly at Yun Liuli.
Yun Liuli didn't know how to respond to her deskmate's gossip. Sometimes, she found it very annoying, but this deskmate always claimed to be her good friend. As time passed, Yun Liuli seemed to be subtly influenced.
Although she felt that her deskmate's chatter was a little annoying, Yun Liuli didn't particularly hate her, so she let her be.
The next day after the monthly test results were out, Yun Liuli saw her deskmate get slapped. She took a few more glances and didn't ask anything, but her deskmate cried and said that her mother had slapped her for her poor results.
Yun Liuli was silent for a long time, but she still couldn't bear to help this dumb deskmate. With Yun Liuli's intelligence, she never needed to take notes in class. However, for her deskmate's good friend, Yun Liuli gave up her reading time to organize her notes. She even highlighted the key points for her deskmate and explained the questions she didn't understand.
Yun Liuli's deskmate was astonished to discover that when Yun Liuli was explaining the questions to her, she was especially straightforward and quick with her words. Adhering to the principle of letting the young lady from the Yun family speak more, whenever Yun Liuli's deskmate saw someone with a question that they didn't understand, she would bring them to Yun Liuli to explain it to them. This earned her quite a good reputation in class.
Yun Liuli's lectures were simpler and easier to understand than the teacher's. In class, she would always knock on her deskmate's desk as a warning when her mind wandered off. She managed to raise her deskmate's grades to the top ten in the cohort. As Yun Liuli explained the questions to everyone and circulated her notes in class, even the overall grades of the class had improved by quite a bit.
There was one time when Yun Liuli went to the washroom on her period, but she didn't bring any sanitary pads. She was about to send a message to her deskmate to help her buy sanitary pads when she heard her deskmate laughing and chatting with a few girls outside.
"If my parents didn't force me, do you think I would be willing to hang out with Yun Liuli?"
Yun Liuli could hear the utter disgust in her "good friend"'s voice when he mentioned her.
Yun Liuli furrowed her brows and her heart twisted together.
"You're quite pitiful. Your parents' jobs are in her father's hands! For your parents' sake, you have no choice but to hang out with Yun Liuli!"
"I say, that Yun Liuli is too detestable. She thinks she can act all high and mighty just because she's pretty, pretending to be aloof and virtuous. She clearly has a notebook that can help the whole class improve their grades, but she's hiding it for herself. It's as if she's afraid that someone else will get it and snatch her first place in the grade!"
"That's right. If Xiao Xia hadn't shared her notes with us, our results wouldn't have improved so much."
Yun Liuli, who was in the bathroom cubicle, furrowed her brows tightly. Her mind was filled with the phrase "I have no choice but to hang out with Yun Liuli for the sake of my parents."
That day, Yun Liuli didn't even return to class. She applied for leave from the teacher and went straight home.
She stared blankly in her room for a very long time. After resting for two days, she went to school as usual.
But faced with her deskmate's so-called concern, Yun Liuli didn't respond anymore.
From then on, Yun Liuli completely shut herself in her own little world. It was as if everything that happened in the outside world had nothing to do with Yun Liuli.
Yun Liuli remembered that she was in physical education class that day when a gust of wind suddenly blew. After the sound of thunder, it was followed by bean-sized raindrops, instantly drenching everyone. The air was filled with the smell of mud.
A delicate young lady screamed and hid under a tree, tidying her hair and skirt as she complained about the weather.
The physical education teacher got the students to hide from the rain under the roof of the sports field's equipment room. Yun Liuli stood alone in a corner, wearing an indifferent expression as she wiped her glasses that had been blurred by the rain with a tissue. Those girls seemed to intentionally keep their distance from Yun Liuli, making her stand out.
The group of girls behind Yun Liuli discussed Yun Liuli's strange personality in soft voices. Some of them were jealous of Yun Liuli's beauty and took the opportunity to add in a few words. Their voices weren't soft, but Yun Liuli pretended not to hear them.
The boys in their school uniforms were the first to run back to the classroom to get umbrellas. The girls all held the umbrellas in pairs and left. In the end, the three of them squeezed under one umbrella and laughed as they walked back to the classroom. Yun Liuli was the only one left standing under the roof of the equipment room.
Her gaze was unfocused as she stared at the dripping rain. She didn't even notice that a large portion of her pants had become wet.
It was raining, but the temperature didn't drop at all. The hot air, accompanied by the dampness, rushed toward her.
Yun Liuli's phone, which was set to vibrate in her pocket, vibrated slowly. Only her parents knew her phone number, and they were the ones who insisted that she keep it. Usually, other than when her parents contacted her in an emergency, she really didn't have much use for it.
She took out her phone and saw that it was an unknown number.
The rainwater splashed onto the screen. Yun Liuli slowly wiped away the water droplets with the tissue paper that she had dried her hair with earlier. She then put the phone by her ear and didn't say a word.
The phone's microphone was pressed against Yun Liuli's fair and beautiful ear. That deep and magnetic voice rang out from the other end of the phone. It had a hint of coldness and was so pleasant to the ears that it made one's heart palpitate.
"I'm Gu Qingcheng. Your father asked me to pick you up."
Yun Liuli's ears were filled with the loud sound of rain, but it didn't drown out that extremely penetrating voice at all.
Last night, Yun Liuli's father had told Yun Liuli that he and her mother had something to do and had entrusted her to a good friend called Gu Qingcheng. He would pick her up tomorrow and stay at his place for the weekend.
